Chapter 1415 is a brilliant plan

Nanjing under the morning haze, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located in the eastern suburbs of Zhongshan at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, the north is south, the momentum is magnificent, and the Ming Dynasty founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang mausoleum "Ming filial piety mausoleum" across the slope. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was built in the 15th year of the Republic of China, completed in the spring of 18 years, and the body of Mr. Zhongshan was moved to Biyun Temple in June of the same year for burial. The mausoleum is in the form of a wooden duo, built by the mountain, rises step by step from south to north, is the archway, the tomb road, the mausoleum gate, the stele pavilion, the platform, and finally the sacrificial hall and the burial chamber. The total area of the cemetery is more than 45,000 acres, of which 32,000 acres are woods, and there are auxiliary buildings such as the music platform, Guanghua Pavilion, water pavilion and Meiling Palace. Standing on the high place of the mausoleum and overlooking the distance, there is the surging river in front of it, there is the towering Zhongshan mountain in the back, there is the bell of Linggu Temple on the left, and the filial piety tomb of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is accompanied by the right side, it really occupies the scenery of the world, and it is an imperial atmosphere.

Mausoleum, the emperor's tomb palace also. It is said that in the second year of the Republic of China, Mr. Zhongshan came to Zhongshan to hunt, climbed a height, and couldn't help but be intoxicated, and asked the mayor of Nanjing, who accompanied him: After a hundred years of Sun, would he be willing to borrow a treasure land from Guishan to settle down!

Because of the conclusive words, and Mr. Zhongshan repeatedly mentioned that he would like to be buried in Zhongshan after his death, so after the death of Mr. Zhongshan, although he was still in a corner of peace (not yet in the Northern Expedition), he still sent important people to invite Mr. Feng Shui to Zhongshan to inspect with huge sums of money, and after all kinds of yin and yang gossip arguments, the tomb site was selected, and the drawings of the funds were raised by bidding, which cost 2.4 million silver dollars, mobilized hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was completed.

Chiang Kai-shek, together with his wife Song Meiling, accompanied by Sun Ke, Wang Jingwei, Ju Zheng, Yu Youren, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang, Tang Shengzhi, Lin Wei, and other military and political officials, slowly climbed the stone steps of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

The cemetery is silent, and the high stone steps leading to Mr. Nakayama's tomb are like a road to heaven under the rising sun.

Zhongshan is like Dai, the earth is silent, Linggu Temple rings the bell of excess, and all the hustle and bustle of the world, such as war, hatred, power, money, and fighting each other to the death, are all extinguished here.

Time is like an eternal river, the mighty and mighty never stops, and the soul of the former prime minister is smiling towards the world on that high and rising mountain. Isn't everything personal, including power, status, possessions, and even life, a passing thing compared to eternity?

After visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it was almost noon.

When the chairman of the committee and a group of senior officials descended the mountain, Lieutenant General Zhao Rui, director of the Fourth Department of the base camp, Major General Xu Zuyi, director of the Second Department of the General Staff Headquarters, and Colonel Dai Li, director of the Investigation Division of the Military Command Bureau, hurried to meet them.

Seeing that the troika of the intelligence department was all dispatched, everyone who followed Chiang Kai-shek knew very well in their hearts that something big had happened.

All the civil officials left automatically, but Song Meiling had no intention of leaving, obviously wanting to hear what was happening. Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and took people to the Meiling Palace on Xiaohong Mountain to the west of the cemetery.

After sitting down in the conference room, Zhao Rui stood up first and said to Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, who were sitting in the chair: "Commission, madam, generals. According to our Fourth Department's inquiries from various sources, and four groups of intelligence personnel were dispatched to infiltrate the territory of Northeast China, and 29 outstanding spy personnel were sacrificed one after another, which lasted nearly a month, and finally figured out the actual situation in Northeast China and the real reason for the ceasefire between the Japanese army and our side.

