Chapter 195 Personal Pain and National Pain Next
I felt even more guilty yesterday! Due to the busy work, I thought it was updated after uploading, but the result was not specific. I'm sorry! Please list it as a book friend!
Zhang Xueliang read Zhang Xuewu's telegram over and over again, and every word hit his heart like a heavy hammer. The final result of this incident turned out to be like this? This was not expected by Zhang Xueliang at the beginning, but his personal pain could not be compared with the pain of the country and the nation.
[***] At the beginning, he wanted to kill Chiang Kai-shek to alleviate the crisis of being besieged, because Chiang Kai-shek was the most resolute national political axe commander who advocated suppressing the Communist Party, but Stalin, who was in Moscow, believed that Chiang Kai-shek was the only leader who could lead China's resistance. Stalin was worried that once Chiang Kai-shek did something unexpected, The country is likely to fall into a situation of warlord division at a time. Leaders who lack enough prestige, qualifications and ability will dominate the whole situation to dominate the resistance. If China is unable to resist Japan, it can use the resources plundered on China's vast territory as a reserve and accumulate strength to attack the Soviet Union's soft side in the Far East.
The Soviet Union is most worried about the expansion ambitions of German Hitler in the West. The aggressive German Third Reich had exposed its sharp teeth and claws at the end of 1936. The Soviet Union did not have the ability to fight on both sides of the east and west at the same time. Under the great pressure of Stalin, after fierce debates, [***] After the business, Fang changed the strategic thinking of the trinity. The coordination group led by Zhou Enlai went to Xi'an to negotiate and release Jiang, and fought for the real interests of [***].
After many days of conversation with Mrs. Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhang Xueliang also read some of Chiang Kai-shek's sayings, he suddenly realized that Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards the saying was not to seek peace. It was really because of the disparity in national strength. The first thing Chiang Kai-shek wanted to do was to eliminate the separatist forces of [[***] and local factions. Unify the military and political power in the country.
Zhang Xueliang put down the telegram and walked to the window. At present, there are already some signs of various forests in the Northeast Army. The troops below are not stable. Not all people are optimistic about the Northwest University and the United Russia. After all, many Northeast military generals in the Middle East Road incident are still in pain. The most fundamental is [ ***] The policies and propositions are also disapproved and difficult for these generals to accept. The strength of the 17th Route Army is not enough in the eyes of the generals of the Northeast Army, so Yang Hucheng naturally has no strength to speak. [***] Because of the opposition of the Soviet Union from a common comrade-in-arms to a mediator, Zhang Xueliang became the whole The center of the Double Twelve Incident!
For a while, it can be said that the wind and waves were high, especially Zhang Xuewu's saying that you and I had a feud of killing my father, which made Zhang Xueliang finally made up his mind. Zhang Xuewu's father was killed in the fight against bandits. At that time, many bandits were secretly funded by him, so Zhang Xuewu's father's death was also secret with him. The relationship.
Release Chiang Kai-shek to announce a peaceful settlement of the Double Twelfth Incident? Zhang Xueliang hesitated, but he couldn't discuss with Yang, Zhou, Ye and others? Ask Song Ziwen and others? I'm afraid it won't work. Since the Central Army bombed Tongguan today, it also showed its attitude. Zhang Xuewu's department is clearly approaching Yan'an, but in fact, it is to guard the back door for itself, so that its Northeast army will not retreat and go to a dead end!
However, Chen Cheng, Shao Lizi, Jiang Dingwen, Chen Tiaoyuan, Wei Lihuang, Zhu Shaoliang and others are still in the hands of the 17th Route Army. Zhang Xueliang has realized that as long as Chiang Kai-shek is safe, the safety of these people will be guaranteed, and he seems to hold too many troops in his hands. It is not suitable, especially this time when Kou heavy soldiers gather. I'm afraid there is no more lack of mobile troops than Zhang Xuewu. Moreover, the Northeast officers and soldiers can also burst out amazing combat effectiveness when entering Rehe. It is the greatest wish of every Northeast officers and soldiers to return to their hometown.
The 53rd Army originally had four divisions: the 115th Division, the 116th Division, the 117th Division and the 118th Division, of which the 115th Division was severely damaged in the process of suppression, and the number of the 115th Division was cancelled by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. For this reason, Zhang Xueliang reorganized two reading brigades without the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, under the command of Wan Fulin. The 53rd Army is now no longer the scenery of the Beiping Miyun reorganization, and its subordinates the 57th Army at this moment only have three unsatisfied troops, the 110th Division, the 111th Division and the 112th Division. He Zhuguo was also transferred from the 57th Army at the time of the reorganization to the commander of the cavalry, although there are many There is an army, but the strength is more than 30,000 less. Nanjing Political Axe not only did not supplement soldiers, equipment and ammunition, but also revoked the numbers of the 109th Division, the 115th Division, the 120th Division and the 129th Division? This made Zhang Xueliang anxious.
If he gives away his troops to others, Zhang Xueliang is indeed a little reluctant. He is not as good as cheap as Zhang Xuewu. At least in this matter, he has seen much farther than himself. During this period, all kinds of interests are also well balanced. Zhang Xueliang even regrets. If he had known this, he should have followed more at the beginning. Zhang Xuewu discussed more, instead of avoiding him behind his back.
