Chapter 1130: Who Can Strike Immediately?

On February 20, 1936, 25,000 soldiers of the Red Army crossed the Yellow River from Shaanxi and took five ferries in one fell swoop: Zhongyang Shilouzhiping Village, Hejiawa, Mokou, Jundu, and Sanjiao Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yan Xishan, the commander of the Jin Sui Army, denounced to the national media that the army had blatantly invaded when it was in short supply, burning, killing, looting everywhere, and did all kinds of evil, and said that he would mobilize heavy troops to intercept it, and strive to wipe out the main force of the Red Army in the north of the Yellow River.

At the same time, tens of thousands of students from colleges and universities in the Pingjin area held a vigorous anti-Japanese national salvation congress, and Song Zheyuan, who succumbed to the pressure, resolutely carried out demonstrations, increasing the intensity of the demonstrations one by one, and hundreds of patriotic students were branded as "**** elements" and arrested.

At the beginning of March, Zhang Xueliang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression Command, presided over a meeting to suppress the Communist Party, and the four armies of Zhu Shaoliang, Yang Hucheng, Hu Zongnan, and Ma Hongkui immediately began to rush to the aid of Shanxi, and Shang Zhen's 32nd Army also marched into Shanxi to help in the battle.

In June last year, Hu Zongnan was almost defeated by the main force of the Central Red Army in Songpan, and then withdrew to Shaanxi to reorganize the army, and in September he took up the post of commander of the second column of the First Route Army of the "Northwest Suppression of Bandits," and took up the post of commander of the First Army at the beginning of this year. After crossing the Yellow River, Hu Zongnan commanded the First Army to encounter the main force of the Red Army first, and then Guan Lin marched the 25th Division to attack with surprise troops, and regained Linfen in one fell swoop.

The Japanese army was overjoyed to see the outbreak of civil war in Shanxi, and the Fifth Division recklessly crossed the Shanhai Pass and directly entered the Pingjin line, and the situation in North China was once again sharply turbulent.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Soviet Russia openly violated the "Sino-Russian Agreement" jointly signed by the two governments, signed an alliance agreement with the puppet Mongolian regime, regarded Outer Mongolia as a sovereign state, and openly sent troops to trample on Chinese territory according to the so-called "Russian-Mongolian Alliance Agreement", and carried out subversion and subversion of Chinese territory in an extremely barbaric manner.

An Yi, who had just returned from an inspection in southern Yunnan, received an urgent telegram from Chiang Kai-shek and immediately convened a military meeting, followed by a Qingming sacrifice activity, and issued an order to prepare for war in front of the martyrs who sacrificed for the country.

On April 6, An Yi flew to the city of Nanjing, where he had been absent for a long time, reported to Chiang Kai-shek, and immediately joined in the intense strategic discussion.

At this critical juncture, the Wuhan Student National Salvation Federation was forcibly disbanded by the order of Yang Yongtai, the new chairman of Hubei Province, and the patriotic students of the Beiping military and police were killed.

In Syria, which has always been orderly, patriotic students and teachers were filled with righteous indignation, and held a meeting of 50,000 teachers and students for two consecutive days to show solidarity with patriotic students in Wuhan and Beiping.

The representatives of teachers and students were received by Gu Changfeng, deputy commander of the Second Route Army, Ye Cheng, chief of staff, and other generals.

The army's frank and solemn stance won the understanding of the teachers and students, and the Syrian government once again returned to an orderly and normal state, but the request of tens of thousands of students and patriotic young people to join the army brought endless troubles to the generals and colonies of the Anjia army. While warlords elsewhere were worried about not being able to recruit soldiers, the generals of the An family army had to worry about how to discourage thousands of young intellectuals from becoming soldiers.

When the news reached Nanjing, the Standing Committee members were extremely envious, and they joked and asked An Yi to help recruit one or two thousand recruits from southern Sichuan, and supplement them to the various descendants of the Central Army.

On 10 April, a secret report came from Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, that Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi held a secret meeting in Guangzhou, and decided to immediately make preparations for war, and to occupy Hunan and Jiangxi, where the army was empty, in the name of going north to resist Japan, and then to chase the Central Plains.

Chiang Kai-shek was shocked, and immediately took An Yi and Chen Cheng to Wuhan, convened an enlarged military and political conference in Hubei Province, and delivered an important speech on "firmly safeguarding national unity and opposing any warlord separatist and creation", and organized Hubei provincial military and political officials to study and discuss in two days, successfully unifying thinking and stabilizing Hubei.

