At this time, the footsteps of the Qilin Legion to the south were once again opened, and they had entered the territory of Fujian and killed Guangzhou. In Hubei, Zhang Zuolin's Phoenix Army was also ready to go, and Wang Maoru issued an order as the commander of the National Defense Force, and the Phoenix Army went south, immediately recovered Hunan, and then waited for an opportunity to enter Sichuan. The attitude of the Wehrmacht military suddenly hardened, and the movements were very large, and it could even be said that they were extremely fast, so that the other warlords did not react for a while. The two legions worked day and night, coordinating with all their might in the provinces of Fujian and Hubei, and with the assistance of CIA agents, the recalcitrant enemy disintegrated and surrendered under the temptation of money or the threat of force.

At the same time, Sun Liwen returned to Guangdong and immediately convened a meeting of all KMT members, showing all KMT veterans a picture of the KMT winning the general election. Since many KMT veterans were recommended for senatorship, Sun Liwen's proposal was voted on by a narrow margin. Zhang Kuian, who was stranded in Guangzhou, immediately visited Sun Liwen and offered to assist the Wehrmacht in dismantling the Cantonese army. Sun Liwen handed over this time to Jiang Weiguang to handle. Jiang Weiguang quickly contacted all the KMT members in the Guangdong Army, and prepared to join the National Defense Forces at a later date.

The KMT also had different attitudes about Sun Liwen's decision to reach a compromise with Wang Maoru to accept the northern government, and not everyone liked Wang Maoru, and they did not take the ethereal promise to heart. It can be said that the influence and action of the Kuomintang at this time have fallen to the lowest point in history, and it does not choose to surrender, and when the national defense forces enter the city, the Kuomintang will once again be the party in exile? Therefore. Half of the KMT expressed their support, half chose to remain silent, and the decision to support the reunification of the National Defense Forces was resolved. Chiang Weiguang quickly and secretly passed the decision on to all the KMT officers as well as the hidden officers. Ask them to act now.

In April of the 10th year of the Republic of China, Zhao Zengfu led the Qilin Army to Longyan County, Fujian, and demanded that the Guangdong army immediately withdraw and return to Guangdong Province. Chen Jiongming ordered the supplementary battalion of the Second Division of the Guangdong Army stationed in Longyan County not to retreat, but unexpectedly, before his order was conveyed to the front line, the artillery and planes of the Wehrmacht directly began bombing the defenders of Longyan County of the Guangdong Army. When the supplementary battalion tried to escape, it found itself surrounded, and the Wehrmacht infantry had just jumped out of the trench with bayonets in hand. The Cantonese army over there put up a white flag and surrendered.

Chen Jiongming was angry enough when he learned that the striker had surrendered without a fight, but then he calmly analyzed that the national defense army was strong and strong. If you really resist, you really can't beat others. Especially Lu Yongxiang, known as the king of East China, the 80,000-strong army was wiped out in a blink of an eye, and he guessed that there were more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 Cantonese troops. How can you resist it?

I thought it would take time for the Wehrmacht to move south. It takes time, but I didn't expect people to rush south non-stop, and they can really walk, it's only been less than a month, and they have already reached the doorstep.

Just when Chen Jiongming hesitated a little, the first regiment of his most elite first division suddenly announced an uprising in the city of Guangzhou, and all the officers and soldiers of the first regiment supported the Guangdong army to join the national defense force, and the regiment commander Deng Yanda issued a fiercely worded telegram. Ask Chen Jiongming to go into the wilderness and demand national reunification. Demand support for national elections.

The defection of the 1st Regiment, the most elite of the 1st Division, caused Chen Jiongmingru, the leader of the Cantonese army, to suffer a heavy blow, and his most trusted army betrayed him, who could he trust? Chen Jiongming immediately called Deng Keng, who also looked depressed and said: "Guangzhou City has been blocked, and we can't get out." Chen Jiongming said: "How about we go to the concession first, and then convene?" ”

Deng Keng thought for a while and asked, "What about after the Guangdong army is summoned?" ”

Cheng Qian, commander of the Hunan Army, not only announced that he would accept the reorganization of the Hunan Army, but also announced that he would quit the Kuomintang and become a person without party affiliation to continue to make contributions to the country.

