On the night of March 31, 1928.

Beijing.

In the conference room of the War Department at Tieshi Hutong, several leading figures of various factions in Beijing were holding telegrams and snorting for cool air. Everyone's faces are blue and white, you look at me, I look at you.

Premier Zeng Qi sat in the top seat, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand, drinking without raising his head.

The voices of several high-ranking officials below gradually sounded.

“…… The 15 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also had more than 200 artillery pieces and more than 80 aircraft. This kind of military appearance is much stronger than last year's battle on the Middle Road, why is it less than a day...... This Feng Huanzhang is too useless, right? ”

"Hmph, a defective general, what is he capable of? How to command such an army? It's not that Zhong G is praising him. ”

"Don't be too discouraged, big guys, isn't it a complete failure yet? Didn't Feng Huanzhang's telegram say that he had gathered his troops and retreated to the inner city of Jinan to defend to the death? ”

"Yes, yes. I know the inner city of Jinan, it is a strong city made of iron and copper, and it is all made of stone. If the Japanese want to gnaw down, they will not be able to do it without three or five days, and then the reinforcements of the Kuomintang should arrive. ”

Hearing the sound of discussion, Zeng Qi put down the tea bowl in his hand and slowly raised his head: "You expect the Kuomintang to save Feng Yuxiang and GCD?" Hehe, you don't know yet, do you? Our Vice Premier Wang has already gone to the Japanese Legation to attend a dinner right now. The Japanese want to negotiate with the Kuomintang and hand over Shandong to the Kuomintang in exchange for tens of millions of indemnities, but those people in the inner city of Jinan are afraid that they have already written off the Kuomintang's account books, right? General Han Qing, if this good thing falls on your Fengjun, what will you do? ”

Zhang Xueliang was talking the loudest just now, as if he wanted to take the elite of the Feng Department to relieve Feng Yuxiang immediately. However, when he heard Zeng Qi's question, he was also stunned, and he lowered his head and said nothing. To tell the truth, if there is such a good thing for Feng Jun, his son Zhang Zuolin will also keep it and will not save it

There's not much to say about this. At present, China is the national condition, and it has to consume other people's strength to preserve itself. I can't wait to consume everyone else, and only myself is left...... This time, Feng Yuxiang volunteered to go to Jinan to defend the city, which was really unexpected. However, considering that the Kuomintang had already transferred him out of Shaanxi, and seeing that he was about to be thrown into the Shandong War of Resistance to be consumed, it was not surprising that he did so. Anyway, stretching out your head and slashing your head is also a knife, it's better to fight vigorously, maybe there is still a way to live?

Zeng Qi didn't save face for Young Master Zhang as soon as he opened his mouth, seeing Zhang Xueliang bowing his head and looking dejected, he also sighed deeply: "At present, our Chinese heavy industry is not much weaker than Japan, and our manpower, resources, land, and financial resources are not weaker than them, even the army...... It may not be their opponent. But why is this battle still a loss? It's not because of disunity...... People in Japan are monolithic, and they are working hard in one place. And what about us? is to calculate each other, pull each other's hind legs, only have their own little abacus in their hearts, how can there ever be a country? In my opinion, we're not much better than the year of the First Sino-Japanese War. ”

"But didn't Japan already promise to withdraw its troops...... Isn't it just to lose tens of millions, anyway, the Kuomintang also slaughtered the Japanese in Shanghai...... Don't care about the money, do you? ”

It was the Minister of the Navy Sa Zhenbing, who could not command a warship, who spoke, and the Admiralty and the War Department all worked in the Iron Lion Alley. For most of the past six months, he and Army Minister Wu Peifu have been playing chess, drinking tea, and chatting every day to pass the time, and it was not until the Sino-Japanese war broke out that they were a little busy. However, it is still not the job of commanding the navy and the army, but only "liaising and coordinating" the various factions.

