Chapter 1193 Generous Gifts

At 10 o'clock in the morning, more than 20 Japanese planes flew and circled for a long time over the Suidong area and the Suimeng border area, but no matter how hard they tried, they found nothing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe Japanese intelligence department also couldn't figure out why the squadron that attacked its Xilin Gol League's Baylor Province suddenly disappeared in the area where its own troops were stationed on the left and right.

Annoyed and angry, the Japanese plane, which was unwilling to return empty-handed, finally aimed at the frontline position of Fu Zuoyi's department and dropped dozens of bombs before leaving. Fortunately, the embankment had already been reached until the retaliation of the Japanese, and the front-line officers and men all entered the bomb shelters, so no one was killed or injured in the bombing of enemy planes this time.

Fu Zuoyi, who smiled from ear to ear at the result, joked to Hu Jialin: It seems that the Japanese have counted this foolish account on my head.

This time, the "Blue Fox Brigade" of the Anjia Army resolutely launched a beheading operation in the Xilin Gol League, and achieved excellent results in killing more than 40 enemies, killing and wounding more than 200 enemies, and capturing seven enemy chiefs. Among the prisoners were Yin Baoshan, deputy commander of the traitor "Great Han Righteous Army," Song Zhicai, chief of staff, Ge Rili, commander of the cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian government army, and Mu Kedebao, commander of the infantry division.

After a brief discussion, Fu Zuoyi and Hu Jialin quickly reported the news of the large-scale invasion and bombing of Suiyuan by Japanese fighters to the central government, and at the same time sent a telegram to the whole country, accusing the Japanese army of atrocities and calling on the whole people to unite and resist.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was about to leave Nanjing and return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, was forced to stay for the time being, and urgently convened a meeting of the Military Commission to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, as early as the Japanese planes bombed the Suidong line, Chiang Kai-shek had once again submitted to the Kuomintang Central Committee and the government to take the blame and resign, and the Central Standing Committee once again retained Chiang Kai-shek's request to resign, but approved Chiang Kai-shek's leave for a month to calm his mind, and no one expected that the situation in Suiyuan would become tense again at this time.

......

In the Baoding camp, An Yi, who knew that the mission had been successfully completed a few hours ago, was very excited after receiving the news that the "Blue Fox Brigade" had successfully arrived in Syria, and discussed with the generals around him: Should this action be reported to Chiang Kai-shek immediately?

Before the opinions could be unified, a telegram from Dai Li, the spy leader who had stood on the right side of the contingent and won the favor of Chiang Kai-shek, suddenly arrived, asking why the four attack planes and five transport planes of the Southwest Air Force had suddenly landed at Taiyuan Airport. Why do you fill up your tank and then leave silently without any explanation?

After listening to Liu Qing's reading of the message, the generals knew that it was the Taiyuan Station of the Secret Service that told Dai Li in time. Even the 17th Army had the right to know only four people, including army commander Hu Jialin, deputy army commander Zhang Chengzhu, director of the Political Department Huang Yingwu, and chief of staff Huang Zhi. From this point of view, the sense of smell of the secret service agents led by Dai Li is much more sensitive than that of Yan Xishan and his Jin Suijun.

Even if An Yi did not answer Dai Li, the loyal Dai Li would tell Chiang Kai-shek of his doubts, and instead of explaining to Chiang Kai-shek at that time, it was better to take the initiative to report it as soon as possible, not to mention that this in itself was a great achievement, and it was not an unsightly thing -- the Xilin Gol area was originally the territory that the squadron would recover next, and there was no such thing as "invading the puppet Manchukuo" in any military operation carried out by the squadron on its own land That kind of diplomatic trouble.

......

At noon, the meeting of the Central Military Commission was still in full swing, and when Chen Bui, who had been called out by his attendants and staff officers, re-entered the venue, his hurried steps and the red light on his face surprised the generals very much.

Chen Bui walked straight to Chiang Kai-shek's side and gently put the secret telegram sent by An Yi on the table in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek saw that Chen Bui's hands were trembling a little, and turned his head in a little surprise.

