248 World War II Handan

248 World War II Handan (Part 2)

Wuchang, the sun is shining from early in the morning, and the temperature during the day is more than 30 degrees, and it is not less than 25 degrees at night.

Just now, people were still sighing about the gloomy of the rainy season. Suddenly, they couldn't adapt to the sudden visit of the sun. They were so hot that they couldn't raise their heads like flowers.

Li Xiang sat in the office with central air conditioning and twisted his buttocks comfortably, put down the piece of paper in his hand, and looked at the beautiful daffodil.

"I'd like to trouble you to go to Handan this time," Li Xiang said softly to the Narcissus: "It's up to you to deal with this matter..."

Li wants to push the piece of paper over, and there are three eye-catching words on the paper: Feng Yuxiang.

Feng Yuxiang's name shone when he was in Luanzhou in 1911, and did not attract much attention after that, but how could Li Xiang, as a traveler, ignore this famous figure in modern history?

Wang Dingnan entered Feng Yuxiang's army through the ingenious arrangement of the Central Unification Bureau. After more than two years of communication, he has become Feng Yuxiang's friend and guest.

Because Feng Yuxiang and his 14th Brigade of the 7th Division of the Beiyang Army had a precedent of rebellion in Luanzhou, and had been seriously "polluted" by the Revolutionary Party, mainly officers composed of non-commissioned officers and students staying in Japan were not the direct line of Yuan Shikai's small station training Baoding Military Academy. In the Beiyang Army, they have been discriminated against and excluded for a long time. After the outbreak of the civil war, Yuan Shikai not only did not change the policy of discrimination against collaterals, but forced them to go to the front line of the civil war and act as cannon fodder. Feng Yuxiang and others are extremely dissatisfied with this. Before he was ordered to march north this time, he intended to take action and let Wang Dingnan contact the Kuomintang. As early as during the First Battle of Handan, Wang Dingnan reported to Li Xiang on Feng Yuxiang's situation. Li wanted to know Feng Yuxiang's progressive tendency, so he decided that Wang Dingnan would return immediately and mobilize Feng Yuxiang to revolt on the battlefield. If this move is successful, it will have the absolute certainty to completely annihilate the enemy of the northern in the second battle of Handan in the future.

However, the development of the situation has deviated greatly from expectations. Feng Yuxiang originally planned to lead the 14th Brigade and the Hebei People's Army to go north alone, collect all the soldiers and horses of the Beiyang Army and the patrol battalions they passed through, and hand them over to the Kuomintang together with the towns they stole. Unexpectedly, Duan Qirui let Feng Yuxiang and Ma Fawu's three brigades go hand in hand, which disrupted Feng Yuxiang's whole plan. Time goes by day, and the situation is urgent day by day.

To this day, Lin Tiechang and Ji Yulin's field troops are ready to launch the final general attack of the Second Handan Campaign.

Wang Dingnan rushed to the third column, took a secret telegram to the boss above him, and then called Lin Tiechang and Ji Yulin. After obtaining consent, Lin Tiechang and Ji Yulin, two chiefs of staff, Li Da and Wang Dingnan, sent stray bullets through the line of fire to the officer's headquarters of the 14th Brigade.

As soon as Feng Yuxiang saw Wang Dingnan, he explained with guilt: "Dingnan, you know that when I was in Xinxiang, I proposed to Duan Qirui that I would lead the 14th Brigade and the Hebei People's Army to the north along the Pinghan Line. Later, Duan Qirui said that I couldn't pass alone, so I asked the 40th and 30th Brigades to come with me. At that time, I I can't tell Feng Yuxiang that I can go there. Look at this..."

Wang Dingnan said, "This is Yuan Shikai's disassurance of you. Duan Qirui made the decision."

Feng Yuxiang sighed: "I have realized. However, since the three brigades go hand in hand, I have to look at them step by step.

"I'm afraid it's a little negative." Li Da looked at Feng Yuxiang and said, "Commander Lin and Political Commissar Ji originally agreed with your plan to go north. But now it is three brigades going north. Marshal Li has ordered Commander Lin and Political Commissar Ji to never allow the three brigades to go north, so that the Beiyang Army can realize the strategy of invading our Hubei region across the country. Therefore, Chief Lin and Ji hope that you will put national justice first, hold a battlefield uprising, and immediately return to the camp of Sanmin Zhuyi and stand on the side of the people.

Feng Yuxiang was stunned for a moment: "Is it an uprising on the spot?"

"Yes, in order to leave time for the uprising, the leaders of Lin and Ji have agreed to postpone the general attack." Li Da showed all the cards, "This is the critical moment. Now the uprising has made great contributions to you, the people and the country."

Li Da and Wang Dingnan talked with Feng Yuxiang all night, knowing it with reason and moving it with emotion.

Feng Yuxiang paced back and forth indoors and said to herself, "I want to go to the revolution... I have the determination... Don't forget that I am also a revolutionary who participated in the alliance meeting. In 1911, I also participated in the Luanzhou mutiny. I am also a righteous believer of Sun Yat-sen... just..."

"It won't be a long-term solution for you to rely on others like this." Li Da and Wang Dingnan saw the chaos in Feng Yuxiang's thoughts, and their words became sharp. "If you withdraw from the civil war, you will be worthy of the dead compatriots; only by stopping the civil war can you comfort the fallen soldiers; only by opposing the civil war can you ensure that the Xinhai Revolution will not be abandoned, and the Chinese nation has real hope of rejuvenation. Continuing to tie fate to Yuan Shikai's chariot, General Feng, as a miscellaneous card outside the circle, will never escape bad luck!"

