From to 1935 2020

After Kang Ze left, Chang Kaishen picked up a telegram on the table, but it was a telegram from Yang Yongtai, which roughly stated that he had recently successfully raised 500 million silver dollars for the Chairman in Hubei.

Of course, Chang Kaishen understood how the fifteen hundred silver dollars came from. It must have been scrapping land locally.

"Changqing, I know your hardships and the scolding you received! If you are a member of the party and state, and everyone is as dedicated to the country as you, Changqing, how can the situation deteriorate to such a situation!"

After putting down the telegram, Chang Kaishen thought of those people who are now in the prisoner-of-war camp.

"Junru, if I had listened to your advice back then, I would have made you suffer..."

Besieged on all sides, when the autumn wind was bleak, Chang Kaishen reflected for three seconds rarely, and then a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"No, everything is because Sun Yuanliang misled me, and this fellow misunderstood me! My plan was ruined! If it weren't for this fellow, I would have already blossomed in the center, besieged from all directions, wiped out Xu Xiangqian, and captured Li Runshi alive! This dog thief ruined my big business, I will kill him !"

When I thought about it, it was the New First Army who was marching in Yushe and did not get close to Wei Lihuang's troops in time, which led to the tragedy.Chang Kaishen couldn't help but picked up the ink brush in his hand again, and wrote seven "kill" characters on the paper in a row.

Seven days later, the Nanjing Army Court sentenced Sun Yuanliang to death for the crime of "fleeing in battle, losing the army and humiliating the teacher".

What Chang Kaishen didn't know was that the current situation of the "beautiful" Wei Lihuang he was missing was not as bad as he imagined.

After the Battle of Shanxi, army commander Wei Lihuang, division commanders Song Xilian and Leng Xin, plus more than 400 Huangpu students, all became prisoners of the Red Army, and some even entered the palace for the second time.

The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and Wei Lihuang and others are very clear about the Red Army's captive policy, but they are not afraid.But this time, the opponent's captive policy made them unable to understand.

When the Red Army was still besieging Taiyuan and Linfen, Chen Geng, an old acquaintance of the Red Army, came forward to manage these prisoners of war.

Compared with Li Kenong's deliberate arrogance in front of Zhang Qun, Chen Geng was quite polite when facing these Whampoa brothers.

When he came over, he also brought a bunch of middle- and lower-level officers of the Red Army with him, and then he took these prisoners of the Central Army and began to ask for advice on combat tactics, commenting on the gains and losses of both sides, without the arrogance of the victors at all.

During the period, Wei Lihuang and other senior officers were taken by him to visit the tanks of the Red Army and the captured Kuomintang tanks—of course Huang Ke's was not here.The ten national army tanks whose engines were scrapped and paralyzed by the brown sugar, the "similar" type four CV33s have been disassembled and maintained, the engines have been repaired, and the walking ability has been restored.

Now the eight tanks are parked there in two rows, and Wei Lihuang and the others only faintly realize that the two sides seem to use the same body after distinguishing the suspension.

After a few days, Wei Lihuang and the others got used to being captives.Seeing the four tanks modified by Huang Kemo, Wei Lihuang remembered something, and said to Chen Geng with a wry smile:

"Brother Shukang, are these the tanks you used to rob Changsha? You have caused me so much suffering!"

What Wei Lihuang said, of course, refers to the zero-yuan purchase incident in Changsha by Huang Ke in the name of Wei Lihuang last year.All of a sudden, Wei Lihuang, who had a good reputation, was given the notoriety of "General Locust".

Chen Geng replied cheekily:

"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. The good and bad of your army are mixed, and the black sheep are like crucian carp crossing the river, so everyone in the world believes it."

The Changsha incident, and who did it specifically, is currently one of the top secrets in the Red Army.Chen Geng only knew that it was a certain daring comrade who led dozens of people to pretend to be the Central Army to perform this astonishing feat.He didn't know who it was, but he was fascinated by it in his heart.

Chen Geng waved his hand, and several tank soldiers standing beside the tank quickly got into the tank, and then the eight CV33s started to move slowly.

"You and I both know that this thing is an armored chariot, which is called a tank in the West, but it is the enemy you and I will often encounter on the battlefield in the future. I bring you to see this thing today, but I want to discuss it with you. Research, how to fight against this thing when encountering it on the battlefield in the future."

