I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The Japanese army suffered heavy losses in aircraft and was still unable to seize air supremacy, so they were unable to launch effective air strikes against the Chinese army with their bombers. bombing.

On July 7, all Majiajun cavalry units arrived in Xuzhou.

When Jiang Weiguo went to greet him, he was very surprised to find that not only more than [-] horses and more than [-] cavalry came, but also thousands of horses, donkeys and mules, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition.

After questioning, Jiang Weiguo knew that the extra horses, donkeys and mules were donated to the Nationalist government by the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai, and those weapons and ammunition were part of the Soviet government’s aid to China. Some of the delivered horses, donkeys and mules and the Soviet aid to China were brought over.

Jiang Weiguo immediately went to Li Zongren and asked straight to the point: "Which division in the fifth war zone has basically been wiped out and has retreated into Xuzhou City?"

Li Zongren thought for a while and said, "The 17th Division!"

The 17th Division belongs to the 38th Army, and the 38th Army is one of the two major remnants of Yang Hucheng's original No.17 Route Army (the other remnant is the 7th Army). Obviously, as the "culprit" that launched the Xi'an Incident As well as a local miscellaneous army, the 38th Army was out-and-out cannon fodder in the War of Resistance. The army first participated in the Battle of Pingjin, and then participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. In addition, at this point in the war, only 17 of the [-] troops left in the army. As for the [-]th Division, it is even more exhausted. Now there are more than [-] people left, and more than half of them are wounded, and the equipment is even worse. To the point of bankruptcy.

"I want this teacher!" Jiang Weiguo was not polite.

The reason why Jiang Weiguo wanted the 17th Division, which was only an empty shell, was because he could not let the Japanese army know that part of the Nanjing Army had left Nanjing City and participated in the Battle of Xuzhou. If the Japanese army knew that the Nanjing Army in Nanjing City was completely insufficient, It is very likely that the siege operation will be launched again. In addition, the 2 horses that Jiang Weiguo brought out from the city of Nanjing have not yet had a new establishment, and the designations are rather messy, because some of the 2 horses came from the 74th Division and some came from the 2nd Reserve Division. Teacher, we need to rectify it.

Anyway, the 17th Division "grandmother doesn't love, uncle doesn't love", has already been wiped out, and Jiang Weiguo just used it for "waste utilization". His youngest son, naturally has no scruples in doing this (it is absolutely impossible for others to do this, because swallowing the 17th division means that this person has obtained an additional division number and strength of a division, and Chiang Kai-shek will Suspicious about this, Chiang Kai-shek was not stingy, but he was very harsh on the designation. For example, in the original history, Zhou Enlai asked Chiang Kai-shek to add a few more division designations to the CCP, but Chiang Kai-shek flatly refused.

).

The two cavalry divisions of Ma's army are temporarily organized into the 1st and 2nd cavalry divisions. The two division commanders are Ma Biao and Ma Lu, both lieutenant generals. Arrogant, so Jiang Weiguo selected Ma Biao to take the 1st Temporary Cavalry Division and half of the troops of the Nanjing Army he brought to Shandong Province to "havoc in heaven".

In order to ensure the smooth flow of military orders, Jiang Weiguo selected more than 1 veterans from the 1000 Nanjing Army he brought, more than 17 combat-experienced militiamen, 171 elite soldiers, and 172 troops from the 173st Temporary Cavalry Division of Ma Biao. Yu cavalry, mixed "replenishment" into the [-]th division with only more than [-] people left (in fact, it is the magpie nest Jiuzhan). At the same time, with the approval of Chiang Kai-shek, the establishment was reset. , [-]nd and [-]rd regiments, each regiment has more than [-] elite infantry and more than [-] cavalry, equipped with a large number of cars, horses, donkeys and mules, hundreds of light tanks and armored vehicles, hundreds of light Artillery and mortars, the whole division is well-armed and has sufficient ammunition. Each battalion is equipped with a radio station to ensure that the whole division has strong mobility and perfect communication capabilities. Air Force planes also assist in the battle. They enter Shandong Province and wreak havoc. , Wanton attack, maximum disturbance of the Japanese rear.