"This old fox." Deng Keng scolded.

"It's President Sun who should have a headache." Chen Jiongming said, "Cheng Qian is a veteran of the Kuomintang, what kind of impact will such a grandiose ** have on the reputation of the Kuomintang." The two didn't say a few words, and there was a shootout outside the headquarters of the Guangdong Army, and the commander of the guard battalion ran in with a box cannon and said, "Deng Yanda led the first regiment to fight." ”

"his mother! This anti-bone boy! Chief of Staff Deng Keng said angrily, "How many of them came?" ”

"The whole regiment came, and two cannons were pulled." The soldier said anxiously, "What should I do, Dashuai?" ”

Chen Jiongming clenched his fists and said angrily: "I didn't lose to Wang Maoru, but I lost to Deng Yanda, a backbone, when was he bought?" ”

Deng Keng said: "It must have been bought by Zhang Kuian and Zhang Dingguo, it must have been him, Dashuai, I sent someone to kill him." ”

Chen Jiongming shook his head and said, "If you kill him, Wang Maoru will definitely hunt you and me to the ends of the earth, and even his family will not let go." This person is too ruthless, and he is good at chopping grass and touching the nine clans. Deng Keng also heard of the most notorious Wehrmacht first-class chase and kill order, that is, the ancient Chinese torture Zhulian Nine Clans changed their names.

"Shi Yuan, the current plan is to surrender to the National Defense Army, otherwise Deng Yanda will kill us, and we can only be the soul of the sword." Chen Jiongming said weakly.

Deng Keng objected: "The Cantonese army can still fight, Deng Yanda's rebellion is just an example, we can hold on and wait for the fourth regiment to come back." ”

"The 4th Regiment Support ......"

"Report!" The director of the translation and telegraph department ran in again and said worriedly, "Urgent report." ”

"Say."

"The National Defense Army divided its troops into nine routes in one day, and respectively broke through Shanghang County, Yongding County, Nanjing County, Longxi County, Heping County, Yunxiao County, Zhangpu County, Zhao'an County, and Wuping County, and recovered all the territories occupied by our army in southern Fujian." Seeing that Chen Jiongming was silent, the director of the translation and telegraph division secretly admired in his heart that he was still calm, and said: "The coast guard of the National Defense Force has passed through the Taiwan Strait, and 27 warships are about to arrive in Hong Kong. ”

Where is Chen Jiongming calm, he is stupid, the speed of this national defense army is too fast, and the troops are divided into nine roads and nine county towns in one day? The Wehrmacht is so generous that it does not hesitate to make such a big move in order to deal with itself. Chen Jiongming immediately gathered his army, abandoned the periphery, and prepared to send the main force to hold the dangerous pass. However, the attitude of the officers of the Cantonese army was also uncertain, after all, in the face of a powerful national defense force, no one would fight with the determination to die.

"The Fourth Regiment, where is the Fourth Regiment? Where are they now? Deng Keng said hurriedly.

The chief of the translation and telecommunications division sighed: "The telegram sent to the Fourth Regiment has sunk into the sea, I don't know if they have broken the radio station or ......."

"Or what?"

"It's still a mutiny."

"Fart!" Deng Keng said angrily, "How can the Fourth Regiment rebel, the Fourth Regiment ...... 4th Regiment ......"

"Shiyuan, don't blame others." Chen Jiongming couldn't do anything, "Order the army, hold on, retreat, prepare for the backhand, and ......" He hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk to the very big president for help." ”

Deng Keng immediately said: "It should have been like this a long time ago." ”

However, when Chen Jiongming's car just started, he was stunned by a news, and he was completely shocked by this news and lost confidence.