Wei Lihuang was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

"Brother Junru, don't you understand? The full-scale invasion of China by the Japanese pirates is imminent. In the hands of the Japanese army, there are hundreds of times more tanks..."

Speaking of this, Wei Lihuang looked at Chen Geng, his face changed, and after a long while, he sighed:

"What a Lee Yun-seok..."

He's a smart guy who knows everything.

The eight tanks, followed by a group of Red Army soldiers, then began a charge and assault exercise against a position.

On the side, more than [-] officers of the Kuomintang army stood on the high platform and watched the scene where eight tanks gathered together, galloping like lightning, breaking through the defense lines of the infantry positions with an unstoppable momentum.

In the next few days, these officers of the Central Army's direct line troops mixed with the tank soldiers and officers of the Red Army, discussing combat tactics every day, how to fight tanks, how to manipulate tanks to fight infantry positions and other military topics.

In addition, Chen Geng also took out a bunch of military documents that had been prepared a long time ago - all the textbooks on the infantry tactics of the Japanese army, and then spread them out to discuss tactical confrontation with these talented Whampoa students of the Central Army. .When necessary, soldiers of the Red Army and prisoners of the Central Army will be called to conduct tactical simulation exercises.

Everything feels like returning to the youthful years when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated and everyone was still in the Whampoa Military Academy more than ten years ago, participating in the revolution with enthusiasm.

The camp where everyone was detained was not strictly guarded, but at this time, none of the Whampoa officers wanted to escape, because everyone unconsciously forgot their identities as prisoners.

The Red Army deliberately avoided some sensitive topics, and these "White Army officers" also deliberately avoided the positions of both sides.

Everything is limited to the purest tactical discussion.

When there was no discussion, Wei Lihuang and others were sent back to their own camps, and then based on the discussions, they, together with the instructors of the Red Army, gave military lessons and training to the soldiers below.

If it weren't for the different costumes of the two sides, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that these were the two armies that killed each other on the battlefield more than a month ago.

All the atmosphere is so beautiful...

During the period, Wei Lihuang sighed and said to his subordinates:

"This Li Runshi is so bold!"

Everyone bowed their heads and sighed in silence.Why the Red Army showed such an attitude, of course they can understand.

"Is this the appearance of the so-called master of the king?"

On June [-]th, Li Runshi and Director Wu, who Wei Lihuang had been waiting for for a long time, finally appeared.The two parties meet, shake hands, and gossip.

They were all talking about the future Sino-Japanese war and the cooperative war of resistance. At the end of the topic, Li Runshi told Wei Lihuang that they were all released.

Like the officers and soldiers of the 49st Division and [-]th Division who were released in Tianshui, when they were released, all of these former Central Army members became much stronger-not only did they eat better than before, but also during the time they were prisoners , The officers on both sides also trained them well.In terms of combat quality, it must have risen a lot compared to before.

When we parted, the atmosphere was rather sad.The Red Army returned all the seized pistols in a big way—of course, there were no bullets, and then parted ways.

On the way to leave, Song Xilian said to Wei Lihuang:

"Military seat, I think our soldiers, when they meet the Red Army in the future, they will probably be like those soldiers of the New Army..."

Wei Lihuang couldn't stop sighing, and felt even more regretful.Because of the limited number of trains, the number of soldiers who can be repatriated each time is limited. After freedom, Wei Lihuang did not return to Nanjing immediately, but took his subordinates to "investigate" around Taiyuan City. The Red Army also deliberately did not embarrass him. Watch whatever you want.

Soon Wei Lihuang discovered that the Red Army was in the midst of a "general mobilization".

In fact, the entire Shanxi Province has now been mobilized.In all areas controlled by the Red Army, all young and strong laborers must undergo simple military training as long as it is slack.Every village has established its own militia organization.

Not only that, the entire city of Taiyuan is undergoing rapid fortification construction.

Before the Shanxi campaign broke out, Yan Xishan desperately wanted to turn Taiyuan into a fortress.After the Red Army took over, he continued his plan.Not only that, but it has even been greatly strengthened.

Bunkers are being built everywhere, forts are being built and tunnels are being dug everywhere.The workers in the military factories are currently working in three shifts, and they have received instructions: as long as there are enough raw materials, military production cannot be stopped for a moment.Countless munitions have been continuously manufactured and sent to various places.

