The rebirth of the Republic of China

Chapter 85 Expeditionary Force Command

Communication is not a trivial matter, but to Lu Yihua, as long as he can give him time to explain clearly, it is not a major matter.At least now, Lu Yihua has been able to confirm that his life is not in danger.However, the bad news among the good news is that he failed to leave Chongqing in the end.

At that time, Lu Yihua tentatively mentioned that the military affairs in western Yunnan were busy, but before he could say anything, the principal Jiang interrupted him with a smile: "Don't worry about Jing'an, the Chongchun ability I sent to you But it's very strong, and the staff headquarters doesn't want to let anyone go. If I hadn't given the order, you wouldn't be able to dig the wall if you wanted to!"

With a chill in his heart, Lu Yihua said with a smile on his face, "Staff Jiang is indeed very good. I have rarely seen such an outstanding officer in the past two years."

"It's indeed less. By the way, does Jing An have any opinion on the situation in western Yunnan?"

"Zhong Bin has been the student's deputy for many years, and many things have been arranged before the student came, so there will be no trouble."

"That's good. You are my favorite student and you will never let me down."

Seeing the principal's satisfied smile, Lu Yihua's heart gradually cooled down.

Before coming here, he had guessed the situation he might encounter. Apart from being forced to go to court-martial, the best way was for him to come here first to see him, the principal.If he is given the opportunity to defend himself, Lu Yihua is very sure that he can turn the crisis into safety.

Zhao Rui's matter was just a moment of confusion. Many people must understand these things.After all, today's military command is best at handling small things as big things, and then infinitely magnifying the word "betrayal", and finally pulling people down.

This matter is easy to explain. A discerning person can tell who is right and who is wrong. What he was most worried about before was that the principal would listen to what others said and not give him a chance to defend himself.After all, in the past few years, because of his deliberate estrangement, the relationship between him and the principal is not only not as close as it was at this time in his previous life, but has even dropped a lot.

Now it seems that it is so.

If this continues, there is a [-]% chance that he will never be able to return to the front line.

Thinking of this, Lu Yihua was in a daze before he knew it, and he didn't even pay attention to the stop of the car that connected him.

Looking at the time, Mu Nong turned his head and looked at Cheng Heng. After a moment of hesitation, he took a step forward and reminded softly: "Commander Lu, the meeting is about to start. Do you think... get in the car first?"

Lu Yihua was startled for a while, then turned around to see Mu Nong and Cheng Heng's worried eyes, rubbed his eyebrows, and nodded to them with a smile: "Let's go." After speaking, he took the lead and got into a car that was already waiting at the door.

Mu Nong and Cheng Heng were the two young officers Lu Yihua met at the Huangshan mansion.

After ordering him to stay in Chongqing, his headmaster did not put him under house arrest as he had expected, and did not even control his personal freedom. In addition to not being able to leave Chongqing casually, he was even required to attend various combat deployment meetings.And, on the second day, he asked Mu Nong and Cheng Heng to be his assistants.

He didn't know if there was any intention of monitoring him, but Lu Yihua could tell that the professional level of his two juniors was really good.Although I was a little stiff when I first took over the job of assistant secretary, I got used to it in a short time.

Mu Nong and Cheng Heng graduated from Whampoa No. [-]. They worked very hard when they were in school. Although they got civil jobs for various reasons, their promotion speed was not much slower than military generals.You know, this is a troubled time, and a troubled time is the best era for warriors.As a civilian officer, his promotion speed can even be compared with that of a general, which is unusual.

"I haven't been to Whampoa for almost ten years."

Cheng Heng, who was driving, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to look back at Lu Yihua, but was told: "Drive carefully."

"Yes." Cheng Heng turned his gaze back to the front.I only heard Lu Yihua ask, "How is Huangpu doing now?"

"...not bad." Mu Nong was sorting out the information, Cheng Heng thought it over before giving a conservative answer.He was proud of being a child of Whampoa, but he didn't know what the senior would think.After all, after the Great Revolution, this senior had never set foot in Whampoa.

The events of that era were not far away from them, but they were not close to them either. These latecomers had no chance to witness, so they had no right to comment.However, these people would occasionally discuss in private, the era that the revolutionaries most yearned for, but was also the most painful.

