Yan Xishan's doomsday

The Northeast Army surrendered to the National Defense Forces, and the news spread with the radio waves, some were angry and some were happy.

The happy people were not surprised that Li Guosheng, the leader of the war. In less than ten days of raid, the National Defense Force not only allowed the National Defense Force to obtain more than 100,000 Northeast Army soldiers out of thin air, but also allowed the National Defense Force to obtain the territory of the two provinces, especially the cities of Peiping and Tianjin, which have a certain economic foundation. In addition, another benefit obtained by the National Defense Force is the tens of millions of people owned by the two provinces and the large amount of mineral resources buried on the ground of the two provinces.

If there are happy people, of course there will be angry people. As the actual controller of more than 100,000 Northeast Army, Lao Jiang, after learning that more than 100,000 Northeast Army had all joined the National Defense Force, the things in the entire office were almost ruined by the angry Chiang. As the supreme ruler of the Nanjing central government, Lao Jiang was already full of fear of the National Defense Force with millions of troops. However, this military operation in front of him, which was originally intended to increase the strength and territory of the Central Army, was in vain for his opponents. Not only did the National Defense Force increase more than 100,000 troops out of thin air, but also allowed the National Defense Force to increase the territory of two provinces. But he, at least he has not obtained anything so far, and he also lost more than 100,000 Northeast Army and tens of thousands of elite Central Army soldiers on the battlefield in Shanxi. It can be called "a snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains profit."

However, since the incident has happened, all Lao Chiang can do is to swallow this evil result. However, Lao Chiang, who has always been vindictive, does not intend to end the battle initiated by himself in a hasty way. In Lao Chiang's eyes, since he has suffered heavy losses in front of the National Defense Army, the loss must be recovered from Yan Xishan.

So, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek regained his sanity, he sent a telegram to Chen Cheng, who was in charge of command on the front line, "take Shanxi at all costs." At the same time, the two subsequent main divisions of the Central Army also screamed and joined the battle in Shanxi, preparing to win a game on the Shanxi battlefield.

First, there were three main divisions, plus the current two main divisions, facing the attack of five main divisions of the Central Army at the same time. Yan Xishan, who was far away in Taiyuan, immediately felt a huge pressure. As a result, he directly sent the only heavy artillery brigade of the Jinsui Army to the front line to participate in the war.

Of course, what Yan Xishan is most worried about at this moment is not the increasingly tense battle situation in southern Shanxi, but the Northeast Army that has just obtained the two provinces and more than 100,000 troops.

In Yan Xishan's initial idea, the purpose of the National Defense Forces sending troops to North China was to rescue itself, so that the Northeastern army stationed in Hebei and other places could not threaten the security of its northern Shanxi, and thus allow itself to draw out more elite troops of the Shanxi-Sui army to join the battle in southern Shanxi. Repel the offensive of the Nanjing Central Government Army as soon as possible and end the battle.

If the National Defense Force wants to swallow more than 100,000 pieces of Northeast Army, it will definitely not be completed in a few months. A few months later, Yan Xishan conservatively estimated that the battle in southern Shanxi had ended. At that time, with the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and the National Defense Force had no reason to attack Shanxi Province, there would be no problem in allowing Shanxi to survive the disaster in front of him.

However, what Yan Xishan did not expect was that more than 100,000 elite troops in the Northeast Army and the land of the two provinces were swallowed up by the National Defense Forces in just seven or eight days, and the more than 100,000 elite troops of the Jinsui Army were commanded by him. The 100,000 elite troops of the Jinsui Army were still fighting the Central Army on the land of southern Shanxi. In the vast northern Shanxi region, less than 20,000 people were left to be responsible for public security. Yan Xishan could not imagine that if the National Defense Force was not satisfied with the results he had swallowed now, he continued to attack from Hebei to Shanxi. Just relying on the 20,000 troops scattered in southern Shanxi, could he hold back the attack of the National Defense Forces and wait for his return to aid.