"I have been deceived by him Yuan Shikai for a day. What 'the Republic of China thinks it's a dry city'?" Xiangcheng has high expectations? It's nothing more than letting me fight against the revolutionary army and destroy me with the hands of the revolutionary army. Feng Yuxiang said angrily, but he was still in a trance and said, "Dingnan, I haven't thought about these things for a day. It's just..."

Wang Dingnan said with great importance: "Brother Huanzhang, you have to make a decision immediately, and you must not be indecisive! Only extraordinary people can make extraordinary achievements. You are the old revolutionary of the League. Where is the revolutionary spirit?

Feng Yuxiang blinked her eyes and then sighed: "My wife who has shared joys and sorrows with me for many years, as well as the family members of many officers in my army, are now in Xuzhou. If we announce the uprising immediately, won't the Beiyang Army harm them?

Feng Yuxiang's worry is reasonable. Without this problem, it will be difficult for the uprising to be successfully realized.

Li Da thought for a moment and said very sincerely, "This is a practical problem. I will immediately ask Commander Lin and Political Commissar Ji to find a solution.

"No!" Wang Dingnan rushed to say, "I'll report to my boss. They are more experienced in this field."

"Good! OK!" Feng Yuxiang's mood obviously improved, "I'll wait for your news!"

......

Wang Dingnan crossed the line of fire and met two big bosses.

After listening to Wang Dingnan's report, Lv Zhongqiu walked a few steps in the room and then said, "Feng Yuxiang's current uprising not only has a great effect on the present, but also has a great political impact on the future. Comrade Dingnan, the timing is very important!"

"The opportunity is not to be missed, and the time will not come again; when it is interrupted, it will be chaotic." Narcissus twisted her eyebrows and said, "As for the safety of Mrs. Feng and her children, we can solve it. Lv Zhongqiu, you draft a message first, and I'll issue it.

A major and complex matter was solved decisively and simply in just a few words. Lv Zhongqiu quickly drafted the telegram and handed it to Narcissus.

When the Narcissus saw that there was not only a request for instructions on the telegram, but also proposed a specific method of rescue. She was very satisfied. She immediately signed it and ordered it immediately.

Time was running out. Wang Dingnan was ready to resign. Lv Zhongqiu held Wang Dingnan's hand and said, "Try General Feng Yuxiang to focus on the overall situation, cooperate with our army's actions, and make great contributions to the revolution."

Wang Dingnan crossed the line three times, bringing the news that Feng Yuxiang was determined to revolt.

......

In the morning, Feng Yuxiang broke away from Ma Fa V and others and came to the military headquarters of the 14th Brigade in Matou Town.

In the afternoon, Feng Yuxiang summoned the officers' meeting above the group and said solemnly, "There is a war ahead. If you come here, you will definitely think: What's so important!" Yes, what we want to discuss is an issue related to the future and fate of our army. Everyone knows everything in the past. Now the three brigades are going north, and only one of us is desperate in front of us. If the ammunition is not released, the defense cannot be changed, and the number of troops is not allowed. Who instructed this rare thing? Everyone knows that the second year of the Republic of China allocated the sixth town and the downsizing of the 14th Brigade have repeatedly weakened us. In this battle with the Kuomintang army in Hubei District, they adopted the method of automatic destruction. We lost and destroyed ourselves, won the victory and eliminated our strength, and they took advantage of the profits.

Speaking of this, Feng Yuxiang paused for a moment and said in an aggravated tone, "According to the current situation, we should negotiate a truce with the other party, and we can't fight any more!"

There has been no reply from the venue for a long time.

Except for a few officers who objected and resigned, most officers supported Feng Yuxiang's decision.

That night, Feng Yuxiang's headquarters kept calling. He asked the divisions about the situation and contacted the former committee of the National Revolutionary Army by phone.

Lin Tiechang said loudly to him on the phone, "Welcome to the uprising. I will meet you tomorrow."

Subsequently, Lin Tiechang issued an order to the troops to attack the 14th Brigade and separate it from Ma Fawu's troops to ensure the success of the uprising.

The "Domino" of the second battle of Handan was dumped. The uprising of more than 10,000 people under Feng Yuxiang not only quickly changed the contrast between the enemy and our military forces on the battlefield of the second Handan Campaign, but also caused a big gap in the deployment of the Beiyang Army. Lin Tiechang and Ji Yulin could pull out their hands to deal with the 40th and 30th brigades of Mafawu.

Before the uprising, Feng Yuxiang considered working with Ma Fawu for many years and called to persuade Ma Fawu to rise up. Ma Fawu still wanted to hold on and refuse. Seeing that there was no hope in fighting, Feng Yuxiang had to say to Ma Fawu and Chief of Staff Li Xudong, "It seems that it is difficult to go northward, and I have decided not to leave. Hurry back to the south of the Zhanghe River. I have asked the National Revolutionary Army to let you pass. Now the representatives of the National Revolutionary Army are here.

Ma Fawu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment. Li Xudong immediately burst into tears. He knew in his heart that after Feng Yuxiang's uprising, Ma Fawu's two brigades could only be annihilated.

A team of troops gathered towards the north bank of the Zhanghe River. From the vast and flat Jiluyu Great Plain in the east, the stone-filled ravine of Taihang Mountain in the west, and from the winding hills facing Guan and Zishan in the north, they gathered like running water to accommodate the enemy and us. The war stage of 150,000 troops and people in front of the war, how grand and spectacular the scene and momentum are!
