Chapter 919: Gunshots at the Mansion
There are a number of Chinese and Western buildings with their own characteristics in the courtyard of the De'anli Residence, all of which are on the first floor and one on the bottom. //*http://bsp;
bsp; ββββ*//
This place is very secretive, and the courier doesn't know that the road is in the upper place, and the courtyard is heavily guarded, and only those with a special pass for a limited period of time can enter.
Building No. 101, where Chiang Kai-shek lived, was also a first-floor and one-bottom layout, and at this moment, not to mention the small building, even the guards in the courtyard could hear the scolding of Chairman Chiang and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang.
Chiang Kai-shek was defeated by the invasion of Linyi and openly announced the establishment of the Shandong Bureau of the Central Committee and the Shandong Military Region, and Zhou Fu, Zhang Liyuan, and Wu Hua told Yu Xuezhong that the secret telegram was just a fuse, and Zhang Xueliang became his target.
Zhang Xueliang was already angry, because Chiang Kai-shek was too unfair to the Northeast Army.
Originally, the Northeast Army had 300,000 to 400,000 troops, complete land, sea, and air forces, and was the most equipped in the country, and its arsenal could produce one battalion every day. After the "918" incident did not resist and withdrew from the northeast, the air force and navy suffered complete losses, and the troops were seriously scattered. Later, after the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War,
Encircled and suppressed Su Yue and other battles, and when they went to Sichuan to pursue the Central Red Army in the Long March, the Northeast Army still had about 160,000 troops.
After the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began negotiations, Zhang Xueliang was stabbed by Liu Yimin's remark at a press conference in Chengdu, "If I were Zhang Hanqing, I would have hanged myself with a rope a long time ago", and resigned to travel abroad. Chiang Kai-shek vigorously co-opted and divided the Northeast Army, and instigated the 106th Division, the 10th Cavalry Division, and the 6th Artillery Division of the Northeast Army
The 8th Brigade and Artillery Brigade defected from the Northeast Army and incorporated it into the Central Army system, and then took the opportunity to reorganize the Northeast Army, turning the big into small and the strong into weak, and reorganizing the Northeast Army into the first concave, the first introduction, the first Shao, the first said,
The 67th and the 2nd Cavalry Army, a total of six armies, revoked the numbers of several divisions of the Northeast Army that suffered large losses in the Great Wall War of Resistance and the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, and the numbers of the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions of the Eighth Route Army were the numbers used by the Northeast Army, and even the number of the 63rd Army formed by Ma Zhanshan on the basis of the Northeast Volunteer Army was also revoked, and only the first division was retained.
After the reorganization, the armies of the Northeast Army were reduced from the original Class A Army of the First Army and the Fourth Division to the Type B Army of the First Army, the Second Division, the First Division and the Second Brigade, and only the Second Cavalry Army was composed of the 3rd Cavalry Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 2nd Cavalry Division.
Three cavalry divisions of the 6th Cavalry Division.
The troops were also dispersed and stationed, and the eastern and northern China, southern Henan, northern Anhui, and Suyue were not subordinate to each other.
The Anti-Japanese War was prosperous, and the Northeast Army was in the case that Zhang Xueliang did not return to China and there were no dragons, the soldiers generously asked for help, bravely went to the national disaster, and Jing was the first batch of troops to be pulled into the battlefield and the Japanese army fought bloodily in the two major battlefields of the north and south, and washed away the shame of the Northeast Army's non-resistance with blood.
What chilled the officers and men of the Northeast Army was that Chiang Kai-shek was very unfair to the Northeast Army.
The first to be unlucky was Wu Keren's 67th Army. After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the army went to the front line of Dacheng in Hebei Province to fight with the Japanese army and cover the retreat of friendly troops, and was commended by the Supreme Commander's Department.
