Age of Rebirth

Chapter 730

At the end of the extraordinary plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held in Wuhan, Tang Qiuli's proposal to move the capital to the Southwest was unanimously approved, and the accompanying capital during the war was set in Chongqing, Sichuan. The drama of internal power reshuffling came to an end, and all the characters appeared on the stage, all of them regarded it as a rare opportunity for the re-emergence of the faction's forces, but because of the existence of Tang Qiuli, a super heavyweight, no one got the chance .

I don't know that Sheng Shicai, the governor of the Northwest Department of the Communist Party of China, Ma Hongkui, the chairman of Ningxia Province, and Ma Bufang, the chairman of Qinghai Province, were shot at the top of their heads. Wang Jingwei and the E family also suffered a crushing defeat. The number one general, Lu Zixiao, was dismissed from his military and political positions by Tang Qiuli. Whether it can be restored to its former glory is still unknown.

Taking this opportunity, after the meeting, Generalissimo Jiang made another big move, replacing all the leaders of the party, government and military in Hubei Province. Hubei Province also took the opportunity to catch it. Tang Qiuli had to admire that Generalissimo Jiang was really a master of chaotic warfare, and an expert in taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

The next step is to determine the person responsible for the relocation of the capital. This is another extremely important task. After being nominated by Chairman Jiang and voted by all the Central Committee members, the preparatory committee for the relocation of the capital was formally established. Among them, he served as the chairman and vice chairman, Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the Independent Division and commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy commander of the Independent Division and commander of the Northeast Advance Command. The Ministry of Finance specially allocated a large sum of funds for moving the capital, and the use of this huge sum of money was of course the most trusted person of Chairman Jiang. [

On the other hand, Wang Jingwei, chairman of the national government, has no one on the line, not even an errand job, let alone an important position. From the perspective of outsiders, the relationship between the number one and number two people in the government has already been established. Between intimacy and tacit cooperation, otherwise, Generalissimo Jiang, who regards military power as his life, would not have handed over the post of Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses, together with his own family, the Central Army, to the number two figure Tang Qiuli. The third heavyweight, Wang Jingwei, is even more marginalized. What can he do as the chairman of the national government?

People who are familiar with the inside story of the state government, and the intricate and factional relations within the Communist Party, or those who have experienced ups and downs in official careers, and have often been secretly handed down by Chairman Jiang. The mystery is revealed, just look at the candidates for the military committee's former enemy commander's Nanjing camp, except for Tang Qiuli, who is not Chiang's confidant and absolutely loyal to the leader, can he listen to Tang Qiuli's words?

There must be a good show here. Before exercising his powers, Generalissimo Jiang wanted to evade Tang Qiuli, but he was bored in his stomach. No one dared to tell the truth. It was too late to go around. No. [-] and No. [-] Character fighting, those of us who are shallow in morality, should not get involved, otherwise, it is possible to be smashed to pieces. The errands of Vice Chairman Tang and Director Tang are not easy to do. In the future, there will be a good show up!

Tang Qiuli didn't care, and didn't pierce this layer of family papers. Although Chairman Jiang used means, it depends on who is in charge of the commander's battalion. The key is to obtain this important position and have the command to fight against Japan in an all-round way. When the time comes, these four players will all be pawns on their own chessboard, and the rules will dictate how they move. Losing him, the only worry he has now is that he doesn't have so many suitable candidates under his command to fill up the power vacuum in the future.

Tang Qiuli was very happy, smiling brightly. Being able to seize the affluent lands around Songhu and Jiangnan was his greatest achievement today. He really needed more affluent and more areas to expand his military power in the future and lay the foundation for manpower and resources. With the material foundation, Tang Qiuli once again saw the dawn of his ideals and became brighter by grasping the money bags in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After the meeting was adjourned, Chairman Jiang deliberately left Tang Qiuli behind, and held a family banquet at the chairman's temporary residence. Mrs. Jiang's wife Song Meiling also made an exception to attend. There were only three people. Although Chairman Jiang was serious, Mrs. Jiang's wife Song Meiling was a master at communication , the witty remarks were like flowers, and the atmosphere during the banquet was warm.

Chairman Jiang has repeatedly lamented that he hid in the rear to enjoy the blessings, but entrusted Tang Qiuli with such an important burden. He couldn't bear it. , and only a young, energetic, talented and courageous person like Qiuli can be worthy of such a heavy responsibility. Everything in North China is enough to prove this point. When I am old, the world of the Republic of China will be like Qiuli. young people.

In the words, I couldn't help sighing and sighing, almost crying, and repeatedly told me that if I have any difficulties, I must look for the central government, and I will support it without reservation. We are now people in the trenches. Tang Qiuli's face Solemn and rigorous, he nodded his head to accept the words of Generalissimo Jiang, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that he handed over the Central Army to his own hands, afraid that he would lose his old capital, and was so distressed that he shed tears?

