Chapter 219: Wait and see

Tang Qiu's departure from the Tunbing Shanhaiguan formed a great advantage in the strategic situation, and the advance could directly point to the eastern land of Hebei, the periphery of Pingjin, retreat, and return to the northeast, and the Japanese army repeatedly fought for strategic points on the line from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, killing and injuring its vital forces, and going north, it could maneuver with the Kwantung Army in the Chahar grassland and Rehe and other places, forming a great space for maneuver.

In addition, you can wait and see the movements of the Japanese army in North China, and the reaction of the local powerful factions in North China, and it is better for the main force of the devils to follow, so that you can take advantage of the situation to go south, and if the Kwantung Army troops follow into the pass, the overall strategic layout of the Japanese base camp will be disrupted.

Under the circumstance that Japan was not fully prepared for an all-out war with China, the Kwantung Army's large-scale entry into the customs might provoke Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, arouse a high degree of vigilance against the Japanese Government's ambitions, strengthen the defense forces in North China, and fight desperately with the Red Army in the province, perhaps avoiding the occurrence of the "77" incident.

If the direction of history will really change like his own good wishes, it will definitely be a great blessing for the Chinese nation, so that the land of China will not fall into eight years of bitter war, and the lives will not be destroyed.

In the past few days that the troops have stayed, Nanjiro's Kwantung Army mobile encirclement and suppression corps continued to advance in the direction of Jinzhou, and the devils in North China still showed no signs of being transferred, and it seemed that they had no intention of recapturing Shanhaiguan.

In the Haiyang area, after a few days of confrontation with Yuan Jinghao's detachment and Tong Batu's second cavalry detachment, they tentatively launched several small-scale attacks, except for throwing a bunch of corpses, they did not catch anything, because the troops did not receive combat orders and were in a defensive posture, and Yin Rugeng's security forces showed no signs of withdrawing.

Tang Qiuli scattered the special operations detachment to most areas of Hebei, mainly to monitor the movements of the Japanese army in North China, and he always wondered whether the Japanese army had a greater conspiracy, that is, to use the two major military groups of North China and the Kwantung Army to adopt the strategy of encircling the north and the south and gathering and annihilating them.

As for the Yin Rugeng Security Corps in front of him, with this rabble of more than 10,000 people, he can't stop his own footsteps, as long as the mobile troops of the Kwantung Army arrive in Jinzhou, and the direction of his next attack is clear, he can confirm his guess.

However, it doesn't matter at all, the troops can move to the northwest and contain most of the Japanese troops in North China and Northeast China in the Chahar and Rehe areas, and Liu Tiehan in Huangyadong in the Taihang Mountains can take the opportunity to uproot all the military points of the Japanese troops stationed in North China and the Pingjin area and the Rehe area, and see what the devils will use to launch the "77" incident.

A few days later, the troops of the Kwantung Army finally entered Jinzhou, followed by a large number of Japanese troops moving south, and Tang Qiuli nervously watched Nanjiro's next move.

The Kwantung Army passed through Jinzhou, went to Huludao, Xingcheng, crossed the Liugu River, and entered the first line of Suizhong.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, and was vaguely disappointed in his heart, the attempt to introduce the devils from the Northeast into North China and provoke Chairman Chiang of the Nanjing State Government failed, or did the Japanese base camp guess their intentions and refuse to change their overall strategic layout for an anti-Japanese force of tens of thousands of people, and firmly that the original plan of invading China remained unchanged?

Tang Qiuli was somewhat incomprehensible about the actions of the Japanese army, so he simply didn't think about it, and the traitor Yin Rugeng's security forces couldn't bear it in the past few days, and launched many attacks on the position of Yuan Jinghao's detachment, all of which were repulsed.

Since this hardcore traitor is begging to be beaten, he is not polite to him, Tang Qiuli formulated a battle plan against Yin Rugeng's security corps, and the core gist is one, annihilation

For Yin Rugeng, Tang Qiuli's heart is full of disgust and hatred, this hardcore traitor, with the support of the Japanese, under the guise of **, traitor traitor, its puppet regime, established on November 25, 1935, the earliest is the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Autonomous Committee, with Tongzhou as the seat of government, ruling an area of about 8,200 square kilometers.

Tang Qiuli has always been very strange that Chairman Chiang of Nanjing was able to tolerate this big traitor and bite such a big piece of fat in eastern Hebei, which deprived the Nationalist Government of a natural defensive outpost and buffer zone to prevent the Japanese army from northeast China from invading south, and also made the Japanese army in northeast and north China echo each other from afar, connect as one, and help each other.

If it is said that there are factors that weaken Zhang Xueliang's strength by abandoning the Northeast, there is some truth in this, but there is no military group or local powerful faction in North China that can threaten Chairman Chiang's central position, and this is not like Shanxi, where there is a local emperor Yan Xishan, who is like an iron bucket operated by Shanxi, and cannot insert a needle.

In his previous life, whenever Tang Qiuli saw this period of history, he was puzzled, and now, in this era, he still feels doubtful, and he really can't guess what Chairman Jiang of the Nanjing State Government thinks and considers the problem from that angle.

The battle plan was sent down by Feng Jiwu and Zhao Yuhe to the troops, and the day before the troops were to move, they suddenly received a report from the front troops, saying that the Nanjing Nationalist Government had sent a representative, carrying an important document, to meet with the commander.

In Shanhaiguan City, in an antique courtyard, Tang Qiuli and the members of the command headquarters met with the representatives of the national government, a total of three of them, to Tang Qiuli's surprise, one of the representatives turned out to be the head of the Tianjin Station of the Military Command Bureau, his old acquaintance Liu Chengwan Brother Liu, to this brother, Tang Qiuli has always been very respectful in his heart, this brother, unlike those who are agents, always has an indescribable taste on his body, which makes people have to be vigilant, at least, his friendship with himself is sincere, and it is also very helpful to himself.

As soon as the two met, the sincere enthusiasm made the other two government representatives stunned, almost fell through their glasses, and secretly admired in their hearts that the people of the Military Control Bureau were very powerful, and they had already had a relationship with this bloody hand, who was hated by the Japanese to the core, but was quite valued by Chairman Chiang.

Looking at their intimacy, the relationship is definitely not ordinary, no wonder Liu Chengwan was sent as a representative at the beginning, and we still wondered! What is a big spy involved in this matter? It turned out that the top had already considered it, and with him, the safety factor was much higher when dealing with this bloody hand who killed the Japanese without blinking.

With a proud expression on his face, Liu Chengwan introduced Tang Qiuli to two other government representatives, one is Qin Yude, deputy secretary general of the Nanjing Executive Yuan, and the other is Wang Rushan, secretary general under Song Zheyuan, chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha Procuratorate.

The three deputies came for only one purpose, that is, to hand over a handwritten letter from Chairman Chiang, in which Chairman Chiang praised Tang Qiuli's achievements in the northeast over the past few years and called him an elite of the nation and a capable person of the country.

Tang Qiuli of course understood that Chairman Chiang was not a good person, and that in the past few years in Northeast China, he had beaten the Kwantung Army to the brink and suffered losses, and attracted the attention of the Japanese Government to the Northeast, which greatly reduced Chairman Chiang's military and political pressure in North China, and he did not stop fighting with the Kwantung Army in the dark, and the Japanese troops in North China rarely made small moves, and there were fewer headaches for Chairman Chiang, so he could concentrate on dealing with the Red Army.

After praising himself fiercely, he said euphemistically that because of the opposition of many bigwigs in the national government, saying that he was from an unknown source, and that he had a deep grudge with the Japanese, he was afraid that he would be granted a high position, which would cause dissatisfaction among the Japanese, and then provoke Sino-Japanese disputes, which was not beautiful, and so on.

It was really difficult to realize the establishment and number of a group army that was originally intended to be agreed, and only one division could be given a number, but as for the establishment, he did not mention it, and there was still a lot of room for it, and it should be that Chairman Chiang knew the number of soldiers under his command, and it was not good to impose a rigid restriction on the number of troops, so wouldn't that force him to reduce the number of troops? How could Chairman Chiang, who was proficient in the art of power scheming, make such a low-level mistake.

As for how to set it up, Tang Qiuli made his own decision and reported it to the Ministry of Military Affairs for the record, and the division was under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nanjing National Government, and in view of the current form, it was transferred to the 29th Army for control.

Tang Qiuli, commander of an independent division, has the rank of lieutenant general, brigade commander has the rank of major general, regiment commander has the rank of colonel, and the rest of the officers at all levels are awarded corresponding military ranks according to the positions they hold.

At the end of the letter, Chairman Chiang proposed that after a short break in northern China, the independent division would immediately go to Shaanxi to fight the front line against the Red Army, and cooperate with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to exterminate the remnants of the Zhumao Red Army that had fled to northern Shaanxi, so as to make new contributions to the party-state.

After reading this dizzying letter, Tang Qiuli understood what Chairman Jiang meant, and the whole article is the last few sentences, which are the real drama meat, and also the true intention of Chairman Jiang, the previous content is all flowers and applause, and it is also a necessary bargaining chip in exchange for his own troops to go to the front line in northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communist Party.

Tang Qiuli really admired Chairman Jiang's political skills and scheming skills, and in a letter, all the means of a political figure were brought into full play.

The three government representatives, holding tea in their hands, looked at the expressionless appearance of this young man, and they couldn't guess his mental activities and changes, according to their own understanding, to speculate Tang Qiuli's thoughts, the room was very quiet.
