578 Chiang Kai-shek's Xi'an Incident, Santanggu Incident

With a bang, a tea cup was shattered, and it turned out that the GCD person behind Zhang Xueliang slammed the tea cup in his hand on the bluestone floor.

The man stood up with an angry face, a face that was originally quite fair and white, and now it was seriously distorted by anger: "Chiang Kai-shek, do you know what you are talking about? Your Kuomintang wants to attack three battleships flying the Soviet flag, this is an act of war," said the corners of his mouth, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your Kuomintang British and American masters will agree to your attack on the Soviet Union?" Capitalism is now on the verge of extinction, if there is another world war...... Hehe, I'm afraid it's the day when the red flag is "planted" all over the world."

"You" The anger on Chiang Kai-shek's face flashed, and then he calmed down, at present, although the Kuomintang won the naval battle in the Bohai Bay, but it paid a huge price for it, Qinhuangdao and Huludao, the two major supply ports were destroyed by Japanese naval guns, and there was no maintenance of more than a month, and they didn't want to be put into use again, and the ammunition and ammunition reserves of the Kuomintang army in western Liaoning lasted for half a month at most, so now the only way is to borrow from the Chinese G. The attack on the three "Soviet" battleships was nothing more than a verbal threat, and if it was to do so, it would give the Soviet Union an excuse to intervene in the war, and then it would be overwhelmed.

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek had nothing to say, the young Bolshevik "revealed" a smug look, waved his arms vigorously, and just wanted to open his mouth to continue to condemn Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary traitorous country, but Zhang Xueliang on the side preemptively spoke: "Comrade Bogu, don't get excited, now is still the critical moment of joint resistance against Japan, and the prime minister has also explained when he came." ”

At this point he paused and then added: "Mr. Chiang, the battleship does not belong to us now, so we have no right to deal with it, but I can convey the meaning of your party to the Central Committee of our party, and then they will convey it to the Soviet Union." I believe that there will be a solution that is acceptable to all parties. Now let's discuss the issue of Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan. ”

"The port and airport in Qinhuangdao have been destroyed by the Japanese, can you still occupy it in the name of anti-Japanese resistance?" Bogu lifted his glasses and took over the topic: "We don't ask for the responsible person now, as long as you withdraw from Shanhaiguan, you will not be blamed for the past." Only when this is solved can we begin to discuss the passage of your supplies. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Xueliang with a blue face and a white face, and asked calmly: "Is this what you mean?" Do you really have the heart to hand over the 30 million fathers and elders in the Northeast to the Japanese to enslave? ”

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's groundless accusations, Zhang Xueliang sighed in his heart and shook his head slowly: "Mr. Jiang, now...... Although it is a cooperation between the two parties, after all, the two parties are not a family, and some things must not be explained first, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not a two-party issue but a two-party issue now, right?" Chiang Kai-shek sneered a few times and brought the topic to the Soviet Republic that was now being prepared: "Now there is an invasion by foreign enemies on the one hand, and there are still people who want to split the country on the other hand......

"This is not a split country, but a change in the national system and constitution, which has been discussed and adopted by the Political Consultative Industry Association meeting, and represents the will of the people of the whole country. Bogu said in a relaxed tone: "The establishment of a Soviet state is the inevitable choice of history and the choice of the people of the whole country. ”

"Yes, it's the same as Mr. Sun......" Zhang Xueliang said hesitantly.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Zhang Xueliang with regretful eyes, and shook his head slightly: "Han Qing, if you do this, it will cause the country to split" As he spoke, he glanced at Bogu again: "A divided China does not have enough strength to resist the invasion of the Soviet Union, this is their conspiracy"

"Nonsense" Bogu slapped the table, seeing that he was about to have another seizure, Zhang Xueliang subconsciously frowned, and hurriedly spoke first: "Let's not talk about this issue first, let's not talk about it yet...... Let's talk about Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan first. He thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to withdraw from the Guanwai, we can allow you to send a batch of supplies to the northeast, so that your army in the northeast can be maintained until Huludao Port is repaired, what do you think?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, this kind of "danger" of Shanhaiguan is not enough for the current Kuomintang army and navy, and it is okay to return it to the Central G now, and it is not difficult to fight back when the northeast is settled.