Air-raid shelters and dugouts were being dug everywhere in the city, and trenches were also dug continuously in the few "plain areas" outside the city.

"Do they really believe that within a year, Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China will break out?"

With doubts arising from seeing this scene behind the scenes, more than 5 prisoners of war of the Central Army, including Wei Lihuang, were released one after another by the Red Army within a week.It was then transferred to the south of the Yangtze River by railway.

There are two main reasons why it is so much less than the 10 people claimed by the Red Army.

One: Zhu Peide voted for the Communist Party. After staying with his old classmate Zhu De in Yushe for a month, he led his subordinates to "revolt". Then those subordinates who were willing to follow the Red Army followed the Red Army, and those who did not want to go home Pay travel expenses or let the Central Army take them away.But in fact, more than 7000 of his remaining 5000 Third Army troops became the Red Army and were reorganized.

The second is, for example, the prisoners of the 84th Division and the 32nd Army. They are all miscellaneous troops. The former is from the Shaanxi Army and the latter is from the Jin Army.As for the group of prisoners who entered Jin, a large number of "replenishment brigade" prisoners of war recruited from the Henan area were released or incorporated earlier, and the prisoners who were unwilling to join the Red Army crossed the Yellow River and were collectively "sent" back to Henan up.

After Chang Kaishen received this group of people, he quickly reorganized them.As for Wei Lihuang and others, when welcoming them back, Chang Kaishen was like Duke Mu of Qin after his defeat in the Battle of Qin Jin Yao, weeping as he greeted his teachers and generals, declaring that the defeat was not due to the lords, but to my bad command. ...a rare first active mobilization takes the blame for a rout.

No one was punished, not to mention all the officials were reinstated, and they received orders to reorganize and expand the army. Only "Sun Changleg" was shot as a criminal.With enough officers and more than 5 soldiers with actual combat experience, Chang Kaishen believes that as long as he is given another three months, he can regain a 20-strong army. The teacher of tigers and wolves.

After the performance, Chang Kaishen announced his resignation as chairman of the Nanjing Nationalist Government the next day, and it was the third time in his life that he "resigned".

But Wei Lihuang, who knew what was going on, still reported everything he saw in Taiyuan to Chang Kaishen.Wei Lihuang understands that just like crying to see his teacher is just a show, his voluntary resignation this time is just a political trick to retreat.

"Don't be fooled, don't be deceived by his rhetoric, handsome, then Li Runshi loves to play this kind of tricks."

Chang Kaishen naturally disagreed.The Japanese are going to invade China in an all-round way. Have you asked the British for their opinion?Will the Americans agree?

He only cares about one thing now, after he resigns this time, how long will this group of people last before they come to beg him to come out.The reason why he delayed his resignation until Wei Lihuang and others were released was because he ate all the favors of "rescuing the Central Army prisoners of war" and "pardoning them for the crime of defeat".

Chang Kaishen's electrification to go to the field this time is of course a fake, he is making progress by retreating.He knew too well the virtues of the surrounding warlords. Without him as a common enemy, the group of scumbags in the south who clamored for "mutual protection of the five provinces" would soon break up the alliance due to uneven distribution of spoils.

As for his successors, the "President Wang" who watched the tiger for a long time, and Hu Hanmin, the old man of Tianyi... They scolded Chang Kaishen fiercely, but when Chang Kaishen suddenly dumped the pot and said he would quit , everyone was stunned, this group of people was also full of rubbish except for their lip service.

On June 26, Chang Kaishen publicly announced his resignation, and then took his wife's cronies to Lushan Mountain to "live in seclusion".At this time, the Nanjing Nationalist Government was like a bird, with the Red Army in the north, a few or five youngsters in the south, and a serious financial deficit internally. In fact, no one wanted to take over the pot.

After throwing a lot of mess to the opposition in the party, who knows that just two days after he left, something happened to the opposition.

It turned out that it was Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, and Sun Ke who jumped out excitedly to "succeed". When the officials were divided among the spoils, Hu Hanmin probably fell down with a cerebral hemorrhage during the meeting because of excessive excitement... No After two days, the fart will be separated. (Note: In history, Hu Hanmin died at this point in time, and the cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage caused by excessive excitement in chess competition)

In the next seven days, the entire Nanjing National Government fell into chaos without a leader.

