Chapter 703: High-profile southbound
Chapter 703 High-profile southbound
In order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Tang Qiuli specially convened an operational meeting to adjust the deployment, and Yu Deshui, director of the intelligence department, sent a top-secret piece of information, which was an important information collected by the intelligence department of the independent division at the intelligence station in Nanjing.
The content of the information made Tang Qiuli angry and extremely uneasy and worried, from this information, at least it can be deduced... The conclusions are: First, the Japanese have changed their attitude toward Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, focusing mainly on military strikes and changing to focusing on inducements; second, Nanjing has formed a small circle that opposes them, and the activity energy of this circle is not small; third, Chairman Chiang already knows that the Japanese envoy has arrived in Nanjing, but he has not yet expressed his position.
This point is what Tang Qiuli is most worried about, the Japanese army suffered defeats in North China, coupled with the three defeats in the Songhu battlefield, the loss of nearly one million troops, and it is no longer able to use troops against China on the two fronts in the north and south at the same time, and the choice of this time to send a special envoy to Nanjing shows that the Japanese government and the opposition have regarded themselves as the number one enemy, made peace with the old man, and freed up their hands to deal with themselves with all their might, then their situation will be even more difficult, after all, it is a corner of North China, dealing with the whole of Japan, and the military and economic strength is superior. We can only take a defensive position, and it is not necessarily known whether we can maintain the current situation in North China.
This is a typical trick to break through, with Chairman Chiang's scheming and shrewdness, he will not be able to see it? Moreover, Dai Li's Military Command Bureau is not a dry meal, and the Japanese envoy jumps up and down in Nanjing, and has frequent contact with the senior members of the military commission of the national government, will he not know? There is a small clique in Nanjing that opposes itself and must bring itself down or make a stink, and the old man is not clear in his heart?
All the answers are no, the old man knows everything, but he does not express his position, he is repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, watching, waiting, looking at the direction of the wind, waiting for opportunities, the worst thing is that the old man allowed the Japanese envoys to carry out activities in Nanjing, without restrictions, and allowed those who oppose him, jumping up and down neither to advocate nor stop, which in itself shows a problem, the old man has regarded himself as an even more terrible opponent than the Japanese.
Considering the use of the hands of the Japanese, their own power is consumed, it is best to fight to the death with the Japanese, fight for both sides, he takes advantage of the fisherman, that is, relieves the external worries, but also solves the internal troubles, but this strategy of killing two birds with one stone, the risk is too great, and if it is not done well, it will lose the old man's own family fund, so that the Japanese take a big advantage.
Tang Qiuli could even imagine that during this period of time, Chairman Jiang did not know how many senior staff members and think tanks had consulted, and it was because the matter was too huge to set the tone, so he had Chairman Jiang's ambiguous attitude today, and he didn't even have a bitter smile, and the feeling of being targeted by the Japanese and the old man was really unpleasant and terrifying.
The quiet atmosphere in the conference room made Tang Qiuli very uncomfortable, he broke free from the emotions brought by the intelligence, and smiled at everyone casually, the military meeting was nearing the end, the generals were very strange about the division commander's expression just now, some brains or people who have been in the sea for a long time, instinctively felt that the telegram sent by Yu Deshui was not simple, including the president of the Dingbian Military Academy, the current commander of the cadet brigade of the Dingbian Military Academy, General Jiang Baili, the former deputy commander of the 29th Army, General Feng Zhi'an, chairman of the Dingbian Martyrs Cemetery Management Committee, saw that the division commander did not say anything, so he had to return to his respective units with doubts and adjust the deployment of troops in accordance with the requirements of the meeting.
Tang Qiuli returned to the resting place, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were taken aback when they saw his face, and turned their searching eyes on him, Tang Qiuli shook his head and didn't say anything, the Mei sisters were even more worried, the carefully prepared dinner, when it came to his mouth, it tasted like chewing wax, he didn't know what it was like at all, his mind was full of information content, his heart was messy, and he couldn't figure it out.
After hastily eating dinner, he walked out of the house, with a few guards, to the high post outside the city of Taiyuan, Taiyuan City at night, as silent as death, only a few dazzling searchlights, constantly swaying, the bright lights, cast the infinite wilderness outside the city, it is already the weather in early June, the evening breeze of the land of North China, with the breath of early spring, occasionally there is the fragrance of new green and refreshing breath, with the slight smell of the earth, blowing in the face.
This qiē seems to have nothing to do with Tang Qiuli, he knows that in this seemingly quiet spring night, in distant Nanjing, I don't know how many conspiracies are being staged, that is, in the peach-ripe Taiyuan city in front of him, there are still tens of thousands of beasts, staring at the desperate fierce eyes, doing a dying struggle.