Hearing Cheng Heng's answer, Lu Yihua smiled vaguely, then stopped talking, and shifted his gaze to the bustling street outside the car window.

Whampoa...

Even though things have changed for a long time now, and the partners who held the same belief went their separate ways in the past, Lu Yihua can still clearly recall those passionate and beautiful days.

——Jing An, the organization has entrusted me with the task of receiving you, so we have to catch up.

——Things back then... It was not peaceful anywhere, but we cannot deny that our program is stronger than yours.

——Don’t deny it, the current situation is the best proof, we have won, and the Jiang family dynasty is at the end of the day.

—By the way, this is not your home?Do you want to go in and have a look?

--go home?I can still decide on this, you go in and have a look, I will issue a certificate for you.

Lu Yihua recalled the days after he surrendered. Zhao Rui, who was with him all the way, handed him over to his old classmates in Huangpu, and then they passed by Miancheng.The old classmate who was already in a high position in the Communist Party went to help him with the application, and then he was accompanied by Liu Sheng to the old house that had been vacant at the beginning of the civil war.At this time, it has been classified as public property.

Thinking of this, he was a little dazed.The flames soaring into the sky gradually disappeared in his mind, and then the images that had been lingering in his mind disappeared in an instant, and the emotion that had troubled him from the beginning of his rebirth became weaker and weaker.In the end, as if the past was blown away by the wind, everything disappeared with the shattering of the picture, like a dream.

"However, having said that, there are many former classmates of Commander Lu in the Communist Party, right?" Cheng Heng asked for some reason.

"Where are the classmates?" Cheng Heng was stunned, and Lu Yihua smiled, "Those are all my friends."

Cheng Heng recovered after hearing the words, but stopped talking.Mu Nong, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front, was obviously not used to this, with a slightly startled expression on his face.Calmly looking away, Lu Yihua leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

Lu Yihua is very clear about the principal's purpose of putting Cheng Heng and Mu Nong by his side.This is an aboveboard surveillance, and the principal didn't want to hide it from him. When he went to the Huangshan mansion to report that day, he assigned him to him in front of him. On the surface, he came to be his assistant, but secretly. The task was to sort out all the documents that Lu Yihua came into contact with during his stay in Chongqing and report them.

This is normal, and Lu Yihua has nothing to complain about, at least his principal didn't impose an intelligence blockade on him, right?

The spacious conference room was already filled with more than half of the people. The moment Lu Yihua opened the door and walked in, the discussions in the room froze instantly.With a decent smile on his face, Lu Yihua stood at the door, looked around, nodded slightly, walked to his seat and sat down.

Since the Burmese counteroffensive has been put on the agenda, the Chongqing side started strategic deployment very early, but during Lu Yihua's stay in Chongqing, he participated in many meetings, large and small.

It was different from when he joined the army. At that time, both subordinates and subordinates could become close friends, and everyone joined the army with a revolutionary enthusiasm to serve the motherland. It is not like it is now. The situation is already the same, and the meeting room is still filled with The strong smell of power struggles.

Lu Yihua was very disgusted.

However, attending these meetings is already the principal's greatest tolerance for him, no matter what, it's better than doing nothing, no matter how disgusted Lu Yihua is, he will not be absent.

Those who once resented Lu Yihua's resolute non-politics, wanted to see Lu Yihua's jokes, but were confused by the actions of that Principal Jiang afterwards.After accepting Lu Yihua's military authority, he was still allowed to learn about the military. Although his military rank was still at lieutenant general, everyone understood that this was a real promotion.

This President Jiang really values ​​people from Whampoa.

"Jing'an served as the commander of the 11th Army Group not long ago, and all the previous arrangements were made by you. I think it must be more accurate than what we do here." The middle-aged officer who presided over the meeting stopped his movements, Looking at Lu Yihua with a smile, "About the deployment of the corps this time, the plan we discussed is to use the No.[-] Army as the main force of the attacking force. What does Jing An think?"

