Chapter 703: Attack the troops of Shandong!

Compared with Jiang Zhongzheng's situation, Zhang Zongchang seems to be worse at this time. As the direct trigger of this incident, he has an inescapable responsibility.

Moreover, the parade from Shanghai has begun to spread all over the country in just a few days, more unprecedented than a few months ago, especially Shandong, which is at the center of the storm. It is even more powerful. It can't stand being squeezed by Zhang Zongchang or suppressed by his soldiers in Jinan, Qingdao, Zibo and Yan. People, workers and businessmen from Taiwan, Weifang and other places went to the streets one after another, shouted slogans, and let Zhang Zongchang step down and get out of Shandong. Even some radical people rushed to the military stations in various places to protest, but they were brutally suppressed.

For a moment, a thousand-layer wave was stirred up. The wave of anti-Zhang across the country was higher than a wave, and there was a tendency to drown it in the saliva. Moreover, newspapers everywhere also took this opportunity to attack Zhang Zongchang and listed all his deeds in Shandong and published it in the newspaper. In just a few days, Zhang Zongchang It became the target of public criticism, like a mouse crossing the street, and everyone shouted to beat.

Although the day after Du Haisheng's press conference was published in the newspaper, Zhang Zongchang reacted quickly, apologized in the newspaper and begged the public for forgiveness.

However, the people have been deceived by him once, how can they believe his lies again? This time, not only did he not get anyone's sympathy, but he was counterproductive and was more fiercely criticized.

On August 6, the second day after Jiang Zhong was discussing countermeasures with He Yingqin and Yang Yongtai, he made a large report through the throat newspaper controlled by the Nanjing National Government, claiming that the Nanjing National Government was also a victim in this incident. He was blinded by Zhang Zongchang's appearance and did not find out the truth of the matter. Apologize for making a statement.

Not only that, but even his attitude changed again. He criticized Zhang Zongchang's tyranny in Shandong for harm, and he said what he said like a big girl who was innocently harmed.

All the disgraceful roles played by the Nanjing National Government in this incident were shirked, and some of them even fell on Zhang Zongchang's head.

The world is cold, and I'm afraid it's just that.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also decided to order Chen Tiaoyuan's troops to withdraw from Shandong, return to Nantong, Haimen, Jiangsu Province, and start the front line for rest and recuperation, and declared that he would no longer recognize the legal status of the Shandong government.

In this way, it is equivalent to declaring that Zhang Zongchang's Shandong government is an illegal institution.

Not only is it not popular, but it is also an illegal existence.

Shanghai, the headquarters of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion.

In the small conference room on the third floor, all the middle and senior generals of the Third Army, such as Wu Peifu, Zhang Zongchang, Xue Yue, Huang Jinrong, Zhou Wenshan, Zhang Xiaolin, Duan Tianhu, Wu Yinghui, Wei Yixiong and Zhou Jiakang, were present, while Tang Sheng of the Second Army and several commanders of the First Army did not attend the meeting.

When everyone arrived, Du Haisheng just said hello to everyone and still looked at the newspaper in his hand.

The big guy was confused and whispered, but he didn't understand what Du Haisheng's move meant. Looking at Wu Peifu, he also took a newspaper and read it seriously. In front of them, there was a thick pile of newspapers. Everyone thought about it and understood the meaning. They stopped talking, picked up the newspaper and began to read it. Come on.

Even if you don't want to read it, you have to play. After all, Du Haisheng and Wu Peifu's intention is obvious.

As time went by, when everyone almost lost patience because of boredom, Du Haisheng put the newspaper on the table and suddenly lost his voice and laughed loudly.

Everyone shifted their eyes from the newspaper and looked at him with a burst of doubt.

Du Haisheng didn't care. He pointed to the content of the newspaper and said with a smile, "Look, everyone, this Zongchang pretends to be pitiful again. Not only does he, but also has another person. It's amazing. The Nanjing National Government began to admit that it had made a mistake again, the same as a few months ago, but it just an attitude came. It's a hundred and eighty-degree big change. In my opinion, the officials of the Nanjing National Government are thicker than the wall. They turn their faces, but they are faster than turning over the book. Zhang Zongchang should also be unlucky. He supports such a person to be the boss. As a result, he was betrayed by the boss. Who will cry?

Du Haisheng's words immediately made everyone in the conference room laugh. The original tense and strange scene disappeared in an instant and suddenly became active.

