    It was already two days later when Li Guoyao contacted the Sulu War Zone Chief. In the past two days, he had been leading people around the mountainous area northeast of Zaozhuang.

    Knowing that he would be setting up camp here for a long time, he had to have a certain understanding of the nearby terrain, so after settling down, Li Guoyao led the special team into the mountain.

    Because the terrain in the mountains is rugged, the mountains are high and the ravines are deep, the radio signal is unstable, so Li Guoyao simply ordered people to turn off the radio and enter a state of silence. He did not expect to miss such an important thing.

    When Li Guoyao learned that Yu Xuezhong had arrived in Lunan with the 51st Army and the 57th Army and was preparing to attack Yinan County, he was somewhat surprised.

    Li Guoyao has a certain understanding of Yu Xuezhong. This former Northeastern Army general was born in Penglai, Shandong Province. He was later admitted to the infantry department of the Yijun Accelerated Camp School.  Later he served as commander of the 9th Army of the Zhili Clan and Commander-in-Chief of the Jingxiang Garrison, Commander of the 20th Army of the Fengcian Clan, Commander of the Linsui Garrison, Commander of the Pingjin Garrison of the National Government, Chairman of Hebei Province, Commander-in-Chief of the 3rd Group Army, and Commander-in-Chief of the Sulu Theater.  Commander, Vice President of the Military Senate and other positions.

    Yu Xuezhong¡¯s life can be called a legend. He has had four major turning points in his life. He hugged his thighs several times but left his loyalty to the world, which is extremely rare.

    Although the Republic of China was an era when the city was changing with the king's flag, the more troubled the times, the more people valued loyalty and morality.

    I think back on the mighty general Lu Bu from the Three Kingdoms period. He was very brave throughout his life, but he was given the title of a slave with three surnames. The reason is that he had three masters in his life. If Cao Cao hadn't changed his mind at the last moment and killed Lu Bu, he might have become a slave.  The fourth surname is a domestic slave.

    "However, Yu Xuezhong changed his family four times in his life, but no one said he was treacherous. Instead, everyone gave him a thumbs up, which is really rare.

    Yu Xuezhong¡¯s father, Yu Wenfu, served as battalion deputy under Song Qing of the Huai Army.  Yu Xuezhong followed his father in the battalion since he was a child. At the age of 18, he was admitted to the infantry department of Yijun's accelerated battalion school. After graduation, he served as platoon and company commander.

    After the outbreak of the Revolution of 1911, Yijun general Li Tiancai led the 9th Division to revolt. However, the division leader Zhao Ronghua defected to Yuan Shikai and was reorganized into the 18th Mixed Brigade.  Zhao lost his father when he was young, and was raised by Yu Xuezhong's parents.  After Zhao Ronghua was promoted to brigade commander, he invited Yu Xuezhong to serve as the artillery battalion commander of the brigade.

    In 1921, Xiong Kewu of the Sichuan Army attacked Yichang. Wu Peifu, the patrol envoy to the two lakes, ordered Lu Jinshan and Zhao Ronghua to reinforce him, but he was defeated by the Sichuan Army.  Wu Peifu took a ship to Yichang to inspect the front line and found that only one of Yu Xuezhong's battalions was still confronting the Sichuan army.

    When Zhao Ronghua heard that Wu had arrived at the front line, he hurriedly packed up his defeated troops and returned to the front line, finally turning the situation from danger to safety and turning the defeat into safety.  Wu Peifu immediately said to Zhao Ronghua: "Ask Battalion Commander Yu to follow me and become the regiment leader!"

    Since then, Yu Xuezhong, who was courageous and knowledgeable in Wu Peifu's eyes, was quickly promoted, and in just a few years he became the commander of the 9th Army and the commander-in-chief of the Jingxiang Garrison Area.

    Later, Wu Peifu's 14-province coalition was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army. Wu fled to Yu Xuezhong's tribe in Deng County, Henan, and attempted to take Yu's tribe into Sichuan.

    Yu said to Wu: "The commander-in-chief brings a heavy army to Sichuan, which may make people feel that he is taking the lead. It is better to just bring the guard regiment, and still get the welcome and protection of the Sichuan army generals after entering Sichuan. After the commander-in-chief entered Sichuan, I also disarmed and returned to the field, and stayed with the commander-in-chief.  advance and retreat."

    Wu Peifu then complied, and Yu Xuezhong also took off his military uniform, mounted his horse and returned to his hometown in Penglai.

    Soon after, at the invitation of Zhang Zuolin, Yu Xuezhong led his old troops to join the Fengxi clique.

    Later, Wu Peifu, along with his family and dozens of followers, returned to Peiping from Sichuan to settle down. Yu Xuezhong, then commander of the Pingjin garrison, often visited the Wu family and provided assistance.

    Sending Wu Touzhang was an almost perfect inheritance. Yu Xuezhong not only demonstrated his loyalty and upright personality, but also showed his mellowness and argumentative skills.

    Before Yu Xuezhong left the camp, Zhang Zuolin sent a visitor. After returning to his hometown, Marshal Zhang sent someone to Penglai with his handwritten letter, urging Yu to go to Beijing to discuss cooperation issues.

