Republic of China game

Apart from ordinary people on the street, there were officers wearing khaki uniforms of the Northeast Army and speaking with a Kanto accent wandering around, watching the excitement with their mouths wide open.This city is no stranger to the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, but this time they came back and felt that they saw a completely strange Tianjin.

The foreign devils who used to roam Tianjinwei, whether they were British, French, American or Japanese, are almost gone now.I don't know where the various cars running on the street have gone?Although the concession is still there, all the foreign firms have put up signs of closure and their doors are closed.The compradors of foreign firms who were busy and trot all the way to do everything naturally disappeared without a trace. The entire concession was quiet, but it was not as lively as the Huajie.

The city is still the original city, but in the eyes of these passers-by who have left in a hurry and come in a hurry, there is a world of difference!

A line of black cars slowly entered the Tianjin International Settlement. This line of cars attracted the attention of many people.Each car has a small bright red flag marked with a sickle and a hammer.This is the vehicle of the CCP delegation in the ongoing Kuomintang-Communist negotiations, and the CCP is still the master of half of Tianjin Wei!Because all the streets, all the factories, all the shops, all the schools and government offices have a semi-underground communist committee running everything!Without their nodding, what Zhang Xueliang can command is his 10,000+ soldiers of the Northeast Army...

Inside the car, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong sat side by side, looking at everything around them through the car window from time to time, and frowned unconsciously when they saw the increasingly prosperous market...

Due to the passive attitude of the Kuomintang, the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party failed to become a war of liberation in the end, but turned into a farce with a lot of thunder and little rain.The Soviet Union and Japan, which had stretched their necks and waited to see the excitement, had no choice but to send some innocuous congratulatory messages in disappointment to congratulate the conclusion of the armistice agreement between the two parties.Moreover, throughout the Battle of Shanxi and the so-called Civil War between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Nationalist Government and the Kuomintang in the south have shown to the people of the whole country with practical actions that they have no interest in reunifying the North by force!Even when anti-communist demonstrations erupted day after day in major cities in the south, the national government resolutely chose to cease the war.

Although this passive civil war attitude has won the favor of the masses who do not know the truth, democrats, national capitalists, and even some leftists of the Kuomintang.However, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong, who sat in this car and went to sign the "Armistice Agreement", keenly felt that there must be a conspiracy!And this conspiracy must be in the Northeast, that is to say, the Kuomintang has already made complete preparations in the Northeast...

Zhou Enlai lowered the curtain of the car window: "Wang Zhongyi! Their last move should be this move."

Mao Zedong sneered and said: "Go east from Mongolia, seize Heilongjiang, and destroy Zhang Xueliang's old camp in one fell swoop! This Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Fuwen are really good tricks."

"Take Harbin?" Zhou Enlai's face darkened, probably recalling Wang Zhongyi's cruelty in the Kulun incident.He looked at Mao Zedong: "Should we remind Zhang Xueliang and let him beware of the conspiracy of the Kuomintang reactionaries?"

Mao Zedong just shook his head with a wry smile, how should he tell others this?Could it be that the Japanese are about to seize the Northeast, but what your Northeast Army has to beware of is the Kuomintang?

"But when the Kuomintang has Wang Zhongyi as its signboard, it can completely ignore our anti-Japanese national united front." Zhou Enlai shook his head and sighed.

Mao Zedong waved his hand: "This matter is not that simple, we can only take it slowly... The first thing we need to consider now is how to take advantage of the chaotic situation caused by the Japanese invasion of the Northeast, pull up our own team in the Northeast, and establish the enemy's rear." Anti-Japanese base."

"The anti-Japanese base area in the enemy's rear?" Zhou Enlai turned to look at Mao Zedong: "Runzhi, do you have any tricks up your sleeve?"

