Chapter 495: Reorganization Succeeded
In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, in mid-November, when the Northeast Army and the Central Army were still facing each other across the river in the Huai River Valley. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Northeast Naval Fleet, with more than 50 large and small warships, successfully broke through Wusongkou and destroyed the old fort position at Wusongkou under the cover of naval battleships and air force.
Tracing up the river, there was an air force opening the way, and the warships of the northeast with a tonnage of less than five or six thousand arrived at the waters of Xiaguan after a full-speed voyage of more than 10 hours in one day in succession at Zhenjiang and Jiangyin fortresses, and then began to land from Yanziji under the cover of the air force.
The city of Nanjing shook violently.
In the war hall of the Military Commission, the atmosphere was very solemn, and Chen Cheng persuaded bitterly: "Commission, the 1st Division is blocking the attack at Xiaguan, but the rebels' naval and air force firepower is too fierce, and the casualties among the officers and men are too great, so they can't hold out for long, so you better evacuate quickly." ”
Due to the rapid progress of the Northeast Navy, it was so fast that it did not even give the bigwigs in Nanjing City time to retreat.
If we had known the news two or three days in advance, we would have basically evacuated.
However, now that time is so short, it is impossible to withdraw if you want to.
You must know that the evacuation of Nanjing City is not just the end of the evacuation of Chairman Chiang with a team of guards, it is so simple.
This is the national capital of the national government, and government agencies and organs at all levels are to be withdrawn.
Of course, if Chairman Chiang is determined to withdraw with the guards alone, it is fine, but once he gives up the national capital, it is likely to be equivalent to giving up power.
The party-state bigwigs who have been thrown up, and high-ranking officials at all levels are likely to turn to Zhang Xinghan and directly reshuffle him, the chairman of the committee, and even expel him from the party.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang could not easily escape alone.
Bai Chongxi stood aside, his face was a little ugly, as the chief of staff, he couldn't guess the intentions of the Northeast Army. As a result, it was suddenly approached by the city, and the danger was extremely dangerous, and there was an unshirkable responsibility.
At this moment, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, hurriedly walked in, bowed his head to the chairman and whispered.
Chairman Jiang's face obviously became a little pale, and then he said to Wang Shihe: "Shihe, such an important matter, you don't need to just report it to me alone, say it to everyone." ”
Wang Shihe, who was bitter in his heart, opened the telegram and read: "Submit it to Chairman Jun Jian." Today's situation has already shown that the reorganization of the new government is the trend of the times, and the 40,000,000 people are extremely hopeful.
Agreed to the reorganization, ordered the central army and the Gui army in all localities to immediately stop resisting, and I should go to Nanjing in person. We will hold a reorganization meeting in consultation with you. ”
As soon as Wang Shihe's words came out, the scene was even more silent, and everyone's faces were very ugly. I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that if I said the wrong thing, I would incur the disaster of death.
They all set their eyes on Chairman Chiang, who was sitting in danger.
At this moment, another attendant came over with a panicked look. The report said: "The first division has been routed by the rebels, and the Shimonoseki pier has been captured by the rebels. Yanziji was lost, and now the rebels are encircling in two directions to the north and south of Nanjing.
In addition, a large number of rebel airborne troops were also found in the west of the city, and the airborne landing was underway. ”
This report by the chamberlain made the mood of everyone present change rapidly, and some high-ranking generals who still had a fluke mentality had their hopes dashed, and their faces were like ashes.
After a long time, Chairman Jiang sighed helplessly and said: "That's it, the matter has come to this, call Zhang Xinghan and let him come to Nanjing." ”
24th year of the Republic of China, November 15.
The army, navy, and air force of the Northeast Army besieged Nanjing, forcing Chairman Chiang to agree to Zhang Xinghan's proposal for reorganization.
At the same time, the Central Army in the direction of the Central Plains and the Huai River was ordered to stop resisting.
Zhang Xinghan also ordered all units of the Northeast Army to stand by on their posts, and on 16 July, the Marine Corps and the Airborne Brigade took control of the Nanjing Airport and the defense of Nanjing.
On the same day, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and other generals flew to Nanjing.
The next day, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren and other localities also flew to Nanjing.
Zhang Xinghan also sent people to contact the Red Army leaders Mao Gong, Zhou Gong, Zhu Gong, and others, who had just completed the Long March and arrived in northern Shaanxi, and invited them to come to Nanjing to attend a meeting on the reorganization of the new government.
History said that the second KMT-CCP cooperation.
Three days later, on November 19, the reorganization meeting officially began.
After nearly 10 days of discussion and study, the strength of the warlords, all political parties, and personages without party affiliation in various localities finally fully agreed to Zhang Xinghan's proposal to hold a national vote and form a new national government.
