Chapter VI Decision Making

"You really believe his words?"

Liu Jingxiao nodded, shook her head again, and finally said, "I really don't know!"

Liu Jingxiao, who is good at calculating everything, really can't figure out this problem. Chen Xiuting looked at Liu Jingxiao's pale face with a few more rosy texture. Suddenly, her hand had already clamped Liu Jingxiao's ears and said loudly: "Your illness has not been cured yet... I don't allow you to go!"

Liu Jingxiao still had a faint smile on her face. He turned his head and said to Chen Xiuting, "I have to go... What's the point of my bet?"

His voice was not loud, and he was still smiling, but his eyes were full of determination. Chen Xiuting knew that she could not hold him back, so she could only sigh.

"Guide?"

Everyone had a question, and Liu Jingxiao continued: "According to Zhang Buyun, in order to enter Shandong, Henan accumulated a large amount of ammunition and military supplies in Guidetun..."

After slowing down, Liu Jingxiao said again: "His advice to me is to go forward to Guide and take the lead..."

Since he finished speaking, the first question was Xiao Rulang. He asked: "How credible is this information? What if he went through a lot of hardships but only took down an empty city? Besides, Zhang Buyun is so kind-hearted? I still can't forget the anger he suffered outside the pass..."

This is equivalent to igniting the unfairness in everyone's hearts. Chen Ce also said: "Teacher, be careful!"

This small conference room was filled with the highest-level cadres of the 17th Division. Even the commanders of Sima Kan and other regiments were not qualified to attend the meeting. Although the young company commander Bai Siwen heard the news, he could only talk in his memoirs about how he heard Liu Jingxiao's wise instructions. Finally, he also put forward different opinions with independent opinions. Since Commander Liu has always been good at listening to his wise opinions and ruled out the conquest of the leader of the cavalry regiment, this plan to attack Guide was actually proposed by Bai Siwen.

But the facts were completely different, Liu Jingxiao still smiled faintly: "I have made a decision! I'm ready to lead the main force to attack Guide..."

For a moment, the house was shocked, and several brigade commanders stood up in shock and said repeatedly: "Teacher, we have to make a long-term plan..."

It concerns the fate of the 17th Division. Before the Hubei army entered Shandong in large numbers, it led the army to invade Henan. Moreover, this battle was completely different from before. In the past, the 17th Division was fighting in its own base area. The enemy came from afar, and the ammunition and food supply were not maintained. Now it was about to turn it upside down. At this time, Liu Jingxiao gave Xiong Xi a wink.

Section Chief Xiong immediately understood and interrupted, "I'll say a few words..."

"Li Dingyuan has bad intentions for us?" After hearing Section Chief Xiong's statement, everyone was shocked. The 17th Division of Haizhou was always regarded as a friendly army. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be recognizable. Section Chief Xiong continued: "Since the Central Committee expressed its intention to send troops, Li Dingyuan mobilized considerable troops from the front line... Now there is a mixed regiment of troops placed on the edge of Haizhou, and I am ready to watch the show!"

Xiao Maxiong, who was qualified to attend the meeting after Xiao Rulang asked for instructions, looked at Section Chief Xiong with a suspicious look for a long time, and asked again: "This information"

However, Chen Fangren was very smart and quickly figured it out: "Haizhou's territory is too small. It seems that he wants to occupy more territory... This dark-hearted Li Dingyuan is talking about cooperation!"

Liu Jingxiao said again: "Don't forget that Jiangsu has placed 100 infantry companies on the border. If the Hubei army comes to help, will they just watch the show? Section Chief Xiong, as far as your information is concerned, how many troops do they have?"

Xiong Xi counted the troops one by one: "The provincial army's strength statistics table has 120,000. Of course, this number cannot be counted, but half of it is always there, that is more than 60,000. The Hubei army coming to aid is about 75,000. Of course, this number does not include Yang Linji's new second division in Shaanxi, which has 30,000 people..."

