Li Guosheng's strong trump card

After the battle, the troops participated in the war began to lead a large number of Northern Expedition officers and soldiers, their own wounded soldiers, and their blood volumes captured... and appeared in a mighty manner outside Gaomi City and assembled at Gaomi City, where the division command was located.

Although Li Guanghua, deputy commander of the security division, did not participate in the entire battle, the huge results achieved in the entire battle were so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

"Deputy Division Commander, this is the latest result of the Second Guard Regiment and the Third Regiment just delivered..." A staff officer walked into the command center with a list and reported excitedly.

"Read...Staff Officer Wang, you have to remember to do a statistic..." Li Guanghua, who looked expectant, spoke directly.

"Yes..." The naming combat staff spoke to the list in his hand.

"The Second Guard Regiment reported that in the next active attack, a total of 3,165 officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were captured, including 2 colonel officers, 5 lieutenant colonel officers, and 17 major officers... All kinds of light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and 2,785 (plates). At present, these prisoners and captured have been escorted outside the city by the Second Regiment, waiting to be received..."

"The Third Guard Regiment reported that a total of 3,749 officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army were captured, including 3 colonel officers, 8 lieutenant colonel officers, and 18 major officers... All kinds of light and heavy machine guns and 3,279 rifles (plates) were seized..."

Less than half an hour after the report of the combat staff ended, another combat staff rushed in: "Deputy Division Commander, the latest battle report just reported by the Cavalry Regiment..."

"No need to report one by one, we will conduct a detailed statistics immediately. At the same time, the comrade's logistics department is ready to receive the captured and prisoners of war..." Li Guanghua waved his hand, stopped the staff who wanted to continue reporting, and ordered decisively.

One after another, and when the results were quickly in the statistics process, the figure of the division commander Li Guosheng finally appeared at the door of the war room.

"Master, you are back... The battle is over..." Deputy Commander Li Guanghua, who had a smile on his face, quickly greeted him and asked with a smile.

"It's over, and it's a complete end... Our old opponent, Commander-in-Chief Jiang. This time it can be said to be a crushing defeat. She was full of confidence. In the end, she only fled with more than 10,000 remaining soldiers and retreated to Weifang..." Commander Li Guosheng, in a good mood, answered directly.

"There are only more than 10,000 remaining soldiers... which means that there are very few people in the entire Northern Expedition Army who truly belong to Chiang Kai-shek... The division seat is a great opportunity for my security division to expand outward, threaten Chiang Kai-shek, and expand his territory and army..." Li Guanghua's eyes lit up and he suggested.

Li Guosheng nodded with praise and said, "Old Li, I mean that too... Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will kill Jiang Jiang once... But if I want to kill Jiang Jiang, we must have a strong trump card in our hands..."

"Although my guard division won the final victory in this decisive battle, my guard division also paid a very heavy price. More importantly, the continuous raids have made our troops very tired... Although the Northern Expedition Army commanded by Chiang Kai-shek suffered heavy losses, the non-direct troops still have a lot of combat power. And they also have very strict defenses around my guard division... Under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible to expand the existing territory of my guard division by relying on force."

"So, if we want to achieve our predetermined goal, take advantage of this opportunity to slaughter Lao Chiang and expand our security division's territory and army, there is only one way, that is, to use our strong trump card, use the current dilemma of Jiang Jiang, to make a deal with him, and get the victory we want..."

"Master, what's the trump card you said?" Looking at Commander Li Guosheng with a confident smile in front of him, Li Guanghua, who looked puzzled, asked directly without hesitation.

He took his old partner Li Guanghua back to his office, pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and signaled the other party to sit down and talk. Li Guosheng did not answer directly, but showed a mysterious smile. After a brief contemplation, he asked unexpectedly to Deputy Commander Li Guanghua in front of him.

"Old Li, what do you think is the biggest dilemma that our Commander-in-Chief Jiang is currently facing?"

"Our own direct troops... Although the Northern Expedition Army looks like a revolutionary army, in essence, this revolutionary army is still a unit that speaks by strength. In other words, in the entire Northern Expedition Army, whoever has the largest fist and whoever has the most troops in his hands will be the boss."

"In this decisive battle, Chiang Kai-shek lost 40,000 direct troops at one time. It is certain that Chiang Kai-shek's strength in the Northern Expedition Army will suffer huge losses. Without strong military strength to support it, it is almost impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to firmly take up the position of commander-in-chief. Therefore, if you want to ensure your position in the Northern Expedition Army and maintain your position as commander-in-chief. At this moment, the first dilemma that Chiang Kai-shek fell into is to restore the strength of his direct troops..." Li Guanghua replied thoughtfully.

"Lao Li, you are right, it's the army... Then, think about it. For Lao Chiang, if you want to expand his direct troops in a short period of time and not give his political enemies the chance to attack him, what is the most problem that Lao Chiang needs to solve now?" Li Guosheng nodded in agreement, and continued to ask with a hint tone.