Mao Zedong smiled deeply: "I have a little idea. Our regular army has suffered a lot in the war in the past few months. If we don't get replenishment, then we can only take a defensive position on the frontal battlefield to ensure the security of the Beijing-Tianjin area. But we can't give up the attack on Japanese imperialism because of this! My idea is to take the defensive in the frontal battlefield and take the offensive in the enemy's rear battlefield. Send small and capable troops into the Northeast, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Northeast Army's collapse to gather them The weapons and remnants of the enemy were transformed into the anti-Japanese armed forces behind the enemy led by our party. Then the anti-Japanese bases behind the enemy were established in the mountainous areas of Rehe in western Liaoning or in the Changbai Mountains. At the same time, the agrarian revolution was carried out to win the support and support of the people to consolidate the and expand base areas, conduct guerrilla operations behind enemy lines..."

"...But in Heilongjiang, we can't completely let Wang Zhongyi and the Kuomintang mess around. For the patriotic generals of the Northeast Army who stay in Heilongjiang, our party should fight for it." Having said this, Mao Zedong turned his head and looked at Zhou Enlai was frowning his eyebrows, thinking hard.

……

The wind and sand rose suddenly in Kulun City, and it blew from noon until late at night.

The wind and sand blown by Siberia's cold wind in the early winter of the past, but this year's autumn has shrouded this famous city in northern Saibei in a yellow chaos in advance.There are few pedestrians on the street. Only the camels of the caravan traveling between Mongolia and the Northeast can walk in such a big wind and sand.

The violent wind slammed into the four corners of Kulun City, sending out a whining roar that overwhelmed all other sounds.When the rage reached its peak, it almost knocked down the tall walls of Kulun City!

In the city of Kulun, the meeting room of the Mongolian Military Governor's Office was full of civil and military officials from the Mongolian region and the Seventh Route Army of the Central Army.No distinction between Mongolian and Han, monks and laymen alike, all had serious expressions on their faces. Wang Zhongyi sat in the middle of the conference table, and next to him sat the chubby Living Buddha Governor Zhangjia Hutuktu with an even more melancholy expression.

The whole room was silent, only the sound of the wind and sand outside the window, which was like howling ghosts and gods.Wang Zhongyi just announced in the name of the Mongolian Special Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Party Committee of the Seventh Route Army that the main force of the Seventh Route Army will go east to resist Japan after Japan invaded the Northeast and establish a base in Heilongjiang Province!

"Comrades, this eastward march to resist Japan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Seventh Route Army! In the past two years, we have accumulated no less than 30 guns, and tens of millions of bullets, which are 75mm mountain artillery cavalry There are as many as three or four hundred guns! So many weapons and equipment are useless in Mongolia. Mongolia has only 100 million people at the moment. How many soldiers can be recruited? How many soldiers can be raised? So we have to develop the only way Just go eastward, go to the northeast and lay a foundation! When we arrive in the northeast, our team will expand immediately, from ten brigades to ten divisions! Let’s develop an army of [-] first, and then the big guys can be promoted to a higher level. no?"

Although Mongolia is known as bitter cold, but after staying for a long time, I feel that it is quite comfortable. When I first heard that it was going eastward to fight against Japan, all the generals and officers had some hesitation on their faces.So Wang Zhongyi first came to make a wish to be an official, to boost the morale of everyone.Then Zhengyan began to talk about the truth: "The Northeast is actually the most affluent place. Little Japan has been coveting since the Jiawu Year! These years, they have watched the South develop step by step, and they will never sit still. I can't help it, I'm finally going to jump out and start. Speaking of which, we shouldn't be in charge of this matter. The Northeast is Zhang Xueliang's territory, but this second generation ancestor is probably a prodigal son, and he can't keep the foundation left by the old general Zhang! He can't keep his foundation, if he loses to us Chinese, it's fine, but if he loses his property to those ambitious little Japan! We definitely can't agree to it! This is the righteousness of the nation, and it is related to our Chinese nation for thousands of years. The big event is definitely not their old Zhang’s private matter! Therefore, I decided to unite with the Nationalist Government in the South and the patriotic generals in the Northeast Army to establish an anti-Japanese base in Heilongjiang, and fight with Little Japan to the end! No matter what I say, I can’t let them swallow the Northeast Into the stomach!"

