Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli replied to the telegram with a brush, read it silently, quite satisfied, and then handed it to Mei Ting who was waiting at the side. Mei Ting was the chief secretary, and she handled all Tang Qiuli's telegrams and letters.

After Mei Ting finished reading, she laughed "puchi", handed the telegram back to Tang Qiuli, and said, "Qiuli, is this not good? After all, you are also a serving general and a senior official of the national government, so you are not afraid of failure." Out of decency, let others laugh at you?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head, "Mei Ting, this is still light, I just took my identity into consideration, otherwise, I would scold this guy to death on the spot, and save him from being a traitor and shame his ancestors, you don't know, with This kind of people can't make sense, they only have fists to talk about, so they will follow this, and post the original text."

When Yin Rugeng received Tang Qiuli's call back, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. His face was livid, his lips were pale, his hands and feet trembled, and he yelled, "Tang Qiuli, you speak so rudely. How dare you humiliate me like this. We will never end with you!" [

As he said that, he tore the telegram into pieces, lost his temper, and got angry, so what to do, the Japanese master meant to act out of camera, and sending troops was unlikely, Yin Rugeng was in trouble.

There was no other way. I ordered all the troops of the Jidong Security Corps to stay in place and close the city gates. The scattered troops immediately shrank to several central towns, and no conflicts or disputes with the troops of the independent division were allowed.

To be able to fight back, not to fight back, as long as you don't want your head, you can bear anything, Yin Rugeng doesn't want to fight, but his own strength is obvious, there is no Japanese to back him, and he fights against independent divisions , I'm afraid it won't be a round, and I will lose all the money I have saved so hard, and I will use it to be the emperor of Jidong in the future.

Yin Rugeng was really terrified of being beaten. Last year, the independent division passed by, and with a casual wave of his hand, his security team of more than 1 people disappeared immediately, and his brother-in-law was killed.

Yin Rugeng couldn't fight and couldn't afford to pay. The troops led by Liu Tiehan were able to move freely on the land of Eastern Hebei. Wherever they went, the Security Corps of Eastern Hebei closed the city gates, occupied several central towns, Completely to the troops of the independent division.

Liu Tiehan deployed his troops in Tangshan, Qianxi, Kuancheng, Hiraizumi, and Doerden. In terms of strategic situation, he had already blocked the land passages of the Japanese troops in Northeast China and North China. Of course, this was just a strategic situation.

Once a war breaks out, the troops led by Liu Tiehan will become a lone army, surrounded by the Japanese troops in North China and Northeast China, and will be in a dire situation. Tang Qiuli also knows that this is a dangerous move. He just wants to tell the Japanese that the whole There are my troops in the area of ​​Jicha. If you want to do it, you should think about it.

To be on the safe side, Tang Qiuli formulated a contingency plan for Liu Tiehan's troops. Once there was a danger of being encircled by the Kwantung Army and the North China Japanese Army, the troops immediately went north to the Chabei Grassland, entered the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and waited for an opportunity to return to the northeast. There was a commotion in the hinterland, which prevented the Kwantung Army from sending more troops to join the North China battlefield. Then, Liu Tiehan's troops withdrew from the northeast and attacked the weak areas of the Japanese army in the Rehe area, threatening the Japanese rear in the northwest of Peiping.

In order to achieve this goal, Liu Tiehan's troops are required to have independent seventh and eighth infantry brigades, fourth artillery brigades, fourth and fifth cavalry brigades, etc., about 6000 people, with the mobility of the altimeter, all over the country The intelligence networks in various parts of Hebei will report all the actions of the Japanese army to Liu Tiehan in time.

Fight quickly, retreat quickly, and leave with one blow. This is why Tang Qiuli asked the mature and prudent Liu Tiehan to command this army and send two cavalry brigades. For this reason, Tang Qiuli used more than 600 vehicles to take Liu Tiehan The troops have completely turned into mechanized troops, and they can march hundreds of kilometers overnight at an astonishing speed.

Unless the Japanese army is also a mechanized force, that would be even better. Attracting some of the Japanese troops to the Inner Mongolia plateau far away from the Pingjin battlefield would directly weaken the overall strength of the Japanese army in North China. He eats, and if the troops are too strong, he will drag them away. The vast and vast Inner Mongolia Plateau has a great strategic maneuvering space.

After deploying the troops, Tang Qiuli really hoped that the Japanese would follow their own pace and change their deployment accordingly, so that his work was not in vain.

However, the Japanese army in North China, determined to form a superior encirclement force against Pingjin, refused to be moved by Tang Qiuli's deployment. Instead, they concentrated their main forces in the triangle area of ​​Pingjin, Tianjin and Baoding.

In the Pingjin area of ​​North China, a complex situation was formed, in which there was an enemy among us, and there was an enemy among us. Neither the Japanese nor Tang Qiuli intended to take the initiative to attack, and a delicate temporary balance appeared in the situation.

In September and October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army in North China made a big move, and the independent division troops still followed the original deployment and adopted the strategy of waiting and watching.

