Chapter 1643: The Battle of Tianjin! (1)
In March, the weather in the north is still cold.
After a month of delay, the Northeast Army began a new round of reorganization. Four infantry troops, plus one Second Cavalry Army (Huang Xiansheng's unit of the Second Cavalry Division), three independent artillery brigades and two independent artillery regiments (actually already in name only) were reduced to two artillery brigades...
After the reorganization, each unit transferred defense and replaced defense. This time, the defense was basically completed within the Northeast Army, which means that some defense areas were exchanged.
Among them, the striking thing is that Wang Yizhe, who was stationed in the South Heaven Gate and Gubeikou, was transferred to the Luandong area, and a major exchange was made with General He Zhuguo's 57th Army!
The 67th Army headquarters is located in Qinhuangdao.
At the same time, the Sixty-Seventh Army also took over the defense from Lengkou to Shanhaiguan. Except for Shanhaiguan, the rest of the city walls were still under the control of the Central Team.
This is much better than in history!
After the Japanese army invaded Rehe in history, they then launched an invasion within the pass. Our anti-Japanese military and civilians resisted desperately, but they still failed to prevent the Japanese invaders from entering the pass. North China was almost completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders!
But now, the fundamental force of the Japanese army launched an attack on our Great Wall as in history, and the situation is much better than in history!
However, if you want to completely stop the Japanese invaders' ambition, it is obviously far from enough to rely on your current strength!
Japan has ambitions for North China. North China has a vast territory and rich resources, and is also the core of China's economy and culture!
Occupy North China is one of the strategic goals that Japan dreams of achieving. Unfortunately, in the current situation, it is difficult for Japan to launch another war!
Now Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of the Japanese army, and the Qing Dynasty entered the pass from here and conquered the Qing Dynasty for three hundred years.
Now that this heroic pass is once again controlled by the ambitious alien race, this is a great shame for every Chinese!
This time, the Northeast Army general, known as the Imperial Guard, was transferred to Luandong, which was regarded as a powerful signal by the outside world!
That is, the Northeast Army may have to take action against Shanhaiguan.
The Sixty-Seventh Army concentrated the essence of the Northeast Army, whether it was the former Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army, known as the Imperial Guard, or the former Fourth Brigade of the Northeast Army, He Lizhong (formerly deputy brigade commander of the 7th Brigade), the reorganized number was 110th Division, the former 12th Division, the brigade commander Zhang Tingshu, and the eldest son of the auxiliary commander Zhang Zuoxiang!
In addition, Huang Xiansheng's Second Cavalry Division was also equipped in the Luandong area, which was reorganized and became the Second Cavalry Army.
It is equipped with an independent artillery brigade, and basically the best artillery and artillery of the Northeast Army are concentrated here.
On the basis of this, the Beiping Military Branch announced the establishment of the Luandong Garrison District. Wang Yizhe was the commander of the Garrison District and Huang Xiansheng was the deputy commander.
Such military changes made the people in Ping and Tianjin feel happy, and it feels that the Northeast Army is going to attack the Japanese army!
Japan also had such a judgment. Kenji Doihara, who suddenly made such a military mobilization and was competent for the chief of staff of the North China Garage Army, continued to move forward, and used his personal relationships established in Peking and Tianjin to continuously spy on the real intention of the Northeast Army's move.
The Northeast Army was reorganized and replaced by the garrison. At this time, the Dongkong Army basically completed the reorganization and reduction work.
The two armies completed their respective strategic deployments almost at the same time. As Zhang Hanqing stepped down, the Minister of Military Affairs He Jingzhi was the Minister of Military Affairs of the Peking Military Branch.
"We must prevent China from taking extreme actions!" The base camp issued severe warnings to the Tianjin garrison troops and the Kwantung Army respectively.
Strictly stop any provocative behavior and maintain a certain degree of restraint against the provocations of the Chinese army!
Japan's mentality of not willing to fight with China at this moment is fully exposed!
However, many people in China have not seen clearly the guilty inside story of Japan at this moment. They also think that Japan is powerful and not easy to mess with. They can no longer give Japan the excuse to start a war!
When Japan saw that China did not seem to have a war, they felt relieved and no longer feared. They continued to make tough statements on the League of Nations. Only the direct negotiations between China and Japan can resolve the Manchuria issue and the Yuguan issue!
However, the international community can be involved in mediation and supervision, but mediation countries and supervisory countries shall not interfere in negotiations!
Japan's proposal was severely refuted by China, and the League of Nations also expressed its difficulty in accepting the conditions proposed by Japan!
"On February 24, Britain, the United States, France and other countries passed a resolution in the League of Nations, declaring that the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo does not conform to the principles generally recognized by international law, requiring that the League of Nations and its member states not recognize the puppet Manchukuo, and persuade the Japanese army to withdraw from Northeast China and regard the Northeast as an autonomous program for "co-management" of various countries.
Japanese representative Yoyu Matsuoka was very isolated and embarrassed and immediately withdrew from the venue..."
This resolution is known as the last major victory of the government in the field of diplomacy. The news came back to the country, and the country was filled with joy. Although the result of this resolution was not satisfactory, at least the League of Nations officially recognized that the actions of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast were an act of aggression!
Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations is almost a foregone conclusion!
Although the League of Nations passed a resolution, Japan does not recognize this resolution, and the League of Nations has no way to do so. The League of Nations itself does not have much binding force on member states.
Due to economic sanctions, Britain, the United States and other countries also hope to sell their domestic surplus products to Japan.
This obviously doesn't work anymore, and at most it's just a look.
With military sanctions, who would be willing to fight with the Japanese to travel far away to China? Wars will kill people!
No one is willing to do such thankless things, let alone that the affairs of each country have not been done well in their own country, so how can they have the heart to manage other people's family affairs?
Japan saw through the essence of the national government and its attitude towards China gradually became tougher, with small movements constantly. The Tianjin plainclothes team, which had disappeared and had a tail between its tail, also began to come out to move!
Some pro-Japanese traitors also seemed to see a light, and walked out of their houses one after another, making a concerted concert with China and Japan.
There are still many pro-Japanese elements in the national government. Under their advocacy and influence, a trend of peace talks has exploded again and is becoming increasingly fierce!
The Japanese Foreign Minister made a speech and put forward the argument that the Sino-Japanese peace talks were divided into three steps. The first step was to start peace talks and discuss and resolve the Yuguan issue. The second step was the issue of Rehe belonging, and the third step was the Manchuria issue!
This step by step, steadily advances and establishes consultations and dialogues, and can completely solve the problem between China and Japan!
After Hirota Hirota made a speech, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government refuted it, claiming that Japan deliberately fooled China and induced China to make a wrong judgment. If the government agreed to the direct negotiation between China and Japan, it would be equivalent to a disguised recognition of the legality of Japan's occupation of the three northeastern provinces, Rehe and Shanhaiguan, which is absolutely impossible.
Since the League of Nations has passed a resolution requiring Japan to withdraw its troops from the three northeastern provinces and you do not withdraw your troops, let our army drive you out!
This statement from Foreign Minister Luo Wengan is quite satisfying, and it can be relieved, which is not in the interests of those in power in Nanjing.
In addition to putting political and military pressure on the Nanjing Government, Japan also secretly had contact with several princes in the south and was preparing to secretly support these princes to fight against zy!
This hit the waist of the Nanjing ruler!
The attitudes of Jiang Jiang and Wang Zhaoming, who felt huge pressure, gradually changed, especially Wang Zhaoming, who had already proposed the idea of resisting Japan and negotiating, and his attitude towards compromise with Japan was very obvious.
Under tremendous pressure, he has completely inclined to negotiate directly with Japan.
Chiang Kai-shek was still hesitating, Wang Zhaoming had already fallen over. If he goes back over, what will happen to the public opinion across the country?
At this time, Japanese ambassador to China Shigekimiya secretly visited Chiang Kai-shek.
The Japanese government is willing to provide low-interest loans to the Nanjing government, and can even film officers to help Nanjing train the army and help Chiang Kai-shek eliminate the organization.
Chiang Kai-shek has concerns that it is not a big problem to borrow from other countries, so borrowing from Japan is not a good thing.
Yuan Shikai's "Twenty-One" back then was ruined, and Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to repeat Yuan Shikai's mistakes.
But at the critical moment, the bandit suppression seemed to have received some funding. Not only did the Red Army get rich, but the weapons were also upgraded. Once the weapon was replaced, the combat effectiveness increased exponentially. The battle force of his own troops was extremely miserable. Although he had won some victories, the price he paid was a bit high, and he was a little underpaid!
With the secret funding of Lu Shan, the Red Army was much better in weapons than in history, and also received a large amount of medicine and food funding, and the living environment was greatly improved. You should know that the Red Army is the most difficult force. Give them a little chance to breathe, and the combat effectiveness that exploded is amazing!
Although Chiang Kai-shek had a certain strategic advantage, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the troops, under the same equipment conditions, GJ could not defeat the Red Army at all.
For this encirclement and suppression, Chiang Kai-shek carefully prepared for more than half a year and made the biggest arrangements for personnel and materials, but what he did not expect was that under such a strict blockade, the Red Army could still receive external assistance!
At first, he thought it was the guys in the south who didn't talk to secretly interfered in the Red Army, but later he found out that something was wrong!
The weapons of the Red Army are all Japanese, and many of them are brand new, which makes Chiang Kai-shek feel cold on his back!
The Japanese were so anxious that they actually secretly supported the Red Army to fight with me. Isn’t it obvious that they don’t want to complete the great cause of unification?
It was not that Chiang Kai-shek had not used intelligence to investigate who was secretly funding the Red Army, but after investigation, either the clues were interrupted or the person sent to investigate died in a bad life.
Who else can do this? Only the Japanese!
For this reason, Chiang Kai-shek angrily cursed the moral corruption of the "organization". On the surface, he shouted the slogan of anti-Japanese war, but in fact he had to deal with the Japanese invaders. However, he could not find the exact evidence, so he could only curse a few words in his heart!
Now the Japanese actually proposed to help him build an "organization". What do you think is this a ridiculous thing!
