Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Many years later, military scientists have condemned Yuheng Yicheng as a pig, otherwise why didn't he organize troops to break out of Qingdao and turn to Jinan instead?

In fact, everyone misunderstood the real situation. The real situation is that Yuheng made an urgent call to Tokyo. In addition to reporting the fiasco of the Ninth Division, he asked himself to lead the Second Division and the Ninth Division to Qingdao. As for the No.11 Division The regiment continued to stick to Jinan and waited for reinforcements.Yuheng Yicheng was still intimidated by the squadron's new weapon, the combination of aircraft, tanks and submachine guns.But unfortunately, this request was rejected by the Tokyo side. They cursed Yuheng Yicheng as a waste, and then ordered Yuheng Yicheng to maintain the dignity of the imperial army, and the whole army moved to Jinan, standing firm and waiting for help.Although it was the first time for Yuheng Yicheng to lead troops into battle, he also knew that there was no difference between going to Jinan and dying at this time, but the characteristics of Japanese soldiers still forced him to obey the decision of his superiors and move to Jinan.It is said that this suggestion was put forward by Sadao Araki, on the grounds that the army gathered in Jinan, what can the Chinese army do to me?

Bai Chongxi did not report victory immediately, but ordered the troops to defend Jinan according to the scheduled plan. On December 12, with the No.14 Division entering the position, the 30 horses of the three Japanese divisions in Jinan were firmly trapped to death. In Bai Chongxi's words, unless they cross the Yellow River to break through, it will be difficult to fly with wings.Then the game has become a dead game, Bai Chongxi swiped his pen, and he won!

On December 12, the front pages of "National Daily", "Youth Army Daily", and "Shenzhen" used a headline at the same time: "Shandong Great Victory".

Huang Yuansheng, who was already the spokesperson of the National Government, wrote again: "...From December 12, my heroic young officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army under the command of Generals Bai Chongxi, Jiang Fangzhen, and General Liu Xing launched a continuous fierce attack on the Japanese army. In this campaign, all the soldiers of our army fought to die first and risked their lives. The Japanese invaders who were killed were retreating steadily. Until yesterday, more than 11 Japanese troops were wiped out, and the remnants fled to Jinan. Our army of 30 has surrounded [-] remnants of the Japanese army in Jinan In the city, this battle is the first victory since the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], and the century-old humiliation of the Chinese nation has been washed away today..."

Because Wang Zhenyu can grasp the battle report at any time, he has been excited for a long time. In a good mood, he rarely wandered from the Standing Committee Building in Tianyuan to the office area of ​​the Ministry of the Navy. A short speech, encouraging them to do good in this war.Then Wang Zhenyu had a whim, called Wang Chenhao and Chen Bulei and drove to Wang Jingye's school.

Crowds celebrating victory were everywhere along the way, and almost every merchant on the roadside hung up the five-color flag of the Republic of China with lights and festoons.Wang Zhenyu smiled at Chen Bulei: "Our national flag is really accepted by everyone at this moment, but Bui, this flag needs to be changed. Sun Wen and the others came up with this flag because of the needs of the republic of the five races. Now let Mr. Liang Qichao explain the definition of the Chinese nation so hard to come up with five ethnic groups, there is only one Chinese nation left. So, you take the lead and organize a research society for the state system and political system for me, including Yang Du and Yang Yongtai Come in, I will personally serve as the chairman, and get a bunch of well-known ones to serve as vice-chairmen, study and study carefully, ponder over the issue of the state system, the national emblem and the national anthem, the central government in Beijing is no longer necessary to continue to exist!"

Chen Bulei has been with Wang Zhenyu for more than three years, and now he has begun to learn to analyze. To cancel the five-color flag designed by Sun Wen and the others, does the appointment mean that Sun Wen should also be cancelled.However, as a secretary, he didn’t dare to ask too many questions, and he would execute whatever he ordered. What’s more, what excited Chen Bulei was this seminar. For him personally, this was the first real experience since he became a secretary. According to his understanding of Wang Zhenyu’s character , This is the rhythm of letting yourself out of the side.

In Beijing, the central government has been sentenced to death by Wang Zhenyu, and the civil servants of various ministries have no intention of going to work. Now all fools know that the pace of unification of the southern national government is unstoppable.Everyone admires people like Cao Rulin. After Duan Qirui failed last time, he joined Xu Shuzheng and others to defect to the southern national government, and his power will inevitably remain the same in the future.And those who didn't go south at the beginning are now a little panicked all day long, looking for news in these four or nine cities all day long.

In Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, Zhang Zuolin seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight, most of his hair had turned white, and his energy was gone. Except when he was smoking opium, he looked like a dead man at other times. expression.The whole person sat decadently on the small step in front of the desk and looked at the snow scene outside the door. At this time, Beijing was not polluted by later generations, and the snow scene was still very interesting.Everyone said that seeing Bai Xue would make her feel better, but Zhang Zuolin felt colder and colder the more he watched it.Although the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are still there, and although his territory has not been reduced by an inch, the fool knows that he has lost the bet, completely and completely.

