Jining City, the temporary headquarters of Han Fuqu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Fuqu is borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, and the situation in Shandong is so sluggish, and his painstaking management over the years is about to fall short.

In addition, he and Chairman Chiang have accumulated a lot of grievances over the years, so once he loses his territory in Shandong, his territory, and his army, Chairman Chiang will definitely not allow him.

Han Fuqu didn't think about surrendering to Zhang Xinghan, but because he didn't have a chance, he surrendered rashly, and he couldn't pull it off, and he was worried that Zhang Xinghan would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

After all, in this reorganization war, he was a high-profile opposition.

&nb?Pigs? Pig? Island? Novel; "Chairman, chairman, I just got the news that Zhang Hanqing's Qingdao Army was defeated, and he himself was captured by the Northeast Army, and now the Jiaodong Peninsula has all fallen into the hands of the Northeast Army." An adjutant looked panicked and ran in to report.

Han Fuqu, who was already half-drunk, was shocked when he heard this, stood up suddenly, and said with a little shaking: "What did you say?" Zhang Xueliang was defeated and captured? ”

The adjutant nodded in confirmation.

Han Fuqu suddenly said in mourning: "It's over, this Shandong battle is completely over, Lao Tzu's years of hard work!" That's it. ”

The adjutant said: "Chairman, don't be busy with frustration first, I also received a handwritten letter from Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army. ”

"What? Zhang Xinghan's handwritten letter? Han Fuqu came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter?" Give it to me! ”

The adjutant handed it to him, Han Fuqu took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, but he handed it to the adjutant with some embarrassment: "You read it to me." ”

The adjutant couldn't help laughing, took the message, and read it out decently.

After listening to this, Han Fuqu said with mixed feelings: "Zhang Xinghan actually took the initiative to write a letter to Lao Tzu to surrender, which is a bit sincere." ”

"So what do you mean by accepting the adaptation?" The adjutant asked.

Han Fuqu was hesitating when Li Shuchun, a good friend and chief of staff, arrived.

Han Fuqu hurriedly beckoned to him: "Chief of Staff, come and give me a staff officer, are we going to fight or surrender?" ”

Present. asked the adjutant to hand over Zhang Xinghan's letter to Li Shuchun.

After Li Shuchun finished reading it, Han Fuqu asked, "How is it, what do you think?" ”

Li Shuchun said: "Chairman, it is the general trend to support reorganization, and now Zhang Gong occupies the entire North China, Northeast China and North Korea, and occupies the Central Plains, with millions of troops under his command.

And he has made great achievements in the War of Resistance against Japan, and has a great reputation at home and abroad. Won the hearts of the people.

The reorganization is now not unexpected.

And on the military side, the war situation in Shandong has become settled and irretrievable, and the chairman should have chosen the outcome of the peace talks a long time ago, otherwise once the city of Jining is broken, everything will be over. ”

"I surrendered early, Zhang Xinghan may really be able to find a position for you after the successful reorganization, but it's too late. The result is really hard to say, the chairman must not hesitate, immediately telegraph to support the reshuffle, and make it public to Zhang. ”

Han Fuqu was already a little moved in his heart. As soon as Li Shuchun said these words, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, just do what the chief of staff said, and give Sun Tongxuan an order immediately." All the troops stopped the confrontation, put up the white flag and surrendered, and announced the matter of the telegram, and you should personally handle it, Staff Officer Li. ”

Li Shuchun and the adjutant bowed their heads in response. Turn around and quickly lead the way away.

In late October of the 24th year of the Republic of China, Han Fuqu led the remnants to surrender to Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army, and issued a telegram in support of the reorganization, accusing the Nationalist Government of corruption.

Shandong was completely pacified, and Zhang Xinghan sent Han Fuqu to Jilin to live temporarily, and like Zhang Hanqing, he was secretly monitored by the Secret Bureau.

The remnants of Han Fuqu's Shandong Army and Shang Zhen's Department were reorganized into a division, Shang Zhen served as the army commander, under the jurisdiction of two A divisions, about 50,000 people, Li Shuchun and Sun Tongxuan served as division commanders, under the control of the First Group Army.

After pacifying Shandong, Zhang Xinghan led four divisions and 100,000 troops from Linyi and Zaozhuang to march to Xuzhou three days after Han Fuqu surrendered.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Chairman Chiang followed the advice of Bai Chongxi and others and ordered the defenders in the Xuzhou area to withdraw south.

At the end of October of the 24th year of the Republic of China, under the order of Zhang Xinghan, Xu Yongchang was left to lead an army of 30,000 troops to be stationed in Xinyang to deter the three passes of Yiyang.

Yang Aiyuan and Liu Guodong led an army of 100,000 troops from Zhoukou, an important town in eastern Henan, along the Yingshui eastward, within a few days, even down Shenqiu, Xiangcheng, and the head of the boundary, and went directly to Fuyang, an important town in northern Anhui.

At the same time, Zhang Xinghan sent Zhang Tingshu to lead an army of 15,000 to pursue the Central Army fleeing south in the Xuzhou area along the Jinpu Railway.

It also reached Huaiyuan, an important town north of the Huai River, which was already the Huai River defense line area of the Central Army.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and in the end, Zhang Tingshu suspended the attack due to insufficient troops, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Five days later, Liu Jianguo, together with Xuezhong, Li Shuchun, Sun Tongxuan and others, led the main force to arrive at the Huaiyuan front along the railway.

According to the battle plan formulated by Jiang Baili and Zhang Xinghan, they began to divide their troops to advance west along the Huai River, and at the same time, Liu Guodong and Yang Aiyuan also divided their troops to march east.

At the beginning of October, all the strongholds and support points of the Central Army north of the Huai River were basically swept away.

Confrontation with the 200,000 Central Army across the river.

