    Lao Jiang was very angry that Li Guoyao sent people to directly kill Deputy Commander Wang of the 40th Division and forced two divisions of the Eighth Army to go south to reinforce Guide. This reminded him of the Double Ten event two years ago.  When the second incident happened, I thought of those ten days of frustration.

    So when he first heard about this incident, he almost ordered people to arrest Li Guoyao, and even had the idea of ????getting rid of him quickly.

    But when the great victory in East Henan came, especially when the situation that only a thousand men of the 61st Army was left on his desk, Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts changed again.

    He knew about the young Li Guoyao. It was true that he was from the Northeast Army, but he had never been timid during the war, and he had the courage to take on the responsibility.

    Whether it was the defense of Bengbu before or the initiative to reinforce Mengcheng, or the defense of Guide this time, they all showed the characteristics of an excellent soldier.

    Comparatively speaking, the performance of the few of his proud disciples on the battlefield was much worse. Some of them fled without fighting, and some of them escaped in the face of the battle. They almost embarrassed their grandma's house.

    If this matter is that Li Guoyao really seizes power from the Central Army, or uses the Central Army as cannon fodder, Chiang Kai-shek will never let Li Guoyao go. But the current situation is that Li Guoyao's headquarters has suffered losses beyond imagination, and it is basically all gone.  .

    This shows that Li Guoyao's forced order of the Eighth Army to go south for reinforcements was a helpless move and was for the sake of the overall situation.

    And conversely speaking, without Li Guoyao's move, there would be no possibility of the great victory in East Henan. In addition, Li Guoyao had orders from Xue Yue and the First Theater Commander's Department when he acted. Strictly speaking, it is not illegal.  .

    Because of this, this matter was really difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to handle.

    When Chiang Kai-shek was in trouble, Wang Shihe, the director of the Attendance Office, knocked on the door again and walked in, holding a telegram in his hand.

    "Principal, Chief Xue sent a telegram from the front line!"

    After receiving the telegram handed over by Wang Shihe, Lao Jiang just glanced at the frown on his forehead and relaxed.

    Afterwards, Lao Jiang raised the telegram in his hand and said: "Everyone, this is a telegram sent by Xue Boling from the Kaifeng front line. It has two meanings. The first is to ask for credit for Li Guoyao and the 61st Army."

    Then Lao Jiang continued: "According to Xue Boling, Li Guoyao and the 61st Army were the first contributors to the great victory in eastern Henan. If Li Guoyao's troops had not arrived in Guide in time, Guide City would have fallen as early as the 29th.  Once Guide fell, the Battle of East Henan would end without a problem, and Li Guoyao's troops made great contributions to this matter."

    "Secondly, Li Guoyao's troops also made great achievements in blocking enemy reinforcements. They used tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers to block the heavy attack of five divisions and two brigades of the Japanese army. They fought from Mengcheng to Guide, basically fighting  No one retreated until the end, which not only blocked the Japanese army¡¯s crazy attack, shattered the Japanese army¡¯s attempt to reinforce the Lanfeng battlefield, but also severely damaged the Japanese army.¡±

    "Among the more than 50,000 enemy troops annihilated in this battle, more than 30,000 were achieved by the troops on the southern front, while less than 20,000 enemies were annihilated in the main battlefield of Lanfeng. What's more, Li Guoyao annihilated more than 20,000 enemies in this battle.  The air defense regiment under his command shot down more than 70 enemy planes and injured more than 40. The Japanese fighter jets they fought no longer dared to fly at low altitudes, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Lanfeng front line. Therefore, Xue Boling personally asked for credit for Li Guoyao's command!  "

    As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Chen said immediately: "Commissioner, we all know Xue Boling's character. He is not the kind of person who talks freely. And as far as I know, the relationship between Xue Boling and Li Guoyao is not good, and there is even a big fight between them.  There is absolutely no selfish intention in celebrating the festival. Since he asked for credit for Li Guoyao, it means that Li Guoyao did make great contributions in the great victory in eastern Henan!"

    "Oh, Xue Boling and Li Guoyao are at odds. Is there such a thing?" Minister He asked with a surprised look on his face.

    "I know something about this. It is said that when Li Guoyao's troops were guarding Mengcheng, Xue Boling was worried about the situation on the southern front and personally sent a telegram asking Li Guoyao's troops to defend Mengcheng. If they lost their position, they would question Li Guoyao. The result  But he was pushed back by Li Guoyao, and he also scolded the entire Central Army. Xue Boling personally complained to me about this matter!" said Chairman Chiang.

