Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 619: Ju Ye Riot

The tactics adopted by Qiuquan were very effective. The small team was followed by a large force, which surrounded the remaining bandits of Xu Sanguang's gang in the center of Julai Mountain, and finally wiped out the gang that had been harming the Taishan area in central Shandong for many years.

The peripheral troops also successively captured more than a thousand bandits trying to flee. As a result, the bandit suppression in central Shandong ended successfully.{}

Xu Sanguang's gang has become a historical term. The gang that posed the greatest threat to Jinan was finally destroyed, which also relieved Liu Tiehan's worries. He suppressed the bandit army in three ways and succeeded in two. Only Li Honggang had some troubles.

The Juye area in western Shandong is the area where Chen Tiannan, the anti-Japanese savior from Shandong, operates. Just because his team has the word "anti-Japanese" in it, we really can't treat him like we did to eliminate Liu Motou and Zheng Sanguang, just send troops to encircle and suppress him.

Li Honggang spent a lot of time thinking before leading his troops to set off.

Chen Tiannan's armed forces really deceived many people in the Juye area. He restrained his subordinates not to do anything that would endanger the people. In addition, he served as the regimental commander of Han Fuju's army, and he had a good military skills. The troops were on the ground in Shandong.

Although they are not the largest in number, their combat effectiveness is very strong, better than those pure bandits who make a living by robbing families and homes.

Of course, Chen Tiannan couldn't afford to raise so many soldiers. He organized a local self-government association in the Juye area to perform government functions, distribute food and collect money, collect taxes and rent, and was responsible for driving away outside bandits and protecting the safety of the area.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountain and eating the mountain, Chen Tiannan was like a local emperor in the Juye area, while Lunan acted like a country within a country.

Although he scratched the land very badly, he finally understood a little about how to release water to raise fish. From time to time, he would open warehouses to release grain, take charge of big-impact matters, and spend a few small sums of money to save the desperate people.

Although he was poor, he lived and worked in peace and contentment. At least there were no armed bandits coming to kill people or set fires. As a result, Chen Tiannan deceived many people in the western Shandong area and also won a good reputation.

Because of this, it is even more dangerous. Japan's North China Expeditionary Force Intelligence Headquarters has long been eyeing Chen Tiannan's armed forces. Compared with those professional bandits, Chen Tiannan's political leanings are more obvious. The Japanese military intelligence department has also stepped up its work to instigate rebellion against him. Finally,

Pull Chen Tiannan onto the Japanese tank.

Recently, through secret channels, the Japanese have replenished Chen Tiannan's team with a large amount of Japanese-style equipment, which greatly improved his armament and combat effectiveness. When Li Honggang led his troops to the Heze area in western Shandong, Chen Tiannan was very ambitious.

, hugging the thick Japanese legs, when you want to make great achievements.

The Japanese have promised him that once the imperial army captures Shandong, they will appoint him as the governor of Shandong Province and the commander of Shandong Security. This is a good thing that his family's ancestral graves are not covered by smoke. Chen Tiannan is actively training the troops and preparing to cooperate with the new Japanese army in North China.

During the offensive, when Chen Tiannan heard the news that the ** Division troops were stationed in the Heze area, he was first shocked and then relieved.

He thought to himself that there was no flaw in his usual dealings with the Japanese, and all the Japanese in his team were China experts. They usually appeared as Chinese, so the Japanese troops could not do anything to him.

, however, he still

He ordered the troops to strengthen their alert and sent a large number of spies to go deep into the surrounding area of ​​Heze to spy on the movements of Li Honggang's troops. He had already prepared for the worst. If necessary, he would engage in firefights with the troops of the Army Division and fight to the death. He could not be slaughtered by others.

.

After the troops stationed in Heze, the capital, they did not continue to advance. Li Honggang looked for opportunities to take action against this armed political force that claimed to be anti-Japanese but actually had close contacts with the Japanese. Not only did he want to annihilate Chen Tiannan's armed forces, he also wanted to expose them

For this reason, Li Honggang sent out all the special operations teams assigned to him. It would be best to capture a few Japanese who were around Chen Tiannan alive. After obtaining the evidence, Chen Tiannan would have nothing to say, and annihilating him would be enough.

There are sufficient reasons.

It is easy to issue orders, but difficult to execute them. The Japanese around Chen Tiannan all hold titles such as staff officers in his team. They live in seclusion and rarely show up. Several special operations teams lurked into Juye.

For several days, there was no chance, leaving Li Honggang at a loss.

Fighting forcefully, without sufficient reasons, will also arouse the opposition of the people in Lunan and lose the support of the people. The gains outweigh the losses. If we don't fight and let it get bigger, it will be a disaster sooner or later. The Japanese are active in his ranks, and the frontline troops

At a critical juncture in the fight with the Japanese army, Chen Tiannan's thousands of well-trained armed forces suddenly launched an attack, which was a disaster for all the troops of the Japanese Army in Shandong. Li Honggang thought about it for several days, but there was no good way.

He had no choice but to report the situation to the division commander Tang Qiuli at the Zhengzhou headquarters, explaining the current difficulties he was encountering. Tang Qiuli's reply was simple, just six words, "Exercise your authority." Li Honggang suddenly understood, yes, he is

The Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, officially appointed by the national government, and the Commander of the Shandong Garrison Area Command, appointed by the Yellow River Basin War Zone, have the final say in all military affairs in Shandong.

