Chapter 122: The Chaos in Jinan (8)

"Mom Xipi!! The Japanese bully people too much!!" Jiang Zhongzheng smashed the cup in his hand to the ground in his office! With a sound of "ping-pong!", the cup was smashed to pieces! Xiong Shihui, who was standing at the desk, did not dare to show up, and lowered his head and waited for Jiang Zhongzheng's order.

Now in this office, not only Chiang Zhongzheng, but also Zhu Peide, the commander-in-chief of the First Army, Yang Jie, the chief of the General Staff, and even Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, have rushed to Chiang Zhongzheng's headquarters to discuss the matter! After all, if the First Army is dragged down here, it will be difficult for the Northern Expedition to continue. With Yan Xishan and the troops in Feng Yuxiang's hands, he is not sure that he can conquer Beijing.

"Jieshi, don't get angry first. The first problem to solve now is whether we will continue to be stalemate with the Japanese or go north directly?!" Feng Yuxiang was very big and looked about 1.8 meters tall! He was tall and strong. He sat on the sofa next to Chiang Zhongzheng and said slowly: "If we do what the Japanese said, we will lose several troops. But if the stalemate continues to wait for the Feng army to recover and defeat them, it will not be easy."

Chiang Zhongzheng met Feng Yuxiang during the first Northern Expedition in 1927. The two met later and met Jinlan. Later, Feng Yuxiang even supported Chiang Zhongzheng who had stepped down and returned to China to take on the heavy burden of the commander-in-chief, so the two of them spoke much more casually.

When Jiang Zhongzheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand and asked Xiong Shihui to sit down and smiled bitterly and said to Feng Yuxiang: "Second brother, the Japanese have too much appetite! You also heard that they were going to detain my 92nd, 93rd Division, 41st and 47th Army! There are only three armies here. I just lost at least 8,000 troops and two artillery regiments to attack Zhonggong Town. I still have a headache about this!"

Feng Yuxiang frowned after hearing Chiang Zhongzheng's words, and thought for a while and said slowly: "Jieshi, the purpose of the Japanese is to delay the Northern Expedition. My suggestion is: If you want to continue the Northern Expedition, you must temporarily meet the conditions of the Japanese. But if you want to save the army, then stop the Northern Expedition. We mobilize the army to fight the Japanese fiercely!"

Speaking of this, Feng Yuxiang said ruthlessly: "I don't believe it! Our hundreds of thousands of troops can't help but fight thousands of people from Japan?! Even if he is made by iron, we can smash it for him! But it's up to you to decide what to do. Since we are the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, we must listen to you."

At this moment, a shout of "report!" came from outside the door. Jiang Zhongzheng glanced at Feng Yuxiang and said to the outsider: "Come in!"

"Yes!" With the response, a guard walked in and spread the folder in his hand and read loudly to Chiang Zhongzheng: "Nanjing emergency telegram: After learning about the Ji case, our government immediately convened an emergency meeting. After the public discussed the strategies for dealing with the Ji case, our government decided to take a tolerant policy and resume the Northern Expedition Army: Our attitude must be particularly 'steadfast'. We must not easily attract Japanese attacks. It is necessary to know that our government should take the prerequisite of completing the Northern Expedition, and the Jinan incident will still be resolved by diplomatic methods. The current parliament has agreed to use Tan Yan to call Sir Drewmont, Secretary-General of the League of International, and request a council meeting to convene a council meeting to publicly determine the Ji case. He also sent important personnel to the UK, France, and the United States to report the details of the Ji case and request the League of Nations to make an official decision. The President of the Government, Tan Yan, Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui, etc., will go to you in the near future, hoping to restrain the national economy! This order: Tan Yan, Chairman of the Guomin Government."

After listening to the guard's report, Jiang Zhongzheng turned to Feng Yuxiang and asked, "Second brother, look..."

Feng Yuxiang was silent for a long time before looking at Chiang Chiang and said slowly: "The Chairman's consideration makes sense. After taking down the Feng army, we will argue with them again! Now for us, the Northern Expedition is more important."

After hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, Chiang Zhongzheng nodded and said loudly, "Come here!" With his voice, a guard opened the door and entered. Chiang Zhongzheng continued: "Record the order: Let the Chairman of the Battlefield Committee Jiang Zuobin arrive at the Japanese Consulate and declare: Our troops can generally recognize the ultimatum of the Japanese army. But our army also has requirements:

(1) Chinese troops that cannot avoid misunderstandings between China and Japan should be punished according to the law; those who have the same actions should also be punished according to the law.

