Fear will lead to better obedience. Although the 74th Army was not divided into the Sichuan and Guangxi cliques, the first batch was sent to the front line. The battle on the front line was raging, and there was bad news just the day before yesterday. In the eyes of some generals, going to the front line at this time is tantamount to committing suicide. In this case, the direct command headquarters seems to have little temptation. Of course, there are also those who are dedicated to resisting Japan and are truly prepared to be shrouded in horse leather. They look at the seven people around them. The eyes of the generals of the Fourteenth Army were filled with envy.
The Seventy-Fourth Army was a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. With this example in front of them, the subsequent deployment of troops did not encounter many obstacles. Of course, neither did the troops who refused to obey on various excuses or had no generals attending the meeting. Sir, after the meeting, Gu Lianyun quickly came up with a list. There are seven divisions and two brigades of these troops, involving nearly 100,000 people. These troops are all stationed in the surrounding areas of Chongqing. Their common characteristics are that, He actually controlled the military and political affairs in these places and had no worries about food and salary. The meeting lasted until nine o'clock in the evening. After the meeting, Ouyang Yun invited the big guys on the podium to have a midnight snack. After the midnight snack, when drinking tea, he would The list was displayed for everyone to look at, and then he said: "It seems that some people are still lucky, thinking that the current enemy's headquarters has no time to pay attention to them. I am worried that I will not have the chance to establish the prestige of the headquarters. This is a doorstep. Here comes the chicken.”
"The Prime Minister decided to kill the chicken to scare the monkey." Deng Xihou asked,
Regarding Ouyang Yun's titles, some call him Prime Minister, some call him Minister, and some even call him Commander-in-Chief. Those who still call him Little Chief are all old men who were in the army when Xuebingjun started. This can be regarded as their welfare,
Chen Cheng put down his tea cup and said: "To get rid of the current crisis, the prestige of the command must be established as soon as possible. It is good to scare the monkeys, but will it affect the frontline war? If the Japanese seize the opportunity and say to surrender these troops, then... "
Ouyang Yunxiao: "Vice Minister Chen is overly worried. Although there are seven divisions and two brigades that refuse to obey the orders of the headquarters, they are nothing to be afraid of in my eyes. The establishment of the coalition government and the headquarters is in response to the nationwide response. The voice of the people is a move that conforms to the trend of history. They do not want to go with the trend and insist on blocking the car with their hands. That is asking for death. Forget it, I will let them see the power of the wolf fang. Pass on my order and tell Ding. First, capture the thief first and capture the king first. I will leave this matter to him. I hope to hear good news within half a month at the latest."
Lang Ya successively annihilated two Japanese regiments in Nanchang. Chen Cheng had heard about this. He was still suspicious at first, but now after hearing what Ouyang Yun said, he knew that this should be true. Lang Ya was a student of Ouyang Yun, the most high-end combat power in the army, actually used the wolf fangs. In fact, it reflected the importance he attached to this matter from one side. Thinking of this, Chen Cheng became more and more sure of his previous decision.
Langya's attack was indeed extraordinary. The deadline given by Ouyang Yun to Ding Yi was half a month, but in just the past two days, Ding Yi had received news that the newly formed 56th Division stationed in Fushun ignored the orders of the headquarters. Two brigade commanders were all captured alive by them, and the chief of staff was instigated by them to rebel. The division surrendered without a fight. Another day passed, and the top commander of another division and one brigade was killed or captured alive by Wolf Fang... The news came out, Chongqing The surrounding troops were all horrified, and military discipline suddenly improved a lot.
Ouyang Yun replaced Chiang Kai-shek as the new leader of China, and the Xuebing Army entered Chongqing to form a command headquarters, which would unify the command of the war in China. This news was spread to Tokyo, and Mitsumasa Yoneuchi disclosed the news at the base camp meeting that day. , there was a brief collective silence in the conference room,
The "Operation Qinling" is certainly worthy of being a great strategy. However, if it promotes Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army to ascend to China's highest military and political stage, this is something the Japanese would never want to see. Before the Xuebing Army entered Chongqing, " Although the offensive troops in the "Qinling Operation" encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army, they still achieved devastating results. Once, Tojo Hideki vowed that they would be able to invade Chongqing by the end of the month at the latest, and by then the Chinese government would be in exile. On that day, he even asked the military staff to make the next battle plan. After capturing Chongqing, he would invade Yunnan, then invade Burma from Yunnan, and then divide into two groups to attack Tibet along the way. All the way to conquer India... The new combat plan has been drafted, and it is waiting for the right time to hold a meeting to discuss and pass it. However, the Xuebing Army burst out of thin air, making all this become a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror. possible,
Tojo Hideki was the first to speak. He slapped the table and shouted: "Ba Ge, what about the Xuebing Army? What about Ouyang Yun? Will the imperial army be afraid of him? Ba Ge, why are they all looking like mourning concubines? Now, no matter it is Whether it is the China battlefield or the Australian battlefield, the imperial army has a comprehensive advantage."
"Ha." Yamamoto Isoroku interrupted him with an unceremonious sneer, and said: "I disagree with Mr. Private's words. It is true that the imperial army has the advantage in the Australian battlefield, but in the China battlefield, even Nanjing was lost. Qinling Is the little achievement achieved in the battle enough to make up for this loss? Who is responsible for the situation in the battlefield in China? Well, if it were not for the incompetence of the army, it would fail every time it learns. I think the incident in China has been resolved by now."
As soon as Yamamoto Isoroku said "private soldier", Tojo Hideki's anger was ignited. He slammed the table again and shouted: "Ba Ge, you will lose every time you learn. The navy is stronger than the army, Akagi, Who lost Kaga, Canglong, and Feilong? When Ouyang Yun formed the Pacific Fleet, who said it was just a super toy of Ouyang Yun? At that time, I asked the navy to solve this serious problem as soon as possible, but how did you do it? What he did was to ignore the orders of the military headquarters and do his own thing. Now it’s fine. The student soldiers can’t lose their tail.”
Yamamoto Isoroku has been promoted to the rank of marshal because of the navy's successive victories in the Pacific. Due to the struggle for dominance of the army and navy, he and Tojo have always been at odds. When the frontline war is going well, the two can restrain each other. They maintain a cooperative relationship, but once the battles on the frontline are repeated, they will attack each other, which will lead to a dispute between the army and the navy.
This scene happened too many times. Others at the meeting were originally willing to mediate, but now they are not surprised. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi frowned, coughed slightly and interrupted Tojo Hideki's words, saying: "You two, Now is not the time to hold people accountable, we should work together and think about how to deal with this new situation."
Since the strategy of giving priority to solving the cadet army failed again and again, the Tokyo base camp actually adopted an ostrich policy when faced with the cadet army problem again. Originating from the creativity of Koizumi Minichiro, they euphemistically called it fighting for development, fighting for time, and being first. Weak and then strong, first easy and then difficult, the China Incident was solved. The success of the Qinling Operation and the Australian battlefield seemed to prove the correctness of this strategy, so the Japanese resolutely followed this route, and now, when After Ouyang Yun became the new supreme leader of China and the Xuebing Army became the de facto "Central Army", when the base camp discussed the China incident, it had to face the Xuebing Army first. However, they could no longer use the ostrich policy to deceive themselves and others.
