Chapter Eighty-Nine: Jinzhou is in an emergency
When Feng Tian returned to Datong, telegrams from John and William arrived one after another, asking if there was any problem with Feng Tian's original transportation route, and the cargo ship from the United States was about to arrive in Vladivostok. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If there is a change, for example, the Japanese army cuts off the route, then it will have to be diverted to Tianjin to unload.
In fact, taking Tianjin Port is the best route.
Feng Tian's psychology is too dark, so he has to ask John to set the line on the Far Eastern Railway, go through Qiqihar to Zhengjiatun, Tongliao, and then enter the western occupation area.
In this life, due to the interference of Fengtian, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army was almost lost, and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Korea was wiped out in the north of Mukden, and the area around Mukden was already a no-man's land, and it would not pose a threat to the northern anti-Japanese army for the time being.
At present, the railways in the northeast and the north are still relatively complete, and almost all in the south are gone.
John was reluctant to take this route, not to mention the route, and it would be even worse if the road was closed by snow.
However, Feng Tian still insisted on taking this transportation route, and John couldn't resist this guy, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
The goods arriving from Germany were much more flexible, and Feng Tian told William to transport them by land via the Trans-Siberian Railway and from Tianjin Port by sea and land, and let William do it himself.
Why do you have to take the Trans-Siberian Railway, Feng Tian obviously wants to create a false impression that there is a shadow of the Soviet Union behind the anti-Japanese military junta in the north.
Obviously, this guy didn't have a good heart at all.
If it happens, the Japanese will definitely know.
The spy network of the Japanese all over the Northeast was not given for nothing, and such a huge volume of freight from the Soviet Union in the north to the northern anti-Japanese military defense area could not arouse the vigilance of the Japanese, then it would be a strange thing!
Of course, this matter was also Feng Tian's whim, and as for whether it could cause the two robbers to fight, Feng Tian did not have much expectations.
After arranging the affairs here, Feng Tian had to hurry back to the front line, because the Japanese army was almost about to have a new military operation.
On October 10, 1931, the Kwantung Army sent 12 bombers to attack Jinzhou.
This is a little different from history, the time is two days late, and there is not much time, and what needs to be done is still done.
After this military action, Japan's Minister of War Minamijiro claimed to Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki that "it was the last resort to take action in self-defense because of the anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese army."
After that, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Hayashi Mijuro, issued a public statement declaring that "Zhang Xueliang has gathered a large number of troops in Jinzhou, and if he is ignored, he may cause damage to Japan's rights and interests." In order to resolve the Manchurian-Mongolian issue as soon as possible, it was necessary for the Kwantung Army to expel the Jinzhou regime. ā
Listen, this is not only the logic of a robber, not to mention the invasion of the territory of the world, but also to say that others threaten him, completely ignoring the fact that Zhang Xueliang is stationed on his own territory.
On the fifth day after the outbreak of the "September 18 Incident," Zhang Xueliang set up the Fengtian Provincial Government Administration and the Northeast Frontier Commander's Office in Jinzhou to handle important military and political affairs in the northeast one after another.
Jinzhou was under the noses of the Japanese army, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to ignore its existence.
At the same time, the Japanese army was also worried that Zhang Xueliang would use Jinzhou as a base for counterattacking the northeast, and it was expected that he would be driven away.
Although the Kwantung Army suffered a serious setback under the hands of Fengtian, this did not change the Japanese army's ambition to seize the northeast.
Jilin was already in the hands of the Japanese army, and after the retreat of the Volunteers, the area of Mukden would also be in Japanese hands, although it was already deserted.
Heilongjiang could not be taken for the time being, and the Japanese army mainly considered the influence of the Soviet Union.
If the Japanese army attacked Heilongjiang, it must first know the attitude of the Soviets.
Obviously, this will have to be delayed until next spring, and the threat of the Jinzhou Northeast Army will be solved first.
However, on the question of whether or not to resist, there was a clear disagreement between Chairman Jiang and Zhang Xueliang of the Southern Government.
The private communication between these two brothers is impossible for outsiders to know, at least later generations have different opinions about it, and the truth of the matter is confusing.
Probably in Zhang Xueliang's heart, as long as the southern government does not decide to fully mobilize and implement a national war of resistance, Zhang Xueliang will not confront the Japanese army alone.
