Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 219: Wait and see the situation

Tang Qiuli's troops stationed in Shanhaiguan formed a great advantage in the strategic situation. When advancing, they could directly point to the land of eastern Hebei and the outskirts of Pingjin. When retreating, they could return to the northeast. They repeatedly competed with the Japanese army for strategic points along the line from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, killing and injuring them.

Its effective forces can go north to deal with the Kwantung Army in places such as the Chahar Grassland and Rehe, creating a huge space for maneuver.

In addition, you can wait and see the movements of the Japanese troops in North China and the reaction of the powerful local forces in North China. It would be better if the main force of the Japs chasing them follows, and you can take advantage of the trend and move south. If the Kwantung Army troops follow and enter the pass, the overall strategic layout of the Japanese base camp will be disrupted.

chaos.

When Japan is not fully ready for an all-out war with China, the Kwantung Army's massive incursion into the country may stimulate Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, arouse heightened alertness to the Japanese government's ambitions, strengthen North China's defense forces, and save the province.

Fighting desperately with the Red Army may prevent the "July 7" Incident from happening.

If the direction of history really changes like his best wishes, it will definitely be a great blessing for the Chinese nation, saving the land of China from eight years of bitter war and the destruction of all living beings. He actually hopes that the main force of the Kwantung Army will advance.

Shanhaiguan.

During the few days that the troops stayed, Nanjiro's Kwantung Army Mobile Encirclement and Suppression Corps continued to advance towards Jinzhou. The Japs from North China still showed no signs of being mobilized. They seemed to have no intention of retaking Shanhaiguan, except for the constant presence of Japanese aircraft over Shanhaiguan.

Patronage, everything else, appears calm.

On the other hand, Yin Rugeng's security forces seemed to be very active. 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, leaving behind only a pile of corpses.

Outside, nothing was caught, because the troops had not received combat orders and were in a defensive posture, and Yin Rugeng's security forces showed no signs of withdrawing.

Tang Qiuli spread the special operations units to most areas of Hebei, mainly to monitor the movements of the Japanese army in North China. He always suspected that the Japanese army had a bigger conspiracy, that is, to use the two major military groups of the North China and Kwantung Army to take measures against him.

The strategy of encircling the north and the south and gathering them together to annihilate them. The Japanese in North China did not move and were waiting for the troops of the Kwantung Army.

As for the Yin Rugeng Security Corps in front of him, with more than 10,000 people, they cannot stop him. As long as the Kwantung Army's mobile troops arrive in Jinzhou, his next attack direction will be clear, and he will be able to confirm his guess.

However, nothing matters. The troops can turn to the northwest and contain most of the Japanese troops in North China and Northeast China in the Chahar and Rehe areas. Liu Tiehan can take the opportunity to attack the Japanese troops in North China at Huangyadong in the Taihang Mountains.

The garrison troops, the military key points in the Pingjin area, and the Rehe area were all eradicated to see what else the Japanese would use to launch the "July 7th" Incident.

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

When the Kwantung Army passed through Jinzhou, went to Huludao, Xingcheng, crossed the Liugu River, and entered Suizhong, the Japanese stopped and recruited a large number of civilians, who were busy building various fortifications and did not advance any further.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, feeling vaguely disappointed. His attempt to introduce the Japanese from the Northeast into North China and stimulate Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing failed. The Japanese base camp guessed his intentions and refused to fight for a tens of thousands of people against the Japanese.

troops, change their overall strategic layout, and remain unchanged in their original plan to invade China?

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

.

Since this hard-core traitor wanted to be beaten, he would not be polite to him. Tang Qiuli formulated a combat plan against the Yin Rugeng Security Corps. The core gist was to annihilate them all.

Tang Qiuli was filled with disgust and hatred for Yin Rugeng. With the support of the Japanese, this hard-core traitor acted as a traitor under the guise of being a traitor. His puppet regime ended on November 1, 1935.

It was established on the 25th of August 2016. It was originally the Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Committee, with Tongzhou as the seat of government, and it governed an area of ​​about 8,200 square kilometers.

Tang Qiuli has always been surprised that Chairman Chiang in Nanjing could tolerate this big traitor and bite off such a huge piece of fat in eastern Hebei, which deprived the Nationalist government of a natural defensive outpost and buffer zone to prevent the Japanese invasion of the northeast from the south.

, which also enabled the Japanese armies in Northeast China and North China to echo each other, connect them as one, and help each other.

If it is said that by abandoning the Northeast, Chairman Chiang would weaken Zhang Xueliang's strength, it would make some sense. However, there is no military group or local powerful faction in North China that can threaten Chairman Chiang's central position. This is not like Shanxi, where

There was a Tu emperor, Yan Xishan, who managed Shanxi's business as if it were an iron bucket, and a needle could not be inserted into it.

In his previous life, Tang Qiuli was puzzled every time he saw this period of history. Now, in this era, he still feels puzzled. He really can't guess who Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of the Nanjing Government is.

What are your thoughts and what perspective do you consider the problem from?

The combat plan was distributed to all units by Feng Jiwu and Zhao Yuhe. Just the day before the troops were to take action, they suddenly received a report from the frontline troops, saying that the Nanjing National Government had sent representatives with important documents and requests to communicate with the commander.

meet.

