Chapter 168 The unlucky general Wu Teng Xinyi
The three eastern provinces were in flames, and the Japanese army connected several cities. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Following the fall of Changchun City on the 19th, Xi Qia, chief of staff of the Office of the Deputy Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army stationed in Jilin Province on the 21st, led his troops to surrender to the enemy, and the Japanese army occupied most of Jilin.
Due to the grim situation in Mukden, the news of the 15th Brigade of the 15th Brigade of the 2nd Division, which had originally crossed the Yalu River on the afternoon of the 21st, was interrupted.
Although there was an accident of the closure of the sky, and the situation in the Northeast after 918 was somewhat different from the situation in the original history, most areas still followed the trajectory of history.
Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 7th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army stationed outside the Guan, was ordered not to resist, and returned to Jinzhou alone after following Rong Zhen, and the situation of the 7th Brigade is unknown.
Zhang Tingshu's headquarters of the 12th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army were ordered not to resist, Sun Dequan's headquarters of the 19th Independent Brigade were ordered not to resist, Guo Xihu's division of the 4th Brigade of the Northeast Cavalry was ordered not to resist, and Liu Handong of the 8th Independent Artillery Brigade of the Northeast Army was ordered not to resist, and each led part of the army to withdraw to Jinzhou one after another.
Many of the evacuated troops are not well organized, and many of the troops are scattered and do not know where they are going. There is no doubt that some small army has run to Fengtian.
In the original history, Zhang Zuozhou's 25th Brigade of the Northeast Army Cavalry launched the Changchun Breakout Battle and was defeated by the Japanese army. In this life, He Lizhong, the first brigade of the Fengtian Volunteer Army, led his troops to the Changchun battlefield, and probably Zhang Zuozhou's fate also changed.
At this point, the nearly 200,000 troops stationed outside the Guan, except for the troops who returned to Jinzhou one after another, fell apart.
On the afternoon of September 19, the southern government received a telegram from Zhang Xueniang from Beiping, reporting the course of the incident.
At this time, Chairman Jiang of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China was on his way from Ningbo to Jiangxi, and Yu Youren, Ding Weifen, Dai Jitao, and Zhu Beide, members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee in Ningbo, immediately notified the relevant personnel to hold a temporary meeting of the Central Committee Standing Committee at 8 o'clock that night.
The meeting was chaired by Dai Jitao, and the participants decided on a number of urgent matters: "At the meeting, the League of Nations, which is still appealing to the outside world, asks it to uphold justice, and internally urges the people of the whole country and the comrades of the Party to sacrifice their prejudices and unite with them, and also sends a telegram urging Chairman Jiang to return to Beijing immediately to discuss everything." …… The Central Committee also informed the people and Party members that in addition to the work of eradicating the Red Army and providing disaster relief, the people of the whole country must be united in virtue and one heart to resist foreign insults. It began to disperse at about 1 o'clock in the morning. ”
The war of words between the southern government and the Japanese government was beginning, and the Japanese government preemptively protested against the Northeast Army blowing up the railroad and provoking the incident, saying that the Japanese military operation in the Northeast was forced to defend itself.
On September 19, 1931, Shi Shi, the plenipotentiary representative of China to the League of Nations, reported the incident to the League of Nations and asked the League of Nations to uphold justice.
On September 19, 1931, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Zhengting lodged a serious protest with the Japanese Minister Shigemitsu Aoi.
On September 21, Shi hurriedly filed a formal complaint with the League of Nations.
On September 23, 1931, the Chinese government sent a note to the US government on this matter, hoping that the other side would be "deeply concerned."
On the morning of 20 July, on board the warship returning to Nanjing from Nanchang, Chairman Jiang made a timely response to the Japanese side's request for the Nationalist Government to protect its overseas Japanese in various parts of China.
He sent a telegram to Ye Chuling, informing him that "I received a telegram from Minister Wang Zhengting that Secretary Uemura of the Japanese Embassy had come to say that the Japanese Government had ordered the protection of overseas Chinese in Japan, and hoped that I would do my best to protect Yunyun for overseas Chinese." The government will immediately order all provinces and municipalities to give practical advice. ”
At 2 p.m. on 21 July, after returning from Nanchang, Chairman Jiang convened a meeting with Wu Zhihui, Zhang Jingjiang, Dai Jitao, and Shao Yuanchong at 6 to 10 p.m. to discuss the handling of the matter.