Chen Bui showed a rare bright smile, pointed to the message, and said in a low voice: "Commission, after reading the secret telegram sent by General An urgently, you will understand everything!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek turned his head suspiciously, picked up the telegram under the nervous gaze of more than ten generals, and hurriedly read it, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes lit up, read it again, and then stood up excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that there is no need for us to continue to discuss the Suiyuan issue, under the joint command of General An Yi, General Fu Zuoyi, and General Hu Jialin, our front-line garrison launched a secret military operation codenamed 'Decapitation Operation', Fu Zuoyi's Department and Hu Jialin's Department feinted to cooperate on the Suidong front line and North China, and the Southwest Air Force Command was responsible for the specific implementation, using the method of airborne behind enemy lines, to dispatch a 29-member special service detachment of the Ouyang Jian Air Service Regiment of the Southwest Air Force at 4:30 a.m. today, He smashed the Beile Mansion of the Xilin Gol League of the Puppet Mongolian and Han Traitor Armed Temporary Headquarters, successfully attacked the enemy's headquarters, and achieved an excellent record of destroying and wounding more than 300 enemies and capturing seven enemy chieftains.

"What is even more surprising is that there were no casualties in the operational detachment, and the seven enemy chieftains captured were all traitor armed leaders who were strictly wanted by our central government, and our heroic soldiers all arrived safely in Syria in southern Sichuan at this moment, and the captured enemy chieftains have been sent to the special prison of Syria in the fourth hall of the General Staff Headquarters for interrogation......

The hall was full of exclamations, and Tang Shengzhi, who was stunned, was the first to react, stood up and applauded vigorously, and the warm applause immediately rang out.

Feng Yuxiang took the secret telegram handed by Chiang Kai-shek, read it in a hurry, and stood up with great sigh:

"No wonder the Japanese planes will go to Suidong to retaliate, it turns out that the eleven military instructors of the Japanese secret service were all killed by our action detachment...... It's amazing, it's amazing! Chairman of the Committee, I propose that the officers and men who participated in this operation be awarded medals and commendations, and that the morale of the whole army be boosted. Just after the Xi'an Incident, the civil strife is not only panicked, but a military victory against the Japanese puppet army is needed to inspire the army and the people!

"This victory came at a very timely time, and it was a great victory that shook the whole army, such an unbelievable surprise battle, enough to show an astonishing combat effectiveness, a strong confidence to move forward, and its military and strategic significance is even greater, even if the Japanese puppet thief chieftain is in the rear, and in the strict protection, his old nest is also in our threat at any time and place, and he is afraid of losing his old life. With the deterrence of this military operation, at least for a few months, the extremely chaotic puppet Mongolian army and the traitor army could not be organized, and the Suiyuan front line was thus given a valuable opportunity to replenish and prepare for war. ”

Everyone echoed, and Chiang Kai-shek said happily: "Brother Huanzhang is reasonable, since this is the case, let's discuss the reward method, and we must count last year's Bailing Temple victory together, and we will reward it heavily!" After the agreement, a grand award ceremony will be held, and all of us will attend and inform the whole army of the whole country, just as Brother Huanzhang said, at present, our military heart and people's heart need to be stimulated! Don't those ** leaders who can only talk about their mouths always accuse the central government and me, Jiang someone, of not actively resisting Japan? This time it's just time for them to see! ”

......

The meeting ended successfully, Chiang Kai-shek returned to the garden in high spirits, and Song Meiling, who came up, was very surprised to see Chiang Kai-shek's radiant appearance, and helped Chiang Kai-shek hang up his coat and military hat after entering the house, and walked to the dining table hand in hand.

"Darling, what makes you so happy?" Song Meiling asked curiously.

Chiang Kai-shek took his beloved wife's hand and sat down slowly: "An Yi, that guy didn't dare to stay in Nanjing to see me, but he sent me a generous gift before leaving." ”

"What gift can make you so happy? Is it hairy lychee again? Song Meiling handed over the steaming glass of water and asked casually.

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, remembering the excitement when he was imprisoned and his life and death were uncertain and he suddenly received Mao Lychee, and his heart was warm and full of mixed feelings:

"The gift that An Yi gave today, for me personally, is not as good as the small basket of lychees in Xi'an, but for the entire army and even the central government, it is a generous gift that others can't give......"

Chiang Kai-shek immediately told the story of An Yi's mobilization of more than 10 fighters of the Southwest Air Force to assist and the dispatch of special forces of the Air Force to attack the headquarters of the puppet Mongolian army in the Suimeng area, and finally lamented that this battle can be called a classic example from a military point of view, and from a political point of view, it is undoubtedly the best encouragement for the current fragmented central government and the various armies of the country that are fluctuating in the hearts of the people, and its positive significance has won the general consensus of the members of the Central Military Commission, and even He Yingqin, An Yi's sworn enemy, is impressed.

"Oh my God! How did Xiao Yi do it......"

Song Meiling exclaimed in shock, after the Xi'an incident, Song Meiling was already as close to An Yi as a nephew, and she trusted and maintained it incomparably.

