Section 9 Turning Point II
On 20 December, the teaching corps occupied the east and west Chishui, and the next day conquered Weinan, and the Si service teaching corps captured three cities in two days, with less than 100 casualties, defeated three divisions of the Northeast Army, and captured more than 3,000 people. [Chinese.] ]
But as soon as Weinan arrived, Gui Yongqing was faced with the difficult problem of choice, and after He Yingqin received the telegram to conquer Weinan, he immediately sent him an order to stop the attack; At the same time, the telegram from Chaotian Palace also arrived, and there was only one request, to continue the attack and fight until the city of Xi'an.
Gui Yongqing was in a dilemma in Weinan City, and this sentence in Nanjing City, He Yingqin, and He Jinhan nervously paid attention to his actions; In addition to them, Gongwangling Yu Jishi, south of Weinan, was also nervously staring at Gui Yongqing's movements, and one of his brigades was on standby south of Yangguo. Of course, he didn't expect this brigade to solve the teaching corps, they only played an auxiliary role.
Luozhang town on the outskirts of Weinan is a big town with thousands of households, it is located on the road from Weinan to Xi'an, a road paved with bluestone passes through the town, this highway is full of cars and people on weekdays, the long-distance bus from Xi'an likes to stop, add some water, have a meal, so the restaurant business here is very hot, and the corresponding various shops and hotels came into being.
But recently, business here has been very cold, and buses from Xi'an have been very scarce, on the contrary, a large number of wealthy businessmen dragged their families from Weinan to Xi'an, and then ran further west.
The Northeast Army, which had been stationed in this area for a long time yesterday, suddenly ran away in a hurry, and then a large number of troops in yellow uniforms were stationed, and these soldiers were obviously richer than the Northeast Army that had fled, and therefore their military discipline was also better. The townspeople quickly relented and went about their business.
A group of cavalry surrounded a middle-aged general and galloped to the entrance of the town. After a few words of conversation with the sentry at the entrance of the town, the group of cavalry quickly headed into the town, the horses' hooves making a crisp sound on the bluestone slabs.
Arrived at the Guandi Temple in the center of the town. The cavalrymen dismounted, and the general took the lead and walked in, and the soldiers guarding the door raised their arms to salute him.
"Education Chief Zhang, why are you here?" When Gui Yongqing received the report, it was already late, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, Zhang Zhizhong had already arrived.
"I was ordered to come to Tongguan to inspect military affairs, and by the way, I came to you to have a look." Zhang Zhizhong put his hands behind his back. With a smile on his face: "Honestly, the teaching corps is really worthy of being cultivated by the chairman of the committee with hard work, and he conquered Weinan in two days in two days, and conquered Weinan in one fell swoop, how majestic the military might is." ”
Gui Yongqing's heart trembled, and Zhang Zhizhong reminded him as soon as he came. With Chiang Kai-shek this army, he came here by no means a smooth way. I'm afraid it has something to do with those two telegrams.
"I taught the officers and men of the corps to make up their minds, not afraid of sacrifice, resolutely put down the rebellion, and rescue the principal." Gui Yongqing said solemnly.
"Rescue the Headmaster? You can say that again. Zhang Zhizhong repeated the sentence indispensably, and then stepped into the war room.
The war room is located in the main hall of the Guandi Temple, stepping into the hall, facing the martial emperor Guan Yu who is perusing the Spring and Autumn Period, and on both sides is Zhou Cang who is serving the sword and Guan Ping who is fighting the sword.