"This guerrilla force of Lao Tzu can at least contain a division of the Japanese army!" Jiang Weiguo was full of confidence.

Chapter 358 The Decisive Battle in Xuzhou (3)

The first battlefield in Xuzhou's decisive battle was Jiawang Town.

Jiawang Town is the last barrier in the northeast of Xuzhou City. After occupying Taierzhuang and crossing the Grand Canal, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army rushed all the way to Xuzhou City, and then suffered a head-on blow at Jiawang Town. It was the Nanjing Army brought by Jiang Weiguo to the Xuzhou battlefield (originally 10 people, 2 people were taken away), and there were also 1 cavalry from the 2nd Cavalry Division temporarily organized by Ma Jiajun and 20 troops from the [-]th Army of Tang Enbo. fight.

The 10th Division called itself "the third trump card of the Imperial Army", "the flower of the imperial army", and "the invincible division". A large number of elite veterans, a large number of vehicles, tanks and artillery have been supplemented and strengthened, so the combat effectiveness of the division is unquestionable. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Isoya Rensuke, even uttered wild words, "Even 30 Chinese troops can't stop my first attack." Tenth Division", however, the division encountered a stronger resistance in Jiawang Town than Taierzhuang.

Ten days and ten nights of bloody battles, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in the division, but they were kept out of the town all the time. Lieutenant General Jigu, furious and enraged by shame, led the charge in person under the honor of the division commander. As a result, Not only was the Japanese attack repulsed again, Lieutenant General Isoya was shot in the chest by a sniper from the defenders, and he almost died. It hit the third rib on the left chest of General Isoya, almost breaking the rib, and the bullet got stuck in the bone seam. According to the doctor, "If this rib is completely broken, the bullet will directly penetrate the division commander. Your Excellency's heart, luckily the bullet has run out of strength."

Lieutenant General Ji Gu's first words after waking up from a coma two days later were: "Have you found out? Who is the Chinese army in Jiawang Town?"

The chief of staff of the division, Umemura Toshiro, replied: "I found out! The Chinese Army in Jiawang Town is the 20th Army of the Central Army, the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Majia Army, and the 117th Division that originally belonged to the Yang Hucheng Department of the Small Northwest Army! "

Lieutenant General Ji Gu thought repeatedly: "The 117th Division is just a miscellaneous army. The cavalry division can't fight defensive battles. The one who stands in our way is Tang Enbo's 20th Army! Impossible! I have dealt with Tang Enbo in Taierzhuang. Although a person can still fight, it is impossible for him to be so brave, what is going on here?"

The national army unit that made it difficult for the 10th Division to advance was the 117th Division that was eliminated by Lieutenant General Isoya from the beginning.

The Nanjing Army unit that is participating in the battle in Jiawang Town uses the designation of the 38th Division of the 117th Army. Like the 17th Division of the same army, this division has almost been wiped out, and it has been "used by waste" by Jiang Weiguo. Nanjing in Jiawang Town The army participated in the battle as an officer and soldier of the 117th Division. Li Zongren, who came to Jiawang Town to watch the battle, said: "...the enemy army is coming all over the mountains and plains, and the waves are rolling in. Its momentum is almost unstoppable. Kneading cold sweat with his hands, but saw that the defenders (the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army of the 117th Division) showed no fear, the position was as motionless as a mountain, blood poured out of corpses in front of the formation, guns were like thunder, killing sounds shook the sky, gunpowder smoke covered the sky, The sun and the moon are dark, the defenders are advancing and never retreating, tenacious as rocks, fierce as tigers, everyone is brave and brave, and everyone dares to die. Seeing it, it has to make people bloody and tears!" Behind, Li Zongren said to Xu Zuyi with emotion: " If Lao Jiang gives me 20 Nanjing troops, I promise to win the battle of Xuzhou completely."

The combat effectiveness of the Nanjing Army is needless to say. The other generals of the national army who saw the Nanjing Army fighting for the first time were all envious and even ashamed.