After Hubei settled down, Chiang Kai-shek took An Yi and Chen Cheng and flew non-stop to Chongqing, held the same meeting as Hubei, and successfully stabilized Liu Xiang, who secretly "exchanged views" with Li Zongren, and attended the opening ceremony of the Chengdu branch of the Central Army Military Academy, and flew to Kunming by special plane the next morning.

Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek flew to Guiyang, Changsha, Nanchang, Fuzhou, and Anqing, and returned to Nanjing in a circle, which was already 5 May.

An Yi returned to the office of the Military Commission, and the British and American ambassadors walked into the office of Chiang Kai-shek, who was also the president of the State Council, at the same time, and proposed to the central government a strong condemnation of the Chinese government and customs for inaction, allowing the government to support its enterprises to smuggle a large amount of refined oil to North China and Shandong, causing great harm to British and American enterprises.

Chiang Kai-shek was anxious, and a phone call called An Yi and Song Ziwen over to hold open and frank discussions with the British and American ambassadors.

When the British and American ambassadors saw An Yi, they immediately had a smile on their faces, especially the commercial counselor White who came with the British ambassador, holding An Yi's hand and saying happily that the Yunnan-Burma border treaty port has repeatedly achieved good results, and it is expected that the import and export volume in the second quarter of this year will exceed 100 million yuan, an increase of 2.5 times compared with the first quarter.

An Yi responded enthusiastically, saying that the southern Yunnan side would continue to work hard, and suggested that the British government extend the railway from Lashio to the two customs clearance ports in southern Yunnan and the Wan Town port in western Yunnan.

White replied that the Burmese colonial government had submitted a report of the application to the British and that the results were expected to be available soon. Due to the rapid economic growth of Burma, the British Cabinet has begun to negotiate the separation of Burma from the jurisdiction of the Indian Governor and the direct integration of Burma from the government.

Not far behind, the U.S. ambassador took the initiative to lean over and ask An Yi if Jiangnan Group and southern Sichuan enterprises could find a way to supply the United States with more bristles, tung oil and refined tungsten products. An Yi said politely that all aspects are working hard and are expected to solve the problem this autumn.

The four of them chatted happily, and couldn't help but start looking forward to the future, choking Song Ziwen, who had no one on the side. Chiang Kai-shek was very happy, at least the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became relaxed, and the pressure was much lessened, and it was easy to talk about it any matter how much it went on.

Sure enough, as Chiang Kai-shek expected, the British and American ambassadors reiterated the opinions of the two governments with a smile, and then politely said goodbye, and the well-prepared Song Ziwen went out for more than 40 minutes from coming in to going out, and failed to insert a word, seeing Chiang Kai-shek smiling and instructing the attendant to serve tea to An Yi, Song Ziwen walked behind An Yi in annoyance, gave An Yi a slap on the head, and then calmly straightened his tie and walked away.

……

On 12 May, Hu Hanmin, who had rushed to Guangzhou to attend the Guangzhou-Guangxi Military and Political Conference, died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was discussing military affairs in North China with An Yi, was shocked to hear the bad news, walked to the window and stood solemnly for a long time, and said with tears in his eyes: "The old chairman is gone, no one can suppress the two Guangxi heroes, we have to prepare for war again!" ”

On 16 May, in disregard of the strong opposition of the Chinese Government and the people of North China, the Japanese army openly dispatched troops to Beiping City under the pretext of "preventing red disasters and protecting overseas Chinese," and set up a Japanese brigade headquarters in Beiping City.

The two officers and men under the command of Song Zheyuan were extremely indignant, and they had no choice but to grovel and be shamefully cowardly and strictly forbidden, ordering all personnel not to go out of the barracks, otherwise they would all be dealt with by military law, which was exactly the same as the handling of the Northeast Army when it faced the September 18 Incident.

Seeing that their army was so weak and incompetent, the people from all walks of life in Beiping could no longer suppress the grief and indignation in their hearts, and began to shout angrily at the garrison, and even scolded loudly.

At 9 a.m. on 17 May, the tax police of the Hebei Provincial Taxation and Inspection Bureau received a report that they had successfully investigated and dealt with a large number of Korean ronins who were smuggling cloth and daily industrial products in the north of Baoding, and seized all the goods of 13 large and small trucks.

More than 130 Korean ronins actually pulled out long knives and slashed the Chinese tax police, killing three tax policemen and slashing more than 10 tax officials. This group of Korean ronin, with the support of the *** secret service and testing the attitude of the 17th Army by breaking through the pass, did not want to give up after the killing, and continued to wield long knives, chasing and killing the escaped Chinese tax officials and tax police, and the town government police and patrol gendarmes on both sides of the road actually stopped and looked around, not daring to stop.