…………

Nanjing, War Hall of the Military Commission.

Bai Chongxi stared at the map and said in confusion: "According to the information sent back by Gu Zhutong from the front line, the Northeast Army has gathered more than 200,000 troops north of the Huai River, of which the real elite of the Northeast Army is less than half, but it is not that there has not even been a decent attack for many days.

For the Northeast Army, which has absolute firepower superiority in the sea, land and air, their actions are really intriguing, what does this Zhang Xinghan want to do? ”

Sitting at the conference table, Chairman Chiang, Chen Cheng, and other important members of the Nationalist Government and senior generals were also confused.

As smart as Xiao Zhuge Bai Chongxi couldn't guess Zhang Xinghan's true intentions, let alone them.

Chen Cheng said: "Could it be that Zhang Xinghan thinks that the troops are insufficient, and he is drawing strong reinforcements from Kyushu Island, North Korea and even the Northeast, right?" After all, the Shandong Army and the Jin Sui Army are newly attached, and their combat power cannot be compared with the real Northeast Army. ”

Bai Chongxi nodded slightly and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but this is not like Zhang Xinghan's style, even if the real Northeast Army on the north bank of the Huai River is less than 100,000, he should not be too timid to attack our army." ”

Chairman Jiang, who was silent, said at this time: "Jiansheng, you have forgotten one thing, the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army have just been annexed, how can Zhang Xinghan rest assured that he will do his best to storm my Huai River defense line."

In case the losses of his elite troops reach a certain level, how do you know that the Jin Sui army and the Shandong army will not rebel again?

As for driving the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army as cannon fodder, it is even more difficult.

In short, in such a short period of time, Zhang Xinghan wanted to really domesticate Yan Baichuan, Han Fuqu and even Zhang Hanqing's miscellaneous army. It is impossible to be like his descendant of the Northeast Army. ”

Bai Chongxi nodded undeniably, looked meaningfully at Chairman Jiang who said this, and said in his heart, you understand people, in this regard, I'm afraid no one can compare to you President Jiang.

………………

Qingdao, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

Zhang Xinghan was getting together with Jiang Baili to repeatedly discuss the battle plan they had already formulated.

Guo Zhong strode in and said, "General seat." The navy has just sent a secret telegram that they have arrived off the mouth of the Yangtze River and are ready to attack at any time. ”

Before Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili could react, Guo Zhong said again: "However, they said that due to the restrictions of the waters of the Yangtze River, it may be difficult for our warships above the 10,000-ton level to participate in this battle.

The main thing is probably the battleship Weiqing, it's a big guy. The tonnage is more than 50,000 tons. ”

Zhang Xinghan said with a regretful expression: "Then let it stay in the open sea, and give me any Chinese and foreign ships in Shanghai Port." ”

Jiang Baili said: "With the strength of our naval fleet, even if there is no battleship Weiqing, we can break through the weak defense of the Central Army. It's not a problem.

The key point is that after the naval fleet arrives in the waters of Nanjing, it should immediately send marines to land, and then the naval fleet should block the large and small ferry crossings within 200 miles upstream and downstream of the waters of Nanjing. In order to block the central army on the north bank, they rushed to the aid of Nanjing. ”

"This shouldn't be a problem, I have asked Gao Zhihang to send three hundred fighters to participate in this decapitation operation, with their assistance in the air. None of the hundreds of thousands of Central Army north of the Yangtze River have ever thought of crossing the Yangtze River. Zhang Xinghan said confidently.

Jiang Baili nodded slightly and said: "Then the next thing is to see the joint operation of the airborne brigade and the marines, according to the information sent back by the Secret Bureau, there should be a division or so in the garrison of Nanjing now, and there are a large number of military police and gendarmes in the city.

The total strength should be around 20,000 people.

The strength of our army is 5,000 or 6,000 troops of the former Qingdao Marine Corps, which has just been reorganized, and about 7,000 people with the airborne brigade, although there is a slight shortage in terms of troops.

However, with the assistance of the powerful firepower of the Navy and Air Force, and the surprise attack, the possibility of success is very great.

In addition, the nearest reinforcement to Nanjing was in Changzhou, which was more than 120 kilometers away.

As long as we send a few more planes to carry out air raids and sabotage on their march, we will greatly delay their reinforcement of Nanking, which should be enough for us to do whatever we want. ”

"Chief of Staff, you should not forget one point, that is, once our army suddenly descends on the city of Nanjing and surrounds it, the dignitaries and nobles in the city of Nanjing will certainly be panicked, and when the time comes, it is natural that some people will persuade Chairman Chiang to go down or agree to reorganize the new government." Zhang Xinghan said.

"The general seat is wise, once the reorganization is successful, the efforts of our army in the past few months will not be in vain." Jiang Baili praised rarely.

"Now there is a point, I want to hear your opinion from the Chief of Staff." Zhang Xinghan paused and said, "How to deal with Chairman Jiang after our army's strategic intentions are successfully realized?" ”

Jiang Baili said: "General seat, please forgive Baili for making it clear that although the national government is corrupt, Jiang Gong also has its advantages, and having him is conducive to uniting and stabilizing the situation of the new government."

In particular, it is extremely important to pacify the nearly one million central army, and in addition, it can also show the powerful factions in the southwest that you are sincere in reform, not for selfish desires.

We will not harm them in vain, so as to dispel their worries and make them conform to the general trend of reorganization and agree to the reorganization, so as to avoid the suffering of another war in the southwest.

Therefore, I suggest that the general seat can choose those veterans of the Republic of China who are sincere to the country and honest all their lives to govern together with Jiang Gong, but discuss all major military affairs. ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded when he heard this: "The chief of staff is reasonable, and I plan to do the same." (To be continued......)