"Soldiers, officers, equipment..." Li Guanghua said.

"In terms of soldiers, with the captives of several major wars of the Northern Expedition Army and the identity of Lao Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, there should be no big problem if we want to solve it."

"In terms of equipment... According to the latest information detected by the Intelligence Department, in order to destroy our security division, Chiang Kai-shek almost drained all the equipment and supplies he could draw. The more than 10,000 remaining soldiers brought back by Chiang Kai-shek could not even have a rifle, let alone expanding the 50,000 army at a time. Therefore, equipment should be considered a problem that Chiang Kai-shek needs to solve immediately, but it is very difficult to solve..."

"In terms of officers... As a direct army that truly belongs to Chiang Kai-shek, officers are undoubtedly the soul of the entire army. Although Chiang Kai-shek has continuously provided primary officers to him. However, these officers are difficult to achieve in terms of loyalty and combat experience. More importantly, there are almost no middle and senior officers in the entire army. Therefore, another dilemma and difficulty that Chiang Kai-shek needs to face is a group of middle and senior officers who are completely loyal to him..."

"Officers and equipment... You are right. The dilemma faced by the veteran is these two things..." The mysterious smile on Li Guosheng's face became even stronger, and he continued to speak with a strange look on his face.

"Although Lao Chiang is difficult to solve these two difficulties, even without them. However, we have them in our hands and we can help him solve them very easily. What I mean is to take these two things and make a deal with Lao Chiang in exchange for the territory and army that my guard division needs, especially a force organization that can establish a foothold in the entire country."

One day later, under the anxious waiting of the division commander Li Guosheng, the huge results achieved by the security division were finally completed under the organizational statistics of Deputy Division Commander Li Guanghua...

Looking at the unbelievable data in the report, although I was mentally prepared, Deputy Commander Li Guanghua was still shocked. At the same time, I had a deeper recognition of Li Guosheng's idea of ​​"making a deal with Chiang Kai-shek" a day ago.

Li Guanghua believes that with such a strong trump card on the list, his security guard has indeed mastered enough trump card that can make Chiang Kai-shek heartbroken and jealous. And this trump card can exchange for the territory and formal establishment that he needs most. Thinking of this, Li Guanghua walked quickly towards Li Guosheng's office with an excited expression...

"The teacher's seat, all the results have been counted... unexpectedly. It's simply unexpected..." Facing Li Guosheng's inquiring gaze, facing the shocking results in his hands. Because of the excitement, Li Guanghua, the deputy commander who seemed a little incoherent, stammered.

"Uh... what kind of battle results have made you, the deputy commander, excited. Please give me a look... Let me see if our battle results will make Lao Jiang feel heartbroken and jealous, and whether it can become a strong trump card for us to trade with Lao Jiang..." Before he knew the specific results, Li Guanghua was also full of expectations for the specific battle results and spoke.

I don't know if I don't look at it, I'm shocked...

Although it has long been clear that the number of police officers and soldiers captured by the garrison division in this decisive battle will be around 30,000. However, the specific number is: 31673. While Li Guosheng's face was shocked, it was also shrouded in a strong expression of excitement.

Especially among all the prisoners of war, a large number of captured senior officers of the Northern Expedition Army directly made Li Guosheng laugh.

"Old Li, I have long known about the captive Chief of Staff of General Staff of the Northern Expedition Army... However, among these prisoners, there were two division commanders, 5 deputy division commanders, 11 regiment-level officers, 29 regiment-level officers, 39 battalion-level officers, and 58 deputy battalion-level officers... Is this all true?" Li Guosheng asked.

"Teacher, the specific data of these officers have been counted after many verifications. There is absolutely no problem." Li Guanghua nodded and replied with a firm look on his face.

"So many middle and senior officers, just one reorganization can be enough to put on the airs of four main divisions in the shortest time... Four main divisions, Lao Li, I don't believe that Lao Jiang would not be moved by the middle and senior officers of the four main divisions, and the middle and senior officers who are completely loyal to him..." Li Guosheng said with a confident look on his face.

"If I don't have any words, Lao Jiang will definitely be moved... If I were Lao Jiang, even if I knew that giving me the territory of the security division was to expand the strength of my opponent. However, in the current difficulties I was facing, I would agree without mercy. After all, once I lost my military power and lost the position of commander-in-chief, even if I curb the development of my security division, he would not be able to wipe out my security division in the future..." With a strong trump card in hand, Deputy Commander Li Guanghua was full of confidence in this transaction. Followed closely and spoke.

After reading one of the trump cards in the report, Li Guosheng immediately turned his attention to another trump cards...