The core unit of the 20th Army is the 4th Division, which Tang Enbo served as the division commander during the Battle of Songhu. Chen Daqing, the division commander of this division at this time, was Tang Enbo's confidant. It should be like this! The real Chinese army should be like this! This is the real Chinese army! I used to think that the Nanjing Army only relied on the solid fortifications of Nanjing City and the inexhaustible sophisticated weapons to defeat the Japanese army in Nanjing. Now I know However, the Nanjing Army relied on a more ruthless momentum and a stronger spirit than the Japanese Army.

The Nanjing army was not afraid of death from top to bottom. After seeing the Japanese army, they didn't need the chief's speech to encourage them, and they didn't need the reward of foreign banknotes.

I once asked a battalion commander of the Nanjing Army, 'You are really not afraid of devils', and the battalion commander said to me with a face full of disbelief as if he heard something very funny, 'What are you kidding?How can we be afraid of devils?It's the devils who are afraid of us! "A regiment or even a battalion of the Nanjing Army dared to launch a counter-charge against a regiment of the Japanese Army. This kind of fearless spirit bursting out from the bones is indeed beyond my reach.

In the old mining area, a regiment of the Nanjing Army first fought with a regiment of the Japanese Army. Without fear, they continued to fight with the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers of the regiment hardly slept, and fired at the same time eating and drinking. After a bloody battle for a day and a night, the Japanese regiment couldn't hold on anymore and was about to retreat. Unexpectedly, there were only more than 1000 Nanjing troops left. That regiment actually launched a counter-charge against the Japanese army, which was nearly twice their number, and chased and killed the Japanese army all the way. , the regiment of the Japanese army was completely defeated, and more than 4000 people were wiped out, and the regiment of the Nanjing Army was reduced from more than 3000 people before the war to only more than 300 people. Commander, asked him, "Where is the regimental commander?" He said, "He took the lead in the charge and was seriously injured." One took the lead in the charge and was killed in battle, the other was wounded, and died with the two Japanese soldiers holding a grenade.

I have to sigh, great!nice!This is the real Chinese soldier! "

Tang Enbo’s chief of staff, Zhang Xuezhong, also praised the Nanjing Army’s position after viewing it: “The Nanjing Army is good at both attacking and defending, and after the Battle of Nanjing, they are already proficient in how to fight defensive warfare. It is an expert level. Jiawang Town originally had no defense system, but in just a few days, trenches, trenches, traffic trenches, tunnels, cat-ear holes, circular fortifications, shelters, fire support points, and serial bunkers... Many of their staff officers in charge of this matter are high-achieving university students in the Department of Civil Engineering or Architecture, and they have specially written strict regulations on the construction of fortifications. In civil engineering textbooks, the design of many fortifications is ingenious, and the actual combat value is extremely high. Frankly speaking, with the same artillery firepower, it is difficult for a brigade of the 20th Army to attack the defense line of a battalion of the Nanjing Army.

In addition, the Nanjing Army’s way of killing the enemy is also very worth learning. They have the courage to start a head-to-head battle with the Japanese army, but they are not single-minded. Their tactics are very flexible and ingenious, and their scouts are amazing In a certain battle, their scouts lurked near the artillery position of the 10th Division, found out the precise location of the Japanese artillery position, and then notified the cavalry division of the Majia Army by radio. Half of the artillery regiment was destroyed by the cavalry division of Ma's army. Just as the cavalry division was about to retreat, one of their scouts accidentally discovered the field hospital of the 10th division. More than 10 wounded Japanese soldiers were slaughtered on the hospital beds one by one.

In another battle, the Nanjing Army dispatched 10 strong soldiers, each with a submachine gun, to cross Weishan Lake in a small boat at night. The Japanese army was caught off guard and appeared in Nigou Town in the south of Zaozhuang behind the Japanese army. The logistics base of the division, after 10 Nanjing troops killed there, burned thousands of tons of supplies of the 100th Division, and the fire lit up half the sky, although the [-] Nanjing troops who sneaked behind the Japanese army were less than [-] people came back, but they completed their tasks, and they knew that they would never return, but they never looked back, had no complaints and no regrets, which has to be awe-inspiring.

