Years later, military scientists condemned Yu Heng Yicheng as a pig. Otherwise, why not organize troops to break out of Qingdao instead of moving to Jinan. In fact, everyone has misunderstood. The real situation is that Yuheng Yisheng called Tokyo urgently. In addition to reporting the disastrous defeat of the Ninth Division, he also asked himself to lead the Second Division and the Ninth Division to move to Qingdao. As for the Eleventh Division The regiment continued to hold on to Jinan and wait for reinforcements. Yuheng Yisheng was still frightened by the new weapons of the Chinese army, including aircraft, tanks and submachine gun combinations. Unfortunately, this request was rejected by Tokyo, who cursed Yuheng Yisheng as a waste. , and then issued an order to Yu Heng Yi Cheng to maintain the dignity of the imperial army. The entire army moved towards Jinan and stood firm to wait for reinforcements. Although Yu Heng Yi Cheng was the first to lead troops into battle, he also knew that he was going to Jinan and It made no difference to die, but the characteristics of the Japanese soldier still forced him to obey the decision of his superiors and move to Jinan. It is said that this suggestion was made by Sadao Araki. The reason was that the army was gathering in Jinan, and there was nothing the China Army could do to me. Bai Chongxi did not report victory immediately, but ordered all troops to defend Jinan as scheduled. On December 14, as the 30th Division entered the position, Jinan's three Japanese divisions with 60,000 troops were firmly trapped to death. In Bai Chongxi's words, unless they broke through the Yellow River, it would be difficult to fly even with wings, so the game was already a dead end. Bai Chongxi reported victory with a stroke of his pen. On December 15, the front pages of "National Daily", "Youth Army Daily" and "Shenbao" simultaneously used a headline: "Shandong's Great Victory". Huang Yuansheng, who was already the press spokesman of the National Government, once again wrote: ",,,, starting from December 11, our brave young officers and soldiers of the Northern Expedition, under the command of General Bai Chongxi, General Jiang Fangzhen, and General Liu Xing, launched continuous fierce attacks on the Japanese army. In this battle, our soldiers all fought to die first and fought for their lives. The Japanese invaders they killed were retreating steadily. As of yesterday, more than 10,000 Japanese troops had been wiped out, and the remaining troops fled into Jinan. Our 300,000-strong army has surrounded the remaining 60,000 Japanese troops. In the city of Jinan, this battle is the greatest victory since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The century-old humiliation of our Chinese nation can be wiped out today." Wang Zhenyu was already excited because he could get the battle report at any time. It was rare for him to be in a good mood. The Standing Committee of the Round Square walked to the office area of ??the Ministry of Navy, and together with Chen Shaokuan, who had just returned to Wuhan, gave a brief speech to the Ministry of Navy, encouraging them to make contributions in this war. Then Wang Zhenyu suddenly had a whim and called Wang Chen Hao and Chen Bui drove to Wang Jingye's school. Crowds of people celebrating the victory were everywhere along the way. Almost every shop on the roadside was decorated with lights and decorated with the five-color flag of the Republic of China. Wang Zhenyu smiled at Chen Brai and said: "Our national flag is really accepted by everyone at this moment." , but Bray, this flag needs to be changed. Sun Wen and the others originally came up with this flag because of the need for the republic of the five ethnic groups. Now Mr. Liang Qichao¡¯s definition of the Chinese nation is so difficult to explain the five ethnic groups, and only the five ethnic groups are left. There is a Chinese nation. So, you should take the lead and organize a state and political system research association for me, including Yang Du and Yang Yongtai. I will personally serve as the president and recruit a bunch of famous people to serve as vice presidents. Let¡¯s do a good job. After studying and thinking about the issue of the national system, the national emblem and the national anthem, there is no need for the central government in Beijing to continue to exist. " Chen Bui has been following Wang Zhenyu for more than three years, and now he has learned to analyze it and cancel the plan designed by Sun Wen and others. Five-Colored Flag, does the committee mean to cancel Sun Wen too? But as a secretary, I don¡¯t dare to ask more questions. I just carry out what I¡¯m told. What¡¯s more, what excites Chen Brai is that this seminar is very important to him personally. This is his first real experience since becoming a secretary. According to his understanding of Wang Zhenyu's character, this is the rhythm to let himself go. In Beijing, the central government has been sentenced to death by Wang Zhenyu. Civil servants in various ministries are not interested in going to work. Now all fools know that the pace of unification of the Southern National Government is unstoppable. Everyone admires people like Cao Rulin. After Duan Qirui failed last time , together with Xu Shuzheng and others, they defected to the National Government in the south. Their power will inevitably remain the same in the future. However, those who did not go south now have become a little panicked all day long, spending all day inquiring about news in these four-nine cities. But in Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, it seemed like overnight, Zhang Zuolin had aged dozens of years, his hair had turned mostly gray, and his energy had completely disappeared. Except when he was smoking, he looked like a dead man at all other times. With an expression on his face, he sat dejectedly on the small steps in front of his desk and stared motionless at the snowy scene outside the door. At this time, Beijing had not yet been polluted by later generations, and the snowy scene was still very