In a real sense, we will implement the Three People's Principles of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation.
Two months later, the national vote was basically over, and the result of the ballot was that Zhang Xinghan was elected chairman of the Military Commission, and Jiang Gong, Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Gong were vice chairmen.
Yan Xishan is the executive president, and Mao Gong and Zhou Gong are the vice presidents.
Zhang Xinghan is a person without party affiliation, and he became chairman of the NPC National Committee solely because of his tremendous military exploits and prestige.
In addition, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Peng Dehuai, Liu Bocheng and other Kuomintang generals were elected members of the Military Commission.
Han Fuqu, Liu Xiang and other local warlords were selected as ministers of the Executive Yuan, and Liu Gong and Deng Gong were also selected.
After the reorganization of the power organs was completed, the Central Military Commission and the Executive Yuan began to carry out a unified reorganization of the armed forces in various localities.
At this time, the Northeast Army, the Jinsui Army, the Shandong Army, the Guangxi Army, the Sichuan Army and other central armies and miscellaneous armies across the country had a total number of more than 4 million and 30 people in the army and more than 100,000 in the air force and navy.
There are more than 450 people in total.
Among them, the Northeast Army created by Zhang Xinghan accounted for more than a quarter of the army, and the navy and air force were all of them.
After the reorganization, the title of the army was still not the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China.
The army was reorganized into four major fronts and one dispatch army.
They are, the Northeast Front Army, that is, the First Front Army, the commander-in-chief of the Front Army is Huang Xiansheng, the deputy commander Liu Guodong, the chief of staff Zhang Tingshu, and the deputy chief of staff Shen Ke.
The North China Front, that is, the Second Front Army, was commanded by Chen Cheng and the deputy commanders-in-chief, Liu Bocheng and Hu Zongnan.
The Central Plains Front, the 3rd Front.
The Southern Front is the Fourth Front Army, and the commander-in-chief is Xue Yue.
Each side of the army has an army of millions, of which. The main areas under the jurisdiction of the First Front were the four northeastern provinces and the Goryeo Peninsula.
The main area under the jurisdiction of the Second Front Army was north of the Yellow River and within the Outer Great Wall, including Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei, the five northwestern provinces, Pingjin and other vast areas.
The main areas under the jurisdiction of the Third Front Army are the Central Plains and the western regions, including Henan, Anhui, and Shaanxi. Tibet, Xinjiang.
The area under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Front Army is mainly south of the Yangtze River, including the southeast coast, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu provinces, as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces in the southwest.
Due to the unequal strength of the various armies at the present stage, Zhang Xinghan issued an order after deliberation by the Central Military Commission that the troops in various regions should be transferred and complemented each other.
Among them, the troops of the Central Plains and Jiangnan Front armies mainly moved north, and Zhang Xinghan's original Northeast Army was almost not mobilized.
A dispatch force refers to the more than 600,000 naval, army, and air forces stationed on Japan's Kyushu Island.
The commander-in-chief was Wang Yizhe, who was specifically responsible for the battle against Japan. and to secure the control of Kyushu Island at this stage.
In terms of the Air Force, the Air Force Command was established, with Gao Zhihang as the commander-in-chief of the National Air Force, followed by Liu Cuigang.
The former Northeast Air Force was split and established directly under the four front armies.
Inside the city of Nanjing. Zhang Xinghan was meeting with Zhou Gong, a representative of the Red Army.
As a traverser, Zhang Xinghan still respects the great men in history.
"Chairman Zhang, I understand the righteousness of the country and the country. Ethnicity first. On behalf of our Party and all proletarian comrades, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Zhou Gong reached out to Zhang Xinghan in a friendly manner.
Zhang Xinghan hurriedly shook hands with him and said, "Gong Zhou has won the award." Xinghan acted on the basis of his own conscience, and all I wanted was the rejuvenation of China, national independence, national unity, and territorial integrity. ”
…………
At the same time, Chairman Chiang was in Tangshan's official residence.
After the reorganization, Zhang Xinghan did not take any measures against Chairman Chiang, but Chairman Chiang was still depressed and lived alone in the Tangshan Hot Spring Villa, ignoring political affairs.
Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and other henchmen also accompanied him.
"Bench, the situation is like this, don't worry too much, the body is the most important." Chen Cheng persuaded.
"The rhetoric is right, I look at what Zhang Xinghan has done, after the reorganization, there is no sign of dictatorship, and there are no major changes to the units of the former Central Army, and everything is still reasonable. Let's take a look at the point. He Yingqin nodded.
Two months later, the national vote was basically over, and the result of the ballot was that Zhang Xinghan was elected chairman of the Military Commission, and Jiang Gong, Li Zongren, Yan Xishan, and Zhu Gong were vice chairmen.