In order to wipe out his guard division at one time and for this decisive decisive battle, Chiang Kai-shek gathered all the equipment and supplies that had been fought for a month for 50,000 troops. All these equipment and supplies, without exception, fell into the hands of the guard division. What's more important is that because the power of the entire Northern Expedition Army was defeated, the equipment of the 50,000 troops, especially heavy equipment, almost all fell into his hands and became the capture of the entire guard division.

After statistics, only the direct troops of Chiang Kai-shek could have equipped the standard Mauser rifle. In the final battle, the security division seized 34,819 submachine guns... 815 submachine guns... 582 light machine guns... 198 heavy machine guns... 175 mortars... 39 mountain cannons...

Of course, among all the seized data, what made Li Guosheng most excited was that in addition to these equipment, the massive amount of ammunition and supplies were seized...

Especially after several consecutive bloody battles, the guard division has fought fewer and fewer mortar shells and mountain shells. The capture from Lao Chiang alone not only supplemented all the damage caused by the guard division's several battles, but also had a large amount of surplus, which is enough to support the guard division to experience several large-scale battles...

Seeing the commander Li Guosheng, facing the list in his hand, his hands seemed to be trembling because of excitement and said nothing. Li Guosheng, the deputy commander Li Guanghua, who looked at the amazing data on the list, spoke up after reading the amazing data on the list, was reluctant to take it out as the trump card for trading and negotiations with Lao Chiang.

"There are so many equipments in the master's seat, and they are all standard equipment that they can't buy in China immediately. Is it a bit... Isn't it a bit... I think it's better to keep these equipment for yourself. After all, our security guards also need to be expanded. If these equipment are left there, they will be able to be used sooner or later..."

Li Guosheng smiled and shook his head and said, "Old Li, in my mind, the future of my guard division must have a completely own military system, that is, it can make its own equipment. All troops and all equipment are equipment developed and produced by ourselves. So, whether these must be equipment or the Japanese equipment we seized before, they are all transitional equipment of my guard division, and it will definitely not take too long..."

"With my security division's current ability, expanding the troops to 50,000 is the biggest limit. Therefore, the equipment we need to leave is enough to equip the 50,000 troops. As for the remaining ones, even if they stay, they are still a pile of scrap iron. It's better to take them out and trade with the veteran in exchange for the territory my security division needs..."

"Fifty thousand people's equipment..." Li Guanghua then fell into deep thought...

One minute later, Deputy Division Commander Li Guanghua, who was silently calculating, said directly: "Teacher seat, according to statistics, the existing Japanese equipment in our hands can be enough to expand the army of 20,000... Calculated according to the current equipment ratio of my security division, plus some German equipment reserved by my security division, all the heavy weapons and submachine guns seized in this decisive battle must be left behind. The only rifle that can be taken out to trade with the veteran is only less than 20,000 yuan..."

"Twenty thousand rifles are enough to make our Jiang Jiang excited... What's more, we already have a large number of middle and senior officers who can definitely make our Jiang Jiang excited, and we have to trade. As for these rifles, they are just to exchange for more benefits that are beneficial to our security division from Jiang Jiang..." Commander Li Guosheng said confidently.

More than 100 middle and senior officers of the Northern Expedition Army who were completely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, more than 300 low-level officers who were also completely loyal to Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, almost 20,000 rifles were indeed a huge temptation for Chiang Kai-shek, who was completely trapped in internal and external affairs at this moment.

Hearing the continuous explanations of Commander Li Guosheng. As an old partner, Li Guanghua directly showed an expression of agreement on his face. He spoke decisively at Li Guosheng: "Master, since we want to trade, what should we do next?"

"The first thing is that all the officers and equipment that are about to trade with Lao Chiang are ready... I won't say much about the officers. As for the equipment, whether it is our original reserves or the current seizure, I have only one requirement to select all the best 20,000 rifles for me. As for the rest, all of them will be used as the trump cards and bargaining chips for my security division to trade with Lao Chiang..." Li Guosheng ordered.

"Yes, Master...is there any?" Li Guanghua nodded and continued to ask.

"Two questions: First, select a smart staff officer from the staff office and immediately rush to Weifang, where Chiang Kai-shek is currently located to express our idea of ​​our desire to trade with him. I believe that after Chiang Kai-shek learned of this news, he will definitely send a capable subordinate to conduct specific negotiations and transactions with us... At that time, I will personally write a letter to Chiang Kai-shek..."

"The second question is that the six main groups, guard groups, special forces, and cavalry regiments under the Security Division will be rested immediately and replenished the losses of the troops as soon as possible from prisoners of war. Once the transaction with Lao Chiang is completed, these main groups must be ready to take over the territory as soon as possible and prepare for defense at the border..." Li Guosheng replied.

"Master, don't worry...I'll make arrangements right away..." With a strong trump card in hand, Deputy Commander Li Guanghua was full of confidence in this transaction, and directly followed the order with a confident look on his face.rs!~!
