Chapter 562 Layout Westward
However, Zhang Gucheng did not say where his troops were stationed. But that website obviously Chuan Gonglan put his interest in it, and it seemed that he was not interested in these military affairs.
"So, aren't you in a hurry to leave? In this way, we might as well find a tavern and reminisce about the old days Deng Gang pointed to a tavern on the side of the road.
Zhang Licheng smiled faintly and said, "Now? No, now. The President told me yesterday that I would go to the Commander Hall tonight and discuss important matters.
Now that it’s getting dark, I have to hurry over.”
"So, let's get together again in the evening? How about nine o'clock? Let's meet at Brother Yang's mansion, how about?" Deng Gang said.
"Okay, that's all. However, I don't know when I will leave the Commander Hall, I'm afraid you will wait too late."
Zhang Licheng was honest and could not refuse. Although he had no personal relationship with Deng.com, Yang Wangpeng was kind to him. If Yang Wangpeng had not introduced him to join the Qunzhi Academy, he would not have achieved what he has today. He would have to pay back this favor. Although there is really nothing to give to Yang Wangpeng, these few words of thanks are indispensable.
"Brother Yang and I have been very idle recently. Not to mention waiting for you until late at night, we won't mind even if we wait until dawn."
The net smiled rare, and Zhang Licheng smiled faintly, and then said goodbye.
Zhang Licheng did not fight Deng Cai, haha, he really needed to go to the Presidential Palace. The president did want to meet him at the Commander Hall. Of course, Zhang Licheng did not go to the Commander Hall alone to meet the President. He also photographed senior officers such as Wen Mok, Pan Kangshi, Yang Banghan, and Ji Yushuang.
These generals of the National Defense Forces had supper at the guesthouse of the 6th Army, then changed into military uniforms, got into the car of the 6th Army, and entered the Presidential Palace in high spirits and rushed to the Commander Hall to visit the president.
When he arrived at the Commander Hall, an adjutant arranged a few people to wait in a reception room, and took a few documents to everyone to read. These documents were all about eliminating local powerful people in the northwest provinces, some were literary attacks and some were martial attacks. In short, there was no possibility of change in the strategy of the central westward advance this time, and any stumbling block that blocked the progress of history would be ruthlessly kicked away.
The main topic of this Nanyuan Military Conference was the military arrangements for advancing westward. Since this plan involved the entire strategic arrangement of the center, it was necessary to solve the problem in the shortest time, strive to completely control Gansu and Qinghai within two months, and wait for an opportunity to march into Xinjiang.
Now, Zhang Licheng's Yushi's Yushi's command, Zhuoshihe, Mishihe, Ji Yushuang's command, Old Division, Oral Division, Pan Kang's command, Henan, Yang Banghan's cavalry brigade was stationed in Simon area. Judging from this stationing situation, once the center has to use force to solve the problem, then Paiwen's troops will act as vanguards, and the reason why his troops are stationed so dense is precisely for this purpose.
According to the march plan formulated by the Central Army and the 6th Army and the Joint Staff of the 6th Navy, once the troops of Pai Wen Mok move, the other troops will also be departed at the same time. Ji Yushuang's troops will move from Shaanxi to Gannan and Gandong to support Pai Wen Mok's troops. Pan Kangshi's round division will be transferred from Henan to Shaanxi to serve as a defender for the westward troops. At the same time, the Yang Banghan Cavalry Brigade stationed in the Simon area will also detour towards the Ganxi area to cover the flank of Pai Wen Mok's troops. As for Zhang Licheng's Fourth Division, it will advance from Tibet to the north at the same time, and advance from south to north, attack from north to south with Pai Wen Mok's troops in the north to prevent Gansu and Qinghai from defeating the remnants of the Ma family forces in Qinghai from dispersing to the south, and Yang Banghan's cavalry brigade also undertakes similar tasks, but their interception direction is the west.
This is a carefully formulated combat plan. Once implemented, it will be a thunderous momentum. With the power of the Qingma and Ningma, it does have a sense of a spider-crab shaking a tree. The current National Welfare Army has a combat power that is no longer comparable to the previous Republican Army. It can be seen from the update of weapons and equipment that among the front-line troops that implement this combat plan, only Zhang Licheng's fourth division is the B Division, and the other troops are all A Divisions. The combat power is absolutely not comparable to that of the Ma family armed forces who can only equip rifles and old cannons. What's more, there are aviation troops to assist in this battle, and the participating troops can completely kill chickens.
Of course, the means of military attack are only the best choice, and the strategy of civil attack is the best choice. The so-called "subjugating the army without fighting" is the highest level of military strategy. Swimming war will destroy the peace and will also give some politicians the excuse to attack the center. After all, this is a civil war, coupled with the special local customs and customs, simple force resolution will lead to some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, considering the stability of the domestic situation, the center has officially conveyed the strong determination of the center to the local powerful figures in Gansu, Qinghai and other regions through some channels to local powerful figures in Gansu, Qinghai and other regions to strong people in the northwest, and emphasized that the strategy of the central forces' westward advance will never change, and as long as local forces are willing to obey the center, their economic interests can be well protected. As long as those local powerful people are not fools or lunatics, they should be able to accept the power "redemption" plan of the center.