Zhang Xueliang believed that resisting the Japanese invasion was a matter for the government and the whole country, and should not be undertaken by the Northeast Army.
It was proved later that Zhang Xueliang finally took the initiative to give up Jinzhou.
In the final analysis, Zhang Xueliang's policy of non-resistance has considerable ties with Zhang Xueliang's warlord background.
We don't know if Zhang Xueliang has a little patriotic sentiment in his heart, after all, he is a young man, and it stands to reason that he should not lack patriotic passion. However, what he did was really quite fucked up, and the whole of Tohoku was ceded to the Japanese.
Strictly speaking, since the September 18 incident, he Zhang Xueliang has been a sinner of the Chinese nation, and the policy of non-resistance has inflated the ambitions of the Japanese, otherwise, there would not have been a large-scale invasion of China by the Japanese army.
After the Huanggutun incident, Zhang Xueliang succeeded as the commander of the Northeast Security, and inherited the 200,000 Northeast Army from his father Zhang Zuolin, which was the foundation of Zhang Xueliang's fortune.
The young marshal after the "Northeast Change of Banner" was even more energetic, and the 100,000 Northeast Army of the Central Plains War entered the customs, which achieved Yang Wei's goal.
After that, Chairman Jiang tried his best to win over Zhang, marry Jin Lan, and entrust him with important tasks, and the northeast was not a problem, and the entire situation in the north was affected by it.
The strength of the 200,000 Northeast Army has played an unparalleled effect here, and Chairman Jiang knows that Zhang Xueliang must also know the weight of it.
Zhang Xueliang believed that the September 18 Incident was only a local conflict, so he did not want to expand the incident by giving truth to the Japanese army because of resistance at this time.
So, why did Zhang Xueliang cause the situation in the northeast to expand?
Because, he himself believed that if the incident expanded and the central government was not fully prepared to resist Japan, then the Northeast Army, which was on the front line against Japan, would be in a dilemma.
If the Northeast Army resists, it will undoubtedly confront the Japanese army, and if it fights alone, our small enemy is strong, and the Northeast Army's losses will never be small.
After all, Zhang Xueliang was still a warlord, and at that time, there were constant disputes among the people, and the government army was vigorously fighting in Jiangxi and other places.
At this time, Chairman Jiang practiced the policy of "first reassuring the interior before attacking the outside world," and the result of this policy was that the internal contradictions and the division and confrontation between the warlords were deepened.
Whether it was Lao Jiang, Zhang Xueliang, or other warlords, they were all well versed in the mystery of military strength, so they all wanted to maintain their strength as much as possible under the actual situation of China at that time.
Zhang Xueliang believes that even if the national war of resistance is launched, no one will probably go all out when fighting against the enemy, which is the real reason why Zhang Xueliang did not listen to Lao Jiang's orders and finally took the initiative to retreat from Jinzhou and other military important places in the northeast.
Zhang Xueliang believes that if it is a national war of resistance, then the pressure on him Zhang Xueliang will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, in the face of the attack of the Japanese army alone, the Northeast Army would not gain more than it lost, and it could not even rule out the bad situation of facing a flank attack from the front and rear.
As for the revenge of killing his father, hehe, he Zhang Shaoshuai can't take care of it.
He was well aware of the strength of the Japanese army and the consequences of the Northeast Army fighting alone, and Zhang Xueliang's purpose was nothing more than to maintain the superiority of the Northeast Army.
The land was lost, and the people suffered these consequences, probably he didn't even think about it, don't expect Zhang Xueliang to have too high consciousness.
What's more, Chairman Jiang was hoping that the Northeast Army would be weakened, and Zhang Xueliang would not resist when Lao Jiang was not determined to mobilize the country's manpower and material resources to fight against Japan.
Each has its own calculations in their hearts, but in fact, this is the current situation in China.
Even if the spontaneously organized Fengtian Volunteer Army achieved good results on the battlefield and gathered and annihilated the main force of the Japanese Second Division, Zhang Xueliang was not moved by it, and still stood still.
Therefore, the attitude of the southern government is to avoid war, Zhang Xueliang looks at the face of the government, since Lao Jiang has not changed, then, he Zhang Xueliang will not change.
Fengtian resisted bravely in Mukden, and his desire to wait for the arrival of reinforcements in the Guannai was bound to fail.
