Chapter 170 Reactions of All Parties

When Zhang Xuewu got the comprehensive report of Xu Guohui and Zhan Yang, it was already the next afternoon. It can be said that Xu Guohui and Zhan Yang's military operations were arranged very safely, but the aftermath work, such as the effective blocking of news, was not flattering. It can even be said that Zhang Xuewu was better than Yan Xishan. It took a few hours later to know the general situation. Yan Xishan, who was furious, dispatched troops and angrily told Zhang Xuewu to Nanjing, so Minister He of the Military and Political Department, who had just arrived in Nanjing, rushed back to Beiping by plane with an investigation team.

He Yingqin once imagined many solutions to Suiyuan's problems. Generally, Yan Xishan rarely spit out what he eats. One is young and energetic, and the other is sophisticated. It is still unknown whether Zhang Xuewu can grind Yan Xishan. You know, even Zhang Xueliang has to give Yan Laoxi this alliance. The veteran boss of the meeting was thin. As a result, Zhang Xuewu came up and directly ate one of the other party's army. When did Yan Xishan suffer such a big loss?

Yang Aiyuan is also an outstanding person among the generals of the Jin army. He has a unique way of training. This time, Zhang Xuewu cleaned up the three divisions in one night. Is Yang Aiyuan's team too weak or is Zhang Xuewu's team too strong? Or neither? He Yingqin was a little uneasy on the plane. After all, Zhang Xuewu's basket was too big this time. Even Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to clean up an army of the Jin army for no reason.

After being furious, Yan Xishan finally calmed down. Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion just stood up. There were 100,000 shots, but its proportion of veterans was very amazing. It can be said that the army has a certain combat effectiveness, but they just want to challenge the Jin army with a regional Rehe Legion? When Kou Shang occupied the three northeastern provinces, he risked a large-scale civil war to send troops to solve his 34th Army?

After thinking calmly, Yan Xishan suddenly found that Zhang Xuewu was not Zhang Xueliang, one was a careless and reckless butcher, and the other was an indecisive young master. The most important thing was that Zhang Xueliang was a person who played cards according to the rules, but Zhang Xuewu was not. It is said that Zhang Xuewu's sentence that Zhang Xuewu often talked about was Laozi. The principle is that there is no principle.

Yan Xishan now regrets a little, because Suiyuan is very important to Shanxi, but it is more important for the Rehe Legion in front of the whole Japanese Kwandong Army. Will Zhang Xuewu give his ** to his distrustful Jin army? I'm afraid that Nanjing's political axe will also be more or less suggestive, otherwise Zhang Xuewu would dare to be so groundless? A big fight?

Hesitating again and again, Yan Xishan found that he was really helpless, because he could not ignore it like Zhang Xuewu. Zhang Xuewu was stunned and ignored the consequences, but he was not. He was the master who had experienced strong winds and waves, so he slapped him. He had to fight back immediately, but he couldn't do it in a way. With force, he wants to use the power of public opinion to suppress Zhang Xuewu and make a statement to the Nanjing side, so that those teachers who think about him know that Yan is not a bean bun that can be pinched if he wants to, and let him spit out what he eats in his mouth. Suiyuan is still Laozi!

How to do it, Yan Xishan still has to make a good plan with his staff. Zhang Xuewu is not a good guy to deal with. He dares to swallow his whole army without saying a word. This courage is probably second to look at the whole of China, but there is a little bit in Yan Xishan's heart. There is a bottom line, that is, regardless of Zhang Xuewu's arrogance, no one can bear the responsibility of provoking the civil war under the current enemy.

The news of Suiyuan's central arms fighting against the Jin army was deliberately exaggerated many times by myself. I was good at inverting black and white. I found that they had completely exaggerated the nature of the incident to the point that it could not be restored, so that the analysis of the combat staff of the Kwantung Army was also ridiculous. Is there a plan that China's Nanjing political axe will disintegrate again?

In the face of these absurd and basically unfounded intelligence interpretations, the Kwantung Army trusted the commander Ryokari Takashi a little depressed. The fiasco of Rehe caused the former commander Nobuyoshi Muto to a violently kill in the study. However, for the sake of face, the Kwantung Army immediately sent a plane to toss the body of Nobuyoshi Muto back to Japan. The news that he was in danger, a A month later, he claimed that the rescue of the accumulated labor was ineffective, and the poor Nobuyoshi Muto was almost all smelly.

Kuniaki Koiso, the former chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, was also dismissed with joint and several responsibilities. After the death of Nobuyoshi Muto, Nanjiro nominated Ryokaritaka, a general of the Imperial Army, to take over the post of commander of the Kwantung Army. This nomination was approved by Emperor Hirohito.

