Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

In the National Defense Forces, where automobiles have been completely universalized, the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops may still be concealed.However, in the central government army that still relies on their legs to march, the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops is absolutely impossible to conceal.

Millions of central troops had just begun to mobilize, and the warlords Yan Xishan, He Jian, and Liu Xiang scattered around the central government felt a dark cloud of tension.Then the Jinsui Army with 15 troops, the Hunan Army with 12 troops, the Sichuan Army with 20 troops, and even the Shaanxi Army and Hubei Army... all began to mobilize nervously.For a while, the atmosphere in several provinces of the Central Plains also became tense.

Of course, the remnants of the Northeast Army stationed in the Pingjin area became tense along with it.Since the National Defense Forces unified the three northeastern provinces, successively defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army, and recovered the Far East.Zhang Xueliang, who knew that he could never return to the Northeast, began to sink slowly, especially in drug use.

In less than a year, Zhang Xueliang, a romantic marshal, managed government affairs under the influence of drugs.Faced with this good opportunity, Lao Jiang, who has always been jealous of the 10,000+ elites of the Northeast Army, of course will not let it go. He immediately sent Zhang Xueliang to the country on the grounds of seeing a doctor, and then appointed Rong Zhen, the former chief of staff of the Northeast Army who was completely loyal to him, as the new leader. The commander of the Northeast Army is responsible for the security of the entire Pingjin and Henan areas, and prevents the national defense forces outside the pass from entering the pass.

In order to put the greatest pressure on Yan Xishan, the great warlord in Shanxi, Chiang not only mobilized the three main divisions of the Central Army stationed in Henan, but also the five main divisions of the former Northeast Army stationed in Hebei and other places. The territory of Shanxi is approaching.

The 10,000+ Central Army army is pressing down on the border, with 15 elites, several heavy artillery regiments and armored regiments. Although the Jinsui Army has a fighting strength.However, Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui Army who only wanted to defend his one-acre three-point land, did not want to fight desperately with the Central Army that was about to suppress the border.

In Yan Xishan's eyes, after a battle, even if the Jinsui army wins the final victory, it will be a miserable victory.I have been in Shanxi Province for several years, even decades of development and accumulation will be destroyed because of this decisive battle.

Therefore, after learning the news that the Central Army was about to overwhelm the border, Yan Xishan's first reaction was to send a telegram to Chiang, why did he want to destroy the peace.certainly.Yan Xishan did not put all his hopes in Lao Jiang's basket.

While sending an inquiry telegram to Lao Jiang, He Jian in Changsha, Hunan, Liu Xiang in Chengdu, Sichuan...all the top warlords in the country can be ranked.They all received a telegram with the same request from Yan Xishan. [

"Let's put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek, the central government in Nanjing, and force him not to break the peace, triggering a new round of war in the Central Plains."

In Taiyuan Jinsui Army General Headquarters, Yan Xishan, dressed as a businessman, was pacing anxiously in the headquarters, looking up at the telecommunications room where there was still no movement, waiting for some kind of cat to roam the world.

Just when Yan Xishan began to show a trace of impatience due to the long wait, an exclamation finally reached Yan Xishan's ears from the telecommunications room.

"Chairman. Telegram. Nanjing central government telegram..."

The anxious Yan Xishan finally let out a long sigh of relief.While walking towards the telecommunications room, he sighed to himself: "Damn Jiang, if you still don't call me back, I'm going to send him a third telegram..."

After finishing speaking, he ordered loudly to the telecommunications room: "Quick, what are you doing in a daze, call Nanjing back to me immediately..."

When Yan Xishan took the telegram and started browsing.The facial expression that had just been relaxed became tense again, his brows suddenly frowned, and he slammed the telegram on the desk in front of him, cursing angrily: "Lao Jiang is really bullying people too much, 120 million a month Dayang, does Lao Jiang treat my old man like a bank?"

At this moment, Zhao Daiwen, Yan Xishan's aide, walked over quickly and asked with a puzzled face: "Chairman, what is 120 million oceans per month, and Nanjing's call back is..."

