Section 9 Turning Point I
Zhuang Jihua went back and told Song Meiling the consensus he reached with He Yingqin, Song Meiling was a little relieved, but she was still worried that He Yingqin was secretly playing tricks, but then He Jinhan "forced the palace" and asked to establish a "blue army" to find He Yingqin's reprimand, Zhuang Jihua and Song Meiling were very excited, and then they believed that He Yingqin's attitude had changed. \\。 Qb(5).cOM\\[Chinese. _com]
"Teacher He understands now, he can't replace the principal, He Jinhan is lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot." Zhuang Jihua said lightly to Song Meiling: "However, Master, what Teacher He said is still reasonable to war, if you want to solve the Xi'an Incident, you can only use both soft and hard, the master and mother will persuade in the city, and the army will be forced outside the city, only in this way can the principal be rescued at the minimum cost." ”
Song Meiling breathed a sigh of relief, she finally saw a glimmer of light for Chiang Kai-shek to come back. Then Zhang Jingjiang came with good news, Dai Jitao Juzheng's attitude softened, and he no longer insisted on using force to quell the rebellion. Song Meiling immediately invited Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi to discuss, and decided to provide He Yingqin with 100,000 legal currency for counterinsurgency.
The situation in Nanjing soon spread to Xi'an, causing a great shock in the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, and some officers of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army discussed one after another, accusing Zhang Xueliang of bringing them into danger; Yu Xuezhong called from Lanzhou that the Gansu garrison was showing signs of instability, and the two regiments stationed in Gannan had mutinied. Zhang Xueliang was so anxious when he heard the report that he had no choice but to ask Zeng Guangqing to come out and make a public broadcast, telling him that Chiang Kai-shek was still alive in Nanjing, and calling on the Nanjing side to act cautiously and not to provoke a civil war.
On the 18th, Song Xilian's troops were stationed in the suburbs of Nanjing, and He Jinhan was overjoyed to visit him, but he did not expect Song Xilian to clearly tell him that he supported the strategy of peacefully resolving the Xi'an Incident, and He Jinhan returned disappointed.
However, He Jinhan did not give up, he continued to put pressure on He Yingqin, and on the 18th, 800 officers in Nanjing petitioned the Ministry of Military Affairs. It was required to form a rebel army and go to the Weishui front. The Nanjing Scouts continued to hold demonstrations and demanded that the rebellion in Xi'an be put down as soon as possible and that Zhang Yang be brought to justice. He Jinhan is in charge of the press censorship. All lords and speeches were banned, and the newspapers were filled with hoarse voices of the main war.
On the 17th, when Xi'an was covered with wind and snow, Jiang Jianren commanded the Luoyang Air Force to launch a wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Weinan and Huaxian, and the next day the air force bombed the scope of the Huashan and Pinghan railways.
The swarthy muzzle of the gun was pointed at the opposite bank, and the muzzle of the gun shimmered a faint blue light in the snow. On the 18th, the teaching corps arrived in Chishui, and tens of thousands of brave men were under the command of Gui Yongqing. Lined up on the banks of the Chishui River, ready to force the crossing at any time, and go straight down to Xi'an.
The war promoted by the Blue Coat Society seemed to be getting closer and closer, Nanjing and Xi'an both held their breath, as if nothing could be changed, and there was only one day left in the four-day deadline given by He Yingqin. But at this time, a plane landed in Luoyang, and Chiang Dingwen, who was captured in the incident, flew back to Luoyang from Xi'an, bringing Chiang Kai-shek's personal letters and orders. In the letter, Chiang Kai-shek ordered "never to start a conflict and stop bombing Xi'an." ”
The news brought by Jiang Dingwen played a key role in the change of attitude of the Central Committee members of the joint conference, and Song Meiling found that the respect of the Central Committee members for her returned. In the joint meeting of the day, the members of the department were the leaders. Most of the elders of the Department of Political Science and the former Xishan Conference faction expressed their attitude and supported Soong Meiling's peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident.
At the meeting, Soong Ziwen proposed to enter Xi'an in a private capacity, and after debate, he won the support of the majority of the committee members, but he was also restricted from holding specific negotiations with Zhang Yang, and could only visit Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Yang's attitude.
It turned out that the two banners of the main battle, He Yingqin and Dai Jitao, remained silent. Silent. The banner of the main battle was carried by the Blue Coat Society and Wang Jingwei, but the momentum was not as good as before. At this point, the Blue Coat Society showed his weakness. The forces at the top are too weak.
After the joint meeting, He Jinhan, Deng Wenyi and others returned to Chaotian Palace for a meeting. Everyone at the meeting was a little discouraged, seeing the appearance of everyone, He Jinhan decided to cheer them up, he stood up and wanted to say a few words, but Deng Wenyi stood up in front of him and said to everyone: "Everyone, the principal's warrant we should abide by, but it depends on the conditions, this warrant must have been written under Zhang Yang's persecution, and the principal left an obvious hint, you see only the final payment, Rong Zhi, the principal has never been paid like this, then this must contain deep meaning, I think this is the meaning of letting us continue to crusade." ”
Chiang Kai-shek's warrant was circulated in the hands of everyone, and the payment attracted everyone's attention, indeed, Chiang Kai-shek had never used such a payment, and everyone began to talk about it.
"What do you mean, Headmaster?"
"Rong Zhi, Rong means army, force; Happiness means smooth, blessed, does this mean that we hope that our military operations will go well? ”
"Yes, that's right, that's what it means!"