Song Meiling was lonely and helpless in the difficult situation of betraying her relatives, An Yi stepped forward, not only sent her two wives and a sister to Song Meiling to accompany and appease, but also did not hesitate to tear her face with the He Yingqin faction and the Lixingshe faction, and did not hesitate to bear the charge of violating military law and even taking the opportunity to commit rebellion and coveting the highest power, with bold and fearless rapid action and a strong army, Song Meiling recovered the decline, and then went to Nanjing to discuss countermeasures day and night with Song Meiling, Song Ziwen, and Kong Xiangxi. Sincerely united with the central senators and centrists, established her prestige and regained the initiative for Soong Meiling, and made the greatest contribution to the eventual smooth resolution of the huge crisis brought about by the Xi'an Incident.

As the saying goes: The road knows the horsepower, and the adversity sees the truth! Song Meiling, who has experienced great sorrow and joy, because she can't have children, has regarded An Yi as her own son, An Yi's wisdom and courage and the demeanor of a general who plans to move after making a decision have made Song Meiling admired, and since then she has placed great trust in An Yi.

Chiang Kai-shek patted his beloved wife's hand: "Actually, I was also surprised, although I learned about the content of special forces and special operations from An Yi's relevant reports a few years ago, and I also saw its important role and status from the many combat examples summarized by An Yi, and it is very suitable for the current construction goals of our army, but I didn't expect him to do so well and make such great achievements with limited troops."

"An Yi didn't report the specific combat situation, I believe it is very exciting, and when he comes to Fenghua to see me, I will ask him again. Alas, he had never told me before that an airborne special forces unit had been set up in the Southwest Air Force that was better than the special forces of the Anjia Army, and I only saw a little bit of fame from the name of the air service regiment directly under the Southwest Air Force Command. ”

Song Meiling thought for a while and asked: "I seem to remember that the team of thirty people secretly sent by the German ** team to communicate with each other has always been at An Yi's Syrian Mansion Headquarters and trained with the special forces?" Mr. Fugenhausen, the head of the advisory group, went to visit quietly almost once a month, and I heard that every time he came back, he expressed his satisfaction, and said that our army can consider the construction of paratrooper troops, could it be this unit sent by Xiao Yi? ”

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly realized and nodded frequently: "Yes, it is very likely...... If you don't mention it, I'm negligent, it seems that I also have to take some time to see this unit, as well as the armored assault division that has been secretly training in southern Yunnan, the four young people who came back from studying abroad in the German armored forces school last year were all there, before I left Nanjing to go to Xi'an, Xu Yuexiang also asked me to see the training of that unit, I remember that I asked him to contact An Yi himself, and now it seems that the equipment and combat effectiveness of several main divisions under An Yi are likely to far exceed my expectations, and I have to go and see it with my own eyes. ”

"Report to the principal, Yu Nong asks to see you!"

Jiang Xiaozhen came to Chiang Kai-shek's side and reported in a low voice.

In the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek's guards sacrificed greatly. The day before the incident, Jiang Xiaoxian, the head of the attendant group who was responsible for Chiang Kai-shek's safety, commanded the 2nd Military Police Regiment to closely monitor the students and mass ranks of the anti-Japanese demonstrations, resulting in an extremely limited number of troops stationed at Huaqingchi. On the night of the incident, the first section of the military police regiment and the chairman's guard left behind in Huaqingchi were surrounded and annihilated by the Northeast Army, and Jiang Xiaoxian himself was unfortunately killed. Chiang Kai-shek lost his nephew, but gained another confidant. Also in that terrible night, Chiang Kai-shek, who was shocked by the sound of gunfire, realized the danger, got up and ran out before putting on shoes, and the personal guard Jiang Xiaozhen guarded the side, seeing Chiang Kai-shek barefoot, he immediately took off his shoes and put them on for Chiang Kai-shek, on the way to escape, there were thorns everywhere, Jiang Xiaozhen's feet **, stepping on the thorns on the ground, carrying Chiang Kai-shek and running a long distance, when the two were captured, Jiang Xiaozhen's feet were already bloody, Chiang Kai-shek was very grateful to Jiang Xiaozhen at that time, If Jiang Xiaozhen hadn't walked barefoot, he would have either been shot indiscriminately and killed, or his feet would have been as bloody as Jiang Xiaozhen.

After returning to Nanjing safely, Chiang Xiaozhen was admitted to the best central hospital in Nanjing under Chiang Kai-shek's personal arrangement, and returned with a foot injury.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, and looked at his nephew Jiang Xiaozhen lovingly: "Yunong probably also received news from An Yi, let him come in, you come along, let's have lunch together." ”

"Yes."