Coincidentally, this is the second time that he has served as the commander of the Kwantung Army, and both times he was able to take over after his predecessor died in his term of office. Once again, the first thing for Lingkaru Takashi to take office with the dead was to replenish his troops and weapons and equipment for the Kwantung Army. The Battle of Rehe not only made the middle [ ***] The team's weakness is undoubtedly exposed, and at the same time, the weakness of the Japanese army is undoubtedly exposed.

In the Middle East Road War, the Soviet army was like a child's play against the Northeast Army, so the Japanese army believed that the Japanese army was far stronger than the Soviet army in terms of individual tactics and fighting will, and it should be easier to deal with the [***] team, but after the Battle of Rehe, domestic public opinion was secretly boosted by some forces. He began to bad-mouth the army, as if the navy was unique.

In Ling Kailong's opinion, I was so strange. Before the Battle of Rehe, the hot-blooded young and strong faction shouted all day long to teach the Chinese people that they should occupy the North China and so on. As a result, after the defeat, there was a pessimistic disappointment and decadence of Yishui, as if the empire was already in danger, and the whole Yamato nation relied on the joint fleet. Is it normal to save your life?

In fact, Ryokaritaka is not an authentic Chinese expert, but his strategic vision is indeed very unique among the senior generals of the Japanese army. Ryokaritaka appreciates the maverick minorities such as Ishihara Guaner and Seishiro Itagaki very much, so he has studied the Chinese issue and is said to be called the "leader of the army" by him. Only then can he take over as the commander of the Kwantung Army again.

For this conflict between the [***] team in Suiyuanzhong, Lingkarilong believes that there is no need to make a fuss at all. China is so big that there are many military factions, and a little conflict does not explain the problem at all. Yan Xishan in Shanxi has the experience of studying abroad in the empire. He can be said to be old and squised. He expects him to do something. I'm afraid you will be disappointed if you are overly impulsive.

With a knock on the door, Ling Karilong raised his head and smiled and said, "Please sit down! Today, Mr. Puyi, who is in power in Manchukuo, sent me some good tea. Let's taste it together!"

Ningji Okamura, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and the new deputy chief of staff, Seishiro Itagaki, hurriedly bowed their legs and bowed to express their gratitude.

After the three of them sat down separately, Ryokari Takashi smiled and said, "I have been trusted by His Majesty the Emperor this time. It can be said that I am afraid to be the commander of the Kwantung Army again! In the Battle of Rehe, our loyal and brave imperial generals have exhausted all their strength. The reason why the defeat cannot be attributed to strategic command and tactical coordination. I personally think that the Kwantung Army of the Empire, as a direct unit of His Majesty the Emperor, is still at the level after World War I, so that it is equipped with German weapons. The [***] team can effectively defend Chengde and kill a large number of the living forces of our army, which is very terrible!"

Ningji Okamura was a little ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, your Excellency, the subordinate officer is actually shameless at this moment. The defeated subordinate of Rehe, as the former enemy commander, also has a certain responsibility. Now that His Excellency Nobuyoshi Muto has died of illness, the Chief of Staff of Koiso Kuniaki has been punished and retired, and I, as a defeated general, continue to get Trust and reuse, deeply feel self-reproach.

Ling Karilong shook his head and said, "Don't blame yourself too much. We regard ourselves as strong firepower but can't destroy the resistance of [***]. What does this mean? It shows that our firepower is still not strong enough. The military spending of the empire is almost occupied by the shameless people of the navy. We are still using the old-fashioned Type 38 artillery and the Taizheng machine gun. The projection firepower of our army wing, brigade and divisional three-level tactical units must be improved, otherwise we will not be able to respond. To the next war."

Lingkarilong paused slightly and said, "There is specific information showing that China's political axe is actively carrying out military cooperation with Germany. Not only have the two sides signed the Five-Year Military Industry Development Plan, but Germany has begun to help China establish a military industry, and the industry has not yet been completed. China provides military equipment. In terms of assisting China to reorganize its army and build an army, it submits the Army Reform Proposal, which proposes to first establish a well-equipped and well-trained small core demonstration armed force with limited material and financial resources, and then complete the reorganization of 60 divisions across the country in batches. The German advisory group believes that China has such 60 The elite standing army of each division is enough to deal with all kinds of situations, even including counterattacking Manchuria! Please think about it! The German armed forces such as Chengde's new first division, the headquarters of the Fifth Army in the Battle of Shanghai are all German armed forces that have not yet been reorganized!"

Nishi Okamura and Seishiro Itagaki looked at each other in surprise. If the Chinese political axe really completed the establishment of 60 German and military commanders, then the Kwantung Army would not consider attacking but to defend in Manchuria. Although the navy of the empire dominated Asia, it did not mean that its army was the same. After the Battle of Rehe, many militants of the Japanese army gradually calmed down, and the role of the Manchurian combat navy can only play a role in the coastal front line at most, and can't play the role of determining the surname. If the [***] team of China completes the reorganization plan, then 60 German army members will play a role in the Kwantung Army. It's almost a catastrophe.