Chang Kaishen, who was hiding on Lushan Mountain, watched their jokes coldly.Although he is not the chairman of the committee now, everything is like a reappearance when he left the field for the second time.Except for him, no one can command the Ministry of Finance and the army. Whoever sits in this position is just a puppet, let alone unable to cope with the harsh situation in front of him.

Having learned from the last time, even Wang Jingwei didn't want to go up at this time.

Then at the party meeting here, a funny scene happened.

Everyone is "letting the virtuous", everyone pushes me, I push you, but no one wants to sit on the hot-ass throne of "Chairman"-now this throne can control China now, only seven incomplete ones are left Save, but whoever sits on it has to deal with a bunch of big troubles that can drive people crazy.

-------------------- Chapter 157 The Wind Blows Suiyuan-------------------

From the end of March to the beginning of May, a series of eye-catching changes in China's political situation also fell into the eyes of foreign forces.

The countries that are most concerned about the great changes in China are Japan, the Soviet Union, Britain, and the United States.

The first is Japan.

On March [-], when the Red Army crossed the Yellow River and launched the Eastern Expedition, Emperor Hirohito was still alive.At that time, he was lying on the bed with only a little more than one-third of his lung function remaining, breathing oxygen, and giving "random orders" that no one would carry out.

During this period, the Japanese military department was making a fuss about establishing a new emperor.The dying Huangdao faction snatched Prince Yongren's thigh, while the control faction saw that it was too late to make a move, but chased after him to hug the leg.

After the two families tossed and tossed for a long time, Hirohito finally "died" in time happily under the expectations of all.

The old emperor's funeral, the new emperor's enthronement, and the transfer of power took another month of tossing before things stabilized.But at this time, the Shanxi campaign was basically over, Chang Kaishen was defeated, and the loss of control over the Hebei region was a foregone conclusion.

Yong Ren, who had successfully become the Empress of Heaven, was naturally overjoyed to see Chang Kaishen's "central" forces being defeated and their strength greatly reduced.It's just that during this period, he first had to deal with the second graders of the Huangdao faction.

Although the last struggle of the Huangdao faction was the first to go to Yongren's thigh, they were already at a disadvantage in the power struggle of the Japanese upper class, and they could bring too little benefit to Yongren.More importantly, the blame for the "death of the former emperor" is still on them.

Although everyone in Japan now basically understands that on February [-]th, there was a mysterious third force that fished in troubled waters in the dark and brought things to a point where it was out of control, but the original group of pupae of the Emperor's Dao faction will inevitably become The greatest sinner who could be found so far was sent to the altar for punishment.

Their final fate is actually similar to that of another time and space Emperor Showa. The people who should be killed have been killed by Showa long ago, and many more were killed. The rest were all rushed to China to serve as dispatched troops Future cannon fodder.

Regarding this point, Yongren actually has no opinion. The only problem is that when the military department handed over the results of the deliberation on the source to him, Yongren suddenly thought of the "unpredictable" Chinese he saw not long ago. The book he wrote - he has read all four editions, and the book was recommended to him by Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple.Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple is very optimistic about Huang Ke, claiming that this person's future is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he must not be underestimated.

At that time Yongren was taken aback.

"Today's result, he actually foresaw it very early in advance!"

In the four versions of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" (Dark Fate), there have been prophecies about the [-] incident, especially in the special edition for Bei Yihui, he specifically mentioned the rebels of the Emperor's Dao School The similarity between their claims and the coup demands they planned to make when the incident happened was terrifying.

For a moment, Yongren thought that Huang Ke was the biggest backer of the Huangdao faction and the gang of rebels, but of course this was impossible.What surprised Yongren was that after the incident failed, the military's handling of the Huangdao faction was actually within the scope of his prediction.

The only place where his prediction was wrong was that he did not expect that Emperor Showa would die shortly after the mutiny.Another reason why Yongren dare not underestimate Huang Ke is because Xiyuan Temple Gongwang attaches great importance to him.

After the February [-] Mutiny ended in a "tragedy", the Japanese side spent their utmost efforts to investigate the third force behind the scenes who was stirring up shit and pouring gasoline.

In charge of investigating the truth, Tegao has controlled all the aircraft of Japan's Hainan Airlines and Army Aviation, and the army and navy have also been subject to strict follow-up investigations. One of the unexpected benefits brought by the high-pressure atmosphere is the period of April, May and June. Time, whether it is Japan, or the second graders of the Chinese dispatched army, all have become much more honest.