Just as Yan Xishan was paced back and forth in the command center, Zhu Shouguang, chief of staff of the Jinsui Army, hurried to Yan Xishan and reported: "Chairman, you are so angry that you are still here. The front-line Central Army is like crazy to launch round after round of attacks on us. If it weren't for the heavy artillery brigade participating in the war in time, our front-line position might have been lost. For the future of Taiyuan and for the future of the Jinsui Army, please transfer the chairman to the rear immediately..."

Yan Xishan, who was anxious about the possible actions of the National Defense Forces in the future, did not reply immediately, but asked Zhu Shouguang in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, if I transfer our direct security regiment to you, how long will it take to end the battle in southern Shanxi and return to northern Shanxi..."

Zhu Shouguang frowned and asked subconsciously: "Chairman, is there something wrong with Jinbei..."

"Not yet... However, the time for the accident is not far away...." Yan Xishan said helplessly.

Seeing Zhu Shouguang's puzzled facial expression, a helpless sigh slowly came from Yan Xishan's mouth. After a brief contemplation, he explained: "I originally created a reason for entering the Northeast Defense Force. I originally wanted the National Defense Force to restrain the more than 100,000 Northeast Army in the north of our country. However, what I didn't expect was that more than 100,000 Northeast Army was so unbearable in front of the National Defense Force. Less than 100,000 Northeast Army had just entered the country's pass, and more than 100,000 Northeast Army had all joined the National Defense Force. The land and more than 100,000 people of Hebei and Chahar also fell into the hands of the National Defense Force."

"After the National Defense Forces occupied Hebei, I cannot guarantee whether they will meet the current results. If the land of the two provinces cannot fill the appetite of the National Defense Forces, then the National Defense Forces that have just occupied Hebei will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack and launch an attack on the northern Shanxi region where our troops are empty. You must know that in the vast Jinbei region, there are several large coal mines that the National Defense Forces urgently need..."

He once followed Yan Xishan to Shenyang to attend the National Defense Army parade. From the perspective of the soldiers, Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang, who was powerful in the National Defense Army, couldn't help but change his face and exclaimed at Yan Xishan: "Chairman, aren't you leading a wolf into the house... If the National Defense Army that occupied Hebei really plans to continue to move south, not to mention the 20,000 troops we left in northern Shanxi, even if we arrange more than 100,000 Shanxi-Suiwei troops to northern Shanxi, it is impossible to stop the national defense army's front."

"In the past, there were more than 100,000 Northeast Army blocking between us and the National Defense Forces, and we didn't need to face the National Defense Forces directly. But now... Chairman, I really don't know what to say... By the way, Chairman, in order to avoid the National Defense Forces discovering anything wrong with this reason and thus creating imports into Shanxi, you must wipe away all the traces left behind. Only in this way can we prevent the National Defense Force from entering Shanxi as much as possible."

The anxious expression on Yan Xishan's face did not change at all because of Zhu Shouguang's rhetoric. He answered anxiously at Zhu Shouguang: "Chief of Staff, it is for this consideration. I have transferred the headquarters guard regiment that made this reason to the forefront of the battlefield to avoid this dangerous period in front of me..."

Speaking of this, Yan Xishan changed his words and continued to speak: "Of course, we cannot completely pin our hopes on the reason why the National Defense Forces did not enter Jin. In military terms, we must also be prepared to be prepared to enter Jin at any time. Although the strength of the National Defense Forces has far surpassed Nanjing from some perspectives, it is possible for me to give up half of my life to Li Guosheng. I feel unwilling and dissatisfied from the bottom of my heart. I have to fight anyway."

Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang nodded with a deep understanding of the gods, quickly turned his gaze to the map hanging on the wall of the command center, and analyzed to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, as far as the current situation is concerned, the enemy and our forces on the battlefield in southern Jin Dynasty have reached a one-to-one state. The firepower is not much different. If Chairman, you can really bear the pain and give up. Drop the guard regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army to the front line, I will be sure to fight two annihilation battles on the battlefield in southern Jin Dynasty within a week, and wipe out a main division of the Central Army again. After all, the headquarters guard regiment not only has more than 2,000 elite veterans, but also is equipped with the only tank battalion, armored battalion, and heavy howitzer battalion in the entire army. So many heavy weapons suddenly appear on the battlefield, which can definitely give the Central Army a fatal blow."