At the end of October, after the southern transfer to reinforce the Songhu battlefield, he was ordered to cooperate with Guo Rugui's 43rd Army to defend Songjiang, but the battle situation was not smooth, and the 43rd Army and the 67th Army suffered heavy casualties and retreated to Suyue. Wu Keren let the remnants of the 43rd Army retreat first, and when he led the 67th Army to cover the Suyue River, the 43-year-old lieutenant general Wu Keren was attacked by a plainclothes team of the Japanese army, and died gloriously, becoming the first lieutenant general to die on the frontal battlefield. In the Battle of Songjiang, the 107th Division of the Q7 Army was exhausted, and the 108th Division also suffered heavy casualties, and the army commander Wu Keren, the chief of staff of the army Wu Tonggang, the chief of staff of the division Deng Yuzhuo, the commander of the 322nd Brigade Liu Qiwen, the commander of the 321st Brigade Zhu Zhirong and Wang Xirui, and the vast majority of battalion, company, and platoon commanders were martyred.
What makes people angry is that Wu Keren did not turn a blind eye, and he and his 67th Army were slandered by propaganda organizations with ulterior motives as "Wu Keren led his troops to rebel, and the 67th Army surrendered to the enemy" Chiang Kai-shek took the opportunity to cancel the 67
The army number was reduced to the 108th Division, and the division commander was Zhang Wenqing, which was allocated to the 25th Army of Wang Jingjiu of the Central Army.
Next up was the 49th Army. This army also first reinforced the North China operation, and then transferred to the Songhu battlefield. There were two divisions, one was the 105th Division and the other was the 109th Division. After a battle on the Songhu battlefield, the 1OP Division was basically wiped out, and the 17th Division also suffered heavy casualties. If it is said that on the North China battlefield, the ** team was defeated, but on the Songhu battlefield, it was a desperate battle and did not retreat, and the 109th Division should be given priority to replenish. But Chiang Kai-shek was in a hurry to replenish the Central Army, how could there be a Northeast Army in his eyes? In desperation, Liu Duoquan, the commander of the Concave Army, took Zhao Yi, the commander of the 109th Division, to Wuhan to drill the door, dredge up the relationship at a large price, and transferred all the unarmed pre-5th divisions to supplement the 109th Division. The conditions were explained in advance,
Zhao Yi is still the commander of the 109th Division, and all the commanders above the regimental commander of the original 5th Division remain in office. Liu Duoquan couldn't help but be overjoyed by this, and hurriedly took out the Northeast Army's inventory and prepared the replenished 109th Division with a Czech rifle, each company with six Czech light machine guns, each battalion with a heavy machine gun company, and a mortar company in the regiment. As a result, when the 49th Army was deployed, the four regiment commanders from Huangpu who had been retained by the original 5th Division in the 109th Division all took leave, and the troops did not move at all. Liu Duoquan knew that these four regiment commanders were all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he had to complain to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek handled it cleanly, not only removing Zhao Yi, the commander of the 109th Division, but also dismissing all the cadres of the brigade, regiment, battalion, and company of the Northeast Army appointed by Zhao Yi on the spot, replacing him with his own descendant Li Zhende as the commander of the 109th Division, and placing the 109th Division under the command of Liu Zhi. It is equivalent to Chiang Kai-shek asking the Northeast Army to equip a division for him. That's not all, during the Battle of Nanchang, there was only one 105th Division of the 49th Army to defend the Songshan and Wanjiabu lines of Xiushui, and the battle was lost, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious and demoted Liu Duoquan, the commander of the 49th Army, from lieutenant general to colonel and colonel.
This is very similar to Chiang Kai-shek's demoting of Liu Yimin from lieutenant general division commander to second lieutenant trainee platoon commander, but the Northeast Army is still the first order anyway, and the Eighth Route Army is the first army, and Chiang Kai-shek is a little more ruthless against Liu Yimin, who has made meritorious contributions to the battle.
Chiang Kai-shek's punishment of the concave army was not over, and then he removed Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 105th Division, from his post and retained his post, and ordered him to make meritorious contributions: Deputy Army Commander Gao Pengyun and Chief of Staff Qin Jingyu were transferred one after another, and Lin Yaotang and Ling Zhencang, who were descendants of the Central Committee, succeeded him respectively. Since then, the 49th Army of the Northeast Army has also existed in name only.
