    Chapter 947 Standing aside and watching

    The Japanese army finally took action in the Beibu Gulf and Leizhou Peninsula. Tang Qiuli's warning became a reality. When the news came out, the rear area was shaken. With the current geographical location of Chongqing, the capital, the Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan areas are undoubtedly the southern barrier to protect Chongqing. Japan  People who move in this direction are obviously heading towards the Chongqing National Palace, where Chairman Chiang Kai-shek lives.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    Chairman Chiang was so angry that he cursed his mother. In addition to shouting that it was bad luck, he was not slow to move. He transferred the main forces of the Central Army to the southeastern area of ????Guizhou to deploy defenses to block the Japanese army's passage north to Chongqing. This arrangement was quite satisfactory, but it also explained that  Chairman Chiang's mentality at this time was passive defensive.

    At this time, the best direction of action for the Central Army should be to cooperate with the Guangxi Army and participate in the Nanning Defense Battle. If this battle achieves the expected results, the Japanese offensive in the Beibu Gulf will stop in Guangxi, or at least  If a temporary confrontation situation is formed, Chongqing's insurance factor will be greater. The day the Gui army failed in Nanning was when the Japanese army attacked Guizhou.

    Both Chairman Chiang and his civil servants, generals, and staff knew this, but the inexplicable and subtle relationship between Chairman Chiang and Li Bai, the decades of grudges, life and death entanglements,  Chairman Chiang Kai-shek did not take the correct approach to deal with the demonic obstacle in his heart. Instead, he adopted the strategy of sitting back and watching the Guijun family fight with the superior Japanese army in Nanning without lending a helping hand.

    Perhaps, in Chairman Chiang's heart, there is a vague expectation that he can use the hands of the Japanese to get rid of the Guangxi forces that have been at odds with him for many years and have been unable to get rid of them, and reap a huge advantage. Perhaps he thinks that the Japanese will  After the bloody battle with the Gui army, his vitality was somewhat damaged. He later attacked Guizhou and lacked confidence. Perhaps, in the heart of Chairman Chiang, he was reluctant to use his treasured direct troops to marry Li Bai from the Gui army.  Clothes are free for political opponents.

    Maybe, Chairman Chiang knew that Tang Qiuli had six main corps in the south, but he didn't take action, so why should he let the Central Army be the scapegoat? There may be too many reasons. Chairman Chiang must have a very complicated heart. In short,  After the Central Army moved to southeastern Guizhou, they immediately put up a defensive posture, built fortifications, and built high walls and fortresses, waiting for the Japanese to come.

    After learning about the Central Army's deployment in southeastern Guizhou, Tang Qiuli roughly grasped Chairman Chiang's psychological activities. In his opinion, the Central Army's actions were absolutely stupid. Guangxi had an interdependent relationship with the rear area.  The Gui Clan could not withstand it, and as a result, it lost all its strength. After the victory, the Japanese army would take the power of victory and march straight to Guizhou. With the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the Central Army, it is still unknown how long it can hold them back.

    The Japanese army also had another direction of attack. They divided their troops from Guangxi, marched westward to Yunnan, and attacked Chongqing from the southwest. This was also a fatal blow. The Japanese army attacking Guangdong was frightened by the fact that the Feng Jiwu Corps of the ** Division was in Fujian and the division's directly affiliated corps was in Hunan.  In Changsha and Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps' defense in Ji'an, Jiangxi, it is very possible that they will turn to attack Guangxi and even push all their forces in the direction of Nanning.

    Only in this way, the Nanning defense battle that Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were determined to fight would play a vital role in stabilizing or even changing the situation in the southeast. The situation was obvious. It was difficult for the Gui army to resist the Japanese attack with its own strength. Even though they knew that Comrade Chiang Kai-shek  With long thoughts, Tang Qiuli decided to give it a try and persuade Chairman Chiang to participate in the battle to defend Nanning.

    To this end, he sent a long telegram to Chairman Chiang, "Chairman Chiang, the war in the southeast has suddenly broken out, and the Japanese troops are pressing down on the border. The purpose of going north to attack Chongqing is very obvious, and Nanning is a crucial city in Guangxi."  If the fortress is properly managed, it can be regarded as the mainstay to resist the next move of the Japanese army. Qiu Li believes that the Gui army alone will never be able to shoulder this important task. He also hopes that Chairman Chiang will assess the situation and urge the main force of the Central Army to go south to Nanning to fight with  The Guangxi clique joined hands to organize the defense of Nanning."

    "This battle is of great importance. It is decided to protect the rear area of ??the capital. For the sake of national security, the Chairman should also deploy heavy troops to defend Nanning. In addition, the Japanese army attacking Guangdong will also turn its attack to Nanning, Guangxi within a few days.  direction, as a result, the pressure on the Guangxi Army has increased sharply, and there is a danger of the entire army being annihilated. Our corps directly under the ** Division has entered the Liuzhou area in northeastern Guangxi to provide assistance to the Gui Army at any time. The situation is difficult and critical. I hope the Chairman will make the right decision.  Decision, impatient to wait for it.¡±

    After Tang Qiuli's telegram arrived in Chongqing, it caused a great shock within the National Government. Chen Cheng, Yang Yongtai, Gu Zhu and others also knew the current situation well, and knew that Tang Qiuli's words were very important.  Correct is the best strategy to deal with the Japanese attack. If the Guangxi clique falls, the Central Army may not take advantage.

    The Japanese will definitely extend their sword to Guizhou next, but the old man¡¯s thoughts are difficult to figure out. Together, several people decided to persuade the old man.The leader is not a person who cares about the Guangxi clique. It would be ideal if Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were killed by the Japanese. It is for the safety of the Central Army and Chongqing. The war situation in the southeast is corrupt. If it doesn't work well, there is still the possibility of moving the capital.