Seeing the joy that quickly showed on Yan Xishan's face, Zhu Shouguang's words turned and continued to analyze: "Although we can wipe out a main division of the Central Army again in a short period of time, the strength of the Central Army is there after all. In addition to our losses in the battle, there is absolutely no victory or defeat in the battle situation in southern Shanxi without a month."

Yan Xishan's face was quickly covered by a hint of nervous expression from the heart. He asked Zhu Shouguang in a deep voice: 'In other words, even if the guard regiment is transferred to you, the battle in southern Jinnan will take at least one month to end... "

"Yes, Chairman..." Chief of Staff Zhu Shouguang replied calmly.

After transferring his most elite guard regiment, there was only one Taiyuan garrison division left in the entire Taiyuan city defense force. In addition to the 20,000 troops distributed in northern Shanxi, that is, except for the 100,000 troops on the southern Shanxi front, Yan Xishan had no mobile troops to be used to draw. It is certain that this can definitely be called an unprecedented gamble for Yan Xishan, both betting on his own future and the future of the Jinsui Army.

However, after a brief contemplation, Yan Xishan decided to implement the plan according to his pre-determined plan: first solve the central government army in southern Shanxi. In Yan Xishan's eyes, even if the National Defense Forces that had just occupied Hebei and Chahar were not satisfied with their results, they would first stabilize the two provinces and the more than 100,000 Northeast Army that had just joined him.

In addition, the National Defense Forces had no reason to send troops to Jin, so they could have delayed the National Defense Forces' entry into Jin as slowly as possible, and gave more than 100,000 Jinsui Army time to build the layout.

Thinking of this, Yan Xishan's face slowly returned to his previous firm expression and ordered to Zhu Shouguang: "Chief of Staff, I will leave the war in southern Shanxi to you... The guard regiment directly under the headquarters will come to report to you within three days. I hope that for the future of the Jinsui Army, you can win the battle in southern Shanxi as soon as possible, end the battle, and return to Taiyuan and northern Shanxi..."

"Please rest assured Chairman Yan, you gave me the position of Zhu Shouguang. Even for my future, I will end the battle in southern Shanxi as soon as possible, so that northern Shanxi can get rid of the dangerous situation of empty troops as soon as possible.

Although his idea is good, Yan Xishan, as a hero in the Republic of China, still far underestimated the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Force's long-distance raid and the National Defense Forces intelligence network that has extended to all corners of the country.

Just when the direct guard regiment of the Shanxi Sui Army was ordered to go to the front line, several guard regiment officers and soldiers who had participated in the night attack of coal mines and were visiting relatives suddenly disappeared in Taiyuan City.

In less than two days, several soldiers of the Jinsui Army Guard Regiment who were still in a state of confusion and terror appeared in Handan City, which had been occupied by the National Defense Force. Of course, the families of these people were also here with these Jinsui Army soldiers.

Seeing the terrified eyes of his family, these soldiers didn't even struggle at all. They just said the answer the National Defense Force wanted to know without missing a word.

Soon, a summary interrogation report was sent to the hands of Li Guosheng, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, via telegram.

After reading the telegram, a strong murderous aura quickly emanated from Li Guosheng and said to Jiang Baili in front of him with chilling chill: "Yan Xishan, who is a dog, can do anything for himself. Hundreds of lives have died at the hands of Yan Xishan. Now with this evidence, I see how Yan Xishan can still argue. I originally wanted to give Yan Xishan a governor Dangdang after occupying Shanxi. Now it seems that if I, Li Guosheng, shoot him in front of all the soldiers, would have given him face."

Compared with Li Guosheng's murderous aura, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili seemed much calmer and analyzed to Li Guosheng: "General, Yan Xishan can come up with such a plan to send troops, which shows his skill and insidiousness. I am worried that the result of the interrogation in front of me will not only not convince Yan Xishan, but also not even convince the people of the country. After all, the result of the interrogation in front of me is only revealed by a few lowest-level soldiers, and Yan Xishan can completely accuse us of fraud..."

Li Guosheng frowned, quickly restrained the strong murderous aura emitted from his body. He asked Jiang Baili in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, your opinion is..."