"The telegram is here, read it yourself..." Yan Xishan, who was full of anger, said with a dissatisfied face.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Daiwen frowned.After thinking for a while, he said affirmatively to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, although I don't know what the purpose of this telegram from Nanjing is. One thing I can be sure of is that the 120 million oceans must not be given. Although our monthly financial The income has reached 500 million oceans, but the cost is also huge."

"A 15-strong army needs to spend at least 200 million oceans for military expenditure every month, the entire provincial government and county governments need at least 100 million oceans per month, and arsenals, schools, etc. consume more than 100 million oceans every month. This calculation After that, it would be great if the entire Shanxi Province can have a surplus of 50 yuan per month."

"Of course, the remaining 50 yuan is not available anywhere, and we have to prepare an emergency military expenditure for a war that may break out at any time. Therefore, the current fiscal revenue of Shanxi Province cannot afford the monthly expenditure of 120 million yuan."

Seeing the pensive Yan Xishan, Zhao Daiwen continued to analyze: "This is only one aspect, and there are other reasons: if we gave Nanjing 120 million oceans this month, the greedy Nanjing may be in the next year." We will ask us for 150 million oceans every month. At that time, no matter how much our tax revenue is, we will not be able to feed Nanjing.”

"Thirdly, once we agree to Nanjing's request, we will compromise with the central government on behalf of the Jinsui Army and stand on the side of the central government. At that time, other local forces in the country will cut off contact with us because of this, and send our Jinsui Army to the central government. Isolated. As long as we have no backup, the central government in Nanjing, which not only satisfies our attachment, will definitely use this opportunity to completely annex the Jinsui Army and Shanxi Province.”

Yan Xishan was still full of gratitude and trust to Zhao Daiwen, the number one staff member standing in front of him.After some analysis by Zhao Daiwen, Yan Xishan had unconsciously made up his mind that he could not compromise with Nanjing no matter what. [

However, as the single-handed founder of the Jinsui Army, Yan Xishan did not want to turn against Nanjing and destroy Shanxi's decades-old foundation.After thinking for a while, he had to turn his attention to Zhao Daiwen again and asked, "Director Zhao, do we really want to break with Nanjing and fight to the death..."

Zhao Daiwen shook his head and replied: "Chairman, you are worrying too much. According to the telegram, not only we have received this telegram. Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Hubei...the governments of these places have all received this telegram. In this case , we can organize these people together and put pressure on Nanjing.”

As the chairman of a province who rose up with Lao Jiang, although Yan Xishan cannot be said to know Lao Jiang well, he does.I still know some of Lao Jiang's characters very well.Contact the major local forces in the surrounding areas to put pressure on Lao Jiang. Although it can give Lao Jiang a strong deterrent, the face-saving Lao Jiang will never compromise.

Relying on Yan Xishan's understanding of Lao Jiang's character and his staff, in the face of various local forces forcing the palace, the cunning Lao Jiang will definitely use his shrewd political acumen to defeat everyone and choose a target to kill the chickens and monkeys.

Looking at the battle map in front of him, Tao Yun Kuang Doctor.There are more than a dozen local forces, large and small.The only force that the Central Army can wipe out with lightning speed is its own side.because.Nuoda's Shanxi Province is not under much threat except in the direction of Shanxi, and all other directions are surrounded by the Central Army.

As long as Lao Jiang made up his mind, the Central Army could pounce on itself from all directions.And the Jinsui Army, which he worked so hard to form, had to divide his troops in order to defend his foundation.In the end, they were defeated one by one in front of the Central Army, which had an absolute superiority in military strength... Thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat quickly appeared on Yan Xishan's forehead.

After a long sigh, he sighed to Zhao Daiwen: "Director Zhao, you still underestimated the cunning of the veteran. Don't forget that in the Central Plains War, our strength was several times that of the veteran, but in the end, we still lost to the Lao Jiang. What's more, Lao Jiang's current military strength far exceeds ours. As long as Lao Jiang makes up his mind, we have no room to fight back."

