(TV series "The Great Twist")
In the Central Plains War, the Central Military Air Force deterred the anti-Chiang Kai-shek coalition forces, thus achieving the goal of psychologically shaking and disintegrating the other side. With the support of the Air Force, the Third Army of the Central Army also made progress in ground operations, not only completely occupying Xuchang Station, but also forming a semi-encirclement posture of Xuchang City. The Xuchang defenders were very panicked, and Feng Yuxiang heard the news and hurried to Xuchang to inspect it again in order to calm the hearts of the army, and at the same time, Sun Lianzhong, Zhang Zizhong, and other troops from the Longhai line were drawn to help Xuchang.
The Third Army attacked Xuchang, which contained the Northwest Army and played a great role in changing the situation in the entire Central Plains battlefield. The Jin army believed that Feng Yuxiang's withdrawal of troops from Longhai was an out-and-out defeat: "It is a pity that Feng Yuxiang did not distinguish between priorities and priorities, taking care of both east and west, and lost the chance of winning the main battle on the Longhai side. ”
Unlike Feng Yuxiang, who took care of both east and west, Chiang Kai-shek always put Long Hai above Pinghan. In addition to drawing reinforcements from the Pinghan Line, he also added all the troops such as the Teaching Instructor (including the Teaching Division, the Teaching Second Division, and the Teaching Third Division), which enabled the Central Army to finally stabilize its position, and the Longhai Battlefield once again formed a confrontational trend.
At the same time as the Northwest Army increased its troops on the Pinghan Line, Zhang Gui's army in the south cooperated closely and attacked Hunan.
In the later stages of the Jiang-Gui War, he Jian, the "King of Hunan", attached himself to Jiang Gui and wanted to fight an autumn wind in Guangxi, but in the end he was killed and defeated. From then on, He Jian knew that the Gui army was not easy to mess with, so he began to step on two boats again, secretly associating with the new Gui clan.
Chiang Kai-shek was very angry when he found out. One day, he called Zhang Muxian, director of He Jian's Office in Beijing, over and asked him to take out a telegram for Zhang Muxian to see.
Zhang Muxian took a look at it, and it turned out to be a telegram that He Jian had taken to Li and Bai. Before he could finish reading it, Chiang Kai-shek was already indignant and scolded: "Yunqiao (He Jian) is secretly mischief-mongering, and the central authorities have intercepted the telegrams he sent to Li and Bai, so don't think I don't know." You tell Yunqiao to let him understand! ”
Zhang Muxian was frightened and silent. After a few minutes, seeing that Chiang Kai-shek's face had eased slightly, he explained to his own master that "Chairman He" was in a difficult situation and had to deal with Li, Bai Xuan, and Wei Snake, and said that if he Jian's relations with Li and Bai became too rigid, "they (referring to Li and Bai) would collude with the bandits in the border areas, make trouble from them, and cause trouble in vain."
After hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek did not say anything else.
Upon receiving Zhang Muxian's telegram, He Jian was deeply disturbed, so he took advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's arrival in Wuhan and personally went to Han to pay tribute to Chiang Kai-shek. This time, in addition to reporting on the military and political situation in Hunan, he also elaborated in detail that Hunan was located at the gateway of Guangdong and Guangdong, and that he could only deal with it flexibly, but he never wavered in support of the central authorities.
Chiang Kai-shek was also afraid of forcing He Jian to be anxious, and really ran to the side of Li and Bai, and Bento expressed his understanding in the face of He Jian and agreed that he would "deal with it flexibly."
Since then, He Jian has stopped hiding in contact with the New Gui clan. He was smug about this, and often said to people: "I am in contact with the southwest and support the central government." ”
However, when it came to the Central Plains War, He Jian could not get up, and Zhang Guijun's invasion of Hunan was equivalent to forcing him to express his position: Whether you are in contact with the southwest or support the central government, you can only choose one of the two!
