Chapter 465 When the reorganization is in progress
In the former First Army Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Army Commander Hu Zongnan was restlessly waiting for news from the Confidential Section. Sitting next to him were several division commanders of the First Army and several military chiefs.
While Hu Zongnan was waiting impatiently, the confidential section chief came over.
"How's it going? Is there any news? What did the Chairman say?" Hu Zongnan couldn't wait to step forward and asked.
The head of the confidential section shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "No, the Chairman has never heard back."
"Military seat, we can't wait any longer. Hu Lian's 41st Army Group arrived in Wuning last night, and they will arrive in Nanchang at any time. If we don't accept the reorganization, what awaits us will be a devastating blow.
Ah," the deputy commander on the side said anxiously.
Although the division commanders did not speak, the anxious eyes they looked at Hu Zongnan said everything.
Just a week ago, Su Tong issued a reorganization order in the name of the President of the Republic of China, ordering all troops across the country to accept reorganization. From now on, the names of all Chinese armies will be changed to the Chinese National Defense Force. If there are any troops that are unwilling to accept reorganization
Political axes will be regarded as rebels and will receive the harshest blows.
Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army stationed in Xuzhou three days ago refused to accept reorganization on the grounds that it had not received orders from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. It was surrounded by the 42nd Group Army led by Luo Zhuoying, and then Qiu Qingquan's 3rd Group Army
The armored division and more than 100 aircraft took the lead and penetrated Tang Enbo's headquarters in Xuzhou City. Under the threat of more than 300 tanks, more than 200 infantry fighting vehicles and hundreds of aircraft, Tang Enbo's departments remained silent and did not dare to act rashly.
Qiu Qingquan watched as Qiu Qingquan arrested Tang Enbo, and sent a special plane to take Tang back to Nanjing for trial. According to a well-informed source in Nanjing, Tang hit an iron plate this time, and he would probably have to sit through the bottom of the prison even if he died.
.
With this living example, the remaining departments of the former Central Army and the motley crew from various places who refused to accept reorganization began to waver in their thinking.
"Military seat, the Chairman is calling." While Hu Zongnan was hesitating, a report sounded at the door.
"Read it quickly" several people in the room shouted in unison.
"The reorganization of the entire army is a national event. Those who follow it will prosper and those who go against it will perish. For the sake of the country and the nation, we should all respond and obey the new president's orders. From now on, there will be no post of chairman of the general committee. We should unite sincerely to build national defense.
Work hard with new strength.”
Chiang Kai-shek on October 21, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China. After listening to the telegram, everyone in the military headquarters slumped on their chairs as if their bones had been removed, but at the same time there was a hint of relief in their eyes.
.With this order, we no longer have to fight with each other, and the First Army has also avoided the danger of destruction.
Hu Zongnan and his colleagues in the First Army knew clearly that although the First Army was known as the most elite of the former Central Army and had more than 50,000 troops under its command, it was still inferior to the 41st Group Army led by Hu Lian who was approaching at a rapid speed.
It's really nothing. Let's not mention those aircraft and heavy artillery. The Second Armored Division that rushed over at once was enough for them to drink. Besides, this is still a civil war. If you lose, you will be a prisoner. If you win, you will be a prisoner.
They will be infamy. Now that even Chairman Chiang has given in, do their subordinates still need to hold on?
"Report, the leading troops of the Second Armored Division have arrived outside Nanchang City. Commander Hu Lian and Division Commander Wu Jilong ordered us to open the city gate to welcome the troops into the city." Another voice rang at the door.
Hu Zongnan gave a bitter smile and said, "Order the city defense troops to open the city gate and tell Commander Hu that the humble general will personally come out of the city to greet you."
Outside Nanchang City, Hu Zongnan and Hu Lian, who had led the army in person, were relatively speechless. Looking at the high-spirited Hu Lian with two shining gold stars on his shoulders, Hu Zongnan couldn't help but smile bitterly. They were both students from Huangpu. The fourth-grade elementary school student in front of him
He is already the commander-in-chief of more than 200,000 well-equipped and well-trained troops, but because he has the wrong boss, his future is uncertain. The difference is huge.
"Boyu, congratulations to you. You are the fastest-promoting person in the fourth phase of Huangpu." Hu Zongnan said with emotion.
Hu Lian just smiled faintly and said, "Senior Shoushan, you are exaggerating. I am just grateful for the president's wrong love. You and I are both Huangpu classmates. If there is any need for senior's care in the future, I hope senior will take care of you."
Hu Lian's words felt uncomfortable in Hu Zongnan's ears, and his face condensed, "Boyu, are you making fun of me?"
Hu Lian said sternly: "Senior, don't be angry. I'm just telling the truth. When the junior came, the president specially told me that when the senior comes to Nanjing, he will enter the newly established National Defense University for three to six months to study. Mr. Baili will
He and the president will personally teach everyone. After coming out, the president will have another important role."