In addition, these [-] death-death soldiers were not selected, but a battalion was directly designated to carry out the task. There was no need to select, and there was no need to use the principle of voluntariness, because everyone in the Nanjing Army was ready to join the death-death squad at any time Prepare'.

Loyal, tenacious, brave, resolute, and clever, the Nanjing Army has almost all the virtues and advantages that an army should have!"

Although Tang Enbo fought side by side with Jiang Weiguo and did not dare to neglect Jiang Weiguo, he had a lot of opinions on Jiang Weiguo, because after Jiang Weiguo's troops were exhausted, they directly "sourced local materials" and directly poached people from his 20th Army to supplement his troops. , At the same time, a strange thing appeared.

Wang Zhonglian, commander of the 20th Army of the 85th Army, said: "...Our soldiers were constantly wanted by Jiang Weiguo and added to his Nanjing Army. We must feel uncomfortable. In addition, to say something bad, the combat effectiveness of our soldiers Certainly not as good as Jiang Weiguo's soldiers, but a strange thing happened. Our soldiers who were added to the Nanjing Army changed immediately, and they quickly changed from the previous ones in temperament and spirit. arrogance.

I have seen that a battalion of the Nanjing Army, for example, is half exhausted, and hundreds of our soldiers are added. The battalion commander will hold an oath ceremony, and the battalion leader shouts, "Who are we?" The whole battalion, including our soldiers, yelled and replied "Nanjing Army", and the battalion commander asked again "Who is the most afraid of the little Japan?" "Which unit of the national army is the best in the world", the whole battalion yelled "Nanjing Army" together, the voice was earth-shattering, after three shouts of "Nanjing Army", it is really strange to say, those of us who have just been added to this battalion The soldiers in the camp all had eyes glowing like charcoal fire like the old members of the Nanjing Army of the battalion, and they would fight with their lives without fear of death.

I later asked Jiang Weiguo, and he said, "This is called the military spirit. The Nanjing Army is like a big tank full of military spirits. New members will be infected and nurtured by this overall atmosphere, so they have the military spirit of the Nanjing Army." , I seem to understand, but I don't really understand it!"

The 10th Division fought hard in Jiawang Town for ten days and nights, and hardly made any progress. Although it had invaded the town three times, it was immediately expelled by the defenders. More than 10 people, of whom more than [-] were killed in battle, and the defenders suffered more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] were killed in battle.

Furious and ashamed, Lieutenant General Jigu personally led the charge, but was almost shot dead by a Nanjing Army sniper.

After learning the battle report that "The Tenth Division was blocked in Jiawang Town", the general in the temple was very disturbed. After thinking twice, he believed that the Tenth Division had indeed tried its best, but it was difficult to effectively complete the task. He built three new divisions, so he decided to intensify the attack, ordering the 14th Division in western Xuzhou and the 7th Division in eastern Xuzhou to "attack with all their strength".

After receiving this order, the 14th and 7th Divisions, which were originally "merciful", immediately went all out, and the two brigades deliberately left behind by the two divisions were thrown into the front line together, which caused the pressure on the east and west wings of Xuzhou to increase sharply. .

More than 7 troops of the 60th Division, which landed completely in Lianyungang, stormed Donghai County, Tancheng County, Xinyi County and other places in the east of Xuzhou. More than half of them were killed or injured within a few days, and the casualty rate of the 58th Army at the front was as high as 58%. Sun Du, the commander of the army, asked Lu Han, the commander of the 60th army, to retreat.

Because the Dian Army performed well after participating in the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek approved the Dian Army to establish a second army, the 58th Army. Although the specifications of the 58th Army were the same as those of the 60th Army led by Lu Han, Because Lu Han was the number two figure in the Dian Army, Sun Du, the commander of the 58th Army, actually took orders from Lu Han.

Faced with Sun Du's pleading plea, Lu Han replied with a hard heart: "When we left Yunnan, thousands of Yunnan elders lined the road to see us off. We either died on the front line, or returned triumphantly. What face do you have to go back to Yunnan? If you die, returning your ashes to Yunnan is also a return to your hometown! I didn’t receive an order to retreat from Chief Li, so I can’t give you an order to retreat! I can only use what General Sun (Sun Lianzhong) said in Taierzhuang That sentence comes back to you, the soldiers fill it out, the officers fill it in, the officers fill it up, you fill it in, you fill it in, and I will fill it in!"

