    Chapter 587: Uproar

    Tang Qiuli quickly eliminated the Eighth Army with an iron fist. All 120,000 soldiers were disarmed and imprisoned. How to deal with these soldiers and officers was the most complicated and arduous task.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    Tang Qiuli issued an order to the commanders at all levels of the army. The specific requirement is that every soldier and officer must pass through a sieve to find out their misdeeds and crimes they have committed. They must be carried out according to the severity of the crimes they committed.  , registration, specific inventory and screening methods, each army has its own control. This task must be completed within five days.

    The commanders of the various units who received the order complained incessantly and almost went crazy. In five days, everyone had to go through their heads. They were not allowed to create unjust, false or wrongful convictions. That was 120,000 people, which cost an ocean of 120,000 yuan.  , it will take a few days, not to mention so many living people.

    The division commander's orders must be carried out unconditionally. This is the old tradition of the ** division. Officers at all levels, who were forced to go berserk by Tang Qiuli, used their brains to use face-to-face interrogation methods to treat these soldiers according to the company's organization.  Assigned to troops, assigned squad platoon cadres, and formed an interrogation team, this way, the efficiency will be greatly improved.

    This is a large-scale investigation and screening work, and the army has also created various effective interrogation methods. For example, it adopts a layer-by-layer method of exposure. The soldiers expose the squad leader, the squad leader exposes the platoon leader, and so on, until the division commander and  At the brigade commander level, soldiers exposed each other, and the interrogation team worked day and night. On the fifth day, the seemingly impossible task was completed neatly with the efforts of all commanders.

    It is said that through this large interrogation, many interrogation experts were discovered, which made Yu Deshui and Shen Jun extremely happy. Both the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department were short of manpower. As soon as the interrogation was over, the two of them went into chaos in their respective units.  Running around, poaching people to enrich his department, finally, he made a list and sent it to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

    At this time, Tang Qiuli looked at the interrogation records and rosters that almost overwhelmed him. He was in a daze there. Only then did he realize what it meant to be self-inflicted. He had to review so many lists one by one, and he would not be exhausted until he died.  Tired and vomiting blood, he also felt sad. Judging from so many interrogation records, Tang Enbo's Eighth Army was rotten from top to bottom.

    In a sense, the Henan Campaign was a reverse elimination of the Eighth Army. The 53rd Division and the 130th Division, which had the most combat effectiveness and the best troop quality, were eradicated by Tang Enbo with the help of the Japanese.  The rest are the troops that meet Tang Enbo's standards. This is the tragedy of the Chinese Communist Party and the tragedy of the nation.

    The Eighth Army Corps of the Central Army has become Tang Enbo's personal armed force. The troops that are not in his eyes will eventually be eliminated, and the remaining troops and commanders are undoubtedly accomplices. The anger in Tang Qiuli's heart,  He couldn't help but get angry, and at the same time, murderous intent arose in his heart.

    Two days later, outside Xiangfan City, a long ravine near Wudang Mountain became an execution ground. The sound of gunshots continued for five days. During the five days, a total of 8,382 former Eighth Army soldiers were killed.  officers were shot here, including 28 officers at the major general level and above, including the seven division commanders who fled without fighting from Anyang, Xinxiang and Zhengzhou, and 583 officers at the school level, including  There were the battalion commanders who robbed the hostess of the hotel in the mountain town, and there were 1,455 lieutenant-level officers, and the rest were all soldiers.

    These people who were shot were all those who committed heinous crimes against the people. If they were not killed, the people would not be angry. They were left to harm the world. Tang Qiuli went on a killing spree. The cold light in his eyes and the red brush were on the roster.  Li Honggang and the others felt frightened when they saw them. Among the people who were shot, there were more than 20 major generals who could reach the general level in the Central Army. That person had some background. He couldn't help but worry about the division commander and what he thought about the government.  Account.

    The citizens of Xiangfan also felt the atmosphere of terror. They saw truckloads of people being pulled out every day, and none of them came back. They knew what was going on. During the time that the Eighth Army was in Xiangfan, they brought Xiangfan to ruins.  Business travel was cut off, the market was depressed, and the people were in dire straits. The citizens of Xiangfan had no good impression of this army and generally approved of Tang Qiuli's bloody behavior. However, they couldn't help but hear that more than 8,000 people were shot and killed in five days.  I shuddered, oh my god, isn¡¯t this young vice chairman possessed by the god of death?

    With this attack, Tang Qiuli almost killed all the officers of the Eighth Army. Among the remaining soldiers, more than 40,000 were expelled from the army and more than 30,000 left the army voluntarily. The entire Eighth Army only had  There were about 40,000 soldiers left. These soldiers were all good in nature and had no or very few bad deeds. Tang Qiuli broke them up and diluted them into various units. Among them, one was added to Li Honggang's 29th Corps.  More than 10,000 people were added to Sun Zhenbang's army with more than 10,000 people, and the rest was evenly distributed among the various units.

    &nbsp; What Tang Qiuli did was tantamount to canceling the designation of the Eighth Army. From then on, the Eighth Army, this army full of sin and shame, ceased to exist after the death of the army commander Tang Enbo and the harsh purge of the army.  , disappeared into the long river of history.

