Chapter 199: Lao Jiang's Conspiracy

In the early hours of July 29. Tian Zheng gathered the high-level military officials into the conference room early.

"The front was defended by two regiments of our army plus a division of friendly forces. The fortifications were strong, and the ammunition supply could keep up. Don't worry just yet. The flanks of the enemy forces on the east and north-west are worth considering. Tian Zheng said lightly.

"Military seat, then I will give the two division commanders an order to seize the space on the two wings?" Wang Zilu asked.

Tian Zheng nodded.

"Our next combat goal is to clear the enemy's forces on both flanks and expand our survival and combat space. Units directly under all military departments must go all out to do a good job in providing logistical support for all combat units! Tian Zheng ordered.

"Also, draft a power-up! The War of Resistance was a long-lasting undertaking. It is impossible to accomplish it by relying on our army alone. It is necessary to unite the strength of the people of the whole of China, and unite the warlords and troops of all factions. It is necessary to build a united front for the all-people war of resistance! ”

At eight o'clock in the morning of July 29, 1937, a telegram from the forward command of the 54th Group Army spread all over the land of China. Perhaps many people still don't know why the 54th Group Army is in Ludao, but I am afraid that some people who are concerned about domestic military affairs and the officers and soldiers of various warlords have more or less understanding.

"The iron hooves of the Japanese invaders are public, and my Chinese land is in danger!" The title of this telegram signed Tian Zheng was immediately reprinted and published by major domestic newspapers! Spread among the Chinese people at the fastest speed!

"Since the Japanese invaders occupied the three northeastern provinces of China, the Japanese invaders have killed my heart in China! I am thinking about how to rob me of the great rivers and mountains of China and kidnap my 40,000 compatriots in China! This time, the Japanese deliberately provoked the incident and broke out in the Lugou Bridge Incident! The wolf ambition of the Japanese invaders is like Sima Zhao's heart. Abundantly clear! The officers and men of the 29th garrison defending near the Lugou Bridge fought bloodily, but they were ravaged by Japanese artillery planes! Our 54th Army is in this critical situation. Thousands of miles away, now fighting side by side with the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army! Yesterday our two armies joined hands. It has suffered a major defeat to the frontal troops of the Japanese army, killed and wounded more than 2,000 people of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, and completely annihilated the armored troops and artillery units of the 1st Mixed Brigade! But the Japanese army is moving troops from the northeast as well as from the Japanese mainland, and is mobilizing troops! The Lugou Bridge is a choke point between the inside and outside the Guan. If it is occupied by the Japanese army, then waiting for the Japanese army to move south will be a flat river, and there will be no natural danger to defend! On this occasion of crisis, in the name of the Supreme Commander of the 54th Group Army, I would like to appeal to the 40,000,000 compatriots in China: Please unite. Pick up the weapon in your hand and point the muzzle outward! Whether you are a farmer, a businessman, a bandit or a warlord, please put aside your personal grudges for a while and fight together against our common enemy! Since its formation, our 54th Army has made several thousand-mile raids and fought against the Japanese army. And repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the enemy! Here, as the commander of the 54th Group Army, I announce to the people of all China: As long as there are those who are willing to join the army, our 54th Group Army will open its door to welcome! At the same time, we also welcome the operators of various industries to come to my Liaocheng rear base! For those who still think about infighting at the time of this national crisis, there are 40,000 compatriots in China. Please unite and resist in unison! In addition, wherever my 54th Army went, if I found people who were fighting and fighting internally. Regardless of the reason, they will all be co-opted! Our army since its formation. Impressive! But our army does not want to waste bullets on dealing with fellow citizens! We must use every bullet on the battlefield of the war against Japan! ”

For such an article, it is not a good power-up. The major newspapers and periodicals in China immediately organized the printing of records as soon as they received them!

Nanjing National Government.

"Commission, this Tian Zheng is too rampant! How dare you openly accuse us! Dai Li, the head of the Military Command Bureau, wore a gray tunic and stood across from the desk and whispered.

Sitting at the desk was none other than Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "I was careless at the beginning, and let the red bandits breed, but at this moment, a spark is ignited!" Now is the perfect time to exterminate the Red Bandits! I didn't expect that idiot Han Fuqu to release such a white-eyed wolf as Tian Zheng again! Little Japan let them be arrogant for the time being! If you go outside, you must first settle inside. If you don't eradicate the red bandit this time, I'm afraid this red bandit will become a big problem! Dai Li, you send someone to Beiping and let Tong Linge and Feng Zhi'an keep a little distance from that Tian Zheng! When necessary, you can ......" Chiang Kai-shek made a motion to wipe his neck.

Dai Li nodded, "Please rest assured!" ”

"The red bandits colluded with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to mutiny, and later they barely gave themselves a legal identity. Do you, a disobedient unit, want to rebel too? But that's fine. Little Japan is so ferocious. Since you can fight, then you can go up and resist me! You fight each other, and I have a reputation for fighting the war, and I can reduce your forces. Why not? After some thought, Chiang Kai-shek immediately decided that in addition to sending Dai Li to secretly pay attention to the incident, he would also issue a telegram to encourage the 54th Army to fight bravely, and give some verbal rewards. When the time comes, let the people of the whole country place their high hopes on you. Hehe, are you still worried that you won't be nailed there?

Tian Zheng was a little dazed by Chiang Kai-shek's sudden words of praise and encouragement. This Chiang Kai-shek has regarded himself as a thorn in his side since he last announced his departure from the ranks of the National Revolutionary Army. Why is there a sudden change at this time?

"Junza, then Chiang Kai-shek actually praised us for our bravery in battle, and he also wanted to award us a reward!" Yan Shisan also heard the news and rushed to report the good news to Tian Zheng.

After a little thought, Tian Zheng realized Chiang Kai-shek's sinister intentions. Immediately smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that bald old Jiang didn't have any good intentions!" ”

Yan Shisan was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”

Tian Zheng pointed to the telegram recorded by the radio soldiers and said, "You look at Chiang Kai-shek's praise throughout, but there is never a real reward!" I didn't talk about the supply of weapons, ammunition and soldiers for our front-line soldiers! This old Jiang is a good scheming! He just wants to take advantage of the people's trust and worship of our army, and force us to stick here until we run out of ammunition and food, and the army is completely crushed! ”

Yan Shisan's face stiffened, "It seems that what Junzuo said is right." That old Jiang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! Then let's just withdraw! Anyway, so many troops don't come to plug this gap, we have more than 20,000 people, if the Japanese army is assembled, we don't have enough aircraft and artillery to plug the teeth! We can't afford to die here! ”

Tian Zheng waved his hand, "The mission of our army is to fight the war. From the moment it was formed, I told the officers and men of the whole army that we were going to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! Therefore, this time, regardless of whether there is support from other troops or not, our army must firmly block this opening at all costs! Even if there is only one soldier left, you must not retreat half a step! (To be continued......)
