[Volume 31] Chapter 272: Chapter 110 Six Virtuous Neighbors Seek Soldiers (2)

------------

After packing up, Chiang Kai-shek left Xuzhou, but he felt that the situation in Xuzhou was critical. Before boarding the train at the train station, he repeatedly asked Li Zongren: "Delin, do you think Xuzhou can be guarded?"

Li Zongren said confidently: "Chairman, please rest assured that there will be no problems in Xuzhou in the short term. If I can get enough supplements, I may still win a moderate victory!"

Chiang Kai-shek can win the battle when he hears it?Satisfied and kept nodding in praise: "Good! Good! Very good! I am very relieved that Delin has this preparation!" Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountain and River 27216

Although Li Zongren spoke clearly, the smile on his face was not easy. The situation in front of Li Zongren was that Teng County was already facing the threat of the Japanese army, and whether the fifth war zone could finally stop the Japanese army's offensive at Taierzhuang and the canal, The successful completion of the Lunan defensive operation plan is related to the overall situation.

If the Japanese army breaks through Taierzhuang and the canal line, Xuzhou will soon be lost, and the current deployment of the Supreme Military Commission's Wuhan battle will be completely disrupted.Judging by the existing troops in the Fifth Theater, which one is capable of carrying out the mission of blocking Taierzhuang and the canal?After weighing repeatedly, Li Zongren decided that the second group army should take on this arduous task.

The Second Army is a serious miscellaneous army. Its predecessor was a part of Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army. The commander-in-chief of the army, Sun Lianzhong, was born in Xiong County, Hebei Province. Later, Sun Lianzhong accepted Chiang Kai-shek's adaptation and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Second Army.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Sun Lianzhong once led his troops to severely injure the Japanese army at Niangziguan. Li Zongren had a deep understanding of the history and combat effectiveness of this army. He believed that Sun Jun was the former department of the Northwest Army and was best at defense, but the Second Army was indeed the first. Cheng Qian's unit in the war zone, let Sun Lianzhong come to the fifth war zone, it still needs Chiang Kai-shek to ask.

Li Zongren made a specific request to Chiang Kai-shek, requesting that the second army be transferred to the fifth theater, and let Sun Lianzhong go to Taierzhuang with a strong force to build fortifications and prepare for the final defensive battle. Chiang Kai-shek naturally agreed to Li Zongren's request, and he can't wait for it now Concentrate all the miscellaneous troops in the fifth theater, and then fight with the Japanese, then it seems that the world will be peaceful, and his wish of "Anne" for many years will come true.

However, Li Zongren's move to mobilize Sun Lianzhong's second army was actually his act of asking for directions. Gao Fei stood aside and watched the intrigue and competition between the leaders of these times, and suddenly felt very tired?Fight the Japanese?Want to fight with your own people?Fighting against the sky?Competing with the land?The purpose of life is only to struggle?Or is being in a high position a struggle in itself?

Li Zongren's throwing stones to ask for directions was planned by Bai Chongxi, but at this moment Bai Chongxi stood aside as if nothing happened, because Li Zongren was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking, and if Sun Lianzhong's second army was a shield, then Li Zongren still lacked a weapon at the moment sword?Who can be this sharp sword?

Standing behind Chiang Kai-shek and also belonging to the No.20 Corps of the First War Zone, Tang Enbo is Li Zongren's real goal!

After Li Zongren spoke, Tang Enbo's facial expression froze, and Chiang Kai-shek was also slightly taken aback?

Gao Fei remembered that Tang Enbo was from Yiwu, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from the Department of Political Science and Economics of Meiji University in Japan and the No.18 Infantry Division of the Chinese Team of the Non-commissioned Officer Academy.After returning to China, he joined the National Revolutionary Army and served as staff officer, commander of the teaching company, captain of the Whampoa Military Academy cadets, attached to the Sixth Army Teaching Corps, military instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy, deputy director of the Education Department, deputy company commander of the officer education company, company commander, Luoyang As the director of the branch school, it can be said that he and Chiang Kai-shek have the same hometown and school friendship.

When the Whampoa Military Academy teaching unit and the special forces united into the Second Teaching Division, Tang Enbo, as a person with no field experience, was unexpectedly promoted to the major general of the first brigade of the division?It can be seen that although this is Chiang Kai-shek's trust in him, it is also doomed that the first battle he participated in in his life ended in failure.

Since then, Tang Enbo has successively served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Division, the commander of the Second Division, the commander of the Fourth Division, and the commander of the No.80 Ninth Division.During this period, he participated in several military operations to encircle and suppress the Red Army and attack the Fujian government of the 1935th Route Army. In fact, Tang Enbo has some similarities with Chen Cheng, another cadre that Chiang Kai-shek worked hard to train, that is, he often loses battles , Until April 4, Tang Enbo, who had an extraordinary resume, was promoted to lieutenant general by the Nationalist government, and then promoted to commander of the No.13 army.

Gao Fei remembers that Li Zongren’s fierce criticism of Tang Enbo in the diaspora almost became the main classic basis for later generations to judge Tang Enbo, so that his reputation was abnormally bad, but from the perspective of the Kuomintang to look at Tang Enbo’s ideology stance throughout his life, It also makes it difficult to get any praise, and it loses more battles than wins.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Tang was the commander of the No.20 Corps. He participated in battles including the Battle of Nankou. Tang Enbo led the No.13 Army to fight the Japanese army for ten days in Huailai, Nankou, and Juyongguan. He has made contributions, but his disobedience to Li Zongren's command also planted a discord between him and Li Zongren, the commander of the fifth theater, so that it developed to the point of an old enemy.

Tang Enbo's bloody battle in the south of the mouth was known as the hero of the Anti-Japanese War, but in the subsequent Anti-Japanese War, he was dubbed by the folks as Tang Enbo, who loved the people like his son, and his negative contribution to China's Anti-Japanese War was indelible.

After Tang Enbo was promoted and commanded a large-scale army due to his meritorious service, he was unable to maintain military discipline only by collecting taxes and providing food and salaries from Henan Province.Henan people describe the four major disasters in Henan at that time by water, drought, locust, soup, and the four shortages in Henan.The Tang among them was Tang Enbo, but at that time Henan people also called the bandits Laotang, Tang means bandit, according to Tang Enbo's old enemy Li Zongren, the military discipline of Tang Enbo's army was very corrupt, so corrupted that it was no different from the bandits.

Sure enough, after Li Zongren opened his mouth, Chiang Kai-shek paced back and forth and said, "The No. 20 Corps can be assigned to the command of the fifth theater, but it must be used as a whole, and the elite troops must be used at critical moments!"

Li Zongren saw Chiang Kai-shek's reluctance, but he really needed Tang Enbo's sharp sword, because the combat plan to block the Japanese army on the north and south lines had already begun to be implemented, and the opportunity he was waiting for was that the Japanese army would advance alone in one of the lines. Tang Enbo's No.20 Corps can immediately hit the enemy's back and complete a beautiful anti-encirclement.
