Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 622: Attack the enemy first

Tang Qiuli signed an order, and Chen Tiannan, the leading figure in planning and organizing the Juye uprising, and key members were sentenced to death. Within three days, more than 400 people were shot. Outside Juye City, gunfire continued for three days.

Ye and the nearby people came out of the empty city and witnessed the whole process with their own eyes. They talked about everything, but the fear in their hearts was real.{}

This incident was deliberately publicized by Li Honggang. The local forces and people in Shandong saw the bloody methods of Vice Chairman Tang. This was what Tang Qiuli instructed Li Honggang to do. He wanted to use high-pressure means to quickly solve the problem in Shandong.

Problem, no time to waste on this,

Since he had already been a butcher once in Xiangfan, Hubei Province, did he still care about killing people this time? Besides, the people killed were all those who deserved to be killed. Tang Qiuli found that since having that dream in his heart, he had become much cold-blooded.

Anyone or anything that hinders you from realizing your dreams will be eliminated.

As the politically powerful Chen Tiannan armed forces in southern Shandong were uprooted, the situation in southern Shandong quickly opened up. Li Honggang, in the name of Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government and Commander of the Shandong Garrison, issued the Chairman's Order No. 1 to rectify the local armed forces in Shandong. All Shandong Provincial Administration

within jurisdiction

The local armed forces must accept the reorganization of the garrison district headquarters and be given a unified designation. Military commanders at all levels of each local armed force are appointed by the garrison district headquarters to establish a four-level administrative management system of township, county, administrative office, and province.

Implement unified military and political leadership.

This order, in fact, deprived the local forces of their original power figures and the capital to stir up trouble, and firmly controlled the military power in their own hands. In the past, Liu Motou and Xu Sanguang gangs set the example, and later Chen Tiannan armed the

example, combination

Counting tens of thousands of people with guns, they will be wiped out at a moment's notice. Those local forces who still have a little courage to resist can save their lives and be peaceful and wealthy.

", they all obediently handed over their guns.

Before the military and political officials at all levels took office, local forces registered people and guns, and were responsible for collecting guns and ammunition scattered among the people. This was actually a major purge of local forces in Shandong, and it also eradicated Han Fuju's rule.

During the Shandong period, the government decrees did not leave the semi-separated state around Jinan, and there was an opportunity to completely eradicate potential opposition forces.

The administrative system at all levels in Shandong is operating rapidly. These military and political officers dispatched by the Yellow River and Henan Defense Line Guard Corps of the ** Division directly control the armed forces and have their own troops. How can the government orders not be smooth everywhere? With the development of the administrative system

Perfect, Han Tie's troops were scattered to various places, and Tang Qiuli faced another big trouble.

These military and political officers are absolute experts in leading troops to fight, but when it comes to local administration, they are reluctant to do so. It is inevitable to rush the ducks to the shelves. When it comes to people's livelihood, many jokes have been made. Tang Qiuli

of

There are many situations reported in my hands. The most typical one is that these officers love to think of themselves as Bao Qingtian. When they encounter a lawsuit, as long as it is a lawsuit between the poor and the rich, it does not matter whether the rich is justified or not.

It's the outcome of losing the lawsuit.

Some officers would not listen to the reason and just look at their clothes. As long as they were in tatters, they would immediately be justified. This gave rise to many cunning and cunning people who specialized in blackmailing wealthy people. Tang Qiuli was at the Zhengzhou Command Headquarters.

Li, looking at these situation briefings, was so angry that he wanted to laugh. What kind of logic is this? If these military lords continue to do this, Shandong will make a mess. What is the difference between it and Han Fuju?

He had no choice but to ask for help from Liu Hanzhang, chairman of the Military and Political Committee of Dingbian Special Economic Zone, and asked him to select 6,000 cadres with administrative experience to support Shandong. Liu Hanzhang received a telegram from the division commander and had a headache. This meant that Dingbian was

More than four-fifths of the administrative staff have been removed, but the division commander's order cannot be questioned.

No matter what, Liu Hanzhang gritted his teeth and spent a lot of effort to transfer a large number of cadres from Dingbian City and various counties, districts and villages, almost draining the administrative system of Dingbian, and finally gathered the number of people requested by the division commander, and quickly sent them to

Shandong came to the rescue. Immediately, he received an urgent telegram from Tang Qiuli and immediately opened an administrative college in Dingbian. Liu Hanzhang was in charge of the teaching staff and was recruited from all over the country.

All the professors recruited were given preferential treatment, and the standards were controlled by Liu Hanzhang himself. Students were also recruited from all over the country, all free of charge. Liu Hanzhang looked at the telegram and was impressed by Tang Qiuli's foresight, and immediately started to organize all matters of Dingbian School of Administration and Management.

Tang Qiuli has his own plan to

Afterwards, there are still many places to occupy. We cannot let these military leaders also hold administrative positions. This will distract their energy and, over time, will also consume their will to fight. In the long run, there will be endless troubles.

This was also his original intention to establish the School of Administration.

Shandong's bandit suppression campaign took less than a month and ended quickly at an unexpected speed. Shandong could already provide rear support for the troops. Tang Qiuli issued an order to join the bandit suppression troops, except Li Honggang.

The Corps and the Korean Iron Corps continued to stay outside Shandong, and the rest of the troops immediately returned to their original formations and prepared to implement their new combat plans.

Only Le Yiqin's air force remained in Jinan. Instead of evacuating, it received orders from the division commander to strengthen Jinan's air power and mobilize all the aircraft of the Dingbian Air Force that could participate in the war to Jinan so that they could fly to Jinan.

