    Chapter 978: The fierce Yamashita Fengwen

    Chen Han, the commander of the second brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the ** Division, was ordered to report to the office of the division commander Tang Qiuli. Chen Han was determined to refuse the task at hand. His brigade was a serious field force.  The task of guarding the disarmed Cantonese soldiers and interrogating the officers was really difficult, and they couldn't muster up their energy at all.  (Baidu search,)

    From the bottom of his heart, Chen Han still cherishes this opportunity to be directly under the command of the division commander. There are dozens of brigade commanders in the entire ** division. Except for a few lucky ones, who can be under the direct command of the division commander?  In battle, if he was on the battlefield fighting the Japanese army, Chen Han would definitely shout long live, but this time, he didn't feel directly lucky.

    As soon as Chen Han entered Tang Qiuli's office, he immediately accepted the combat mission and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, Chen Han, commander of the second brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, was ordered to come and ask for instructions from the division commander," Tang Qiuli's face said  A gentle smile appeared on his face. He liked the generals of the various armies very much and had such a spiritual outlook.

    "Commander Chen is here, please take a seat," he greeted. As soon as Chen Han's buttocks were firmly seated, he hurriedly asked: "Commander, is it that our brigade is going to return to the army? Commander Feng is really, don't tell me in advance."  ," Tang Qiuli looked at Chen Han carefully and noticed that this guy was eager to try, and said, "Chen Han, who said that your brigade is going to be restored?"

    Chen Han was stunned and looked at the division commander in confusion. Tang Qiuli continued: "I called you here today because you have a new mission. I have decided to make you serve as the garrison commander of Guangdong Province. Your second brigade will withdraw from Niangziguan garrison.  How about changing the battle order of the corps to the local garrison? "

    When Chen Han heard this, he became anxious, blushed and said loudly: "Commander, is it our second brigade's combat effectiveness that is not good, or am I, the brigade commander, incompetent? Why did we change from a field force to a local force?" Tang Qiuli did not speak.  , just looking at the furious Chen Han quietly.

    Under the gaze of the division commander, Chen Han became timid, but he was still muttering, "Why did a good field brigade become a local army? Why not let Niu Shuangquan's 8th Brigade be reorganized?" Tang Qiu  Li's face straightened and he said: "Okay, Chen Han, don't be aggrieved. This Guangdong Provincial Security Commander has a heavy responsibility. He not only has to maintain local security, but also has the task of transforming the 700,000 to 80,000 Guangdong troops. I don't care if you Chen Han  I wouldn¡¯t trust anyone else with Han¡¯s ability.¡±

    Chen Han knew that this matter could not be pushed back no matter what. He stood up and stood at attention and said loudly: "Yes, commander, I promise to complete the task." Tang Qiuli then said: "In a few months, the capital of Guangdong Province will become the headquarters of all our troops.  You must manage the rear area well. In addition, I have transferred a group of people from Dingbian Military Academy to establish the Guangzhou branch. The school will be located at Huangpu Military Academy and vigorously recruit educated young people. In addition, I will give you a secret.  The task is to monitor all the movements of the Guangdong Provincial Government. I will ask Shen Jun to transfer a group of people from the Investigation Department to you, so that it will be easier to handle. "

    After sending Chen Han away, Tang Qiuli fell into deep thought. Although he had control of the power in Guangdong Province, neither the original Chen Jitang's forces nor Yu Hanmou's forces could be eliminated in a short time. These were all unstable factors.  Therefore, the military power in Guangdong Province cannot be handed over to Xiao Hanqian, which is also a restriction.

    Thinking of Yu Hanmou, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but think of Liu Xinlan's figure. This shadow was lingering in his heart and mind. He didn't dare to face it and couldn't forget it. Just when Shan Hu came in, he asked  Said: "Huzi, how is Miss Liu?"

    Shan Hu glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and said, "As you asked, Miss Liu came to see you early this morning, but my men stopped her on the grounds that Guangzhou is not very safe at the moment.  How about it, see you or not see her?" Tang Qiuli lowered his head, as if in pain, and said after a long time: "Huzi, go and tell her in person, it's better not to see her, and I won't see her from today on.  Her protective measures were revoked.¡±

    He sighed again and said: "It's just a dream after all. Why bother asking for trouble? Meeting her caused too many memories and I was even more painful. In addition, I gave her ten thousand oceans, not to mention it was from me, and  "If she doesn't want to stay in Guangzhou, just introduce her to Dingbian, that's it." Shan Hu thought about it, but there was no good way. To be honest, Shan Hu didn't really want to see Liu Xinlan. The reason was different from Tang Qiuli.  Just like that, it brings back too many painful memories.

    Just before going out, Shan Hu said hesitantly: "Mei Xue came to me just now and asked what happened last night. I didn't tell her about Liu Xinlan." Tang Qiuli did not respond, and his eyes were blurred. Maybe,  After making this decision, there will never be another chance to meet Liu Xinlan in this life, and for Mei Xue, it is okay not to know about this episode.

