Chapter 578: Xiangfan Calls
Chapter 578 Xiangfan called
The Sulu Garrison Corps of the Independent Division, in Anhui Province, was besieged by a large number of citizens, and it finally came to light, this qiē, it was all a conspiracy, and the city government and the city party department jointly created this incident, and the root cause was He Yingqin and Chen Guofu.
Tang Qiuli is not surprised that He Yingqin planned this matter, after all, the two have a deep grudge, but Chen Guofu, who is the head of the Organization Department of the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang and the backstage boss of the Central Committee, also actively intervened in this matter, and did not hesitate to use his own spy system, which made Tang Qiuli very angry and puzzled.
There is no personal grudge between himself and Chen Guofu, and there has been no conflict, what is the purpose of his doing this?
Jia Hongcheng and Li Zonghan's two confession materials were lying quietly next to Tang Qiuli's hand, the white paper reflected the light, it seemed that a layer of fog was lingering in front of his eyes, and he vaguely felt that there must be some mystery in this, which he had not yet understood, or he had not considered it.
Walking out of the house, the camp was quiet, Haozhou City was sleeping in the deep winter season, the cold stars flashed weird eyes in the night sky, Tang Qiuli looked up at the starry sky, history and the future, flashed quickly in his mind, the memory of the previous life, the tide of impact on his thinking, maybe he had stayed in this world for a long time, and the past was as thin as smoke.
Suddenly, he seemed to grasp something, at the end of the historical tunnel, there was a faint light, and he thought deeply along this glimmer of light, and his heart suddenly opened up, and he finally accurately grasped the root of the incident.
Within the Nationalist Government, the most promising successor to the position of Chairman Chiang, or in other words, the number two people who became the No. 2 people were none other than He Yingqin and Chen Guofu, who were the former military and political ministers of the Nationalist Government and held great military and political power, and the other was the head of the Kuomintang Organization Department and held the power of party affairs.
He Yingqin was born out of thin air, blocking He Yingqin's way, and the conflict with him also stemmed from this, this is a political enemy, then, He Yingqin suppressed himself in many ways, there is a reasonable explanation, but He Yingqin's luck is not very good, the Xi'an incident happened, He Yingqin's ambition is infinitely inflated, plus there is the support of the Japanese in secret, and he hopes to replace Jiang Zhongzheng's position, but he was disturbed by himself and ruined a good thing.
He was suppressed by himself, and since then he has been in a slump, and he can no longer step into the center of power, he has been completely marginalized, and he is already a figure who can't make much waves, and He Yingqin's loss of power made Chen Guofu see the opportunity, and he is his stumbling block, at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, when discussing the strategy to be adopted for the Xi'an incident, Chen Guofu stood on He Yingqin's side, it is not difficult to explain, in fact, He Yingqin and Chen Guofu both hope that the old man will have an accident.
After sorting out the context of the incident, Tang Qiuli walked back to the house quickly, and carefully packed up the two materials, these are two bombshells, He Yingqin is already a dead tiger, it doesn't hurt to fight again, it is best not to turn over forever, Chen Guofu is not damaged at all, and he has the same name as Dai Li's military commander in his hand, which is a difficult opponent to deal with.
As for the party affairs system he mastered, Tang Qiuli didn't pay attention to it at all, the spies of the Central Unification were what he was most worried about, the open gun was easy to dodge and the hidden arrow was difficult to prevent, it was best to break the hidden arrow in Chen Guofu's hand, or it was so suppressed that he couldn't raise his head, which required him to train an opponent, and Dai Li's Military Command Bureau was the best candidate.
The good fate that was formed at the beginning, today is going to get good results, between himself and Dai Li, the personal relationship is quite good, there is no Xi'an incident, and the double reed sung by himself and Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng can't be exchanged for Dai Li's heartfelt reciprocation today, Tang Qiuli can't help but laugh dumbly, he has always hated this thing.
Unexpectedly, there is still no escape, not only to fight with the Japanese, but also with the heavyweights within the national government, the danger is no less than the rain of bullets on the battlefield, the world is unpredictable, since Chen Guofu jumped to the forefront, he is unable to avoid this secret fight, the taste of being often calculated is very uncomfortable, with his own experience as a human being in two lives, I am afraid that he Chen Guofu will not succeed? As soon as he thought of this, Tang Qiuli's thinking broadened,
In the morning, Tang Qiuli sent three telegrams in a row, in his capacity as vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, to the Anhui provincial government and the provincial party headquarters, investigating the situation of Li Zonghan, mayor of Haozhou, and Jia Hongcheng, secretary of the city party department, for their negligent behavior, partiality in believing rumors, failure to deal with the citizens of Haozhou in a timely manner, and deliberate siege of the rest and reorganization units of the Sulu garrison corps of the independent division, causing further expansion of the situation and causing great damage to the troops.
The Anhui Provincial Government and the Provincial Party Department immediately dismissed the two of them from their respective positions, handed them over to the Division, and sent capable cadres to preside over the overall situation of the party and government in Haozhou, thinking that it was necessary to build Haozhou into a stable rear area to resist Japan.