"Huh...... Where is that cheap? Wu Peifu on the side sneered twice, glanced at Sa Zhenbing, shook his head and sighed: "At the moment, Jinan City is still fighting, and the Japanese naturally can't ask for a price...... Otherwise, the Kuomintang wouldn't be in a hurry to fight with them? When the time comes, the inside and the outside will be combined, and the outcome of this battle is still two words. The Japanese must now be playing a wishful thinking plan to break through, first destroying the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city of Jinan, and then raising the price to negotiate with the Kuomintang...... However, the Japanese defended them by virtue of the danger and occupied the geographical advantage, and the Kuomintang could not be defeated without several times the strength. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with lamentations, gasps, and silence.

……

At the same time that the princes in the Iron Lion Hutong were relatively silent, the restaurant of the Japanese Legation in Dongjiaomin Lane, Beijing was full of staggered funds, and it was the time for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves. A table full of delicacies, water and land treasures, or pure Cantonese cuisine. It can be seen that Japanese Minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa was attentive to the visit of Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun and his wife.

"Mr. Wang." Fang Ze Qianji saw that the heat was almost over, and he came to Wang Jingwei with a smiling face, and his tone was sincere: "This time the empire sent troops to Shandong purely to protect overseas Chinese, it was all the fault of Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang, and it had nothing to do with your party." Moreover, the empire does not want to be an enemy of your party, which is the meaning of Prime Minister Hamaguchi and the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor. We, the Great Japanese Empire, really want to make friends with the Kuomintang, but ...... We also hope that your party will give the empire a step down. ”

Wang Jingwei smiled elegantly, and nodded frequently as he listened: "Our president also hopes to be friendly with your country, and there are many comrades in our party who want to get along with your country. It's just that your country can't embarrass us too much, otherwise those young Zhuang factions in the military can ......" Speaking of this, Wang Jingwei just shook his head lightly.

Why does the military young Zhuang faction sound like they are talking about Japan? Fang Ze Qianji frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed: "It seems that we are all facing the same problem now, that is, we all want to get along amicably, but we also want to appease the radicals inside, right?" ”

Wang Jingwei smiled bitterly and nodded, now the Kuomintang army has completed the "de-militarization", but it has encountered the problem of "indignant youth". In particular, the young Zhuang faction officers who came out of the Whampoa Military Academy are young and vigorous at the moment, and they have nowhere to use their strength, and they look forward to fighting every day. At the moment, it is said that even Chiang Kai-shek has no way to take his group of students.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Mrs. Wang's wife Chen Bijun hurriedly smiled and played a round: "We politicians naturally can't be as short-sighted as those martial artists. It is a clear fact that peace between China and Japan will benefit both sides, and war will lead to defeat. Let's hurry up and negotiate a price, as long as your country's asking price is not too high, we can account for it...... The president also has a step down. ”

Fang Ze Qianji seemed to have captured some information from Chen Bijun's words, and a hint of surprise flashed on his face: "Then President Sun Da doesn't want the lives of the two countries to be ruined?" ”

Wang Jingwei glanced at his wife, then turned his head and smiled at Fang Ze and nodded: "The president naturally hopes that the two countries can be friendly for generations, but it's just ......"

Fang Ze Qianji sighed softly and smiled: "That's easy to do." In fact, the Empire's request is not high, but I just hope that your country will compensate Japan for the losses in the Jinan tragedy, and 20 million silver dollars will be enough. Moreover, the empire can also return Qingdao and Jiaoji railways to your party, this condition must not be said to be preferential, right? ”

……

Xuzhou Garden Hotel, in the General Headquarters of the Kuomintang Shandong Front Army. Zhou Elai and Xuanxia's father, who rushed to Xuzhou by plane before the fall of Jinan's airstrip, finally met Luo Yaoguo, the only "savior" of the 100,000 anti-Japanese allies in Jinan. A few people sat down in a living room with a large military map, and a few cups of steaming coffee had been brought by Natalie.

It's just that the three of them are just drinking coffee there leisurely at the moment, not that they have nothing to say, but they really don't know how to speak for a while. The 30,000 Red Army in China G was almost fooled into Jinan by Luo Yaoguo to defend the city, but he didn't expect the 150,000 troops in Jinan City to collapse so quickly. The Japanese just drove an army of more than 100,000 into a desperate situation with a simple detour. In this regard, Luo Yaoguo was speechless.

