Chapter 245: You Are Unkind to Me and Unjust

After thinking about it, Lieutenant General Kameda Jiro finally decided to push the problem to the headquarters, who let them do this unauthentically? Since your ministry is not righteous, don't blame me for being unjust, and don't blame the 21st Division for all the.

"Someone, draft the message." Jiro Kameda's wandering back and forth at the headquarters finally stopped, indicating that he had made up his mind.

"Hi" The staff officer trotted over with a happy look on his face, holding the folder.

"Telegraphed to Commander Tada Jun of the Headquarters: The 21st Division is now encountering fierce resistance from the Chahar government in China, and the resistance is unprecedented. Although our 21st Division resisted bravely, it was outnumbered, the Chahar army had fierce firepower and had aircraft to help, and our division has suffered heavy casualties, so I ask the headquarters to urgently send reinforcements, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the Nanyuan airfield is completely lost. I hope the commander will make a decision sooner"

"Yaga Kameda Jiro, this hún egg, he dared to send such a telegram to me, he, a poor ghost from Kyushu, dared to talk to me like this" In the headquarters of the North China Garrison Army, Tada Jun was thundering.

Tada, who was born in the Sendai aristocracy, has always looked down on Kameda Jiro from southern Kyushu, believing that people born from such poor places are born to be cannon fodder. Therefore, he only gave the establishment of the 21st Division, which was originally designated as a second-class division, to the treatment of the third-class division, and in fact, the night was as Tada Jun expected, even so, Kameda Jiro had to pinch his nose and admit it, because if he made trouble in the base camp for this issue, Tada Jun would definitely have a hundred reasons to shirk this matter.

Kameda Jiro's forbearance also made Tada Jun look down on Kameda Jiro even more, and now Kameda Jiro actually sent such a message full of threats and intimidation, which made the always arrogant Tada Jun not burst into a rage?

"Commander, please be cautious, please don't say anything like this again." Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, chief of staff on the side, was shocked when he heard this, and it was very rude for a commander to insult a senior general under him in such a way and ridicule the background of others. Spreading it out will make the base camp have an opinion on Tada Jun, so he quickly stood up and admonished Tada Jun.

Tada Jun also realized his Meng Lang, and stopped talking after "humming".

Just like Jiro Kameda just now, Tada Jun also circled in the office. He knew that this time he was being commanded by Kameda Jiro. If he didn't send reinforcements, if the battle was lost, Kameda Jiro would be responsible, but he would not be able to run away as a commander.

"Okay, it's cheap for you this time" Tada Jun gritted his teeth and ordered: "Kimura-kun, you go and order the 11th Division to send two wings to support Kameda Jiro" This time Tada Jun finally swallowed the last two indecent words. "We must wipe out the Chinese army in Nanyuan Airport"

"Hi"

After receiving clear instructions from Tada, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro hurried down to issue the order.

It's just that Tadajun's order seems to have come too late, and half an hour later, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro came in and reported: "Your Excellency Commander, the Shina army at Nanyuan Airport has completely gained a firm foothold, and they relied on their firepower superiority to drive the 21st Division out of the Fengtai area without waiting for reinforcements from the 11th Division to arrive. Now the 21st Division, suffering heavy casualties, is retreating towards the city of Beiping, and Okamura Ninji's 2nd Division is joining it. ”

Headquarters of the XXXVII Army

"Report, the 10th Division has reported that Nanyuan Airport has been completely occupied, our army has taken control of the Fengtai area, and now our army is advancing to the city of Beiping City."

Su Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the occupation of Nanyuan Airport marked that the 37th Group Army finally had a foothold in Beiping. As long as the airway is kept unblocked, you don't have to worry about the back road, and you can let go and snatch control of Beiping with the little devils.

"Jianming, after the non-stop rush of transport planes, all the personnel and equipment of the 10th Division have arrived in Beiping, and it is time to transfer the 12th Division." Jiang Baili on the side suggested.

"En" Su Tong nodded: "Only the tenth division and the airborne regiment are indeed thin in terms of strength, and now the time is not so urgent, order Huang Jie, who is on standby in Kangzhuang, his twelfth division will set off immediately now, by land, and must arrive in Beiping before noon tomorrow." Attack and advance, you must take down Beiping for me. ”

Tianjin 38th Division Headquarters

"Master, are we really going to withdraw from Tianjin?" Huang Weigang, commander of the 112th Brigade, looked at Zhang Zizhong unwillingly and asked with a sad face.

"This is Chief Song's order, and we must carry it out." Zhang Zizhong smiled bitterly: "How can I be willing to evacuate?" But now that they have evacuated Beiping, and now the Japanese are storming Cangzhou and Jingxian, if we don't evacuate, we will be in danger of being dumplings by the Japanese. ”

"Bang"

Tong Zeguang, commander of the 113th Brigade, punched the table.