Tang Qiuli did not poke out the truth, but seemed to understate, removed the two from their posts and investigated the matter, Li and Jia are just two pawns, and if they investigate too hard, they will also alarm Chen Guofu and He Yingqin, they are vigilant, take precautions in many ways, and they are not good for the next plan, which also makes Chen Guofu and He Yingqin mistakenly think that they do not know the truth and root cause of the incident, and after this incident, the two of them should also be honest for a while.
Then, he sent a telegram to Li Zongren, asking him to go to Haozhou and his party, since there are rumors in the market that the great victory in Xuzhou was done by the Gui family, then let this newly rising anti-Japanese hero come to show up and restore the original face of the matter, first, to clear the injustices of the Sulu garrison corps, and secondly, to ask for an explanation for the soldiers.
In the afternoon, after receiving a telegram from Sun Zhenbang and Jiang Yanming, they surrounded the troops in Shexian County, and in accordance with the instructions of the division commander, adopted the tactics of encircling but not attacking, and bombarded the fortifications of Shexian County day and night with fierce artillery fire.
Sun Zhenbang's department, which ambushed the Kwantung Army, has annihilated all a wing of the Kwantung Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers in the Kwantung Army is obviously better than that of the Japanese soldiers in North China, but it is still completely annihilated by a wing, so Sun Zhenbang built a unit to increase the intensity of the attack on Shexian County, and the troops of the Kwantung Army came to help, so as to eat another division of the Kwantung Army, which is the best result.
From Sun Zhenbang's telegram, Tang Qiuli saw signs that worried him, annihilating a wing of the Kwantung Army, the troops really couldn't enjoy the fight, and wanted to expand the results of the battle, but they didn't realize the potential crisis, why did the second army that was besieged in Shexian break through, the attack of the troops was only one factor, and more importantly, they wanted to meet with the Kwantung Army troops who came to reinforce and bite back, which means that the Kwantung Army troops that followed behind must be the main force of its southbound corps, not something that Sun Zhenbang's troops could gnaw. If you don't make a good scene, you will be dumplings by the Japanese army.
At the same time, a large number of reconnaissance troops were dispatched to closely monitor all the movements of the southward Kwantung Army, adjust the deployment, and take the southward corps of the Kwantung Army as the operational goal and prepare for the next campaign.
Tang Qiuli was not very satisfied with the results of the Shexian Campaign, which was far from his goal of annihilating at least one division of the Kwantung Army, and the commander of the Kwantung Army, this time only dispatched the strength of one wing to the direction of Shexian, it can be seen that this person is extremely experienced in using troops, if you don't fight, the Japanese troops of this wing will take advantage of the situation to enter Shexian, which will enhance the garrison of Shexian and boost morale.
If the battle starts, it will expose the intentions of the troops, and also remind the troops behind the Kwantung Army that the Chinese army is setting up an ambush in the middle, whether it is a bait or a temptation, in short, there is no nest to reinforce the second army in Shexian, so that Sun Zhenbang's troops open a big net, only a small fish was caught, and the harvest was very small, from then on, the name of Okamura Ningji, the commander of the Kwantung Army's southward corps, officially appeared in Tang Qiuli's sight, with the information obtained from his previous life, Tang Qiuli knew that this was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with.
Xuzhou, the headquarters of the commander of the theater, Li Zongren, who received Tang Qiuli's telegram, couldn't help but blush, Xuzhou's great victory, his reputation is rising, and those words of praise in the newspaper made his own heart beat a little, including many of the Gui royal or manipulated and bribed pens, and those articles written, Li Zongren also felt that it was a little excessive.
The whole process of the Battle of Xuzhou, he knew very well that the troops of the Independent Division, for this great victory, how much they paid, he understood better than anyone else, since Tang Qiuli did not jump out to fight for merit or a piece of the pie, he was happy to pretend not to know, the so-called pretending to be confused was probably the realm of Chief Li at this time, and now that Tang Qiuli has sent a telegram, this confusion can't go on.
Li Zongren's heart is naturally full of dissatisfaction with the place of Maozhou, and it is absolutely impossible to shirk the trip to Maozhou, so after Li Zongren arranged the military affairs, he did not dare to slack off, and rushed to Haozhou in the evening of the same day, and after meeting with Tang Qiuli, he saw this vice chairman, and did not reproach or express unpleasantness at all, if he was embarrassed, he did not say a word, but apologized to Chief Li of labor, and his uneasy heart along the way was finally put in his stomach, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Tang Qiuli.
After having a pleasant dinner with Li Zongren, Tang Qiuli returned to the headquarters of the Sulu Garrison Corps, as soon as he came in, he saw Chen Feng holding a telegram in his hand, anxiously waiting for him, for this communications director, Tang Qiuli had a strange feeling, all the telegrams he personally sent were extremely important things, however, the recent ones sent were all bad news, and he couldn't help but think of the title of "ominous bird".
When Chen Feng saw him, his face showed joy for the first time, "Division Commander, Director of Intelligence Yu Deshui, and Director of Investigation Shen Jun called, in Xiangfan, Hubei, and found Tang Enbo's whereabouts" Tang Qiuli was shocked, this guy who had been damned ten thousand times finally showed his head.
