Chapter 1569: Military Conference! (2)
Leaders will not express their opinions easily. Once they are published, they cannot be changed at will, otherwise it will be a huge blow to their prestige. (Literature Museum)
If it is considered "fierce" by outsiders and has no opinion, it will be devastating to his personal prestige.
No one likes a "fierce" boss, and as a subordinate, you will be at a loss.
"Hou Xiao, what do you think, just say it!" Old Jiang asked gently.
"Chairman, subordinates believe that the Japanese Kwantung Army suffered heavy damage in Liaobei and lost two important towns, Tongliao and Zhengjiatun. Now that winter is approaching, the Japanese army is not in line with the severe cold climate in northern my country. It is a great time to march to recapture the three eastern provinces!" Yu Xiaohou said.
Everyone was shocked. Yu Xiaohou was not a fool, right? The Northeast Army had a lot of assets and had done a lot of things. At this time, the Kwantung Army did not encounter a devastating blow, and I am afraid it was still the same!
However, everyone is old-fashioned. The Northeast Army has been defeated in a row within a year and lost Northeast China and Rehe. If they still shrink back and don’t even have the awareness of seeking war, they will really become second- and third-rate forces.
The morale of the army is not solidified and the morale is low. This is the biggest problem for the Northeast Army now!
In this way, it is not difficult to understand that Yu Xiaohou actively seeks war!
Even if you win a small victory at this time, it will be excellent for reversing the Northeast Army's impression among the people and boosting morale.
Of course, it is hard to say whether Yu Xiaohou really wants to fight the Japanese in his heart. Maybe Zhang Hanqing has stepped down and the Northeast Army may have really changed.
"Brother Xiaohou, the Japanese army takes the initiative to truce. If we provoke the war, what will the international community think of us?" He Jingzhi asked with a tough bullet.
"Brother Jingzhi, this is a bad statement. At the beginning, we did not provoke this war, but the Japanese, and now they still occupy our Yu Pass!" Yu Xiaohou said in anger.
"The Yuguan incident is an isolated incident. The Japanese side hopes to contact us for negotiations alone!" Zhang Qun suddenly spoke.
"If the isolated incident was not deliberately provoked, the Japanese army in North China and the Kwantung Army should cooperate inside and outside, how could our army lose Yu Pass?"
"The Japanese side put forward the conditions. If we agree to negotiate directly, we can agree to withdraw troops from Yuguan first. Both sides will assign police to station to maintain order!" Zhang Qun said, this was the biggest achievement he achieved after he arrived in Peiping, and mediated with multiple parties.
"Is this negotiation just the Rehe issue? Or does it include the three eastern provinces?" Shang Zhen pointed out sharply and asked.
"This..." Zhang Qun glanced at Lao Jiang quietly, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Zhang Qun, just say anything!" Old Jiang said in a deep voice, "We are going to discuss these issues today."
"The Japanese side hopes to negotiate and negotiate with us directly on the Northeast and Rehe issues!" Zhang Qun lowered his head slightly guiltily.
"Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world. The Japanese think it's pretty. If we agree to negotiate directly with them, then what should we ask the League of Nations to do? Wouldn't it be unfaithful to do this?"
"Yes, the Japanese clearly want to force us to submit. Once we agree to the direct negotiation, the arbitration of the League of Nations will lose its meaning. Japan will inevitably make many rude requests. If we ask the League of Nations to arbitration, it will probably be meaningless!"
"Yes. You can't negotiate directly with the Japanese. If you want to fight, you can fight. The Japanese are not three heads and six arms. Although we are not as strong as others, we are not without the power to fight!"
The crowd was excited, and the lips were lost and the teeth were cold. No matter how much the Japanese said, they were foreign enemies. No matter how many brothers fought, they could not afford to be cheaper for outsiders.
"Silent, quiet!"
"If you start a war with the Japanese now, do you feel confident?" asked Lao Jiang.
"I think that I am at least seven points!" Yu Xiaohou, the main battle, stood up and said, "First, when we start a war, we have the intention to make a fool of ourselves, we can have the effect of a sudden attack. We caught the Japanese army off guard. Second, our troops were hoarded around Pingjin and could be put into battle without any mobilization. The preparation time was greatly shortened. Third, most of the Kwantung Army's forces are now concentrated around Changchun. Although there is the 8th Division of the Japanese army in Jinzhou, the hinterland of Liaozhong is empty. We can adopt a roundabout strategy to cut off the connection between Jinzhou and the enemy of Rehe and Fengtian, recover Jinzhou and Daling River, and then recover Rehe. This is the first step..." Yu Xiaohou was obviously prepared, otherwise he would not be the first to make the main station comments at the meeting!