Sun Du hung up the phone with tears in his eyes, and personally led the guards into the battle. Two of the three commanders of the 58th Army died for their country. Among them, Liu Zhengfu, the commander of the new 10th Division, was hit by Japanese bullets when he was on the line of fire. He was killed by the head. Gong Shunbi, the commander of the new 13th division, was stabbed to death by the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat. Lu Daoyuan, the commander of the new 12th division, drew his gun and shouted to the sky when his position was surrounded by the Japanese army, "Only the Yunnan general who died in battle , There are no captured Yunnan generals, let alone surrendered Yunnan generals." When he shot himself, fortunately, several Chinese Air Force planes flew over to bomb them and blasted a gap in the Japanese encirclement line, allowing Lu Daoyuan and the guards to break through and escape.

The 58th Army was almost completely wiped out, with more than [-] casualties. Donghai County was immediately captured by the Japanese army. Lu Han revived his troops and launched a counterattack. No one came back”, the extreme guilt made him lead the guards to fight again in the counterattack, but was seriously injured by the Japanese artillery shells, and then died of his injuries.

Li Zongren then ordered Feng Zhi'an and Zhang Zizhong to rush to the eastern battlefield of Xuzhou, united with the Yunnan Army, and barely blocked the offensive of the 7th Division.

On the battlefield in the east of Xuzhou, the officers and soldiers of the Dian army fought eloquently. On the battlefield in the west of Xuzhou, the situation was completely opposite.

The focus of the battlefield in the west of Xuzhou was Shangqiu in eastern Henan. It was the 14th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked here. The division originally fought "half-heartedly", so that the 2nd Army of Liu Zhi's Department that defended Shangqiu has been "holding Shangqiu steadily". , As a result, after the 14th Division attacked and killed with all its strength, Liu Zhi was caught off guard and panicked. He led the guards and headquarters and retreated nearly [-] kilometers in one breath, making the entire group army leaderless and disintegrated. It was occupied by the Japanese army overnight.

Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, head of the 14th Division, is the leader of Japan's espionage activities against China and an expert in conspiracies and tricks. Time sent a large number of traitors and spies to infiltrate Shangqiu, and at the same time bought seven or eight regimental commanders and brigade commanders under Liu Zhi's subordinates with a lot of money. Give up the position to the Japanese army", so after he really attacked, Liu Zhi's troops were almost vulnerable.

The 14th Division captured Shangqiu without much effort. Immediately, the Japanese army drove straight in, almost as if they had entered an uninhabited territory, and rushed to the west of Xuzhou like a broken bamboo, and quickly approached the city of Dangshan County between Xuzhou and Shangqiu. The army is the 27th army, and the commander is Gui Yongqing. The army has 3 divisions, all of which are direct troops of the Central Army. Most of the officers and soldiers of the army are equipped with medium-sized rifles, and a small number of officers and soldiers are equipped with German 98k rifles. He was said to be an elite, but after the Japanese army came, Gui Yongqing was caught off guard and panicked like Liu Zhi's second. After barely holding on for three hours, Gui Yongqing saw that the situation was not going well, and ran away. The whole army was immediately defeated.

The 14th Division took Dangshan County lightly, and immediately attacked Yongcheng County in the south of Dangshan County without stopping. Huaibei County is directly east of Yongcheng County, and Huaibei County is the rear throat of Xuzhou.

The garrison of Yongcheng County is Huang Jie's 8th Army, which has 2 divisions under its jurisdiction. The situation is the same as Gui Yongqing's 27th Army. Not as good as Gui Yongqing, Gui Yongqing resisted for three hours anyway, while Huang Jie gave up guarding Yongcheng County almost without firing a single shot.

