Chapter 396: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
This was just a good wish, and it was already April 1937, and the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area were unusually moving, and various military exercises were frequently held, and all kinds of signs indicated that the Japanese army would inevitably move in the Pingjin area in the 37 years. ####
Seeing Tang Qiu's busy day and night, people were a lot haggard, Mei Ting saw it in her eyes, and felt pain in her heart, in addition to cooking all kinds of nourishing meals every day, fulfilling the responsibility of a wife, and taking the initiative to take on some work within her ability.
To reduce the burden on her husband, and to deal with some things, put forward his own opinions and suggestions, sometimes, Tang Qiu left and joked that he was marrying a wife, he was simply marrying half of the chief of staff, and he couldn't help but not be busy, Tang Qiu was away from his current family.
The troops under Tang Qiuli's current command are composed of five parts: about 150,000 troops from the North China Independent Division, about 50,000 troops from the 29th Army, 200,000 troops from the Central Army system, about 140,000 troops under the Northeast Tǐng Advance Headquarters of the Independent Division reorganized from the former Northeast Army, and more than 54,000 troops from the Shaanxi Provincial Local Garrison Brigade and the Yellow River River Defense Brigade reorganized from the former 17th Route Army.
All in all, there are 600,000 troops directly under the Yellow River Valley Theater Command Headquarters, not counting the Jin army of Yan Xishan in Shanxi and the Lu army of Han Fuyu in Shandong.
Tang Qiuli looked at the troop statistics table in a daze, this number startled himself, so many mouths, just eating is a big problem, the 200,000 Central Army is okay to say, the national government is in charge of eating and drinking, and the rest of the troops have to take care of their own food, no wonder it is said that raising soldiers is equivalent to burning money, and it is difficult to raise soldiers without money.
This was enough for Zhang Quan, the head of the logistics department of the independent division, to be busy, and his right-hand man Zhou Yishan was transferred to block one side, and suddenly added so many mouths, and within a few days, Zhang Quan sent telegrams one after another to Tang Qiuli for help.
The logistics department of the independent division is now very busy, and one person can use it for three people, but it still can't be opened a little, and he asked the division commander to send more manpower to the logistics department, but there was no way, Tang Qiuli had to transfer a large number of officers from the logistics office of the Dingbian Garrison District Headquarters, which was not too busy with business, to strengthen the strength of the logistics department of the independent division. **
In the end, Tang Qiuli decided to set up the Yellow River Valley Theater Joint Logistics Command, which was responsible for the logistics supply and material transfer of all units directly under the theater, and Zhang Quan, director of the logistics department of the independent division, concurrently served as the commander of the Joint Service Command.
The letter of appointment reached the Huangya dòng base at once, and Zhang Quan was taken aback, good guy, the division commander was ruthless enough, and threw more than 600,000 people to eat, dress, and make guns to himself.
In addition, he also has a concern, in the past, it was all a matter of logistics for independent divisions, and the commanders of each brigade were old men for many years, so there were not so many picky, and now there are so many systems, and if you are a little negligent, there will be a big problem.
Zhang Quan tactfully submitted his resignation to the division commander and asked another senior person to serve as the commander of the Joint Service Command.
Soon, Tang Qiuli called back, and he had two paths to choose, one was to resign, immediately take off his military uniform, and return to the place to retire, and the other was to accept the position of commander of the Joint Service Command.
Zhang Quan was really reluctant to let the troops go, so he had no choice but to rush the ducks to the shelves, take up his post head-on, and set about setting up the command organ of the Joint Logistics Command.
After the Xi'an Incident, the Shen Ke Division of the 103rd Division of the former Northeast Army, the Tan Zixin Division of the 10th Cavalry Division, the Huang Yongan Division of the 6th Artillery Brigade, and the Qiao Fang Department of the 8th Artillery Brigade publicly issued a telegram announcing that they would break away from the Northeast Army system and sever relations with Zhang Xueliang. The telegram made Zhang Xueliang very sad, "Although the post belongs to the Northeast Army system, it is also a part of the National Revolutionary Army, and now Zhang Xueliang and others ignore the national law, and even do a great rebellion to detain the leader, as a revolutionary soldier, we categorically cannot join the same stream and attach the rebels, and we now announce that we will sever relations with the Northeast Army, return to the national political fǔ, and be willing to be the vanguard of the crusade against the rebellion." ”
It is said that after Zhang Xueliang watched the power-on, he was silent for a long time, and he did not expect that his old subordinates for many years, at this critical moment, chā made a knife himself, and Huang Yongan, the commander of the Sixth Artillery Brigade, was still vigorously promoted by himself, and at the beginning, he was just a battalion commander of xiǎoxiǎo.
