    Chapter 232 Entrustment

    Therefore, even though Song Zheyuan suddenly made this decision at a meeting of senior military officers out of various psychological reasons, Tang Qiuli still felt a little uncomfortable.

    Song Zheyuan is a very complex character. His inner patriotism and warlord consciousness are equally strong, which often makes him fall into fierce ideological struggles. He has deep-rooted warlord separatist ideas. Half of what he did in Beiping and Tianjin was forced by the Japanese.  , half of them still hope to establish an independent kingdom and engage in military separatism.

    The chairman of the committee made great efforts to win over him, but Song Zheyuan was still unwilling to throw himself into his arms in the end. After the Lugouqiao Incident, Song kept saying that he wanted to leave some ground for Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army, which reflected that deep down in his heart, Feng Yuxiang was always higher than the committee members.  Chairman, the situation at that time, the chairman of the committee had achieved unification, those who followed me prospered, and those who went against me perished. How many generals of the Northwest Army kept pace with the times and took refuge with the chairman. Song Zheyuan's loyalty to Feng Yuxiang was amazing.

    Song Zheyuan did not want to fight against Japan and kill the enemy, but the deep-rooted warlordism in his mind eventually ruined his military career. The Chairman of the Generalissimo was able to reuse Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian, Liu Ruming and others, as well as other Northwest Army generals such as Sun Lianzhong, but he refused to use Song Zheyuan.  Just saw through his selfish thoughts.

    Zhang Zizhong fought hard with the 59th Army and the Banyuan Division he had cultivated by himself in Southern Shandong. He completely ignored the casualties and won the great victory of Linyi.  It was this spirit of sacrificing the individual and fulfilling the greater self that finally won China the victory in the War of Resistance.

    In the final analysis, Song Zheyuan is a figure created during China's decades of warlord war. Although he has unyielding national integrity, due to fatal ideological flaws, he cannot become the mainstay of the anti-Japanese and national salvation. Song Zheyuan ultimately failed to die on the battlefield and received the ideal of a soldier.  His fate is indeed regrettable, but it is also reasonable.

    Song Zheyuan was such a sophisticated man. Although Tang Qiuli's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he still had that faint smile, the glint that flashed in his eyes from time to time could not be hidden from his eyes. How could he not know the heart of this young man?  .

    Tightening Tang Qiuli's hand, he leaned in his ear: "Brother, I know what you think. If Song asks for help in person, I will definitely refuse. This is suspected of taking advantage of the chaos! People who don't understand the truth will  I misunderstood that my brother borrowed the power of Nanjing to exclude Song and replace him. "

    "Brother, compared with the overall situation of the country, I know which one is more important than my personal honor and disgrace. I know for myself! Song did it for no other reason than to preserve the bones and blood of the 29th Army, the Northwest Army, and not die in vain in some  The big shot's stupid decision is worthy of the old officer, Song is just two words, please!"

    After finishing the words, there seemed to be a sense of sadness. The discomfort in Tang Qiuli's heart had long since disappeared. He was moved by Song Zheyuan's true feelings. Over the years, Commander Song had endured humiliation and heavy burdens, worked in many ways, and tried every means to preserve the northwest line.  There is not much blood left.

    The Chairman of the Generalissimo put such a mess in North China under the control of the non-direct Northwest Army, pushing the 29th Army and Song Zheyuan to the forefront. How could he not use the Japanese sword to get rid of the 29th Army?  ?

    He understood that the old officer Song Zheyuan was talking about was Feng Yuxiang. This old soldier with great patriotism and national spirit had always been a role model in Tang Qiuli's heart. In the face of national justice, personal honor and disgrace were nothing.

    At this moment, he was moved by the spiritual state of these soldiers of this era who were concerned about the country and the people. Although they had shortcomings in their characters, they just did not forget the national justice and did not lose their national integrity.  It¡¯s worth doing something for them!

    Since history has given us such an important responsibility, let us put aside all our baggage and burdens and use our own abilities to give the 29th Army a bright future. Let these soldiers establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield of killing the enemy instead of becoming politicians.  They are victims of political intrigue and mutual strife.

    After making this decision, Tang Qiuli felt relaxed all over. He faced all the officers with calm eyes. The frankness and sincerity in his eyes were undisguised. There are some intuitions and connections between real soldiers that others cannot understand, and sometimes,  Soldiers trust their own intuitive judgment more.

    The tense and slightly sad atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated. The senior officers of the 29th Army looked at Tang Qiuli with more kind and accepting eyes.

    Tang Qiuli stood up and solemnly saluted the officers present: "Comrades of the 29th Army, Tang Qiuli is not even a young man, but thanks to the commander's high regard and entrusted with such an important task, you should do your best.  I, Tang Qiuli, raised the flag of rebellion in the Northeast when I was sixteen years old and fought against the Japanese invaders. Over the past four years, nearly 200,000 Japanese died at the hands of our Japanese soldiers. Tang Qiuli is confident that he is worthy of the Chinese.  conscience!"

    Tang QiuliAs soon as he finished speaking, the conference room was flooded with a rain of applause from the officers of the 29th Army below.

    "These officers are face to face with the Japanese army on the front line. They know very well that the Japanese army's equipment, firepower, and the training level of Japanese soldiers are more than ten times higher than that of the Chinese Army.