    At that time, Yu¡¯s old unit had been reorganized by Feng Yuxiang, but his former subordinates Ma Tingfu and others took advantage of the opportunity to mobilize troops and dragged three divisions to the Mengcheng area of ??Anhui Province. They then sent people to Yu Xuezhong¡¯s home in Penglai to ask the commander-in-chief to come out.

    Yu Xuezhong said: "When we take a boat, we must take a big boat so that we can withstand strong winds and waves." So he led his troops to join Fengxi.

    A closer look revealed that Zhang Zuolin was still an old friend of Yu Xuezhong¡¯s father, Yu Wenfu¡ªZhang Zuolin was once a ¡°horse thief¡± and was later recruited to serve under Song Qing¡¯s subordinates, so he had a working relationship with Yu¡¯s father.

    In Peking, Zhang Zuolin said: "You are a son of my old friend, not an outsider. I know your loyalty to Wu Ziyu, and I hope you can treat me like you did to Wu Ziyu."

    Yu ?Zhongsui was appointed as the commander of the 20th Army of the Fengtian Department and was under the command of Marshal Zhang, commander of the 3rd and 4th Front Army.

    For such an "outsider", Shaoshuai Zhang has great trust in Xuezhong.

    After the "September 18th" Incident, Marshal Zhang was charged with "non-resistance" and resigned.  Before going to Europe and the United States for inspection, Marshal Zhang handed over the entire Northeast Army to the command of Yu Xuezhong.

    When Marshal Zhang was preparing to launch the "Xi'an Incident", Yu Xuezhong once asked Marshal Zhang: "How can you do this well?"

    Zhang replied: "Just do it, why worry so much?"

    Yu said: "If you want to work hard, you must work hard to the end, and never give up halfway."

    Later, Shaoshuai Zhang, who "gave up halfway", was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek.  Before accompanying Jiang on the plane, Marshal Zhang once again handed over most of the Northeast Army and his own property to Yu Xuezhong.

    From then on, Yu Xuezhong put the kindness of knowing and encountering him first, and always used the interests of Marshal Zhang as his criterion for making choices, even going against the trend for this reason.

    For this reason, he risked "offending Long Yan" and went to Nanjing four times to meet with Chiang Kai-shek and request the release of Marshal Zhang, but he never succeeded.

    He once said to his subordinates: "Deputy Commander Zhang asked me to take care of the Northeastern refugees, defend North China, and resolutely withstand the Japanese attack, and I have done it. I will wait until he is free and return the Northeastern Army to him."

    Yu Xuezhong was very disrespectful to Chiang Kai-shek.  After Wu Peifu was defeated and entered Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek immediately sent a letter of appointment, appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the border regions of Sichuan, Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi provinces.

    Yu Xuezhong tore up the appointment letter and rebuked loudly: "He appointed me? I still want to appoint him! I will not wear the KMT hat in my life!"

    But Chiang Kai-shek admired Xuezhong quite a lot. Chiang had a habit of writing comments about generals in a small book he carried with him.

    Regarding Marshal Zhang, Jiang commented that he was "muddleheaded in big things, but shrewd in small things." But he admired Xuezhong, saying that he had "bright eyes, loyal to people, and a talented general." This was also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek "destroyed" Yang Chenghu  , one of the reasons why Marshal Zhang was placed under house arrest, but he spared Xuezhong and allowed him to "do meritorious service for his crime".

    For such an immediate boss, Li Guoyao still approves very much!

    In particular, Yu Xuezhong was a veteran of the Northeast Army. After Marshal Zhang was put under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Xuezhong has always been one of the most representative figures of the Northeast Army.

    I have always served under him, and for the sake of being a member of the Northeast Army, I can turn a blind eye to some things.

    Regarding the Sulu War Zone¡¯s plan to attack Yinan County, Li Guoyao felt that there was nothing to say, and it was something that could be easily captured.

    The people in southern Shandong are poor, and there are very few soldiers stationed here. There is only one infantry regiment of the 21st Division in the large southern Shandong area, and it is also scattered in Linyi, Linmu, Yinan, and Yishui.  , Juxian, Rizhao and more than a dozen counties and districts, even if you want to assemble these troops, it will take some effort.

    ??And almost all the troops in the Sulu theater are relatively concentrated, and they are still calculated mentally and unintentionally. Taking Yinan is not an easy task.

    Besides, Yu Xuezhong also knew the terrain of the southern Lunan area quite well. During the Battle of Xuzhou, he led a tired division to reinforce Taierzhuang and served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Corps. He led his troops to outwit Hanzhuang and capture Jiajiabu.  , fought bloody battles on Yuwang Mountain, and repeatedly made military exploits in the battle.

    ¡°Right now, he is commanding the main force to attack a small county town, which is a complete overkill.

    It is easy to attack Yinan, but it is not easy to gain a foothold in the Lunan area.

    Now the little devils have set their sights on the Lunan area. Before the little devils have investigated the true identity of the troops that attacked Peixian, Fengxian and Zaozhuang, if their troops jump out to attack Yinan, they will inevitably be misunderstood by the Japanese army.  The Japanese army will definitely send out heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Sulu theater.

    And Yu Xuezhong's troops have just arrived in Shandong and are not yet stable, so they may suffer heavy losses.

    In view of this, Li Guoyao felt it necessary to remind Yu Xuezhong!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