Zhou Elai and Xuanxia's father didn't know how to speak. Do you want to condemn the Kuomintang reactionaries for their passive resistance to the war and not save them from death? People wanted to come before, but Feng Yuxiang and Duan Qirui didn't let them...... As soon as Jinan was in an emergency, Luo Yaoguo sent Li Zongren to command three divisions to get on the train without saying a word, and at this time he had already arrived in Tai'an, which was still more than 50 kilometers away from Jinan City, and this response could not be said to be slow. But for the precarious city of Jinan, it is still too slow. Moreover, the remaining 50 kilometers are mountain roads, and the Japanese army will inevitably divide their troops to block reinforcements. With these dwarf Dongyang's combat power, it is still possible to block Li Zongren for three or five days, but can Jinan still hold on for three or five days?

Thinking of this, Zhou Elai couldn't help but complain fiercely in his heart about Feng Yuxiang, and then glanced at Luo Yaoguo, who was sitting opposite with a calm face.

The incompetence of Feng Yuxiang and the Nationalist Alliance Army really hurt the Red Army, and the entire 80,000 troops, except for a decent resistance in Maoling Mountain, were present for a while. In addition to collapsing and collapsing, the rest of the place barely survived overnight almost by the hard work of the Red Second Army. As a result, these warlord forces collapsed at the touch of a button at Qianfo Mountain, shaking the entire front, and even the air superiority that could have been counted on was wiped out by the fall of the airfield.

The resentment against Luo Yaoguo lies in the fact that this person's shrewdness has reached the point of reaction, and if you get a benefit from him, he will definitely get a lot of benefits from you. At the beginning, he helped the party to build up its territory and arms, and it seemed that he was quite active in demanding progress. As a result, he used Beijing to fool Anglo-American law, got the customs, recovered part of the concession, and borrowed 300 million US dollars, and later helped the party launch an uprising in the northeast, as if he was going to reform himself. As a result, a Red Third Front Army and the Second Route Army were created, and they were also used to seize Mongolia, and this time they used 34 counties to squeeze 30,000 Red Army into Jinan to defend the city, and now it looks like the whole army is about to be wiped out. Oh, and Northern Shaanxi Energy, Baotou Iron and Steel Complex, these seem to be Luo Yaoguo's "good intentions", but the motive behind this......

I don't know how long it took for this kind of embarrassing scene to hear Luo Yaoguo put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked in a slightly solemn tone: "Brother E, how many days can Jinan City be guarded?" ”

A trace of worry flashed on Zhou Elai's face, and he took a deep breath: "General Feng Huanzhang hopes that the reinforcements can reach the city of Jinan within three days. It's not very difficult for you guys, is it? After all, the Japanese army only had three divisions, and they had to allocate at least half of their forces to besiege Jinan. If we can work together and join forces with each other, it is still possible to defeat the Japanese army under the city of Jinan. ”

Luo Yaoguo kept a calm face and did not speak. Zhou Elai smiled coldly and said, "I think this is also Brother Fuwen's plan, right?" The current situation seems to be developing along your lines, right? ”

"Not exactly." Luo Yaoguo glanced at Zhou Elai, who still had no loss of grace, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that Feng Yuxiang and Duan Qirui's troops would be so unbeaten, let alone that Zhang Zongchang would fall into the water and become a traitor at such a critical moment of national disaster. And...... I also did not expect that the Japanese army would suddenly increase the number of divisions by two divisions. ”

"What" Zhou E jumped up suddenly, looked at Luo Yaoguo with straight eyes and asked loudly: "When did this happen?" Where have the two Japanese divisions arrived? ”

Luo Yaoguo sighed, and his mood seemed to be a little low: "Japan's Osaka Fourth Division and Himeji Tenth Division landed at Qingdao Port on the 29th and 30th. And the Jiaoji Line Railway can now pass to Linzi, and they may have arrived at the Linzi County Railway Station at this time, right? Linzi is about 90 kilometers from Jinan, and it should be ready for battle tomorrow night. So...... The defenders of Jinan must break through tomorrow morning, or they will definitely be annihilated."

