Let Zhong G be in charge of the anti-Japanese war in the thirty-four counties north of the Yellow River, but will the Japanese go there? Most of them won't go. Isn't this a situation where the Red Army does not let go of a single shot, and watches the friendly army annihilated, and resists the Kuomintang army? After the war, we will have to get the territory of 34 counties for nothing, and when the time comes, how will the people of the whole country and the northern factions fancy G? What do you think of the Red Army? The territory is very good, but the business of smashing the signboard for the sake of only 34 counties can't be done

Seeing through the other party's conspiracy, Zhou Elai slowly shook his head and said lightly: "Brother Fuwen's kindness, our Red Army understands it, but we also know the truth that it is useless." ”

Luo Yaoguo stretched out his thumb, gestured, and said with a smile: "Your party is really a high wind and bright festival, Luo admires it." Or...... In this way, the Red Army entered Jinan and Feng Huanzhang jointly defended the city. We will be responsible for the field war with the Japanese. After the war, how about the 34 counties north of the Yellow River in Shandong Province as a reward for your party? Isn't that a wasted effort? The people of the whole country and the factions in the north should also be convinced. ”

Zhou Elai took a deep breath, and suddenly realized that he had been around for a long time. If the 30,000 Red Army really drove into the city of Jinan to fight head-on with the Japanese, would they be completely annihilated by others? If this Red Army is gone, will the territory of the 34 counties still be obtained? Alas...... This Luo Yaoguo is really difficult

"You don't want to destroy our Red Army by the hands of the Japanese, do you?" Xuanxia's father said in a cold tone, and said what Zhou E wanted to say but was inconvenient to say.

Luo Yaoguo smiled and shook his head: "If all of you and the Red Army enter Jinan City...... Maybe I'll think about it again. But this time it's only 30,000 people, do you think our Kuomintang brand is worth the lives of 30,000 Red Army? ”

"Hmph" Xuanxia's father almost jumped up when he heard this. That's a full 30,000 Red Army soldiers, in Luo Yaoguo's eyes, it can't even stand up to the signboard of the Kuomintang, which has long been notorious, what other signboard is there?

"Sword Soul." Zhou Elai hurriedly made a look to stop Xuanxia's father, who was about to have a seizure, and then turned his head and smiled at Luo Yaoguo: "If you want our Red Army to enter Jinan, you can do it, but we want the weapons and equipment of three integrated divisions, and they include heavy artillery."

Luo Yaoguo smiled coldly and spread his hands: "We didn't ask you to enter Jinan, but we just asked you to be responsible for the anti-Japanese war in the thirty-four counties north of the Yellow River, and after the war, these thirty-four counties are your party's territory." You must enter Jinan to help Feng Huanzhang defend the city. So I can't give you three integrated divisions weapons and equipment. ”

"You" Zhou Elai slapped the table and said angrily: "You are unreasonable, we originally wanted to fight behind enemy lines based on Yimeng Mountain, but you didn't agree with us to enter, so we changed to Jinan City to fight positional warfare."

"Alas......" Luo Yaoguo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, I will send an urgent telegram to the Military Commission to urge the equipment of that division, and let them send you to Jinan City within three days anyway." As for the heavy artillery...... There are still none, but we can replace the heavy artillery with the Min Thirteen Mountain Cannon. Actually, I am arranging this way for your sake. Those 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers are complex to operate and difficult to move. If you don't go through a long period of rigorous training, you won't be able to use it at all. On the contrary, those guns of the Thirteen Mountains have the title of 'extremely easy to operate guns', and they are light and flexible, which can transfer positions in time to avoid Japanese artillery counterattacks. ”

Zhou Elai exchanged glances with Xuanxia's father, and said, "Then how will the thirty-four counties of Hebei be handed over?" After the war, how should General Feng Huanzhang and General Zhang Xiaokun be arranged? ”

"In the thirty-four counties, the president issued a presidential decree to set up a special district and appoint the leader of your party as the head of the special district. Seeing that the other party was relieved, Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly: "As for Feng Huanzhang's territory, I think I will give him the Beijing City jointly managed by various factions, right?" But you can't tell him about this now......"

