Nanjing, Supreme Military Council. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This morning, Chairman Chiang was in a very depressed mood, and when he opened his eyes, he received all the bad news.

Recently, after the Japanese army captured Pingjin, it retreated with the defeat of the 29th Army. The 5th Division of the Japanese Army attacked in the direction of Suiyuan, and Liu Ruming's troops could not stop the Japanese attack. Huang Weigang and Shi You's three divisions were also defeated one after another. The Japanese advance reached the Shanxi border.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army entered and occupied Langfang, and there was an attempt to move further south along the Jinpu Road.

This is not counting, the Japanese Manchurian and Mongolian garrison attacked Baotou, and the four cavalry divisions of the Li Shouxin Department of the puppet Mongolian Autonomous Army attacked and harassed the Daqingshan line, and there was an attempt to cooperate with the Japanese army to attack Jining.

Ever since receiving the telegram from the Xia Dynasty, Chairman Chiang has been very concerned about the movements of Zhang Zizhong's troops of the 29th Army, and he does not know whether they can successfully break through the encirclement. The situation is rotten, and Chairman Chiang hopes to hear good news to boost the morale of the army and the people. Now, Chairman Chiang has little hope for other places, and only the summer is here where his hope lies.

Chairman Jiang was in an irritable mood and pressed the doorbell, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, came in immediately. Chairman Jiang asked, "Is there no news from Beiping yet?" ”

Wang Shihe shook his head and said, "There is no news yet. ”

Chairman Chiang waved his hand and let him out. Wang Shihe had just walked to the door, and Chairman Jiang said, "You called Cixiu to come over." ”

Soon, Chen Cheng came to Chairman Chiang's office. Chairman Jiang asked Chen Cheng and said, "Cixiu, can the court rescue Zhang Zizhong that summer?" ”

Chen Cheng didn't know the bottom of his heart, he said: "The situation is still unclear, but I think he is still very capable, according to what they said in the previous telegram, he should act in the next two days." ”

Why didn't the summer dynasty send a telegram to Chen Cheng? The 29th Army was an anti-Japanese iron army, and the Xia Dynasty had a good impression of Song Zheyuan, why did he come to Beiping to help the 29th Army, this is the reason, he wanted Song Zheyuan to report to the Supreme Military Council himself.

Chairman Jiang said with some anger: "Song Zheyuan retreated to Baoding, I gave the order, but he did not make a good deployment, and the losses of the troops were too great. Especially Zhang Zizhong's department, the troops of the two brigades were surrounded in Beiping in this way, and the Japanese were cheapened in vain. It's disappointing. ”

At this time, Chen Bui, the courageous propaganda minister of the State Government, who was known as Chairman Chiang, came. He said: "Chairman of the National People's Congress, the military and civilians in Nanjing, Shanghai and other places have great opinions on the 29th Army's Song Zheyuan's abandonment of Pingjin, and they demand that Song Zheyuan be punished as a traitor. There is also the matter of Zhang Zizhong's defection to the enemy, did the government issue a proclamation? ”

Chairman Jiang was in a bad mood, and he said: "These literati and ordinary people do not understand national affairs, and they know how to cause trouble to the country. ”

The more Chairman Jiang spoke, the more angry he became, and he said: "Song Zheyuan is also not angry, I already take great care of him, he just can't do things well." ”

Why did Chairman Chiang take care of Song Zheyuan?

At the time of the Xi'an Incident, because Chiang Kai-shek was trapped and many generals fell into the ground, Song Zheyuan resolutely supported Chairman Chiang and publicly issued a proclamation. Chiang Kai-shek missed the old, so he took special care of Song Zheyuan.

On the contrary, Han Fuyu, chairman of Shandong Province, called for Chiang Kai-shek to step down during the Xi'an Incident, and was later executed by Chiang Kai-shek.

At this time, Chairman Chiang believed that Song Zheyuan could not control the situation and decided to send Feng Yuxiang to take over his command. Historically, this has been the case.

Chairman Chiang asked Feng Yuxiang to have a formal conversation with him and let him take over the 29th Army. At the same time, He Yingqin and Zhang Zhizhong were also notified to come over for a meeting. Soon, He Yingqin, Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Zhi all came.

Chairman Chiang said: "The mediation between German Ambassador Todmann and Japan has been fruitless, war is inevitable, and I have decided to appoint Zhang Zhizhong as commander of the Ninth Army and commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, and prepare for war against Japan in Shanghai.

Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander of the Sixth Theater and the commander of the 29th Army, commanding the 29th Army and the 69th Army to conduct the Jinpu Road operation. “

Zhang Zhizhong said: "Thanks to the trust of the chairman, I will definitely crack down on the Japanese invaders in Shanghai." ”

Feng Yuxiang was about to make a statement, when suddenly, Wang Shihe pushed the door in and reported loudly: "Baoding 29th Army Commander Song Zheyuan telegraphed, the 29th Army's Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu troops won a great victory in Nanyuan, annihilated the 78th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, and killed more than 3,400 people under Wing Captain Kobayashi Hengichi and Acting Wing Captain Nobuo Sato Nakasa. More than 8,000 people in the headquarters evacuated from Beiping safely and arrived at the 29th Military Defense Area. ”

Chairman Chiang was very happy and said, "Okay, I know this 20th Division, and it is the first-class unit of the Japanese army. To be able to annihilate one of its wings is a great victory. Well, this summer is going to be good. Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu are also good. ”

Chen Cheng is also very happy, he has always supported Xia Chao, and Xia Chao is showing his face to him.

Although Zhang Zhizhong did not know what role Xia Chao played in this matter, Xia Chao was subordinate to the Central Military Academy after all, and he was also happy.

He Yingqin was very depressed, the 29th Army won the battle, what does it have to do with the Xia Dynasty? Ever since he met Xia Chao, He Yingqin has always been unhappy.

The old general Feng Yuxiang was also very depressed, and this news dashed his hope of returning to military power.

At this time, Dai Li asked to see him, and after Dai Li came in, he reported: "With the assistance of Xia Chao and others, the Beiping Station of the Fuxing Society captured the head of the Japanese Beiping secret service, Matsui Kutaro, and the Japanese military attache in Beiping, Takeo Imai, and is now on the way to escort Nanjing. ”

He Yingqin heard it, why is there also a matter of the Summer Dynasty here? He finally couldn't help but ask: "Does this 29th Army's victory have anything to do with the Xia Dynasty?" ”

Chairman Jiang said: "The summer dynasty is not simple, and this student of mine is very competitive. Cixiu, tell me what you did in Beiping in the summer. ”

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Xia Chao led a special combat team of 60 people to infiltrate Beiping, first rescued Zhao Dengyu's division of the 183rd Division, annihilated a brigade of the Japanese army, and then cooperated with the Fuxing Society to rescue Zhang Zizhong's department, and then annihilated the main force of the 78th Wing. ”

As soon as Dai Li heard Chen Cheng say good things for him, he also continued: "The plot of this matter is complicated, and the summer dynasty is ...... with the cooperation of my Fuxing Society Beiping Station."

Chairman Jiang was very happy, and he said with a red face: "Okay, worthy of being my student, witty and brave, and remarkable. ”

Chairman Chiang instructed Chen Bui to vigorously publicize the news of the 29th Army's victory in Nanyuan, to correct Zhang Zizhong's name, and of course to publicize the special combat team of the Xia Dynasty.

Chen Bui felt very embarrassed about something, and he decided to ask Chairman Jiang for instructions.
