Chapter 1131 Mutual Temptation

Nanjing Panlong Road, *** compound. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Outside a small two-story western-style building at the back of the office building, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, in the simple conference room inside the building, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Vice Chairman Feng Yuxiang, Central Military Commission Standing Committee Standing Committee He Yingqin, Cheng Qian, Chen Tiaoyuan, Tang Shengzhi, Central Military Commission member Yang Jie, and co-opted member Chen Cheng gathered together to listen to the report of An Yi, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, on the development of the situation in North China and its countermeasures.

Vice Chairman Yan Xishan, Standing Committee Member Zhang Xueliang, and Committee Member Shang Zhen were busy suppressing the Communist Party in the northwest and were unable to attend this extremely important secret meeting, while the rest of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, such as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, members of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, and members Chen Jitang and Song Zheyuan, have attended any meeting since the reorganization of the Military Commission.

Forty days ago, the commanders of the squadron, who were pressed by the Japanese army step by step and frequently humiliated, finally agreed to the joint proposal of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Vice Chairman Feng Yuxiang under the condition that they could not bear it anymore, and made a unanimous decision:

General An Yi, a new member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, was urgently recruited to return to Beijing to be responsible for analyzing the crisis situation and trend in North China and formulating a sound military response plan.

The formulation of this important plan was initially decided to be presided over by He Yingqin, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission and minister of military affairs, but at the preparatory meeting, He Yingqin resigned, on the grounds that he could not command the garrisons in North China, and among the garrisons in North China, the 17th Army had the strongest combat strength, and it was more appropriate to suggest that An Yi should be specifically responsible.

Chiang Kai-shek and Feng Yuxiang, who had already made a judgment on this, were greatly disappointed by He Yingqin's negative performance, and without saying a word, they immediately agreed to He Yingqin's suggestion, and through organizational procedures, appointed An Yi as the person in charge of this top-secret plan, and gave An Yi the power to deal with it on the spot during the implementation of the plan.

During this period, in order to confuse the Japanese invaders and increase the degree of secrecy, An Yi followed the side of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, frequently inspected the provinces, and created the false impression that Chiang Kai-shek and his generals were busy fighting fires everywhere, but secretly together with Yang Jie and Chen Cheng, who were traveling with them, they were in full swing to repeatedly discuss and revise the final plan.

One of the most important items in the plan is to test each other militarily and in the field. In view of the long-term weakness of the military and political governments in North China and the misguided policy pursued by the pro-Japanese Wang Ching-wei clique over the past two years, every step of the Japanese army's tentative action has achieved its strategic objectives, and sometimes it has even far exceeded the results that the Japanese army wants to achieve, with the result that the Japanese army's confidence has doubled, and its ambitions have swelled up all of a sudden, and it has become more unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and the situation in North China has reached a critical edge that is irreparable.

Since the Meiji Restoration, the government and the opposition have been making unremitting efforts to completely invade China, and in the more than 20 years since the founding of the Republic of China, the Japanese army invading China has seized every opportunity in a very timely and shrewd manner and carried out it step by step according to a huge and meticulous plan.

In the first place, through the long-term provocation of military and political officials stationed in China, the armed forces and forces of various ministries in China were dismantled, a large number of senior officials of the central government in Nanjing were bribed, and the traitor lackeys who were carefully cultivated more than ten years ago to study abroad were used to establish prestige for the traitor leaders who had forgotten their ancestors, and then successfully placed them in important positions in various ministries and commissions of the Chinese central government, stole a large amount of political intelligence from the central government, repeatedly analyzed it, and constantly adjusted its action plan.

Especially after the 918 incident, the ambitious *** successfully seized the God-given opportunity of China's civil war and mutual consumption, and successfully supported Wang Jingwei's pro-Japanese government with both soft and hard means, and achieved its greatest strategic goal at the lowest cost. There is simply no need to use more capital in the torment of the economic crisis.

It is precisely because of Wang Jingwei's assassination and China's successful implementation of currency reform that it has stagnated in China and suffered huge economic losses, and it may use its invading army to carry out military intimidation actions at a critical time when the country is mired in an economic crisis and is struggling to survive, and the contradictions within the military and the army and the cabinet are intensifying, in a vain attempt to exchange the greatest benefits for the lowest price again.