When people have opinions or disagreements, they think that they are the most correct and others are wrong, and the angle and direction of thinking about problems are single, either right or wrong, which is the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad; When you find that your behavior is wrong, the first thing you think of is not to correct it, but to cover it up. Now the people of the Blue Coat Society have grasped this straw, and Rong Zhi has been forcibly interpreted as a smooth military operation.
He Jinhan immediately sublimated Deng Wenyi's discovery: "... The headmaster will never agree to stop the crusade, comrades, think about what the headmaster taught us, if the country lives and dies, will the headmaster give in to Zhang Yang? Absolutely not! This is the principal's secret instruction to us in the warrant brought back by Jiang Dingwen by taking advantage of Zhang Yang's eagerness for peace talks. …”
He immediately ordered the continuation of the military operation, and ordered Gui Yongqing to immediately launch an attack and rush to the city of Xi'an within five days. The Blue Coat Society organizations in various localities continued to vigorously publicize it, causing widespread calls for crusade and exerting pressure on the central government.
"He Jingzhi wants to retire now," He Jinhan felt deeply humiliated when he thought of the events of the world before yesterday, and he couldn't help but scold: "The affairs of the new army must not be settled like this, all the unemployed students, we will first allocate part of the funds from the club to resettle, and when the number comes, they will be our grassroots officers." ”
But what disappointed He Jinhan was that He Yingqin's attitude was as always, and he resolutely refused to let go. And the development of the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, Song Ziwen flew to Xi'an, although the government claimed that the trip was purely private, but in the eyes of the discerning people was completely different.
At night, an emergency meeting was held at Chaotian Palace, at which three decisions were made: first, Gui Yongqing was ordered to immediately launch an attack to reach the city of Xi'an in the shortest possible time; Second, they immediately instigated larger-scale intentional demonstrations in Nanjing, Wuhan, Shanghai and other places, and those in Nanjing had to submit petitions to Dingjiaqiao; Third, we should intensify propaganda efforts and make the basic tone that peace talks are betrayal and traitors to the party-state.
On the front line of the Wei River, the north wind rolled up snowflakes from the river surface, and the bare land was white again, and the two armies faced each other across the river on both sides of the cold Weishui.
"On the opposite side are the two divisions of the Northeast Army, Liu Duoquan and Miao Zhengliu." Chief of Staff Fu Zhao introduced to Gui Yongqing: "They are deployed along the river, and their troops are scattered, and they can't block our blow. ”
Fu Zhao's confidence is justified, the equipment and training of the teaching corps are second to none in the whole ** team, and only those eighteen tanks are rare in the country, with heavy artillery battalions, cavalry regiments, and anti-aircraft artillery battalions; The subordinate unit has been carefully trained by German advisers for several years, and it is a model force in the whole country, which is not at all able to withstand the weak Northeast Army.
"Let's cross the river from Qi'er," Gui Yongqing poked at the point on the map with his cane, his tone was cold, he, from yesterday to today, he received two telegrams in a row, both of which asked him to attack immediately, both asking him to fight fiercely, but the difference was that after he entered Weinan, he would temporarily stop the attack and wait for orders; The other letter asked him to march forward with his troops, go straight to the city of Xi'an, and annihilate Zhang Yang in one fell swoop.
This difference made Gui Yongqing feel that there must have been changes in Nanjing, and it also made him very embarrassed, and he was inclined to the Blue Coat Society in his heart; But emotionally, it made it difficult for him to disobey He Yingqin's orders. But no matter what, it's definitely right to hit Weinan, so let's hit Weinan and talk about it.
"Order, fire!"
With Gui Yongqing's fierce order, the shells accurately landed on the positions of the Northeast Army on the opposite bank, raising puffs of smoke. Amid the sound of artillery, the first ships full of soldiers began to sail to the opposite shore.
Hundreds of boats spread across the river, and Zhou Zhenqiang, the commander of the first wave of attacking regiments, invested most of his troops, and the machine guns on the bow of the ships spewed fierce flames, and the bullets whizzed and passed by with the sound of the wind, while the soldiers just lowered their heads and paddled as if they hadn't seen or heard.
Before the boat docked, the impatient soldiers jumped into the icy river and launched an attack on the position of the Northeast Army. Yellow uniforms quickly covered the beachhead, and the blue sky and white Japanese flags guided the soldiers forward quickly in the smoke of gunpowder
After crossing the river, Gui Yongqing rode his fiery red war horse bought from Germany, and the half-day battle told him that the Northeast Army was completely vulnerable, so dangerous, it only cost less than ten casualties to break through.
"Order Zhou Zhenqiang and Hu Qiru to attack side by side, and order the cavalry regiment to make a detour to attack their rear. The engineer battalion was ordered to speed up the process and erect the pontoon bridge. ”
Gui Yongqing's order was quickly executed, and the two regiments of Zhou Zhenqiang and Hu Qiru advanced side by side, and the Northeast Army was so defeated that they could not catch up. If you want to say lucky, it is still the cavalry regiment that detours, after all, the four-legged ones are faster than the two-legged ones, and they intercept some of the defeated soldiers, and these soldiers simply resist the will, and see that they can't run, so they kneel on the side of the road and surrender.
"It's too fast," Gui Yongqing felt a little uneasy after only two hours, he was worried that this was a trick to lure the enemy, the two regiments were seriously out of touch with the general team, and their forward was already twenty miles away: "Order them to stop the attack and wait for the follow-up troops." ”
Gui Yongqing was not afraid of the formation of a new defensive line by the Northeast Army, and the Battle of Weihe told him that the opponent's morale was extremely low, the will to fight was extremely low, and more importantly, he believed that with the firepower in his hands, he could destroy any defensive line of the Northeast Army.