"Okay, I'll give Brother Han Qing a face, and Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan can be returned." Chiang Kai-shek said slowly: "But I can't do this alone, and I'll give you an answer after I have discussed it with the other comrades of the 'presidium'." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xueliang turned a blind eye to the constant calls from Bogu beside him, and nodded in agreement.

"In addition, please go and persuade the princes of Zhongg again, now that there are two 'governments' in one country, we can still talk." Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly and said: "We are now in the period of political training, and when the period of training is over, it will be the constitutional period, and we will return the government to the people." It is better for you to train and govern on your territory for 16 years, and gradually realize the nationalization of the army...... When the time comes, it will be up to the voters to decide which party will come to power. ”

Although Chiang Kai-shek in history is ****, but in this time and space, he is not the boss of the Kuomintang, if it is really ** is also Hu Hanmin ** so under the thinking that the butt decides the head, Lao Chiang is now also preparing for the arrival of the constitutional period In his opinion, when the constitutional period arrives, the probability of him being elected president is still quite large. Because the current Kuomintang is actually the dominant Cantonese system, there are four Cantonese people among the five bigwigs, and these people have some roots in Liangguang and Fujian, but their connections and layout in the southeastern provinces are not as good as those of him, a Zhejiang bigwig. With the southeastern constituency as a backing, winning the party primary election should be nine out of ten, and with the support of the KMT, there is no problem in winning the presidential election. It is much safer to take this path to become the leader of the country than to launch a coup d'état or something......

……

Boom Boom Boom ......

In the Huaqing Pond in Xi'an, the representatives of the two parties were arguing with each other. Looking out from the artillery observation post on the top of Baitai Mountain, on the Tashan defensive line, columns of smoke suddenly rose from the Kuomintang positions on the Tashan defensive line, and each posture went straight to the sky. At first, the columns of smoke rose in rows almost at the same time, and then they were no longer distinguished. Clusters of clusters are "chaotic".

The fragments of the deer and the horse, the cover of the civil fortifications, and the stump and broken arms of the human body can be vaguely seen lifted into the sky. After the battle, the entire defense line was shrouded in blue-black smoke. The smell of gunpowder filled the battlefield, flowing slowly, and even An Sihua could smell it as far away as the top of Baitai Mountain

An Sihua's face was gloomy and he looked at the empty sky with a gray sky, and there was not a single plane in the sky. The Kuomintang naval aviation, which was responsible for providing air cover, had not yet arrived, and since the two major airfields of Qinhuangdao and Huludao had been destroyed, they had not yet been repaired. Therefore, the Kuomintang army could only use the A2A dive bombers of the naval aviation to take off from the airfield on the Shandong Peninsula and cross the entire Bohai Bay to Huludao to drop bombs. It is only that the flight range of more than 300 kilometers greatly restricts the aircraft's airtime and bomb load...... Therefore, the suppressive effect on the Japanese artillery group was not great.

What made An Sihua and Li Zongren even more troublesome was the interruption of the logistics line, because the two supply ports were temporarily unusable, and the artillery group that was originally on par with the Japanese army could not exert its firepower. An Sihua had already ordered Gui Yongqing, the commander-in-chief of the artillery, that the amount of ammunition and "charge" consumed by each cannon should not exceed 20 rounds per day, that is, the entire artillery group should also shoot 18,000 rounds of shells a day; if you count the three divisions in the mountainous areas of western Liaoning on the northern front, the entire battlefield in western Liaoning will consume about 25,000 rounds of shells of more than 70 mm per day, and the artillery shell reserves in the Northeast Theater will at most last for a month's defensive operations.

The Japanese Army, on the other hand, is taking advantage of this rare opportunity to launch round after round of onslaught on the entire front in a desperate manner. From the early morning of 13 February to the present, but a little more than two days, the Tashan defense line has withstood 23 fierce attacks by the Japanese army, the first three of which were tank charges, and once broke through the positions defended by the 11th Division.