    After meeting Chairman Chiang, several people felt that the old man's complexion was not very good and he seemed to be in a very irritable mood. Perhaps he was affected by Tang Qiuli's telegram, and he was even more worried about the future safety of the Chongqing government. Chen Cheng and others  Turn your attention to Yang Yongtai. Now, he is the only one who can speak without getting scolded.

    Yang Yongtai bravely said tactfully: "Commissioner, Ci Xiu and I, after carefully studying Tang Qiuli's telegram, we believe that what Tang said is very reasonable. The defense of Nanning is related to the rear area."  This is a critical battle for safety. If this battle is won, the Japanese army will be forced to slow down the pace of the attack, and the national government can calmly dispatch and have a chance to breathe. Therefore, the subordinates believe that the main force of our Central Army will go south to Nanning and fight with Guangxi.  The best strategy is to jointly organize the defense battle of Nanning. Of course, this battle needs to be dominated by the national government and supplemented by the Guangxi faction. I wonder what the Chairman¡¯s intention is?¡±

    After listening to Yang Yongtai's words, Chairman Jiang frowned, his face immediately darkened, and he suddenly said angrily: "Mother Xipi, Tang Qiuli has hundreds of thousands of troops in the south, why don't he send troops to participate in the defense of Nanning? I have to let me  Jiang has sent troops with ulterior motives. He will not be at ease unless he wipes out all the money I have saved so hard. If you think this method is good, go and discuss it with Tang Qiuli. Why bother to ask me? "

    "Securing southeastern Guizhou is a great achievement. I will not send a single soldier to Nanning." After saying that, he walked away, leaving Yang Yongtai, Chen Cheng and others stunned, watching the figure of Chairman Chiang disappear in the  At the end of the corridor, the "click-click" sound of the cane hitting the stone road was like a hammer hitting their hearts. These words were extremely serious. These few people, who were not the die-hard confidants of Chairman Chiang, let them and Tang Qiuli  By discussing the matter of sending troops to Nanning, doesn't it mean that we have betrayed the old man?  Several people smelled danger in Chairman Chiang's words, and for a moment they felt extremely bitter.

    The Central Army went south to Nanning to participate in the defense of Nanning. There is no further explanation. The Chongqing government has no explanation. The Central Army still stayed on the front line in southeastern Guizhou. Tang Qiu was heartbroken. It was not that he did not want to send troops to Nanning. The key was Li Zongren.  The fighting style he and Bai Chongxi played in Nanning did not meet his requirements. What's more, the two Guangxi bosses had not formally requested the army to send troops to Guangxi. Tang Qiuli did not want to leave the impression that Li Bai and Li Bai were taking advantage of others.

    Chang Feng led his troops into Liuzhou in northeastern Guangxi, which already made Li Bai and Li Bai feel uncomfortable. In the telegram, they mentioned this matter euphemistically. Moreover, sticking to the same place, fighting for strength and consumption, caring about the gains and losses of one city and one place, this is  Tang Qiuli had always given up on tactics, and he also gave Li and Bai suggestions, but to no avail. Li Bai and Li were determined to fight the Japanese army in Nanning. At this time, the Japanese division troops joined in, and the casualties were huge.  It was inevitable. Tang Qiuli would never do such a thing.

    The Guangdong and Guangxi areas are covered with clouds of war, artillery fire is raging, and the Japanese offensive is surging. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are ambitious to organize the Nanning Defense War. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has hundreds of thousands of troops from the Central Army and Chen troops in southeastern Guizhou. They sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. The Southwest Five, who hold hundreds of thousands of troops,  Tang Qiuli, the commander-in-chief of the provincial military joint defense, has nothing to do. So far, only Long Yun of Yunnan has made a request to let the ** division troops enter Yunnan.

    Long Yun is a smart man who knows how to prepare for rainy days, but Yunnan is not important now. Guangdong and Guangxi are taking care of it from the front. Tang Qiuli feels like sitting on the sidelines and is extremely depressed. He should do something for the upcoming battle to defend Nanning. However,  The opportunity came quickly. On April 23, Tang Qiuli received a distress call from Yu Hanmou, chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Guangdong Provincial Security Commander.

    From the moment he received the telegram, Tang Qiuli knew that Yu Hanmou couldn't stand it anymore. Speaking of it, Yu Hanmou was unlucky enough. Among the five southwestern provinces, Yu Hanmou was the weakest, with only a few hundred thousand troops under his command.  The equipment is a few grades behind the armies of other local bosses, the financial resources at hand are insufficient, and the training of the troops is in a mess.

    With such strength, the offensive opponent they encountered was the Fifteenth Army of the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force, which was famous for its boldness and toughness. That is, Yamashita Fengfumi's troops. The Fifteenth Army landed at Hai'an on the Leizhou Peninsula. Once ashore, they laid out  In a desperate attack posture, the more than 8,000 men of the 7th Guard Brigade of the Cantonese Army defending Hai'an were unable to block even a single round in the face of the Japanese army's tidal attack.

    The Battle of Hai'an ended in just over an hour. Yamashita Fengwen ate an entire brigade of Cantonese troops in one bite without even belching. The town of Hai'an was filled with the corpses of Cantonese soldiers and civilians. The 15th Army completely implemented  Yamashita followed Wen's orders and spared no Chinese in the occupied China area.

    Haian Town was wiped out, and then Yamashita Fengwen sent his troops to Xuwen, an important town on the Leizhou Peninsula. There was a division of the Guangdong Army defending there.
