Chapter 194: The Pain of the Individual and the Pain of the Country (I)
Yao Le also felt tremendous pressure on Zhang Xuewu's plan to prepare for the armed rescue of Chiang Kai-shek, and the previous special operations focused on the accurate surname of intelligence, effective support and support, and precise planning and implementation.
Carrying out an armed assault in the heavily guarded Xi'an, for Yao Le, this is an unsuccessful operation! The discussion of the plan of action in which all 28 commandos of the two combat detachments under the Blade participated in the discussion of infiltrating the city of Xi'an in disguise, assaulting Chairman Chiang's Xishan villa, and then quickly moving to the airport, and at the same time carrying out airborne operations at the airport, controlling the airfield and allowing the light plane to take over the chairman of the committee immediately take off.
Route, personnel, firepower, the most important thing is the timeliness of the relevant intelligence, once there is a firefight, the criteria for the firefight, etc., to the end, Zhang Xuewu asked Yao Le very seriously: "Tell me, how sure can you be?" If it's less than five points sure, don't say it! ”
Yao Le thought cautiously for a while and said: "Our army is now facing a serious lack of intelligence, Xi'an City is now under strict precautions, our army's plainclothes scouts tried to sneak in several times and there were firefights, it can be seen that its vigilance is tight, especially near the West Mountain, it is five steps, one post, two steps and one sentry, I am afraid it is difficult to sneak in, and what is the security situation in the Xishan villa?" Whether it is only the general guard is still a problem, it is better to do the opposite, assault Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng respectively, and capture the thief and capture the king first! Arrest him and force him to release Chairman Chiang? Is this possible? ”
Zhang Xuewu naturally also knew the lack of intelligence, and Chiang Kai-shek was not always under house arrest in the same place of residence, as said in history, but five or six places were changed at any time, and Zhang Xueliang's general guard team was guarded by him, and its internal strength may not be less than one battalion, and the troops on the outer periphery were at least more than one regiment. If these special forces with unique skills fight in street battles and bad battles, they may not necessarily be much stronger than Zhang Xueliang's general guards? One for ten, Zhang Xuewu had to shout that he was losing money to the extreme.
The army is definitely not able to press the border, and the method of special operations cannot be effectively used, Zhang Xuewu felt a little dizzy, can he only wait for Zhang Xueliang to wake up? This seems too unreliable, after all, the Double 12 Incident launched by Zhang and Yang is just for their own power, to put it bluntly, it is just their own selfish interests, after all, Chiang Kai-shek is in charge of the military and political power of the entire Republic of China, and the Liangguang Incident is already a very bad start, but how many people can let go and give up the power in their hands, especially the military power? After all, people are still selfish, there are big and small truths, and small truths are not reasonable in the face of big truths.
Just when Zhang Xuewu did not hesitate, Chiang Kai-shek's personal envoy suddenly appeared in Yuncheng with a commissioned edict, this secret envoy Zhang Xuewu is still a little familiar, this person is Huang Wenxing of the attendant room, Fenghua people from Huangpu were born, it can be said that the root of the red Miaozheng, last year Zhang Xuewu also expressed his meaning.
But at this moment, when Huang Wenxing appeared, he scared Zhang Xuewu a lot, the old brother who used to be polite and polite was dressed as a refugee and asked for food? There was a sour smell all over his body, no wonder he was blocked out of the headquarters, if it wasn't for him shouting Zhang Xuewu's words and the names of Wang Chuang and others, and claiming that he had a secret order from the chairman, the guards really didn't intend to report it for him.
As soon as Huang Wenxing saw Zhang Xuewu, he immediately cried and shouted: "Brother Xuewu, do you have any food?" Let's have a few bowls to satisfy your hunger! ”
Huang Wenxing first devoured it, and then took out a white handkerchief from under the mezzanine of his clothes, with a few lines of small characters neatly written on it, and the red seal of Zhongzheng Seal at the bottom! Zhang Xuewu doesn't remember that Chiang Kai-shek had any secret orders or edicts during the Double Twelve Incident in history?
Huang Wenxing himself is from Fenghua, and he was born in Huangpu to serve in the chamberlain, so he shouldn't be able to deceive himself, and Huang Wenxing is not deceiving himself, but joking with his own head.
Huang Wenxing grabbed Zhang Xuewu's hand and said excitedly: "Brother, I am nine deaths!" This was handed over to me by my wife, and the principal called you the Optimus Jade Pillar of the Party-State! Learn martial brother! The safety of the chairman of the committee is now pinned on you, and I will convey to you that Han Qing is only temporarily deceived by the people who destroy the small, and I hope that the interests of the party-state, the great cause, the country and the nation will be the most important, and the public must not be abolished for personal reasons! When the country is in danger, we must be cautious and cautious! ”
Zhang Xuewu nodded and asked people to arrange for Huang Wenxing to rest, Chiang Kai-shek's so-called handwritten edict was written on a handkerchief, but the text only had a few words of advice, indicating that he would not blame Zhang Hanqing for the past, and the Northeast Military Headquarters could also be transferred back to the Pingjin and Rehe fronts.
