Chapter 603 Waiting with bated breath
A power-up from Li Hanhun became the last straw that crushed Chen Jitang. Seeing Li Hanhun's power-up Chen Jitang was desperate, he had already noticed the changes around him. Li Hanhun was undoubtedly the person he trusted the most
one.
Now that Li Hanhun has left, how can he resist the erosion of Nanjing? For a moment, Chen Jitang was discouraged and thought that he might as well go back.
On the same day, Yu Hanmou issued an ultimatum to Chen Jitang, demanding that Chen Jitang leave Guangdong within 24 hours and send troops to attack Guangzhou at the same time. Chen Jitang's second army retreated without fighting, preparing to welcome Yu Hanmou to replace Chen Jitang, and Chen Jitang's army was in chaos!
Bai Chongxi immediately telegraphed Chen Jitang that the situation was critical and advised Chen Jitang to quickly stabilize the morale of the army without hesitation. But Chen Jitang had already given up on everything at this time. He ignored the advice of Bai Chongxi and others, packed his bags and announced that he would step down.
On the 18th, after Chen Jitang made arrangements for transitional government and military affairs, he went to Hong Kong and faded out of politics.
Chen Jitang's most confidant Chen Hanguang was ordered to enter Guizhou by Chen Jitang, and the military expenses were given hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, Chen Hanguang's army was unwilling to enter Guizhou and was incorporated by Yu Han's strategy department. At this point, Chen Jitang's power in Guangdong was uprooted, except for hundreds of thousands of military expenses.
All of them were accepted by Yu Hanmou, except for the Xin Guangxi clan.
Then, Chiang Zhongzheng, who had gained the advantage, launched an attack on the Guangxi clan without hesitation! Gu Zhutong led Xue Yue and other troops to advance from Guizhou, and replaced Chen Jitang as the king of Guangdong Yu Hanmou's troops to advance from Leizhou Peninsula, and Chen Cheng's troops to advance from Xijiang River.
On the other hand, Hunan He Jian’s Hunan Army spyed on Guilin from the Hunan-Guangxi border, and the situation in the new Guangxi clique was critical!
"It's too much! Chen Bonan doesn't have the style of a revolutionary soldier!" In Guilin, Li Zongren's office, the Guizhou boss cursed with a slight face.
"What's the point of running away like this?! Deserter! Just a deserter!!"
Li Zongren was cursing angrily, while Bai Chongxi, who was beside him, did not say a word. It was not until Li Zongren finished scolding that Bai Chongxi said in a deep voice: "Di Lin Gong, now is not the time for us to scold him. We are not allowed to continue scolding, now
The problem is: Jiang Zhongzheng's Nanjing government is coming for us!"
Li Zongren couldn't help but fall into silence when he heard his "Little Zhuge" words. Gu Zhutong, Yu Hanmou, Chen Cheng, He Jian and others were all not easy-to-use! They pressed each step. Fortunately, the brothers under his command were united and did not give Jiang Zhongzheng's certificate.
Lost a loophole!
"For the current plan, we should contact each department, especially the tiger in the three northeastern provinces." Xiao Zhuge looked at Li Zongren and said in a deep voice: "On the other hand, we must also make the worst plan! We should let the people below
All mobilize! Otherwise, once the Central Army attacks, we will definitely be caught off guard!"
Li Zongren no longer scolded. He listened carefully to Bai Chongxi's words and kept nodding. He knew that his deputy was indeed better than him in strategy!
"Finally, it's about the Japanese instructors in our army!" Bai Chongxi took a deep breath and said to Li Zongren: "In this situation, it's better for us to break away from them. Otherwise, we can't really figure it out.
!”
There are a large number of Japanese instructors in the Guangxi clan now! These are specially invited by Bai Chongxi and others from Japan. And they are even more Japanese in fact doing some business.
Li Zongren and the others were not pedantic soldiers. They wanted to use the rules and training methods of the Japanese army to arm their troops. At the same time, they also followed this opportunity and the Japanese bought a batch of arms and a small number of planes.
Although the development is not as good as the three eastern provinces, the supply of basic weapons of the Guangxi clique is also quite good. In 1931, Guangxi has been completely dependent on foreign military equipment supply. Due to foreign exchange shortage and the pressure from the central government on foreign suppliers, and fear of wartime blockade, Guangxi is also afraid of wartime blockade.
The leaders decided to produce weapons and ammunition in the local area and produce the required raw materials.
So far, Guangxi can produce light and heavy machine guns, mortars, rifles, smokeless gunpowder, grenades, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. An aircraft assembly plant has been built and is larger than similar factories belonging to the central government.
Most of the machinery in the arsenal came from Czechoslovakia. After taking over the arsenal in 37 years, officials from the Nanjing Government even said that two of these arsenals were better than those belonging to the central government.
Although Guangxi can produce a large amount of high-quality weapons and ammunition, the output is still not enough to supply the needs of the provincial general plan during the war. Li Pinxianhou said that Guangxi had coal, iron, tungsten and other raw materials needed by heavy industries, but due to the lack of sufficient funds
These resources were not fully developed.