After the staff of the fourth hall who signaled to follow hung a large map of Northeast China on the display table on the side of the conference room, Zhao Rui came to the map, picked up the baton placed in front of the display table, and pointed to the northern part of Northeast China:

"Since January this year, an armed force has been active in the Changbai Mountains and the Greater and Lesser Xing'an Mountains, frequently attacking mines, towns, villages and cantonments controlled by the Japanese army, and slowly growing and growing. In July, the Japanese army brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, and the Kwantung Army took advantage of the situation to enter the pass in a big way, and the troops in the northeast were relatively empty, so the armed forces of the army took the opportunity to attack and seize Jining, and then swept the Sanjiang Plain adjacent to the Surin coastal area with lightning speed, and took dozens of towns including Jiamusi, Fujin, Boli, Linkou, and Suifenhe. In August, the armed forces of the army became more and more courageous, after obtaining the Japanese army for the construction of border fortifications workers and a large number of miners, the team immediately expanded, and then crossed the Mudanjiang River and Songhua River, launched an external battle, and successively captured Luobei, Hegang, Aihui, Bei'an, Hailun, Suihua and other cities to the west, and occupied Shulan, Huadian and other cities to the south, coercing the puppet Manchurian capital Changchun, causing a great shock to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Japanese army base camp, and had to take the initiative to convey a message of peace to us through the Pingdong and Tianjin puppet government officials and the German government. Gain a precious opportunity for a ceasefire and return to the division to stabilize the rear. ”

Everyone, including Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, was dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that so many things had happened in the northeast region, where the news was tight. The Japanese army deliberately got the news, and there was nothing to be gained from listening to the Manchurian radio and the domestic broadcast, it sounds like a piece of peace, who can imagine that so many things have happened in the black land of the Northeast? And the truth about the withdrawal of the Japanese army turned out to be like this.

Chiang Kai-shek muttered: "I knew it would be like this, I knew it would be like this!" ”

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek was relieved, with Wang Jingwei's embroidered pillow cream Xiaosheng, where could he get the news of the withdrawal of *** people? If it hadn't been for *** person taking the initiative and trying to inform him, he would not have been able to learn the truth before my intelligence agency got the news! I've been nervous for so long, and that's the truth!

Zhao Rui did not know the complex psychological activities of Chiang Kai-shek, and continued to report: "According to the latest information of the intelligence officer I infiltrated, taking advantage of the retreating Japanese army to gather troops and attack the Sanjiang Plain with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, last night the Suihua Righteous Army infiltrated the north bank of the Songhua River in Harbin, blew up the railway and highway bridges, and cut off the communication between the main urban area of Harbin and the urban area of Jiangbei. It is expected that in the next period of time, a series of dazzling offensive and defensive battles will be staged on the land of the northern part of the Northeast, and the intensity of the tension will be no less than that of the great war in North China. ”

"May I ask General Zhao, is it possible for a small guerrilla army to achieve such great achievements in such a short period of time? Looking at the whole event you stated, I found myself listening to fairy tales! ”

He Yingqin stood up questioningly: "With the combat strength of the Japanese army, with a strong city defense, how many troops do you need to break through the fortified cities, and then march forward at such a fast speed?" Not to mention how much time it takes to take the Sanjiang Plain and consolidate its rule with a guerrilla army, that is, in terms of crossing the river, how much time will it take to conquer the frontier fortresses that have been operated by the Japanese army for many years, such as Luobei and Aihui, which have been prepared for many years? There is also Suihua City, as far as I know, since the occupation of the northeast, the Japanese army has deliberately strengthened this city at the gateway of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, not to mention that the city walls have all been reinforced with reinforced concrete, and the thickness of the wall edge of the city defense fortress built of steel and concrete is only three or four meters, and there is a strong artillery assistance from artillery units in the city. ”

The conference room was buzzing, and the sound of discussion was endless, and many of the generals who were originally excited were shaken at this time.

