When Zhang Xuewu got the comprehensive report of Xu Guohui and Zhanyang, it was already the afternoon of the next day, it can be said that Xu Guohui and Zhanyang's military operation surprise attack was arranged very safely, but the aftermath work such as the effective blockade of the news was not flattering, and it can even be said that Zhang Xuewu knew the general situation a few hours later than Yan Xishan. So Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who had just arrived in Nanjing, rushed back to Beiping by plane with an investigation team.

He Yingqin once imagined many solutions to the Suiyuan problem, generally Yan Xishan rarely has the habit of spitting out what he eats in his mouth, one is young and vigorous, the other is old and calculating, whether Zhang Xuewu can grind Yan Xishan is still unknown, you must know that even Zhang Xueliang has to give Yan Laoxi, the veteran boss of the alliance, three thin noodles, as a result, Zhang Xuewu came up and directly ate one of the other party's army, Yan Xishan once suffered such a big loss?

Yang Aiyuan is also regarded as an outstanding person among the generals of the Jin Army, and his training is very unique, this time he let Zhang Xuewu clean up the three divisions in one night, is Yang Aiyuan's department too weak or Zhang Xuewu's team is too strong? Or neither? He Yingqin was a little uneasy on the plane, after all, Zhang Xuewu's basket was too big this time, even Chiang Kai-shek didn't dare to clean up a corps of the Jin army for no reason.

After a furious Yan Xishan, he finally calmed down, Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion has just been supported, with 100,000 guns, but the proportion of its veterans is very amazing, it can be said that the troops have a certain combat effectiveness, but they want to challenge the Jin Army with a mere Rehe Legion? When Kou Shang invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces, he risked triggering a large-scale civil war and sent troops to solve his own 34th Army?

Yan Xishan suddenly realized that Zhang Xuewu was not Zhang Xueliang, one was a daredevil's butcher who lacked heart, the other was an indecisive young master, and the most important thing was that Zhang Xueliang was a person who played cards according to the rules, but Zhang Xuewu was not.

Yan Xishan has regretted it a little now, because Suiyuan is very important to Shanxi, but it is even more important to the Rehe Army in front of the entire Kwantung Army, will Zhang Xuewu hand over his lifeline to the Jin army he does not trust? I'm afraid that Nanjing's political axe will also have some hints, otherwise Zhang Xuewu would dare to be so groundless? Big fight?

After hesitating again and again, Yan Xishan found that he was really helpless, because he couldn't ignore it like Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu was stunned and reckless about the consequences, but he Yan was not, he was the master who had experienced strong winds and waves, so this slap was pumped over, he had to fight back immediately, but the way could not be forced, he wanted to use the power of public opinion to suppress Zhang Xuewu, and make a gesture to Nanjing, so that those teachers who were worried about themselves knew that Yan was not a bean bag that anyone who wanted to pinch it. Let him spit out what he eats in his mouth, Suiyuan is still Lao Tzu!

How to do it, Yan Xishan still has to plan well with his staff, Zhang Xuewu is not a good guy to deal with, dare to swallow a whole army of himself without saying a word, this courage is probably second to none in the whole of China, but there is one thing Yan Xishan has in his heart, that is, don't look at how arrogant Zhang Xuewu is, under the current enemy, no one can afford to provoke a civil war.

The news of Suiyuan's central army fighting the Jin army was deliberately exaggerated many times by himself, and he was good at reversing black and white to add branches and leaves, and he sadly found that they had completely exaggerated the essence of the incident to the point that it could not be restored, so that the analysis of the operational staff of the Kwantung Army was also outrageous, and there was even a plan that the political axe in Nanjing, China, would disintegrate again?

In the face of these absurd and basically baseless intelligence interpretations, the Kwantung Army trust commander Ryokari Takashi was a little depressed, and the fiasco of Rehe made the previous commander Muto Nobuyoshi die violently in the study, but for the sake of face, the Kwantung Army immediately sent a plane to toss Muto Nobuyoshi's body back to the book, first the news of the critical illness, and a month later claimed that the rescue was ineffective, and the poor Muto Nobuyoshi was almost unrecognizable and stinky.

After the death of Nobuyoshi Muto, the former chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Kuniaki Koiso, was also dismissed from his post with joint responsibility, and after the death of Nobuyoshi Muto, Minamijiro of the Imperial Council nominated Imperial Army General Takashi Hishikari to take over the post of commander of the Kwantung Army, and this nomination was approved by Emperor Hirohito.

It is very coincidental that this is the second time that Ryokara has served as the commander of the Kwantung Army, and both times he was able to take over after his predecessor died violently during his tenure, and once again he was stained with a dead man, and the first thing Ryokarataka did when he took office was to wantonly replenish the troops and weapons and equipment for the Kwantung Army.