The Japanese shelling lasted for a full thirty minutes, and the roar of the landslide and tsunami gradually thinned out. Before the smoke of gunpowder that permeated the entire front dissipated, there was a faint sound of long and short waves of people whistling. The Japanese infantry offensive had already begun...... It was now the Japanese who had the numerical advantage on the battlefield, and they were quite generous in using this advantage, throwing in almost a brigade of infantry in each offensive, launching an attack along the entire line of the ten-kilometer-wide battlefield, and in the key areas of the attack, the line of the charging infantry was so dense that it was as if they were fighting a sea of people. Seeing such a style of play in front of him, An Sihua couldn't help but think of the world war more than 20 years ago

Trenches, heavy artillery, barbed wire, machine guns, crowds...... This style of play is purely a replica of the world war. It's just the number of lives and the number of shells. After two days and two nights of fighting, the number of dead people on the battlefield is incalculable, but there are still countless young lives that have been continuously thrown into this war meat grinder

An Sihua put down the binoculars and said in a low voice: "You still plan to let the Eleventh Division support for a few days?" ”

Li Zongren also put down the binoculars and shook his head slightly: "The 11th Division is going to be crippled this time, and it has repelled more than 20 attacks by the Japanese in two days and two nights, and it has suffered more than half of its own casualties. I'm going to let them come down after this round and let the 18th Division go up. Saying that, he sighed again: "The Japanese firepower is too fierce, where did they get so many shells?" Isn't Lushun Kou blocked? ”。

An Sihua shook his head: "Probably came by land from North Korea, right?" Saying that, he sneered again: "It is also possible that the Japanese are making a desperate bet, they know that the docks in Huludao and Qinhuangdao will be repaired by us sooner or later, and it will be time for us to exert our power."

A trace of worry flashed on Li Zongren's face, if the Japanese army could maintain this kind of attack, the Kuomintang army in western Liaoning would not be able to maintain the dock repair no matter what.

"Brother Sihua, do you want to order the Second Army to retreat south? Let the 20th Division also come over, so that the 300,000 troops are close together, and they should be able to hold out until the dock is repaired. Li Zongren hesitated for a moment and put forward his own suggestion. The battlefield on the northern front commanded by Xia Wei was also facing a great crisis, not only the fierce Japanese offensive in the front, but also the lack of peace in his flank......

"Give up the northern line ......" An Sihua took a deep breath, the mountainous area of western Liaoning on the northern line is the main road for the development of China G to the northeast in Guannai, and once it is abandoned, it is equivalent to opening the door for China G to go east. He shook his head slowly: "Wait a minute, there are still talks in Xi'an in the past two days, if we can exchange Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan for a batch of supplies, we can hold on." ”

……

Outside the Dagu dock of the Tianjin Weizhong G Red Navy.

At this time, it was a bleak winter seascape, and there were few people walking around inside and outside the dock stacks. Only a few workers in old padded jackets, with the help of Red Marines, transported the tools and materials for repairing the ships to the three bullet-riddled giant ships docked at the docks.

In the distance, the Dagu Dock Iron Works also rarely emitted gray smoke, and there was a weak air that went straight up to the gray sky. As soon as the sea breeze pulled, the wisps scattered.

Even the waters of Bohai Bay are gray and misty.

There were three warships docked on the dock, all flying bright red sickle and hammer flags at the stern. The three boats were about the same size. The bow of the ship has a golden chrysanthemum coat of arms, which is the family crest of the Japanese emperor. These three huge warships were the battleship "Hyuga", the battlecruiser "Kongo", and the battlecruiser "Kirishima"; But now they have a new name, the "Hyuga" has been renamed the "Soviet Union", the "King Kong" has been renamed the "Ukrainian Soviet", and the "Kirishima" has been renamed the "Belarusian Soviet".

Although the three battleships belonged to the Soviet Union at the moment, it was the Red Navy of the Central G that took them over. About 2,000 sailors and workers in white sailor uniforms on the three ships were busy carrying various tools and supplies, some were painting bullet marks all over the hull, and some were cleaning the purple and black blood stains on the deck.