The thoughtful Zhao Daiwen subconsciously shifted his gaze to the map, hoping to find a solution to the upcoming battle and find some loopholes in the Central Army.

First the military map of Shanxi province, and then the military map of North China... However, after thinking about it, I still haven't come up with any clues.However, just after Zhao Daiwen shifted his gaze to the last national map marked with the major local forces in the country, a large area painted in blue suddenly came into Zhao Daiwen's eyes...

"National Defense Forces..." Zhao Daiwen said to himself.Then, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind, and he said to Yan Xishan who was full of expectations.

"Chairman, there is a way..."

"Look at the map. Although our Shanxi Province is surrounded by the Central Army, the more than [-] former Northeast Army occupying Pingjin and Hebei are also surrounded by us and the National Defense Force. We can ask the National Defense Force for help. Request the National Defense Forces to launch an attack on Hebei from outside the pass, occupy Hebei, and connect the three northeastern provinces with Shandong Province. I believe that in the face of such a huge temptation, the National Defense Forces will definitely agree to our request..."

Seeing Yan Xishan with bright eyes, Zhao Daiwen continued to analyze: "Of course, if the National Defense Force feels that Hebei Province is not enough to impress him, then we can also use the coal mines in Shanxi Province to trade with them. As long as they send troops to Hebei, we will Just at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei, it was paid to the National Defense Forces for several large coal mines. You must know that almost all the coal needed by the National Defense Forces in several large factories in Shandong Province comes from our Shanxi...as long as Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, is not a fool , will agree to our request and send troops to Hebei..."

Yan Xishan's expectant expression lasted only half a minute before being replaced by solemnity.Facing Zhao Daiwen, he asked in a deep voice: "Director Zhao, according to your method, even if we successfully repel the attack of the Central Army and defend Shanxi, after the National Defense Forces occupy Hebei, we will not be half surrounded by the National Defense Forces again. If the National Defense Forces have the appetite Not only limited to Hebei, but also wants to take advantage of the situation to attack Shanxi, can the Jinsui army who have just experienced a bloody battle stop the National Defense Army's offensive?"

Zhao Daiwen didn't answer right away, but slowly revealed an expression full of regret, and replied to Yan Xishan: "Chairman, you are humane, if the national defense army really wants to attack Shanxi, only 15 Jinsui troops can block the national defense army's offensive and defend Shanxi In addition, our current delay is how to solve the attack of the Central Army, not to defend against the National Defense Forces. If we can’t solve the Central Army that has already overwhelmed the army, our Jinsui Army may not wait until that day. It will be under the attack of the Central Army Lost everything, let alone talk about the future..."

Seeing Yan Xishan who still had a hesitant expression on his face, Zhao Daiwen continued to persuade: "The last one, I wonder if you still remember the series of guarantees given to us by the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force in Shenyang City. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke the National Defense Force. The Wehrmacht would not take the initiative to attack us."

"After a year, the National Defense Forces with a strong military force has indeed achieved it. Because the series of expansions of the National Defense Forces are all external expansions, even at the expense of launching foreign wars. I also believe that in the next time, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces will definitely fulfill this goal. Responsibility, for no reason to take the initiative to attack our Shanxi Province..."

Hearing this, the worry on Yan Xishan's face finally disappeared.Ask Zhao Daiwen the last question: "Since Li Guosheng promised not to attack the major local forces in the country, how can you guarantee that after our request for help is delivered to Li Guosheng, Li Guosheng will violate his original promise and report to the garrison?" The central army in Hebei and Pingjin launched an attack."

Under Yan Xishan's gaze, a strange light flashed across Zhao Daiwen's eyes quickly, and he suggested to Yan Xishan: "Chairman follows you in online games like a shadow. The principle of the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force is that as long as he is attacked, the National Defense Force will definitely attack him." The troops retaliated. In this case, we will create an excuse for the National Defense Forces to attack the Central Army in Hebei, Pingjin and Tianjin."

