Chapter 735: The decisive battle that arrived early

On his way back to the hotel after going to Chairman Chiang's family banquet, Tang Qiuli received two urgent telegrams from Chen Feng, director of the communications department, that the current fighting in Tianjin and Shanhaiguan was the most tense with Feng Jiwu's corps, which was responsible for blocking the southward movement of the Kwantung Army, and although it strengthened Sun Zhenbang's corps and the strength of the six newly formed brigades in Dingbian, it was still at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength in the Kwantung Army, especially when it came to being within the range of the Japanese naval guns, which was even more unfavorable to Feng Jiwu.

From this point of view, the Japanese base camp has pinned the battlefield of the decisive battle on the Shanhaiguan and Tianjin in eastern Hebei, hoping that this battle can wipe out most of the military strength of the fight, nearly one million Kwantung Army, all pressed to the Guannai, even if it is the current strength, it is unbearable, and the strategic concept of fighting also happens to be the main defense in the direction of Shanhaiguan and the main attack in the direction of Tianjin.

This is not a good thing, the Kwantung Army poured all its forces to attack, and the pressure on the fight was too great, Tang Qiu couldn't help but ask if the decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China was too hurried and insufficient in terms of strength and time, and the determination of the Kwantung Army to go south was underestimated, and the battle had reached this kind of stage, and it was impossible to stop.

If the defense line of Feng Jiwu's corps was broken through by the Kwantung Army, there were only two results, the 200,000 troops commanded by Feng Jiwu were annihilated, and the Kwantung Army moved south, and after attacking the flank of the Tianjin troops, the independent division was forced to retreat on all fronts, and the Tianjin Campaign was a pot of raw rice. The situation in North China retreated to the situation when Okamura Ninji launched an attack.

This is not the result that Tang Qiuli wants, he doesn't have time, spend more energy in North China, World War II, there is still more than a year to break out, how many things should be done, don't fight a stable rear in North China, talk about the follow-up battle plan, let it go, start a decisive battle with the Japanese army in North China, this day will come sooner or later, he immediately dictated the order: "1. The Huangyadong Air Defense Brigade that participated in the defense of Nanjing Air Defense Battle, immediately go north to Shanhaiguan, join Feng Jiwu's corps, and strengthen the air defense force, Specifically against the Kwantung Army Air Force. ”

"2. The troops of the 11 field brigades, six artillery brigades, six cavalry brigades, and two air defense brigades directly under the headquarters of the independent division will leave their current stations and immediately join the Shanhaiguan battlefield, and all the troops will be unified under the command of Feng Jiwu, resolutely block the southward troops of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and hand over the task of garrisoning the Shandong Peninsula to Li Honggang's 29th Corps and Han Tie's Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps."

"Third, Tang Qiusheng and Liu Tiehan commanded all the troops, stepped up the attack on Tianjin, and must capture Tianjin before the reinforcements from the Kwantung Army crossed the sea arrived, and after the Tianjin Campaign, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, Liu Tiehan's Dongzhi Army, and Changfeng's Taihang Mountain Field Corps immediately entered the Shanhaiguan line, and together with Feng Jiwu, waited for the opportunity to capture Jinzhou, opened the bridgehead into the northeast, and Le Yiqin's aviation team immediately joined the Shanhaiguan battlefield to carry out the combat mission of the Kwantung Army Air Force and the task of guarding Tianjin, Give it to Yuan Jinghao's corps. ”

"Fourth, Tang Qiuquan's special operations detachment immediately entered the territory of the Northeast with all its members, contacted the Northeast Anti-Coalition Army of the Chinese Communist Party, and wreaked havoc in the rear of the Kwantung Army, attacking the Kwantung Army's transportation and supply lines, with only one requirement, the more joyful and powerful the better, with the aim of containing and dispersing the Kwantung Army's forces."

Tang Qiu left his bloody capital, not only to block the footsteps of the Kwantung Army to the south, but also to capture the northeast town of Jinzhou, this is a timid person, it sounds like a trembling plan, the strength of the Kwantung Army, to exceed the entire strength of the independent division, can also mobilize troops from the Japanese mainland and the Korean Peninsula, a careless, almost all the strength of the independent division, will be trapped in the Shanhaiguan line, and the superior Japanese army to fight attrition, this is a desperate decision.

If the Japanese army attacks from other directions, Tang Qiuli will not be able to draw troops to meet the battle, however, he has not been crazy enough to lose his mind Cheng Dù, the troops of Li Honggang and Han Tie on the Shandong Peninsula are absolutely unable to move a single soldier, a total of more than 100,000 people, defending the huge Shandong, the army is already weak, and the Shandong Peninsula has places for the Japanese army to land everywhere, if the Japanese army base camp wants to turn the tide of the Pingjin Battle, carry out a landing operation on the Shandong Peninsula, and insert it into the Pingjin battlefield from behind, it is an excellent plan.

Tang Qiuli did not have the luxury of expecting the troops guarding Shandong to completely prevent the Japanese army from landing and fighting, he only hoped that the troops would delay the pace of the Japanese army's attack on Tianjin or Shanhaiguan as much as possible, and that they would be able to mobilize troops and deploy calmly.

