Liu Tiehan's troops were stationed in Shandong, and most of the troops were deployed along the borders of Hebei and Shandong at Guantao, Linqing, Wucheng, Dezhou, Leling, and Xiǎo Botou to establish a defensive line, and some of Xiǎo's troops established a second line of defense on the south bank of the Yellow River.

In addition, Liu Tiehan shouldered this important secret mission, once the army landed in Shanghai, Liu Tiehan's main force quickly went south to East China and joined the Songhu battlefield, which was also a strategic reserve that Chairman Chiang did not know.

Once the army succeeds in the Songhu battlefield, it can threaten Tang Qiuli's Yellow River defense line in the north, and with a knife in his back, it will form a flanking attack on his troops with the Yue army in North China, and the troops in the Yellow River Valley theater will be attacked by the enemy on the back and fight on two fronts, and the situation is dangerous.

If, after the successful landing in Shanghai, the Yue army did not advance north, but fought from east to west, directly captured Nanjing, and besieged the capital of the Republic of China, then a great tragedy in history would inevitably occur, and the offensive posture that the Yue army did adopt was an absolutely unacceptable result for Tang Qiuli, and he could not forgive himself for the rest of his life.

The base camp of the Yue army will not sit idly by and ignore this stalemate, which does not conform to their overall strategic concept, and will certainly open up another front.

And Shanghai is the best location, one to occupy China's most economically developed and richest Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and the other to capture Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, from the historical data, the army is indeed in the North China War just over a month later, it is impatient to do it in Shanghai, however, it is the navy that preemptively started, Tang Qiuli stood in front of the large map of the Republic of China, quite brainless, in addition to the Yellow River basin can rest assured, looking around the coastline, everywhere is weak points, there is no defense, The army can carry out landing operations at any point.

It's just that he can't coordinate the national strategic layout now, and he can't worry about it, so after thinking about it carefully, he feels that Liu Tiehan's troops, taking into account the two strategic directions, the strength of the troops is weaker, and the nòng is not good, he is tired of running for his life, he can't take care of both ends, and he loses the other, and the troops in that direction are not enough.

He immediately sent a telegram to Brother Qiusheng to set up a mobile corps on the border and immediately organize it according to the standards of field troops, recruit reservists, and expand the troops, so that the total strength should reach about 76,000 in five infantry brigades, two artillery brigades, and one air defense brigade.

In addition, the trained recruits were transferred from the Yellow Cliff Dòng Garrison Brigade, the Recruit Supplement Brigade, and the Chōu to form a total of four brigades: the Independent 9th Brigade, the 10th Independent Brigade, the 11th Independent Brigade, and the 12th Independent Brigade.

The commander of the 9th Independent Brigade is served by Qiao Manshan, the former deputy commander of the 2nd Independent Brigade, the commander of the 10th Independent Brigade, Niu Shuangquan, the former deputy commander of the 3rd Independent Brigade, the commander of the 11th Independent Brigade, Ren Zhaoquan, the former deputy commander of the 6th Independent Brigade, and the commander of the 12th Independent Brigade, Chen Han, the former deputy commander of the 7th Independent Brigade, with 12,000 soldiers in each brigade.

In addition, the Fifth Artillery Brigade was formed, and the brigade commander was Qu Jiang, the former deputy commander of the First Artillery Brigade, and the Sixth Artillery Brigade was formed, and the brigade commander was Tang Qiushan, the former deputy commander of the Second Artillery Brigade.

In addition to the 12th Independent Infantry Brigade and the 6th Artillery Brigade remaining in North China, the remaining three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade were all assigned to the command of Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the Independent Division, to form the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, with Tang Qiusheng as the commander-in-chief, and the Corps has eight infantry brigades, three artillery brigades, and one air defense brigade, with a total strength of 120,000 troops.

On 16 May, the troops in Dingbian set out from Dingbian in Shaanxi Province and arrived in Luoyang in Henan via Shangluo and Lushi, and the three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade of Huangya Dòng set out on 17 May and arrived in Luoyang, Henan Province via Changzhi and Jincheng in Shanxi.

In this way, Tang Qiuli deployed two corps in Shandong and the future Songhu battlefield, with a total of more than 260,000 troops, and was personally led by the two deputy commanders of the independent division. ##看xiǎo说必去##

Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps entered 120,000 and stationed in Linyi and Zaozhuang in Shandong, Han Fuyu was unhappy again, he felt that Tang Qiuli had to make inches and deceived too much, first that Liu Tiehan's 140,000 entered, and then his brother came, and he also brought more than 120,000 entered, this is the treasure land of Xiangzhong Shandong?

The north and the south were attacked, and my Han Fuyu became a dumpling filling, which was repaid, and he sent a telegram of protest to Tang Qiu in a rhetorical manner, asking Vice Chairman Tang what this meant? Do you want to attack my old Han?

also sent a very aggrieved telegram to Chairman Jiang in Nanjing, for such a pig's head and hún eggs, Tang Qiuli was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, what kind of thing is it, said that Ben Jin has already sharpened the knife to a cold and shining, cold air, and is about to start, you still have the intention of fighting for territory and occupying the mountain, if you Han Fuyu can support the situation in Shandong, why should I deploy more than 200,000 troops to a place far away from the front line in North China?