"Riding a thousand miles, Emperor Wu has been loyal to the martyrs through the ages; Guandi Temple set up a battlefield. The general should have the style of the ancients. Zhang Zhizhong looked happy. casually joked, but the tone was faintly persuasive. /
"Dean of Education. What kind of ancients did I come from," Gui Yongqing knew that he was not bad. So he simply picked out the topic: "The morale of the Northeast Army is very low, our army captured the important town of Weinan in two days, and just in one go, it reached the city of Xi'an, forced Zhang Yang, and sent it back to the principal, but Commander-in-Chief He asked us to stop attacking and turn to defense at this time, I don't know why?" ”
Zhang Zhizhong turned around and looked at Gui Yongqing's puffing appearance, and then swept over the officers of the teaching corps one by one: "Zhou Zhenqiang, Huangpu Phase I; Hu Qiru, Huangpu Phase II; Ma Weilong, Whampoa Phase IV; Zhao Guoyong, Huangpu Phase III; LI Pingzhi; Whampoa Phase IV; ”
The officers whose names were read all held high and their hearts were solemn. Zhang Zhizhong said slowly: "You are all graduates of Huangpu, you are the principal's students, and the principal is personally hand-raised, and now the principal is covered with dust, I understand the feeling that you want to use the power in your hands to save the principal from danger, but have you thought about it, what is the best strategy to save the principal from danger?" Can force alone save the headmaster from danger? Zhuang Wenge said to me, when the kidnappers are cornered, they will tear up the ticket, we are too urgent, will Zhang Yang harm the principal? If they harm the headmaster for this, then you are the indirect murderers of the headmaster. ”
Zhou Zhenqiang is the person in charge of the Blue Coat Society of the Teaching Corps, and he is clear about the call from Chaotian Palace, but he doesn't know the changes in Nanjing, so he stepped forward and asked: "We hit the city of Xi'an, the Northeast Army's heart is shaken, and there will be changes in the city, and there will be seventy percent certainty of rescuing the principal out of danger." ”
"Seventy percent. I think it's stupid! Zhang Zhizhong's face turned blank and said sharply: "The Zhang family father and son have been running the Northeast Army for decades, will they not have a unit in their hands that is completely loyal to him?" In addition, in addition to Zhang Yang, there are also communists, and Commander-in-Chief He has ordered to stop the offensive, and Yu Jishi and Hu Zongnan have carried out the order. Will you go deep alone in the future, and you will still fight under the city of Xi'an? More than 100,000 people have gathered under the city of Xi'an, waiting for you, more than 10,000 people. After so many years of military school education, military practice, and obedience as the duty of soldiers, you won't understand this. ”
Including Gui Yongqing, they were speechless, and Zhang Zhizhong reprimanded a few more words before explaining: "Madame and Song Ziwen will leave for Xi'an, and the matter will soon have a result, the armistice order has been issued, and you must obey the order." ”
Gui Yongqing looked at Zhang Zhizhong, and then looked at the officers around him, Zhang Zhizhong's arrival made him feel the urgency of facing the truce, but he did not feel the danger yet. The officers looked nervous, Gui Yongqing's gaze slid over their faces, he didn't notice that Hu Qiru's nervousness was different from the others.
In a courtyard in this town, there is a twelve-member special operations team of Zhuang Jihua, as long as Zhang Zhizhong gives an order, this special operations team will find an opportunity to ambush Gui Yongqing, and then Hu Qiru will come forward to support Zhang Zhizhong to take over the teaching team. And Yu Jishi's brigade will arrive here as quickly as possible.
But at this moment, Gui Yongqing had already weighed it clearly, and there was no He Yingqin who ordered him to continue the attack, because He Yingqin and the Blue Coat Society were supporting him in the back. There can be a steady stream of ammunition replenishment, but He Yingqin changed his attitude, although the support of the Blue Coat Society is very strong, it can only be politically public opinion, and they cannot provide her with logistical support, nor can they share the enemy's strength for him.
"Educator, a soldier takes obedience as his duty. The students obeyed. Gui Yongqing replied solemnly, with his words, the faces of Zhou Zhenqiang and the others flashed with disappointment, on the contrary, Hu Qiru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the matter finally did not evolve to the worst result, Zhao Hanjie finally had an explanation. Of course, it is Zhang Zhizhong who is more relaxed. He would never want to kill his men.
"Commander-in-Chief He ordered to adjust the deployment of the crusade. The formation of the east and west columns, with Gu Zhutong as the commander-in-chief of the west road, including Hu Zongnan, Guan Linzheng, Ma Hongkui, etc., were all under his unified command; Liu Zhi was the commander-in-chief of the troops on the eastern route, and I was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and I was the commander of the teaching corps. ”
Zhang Zhizhong's words woke up Gui Yongqing suddenly, and he realized that the struggle in Nanjing had become so fierce that He Yingqin's adjustment was tantamount to depriving all the members of the Blue Coat Society of command, and Gu Zhutong and Liu Zhi were both old Whampoa teachers, and their loyalty to Chiang Kai-shek was beyond doubt. And it is the Blue Coat Society's absolute command of immobility.
Twenty days. The armistice decided by the joint meeting had arrived, but Soong Meiling worked hard to get another three-day extension. When the meeting was dismissed, she decided she couldn't wait any longer. Take this powerful opportunity to hurry to Xi'an, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"I think it's okay, my wife and Minister Song will go together, He Yingqin's attitude is not stable, Nanjing can do almost everything, and now we must make a breakthrough in Xi'an to strengthen people's hearts." The meaning of Zhuang Jihua's words is very clear, He Yingqin's attitude may change, and the attitude of those elders may also change, as well as the Blue Coat Society..., Zhuang Jihua finally added: "It must be before Wang Jingwei comes back." ”
This sentence made Song Meiling look a little flustered, Wang Jingwei's political influence is far greater than He Yingqin's, if he comes back to the main battle, then the attitude of most of the elders will change immediately, and once He Yingqin chooses to join Wang Jingwei, then Chiang Kai-shek may really not come back.