When Wang Tiehan was promoted to the commander of the 49th Army in the future, the 49th Army had been completely centralized.
Then the unfortunate one was the 2nd Cavalry Corps. Before the war, the three divisions of this army were stationed in three places, and the commander He Zhuguo led the 3rd Cavalry Division to Luoyang, the 4th Cavalry Division to Suiyuan, and the 6th Cavalry Division to Hebei. On the eve of the Battle of Taiyuan, ride 2
The army was ordered to go north to Datong for reinforcements, and after the loss of Datong, it retreated to the northwest of Jin, and in late September 1937, the 2nd Cavalry Army was defeated by the Japanese in the battle of Jingping Town, and suffered heavy losses. As a result, last year, Chiang Kai-shek, under the pretext of a lack of horses, revoked the number of the 4th Cavalry Division in Hebei and changed it to the 25th Infantry Division
Division, out of the Northeast Army sequence. Now, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the 2nd Cavalry Army to be transferred to the Shenqiu and Xiangcheng areas of the Henan-Anhui border region, under the command of Sun Tongfang, the commander of the 1st Theater of Operations, and merged the 3rd Cavalry Division and the G Cavalry Division, retaining the number of the 3rd Cavalry Division. Zhang Xueliang was looking for Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin again, and asked to keep the number of the 6th Cavalry Division and replenish it on the spot, but Chiang Kai-shek was stubborn and assigned the Liao Yuanze Division, the provisional old division of the non-Northeast Military Department, to the 2nd Cavalry
Army. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that it won't be long before Liao Yuanze will definitely become the second cavalry in the future
The commander of the army, the 2nd Cavalry Army can no longer be regarded as the Northeast Army.
Up to now, the only remaining of the six Type B armies after the reorganization of the Northeast Army is the leading army led by Yu Xuezhong, the 57th Pinghe 53rd Army in southern Hunan, and the three armies are all covered with bruises, and when added together, the strength is only tens of thousands.
In the minds of Zhang Xueliang and others, the gun is closer than his parents! Chiang Kai-shek made the Northeast Army like this, and Zhang Xueliang regarded him as the biggest enemy in his heart, but it was difficult to resist because of the War of Resistance and the nominal brotherhood. Chiang Kai-shek's insult, Zhang Xueliang thought in his heart that the old Jiang Bacheng was going to use these informant telegrams to hit Yu Xuezhong and the 51st Army and the 57th Army again.
** The troops are not afraid of many dead people in the war, what they are afraid of is not to supplement and revoke the number, which is equivalent to kicking the jobs of the ** generals. Chiang Kai-shek just wants to kick the rice bowl of the miscellaneous army, let alone the Northeast Army, that is, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, Li Zhenren and Bai Chongxi's Gui Army, as well as the Sichuan Army and the Dian Army will all be kicked out of the rice bowl.
This was a strategy set by Yang Yongtai as early as when he was pursuing the Red Army in the Long March.
Now that the Guangdong Army, the Jin Army, and the Hunan Army have been centralized, the Northeast Army, which was originally the strongest, has also been weakened and has become the weakest miscellaneous army. Zhang Xueliang was not interested, and he also looked for Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin several times with the frame of the deputy commander-in-chief, and asked for supplements for the 49th Army and the Second Cavalry Army.
Not only Chiang Kai-shek, but also He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and other generals of the Central Army, the goal is the same, that is, through the War of Resistance, while fighting devils, the miscellaneous army is consumed.
Chiang Kai-shek had just demoted Zhi Yimin, who was known as an invincible general in China's resistance against Japan, from lieutenant general to second lieutenant, and Zhang Xueliang, who was known as a general who did not resist, dared to scold him.
Chiang Kai-shek's scolding became higher and higher, his face was red with anger, his eyes were like hungry wolves, staring at Zhang Xueliang and scolding: "You are a warlord, you are also a warlord!" You are a beard, and you are also a beard!
