Chapter 182: Confrontation

Chapter 182 Confrontation
Beijing Feng Railway, Peiping Station.
The Beijing-Pingping Railway Beiping Station has long been guarded by soldiers of the Southwest Army. A train coming from the Ningjin Defense Line has just entered the station. After the battle on the Tianjin-Beijing Battlefield ended, this Beijing-Finjing Railway that was related to the life and death of the Ningjin Defense Line was finally Escaped the bad luck cut off by the Japanese.
"salute"
The train stopped, and a group of southwestern army officers and soldiers alighted in the front passenger compartment. At first, there was a shining general on the shoulders, and a high-ranking high-ranking military uniform made of southwest specialty products. This person was actually a major general in the southwest.
"General Huo, Deputy Admiral Wang, Wang Jun, head of the First Regiment of the Fourth Division, welcomes two to Peiping."
It was Wang Jun who was responsible for picking up the car.
In order to support Zhang Xueliang's resistance to the Ningjin Defense Line, the Southwest Army executed Zhang Shusheng's order after the Beijing-Tianjin Conference, and partially stored artillery and ammunition, as well as light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns, at the Jingfeng Railway Station. The car went north and continued to participate in the battle with the Japanese army.
"Lieutenant Colonel Wang Jun, we meet again."
"Report instructor, the 9th issue of Huaxia Military Academy, Wang Jun, an infantry scientist, reports to you."
"Haha, all right, all have become heads."
Huo Weiguo was familiar with Wang Jun. When he served as the staff of the Southwest Army, he taught Wang Jun just a part-time at the Huaxia Military Academy. Time flies. The staff of that year is now a major general, and the students have also become the head of the main division.
Wu Zhengde also returned a military salute. Now the relationship between the two sides is close. Only his deputy Zhang Xueliang knows best. As a special commander of the young marshal, he has received this batch of equipment with Huo Weiguo to Peiping, but also to see the higher level in the southwest. Officials. "The head of the king has worked hard, and your army has fought fiercely. It is really admirable that the victory of Tianjin and Beijing has just been achieved."
"Lieutenant Li is very polite. The Northeast Army played very well in Jinzhou. Lieutenant Li is also often fighting on the front line." Wang Jun is not a nonsense. There are several scars on the Zheng Zhengde face, the most amazing scar. The corner position was pulled to the corner of the eye, and those who had been on the battlefield knew that the bullet was rubbing their heads.
With some kindness, the three boarded a jeep and went to the Southwest Army station in Peiping.
Huo Weiguo looked at the undulating scenery outside the car window, but thought of the current situation in Peiping.
After the Southwest Army defeated the Japanese army and won the Tianjin-Beijing battle, a problem arose.
The high-level officials of both parties issued orders for the rapid control of Beiping and Tianjin.
Tianjin City, because the Southwest Army sneaked into the city from the tunnel, after the end of the battle, the two regiments quickly controlled all parts of Tianjin City, opened the gate, and only allowed the Southwest Army to enter the city.
The thunderous Nanjing government set its sights on Peiping.
Although the Nanjing government was extremely furious, when the two armies signed the "May 1 Cooperation Agreement" to fight together, there was no clear stipulation on the distribution of spheres of influence after the war.
Perhaps at that time, the Nanjing National Government was not very optimistic about the battle, or perhaps it did not expect that the war would end so soon. When the problem was on the table, the Nanjing government realized that the southwest was also sending troops and tens of thousands of troops. In the field, it is impossible to go back empty-handed, and always get something to count.
As a result, Chen Cheng, commanded by Chairman Jiang's death, immediately proceeded to take over Beiping.
Almost at the same time, Chen Jun also ordered the eighth division of the Guardian Division, which had previously been replaced for excuses, to quickly take over Beiping.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Chen Cheng didn't dare to open fire with the Southwest Army. He ordered the troops to enter the city from the North Gate, and the Southwest Army entered the city from the East Gate. In the two halves, the North City is under control, and the South City is under the control of the Southwest Army.
Tianjin City, under the strength of the bayonet on the Southwest Army rifle, Chen Cheng had to give up after receiving the latest instructions from Nanjing.
Today, it seems that the Southwest Army has taken a little advantage. In fact, if it was not the tunnel leading to the city of Tianjin, the result of the Tianjin-Beijing battle would be divided equally between the two parties.
It is not that Zhang Shusheng wanted to be "fried too quickly", but only because of the Northeast war, in order to make Ning Jin's defense line foolproof, he decided to take the city and one place. Tianjin is near the sea and the terrain is much better than Peiping. Take it decisively.
As for Peiping, there are other considerations.