As soon as Wang Zhongyi's words fell, several civil and military officials of the Seventh Route Army immediately stood up and echoed loudly. In fact, this meeting of the Seventh Route Army was just a speech made by Commander Wang, and the people below were just a bunch of echoes. A real dictator!

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true, how can we let a little Japan succeed in our great China!"

"These little Japanese are not overpowered. Didn't the KMT defeat them in Shandong two years ago?"

"With the commander-in-chief leading us, this eastward anti-Japanese war must be a victory!"

"Commander-in-Chief, just give the order! Wherever you point, we will fight there!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting room was gradually rising, Wang Zhongyi nodded with a smile, and smiled at Lin Yurong beside him: "Yurong, you are the chief of staff, and you will tell everyone about the specific combat missions."

Lin Yurong snapped to attention, gave a respectful military salute to Wang Zhongyi, then walked solemnly to the map hanging on the wall of the conference room, picked up the pointer and began to arrange the plans that the staff department had already made one by one.In fact, at this moment, the main force of the Seventh Route Army has already moved to the banks of the Kherlen River in Eastern Mongolia, near the newly built military town "Zhongyi Fort" in Manzhouli.Just wait for the firing gun from the Japanese in the Northeast, and they will cross the border between Manchuria and Mongolia, go east to fight against Japan, and grab the territory along the way!

……

While the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were preparing their own anti-Japanese plans, a conspiracy to seize the Northeast was also being planned in the secret room of the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters.Although this conspiracy has almost become known to the world, probably Zhang Xueliang was kept in the dark by himself, right?

"The general distribution of our Northeast Army in Manchuria is that the Tenth Route Army deployed by Liaoning Province is the 15th Route Army under the general command; Jilin Province is the No.5 Route Army attached to the Northeast Army, and the commander-in-chief is Yu Xuezhong; Heilongjiang is deployed. It is the Ninth Route Army led by Jiang Dengxuan. Among them, my Tenth Route Army has 3 people, and the equipment is also the best. The Ninth Route Army has about 15 people, which is not bad, and the No.2 Route Army has only 15. People and equipment are also the worst. In addition, there are some local armed and independent brigades, most of which are recruited by bandits. They have little combat effectiveness and are also very easy to buy. Therefore, the biggest opponent of the imperial army in this battle is No. The [-]th Route Army and the Ninth Route Army in Heilongjiang have a total of more than [-] people."

The one who spoke was Aixinjueluo Xiqia, one of Zhang Xueliang's two most trusted teachers, the supreme commander of the Northeast Army in Liaoning Province, and the biggest and last loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Those who listened to him were the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Takashi Ryokan, and the commander of the Second Division, Domon Jiro.The two of them did not wear military uniforms for formal occasions, but wore loose kimonos. They knelt in the Japanese room, listening quietly with their knees on their hands.

"In addition, there are a large number of weapons and ammunition stored in the Northeast Army's ordnance warehouse in Harbin... There are 10,000+ rifles, five or six hundred artillery pieces of various types, and countless ammunition. It can fully arm hundreds of thousands of troops! If If we can't capture Harbin immediately, then Zhang Xueliang may use the reserves there to quickly expand an army."

Lingjialong nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "Mr. Xiqia, this Jiang Dengxuan is also a Japanese non-commissioned officer, right? How is his relationship with you? What is his attitude towards the empire? Is it possible to win him over?"

"Jiang Dengxuan is indeed a Japanese non-commissioned officer. He and his subordinates belong to the "non-commissioned officer department" of the Northeast Army. Of course, they are also very friendly to Japan. However, it may be difficult to win this person, relying on this thin side of the subordinate. It’s here. It’s best to have Yang Yuting come forward together, but this person is hiding in Shanghai now..."

Takashi Hishikarari shook his head slowly, the work in this area was naturally done by the intelligence department, what he and Tomon Jiro wanted to know today was only military intelligence.In order to be aware of the work in a few days later.

"Mr. Xiqia, can you completely control the [-] Northeast Army in Liaoning?" Domen Erlang asked calmly.