interesting. They all said that it depends on Bai Xue¡¯s mood. It would be fine, but the more Zhang Zuolin looked at it, the colder his heart became. Although the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were still there, and although his territory had not been reduced by an inch, even a fool knew that he had lost the bet, completely and utterly. Clean. Yang Yuting and the others were standing outside the door and secretly eyeing Zhang Zuolin. To be honest, no one could have imagined that the usually arrogant Japanese would be so vulnerable to Wang Zhenyu's army. ? ?However, the battle situation on the front line had been reported to Beijing since the 12th. At that time, the content was unclear. The only clue that could be seen was that the Japanese embassy was brightly lit almost every night, obviously something bad had happened. When the exact news came this morning, Zhang Zuolin, who still had a trace of luck in his heart, was completely crushed. But what could be done? Even the Japanese couldn't defeat Wang Zhenyu, and Yang Yuting also received news that Japan was trying to kill Wang Zhenyu. This war broke out with fierce quarrels. It is said that Tanaka Giichi's plan to send troops to reinforce Shandong was not approved. Prime Minister Kei Hara preferred to end the Shandong War decently and organize the Feng army to retreat outside the customs. In a word, Japan now intends to maintain its Just the interests in Manchuria. In fact, at the Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo, Japan, Tanaka Giichi angrily told Prime Minister Hara Kei: "If we cannot achieve fundamental victory in Shandong, then let alone Manchuria, the entire continent will have nothing to do with us. Do you think Wang Zhenyu is Who is he? Is he a warlord? Does he just want a piece of land that can be divided to satisfy his own needs? No, this man is a real Chinese man and a nationalist. He is not a bandit like Zhang Zuolin, nor is he Yuan Shikai Such a bureaucrat is an idealistic person, just like you and me. What he wants is the rise of China as a whole, and this is exactly what the Empire of Japan cannot tolerate and allow. " Yuan Jing slapped the table angrily. : "Then according to your statement, the Army knew the strength of the Youth Army for a long time, but deliberately deceived the Emperor and the Cabinet into sending troops to Shandong, and deliberately sent only three divisions, which led to this defeat. The purpose of appointing Yuheng Yichen was also Here, if it were other imperial generals who found something abnormal, they would definitely not rush in and be surrounded, right? " Hara Kei really thought of Tanaka in a complicated way. Did Tanaka know that the Youth Army also had aircraft and tanks? Thinking that Yu Heng would fight like this if he went there, he had originally planned to gain military exploits, right? But now, even the personal friendship with Yuheng Yisheng could not be taken care of. Tanaka Yiichi suddenly stood up and said: "Yes, the speed of development of Southern China in the past few years has made the entire army feel Afraid, but you and your colleagues are still obsessed with the so-called democratic system. Japan needs living space rather than votes. Now is the time to correct this mistake. Please withdraw troops from Siberia immediately. Kolchak has failed. We We should cooperate with the Bolsheviks, the victors of the Russian Civil War, and then use all the imperial power to nip South China in the bud. As for me personally, I am willing to resign as Prime Minister and take full responsibility for this failure. " Silence, the room fell into unprecedented silence. , as if everything had stopped, as if the air had solidified. After a long time, Hara sighed and said: "Tanaka-kun, why do you soldiers always think of things so simply? Britain and France will not agree to a total war, but we There is no spare time to take care of both battlefields. It is time to end this war with dignity. As for the unification of China, as long as the South China government recognizes the empire's interests in China, then it doesn't matter. " Tanaka looked at the old man in front of him. He became angry: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please consider the consequences. Choosing to give up the empire's interests in China at such a moment is tantamount to betraying Japan, and that is a national traitor." Yuan Jing was also angry when he heard this, and he looked at it without fear. He said to Tanaka: "There is no need to scare me, Mr. Tanaka. What the Japanese people need now is rice instead of bayonets. The empire has not had a good day's rest since the Russo-Japanese War. How can you warriors harm the entire country just to satisfy your own ambitions?" As for the interests of the people, please stand down and I will meet with Mr. Yamagata." Tanaka stamped his feet in anger but left helplessly. Although Hara Kei wants to end the war with dignity, Yamaxian and Togo, two old guys who are dying, do not agree. Although they also believe that continuing to fight is not good for the empire, they also insist that once the empire loses the war, it will have a negative impact on the morale of the people. The blow was too great, and more importantly, Tanaka's analysis was not entirely undesirable. At least one thing was certain. Wang Zhenyu would definitely unify the country with a great victory. Dongxiang, who had always supported Hara Kei, was obviously a bit old and confused. He said excitedly: "Shandong is a peninsula. As long as my invincible Imperial Japanese Navy is here, we have no reason to abandon this wealthy place. The jujubes there are delicious. One of my teeth broke last time." " In this way, the Japanese high-level officials began to quarrel frequently, and then they came to a strange result. They neither planned when to send additional reinforcements to China, nor when they would urge Britain and France to end the war in an honorable manner. The 60,000 Japanese troops who were besieged in Jinan City seemed to have been forgotten by the big shots in Tokyo at this moment.
