May 5, the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China (1939).
Just when the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the 2nd Army, and the 3rd Army were competing to break out the anti-communist wave, a mutiny suddenly occurred in the 39th Army in the Taihang Mountains. The Army Commander-in-Chief Yue Weihan and the Chief of Staff Liu Yi were inspecting the defense of Tumen Fortress.
, was suddenly detained by Li Qinglong. Upon hearing the news, Chi Chengfeng, Cao Xinglong, and Li Yulong immediately led their troops to surround Tumen Fortress.
Suddenly, the entire Tumen Fortress was filled with clouds of war, and the various units of the 39th Group Army could misfire at any time.
When the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar among the top leaders of China and Japan. All forces rushed to participate, or tried to mediate to save the situation, or deliberately sabotaged it, or tried to fish in troubled waters. In short, it was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
Showing his magical power, an unprecedented political storm is rapidly brewing.
At the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
"Puffy" Mr. Peng punched the table hard, immediately smashing the old Eight Immortals table to the ground. Maps, pencils, square rulers and other tools placed on the table suddenly fell to the floor. Everyone in the headquarters
More than a dozen combat staff members suddenly fell silent, too frightened to even take a breath.
"That's unreasonable!" Boss Peng smashed the table with one punch, and immediately paced back and forth in the war room with his hands behind his back, cursing at the same time, "Not to mention the fact that we detained the Communists within the 39th Group Army, and even 129
It’s unreasonable that they all detained the master’s teacher, Lao Liu. What does Yue Weihan want to do? Well, what does he want to do?”
Speaking of which, the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is not in Jingxing County, but Commander Liu who returned from studying at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union, Deputy Commander Xu and Brigadier Chen who graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy are all guests at the Taihang Branch of the Central Military Academy
The instructor will give lectures when he has time, but this time a guy from the 39th Group Army took them all down.
Chief of Staff Zuo muttered: "Boss, this should not be an order given by Yue Weihan."
After saying this, Chief of Staff Zuo added: "Calculating the time, Yue Weihan should have just returned from the Jinan Military Region when the incident happened. I think this should be the order given by Liu Yi, Chief of Staff of the 39th Group Army.
"
"Then it's time for Yue Weihan to return to Jingxing County now, right?" Mr. Peng snorted and said, "Why has there been no telegram or anything until now? Doesn't Yue Weihan have nothing to explain to our Eighth Route Army?"
Does he really think that our Eighth Route Army is easy to bully?"
Chief of Staff Zuo said: "I think the matter may still be processed, right?"
"I don't care about this." Boss Peng waved his hand and said sternly, "Bring me a horse immediately. I want to see Yue Weihan in person!"
"Boss, this is not possible, absolutely not possible." Chief of Staff Zuo said urgently, "The current situation is extremely complicated, and the attitude of the 39th Group Army is also extremely ambiguous. It is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. You are the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, so you must not
You're putting yourself in danger." After saying that, Chief of Staff Zuo stepped out of the way and blocked Boss Peng's way.
Boss Peng glared at me angrily and yelled, "Get out of my way!"
Before he finished speaking, a correspondent came in and reported: "Chief, something happened!"
When Boss Peng heard this, he turned around and said angrily: "The sky won't fall, what happened?"
The correspondent said: "I just received an urgent message from the Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade. Brigadier Li Qinglong launched a mutiny half an hour ago and detained the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army Yue Weihan and the chief of staff Liu Yi. Now the entire 39th Group Army is in chaos.
, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division and the Baoshan Division have all left their bases, and a melee will break out soon!"
"What!?" Chief of Staff Zuo said in disbelief, "Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade mutinied!?"
"This Li Qinglong!" Boss Peng also changed his face and said, "Who gave the order to make him mutiny? And that Zhao Xinyi, why didn't you try to stop him for such a big thing?"
It was a top secret that Yue Weihan joined the party, but Peng always knew that Li Qinglong joined the party.
Chief of Staff Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, Comrade Zhao Xinyi has been detained a long time ago."
"It's broken, it's broken now." Mr. Peng paused and sighed, "Something is going to happen, something big is going to happen!"
Chief of Staff Zuo said: "Boss, in any case, the current situation is beyond our control. I think we must do two things now. First, order the main regiments of the 129th Division to end their rest and recuperation immediately and prepare for the battle.
Preparation, second, immediately report the ins and outs of the matter to the *** and ask Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu to make a decision."
"Okay." Boss Peng frowned and said, "However, the 40 regiments of Yue Weiguo in the Southern Hebei Military Region should not rest any longer. Hurry up and prepare for battle. Then send an urgent message to this bastard Li Qinglong, telling him not to do anything at all*
**, you must never hurt the lives of Yue Weihan and Liu Yi, and don’t misfire unless you have to!"
Chief of Staff Zuo nodded and took the order. In any case, the officers and soldiers of the Tumen Fortress Garrison Brigade and Baoshan Division, the New 6th Division and the New 9th Division are all Chinese. What's more, these officers and soldiers still belong to the 39th Division.
Group armies are all brothers who live and die in the same trench. They really shouldn't kill each other.