The battle of the Middle East Road in which the Soviet army fought the Northeast Army was like child's play, so the army believed that the army was far stronger than the Soviet army in terms of individual tactics and fighting will, and it should be easier to deal with the [***] team, but after the Battle of Rehe, domestic public opinion began to sing the decline of the army under the secret impetus of some forces, as if the navy was outstanding.

In Ryokaraka's opinion, he said that he was so strange, before the Battle of Rehe, the hot-blooded young Zhuang faction shouted all day long that the people of China should be occupied, and so on, but after the defeat, it was a pessimistic disappointment and decadence of Yishui, as if the empire was already in danger, and the entire Yamato nation relied on the combined fleet to save its life?

Ryokarataka is actually not an authentic China expert, but his strategic vision is indeed very unique among the senior generals of the army, and Ryokarataka greatly admires the maverick minority factions such as Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro, so he has always studied the Chinese issue, and he is said to be called "the leader of the army" before he can take over as the commander of the Kwantung Army again.

Regarding this conflict between the [***] teams of Suiyuan Middle School, Ling Kari Long thinks that there is no need to make a fuss at all, China is so big, there are many military factions, and a little conflict does not explain anything at all, and Yan Xishan of Shanxi has the experience of studying in the empire, and he can be described as an old and cunning man, and he will be disappointed if he is expected to do something too radical and impulsive.

As there was a knock on the door, Ryokara raised his head and smiled slightly, "Please sit down, two of you!" Today, Mr. Puyi, the ruling man of Manchukuo, brought me a little good tea, let's taste it together! ”

Okamura Ninji, acting chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and Seishiro Itagaki, the newly arrived deputy chief of staff, hurriedly stood on their legs and bowed in thanks.

After the three of them took their seats, Takashi Ryokari said with a smile: "This official has won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor this time, and once again assumed the position of commander of the Kwantung Army, it can be said that I am sincerely afraid!" In the Battle of Rehe, my loyal and brave imperial generals have exhausted all their strength, and the reason why the defeat cannot all be attributed to strategic command and tactical coordination, this official personally thinks that I say that the Kwantung Army of this empire is a direct subordinate force of His Majesty the Emperor, and our weapons and equipment are still at the level after the First World War, so that the [***] team equipped with German weapons can effectively hold Chengde and kill a large number of the living forces of our army, which is very terrible! ”

Okamura Ninji said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry Your Excellency Commander, the lower officer is actually shameless here at the moment, and the defeated lower officer of Rehe is also responsible for being the commander of the former enemy, and now His Excellency Muto Nobuyoshi has died of illness, and Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki has been punished and retired, but I continue to be trusted and reused as a general of the defeated army, and I feel deeply remorseful." ”

Ryokari shook his head and said, "Don't blame yourself too much, what does it mean that we think that our powerful firepower cannot destroy the will to resist in [***]?" It shows that our firepower is still not strong enough, the military expenditure of the empire is almost occupied by these shameless people in the navy as many as seven floors, we are still using the old-fashioned Type 38 artillery, the machine guns of the Taisho year, and the projection firepower of our army wings, brigades, and divisions must be improved, otherwise we will not be able to cope with the next war. ”

Ryokari Takashi paused slightly and said: "There is specific intelligence that China's political axe is actively carrying out military cooperation with the German side, not only the two sides signed the "Five-Year Military Industry Development Plan", Germany began to help China establish a military industry, and provided military equipment to China before the construction of the Chinese [***] industry, and in terms of assisting China in the reorganization and construction of the army, submitted the "Army Reform Proposal", and proposed to use limited material and financial resources to first establish a well-equipped and well-trained small core demonstration armament, The German advisory group believed that China's elite standing army of 60 divisions would be enough to cope with all kinds of situations, including a counterattack on Manchuria! Think about it! The German armament units such as the new First Division in Chengde, and the headquarters of the Fifth Army of the Central [***] Army that we encountered in the Battle of Shanghai were all German armament units that had not yet completed the reorganization! ”

Okamura Ninji and Itagaki Seishiro looked at each other in surprise, if the Chinese political axe really completed the establishment of sixty German armament reorganized divisions, then the Kwantung Army in Manchuria would not consider attacking but defending, although the navy of the Great Empire dominated Asia, but it did not mean that its army was the same, after the Battle of Rehe, many militants in the military gradually calmed down, and the role of the navy fighting in Manchuria could only play a role in containing the coastal line at most, and could not play the role of deciding the surnameThe team completed the reorganization plan, so the sixty German armament reorganization divisions were almost a catastrophe for the Kwantung Army.
