In the early morning, the 29th Army Headquarters, Song Zheyuan, Tong Linge, and Qin Dechun sat together in Nanyuan, Peking, with unprecedented solemn expressions on their faces.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, Matsui Kyutaro immediately targeted the 29th Army. Although the opponent's conspiracy did not succeed due to the clever response of his staff officer Li Gan, judging from the current situation, no matter whether the Japanese army and the Xuebing Army took over No matter how far the fight will go, the 29th Army will not be able to avoid being implicated. After all, the area around Peking still belongs to the 29th Army. After all, the 29th Army is still a part of the national army.
The contradiction between the Japanese army and the Xuebing army was irreconcilable in Song Zheyuan's view. The Japanese had been waiting for each other since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and their plans were definitely not limited to the three northeastern provinces. This was also the case for him, Tong Linge and others. You can always see it, and it is precisely because of this that he will take great pains to develop armaments and expand his strength. If it were not for the emergence of Ouyang Yun, the current 29th Army should be the most powerful existence in North China. The Northwest Army has never been There has always been a lack of generals in military command, and there is no shortage of perfect military guiding ideology. It is just that due to fate and specific historical reasons, it has been restricted economically and geographically, so it has not been able to thrive. And in 29 The military army had the territory they had dreamed of, and when it began to develop vigorously, Ouyang Yun appeared, and then the Xuebing Army appeared. Sometimes, when Song Zheyuan was alone in his reverie, he would feel a little inexplicable indignation. Ouyang Yun's His appearance was sudden. He didn't pay much attention to this person originally, but who knew that in just one year, he and his student army would be able to develop to the size they are today.
The relationship between Song Zheyuan and Ouyang Yun was good from the beginning. At that time, as a superior, Song Zheyuan also loved Ouyang Yun and helped him solve many problems. However, the subsequent development of the situation was beyond his expectation. , also lost control. Although, in the process of the growth of the Xuebing Army, both the 29th Army and Song Zheyuan received a lot of benefits, but now, this benefit is no longer enough to cover up the fact that the Xuebing Army is too powerful. The sense of loss brought about by this, and thinking from another perspective, this student army should have belonged to the 29th Army, to Song Zheyuan, not to mention the 59th Army that was just formed.
No matter what Song Zheyuan's opinions were about Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army, there was one thing he had to admire: the Xuebing Army and Ouyang Yun's determination to resist Japan. Because of this, he believed that the Japanese would sooner or later join the Xuebing Army. Bingjun has a big playground,
Song Zheyuan knew very well that once the Japanese army and the Xuebing Army started fighting, the 29th Army would eventually side with the Xuebing Army. Of course, the timing of this "station" was worth considering. If the time was chosen right, then the 29th Army would It is very possible to repeat the glory of the march into Pingjin, but if the timing is wrong, it is possible not only to not be able to eat the mutton, but also to get into trouble. Because of this plan, the staff officer Li Gan responded to Matsui's question. He did not agree with it, and in order to make up for it afterwards, he not only allowed the Japanese army to easily occupy Fengtai, but also asked Qin Dechun to visit Jin Bihui and made a gesture of goodwill. I don't know if he went overboard with his goodwill. Therefore, this Jin Bihui unexpectedly became a bad guest and did such things,
After an adjutant brought tea to the three of them, Qin Dechun looked at Song Zheyuan and asked, "Military Commander, is this true?"
The "thing" refers to the incident where "Thirteenth Master" Huang Zhenhai led his men to kidnap the reconnaissance personnel of the Xuebing Army. Song Zheyuan just got up this morning. Zhang Lin, the top officer of the Gaobeidian garrison and the leader of a certain regiment, took two The parties involved, Wang Lu and Zhang Xiaosi, rushed over to report the situation. Thanks to Wang Lu and Zhang Xiaosi's carefulness, after Huang Zhenhai took Wang Fei away, the two of them used flashlights at the place where the conflict occurred. After searching, I found a meal ticket for the Xuebing Army. This meal ticket was specially left by Wang Fei to warn his comrades behind him. One of the meal tickets was thrown away by Wang Lu and others. They did not dare to neglect it at that time and immediately expelled it. The report was made level by level and passed to Zhang Lin. Being familiar with the subtle relationship between the Xuebing Army and the 29th Army, he did not dare to neglect, so he came directly by truck.
Since the 29th Army was assigned a lot of territory and establishments, in order to maintain the airs of military-level establishments and to maintain a certain deterrent effect against Japan and even the student army, many miscellaneous troops were recruited and organized in Peiping. Huang Zhenhai and his men are one of them. Of course, Huang Zhenhai's ability to become the brigade commander of the security force has something to do with his connections, wealth, and means.
Song Zheyuan nodded slowly and said: "According to what the soldier Wang Lu said, the Xuebing Army sent reconnaissance personnel over later. However, they did not see the two people from before. There was no movement after they returned. I think they Therefore, the reconnaissance personnel were sent in the direction of Gaobeidian. It seems that they want the regiment that originally went straight to Wanping to be transferred to Fengtai. Logically speaking, they are walking within the jurisdiction of our army and should follow the route we have drawn. However, The military situation is unpredictable, so it is understandable that they made such an adjustment. Of course, we could have used this to negotiate with them, but we didn't expect that Huang Zhenhai was so messy. No matter what, the Xuebing Army was trying to protect The family defends the country, and Huang Zhenhai's personal behavior, in the eyes of outsiders, must be thought to be the intention of our 29th Army. Now, we are completely passive."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When he heard the words "personal behavior," Tong Linge, who had always had a solemn expression, raised his eyebrows and said: "This matter is not difficult to handle. As long as it is confirmed that this is indeed Huang Zhenhai's personal behavior, I will I don't think Ouyang Yun will get to the bottom of it. He is a smart man and should know that on the North China issue, his mere student army alone will never be able to withstand the Kwantung Army's all-out attack. What I am more worried about now is, what exactly will happen? Who signaled Huang Zhenhai to do this, what did he want to do, and where are the two captured Xuebing Army soldiers, and are they still alive?"
Tong Linge's words hit the crux of the matter at once. After saying this, he looked up at Song Zheyuan with an inquiring look. Tong and Qin, including Song, actually knew who was behind Huang Zhenhai. Of course, why did Song Zheyuan He has never pointed out this issue. It seems that he has deeper considerations. However, in Tong Linge's view, under the current situation, Song should no longer have such considerations. Since the Japanese caused this incident, it is obviously impossible Just to expel the Xuebing Army, the real purpose behind it is to occupy North China. And that Jin Bihui, no matter what promises and performances she made, one thing is unquestionable. As a dog of the Japanese, what she did Everything he did was actually to serve the Japanese. In Tong Linge's view, Song still had illusions about this shameless woman at this time and tried to profit from this incident.