However, considering that Tsarist Russia has always been "interested" in these areas, the literary attack may not be smooth sailing, and once it is really necessary to use force to solve the problem, then the harsh wording that the center will be completely born in the combat plan can be briefly understood.
Zhang Licheng quickly finished the document in his hand, which was about the update of the equipment of the feather division. According to the document description, after this change of equipment, the firepower level of the evil division will be consistent with that of the A-type division. Only the military pay will remain unchanged for the time being. Once the plan to advance westward and is successfully completed, the Fourth Division will be officially reorganized into the A-type division, and the personnel will make necessary adjustments to further strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops. After that, the division will use Jiayuguan as its base. In the future, the Longhai Railway will also extend to Jiayuguan to ensure the logistics supply of the troops.
Zhang Licheng was very satisfied with this plan. After staying in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a long time, he was indeed a little depressed. The officers and soldiers of the army also had some opinions. Perhaps it was good to go to Jiayuguan to eat sand, at least you would not have to endure the pain of altitude sickness anymore. However, after the prisoner moved to the defense, who would take over the defense in the Qinghai-Tibet region? This was not mentioned in this document, and Zhang Licheng did not intend to inquire deliberately.
Of course, the prisoners are stationed on the plateau, and transporting those heavy equipment is not an easy task. From Tibet to Qinghai, the road is plateau and mountains, and there is no shortcut to go. They can only rely on mules, horses, yaks, and even the footboards of soldiers. Considering the harsh local climate, civilians who follow the army are indispensable. As for how many civilians should be recruited, Zhang Licheng has begun to think about it now.
Before Zhang Licheng could calculate the private labor force that he needed to be recruited, he heard a command from the door of the reception room.
"Standing attentively! Salute".
At the command of the adjutant, everyone in the reception room stood up like a reflex and stood attentively, without any ambiguity.
A figure flashed at the door of the reception room. President Zhao Bei of the Republic of China walked into the reception room. He was also wearing a military uniform and had a strong arm. There were several people following him, all of whom were senior officers, Wu Zhenhan, Zhang Qiyang, Lan Tianwei, Jiang Fangzhen, and Zhang Xiaozhun, all of whom were the president's right-hand man, and an important figure in the National Defense Forces, and an important guarantee for the president and the United Front to maintain their power.
"A little rest
The president saluted everyone, shook hands and greeted the front-line generals one by one, and quickly got to the point.
"Everyone, please come here today, for the sake of moving westward. At yesterday's meeting, we had carefully discussed and studied this issue and reached a consensus on the advance plan of the Central Committee and the 6th Army. Now, we can complete the final advance plan. Once the plan is finalized, it will not be easy to change it in the future. It will move your whole body. Therefore, I hope you can take every word we say here seriously.
As soon as Zong Di finished speaking, an adjutant took a step forward, took a document and read it loudly.
"The Commander-in-Chief decided to form a Western Advance Corps. The corps sequence is as follows: the "Ordinary Division of the National Defense Forces, the "Teacher Division" of the National Defense Forces, the "Teacher Division" of the National Defense Forces, and the commander of the "Teacher" of the Legion, and the "Teacher" of the Legion, and the "Teacher" of the Legion, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Legion, the Chief of Staff of the Legion, Zhang Xiaozhun, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Pan Kangshi."
The arrangement of the Commander-in-Chief Hall is basically the same as the advance plan, but it has made a little adjustment to the aviation corps, reducing the number of fighter jets and increasing the number of bombers. This is understandable that the current Northwest Ma family forces do not have aircraft at all, and bombers can solve the problem by relying solely on bombers.
When the order was issued, Zhang Licheng, Yang Banghan and others were eager to try. Although the president gave them two days off, they now wanted to rush back to the military base and mobilize the troops as soon as possible. Once the central military order was issued, the troops could set off immediately and strive to resolve the local forces in the northwest as soon as possible.
The president was happy to approve their request, but considering their safety, except for Zhang Licheng, several others will take a special train to return to the army.
Yang Banghan, Ji Yushuang, took Wen Mok to leave first, but Zhang Licheng pulled Pan Kangshi and stayed in the reception room for a few more minutes because he had something to discuss with the president.
"Commander-in-Chief, on the way here just now, I met Deng. He invited me to visit the House of Councillor Yang tonight, wanting to talk to me about the past and have some wine. Look, will I go or not?" Zhang Licheng asked the President.
Zhao Bei was a little surprised and said, "I have to do this for you, and you can't make up your own mind?"
When Zhang Licheng pointed to Pan Ji, he said, "I originally planned to go there like this, but when I talked about this with Commander Pan just now, he asked me to talk to the commander-in-chief first.
When Zhao Bei looked at Pan Kang, he smiled and said, "Character, you are a careful person. If you didn't remind Mr. Zhang like this, I would have almost forgotten that you are also a revolutionary soldier from the Qunzhi Academy. It just so happened that I hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time. Now I'd just go to you to see Brother Yang. Speaking of which, if there were no Qunzhi Academy, this revolution might not have been able to move at all. Qunzhi Academy made great contributions to the revolution. Four tigers, let's arrange it, let's go to Mr. Yang Wangpeng's place."
