Chapter 699
Xinyang, the 21st Army Command.
Liao Lei's 21st Army did not participate in the Xiaogan, nor did they participate in the Battle of Yunwu Mountain. Their mission was to stick to the Xinyang line and block the Japanese 15th Division's way to reinforce the south!
However, now the Battle of Yunwu Mountain has ended, and the Second Army of Higakirokumiya Nianyan has been completely wiped out, so there is no need for the 15th Division to go south. If it continues to go south, it may be trapped in the encirclement of **. So as soon as the Second Army was completely wiped out, the 15th Division retreated northward and broke into contact with **.
So now, Liao Lei's 21st Army has a rare rest time.
"Wow!" Wei Yunsong, the commander of the 31st Army, gently pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse under his crotch stopped at the door of the 21st Army Command.
The guards guarding the gate naturally recognized Wei Yunsong and hurried up to hold the horse.
Wei Yunsong turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins to the guards, then turned around and broke into the gate.
Wei Yunsong rushed straight inside, but no one dared to stop him. Soon, he broke into Liao Lei's office.
Liao Lei stood up and was about to pour tea. When he saw Wei Yunsong breaking in quickly, he smiled and scolded: "Hey, you Wei Heidou, what are you in a hurry to do? Is the house ordered?"
After saying this, Liao Lei said again: "But it is impossible. Your villa is simply a military fortress. Who has the ability to order your Lao Wei's house?"
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief Liao!" Wei Yunsong stomped his feet, "When is it now? Are you still in the mood to joke?"
"What's wrong?" Liao Lei was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion, "It's really a matter of cooperation, but the Japanese have retreated. Lao Wei, what else can you do? Could it be that the 15th Division is fighting back?"
"What is the 15th Division fighting back, borrowing them both!" Wei Yunsong stamped his feet again and said, "Old Liao, you really don't know anything?"
"What are you talking about?" Liao Lei said blankly, "Why can't I understand very well?"
"You are really, you don't care about anything!" Wei Yunsong said angrily, "You haven't heard that the commander-in-chief is going to form a new war zone, the Dabie Mountain war zone!"
Liao Lei continued to say in confusion: "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"If you listen to me and you will know if it's relevant." Wei Yunsong said again, "I heard that Lao Chang had only one purpose for establishing the Dabie Mountains War Zone, which is to counterattack Nanjing and restore Nanjing!"
"Is that true?" Liao Lei said, "then this task is not easy."
"Isn't that true?" Wei Yunsong clapped his hands, "Anyone can accomplish the restoration of Nanjing? Lao Chang several times the senior generals in the command headquarters, that is, Jian Gong has this ability."
"It's true." Liao Lei nodded and said, "There are only a few senior generals in the command headquarters. Feng Yuxiang, Tang Shengzhi and the others don't need to consider it. What else can Chen Shi do besides flattering? He Yingpei is barely competent, but does Lao Chang dare to use it? As for the remaining few people, let alone, it's just Jian Gong."
Wei Yunsong said: "But he proposed a condition for Zhang Yigong!"
Liao Lei was silent. He knew that Bai Chongbei was taking the opportunity to attack, because Principal Chang had previously arranged for him and did not allow him to actually command the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle as the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
Liao Lei was still disgusted with the intrigue between these factions, but as a member of the Guangxi warlord, he didn't have much to say.
Wei Yunsong said: "Old Liao, don't you want to ask about the conditions?"
"I'm too lazy to ask, you can say it if you want to say it, but don't want to say it." Liao Lei said that, and stood up and was about to leave.
"Oh, Lao Liao, don't leave." Wei Yunsong quickly pulled Liao Lei and sat down, and said, "I have made a condition for Zhang to make a reservation for Mr. Jian, that is, the candidate for the deputy commander-in-chief of this Dabie Mountains War Zone, and Mr. Jian must be selected!"
Hearing this, Liao Lei even though he is stupid, he understands why Wei Yunsong came here.
It turns out that Wei Yunsong hopes that Liao Lei can win over and become the deputy chief of this war zone!
"Now I understand why I went this trip? You, the emperor is really not in a hurry but he hastily killed me, the eunuch." Wei Yunsong said, "Do you know that Li Heling has already rushed from the battlefield of Yunwu Mountain to Dawu County! At this time, he rushed to Dawu County to meet Jian Gong. What do you think is for?"
Liao Lei was silent when he heard this.
...
Dawu County, the head of the Fifth War Zone.
When Bai Chong griew moved the head of the Fifth War Zone from Tongbai County to Dawu County, in fact, to command the battle of Xiaogan nearby, but on the surface, of course he could not do so. On the surface, he said that he should guard the Pinghan Railway with the honor of the war zone commander, and not allow a Japanese reinforcement to go to Xiaogan through Dawu!
But in the end, Bai Chong's grief was still in ruins.
Because he didn't even calculate it, Zhong Yi suddenly fell ill!
Because of this, Bai Chongbei also had some opinions about Zhong Yi. However, even if he had opinions, Bai Chongbei still recognized Zhong Yi's ability very much.
Therefore, Bai Chongbei specifically proposed a condition to the commander.
But this condition includes two people, one is the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater, and the other is the chief staff!
Bai Chongbei actually wanted Zhong Yi to directly serve as the chief of staff of the theater, but his qualifications were too shallow, so he could only serve as the chief of staff at most!
As for the deputy commander-in-chief of the war zone, Bai Chongbei has not yet thought about it.
Because there are two suitable candidates within the Guangxi clan, one is Liao Lei and the other is Li Pinxian!
Bai Chong was indifferent to Liao Lei, because Liao Lei was upright and well-known throughout Guangxi. In comparison, Li Pinxian's personal ethics were much worse than Liao Lei.
But Li Pinxian also has his strengths, and his connections are wider than Liao Lei.
Just when Bai Chong was in a daze, the guard suddenly came in and reported: "Commander-in-Chief Li asked for a meeting!"
"Li Heling?" Bai Chong was surprised when he heard this, thinking that this guy's nose was really smart and his movements were really fast enough. He had just had a meeting in Chongqing at noon, and he came to him in the afternoon.
At that moment, Bai Chongbei signaled the guards to let Li Pinxian in.
After a while, Li Pinxian quickly stepped in and saluted Bai Chong and said, "Mr. Jian!"
"Heling, why are you here?" Bai Chongbei deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Sit down quickly."
"Xie Jiangong." Li Pinxian sat half of his butt on the chair and said, "I am here to congratulate Jiangong here first!"
"Your information is quite well-informed." Bai Chongbei smiled and said with a smile when he saw that he couldn't hide it. He Ling, I'm afraid you came to me for this matter, right?"
Li Pinxian said: "It's really impossible to hide anything from you, Mr. Jian."
The balance in Bai Chongbei's heart began to tilt towards Li Pinxian, shook his head and said, "He Ling, I declare in advance that this is a chore!"
Li Pinxian said: "If this is a good thing, I won't come to you!"