    "This Li Guoyao's character is truly well-deserved. He is not afraid of anyone. He even dares to fight Xue Boling, a tiger cub. His temper is truly unparalleled!" Minister He said with a smile.

    "Although Li Guoyao is not old, he is indeed a good fighter, and he doesn't have much selfishness. He can win one or two!" Chief Chen said.

    Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while and said: "The second thing in Xue Boling's telegram was to ask the Military Commission to severely punish Gui Yongqing, commander of the 27th Army, and Huang Jie, commander of the Eighth Army, and stated that the lack of severe punishment would not be enough to anger the people.  Not enough to move forwardThe 100,000 troops who died on the front line confessed.  "

    Hearing this, everyone, including Minister He, fell silent. Xue Boling wanted to kill Gui Yongqing, Huang Jie and others.

    "But if you think about it, you can understand that as the commander-in-chief of the eastern Henan front line, Xue Boling can be said to have put his wealth and life on the line, but as a result, these two guys did bad things and good things again and again.

    ¡°If Li Guoyao¡¯s command had not blocked the loophole in time, the Dofeiyuan Division would have escaped long ago. Even once the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the hinterland of Henan would not be protected, and the consequences would be extremely serious.

    The future of a bad guy is like killing his parents. Xue Boling, who has such a great hatred, will definitely not pretend that nothing happened.

    "Jingzhi, Cixiu, can you tell me what to do about this matter?" Lao Jiang asked in a deep voice.

    Minister He thought for a while and said: "Commissioner, as a relative of Gui Yongqing, I can't intervene in the matter itself, but since the commissioner asked, I will say a few words. Gui Yongqing's command lost Lan Fengcheng.  Facts, there is no need to dispute this point. Based on this point alone, he should be dismissed from his post and should be investigated and investigated."

    "However, it is quite controversial that the 27th Army fled without a fight, because according to the results of the subsequent investigation, Gui Yongqing had ordered the 88th Division to stay in Lanfeng, but the 88th Division Commander Long Muhan retreated privately, and finally  It resulted in a tragic disaster, so Long Muhan should be the first person responsible for this and should be killed. Of course, as the commander of the 27th Army, Gui Yongqing also has an unshirkable responsibility, so he should be removed from his post and will never be tolerated.  "

    "What about Huang Jie's matter?"

    Minister He immediately said: "We have also investigated the matter of Huang Jie's loss of Guide. Huang Jie's explanation was that the radio station of the Eighth Army headquarters was blown up and could not contact the rear, so it had to retreat. Regarding this explanation, we  Without making an evaluation, yes or no actually means nothing, but it is worth mentioning that the Eighth Army did not flee without a fight!"

    Then Minister He continued: "In fact, Huang Jie's Eighth Army did fight a bloody battle with the Japanese 16th Division, and finally retreated after covering the successful retreat of the Xuzhou troops, and the Eighth Army's units suffered no losses.  It is small, and the retreat of the Eighth Army did not cause irreparable heavy losses to the national army on a large strategic level."

    "However, the Eighth Army repeatedly disobeyed military orders, resulting in frequent uncontrollable incidents on the front line. Huang Jie, as the commander of the army, must bear the main responsibility for this matter. Therefore, I think Huang Jie himself should be dismissed from his post. As for his future use,  There is no need for him to think otherwise, as for the Eighth Army, its designation should also be revoked!"

    Lao Jiang did not make an immediate decision, but asked Chen Cheng: "Ci Xiu, what do you think?"

    Chen Cheng thought for a while and said: "The matter of the 27th Army still needs to be investigated clearly, but there is no doubt that Huang Jie's troops retreated privately. The chief officer was dismissed from his post and investigated, and the unit's designation was revoked. It must be severely punished. We must set an example for all officers and soldiers."  . In addition, I suggest that after the designation of the Eighth Army is revoked, all soldiers can be incorporated into the 61st Army to restore the combat effectiveness of the 61st Army in the shortest possible time."

    Hearing Chen Cheng¡¯s words, Lao Jiang, Minister He and others all frowned!

    Chen Cheng then explained: "Commissioner, the composition of the 61st Army was too complex before, so it was difficult to control, but now its main force has been almost wiped out. If the Military Commission can add soldiers from the Central Military Department in time, then  From now on, this army will become a direct descendant of the Central Army, not the Northeastern Army!"

    Everyone present was a smart person, and as soon as these words came out, they immediately understood what Chen Cheng meant.

    "Lao Jiang immediately made a decision: "Let's do this. In addition, the 61st Army will be upgraded from one division and one brigade to a two-division organization, and the new 100th Brigade will be upgraded to the new 100th Division"
