On December 2, the day before the Bengbu counterinsurgency battle began, Tang Shengzhi, who had already secretly communicated with Wang Jingwei, He Jian, Yan Xishan and others, saw Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi once again dominate Guangxi. After Wang Jingwei divided the Guangdong troops, they
Withdraw out of Wu
Guangzhou no longer attacked the Gui army; Zhang Xueliang was defeated by the Russian army on the Sino-Soviet border and had to give up the interests of the Middle East. He was licking his wounds and had no time to look south. He was silent and ambiguous on the issue of supporting and challenging Chiang; Yan Xishan also
Secretly with Feng Yuxiang again
Reconciliation; Shi Yousan led his troops to fight against Chiang and bombarded Nanjing, which attracted attention at home and abroad. He immediately became the vanguard of the surging anti-Chiang forces across the country and earned enough political capital. Tang Shengzhi assessed the situation and was deeply worried that he would fall behind others and that he would be overthrown.
The shaky Nanjing government followed in the footsteps of others and thus lost its advantage in the future coalition government. Finally, unable to restrain its passion, it contacted the Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui and more than a dozen local warlords who had already formed an alliance, and sent a telegram to oppose Chiang:
Tang Shengzhi angrily accused the Nanjing government of being an illegitimate government and issued a "Letter to the Soldiers of the Nation", supporting Wang Zhaoming and Yan Xishan in reorganizing the new government and praising Chiang Kai-shek's military talents. However, he stated that politics was by no means Chiang Kai-shek's strength. Chiang Kai-shek was deeply influenced by Tan Yankai and Hu Hanmin.
Tired means sorry. Tang
Shengzhi also severely criticized Feng Yuxiang in his "Message to the Nation's Soldiers", accusing Feng Yuxiang of being a despotic devil and the chief culprit of the Great Famine in the Northwest.
Stop fighting and repent.
As soon as the power came out, the whole country was shaken. Chiang Kai-shek and the Nanjing government, who were already fighting against Chiang Kai-shek and the Nanjing government, were already in trouble. They were in panic. Wang Jingwei, who had established a new Central Committee, was in need of help for the village. He saw the former Wuhan National Government.
After ally Tang Shengzhi's anti-Chiang declaration, he was overjoyed. He immediately sent a call to the south to echo it, and officially appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army of the Chinese Kuomintang's Party Protection and National Salvation Army. Three friends who occupied Bengbu and did not know that the disaster was approaching followed.
In response, the whole country was electrified, and he was officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Route Army of the Party Protection and National Salvation Army. Other warlords such as Liu Wenhui, who was far away in Sichuan, were not to be left behind. They came on stage one after another to support Wang Jingwei, support Tang Shengzhi, and Shi Yousan's anti-Chiang Kai-shek campaign.
As a result, the whole of China seemed to have changed beyond recognition overnight, and it was extremely confusing. Seeing that the situation was not good, countless people in the provinces along the Yangtze River Basin began to pack their bags and prepare to flee.
The Bengbu counter-insurgency war suddenly started in this chaotic political situation that was dizzying and dizzying. With the help of He Guoguang, An Yi, who was always working hard, quickly reached an agreement with Liu Xiang of the Sichuan Army and was the first to stand up.
Electrified the whole country: Severely condemned Shi Yousan's bombardment of Nanjing, which resulted in the casualties of hundreds of innocent people, severely exposed Shi Yousan's evil deeds of carrying out a bloody massacre against the logistics officers and soldiers of the three battalions of the Independent Division who rushed to stop it, and vowed to
We will do our best to severely punish the despicable reactionary warlord Shi Yousan who committed war crimes. We declare that one hundred thousand soldiers in western Hubei resolutely support the leadership of the Nanjing central government. We call on all parties to stop all military actions and stop the civil war through negotiation and dialogue so that the government can
Send the 200,000 tons of imported grain, medicine and other disaster relief materials that have arrived or are arriving one after another to the northwest disaster-stricken areas where starvation is everywhere in a timely manner, saving tens of millions of people from dire straits!
An Yi ’s open -minded electricity immediately attracted a lot of attention from Chinese and foreign forces. It has received the support of the vast majority of citizens and all walks of life.