……

Jinan, Wanzhuyuan. This private garden in Jinan City is one of the best in the city, and now it has become the headquarters of Feng Yuxiang's Anti-Japanese Allied Army. In Wanzhu Hall, a meeting of senior generals of the Allied Army is underway.

The full table of generals of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army sat solemnly, and everyone looked at a huge military map of Shandong Province with a grim expression. And Feng Yuxiang and Duan Qirui sat side by side on the top seat, facing the important people, with a faint anger on their faces, which made the generals below tremble slightly.

Outside the window is the west garden of Wanzhu Garden. The sun was shining, the green shade was swaying, and the sunlight was pouring in, and when it came to this Wanzhu Hall, it became cold and damp in this gloomy atmosphere.

On the military map, red, blue, and black pencils have been used to outline the situation of the enemy, our side, and the "friend" in the current battle of Shandong. The enemy naturally refers to the Japanese army, Qingdao is currently under Japanese control, and Japan has the right to garrison troops along the Jiaoji Railway. However, at present, the Japanese army has all shrunk into the Qingdao fortress, waiting for reinforcements from the mainland. According to the information provided by the Kuomintang, the 2nd, 5th, and 6th divisions were all the most elite units of the Imperial Japanese Army

Our army refers to the anti-Japanese allied army, which has arrived in Jinan is Zhang Zongchang's "Zhilu Allied Army" of about 25,000 people, and has now driven to Weixian to set up defenses to block the westward advance of the Japanese army. In addition, there are five divisions of Duan Qirui's Anhui system, among which Zang Zhiping's ninth division and Wang Yongquan's twelfth division are to be used for the deployment of defense in Luxi and Lunan areas to resist that "friend", that is, the Kuomintang Army's Eastern Army and the north

It's heartbreaking to say...... The Chinese have not forgotten the internal fighting, and the Kuomintang has now drawn a large number of security forces from Anhui and Jiangsu provinces and assembled them in two ways, Xuzhou and Kaifeng. Obviously, this kind of second-line troops with no heavy weapons were not used against the Japanese army, but to be used to establish rule in Shandong, and Duan Qirui, who had already understood the conspiracy of the Kuomintang, had to transfer two more divisions from the already overstretched force to guard against the Kuomintang. Of course...... This arrangement was more of a gesture and a bargaining chip with the Kuomintang. Similar situations have also occurred in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in another time and space, namely Shanxi and Chahar in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

What was even more frustrating was the speed of the movement of the main forces of Feng Yuxiang's anti-Japanese allied army. At present, the "Xinhai Railway" has just been built to Tongguan, and the transportation capacity is also limited, Feng Yuxiang's army of more than 100,000 troops and a large number of supplies and weapons and equipment can only be crowded in Tongguan and shipped in batches. It is simply impossible to get it all in place without ten days. According to the intelligence of the Kuomintang, the Japanese army could reach Qingdao in two days at most...... In another five or six days, it may hit the city of Jinan

Feng Yuxiang and Duan Qirui didn't say a word, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more depressing, and everyone had a feeling that something was wrong. Until the end, it was Lu Yongxiang who slapped the table: "Alas, I can't take care of so much now, hurry up and transfer Zang Zhiping and Wang Yongquan back to Jinan from outside to set up defenses, and then go to court with President Sun Da after this battle...... Don't believe that there will be no reason in the world? ”

"Zijia" Duan Qirui hurriedly glanced at Lu Yongxiang: "Should we let the Kuomintang come in, General Huanzhang has his own opinions, we are all people who are about to retire"

Feng Yuxiang clenched his fists and sat on the top of his chair, his face full of anger. He has been officially informed by the Military Council of the National Government that the plan to replenish the arms and ammunition of the National Coalition forces has been cancelled. In other words, his army of more than 100,000 could only rely on the ammunition accumulated in his hands to fight, and the ammunition of the Kuomintang Alliance Army had not been replenished since the first battle with Wu Peifu last year

And he was bent on saving the country and the people, but he was never understood, and even Sun Yat-sen has always been very cold to him. So far, he is the commander-in-chief of an army of more than 100,000 people, and he is not even a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, which is really chilling to the extreme. It seems that China's future really can't be counted on these people, maybe Yan'an is the real hope, right?

