Chapter 60: Rehe is in crisis (2)

Kojiki Kōaki nodded thoughtfully and said, "This unit is the unit reorganized by the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army, which had fought fiercely with our Kwantung Army in Beidaying, which caused more than 2,000 imperial troops to be broken. They were originally the elite headquarters of the Northeast Army. However, later Zhang Xuewu seemed to have obtained the approval and approval of Zhang Hanqing, so he actually took the officers and soldiers of his troops directly to Lao Chiang in Nanjing. The forces of the Kuomintang Central Army have always wanted to enter the Northeast China. This time, Zhang Xuewu's headquarters entered Rehe may also provide a very good opportunity for the Nanjing government."

Muto Nobuyi nodded and turned his eyes to Okamura Yasuji. Okamura Yasuji, who was encouraged and signaled, stepped forward: "Your Excellency Commander, Your Chief of Staff, the subordinate's view is that we can directly ignore this force strategically, but we must pay great attention to it in tactical terms."

Muto Nobuyoshi was slightly stunned and frowned. There was obviously a huge contradiction in Okamura's words. Koikiki nodded and said, "Okamura has amazing unique insights about Manchuria and China! No matter the army of any country in the world, the word "first" cannot be used casually. The Empire's Guard Division and the First Cavalry Division of the founding state of Washington in the United States are all elite! However, the entry of this new first division under Zhang Xuewu into Rehe was definitely a wrong deployment by the National Government. Rehe was the territory of the Northeast Army. Tang Yulin regarded it as a forbidden corpse.

Even Zhang Xueliang is difficult to intervene. A Central Army division is stationed next to Tang Yulin's pillow. Will Tang Yulin have a better life? Moreover, the Kuomintang government's army in North China only has the 17th Army outside the newly formed First Division, and the rest of the troops are Northeast Army, Northwest Army, Jin Army, etc. Once our army attacks Rehe, it will be difficult for these chaotic and selfish local troops to be unified and selfish to form effective defense. Therefore, we can ignore Zhang Xuewu's troops strategically, but we must attach great importance to this third army in the Chinese government army that is guided by German military advisers and armed with German equipment."

Muto Nobuyi took a deep breath and said, "The main military forces of China's Nanjing government are concentrated in the south to wipe out the Communist Party. This is the best opportunity for us to seize Rehe! The Empire has given some instructions. The League of Nations will make a vote that is unfavorable to the Empire in February. Our Kwantung Army will show the world our military power at a critical time and cooperate with political actions. Please! There is another key point in this Battle of Rehe, that is, I want to wipe out Zhang Xuewu's new first division, and give the Nanjing government, which has always adopted a non-cooperation attitude, a wake-up call, let them know that any resistance will be ruthlessly crushed and crushed in front of the Imperial Imperial Army's chariot!"

Hi! Koiki Aki and Okamura Yasuji immediately stood up and nodded in tribute!

After Koiki Aki and Okamura Nagaji left, Muto Nobuyi opened a letter and wrote down the words "Ministry Minister of the Army" at the beginning. The words "Ministry Jiro" were met. After hesitating for a while, Muto Nobuyi gently placed the pen on the table and slowly leaned on the chair and breathed a long sigh.

The Japanese repeatedly claimed that Rehe belonged to Manchuria. According to the Japan-Manchurian Common Defense Agreement, the Kanto Army was responsible for the obligation and power to defend Manchuria's territory. Therefore, a large number of Japanese troops and military supplies landed from Busan, North Korea, and arrived in Jinzhou through Andong. The Japanese army's military front was already clear.

Even Chiang Kai-shek, who was in charge of command and suppression in Nanchang, could not sit still and urgently sent Song Ziwen and He Yingqin to form a central military expedition to Beiping and Rehe to inspect and supervise the war. In the waves of anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese and boycotting Japanese goods in China, Chiang Kai-shek also realized the mistakes in his previous policies. His mistakes were too rational and in line with reality.

You should know that the nationalist craze and patriotic passion are selfless. The disadvantage of too many rationality is that they will give people an illusion of weakness. This weakness is the least acceptable to patriotic youth and ordinary people, so you would rather give up some interests than be excited!

