Chapter 328: The Battle of Qingdao (1)
Qiao Anbang was the last group of people who retreated to the pheasant and the cage. When the aircraft landed and the cabin door opened, Liang Yimang and other special operations soldiers who accompanied him walked out first.
Qiao Anbang finally walked out of the cabin door with heavy steps. When he walked out of the cabin door, he found that the main street at the entrance of the Qiao family courtyard was already crowded.
The eldest brother Qiao Anguo knelt down in grief surrounded by Gao Chu, Qiao Wu and others. Then the officers and soldiers of the special operations camp present and the people of Zhi and Ji who rushed over after hearing the news fell to the ground one after another.
"Dad!" Qiao Anguo let out a heart-wrenching cry, and his handsome face was already full of tears.
All the officers and soldiers and the people present burst into tears, and some even cried with grief. The scene was moving, making those who heard it cry, and those who saw it were so sad. Qiao Siyuan accumulated good deeds throughout his life and helped countless others. He was deeply loved by the people within dozens of miles of radius and Ji. His death made countless elders in his hometown feel sorry for it. Once the news spread, the people in the city who had received the favor of the Qiao family came to greet him one after another.
Looking at the tear-jerking scene in front of him, Qiao Anbang held back the tears that were about to burst out from his eyes and slowly walked towards his own courtyard with his father in his arms.
As soon as he walked to Qiao Anguo and Qiao Wu, Qiao Wu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qiao Siyuan's body, crying heartbrokenly: "Brother! Why do you have the heart to leave your brother and leave first? Qiao Wu has not yet repaid your kindness for saving the people!"
Before he finished speaking, he was crying!
"Uncle Wu!" Looking at his father's old friend and Qiao Wu, the most loyal Qiao Wu of the Qiao family, Yi Zhenhua finally couldn't bear it, and tears burst out in his eyes in an instant. At this time, he really didn't know what words to use to comfort Qiao Wu, who was no less sad than himself.
Qiao Wu suddenly looked up and gritted his teeth and said hatred to Qiao Anbang: "The Third Young Master, the revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable! The master died tragically in Chiang Kai-shek's official residence because Chiang Kai-shek and his lackeys were raised. Qiao Wu begged you to gather troops immediately to attack Chongqing. Qiao Wu is willing to be a soldier in front of the army, with swords and fires. He will personally kill Dai Li, the culprit! To comfort the master's spirit in heaven!"
"Uncle Fifth, if I could, I would have killed Chiang Kai-shek and his minions in Chongqing, avenging my father! But the reason why my father chose to commit suicide was really good intentions and left a last word. All the soldiers of my Qiao family army should put the overall situation of the War of Resistance and eliminate the Japanese invaders first. Restore China and avenge him after he attacked Tokyo in the future!" Qiao Anbang choked up in pain.
After saying that, Qiao Anbang again knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Brother, my father said that my Qiao family man stands tall and does not need tears. Only cowards can only cry. Our next priority is to put my father in peace as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Qiao Anbang walked into his yard with Qiao Siyuan's body without looking back.
Qiao Anguo wiped his tears and got up and walked in.
………………………………
Yan'an;
**Smoking a cigarette means to Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ren and others who were reading the telegram, "Mr. Jiang has shot himself in the foot this time!"
"Old Master Qiao is a loyal and martyrdom, it is so regretful!" Ren Gong said with regret.
"I'm sorry, a loyal and martyr in the Qiao family. He is dedicated to serving the country, but in the end he is destroyed by Chairman Jiang!" Zhou Gong also said with regret.
"This is inevitable. Since the day Qiao Anbang led his army to emerge, today's events have been destined. When Qiao Anbang's troops were so powerful that Mr. Jiang could not check or control it, things like today are inevitable." ** said in a word.
"Chairman, do we need to generate electricity to pay condolences? How can we say that Qiao Siyuan has cultivated three national heroes for the country!" Zhou Gong suggested.
"I think it's OK. The Qiao Anbang brothers are all loyal and brave men. Now they have a grudge against the Kuomintang. Maybe they can consider developing into a member of our party and army!" Ren Gong said with his unique insight.
"The condolence message must be sent. As for the development of the Qiao brothers to join the party, this needs to be carefully considered and will not be implemented for the time being!" ** said thoughtfully.
**There are also deep considerations. First of all, the current strength of the Qiao family army is not inferior to that of the Eighth Route Army. They have complete military industry, logistics and other infrastructure, and military and politics are all determined by the Qiao Anbang brothers. It can be said that they are in their own way. Such potential warlords can only make friends, and it is difficult to take them to their own use.
Duke Zhou was probably the one who knew Mao Weiren the best in the world, so he immediately said: "The Chairman is right. This matter should not be too hasty. It should be dealt with according to the current conditions!"
………………………………
In the next few days, senior generals such as Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi from the Second War Zone sent condolences to express their condolences. What surprised Qiao Anbang was that Zhu Maozhou and other leaders who were far away in Yan'an also jointly sent condolences and condolences.
In addition, the brigade commanders of the Hu Ben Army divisions far away on the Qingdao front also called one after another, demanding that the Hu Ben Army withdraw from the front line, attack Chongqing, and avenge Mr. Qiao.