At this time, Li Zongren had sensed the great danger on the western flank and rear of Xuzhou, and sent five telegrams to Huang Jie, ordering him to stick to Yongcheng. Turning a deaf ear to him, he did not reply to Li Zongren, because he deliberately ordered someone to blow up the radio station with a grenade, so that when he was held accountable afterwards, he falsely claimed that "the radio station was blown up by Japanese artillery shells, and he failed to receive orders from the commander of the theater", so as to make excuses for running away. .

When he was about to flee, Huang Jie said to his subordinates: "Liu Zhi has a group army, and he ran away. Gui Yongqing has three divisions, and he also ran away. We only have two divisions. Why don't we run away?" He took Yongcheng County.

After the fall of Yongcheng, Li Zongren was shocked, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Wuhan, was also shocked: "One group army and two armies can't hold back a division of the Japanese army? It is simply the laughing stock of military strategists through the ages!"

Jiang Weiguo was shocked at first, and then flew into a rage: "Fuck! These three scumbags! They only care about their own lives, and they don't care about the overall situation of the war and the responsibilities on their shoulders! If they don't kill them, what is the reason for it!" He immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek. , "Please father immediately execute military law against Liu Zhi, Gui Yongqing, and Huang Jie who fled the battle."

Chiang Kai-shek replied: "I am ready to dismiss them and investigate!"

Jiang Weiguo was almost so angry that he wanted to laugh: "Remove and investigate? Father, as the commander, you must distinguish rewards and punishments! Otherwise, how can you convince the masses? Liu Zhi, Gui Yongqing, and Huang Jie must be executed! Correct the military law! Shock the army!"

Chiang Kai-shek replied after a while: "Although the three of Liu Guihuang made big mistakes, they all have old meritorious service and are loyal to the party and state. In addition, these three people have background connections, so they must be forgiven!"

Jiang Weiguo was almost furious: "These three people did not make mistakes, but committed crimes. They are almost going to be trapped in Xuzhou forever! The crime should be punished, how can it be tolerated? The merit is the merit, and the crime is the crime. How can they be confused? If they are loyal to the party and the country , will fight to the death to be loyal and be benevolent for the country, how can he be greedy for life and fear death, and run away? The military order is like a mountain, and the military law is ruthless. Once the military law is established, the order is prohibited! Liu Guihuang and the three are not dead. How can the party and the country die in the battle in the eastern part of Xuzhou? The three generals Sun Du, Liu Zhengfu, and Gong Shunbi? The local army did not retreat and was loyal to the country, but the central army feared the enemy like a tiger and fled without fighting. How can this be the case in the world? Liu Guihuang and the three are not dead. What is the law of the party and the state? The military law of the national army Where is it? What is the morale of the countless soldiers on the front line in Xuzhou?"

Chiang Kai-shek did not reply to Jiang Weiguo for a long time.

Jiang Weiguo was furious, and he sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek again: "Father will not kill, I will kill him!"

Chapter 359 The Decisive Battle in Xuzhou (4)

Chiang Weiguo spent more and more time with Chiang Kai-shek, so he naturally got to know Chiang Kai-shek more and more. To be honest, although Chiang Kai-shek has a stern and dark side, he really cannot be said to be cruel and murderous (except for the CCP), especially He treats his "own family members", especially his Whampoa students and confidantes, who are so "merciful" to the point of disregarding right from wrong. His students and confidants make big mistakes or even commit serious crimes, all they need is a handful of snot Begging for mercy tearfully, repeating "Principal/commissioner, how about you, student/low post, how about me", coupled with the intercession of others, Chiang Kai-shek will soften his heart nine times out of ten, and then forgive him.

Chiang Kai-shek is indeed not the kind of "tyrant" who wants people's heads at every turn. There was such an "interesting story" that a fire broke out in a material warehouse in charge of He Haoruo, the director of the National Government Materials Bureau, due to poor management. Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he learned about it. Angry, he asked He Haoruo to come over and give him an explanation. When He Haoruo opened his mouth to explain, Chiang Kai-shek angrily reprimanded, "Shoot!" But after several days, nothing happened. He Haoruo was puzzled. After inquiring, he found out that what Chiang Kai-shek said that day was "strong argument". He Haoruo was scared out of his wits.

