Age of Rebirth

Chapter 610 IX Juye Riot

Qiuquan's tactics were very effective. Behind the squad was a large force, encircling the remaining bandits of Xu Sanguang's bandit gang in the center of Julai Mountain, and finally wiped out this bandit gang that had endangered Mount Tai in Luzhong for many years. The peripheral troops also successively captured more than 1000 scattered bandits who were trying to escape. As a result, the suppression of bandits in Central Lu ended successfully.

The Xu Sanguang bandit gang has become a historical term. The bandit gang that threatened Jinan the most was finally annihilated, which also relieved Liu Tiehan's worries.

The Juye area in the west of Luxi is the activity area of ​​Chen Tiannan, an anti-Japanese rescue party in Shandong. Just because his team has the word "Anti-Japanese", we really can't treat him like we eliminated Liu Motou and Zheng Sanguang. Just send troops to encircle and suppress him. , Li Honggang took a lot of brains before leading the troops to set off.

Chen Tiannan's armed forces really deceived many people in the Juye area. He restrained his subordinates from doing things that would endanger the people. In addition, he was the regiment leader of Han Fuju's army. Although the number is not the largest, the combat effectiveness is very strong, better than those pure bandits who make a living by looting houses. [

With so many soldiers, Chen Tiannan certainly couldn't pay for it himself. He organized local self-government associations in the Juye area to perform government functions, distribute food and money, collect taxes and collect rents. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, Chen Tiannan is like a local emperor in the Juye area, and Lunan has the posture of a country within a country.

Although he scraped the land very hard, he finally understood the principle of releasing water to raise fish. From time to time, he would open a warehouse to release food, pick up important matters, spend a few small money, and save the desperate people. Although his life was hard, he lived and worked in peace and contentment. At least there were no open-flame bandits to kill and set fire. As a result, Chen Tiannan deceived many people in Luxi area and gained some good reputation.

It is because of this that it is even more dangerous. The intelligence headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army has long been eyeing Chen Tiannan's armed forces. Compared with those professional bandits, Chen Tiannan's political leanings are more obvious. The Japanese military intelligence department has also stepped up their work against him. , finally pulled Chen Tiannan into the chariot of the Japanese.

Recently, through secret channels, the Communists added a large amount of Japanese equipment to Chen Tiannan's team, which greatly improved his armed forces and combat effectiveness. When Chen Tiannan was smug, hugging the thick legs of a woman, and only wanted to make meritorious deeds.

The Communists have promised him that once the imperial army captures Shandong, they will appoint him as the governor of Shandong Province and the commander of Shandong security. For the new offensive, Chen Tiannan was shocked at first when he heard the news that the independent division troops were stationed in the Heze area, and then he was relieved.

He thought to himself that there is nothing wrong with dealing with the Communists in normal times, and all the Communists in his team are China hands, and they usually appear as Chinese. How about himself? However, he still ordered the troops to strengthen their guard, and sent a large number of spies to go deep into the surrounding areas of Heze to spy on the movements of Li Honggang's troops. He had already prepared for the worst. If the fish dies and the net breaks, it cannot be slaughtered by others.

After the troops stationed in Heze, the capital, they did not continue to advance. Li Honggang looked for an opportunity to take action against this armed political force that pretended to be anti-Japanese, but actually had close contacts with the Communists. For this reason, Li Honggang sent out all the special warfare units assigned to him. It would be best to capture a few Communists who were around Chen Tiannan alive, and get the evidence. Good reason.

It's easy to give orders, but difficult to execute them. The Communists around Chen Tiannan all hold the title of staff officer in his team. They live in seclusion and don't usually show up. Juye had no chance for several days, which made Li Honggang helpless.

Forcibly fighting, without sufficient reason, will also cause opposition from the people in southern Shandong and lose popular support. This battle is not worth the loss. At a critical juncture, Chen Tiannan's thousands of well-trained armed forces launched a sudden attack, which would be a disaster for all the troops of the Independent Division in Shandong. Li Honggang thought for a few days, but there was no good way.

He had no choice but to report the situation to Tang Qiuli, the division commander at the Zhengzhou headquarters, explaining the difficulties he encountered. Tang Qiuli's call back was very simple, just six words, "Exercise your powers," Li Honggang suddenly realized, yes, he is The chairman of the Shandong provincial government officially appointed by the government, and the commander of the Shandong Garrison Command appointed by the Yellow River Basin Theater Command, all the military and political affairs of Shandong are in their own hands.

Once he opened his mind, Li Honggang quickly formulated countermeasures. In the name of the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and the commander of the Shandong Garrison District, he sent an official document to Chen Tiannan. Wan, you are eyeing our Shandong covetously, and there is a tendency to invade on a large scale. In order to carry out Chairman Jiang’s call for the entire nation to resist the war, all local armed forces within the administrative jurisdiction of Shandong shall be incorporated into the troops under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Garrison Command. Unified designation and unified command.

