The Republic of Heroes

Lao Jiang suddenly sent Chen Cheng's eleventh division, and Yang Xiaoou believed that he had no good intentions.In fact, it is very clear. First, the conspiracy to let Liu Zhi's first army pick peaches by transferring away from the 57th Division did not succeed.The second is that the situation in Songhu has improved again. Lao Jiang probably also realized that the ** team was not dominant in the Songhu battle, so he transferred another elite of his lineage, Chen Cheng's No. 11 Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

Yang Xiaoou had also heard about Chen Cheng's reputation for a long time. Within the Kuomintang, he was known to be competitive and not as conservative as Liu Zhi.As long as the Eleventh Division enters the Songhu area, if Wu Xiaoliang doesn't resolve the Songhu war as soon as possible, he will definitely intervene in it, and the situation will be bad at that time.

Yang Xiaoou had several thoughts in an instant, he believed that Wu Xiaoliang must have seen Jiang Zhongzheng's intention long ago.

"Lao Jiang wants to pick peaches again, Junzuo has to make a decision early!"

Although Wu Xiaoliang was angry, he couldn't bear to think that Lao Jiang had the ability to pick this peach smoothly.First of all, the prestige of Lao Jiang in this life is far inferior to his previous life, because in his previous life, Lao Jiang won the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang gave full support, and the two warlords Yan and Feng were forced to go to the field, so the whole country belonged to him.But this life is different, the Central Plains War was abruptly interrupted by the outbreak of the Songhu War, and he did not reverse the crisis in his decision-making, but instead avoided Xuzhou and Luoyang, which has already been a disadvantage in public opinion.

Furthermore, Zhang Xueliang, his most powerful ally, lost all the three eastern provinces and most of Hebei. As the chairman of the Nationalist Government, the Chairman of the Military Commission did not act for a long time, which made his reputation plummet.Only the battle in Shanghai was unbeatable, but the Shandong army was the main force. If he picked peaches regardless of his appearance, the raging mouths of the world could drown him.

But what if Lao Jiang really doesn't care about the long talk?This may not be the case.It seems that the negotiations with the Japanese must be resolved quickly, otherwise Wu Xiaoliang really planned to measure the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs Kijuro Koshihara for a few days first.

"Give power to the Japanese side, and meet at Xuxing Town at noon tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Yang Xiaoou: "Brother Yiru, you must keep an eye on the Japanese these days to prevent them from making any changes."

According to common sense, the victory or defeat on the battlefield will ultimately determine the number of bargaining chips on the negotiating table. Although the biggest hole card in my hand can be studded directly, and he is firmly settled, this does not mean that the Japanese will submit obediently, at least on the battlefield. It's not impossible to get back some face.

But then, Yang Xiaoou's analysis of the situation through the information fed back from the battlefield left Wu Xiaoliang a little confused.

"Jun Zuo, news from the front line, the Japanese army's battle line has been fully contracted again this morning. Many strongholds have been abandoned, and only key areas are being defended. All signs indicate that the Japanese army's desire for war is gradually disappearing!"

"This is not in line with common sense! The three divisions of the Japanese army joined forces in Shanghai. Although the initiative is not light, but after all, the strength is strong, and morale should have a short-term recovery. Why did it drop sharply instead? Is there any sudden change in Shanghai? event?"

Wu Xiaoliang suddenly thought of the information he had received before. A few days ago, when the confrontation between the two armies was at its most tense, the Japanese army dispatched a whole brigade from the front line and returned to the urban area. Did something really happen?This unusual transfer must have something to do with it, and even the overall shrinkage of the Japanese front has found a reasonable explanation.

……

Xuzhou has entered a state of martial law. Apart from groups of soldiers, it is difficult to see citizens in the market.The whole city was shrouded in uneasiness and fear.Rumors began to circulate in the city a few days ago that the Japanese army had already occupied the entire Hebei Province, and even the vanguard of the Kwantung Army and the North China Dispatch Army had arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, and they would be able to cross the river and go down the river in a few days. Xuzhou was naturally the first to bear the brunt. As a major transportation hub, it was bound to face the Japanese army directly.

At this moment, Jiang Zhongzheng's staff could not sit still for a long time, and they all persuaded him to go south and return to Nanjing. After all, Wu Xiaoliang had once again pushed the Beijing-Shanghai front to the urban area of ​​Shanghai.Nanjing is still very safe for the time being.Moreover, the Japanese army that had entered Zhejiang before had also shrunk to the north. Generally speaking, the occupation of Jiangnan is developing towards a better and better trend.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhongzheng not only disagreed with returning to Nanjing, but wanted to go north to Luoyang, claiming that he must hold the defense line of the Yellow River and never allow the Japanese to go further south.Regardless of whether Lao Jiang's move is true or not, it has won him a lot of points in public opinion.After a few days of exaggeration and fermentation by newspapers and public opinion, the story of the leader sacrificing himself to defend against the enemy spread across the country, as if only Chiang Kai-shek was the savior of China, and only he could save the Chinese revolution.

But in fact, he just said a few words and made some gestures. As for the move to go north to Luoyang, he hasn't gotten up until today.

On the contrary, Zhang Xueliang, who was in the isolated city of Beiping, was not treated so well. Because he lost the entire three eastern provinces and one Rehe without firing a single shot, he had already attracted countless infamy.All of a sudden, the title of General Non-Resistance fell firmly on the head of Young Marshal Zhang, but it was still polite to say that he was General Non-resistance, while some newspaper articles directly called him a traitor and a traitor.

Zhang Xueliang's national hatred does not want to resist, and why is he willing to wear the hat of a non-resistance general, but he has to be responsible for the [-] Northeast Army, and he resisted rashly without the support of the Nanjing National Government and the people of the whole country. It could be that the lives of these [-] good men were sacrificed in vain, but that Jiang, who claimed to be the leader of the Chinese revolution, would hide in a dark corner of Xuzhou and laugh, and even celebrate that the Japanese eliminated a major domestic enemy for him.

With so many worries, Zhang Xueliang was timid. In the end, almost all the Northeast Army retreated in Pingjin and Pingjin, and let the Japanese army go south and almost swallowed the entire Hebei. human hand.His efforts to support the situation in Pingjin can be regarded as the last struggle for the current situation. If the Nanjing Nationalist Government does not send reinforcements, he really does not know how it will end.

Hearing that the Japanese army was sending more troops to North China, Zhang Xueliang had already aggressively assumed the posture of crossing the Yellow River in the south, but Zhang Xueliang knew that as long as Pingjin was still in his hands and stuck in the land of North China like a nail, Japan would not dare to let it go. Going south with all hands and feet, all these actions may be just a show, but who is this show for?
