- Chapter 426 The wind rises in Songhu
After receiving the telegram from Chairman Chiang, Tang Qiuli sighed for a long time. He did not dare to say that everyone was drunk but the old man was sober. At least Chairman Chiang realized that North China was a solid barrier in the Central Plains. More than one million Japanese troops were killed by Tang Qiu. Leaving the hungry wolves in the cage, once the North China barrier is breached and the Japanese army marches southward in large numbers, the land south of the Yangtze River will be at war, and Nanjing will also face a serious threat.
Therefore, it can be said that Tang Qiuli guarded the gate of Peking University for the old man. Chairman Chiang would meet all his demands. Helping him is equivalent to helping himself. At the end of the telegram, the old man also said: "Qiu Li, I have high hopes for you. , I am very relieved that you will be responsible for the future war situation in the north against Japan. The expansion of the ** Division can be based on actual needs and does not need to be bound by the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The central government will devote financial resources to ensure the expansion of the ** Division. Required.¡±
The implication is that you, Tang Qiuli, have the ability to expand the army to several million, and I, Chiang Kai-shek, also pay for it. As long as you keep the Japanese in North China, Chairman Chiang has this trust in no one. , confidants such as Chen Cheng and Gu Zhuping did not let go like this, Tang Qiuli felt the weight on his shoulders.
With Chairman Chiang's personal approval, everything was on the fast track. Tang Qiuli formed a conscription committee headed by Yu Guanghan, Chief of Staff of the Army Division, and Mei Ting, Director Secretary of the Secretariat, and worked in various cities and towns in the mainland. A large number of recruitment stations were set up in rural areas.
Before all the members of the recruitment committee set off, Tang Qiuli personally designed and made two sets of clothing for each officer that were different from regular military uniforms. The armbands were a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread, soaring over the Great Wall. This set The military uniforms are so beautiful. Tang Qiuli absorbed a lot of elements from the German SS uniforms and changed the collar badges on the Central Army uniforms into hard epaulettes.
Especially when Mei Ting put on the new military uniform, it was the icing on the cake. At that time, she was so radiant and heroic that Tang Qiuli was stunned. This beautiful and charming female colonel was his wife. Tang Qiuli had a wife. A deep sense of accomplishment and a little bit of pride.
Tang Qiuli also had another meaning. This new set of military uniforms was undoubtedly the image of the Army Division. It was very attractive. Those passionate young people, after seeing such a mighty military uniform, still yearned for the Army Division sincerely. It was undeniable. Before time travel, a large part of the reason why I chose to join the special forces was because of the military uniform.
The brilliant achievements of the North China Army on the battlefield have long been well-known through vigorous publicity by major media and deliberate promotion by the government. Tang Qiuli's three battles and three victories have been talked about like myths by the people. , for a time, joining the army and going to the Army Division became a word on the lips of passionate young people, not only because of the generous treatment of the Army Division, it was a place where youth could fly and blood boil, and the war started. In the north, the smoke of gunfire is heard in the south of the Yangtze River.
Most of the recruits recruited from various places were sent to the Huangyadong base area in the Taihang Mountains. Those who were educated and passed the examination were uniformly sent to the Dingbian Special Economic Zone to study at the Dingbian Military Command College. There is an academy for grassroots commanders, and a senior command department is also established in the academy to train on-the-job senior officers. With the help of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, instructors were hired from Whampoa Military Academy, and senior professors were hired as teachers from universities across the country.
At this time, the famous military educator of the Republic of China, General Jiang Baili, came to the front line of North China where the war had faded. In the headquarters of the Army Division in Baoding, he met Tang Qiuli, whom he had long wanted to see, and the two met. After meeting, they talked all night long. General Jiang Baili sincerely admired Tang Qiuli. His achievements were obvious and no one could erase them.
He had returned from studying in Japan and was well aware of the fighting will of Japanese soldiers and Japan's national strength. Regarding Tang Qiuli's achievements, General Jiang Baili asked himself that he could not do it, and this young general who was only in his twenties, under his With a mysterious existence in his heart, Tang Qiuli had long admired General Jiang Baili. He was a talented military strategist. After a long conversation, General Jiang Baili readily accepted Tang Qiuli's invitation to serve as the dean of the Dingbian Military Command Academy. , and immediately went to Dingbian to take up his post.
Within a few days, more than 50,000 new recruits arrived at Huangyadong from all over the country. Wu Hongtao, commander of the new recruit replacement brigade, was immediately extremely busy. He had just sent away more than 10,000 new recruits who had completed their training. After entering the various units, before they had time to take a breath, more than 50,000 people came. Listening to the division commander, this was just the beginning. Wu Hongtao hurriedly complained to the division commander.
Tang Qiuli also noticed this. The organizational structure of the recruit replenishment brigade was obviously no longer suitable for the needs of large-scale military expansion. After all, only a few could enter the Dingbian Military Academy. He decided to establish the ** Division Training Headquarters. The original * Wu Hongtao, commander of the *Division's Recruitment Replenishment Brigade, served as commander, and Zhu Guangyi, the former deputy commander of Huangyadong Security Brigade, served as chief of staff. He also dispatched some companies and platoons from each field infantry brigade, artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, and air defense brigade. A senior cadre and serving as an instructor relieved Wu Hongtao's pressure.
 " Tang Qiuli was busy expanding his troops. He was worried. He could only look at the new recruits who were coming to Huangyadong one after another and swallowed his saliva. If these new soldiers want to form combat effectiveness, it will take less than half a year. He couldn't give each of them a gun and just go up and fight the Japanese army, but the Japanese didn't give him enough time. It was August 8, 1937, and in five days, the famous Shanghai in history 8. The January 3 Incident is about to break out.
