At the beginning of May 1922, in the coalition government conference room, Su Zhenze once again solemnly convened the coalition government's military and political conference. The main topic of the meeting was to discuss the battle plan to unify Northeast Gan and the domestic situation.
On the 28th of last month, which was a few days ago, Zhang Yuting of the Feng family took over as the commander-in-chief. She set up her headquarters in Luofa and led 120,000 soldiers to launch a general attack until the war broke out.
This war between the direct and Feng lineages, which were fighting for control of Beijing, could be said to be a war that involved the confrontation between the north and south of China and determined the ruling rights of the Central Plains. Su Zhenze, who was familiar with history, naturally knew that this war would eventually end with the victory of the direct line. The coalition government that he had established now belonged to the direct line of warlords. This war basically had nothing to do with him!
The main battle area was in the north, outside the pass. Even if they wanted to fight, they wouldn't be able to reach Jiangxi Province. The topic of Su Zhenze's meeting now was whether they would establish an autonomous coalition government after defeating Yang Zhanshan and Wang Yu Feng, or would they be like now, nominally obeying the Jiangxi Province's military governor, but in reality, they would be autonomous.
Everyone was arguing, especially the military and political circles. The military had always thought of problems from a military perspective. The first thing they thought of when they encountered a problem was to fight a battle to solve it. This time, they thought the same. They had already taken Gan Dongbei, but they still wanted to send a message to the Nanchang Military Governor's Office to surrender. Were the people in the government stupid from studying? If it really didn't work, then he would just fight again!
Although the people in the government departments did not have the same views, most of them were more inclined to be inexperienced and needed to endure for the time being. A moment of glory was nothing! Anyway, they believed that the final victory would be theirs!
The final decision was still in Su Zhenze's hands. Su Zhenze thought about the military's opinion. Well, it was definitely not possible to fight head-on. He knew the outcome of this war. Naturally, he knew that after the temporary victory of the direct line, their prestige would definitely increase in a short period of time! He was in Jiangxi Province, one of the few places where he had made his fortune. Yet, he was still so dishonest. It was fine if he had taken down Shang Rao, but now he wanted to establish an independent military government. What were you trying to do? This was like shooting the bird that stuck out!
As for the political opinion, it was very feasible for him. It was just sending a message to the Nanchang Military Governor's Office in name. It might even make the Military Governor's Office acknowledge the fact that he had unified the northeast of Gan Province and let him be the new Guardian of Shang Rao, becoming a true warlord! However, to Su Zhenze, he did not care about these external fame and benefits! As long as it was beneficial to his long-term development and could save more people from the flames of war, so what if he had to bear these things?
Soon, Su Zhenze, who had thought it through, made the final decision." After occupying Wei Yuan and Shang Rao, we will still be loyal in name, but in reality, we will be an independent government! There's no need to discuss this matter anymore!"
Seeing that Su Zhenze, their spiritual and idealistic leader, had already made his decision, everyone shut their mouths and chose to believe in his decision.
" Very good. Next, I will read out the battle plan for Wei Yuan and Shang Rao."
"Everyone, please rise. Let the supreme leader speak!”
Seeing that Wang Yongxiang had experienced this situation many times, he naturally took the lead and spoke up.
bang
The sound of palms touching the seams of their pants rang out in unison. Everyone stood up solemnly, ready to listen to their leader's arrangements.
"Now, I, Su Zhenze, as the highest military and political officer of the Northeast Jiangxi Coalition Government, have ordered that from today onwards, we will immediately carry out the battle plan to unify Northeast Jiangxi…"
"This plan will be based on a two-pronged battle. Surixi and Wang Yongxiang will be the commander-in-chief of the northern and western armies respectively. Now, I will formulate the battle plan separately ~"
" Firstly, for the northern troops, Su Ruixi will be the commander. He will lead the 2nd, 4th, and 8th Artillery Regiment to form the northern troops. They will go straight into Weiyuan, then west into Jingde Town and Lekai County. After that, they will split their forces north to Pohu County to defend Jiujiang, and south to Hunian County and Huigan County to defend Nanchang and Fuzhou…"
" Secondly, Wang Yongxiang will be the commander-in-chief of the west army. He will lead the 1st Regiment, 5th Regiment, and 7th Artillery Regiment to form the west army. They will set off from Yushan and attack Shangrao County with their superior forces. Then, they will quickly gather their forces and continue to march west into Kaifeng County, Paishan County, and Guyang County. Then, they will send troops to attack Yingtan County and Xiajiang County while defending Fuzhou…"
" Thirdly, Zhang Dahai's 3rd Regiment will stay in Feng County to defend Zhejiang and the Anhui-related warlords in Fujian…"
"Finally, I want to emphasize one more point. This operation must be done quickly. Later on, all the detailed maps of the enemy's military deployment and terrain will be handed over to your respective commanders! I believe that this plan will be a great success. I'll be waiting for your good news here!”
All the officers were boiling with excitement. This battle was the biggest battle that Su Zhenze had ever fought since he had formed the army. They were going to fight to the northwest to Jiujiang, then to the west to Nanchang and Fuzhou. They were going to take down one-third of the entire Jiangxi Province! If they were to fight, how many battles would they have to fight, how many military achievements would they have to accumulate, and how many officials would they have to be promoted to!
All of them were rubbing their hands together, eager to give it a try, especially the commanders of one of the two main directions, Su Ruixi and Wang Yongxiang. Their faces were filled with fanaticism. He had been studying the military attack plan of Wei Yuan and Shang Rao for a long time.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that with the heavy firepower of the People's Army, they would be able to conquer the counties around Shang Rao very quickly.
As for Wei Yuan, after experiencing the siege of Jiujiang and Shangrao, his forces were relatively scattered on the border of Jiujiang and Shangrao for defense. He could not conquer them in one battle like Shangrao. At the same time, due to the long and narrow terrain, they could only constantly move and annihilate one by one. Their flexibility was very high!
Su Ruixi had thoroughly studied these two battlefields. It didn't matter to him where he went. However, he still preferred a more mobile annihilation battle. It was flexible enough and had a variety of tactics. It was very suitable for him. As for the area in Jing D Town that didn't belong to Wei Yuan, Su Ruixi felt that it was a bunch of mud. She could casually send a battalion to destroy the forces in that area!
Compared to Su Ruixi's fanatical expression, Wang Yongxiang, the other commander-in-chief, was much calmer. He had the air of a general who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed. He seemed to have already had a plan in mind. Su Zhenze nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.
After announcing the military operation, Su Zhenze once again told his chief of government affairs, Chen Huayuan, to pay attention to sending government officials to stabilize the operation of the government and issue new policies that benefit the people after the army took down a county. At the same time, Su Zhenze also instructed his Military Intelligence Bureau to transmit the enemy's internal information in a timely manner to ensure that everything went smoothly! In the end, Su Zhenze checked the time and confirmed the time of the general attack. Then, he dismissed the meeting.
From then on, a war to unify the entire northeast of Ganbei was imminent. The war affected more than 50,000 square kilometers of land in Jiangxi Province, with a population of more than seven million, accounting for about one-third of Jiangxi Province's area and one-fourth of its population.
A storm swept through the entire Jiangxi, starting from Xingtong, Yushan, and Guangfeng. It shocked all the factions in Jiangxi. Su Zhenze also began to enter the sights of the real big shots in China for the first time from the three counties!
Su Zhenze had completely walked onto the stage of history!
