Under Chang Kaishen's arrangement, after the He Mei agreement, the word "Anti-Japanese" finally appeared in the newspapers in Chang Kaishen's controlled area, which is really gratifying and congratulatory!

Chang Kaishen began to call together celebrities from all walks of life, and found a bunch of "democratic patriots" from the people and prisons. He promised them to go to Taiyuan on behalf of the Nanjing National Government to lobby Li Runshi. The idea of "anti-Japanese war" was once again published in newspapers.

Don't look at Chang Kaishen's previous "war calculation", he will be able to far surpass the Red Army in October, and then counterattack-that is completely "nonsense" to cheer up his subordinates, even he himself does not believe it.

At the beginning of September, in order to keep the tungsten mines in Jiangxi, the main force of his troops fought a fierce battle with the Cantonese Army in Jiangxi. Although the victory was miserable, this victory consumed a lot of troops and resources in Jiangxi, and the strength of the Hubei area could not be reduced. increase.

What Chang Kaishen never imagined in his dreams was that when the "friendly people" he sent out were still running on the train, on October [-], the anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising, all the borders between the two armies in Henan and Hubei , Hundreds of thousands of Red Army rushed south frantically, attacking Hubei Province in an all-round way.

As Hubei Province's important towns north of the Yangtze River, Hanyang and Hankou were immediately targeted by the Red Army.

The Red Army was on the northern front, had just finished fighting the Japanese army, and without even taking a breath, launched a full-scale offensive against Chang Kaishen's troops on the southern front.

There is an important railway in Hubei: the Ping-Han Railway, which runs directly from Beiping to Hanyang-Hankou.With the help of the railway, it took only one and a half days for the Red Army going south to directly attack the city of Hanyang and Hankou.And on the twelfth day, Hanyang was surrounded.

Guarding Hanyang is still the "old friend" 25th Division of the Red Army!

Although this thousand-mile horse was backed by the Yangtze River, it was held back by the arsenal in Hanyang this time.His former teacher Guan Linzheng was still on trial at the Nanjing Army Prison.

Guan Linzheng can train soldiers and fight wars, but his biggest shortcoming is that he can't be an official and a man, and his enemies are everywhere.In the Shanxi campaign, when the Kuomintang army was defeated everywhere, he gave up Henan and fled, but he was able to keep most of the main force of the army. As long as the aftermath was handled well, it would not be so serious that he had to go to the military law office to drink tea. , the problem is that he has offended too many people in the past.

Guan Linzheng graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and his immediate boss is Chen Cheng, the boss of the Civil Engineering Department.When Chen Cheng served as the deputy commander of the 1928th Division of the National Revolutionary Army in 11, Guan Linzheng was the head of the 11st Regiment under the 61th Division.At that time, the commander of the 11th Division was called Cao Wanshun, who was originally a local warlord in Fujian.Following Chiang Kai-shek's secret order, Chen Cheng recruited officers from Whampoa to crowd out Cao Wanshun in order to gain military power.Chen Cheng asked Luo Zhuoying, chief of staff of the 11th Division, to discuss with Li Mo'an, Guan Linzheng, Xiao Qian and other regiment leaders to expel Cao Wanshun, and recommended Chen Cheng as the commander of the 11th Division.Guan Linzheng had no political savvy and was straight-hearted. He said: "Little Chen is not necessarily better than Cao Wanshun, he may be worse than Cao Wanshun", clearly expressing his opposition to the exclusion of Cao Wanshun.Luo Zhuoying didn't dare to hide anything, and reported the truth to Chen Cheng.Chen Cheng hated Guan Linzheng to the core. After successfully excluding Cao Wanshun, Chen Chengqiu, who became the commander of the 11th Division, settled accounts later, and transferred Guan Linzheng, who had just been promoted to brigade commander, to the new Fifth Division as the deputy division commander. The department severed the relationship.

In 1929, Guan Linzheng was promoted to the deputy commander of the Major General of the New Fifth Division of the National Revolutionary Army at the age of 24.At that time, the commander of the New Fifth Division was Liu Ying, an old subordinate of Shaanxi revolutionary Li Jicai.Most of the New Fifth Division are Shaanxi green forest swordsmen, with lax military discipline and poor combat effectiveness.One day Liu Ying was ordered to go to Nanjing for business, and two regiments of the New Fifth Division ran up the mountain with weapons and became bandits.Guan Linzheng, as the deputy division commander and acting division commander, was caught off guard.The leader of the two rebellious regiments was Gong Bingfan, who went down the mountain to meet Guan Linzheng in private, saying that we left the army because Liu Ying acted unfairly. I support you as a teacher.