    In the afternoon, Wang Longyun of Yunnan sent an urgent telegram, "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, at midnight on June 23,At about 6 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army, with about 60,000 troops from two divisions, launched a fierce attack on the Funing front line in the Yunnan-Guangxi border area. As of noon today, one brigade of the Funing garrison of our Yunnan Army had completely  The army was wiped out and Funing fell. In front of them, the Japanese army was advancing towards Kaihua and Xichou. I begged Vice Chairman Tang to send effective troops into Yunnan Province to ensure that Yunnan was not lost.  "

    Long Yun is very smart and rational. Although he has more than 200,000 troops in his hands, with the weapons and equipment and training level of the Yunnan Army, he has little chance of winning against the more than 60,000 Japanese troops. Furthermore, Long Yun has worked hard to manage Yunnan for many years.  He had accumulated so much wealth, but he didn't want to waste it all in a deadly battle with the Japanese army. If this was the case, Long Yun would have no place to stay in Yunnan, and he would not be driven out by other powerful factions. Therefore, he asked Tang  Qiu Li reached out for help.

    The Japanese attack route in Yunnan confirmed Tang Qiuli's judgment. They aimed to seize the junction of Yunnan's border with Southeast Asian countries and establish an outpost for attacking Southeast Asia. At this time, it was not the right time to send troops into Yunnan. Moreover, the horizontal  Crossing Guizhou-Qianchuan and entering Yunnan, any unit would go deep alone. If the Japanese troops attacking Guizhou turned around and headed south, wouldn't they be surrounded?

    Troops will not be sent for the time being, and Long Yun should be reassured, "Chairman Long Xunjian, the Japanese army attacked Yunnan, intending to open up the Yunnan-Myanmar and Yunnan-Vietnam border areas, and connect with the mainland. The Yunnan Army troops must not communicate with  The Japanese army is powerful. If the Japanese army invades Kunming north, Chairman Long might as well give up and retreat to northern Yunnan to preserve his strength. I am mobilizing troops to form an aid force to Yunnan, which involves a lot of manpower and material resources. It will not be possible to form an army in a short time.  At this time, the Yunnan Army has decided not to fight the Japanese army. Of course, this is just Tang¡¯s personal suggestion. Please consider it.¡±

    I don¡¯t know what the Yunnan king thought after seeing Tang Qiuli¡¯s telegram. If he wanted to fight with the Japanese in order to preserve his territory, Tang Qiuli had already done his best. How to do it was up to Long Yun.  own things.

    On the morning of June 24, Chang Feng sent another telegram, "Division commander, it has been found out that those attacking in the direction of Dushan are the 15th Army of the Yamashita Fengwen Department of the Japanese Army, and those attacking in the direction of Ziyun are the Japanese Nanning Front Army.  The second division of Dao Xian, attacking in the direction of Guanling, is the Oshima Imosaburo division of the Japanese Taiwan Front. They have just received information that the Yamashita Fengwen Division has captured Dushan and is currently advancing in the direction of Duyun, Ziyun and Guanling.  , is in the midst of a fierce battle.¡±

    After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli was shocked. With the strong troops deployed by the Central Army in southern Guizhou, Dushan should not have been broken through so quickly. Among the three-pronged Japanese attack, Yamashita Fengwen had the smallest number of troops, but the fastest attack speed.  The terrain conditions of Dushan are much more complicated than Ziyun and Guanling. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was the first to be captured. Isn't it normal? Is there something evil in this?

    "Immediately send a telegram to Chang Feng and quickly find out the direction of Dushan. Who is the commander of the Central Army garrison?" Tang Qiuli hurriedly ordered. A few hours later, Chang Feng called back, "Division Commander, it has been found out that Dushan  The commander of the Central Army garrison is General Liu Zhi," Tang Qiuli sat down on the chair, almost groaning in pain.

    No wonder Yamashita Fengwen advanced so fast in the Dushan direction with less than 90,000 troops. As far as he knew, the Central Army troops in the Dushan direction had at least two group armies with more than 150,000 troops, and they occupied favorable geographical locations.  Why couldn't they resist Yamashita Fengwen's attack? It turned out that Liu Zhi was the commander.

    Tang Qiuli had not met Liu Zhi many times, but he had dealt with him several times. The most recent one was when he served as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression after the Xi'an Incident. At that time, Liu Zhi served as  The commander-in-chief of the West Route Army could not even control the division commanders under him. Although he had a high status in the Central Army, he had made no achievements and his talents were mediocre. He was jokingly called "Fujiang" by his colleagues in the army.  Historically, this Duke has never won a battle, whether in the Anti-Japanese War or the two civil wars with Japan.

    However, he has always been trusted and reused by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, taking charge of the military many times, and miraculously leading the troops after each defeat. This has become a mystery that is unsolved by later generations of historians. Tang Qiuli secretly complained in his heart, "Chiang Kai-shek"  Has the Chairman lost his mind and sent such an incompetent senior general to serve as the commander of a major direction? There are so many famous generals in the Central Army, such as Wei Lihuang, Du Yuming, and Xue Yue. Any one of them will not be able to do it.  It would be so easy for Hui Shanxia Fengwen to succeed."

    "But Chairman Chiang sent out such a person who looks like dough. Can he withstand the sword of Yamashita Fengwen, who is known for his fierceness?  Tang Qiuli was worried and worried about the situation in Dushan in southern Guizhou in Guangzhou. Dushan had been captured, and Yamashita Fengwen, who was commanding more than 90,000 tiger and wolf Japanese troops to attack Duyun, was also dissatisfied and lost his temper.

    There is only one reason. Yamashita Fengwen believes that the attack speed of the troops is too slow. According to his plan, the leading unit of the 15th Army should appear in the Longli area in the east of Guiyang at this moment, not in the area.This small town is covered in rubble.