This incident illustrates one point from the side: Chiang Kai-shek rarely kills his family members.

Don't you see, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Tang Shengzhi, Li Jishen, Shi Yousan... So many people turned against Chiang Kai-shek, but Chiang Kai-shek basically didn't kill them all.

Although this is the embodiment of Chiang Kai-shek's humanity, it is also an extremely serious shortcoming of him as a leader, that is, unclear rewards and punishments, and unfair handling of affairs.

Jiang Weiguo felt this more and more deeply: Chiang Kai-shek's "soft-heartedness" was very wrong. His "soft-heartedness" could certainly win people's hearts, and made many students and confidants who were not brought to justice because of his mercy were more sympathetic to him. Desperation, but it also caused the bad consequences of "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked". If you make a mistake or even commit a crime, you can be forgiven. Then, who will really fear the national law and military law?Some people in the central army are dissatisfied because of this, and the local army must be very dissatisfied. The logic is ready-made: someone is the old man's confidant student, so there is nothing wrong with disobeying orders and violating military discipline. Why should we fight devils desperately?The central army is greedy for life and fears death, and flees before the battle. What is our local army?

Jiang Weiguo firmly believes that: Liu Zhi, Gui Yongqing, and Huang Jie must be killed. Disobedience, disrespect, and violation of military discipline are capital crimes. If people are not killed, how can the military law be strictly enforced?Why deter the military?The national army is fighting the Japanese army in the meaningful battle of Xuzhou and even the decisive battle of Xuzhou. If the troops participating in the war follow the example of Liu Guihuang and the three of them, fearing the enemy like a tiger, fleeing without fighting, greedy for life and fear of death, and fleeing before the battle, how can this battle be fought? win?

Jiang Weiguo made up his mind that even if Chiang Kai-shek did not allow it, he would "behead Liu Guihuang and then play" for the overall situation of the War of Resistance.

Jiang Weiguo immediately found Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao was very supportive of Jiang Weiguo, and gave Jiang Weiguo an idea: "The principal may not be able to do anything, Liu Guihuang and the other three are not only his old subordinates and old students, but these three people are in the military and political circles of the government. They all have deep backgrounds and very complicated connections. If the principal sent someone to arrest these three people, they would probably push, drag, and research, and finally nothing would happen. Coupled with the intercession of others, the principal must be ignorant. Ruan, therefore, if you really want to kill these three people, you must arrest them before the principal!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again, "Should I do this?"

Xiao Yao said: "Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie have already retreated into Huaibei County. Sending military police to arrest people is easy to cause problems. Therefore, we should send a elite army to arrest people; as for Liu Zhi, he has already led his troops to retreat In Bozhou, which is more than 90 kilometers south of Shangqiu, this matter must be resolved quickly, if you act slowly, you will have long nights and dreams, and our arrest of Gui and Huang will easily alarm Liu Zhi, so let's send out airborne troops to arrest people!"

"Ah?" Jiang Weiguo was surprised, "Military division, you are too smart!"

The two were discussing, when Li Zongren walked in with a livid face: "Jian Hao! Liu Zhi, Gui Yongqing, Huang Jie..."

"Mr. Li!" Jiang Weiguo said loudly, "You don't need to say more about this matter. If you don't let these three bastards move their heads, I will move my head!"

Li Zongren was surprised. He originally planned to persuade Jiang Weiguo to put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek, so that the three of Liu Guihuang could be punished more severely. Although Li Zongren hated Liu Guihuang and the three of them, he knew well that all three It is Lao Jiang's person, and Lao Jiang will definitely not kill him. At most, he will dismiss his post and investigate and deal with it.

Li Zongren knows Chiang Kai-shek too well. Chiang Kai-shek is called the supreme leader of China, but he is actually the "general leader" of China in a state of disunity. The reason why he can be this "general leader" is because Chiang Kai-shek is the strongest. To put it bluntly, if there is no orthodoxy of the central government In terms of fame, Chiang Kai-shek is also one of the many warlords in China, and he is the most powerful one.

