Chapter 2: War and Politics (10)
Whether it's from the big picture or from a small profit. As long as the Xuebing Army has not been completely defeated by the Japanese, it is absolutely impossible for Song Zheyuan to clash with Ouyang Yunqi over trivial matters. The current situation in North China, not to mention the aggressiveness of the Japanese army, which forced all parties to show unprecedented "sincere unity", take Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, as an example, after Zhangjiakou was transferred to the 59th Army by the Nanjing government, Ouyang Yun could unilaterally tear up the agreement signed with Song Zheyuan at any time. Once the economic support of the Cadet Army is lost, the huge troops of the 29th Army are very likely to enter the dilemma of living in Shanxi again. At that time, there will be a big joke.
With this in mind, Song Zheyuan, who originally wanted to wait and see the development of the situation and passively wait for Ouyang Yun to come to the door to ask for the guilt, urgently summoned Tong Linge and Qin Dechun to discuss countermeasures.
The so-called wave of unsettled, wave after wave, just when Song, Tong, and Qin were discussing secretly, the adjutant outside brought another shocking news. The regiment of the Xuebing Army that supported Wanping actually withdrew, while the other regiment stayed near Yongqing. 2 According to the analysis of the staff officers of the General Staff, it is very likely that the Cadet Army will abandon Wanping City.
Hearing the news, the faces of the three of them changed greatly, and then, Tong Linge, who was more easily excited, stood up "poofed", and he said angrily: "What does this Ouyang Yun want to do?" Once Wanping is occupied by the Japanese, what will happen to Beiping? ”
Song Zheyuan's brows furrowed, Ouyang Yun's hand was exactly what he was most worried about. Ouyang Yun's character, although he doesn't know much about it, he is impressed by one point, that is, he plays cards completely out of common sense and has no rules.
Qin Dechun said: "This Ouyang Yun is really incomprehensible, aren't he and that Chu Tiange known as the anti-Japanese duo?!" In this way, he is not afraid of ruining his reputation? No, no-" He said "no", his eyebrows and eyes were already open, and he smiled: "Haven't they withdrawn their troops from Wanping City yet?" If my guess is correct, Ouyang Yun is waiting for us to make a statement? ”
All of them were smart people, and Song and Tong immediately understood. Tong Linge said to Song Zheyuan: "Junzuo, then I'll deal with the matter of those two cadet scouts now." ”
Song Zheyuan nodded, and then took care of Qin Dechun: "Old Qin, then you personally go to teach the team and let Wang Kaiming lead the team to move in the direction of Wanping." ”
Qin Dechun stood up and asked, "What if the Japanese army provokes us?" ”
Song Zheyuan gritted his teeth: "We won't fire the first shot, but as long as the Japanese dare to shoot this first shot, then let Wang Kaiming beat me hard!" ”
Qin Dechun showed a smiling face, which was exactly what he wanted most, nodded, and then walked out of the hall after Tong Lin Pavilion quickly. The two walked out of the military headquarters together, and before they broke up, Tong Linge suddenly stopped and looked at Qin Dechun and said, "Old Qin, do you think the Japanese will really make a big move this time?" ”
"It is very likely that the situation in Japan is not as good as before, and those militaristic fanatics have taken control of the Japanese cabinet, and they may have been planning this day. If the previous Battle of Wen'an and the Battle of Tianjin were nothing more than one-sided actions by Nanjiro and the Kwantung Army, this time, I think they were planned and premeditated. This battle will definitely not be small. ”
Tong Linge nodded, and said with a worried face: "That's why I'm worried, the Kwantung Army is a whole, and if you look at our North China, it is a plate of scattered sand, if the Nanjing government does not come up with effective means, I think the fall of North China is only a matter of time." ”
Qin Dechun was silent, the problem that Tong Linge said was actually not only a problem in North China, but a phenomenon that existed throughout the country. Once North China falls, both the 29th Army and the Cadet Army may become an insignificant force because they have lost their foothold. It stands to reason that in the face of this situation, the two armies should join hands, but when it comes to all aspects, this is destined to be a beautiful idea like a flower in the water and a moon in a well.
Tong Linge approached Qin Dechun and said in a low voice: "Old Qin heard that no, the student army has gained a foothold in Dongshan County, Fujian. This Ouyang Yun, it seems that it is not simple, is he looking for a way back? ”
Qin Dechun had also heard about the matter in Dongshan County, and through this incident, he remembered another question, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the Cadet Army will really give up North China completely?" After speaking, he shook his head and said: "Unlikely, all the furniture of the Xuebing Army is in the Renqiu area, and Shijiazhuang has also started comprehensive construction, in this case, I don't think Ouyang Yun is willing to give up." That bit of territory in Dongshan County, let alone raising an army, it is a problem to feed a division, and besides, it is quite close to Taiwan, with the character of the Japanese, even if the student army moves there, will the Japanese let them go? ”
Tong Linge thought for a while and sighed and said, "Forget it, the fate of the student army is not something you and I can control, it depends on the creation of Ouyang Yun." Lao Qin, I'll go first. ”
Qin Dechun stood in place and watched him get into the car, his mouth moved twice, he wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end. He had a lot of dealings with the Japanese, and he had personally experienced the humiliation of the "Qin-Tu Agreement", so although some people seemed to be pro-Japanese, in fact, he hated the Japanese in his bones. Because of this, he felt sincerely happy that the 38th Division of the Cadet Army had inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army three times before and after. In private, he also went to Renqiu many times to investigate, and was deeply moved by the prosperity and thriving atmosphere in its territory. When he was alone, Qin Dechun would feel funny when he thought about it - Ouyang Yun was just a stunned young man who defected to Song Zheyuan, and the student army was only a student soldier of more than 200 people, who would have thought that they would be so powerful now that they would in turn suppress the 29th Army? The relationship between the 29th Army and the Xuebing Army is quite delicate now, and from this, he thought of Jin Bihui, who caused this incident, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy. This woman is not simple, she looks crazy and happy, but she can secretly win over so many horses and use such a method. Once the Cadet Army and the 29th Army were at odds, the consequences would be too serious, and it seemed to be of secondary importance to give the Japanese a chance to break through, after all, neither of these two troops was weak. The seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that the composition of the 29th Army is now relatively complicated, and once the opportunity is seized by someone with a heart, it is not only related to its own survival, but also very likely to fall Wanping, Beiping, and even North China into the iron hooves of the Japanese army - this is something that Qin Dechun does not want to see in any case.