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
At two o'clock in the morning, Chairman Chiang was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. When he hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, it was Wang Shihe, the chief of the national guard, leading Commander He, Vice President Bai, Commander-in-Chief Chen of the Ninth War Zone, Director Dai of the Military Command Bureau and others.
When Yin Ye came to visit, seeing this posture, something big must have happened, and Chairman Chiang's sleepiness immediately disappeared.
After listening to Director Dai's brief report, Chairman Chiang was suddenly shocked and exclaimed: "What, Tumen rebelled!?"
"Yes, this is how it happened." Director Dai told the whole story again, and finally said, "Li Qinglong, the commander of the Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade, had already secretly joined the Communist Party. In the entire guard brigade,
All regiment-level officers and the vast majority of battalion- and company-level officers are also controlled by *** elements."
"This...can't be fake, right?" Chairman Jiang was instinctively doubtful.
Think about it, Chairman Chiang and Director Dai spent a lot of energy trying to evade Yue Weihan's military power, and later tried to assassinate Yue Weihan, but all their efforts ended in failure. Yue Weihan seemed to be invincible, but now,
However, Yue Weihan was easily detained by Li Qinglong, a small guard brigade commander!
"This should be true." Commander He said worriedly, "Baoshan Division, New 6th Division and New 9th Division have all left their bases and headed for Tumen Fortress. Li Yulong, Cao Xinglong and Chi Chengfeng are Yue Weihan's closest friends.
The confidants, the direct descendants of the direct descendants, led their troops to Tumen Fortress, apparently intending to raise an army to investigate and demand Li Qinglong's people."
"So...is this really happening?" Chairman Jiang asked with hope.
After receiving affirmative replies from Director He and Director Dai, Chairman Jiang was immediately overjoyed and said overjoyed: "Great, opportunity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
After saying this, Chairman Chiang said to Director Dai: "Yunong, immediately issue an order to the Jingxing Station of the Military Command Bureau, asking them to immediately try to assassinate the Eighth Route Army officials who were detained by the 39th Group Army. Don't have any scruples. We must take the situation into consideration."
To create chaos, it would be best if the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army could fight directly."
Vice President Bai was awestruck when he heard this, Jiang was trying to drive away wolves and devour tigers.
If the Eighth Route Army and the 39th Group Army really go to war, the result will only be losses for both sides. Even if the 39th Group Army can win, it will probably be severely damaged. However, Jiang will not get much benefit, and the real winner will be North China*
**Man! I really don’t know what kind of expression Okamura Neji will have when he learns this news?
Cuimingzhuang, eastern suburb of Peiping.
Okamura Neji was also woken up from his sleep by Tanabe Moritake and Hirata Masahiro.
When I heard that there was a mutiny in the 39th Group Army, Okamura Neiji's first reaction was not to believe it. Yue Weihan was not only good at using troops, but also good at controlling people. His troops quickly expanded from a battalion to a group army in less than two years.
, so many people were promoted and joined, and no one betrayed him!
How could a mutiny occur in such an army made of steel?
However, after listening to the report from Kato Keiroku, the superintendent of the Special Higher Education Course, Okamura Neji became a little skeptical.
If someone is involved, then the credibility of this matter will be very high, and the CCP is not a vegetarian.
Yue Weihan adopts a typical "paternalistic" strategy of leading troops. With his extremely high personal charm and personal prestige, Yue Weihan can control the entire army well, but the Chinese Communist Party is an increasingly mature communist party. She
The proposition is very attractive to many Chinese people.
If the brigade commander of the Tumen Fortress Guard Brigade has really secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party, then this matter is most likely true. As a Communist Party member, after learning that the commander of the 129th Division
, after the deputy division commander and brigade commander were detained, it was completely reasonable to take drastic measures to detain Yue Weihan and coerce Yue Weihan to release him.
However, Neiji Okamura is Neiji Okamura after all. He will not make a judgment easily before getting absolutely reliable information, let alone make a decision rashly based on hearsay. At the moment, Neiji Okamura
Turning back for the first time, he said to Kato Keiroku: "Kato-kun, please contact Miss Yunzi immediately. I want to hear her opinion."
After saying this, Okamura Neiji added: "In addition, no matter how closely we monitor the communications between Chongqing and the war zones in North China, if a mutiny does occur in Tumen Fortress, given the character of China leader Chiang Kai-shek, he will never be able to stand idly by.
Yes, he will definitely take this opportunity to provoke a war between the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army, and then profit from it."
"Hai." Kato Keiroku suddenly lowered his head, then walked away with his saber in his hand.
Watching Kato Keiroku's figure go away, Masahiro Hirata asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, have you ordered the Fourth Army of Ogisu Rihei to prepare? If the Domon Mutiny is indeed true, and between the 39th Group Army and the Eighth Route Army
If a melee really breaks out, this is the best time to seize Tumen Fortress!"
Tanabe Moritake also said: "Your Excellency, Commander, what Mr. Hirata said is absolutely true. The Domon Fortress is extremely strong. The Fourth Army had launched a fierce attack before, but suffered a disastrous defeat. According to the staff's estimation, in order to conquer the Domon Fortress head-on,
Gate Fortress requires the sacrifice of at least two elite divisions. If we can take this opportunity to win it in one fell swoop, it will be a great deal."