The civil affairs of various places are managed by officials appointed by the provincial government to unify taxation, concentrate manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and prepare to meet the Japanese attack. Every place that receives official documents spontaneously arms, immediately counts the number of people and weapons and equipment, registers them, and gathers them in designated places. The location will be inspected by personnel from the Provincial Police Headquarters.

At the end of the official document, a time limit was set, and it was stated that if a certain local force refuses the inspection of the provincial garrison headquarters and the management of officials appointed by the provincial government, it will be regarded as a violation of the central government's decree, and the provincial garrison will send troops to Forcibly confiscating the weapons, disbanding the team, and holding the leading figures accountable. All the consequences arising from this will be borne by the other party. Li Honggang knows that Chen Tiannan will never hand over the human gun, and forcing him to do it is also one of his intentions.

This official document is very powerful, and it immediately pinched Chen Tiannan's veins. In the final analysis, he is a local force that took advantage of the chaos. He has no national government or any official appointment. It is a spontaneous act. Shun", he is not yet a bandit who gathers in the mountains and forests and fights with open fire, so he can ignore any bullshit official documents.

After Li Honggang issued the official document, he did not move. He wanted to see how Chen Tiannan, a diving traitor, would deal with his own official papers. As long as he moved, there would be flaws exposed. He only needed to capture a few of the traitors around him alive. , everything came to light, and stripped off his veil of false anti-Japanese and real traitor, Li Honggang secretly sighed, the teacher is really amazing, he won the first opportunity with one word, now, it's Chen Tiannan's turn to have a headache.

Chen Tiannan really had a headache. It hurt so much that he wanted to kill people and set fire to him. Holding the official document he had read countless times, he was running around in anger. Some shit like Chairman Li and Commander Li came out of nowhere. He came here by himself, but he couldn't find any faults in the big picture, Chen Tiannan really has nothing to do, but there is one thing, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to hand over the team, without the human gun, there are still some fools ?

His old chief Han Fuju Chairman Han is an example. If the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands are still there, Lao Jiang dares to kill him?The secret agents of the Communist Party around him, after learning about this incident, gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Chen Tiannan pinned all his hopes on these senior police officers.

There is only one result of the discussion, you can't sit still and wait for the people from the independent division to clean up yourself. This official document is aimed at you, commander. Take action immediately, hold an armed riot around Juye, take down Jinan, and go to Cangzhou. The troops of the Great Imperial Army responded and pulled the team to Hebei, Chen Tiannan gritted his teeth and could only do so.

*** The secret agent reported the information to the intelligence headquarters of the dispatched army, and soon received an order to agree to hold an armed riot in Juye, Lunan. You must do your best to assist Mr. Chen Tiannan in the success of the riot. At that time, the imperial army stationed in Cangzhou will do Corresponding countermeasures were taken, and Chen Tiannan was awarded the designation of "Shandong Special Column of the Great Army North China Dispatch Army". [

This time, Chen Tiannan is determined to get on the chariot of the Communists. His ambition to rule Shandong can only be realized through the Communists. Neither the National Government nor Lao Jiang can give him these things. Not to mention Tang Qiuli, the highest military and political officer, came directly to kill him. Chen Tiannan's troops, sharpening their knives, secretly dispatched to the Dayi and Longgu lines between Heze and Juye, preparing to block the independent division from entering Juye. troops.

One secretly went to Pingyin and Feicheng, preparing to attack Jinan, open the passage to Cangzhou in the north, and mess up Tang Qiuli's rear in Shandong by the way. This was the plan of Chen Tiannan's senior officials. The team should leave the ground in Shandong quickly and go to the area controlled by the Japanese army to avoid the fate of being encircled and wiped out by the superior forces of the independent division. It is incredible to fight Jinan.

In fact, the Intelligence Headquarters of the North China Dispatched Army did not believe that Chen Tiannan's thousands of guns could make a big name in Shandong. What about the more than 100 million imperial troops? It's cheap, since the value of continuing to use it has been lost, the investment of the imperial army in him must be recovered no matter what. It doesn't matter if Tang Qiu is separated from the rear of the Yellow River defense line and messed up, at least part of the energy of the Chinese devil can be involved.

This is the true mentality of the head of the Japanese intelligence department. The Japanese knew that the riot was a one-shot deal. Only Chen Tiannan, who was full of confidence, was kept in the dark. He always believed that with his well-trained and well-equipped With a strong team, plus there are *** people as high-level participants, and the imperial army to support them, it will not be a problem to fight out of Shandong, and if they come back, they will be the masters of Shandong!