The general outline for the deployment of the national army has been almost established in the previous meeting.The biggest reason why Lu Yihua came to this meeting this time was the [-]th Army Group. When he was asked this way, he replied: "The previous plan was to deploy three armies each in western Yunnan and southern Yunnan, and one army in southern Guangxi. Responsible for guarding the border, and the defense of Kunming will be left to the two armies."

Seeing everyone nodding, Lu Yihua went on to say: "I am not in charge of matters concerning southern Yunnan and Kunming in southern Guangxi. Let me tell you about the situation in western Yunnan." After speaking, he signaled Mu Nong to distribute the materials he read in the car before. , When everyone got it, he said, "Everyone, please take a look."

In the general plan of the Military Command, three armies and one division are in charge of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and its occupied areas in western Yunnan. After taking Tengchong and Longling, some troops will be deployed to Myitkyina and other places. The main force attacked in the direction of Wanding Lashio.At the same time, the two armies will cooperate with the main force to attack the enemy along the bypass road of the Yunnan-Burma Railway and Cheli and Fohai Avenue.

For this counterattack, the higher-ups issued a death order, and they had great hopes.The general outline given by the military command was very detailed, and in addition to all aspects of military deployment, even logistics were taken into consideration.Lu Yihua didn't have many places to ask questions, so most of the materials he distributed were the local conditions and the actual strength of the [-]th Army that he sorted out when he was in Dali.

Time flies by in various important or boring meetings, and when everything is ready to be decided, it is already half a year later.

Sitting silently in the conference room, Lu Yihua did not make a sound for a long time.

The dim light slanted in from the window, and happened to fall on Lu Yihua's body, but avoided his face.

Cheng Heng happened to see this when he pushed the door and came in. The hand that pushed the door paused slightly, but he still walked in.

"Come here, the news has been confirmed. It was Director Li who reported to Chongqing at that time."

Lu Yihua tilted his head, and responded as if he just realized it after a while.Then, he asked, "What does the Li family say?"

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Heng said: "The Li family is having a funeral, so far no other news has come out. It's just that I heard that Miss Han passed out at the funeral, and the young master of the Li family is not very well."

Lu Yihua didn't speak, and Cheng Heng also fell silent.

Director Li in Cheng Heng's mouth is Lu Han's husband, Lu Yihua's eldest brother-in-law Li Huai, and the young master of the Li family is his little nephew.Cheng Heng still doesn't understand that it's obviously a family, and Lu Yihua is holding on to the current position. Even if he doesn't deliberately extend his hand to the officialdom, it will help Li Huai's career. Why does Director Li treat his uncle Brother made a move?

Half a year later, even Lu Yihua no longer paid attention to Zhao Rui's incident, and attributed it to the accident after Yu Fang's resignation, but never thought that it would be revealed half a year later.

A few days ago when Li Xiukai visited Lu Yihua, he personally revealed the identity of the person who betrayed Lu Yihua to him. Lu Yihua didn't believe it at first, but Li Xiukai really didn't need to lie to him.Lu Yihua asked someone to investigate, and the news was confirmed as he expected.Lu Yihua never expected that Li Huai would actually harbor hatred towards him.

This incident is ridiculous to say, but it actually happened. After all, Lu Yihua said to Cheng Heng: "Send someone to Li's house and ask Miss Han if she is willing to move out now. If so, contact her and Li. If you don't want to send it away, the young master of the family." He paused, then said, "That's fine."

Cheng Heng responded, and then asked: "Tonight, Commander Chen..."

"Say I'm sick." Lu Yihua interrupted him.

Cheng Heng obviously didn't expect him to be like this, and he was taken aback for a moment before he realized: "Yes."

Li Huai.

If it wasn't for this person, Lu Yihua thought, he would not have lost his military power on the front line in western Yunnan.However, if it wasn't for that incident, how could he have the opportunity to come here?Although he is not on the front line, his influence on the battle situation in this position is obviously greater than before.

In April of this year, he was ordered by his principal to set up the "Commander of the Expeditionary Force" in Chuxiong, Yunnan, and transferred Chen Cheng, the former commander of the Sixth Theater and chairman of the Hubei Provincial Government, as the commander of the expeditionary force.Lu Yihua, on the other hand, was appointed as the chief of staff for the first time, and was awarded the rank of general as an exception.