In an antique courtyard in Shanhaiguan City, Tang Qiuli and members of the headquarters met with state government representatives. There were three of them. What surprised Tang Qiuli was that one of the representatives turned out to be the Tianjin Station of the Military Unification Bureau.

Long, my old acquaintance Liu Chengwan and Liu Da

Brother, Tang Qiuli has always respected this man in his heart. Unlike those who work as secret agents, this man always has an indescribable smell about him, which makes people have to be wary. At the very least,

, the friendship with me is sincere and it helps me a lot.

As soon as the two met, their sincere enthusiasm made the other two representatives of the government dumbfounded and almost fell into disbelief. They secretly admired the people in the Military Command Bureau for their magical powers, and this man who was hated by the Japanese.

, but he has long been associated with Xueshou Qiuli, who is highly valued by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

Judging from the intimacy between the two of them, their relationship must be unusual. No wonder we were still confused when Liu Chengwan was sent as the representative! Why would a big spy get involved in this matter? It turns out that the higher-ups had already thought about it and had him

, the safety factor is much higher when dealing with this bloody-handed Qiuli who kills Japanese without blinking an eye.

Liu Chengwan's face was flushed. It seemed that he had been doing well recently. With a proud expression on his face, he introduced two other government representatives to Tang Qiuli. One was Qin Yude, deputy secretary-general of the Nanjing Executive Yuan;

One is Wang Rushan, the secretary-general of Song Zheyuan, chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee. He has a lot of background. Everyone from the central government to local powerful groups and intelligence agencies are involved.

These three representatives came with only one purpose, which was to deliver a personal letter from Chairman Chiang. In the letter, Chairman Chiang praised Tang Qiuli's achievements in the Northeast over the past few years and called him a national elite and a leader of the country.

talent.

Of course, Tang Qiuli understood that Chairman Chiang was not an easy person to get along with. In the past few years in the Northeast, he had beaten the Kwantung Army to a bloody head and lost troops and generals. This had attracted the attention of the Japanese government to the Northeast, which greatly alleviated the problem.

Chairman Chiang

, the military and political pressure in North China continued, and the fight with the Kwantung Army continued in the Northeast. The Japanese army in North China rarely made small moves, and Chairman Chiang had fewer headaches. He could concentrate on dealing with Zhu Mao's Red Army.

.

After praising himself profusely, he also expressed tactfully that because of the opposition of many big figures in the government, saying that his origins were unknown and he had deep grudges with the Japanese, he was afraid that being granted a high position would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Japanese and in turn provoke the dissatisfaction of the Chinese.

The dispute between Japan and Japan is not beautiful. Wait, in a word, he, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, is also in a difficult situation. I hope Tang Qiuli will understand his difficulties.

The organization and designation of a group army that we originally planned to agree to were difficult to implement. We could only give the designation of one division. As for the organization, we did not mention it. There was still a lot of room for it. Chairman Chiang probably knew the number of soldiers under his command.

If we don't impose a rigid limit on the number of personnel, wouldn't it mean that we are forcing ourselves to reduce our troops? How could Chairman Chiang, who was proficient in maneuvering and strategizing, make such a low-level mistake?

The designation given is the newly formed North China Division of the Nationalist Army. The division is divided into brigades and regiments. As for how to set it up, it is up to Tang Qiuli to decide on his own and just report it to the Ministry of Military Affairs for filing. The division is militarily governed by Nanjing.

It was under the direct jurisdiction of the Military and Administrative Department of the Nationalist Government. In view of the current situation, it was transferred to the control of the 29th Army.

The commander of the ** Division, Tang Qiuli, has the rank of lieutenant general, the brigade commander has the rank of major general, and the regiment commander has the rank of colonel. The other officers at all levels are awarded corresponding military ranks according to the positions they hold. Tang Qiuli and his brigades and regiments

The letter of appointment as an officer-level officer is issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs and carried by Qin Yude, deputy secretary-general of the Executive Yuan, who presides over the conferment ceremony on behalf of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

At the end of the letter, Chairman Chiang proposed that after a short-term rest and recuperation in North China, the *** division would go to Shaanxi to fight the Red Army on the front line, and cooperate with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to eliminate the remnants of Zhu Mao's Red Army that had fled to northern Shaanxi and make new contributions to the party and the country.

After reading this dizzyingly long letter, Tang Qiuli understood what Chairman Chiang meant. The last few sentences in the whole text are the real drama and Chairman Chiang’s true intention. The previous content

, it’s all flowers and applause, and it’s also a necessary bargaining chip in exchange for your own troops to go to the front line of northern Shaanxi to suppress the Communists. The reason why it is proposed, not an order, contains the meaning of testing to see if this newly recruited armed force can listen.

The words of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

Tang Qiuli truly admired Chairman Chiang's political skills and scheming skills. In one letter, he fully displayed all the methods of a politician.

The three representatives of the government, holding tea in their hands, looked at the young man's expressionless expression. They could not guess his inner activities and changes. They speculated on Tang Qiuli's thoughts based on their own understanding. The room was extremely quiet.