A tax collector with his palm cut off rushed to the gate of the headquarters of the 17th Army, grabbed the bloody wound, and cried out for help.

Hu Jialin, who was holding a military meeting at the headquarters, heard the news, and was furious, and Huang Yingwu, director of the first department, immediately led a guard battalion to drive to the north of the city, and the angry officers and soldiers flew down without waiting for the military vehicle to stop.

Huang Yingwu couldn't help but say, and immediately ordered that all the murderers be escorted back to the camp, and all vehicles and materials were seized.

At this time, the foreign affairs officials of the Hebei Provincial Government and the officials of the Consulate in Beiping arrived in a hurry, demanding that the officers and men of the 17th Army immediately release the detained Korean ronin, and Song Zheyuan's confidential adjutant also drove from the provincial government that had just moved to Baoding, asking Huang Yingwu to think about the overall situation and unconditionally release the Korean ronin and all goods.

Huang Yingwu blushed, pointed to the three corpses of tax policemen on the ground and a stall of blood, and pointed to the dozen or so injured tax officials and innocent people who were helped by the first aid personnel of the field hospital of the headquarters to help them into the ambulance, and angrily asked the provincial government authorities, how should this be handled? Is the life of our Chinese so worthless?

Under the angry eyes of Huang Yingwu and the officers and soldiers of the 17th Army, and in the almost out-of-control shouts of the more and more people in Baoding who gathered in all directions, not only did not dare to deal with it impartially, but instead asked the consular officer who was watching coldly and could not be beaten.

The consular officer waved his hand and said arrogantly, first put the people and materials away, and only then can the consulate consider taking over the case, and everything needs to be tried before it can be qualitated and handled.

Huang Yingwu finally broke out, and loudly ordered Xiao Qian, the head of the guard regiment, to immediately send all the seized materials back to the camp, and walked to the middle of the long street with a big stride, and roared loudly: "Ling Qian-"

"Here!"

Colonel Ling Qian, the head of the special service group who arrived with a small detachment, replied loudly. The audience immediately fell silent because of this roar, and thousands of pairs of eyes quickly focused on Huang Yingwu.

Huang Yingwu gritted his teeth and asked, "How many tax policemen and officials have we killed?" And how many were injured? ”

"Director of the report, three dead and sixteen wounded, seven of whom are in critical condition." Huang Yingwu's adjutant ran to Ling Qian's side in time and replied loudly.

Huang Yingwu was furious: "Immediately let the surviving officials and tax police identify the murderer!" ”

"Yes!"

Ling Qian dared to slack off, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the convoy and invited three injured tax policemen covered in blood.

With the support of the powerful officers and men of the 17th Army, the three tax policemen immediately vented their grief and indignation, and quickly pointed out two of the leaders and the four most ferocious gangsters from among the more than 100 Korean ronins who were beaten to their knees by the soldiers of the 17th Army with the butts of their guns.

Huang Yingwu smiled coldly, made a gesture to Ling Qian to chop vegetables, walked to his special car without looking back, and walked away.

Ling Qian ordered loudly, escorted the six identified murderers to the middle of the street, knelt in a row, and the military and political officials of the Hebei Provincial Government next to him were shocked, shouting for mercy to their subordinates, and the two *** consular officers no longer had the slightest calmness and arrogance, rushed to the Hebei Provincial officials, roared loudly, and kept threatening each other, and the provincial government officials were so frightened that they were about to rush forward to stop the execution.

"Bang Bang Bang-"

After a burst of gunfire, the six ronins were splattered with brains and blood splashed under the close shooting of high-powered military pistols, and after thousands of people shouted in surprise, they cheered in unison and clapped their hands, and for a time the slogans of "blood debt and blood repayment" and "long live the 17th Army" rose one after another.

After the execution, all the soldiers of the An Jiajun were evacuated, and more than 100 released North Korean ronins were frightened, still kneeling on the ground, the scene was boiling, the people did not disperse for a long time, and the extremely angry *** consular officials loudly reprimanded the extremely flustered Hebei provincial officials.

Suddenly, the siren sounded, and more than a dozen personnel carriers loaded with heavily armed soldiers slowly drove up, and the loudspeaker on the first personnel carrier kept playing an important order:

"Following the urgent order of the Central Military Commission, the 17th Army will launch martial law on all defense areas from now on! Following the urgent order of the Central Military Commission, the 17th Army will launch martial law in all defense areas from now on......"