Zhang Xueliang decided to hand over all the 53rd Army and the 57th Army to Zhang Xuewu, which was also a brotherhood. After all, after releasing Jiang, he also wanted to go abroad to the United States without asking about political affairs. Zhang Xueliang drafted a secret telegram and sent it to Yuncheng, who was commanding Zhanyang's headquarters to attack Yulin from Ordos.
Zhang Xuewu was relieved about Zhang Xueliang's final decision. Is Zhang Xueliang going to hand over the 53rd Army and the 57th Army to himself? Zhang Xuewu was also shocked? Not to mention that one of these two troops was later transferred to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the personnel composition of the 57th Army is even more complicated, compared with Wang Yizhe's 67th Army.
If Zhang Xueliang gave Zhang Xuewu the 67th Army, Zhang Xuewu would categorically refuse, but the foundation of the 53rd Army and the 57th Army were very good, especially the grass-roots officers below the grass-roots battalion, so Zhang Xuewu returned to Zhang Xueliang. As long as the officers below the battalion, the two armies will be established after arriving in Yuncheng. That is, it was reorganized, and all the weapons were returned to Nanjing Zheng Axe, while the troops were transported to Rehe in the name of military reclamation farms, but cooperation must be given in time. Before the two armies hand over and disarmed, they could never be before Xi'an announced the release of Chiang Kai-shek.
Zhang Xuewu's consideration is very reasonable. The six divisions of the 53rd Army and the 57th Army, plus the troops directly under it, will have a total of more than 55,000 people. As long as he has a few outstanding battalion commanders, he can keep all the companies and platoon officers. In this way, it is also convenient for him to change his clothes and train. Besides, although this batch of weapons looks eye-catching, After all, when I didn't turn against the Nanjing side, the suppression of the rebels could deal with their personnel by themselves, and the weapons should also be handed over to the military and political department. This is a signal to the Nanjing side. I have no intention of hegemony.
Therefore, on January 3rd, under the deliberate arrangement of the two sides, Zhang Xueliang also concealed Zhang Xuewu's real purpose, so at the welcome meeting, all the officers above the battalion of the 53rd Army and the 57th Army were disarmed. Zhang Xuewu personally came forward to appease the important task. As a result He was ssed by Wan Fulin.
Zhang Xuewu was not angry at all. Then he detained all the members of the comrades' association among the company and platoon officers and sent troops to escort them back to Xi'an, which was also very kind and righteous to these people, because Zhang Xuewu himself knew very well that what he needed now was absolute control of the form of a talented warlord. Zhang Xuewu absolutely Zhang Xuewu will never be polite to such infiltrate or sand, because in the face of the heavy pressure of the war, any small negligence will lead to tragic consequences, which Zhang Xuewu is better than anyone else. Understand, what is taking history as a lesson? This is based on history!
Zhang Xuewu's tactical actions of receiving the 53rd Army and the 57th Army cheered He Yingqin, which also scared everyone in Xi'an. However, beyond everyone's expectation, Zhang Xueliang announced the release of Chiang Kai-shek and peacefully resolved the Xi'an Incident after Yang Hucheng's secret talks.
Zhang Xueliang's behavior made [***] really relieved, but at the airport, Zhang Xueliang had to regret that he had done such a thing as a soldier, in case someone was determined to escort Chiang Kai-shek to Nanjing on the same plane?
Zhang Xueliang's behavior scared Yang Hucheng, Zhou, Ye and others. When they rushed to the airport, the plane had already taken off! The only three remaining 120,000 troops of the Northeast Army suddenly fell into the point of leaderless dragons at this moment. On the day after Zhang Xuewu left, the 6th Artillery Brigade and the Eighth Artillery Brigade in Tongguan fell directly to the Nanjing National Government Axe.
Zhang Xuewu thought that since the Double Twelve matters had been resolved peacefully, and two of the five main armies of the Northeast Army were also in his hands, it seemed unlikely that the civil strife of the Northeast Army would break out? However, Zhang Xuewu still obviously underestimated the radicalism and ambition of young people.
On February 2nd and January 10th in history, Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others of the Northeast Army, who ignored the overall situation, suddenly died, killing Wang Yizhe, the commander of the sixty-seventh Army, Xu Fang, the director of the General Staff Office of the Northwest Headquarters, Song Xueli, the deputy director, and Jiang Bin, the director of the traffic department.
However, what surprised Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu and Sun Mingjiu was that first of all, they could not master the troops at all. The whole cavalry army fell to Nanjing National Political Axe, and the 10th Cavalry Division began to attack the militia formed by the disarmed 17th Route Army, and killed [***] members and young officers.
Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others, who were shocked, fled to the *** delegation's station the next day to express great repentance to Zhou, saying that they did not grasp the situation in time, etc. Zhou considered Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and staff Liu Ding and others. Close contact and long-term contact are bound to implicate [***] personnel, so Zhou directly arranged vehicles to secretly send Ying Detian, Miao Jianqiu, Sun Mingjiu and others to the Sanyuan Red Army station, and secretly trusted Peng and other leaders. The people brought by Liu Ding must do it secretly and cannot meet anyone at present.