And more than a dozen Sichuan Army generals, Zhang Honglai, 44th Army in the western Hunan, Mao Guangxiang, chairman and commander of the 25th Army of Guizhou Province, Wang Jialie, member of the Guizhou Provincial Commissioner and Deputy Army commander, Shi Zhen, a member of the Guizhou Provincial Commissioner and the commander of the 43rd Army, Hubei
He Guoguang, the deputy director of the Western garrison, the deputy director of Yichang Xingxing Camp, Lu Diping, the acting chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Government and the director of Nanchang Camp, and Yang Bin, commander of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Forces, successively power the whole country and announced the support of the leadership of the central government.
The generals of the Central Army's military divisions, the Huangpu Military Academy Classmate Association, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangan, Anhui, Hubei and Hubei provincial chamber of Commerce also power to support the central government and support Anyi to crusade the repeated impermanence and cruelty, Shi Yousan.
Three hours later, the independent teacher Hu Jialin, the teacher of the teacher Zhang Chengzhu, the head of the Nanchang police teacher Zhan Huanqi, the seventh division of Bengbu defensive group, Huang Yisheng, the nationwide:
The 40,000 soldiers of our coalition forces have completed the surround of Shi You Three Rebels, and the fierce battle is ongoing. The new second brigade of the independent division has captured the West Third position of Bengbu City.
Warlord Shi Yousan immediately put down his weapons and surrendered by himself, otherwise he would be a ruthless blow to the 40,000 thousand righteous division!
As soon as the whole country was out of the country, the forces of all parties and all circles across the country have not yet relieved from the full -time power announcement. No one expected that An Yi's revenge was so fast.
It's about to be surrounded.
The Anyi League camp and the Central Army's various departments were cheering. Feng Yuxiang jumped straight in the Jin Temple in Shanxi. Tang Shengzhi in Zhengzhou put down the third power manuscript in his hand and waited nervously waiting for the follow -up news.
Urgent business countermeasures, Yan Xishan in the Taiyuan Jinsui Army headquarters summoned Major General, checked the map, evaluated the authenticity, Chiang Kai -shek in Nanjing immediately announced: the third division of the third division rushed back to Nanjing, the fifth division crossed the Yangtze River, joined the Yangtze River, joined the Yangtze River, joined
The military crusade of the three parts of the Shiyou.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the Bengbu city of Bengbu, which was filled with smoke, I was too greedy to control the overall situation.
The Central Army, ordered the Fourth Division of Her Majesty to launch a fierce breakthrough to the north. When the fierce battle began, Shi Yousan threw down the three divisions and all the heavy resistance under the cover of the guards and a reserve travel.
The three divisions who fled to the east and lost their commands disappeared. Thousands of defeat soldiers threw down the position and rushed out of the city to escape. This escape was completely destined to destroy the fate of 30,000 rebels.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Anyi, who received the front line of war reports, once again power -on nationwide:
The four coalition industries such as the independent division of loyalty to the central government have achieved a decisive victory. At 3:30 pm, they completely occupied Bengbu, cleared the disabled enemy, killed more than 7,000 rebels, captured more than 14,000 rebel officers and soldiers.
Under the pursuit of the scholars, we put down the weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
Behind the grand power-on, there was far less politeness in words. Under the ruthless blows of the independent division, garrison brigade, and security brigade soldiers, and under the lightning impact of five thousand cavalry, the corpses of the fleeing enemy stretched for more than 20 kilometers, hundreds of them.
The rebel captain officer was shot in the head and chest and his body was found on the roadside. More than 10,000 prisoners who raised their hands to surrender were killed.
Divided into more than a dozen parts, they were forced to dig deep pits at gunpoint by soldiers from the independent division and security forces, collect the scattered corpses, and bury them all. The military uniforms, shoes and hats stripped off from the dead were scattered like hills over more than ten kilometers.
Along the way, Wang Jun's brothers from the Bengbu garrison drove up the remaining three trucks, which took more than ten round trips to load.
In the early morning of the next day, more than 14,000 terrified prisoners were escorted into the south camp of Bengbu City. They drank a bowl of gruel and continued to clean up the ruins inside and outside the city, repairing and cleaning private houses under the coercion of the garrison regiment and two brigade security forces.
City, fill in all the trenches and level the roads in all directions.
The unruly captured rebels finally realized the iron-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Anjia Army. After more than thirty mentally disturbed and hysterical people were shot on the spot, the remaining self-esteem and delusions in the hearts of the officers and soldiers were shattered.