Thinking of Zhong G, Feng Yuxiang's face softened slightly, and Zhou Elai of Zhong G had already assured him by telegram that 30,000 well-equipped Red Army troops would arrive within five days. Armed with 134 artillery pieces of various kinds, these Red Army troops are currently the best equipped and most powerful troops in the Red Army, and after arriving in Jinan, such elites will obey the command of him, the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese allied forces

Feng Yuxiang looked coldly at the generals who were full of seats, and said loudly: "Our anti-Japanese alliance is a real anti-Japanese force, not for territory, fighting for personal interests, but for the country, fighting for the nation, the Kuomintang is not willing to help us, it doesn't matter, isn't there still GCD, we have to let the whole country, let the world see, who is the real hope of China, who is the real anti-Japanese force, I believe that after this war, there will be a fundamental change in the hearts and public opinion of the whole country."

Duan Qirui said in a low voice, "Then should we let them in?" ”

Feng Yuxiang shook his head lightly: "Don't let them come for the time being, we still have GCD to rely on." ”

Duan Qirui smiled bitterly: "GCD is reliable? ”

Feng Yuxiang nodded affirmatively: "They sent an army of 30,000, equipped no less than the Japanese, and they will arrive in Jinan within five days." ”

Hearing that 30,000 Red Army troops with no less equipment than the Japanese army were coming, the room full of people unconsciously sighed softly. The big guys have been thinking about this damn war in their hearts more than once these days...... There is no extravagant hope for a complete defeat of Japan, and the only hope is an undefeated draw. Specifically, it means that if Jinan can be held without the participation of the Kuomintang army, as long as Jinan can be held, the Japanese will definitely give in. There is no doubt about this, if these Japanese can't even defeat China without the participation of the National ** Army, then what confidence do they have to fight with the National ** Army? When the time comes, it will be a big deal to apologize, ask the powers to come out and mediate, and you can give the matter a little compensation. It's just such a draw to hold Jinan, and there seems to be little hope for the broken army in his own hands. Fortunately, the Red Army, which is now known as China's second strongest army, has finally come to the rescue, and it seems that there is still a lot of hope.

"It's really ...... that GCD can come up with such an elite," Duan Qirui muttered to himself.

"Since this is the case, then Zang Zhiping and Wang Yongquan will not move for the time being. But we still have to hurry up and deploy Jinan's city defense, there is not much time left" Lu Yongxiang is a native of Jining County, a suburb of Jinan, and has been a Shandong overseer for several years, and he is very familiar with the mountains and rivers around Jinan, he smiled and said:

"Fortunately, our Jinan City is still in danger. The city of Jinan is bordered by the Yellow River in the north and Mount Tai in the south. There are also Queshan, Huashan, Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Huilongling, Qianfoshan, Ma'anshan, Lashan, Yaoshan and other highlands around Jinan, and only the terrain in the west is relatively wide. In the urban area of Jinan, there are three major areas: the outer city, the commercial port and the inner city. The outer and inner cities have tall walls to rely on, while the commercial port has strong buildings such as railway stations and German telegraph buildings. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yongxiang stood up and walked to the table next to him, found a military map of Jinan, and spread it out on the conference table: "If we want to defend Jinan, the best plan is to take the inner city as the core defensive position; outtowns and commercial ports as the basic positions; The mountains on the outskirts of the city and the Yellow River were used as peripheral defensive positions. The outer defensive positions took Qihe, Changqing, Zhangxia, Wangsherenzhuang and other places as the warning positions, and built the main positions along the lines of Queshan, Huashan, Maoling Mountain, Yanchi Mountain, Huilongling, Qianfoshan, Ma'anshan, Lashan, and Yaoshan. The basic defensive position, with the commercial port as the first line position, and the outer city as the second line position. The inner city is the last core defensive position. ”

Feng Yuxiang listened to Lu Yongxiang's deployment plan, and secretly admired it in his heart. Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, this Lu Yongxiang is an old-timer from the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, and his military foundation is still excellent. This plan for the defense of Jinan is decent, relying on the outer highlands, the outer city commercial port, and finally the inner city. Resist step by step, fortifying layer by layer, in order to maximize the consumption of the enemy's army. It seems that this plan can be adopted with a slight modification, the only question is to hurry up and build the fortifications...... It would be nice if Zhang Zongchang could delay there for a few days.