Tang Qiuli prayed secretly, hoping that the Japanese would suffer a big loss in North China and focus all their attention on themselves. They have no plans to take action in the direction of Shanghai for the time being. As long as he is given half a year, they will have the strength to fight on two fronts. Now , just dealing with the Japanese army in North China was already a bit difficult.
In front of the map, he examined the defense situation in the Shanghai area, feeling guilty for a while. After the "January 28th" Incident in 1932, the national government was forced to sign the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" with Japan. The agreement stipulated that , the Chinese *** Corps is not allowed to garrison in and around Shanghai. There are only two regiments of the Shanghai Police Corps under the jurisdiction of Songhu Garrison Commander Yang Hu and the Jiangsu Security Forces in the city. The strength of the troops is very weak, putting China in a very difficult situation. Passive situation.
On the other hand, the Japanese army is not restricted by the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" and has heavy troops stationed in the Hongkou and Yangshupu areas of Shanghai. It has a dedicated Japanese Marine Corps Command in Shanghai. The number of Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai is more than 13,000. , there are also a large number of Japanese ships patrolling along the Yangtze River and Huangpu River all year round, ready to provide heavy fire support to the Japanese army and bombard the Chinese defenders' positions.
If the Japanese take action in the direction of Shanghai, the losers in the first battle will definitely be the Chinese Army. They cannot afford to fight on two fronts now. They must not open another battlefield in the direction of Songhu. Otherwise, the troops staying in Zaozhuang, Shandong and Xuzhou, Jiangsu will Brother Qiu Sheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, as long as it sends three brigades of troops, can drive the Japanese Marines down the Huangpu River to feed the bastards. That is a force developed by the Japanese division, and its combat effectiveness is no less than what it has in its own hands. of more than a dozen brigades.
Tang Qiuli secretly hated that Shanghai was a dead end and had to find a way to break it. Looking around the coast of China, it was like a broken fishing net with holes everywhere. The coastal defense force was almost zero. The Japanese could cause damage wherever they landed. The arrows to attack the mainland, and the Japanese reinforcements in North China have all been in place for three or four days, and there has been no big move yet, which is questionable in itself. Are they not completing their strategic deployment, or are they waiting for some opportunity?
On the evening of August 8, Tang Qiuli called Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing: "Nanjing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, looking at the Songhu area, the situation is very dangerous. There are only more than 5,000 irregular troops in the city. If war breaks out and the Japanese Marine Corps enters uninhabited territory, the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be worrying, and the capital will also be under threat from the Japanese army. The Japanese army in North China has completed the reinforcement of troops, but has not seen any action. It seems that it is planning to attack with all its strength. Due to the pressure of the Japanese army, the Yellow River If the troops under the theater command cannot be reinforced, Shanghai will not be protected.¡±
"Qiu Li has a suggestion. We can imitate the previous layout of our ** division in Tianjin, and use two or three divisions of field troops to disguise themselves as the Shanghai police force to strengthen the defense force in Shanghai. In addition, General Zhang Zhizhong, the chief of education of the Central Military Academy, Replace the post of General Yang Hu, the garrison commander of Songhu, and uniformly mobilize our military strength in the Shanghai area. The Tang Qiusheng Department of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division staying at the Sulu border area can also mobilize the strength of the third brigade to enter the outskirts of Songhu. In order to respond, if necessary, it can be put under the command of General Zhang Zhi. Whether the above proposal is feasible, please go to the Chairman for consideration. I hope to restore Tang Qiuli, midnight on August 8, the 28th year of the Republic of China."
Tang Qiuli had no choice. It was another Songhu Agreement. It was exactly the same as the Tanggu Agreement. It opened the door to the Japanese at any time. North China had already been bloody and full of blood, and the Kuomintang government had not declared war on Japan. , are you still seeking external means to solve it, are you still suffering too little loss? The Northeast is an example. The League of Nations is nothing but a waste of time. Why not let the Japanese occupy the Northeast and create Manchukuo?
Fists are justice, guns are proverbs. Without the backing of military strength, mouth can't beat fists, and diplomacy will be the result of being bullied. His idea for the old man was to make some changes to avoid a fight in Shanghai, so he hurriedly transferred The soldiers dispatched the generals in a hurry and fell into passivity. As for General Zhang Zhizhong to replace Yang Hu, Tang Qiuli knew the history very well. General Zhang Zhizhong was a famous general in the army. His character made Tang Qiuli very proud. respect.
As for General Yang Hu, although he also left his name in history, the name tiger does not actually fit. He killed the Communist Party members, but he was very powerful. When fighting against the Japanese, he was probably similar to a cat. The situation was not good and he fled early. He ran away on the roof. How could Tang Qiuli be so relieved to be handed over to a person who looked like a tiger but was actually a cat in a large southeastern household in Shanghai and Nanjing?
In the early morning of August 9, Chairman Chiang called back: "Qiu Li, I have fully acknowledged the call and the suggestions made are very good. Shanghai is also worried about me, so I ordered Wen Bai to go to Shanghai to take over Yang Hu's position, and the army The 87th Division and the 88th Division, Song DynastyThe Thirty-sixth Division under ??Lian's command, with a total of more than 30,000 people, has been stationed in Shanghai in the name of the police force. The deployment will be completed soon. Qiu Li concentrates on the battlefield in North China and does not get distracted by the direction of Songhu. "