Zhou Elai gasped and sat down slowly, his thick eyebrows already twisted together. At present, the inner city of Jinan has been surrounded by the Japanese army, and the 100,000 troops inside, except for the Red Army, which is less than 20,000, have been shrouded in an atmosphere of fear and pessimism, and there is not much will to fight left. The loss of weapons and equipment was even more serious, about half of the men were completely unarmed, and the artillery was less than 50 70mm infantry guns of the 16th type, and the ammunition was less than a base. It would be dangerous for such an army to defend the fortified city for a few more days, and it would be a death attempt to break through, right?

Xuanxia's father on the side slammed the table and shouted: "The troops in Jinan City have been fighting hard all day, and their weapons and ammunition have been exhausted, where is the strength to break through?" Are you just going to do nothing? Watching the anti-Japanese army annihilated? ”

Luo Yaoguo sighed, stood up and walked to the table on the side, took a military map around Jinan, and spread it out. The map is already densely marked with troop numbers and arrows of various colors. He pointed to Tai'an on the map below: "All the sappers of our three divisions arrived there at noon today, and they are rushing to repair an airstrip, and it is estimated that it will be put into use by tomorrow morning." At that time, there will be an aviation bombardment regiment and a destroyer group, a total of 124 A-1 light dive bombers and 40 F-1 destroyers. When the defenders of Jinan break through tomorrow, these planes will provide you with air support. ”

"Air support?" Zhou Elai raised his eyebrows, hesitated, and nodded: "Okay, I will inform Jinan, I just hope that you can do your best to support us at that time." And...... This kind of support shouldn't be limited to the air, right? ”

"That's natural." Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Early tomorrow morning, our three infantry divisions will launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army, at least two of them can contain their divisions, and you will break through to the west or northwest at that time, and it is best to cross the Yellow River." Then the Jinpu line railway was demolished, cutting off all land transportation from Tianjin to Jinan. ”

"What do you mean......" Zhou E looked at Jinan on the map, and suddenly thought of something. The Japanese army's plan seems to be to take Jinan, cut off the main artery of communication between the north and south of China, and then force the Kuomintang army to go north for a decisive battle or negotiate with Japan. However, this Jinan is not a coastal city, if more than 100,000 Japanese troops drive in, logistics supplies can only rely on the Jinpu Road (relying on the Feng system, of course, do not dare to cut off the logistics of the Japanese army) or the Jiaoji Railway. If all the railways were destroyed in these two days...... Not to mention starvation, the ammunition consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is astronomical, if the ammunition cannot be replenished in time, it is not a total annihilation?

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly: "As long as our two parties work together, it is absolutely just around the corner to drive the Japanese out of China." ”

Zhou Elai also smiled at Luo Yaoguo: "This is exactly what our party has always thought, but this time our party has suffered a lot of losses in Jinan City...... Even if you can break through, I'm afraid there won't be much equipment and personnel, I wonder if you can add it? Don't chill the hearts of the anti-Japanese army. ”

Luo Yaoguo shook his head with a smile: "Although your party has paid a lot of price in this battle, it has gained a lot. It can be said that every effort has paid off enough, and this reward is enough for you to grow and develop in the years to come. Am I right? ”

Zhou Elai was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he felt that Luo Yaoguo was right. If this Shandong War of Resistance can finally end with China's victory, China and G will indeed gain a lot. First of all, the territory of thirty-four counties was expanded, still in the densely populated plains. Secondly, the ranks of the Red Army have undergone the actual combat test of blood and fire, and their combat effectiveness will certainly be raised to a higher level. The third and most important point is that after this war, North China will definitely be able to get rid of the oppression of unequal treaties and recover its rights and interests such as tariffs...... That is indispensable for the current "economic construction" of China and G.