When the Guangxi Expeditionary Forces attacked in Shanghai in 1937, they wore gray cloth uniforms. This was not a glossy army, but a well-equipped and well-trained army. Their biggest weakness was the lack of heavy artillery and tanks.
In terms of the Air Force, the Guangxi Air Force currently has 65 aircraft made by the United States, Britain, and Japan. Li Zongren and others have to contact the Japanese because they really have no talents.
Lin Weicheng, director of the Aviation Department, is just a Guangdong-based person who has learned some civil aviation in the United States.
The rest of the backbone British flight instructors and mechanics: Bai Lang, Mason, Raleigh, Stephen, Stufen...etc.
These people are treated generously and enjoy the privilege of flying to Hong Kong for weekends every week, but their skills are average. So much so that the Guangxi Air Force can't learn anything at all.
This situation did not change until the instructor sent by the Japanese and the situation was taken over. Of course, those who did not teach carefully were naturally fired.
Now the people who teach the Air Force in the Guangxi Clan are: Major Sato, Konishi Soldier, Captain Kato, Eguchi Soldier, Mitani... etc.
In any case, at least compared to the Japanese coaches such as Lin Weicheng and others, they have good basic skills and are more serious in their work. The Guangxi Air Force has learned a lot from them.
However, Lin Weicheng was bribed by the Nanjing Government and took a trainer plane to Nanjing.
Currently, the Guangxi Department has more than 20 two-seater trainers in Yavian, 6 two-seater intermediate trainers in Jilin, 5 two-seater advanced trainers in Averro, 3 two-seater dual-use trainers in Yaraz reconnaissance bombing aircraft, and 3 wobble
There were 4 ground light bombers and 2 Armstrong destroyers.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's cars were made of "wind speed" travel aircraft, and there was only one.
In addition, the Guangxi and Japanese purchased 12 Type 91 fighter jets and 2 Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft. At the same time, they assembled 10 old reconnaissance aircraft during World War I called the "A-4" fighter jets.
Although it is not comparable to the National Defense Forces, it is a local dominance! This is also the confidence that Li Zongren dares to deal with the Nanjing State Government.
"Kansheng... I'm really unwilling to give up!" Li Zongren was silent for a while and said to Bai Chongxi: "We finally bought such things from the Japanese, and it's not a good deal to break it now..."
Bai Chongxi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said to Li Zongren: "Di Lin Gong, this is also a helpless thing. We are already under the banner of anti-Japanese war. If we still can't tell the Japanese, we will criticize Nanjing!"
Li Zongren could only sigh deeply when he heard this.
On the second day, the Guangxi clique immediately mobilized the province's reserve troops to prepare for the battle with the militia system. The established army expanded its troops to 44 regiments, and there were nearly 100,000 local militia groups!
At that time, the total number of troops in the Guangxi clique reached about 200,000, which were gathered on the border to defend. At the same time, in order to win public support, it also announced to expel all Japanese instructors and consultants within the Gui army!
Since the New Guangxi clique is different from the Guangdong clique, the centripetal force of the group with Li and Bai as the core is very stable. Chiang Kai-shek's purchase and differentiation of the New Guangxi clique failed, and there were no military and political figures within the New Guangxi clique who filed with Chiang Kai-shek.
The situation in Guangdong and Guangxi is changing, not only the affected Guangdong and Guangxi are even Long Yun in Yunnan is also nervous! Nanjing's method is ruthless! He has cut off the account of Chen Jitang in one breath!
Even the Guangdong system, which was once huge and the cornerstone of the revolution, fell apart! Although Yu Han’s plan seemed to be the core of the current Guangdong system, it was not justified and the current Guangdong system no longer had a threat.
This is not good news for Long Yun and others. If the Guangxi clique was settled by the Nanjing Government, what would the good ending be like those who were not as good as the Guangxi clique?! It is undoubtedly true that they will be cleaned up!
"Dad! We can't watch this! If Delin Gong and the others were all cleaned up, we can't get anything left!" Long Yun's fourth son, Long Sheng, once said anxiously to his father in the house.
.
The Longyun family has seven children. Except for the youngest daughter Long Guobi, the other six sons are ranked by the character "rope", such as Dragon Rope Wu, Dragon Rope Zu, etc. The Dragon Rope where you talk is once one of the family.
Black sheep.
His brothers were all studying abroad, and the two brothers above studied at the Saint-Sill Military Academy in France. But when they arrived at him, they not only had never been abroad, but were also regarded as "special personality". This special meaning
, it means that he likes to hang out in private gangs and is well-known among the gangs in the southwest.
His elder brother Long Shengwu had a worse evaluation of him, saying that he was "not doing his job properly, had a lot of money, had a lot of interactions with the underworld, and had a disorderly life." Although some other historical materials had mixed praises and criticisms about Long Sheng, the same point was
:He has a great prestige among the Yunnan gangs and is an unusual figure in the family.
"Shou, be impatient!" Long Yun, wearing round-frame glasses, said in a deep voice to his fourth son: "Let me hear what your brothers think first. How can you accomplish great things if you are so impatient?!"
Long Sheng was scolded by his father like this and he stopped talking. Although he was stumbling outside, he was still very obedient to his father at home.