Chiang Kai-shek controls the whole country, what does he rely on?Relying on his direct line troops of the Central Army and Whampoa confidantes, so Chiang Kai-shek would not kill his own people easily. If he killed too many, wouldn't it damage his own strength?From the very beginning, Li Zongren believed that the three of Liu Guihuang could not die. At most, he hoped that Chiang Kai-shek could give Liu Guihuang and the three of them a symbolic sentence of several years in prison, so as to have an explanation for the soldiers of the national army on the Xuzhou battlefield. Thinking of it, Jiang Weiguo's attitude was so clear that it could be called murderous, and he directly asked for the lives of Liu Guihuang and the three of them.

"Jianhao, you..." Li Zongren was surprised at first, and then sighed, "You are truly terrifying!"

Without Chiang Kai-shek's explicit consent, Jiang Weiguo launched a vigorous arrest operation.

Liu Zhi, Gui Yongqing, and Huang Jie never dreamed that Jiang Weiguo would show no mercy, no ambiguity, and no hesitation to kill them.

Liu Zhi who fled to Bozhou, and Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie who fled to Huaibei were still in shock, but Lieutenant General Doihara had no time to kill them all, so they had a chance to breathe.

The three of them knew that they had caused a catastrophe. However, the three of them were not particularly frightened, because the three of them believed that their lives were safe. As Chiang Kai-shek's confidants, this status was originally a gold medal for avoiding death, so they were confident. They are very clear about Chiang Kai-shek's bottom line, as long as he does not vote for the Communist Party, surrender to the sun, or treason, he will not be beheaded.

There is no guilt, self-blame, pain, or annoyance in the minds of the three of them, because the three of them don't have much sense of responsibility for running away, giving up the position, and a series of evil consequences brought about by their actions. If they had, they would not be so They did it, and they didn't think about how the battle situation in Xuzhou would deteriorate because of themselves, what to do about the consequences, what to do about the battle, etc. They only thought about how to find excuses to shirk responsibility when they met Chiang Kai-shek in the future, how to fight They complained to Chiang Kai-shek with snot and tears, how to find a network of contacts to help intercede, if they are really upset, they are also upset about their own bad luck, being pushed to the Japanese bayonet to fight with the Japanese army. Their career prospects are greatly affected.

The three of them took it for granted that they would not die, nor would they go to jail. At most, they would be scolded by Chiang Kai-shek first, and then they would be punished for a major demerit that was neither painful nor itchy. Of course, although the "dismissal" is true, it is only temporary, and even, it is not "dismissal" but "demotion". As for "investigation", it is completely for outsiders to see.

In Huaibei City, Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie received a telegram from Li Zongren: "Gather the troops and stick to Huaibei on the spot. The commander-in-chief of the war zone has dispatched capable troops to reinforce your two troops!" Soon, Li Zongren's troops arrived , It is indeed a "powerful force", with more than 1000 elite infantrymen armed to the teeth, riding on dozens of large trucks, and even a dozen light tanks and armored vehicles leading the charge. In addition, there are hundreds of people with live ammunition , The murderous cavalry, these troops are all from Jiang Weiguo's 117th Division, the infantry is the Nanjing Army, and the cavalry is the Majia Army, but they came to Huaibei City not to reinforce the Gui and Huang, but to arrest the Gui and Huang.

Leading the team was Luo Long, a young officer of Jiang Weiguo's "Ning family" and the deputy head of the lieutenant colonel.

Seeing Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie who came to greet him, Luo Long, who was riding on a No. 27 tank, did not go down at all. He glanced at Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie indifferently, took out a document, and read out sullenly: "After investigation, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, commander of the 8th Army of the National Army, and Lieutenant General Huang Jie, commander of the [-]th Army, disobeyed the orders of the commanders of the theaters in the battles of Dangshan County and Yongcheng County respectively. Fleeing in front of the battle, acting badly and with solid evidence, seriously violating the laws of the country, the law and the military, and under the order of Chief Li, arrest Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie!"

Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie were dumbfounded, Luo Long waved his hand violently: "Take it!"

Dozens of Nanjing Army soldiers with loaded submachine guns jumped out of the military vehicle and pointed their guns at Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie.