Regarding the September 18 Incident launched by the Japanese army, Chairman Jiang advocated that the matter "should be mentioned first by the League of Nations and the countries of the Non-War Pact, so as to achieve a victory over justice." On the other hand, it unites the country and goes to the national disaster together. As for the military, he endured to a considerable extent, and acted in self-defense to make the last move, and fought a decisive battle against the Japanese invaders. ”
On the morning of 22 July, Chairman Jiang attended an extraordinary meeting of party members held in Nanshi, where he openly put forward the policy of "first using justice against power, peace against barbarism, enduring pain and anger, temporarily adopting an attitude of resignation and resignation, and waiting for the judgment of international justice."
In his report, Chairman Jiang also talked about how to deal with the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people, stressing the need to exhort the people to "obey the command of reunification," "obey the government, respect discipline, and refrain from acting recklessly." ”
Chairman Jiang explained: "At this moment, we will be patient for the time being, and we will by no means give in, and if all the promises of international treaties are null and void, and peace is hopeless, and we reach the point where patience is unbearable and should not be endured, then the central authorities will have the final determination and final preparation, and at that time we will lead the entire people to defend the survival of our nation and the national personality with the strength of 40,000 people." ”
In the evening, Chairman Jiang sent a telegram to Liu Zhennian, commander of the Yantai Garrison Division, instructing him to "first advise the people to observe order, abide by public law, and not to act outside the rails." On the one hand, we should strictly prevent the Japanese ronin from making trouble, and on the other hand, we should protect their overseas Chinese and "avoid accidents."
On the 23rd, the Nationalist Government issued a "Letter to the Nation," in which it "unanimously exhorted the people to maintain a solemn and calm attitude" and urged the people to unite and trust the government.
In a word, we must be reasonable, with literature against martial arts, we have a great country with 5,000 years of civilization, and we are civilized people who do not have the same knowledge as little Japan. Bear with it first, and it's really not too late for us to fight as a last resort.
Any country in the world knows that the world is inherently unreasonable. Westerners don't advertise that the truth is within the range of a cannon.
Is the invasion of China justified by the Eight-Nation Alliance?
Mu has, I can hit you for any reason.
Did the Japanese make sense in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War and the annexation of the Korean Peninsula?
If you take it, you will take it, and this land will not belong to you from now on.
Now it is still unreasonable, the Japanese just plant a bomb and explode, saying that you are sabotaging and beating you without discussion. How, do you have a temper?
The problem is that Chinese politicians just don't have a long memory, they preach peace and benevolence every day, and they want to convince people with reason.
In fact, if any government is reasonable to foreign countries, it must be unreasonable at home, and it will definitely need to betray its own interests. Kong Lao Er talks about benevolence, I don't know if he said that he talked about benevolence abroad.
Anyway, we know that foreigners have never been kind to our country, and all they have brought to us is calamity.
Some people say that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
Some people also say that we have to endure and develop, and when we are strong enough, no one dares to bully. This kind of talk is the fantasy of some idealists, typical literati thinking. If you develop others, you won't develop, and you will stand still waiting for you to be strong?
If you want not to be beaten, first of all, you must dare to fight and have enough courage.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, we were very backward, but we could still defeat the powerful United States. So, we need strong people.
In fact, cowardice and cowardice will be beaten. Safeguarding territorial integrity is the responsibility that a legitimate government must bear, and it is also the minimum requirement of a government.
It is also true that the Nationalist Government has difficulties, and the whole country is scattered and the government decrees are inconsistent.
However, since Chairman Jiang is wearing the hat of the central government on his head, he must take responsibility, and in the face of the aggression of the Japanese army, the government has taken a tough attitude and put on the appearance of an all-out war of resistance.
The problem is that Chairman Jiang always thinks that his biggest opponent is not the Japanese, but the opposition at home.
With regard to the aggression of foreign troops, Chairman Jiang pinned his trust on the international community and still imagined that the League of Nations would intervene and withdraw under the intervention of the international community, just as the Japanese army had occupied Jinan in the past.
The trouble of bandits in Jiangxi is the trouble that is on Chairman Jiang's mind, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible. Therefore, the national policy of securing the outside world before securing the interior will not change.
The question is, will the Japanese wait for you to exterminate the banditry before invading China?
Isn't it obvious that the Japanese wanted to take advantage of the opponent's domestic instability and the endless fighting between all sides.
If China's attitude is very tough and it really puts on a posture of breaking the net, the Japanese will not necessarily dare to take this risk.
You don't have a straight waist, and you keep saying that you want to go to the League of Nations to reason, who will you beat if you don't beat this kind of soft egg?
The September 18 incident that occurred in this time and space fully illustrates this point. Whether it was Zhang Xueliang or Lao Jiang, they did not have the guts and showed a cowardly appearance, which fueled the courage of Japan to invade China.