These rebels originally hoped to gain a place in the Central Army system and complete the gorgeous transformation from miscellaneous to descendants, but the Central Army, especially Chairman Jiang, was deeply wary of the troops of the former Northeast Army, these people can betray Zhang Xueliang today, and they can betray me Jiang someone tomorrow, and they must not be reused! Prevent and prevent.
These people did not get the expected benefits, but sat on the cold bench, and saw that their original colleagues, since Vice Chairman Tang took over, have been transformed from rebels, but have become the descendants of the Central Army.
They sent telegrams to Tang Qiuli one after another, with only one meaning, that is, they wanted to return to the Northeast Army system, and Chairman Jiang also hoped that Tang Qiuli would take them back.
There was no way, Chairman Chiang had to transfer them to northern Jiangsu and eastern Anhui to garrison, however, the troops were all downsized, divisions were reduced to brigades, brigades were reduced to regiments, cavalry and artillery, all changed to infantry, horses and artillery, and handed over in a unified manner.
After the personnel arrangement, reorganization, and reorganization of the troops were completed, a period of adaptation training was carried out, and since the training of individual soldiers had already been completed in the previous stage, this stage was mainly carried out to cooperate with each other among various units and arms, that is, the combined training of the large corps.
The main purpose of the exercise was to test the troops' command and communications, coordination and cooperation, ability to advance, construction of fortifications in the field, running through attacks, logistics and supply, battlefield rescue, and field air defense.
For a time, in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Pingjin, thousands of troops and horses were in action, and various troops were frequently moved, which caused a high degree of tension among the Japanese.
The agents of the Japanese secret service dispatched their nests to find out whether the real purpose of this large-scale transfer of the squadron was whether it was aimed at the actions of the Japanese troops stationed in North China, which brought an opportunity to Shen Jun's independent division investigation office and the inspection department of the Pingjin Garrison Command.
Shen Jun joined forces with the intelligence department of Deshui, the intelligence and security department of the Huangya dòng base, and the secret service of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone to cast a big net, whether it is fish, shrimp, turtle or crab.
I don't know that the stupid tricks of the high-ranking general of the Japanese North China Garrison Army have violently exposed the intelligence network that the Japanese North China secret service has painstakingly operated for many years, and this action not only did not have the real intention of the squadron, but on the contrary, it caused irreparable damage to the intelligence network of the Japanese secret service.
Major General Matsui Taikuro, the head of the Japanese army's North China secret service, really couldn't stand the brain-dead orders of those laymen in the North China Garrison Army Headquarters, and his years of hard work were ruined in their hands, and every day he would receive reports that some agents had fallen into the hands of Shen Jun.
A letter of complaint was sent to the base camp of the Japanese army, and the base camp called back, at any cost, we must find out the real purpose of this large-scale transfer of the squadron, which is related to the next military action of the empire in China, and no matter how big the price is, it is worth it.
Matsui was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and those senior generals in the base camp were even more bastards and brain-dead, but they couldn't say anything, and they were depressed, and they even had the intention of committing suicide by caesarean section, and they always looked at their command knife blankly.
Shen Jun and Yu Deshui were excited, and they shot again and again, and they won a lot, but these are all secret battles and secret battles, which are not as magnificent as the battlefield of thousands of troops, but they are more dangerous.
In the process of encircling and suppressing Japanese agents, more than 100 people died in the intelligence system of the independent division, which became the greatest loss in the history of the intelligence system, but it cut off the hands and feet of the Japanese army, blinded their ears and eyes, and cleared the hidden dangers for the troops of the independent division to crisscross the battlefield in North China.
For this reason, Tang Qiuli issued a special order to commend the merits of the independent division's anti-special and intelligence systems, commend them for their meritorious deeds on the hidden front, and reward the anti-special forces and intelligence systems, Dayang 200,000 yuan, to improve the equipment of his own system, and the sacrificed intelligence personnel, especially gave a pension of 1,000 yuan per person.
Speaking of which, the purpose of Tang Qiuli's large-scale mobilization and training of troops was of course to hone the troops, after all, they belonged to a non-stop system, and when they started a war, mutual coordination, and the implementation of orders and prohibitions were a big problem.
The deeper meaning is that in order to attract the attention of the Japanese to the north, there is no time to worry about anything else, to ensure that half of the rivers and mountains south of the Yangtze River are temporarily free from the flames of war, and to win time for the national war of resistance, he did not forget the promise made to the military committee to those bigwigs of the government to ensure that the Japanese army will be entangled in the Yellow River valley for six months.
Now it seems that the goal has been achieved, and the Japanese troops in North China, including Northeast China, have entered a state of high tension, as if they are facing a great enemy, and this is called a plan to startle the snake in the 36 Plans, and it really worked, and the Japanese army urgently transferred the three first-class divisions and regiments that were originally to be deployed in the direction of Shanghai, totaling more than 100,000 troops, to the direction of North China, so as to increase the overall strength of the Japanese army there.