"Oh." All the generals behind Hu Zongnan were moved. Who is Jiang Baili? He is known as the master of modern Chinese military art. As the president of China, Su Tongni, for them to teach Hu Zongnan, is not an ordinary honor. This is
What does it mean? This means that after graduation, Hu Zongnan will not only not be marginalized, but will definitely be reused. Now Hu Zongnan can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
But Hu Zongnan felt bright in his heart. He knew that Hu Lian must have a second order against him. If he refused to accept the reorganization, his fate would definitely not be much better than Tang Enbo.
Hu Lian then asked with a smile: "Who is Senior Du Guangting?"
At this time, a tall major general with a majestic face stepped out of the queue and saluted, "Du Yuming, the humble commander of the 200th Division, has met Commander Hu."
After seeing it, Hu Lian secretly admired what a great general he is. Then he said seriously: "Senior Guangting, you also have an order from the Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry of National Defense ordered you to immediately hand over the troops to the deputy division commander and go to Chahar.
Study at the Armored Forces Academy for half a year. After half a year, when you are successful in your studies, you will be allowed to form an armored force. The president also specifically asked me to tell you, so that you can study with peace of mind. After half a year, you will have another important use."
"Yes." Du Yuming didn't know whether he was sad or happy in his heart. He just responded mechanically and then fell silent.
The reorganization storm carried out by Su Tong began to spread, starting from the Central Army of the former National Congress Party, and finally to the miscellaneous armies of warlords from various places. Su Tong also ordered several newspapers to follow up the entire process and report almost every day.
It came out that which army had been reorganized and which army had been disbanded. Which general was transferred to the military academy for training, which warlords refused to be reorganized and were disarmed, and which ones refused.
Disarmed diehards were shot to death, etc.
For a time, there were calls for reorganization all over the country, and Su Tong also repeatedly stated in newspapers and telegrams that the pay and ordnance of the reorganized troops would be the same as those of the original Chahar troops, and the abolished troops and personnel would be in accordance with the regulations.
Military ranks are allocated severance pay, and the amount that each military rank should receive is clearly written in the newspaper. If someone receives a severance pay that is inconsistent with what is written in the newspaper, they can report it to the military supervision department at any time, and the supervision department will intervene in the investigation.
Once found out, they will be severely punished.
That's what the newspapers said, and it was also done. At the beginning of the demobilization, there were still many people who did not believe in evil and were willing to test the law with their own hands in an attempt to enrich their own pockets. Therefore, several dull gunshots could be heard at the Nanjing law field almost every day.
Sound, that is the moth in the army who was sentenced to death by the military court.
Su Tong also ordered newspapers to report every day the ranks, positions and reasons for the executions of those who were shot. Su Tong's iron-blooded approach greatly shocked a large number of personnel. In the first three months of reorganization, the number of people who were shot turned out to be
It has reached more than 1,600 people. This number has stunned the foreign media. They cannot understand why so many people are still trying to test the law under such a severe criminal law. Is the charm of money really so?
Is it big?
Some Western media also called Su Tong the butcher president, saying that more than 2,000 people have been shot by Su Tong since he took office. This is rare in world history and extremely inhumane. Su Tong did not respond to these reports.
He sneered. He believed that the original logistics department of the National Congress Party was rotten to the core. Even if Su Tong increased their salary several times after the reorganization, it could not reduce their greed at all. They are used to stretching their hands and are facing the temptation of money.
They can't resist the temptation no matter what. Only bloody heads can make them stop their greedy black hands.
At the Vice Presidential Palace in Nanjing, Vice President Chiang returned home after a long day of business and saw several familiar faces sitting at home. His wife and son were talking with them. The Chairman saw that it was his wife.
Sister Song Ailing and his eldest son Kong Lingkan.
Seeing her husband come back, Mrs. Jiang quickly stepped forward and pulled off her husband's coat. Vice President Jiang smiled and said to Song Ailing: "It turns out that the eldest sister and Ling Kan are here. It's really rare. I will definitely have a light meal here later."
Song Ailing and Kong Lingkan agreed with a smile. After a while, dinner was served at home, and the six of them sat down one after another. Vice President Chiang did not eat at the dinner table, but drank a glass of boiled water quietly. Mrs. Chiang took a look.
He asked: "Darling, where have you eaten again?"
Vice President Jiang nodded, "I can't help it. Jianming's wife is due to give birth in a few days. Jianming said that he would treat everyone to a simple meal at home. It's hard to refuse such hospitality, and I can't help it."
Mrs. Jiang couldn't laugh or cry, "This Jianming, why didn't I realize before that he likes to treat guests to dinner so much?"
Vice President Chiang also looked helpless. Since Su Tong became the president, in his spare time from work, his hobby is to call our Vice President Chiang and Vice President Gu, who is also a member of the Socialist Party, as well as senior political leaders.
Eating at home. In this guy's words, it is to cultivate feelings and enhance understanding. I never thought that it would become a habit. We also deepened our understanding while eating together.