Wuhan could not stay any longer, the troops of the independent division were fighting in North China, but the central officials in Wuhan were intriguing and calculating the interests of the fight, and the local powerful factions were busy drilling camps everywhere and forming gangs, all wanting to reap the benefits, and none of them were willing to suffer losses, and they were annoyed when they thought about it, and they had no heart to spend it here.

Tang Qiuli can be sure that the hotel where he stays must be a city, and the powerful factions in various places who come to get close, pull relations, and show goodwill will squeeze their heads, and who doesn't want to have a good relationship with the people in power who control the whole army after the power is reshuffled, and if they talk crookedly, they can get the weapons and equipment they dream of, as well as food and salary, and once the army is mobilized, they will show mercy to their subordinates, and they will not consume what little strength they have on the battlefield.

If you take this opportunity to sell at a price, will you be able to make a fortune and make a windfall? Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be moved, but thinking of the tense war in North China, and having to return to Tianjin immediately, it was really contradictory, he shook his head in the car, and the mountain tiger in the front row looked at him in wonder, but he didn't find that after such a while, Tang Qiuli's mind turned a lot of circles, and what he thought of was to make a windfall.

When I arrived at the door of the hotel, there was no expected busy traffic and crowded crowds, only three military jeeps and a black car, parked not far away, I couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly wondered, could it be that those local officials have changed to vegetarianism? Have you changed your mind and become a good person? It doesn't conform to the convention, and it doesn't conform to the consistent style and temperament of these guys.

With a stomach full of wonder, pushing open the door of the living room, Tang Qiu couldn't help but secretly complain, Wuhan seemed to be unable to leave, the new arrangement for the subordinates, the four beams and eight pillars of the camp, Chen Cheng, Wei Lihuang, Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Qun, like the four King Kongs, were sitting on the sofa in the living room, obviously waiting to call back, Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, Yang Ketian, the chief of staff, and Mei Xue, greeted and chatted with them.

A few people are obviously self-respecting, there are not many words, the scene seems a little cold, Tang Qiuli understands, there are these gods here, how dare those little ghosts come to the door, it's not that they are boring, when they saw Tang Qiuli coming in, several people immediately got up, except for Zhang Qun, all three of them stood up and saluted, and fulfilled the etiquette of their subordinates.

"Report to Vice Chairman Tang, the lowly rank and others came to receive the relevant orders of Director Tang on the preparation for the construction of the Nanjing camp, and also asked Director Tang to give instructions" Chen Cheng said on behalf of several people, although he was not tall, Chen Cheng exuded a fierce momentum and flexible eyes, showing that this person was shrewd, obviously not a character to be messed with, his demeanor was respectful and polite, but there was an indescribable and unclear taste in his bones, which made Tang Qiuli feel uncomfortable anyway.

The most wonderful thing is that Chen Cheng is in a few words, first the vice chairman, and then the director, the meaning of which is enough to make many people guess that for a few days, Wei Lihuang is the first time to meet, there is no friendship, and they don't understand each other, a group of soldiers, a long-standing demeanor, a solemn and respectful expression, with distance and coldness, and a trace of disapproval, obviously not very comfortable and reluctant to work under this young Director Tang.

Zhang Zhizhong is an old acquaintance, the two sides in the Songhu Campaign, there have been many cooperation, usually on the telegram close exchanges, greatly admired Tang Qiuli's military command and strategic vision, and the shape of the thorough grasp, the spark in his eyes flashed, revealing a mixture of joy and surprise, but also the feeling of reunion of old friends, among these four people, only Zhang Zhizhong is convinced, willing to work under the leadership of Tang Qiuli, and is also the only person who understands Tang Qiuli's almost ghostly talent.

Zhang Qun bowed slightly, the scale was just right, neither arrogant nor humble, on the outside, I couldn't see anything strange about this head of the New Political Science Department, a loyal face, premature gray hair, and a peaceful gaze, so that it seemed that this person had a chest, right? The city is approachable and very easy to get along with.

But Tang Qiuli is the most wary of this duke who seems to be loyal, and he can work under Chairman Jiang for decades, and the person who stands tall and is pampered, and specializes in handling difficult affairs for Chairman Jiang, is it ordinary, don't look at Zhang Qun as a human animal, right? The face of harm, if you use a trick, it will be even more ruthless, don't be careless, fall into this man's well and drown half to death.

After a simple greeting, they are all people who do big things, there are not so many politeness, they go straight to the point, they are the supreme commander of the camp, to paraphrase the words of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, they are the No. 1 leader, and if they don't come up with the charter, Chen Cheng and the others are not easy to do, to be honest, Tang Qiuli's mind really hasn't seriously considered the organizational structure of the former enemy commander's camp, and his mind is all on the war in North China.

If you don't come up with a routine, you will be despised by these few people, Zhang Zhizhong can still say, know the roots, the other three will not be easy to control in the future, Chen Cheng's request for instructions, it is clear that he is from the general, pretending to think, and filtering all the information about the military command organ in the later generations, and he already has an idea in his heart.
