Chapter 354: The Liangguang Incident

Tang Qiuli wrote a telegram back with a stroke of a pen, read it silently, quite complacently, and then handed it to Mei Ting, who was waiting on the side, Mei Ting served as the secretary director, and all Tang Qiuli's incoming and outgoing messages and letters were handled by her.

After Mei Ting finished reading it, she smiled, handed the message back to Tang Qiuli, and said, "Qiuli, isn't this okay?" How can you say that you are also a serving general, a high-ranking official of the Nationalist Government, so you are not afraid of losing your dignity and making others laugh at you? ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head, "Mei Ting, this is still light, I just took care of my identity, otherwise, I would scold this guy to death on the spot, and save him from being a traitor, so that his ancestors would be humiliated, you don't know, with this kind of person, you can't be reasonable, only your fists are good to talk to, they will eat this set, the original text is sent as it is." ”

Yin Rugeng received Tang Qiuli's call back, he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, his face was pale, his lips were pale, his hands and feet trembled, and he scolded: "Tang Qiuli is a child, he is not disrespectful, he dares to humiliate me so much, and he is not finished with you."

Saying that, the telegram was torn to shreds in a few clicks, his temper was also released, and the fire was also on, so what could he do, the Japanese master meant that the camera acted, and it was impossible to send troops, Yin Rugeng was on fire.

There was no way, so the general order was issued to the Jidong Security Corps, all the troops, to be stationed in place, close the city gates, and the scattered troops to immediately shrink to a few central towns, and not to have any conflicts and disputes with the troops of the independent division.

If you can't fight back, scold or fight back, as long as you don't want your head, you can endure anything, Yin Rugeng doesn't want to fight, but his own strength is obvious, without the backing of the Japanese, and the independent division fights, I'm afraid it will not be a round, and the family foundation that I have saved up with great difficulty will lose all my money, and what will I do to be the emperor of the soil in eastern Hebei in the future.

Yin Rugeng was really scared, last year, the independent division was passing by, so casually waved his hand, his security corps of more than 10,000 people immediately disappeared, and he also took the life of his brother-in-law.

The troops led by Liu Tiehan were unimpeded on the land of eastern Hebei, and wherever they went, the eastern Hebei security corps closed the city gates, occupied several central towns, and completely gave the vast countryside to the troops of the independent division.

Liu Tiehan deployed his troops in the areas of Tangshan, Qianxi, Kuancheng, Pingquan, and Daoerdeng, and in terms of strategic situation, he had already blocked the land passage of the Japanese army in Northeast China and North China, and of course, this was only a strategic situation.

Once the war breaks out, the troops led by Liu Tiehan will become a lone army, in the middle of the Japanese army in North China and Northeast China, and the situation is worrying.

In order to be on the safe side, Tang Qiuli formulated a set of contingency plans for Liu Tiehan's troops, once there was a danger of falling into the encirclement of the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army in North China, the troops immediately went north to the Chabei grassland, entered the Inner Mongolia Plateau, waited for an opportunity to return to the northeast, and made a big fuss in the hinterland of the Kwantung Army, so that the Kwantung Army did not dare to send more troops to join the North China battlefield, and then, Liu Tiehan's troops withdrew from the northeast and attacked the weak areas of the Japanese army in the Rehe area, threatening the rear of the Japanese army in the northwest of Beiping.

In order to achieve this goal, Liu Tiehan's troops were required to have independent units such as the 7th and 8th Infantry Brigades, the 4th Artillery Brigade, and the 4th and 5th Cavalry Brigades, numbering about 36,000 people, with the ability to move with altimeters, and an intelligence network all over Hebei, so that they would promptly report to Liu Tiehan all the movements of the Japanese army.

Fight quickly, retreat quickly, and leave with one blow, which is also the reason why Tang Qiuli let Liu Tiehan, who is old and heavy, command this road unit and send two cavalry brigades, for this reason, Tang Qiuli used more than 600 cars to completely turn Liu Tiehan's troops into mechanized troops, which can march hundreds of kilometers overnight at an astonishing speed.

Unless the Japanese army is also a mechanized force, it is better, to attract a part of the Japanese army to the Inner Mongolia Plateau, which is far away from the Pingjin battlefield, directly weakening the overall strength of the Japanese army in North China, if the Japanese army sends a pursuit force, weaker than Liu Tiehan's troops, eat him on the spot, if the force is too strong, drag them away, the vast and vast Inner Mongolia Plateau, there is a great strategic maneuver place.

After deploying the troops, Tang Qiuli really hoped that the Japanese would follow his own rhythm and change the deployment accordingly, and he was not busy in vain.

However, the Japanese army in North China, determined to form an encirclement force with superiority over Pingjin, was not moved by Tang Qiuli's deployment, but concentrated its main forces in the Pingjin, Tianjin, and Baobao triangles.

In the Pingjin region of North China, a complicated situation has been formed in which we are among the enemy and we are among the enemy, and neither the Japanese nor Tang Qiuli have the intention of taking the initiative to attack, and a delicate temporary balance has emerged in the situation.

In September and October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army in North China made no major moves, and the troops of the independent division still followed the original deployment and adopted the strategy of waiting and seeing.

