Glorious Mission 1937

The assassination of the Japanese army completely destroyed the good situation of China's war of resistance. Now all forces are concerned about one issue, whether Lao Jiang is dead or alive. The major warlords and foreign governments have called the Nationalist government, demanding that they immediately disclose the old Jiang. Chiang's news.

However, the national government has never had a definite answer. However, since December 12, the defenders in various places have stepped up their defenses, and some sites that were previously contested by the two sides have also voluntarily retreated.It can be seen from this that even if Lao Jiang is not dead, the situation is likely to be extremely bad.

Such a rare opportunity, of course, the Japanese will not miss it. At the same time when TGK launched the attack, the No.11 Japanese Army crossed the Xinqiang River again and launched a full-scale attack on the battlefield. This time the Japanese army obviously did not intend to fight. Just leave, but prepare to completely occupy Changsha, and look at the opportunity to march to Chongqing.

At the same time, the Japanese army in Myanmar also assembled 4 divisions, equipped with aircraft and artillery to launch an attack on northern Myanmar, trying to defeat the expeditionary force in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army were very calm and did not take any action. Instead of taking the initiative to launch an offensive, they once again withdrew their troops.

Neiji Okamura and Yoshijiro Umezu had fought against Chen Feng, and they knew that the Chinese general had a very tough character. This time, Tegao Ke not only launched an attack on the Chinese leader, but also launched indiscriminate attacks on his family, causing Chen Feng Yan Xishan's father-in-law died, according to Okamura Neiji and Umezu Yoshijiro's understanding of Chen Feng, he would definitely not let it go.Once Chen Feng wanted to take revenge, it would definitely be a shocking move.Therefore, the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army took the initiative to shrink their troops, preparing for the storm under Chen Feng's troops.

The fact is just as Okamura and others thought, after receiving the urgent telegram from Hua Rong, Chen Feng was furious and immediately returned to Guisui from the front line. Send a report to let her return to Guisui immediately.

Although the incident happened only one day ago, Yan Changxi, who was far away in the Nanyang Territory, already knew that something happened to Yan Laoxi due to the Japanese army's deliberate publicity.So after receiving Chen Feng's telegram, he took a special plane and returned to Guisui immediately.

Yan Laoxi died.And he died unjustly.He had already left his mansion when the Japanese army attacked. Unfortunately, the Japanese army used a suicide attack this time. When the plane crashed into Yan's mansion, a shrapnel the size of a palm hit Yan Laoxi's left rib.It is then inserted directly into the body from the left rib.Although several well-known military doctors in World War II tried their best to rescue them.But it's still exhausting.The old man left without even saying goodbye to his family.

Once Yan Laoxi died, the entire World War II zone was completely in chaos. Some senior officials of the Jinsui Army advocated sending troops immediately to avenge the general.Some advocated waiting for the order of the Military Commission to ensure the safety of Shanxi, and some people with ulterior motives wanted to take the opportunity to seize power, and some people believed that the most urgent thing right now was to prevent Yan'an from taking the opportunity to expand its territory and engage in The hearts of the entire World War II zone were floating.

In addition, Chongqing is too busy to take care of itself now, and there is still time to manage the World War II zone, so the situation inside the Jinsui Army became complicated overnight.

Taiyuan. Headquarters of the World War II District Commander.

Yan Xishan's death was so sudden that he didn't even make any arrangements for his funeral. Yan Laoxi had five sons and one daughter, all five sons were born to his wife, and one daughter was his younger brother's adoptive son. However, Lao Xi's five sons Now there is no adult, the eldest son Zhigong Shao died, the second son Zhikuan died in Chengdu at the age of 24, the third son Zhixin died young, and now only the fourth son Zhimin and the fifth son Zhihui are alive. Even the older fourth son died this year. But at the age of 15, he couldn't support the Yan family and the Jinsui army's stall at all, so where the Jinsui army went became a concern of the officers of the Jinsui army.

In the large conference room of the Commander’s Headquarters, the main seat was vacant. Yang Aiyuan, Fu Zuoyi and others sat down in turn. At first glance, there was no difference from the previous meeting. His eyes were red, as if he had just cried. Everyone wore this white flower on their chest, and a white cloth wrapped around their arms, filling the entire meeting room with a depressing atmosphere.

As before, the meeting was presided over by Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, the deputy commander of the World War II zone. Yang Aiyuan suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Stand up!"

All the officers in the conference room stood up quickly.

"salute!"

"The ceremony is over, seat!"

Yang Aiyuan calmed down his grief a little bit, and said loudly: "Everyone, the despicable Japanese assassinated the Commander-in-Chief, and the Commander-in-Chief didn't even wake up once when he left..." Speaking of this, Yang Aiyuan's voice became sobbing, and the grief was beyond words.