The Japanese's aggressiveness made Chiang Kai-shek angry, and even clay figures could force him out a little bit of fire! Song Ziwen's purpose of going to Rehe, Beiping as the representative of the central government was to make Zhang Xueliang clear about the Central Committee's determination this time. Chiang Kai-shek drew three divisions from the front line to Zhengzhou at night as the reserve force of Xu Tingyao's 17th Army. However, He Yingqin's identity was a bit embarrassing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly. The purpose of He Yingqin and others to go to Peking was actually to clean up the mess for Zhang Xueliang under the conditions that he had no choice.

Before the war began, he was thinking about cleaning up the mess. I am afraid that no one would be happy. So after He Yingqin and Song Ziwen arrived in Peiping, He Yingqin stayed in Peiping on the pretext of transporting military supplies. Song Ziwen took more than 20 people from the Central Inspection Team to Chengde, the capital of Rehe.

On February 2, 22nd year of the Republic of China, after Shanhaiguan was lost, the situation in Rehe became extremely tense. Even He Yingqin, who was staying in the supervision of Peking, could no longer sit firmly on Diaoyutai. He inspected the preparations for various units of Rehe with Song Ziwen. As the new first division of the Central Army stationed in Rehe, He Yingqin's focus was on this trip.

On the platform of Chengde Railway Station, the cold wind is a five-step, one post, two-step one whistle, which is very vigilant. The water towers and corner towers near the railway station were arranged with guard forces and even telephones were installed. The infiltration of Japanese and puppet spies incoming into Zhang Xueliang had to be vigilant. The special train had not arrived yet, but the officials from all walks of life who came to greet had been waiting for a long time. Because they could not withstand the severe cold, most people entered the waiting room to keep the fire and keep warm.

Unlike these generals wearing thick furs, Zhang Xuewu was wearing standard uniforms. Even the thick tweed coats that seemed quite thick in the past looked very thin. Zhang Xueliang, who was still wearing a long fur, still felt the cold wind shining on the platform. He felt a little reluctant to look at Zhang Xuewu, who was blushing but standing in the wind, said: "Chengwen! Come in and warm up for a while! Why are you a great teacher wearing this? Are you afraid of your life? Where did the thick fur your sister-in-law give you? That's my best piece. Wan Fulin joked with me back then, I didn't sell it even though I didn't sell it."

Zhang Xuewu sniffed his nose and said, "The officers and soldiers below are probably not as thick as mine. They have been frozen for more than three hours. If this special train does not come, it will freeze people. If it is really not good, the guard of honor will withdraw first. Will the guard of honor be replaced? Will the guard of the war will take turns to take the test? "

Zhang Xueliang looked around the soldier who was trembling in the cold wind, and he touched a soldier's cotton coat helplessly. His face suddenly changed. He seemed to hesitate and nodded slightly. Zhang Xuewu knew that Zhang Xueliang also discovered that the soldier looked at the brand new cotton coat and was actually cut corners. One piece of cotton made of five cotton coats. Can such cotton coats keep the cold? This is probably the tip of the iceberg on the surface. Many things in China cannot withstand seriousness.

After giving the order to withdraw the guard of honor to replace the fire, several subordinate officers from the Northeast Army looked at Zhang Xuewu's back with gratitude because they had heard and witnessed the conversation just now.

Zhang Xueliang then turned the topic back and said, "Look at your soldiers all have a sheepskin shoulder. Are you a dignified major general and commander really not cold or are you resistant to freezing? Could it be that you gave you the thick fur I gave you to the woman I thought about?"

Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned, and stomped his feet with a numbness and said, "The beauty of the Republic of China is beautiful all over the world. That means you, brother. I sold the thick fur you gave me to a fur merchant in Peking. I knew that the thing was yours, so I paid a big price. I raised some of it, so I bought a sheepskin vest for everyone in the teacher, including myself, to keep warm. Today isn't welcoming Dean Song! Wearing a sheepskin vest is a foggy look, why don't you give me a thick fur?"

Zhang Xueliang was shocked after hearing Zhang Xuewu's words, and turned around and looked at Zhang Xuewu meaningfully: "I am not as good as you in leadership troops! I would rather keep the people under me in warm clothes. Some people say that you are the best at winning people's hearts, and I can't help but feel it! But you should also pay attention to your health. If you don't get a salary, you will naturally have no extra money. Looking back, I asked Yu Xuezhong to pay you a special fund of 500,000 yuan, and you must have a limit to being mean to yourself. If the Japanese really come here, I will inevitably push you down the fire pit!"