Facing the pie falling from the sky, Guan Linzheng remained indifferent. He did not agree with Gong Bingfan's opinion, nor did he take any measures to put Gong Bingfan back.Later, Gong Bingfan directly contacted his superiors, quelled the mutiny, and was promoted to the brigade commander of the new fifth division.Liu Yingyu's subordinate Wufang was dismissed, and Guan Linzheng was promoted to acting commander of the New Fifth Division.Don't look at Guan Linzheng's promotion, but this teacher is really useless.The officers and soldiers of the whole division saw him as an enemy. Liu Ying's cronies believed that Guan Linzheng deliberately joined forces with Gong Bingfan and others to carry out a mutiny in order to expel Liu Ying and seize military power; Good boy, you made Mr. Guan embarrassing overtly and secretly.Guan Linzheng was a loner in the New Fifth Division, and he was outnumbered with two fists, so he simply resigned.Where did Guan Linzheng go after resigning?Taught the 2nd Division to be the head of the regiment, and was demoted from major general to colonel.

When Guan Linzheng served as the commander of the 25th Division (Qianliju Division), Du Yuming and Zhang Yaoming, two Shaanxi fellows, were his brigade commanders.Later, Du Yuming was promoted to the deputy commander of the 25th Division because of his meritorious service in combat.Du Yuming is a well-known good old man in the Kuomintang. He has not blushed with a few people for decades. He is brave in battle, has a strategic mind, and does not take corruption. He is simply the best in the Kuomintang.But Guan Linzheng believed that after Du Yuming became the deputy division commander, he took care of everything by himself, managed the troops too strictly, and was suspected of seizing power, so he had trouble with Du Yuming everywhere, and the relationship between the two was also extremely bad.

This time Guan Linzheng was arrested by the Military Law Office, but Chen Cheng was actually putting eye drops on his shoes.When Guan Linzheng was waiting for his sentence in the Nanjing Army Prison, Du Yuming was his replacement.

A tiger must be guarded in Hubei, a crucial place.If Guan Linzheng is a tiger, Du Yuming is at least a wolfhound even though he is a little bad.The problem is: this wolfhound is too obedient.

Chang Tuzi knows that Hanyang is of great significance, and he must guard it when he gives an order.With Du Yuming's obedience in the Huaihai Battle in history, knowing that it was a pit, he had to bite the bullet and jump. At this time, he was only a small "acting teacher" of the 25th Division, and he could only hold a tough battle in Hanyang. It's Hanyang.

What Du Yuming didn't expect was that the Red Army's strategic goal was very clear: the first battle was to win Hanyang and Hankou, the important areas of the Yangtze River, and cut off the Yangtze River waterway to complete the "closed door" and beat dogs.Then wipe out all Jiang's troops in Hubei, north of the Yangtze River.

On the Hanyang front alone, 15 troops and [-] tanks were invested at one time.It took two days to reach the banks of the Yangtze River. With the help of the railway, the Red Army could easily transport heavy weapons. On October [-]th, the Battle of Hanyang was launched.Before the war started, a row of field artillery imported from the Soviet Union was set up on the riverside to block the riverbank, and then the first goal was to attack the wharf and cut off the waterway of the Yangtze River.

Realizing the meaning of Hanyang, Chang Kaishen was shocked, and hurriedly asked the defenders in the city to quickly transport away the machines of Hanyang Arsenal through the waterway.However, the only ferries in this period were all given priority to pulling the property of high-ranking officials.The Red Army's siege cannons sounded on the first day of the siege.

Hankow was captured by the Red Army on October 25th.On the Hanyang side, the [-]th Division was defeated twice after passing through Shanxi and Henan.Half of the main veterans ran away, and the land reform made the soldiers lose their will to fight. The old chiefs were in prison and everyone was panicked. Even so, they still caused a lot of trouble for the Red Army attacking the city.

Although the 25th Division worked hard to resist for a while, on October 25th, Hanyang City was breached after only three days of defense. The entire [-]th Division was wiped out, and Du Yuming was also captured.