Zhao Rui smiled faintly: "General Jingzhi is well-read and strong, and he even knows such a secret thing about the Kwantung Army, Zhao Rui admires it!" ”

Seeing He Yingqin's face turn into the color of pig liver, Zhao Ruizheng said: "If it is an ordinary guerrilla force with no foundation, there is naturally no way, for example, the Anti-Japanese Federation has been active in the Northeast for many years, although there are many nuisances to the Kwantung Army, but in fact the results achieved are not great, especially after the Kwantung Army began to implement the 'group tribe' plan in Jilin Province and Liaoning Province, it is even more difficult. But is this local armed force an ordinary armed force?

"According to my fourth department's in-depth investigation of the Sanjiang Plain, it can be determined that the armed forces of this department are in fact directly under the control of the Soviet Far East Red Army, and the rifles, machine guns, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, automobiles, tanks, and armored trains used by it are all Soviet standard weapons. After this guerrilla force took Suihua, when dealing with the reinforcements of more than 30,000 people from the two *** brigades and a full-fledged puppet army division sent by the Kwantung Army, it used such tactics to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop! ”

After everyone digested their information, Zhao Rui said: "Our intelligence officers risked their lives, disguised themselves as *** people, and asked the guerrillas about the attack on Suihua City, and the guerrillas first took more than an hour of artillery fire to cover, and the large and small artillery with a caliber of less than 200 mm shelled Suihua for an hour, and the Suihua artillery disappeared after that wave of shelling. Then, the guerrillas used train guns to aim and shell the fortifications one by one, and finally caused the strong Suihua city defense to collapse, and then the guerrillas with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles broke into the city, and completely annihilated the Japanese army in Suihua in the middle of the night. Just imagine, with such a terrifying ability to attack fortifications, who said that it was just a guerrilla army?

"In my opinion, I should have sent out the Chinese troops within the Far Eastern Red Army to carry out a targeted battle plan, you can imagine what the result would be if the regular Soviet Red Army fought against the Japanese army, and it should not simply be regarded as a battle between the guerrillas and the *** Kwantung Army!"

With that, Zhao Rui threw down the baton and returned to his seat.

There was a fierce discussion in the conference room again, and hearing such a detailed report from Zhao Rui, no one questioned the authenticity of Zhao Rui's story, He Yingqin was dumbfounded, and he kept his head and didn't speak. Due to the strong rise of An Jiajun, he, the chief of staff, has less and less prestige, but in front of the local warlords with absolute strength, under the threat of An Yi and Bai Chongxi, the second person in the army who seems to be in a high position on the surface, is trying his best to maintain it by relying on his qualifications, so he has no way to deal with Zhao Rui's cynicism.

Other participants, including Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling, were shocked and relieved. The situation in the Northeast has changed so drastically, as long as it is a normal person and a normal government, it will choose to calm the trouble of the armpit and elbow first, and then put the muzzle of the gun out.

Xu Zuyi stood up at the right time, nodded to Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, and smiled and greeted the bigwigs in the army, and then said unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty, Madam, Generals, the Second Department of our General Staff Headquarters is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and investigation in the military and foreign military areas. Since discovering the abnormal movements of the Japanese army in North China, our military attachés stationed in various countries have deliberately stepped up the collation and collection of intelligence in this regard. After unremitting efforts, one thing has been clear: the Red Army generals in the Soviet Far East were indeed at loggerheads with Moscow, and the Red Army generals in the Far East, unwilling to give in to the purge that Moscow was underway, not only expelled the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Cheka, but also freed millions of prisoners imprisoned in the Gugra concentration camp and interrupted the railway from Moscow to the Far East. At present, the two sides are amassing millions of troops to confront each other on the coast of Lake Baikal, and a large-scale war may break out at any time.

"According to the investigation of our fourth department, the feedback from Director Zhao Rui is true and credible, the armed forces of this foreign army in the Northeast are simply under the command of the Red Army in the Far East, and its purpose is very simple, that is, to avoid the dilemma of fighting on two fronts after the war in Moscow, and use this armed force to contain the strength of the Kwantung Army and avoid worries, which can also explain why in a short period of time, a force that no one paid attention to in advance quickly swelled to Si.

