Age of Rebirth

Chapter 570: Call from Xiangfan

The Sulu Garrison Corps, an independent division, was besieged by a large number of citizens in Haozhou, Anhui. It finally came to light. All of this was a conspiracy. The Haozhou government and the party department jointly created this incident. On He Yingqin and Chen Guofu.

Tang Qiuli was not surprised that He Yingqin planned this matter. After all, the two had a deep enmity, but Chen Guofu, the organization director of the Communist Party Central Committee and the backstage boss of the Central Unification, also actively intervened in this matter, and did not hesitate to Using his own spy system made Tang Qiuli very angry and puzzled.

Between himself and Chen Guofu, there is no personal grievance, nor any conflicts. What is his purpose for doing this?

The two confession materials of Jia Hongcheng and Li Zonghan lay quietly beside Tang Qiuli's hand. The white paper reflected the light, as if a layer of fog lingered in front of his eyes. He vaguely felt that there must be some mystery in it. I haven't realized it yet, or I haven't considered it. [

Walking out of the house, the camp was quiet. Haozhou City was sleeping in the deep winter, and the cold stars were shining strange eyes in the night sky. Tang Qiuli looked up at the starry sky. History and the future flashed through his mind quickly. Past lives The memories of him flooded his mind like a flood, perhaps because he stayed in this world for a long time, and the past was as thin as smoke.

Suddenly, he seemed to grasp something. At the end of the historical tunnel, there was a faint light. Following this ray of light and thinking deeply, his heart suddenly became clear. He finally accurately grasped the root of the incident.

Everything stems from power struggles. Within the Nationalist Government, He Yingqin and Chen Guofu are the most likely to inherit the position of Generalissimo Chiang, or to be the number two person. The former Minister of Military and Political Affairs held the military and political power, and a minister of the Communist Party Organization held the power of party affairs. They were all heavyweights who could call the wind and rain.

I was born out of nowhere and blocked He Yingqin's way. The conflict with him also originated from this. This is a political enemy. Then, there is a reasonable explanation for He Yingqin's suppression of himself in many ways. However, He Yingqin's luck is not very good. When the incident happened, He Yingqin's ambitions swelled, and the Japanese secretly supported him. He hoped to replace Jiang Zhongzheng in his heart, but he messed up the situation and spoiled the good things.

He was suppressed by himself again, and he has never recovered from it. He can no longer step into the center of power and is completely marginalized. At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, when discussing the strategy to be adopted for the Xi'an Incident, Chen Guofu took He Yingqin's side, which is not difficult to explain. In fact, both He Yingqin and Chen Guofu hoped that the old man would have an accident.

After sorting out the context of the incident, Tang Qiuli quickly walked back into the house, and packed up the two documents carefully. These are two heavy bombs. He Yingqin is already a dead tiger. It's okay to hit him again, and it's better not to turn over forever. , Chen Guofu was not harmed in the slightest, and in his hands was the Central Union Secret Service Agency, which was as famous as Dai Li's army commander. This was a formidable opponent.

As for the party affairs system he mastered, Tang Qiuli didn't take it seriously at all. The secret agents of the Central Committee were what he was most worried about. Or if he is so suppressed that he can't hold his head up, he needs to cultivate an opponent, and Dai Li's Military Control Bureau is the best candidate.

The good fate we formed at the beginning will bring good results today. The personal relationship between myself and Dai Li is quite good. Without the Xi’an Incident, the double reeds I sang with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would not be able to exchange for Dai Li’s love today. Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing, he always hated politics.

Unexpectedly, there is no way to escape, not only to fight the Japanese, but also to fight with the heavyweights inside the government. The danger is no less than that of guns and rain on the battlefield. , I have no way of avoiding this secret struggle, and it is very uncomfortable to be constantly calculated by others. With my experience as a human being in two lifetimes, I am afraid that Chen Guofu will not succeed?With this in mind, Tang Qiuli's mind widened,

In the morning, Tang Qiuli sent three telegrams in a row. As the vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, he wrote to the Anhui Provincial Government and the Provincial Party Department. , Partially believed in rumors, failed to deal with the citizens of Haozhou in time, and deliberately besieged the rest of the Sulu Garrison Regiment of the Independent Division, which further expanded the situation and caused great damage to the troops.

The Anhui Provincial Government and the Provincial Party Headquarters immediately abolished the positions held by the two of them and handed them over to Yousi, and dispatched another capable cadre to take charge of the overall situation of the party and government in Haozhou. When Li dictated the telegram, he paused for a moment, and then ordered Chen Feng to send it out as soon as possible.

Tang Qiuli did not disclose the truth, but seemed to be understating it. He dismissed them and investigated the matter. Li and Jia are just two pawns. Being vigilant and taking precautions in many ways is not conducive to the next plan. Doing so also makes Chen Guofu and He Yingqin mistakenly think that they don't know the truth and root cause of the incident. After this incident, the two of them should be honest for a while.