"What kind of battle is this fighting, we are obviously fighting well here, and it is difficult to distinguish between a division and a division with a little devil. But there are three divisions in Beiping, so why are they straw bales?"

Zhang Zizhong glared at Tong Zeguang: "Brigade Commander Tong, it's not that you don't know the situation of the other three divisions, if we don't have Jianming's support, do you think we can fight like this with the Japanese on the other side?" ”

Tong Zeguang snorted a little unconvinced: "It's not that Chief Su hasn't supported them, but I heard that the weapons and ammunition that Chief Su supported them were locked in Fengtai's arsenal like treasures, and in the end, with the loss of Fengtai, the Japanese were cheaper." Also, Chief Su originally wanted to send troops to support them, but Leng was blocked back by them, so I don't understand, would they rather give Beiping away"

"Shut up" Before Tong Zeguang finished speaking, he was stopped by Zhang Zizhong: "Brigade Commander Tong, you are also a senior general, why are you so unscrupulous?" After all, Chief Song, they are our superiors, how can we criticize the chief below."

"I" Tong Zeguang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Zhang Zizhong stopped his words: "Okay, don't say it, prepare immediately, and withdraw from Tianjin overnight tonight"

Tong Zeguang sighed and turned around and walked out of the headquarters, originally he wanted to persuade Zhang Zizhong to go to Chahar, with Zhang Zizhong's friendship with Chief Su, it was absolutely impossible to run away as a deputy commander, why follow those short-sighted guys in the 29th Army.

But at the same time, he also knew Zhang Zizhong's feelings, and without the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he would never do such a thing that was gossiped about.

Forget it, anyway, my life was given by Chief Zhang, and I will return my life to him when the time comes. Looking at Tong Zeguang's back, Zhang Zizhong also sighed secretly. He didn't know that there was no future for following those bigwigs of the 29th Army, but he Zhang Zizhong was a soldier, and obeying orders was the duty of a soldier.

Nanjing Leader's Mansion Office

Today, the Congress Party will gather a star-studded group, and many high-ranking government officials have come here to attend the military meeting, which will be presided over by Chairman Chiang. Those who attended the meeting included Feng Yuxiang, vice chairman of the Military Commission, He Yingqin, minister of military affairs, Chen Cheng, chief of education of the Lushan Officer Training Corps, Li Zongren, a Guizhou magnate, Yan Xishan of Shanxi, Yang Yongtai, secretary general of the government, and other officials.

The chairman of the committee looked around at the surrounding generals and turned his gaze to He Yingqin, and asked slowly: "Jingzhi, does your military and political department have any plans for the future war of resistance?" ”

He Yingqin stood up and replied respectfully: "Chairman of the Committee, our Ministry of Military Affairs has made a plan and arrangement after receiving your instructions. In order to more effectively mobilize domestic forces to fight the Japanese invaders, we plan to divide the whole country into seven theaters. ”

He Yingqin coughed and read: "Cheng Qian, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, is in charge of Pinghan Road. Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, was in charge of Shanxi. Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater, Su Tong, commander of the Seventh Theater of Operations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is responsible for Cha, Méng, Qing, and Ning. ”

When He Yingqin read the name of the commander of the Seventh War Zone, everyone's expressions were very strange, because the regional committee in charge of the Seventh War Zone was really too big, almost equivalent to two or three other war zones.

The chairman of the committee was very calm, and after listening to it, he asked quietly, "Do you have any other opinions on this plan?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, you are the boss, you can arrange it

"I have a question," a loud voice sounded.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Feng Yuxiang, vice chairman of the Military Commission. I saw Feng Yuxiang unceremoniously ask He Yingqin: "Since he has appointed him as the commander of the Seventh War Zone, why didn't he come to today's meeting?" ”

He Yingqin didn't dare to be presumptuous about Feng Yuxiang, the 'righteous brother' of the chairman, and explained with a wry smile: "We had already sent him a telegram a few days ago, but he called back and said that he was now commanding the troops to recover Beiping, and he didn't have time to come to the meeting. ”

After listening to He Yingqin's words, everyone's faces became even more strange, everyone knows the affairs of Beiping very clearly, a few days ago, the chairman of the committee just ordered Su Tong not to cross the border into Beiping, so as not to cause friction with the 29th Army. Although everyone knew that the chairman wanted to suppress Su Tong and stop the tiger outside the gate, so he used the name of righteousness to suppress Su Tong, and the effect seemed to be good, Su Tong stopped his action after receiving the telegram.

However, Japan did not give face to Chairman Chiang, and they immediately launched the '77 Incident,' forcing Chairman Chiang to declare war on Japan. But the 29th Army was too uncompetitive, and was defeated by the Japanese, and now it has retreated all the way to Baoding.

As for Su Tong, he took the opportunity to do it with the Japanese, but this time the chairman had nothing to say. People are fighting with the Japanese now, grabbing land from the Japanese, you can't say that people are engaged in friction. Now the chairman's face is embarrassed.