Once he opened his mind, Li Honggang quickly formulated a countermeasure. In the name of Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and Commander of the Shandong Garrison District, he sent an official document to Chen Tiannan, to the effect that at present, the war against Japan in the north was tense, and the Japanese troops were deployed in hundreds of troops in North China.

Wan, to my mountain

The East Tiger is eyeing the enemy and is threatening to invade. In order to implement Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's call to dedicate all the country's efforts to the nationwide resistance war, all local armed forces within the administrative jurisdiction of Shandong will be incorporated into the troops under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Garrison Command, with unified designations and implementation.

Unified command.

Civil affairs in various places were managed by officials appointed by the provincial government, unified taxation, and concentrated manpower, material and financial resources to prepare for the Japanese attack. Wherever official documents were received, they spontaneously armed themselves, immediately counted the number of people and weapons and equipment, registered them, and concentrated them in designated areas.

The location will be inspected by personnel sent by the Provincial Security Command.

At the end of the official document, it also limited the time limit and stated that if a certain local force refuses the inspection of the Provincial Security Command and the management of officials appointed by the provincial government, it will be regarded as violating the decree of the central government, and the provincial security area will send troops to

Forcibly confiscating weapons, disbanding the team, and holding the leading figures accountable. All consequences arising therefrom will be borne by the other party. Li Honggang knew that Chen Tiannan would never hand over his weapons, and forcing him to take action was one of his intentions.

This official document was very powerful, and it immediately pinched Chen Tiannan's heart. In the final analysis, he was a local force who took advantage of the chaos. He was not appointed by the government or any official. It was a spontaneous act.

"Shun", he is not a bandit who gathers in the mountains and forests, holding an open fire, so he can ignore some bullshit official documents.

After Li Honggang issued the official document, he stood still. He wanted to see how Chen Tiannan, a lurking traitor, dealt with his official document. As long as he moved, flaws would be exposed. As long as a few Japanese around him were captured alive, everything would be over.

The truth was revealed, and his veil of pretending to be anti-Japanese and being a real traitor was stripped away. Li Honggang secretly sighed, the teacher is really awesome, he has gained the upper hand with just one word. Now, it is Chen Tiannan's turn to have a headache.

Chen Tiannan really had a headache. It hurt so much that he wanted to kill someone or set a fire. He took the official document that he had read countless times and walked around in anger. What nonsense came out of nowhere. Chairman Li, Commander Li, this is not intentional.

Did he come by himself? But he couldn't find fault with his appearance. Chen Tiannan was really at a loss. But there was one thing. It was absolutely impossible for him to hand over his team. Without men and guns, how could he still survive?

?

His old commander Han Fuju and Chairman Han are an example. If the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands are still there, would Chiang Kai-shek dare to kill him? When the Japanese spies around him learned about this, they gathered around and discussed it together.

As a countermeasure, Chen Tiannan pinned all his hopes on these Japanese high-quality ginseng.

There is only one outcome of the discussion. You cannot sit idly by and wait for the people of the Army to deal with you. This official document is for you, the commander. Take action immediately to hold an armed riot around Juye, capture Jinan, and go to Cangzhou. Where?

With troops from the Imperial Japanese Army responding and pulling the team to Hebei, Chen Tiannan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to do so.

The Japanese agents reported the intelligence to the Expeditionary Forces Intelligence Headquarters, and soon received an order to agree to hold an armed riot in Juye, Lunan. You and others must fully assist Chen Tiannanjun in the success of the riot. At that time, the imperial army stationed in Cangzhou will respond accordingly.

The response operation was carried out, and Chen Tiannan's troops were awarded the designation of "Shandong Special Column of the Great Japanese North China Expeditionary Force".

This time, Chen Tiannan was determined to get on the Japanese chariot. His ambition to rule Shandong could only be realized through the Japanese. Neither the National Government nor Chiang Kai-shek could give him this. The highest military and political officer in the north, Tang

Not to mention Qiu Li, who came directly to kill him. Chen Tiannan's troops were sharpening their knives. One of them secretly went to Heze. Dayi between Juye and Longgu were on the front line, preparing to block the Japanese army's eastward march into Juye.

One unit secretly went to Pingyin and Feicheng areas, preparing to attack Jinan, open the passage north to Cangzhou, and mess up Tang Qiuli's rear in Shandong. This was the plan of Chen Tiannan's Japanese senior advisers. Logically speaking, Chen Tiannan's team

We should quickly leave the ground in Shandong and go to areas controlled by the Japanese army to avoid the fate of being surrounded and annihilated by the superior force of the Japanese Army. It is incredible that we have to attack Jinan.

In fact, the North China Expeditionary Army Intelligence Headquarters did not believe that Chen Tiannan could achieve anything great in Shandong with just a few thousand soldiers and guns. How about the more than one million imperial troops, they were still not under Tang Qiuli's hands.

Looking for bargains, since the value of continued use has been lost, the imperial army's investment in him must be recovered no matter what, and messing up Tang Qiu from behind the Yellow River defense line would at least involve some of the energy of the China devil.

.

This is the true psychology of the head of the Japanese military intelligence department. The Japanese knew in their hearts that this uprising was a one-shot deal. Only the confident Chen Tiannan was kept in the dark. He always believed that with his well-trained and well-equipped troops,

, coupled with the Japanese as senior advisers and the support of the imperial army, it will not be a problem to defeat Shandong. If you come back, you will be the master of Shandong.
