Nanjing, the leader's official residence!
"Your Excellency! Li Zongren's Gui Army was the first front army and had already entered Hunan. According to our intelligence, their goal is to reach Hubei and Hubei.
Feng, Yu, and Xiang's Northwest Army formed the Second Front Army, which attacked Xuzhou from Henan through the Longhai and Pinghan routes.
Their goal was to take down Xuzhou and then join forces with the Gui army in Wu Han.
As for Yan Baichuan's Jinsui Army, they were the 3rd Front Army. They would cooperate with the Northwest Army to take down Xuzhou. Attack Nanjing via the Jinpu railway."
He Yingqin, this person who was known as the chairman's confidant. At this moment, he was holding a baton and moving continuously on the huge map.
"Humph! Their ambitions were not small! They actually want to unite warlords from all over the country to attack us. Everyone, let's see how we should deal with this battle.”
The Generalissimo glanced at his generals and asked.
"Your Excellency! Although they have the advantage in numbers, we have a huge advantage in terms of weapons and transportation.
And we have the support of the air force. It's not necessarily impossible for us to win!"
The one who spoke was Gu Zhutong. As a general under the chairman, he definitely had some skills.
"Jiang, I don't think you guys should be thinking about an all-out attack.
You have a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but you have an advantage in terms of weapons and combat power.
Among these local warlords, the Northwest Army was the strongest, followed by the Jinsui Army and the Gui Army.
When you deal with the war in the north, you can first concentrate your superior forces to attack the Jinsui Army, then turn around to deal with the Northwest Army.
The Gui Army is just south of you, and their combat strength is the weakest among these warlords. I think we can easily deal with them!”
The speaker was the head of the German military delegation to China, General Hans van Sekert.
In the original history, they had indeed played a part in the Generalissimo's war in the Central Plains.
The strategic policy of the Generalissimo to take the lead in attacking the Shansi-Suiyuan Army was also his idea.
"Oh? General Sekert, do you think we can destroy the Jinsui Army first before attacking the Northwest Army? However, the Northwest Army will not sit idly by and watch us cripple the Jinsui Army. Moreover, the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army are too close to each other. I'm afraid it's not beneficial for us!”
Although the chairman had a good feeling about Sekurt's strategy, he still voiced his concerns.
"No, I can't! Jiang, they were only working together. It was impossible for their timing and coordination to be flawless.
You can attack the Jinsui Army and feign an attack on the Northwest Army.”
................................
In the end, the Generalissimo adopted Vonsecter's suggestion to concentrate the superior forces and attack the Jinsui army first.
May 11, 1930.
The chairman finally started a war with Yan Baichuan and the others.
The general who adopted Sekert's suggestion first concentrated his superior forces and began to attack the Jinsui Army.
Then, they launched a feint attack on the Northwest Army.
However, even though it was a feint, the ones who launched the feint were Gu Zhutong, Chen Cheng, and the others.
They obviously did not want to launch a feint attack like this, thinking that they could completely defeat the enemy with their own strength.
Under the cover of the air force, they began to attack Sun Liangcheng and the others.
In the early stages of the war, Jiang's army was ferocious, and the Northwest Army was forced to retreat.
In Heze and other places in Shandong.
Jiang Dingwen's army was also forced to retreat under Jiang Dingwen's attack.
It was as if victory had been in Jiang's grasp from the start of the war.
But this was just an illusion.
In the beginning, Yan Baichuan, Feng Yu, and Xiang were indeed caught off guard. However, after they reacted, they began to reorganize their troops and launch a counterattack against Jiang's army.
Jiang's army's offensive also paused for a moment.
At this point, the war in the Central Plains that would affect the future of China had finally begun.
..........................
On May 22nd, he returned to Sui City.
When Han Ling learned that the two sides had finally entered a stalemate, a smile appeared on his face.
"Very good! Now, the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army had truly fallen into the trap.
After this period of expansion, our army has been expanded to fifteen infantry regiments and one heavy artillery regiment. Not counting the guards
There were two human infantry regiments and thirteen clone infantry regiments.
With these 50,000 people, we can also join this game!”
At this moment, Han Ling knew.
Now that he had more than 50,000 elites in his hands, he could be considered to have the capital to contend for hegemony.
"Now that the time has come, shouldn't you be able to take action?”
Ya Siqi asked when she saw Han Ling's smile.
"Of course! For this expedition, there will be fifteen infantry regiments. I will take twelve infantry regiments and leave three infantry regiments for you to defend Gui Sui and its surrounding territories.
In addition, you must strictly supervise the logistics.
We cannot afford to lose our logistics. Although the firepower of the troops is strong, the consumption of ammunition is also very high. Once there is a problem with the logistics, our situation will not be good!”
Han Ling was very serious about the logistics. He also planned to leave the logistics to Yaski.
"Don't worry!"
"Yes!"
................
1930, May 23rd. Han Ling led 12 infantry regiments. A heavy artillery regiment and its own guard regiment of 40,000 people began to move south from Gui Sui to Datong.
Han Ling's goal was clear. His first goal was Yan Baichuan's Great Unity.
When Han Ling arrived at Liangcheng County, Yan Baichuan was in Taiyuan City, extremely anxious.
..................
Taiyuan, Shanxi
"What did you say? Han Ling led more than 40,000 people south. His goal was Datong?”
Yan Baichuan's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe this.
He could never have imagined that it had only been so long.
In just a few months, Han Ling had grown from a single person to a small warlord with tens of thousands of troops. Wasn't this too fast?
"Yes, I am! It is said that they have brought more than ten infantry regiments south this time. It seems that they want to take Datong and open the northern gate of our Shanxi!”
An adjutant said.
"How many troops do we have in Da Tong?”
Yan Baichuan thought for a moment and asked.
The generals under him were fighting the chairman at the front line.
The elite troops were all transferred to the front line. There were not many troops behind them.
As for Han Ling, Yan Baichuan did not take him seriously at all before.
What kind of storm could a small warlord with only a few thousand people cause?
But now, there were tens of thousands of people.
A few thousand people, he really didn't care. He could still gather them in the area.
But tens of thousands of people, this was not easy to deal with.