In the soft evening breeze, standing for a while, it seems that he has sorted out some clues, there is no suspense in Taiyuan, as long as he blows hard, it is only a matter of time to conquer, what worries him the most is the one that happened in Nanjing, if Chairman Jiang and the Japanese reach an agreement, for themselves, it is tantamount to a catastrophe, anger, full of Tang Qiuli's heart, there is a feeling of betrayal, clenched fists, nails pierced deep into the flesh, the guards around him, silently listening to the heavy breathing of the division commander, You can feel the anger that he is about to explode.
The pain cleared his mind, at this moment, he had already made up his mind that he must go to Nanjing in person, in order to stop or destroy the conspiracy of the Japanese, break Chairman Chiang's wishful thinking, and get the best result for himself, of course he knew the risks, Chairman Chiang acquiesced to the activities of the Japanese envoys in Nanjing, and if he went, he was afraid that he would throw himself into the net, Zhang Hanqing's example was there, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed him in the independent division, in order to drive the little devils out of China, for the ideals in his heart, Even if Nanjing is the tiger's den in Longtan, it must break through.
Now that he has made a decision, his heart is much more relaxed, back to the headquarters, he ordered the correspondent, to invite General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhi'an, there are some things to explain, in case he doesn't come back, the old people around him are only the two of them, and after a while, the sound of hurried footsteps outside came, and the two energetic old generals walked in with each other.
Tang Qiuli was not polite, briefly introduced the content of the information, and told them their own decision, Jiang Baili and Feng Zhi'an listened, did not speak, in the room, there was an unbearable silence, Jiang Baili glanced at Feng Zhi'an, and said in a gentle and slightly Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "Division Commander, I don't approve of you going to Nanjing, judging from the content of the intelligence, Nanjing is already a dangerous place, and those people have already regarded you as an object that must be eradicated. How about Zhang Hanqing, it's not that he is under house arrest," Feng Zhi'an nodded approvingly.
Tang Qiuli said his thoughts and the reason why he had to go in detail, the two were silent for a long time, and when they saw that they could not stop it, they turned to discuss specific methods, Taiyuan according to the original plan, the time and plan of the general attack remained unchanged, after conquering Taiyuan, he immediately waved his troops into the Pingjin area, issued an order in the name of the division commander, and handed over the command of the attack Taiyuan troops to General Jiang Baili and General Feng Zhi'an during his own trip to Nanjing, and the two served as the chief and deputy commanders respectively, and were fully responsible for the military operation of attacking Taiyuan.
Sending the two away, Tang Qiuli immediately issued an order, Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment immediately handed over the task of eliminating the Japanese army in northern Jin to the field troops, and the whole detachment immediately dived into Nanjing as quickly as possible, and then, Shen Jun, Yu Deshui, and Shanhu were called in and assigned tasks, all the agents of Shen Jun's investigation department, and all the agents of Yu Deshui's intelligence office immediately entered Nanjing, and the Nanjing intelligence station of the intelligence department was responsible for receiving the personnel who arrived in advance, and Yu Deshui was responsible for coordinating in the center.
The guard brigade of the mountain tigers, except for the special guards to protect them, the rest of the troops entered Nanjing in a high-profile manner, as the advance force of the vice chairman, all the personnel of various systems who secretly entered Nanjing, had only one task, to catch the Japanese envoy Tanaka Hongichi, and the high-ranking officials and senior officials who had contact with him in the national government, no matter which one they were, they should be controlled in their hands first, and no matter what method was used, they would definitely be alive if they took out useful things from their mouths.
A few people went separately to prepare, Tang Qiuli called in the director of communications, Chen Feng, and asked him to use various means to let the major newspapers in Nanjing and the whole country learn about the news, the larger the scope, the better, Tang Qiuli took both light and dark hands, grabbed evidence here, and went to Nanjing in a high-profile manner over there, how many pairs of eyes were watching his every move, the old man wanted to do it, and he had to consider the consequences, plus there were hundreds of thousands of troops as the backing, and he would not dare to do this in this situation. At this time, he had to weigh the weight of his own actions, Tang Qiuli was not Zhang Xueliang.
Perhaps, from this moment on, there has been an irreparable rift between Tang Qiuli and Chairman Jiang, and they are destined to part ways.
He also informed the commanders of the corps that he was going to Nanjing, so as not to worry about them, after finishing these, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, with a complicated mood, he returned to the resting place, and saw from a distance, the flickering lights in the room, the two beautiful silhouettes on the window, Mei Ting and Mei Xue had not slept yet, waiting for themselves, Tang Qiuli's heart rippled with warmth.
He didn't go in immediately, but stayed outside the window, carefully appreciating, the breeze of the spring night, from time to time to lift the corners of his clothes, such a tranquility and peace, it seems that he has not felt it for a long time, in Taiyuan City, from time to time there was a faint burst of gunshots, but the night was more silent.
Several guards glanced at each other, the division commander tonight behaved strangely, but what Tang Qiuli was thinking about was how to persuade Mei Ting and Mei Xue not to go to Nanjing this time.