However, after paying the tragic price of the fall of the Northeast land, the gradual development of Mongolia, the intensification of the crisis in North China, and the tragic economic invasion, countless Chinese people gradually woke up and saw clearly the ferocious face of the Japanese invaders and the huge ambition of the countryIn particular, the accidental assassination of Wang Jingwei at the end of last year gave the Chiang Kai-shek clique a God-given opportunity, and China and Japan also entered a state of poverty and dagger in advance due to the collapse of Wang Jingwei's pro-Japanese government.

An Yi, who was "coldly treated" by Chiang Kai-shek in the second half of last year, regained the opportunity to ascend to the top and rose to a higher position than his original position, not only because of the judgment of the senior officials of the Nanjing Central Committee and the outside world, but also because it was a compromise that the Chiang Kai-shek clique had to make in the internal struggle, and even An Yi himself still did not realize that he had been an important pawn in Chiang Kai-shek's hands for several years.

Compared with the strong economic strength and alliance of An Yi Group, what Chiang Kai-shek values most is An Yi's firm anti-Japanese stance, strong patriotism and sense of mission, important influence among the whole people, and 300,000 soldiers in his hands.

Looking at the whole of China, at present, only An Yi dares to fight and is good at fighting.

An Yi's military genius and amazing foresight and judgment far exceeded any of Chiang Kai-shek's generals, so An Yi naturally became Chiang Kai-shek's first choice to achieve local strategic goals.

An Yi did live up to expectations, and this top-secret plan, which was drafted in just a few dozen days, made the Standing Committee of the Military Commission refreshed -- An Yi keenly grasped the Achilles' heel of the Japanese army invading China, that is, all military operations were not supported by the domestic military and political circles, especially the cabinet. For a long time, it was the adventures and successes of the Kwantung Army and the garrison army that promoted the military mobilization in China, but it was not the country that led the process of invading China, and now this difference is increasing.

In addition to Chiang Kai-shek and Yang Jie, a theoretician in the army, the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, who were extremely shrewd in the internal struggle and listened to all directions, did not realize that there were still huge internal contradictions in the country, as well as the sharp struggle between the military and political circles, and the constant internal friction between the navy and the army. Most people listened carefully to An Yi's detailed analysis of the two countries' environment, economic situation and other strategic aspects, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

An Yi clearly pointed out in the analysis report: The total strength of the hideous Kwantung Army and the North China Garrison Army is only 125,000 people, most of which still need to guard the northeast region, which has become the lifeblood of the national economy and a blood transfusion bank, and always be vigilant against the increasingly powerful Soviet Russian Red Army in the north. If it weren't for the 100,000 puppet Manchurian troops who have been vigorously supported by the Kwantung Army Headquarters for several years and are willing to act as their lackeys, if it weren't for the fact that our government and the selfish northern princes were submissive, so that the Japanese invaders seized every opportunity and successfully promoted the Mongols to calmly establish a puppet Mongolian armed force that plotted to ******, the Kwantung Army would not have been able to invade Suiyuan and coerce the Jincha region. As of the beginning of this month, the "Tianjin Garrison Army," which numbered only 8,600 troops, did not dare to challenge the endurance of the Chinese government and the military and the people again, and brazenly stationed in Beiping City, still less did it dare to change its name to the "North China Garrison Army."

After nearly an hour of presentation, An Yi turned his attention to the "Baoding incident" that occurred yesterday morning:

"With the approval of the chairman of the committee and the consent of the special meeting of the Central Military Commission, five days ago, I secretly ordered General Hu Jialin of the 17th Army to start the implementation of the 'No. 3 Plan' in the Cangzhou area, which is close to Tianjin, to test the reaction of the Tianjin garrison army by resolutely cracking down on the Japanese and South Korean smugglers passing through the defense area of the 17th Division.

