Age of Conquest Reborn

After Tang Qiuli finished his inspection in Yan'an, he returned to Dingbian and immediately began to work on many matters such as Ju Bei leading the division personnel to establish a headquarters in the south. It was responsible for the department responsible for early understanding of the situation. The Intelligence Department had already compiled all aspects of intelligence.

into a file for him to consult at any time.

There was a wide range of intelligence from all aspects, but not much about the movements of the Japanese army. The Japanese were as honest as rabbits, which was a bit abnormal. For this reason, he urgently summoned Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, and Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Department, and ordered them to

The main focus is on paying attention to all the trends of the Japanese people.

This phenomenon can only be described as the silence before the storm. The battlefield this time is in the south. For the ** division troops, they are fighting in a completely unfamiliar area with entangled local forces. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of the New Guangxi faction,

Yu Hanmou in Guangdong, He Jian and Cheng Qian in Hunan, and Lu Diping in Jiangxi are not fuel-efficient lamps. They are able to survive to this day under such a strong posture of Chairman Chiang, which has its own merits.

It is said that the Japanese also unintentionally helped Tang Qiuli do good things. Wherever the Japanese army went, the old forces collapsed one after another, and Tang Qiuli could take the opportunity to enter. This was not the case in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong, otherwise

, once a forcefully intervenes, it will be countered by the joint efforts of local bigwigs. It will not dare to speak out against the situation in the big picture, but it will be limited in small ways and it will cause trouble everywhere. It is also a headache.

No, the spokesperson arranged by Chairman Chiang in the Songhu area, the Songhu garrison commander Gu Zhutong, kept making trouble for Feng Jiwu. He used Feng Jiwu’s telegram to Tang Qiuli to say that since the Niangziguan garrison Corps stationed in Songhu

Shanghai Region and Greater Shanghai

After that, there was no time to enjoy the world of flowers, nor was there a day of comfort. After the 87th Division of the Central Army withdrew from Shanghai, the Jiangsu Security Corps, Shanghai Police Corps and other local motley crews who stayed in Shanghai continued to make trouble.

There are no big things, small frictions continue every day. One Shanghai, two government offices. In addition to Feng Jiwu, there is also Gu Zhutong, two generals from the two factions. Gu Zhutong is determined not to make Feng Jiwu have an easy time. Those miscellaneous armed forces

·They are all local snakes

, Feng Jiwu only handles security cases and frictions between soldiers on both sides every day, one big and two big, and there are concessions from various countries, which are also red lines that cannot be stepped on. If this continues, the dignified commander of the main force of the *** division will probably be able to

Crazy.

In this matter, Chairman Chiang also did something very unethical. He did not even say hello. The Central Army withdrew from the Songhu area immediately. Zhang Zhizhong worked hard. Two bloody battles in Songhu cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Great Shanghai Defense Line that was created is just left here, waiting for the Japanese to take it over, and put more than 30,000 people in a miscellaneous place here. If it doesn't work, it will be ignored, and it will cause trouble.

The ** Division troops took over the defense of the Songhu area. Seeing that the Japanese were still not coming, Chairman Chiang regretted it again and tried to find a way to get it back. In fact, this was the reason for Tang Qiuli. The Japanese base camp was

Knowing that the Songhu and Hangzhou Bay areas had been taken over by the main force of the ** Division, they were forced to modify the combat plan and pointed the finger at the direction of Guangdong, Guangxi and Beibu Gulf. Who dared to come to the Songhu area to challenge the enemy?

There were many twists and turns, and Tang Qiuli had a clear mind, so he issued an order to Feng Jiwu, but Gu Zhutong was still in the way of Shanghai. Then, there was another order to send a telegram, "Yuan Song

General Gu Zhutong, commander of the Shanghai Regional Garrison Command, has now abolished the Songhu Garrison Command based on war needs, and all functions of the department have been transferred to the newly established Jiangnan Defense Headquarters."

"General Feng Jiwu, the commander of the Jiangnan Defense Headquarters, is fully responsible for all defense in the region. General Gu can serve locally or return to the Chongqing National Government Military Commission to report on his duties." Tang Qiuli also made plans. Gu Zhutong

Song

I didn’t know about the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek didn’t even say hello to me. This time, I withdrew without saying hello to Chairman Chiang. Things happen in a confused way. If this order goes ahead, Chongqing will have to start a fire. I

Just take the call.

After dealing with matters in Shanghai, Tang Qiuli plunged into the training of the troops. This time, the terrain of the combat area of ​​the ** division troops was completely different from that of the north. For this reason, Tang Qiuli issued three orders to the division headquarters.

With the first training order of 9 years, the six field corps of the ** Division stationed in the southern region immediately conducted targeted training on the terrain of the future combat area.

Each corps selected four main brigades to conduct special training in mountain warfare and jungle warfare. All the troops transferred must be trained into units suitable for terrain operations. At the same time, an order was given to Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, that the entire special operations detachment,

Immediately go south and deploy experienced commanders and soldiers to serve as training instructors for each unit.

In the busy time, it was already late March, and the southern headquarters of the ** Division had been established. In a few days, Tang Qiuli would lead the headquarters south to the war zone for command. At this moment, things in Shanghai were conflicting.

The situation finally intensified, and Feng Jiwu attacked Gu Zhutong.