Yang Yuting and the others were standing outside the door and secretly looking at Zhang Zuolin. To be honest, no one would have imagined that the normally bullish Japanese would be so vulnerable in front of Wang Zhenyu's army.

Although the battle situation on the front line has been reported to Beijing since the [-]th, the content was vague at that time, the only thing that can be seen is that the Japanese legation is brightly lit almost every night, obviously something bad happened.

When the definite news came this morning, Zhang Zuolin, who still had a little luck in his heart, completely collapsed.But there is no other way, even the Japanese can't beat Wang Zhenyu.Moreover, Yang Yuting also received news that fierce quarrels broke out in Japan over this war.It is said that Yoshiichi Tanaka’s plan to send troops to reinforce Shandong was not approved. Prime Minister Kei Hara preferred to end the Shandong war decently, and at the same time organize Fengjun to retreat outside the customs. In a word, Japan now intends to maintain its interests in Manchuria.

In fact, in the prime minister's residence in Tokyo, Japan, Tanaka Yoshiichi told Prime Minister Hara Kyoshi angrily: "If we can't achieve a fundamental victory in Shandong, then don't talk about Manchuria, the whole mainland has nothing to do with us. What are you Wang Zhenyu Man? Is it a warlord? Does he just want a piece of land to satisfy his needs? No, this man is a real Chinese man, a nationalist. He is not a bandit like Zhang Zuolin, nor is he like Yuan Shikai He is a bureaucrat with ideals, just like you and me. What he wants is the rise of the whole of China, and this is precisely what the Great Japanese Empire cannot tolerate and allow.”

Yuan Jing patted the table angrily and said: "Then according to what you said, the army has long known the strength of the youth army, but deliberately deceived the emperor and the cabinet to send troops to Shandong, and deliberately sent only three divisions, which led to this defeat? The purpose of appointing Yuheng Yicheng is also here, if it is replaced by other imperial generals, they will definitely not rush in and be surrounded if they find something abnormal, right?"

Yuan Jing really complicated Tanaka's thinking. Didn't Tanaka know that the youth army had planes and tanks? Didn't he think that Yuheng Yicheng would fight like this?

But now, even the personal friendship with Yu Heng can't be taken care of by him.Yoshiichi Tanaka stood up suddenly and said: "Yes, the speed of development of Southern China in the past few years has scared the entire army, but you and your colleagues are still obsessed with the so-called democratic system. The living space Japan needs Instead of votes, now is the time to correct this mistake. Your Excellency, please withdraw troops from Siberia immediately. Kolchak has failed. We should cooperate with the Bolsheviks, the victors of the Russian Civil War. Then gather all the power of the empire to wipe out Southern China in the bud .As for me personally, I am willing to resign from Prime Minister Lu's position and take full responsibility for this failure."

Silence, the room fell into an unprecedented silence, as if everything had stopped, as if the air had frozen.After a long time, Yuan admired Tianchang and sighed: "Mr. Tanaka, why do you soldiers always think of things so simply? Britain and France will not agree to an all-out war, and we don't have the spare energy to take care of the two battlefields. It's downright honorable." It’s time to end this war. As for the unification of China, as long as the government of South China recognizes the interests of the empire in China, then what’s the matter?”

Tanaka stared at the old man in front of him. He was angry: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please consider the consequences. Choosing to give up the interests of the empire in China at such a moment is tantamount to betraying Japan. That is a national traitor!"

Yuan Jing was also angry when he heard this. He looked at Tanaka without fear and said: "Don't scare me, Tanaka-kun, what the Japanese people need now is rice instead of bayonets. The empire has not had a good rest since the Russo-Japanese War One day later, how can you warriors harm the interests of the entire nation in order to satisfy your own ambitions? You step down, and I will meet with Your Excellency Shan County."

Tanaka stomped his feet angrily but left helplessly. . .

Although Yuan Jing wanted to end the war decently, the two dying old guys, Shanxian and Dongxiang, disagreed.Although they also believe that continuing to fight is not good for the empire, they also insist that once the empire loses the war, the morale of the people will be hit too much. More importantly, Tanaka's analysis is not completely unacceptable. At least one thing is certain. Wang Zhenyu will definitely unify the country with a big victory.Dongxiang, who has always supported Yuan Jing, is obviously a little old and confused. He said excitedly: "Shandong is a peninsula. As long as I have the invincible Imperial Japanese Navy, we have no reason to give up this rich place. The jujubes there are very popular." It's delicious, and it broke one of my teeth last time..."

In this way, the Japanese high-level officials began to quarrel frequently, and then they came to a strange result. They neither planned when to send more reinforcements to China, nor did they say when to urge Britain and France to end the war decently.

The [-] Japanese troops besieged in Jinan City seemed to be forgotten by the big shots in Tokyo at this moment. . .