"General Zijia, how many Ding Zhuang can be mobilized in Jinan City right now? How many days will it take to complete the entire fortification? Feng Yuxiang looked at Lu Yongxiang with a smile.

"There are 600,000 residents in Jinan City, and it is not a problem to mobilize 50,000 Ding Zhuang, in addition to about 36,000 people from the fourth, seventh, and eighth divisions in the city, plus the superintendent guards, there are nearly 40,000 people in total." Lu Yongxiang snapped his fingers and calculated: "...... 40,000 plus 50,000 is 90,000 people, the Japanese can only arrive in Qingdao in two days, get off the ship and rest for two days, and then advance to Weixian It will take two days, Zhang Xiaokun can hold at least two days, right? That's eight days, and it will take almost two days from Weixian to Jinan...... In other words, we have at least ten days to build the fortifications. And by then, the main force of General Huanzhang will also be able to gather, right? We have 190,000 defenders of the city, and we should be able to ensure that we are safe. ”

……

Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, the official residence of the Prime Minister of Japan.

War Minister Kazunari Ugaki and Chief of the General Staff Soroku Suzuki arrived at the Prime Minister's office early in the morning and plunged headlong into Prime Minister Hamaguchi's office. For a whole morning, three old Japanese men were crammed into a not too spacious office, each holding a briefing entitled "Analysis of the Situation of the Shandong Incident in China" and studying it carefully over and over again.

The room was silent, except for the sparse sound of paper shaking.

At the end, Hamaguchi shook his hand and threw the briefing on the desk, covering his face with a pair of hands full of old age spots, and sighed deeply: "How did the matter of Shina come to this...... An anti-Japanese allied army was also created, with more than 200,000 troops, and all factions in northern China sent troops to participate...... So it seems that our three divisions are not enough? It's a real headache......"

“…… Is it going to expand the scale of the incident again? Now that the domestic economy is in recession, the financial industry is in crisis again...... What is it going to do to sustain the war? His Majesty the Emperor and public opinion thought that Shina was vulnerable and blindly wanted victory. I don't look at the state of the domestic economy, it's really ......"

Hear the tired tone of the lion prime minister (Hamaguchi's nickname). Ugaki Kazunari and Suzuki Zhuang Liu also looked at each other, they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine did China GCD, Feng, Anhui, and Feng Yuxiang, who had been nesting in Shaanxi, take the wrong medicine now? Unexpectedly, an anti-Japanese alliance was set up in a joint venture, and the anti-Japanese alliance wanted to come to this pool, and this war obviously had nothing to do with them.

Originally, he just wanted to fight the Kuomintang in Shandong, to avenge the "bond speculation" in Shanghai, and by the way, let the Kuomintang compensate for the losses. But accidentally, he came up with a "China Whole Nation Anti-Japanese".

So is this battle still fought? If we want to fight, I am afraid that it is imperative to increase the number of troops.

Suzuki Soroku took a deep breath and slammed the table: "Your Excellency, please make up your mind to increase your troops, this battle is already ready to be attacked, and the empire can only win, not lose." ”

Hamaguchi's eyes widened, and he just looked at Shonroku Suzuki. Suzuki's face was already iron-blue and almost black, and he said eloquently: "Haven't you noticed that the overall mentality of the Chinese people has undergone subtle changes since their last victory over the Soviet Union?" They are no longer afraid of strong enemies from outside, and they no longer regard themselves as weak. Their national self-confidence has begun to be restored, and according to the information we have, the reason why the various factions of the Northern Branch formed the 'Anti-Japanese Allied Army' this time is not because they think that their nation is in danger of survival, but because they are worried that the Kuomintang will occupy the territory of Shandong Province after defeating the empire."