Thirty thousand? What a perverted provincial military advisor, Liu Jingxiao's 17th Division is the number of the Central Division, and has been privately expanded into four infantry brigades. However, the 17th Division does not include Xiao Maxiong's security forces and local troops, which is the organization of 24,000 people. While everyone was still sighing, Section Chief Xiong's next sentence shocked everyone: "But the equipment of this division is too poor. According to current information, there are about 30,000 guns, only a few two-pound cannons, and most of the soldiers are bare hands..."

These are all messy troops. Even Liu Jingxiao couldn't figure out Yang Linji. Section Chief Xiong continued: "But be careful, the characteristic of the Shaanxi Army is to rush up and grab the gun when the war begins... The army still has considerable combat power..."

Finally, Section Chief Xiong made a summary: "Yang Linji has not many troops on our side, which is only 250,600, and Tian Zhiming has 30,000... However, considering the subsequent troops invested, the provincial, Hubei, Soviet, and Haizhou troops should be 200,000..."

Everyone understood Liu Jingxiao's intention, that is, once the Hubei army officially joined the war, the 17th Division, which had only more than 30,000 troops, would never be able to withstand it. Peace enthusiasts like Tian Zhiming and Li Dingyuan would definitely jump out to get a bargain.

Liu Jingxiao said again: "Skinny, tell me about our financial situation..."

Shen Xianqiao held a small notebook in her hand and sat next to Guo Junqing. At this time, she put down the notebook and said, "In order to ensure military expenditure this month, she has issued an additional 400,000 yuan in Shandong coins..."

Li Heyi said: "It's a good thing to issue additional issuance... I still have a lot of expenses in my hands and I don't know how to reimburse it..."

But the rest of the people started to speak idlely, and Xiao Rulang asked: "Secretary Shen, our army has only more than 30,000 people, and the army now only requires guaranteed supply. How can the expenditure be so large?"

Since the war started, Liu Jingxiao's troops also had a owed salary. Shen Xianqiao only guaranteed that the troops had food, clothing and ammunition. The wounded soldiers' rewards for the death of the battle were guaranteed to provide the supply of the burning and burning pensions. The rest of the reimbursement projects were cut. Now several brigade commanders have a lot of accounts in their hands. Because of this, Shen Xianqiao also made the accounts clear: "I'm not conquering Shandong South this time. I'm afraid this year will be sad. More than 30,000 officers and soldiers, more than 20,000 military soldiers, and the newly established arsenal, there will be at least 200,000 in a month. There are many fierce battles this month... There are naturally many casualties..."

In a mere southern Shandong area, Liu Jingxiao naturally needs to put in more anger. According to the official historians of later generations, "the mobilization level in southern Shandong area is extremely high." To put it bluntly, it is to plunder the people's wealth and ointment into the war for major events. Liu Jingxiao's plundering technique is several times better than Wang Ziqi. However, even so, it feels a bit difficult to support.

Liu Jingxiao said at this time: "According to the delicate estimate, with the current combat intensity, our funds and food preparations can last for one year. The key is ammunition..."

Chen Fangren, the deputy chief, reported the strength statistics: "Now the ammunition in our arsenal can only barely maintain the normal consumption of the troops. If we fight a battle like the previous annihilation of Long Wenmei, the small and small artillery shells alone would have to consume thousands of rounds. The production of the arsenal was useless. Now the Shen family is carrying out a large-scale blockade at sea, and only the batch of ammunition came in the previous Taiwan, but the consumption was too high since the war started. The ammunition was carried out by the troops, one light and two heavy. The rear warehouse had four bases. What we worry most now is the artillery shells of mountain dutch and naval howitzer. Each gun has less than ten rounds of shells. Our arsenal cannot make this thing, and there are no seizures in the seized products, and the Taiwan side does not sell them... But we have two battalions of these two types of artillery. If we shoot them, I am afraid that the cannons will not be rolled into scrap iron..."