Lu Shan's eyes flashed. Yu Xiaohou's plan was indeed somewhat feasible, but his plan was too ideal and did not take into account the actual situation!
This plan cannot be completed by any unit alone. According to his plan, the Northeast Army must dispatch at least half of its troops, and other troops need to cooperate in combat, and at least 200,000 troops must be used to achieve it.
The Japanese army was not very garrisoned in Rehe, Jinzhou, Daling River and the garrison. Including the puppet army and the police, there were only 40,000 to 50,000, and about half of the Japanese army were.
Yu Xiaohou's strategy was not a rash move, but it had a bit of steady attack. However, what he wanted to eat was the 8th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Mixed Brigade. Is this not an ordinary attack?
Jinzhou City is not that easy to fight. After the Japanese occupied Jinzhou, they built a large number of fortifications, as well as airports and tanks and armored vehicles to help. Although the Northeast Army has good weapons and equipment, it has been damaged several times and is no longer the same as before!
Among them are some passive generals of the War of Resistance, such as the Wan Fulin unit of the newly formed Fourth Corps, who have long been scared by the Japanese army. If such a unit faces the Japanese army again, I really don’t know what kind of miracle will happen!
There is no one who admits his conscience in his words, but in terms of actual actions, it is hard to say.
First of all, who will command the question? It is still useless to not have a good plan without a good executor. It can be foreseeable that Yu Xiaohou has a wishful thinking.
"What do you think of Xiaohou's initiative?" Chiang Kai-shek remained silent. He was as insightful as the generals of North China except the young Commander Lu!
"Xiaohou's plan took some effort, but our army is short of clothes and food, and there is insufficient ammunition. If there are no heavy artillery, if you want to fight a tough battle, you have to fill in your lives. Wouldn't this be a joke about the lives of the soldiers?" Wan Fulin said.
"Why is this a joke? This is an anti-Japanese war and a national war. Since you are a soldier, you will have the awareness of dying on the battlefield!"
"The plan is good. Who will serve as the commander-in-chief? Where does the supply of logistics supplies come from? You can't let the soldiers go hungry and go to the battlefield in single clothes. Halfway through the fight, there is no ammunition. This is not ridiculous!"
"We can aim for the first phase, so that our supply of food and ammunition is barely enough. During this period, we can ask zy to allocate food and ammunition from the south, so that this problem can be solved!" Yu Xiaohou said.
Lao Jiang raised his eyes and nose. He was allocating food and ammunition for the "suppression of bandits", and was still talking about loans with the British. Where did the money and grain support you?
Besides, I have given all the money and food to you, the powerful people in this place, what is his direct descendants eating and drinking. When your strength grows, and then threatens yourself, do you really think I am that stupid?
"Japan is just a small country. Although it has achieved some achievements since the Meiji Restoration, it has deluded to overtake our great country. This is just a matter of ringworm, and GCD is the biggest concern. The reason why the Japanese bully us is because we have not completed national unification and have devoted all our energy to internal friction. If we can quickly unify the country, will the Japanese dare to bully us like this?" Old Chiang stood up and said excitedly.
"The Chairman is right. To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the internal affairs. We must first eliminate internal dangers so that we can fight against the enemy wholeheartedly. If internal troubles are not eliminated, it will eventually lead to huge disasters. The consequences are far more terrifying than the Japanese occupying several of our provinces!" Zhang Qun said clearly.
"Xiaohou, fighting against the Japanese invaders is the responsibility of our soldiers, and we have no choice but to fight against Japan, but we have not yet reached the opportunity to fight against Japan. The League of Nations is still trying to give up the efforts of mediation. For the overall situation, necessary sacrifices are necessary!" Lao Jiang said earnestly.
This attitude is obvious. It does not support Yu Xiaohou's risky military actions. Whether it is because of his selfishness, the current situation, or the chaotic situation in North China, it is not appropriate to take rash military actions.
Once the Japanese fight back desperately, North China will be a mess!
A trace of gloom flashed in Yu Xiaohou's eyes. He actually knew that the possibility of his proposal being accepted was extremely low, but he still wanted to let go and see if there was such an opportunity.
"According to the deployment of the Military Commission, our army will take a defensive position in North China and concentrate its efforts to deploy defenses along the Great Wall. Our goal is to prevent the Japanese from crossing the Great Wall. We will persist for three to five years, or even longer, to prepare for zy preparations!" He Jingzhi stood up and said.
Although Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "staying home first when fighting foreign countries" has been criticized, it has been recognized in GMD, and of course there are quite a certain number of opposition parties!
