Ma Zhuang, Geng Youmin, and Hong Chengwen, who were defeated in one fell swoop, were preparing to show off their skills and concentrate their forces to sweep away the remnants of the Sichuan Army in northern Sichuan.
A message from the General Staff of the 15th Route Army restricted the actions of these tens of thousands of people.
"Master, isn't this message a joke?
We are now in the most critical period.
If we can completely eliminate the armed forces of Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao, it will be easy to take over the entire northern Sichuan."
Although the army has not been officially reorganized, but about Ma Zhuang's letter of appointment for promotion to division commander has arrived, and He, Hong Chengbo, was promoted to chief of staff of the division because of his contribution to the northern Sichuan battle.
Originally, Hong Chengwen was somewhat dissatisfied with such an appointment, but after learning that the status of chief of staff in the 15th Route Army was second only to the chief officer of the army, Hong Chengbo knew that this time He has really entered the top ranks of the 15th Route Army.
If there are no big problems in the subsequent work, with the current expansion rate of the 15th Route Army, it is certain that he will become a division commander later.
Hong Chengbo, who feels that his future is bright, is naturally more concerned about the war in northern Sichuan.
At this time, the situation in the northern Sichuan cluster was very good, so Hong Chengbo naturally wanted to gain greater military exploits and perform well.
"The message from the General Staff must have been authorized by the commander.
What's the use of saying it was just nonsense?"
Ma Zhuang said angrily as he put the tea cup on the table.
"This" Hong Chengwen said for a moment.
"Of course the General Staff has its own considerations.
Whether it's messing around or messing around, we just have to do what the higher-ups tell us.
The credit for the Pingchuan victory has been firmly credited.
Why are we still worried?
Think about it.
He was promoted to division commander and army commander," Ma Zhuang said with a smile.
"It's just a little strange.
Cutting off the weeds does not remove the roots.
Spring breezes bring new growth.
If we don't take advantage of this great opportunity to wipe out the troops of Marquis Deng Xi and Tian Songyao, I'm afraid they will regain their strength later and our plan in northern Sichuan will have another setback. , I am afraid that the success of this battle will be greatly weakened."
Hong Chengbo sneered, Ma Zhuang was right.
Although his military achievements were sufficient this time, it was extremely rare for him to rise quickly in his position.
"I don't know the specific details now.
However, the commander and the general staff naturally have their own considerations.
We just follow orders now."
Ma Zhuang shook his head.
In fact, as Ma Zhuang said, if there was nothing else, Jiang Li would not easily give up this opportunity to expand his victory.
Not long before Hong Chengbo hesitated, Kong Xiangxi happened to be sitting opposite Jiang Li.
"Commander Jiang, this time I'm here to mediate the war between Gansu and Sichuan.
The Japanese army is worried about being overwhelmed by a large army.
It's a time when we share the same enemy.
How can Commander Jiang start a civil war just because of some turf war?"
" Kong Xiangxi said as he sat opposite Jiang Li with the air of a special envoy from the central government.
"Since Nanjing also knows that the Japanese troops are pressing the border, they should share the same hatred with the enemy.
Why should they force the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to disintegrate?"
Jiang Li retorted coldly.
"The Chahar rebels have common concerns, and the central government will naturally deal with them severely."
Kong Xiangxi said with a serious expression, "In addition, the Sichuan-Gansu war has seriously affected the central government's plan to suppress the communists.
The red forces have taken advantage of the situation to expand their power.
This is The central government will never allow it.”
He didn't mediate early or late, but he waited until Ma Changzheng defeated Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao.

The time was really chosen right.
However, Jiang Li didn't care about the central government's attempt to suppress the 15th Route Army.
I'm afraid he would have made the same choice in another position.
Tian Songyao and Deng Xihou were originally transferred by Liu Xiang to northern Sichuan to suppress the red forces.
However, due to the Battle of Northern Sichuan, , how strong is the Sichuan army in northern Sichuan?
Almost all of them were contained, resulting in the Red forces not being oppressed and indeed growing to a certain extent.