"Using the special forces team to find the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army who was operating that night, find a way to make the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army speak out, and admit that the fact that he was ordered to pretend that the Northeast Army was sneak attacking the coal mine of our defense force that night. I believe that even the beloved generals under Yan Xishan's command admitted this fact. No matter how much Yan Xishan quips, he has to admit..."

"As long as Yan Xishan is undeniable about this result, we can send troops to Shanxi based on the reasons of capturing all the sneak attackers, further swallowing the entire Shanxi and annihilate the Shanxi-Sui Army..."

Two days later, a staff officer in the Taiyuan Jinsui Army General Headquarters might have been nervous and didn't even knock on the door, and rushed into Yan Xishan's office directly. Seeing Yan Xishan suddenly looking at him, the staff officer holding the telegram quickly reported in fear and fear: "Report to Chairman Yan, the Chief of Staff Telegram. It is an expedited telegram..."

"Uh..." Yan Xishan, who was eager to know the latest battle situation in southern Shanxi, frowned and ordered loudly: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you send me a telegram..."

After saying that, before the staff member could react, he grabbed the telegram and started browsing.

"While the headquarters' guard regiment was directly under the marching, the commander of the guard regiment suddenly disappeared. At present, I have ordered the deputy commander of the guard regiment to temporarily serve as the commander of the guard regiment. At the same time, I ordered the guard regiment to suspend going to the front line and look for the commander of the guard regiment in the company and platoon... I guess that the sudden disappearance of the guard regiment must be related to the guard regiment's sneak attack on the defense army coal mine garrison battalion more than half a month ago. Therefore, I hope Chairman Yan will make relevant emergency preparations immediately..."

Yan Xishan's anxiety that had just calmed down became nervous again, and he roared with anger. Yes, it was anger... because the commander of the guard regiment he trusted most suddenly disappeared under the protection of thousands of elite troops. What does this mean? It means that the guard regiment he valued most did not have any effort in front of this unknown enemy.

Of course, this is not what makes Yan Xishan most worried. The commander of the guard regiment disappeared. If the commander of the guard regiment really fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces that he feared the most, then half a month ago, he ordered the troops to pretend to be the Northeast Army to attack the National Defense Force coal mines and would have been completely exposed. You must know that the commander of the Guard regiment was the direct commander of the military operation that night.

Thinking of the serious consequences that the sudden disappearance of the guard regiment might bring to him, the angry Yan Xishan quickly ordered: "Look for me immediately. If you want to see someone in your life, you want to see the corpse after death... No matter how much the price you pay, you have to find him out. Of course, if the commander of the Guard regiment Wang really falls into the hands of the National Defense Force, you must find a way to rescue me. If you really can't rescue..."

Speaking of this, a trace of murderous aura quickly emanated from Yan Xishan and continued to order the staff in front of him: "If you really can't rescue him, then just silence him. In a word, you must never let Captain Wang fall to the hands of the National Defense Forces alive."

"Yes, Chairman Yan..."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Shanxi Provincial Chairman Yan Xishan has been living in anxiety. While waiting for the frontline news, a clear code from Chenyang suddenly scared Yan Xishan for not having a meal for a whole day.

As this clear code power spread rapidly across the country, the senior military and political officials who could rank in Shanxi Province appeared collectively in Yan Xishan's office as if they had agreed. Then, as if they were collecting debts, they screamed and asked Yan Xishan in front of him about his doubts.

"Chairman, the power supply from the National Defense Forces is true..."

"Chairman Yan, the National Defense Forces are so damning. Even if we really attack their coal mines, we cannot ask us for so much compensation. Six hundred National Defense Forces soldiers, each with a pension of 50,000 oceans. The coal mines are suspended for one day to compensate Shandong Province for the economic losses caused by the shortage of coal. Not only that, we have to compensate the military expenses of the National Defense Forces sent troops to Hebei and Chahar. Do you know how much military expenses the National Defense Forces demanded from us in total? Two hundred million oceans. Did the bullets fired by the National Defense Forces in the war were made of gold. In less than ten days of fighting, they consumed 200 million oceans of military expenses..."