The Japanese did not make a move, the Chinese themselves made a fuss, and the Liangguang Incident broke out; in fact, the Liangguang Incident had already begun to emerge in June of this year, and the smell of gunpowder was full.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, the leaders of the Xingui faction, united with Chen Jitang, the local powerful figure in Guangdong, openly opposed Chiang, put forward the theory of "scorched earth resistance", and attacked the "inaction" of the central government headed by Chiang Kai-shek to sit back and watch a large part of the country fall, so that today's China has entered a state of "half-dead".

In fact, Li Bai and Chen Jitang of the Xingui clan and Chen Jitang of the Cantonese clan used the name of the anti-Japanese movement to rebel against the political incident of Chiang Kai-shek, the central leader of the Nationalist Government, which almost triggered a civil war, but ended peacefully with a compromise between the two sides.

At this time, Chairman Chiang devoted all his energy and mind to the Liangguang Incident, on the one hand, he dispatched troops and prepared to solve the problem by force to solve the powerful local factions in Liangguang that had been in a semi-independent state since the beginning of the Republic of China.

On the one hand, heavy money was bought, division and disintegration, coercion and temptation, and all kinds of means were exhausted, and finally a gap was opened in the camp of Chen Jitang, the southern king of the Guangdong system.

In July of this year, Huang Guangrui, commander of the Cantonese Air Force, led Yu Hanmou, commander of the First Army, to send a telegram to support the Nanjing regime and coerce Chen Jitang to go to the wilderness and immediately leave Guangdong and go to Hong Kong.

Because the Xingui system is different from the Guangdong system, in the process of its formation, a group organization with Li Bai and the two people as the core was formed, and the centripetal force was very stable, and Chiang Kai-shek's bribery and differentiation of the Xingui system was unsuccessful, and there were no military and political figures in the Xingui system who voted for Chiang.

Huang Shaohong, the No. 3 person in the Xingui faction, although he devoted himself to the Nanjing Central Government of Chairman Jiang, was "in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and he secretly communicated with Li and Bai, echoing each other from afar.

Out of strong indignation at Japan's invasion of a large area of land in China's northeast and north China, and out of sympathy for the Xingui faction, powerful factions from all walks of life and localities throughout the country began to lean toward the Xingui faction, and there was a call for a peaceful settlement of the Liangguang incident.

At the end of September, the central government reached a settlement with the local powerful factions of the Gui faction, and the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission issued an order that the positions of Li and Bai and the officials of the Gui faction remained unchanged, while the new Gui officials solemnly took up their posts in Nanning, declaring their submission to the central government of Chairman Chiang.

After more than four months of the Liangguang Incident, in which the two sides dispatched up to 800,000 troops to confront each other, they finally ended without firing a single shot.

In the smooth settlement of the Liangguang Incident, Chairman Chiang was the biggest winner, which can be described as "not a single shot or bullet, without bloodshed." Not only that, but he also picked up nearly 100 planes and countless weapons, equipment, and soldiers.

Although the Xingui faction did not hurt its muscles and bones, it was weakened by Chairman Jiang from a political faction that could influence the whole country to a local powerful faction.

The worst loser was Chen Jitang, the king of the southern heavens of the Cantonese system, who not only scattered his subordinates, defected to sincerity, and his power was uprooted, but also forced to go to Hong Kong to be a public servant.

After solving the Liangguang Incident, Chairman Chiang's prestige was like the sky, looking around, he no longer had an opponent, the Central Plains War, Feng Yuxiang, who disabled the Northwest Army, Yan Xishan of the Jin Sui system, the southwest provinces, pursued the Red Army, where the tentacles of the central government have stretched, and they have taken root.

The Japanese drove the strongest of the Northeast Army Zhang Xueliang out of his hometown for him, and he had no territory, so he had to send people under the fence, the so-called "phoenix that fell on the shelf is not as good as a chicken", and it could not become any climate, and the claws of the new Gui system were just about to stretch out to the hinterland of the Central Plains, they were cut off, the turtle retracted, and they had to accept the leadership of the central government.

Chairman Chiang can finally put all his energy and thoughts into the great northwest, where there is a big trouble for his henchmen, the enemy of the common sky, the ** Red Army led by Zhu Mao, is still in the north of Shaanxi, ceding land and claiming the king, and setting up another imperial court.

Tang Qiuli had long known the outcome of the Liangguang Incident, so as soon as the Liangguang side made a fuss, he received a telegram from Chief Yan of Shanxi, in which Chief Yan asked him about his attitude towards the Liangguang Incident and asked him about his tone.

Tang Qiuli maintained instinctive vigilance against this calculating Chief Yan, and he replied that the two Guangxi and Guangxi used the local government to confront the central government, which in itself was a great disrespect, and he resolutely stood on the side of the central government headed by Chairman Jiang, and neatly blocked the mouth of Chief Yan.

Tang Qiuli was still sincerely happy about the solution to the Liangguang incident, although this was the result of a political compromise, after all, it was to avoid a major civil war and avoid the internal attrition of China's national defense forces.

If the two sides of the two sides of the two provinces and then the Nanjing government start fighting, only the Japanese will be happy, and they will provide guns and ammunition and large sums of money to both sides free of charge, and the more fierce the battle, the better, and it is better that both sides will end up together, so that the Japanese will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen and occupy the whole of China without much effort.

It is certain that the final outcome of the Liangguang incident will greatly disappoint and irritate the Japanese.

When he received the information on the Liangguang Incident compiled by the intelligence department, someone was taking his beloved woman and a team of guards to have a picnic and barbecue in a deep mountain canyon in the Taihang Mountains.