The 15th Route Army also occupied a large area in northern Sichuan.
In view of the 15th Route Army's incompetent performance in suppressing the Communists, Nanjing also had enough Reasons to step in.
"It is not difficult to stop the war in northern Sichuan, but the prerequisite is that Sichuan must also show sincerity to cease the war."
Thinking of this, Jiang Li also understood the principle of giving up when things are good.
At present, the transportation lifeline of the northwest is still controlled by Nanjing.
Later, when Hitler excluded the Jews and Jiang Li introduced Jewish scientists on a large scale to strengthen the scientific research power in the northwest, he also needed the support of Nanjing.
At this time, Jiang Li had no real idea of challenging Nanjing's bottom line.
"Ginger misses it but it's okay to say it."
"For the most part, I have told Liu Xiang before.
The first point is that Sichuan must not interfere with Gansu's efforts to build a road to Sichuan.
The 15th Route Army spent tens of millions of dollars on ammunition in this battle.
I can't spend this money in vain. , the captured people and guns can be returned to the Sichuan Army, but Sichuan will also have to compensate the 15th Route Army for its military expenses.
In addition, in addition to the area occupied by the 15th Route Army, Sichuan has set aside ten counties as a buffer zone for both sides.
Both sides usually station troops.”
"Commander Jiang will see if the conditions can be more lenient.
I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sichuan to accept such harsh conditions."
Kong Xiangxi said with a somewhat unsightly expression.
The conditions proposed by Jiang Li were too harsh.
"You are not Liu Xiang, how do you know that Liu Xiang will not accept it.
This time my army won the battle.
What if Liu Xiang won the battle?
If you don't accept it, just pull the army out to fight.
Let's go to each other.
Let the guy in his hand speak."
Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.
"This will make it difficult for Commander Jiang to make things easier for the committee.
If so, I'm afraid the committee will have no choice but to send troops to the Sichuan-Shaanxi border to suppress the bandits.
It would be bad if Commander Jiang's transportation resources were occupied during the intermediary."
Kong Xiangxi took a breath, and now the whole During the Republic of China, Zhang Xueliang's Northeastern Army, the most powerful force, had already sunk.
Yan Xishan and Li Zongren had long been subdued by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
I am afraid that only Jiang Li would dare to say such tough words.
The northwest is too far away from Nanjing's sphere of influence.
In addition to transportation being controlled by Nanjing, there is nothing that can be done about the northwest even when it comes to entrustment.
However, as a delegate, no matter how strong Jiang Li was, he could not go back to Chairman Chiang with such conditions.
"Forget it, just give the chairman this face, ask for a high price, and pay back the money on the spot.
How the details of the negotiation will depend on Liu Xiang's reply.
It's not that I can't negotiate, but I can't give in too much on the conditions just now.
Commission You can't let me suffer alone.
Please let Liu Xiang reply to me," Jiang Li said in a slightly calmer tone.

"Forget it, then I'll contact Liu Xiang.
Let's try to make the big issue as small as possible.
Why can't we sit down and talk calmly?
But before we talk, Commander Jiang will ask the frontline troops to stop the momentum of the attack."
Kong Xiangxi smiled when he heard this.
"It's natural.
I have always respected the central government.
If Liu Xiang wants to make a comeback, I can defeat the Sichuan Army once, and I can defeat them a second time.
I hope the Chairman will not stop me again."
Jiang Lileng Ran smiled.
"The concessions made by Commander Jiang will be explained to the committee later."
Kong Xiangxi felt a chill in his heart.
Although Nanjing grasped the weakness of the Northwest to a certain extent, the Northwest's self-sufficiency of guns and artillery at this time was not taken out of its lifeblood.
Even the appointment should be done in moderation.
The current 15th Route Army is far more capable than Feng Yuxiang's old Northwest Army, and with Jiang Li as a strong leader, I don't know what kind of waves will be caused in the Northwest in the future.
The Japanese army dominates the Northeast, the Communist bandits are causing trouble, and warlords from all over the country support their troops.
It's a troubled time