The Japanese didn't do anything, and the Chinese themselves started to make a fuss. The Guangdong-Guangdong Incident broke out. In fact, the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident had already begun to appear in June of this year, and it was full of gunpowder.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the leaders of the Xingui faction, and Chen Jitang, the local power faction in Guangdong, openly opposed Chiang, put forward the theory of "scorched earth resistance war", and attacked the central government headed by Chiang Kai-shek for "inaction" and watching large areas of land fall. China has entered a state of "half dead".

In fact, Li Bai and Chen Jitang of the Xingui clan and Chen Jitang of the Guangdong clan used the name of the anti-Japanese movement to resist the political incident of Chiang Kai-shek, the central leader of the national government. Finish.

At this time, Chairman Jiang put all his energy and thoughts on the Guangdong and Guangxi Incident. On the one hand, he deployed troops and generals to prepare to use force to solve the local power faction in Guangdong and Guangxi that had been in a semi-independent state since the beginning of the Republic of China. [

On the one hand, buying with a lot of money, disintegrating, coercing and luring, and exhausting all kinds of means, finally opened a gap in the weak link between Guangdong and Guangxi, the camp of the southern king of Cantonese, Chen Jitang.

In July of this year, Huang Guangrui, commander of the Cantonese air force, led more than 70 planes to defect to Chen and Chiang Kai-shek. Li Hanhun, another commander of the Second Army, believed that the Chen family's "so-called anti-Japanese and national salvation cloud is simply an open lie", so he "hanged the seal and sealed the gold", and returned to Han alone without a trace.

Because the Xingui faction is different from the Cantonese faction, a group organization with Li Bai as the core was formed during its formation, and the centripetal force was very stable. Chiang Kai-shek’s acquisition and division of the Xingui faction failed, and there were no military and political figures in the Xingui faction who voted for Chiang. .

Huang Shaohong, the third figure in the Xingui family, although he devoted himself to the Central Government of Nanjing, Chairman Jiang, was "in Cao Ying and his heart in Han".

Out of strong indignation at Japan's invasion of large areas of Northeast China and North China, and sympathy for the New Guizhou faction, all walks of life and local powerful factions across the country began to lean towards the New Guizhou Clan, calling for a peaceful resolution of the Guangdong and Guangxi incidents.

At the end of September, the central government and the local power factions of the Guangxi faction reached a settlement. The Nationalist Government and the Military Commission issued an order that the positions of Li, Bai, and officials of the Guangxi faction would not change. Chairman of the central government.

The Guangdong-Guangdong incident lasted for more than four months. After the two sides dispatched as many as 80 troops to confront each other, it finally ended without firing a single shot.

The Guangdong-Guangdong Incident was successfully resolved, and Generalissimo Chiang was the biggest winner. It can be described as "no guns were spent, no soldiers were shed." Not only that, he also picked up nearly a hundred aircraft and countless weapons and equipment and soldiers.

Although the Xingui faction was not injured, Chairman Jiang weakened the Xingui faction from a political faction that could influence the whole country to a local power faction. From then on, they could only settle in the southwest corner.

The worst loser was Chen Jitang, the southern king of the Cantonese faction. Not only did his subordinates disperse and defect, and his power was uprooted, but he was also forced to leave Hong Kong to become a public servant. .

After the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident was resolved, Generalissimo Chiang’s prestige was at its peak. Looking around, he no longer had any opponents. During the Central Plains War, he defeated Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army, Yan Xishan of the Jinsui Department, and the southwestern provinces, chasing and suppressing the Red Army. The tentacles of the Central Committee Where it has reached, and has taken root.

The Japanese drove Zhang Xueliang, the strongest man of the Northeast Army, out of his hometown for him. He lost his land and had to live with others. The so-called "a fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken". The hinterland of the Central Plains was cut off and shrunk back to the southeast, so they had to accept the leadership of the central government.

Generalissimo Jiang was finally able to put all his energy and thoughts into the Northwest, where his confidant and sworn enemy, the CCP Red Army led by Zhu Mao, was still in northern Shaanxi, ceding territory and establishing a separate court.

As for the solution to the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, Tang Qiuli knew the result a long time ago. Therefore, when the Guangdong-Guangdong incident became agitated, he received a telegram from Shanxi Chief Yan. His tone.

Tang Qiuli was instinctively wary of the calculating Yan Chief. He replied that it was disrespectful for Guangdong and Guangxi to oppose the central government with local governments. On the other hand, he gagged Chief Yan's mouth neatly.

Tang Qiuli was sincerely happy with the solution to the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident. Although it was the result of a political compromise, it avoided a major civil war and the internal consumption of China's national defense forces.

If there is a fight between Guangdong, Guangxi and then Nanjing, only the Japanese will be happy. They will provide both sides with guns and ammunition and large sums of money. The more intense the fight, the better. Without any effort, the whole of China can be firmly occupied.

It is certain that the final result of the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident will surely disappoint and annoy the Japanese Communist Party.

When receiving information about the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident collected by intelligence agencies, a certain person was having a picnic and barbecue with his beloved woman and a team of guards in a deep valley in the Taihang Mountains.
