Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 382: Chairman Chiang’s Call

Tang Qiuli didn't know how sad and helpless He Yingqin was, how much he hated himself, and he didn't want to know that by being able to remove He Yingqin, the leader of the pro-Japanese faction who was flirting with the Japanese and flirting with the Japanese, Tang Qiuli had achieved his goal.

Otherwise, Tang Qiuli would always be uneasy. The opponent in open fire fighting is not scary, but the villain who stabs you in the back is the most dangerous. Because of He Yingqin's position in the government, when he and the Japanese are fighting at a critical juncture, he will give you a blow from behind, and his head will fall off.

It was too late to cry out for injustice.

Moreover, the related effect is that one thing goes down and the other goes up. Without He Yingqin as the pro-Japanese banner, other pro-Japanese factions gathered under his banner have lost the ability to make noise and cannot make big waves.

It eliminated noise and prevented Chairman Chiang from being hesitant and hesitant about dealing with the Japanese.

The Xi'an Incident lasted for more than half a month. During the incident, everyone's performance, through various channels, was deeply felt in Chairman Chiang's heart.

What will follow will be personnel changes at the top levels of the National Government, internal purges, some people will be dismissed, some will be promoted, some will fade out of sight, and some will have a more stable status. This is also the meaning of the title.

Just thinking about the future endings of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel sad. There was nothing he could do about this matter. Is this the so-called destiny?

Tang Qiuli pounced on the 300,000 troops of the Central Army. The Northwest Suppression General had not yet been cancelled. Commander-in-chief Jiang Zhongzheng returned to Nanjing. Another deputy commander-in-chief Chen Cheng was promoted to take over the post of Minister of Military and Political Affairs from He Yingqin and became

Another prominent figure in the military circles of the Nationalist Government.

The Military Commission of the Nationalist Government did not order Tang Qiuli to leave Luoyang, nor did he plan to send another general. Therefore, the 300,000 troops of the Central Army were still under his jurisdiction.

Chairman Chiang became the boss, which really worried him. Three hundred thousand people gathered in the area around Luoyang. Just feeding people and horses was an astonishing number every day. Henan Province could not afford it at all.

rise.

What's more, at that time, the Central Army's logistics system was extremely primitive. All kinds of supplies relied on people and horses, and military production was concentrated in other provinces far away from Henan. With nearly a thousand miles of transportation lines, there were so many mouths waiting for food and drink.

Qiu Li felt that he was a food and grass officer, the steward of the three hundred thousand Central Army.

It was already a severe winter, and some troops were not equipped with winter clothes. The telegrams Tang Qiuli sent to the Military Committee every day were all reminders for food, payment, and supplies. There were also 140,000 soldiers in the army.

, Tang Qiuli has never worried about this.

Only now did he know how tiring and tedious the work done by Zhang Quan and Zhou Yushan was. Fortunately, all the departments in the government paid for him, a former celebrity of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and things went smoothly.

These 300,000 people have food, drink and cotton-padded clothes to wear.

After the rebellion of the 106th Division was resolved, internal rectification was carried out to uproot He Yuquan's influence. Those who should be shot were shot, those who should be expelled from the military were expelled, and those who should be sent to military courts were not lenient.

Subsequently, Tang Qiuli appointed the former deputy division commander as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Campaign and formally assumed the position of commander of the 106th Division. He notified the entire army of the reasons for his promotion, which also helped him quickly put down the internal rebellion and gain control.

An affirmation of the situation.

Such a normal appointment by Tang Qiuli resulted in the division commander's desperate service. In the subsequent Battle of Niangziguan, the 106th Division devoted all its strength to attack the Japanese army at the most critical moment and rescue the Japanese division.

Most of the casualties were suffered, and the commander of the division was seriously injured, but he refused to retreat. In the end, the ** division completely annihilated the Banyuan Division and won a powerful opportunity, which Tang Qiuli did not expect.

Now, the biggest problem facing Tang Qiuli is military discipline. An army can do everything well, but don't let him be idle. Once he is idle, these energetic military men will always find some trouble to cause trouble.

There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Among the 300,000 people, there are many who want to stand out. This is not equivalent to the army of the First Division. Because of the different concepts of army building, Tang Qiuli had to draw a large number of elites from various armies.

Soldiers, forming a military law division of more than 5,000 people.

We caught hundreds of examples of people who were extremely indignant and had extremely bad influence, publicly executed them, and replaced a group of officers who did not restrain their subordinates, or even indulged their subordinates, had roots and connections, and had people in the government. The military discipline of the Central Army was

Fundamental changes have been made.

At this time, the 300,000 Central Army officers, from officers to ordinary soldiers, all saw the iron fist of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang. Coupled with the shooting of He Yingqin's nephew, officers at all levels were cautious, fearing that Tang Qiuli would take advantage of him.

Lost the typical example and lost his head.

Tang Qiuli's military orders were passed unimpeded. Later, he personally wrote the training outline, conducted targeted training based on the characteristics of the Central Army units, and worked tirelessly to travel to various units to check the training effects.

With the deputy commander-in-chief personally supervising and inspecting, would the commander of that unit dare to neglect his duties or slack off even a little bit without fear of losing his head? Tang Qiuli fully believed that in one year's time, the 300,000 Central Army troops would

You can do the same thing as the troops of the ** division, with an arm in command and command freely.