With the blockade of the Yangtze River waterway, the troops of Gu Zhutong and Xue Yue, who were still trapped in Chongqing and Hanzhong, now all became the Changchun defenders in the Liaoshen Campaign. They completely cut off land contact with the Nanjing government and could not return home. up.

For the next ten days, although Chang Kaishen jumped up and down and used all resources to shout the slogan "Stop the civil war and go to the outside world" to the Taiyuan Red Army, he still couldn't stop Li Runshi's Red Army from sweeping across the part of Hubei north of the Yangtze River. The soldiers came to Chongqing.As for the troops of Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the suppression in Hubei, the entire army was wiped out——

It was a huge stupid mistake to let Liu Zhi guard Hubei.Historically, before and after the Battle of Huaihai, there was a saying in the national army: "Xuzhou is the gate of Beijing (Nanjing) and Shanghai, and a tiger should be sent to guard it. Even if a tiger cannot be sent out, a dog should be sent out." , and finally sent a pig."

The tiger refers to Xue Yue, and the dog refers to Du Yuming. There are many controversial candidates for the former two, but the last "pig" is Liu Zhi who is generally recognized by historians.

Then this "pig", as the commander-in-chief of the "alternative little Huaihai" campaign in this time and space, did nothing from the beginning to the end, and easily lost all the troops in his hands-this man is worthy of the blessing of the national army In the name of the general, before his troops were wiped out, he "crossed the river in white clothes" in a small boat and fled to the south bank of the Yangtze River with only a rabbit.

Then, the main force of the 30 Red Army marched westward with all its strength. On November [-], as the Red Army transferred the air force from the northern front to Hubei to assist in the battle, the Battle of Chongqing broke out.Gu Zhutong, who had no intention of fighting, was attacked by the Red Army after only two days of defense. Gu Zhutong led thousands of remnants out of Chongqing. After the Sichuan Army deliberately gave way, the remnants passed through the Sichuan Army's territory and detoured out of Sichuan from the inner line of Central Sichuan. Flee to the Hubei area south of the Yangtze River.

He ran happily by himself, but suffered for Xue Yue in Hanzhong.Xue Yue's life in Hanzhong has been extremely difficult, and after the troops entered Hanzhong, there was not a day when they could rest in peace.During this year, the Red Army who competed with him for Hanzhong developed from a few hundred guerrillas at the end of 35 to harass and harass, and by October 36, it had become an elite Red Army force with a scale of thousands. Frequently launching offensive operations at the regiment level to remove outlying strongholds.

Like Gu Zhutong, he had long wanted to abandon Hanzhong and leave, but Chang Baldy refused!He was stuck here abruptly for a year, until he was hit in the face by his opponent Fei Longqi.On Gu Zhutong’s side, the Sichuan Army made some arrangements, they were willing to give way, and there was still a way to make a detour—the price was that when his thousands of people escaped from Sichuan, almost all of them had empty hands, and their guns and ammunition were used as “road money.” Hand it over to the Sichuan Army.

But Xue Yue can't, there are only two roads from Hanzhong to Sichuan.He claims to have 2 soldiers, and the number of soldiers he can command is indeed more than [-]. The problem is that the real elite only has more than [-] people from his own family, and the rest are local soldiers.It is almost impossible to bring these local militias out of Hanzhong.Moreover, after the Red Army took Chongqing, they were already staring at his troops. As long as he dared to make a move, he would immediately attack them halfway.

If the Red Army hadn't been negotiating with the Sichuan Army during this period, it would have fought over a long time ago, but it was only a matter of time before Xue Yue, the "tiger (maggot) of Hanzhong", ended up in the end.

During this period, although Chang Kaishen used all his strength to save Xue Yue's tribe, he even organized troops to attack Henan and play a game of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.But the subordinates had already lost all fighting spirit at this time.The [-]th army uniforms sent out pretended to advance towards Kaifeng for more than a hundred kilometers, and then retreated collectively in fright when they reacted slightly to a partial division of the Red Army on the other side.

What made Chang Kaishen even more angry was that the Guangxi faction was still making trouble during this period. They colluded with the Hunan people and sent troops to Hubei in November, captured Wuchang at the end of the month, and joined forces with Li Runshi's Red Army in the Yangtze River" and divided up Hubei together.