There are only 200,000 mobile troops left to use, and I have to face nearly 400,000 troops, so why should I bother? He only replied to Han Fuyu with a few words: "Chairman Han, don't be suspicious, this is the strategic deployment made by the Yellow River Basin Theater Command to prevent Shandong and northern Jiangsu from failing. ”

Han Fuyu received a call back from Tang Qiuli, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and the flames in his heart flickered one by one, really the official was crushed to death, your surname Tang stretched out his two hands to my Shandong, and said that I hindered the unity of jīng, and let the not let me live?

However, Han Fuyu is also scolding at home, this surnamed Tang's heart is ruthless, and even He Yingqin's own nephew dares to shoot him, take my old Han is not, I don't know how to rectify it? Regarding Tang Qiuli's strength and means, Han Fuyu was also really afraid, and this matter was over.

However, Chairman Jiang called and asked Tang Qiu what his intentions were when he left Chen Bing in Xuzhou. The area around Xuzhou should not be under the jurisdiction of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command?

Tang Qiuli called back, and in order to ensure that the Peking University in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai was unharmed, and to prevent the army from going straight to Jiangsu and Zhejiang through Henan, Chairman Jiang pondered for a long time, and felt that it was reasonable, and called back to affirm Tang Qiuli's deployment, and transferred about 35,000 garrisons in the Xuzhou area to the command of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Yellow River Valley Command.

All of Tang Qiuli's deployments were completed within May 1937, and the base of the various units under his command was enough to consume normally for three months, and the logistical materials reached the standard of five months.

Although this kind of waiting made Jin Wan helpless and depressed, it was a waiting in jī moving and trembling slightly, for Tang Qiuli, it should be said that it was a kind of expectation, he sharpened the knife, he also polished the sword in his hand, and the rest was an excuse and reason that he wanted, and what Tang Qiuli gave them back was a thunderous blow.

Military issues, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, the main generals of all walks of life are all thousands of generals of independent divisions, for them, Tang Qiuli is full of confidence, only the Central Army troops in Henan in the middle road, which makes him a little uneasy, but for the time being, it can only be like this.

He still has one more important thing to do, and that is the Palace Museum in Beiping City.

There, there are thousands of national treasure-level cultural relics and antiques, all of which are rare treasures, and they are under the muzzle of the gun, how can he feel at ease?

Historical records record that after the outbreak of the July Seven Incident, the army occupied Beiping, the rare cultural relics in the Palace Museum, in addition to the work of the Palace Museum before the army entered the city, and most of them were rushed out, and the remaining cultural relics fell into the hands of the people, and then they were stolen back to the homeland.

There is a question that has been tormenting Tang Qiuli, and it is also a struggle that he has hidden in his heart for a long time, the first shot of the Anti-Japanese War originated in Pingjin, and the city of Beiping could survive under artillery fire, the ancient capital of the Three Dynasties, the glorious buildings, and they are all irreproducible or rebuilt, can they withstand a few shells?

Sticking to Beiping, with his current strength, he can do it completely, even if the army is heavily besieged, he can ensure that he does not fall into the hands of the enemy, however, this is fighting in his own home, and he can completely ignore it, but he has a lot of concerns.

yù The stones were burned, the city was slaughtered by war, and his prestige was fulfilled, but this thousand-year-old capital was destroyed, which is more important?

Beiping is the strategic, political, and economic center of North China, and it is said that the ambition is bound to win, with aircraft bombing, artillery bombardment, a huge Beiping city, so many ancient buildings, how can he Tang Qiuli not only keep Beiping, but also prevent the thousand-year-old capital from being destroyed in the war, how can he be comprehensive?

Said that Ben into the hands and feet, to the death, anyway, the broken is not to enter the family, you can't take it away, and it is not left to China, it is said that Ben into is holding such a mind, no burden in the heart, no scruples.

Can I make a bet on the thousand-year-old capital and the architecture of the Three Dynasties for the sake of my own false name? Tang Qiuli asked himself, he can't, he can't afford it, and he can't afford it, a Old Summer Palace, let countless China enter, and his heart is still painful.

He didn't dare to imagine that standing in front of the broken wall of the Beiping Forbidden City, which was full of rubble and ruins, the carved railings and paintings turned into curling smoke, and the splendor became remnants of bricks and tiles.

Tang Qiuli made up his mind to abandon Beiping and defend Yaojin and Baoding, he knew that if he did so, what would he bring to himself, the infamy was rolling in, another general who did not resist, Zhang Xueliang was second, etc., the spit of the country could drown him!

What do men have to carry? After having his own merits, he commented that if he was fighting in the local area, he would pour gasoline on the four islands of the city, and then set it on fire, watching the local area of the country turn to ashes in the flames, but this was in his own home.
