The Battle of Kaifeng shocked China and foreign countries, the Chinese people raised their eyebrows, the enemy was frightened, and swept away the pessimism and vacillation that permeated the sky over China after Wang Jingwei's treason. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The shock was not only in the rear, but also in the occupied zone, but also in the Japanese army.

Whether it is the national * army or the guerrilla anti-Japanese armed forces, the lack of the ability to attack fortifications is the general consensus of the Japanese army. The siege of the city is the first heavy firepower, and the anti-Japanese army just lacks siege firepower.

Therefore, during the siege of the city, it was almost always a tragic charge with light infantry equipment. Lightly armed troops can bravely rush to the outskirts of the city, but in the face of fortified bunkers such as barbed wire fences in the city, it is inevitable that there will be the embarrassment of being powerless.

On the premise that it was not very clear what had happened in the Battle of Kaifeng, it was normal for the Japanese army to think that it was necessary to strengthen the garrisons in cities and counties, especially in areas that could be directly attacked.

Other places may not have much impact, but in northern Henan, in Shangqiu, Xinxiang and other places, the new Yellow River is obviously no longer able to stop the attack of the Chinese* army. And this is exactly the result that Yang Tianfeng hopes to achieve.

"Xinggo, why are you in such a hurry?" Sun Tongxuan tried her last effort to persuade Yang Tianfeng to stay for a few more days, "Commander-in-Chief Wei will get up from Luoyang in a few days and come to Zhengzhou to reward the soldiers who participated in the war. ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Sun, for your kindness." Yang Tianfeng shook his head and said: "The victory in Kaifeng will definitely cause the mobilization of the Japanese army in northern and eastern Henan. ”

Sun Tongxuan smiled helplessly, and no longer persuaded, "Xingwu helped this time, the Third Army is very grateful, if the Third Column is in trouble, there will only be a telegram, and the Third Army will definitely do its best to help." ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief Sun, and thank you to the officers and men of the Third Army." Yang Tianfeng arched his hand, pondered for a while, and still reminded: "Our army can cross the river to attack, and the Japanese army can also cross the river to attack, the defense area of the Third Army is very large, and Commander-in-Chief Sun must be very careful." ”

Sun Tongxuan patted Yang Tianfeng's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with Xingwu providing weapons and ammunition, our army will be ready for battle, it will definitely be fine." ”

Yang Tianfeng opened his mouth, but swallowed his words back. The loss of Zhengzhou was a long time later, and now the reminder of my mother-in-law is very unnecessary.

The ships and vehicles that transported the materials had already set off, and Yang Tianfeng did not have the guns and ammunition to be captured this time, but shipped all the experimental equipment, generators, batteries, telephone exchanges, etc., as well as all the Japanese expatriates captured in Kaifeng City, and he also asked them to leave. Sun Tongxuan felt unhappy, and promised to do her best to help Yang Tianfeng collect the equipment and materials he needed.

Saying goodbye to Sun Tongxuan and the others again, climbing the saddle and getting on the horse, Yang Tianfeng waved his hand vigorously and galloped away with his whip.

"This kid, help us do it in Kaifeng, and I'm ready to make a move in eastern Henan again." Zhou Zunshi looked at the dust in the distance and said with a smile: "I am optimistic about him, and he will definitely become a famous general in the future." ”

"I just wonder where he got so many whimsical ideas, so many weird weapons." Sun Tongxuan thought of the sky-bombing cannon that was like a big toad squatting with its mouth open, and frowned slightly, "Whether our miscellaneous army can improve its combat power and whether it can make people dare not despise it depends on his weapon supply." ”

"Commander-in-Chief Wei came to inspect and commend him, but he wouldn't just send some pieces of paper like Lao Jiang, but just add officials to knighthood and award medals, right?" He Guishi sneered and said: "In our eyes, these are not as useful as sending some machine guns and cannons, and it is better to send more military salaries!" ”

Sun Tongxuan looked at everyone with a wry smile, did not speak, and walked away slowly with her hands behind her back, her back looking very lonely.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the strong national consciousness and extreme hatred of the enemy, the hearts of millions of people were completely identical. Everyone unanimously obeyed the central government and went all out to resist the war. If the central authorities of the Kuomintang had been able to get rid of their usual narrow-mindedness, be selfless, treat everyone equally, and make good use of the combat capability of all units, then after eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it would have been possible for these millions of people to melt into a furnace and become a national army with one mind and one heart and one mind.

What is unconvincing is that the armed forces of the whole country are forcibly divided into "central departments" and so-called "miscellaneous cards." In terms of weapons, ammunition, clothing, and rations, the Central Army was replenished without restrictions, while the miscellaneous army was detained.

For example, the central government's deal with Pang Bingxun, when all armies were expanding, Pang Jun was ordered to cut a regiment; Another example is that the Sichuan army drove to Xuzhou and tried its best to ask for reinforcements, and the central government made an exception to replenish 250 rifles per army. This is really a "drop in the bucket", how can it help?

Therefore, at the moment when the great enemy is present, the friendly forces fighting side by side have abundant food, good weapons and food, and are arrogant; Some of them are hungry and poorly armed. How can they be able to do the same with their strength without complaint?

The consequences of such discrimination are even more numerous. As far as the "Central Army" is concerned, all the top and bottom are the "protégés of the Son of Heaven" who have the ability to "reach the sky." Everyone only obeys the orders of the leader, and the generals are not in harmony, and they are tilted up and down, and their combat capability naturally cannot be improved.

However, when the law is violated, everyone is a classmate of Whampoa, and the officials defend each other and deceive the highest authorities. Because most of the high-ranking personnel in the Judge Advocate General's Department are Whampoa graduates, they are embarrassed to act as traitors, even though He Zhongming is guilty of no crimes, he can still get away with it.

As for the miscellaneous army units themselves, in this lawless situation, they are trying their best to save themselves. They all knew that the central authorities wanted to use the war of resistance against Japan to eliminate them, and they would withhold food and salaries in peacetime and not replenish them in wartime, and when they were almost exhausted, they would dismiss them or reorganize them into other units, and the vacated numbers could be supplemented by "descendants."

The so-called miscellaneous troops, which are also divided into levels. For example, because of the brilliant results of the five theaters in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the central authorities had to look at it differently.

In addition, as the proverb goes, "there are people in the DPRK who are good at being officials." In the Gui department, Bai Chongxi was appointed deputy chief of the general staff, and concurrently served as the head of the military training department, and Li Zongren was appointed commander of the theater. Therefore, the Guangxi troops finally benefited from the central government's gifts.

As for other troops, such as the troops of Chen Yi, director of Fujian's appeasement, although they are also "miscellaneous," Chen Yi is after all a native of Zhejiang and a fellow countryman of Mr. Jiang, so he has also received some preferential treatment.

The worst thing is the lonely ghost with no background. For example, Pang Bingxun, Gao Shuxun, and Sun Dianying were the first to do it, followed by the Northwest Army commanded by Feng Yuxiang, the Northeast Army commanded by Zhang Xueliang, the Guangdong Army commanded by Chen Jitang, the Hunan Army commanded by Tang Shengzhi, and the armies of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces.

The central government is deliberately trying to eliminate them. In view of the shortage of food and wages, the central authorities also sent a large number of Huangpu students to serve as their senior staff officers and deputy commanders. In fact, these people were Mr. Chiang's eyes and ears, and they reported to Mr. Chiang every word and deed to the troops, sometimes even out of nothing. In peacetime, he is powerful in the army, and he has nothing to spare. (To be continued.) )