Of course, Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong are not among them. Fundamentally speaking, they are not the true direct descendants of the Qiao family army. Although they feel extremely regretful about Qiao's father's death and are extremely disgusted with Chairman Jiang's actions, these are not enough to support them in their daring to directly advise Qiao Anbang to attack Chongqing.
As for his indignant subordinates, Qiao Anbang called back one by one to comfort them, so that they could rest assured, and refused their request to return to Chi Heji to attend his father's funeral.
On August 19, 28th year of the Republic of China, after discussion with Qiao Anguo and others, he chose his father Qiao Siyuan to be buried with his mother who had been dead for many years.
On that day, the entire chees and music had been surrounded by the people who rushed over after hearing the news. On the street, countless soldiers of the Qiao family with white cloth tied on their shoulders stood like models on both sides of the road, and behind them were tens of thousands of people who came to see him off.
In the suffocating waiting, Qiao Anbang and Qiao Anguo walked out of the Qiao family compound first, followed by the Qiao family guard platoon led by Qiao Wu, when they walked out carrying Qiao Siyuan's coffin.
Many people burst into tears. Zhou Hao, the battalion commander of the airport garrison battalion who was responsible for commanding and maintaining order on the scene, took the lead in saluting and shouting: "Salute!!!"
The officers and soldiers of the garrison camp present saluted and the sorrow and music was played. The Qiao Anbang brothers walked out of the city with the eyes of tens of thousands of pheasants and soldiers and civilians.
…………………………
Peking, the Japanese North China Front Command.
Including senior general Seishiro Itagaki, the entire North China Front Army headquarters can be said to be full of generals, but all the Japanese generals attending the meeting no longer had the same glory and smiles as before.
Everyone has a serious face and a lot of worries.
"Chief Commander!" As a loud voice of an attendant, Seishiro Itagaki and other senior Japanese generals stood up one after another.
Under the eyes of everyone, General Sugiyama Moto, the new commander of the North Chinese Front of the Japanese Army, and Major General Yamashita Tomoto, who had just replaced the former Chief of Staff of the Front, Naosaburo Okabe, walked into the conference room one by one.
The two of them went to the top of the long conference table one after another, and at the same time saluted Hishiro Itagaki and others and signaled everyone to sit down, and then sit down accordingly.
After sitting down, Sugiyama Moto took a telegram from Yamashita Bongmoto and held it in his hand and said, "Everyone, there is now a news that is very beneficial to the Imperial Army. Maybe everyone has learned something in advance. But I still want to inform you personally, that is, the Hu Ben Army, the most powerful and dangerous enemy of the Great Japanese Imperial Army in China, has officially broken with the National Government headed by Chiang, and a war is likely to break out!"
Before Sugiyama was finished speaking, Lieutenant General Seijiro Itagaki, the commander of the Fifth Division headed by Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, said: "Commander, according to the information from the front line, the Chinese Tiger Army showed no sign of withdrawal. The main force of the Central Army led by Chiang is still fighting bloody battles with the Central China Front Army in the vast combat area south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Huyi felt that the possibility of the Tiger Army going to war with Chiang was extremely small! Even, even zero."
Sugiyama Moto changed his color and looked at Itagaki Seishiro and said, "I don't know, you don't know. Chinese people often say that the hatred of killing their father and the hatred of taking their wife is irreconcilable. Now Chiang has forced Qiao Anbang's father to death. The root of hatred has been laid between them, not to mention that Chiang is already trying to weaken and suppress Qiao's Huben army. Qiao Anbang cannot be unaware of this."
"What the General said is not without reason, but Hu Zhi believes that the Chinese people always believe that the Imperial Army and they are national hatred, while Chiang and Qiao Anbang are just family hatred. Before national hatred, they will definitely abandon their personal grudges and continue to join forces to deal with the Imperial Army." Seishiro Itagaki insisted on his own opinion.
"General Itagaki is right, so the commander summoned all the generals to gather together this time to discuss how to upgrade the personal grudges between Jiang Qiao to national hatred and family hatred. Once they kill each other and fight each other, it will definitely be very beneficial to the current imperial army!" Yamashita Tomoto said quickly.
Seishiro Itagaki wanted to say something else, but was secretly stopped by Yamashita Fengfu. In fact, Seishiro Itagaki knew very well that with Qiao Anbang's shrewdness, he would never be fooled, because he was jealous and rejected the Imperial Army in his bones and wanted him to completely turn against the Chongqing government unless the Imperial Army all withdraws from China and returns to Japan, which is also impossible.
"Yeah!" Sugiyama nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Chief of Staff at Yamashita is right. Now the Chinese army is becoming stronger and stronger, and the imperial army has suffered consecutive losses on the front battlefield, especially in the northern battlefield. The imperial army has successively lost Shandong and most of Shanxi. Now the Jiaodong Peninsula is in a precarious situation. The base camp has issued strict orders. This time, we must defend the Jiaodong Peninsula no matter what, and retain a coastal base for the Imperial Army to counterattack in the future."
"Therefore, in order to strengthen Qingdao's garrison, the third, fifth and first fleets of the Navy have all gathered in Qingdao. If Jiang Qiao fails to start the war, the imperial army must ensure the victory of the battle in Qingdao!"