Then, he sent a telegram to Li Zongren, asking him to go to Haozhou and his party. Since it is widely rumored that the great victory in Xuzhou was all done by the Guangxi Clan, let this newly rising anti-Japanese hero speak out from his own experience and restore the true nature of the matter Firstly, to clear up the innocent grievances of the Sulu Garrison Corps, and secondly, to seek an explanation for the soldiers.

In the afternoon, I received a telegram from Sun Zhenbang and Jiang Yanming to encircle the troops in Shexian County. According to the instructions of the division commander, they adopted the tactics of encircling and not attacking, and bombarded the fortifications of Shexian County day and night with fierce artillery fire. The effect was obvious. The army suffered heavy casualties, and our snipers carried out nighttime annihilation activities. Now, the Japanese army in Shexian County shows signs of breaking through.

Sun Zhenbang’s unit, which ambushed the Kwantung Army, had already wiped out a regiment of the Kwantung Army. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers under the Kwantung Army’s unit was significantly better than that of the Japanese soldiers in North China, but they still wiped out a regiment. Therefore, Sun Zhenbang It is suggested to intensify the attack on Shexian County and lure the Kwantung Army troops to come to help, so as to eat another division of the Kwantung Army, which is the best result. Whether this suggestion is correct or not, please give instructions from the division commander.

From Sun Zhenbang's telegram, Tang Qiuli saw signs that worried him. Annihilating a regiment of the Kwantung Army, the troops were really not satisfied with the fight, and wanted to expand the results of the battle, but they did not realize the potential crisis. Why did the Second Army break through? The attack of the troops is only one factor. The more important thing is that they want to join up with the Kwantung Army troops who came to reinforce them and bite back. It means that the Kwantung Army troops following behind must be The main force of the Southward Corps was not something that Sun Zhenbang's troops could handle. If they made trouble, they would be made dumplings by the Japanese army.

Enough is enough, Tang Qiuli immediately sent a telegram to Jiang Yanming and Sun Zhenbang to conclude the Shexian Campaign immediately, and the troops should immediately leave the battlefield and must not revel in the battle, and transferred to the Taihang Mountain base to rest and recuperate. Adjust the deployment, take the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps as the combat target, and prepare for the next battle.

Tang Qiuli was not very satisfied with the results of the Battle of Shexian County. He was far from his goal of annihilating at least one division of the Kwantung Army. The commander of the Kwantung Army only dispatched a regiment of troops this time. From the direction of Shexian County, it can be seen that this person is very experienced in using troops. If you don't fight, the Japanese army of this regiment will enter Shexian County, which strengthens the defense force of Shexian County and boosts morale.

If the fight starts, it will reveal the intentions of the troops, and also remind the troops behind the Kwantung Army that the Chinese squadron has set up an ambush halfway, whether it is a bait or a test. The big net that was opened only caught a small fish, and the harvest was very small. From then on, the name of Okamura Ningji, the commander of the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps, officially appeared in Tang Qiuli's sight. Tang Qiuli knew that this was an extremely difficult opponent. [

Xuzhou, Commander of the War Zone, Li Zongren, who received Tang Qiuli's telegram, couldn't help but blush, Xuzhou's great victory, his reputation is getting better and better, and the praises in the newspapers made him feel a little heartbeat. Or the pen that was manipulated and bought, Li Zongren also felt that the articles written were a bit too much.

He knew the whole process of the Xuzhou battle. He knew better than anyone how much the independent division had paid for this great victory. Pretending to be ignorant, the so-called pretending to be confused, is probably the state of Chief Li at this time, but now that Tang Qiuli has sent a telegram, this stupidity can no longer be pretended.

In Li Zongren's heart, he was naturally dissatisfied with the place in Haozhou. It is absolutely impossible to leave the trip to Haozhou. Therefore, after Li Zongren arranged the military affairs, he did not dare to neglect, and rushed to Haozhou in the evening of the same day, and After meeting Tang Qiuli, seeing the vice chairman, he didn't blame or express any displeasure at all. He didn't say a single word that made him embarrassed. Instead, he apologized to Chief Labor Li. He felt restless along the way. Finally put it in my stomach, and at the same time, I got a deeper understanding of Tang Qiuli.

After having a pleasant dinner with Li Zongren, Tang Qiuli returned to the headquarters of the Sulu Garrison Corps. As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Feng waiting anxiously for him with a telegram in his hand. For the communications director, Tang Qiuli Li had a strange feeling that all the telegrams he personally sent were extremely important matters, but the ones sent recently were all bad news, and he couldn't help but think of the name "unknown bird".

When Chen Feng saw him, his face showed joy for the first time, "Master, Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, and Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, called. They found Tang Enbo's whereabouts in Xiangfan, Hubei!" Tang Qiuli was shocked. The guy who has played thousands of times finally showed his head.