But Chiang Kai-shek did not have any strategic vision. At least he knew that there must be a war between China and Japan and began to actively prepare for war. This is also undeniable. If GF does nothing, the final outcome of the Anti-Japanese War is really hard to say!
But Chiang Kai-shek was determined to eliminate his confidant "gcd", and the facts proved that this was also correct.
Lao Jiang did nothing wrong. From his perspective and gmd, he is undoubtedly a wise leader, but his mistake is that he only represents the interests of a small group of people and goes against the trend of history!
Anyone who blocks history from moving forward will be crushed to pieces by the wheels of history. There is no doubt.
History chose him, but history also abandoned him.
Strictly speaking, Lao Jiang is just a tragic lucky person!
I have to say that choice is really important, especially for a man, unless he wants to be mediocre and useless all his life, he must make the right choice.
"According to the requirements of the anti-Japanese situation in North China, the Military Commission decided to reorganize the troops of various provinces and regions in North China to remove the drought and preserve the essence, improve the organizational strength, and launch a lasting confrontation with the Japanese army!" He Jingzhi continued.
All the generals looked shaking. It has been a day or two for Chiang Kai-shek to intervene in the military affairs of North China. However, people use this righteousness to suppress it, which is the name of anti-Japanese war, which forces you to submit. Otherwise, this morality and public condemnation will force you to get out of office!
Isn’t Zhang Hanqing a lesson? Who would still want to be Zhang Hanqing’s second place?
In fact, before this, gmzf reorganized local powerful factions in North China, and the Jinsui Army was reduced to four infantry troops, one Zhengtai Route Protection Army, three independent brigades, three cavalry brigades, and eleven artillery regiments.
Song Zheyuan, the Northwest Army, was reorganized into the 29th Route Army, and later changed to the 29th Army.
Then Sun Dianying's 40th Army.
The Third Route Army of Hanfuqu, Shandong, and the Fifth Division and the First Brigade, had a total of 40 regiments, totaling more than 60,000 people.
As for the Northeast Army, the organization was relatively chaotic, and the troops outside the pass basically no longer existed. Some surrendered to the enemy, while others were dispersed and absorbed by the East Anti-Japanese War. Basically, the established Northeast Army no longer existed.
The focus of the Northeast Army in the Pass this time is that the main combat force in combating Japan is the Northeast Army. This time, Chiang Kai-shek personally went north, and his purpose was also for the Northeast Army!
"Successful kings and defeated enemies" can be used not only in hostile positions, but also in your own people.
If you are defeated, you will have no status and be slaughtered by others. If the Northeast army is defeated, you must recognize it. If you do not recognize it, you will not be able to do so!
Chiang Kai-shek was worried that he would not find an opportunity to weaken the strength of the Northeast Army. Well, when the opportunity came, he would not be able to find a reason to refute it in the name of righteousness.
Zhang Hanqing was unwilling to attend the meeting, so he probably couldn't accept such humiliation. The atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became suppressed!
Although the main goal of this military meeting was to discuss North China's policies and strategies against Japan, it was actually the issue of the Northeast Army, and the focus was on how to deal with the Northeast Army and stabilize the situation in North China.
Now the possibility of the Japanese taking the initiative to attack has been greatly reduced. This time, when the Japanese provoked the Rehe Battle, although they occupied most of Yuguan and Rehe, military rushes such as Taonan, Tongliao and Zhengjiatun were also recovered by Dongkang, and the losses were roughly equal. It can be said that the two sides fought a half-pound to eight taels!
However, it is important to consider that people are fighting against one, and they are fighting against one, which is enough to show that there is a considerable gap between China and Japan.
"Military Committee, you have decided on a reorganization plan. Xiaohou and Shoushan, take a look. If you have no objection, just follow the above plan!" Old Jiang waved his hand and asked his secretary Wang Shihe to take out a folder and handed it over!
"The Military Commission wants to reduce the Northeast Army into four infantry troops and one cavalry army..." Yu Xiaohou opened the folder and shouted in surprise!
"Yes, according to the current strength of the Northeast Army, the numbers of the five armies are enough!" He Jingzhidao.
The Jinsui Army is also the number of five armies, but they also have three cavalry brigades, three independent brigades and eleven artillery regiments, with a total force of about 100,000 people!
However, the original 31st Army Shang Zhen (historically the 32nd Army, but the 32nd Army number was given to the Dong Kang, and now it has been changed to 31st, readers should not pick on it) was divided, and the total strength of the Jinsui Army remains at about 100,000 people.
Chapter completed!