"No." Xiqia sneered: "But I can order them to lay down their weapons, let the imperial army disarm, and then reorganize, and put those who can be commanded by the students into important positions." Duomen Erlang used to be in Japan Served as an instructor at the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and Xi Qia was his student at that time.

"What?" Domen Erlang asked subconsciously.Since this Xiqia cannot completely control the [-] Northeast Army in Liaoning, how can he order them to lay down their weapons and let them disarm?

Xiqia laughed, took out a copy of the telegram from his pocket, and handed it to Duomen Erlang with both hands: "Teacher, please look, this is the secret telegram that Zhang Xueliang sent to the students a few days ago. You can't resist it. With this secret message, the students can naturally order the Northeast Army in Liaoning Province to lay down their weapons... When Zhang Xueliang recovers, the Northeast is no longer his!"

Duomen Erlang laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! Zhang Xueliang is indeed a useless dude who would actually give such an order to his own army! After the restoration of the Qing Dynasty in the future, you must not treat this living treasure badly, no matter what Give it to a prince."

Ling Jielong also smiled: "Mr. Xiqia, with this order, is it possible that the No.15 Route Army in Jilin and the Ninth Route Army in Heilongjiang will not resist? Let them disarm?"

Xiqia frowned, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult. The No.15 Route Army is the last bit of flesh and blood of Wu Peifu's direct lineage, not the direct lineage of our Northeast Army. It is not particularly friendly to the Great Japanese Empire, probably not. Surrendered. As for the Ninth Route Army, it still depends on Jiang Dengxuan's intention..."

Duomen Erlang smiled indifferently: "It's okay! With my invincible Second Division of the Imperial Army, no matter whether it is the No.15 Route Army in Jilin or the Ninth Route Army in Heilongjiang, they are all vulnerable!"

Ling Jielong raised his eyebrows and nodded heavily: "Okay! At that time, it will all depend on the hard work of the Lords of the Second Division." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to Xiqia and said with a smile: "We also need Xiqia Please cooperate with all your strength and catch them by surprise!"

……

With a soft sound, Luo Yaoguo put the two newly drafted troop establishment forms on Chiang Kai-shek's desk.

These two establishment tables are the plan for the formation of No.20 Fifth and No.20 Six Divisions of the National Revolutionary Army.Unlike the other twenty or so heavy-duty divisions of the Kuomintang Army, these two divisions all belong to the "light infantry division".The staffing is all around 36, and the number of artillery has been greatly reduced to 75 [-]mm mountain guns in a regiment.The brigade, regiment, and battalion levels are no longer equipped with artillery.In addition, there is another eye-catching thing that the soldiers of these two divisions were replenished in Heilongjiang in the northeast!Right now, this is still the territory of the Northeast Army!

"Has the candidate for the teacher been drawn up?" Chiang Kai-shek only read a few pages hastily, then closed the folder with a snap, and asked about the arrangement of the people he cared about most.

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "The staff department is looking for advice from the committee members. These two divisions may be isolated for a long time in the future, and the environment they are in is extremely complicated and difficult. Therefore, the selection of the chief officer must also be cautious, and must not only consider military capabilities , while ignoring the others."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "In this case, then I recommend two people... No. 20 Fifth Division Commander Du Yuming, he has held important positions in the Youth Army and Ningxia, has experience in this field, and his military rank and qualifications are just right. .No.20, Chen Mingren was appointed as the commander of the Sixth Division. He has served as the division commander in the 14th year of the Republic of China, but he has been buried in the past few years. This time he went to the Northeast, just to give full play to his strengths in bravery and combat." He thought for a while and asked again. : "The chief of staff of the anti-union is also dispatched by us, right? Do you have a good candidate? Do you want me to recommend another one for you?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "Then I will trouble the committee."

Chiang Kai-shek hummed, and thought for a while: "Then Chen Cixiu, his qualifications are higher than those of Whampoa students, and it is appropriate to lead them in such a position."

Chapter 0510 9.18 War of Resistance ([-])

September 19th, [-]th year of the Republic of China.

With a bang, Guo Songling flew headfirst into Zhang Xueliang's study in the Tianjin Superintendent's Office.