    And this Commander Tang, when he was sixteen years old, fought with the Japanese in the Northeast, leading tens of thousands of troops, and was able to achieve a brilliant record of wiping out nearly two hundred thousand enemies. When he entered the pass, he was invincible all the way, and defeated the enemy.  The Japanese army captured Jinzhou, the most important strategic location in the Northeast, and also wiped out Yin Rugeng's traitorous security corps.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of this kind of record, can anyone here compare to it?  What is even more difficult is that in the process of fighting for thousands of miles, he was able to retreat despite repeatedly defeating powerful enemies. He had excellent military command skills, his troops were well-trained soldiers, and he was determined to resist the enemy to the death.  Only people can do it!

    Tong Linge and Qin Dechun, deputy commanders of the 29th Army, are veterans in the army. They know that strength is the basis of speech at any time. Tang Qiuli's army has nearly 80,000 troops, with a total strength of  It almost exceeds the entire strength of the 29th Army. As for weapons and equipment, the 29th Army cannot even compare.

    Regarding the current situation in Beiping, Tianjin and North China, the two of them had no good strategy, and the old army commander's attitude was not very clear. He was happy for someone to step forward and resist the wind and rain. As for whether Tang Qiuli took the opportunity to plot against the 29th Army, it was not clear.  The two of them were not worried about losing their status in the army. People looked down on them as rags. The heavy weapons that the 29th Army regarded as treasures were eliminated by the ** division.

    Therefore, the two deputy commanders took the lead in saying that they would comply with the wishes of the old commander and resolutely obey the orders of Deputy Commander Tang. The two big bosses of the military department expressed their opinions, but the officers at all levels below did not agree.

    General Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 38th Division, was filled with passion. The Japanese invaders invaded China. Due to the situation, he could not go into battle to kill the enemy. Seeing the Japanese invaders rampant and showing off their ferocity in front of the Chinese people, his heart was bleeding in pain more than once. Now,  , this young general who was less than twenty years old, fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders for four years in the white mountains and black waters, and achieved impressive results, which he could not help but admire.

    ¡° Such a Chinese man makes the Japanese invaders fearful. Why should I, Zhang Zizhong, disobey?  The general was tall and spoke passionately. He took the lead in saying that he accepted the command of Deputy Commander Tang. Anyone who could fight the Japanese would be at the disposal of the 38th Division at any time.

    General Zhang Zizhong died heroically for his country in May 1940 during the battle against Japan in the mountains of northwest Hubei. He was only 49 years old.  According to historical records, when the general's coffin arrived at the county town, Japanese aircraft hovered over the tens of thousands of people who greeted the coffin. The people were not afraid, and the Japanese aircraft did not even dare to drop bombs.

    Tang Qiuli looked at these passionate soldiers. There are several of them here who are figures in the annals of history. Some even died heroically on the battlefield. Can his appearance change their fate?

    After the officers calmed down, Tang Qiuli continued: "Everyone, the ** Division will never enter the Pingjin area in a large scale. The ** Division will not take over any of the 29th Army's defense areas. Don't worry!"

    As soon as this statement came out, the officers were shocked and even confused. Since ancient times, the army has not been for territory. Without territory, it means there is no foundation. Sooner or later, it will be annexed by other forces. In North China, the Pingjin area, absolutely  It's a piece of fat.

    Tang Qiuli knew in his heart that in the upcoming Sino-Japanese war, the Japanese Army and the 29th Army would face Japanese troops several times larger than his own. Peking and Tianjin would be lost sooner or later, so why bother fighting for the places they were about to lose?  Sending troops in aroused the suspicion of all the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army, and also affected the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war.

    He did this to show his attitude. Even though he took over the position of deputy commander of the 29th Army, he would never benefit from it and let his troops enter the Pingjin area while squeezing out the 29th Army.  Ninth Army.

    Moreover, in his mind, he already had a better choice than Pingjin, a place more conducive to the development of the army and long-term dealings with the Japanese. He had never wanted Pingjin, so why not take a high profile and relieve their suspicions?  Tang Qiuli was happy to do something that would help him take over and reorganize the 29th Army and achieve multiple things with one stone.

    This shows that even Song Zheyuan was surprised. He appointed Tang Qiuli as deputy army commander. On the one hand, he took a fancy to Tang Qiuli's character. On the other hand, he was also forced by the formality. He was already ready to let him  The division was mentally prepared to enter Pingjin, and this was also the price to pay.

    Now, Tang Qiuli said this, all the senior officers of the 29th Army completely believed in his sincerity, admired his attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration, and all their hostility and dissatisfaction towards him disappeared, and they regarded him as one of their own.  .

    All the officers came in front of Tang Qiu, solemnly saluted with military salutes, and resolutely stated that they would absolutely obey the command of Deputy Commander Tang. Even the two deputy commanders?Exception, because except for Song Zheyuan, only Tang Qiuli here holds the rank of lieutenant general. Although he is the youngest, his military exploits and strength are all there, which cannot but be admired.

    It is very rare to be recognized and fully sincerely accepted by these senior officers of the former Northwest Army who have strong sectarian ideas. Tang Qiuli did not expect that this time he came to Peiping originally for the territory on both sides of the Taihang Mountains.  Now, there is such a huge unexpected gain. These are nearly 100,000 well-trained soldiers, who will play an immeasurable role in the future anti-Japanese battlefield.

    Tang Qiuli decided to give them another surprise.