Gaining experience in actual battles was Tang Qiuli's reason. Le Yiqin deeply believed in this. A pilot who has never seen blood will always be a rookie. In the sky, he can only be slaughtered.

These pilots and aircraft were Tang Qiuli's treasures and the capital to compete in the world in the future. He did not dare to be careless and ordered Li Honggang to immediately assign an air defense brigade and a guard regiment to Jinan Airport to strengthen the air defense forces in the airspace around Jinan and the airport.

In fact, Tang Qiuli used Jinan Airport as the forward field airport for the ** Division Air Force. Taking off from Jinan Airport, the ** Division Air Force's combat radius could cover the entire North China region.

On March 12, Tang Qiuli issued a military operation order codenamed "Shanxi-Hebei Sharp Sword". Feng Jiwu's regiment, which had been defending the front line of Niangziguan, annihilated the Japanese troops at Yamaguchi and moved to the border area near Niangziguan.

Hidden rest and standby

The Tang Qiusheng Sulu Mobile Corps, with a total of 270,000 troops, targeted the enemy guarding Jingxing Pass opposite Niangzi Pass, striving to completely annihilate the enemy, waiting for opportunities to seize Shijiazhuang and Baoding, and pull the Japanese front in North China back to Pingjin.

surroundings.

Yan Xishan's Jin army on the Datong front line must contain the enemy on the opposite side and prevent it from dividing its troops to reinforce the Niangziguan battlefield. Liu Tiehan on the Cangzhou front line directs his troops to the east to maintain pressure on the Japanese army on the Cangzhou front line. If the Japanese army moves westward to reinforce the Niangziguan battlefield

, we can take the opportunity to seize Cangzhou and destroy the bridgehead for the Japanese army to attack Shandong.

Yuan Jinghao's troops on the front line in Anyang, Henan, raised their alert level to prevent the Japanese army from attacking from Henan. Sun Zhenbang's troops in Shexian County were ready to meet the Japanese Kwantung Army's southward attack in the Taihang Mountains. The brigades directly under the ** Division Headquarters were stationed in Heshun.

The Liaoyang area was in the middle to provide support.

Tang Qiuli deployed three main corps along the line from Niangziguan to Shexian County, along the Taihang Mountains, with a total of 400,000 troops. This deployment was to protect the Taihang Mountain base area behind him. He expected that the main battlefields in the next stage would be

In the Taihang Mountains, judging from Okamura Neiji's troop deployment, the direction of Shexian County was the main starting point for the Japanese army's attack on the Taihang Mountains.

Tang Qiuli didn't have much hope for Yan Xishan. Even if the Japanese army in the direction of Datong only had one regiment left, as long as they did not attack Datong, Yan Xishan would not take the initiative to provoke the Japanese. His troops would

He couldn't mobilize himself at all. Having learned the lesson from the Nanjing All-People's National Defense Mobilization Conference, Commander Yan was very careful about the soldiers in his hands.

Judging from the current overall situation in North China, our own strength is still inferior to that of the Japanese army. In local battlefields such as Cangzhou and Niangziguan, we maintain a strength advantage, but we are still at a disadvantage in other directions. This is destined to be a Japanese attack in the Taihang Mountains battle.

The defensive method could be to deploy the Japanese troops into the thousands-mile-long Taihang Mountains and engage in guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

Thinking of guerrilla warfare, Tang Qiuli felt something in his heart. He was really confused. He left the experts alone and worried that he didn't have enough troops. The troops of three divisions were currently in northern Shaanxi, waiting for him to issue orders. Today's ***

The army, compared with the same period in history, is no less than a world of difference. The weapons and equipment that I supplemented for them from Dingbian came in handy. These masters of guerrilla warfare trained by the Japanese took action, and Okamura Neji kept the hatred.

I was given the wrong pregnancy.

He immediately issued an order in the name of chairman of the Northern Army Branch of the National Military Commission and commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command, appointing General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the new Eighth Route Army of the Kuomintang Army, and deputy commander-in-chief General Peng Dehuai to serve as commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the theater headquarters immediately headed to the Taihang Mountains to participate in the upcoming Taihang Mountain Campaign.

He particularly emphasized in the order that the Eighth Route Army departments are not subject to various restrictions and can organize various battles on their own. They only need to report to the theater headquarters. There is only one requirement, which is to target the Japanese troops who are about to invade the Taihang Mountains. At the same time,

, various battles organized in the theater also need to be reported to the Eighth Route Army headquarters to facilitate the cooperation and coordination of operations between the two armies.

The order Tang Qiuli gave to the Eighth Route Army gave General Zhu De great autonomy. It also fully took into account the characteristics of the revolutionary army. The method of commanding the troops by oneself and the method of revolutionizing the army are two different ways. They cannot always be followed.

Letting the Eighth Route Army copy what I wanted would be tantamount to tying up the hands and feet of the Japanese army. Besides, the Japanese did not have that much capital.

To carry out independent mountain guerrilla warfare, this is the condition that was negotiated with the three giants of the Communist Party of China when we were in Yan'an. Besides, even if you don't agree, the Communist Party of China will definitely continue to fight in its own way and make things clear.

These will be beneficial to both parties involved in the cooperation.

Tang Qiuli's plan was to use the third phase of the North China Campaign to push the Japanese back to the Beiping-Tianjin line. The first two phases were passive defenses. This time, he decided to attack the enemy first, but the time to do so has not yet been finalized.