Feng Jiwu received the Shangfang Sword from his division commander and immediately started to clean up and rectify the local miscellaneous armed forces in the Songhu area. In the past, Feng Jiwu tolerated it because he did not receive a clear order. Gu Zhutong was also known as "Gu Zhutong" in the National Government.

The person in charge was a close confidant of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and he had just settled in Shanghai. He had no clue about many things, so he didn't take care of them.

This time, after receiving the order, he freed up his hands. The first one to capture was Gu Zhutong's Songhu Garrison Headquarters. Feng Jiwu's method was very simple. He sent the corps guard battalion to surround the Songhu Garrison Headquarters and put the plaque on it.

Once it was taken off, a seal was put on the door, and all the personnel were escorted aboard with armed force and sent directly back to Chongqing.

This caused an uproar. After receiving Tang Qiuli's order, Gu Zhutong immediately sent a telegram to Chairman Jiang to ask for a good idea. The old man also knew that this matter was a wrestling match between himself and Tang Qiuli.

The Japanese were ungrateful for giving up the Songhu area, and the ambassadors of the four countries were dissatisfied. They didn't get any benefits, and they got an advantage. Tang Qiuli felt a fire in his heart. The secret he gave Gu Zhutong was just one word: "Procrastinate"

”.

Gu Zhutong understood this and sent an extremely polite telegram back to Tang Qiuli, "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, the staff department has been stationed in the Songhu area for a long time, and it involves many aspects of local governance and military affairs. It is difficult to solve it as soon as possible.

After the waiting department has finished handling all matters in hand, it will be handed over to General Feng Jiwu, Commander-in-Chief of Jiangnan Defense."

Gu Zhutong was enjoying his time in Shanghai, passing one day as if it were a month. Even a few words would drag on a big deal for ten days and a half. An official document could be studied for a week, and at the same time, he would instruct local armed forces who had their interests in mind.

, constantly creating friction, and from time to time there would be disputes between soldiers from both sides. He appeared as a mediator. This investigation lasted several days.

After Feng Jiwu took corresponding measures, Gu Zhutong felt deeply that the troops in his hands were insufficient and there were not enough troublemakers, so he secretly issued an order to Liao Hui, the commander of the 87th Division who had been ordered by Tang Qiuli to move to Nanjing, to mobilize two main regiments to station in Shanghai.

In order to increase his own strength, if he can stand firm, he will control Shanghai in disguise, at least a part of it, and fulfill the old man's great trust.

As a member of the Central Military Commission and a direct descendant of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Liao Hui naturally understood this and sent his 123rd and 124th regiments to Shanghai. This was a fully-equipped Central Army unit.

, two groups of more than 5,000 people boarded the ship from Yanziji Pier in Nanjing, and arrived in Jiading, Shanghai in less than a day. They abandoned the ship and landed, rested there overnight, and sailed into Shanghai the next day.

As soon as the two regiments of the Eighty-seventh Division moved in Nanjing, they fell into the eyes of the agents of the Nanjing Intelligence Station of the Yu Deshui Intelligence Department. They immediately sent the information to Yu Deshui. The matter was so important that Yu Deshui did not dare to delay and reported it.

It was in the hands of the division commander Tang Qiuli. After reading the information, Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed coldly and he sneered.

Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, was called and said: "Order, Feng Jiwu, Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangnan Defense Headquarters, the Eighty-seventh Division did not receive the order and left the defense area without authorization and headed for Shanghai. It seems to be suspected of rebellion. In an emergency, your unit

Deal with it immediately, disarm on the spot, and annihilate it immediately if you encounter resistance."

Tang Qiuli was being reasonable. Gu Zhutong's biggest mistake was that he should not bypass Tang Qiuli, the country's highest military commander, and make his own decisions. Gu Zhutong also figured it out, even if he asked for instructions.

, Tang Qiuli is definitely not sure, so let's make a decision first and then report it. It's a fait accompli. You, Tang Qiuli, won't challenge Chairman Chiang directly, right?

But Gu Zhutong was wrong. Chairman Chiang and his staff also misread Tang Qiuli's determination. For the upcoming war in Jiangnan, Tang Qiuli would never allow any unstable factors to appear.

Behind him, Gu Zhutong's actions just touched his psychological bottom line.

Feng Jiwu, who received the order, was so happy that he had already disliked Zhu Tong. He even secretly arranged for more than 5,000 people to come to Shanghai. He immediately ordered the Corps Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng to dispatch two brigades and a tank regiment overnight.

Encircled the garrison of the two regiments of the 87th Division of the Central Army.

Before Zhang Hansheng left, Feng Jiwu gave him instructions, "Hansheng, besiege them all night, don't alert them, it's all in the dark, whichever side can't control the shooting first, it's a melee situation, handle it with caution, give priority to deterrence, disarming is better than annihilation."

It’s much better, and the division commander has more room for maneuver.”

Zhang Hansheng smiled and said: "Commander, don't worry. The two brigades have nearly 30,000 troops and more than a hundred tanks. It will take no effort to deal with the Central Army who have never seen battles. The Eighty-seventh Division and the

Compared with other local troops, he is tough, but compared with our corps, he is not qualified."

The sun rose and dispersed the thick night fog along the Yangtze River. The troops of the Eighty-seventh Division of the Central Army went out for morning exercises as usual, but everything changed. The sentry shouted and reported the situation to the regimental commander, with a small face.

The boy was so frightened that he stammered in his words, "Report to the group, we are surrounded."