(II) In order to maintain the friendship between China and Japan, there has been a clear ban on anti-Japanese propaganda and has been banned.

(III) All armies within 20 miles of Jiaoji Road have been ordered to set out for the Northern Expedition and will not be stationed for the time being; Jinan is the capital of Shandong and its nearby public property places. Our army has the responsibility to maintain public order and should station a considerable army to maintain peace and order.

(4) Jinpu Station is a major transportation route. Our army should send considerable soldiers to garrison to defend the station and maintain peace.

(5) Xinzhuang and Zhangzhuang's troops have ordered them to go to the front to fight, and the two barracks may not be stationed for the time being.

(VI) The officers and soldiers who were blocked by the Japanese army and the firearms they seized should be returned immediately.

In addition, Feng Huatang, the commander of the 92nd Division, Bao Gang, the commander of the 93rd Division of the 41st Army, and Gao Guizi, the commander of the 47th Army, and Gao Guizi, the commander of the 47th Army, did not obey the military order to avoid the Japanese army, and all were dismissed and investigated!"

After the guard recorded the order, he stood at attention and left the office directly. Seeing that the matter was solved, Feng Yuxiang stood up and sighed and said to Jiang Zhongzheng: "Jieshi, then you can deal with the matter here first. The Second Army also needs me to take care of it. I will go back first."

Chiang Zhongzheng nodded and sent Feng and Xiang to the door of his command to care about each other and separate. That night, Jiang Zuobin, chairman of the battlefield committee of the Revolutionary Army, rushed to the Japanese command overnight to ask for a meeting but was rejected! The so-called ceasefire conditions were not met. Chiang Zhongzheng pondered for a while and ordered Xiong Shihui and Luo Jialun to go to the Japanese command to make a public statement tomorrow morning!

At 10 o'clock that night, the 15th Japanese Regiment and Artillery Squadron entered Jinan. Major General Iwakura Masao, the commander of the 36th Brigade, led more than 500 people from the 23rd Regiment and a machine gun company to enter Jinan. At 4 a.m., the Japanese issued a siege order! First, they continued to bombard Jinan City with artillery fire and restricted Guo Min's defenders from leaving the city within one hour! Suddenly, the city gates caught fire, burning more than a thousand families!

At the same time, the 36th Japanese Brigade occupied Zhangzhuang, Xinzhuang Barracks and Baimashan Station. He then attacked Dangjiazhuang and approached Dangjiazhuang. The 8th Division of the Third Army of the Northern Expedition Army, which was resting at the station, was attacked by the Japanese army, and a large number of weapons and materials were destroyed and captured. On the same day, Xinzhuang and Wuyingshan Gunpowder Depot were occupied by the Japanese army!

Just as the cannons rumbling in Jinan, Zhonggong Town was silent. Tu Qianjun sat on a big rock with a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and said slowly to his four company commanders: "How many brothers are there in our movement?!"

Zhou Tuolong, Qi Mudeng, Liang Hua, whose arms were hung around his neck, and Tian Jixiang, who was wearing gauze on his forehead, did not say anything when he heard this.

"What are you talking about? You're so mute?" Tu Qianjun stood up with a "black!" and stared at them with a tiger's eyes and said, "How many people are there?! Tell me!!"

"In addition to the artillery company, we can move only 430 brothers in the entire battalion. There are 240 seriously injured people who cannot move..." Qi Mudeng was the battalion deputy, and everyone looked at him at this time. Helplessly, he had to bite the bullet and say to Tu Qianjun: "There are 110 brothers who died in battle, but there are probably dozens of seriously injured people who can't stand it..."

After hearing Qi Mudeng's words, Tu Qianjun calmly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it out with the soles of his shoes. He said slowly: "Brothers who died in battle wrote down their names, and when I go back, I personally send the salary and pensions to their houses."

"Notify Tian Siyi: Use all the coordinates set in Jinan City for me! I will smash Jinan City in the early morning tomorrow!" Tu Qianjun's eyes were filled with cold light, and he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Tell Niekayev that he and his brothers have rested for a long time! I will see them picking enough Japanese heads for me in the early morning tomorrow! If they can't pick them enough, let him take his head to the top!!"