Xue Yue also echoed, "Yes, Jiang, everything is good, but he is too suspicious. He thought he had asked for a big white daughter-in-law, but he took it back. As a result, the daughter-in-law was only a layer. As soon as she took a shower, her true face was exposed. It turned out to be a black man. There was nothing she could do. What should I do? Divorce. Even if you are divorced, you have to pretend to be a victim, just like an angry little daughter-in-law.

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed more unscrupulously. Even the three unsmiling guys, Wu Yinghui, Wei Yixiong and Zhou Jiakang, showed a faint smile on their faces.

Du Haisheng nodded and said, "General Commander Xue is right. This time, I'm afraid that Jiang will lose his wife and fight and toss around. His daughter-in-law is not asleep. His daughter-in-law is still with other people's men, and other people's men are still thinking about his other daughters-in-law. It's really not worth the loss. However, this It also tells us a truth. Don't do anything wrong. Zhang Zongchang attacked the escort train, and 500 soldiers of the third regiment were killed. He Jiang can't see who is the real mastermind behind the scenes. But in order to get his daughter-in-law, he had to open his eyes and lie. As a result, his daughter-in-law became a hot taro and wanted to dump him. I can't get rid of it."

Everyone laughed again.

Xue Yue also nodded repeatedly. Although he smiled on the surface, he had vaguely guessed the content of the meeting in his heart.

In the First Route Army, Wu Peifu and Du Haisheng are also the chief and deputy commanders. Du Haisheng is also the commander-in-chief of the First Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Front Army. This is why he appeared at today's meeting, while Sun Chuanfang, the commander of the Fourth Army, who is also part of the First Route Army, did not attend, and the commanders of the two armies of the Second Army simply did not Attendance, that is to say, this meeting must be a discussion about the Third Route Army.

Moreover, it is very likely to be related to sending troops to Shandong.

As a senior general and the former head of the elite division of the Republic of China, Xue Yue was of course not afraid of war. When he guessed this, there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

In recent years, he has been around Shanghai. In addition to dealing with the Japanese, he has also suppressed the Shanghai gangster riots and has not really been on the battlefield, which makes him a little unhappy. Now, since there is a war to fight, no matter what kind of battle it is, whether it is difficult or not, these are mostly the second. It is most important to be able to fight.

Du Haisheng glanced at the crowd, withdrew his joking smile, and said, "I'm sure everyone has seen the content of this newspaper. The Nanjing National Government decided to withdraw its troops from Shandong from now on, and declared that there would be no conflict with the coalition forces. However, Lao Jiang has withdrawn his troops and played with us. . "

With that, he looked at everyone meaningfully and asked, "Have you seen any way in it?"

It was not only Xue Yue, but even Wu Peifu was stunned. Everyone picked up the newspaper again and re-read the content of the statement of the Nanjing National Government from beginning to end.

This time, several people's eyes suddenly brightened and knew what he meant.

Du Haisheng did not ask them to answer, but opened the curtain wall made of silk, pointed to an area on the military map, and said, "Look here, Nantong, Haimen, Qidong, Lao Jiang asked Chen Diaoyuan to rest is really good. It's only one river away from my Chongming Island, and this is a The narrow strip is not wide. Even if you shoot, you can hurt people on the other side.

His words completely woke up the dreamer. Everyone looks like a sudden enlightenment.

Du Haisheng continued: "It seems that Lao Jiang has also learned to be smart. He is also afraid that after we win in the Shandong battlefield, we will turn to Jiangsu, follow the Jinpu Railway to Pukou, and then cross the river from Pukou to Nanjing. Therefore, he also wants to make a strategy in advance to threaten and suppress us. However, Lao Jiang did so. It also seems too wishful thinking.

"Do you want us to destroy Chen Tsoyuan's department?"

Duan Tianhu heard what the boss meant, was silent for a moment, and then asked.

Du Haisheng waved his hand and said, "No, Chen Tianyuan's department is nothing, just let him make a fuss."

After saying that, he glanced at the crowd, and then slowly said, "Lao Jiang's little trick, Wu Dashuai and I have already seen through it. Whether he attacked Shanghai from Haimen, from Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, or from Yuhang to reach the situation of encirclement of Shanghai, my Jiangnan Iron and Blood Legion has a way to let them go. No reply. But..."

With that, he paused and then said the focus of the meeting: "What we want to solve at present is the problem of Zhang Zongchang in Shandong. A few days ago, since we chose to send troops, after discussing with Marshal Wu, we decided to let Xue Yue, your Third Route Army take on this responsibility, and the Independent Tiger and Wolf Division will also follow you. "

After saying that, looking at the crowd, Du Haisheng wanted to see what kind of reaction everyone had.
