Chapter 604: Wuhan

Li Youting personally commanded the battle of Luoyang, and rushed to the first independent brigade of Henan stationed in Yanshi overnight, Luoyang was located on the Longhai line, and the Japanese army suddenly occupied this ancient capital, and the east-west traffic was cut off, and no one could afford this responsibility.

The First Independent Brigade of Henan is Li Youting's old foundation, born from the Independent Brigade of the Shandong Army, after he was supported by Wu Xiaoliang to become the chairman of the Henan Provincial Government, he expanded the first division and three brigades with the Independent Brigade as the backbone, so the First Independent Brigade of Henan is definitely the main force of the main force in the Henan Army.

After the General Staff Department studied the plan, it was decided to surprise the Japanese army to occupy Luoyang by surprise, and the task of being responsible for the assault was handed over, and the tank regiment established with the support of Wu Xiaoliang launched a general attack on the outskirts of Luoyang City that night.

But the result was a big surprise, when the tank regiment broke through the east gate of Luoyang and entered the city, it did not encounter a single bullet of resistance, from the railway station to the city hall to the garrison headquarters, there was not even a ghost shadow, in the city shrouded in darkness and night, except for a restless **, it was calm as if nothing was alive.

After the entire Henan First Independent Brigade marched into Luoyang City, Li Youting ordered martial law to blockade the city and at the same time carried out a thorough combing, and there was still no shadow of half of the Japanese army, until dawn, the Henan Second Independent Brigade coming from the direction of Yiyang drove to the outskirts of Luoyang City, and it was confirmed that the Japanese army had disappeared out of thin air in Luoyang City.

How can this make Li Youting willing, Wu Xiaoliang is relieved to hand over the military and political power of a province in Henan to him to act as an agent, but it turns out that such a shameful thing happened, and immediately sent people to visit the people in the city, and gathered government personnel to investigate, what happened in Luoyang City on this day and night.

Later, Li Youting personally went to Luoyang Airport and confirmed from the mouth of the airport staff that a large number of Japanese planes had indeed taken off and landed at Luoyang Airport.

But the specifics are unknown to anyone.

"Huh! The Japanese devils drove us all into the warehouse, neither killing nor fighting, until we heard the plane whirring outside, and then we came, and then we came, and our own people came......"

Li Youting's face was pale, and he couldn't care about the impolite nagging of this airport maintenance worker who was an eyewitness, it seemed that the Japanese army was suddenly attacking and retreating, in order to slap his face, he unconsciously touched his face twice, and this face was hard enough.

The situation in front of him made him very embarrassed, but he had no choice but to truthfully send a telegram to Kaifeng and report the situation in Luoyang 1510.

This lightning raid not only gave Li Youting a severe slap in the face, but also sounded the alarm for Wu Xiaoliang, and the Japanese airborne raid on Luoyang reminded him to take key air defense and landing measures on key targets, otherwise once there is a problem, the loss will be irreparable.

The loss of Luoyang was quickly regained, and this matter soon caused an uproar in the country, and Nanjing quickly stated that due to the rampant Japanese army, the first-tier cities of the Yellow River were in danger of falling into the battlefield at any time, and the National Reconciliation Conference was convened in Nanjing, the capital of the Nationalist Government.

For a time, however, the Nanjing Nationalist Government was unanimously condemned by the whole country, and it was almost reduced to a situation where everyone shouted and beaten, and Li Zongren, Chen Jitang, and others of the Gui and Guangdong factions resolutely opposed the proposal that it should be held in a southern city far from the northern theater, while Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng, Yan Xishan, and others again resolutely advocated holding the congress in Xi'an.

Seeing that the reconciliation conference was about to be stirred up, Wu Xiaoliang put forward a compromise proposal under his worries, hoping that all colleagues in the country would put the country and the nation first and make a choice between the two cities of Wuhan and Chongqing.

The heads of several major warlords pondered and pondered, and finally settled on Wuhan.

Therefore, it was decided that a reconciliation conference would be officially held in Wuhan half a month later, that is, on December 24.

The trip to Luoyang failed, Wu Xiaoliang did not plan to return to Jinan so soon, since he had already come out, he simply went west along the Longhai line to Xi'an to inspect it, but there was a sudden discordant sound from the rear of Jinan.

"Junzuo, Jinan telegraph."

Li Youting escorted him all the way, and as soon as he arrived in Zhengzhou, he received an urgent telegram from Jinan.

As soon as Wu Xiaoliang looked up, it was now a telegram sent by Li Youting himself.

"This is all the work of a confidential secretary, how did Jing Cong personally deliver the telegram."

Li Youting said respectfully: "I had something important to report, but I happened to meet it, but I didn't have this telegram from Jinan. ”

"There is chaos in Jinan, and unknown militants have occupied the railway station of the Jiaoji Line, and Li Qianting asked for instructions on how to deal with it."

Wu Xiaoliang's heart moved, and the people who could make Li Zejun helpless, I am afraid that there are only a few of them, could it be him, and suddenly a face appeared in front of him.

"Sue him, act according to the law, be impartial, and do not have to show favoritism."

Li Youting did not know much about the specific affairs of Jinan, and he thought that the relatives and subordinates of some senior military and political officials were making trouble again, and Li Zejun was afraid that it would affect the overall situation and it would be difficult to make a decision for a while.

Originally, Wu Xiaoliang didn't pay much attention to this matter, with Li Zejun's ability and the 57th Division, it would never cause much trouble, he just sighed a little, the infighting was endless, maybe this was just the beginning.

Suddenly, the confidential secretary knocked on the door again, "Chairman, Xi'an has sent an urgent telegram, Chairman Zhang has personally arrived at Tongguan to greet the chairman, and asked about the number and time of the train arriving in Tongguan." ”

Wu Xiaoliang asked the confidential secretary to reply according to the procedure, and waved him out.

"Zhang Hanqing is afraid that he has encountered difficulties, and the situation in Xi'an is the most complicated among the three provinces of Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi."

Wu Xiaoliang didn't know much about Zhang Xueliang's situation in Xi'an, and when he heard that Li Youting seemed to know some inside information, he asked: "Jing Cong knows some inside information, let's hear it." ”

"The Northeast Army has been in Shaanxi for a long time, and Yang Hucheng of the Northwest Army is fighting each other, the situation is really not good, recently I heard that and Yan'an is not very happy, several regiments have announced their defection from the Northeast Army, Zhang Hanqing is now in Xi'an, but he is on pins and needles, he can't wait to leave Shaanxi immediately and go to the battlefield to have a good time with the Japanese devils, or the 100,000 Northeast Army will have a tendency to fall apart."

"Well, that's true, but Zhang Hanqing is still too anxious, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a protracted war......"