Chen Jun and Jiang Baili are seated in Tianjin, while the Nancheng of Peiping City is led by Ye Jianxiong, the eighth division commander. The eighth division of the Eighth Division, which relies on the main force to enter the city, and Daxing Airport, which is close to the south city, can be regarded as a stable place in the southwest of Beiping. The ground is in his hands.
"Patriotic nation."
When the two Huo Weiguo came to the Eighth Division, they unexpectedly met Jiang Baili. When Huo Weiguo was brought back to the southwest by Cai Yan that year, he worshiped Cai Yan as a teacher. Naturally, Jiang Baili was also regarded as his uncle.
"Chief of Staff" Huo Weiguo and Wang Jun looked at Jiang Baili at first glance and immediately saluted.
Accompanied by Ye Jianxiong, the eighth division commander of Weiyi, Xi Zhengde went to visit the demonstration of the results of the Beijing-Tianjin operation. He came to Peiping for another important task and also had to contact high-level officials in the southwest. Housework, I did not rush to see Jiang Baili.
In addition to a clerk of the staff, only Huo Weiguo and Jiang Baili were in the house.
"Chief of Staff, what is the situation in Jinjing now?" As a member of the Southwest, this is Huo Weiguo's most concerned thing. After he took the seat, he asked about the current situation.
Jiang Baili opened a map clearly marking the comparative map of the distribution of forces between the Southwest Army and the Beijing-Tianjin area.
"From the current point of view, Tianjin City is under the firm control of our army. Chen Cheng was afraid that the two armies would clash and gave up his intention to force the troops into the city. Now, in addition to controlling Tianjin, a coastal city, Beiping Nancheng is also We are firmly in control.
However, after all, both sides of the Tianjin-Beijing campaign contributed a lot, and nominally, Tianjin and Peiping are also within the sphere of influence of the Kuomintang. In order to dispel the possible hatred against us at the grass-roots level and to find an excuse, we declared that we were stationed in Tianjin to prevent The Ning Jin defense line changed, preparing for the subsequent anti-Japanese war. As for Peiping, Foreign Minister Li Zongren has personally called the Nanjing government, stating that the Southwestern government is willing to negotiate with the Kuomintang over Peiping's garrison. "
Huo Weiguo nodded. Although the Southwest did indeed want to occupy Tianjin and leave a northern forward base, but if it was withdrawn, the entire army would wave back to the Southwest. That is to say, the Japanese army may come back and launch the battle to liberate the Northeast in the future. Will be tied up.
And if the Ningjin defense line is breached by the Japanese army, the Beijing-Tianjin area, which took a lot of effort to keep the Japanese army alone because it is difficult to resist the Japanese army southward, is likely to fall again.
This is why Chiang Kai-shek did not completely tear his face. Since he wants to draw the Southwest Army into the queue of resistance to the Japanese army, it is necessary to provide a station for the Southwest. Obviously, Tianjin will become the forward base of the Southwest Army when occupied. It will be taken back through negotiation.
"In the direction of Jinzhou, the Japanese army ’s offensive momentum has not been as violent as in the previous months. There are signs that the Japanese army is building a strong position in the direction of Jinzhou. From all indications, the Japanese army is very likely to give up its plan to break through the Ningjin defense line. And entered the defensive operation, intending to digest the entire northeast. "Huo Weiguo, as the general counsel of the volunteer army, is still very clear about the strategic situation. At this time, if the southwest and the Kuomintang side let go of all their prejudices and form the coalition northward, it is very likely that Recaptured the Northeast, but he knew that this was just wishful thinking as a soldier, and whether it was Southwest or Chiang Kai-shek, he would not go north rashly again.
Since Zhang Xueliang has not been defeated, he can only continue to insist. The reason that the battle between Tianjin and Beijing touched the nerves of both sides was that the Japanese stretched their hands too long, and both sides could not tolerate the loss of the entire north of North China.
Similarly, it is impossible for the two sides to actively mobilize the army to go northward in the face of domestic confrontation and plunge their elites into the Northeast War of Liberation, which may be in the foreseeable future.
"How is Zhang Xueliang doing his job?" This is a question that Jiang Baili is very concerned about. In the next series of strategic plans, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army will be a key chess piece.
"The plan is progressing smoothly. Before I left, Wang Gongliang was officially seconded and appointed as the 17th Division Commander of the Northeast Army. Many other officers have already entered the Northeast Army's General Staff to take up posts and work. Our people They all performed well, dared to fight, and never regarded the war as a matter of the Northeast Army. A volunteer officer named Chai Chun, when he was serving as the head of the recruit barracks, actually pulled a recruit in a regiment during an emergency. Supported and held the precarious position. Zhang Xueliang promoted him to the rank of new recruit because of his outstanding performance. "
In fact, Huo Weiguo was able to stand out and serve as the general counsel of the Southwest Volunteer Army in the direction of Jinzhou because the plan itself was proposed by him. A series of plans surrounding the draw of Zhang Xueliang were formulated before the Japanese attacked Jinzhou.