    After dealing with the Eighth Army Corps, Tang Qiuli sorted out all the materials, including the details of the shooting of Tang Enbo and twenty-eight major generals, loaded half a truck, and sent someone to Nanjing. One legion, more than 200,000 people.  His troops were killed by him like this. This was no small matter. He knew very well that when this matter reached Nanjing, it would definitely arouse an uproar. What was waiting for him?

    Tang Qiuli was mentally prepared for all this. He had to do this. When the Eighth Army Corps was placed under the command of the Yellow River Basin War Zone, Chairman Chiang did not really hand over the command to himself. Thinking deeply, this  It may not be a move by Chairman Chiang. Putting a nail in his monolithic northern theater implies his intention to prevent himself from becoming bigger.

    If Tang Enbo really fights with all his strength, even if he fails to achieve even an inch of success, as long as he fulfills his duty as a soldier, he will not kill ruthlessly and will take care of him. However, what Tang Enbo does is no longer as simple as monitoring himself.  As for the dangerous situation of the troops of the ** Division, this is a scourge. If this villain is left alone, he might secretly bite him that day. Furthermore, the existence of such troops in the northern theater who have different intentions from himself has endangered the entire  Security on the front.

    No matter from which aspect, Tang Qiuli must get rid of Tang Enbo and his more than 200,000 troops to eliminate this internal hidden danger, even if it means confronting the Nanjing government and breaking with Chairman Chiang, he will not hesitate to do so.  , everything, Tang Qiuli had already considered before going on a killing spree. Now that the matter is done, the rest depends on how the Nanjing government and Chairman Chiang deal with this matter.

    February 8, Nanjing, the Generalissimo's official residence. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's eyes were straight, and he was sitting blankly on a thick-backed armchair. On the large desk, there were many letters scattered around, and the senior members of the Military Commission  , also sat on the sides like clay sculptures and wood sculptures. The atmosphere in the room was depressing and dull. No one spoke, they were all thinking about their own thoughts.

    The materials Tang Qiuli compiled about Tang Enbo and the Eighth Army were no less than a blockbuster as soon as they were sent to Nanjing. They blew up the military committee and stirred up waves. The matter was too big.  Commander, twenty-eight major generals were shot when they were told, and more than 200,000 troops were demobilized when told, without saying hello to the central government in advance. This Tang Qiuli acted extremely boldly.

    After reading the personal letter Tang Qiuli wrote to him, Chairman Jiang felt like stars were popping up in front of his eyes. He absolutely believed that what Tang Qiuli said in the letter was the truth. He knew just from the series of battles that took place in the Henan battlefield.  Tang Enbo had done some shameful things. He knew Tang Enbo too well. He was mediocre, but he was obedient and absolutely loyal to himself, so he placed him next to Tang Qiuli and did not worry about him changing families.

    Chairman Jiang thought deeply about this incident. He figured out Tang Qiuli's true intention of doing this. According to the crime Tang Enbo committed, it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him. However, he never believed that with Tang Qiuli's talent and  Scheming, things will be as simple as they appear?  Tang Qiuli used Tang Enbo's death to convey some kind of message to himself, whether he had seen through his intention of placing this chess piece, or he was warning himself not to reach out to the north.

    Chairman Chiang was not too sad about Tang Enbo's untimely death. This Tang Enbo was really shameless. He couldn't even act superficially. The handle fell into Tang Qiuli's hands. Even if he lost his life, it would be fulfilled again.  The reputation of Li Zongren of the Gui Clan, and the great victory in Xuzhou, made the Gui Clan, which was located in a corner, feel proud in front of the people. It would be a shame for such a person to die, Chairman Chiang thought angrily.

    What shocked him was why Tang Qiuli was so bold, ruthless and murderous. Was he really maintaining military discipline, or was it because he had grown in strength and had the ability to challenge himself?  Chairman Jiang really didn't know how to deal with this matter. Since Tang Qiuli reported the matter to the Military Commissioner and the evidence was solid, he had to give an answer or an explanation.

    He summoned the senior members of the military committee to discuss how to handle the matter. The senior staff members all had their own concerns. The matter was obvious. Tang Enbo should be killed, but this was not the killing method. Any illegal operation must be submitted to a military court for trial.  Let's carry it out again. No one is willing to say this. Tang Enbo has already lost his life. There is no need to offend Tang Qiuli again.

    To say that Tang Enbo deserves to be killed, the old man would definitely not feel happy, and he could not afford to offend him. Therefore, everyone kept silent, and the situation became a stalemate. Chairman Chiang had a clear understanding of the inner thoughts of these senior officials.  Knowing that none of them wanted to offend, Tang Qiuli took advantage of the situation and insisted that killing Tang Enbo was wrong. Only these veterans of officialdom would not make such low-level mistakes.

    But??Chairman Chiang needed everyone to express their opinions before he could decide how to handle the matter. He asked several times, but no one said anything. The old man was so angry that he almost slammed the table.

    At this time, a man stood up. Everyone, including Chairman Chiang, was stunned. It was not his character to be the first to show off. What happened today?