The most important thing is that Chiang Kai-shek also revealed a message that it can also be resolved by force, but it must be completely certain, and no matter what method is adopted, it is necessary to end the Double 12 Incident as soon as possible and eliminate the influence at home and abroad, lest he will take the opportunity to cause chaos if he does not make a decision for a long time.
Zhang Xuewu was able to feel a sense of urgency from this secret order, because Hu Zhenglong was now reporting to Yuncheng almost every day on the situation in Chaoyang, Chifeng, and other places. It seems that there is a feeling that you will not give up until you achieve your goal?
The unusual behavior of the Kwantung Army made Zhang Xuewu a little nervous, and if calculated according to the term of office of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Minamijiro should normally carry out the handover with the next commander-in-chief at the end of 1936, and at the latest in February 1937.
However, there is no news coming out of this aspect at the moment? Out of consideration for his own habit and strategic deployment, Zhang Xuewu felt that there were only two possibilities, the first was that Nanjiro wanted to fight before he left office, and the second was that because of the relationship between strategic and tactical arrangements, the strategic decision-making body felt that it was not easy to change generals, so Nanjiro should command the implementation of this campaign, no matter what the situation, Zhang Xuewu felt that the clouds of war were getting closer and closer.
Chiang Kai-shek's edict is actually equivalent to asking Zhang Xuewu to deliver a message to Zhang Xueliang, and the other point is probably more to stabilize Zhang Xuewu, if Zhang Xuewu really joins the ranks of the rebellion from a thief, then I am afraid that the situation of secession is inevitable, once this situation is formed, Song Ziwen's connection between the previous and the next will become a magic weapon for some people to use, and then he Jiang is afraid that someone will have to die.
Zhang Xuewu was indeed a little embarrassed to send a telegram to Zhang Xueliang before, although he openly opposed Zhang and Yang's moves, but he was not as radical as Yan Xishan, and he was a telegram and a statement to confess himself, Zhang Xuewu is now getting enough capital, because only when the capital reaches a certain level, no one will want to move him, the absolute strength of the central army, otherwise only the industries he bought in Baotou and the more than 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, as well as 400,000 young and middle-aged reservists who have undergone basic training, It is enough for some red-eyed people to list the charges and make him Zhang Xuewu die dozens of times.
At the same time that Zhang Xueliang, who was like a needle and needle, received Zhang Xuewu's telegram, more than 30 planes of the air force units of the Central Army attacked and strafed the Northeast Army troops along the Tongguan line. Zhang Xueliang was shocked at the moment, seeing that the previous Northwest Union had collapsed, and even the trinity of the last self-protection measures was difficult to implement, the Soviet Union's stern condemnation, Yan Xishan's repeated and Zhang Xuewu's fierce opposition, made Zhang Xueliang feel that he seemed to have become a loner overnight.
Zhang Xueliang sat alone in the study, how to solve the Double 12 incident? His mind is blank at the moment, Zhang Xuewu's telegram is very long, my brother Han Qingjunjian: As a soldier, my brother only knows about state affairs and does not talk about personal affairs, forgive me! Whether it is the policy of the country to resist or not, the leader may rise and fall with his own political axe and public opinion, and put himself in the land of the only man and the people? At this moment, the Kwantung Army has gathered 42 divisions and regiments, with a total of more than 750,000 special forces and ground aviation flying units, and he has also hoarded nearly 40 divisions and regiments on the mainland. It can be shipped to Shanghai, Qingdao and other places at any time, and the navy of this empire has one of the largest fleets in the world, and my long coastline is full of fish and meat, and the strategic layout of our army will be divided and cut off by the army. The younger brother's troops are responsible for guarding the front of the Rehe River, and now they are actually putting the cart before the horse, and the brother Yizhi resolutely gave up his position for the benefit of the country and the nation, why is this the case now? Should the selfish interests of the individual be compared with the interests of the nation? How dare the pain of the individual be better than the pain of the nation and the nation? Brother should be the precipice! Your personal suffering may be comparable to that of 30 million people in the three northeastern provinces? It is said that the Kwantung Army of this empire has hoarded 750,000 heavy troops in the three northeastern provinces, and what kind of misery are my compatriots and villagers living in? How can we be in the same room? If Chiang is killed, will anyone have his prestige and unify the military and political power? Wave the Northern Expedition to recover the country? Consider it again! Be cautious! Don't give me an opportunity, don't forget the hatred of you and me for killing my father, and the hatred of seizing the land!