Then, strategic adjustments were made to the troops concentrated in Luoyang. Four regional theater headquarters were formed at the junction of Shanxi-Henan and Hebei-Henan and on the Henan side, with Sanmenxia, ​​Jiyuan, Jiaozuo, and Anyang as strategic garrison locations.

, all regional theaters support each other.

This is also the foreshadowing laid by Tang Qiuli. Focusing on the major battles that are about to take place in the North China battlefield, the troops in various garrison areas can quickly join the major battlefields in Shanxi and Hebei at the shortest distance and fastest speed. This is

Once the four fists he hid behind him were suddenly released, the Japanese troops in North China would die in an ugly way.

After this garrison plan was reported to the Military Commission, it was quickly approved, and brought a commendation order from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in recognition of his remarkable achievements while commanding the Northwest Suppression Force.

Tang Qiuli sometimes felt puzzled that the old man was so confident in handing over his family fortune to me, and ignored me and let me do whatever I wanted. Then I thought about it, maybe this is the old man's way of employing people.

Not mobilizing these 300,000 troops before July 1937 would be the greatest reward for yourself.

When Tang Qiuli focused all his energy on the Central Army, the situation in the Pingjin area in North China was relatively stable. The Japanese army made no major moves and was in a confrontation with the ** Division and the 29th Army. Liu

The veteran Tiehan and Feng Jiwu were stationed in Pingjin, so Tang Qiuli could stay in Luoyang with peace of mind. What's more, the ** division's southward troops had all returned to the original defense areas around Pingjin.

There was just one situation that caused him to be highly alert. Liu Tiehan's daily enemy situation reports contained news of the Japanese army increasing its troops in North China. As of now, the number of Japanese troops in North China has reached 380,000.

.

There are various signs that 1937 was the year when the Japanese were preparing to take action. The Xi'an Incident was peacefully resolved, the Chinese civil war that the Japanese expected did not start, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party stopped fighting, and there was a tendency to unite.

The Japanese's idea of ​​reaping the benefits failed, so they went into battle bare-chested and accelerated the pace of their all-out invasion of China. They assembled heavy troops in North China to form local superior forces and completely defeated the war in the north. After that, they quickly moved south and occupied all of China.

However, Tang Qiuli also prepared several feasts for the Japanese. If the situation continues to develop as it is now, the Japanese army in North China will not be completely annihilated in North China, let alone go south. It will be protected by the soul of their bullshit emperor.

.

On January 14, 1937, as the Spring Festival was approaching, Tang Qiuli was holding a military meeting at the Northwest Suppression Headquarters in Luoyang to review the training results of the troops in the recent period and the deficiencies discovered.

The communications staff officer hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram to Mei Ting, who was attending the meeting. After reading the telegram, Mei Ting's beautiful eyebrows raised in surprise. She looked up at Tang Qiuli on the rostrum, who was implementing the items one by one.

reaction situation.

Taking advantage of Tang Qiuli's speech, Mei Ting handed over the telegram. Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting were equally surprised. The telegram was as follows: "General Tang Qiuli, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northwest Campaign, returned to Nanjing immediately after receiving the telegram. Committee member

The commander personally summoned me. The special plane is already on its way to Luoyang. There is no need to relinquish my current position. I hope it will be properly arranged. The signature is the General Office of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government."

What big thing happened in Nanjing, and the old man called him back urgently? This was Tang Qiuli's first thought. There was no need to resign, and he was still in charge of these 300,000 people. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd? To be honest, these 300,000 people were still in charge of him.

The army has made me worry so much. The past twenty days in Luoyang have been more tiring than the two years in the Army.

On the plane, Mei Ting seemed very worried. Chairman Chiang suddenly summoned Qiu Li to Nanjing without any warning in advance. Whether it was a blessing or a disaster, there was no way of guessing. She could only rely on Tang Qiuli's shoulder.

Before boarding the plane, Tang Qiuli hurriedly arranged the next training plan for the troops. Generals at all levels felt relieved to see that this living king of hell had left temporarily. They had not been forced to death in the past twenty days.

He is already in his forties or fifties, and he still participates in training like ordinary soldiers. He sleepwalks every day, and his beloved wife beside him has been neglected for many days.

There was no way, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang participated in the training, and he even created a general training brigade ingeniously. He served as the brigade leader. Every day before dawn, the deadly whistle was blown all over the corridor. First, there was a three-kilometer cross-country trip, and then there was

Thirty push-ups and then breakfast.

At the end of the day, my back is sore and all the bones in my body are about to fall apart. Although you, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tang, are following the training and taking the initiative to increase the amount of training, how old are you? Can you compare with me?

Not to mention, my body has become stronger and my appetite has increased. I can eat four big steamed buns in one meal. I never dared to think about it before. I guess now I can run dozens of miles in one breath. It will be no problem.

.

Just not allowed to go home. In the past few days, the fire in my heart has been burning. The snow-white body of my beloved wife is always dangling in front of my eyes. Fortunately, before Tang Yan Wang left, he gave the general training brigade two days off. Today

At night, my beloved wife will beg for mercy again and again and regain her long-lost manly glory!