"Combined with the intelligence of the Fourth Department of the Base Camp and the Second Office of our General Staff Headquarters, you might as well imagine how this series of jaw-dropping achievements could be achieved without the large-scale military and personnel assistance of the Red Army in the Far East, without the superiority of troops and weapons. However, as the war in the Northeast is getting bigger and bigger, it is estimated that the situation has been out of the control of the Red Army in the Far East, and no one knows what achievements this rebel army will achieve in the end, but in terms of the current situation, the Japanese army is contained in the Northeast, which is quite beneficial to our country. In addition, according to the information fed back by our intelligence personnel from the Soviet Union, the military leader of the Far Eastern Red Army, Marshal Blyukher, was actually General Gallen, the chief adviser of our Whampoa Military Academy, and most of its main military leaders also had the experience of teaching at our Whampoa Military Academy. ”

"Huh!? General Gallon? ”

Chiang Kai-shek was surprised and delighted, and Huo Ran stood up: "Is it really General Gallen?" The past of the Northern Expedition is still vivid, and Zhongzheng has always admired General Gallen's outstanding military command talent, but he did not expect that he would be a marshal of the Soviet Union. Yan Mou, can we find a way to connect with the Far East? Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhongzheng misses General Gallen and the instructors of Whampoa very much. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was a very humane person, very nostalgic, for the defeated opponents, he rarely rushed to kill, such as the original enemy - the head of the direct warlord Wu Peifu, he successively through Yang Sen, Zhang Xueliang and Song Zheyuan, paid a huge pension every month; Tang Shengzhi, who rebelled against him many times, now serves as the Judge Advocate General's of the whole army; Zhang Fakui, who once forced him to go into the field during the confrontation between Ning and Han, is now entrusted with the important task of commander of the Eighth Army; Feng Yuxiang, the opponent of the Central Plains War, is currently serving as the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the commander of the Third Theater; Chen Mingshu, the main military leader of the Min Mutiny, re-entered the Military Council; And Chen Jitang, the protagonist of the Liangguang Incident, has now not only restored his seat as a member of the Central Committee, but also served as the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry of the National Government.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek's nostalgia for his former colleagues in Whampoa is by no means vain.

He Yingqin saw the enthusiasm in the eyes of the generals, obviously full of illusions about cooperation with the Far East, and couldn't help but stand up again: "Bench, generals, please calm down!" At this critical juncture when Soviet aid from warplanes, tanks, firearms, ammunition and other munitions and materials has arrived, we must not act rashly. Moreover, the Soviet pilots who came to aid China were already on their way to Nanjing, what would Moscow think if they knew that our national government was in contact with its hostile forces? At this time, what we need is to remain calm, to exercise restraint, and to wait for changes in the international situation. ”

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek's mind cleared, he immediately came to his senses.

Although the Soviet Union's aid was pledged by China's tungsten, tin, antimony, tung oil, pig bristles, tea and other materials, and needed to be repaid, it was always good for China to have a little more reserves of strategic materials at present. Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek still has a secret in his heart that is not known to outsiders, although the Jiangnan Group has given enough taxes in the transactions in Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, but strategic materials such as tungsten and antimony are controlled in the hands of a private consortium, specifically in the hands of An Yi, which Chiang Kai-shek, as the head of state, cannot bear. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, it was a very good deal to be able to use the contract to openly poach the interests that should have belonged to the Jiangnan clique, which not only expanded the strength of the central government, but also effectively suppressed the unscrupulous expansion of the Jiangnan clique.

Therefore, after slowly sitting down, Chiang Kai-shek thanked He Yingqin, raised his hands and waved, and said apologetically: "It was the negligence of Zhongzheng, and now that the international situation is changing, we really must not act rashly, we need to wait and see what happens...... Yu Nong, what do you have to gain there? ”

Dai Li, sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the conference room, remained silent, treating himself like a rock, unnoticed. After hearing Chiang Kai-shek's question, he stood up:

"Commission, generals, the Investigation Department has received an urgent report from Tokyo, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, has taken the initiative to assume responsibility for the unfavorable situation in the Northeast War, and Emperor Hirohito has issued an edict ordering General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese North China Front, to supervise the affairs of the Kwantung Army."