"I can say with certainty that in the face of the huge cake of Pingjin and Hebei, no matter how big or small the excuse is, Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

For the future of the Jinsui Army, and in order to preserve his decades-long foundation as much as possible, Yan Xishan finally made his final decision.Zhao Daiwen affirmed loudly in front of him.

"Okay, let's do it like this. For the future of the Jinsui Army, old man, I will bet with you once today..."

A medium-sized coal mine in eastern Shanxi, because of its defeat a few years ago, this coal mine fell directly into the hands of the National Defense Forces as compensation.Of course, [-]% of the various coals that Shandong needs every day also come from this coal mine.

It can be said without hesitation that once this coal mine stops production, most factories and enterprises in the entire Shandong Province will stop production as a result.Therefore, in order to ensure the energy security of Shandong Province, Wang Guoli, commander of the First Group Army of the National Defense Forces stationed in Shandong, directly dispatched an infantry battalion to protect the safety of the entire coal mine.

Because the coal mine digs coal day and night, the three infantry companies stationed here are also on duty in three shifts.At this moment, there is only one infantry company in Nuo Da's coal mine, and less than two hundred national defense soldiers are scattered around on duty.

And at this moment, a total of two thousand Jinsui Army troops wearing the uniforms of the former Northeast Army, like ghosts in the night, marched towards the coal mine step by step under the cover of night.

In order to ensure a quick victory without leaving any flaws, Yan Xishan, who was far away in Taiyuan, directly took out his most elite guard group.

"Da da da..." The crisp sound of submachine gun fire rang out in the night, scattered around the coal mine, and the unprepared sentinels didn't even have time to react, and they were beaten into a hornet's nest by dense crowds.

Without these sentinels to stop them, the densely packed "former Northeast Army" soldiers rushed into the coal mine like a tide...

Although a battalion of national defense soldiers is equipped with a semi-automatic rifle, its firepower far exceeds that of any ordinary infantry regiment in the country.However, this infantry battalion does not have any advantage in front of the well-equipped Jinsui Army Guard Regiment.

In Yan Xishan's bodyguard regiment, submachine guns are equipped to ordinary soldiers, light machine guns are equipped to squads, heavy machine guns are equipped to platoons, mortars are equipped to companies, and mountain artillery is equipped to battalion and regiment levels.However, in order to adapt to the mountain warfare where the coal mine is located, the Jinsui Army Guard Corps only carries submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars suitable for mountain warfare...

When hordes of National Defense Forces soldiers heard the gunshots and prepared to counterattack, the dense rain of mortar shells had already come over the barracks.Of course, there are also various seeds that are as dense as rain.

The cannon exploded, and the remaining 400 soldiers of the garrison battalion were quickly submerged in the artillery fire.

The garrison battalion of the National Defense Army was eaten up with lightning speed, and more than 2000 soldiers of the Jinsui Army wearing Northeast Army uniforms rushed into the mining area quickly, and razed the entire mining area to the ground with explosives stored in the mining area.

At the end of the battle, more than two thousand soldiers of the Jinsui Army quickly withdrew from the battlefield.However, during the retreat, some corpses, military caps, and weapons representing the former Northeast Army were left in the mining area under the intention of the Jinsui Army.

After hearing the news, the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army entered the mining area in a posture of reinforcements. The mine area that had been razed to the ground was left with corpses everywhere and some evidence representing the former Northeast Army's raid on the coal mine.

Soon, a telegram was sent from Taiyuan to the General Command of the First Group Army of the Shandong National Defense Army.

"Pa... This group of Northeast Army is really too arrogant. Our National Defense Forces did not take the initiative to attack them. It is enough to give them face. They dare to take the initiative to attack us. I, Wang Guoli, swear that I will make you pay for your blood. Revenge of our soldiers..." After reading the contents of the telegram, Wang Guoli seemed to have seen the bloody scene in the mining area.After arranging the telegram in his hand on the desk in front of him fiercely, he cursed loudly with an angry expression on his face.
