Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Chapter 437 Sharpening the Knife

Dian Ao stood up holding his top hat, and suddenly said to Kolchak: "Your Excellency, war is long-term. It is not a time to care about the length of a day. What is more important is life. Which ones do you follow?" The life of the victim. People have to survive first, and then they can think about other things. That reliable friend is not interested in your gold, he hopes that the millions of Russian elites who follow you can survive, and it is not only Russia the hope of humanity, and the hope of mankind.”

When Kolchak heard this sentence, he suddenly looked at Dian Ao with sharp eyes, as if he had been hit by something, Dian Ao didn't speak any more, just bent down, bowed, turned and left.

While the Russian civil war was in full swing, the Chinese civil war was already sharpening its sword and was about to begin.

"You are Sun Meiyao." At the Northern Expedition Army headquarters in Xuzhou, Bai Chongxi, who had just been appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Northern Expedition Army, looked at a Shandong man in front of him very calmly and said this sentence.

The man from Shandong named Sun Meiyao nodded: "Thank you to the brothers of the Youth Army for taking away Zhang Zongchang, the dog-meat general's bandit soldier in Xuzhou, and avenging the deaths of our villagers in the Yimeng Mountain area."

Bai Chongxi didn't say anything, he knew about the civil uprising in Shandong the year before last.In fact, it was precisely because of this civil uprising that Tao Zhiyue, who was in charge of combat missions in the Xuzhou area at the time, was able to complete the deployment of troops calmly, and Zhang Zongchang, who had defeated Wu Peifu and invaded Henan, had to return to Shandong.It can be said that the final formation of the current North-South military confrontation pattern is inseparable from this civil uprising.However, the youth army was not particularly concerned about the final result of this civil uprising, because this civil uprising was indeed out of their plan. At that time, neither the Military Intelligence Bureau nor the Party Affairs Investigation Department participated in it. At the time of this rebel army, the civil uprising had already been extinguished by Zhang Zongchang's mobilized army with the force of thunder.

And Sun Meiyao's elder brother, Sun Meizhu, was the leader of this civil uprising. After three battles with Zhang Zongchang, the rebel army with low combat skills was naturally defeated by the Zhishan coalition forces.

Sun Meizhu retreated towards the Jiaodong area with more than 2000 people. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army stationed in Qingdao was dispatched at this time. The two sides had an encounter in Zhucheng. Sun Meizhu was killed by the Japanese army in this battle.The remaining troops fled back to the Yimeng Mountain area under the leadership of Sun Meiyao, who was only 19 years old at the time. Fortunately, the Zhishan-Shandong Allied Forces had already aggressively attacked Xuzhou, so Sun Meiyao survived.

Then came the Battle of Xuzhou that shocked the world. In less than an hour, the elite of the 5000 Zhi-Shandong Allied Forces were wiped out by the youth army with fierce firepower.However, Sun Meiyao, who was short of food and clothing, established contact with the agents of the Shandong Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then obtained secret supplies from the south, successfully surviving in the Yimeng Mountain area.The team also expanded to [-] people, and gradually became a headache for Zhang Zongchang again.

This time, Bai Chongxi was ordered to organize the Battle of Shandong. Knowing the art of war, it is naturally impossible for him to use the enemy army, especially the Japanese army's logistics line. The army has no temper in front of the Red Russian guerrillas.So this tactic can continue to be used in the Shandong area. As long as you find a way to control the location of the decisive battle away from Qingdao, then the Japanese logistics line can only be passively extended, but who should be sent to undertake this sabotage task? ?Sun Meiyao, a local snake, is naturally the first choice.

"We plan to organize a guerrilla group in Shandong, and then use this guerrilla group to attack the Japanese army's logistics supplies and collect information on the deployment and mobilization of the Japanese army. You and your team are the most suitable existence for this guerrilla group, but I really want to know your own thoughts, what are you willing to do?"

Although Sun Meiyao has not received formal military training, she still knows how to stand at attention. He saluted a standard military salute and said: "As long as it is an errand with the little Japan, I will die for the humble job."

Bai Chongxi nodded in satisfaction. In the past two years, his own life has also gone through ups and downs. Think about how majestic he was when he commanded more than 20 soldiers in Europe to defeat the German army two years ago.Unexpectedly, I actually got the idea of ​​being superior, and met Wang Jingwei by accident. If I didn't stick to my principles in the end and didn't participate in the assassination plot, then the end of Liu Junqiang and the navy's generals would be my end.

