Chapter 19: The Bloody War (7)
(Today's second watch, there will be a watch in the evening, everyone has votes to vote for it!) Thanks, little rider! )
Hearing that the previous army that had openly disobeyed orders still occupied the Beida camp and had a fierce exchange of fire with Yue himself, Chiang Kai-shek's brows involuntarily furrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before concentrating: "Han Qing! This will not work, it will cause serious problems, and if we return fire, it will be tantamount to giving Yu an excuse to expand the incident, and you must do everything possible to withdraw this force from me, or you can declare them rebels, and use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. ”
Chiang Kai-shek's words made Zhang Xue's conscience chuckle in his heart, just the issuance of a "non-resistance" order had already discredited the generals at all levels of the Shenyang Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office, and declared the soldiers who remained in the Beida camp to defend the land to the death as rebels? How will you face the heroic spirits who died defending the country? How to face the monstrous criticism of public opinion? Zhang Xueliang sometimes really couldn't understand what was going on in his brother's head? How does Zhang Hanqing want him to carry such a big black cauldron?
Chiang Kai-shek listened to Zhang Xueliang's refusal to say anything, and knew that he had to add to the fire, and he absolutely could not be distracted at the critical juncture of suppressing the communists.
Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a moment and continued: "Han Qing! The situation in China is very special, the warlords have been divided for many years, and the slogan of our Northern Expedition was to bring down the warlords, and as a result, the small warlords annexed each other and became big warlords. Make every effort to rejuvenate China is not a sentence you shout! I shouted! Everyone's shouting slogans, but actions! The country has been weak for a long time, you and I are in a high position, and many times even if we are unwilling, we have to endure humiliation for the country. ”
As soon as Zhang Xueliang heard that Chiang Kai-shek had already said this, he was not at a good position to say anything, so he had to respond: "Please rest assured Chairman Chiang, the military and civilians in my northeast should be consistent with the central political axe." ”
After Chiang Kai-shek appeased Zhang Xueliang for a few words, he repeatedly instructed him to "deal with it accordingly"!
After Zhang Xueliang put down the phone, he stood in front of the map and looked at Shenyang silently, Chiang Kai-shek's sentence of "corresponding treatment" made it difficult for him to grasp the essentials, as soon as he thought of Zhang Xuewu who openly disobeyed his orders, Zhang Xueliang was suddenly angry, Zhang Xuecheng was bold enough, he didn't kill him because he was afraid of family affection, when the old man was there, he valued family affection the most, he didn't want others to say that he didn't recognize his six relatives!
Zhang Xueliang looked at the chaotic telegrams on the table, basically Rong Zhen, Wang Yizhe, Huang Xiansheng and others told Zhang Xuewu, as well as the reports sent by Adjutant Tan on the Shuaifu, Bianye, Bank of China, and the arsenals of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Xueliang was a little confused, what did Zhang Xuewu want to do?
However, there is one thing that Zhang Xueliang is very pleased with, that is, Zhang Xuewu's ability is extraordinary! Under the nose of the Northeast Frontier Army Commander's Office, brigade commander Wang Yizhe, regiment commander Wang Tiehan, and other military commanders at all levels were present, they actually instigated a battalion of troops to take control of the commander's office in the capacity of chief of staff of a district and regiment, cut off all external contacts, and then arranged for two regiments to rush to transport supplies under his nose, and then led his troops to the Beida Battalion to block the enemy's attack.
However, what Zhang Xueliang was most annoyed about was that Zhang Xuewu's relocation of the arsenal in the three eastern provinces was simply an unprecedented destruction, in other words, he just blew up the Beidaying, and Zhang Xuewu almost destroyed most of Shenyang City.
Zhang Xueliang already had a headache about how to deal with this unit that violated military orders, and now the eyes of the whole country are focused on this largest conflict between the two armies in Beidaying in recent years, and to explain the reasons for non-resistance in the face of the common people and public opinion throughout the country?
Zhang Xueliang knew that there were a large number of people in the national political axe who were ready to see his liveliness, and he was even ready to be thrown into the well, and Zhang Xueliang, who was very tired, sat weakly in the south study and rubbed his swollen temples with his hands! For Zhang Xueliang, the only way to do this is to send people to Shenyang as soon as possible to withdraw Zhang Xuewu's troops, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to end the battle.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was standing in front of the window and meditating, received a dossier related to the incident sorted out by the secret service headquarters of the Fuxing Society, Zhang Xuewu, the name that made Chiang Kai-shek hate so much that he came to Chiang Kai-shek's sight, for Zhang Xueliang has such an extraordinary ability and rebellious brother, Chiang Kai-shek used his thinking logic that is different from ordinary people for a moment, and said to Huang Feiwen, deputy director of the secretariat who sent the dossier: "Tell Guofu and Lifu, let them send people down to use more thoughts, I want to know everything about this Zhang Xuewu. ”
At this moment, Zhang Xuewu, who was looking at the last rays of the sunset, finally made a difficult decision, that is, to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, before that, Zhang Xuewu had been looking forward to Zhang Xueliang being able to make decisions and judgments that were different from the known history, and when the night fell on the northeast again, all his hopes seemed to be in vain.
If the Northeast Army can rise up and fight, then what can the Kwantung Army, which has only more than 10,000 people, do? Can only be crushed to the point of occupying important towns along the Manchurian Railway? It's just wishful thinking on my part.
Zhang Xuewu also thought that the lone army would stick to the Beida camp until the last shot, swear to resist the invasion of the Yue army, set an example for the whole country with blood, and awaken the national sense of resistance, but now it seems that this sacrifice is almost meaningless, the vast majority of Chinese people in this era are illiterate and semi-literate, and patriotism is a very distant thing for the Chinese people who have experienced feudalism, semi-feudalism and semi-colony.
This is a numbness that is difficult to awaken by the blood of one person, several people, and even tens of thousands of people, and in the face of the heavy wheel of history, Zhang Xuewu felt personal insignificance and powerlessness for the first time.
In order to transfer the supplies of Shenyang, he did not hesitate to lead his troops to fight to the death with the invading Yue army in Beidaying, but the death battle of Beidaying did not make the fanatical and dizzy Yue himself retreat, but made the Kwantung Army desperate, but the Beiping and Nanjing sides still hoped for the intervention and mediation of the League of Nations in history.
The contact with the outside world of the Beida Battalion was cut off by the army, and three groups of yellow signal flares rose in the direction of the arsenal of the three eastern provinces, which was the signal of the general retreat.
"Retreat!" Zhang Xuewu faced Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang, and Li Mingtang, who were covered in blood, and said his decision with difficulty, Xu Guohui looked at Zhang Xuewu's resolute face and sighed helplessly: "Is the chief of staff really hopeless?" ”
Zhang Xuewu looked at Xu Guohui and the others in surprise, shook his head and said, "There will be no reinforcements!" In fact, Zhang Xuewu thought that he was hiding it well, but in fact, the stupidest person was him, Xu Guohui, Wang Chuang, Li Mingtang and others had already guessed his intentions!
Zhang Xuewu smiled bitterly and said, "Since you all knew the consequences at the time, why did you still get involved?" ”
Xu Guohui smiled, looked at Wang Chuang and said: "Manly man, you are seeking wealth and danger!" If the enemy comes and runs away without letting go of a fart, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself! ”
"It's such a fucking defeat! Lao Tzu is unwilling! Xu Guohui smashed his fist into the soil of the trench, and a piece of shrapnel cut his hand, and he didn't realize that the blood was flowing.