You Lao Tzu is afraid of the day himself, and you are also afraid of the day himself! Father and son are two of the same, there is no good person, all of them are rice buckets! β
Two people scolded and quarreled, and they were most afraid of insulting their ancestors, which was to fight hard!
Zhang Xueliang also reddened his eyes, and opened his mouth to scold: "your grandma, you dare to insult your father?" β
While scolding, he pulled out his pistol, and "slammed" it at Chiang Kai-shek.
Originally, No. 101 De'anli was heavily guarded, and everyone who entered the courtyard had to be strictly checked, not to mention those who approached the chairman. Anyone summoned by Chiang Kai-shek, let alone carrying a gun or a knife, it is impossible to carry something like an iron nail on his body. Moreover, those summoned by the chairman of the committee did not have the idea of carrying weapons. But there are exceptions to everything, Zhang Xueliang is an exception, he is the deputy commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air force, and the brother of Chairman Jiang, his bearded father Zhang Zuoshuang Zhang Dashuai has never left the gun in his life, he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he also does not leave the gun, and he always carries a small pistol with him, just in case. Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about this habit, Zhang Xueliang carried a gun when the two of them worshipped, and Chiang Kai-shek didn't care, and from then on, only Zhang Xueliang could see Chiang Kai-shek with a gun in the whole country.
Chiang Kai-shek was already alert when Zhang Xueliang stretched out his hand to draw his gun, stretched out his hand and rang the tablebell, and his body instinctively squatted down, wanting to hide under the table, when he heard a "bang", and the bullet hit Chiang Kai-shek's left arm. Listening to Chiang Kai-shek's oops, he sat on the ground.
The sound of gunfire alarmed the guard officer on duty outside the door, pushed open the door and rushed in, raising his hand to shoot a "bang" shot at Zhang Xueliang, hitting Zhang Xueliang in the back. Zhang Xueliang threw himself on Chiang Kai-shek's desk at once, blood gushing down.
In fact, Zhang Xueliang woke up immediately after shooting, threw away the pistol, and wanted to run behind the table to see if Chiang Kai-shek was injured. It's a pity that the guards around Chiang Kai-shek are all selected and loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, so they won't give Zhang Xueliang a chance at all.
The sound of gunfire in Chiang Kai-shek's office shook the whole building, and Zhang Zhizhong, director of SHI No. 1, Wang Shihe, chief of SHI guard, and Chen Bui, director of SHI No. 2, all stumbled in, and several people helped Chiang Kai-shek up from behind his desk and called for the doctor to come in and bandage it.
Zhang Zhizhong was bold, stretched out his hand to try Zhang Xueliang's nose, and was angry, busy, "Vice President Zhang Ziling,
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang shouted twice, and Zhang Xueliang gave a vague "um".
Wang Shihe glared and shouted: "Zhang Hanqing dares to assassinate the leader, and he is innocent!" While shouting, he raised his pistol and aimed it at Zhang Xueliang's head to replenish the gun.
Zhang Zhizhong hurriedly stopped him and shouted to the guard officer to call an ambulance.
Chiang Kai-shek stared at Zhang Xueliang who was crawling motionless on the table with frightened eyes, and it took him half a day to react, Zhang Xueliang dared to shoot the leader, and he was heinous! But there are still tens of thousands of troops in the Northeast Army, and once they know that Zhang Xueliang died in his office, it will be a big disaster. Zhang Xueliang can't die!
Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered to find the best doctor for rescue, strictly confidential, and whoever dared to spread the word would be shot!
By the time the ambulance arrived, the doctors at Chiang Kai-shek's official residence had already bandaged Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang was lying on a stretcher, with a green army blanket on his body, and was carried into the ambulance.
It was also Zhang Xueliang's life, and the shot of the guard officer hit him in the back, and the injury was very serious, but the bullets did not hurt the heart. This was also the first time that the guard officer encountered someone who dared to shoot at Chiang Kai-shek, for fear of holding him accountable for the dereliction of duty of the guards on duty, and in a panic, the muzzle of the gun was deflected. Otherwise, where would the dignified Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China still have his life! @γ