The guests and the host had a good time, at least on the surface, it was filled with the atmosphere of a family reminiscing about the old days. Chairman Jiang and his wife personally sent Tang Qiuli to the door, watching Tang Qiuli's car go away with complicated eyes, Tang Qiuli finally relaxed After coming down, the meal was really tense. He mobilized all his energy to deal with Chairman Jiang's intangible words, true and false. Mrs. Jiang seemed to be concerned about insinuating. Words, a good Hubei dish on the table, can't remember the taste, it's a pity, Tang Qiuli shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't believe that this was just a family dinner to reminisce.

The car got out of Chairman Jiang’s mansion, the street scene in Wuhan in June, the roads are full of flowers, colorful, the air is filled with the attractive fragrance of flowers, mixed with the water vapor blowing from the Yangtze River, it goes straight into the nostrils, on the street, fashion The young woman was already wearing a summer dress that revealed her curves, holding a flower umbrella, and flaunting through the market like a butterfly. Tang Qiuli didn't feel all of this, and her mind was still immersed in the family banquet just now.

Chairman Jiang handed over the power of commanding the entire army to himself, and it was definitely not because he helped him a lot in moving the capital, so that he would not be controlled by Wang Jingwei, and the two seemed to be at odds with each other. It has been a long time since all the old man's recent arrangements are not aimed at himself and weaken the potential threat to him. Whether there is any attempt to weaken his own strength with the help of the Communists this time, the only way to wait until the Central Army takes the next step Only after some action can it be confirmed.

The car was still halfway, when it ran into the car of Chen Feng, the communications director of the Independent Division. Chen Feng got into Tang Qiuli's car and handed him two urgent telegrams, one from Feng Jiwu himself, Niangziguan Garrison Corps , On the front line of Shanhaiguan, the battle with the Japanese army was fierce, and the Kwantung Army continued to increase its troops to the front line of Shanhaiguan. At present, the strength of the Kwantung Army has exceeded that of the independent division, and Feng Jiwu is facing great pressure.

One day on June 21, the Kwantung Army launched five brigade-scale attacks on the front line of the Shanhaiguan Pass. Japanese chariot units also participated in the attack. The number is unknown. In addition, the Kwantung Army Air Force also participated in the attack on Feng Jiwu Corps The bombing of the blocking positions, the Japanese warships moored in Liaodong Bay, also shelled the front positions in Suizhong. On that day, the casualties of Feng Jiwu Corps reached more than [-] people. At present, the fighting is still fierce, and all positions are still under control. in our hands.

The blocking front is firmly in the west of Liugu River, on the front line of Jianchang, Heishan, and Suizhong, which is more than [-] kilometers long. Please rest assured, the commander, there are still two brigades in the reserve team that are not in use. The entire Niangziguan Garrison Corps Soldiers, have the confidence and ability to complete the mission assigned by the division to stop the Kwantung Army's southward troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan. This is Feng Jiwu's guarantee to Tang Qiuli at the end of the telegram.

However, Tang Qiuli knew Feng Jiwu's character well. He was a person who was not easy to talk about difficulties. He had a ruthless spirit in his bones. The battle situation in the Shanhaiguan area of ​​Jidong was definitely not as easy as he said. Using flesh and blood to block the continuous stream of troops of the Kwantung Army, the land, sea and air combined three-dimensional attack to buy time for the troops in Tianjin. More than [-] people were killed and injured a day, nearly half of the brigade's troops. Such a consumption of troops, Feng Jiwu Can the Corps afford it?

One is a telegram jointly sent by Tang Qiusheng and Liu Tiehan from the front line in Tianjin. According to the deployment of the division commander, the independent division will clear the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Tianjin point by point from the five directions of southwest, west, northwest, north, and northeast. , At present, the attacking forces of various ministries have entered the outer positions of the Japanese army in Tianjin to a depth of 10 kilometers. The Japanese army has resisted tenaciously and refused to give up an inch. The fighting in Tianjin is fierce. In addition, according to the information sent by the Northeast Intelligence Station, the Kwantung Army has organized another The army, with a strength of about [-], was going to board a ship from Dalian and cross the sea to reinforce the Japanese army in Tianjin.

Tang Qiuli was in a state of disquiet, so there was no need to worry about the battle of Tianjin. The independent division had two main corps, Tang Qiusheng and Liu Tiehan, and two corps, Chang Feng and Yuan Jinghao, for a total of four corps in terms of strength and firepower to attack Tianjin and occupy an absolute advantage. Going to Tianjin is just a matter of time.

He did not limit the time to capture Tianjin. It was also to attract the strength of the Kwantung Army and reinforce the direction of Tianjin to relieve the pressure on Feng Jiwu's Corps. The key now is that Feng Jiwu's Corps is under great pressure. Troops, if the battle continues for a long time, Feng Jiwu's Corps will suffer heavy casualties. If the Kwantung Army cannot be stopped, the entire Tianjin campaign and even the plan to fight the Japanese army in North China will be in danger.