However, Bai Chongxi's ambition can be controlled at last, so he didn't take the last and most fatal step.And when Wang Zhenyu really killed someone, Bai Chongxi felt fear of Wang Zhenyu for the first time in his life, and it was a deep fear. He woke up from nightmares countless nights, in which groups of armed gendarmes wearing white armbands broke into the door. and then arrest himself, or some guy in black suddenly shoots himself.This is why Bai Chongxi has never had a good look at his guards. In his heart, these guards are all assigned by the Military Commission's Guard Corps, and they are all unreliable. They can change from guards to arresters at any time.

It took more than half a year for Bai Chongxi to experience such a huge psychological pressure. It was not until Li Zongren, who returned from Europe to report on his work, had a deep chat with him all night that the negative emotions were effectively relieved.

Then there was a year of idle time, but for Bai Chongxi who had escaped from danger, it was already very good to keep his life and salary.Maybe it was really hard work, Bai Chongxi was finally remembered by Wang Zhenyu again, and was appointed as the chief of staff of the Northern Expedition Army again, and this time he was the real chief of staff, and a full twenty divisions were allocated to the Northern Expedition Army. It can be said that this is the first multi-arms combined operation of the Youth Army since its establishment.Except for Wang Zhenyu himself, that is, General Staff Wan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, etc., the senior generals who can command such an army in combat do not exceed five fingers.And it is estimated that he is Bai Chongxi who is really capable of commanding such a large-scale synthetic operation. During this year of unemployment, Bai Chongxi did not give up on himself or defile himself for safety.If he did that, he would not be Bai Chongxi. He is still like a professional soldier. He goes to Wuhan Army University every day to listen to the lectures of German instructors, and then uses the opportunity of being an active deputy general staff to inspect the Air Force and Armored Forces. It can be said that the understanding of new tactics is in the whole Among the top management, Bai Chongxi is second only to Wang Zhenyu.

So this time Bai Chongxi was once again tasked with taking charge of this crucial battle related to the unification of the motherland.This also made Bai Chongxi, who had always been arrogant, very cautious, so he still had great expectations for Sun Meiyao.

"Don't worry, Xiao Sun, this matter is not as simple as finding the Japanese desperately. Specifically, it also involves the transformation of your current subordinates so that they have basic military literacy. Isn’t it? I’ve done a little research on the situation of your team. It’s far from the regular army, not to mention, even compared with Japan’s third-line supply troops, the gap is not 01:30 points. So the first item It is to transform your team, what do you think?"

Sun Meiyao frowned unconsciously and said: "Chief Bai, this is indeed a problem. My team is different from the Youth Army. Strictly speaking, it is a team pulled together by poles. Apart from myself, there are dozens of other people, big and small. Boss, it is really difficult to make them full of fighting power like the army. But I will do my best to do this job well, please rest assured, Chief of Staff Bai!"

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about your loyalty to the national government, but you can't make good use of the army in your hands. Hard work will only make the situation more complicated." , and the attack on the logistics transportation line requires a somewhat gangster team to do it, and the regular army may not be effective in doing this job."

Sun Meiyao couldn't understand, so he asked softly, "What do you mean, Chief of Staff Bai?"

Bai Chongxi said with a smile: "I will send a group of officers who are good at guerrilla warfare and mountain warfare to your army, and at the same time replace the equipment for your army. You still have time, so you hurry up and cooperate with these officers to complete the task of your troops. Transformation is enough, there is no need to rush, haste makes waste, understand?"

Sun Meiyao nodded to express her understanding, and then suddenly thought of something: "Chief Bai, when I came, I discussed with all the big and small leaders in the village, and everyone is willing to be recruited by the Nationalist Youth Army, it's just a matter of the number. "

Bai Chongxi proudly said: "I have heard the report on this matter. The official number of the youth army is not so easy to get, but it's not that you can't get the official number because you are a bandit, but you need real guns to get the official number." Show off your combat achievements, understand?"

Sun Meiyao nodded and said, "I understand, it's just that what should our team be called to the outside world right now? It's always inconvenient to recruit without a name."

Bai Chongxi nodded and said: "As soon as the war starts, you should set up the banner of resisting Japan and saving the country. As for the name, you should call it Shandong Anti-Japanese and Saving the Communist Party. You can decide for yourself about recruiting troops. Don't affect your completion of the task. The team is too complicated. It is beneficial for you to carry out operations to break diplomatic relations behind enemy lines..."

Sun Meiyao was startled, nodded immediately and said: "I understand, I must pay attention."

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "There is one thing you must understand. When this battle is over, the country will be unified. Since the unification is completed, the existence of local warlords and separatist forces will not be allowed. This must be kept in mind , don’t have any bad thoughts.”