Two generals, dressed in crisp white naval officers' uniforms, were on the bridge of the "Soviet Union". One of them, who was in his forties, short and fat, and wore a pair of black-rimmed round glasses, was none other than Shen Honglie, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army. This person is a graduate of the Japanese Navy, and once served in the Naval Staff Bureau of the Beijing "Government" and the Army University, and later took refuge in the Feng Department and was reused by the Zhang family father and son to become the actual leader of the Northeast Army Navy, and is now the deputy commander of the Red Navy (the commander is Zhang Xueliang), and is actually presiding over the work of the Red Navy. Another person, Li Zhilong, who is the only "naval talent" in China and G, graduated from the Yantai Naval Military Academy, and was also entrusted with the important task of serving as the political commissar of the Red Navy.

"What a good battleship, with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, the main armor belt is 305 mm, the frontal shield of the turret is also 305 mm thick, and there are twelve 356 mm naval guns in six turrets...... It's a good thing, if only it could belong to our Chinese Navy...... It's a pity to give the USSR, it's a pity......"

Since these three battleships arrived at the Dagu wharf, Shen Honglie immediately boarded the "Soviet Union" and brought his own headquarters with him, and at this time, the command flag of the Red Navy's North Sea Fleet (Shen Honglie was also the commander) also fluttered high on the mast of this battleship. This is a bit of an addiction...... Anyway, the Kuomintang has now refused to allow entry to all foreigners with Soviet passports, and the Soviet sailors who came to take over the battleships will not be able to come

Li Zhilong frowned and sighed softly, although he was a political commissar, he was also a naval soldier who was upright and reviving the Chinese Navy, and he was not the kind of activist with particularly advanced ideas and confused brains.

Li Zhilong shook his head: "Elder Zhang (Shen Honglie), this boat is given to us, I'm afraid we won't be able to drive it, let alone raise it, right?" This is a battleship, can we afford it with our little money? Forget it, I'll be satisfied if the Soviets can help with two of the most advanced light cruisers. ”

Shen Honglie sneered: "The most advanced light cruiser can be built by the Soviet Union?" That can only be built by the United States, Britain and the Chinese imperialists, and the 'Königsberg' class built by the Germans in the shipyard in Canton is good. If you can exchange that 'King Kong' class for ......"

"Zhang Lao" Li Zhilong hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was no one else on the bridge, so he sighed softly: "You can't say this 'nonsense', if it is heard by the Soviet adviser Zhukov, I can't keep you old."

Shen Honglie shook his head disdainfully: "What does that drunkard know about the navy?" In Tian, let me tell you, the Soviet Navy is not good at all, Tsarist Russia was okay at that time, but it was not good when it came to the Soviet Union. If you want to learn the navy, you have to learn from Britain, the United States, and Germany or Chinese imperialism. You see, the Japanese had such a powerful fleet, and in less than a day, they were sunk by the Chinese imperialists, and 35 warships were really powerful, how did they do it? I heard that a battleship was sunk? I really don't understand......"

As soon as Shen Honglie's words came to this, he suddenly heard a dull sound of "boom", and then the hull of the ship was slammed, and Shen Honglie and Li Zhilong were both not paying attention, and they were all shaken to the ground.

"A torpedo is a torpedo" Shen Honglie was a strictly trained naval officer, and he knew that he had been hit by a torpedo just after a little thought. When he got up with the help of Li Zhilong, he found that the battleship had tilted to the right, and when he looked out the window, the other two battlecruisers were also emitting billowing black smoke......

"Abandon the ship, abandon the ship" Shen Honglie shouted at a few officers who ran in in a panic: "Go and organize the abandonment of the ship"

"The old battleship Zhang is still saved, but it was only hit by a torpedo." Li Zhilong grabbed Shen Honglie, who was running out.

Shen Honglie glanced back at Li Zhilong, and said with a wry smile: "I can't save it, our sailors are not Japanese, and this ship has just been 'touched', and I don't even know the way, so hurry up and abandon the ship."