The officers in the conference room are all the backbone of the Jinsui Army, and they were all single-handedly promoted by Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan has the grace to know everyone.

Moreover, although Yan Laoxi was a bit stingy, the same was true for Chen Feng, his son-in-law, but this old man knew how to win over his generals, so almost all the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Department were extremely saddened by Yan Laoxi's death.

It took a while for Yang Aiyuan to recover, and continued: "Although we don't want to believe that the commander-in-chief just left, but the matter has come to this point, so what if we don't want to believe it? The commander-in-chief left in a hurry, and there is no funeral. There is time to make arrangements, so those of us who are subordinates must let the commander-in-chief go away with peace of mind, and take care of his funeral!"

"Although the commander-in-chief is gone, we still have to live. The flag of the Jinsui Army cannot be overthrown. We need everyone to make up our minds about where we are going. Tell us, where is the way out for our Jinsui Army?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Aiyuan said again: "We are all brothers in arms fighting side by side, and we are all people who can give our backs to each other on the battlefield. It is related to the future of the entire Jinsui Army. If you have anything to say, please let us know." You can speak freely!"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. In the end, Sun Chu, who belonged to the Dingxiang faction, stood up and said: "The commander is dead, how wronged he died, we have to avenge this revenge, so I suggest that the commander of the county party committee take revenge. Let's talk about the way out after the commander-in-chief's revenge is avenged, what do you think?"

"It's not right, the commander was killed by the Japanese, just like the commander Zhang in the Northeast, there is no problem with this. But now that the Japanese are so powerful, it is definitely not possible to kill them in three or two days, so first It is not appropriate to talk about the way out after revenge!" No.30 Fourth Army Commander Yang Chengyuan retorted.

"Then you mean that we won't avenge the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief has kindness to each of us. Just after he died, we are here to discuss who to defect to and how to divide the family. Are you worthy of his old man? "Sun Chu roared loudly.

"Sun Chu, don't fucking scold your mother here, whoever said that the commander-in-chief will not take revenge, who dares to say that, I will be the first to chop him up! But you have to see clearly, the Japanese are now The whole of Southeast Asia has been occupied, and we can wipe them all out with our Jinsui Army's foundation. Do we still have a way out after revenge?" Yang Chengyuan said loudly.

"Cuiya (Sun Chu's words), Longquan (Yang Chengyuan's words) are right. We must avenge the commander-in-chief's revenge. There is no doubt about it, but now the Japanese are indeed what we, the Jinsui Army, can afford. You all know the situation in the past two years. If it weren't for my uncle's help, the flag of the Jinsui Army would have been cut down by the Japanese. In addition, the domestic situation is turbulent, and the life of the old man is uncertain. We must make plans early!" Yang Aiyuan Sighed and said.

Xu Yongchang, who was sitting under Yang Aiyuan, stood up suddenly and said: "Everyone, the purpose of our meeting here today is to find a way out for the entire Jinsui Army and the brothers who fought devils with the commander, and put it in front of us. There are three ways, the first one is to find someone within ourselves to replace the commander-in-chief, and carry the flag of the Jinsui Army, presumably the Chongqing side will not embarrass us."

"The second way is to open the door to Chongqing to take over Shanxi, and then the Nationalist government will reorganize the Shanxi-Sui Army. This is justifiable. After all, we are still staring at the number of the National Revolutionary Army."

"The third way is to turn to the north. Since the completion of the Northern Expedition, the country has been unified, the Central Plains has competed, and the Chinese political situation has been divided into four. I thought that no one in this world will ever succeed outside the four armies of Jiang, Feng, Yan, and Li. A group. However, which of our sons-in-law did it, started as a security group, rose strongly in the cracks between the four major groups and the Japanese, and now occupies Suiyuan, Chahar, Hebei and most of Outer Mongolia. There are more than a million soldiers, and there are large industries and territories overseas. Even the young lady has no fewer troops than our Jinsui army. Such people are indeed worthy of our support. It doesn't matter, my uncle will not treat us badly!"

"Of course, there are two ways of voting for the Republican Party and voting for Japan. I think no one will do this. The reason is very simple. I think you all know it. I won't say much. The choice depends on you. own!"

Like other warlord troops, although the Jinsui Army was pulled up by Yan Xishan, it was not all monolithic inside.Most of the officers of the Jinsui Army are from Shanxi, but they are divided into three small factions: the Wutai faction, the Dingxiang faction, the Naoxian faction, and the Jinnan faction.Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan and others are representatives of the Dingxiang faction, while the Nao County faction is headed next time, and the Jinnan faction is a new faction, with Fu Zuoyi, a young and strong officer, as the leader.

Although this person is an outsider next time, he has a good character and is a rare general and honest official, so his prestige in the Jinsui Army is second only to Yan Laoxi. Now that he says this, no one has objection. (To be continued..)