The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, piercing people's eardrums at once.

Who is Ueda Kenkichi, this guy not only participated in the 918 Incident as the commander of the 9th Division, but also participated in the first Battle of Songhu as the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army after the 128 Incident.

This sixty-two-year-old Japanese general, who can say that his hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese, and now he ended up in such a way, no one can imagine.

Chen Cheng was full of vigilance about He Yingqin's activity, and when he saw that the other party jumped out to speak many times, he was not far behind, and said loudly: "Ueda Kenkichi's death proves that the war that broke out in the Northeast is far beyond our imagination, and now we should think about it carefully, is it taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, our army is taking advantage of the situation to go north and recover the homeland?" Or take the opportunity to negotiate peace with the government and the army to seek temporary peace? ”

He Yingqin rolled his eyes: "Are the three divisions and regiments of the Japanese army in Pudong, Shanghai now, just decoration?" What if our army rashly goes north, and the Japanese army suddenly makes a breakthrough from Songhu and kills Nanjing? When the capital is in danger at that time, who will bear this huge responsibility? ”

There was silence in the conference room, and the stakes were so high that no one dared to take the initiative to talk.

Chiang Kai-shek was also resolute in his heart, and looked at Bai Chongxi, who was contemplating his eyebrows: "Jiansheng, what do you think?" ”

Bai Chongxi said slowly: "As far as my heart is concerned, I naturally hope that the whole army will go north, go straight to Huanglong, recover the homeland, and do the best to resist Japan!" But as General Jing Zhi said, if the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation to launch an attack from Songhu, and our army is empty, what should we do then? ”

Chiang Kai-shek's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the generals in the conference room, and Tang Shengzhi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and said with a smile: "Now there is an army in Songhu to stand there, and the widest part of the entire Yangtze River Delta is only 150 kilometers, so there are no troops at all." Rather than letting the vast majority of the troops stay in Songhu and stare, it is better to draw half of the troops to the north, and slowly advance to Pingjin under the condition of ensuring the supply of food, grass and ammunition.

"If our army arrives in North China and the Japanese army is still stuck in the quagmire in the northeast and cannot extricate itself, then our army will attack the whole line with a thunderous force, and drive the Japanese army out of Pingjin in one fell swoop until they are driven out of the pass. If the Japanese army is still unable to send heavy troops to reinforce the southern line at this time, then we will continue to move forward by relying on the railway and highway network and fully guaranteeing logistics. As long as we are not greedy for merit, do not rush forward, and work steadily, there will be no problems. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, we can calmly shrink our forces back. What do you think, ma'am? ”

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, and he praised sincerely: "This plan is wonderful!" ”

At present, the Gui Army, the Guangdong Army, the Guizhou Army, and the Sichuan Army are constantly marching towards Nanjing, originally to meet the Songhu battlefield at any time and ensure the absolute security of the capital Nanjing.

But now suddenly the Japanese army is no longer good, there is a fire in the backyard, so many troops are placed there, and the consumption of military salaries, food and materials will be increased, but if this part of the troops is used rationally and take the initiative to attack the north, it can not only show the people of the whole country their determination to resolutely resist Japan and never compromise, but also take the opportunity to consume the strength of local warlords and consolidate the dominant position of the central army, and also force the government to break the illusion, honestly sit down at the negotiating table, and take the initiative in diplomacy.

It is especially rare to say that it may not be possible to take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army to recover the homeland and enjoy the reputation of Yue Wumu.

So why not do it?

Thinking of this, a smile bloomed on Chiang Kai-shek's face: "General Meng Xiao's words are the words of the old man to seek the country, and I am very relieved." Resignation, respect, your military and political departments and general staff departments should immediately negotiate and come up with a concrete plan for the transfer of troops, and strive to implement it at an early date. ”

Chen Cheng and He Jingzhi glanced at each other, stood up together, and gave a military salute: "Yes!" ”