In the end, it was Chiang Kai-shek who was too timid at the time, while Zhang Xueliang alone blocked the Japanese army, waiting for the two sides to weaken each other before sending troops. On the one hand, Chen Cheng was dispatched to the Tianjin area, which included Jin Jing in the KMT's line of influence.
In the face of tight fighting, Zhang Xueliang only had assistance from the southwest. In addition, although the KMT also provided some supplies, it was not sent to the army. Instead, several so-called battlefield agents made the young commander extremely hot.
When the Southwest moves in Jinzhou more and more, and the news from various quarters is getting more and more unfavorable, Nanjing is finally preparing to mobilize heavy troops to support the Ning Jin defense line northward, but the Tianjin-Beijing battle broke out.
"Well, the Kuomintang side can't make any move to control Jinzhou for the time being. You have to further do Zhang Xueliang's job. It's this Zheng Zhengde, since you are Zhang Xueliang's messenger, did you know some of his cards?" Jiang Baili reminded.
"I don't know. I deliberately used his words along the way, but this person is also a personal person. Gu Zuo said he is, but I think it should not be a big problem."
The two also talked about some of the key points of the Northeast plan, so that people could retrieve Ye Jianxiong who was walking, and Jiang Baili and he would have a secret meeting.
They didn't know what to say, but only knew that Jiang Baili finally sent Ji Zhengde to the command department and waved goodbye with a smile.
"The chief of staff is in a good mood." Ye Jianxiong said jokingly, and he could also guess what breakthrough the two people's secret talks had achieved.
"You boy, let's go and accompany me to the drama. Once the battle has stopped, I'm going to talk about the old tone of this Peiping opera garden." Jiang Baili thought of a secret conversation with Yun Zhengde, and he was in a good mood.
In August 1932, the Southwest and Kuomintang armies, which had just won the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, did not wave their troops northward as expected by the domestic population, but instead stationed in Beijing and Tianjin. The Kuomintang troops need excuses for logistical excuses because of their lack of logistics, saying that the restoration of the Northeast should be done slowly.
The Southwest also consumes huge ammunition and needs time to rest, but promises that the Southwest Army will never return to the Southwest until the Northeast is liberated.
At the end of August 1932, after negotiations, the Southwest Army withdrew from Peiping and handed the city of Peiping to the Kuomintang government, but it would station troops on the front line of Tianjin-Langfang-Daxing Airport.
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Jun, who was checking the military situation, looked up, but saw the chief of staff Jiang Baili pushed the door and walked over.
"What is Chen Jun."
"It's the chief of staff. Please sit down. I'm watching a decree issued by the military. Please come and have tea."
Knowing that Jiang Baili must have received the notice of the order, Chen Jun talked about the order he had received after pouring tea for Jiang Baili.
"Don't understand the decision of the military?"
The military ministry ordered that half of the plane at Daxing Airport should be transferred back to the southwest. Although Jiang Baili, the chief of staff, was far away in Tianjin, he was also consulted by Zhang Shusheng.
"Nothing, I wonder if there is any new combat plan for the Ministry of Military Affairs." Chen Jun did not ask Jiang Baili. He knew that he should not know the military situation, and he didn't need to know it. Although the chief of staff was in front of him, but discipline Like a mountain.
"Relax ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Your kid won't be lonely in Tianjin. Have you read the report in the morning? The KMT is just moving." That's why Jiang Baili went to Chen Jun in person.
"Well, judging from the information, it seems that the Nanjing side has a plan, and we need to strengthen our vigilance."
"It's just what I want, come, let's discuss how to arrange it, Daxing Airport, Langfang, Tianjin ... the front line is more stable." Jiang Baili walked to the map and discussed with Chen Jun the changes in military deployment that need to be made just in case. .
In September 1932, the Kuomintang army stole the cultural relics of the Forbidden City in Peiping under the pretext of Daxing Airport. A first-class force surrounded the Daxing Airport aggressively, intent on armed takeover of the Daxing Airport, and ended up confronting a southwest garrison based on a position. Although no fighting broke out between the two sides, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Chen Cheng ordered the eighth division to support the blocked first division, and the Southwest Army urgently mobilized the fourth main division from Langfang to Daxing Airport.
The situation in Beijing and Tianjin was tense again, and a storm came.
The plot is a bit stuck, sorry for the late update.