"Cultural Revolution, do you have any news of Wang Jingwei?" Song Ziwen frowned and asked, obviously Wang Jingwei also hit the worry in his heart.
"I don't know, no matter when he comes back, the Xi'an negotiation time must be counted, it has been eight days now, that is to say, it has been six or seven days since Wang Jingwei set off from Europe, and if it is delayed for another month, Wang Jingwei should also arrive." Zhuang Jihua said expressionlessly, now that everything that should be done has been done, and no more income can be increased if he invests in it, and Song Meiling should be asked to go to Xi'an to bring Chiang Kai-shek back.
"But, over there in Xi'an..."Kong Xiangxi was still hesitating.
"I think Zhang Xueliang is probably more likely than we want to start negotiations as soon as possible, the Battle of Weinan proves that the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army are in disarray, if the war starts, he will not be able to win, and his original intention of launching the Xi'an Incident may be completely frustrated." Zhuang Jihua added calmly: "Of course, the premise is that he is telling the truth. ”
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Zhang Jingjiang was also a little undecided, he advocated a peaceful settlement and let Chiang Kai-shek come back as soon as possible, but the situation in Xi'an was undecided, and the reply from Duanna was also vague, so it was a bit risky to let Song Meiling go to Xi'an.
"I think what he said should be ninety percent true," Zhuang Jihua thought about finding a reason: "I had contact with Zhang Xueliang in Sichuan, and I felt that he was a relatively straightforward person, and the loss of the three eastern provinces and Rehe put a lot of pressure on him. Secondly, it is the pressure from within the Northeast Army, the officers and men of the Northeast Army have left their hometowns, and the wanderings in the Guannai in the past few years have made their grievances more and more great, Zhang Xueliang must show something to them, otherwise the Northeast Army may collapse itself. Coupled with Zhang Xueliang's family feud, I think ninety percent of his claims are true and credible. ”
Song Meiling pondered for a moment and then said resolutely: "Ziwen and I will leave for Luoyang immediately, wait for the news there, if he says we can go to Xi'an, we will go immediately." ”
Although Song Meiling's words were so, her expression was very nervous, the news from Xi'an was terrifying, the streets were full of soldiers, burning, killing and looting were all done, it was hell on earth.
"Master, Dai Li and I will go with you." Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment, but finally relented, of course he knew that Xi'an was not dangerous at all.
"You can't go." Zhang Jingjiang immediately resolutely objected: "If Madame leaves, you have to stay in Nanjing, you have to keep an eye on He Yingqin, Huangpu classmates want you to contact, and as a last resort, you have to preside over military operations, the Cultural Revolution, you can't leave Nanjing until the chairman comes back." ”
Zhang Jingjiang's words reminded Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, and Song Ziwen immediately said: "Mr. Jingjiang is right, the Cultural Revolution, you can't go." You have to stay in Nanjing and keep an eye on He Yingqin and the Blue Coat Society. ”
Song Meiling also said that Zhuang Jihua couldn't go, Zhuang Jihua sighed and said: "Then Mrs. must bring Yunong with you, Master, I told you before, at the beginning of the incident, I sent three special combat teams to Shaanxi, and they are now hiding outside Xi'an City, this is the last killer I have prepared, it must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, and when to use it, only in Xi'an City can decide, Master, I want to transfer the command of this special combat team to Yunong, and the decision is up to you." ”
"How many of them are there? Can the chairman be saved? It was the first time Kong Xiangxi had heard of it, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"I don't know, but this is the last resort, a very dangerous one, and this force can only be used if the negotiations break down completely." Zhuang Jihua's expression was very serious, and there was probably only one in 10,000 hope of rescuing Chiang Kai-shek from the army.
Song Meiling nodded, and then called Dai Li, Zhuang Jihua explained to him in detail how to contact him, and Dai Li also knew that Zhuang Jihua intended to let him go to Xi'an with Song Meiling, although he was worried, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
On the evening of the 20th, Song Meiling and Song Ziwen arrived in Luoyang, and shortly after their arrival, a plane flying from Xi'an also landed in Xi'an, and Duan Na returned from Xi'an.
Duan Na told Soong Meiling that after the loss of Weinan, the city of Xi'an was very panicked, and some wealthy people began to flee outside the city, and the middle and low-ranking officers of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were emotional, some wanted to kill Chiang Kai-shek and fight to the death with the Central Committee, some wanted to retreat to the west, and some wanted to run north. Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng have issued notices to the whole army several times, before he came back this time, Zhang Xueliang asked him to tell Song Meiling that if she didn't stop attacking, she didn't need to go to Xi'an, and Duan Na also told Song Meiling that he had sent Zhou Enlai and Ye Jianying as representatives and had arrived in Xi'an.