"After studying and analyzing with the two generals Yang Jie and Chen Cheng, we have come to the unanimous conclusion that the Japanese army in North China, like us, used the smuggling operation of the Korean ronin to spy on the attitude, position and reaction of the 17th Army, the only uncompromising army in North China. I'm afraid that the Japanese army didn't expect that the 17th Army, which dared to be hundreds of traitors at a time, would shoot six North Korean murderers in front of their consular officials this time, and they didn't care about any face of the Hebei provincial government at all. To be honest, I didn't expect it either. ”

Everyone let out a chuckle, and Feng Yuxiang said happily: "Before I left Mount Tai for Beijing at the end of last year, I highly praised the officers and men of the 17th Army and their commander Hu Jialin in my speech to the outside world. General Hu Jialin, who is from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, is worthy of being a fierce general, and his director Huang Yingwu and his generals are also iron-clad men, and the title of 'iron-blooded hero' awarded by *** is not an exaggeration. This decisive action to resolutely punish the Korean ronin undoubtedly showed their firm stance to the Japanese invaders, and the subsequent rapid martial law action in the defense area caught the Japanese invaders by surprise.

"Personally, I think this may be the reason why the Japanese army in North China has not moved so far. Judging from the information sent back from Beiping from yesterday to noon today, the Japanese army only made strong demands to the Jicha Political Affairs Committee and the Hebei Provincial Government through the two consulates in Beiping and Tianjin, demanding that the main generals of the 17th Army be severely punished, that the dead and wounded Koreans be compensated, and that the seized materials be returned. ”

Everyone thought deeply and nodded again and again.

Chiang Kai-shek said suddenly: "There is another point, Brother Huanzhang and you need to pay attention to the fact that the newly appointed commander of the North China Garrison Army, Tashiro Wanichiro, and the brigade commander of the Fifth Division, Kawabe Shozo, are holding talks with General Song Zheyuan, and the Japanese army is obviously afraid of the attitude of the 65,000 officers and men of the 29th Army.

"Because of the decisive disposition of the 17th Army, the 29th Army, which has been criticized by the people and students in the Pingjin area recently, has been greatly touched, and I analyze that in case of fighting, the various departments of the 29th Army have only two choices, one is to flee in panic, and the other is to rise up to resist the war. Therefore, in the face of the Japanese army in North China, which had no chance of victory, they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke a war at this time, and they had to stabilize the 29th Army first.

"To this end, I have ordered Zhang Qun to rush to Shanghai for urgent consultations with Ambassador ***. Since the Japanese army did not dare to test the reaction of the 17th Army with the lives of the *** ronin, but to test the Korean and North Korean spies they supported, they must have been fully mentally prepared.

"At present, we only need to use both soft and hard measures, stick to our position and do not waver, North China will not fight immediately, and we can continue to implement the plan step by step. According to General An Yi's opinion, I would like to ask Brother Huan Zhang to go to Jinan and Beiping to meet the original old subordinates, boost their military morale, and not get too close to the *** people. I wonder if Brother Huanzhang is convenient? ”

Under the expectant gaze of Chiang Kai-shek and the generals, Feng Yuxiang thought about it a little, and immediately generously agreed: "Okay, I just want to meet them and ask them if they still remember the ideals of the year?" ”

An Yi and Chiang Kai-shek glanced at each other, turned to Feng Yuxiang, who was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "With the Duke of Huan, a big thing can be done!" The younger generations deeply admired General Han Fuqu's resolute opposition to the autonomy of North China and his patriotic feelings and high demeanor in severely rejecting the coercion and temptation of the Japanese invaders, and were willing to do their best for the officers and men of General Han Fuqu's Third Route Army.

"If the seniors think it is feasible, the juniors want to ask General Chen Cheng, director of the Army Finishing Office, and General Lin Wei, director of the Quanxu Department, to follow the seniors to Jinan to inspect the Third Route Army, and give priority to General Han Fuqu within a month to allocate the equipment of a main adjustment division. The equipment was provided by the arsenal of the younger generation, and except for the artillery, the rest were exactly the same as the newly formed instructors of the 17th Army. ”

Feng Yuxiang's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had added a lot of confidence to this trip, and he was very happy:

"Good! All right! General An Gao Yi, you generously contributed to the people of Shandong during the flood last year, and now you are doing your best for the Shandong army, which is extremely admirable! I thanked the general on behalf of Han Xiaosi, haha! ”