After completely losing Hubei, Chang Kaishen, the "Chairman", became even more ridiculous. At this time, the territory in his hands was only Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui and a little bit of "residual border" in northern Fujian. Weaker than during the Central Plains War.

The newspapers published in Guangzhou have publicly ridiculed him as the "Chairman of the Four Provincial Committees".

In October, when the Chang family dynasty continued to weaken day by day, Japan was also in turmoil and chaos at this time.

The Special Mixed Brigade of the Sixth Division was annihilated in Suiyuan. The news of the elite "Yu Sui" of the imperial army with more than [-] soldiers was sent back to China, and the whole of Japan was shocked.

This was the biggest defeat the Japanese army suffered abroad after the end of the Russo-Japanese War.

When the military department was still clamoring for "severely punish violent expenditures", the Hirota cabinet, which had just taken office for less than half a year, resigned and resigned in the midst of this fiasco. He was received by Hayashi Mijuro.After he came to power, his policy program was to "enrich national defense armaments and increase production"-in short, it was to carry out more aggressive armaments and then invade China in an all-round way.

However, these personnel changes will not be completed until November.After the news of the big defeat, the angry Japanese people surrounded the Japanese Prime Minister's residence, protesting and making troubles.Shouting for Heaven to punish the country's thieves, and holding government officials responsible for the big defeat.

Nearly [-] imperial army elites were killed in a few days. It is not enough for a Hirota cabinet to resign collectively to vent their grievances.After the Red Army announced the list of captives and the number of killed to the world, the whole of Japan was shrouded in anger and sadness for a while. In the Kumamoto area where the Sixth Division was born, almost every household in October was crying.

As a scapegoat, Ishihara Waner, a "grassroots major general" who was in charge of the entire campaign planning and had no backing, was the first to be kicked out to take the blame.

Within a day, he was demoted from major general to major, kicked out of the military headquarters, and kicked into the reserve.The former "Manchurian and Mongolian heroes" have become a big joke.But the Japanese people did not let him go, and there were many people who clamored for him to apologize to the people by caesarean section.

On the front page of the Tokyo Daily, this headline was published:

"Ishihara dog thief, return my Sixth Division!"

PS: The war plot has been briefly mentioned, and the most important climax of this volume will be done next.

-------------------- Song of the Showa Restoration ------------------

"Song of the Showa Restoration" is a song composed by the Japanese navy general Takumi Mikami in the early Showa era.This song was composed in 1930; it is his only surviving work, and it is also a very famous right-wing song. In 1936, young officers of the Army sang this song to launch the 2.26 Incident, and it has been inseparably linked to the 2.26 Incident since then (ironically, its author is the Navy). [1]

Showa Restoration Song Stele

Showa Restoration Song Stele [2]

The February 1936 Incident, also known as the "Emperor's Ominous Incident" or "Ominous Incident", refers to a failed mutiny that occurred in the Japanese Empire on February 2, 26. Some young officers of the "Imperial Way School" of the Imperial Japanese Army led thousands of More than soldiers assassinated the ideological opponents and opponents of the "control faction" among the senior members of the government and the military. In the end, the coup was extinguished, and most of the direct participants were sentenced to death. The Dao faction thus reduced its influence in the military, while at the same time increasing the political influence of the leaders of the mainstream faction of the Imperial Japanese Army over the Japanese government.The 1930 incident was also the largest rebellion in modern Japanese history, and it was also an important event in the development of Japanese fascism in the 3s. [[-]]

On February 1936, 2, several young military officers led soldiers to various parts of Tokyo to carry out assassinations, and achieved considerable results (two former cabinet ministers were killed), and once occupied the center of Tokyo.However, the rebels failed to kill the then Prime Minister Keisuke Okada and occupy the Imperial Palace. They also failed to win the support of senior generals. Coupled with factors such as the emperor's anger at the coup, the rebels were unable to achieve power. replacement, and finally surrendered on 26 February. [2]

Different from previous similar cases where young military officers assassinated important government officials, most of the masterminds in the 19 incident were sentenced to heavy sentences.After a series of closed trials, a total of 40 rebel leaders were sentenced to death and 3 others were sentenced to prison.The power of the "Imperial Way faction" in the Japanese army declined, and the once popular activities in Japan to achieve political appeals through assassination ended, and the military's influence on government decision-making also greatly increased.