On behalf of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government, President Sun Liwen issued a telegram announcing his support for national reunification, support for the National Defense Forces to regain military power, and support the re-election of the parliamentary and the re-election of the president. He voluntarily stepped down from the very big presidency and announced that he would run for the presidency and compete with Xu Shichang for the presidential seat, and all members of the Kuomintang supported Sun Liwen's campaign. On the same day, Sun Liwen announced that he would step down as president, dissolve the extraordinary parliament, and dissolve the Guangdong revolutionary government, and the Kuomintang officially appeared in history for the second time as a political party recognized by the Beiyang regime in the north.

After a night of fighting, the Guangdong Army Headquarters was full of dead bodies, Chen Jiongming's guards held out all night, but they did not wait for reinforcements, but just waited for the news of Sun Liwen's participation in the presidential election, which made his hands tremble, Sun Liwen actually did not go on the Northern Expedition at this time? How could he not go on the Northern Expedition?

But in fact, what no one may know is that Sun Wen had already learned from his Japanese private doctor that his liver disease had worsened, especially when he secretly went north to Beijing in winter, which made Sun Wen feel uncomfortable. When he was in Beijing, he rested early, and Lin Xiumei was not only his chief guard, but also Sun Liwen's health care doctor, and told him to take medicine in real time. Since ancient times, liver disease is an incurable disease, Sun Liwen learned that he had a chronic terminal illness after an examination in the hospital, he hoped to become president in his lifetime, seeing that the Kuomintang became the largest party, Sun Liwen thought that time was running out, so he cast the most important vote.

That night, Chen Jiongming didn't sleep all night, and finally decided to announce his departure.

On April 6, the 10th year of the Republic of China, Chen Jiongming, commander of the Guangdong Army, announced that he would go to the field, but would never surrender to Deng Yanda's department, and announced that the Guangdong Army would accept the reorganization of the National Defense Force.

On 7 April, Huo Bin's Division of the 7th Division of the Qilin Regiment of the National Defense Army began to enter the territory of Guangdong, accepted surrenders all the way, and entered the city of Guangzhou unimpeded, accepting Chen Jiongming's surrender.

Subsequently, Wang Maoru accepted Chen Jiongming's Cantonese Army in the name of the commander of the National Defense Force, and announced that the Guangdong Army would be reorganized into the 37th Division of the National Defense Force of 18,000 people, with three brigades under its jurisdiction: 106, 107, and 108. And because of Deng Yanda's great contribution in forcing Chen Jiongming to surrender, he was specially promoted to the brigade commander of the National Defense Forces. However, it was not the brigade commander of the 37th Division of the Guangdong Army, but the 19th Brigade of the Huo Bin Division of the 7th Division as the brigade commander. Deng Yanda jumped from the commander of the Cantonese Army to the commander of the main brigade of the National Defense Force, and his promotion speed made everyone envious and jealous. Chen Jiongming did not hold the post of commander of the 37th Division because of the strong opposition of the Kuomintang and because he was a general of the defeated army. Therefore, Wang Maoru appointed Chen Jiongming as the director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War and ordered him to rectify all the arsenals and military parts factories of the Republic of China. Deng Keng, chief of staff of the Guangdong Army, was also transferred from the Guangdong Army and went north to serve as the commander of the 51st Brigade of the 18th Division under Li Pinxian's Teng Snake Army, stationed in Vladivostok.

The commander of the 37th Division of the Guangdong Army was Sun Chuanfang, a former direct officer, and the 37th Division was reorganized with Guangzhou, and after the reorganization was completed, it was stationed in Guangzhou to protect the security of Guangdong. The eliminated soldiers were immediately reorganized into police officers in various parts of Guangdong Province, and the governor of Guangdong Province was appointed as the acting governor of Guangdong Province.