Only tears of despair and absolute obedience.
On the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Chengzhu led his troops to pursue him to the shore of Hongze Lake. He concluded that his friend Sanye had escaped, so he regretfully stopped the pursuit.
After Zhang Chengzhu sent the report to Hu Jialin and An Yi, he took many captured trophies and returned directly to the northwest front line of Xuzhou. After the independent division and the elite agents of each brigade dealt with the corpses of the enemy soldiers along the way, they immediately returned to resume their duties. Although this battle was not able to
captured alive or shot to death
I have three friends who were born as horsemen, but the independent division and other units have achieved their goal of revenge by annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops and capturing tens of thousands of enemies. They have greatly frightened the enemy and inspired the entire army. The "Iron-Blooded Army" once again used iron-blooded
His spirit and strong fighting ability are famous throughout the country.
The far-reaching significance of this battle is far from being as simple as revenge. It is no exaggeration to call it a turning tide in adversity. Officials from various central government ministries and Commander-in-Chief in Nanjing almost simultaneously gave the independent division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and Nanchang
The garrison division received electrification awards. Division commander Hu Jialin, who had just graduated from the special class of the Central Military Academy for more than a month, was awarded an exceptional promotion to Army lieutenant general; Zhang Chengzhu, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, lost the virtual title of major general plus lieutenant general.
He was awarded the title of Lieutenant General of the Army by the Central Military Commission; more than ten generals including Gu Changfeng, deputy commander of the Independent Division, and Zhan Huanqi, commander of the Nanchang Garrison Division, received double special commendations from the central government and the Central Military Commission. The three brigade commanders of the independent division were awarded this award.
The war was promoted to major general, and the participating troops were rewarded from chief officers at all levels to ordinary soldiers. Each division returned to the garrison with honor, and the independent division returned to the Liuhe Camp with a large amount of captured supplies for rest and replenishment.
An Yi, who was angry, calmed down again and held a secret meeting with Shi Zhen, commander of the 43rd Army, Zhang Hongluan, commander of the 44th Army, and more than a dozen chief officers who came secretly.
Because the great warlord Liu Wenhui, who occupied large tracts of land in southeastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan and Xikang, turned against Chiang Kai-shek and joined the camp of Wang Jingwei and Tang Shengzhi, which completely angered the leaders of the central power faction, Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Hanmin, Tan Yankai and others, the central government announced the revocation of
Liu Wenhui was dismissed from all positions including being a member of the Sichuan Provincial Committee. The Central Military Commission sent a message to revoke Liu Wenhui's position as commander of the 24th Army and alternate member of the Military Commission, withdrew the designation of the 24th Army, and called on the officers and men of the Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Hunan armies to crusade against the reactionary warlord Liu Wenhui's department.
After the central announcement was announced, Sichuan Provincial Chairman Liu Xiang and the princes from all walks of life in central Sichuan were all excited. Although the positions and military numbers awarded by the central government did not bring much benefit, they played an important role that should not be underestimated in name and law. Finally, they could
Liu Wenhui's vast territory can be divided up legitimately.
The consequences of Liu Wenhui's misjudgment of the situation and his mistakes immediately emerged. Liu Xiang, who was already estranged from him and only joined forces when they were taking advantage of each other, made no comment on the surface, but secretly stepped up to divide Liu Wenhui's forces.
With the alliance, other ministries also secretly made plans to mobilize troops and generals - the annual tax revenue from the salt wells in southern Sichuan occupied by Liu Wenhui was as high as 900 to 14 million.
Yuanyuan has a monopoly on the supply of salt and sugar in the entire Sichuan and Shaanxi-Gansu provinces. Many powerful men have been secretly eyeing it, eager to replace it as soon as possible. Now that there is a crusade order from the central government, they can justifiably use various means to get their hands on this piece of fat.
If one family is not strong enough to act alone, several groups can join forces and attack it. After taking it, they can sit down and slowly divide it up.
An Yi clearly saw this, so he urgently summoned seven or eight allies, including Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen. What An Yi was interested in was not the huge profits from salt and sugar in southern Sichuan, but the southern and southeastern Sichuan area where mineral resources were abundant.
As well as Xuzhou (Yibin), known as the first port on the Yangtze River, as long as we can capture Xuzhou, we will have a safe and stable rear area, and the rich and stable Yunnan will be right under our noses.
