Chapter 944 Fujian Layout

After Tang Qiuli was in Yunfu County, Guangdong, and after concluding the military joint defense meeting of the five southern provinces, Yunfu set off and traveled through the entire territory of Guangdong to Quanzhou, Fujian, to inspect the defense of Feng Jiwu's corps on the southeast coast.

Yu Hanmou, chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government and commander of the provincial garrison, seized this opportunity to send a reinforced division of more than 20,000 troops in the name of escorting Vice Chairman Tang to march with him.

Yu Hanmou's move to pull the banner is quite smart, and he knows how to use his strength, to be honest, Tang Qiuli doesn't think much of Yu Hanmou as a person, just by virtue of his betrayal of the original old commander, Chen Jitang, the king of the Southern Heavens, it proves that this person's heart is not right, it is a villain's move, and in addition, the situation of Guangdong seen along the way, all forces occupy the mountain, and make a mess of Guangdong, which occupies the coastal benefits, and the impression of Yu Hanmou is even worse.

Tang Qiuli believed that from the several main corps of the independent division, a brigade commander who was arbitrarily selected to govern Guangdong would be better than Yu Hanmou, and he had the idea of occupying Guangdong, but he had a lot of scruples, which frightened the local powerful factions in the men's provinces, and the joint defense agreement of the five provinces, which was not easy to reach, was somewhat worth the loss.

Out of the border of Guangdong, when he arrived in Yongding, Fujian, the escorted Guangdong army, there was still a battalion of troops left, but Yu Hanmou's chief of staff, always followed by his side, and when he arrived in Fujian, the task was completed.

"Thank you Chairman Yu for your deep friendship and sending troops to escort you all the way, it seems that the situation in Guangdong is better than other places, otherwise, you will not only use a battalion of troops to escort Tang to the border of Fujian," When he said this, Tang Qiuli was smiling, and Yu Hanmou's chief of staff couldn't help but blush, no matter how thick-skinned he was.

He heard the ridicule in the words of the young vice chairman, and after hurriedly saluting, he hurriedly left with his subordinates, and the vice chairman Tang already knew Chairman Yu's intentions, so he stayed longer, and he might not have heard what to say, thirty-six plans to go for the upper plan, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing, and looked very proud.

Mei Xue beside him glanced at him and said, "Qiu Li, you bully people again, he is very good," it seems to blame him for being unkind, indeed, Yu Hanmou's chief of staff is a clever person, along the way, he is meticulous, which makes Mei Xue have a good impression of him, Tang Qiu couldn't help but smile, and replied, "Xue'er, this trip, Yu Hanmou took a big advantage, can afford this sentence, and also give him a reminder, don't think that others are stupid." Mei Xue could only shake her head, her own man never suffered.

In order to welcome and protect Tang Qiu's departure to Fujian, Feng Jiwu can be described as a big deal, sending two regiments of troops to wait in Yongding, and even more than a dozen tanks.

If Feng Jiwu had sent such a big battle in the past, Tang Qiuli would definitely have severely criticized him, but he had just made a mistake, and he was already extraordinarily generous to be allowed by these bigwigs to continue to inspect in the south, at this time, Tang Shao also learned to conform to public opinion, and he was afraid that if he would be grounded in the future, then life would lose a lot of fun, which was not what he wanted.

Feng Jiwu's corps headquarters was located in Quanzhou, close to the Taiwan Strait, and the purpose of Feng Jiwu's corps stationed in Fujian was to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to take advantage of the Fujian coastal area when it was attacking Liangguang.

When Tang Qiuli walked into the conference room, the audience stood up and applauded like a storm, almost lifting the conference room.

At the meeting, Tang Qiuli did not listen to the report on the military aspect, but focused on other aspects, especially about the local government of Fujian, the support given to the Niangziguan garrison corps, and asked Here, the officers attending the meeting were somewhat depressed, it seems that the troops of the independent division are not very well received in Fujian, and it is estimated that these officers stationed in various places are aggrieved and angry.

Under careful questioning, there are indeed many problems, concentrated together, there are several aspects, first of all, living habits and language barriers, this is the biggest problem that plagues the troops, food is not smooth, and communication with local clerks, don't mention that effort, secondly, the climatic conditions and geographical environment, independent division troops, have become accustomed to fighting in the north, wherever is the old base area, you can get to the destination with your eyes closed.

It's good in Fujian, it's hard to even find a guide, the locals, there is an instinctive antipathy and wariness of the troops, as soon as they see the soldiers, they will stay away, and the local government is even more uncooperative, many soldiers do not adapt to the climate, and many of them get sick, which has affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the difficulties have been said a lot, Tang Qiuli has been listening with a smile.

These officers, poured out the grievances in their stomachs, and their mood was a lot better, these situations, Tang Qiuli had already been psychologically prepared, in history, the ** four fields of the million-strong army went south, but also because of the lack of adaptation to the environment, the non-combat attrition of the troops, even reached more than 20 percent, when the corps of the independent division began to go south, Tang Qiuli strictly ordered commanders at all levels to pay attention to this problem, from the psychological and material preparation of the soldiers, to do all the work in advance.

Now it seems that the non-combat attrition of the troops is at a minimum, and it is gradually adapting to the new environment, on the issue of communication with the locals, Tang Qiuli only gave one article, absorbing local young people to join the troops, as for the issue of cooperation with the local government, Tang Qiuli had already written the National Administration before Feng Jiwu's corps entered Fujian, and appointed Lieutenant General Feng Jiwu, the commander of the corps, who was also the chairman of the Fujian provincial government.

In the end, Tang Qiuli said, "All of you here are commanders who command thousands of troops, and they are stationed on one side, it stands to reason that when you come to the corps headquarters for a meeting, you should entertain everyone well, but unfortunately, I didn't bring the ocean with me, but you Commander Feng want to have a banquet for everyone, I have absolutely no opinion, and I can take the opportunity to have a meal." ”

The officers laughed, Feng Jiwu grinned, daring to love, the division commander knocked on his head, the result was that Feng Jiwu was bleeding profusely, in the most famous restaurant in Quanzhou, all the participating officers were invited to a banquet, the authentic southern Fujian flavor, originally let these soldiers from the north, not very adaptable, in their words, eat so much that the bird faded out of their mouths, because today there is a division commander, it seems to have become a delicious delicacy, bursts of laughter, Quanzhou citizens on the street can hear.

The evening breeze in the Taiwan Strait brought the breath of the sea, Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu walked side by side on the beach by the sea, their demeanor was very leisurely, more than a dozen special guards, not far away to form a protective net, the mountain tiger was a few steps away from Tang Qiu, tense all the nerves, since there was the Guibeibei incident, the mountain tiger's protection of Tang Qiuli was mentioned to the highest level.

Tang Qiuli bent down, picked up a small shell, played with it in his hand, and asked Feng Jiwu, "Jiwu, after the troops were stationed in Fujian, did the Japanese army on the opposite island of Taiwan have any abnormal actions?" Feng Jiwu smiled contemptuously and replied, "They didn't dare to make big moves, but there were some small actions of stealing cats and teasing dogs. ”

Tang Qiuli was very interested and asked, "Oh, what are those small movements?" "A few days ago, planes were constantly dispatched to reconnoiter deep into the interior of Fujian; at first, the troops did not pay much attention, but the little devils intensified, and they dared to conduct ultra-low-altitude reconnaissance in broad daylight, so I ordered the air defense units to teach the little devils a lesson, and as a result, the first and third air defense brigades laid down 12 reconnaissance planes of the little devils in one day.

"However, the little devil's reconnaissance plane didn't dare to come, but in the coastal waters of Fujian, it found a large number of Japanese warships, which should be the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy.

Tang Qiuli shook his head, denied Feng Jiwu's idea, and then said, "Jiwu, the Japanese warships don't have to pay attention to him, in this way, the troops are in the coastal area of Fujian, conducting large-scale training, to create a momentum, so that the Japanese army on the opposite side is nervous and scared, the main force of your corps will have to be transferred to other battlefields sooner or later, one Fujian, can not involve too many of our troops." ”

On 15 April, Tang Qiuli, in the name of the director of the former enemy command post of the Central Military Commission, issued an order to He Ying's Tǐng Division of the Sixth Group Army, Liu Zhenbang's Division of the Eighth Group Army, Wang Fulin's Division of the Eleventh Army, and Wu Shifu's Division of the 27th Army, which were gathered in Sichuan, ordering the above-mentioned troops to immediately move south by two routes, and that He Ying's Tǐng Division and Wang Fulin's Division would be stationed in the Guinan area of Guangxi, and would deploy defenses along the line of Qinzhou, Fangchenggang, and Beihai to assist the 19th and 36th armies of the Gui Army in defending the southern coast of Guinan.

At the same time, they telegraphed the 53rd Army of the Yu Han Command in Guangdong and the 7th Brigade of the Guangzhou Garrison to immediately go to the southwestern region of Guangdong to form a horn with the troops of the Central Army and deploy defenses along the coast of Guangdong.

When the order was issued, the reaction of the Central Army and the various units of the Liangguang Army was beyond Tang Qiuli's expectations, and it also made him hate in his heart.
