Throughout late May, almost all newspapers in China published two aspects of news. One was the ongoing Sino-Japanese armistice agreement negotiations, and the other was the southern Sichuan area, which was changing with each passing day and seemed like a paradise on earth.
The news of Anjiajun's disarmament of 120,000 people shocked China and foreign countries. More than a hundred Chinese and foreign journalists and representatives from all walks of life witnessed Anjiajun's two disarmament situations. The European and American military circles were extremely concerned about this, and they could not understand why Anjiajun was in the Chinese and Japanese armies.
Large-scale disarmament while still in a state of war. Domestic political parties have also carried out analysis. Optimists predict that the war will stop and peace will return again; pessimists believe that this is due to another anti-Japanese struggle. Heroes are always born with tragedy.
.
On the 20th, the news of the reduction of more than 42,000 officers and soldiers in the garrison was still hotly debated across the country; on the 25th, Chinese and foreign reporters and representatives from all walks of life across the country once again experienced the Anjia Army's reduction of 50,000 engineering troops and
The feat of the local garrison was immediately related to the Anjia Army and the construction of southern Sichuan
Many reports on the achievements were overwhelming and aroused. The famous military general An Yi and his army once again became the focus of reports from the Chinese and foreign press. The political circles explored the great achievements and development paths of southern Sichuan, as well as various issues related to military construction.
The big discussion was in full swing.
On the morning of May 24, the Japanese troops on the front line of the Great Wall suddenly sent dozens of planes to bomb Tong County, the gateway to Peiping, causing raging fires inside and outside Tong County, causing heavy losses in life and property of soldiers and civilians.
Chiang Kai-shek delivered a stern public speech at two o'clock in the afternoon, strongly condemning the atrocities of the Japanese army, and urgently telegraphed Huang Yong, He Yingqin, and Huang Shaohong, who were in charge of North China's military and political power and negotiations: The Japanese are cunning and hope to take this opportunity to reorganize the military.
Be prepared for the final sacrifice. You must also send a secret signal to Huang Qi. You should be determined to defend the city, stand still, and try to turn around. Don't leave the peace until the last moment.
An hour after Chiang Kai-shek delivered his speech, An Yi, who was "recuperating from illness" at home in southern Sichuan, once again wore a neat general uniform and met with Lieutenant General Yang Bin, commander of the southern Sichuan garrison force, Lieutenant General Ye Cheng, deputy commander of the 24th Army, and guard
Together with Major General Huang Xunyi, commander of the aviation command affiliated to the command, a press conference was held.
Yang Bin, in his capacity as commander of the garrison and acting director of the Appeasement Office, announced that the southern Sichuan government would provide free cash subsidies of 3 million yuan to the armies on the North China front within three days to reward and provide pensions to the troops and troops who had meritorious service in the war against Japan.
Its officers and men; Ye Cheng called on the officers and men of the 24th Army divisions on the North China front to fight for
Move forward bravely, kill the enemy with all your strength, defend the national interests and national dignity with blood and life, and declare in a high-profile manner that if war requires it, the 13,000 soldiers of the 24th Army who are fully prepared will rush north without hesitation.
, use all possible means to deal the fiercest blow to the Japanese invaders.
Major General Huang Xunyi finally announced a surprising news: the 12th Air Force Group, which had made great achievements in the half-year-long Sino-Japanese War, has been replenished. More than 500 soldiers of this meritorious unit will be on the 24th.
Within hours, he flew three 42-price fighters with the latest equipment to the front line of North China, and fought against the Japanese army under the command of the Central Corps Headquarters. He would not hesitate to fight to the last plane or soldier.
.
An Yi, who was sitting quietly on the rostrum, did not make any speech. There was no emotion or joy on his calm and calm face. The press conference also included Huang Xunyi's announcement that "Chinese and foreign journalists who have obtained interview credentials issued by the Office of Appeasement are allowed."
, before this afternoon
"We went to Minjiang Airport to interview the officers and soldiers of the 12th Aviation Group on the spot, and visited all the fighter planes and weapons and equipment ready for deployment." The reporters, regretting that they could not interview General An Yi, rushed to the Minjiang Airport in large military buses.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, General Zhang Hongluan, deputy governor of Hunan Province and member of the Provincial Party Committee, director of the Xiangxi Appeasement Office, sent a telegram to the whole country: ordering the two divisions on the North China front line led by General Zhang Cunzhuang, commander of the 44th Army, to devote all their efforts to high-level preparations to attack the Japanese invaders.
; Ordered the 11th Aviation Group affiliated to the Xiangxi Garrison Command to make all preparations for departure within 24 hours and fly to the North China front line at any time to launch the most violent revenge against the Japanese invaders.
Almost at the same time, the Governor of Yunnan Province Zhu Peide and the Lieutenant General Commander of the Yunnan Provincial Security Command Zhan Huanqi jointly sent a message to the whole country: All officers and soldiers of the 38th Army and two divisions of the Yunnan Security Forces, a total of 60,000 soldiers, are also ready to go to the front line in North China.
All preparations were made, and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army immediately rushed northward after an order from the central government.
At 6 p.m., Shi Zhen, director of the Qianxi Appeasement Office, Lieutenant General Commander of the Qianxi Security Command, and 24 generals under his command jointly sent a telegram to the whole country, expressing that the army and people of western Guizhou supported the anti-Japanese propositions of the central government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and obeyed the central government
Leaders safeguard national unity. Once called by the country, 50,000 athletes from western Guizhou will immediately go north to join the war to expel the Japanese aggressors and protect their country.
The clear-cut anti-Japanese stance of the Anjia Army and its allies, as well as their rapid high-profile response and powerful strength, once again triggered a nationwide anti-war craze and triggered a huge response from all armed forces across the country.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was presiding over the encirclement and suppression meeting in Lushan, received the report with mixed feelings. Fortunately, An Yi did not stand by with resentment due to the estrangement and contradiction between teachers and students. Instead, he united the armed forces of various departments in the southwest with practical actions at an astonishing speed.
, giving him, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the strongest military support and the most timely call from the army.
What should be worrying is that the fledgling An Yi and his allies once again used this opportunity to unite to form the largest military strength in China and occupy the most stable and wealthy territory in the country. This powerful military force
, gradually formed a powerful coalition of *** forces. If it gets out of control, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Before Chiang Kai-shek, who was tossing and turning, could respond, the high-profile announcement from Anyi Group and its allies triggered a series of chain reactions:
At nine o'clock in the morning on the 25th, Jiang Guangding and Cai Tingkai, who were in Fujian Province, sent a telegram to the whole country, saying that the 30,000 soldiers of the 19th Route Army's northward anti-Japanese vanguard were ready to go, and were only waiting for an order from the central government to go north at full speed to expel the Japanese invaders.
The wily Shanxi King Yan Xishan then issued a telegram, encouraging his generals Shang Zhen and Fu Zuoyi to lead the men of the Three Jin Dynasties to "fight the Japanese aggressors with a hundred times more strength and confidence to defend their homes and the country". The reason was that after the Communist Party failed to achieve its sinister purpose in the negotiations,
Kwantung Army Staff Officer
Changxiaoji Guozhao openly threatened Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, claiming that the anti-Japanese army would not only occupy the Zhangbei area, but also Datong and northern Shanxi, and would attack all armed forces that "dare to challenge the majesty of the anti-Japanese army"
Carry out a merciless attack.
At 11 o'clock in the morning on the 25th, the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Army, Chen Jitang, the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Army, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi, together with more than 30 generals under their command, sent a telegram to the whole country, stating that the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi were ready to go north to fight against Japan, and would respond to the call of the Communist Party of China to go north to fight against Japan at any time.
.Feng Yu announced his appointment as "Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Allied Forces" with high profile
Xiang, after applauding the anti-Japanese stance of the armed forces across the country and expressing the determination of "the Allied Anti-Japanese Army to fight to the bitter end without fear of violent Japanese violence," he once again criticized the "cowardice and compromise" of the Nanjing government and the nominal commander-in-chief of the Communist Party of China, Chiang Kai-shek.
, and "the crime of starting a civil war for one's own selfish interests and excluding dissidents."
At noon on the 25th, Hu Hanmin and Li Jishen, the reclusive party veterans in Hong Kong, held a press conference. They severely criticized the cowardice and compromise policy of the Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei governments towards Japan, and highly praised the An Jiajun, Hunan Army, Yunnan Army, Guizhou Army, and Guangdong Army.
, the uncompromising anti-Japanese stance of the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Army called on the far-sighted people in the party to unite to fight the national crisis.
Faced with unexpected chain reactions, An Yi was once again deeply shocked by the huge power of "morality and righteousness". He never expected that once his meticulous plan to seize the lead was implemented, it would not only be An Yi but also the entire group who would benefit.
, the heroes from all walks of life have a keen sense of smell and the ability to seize opportunities.
Strong, far beyond the imagination of An Yi and his brothers, he could not help but admire the lofty foresight and precise vision of the newly joined "strategist" Jiang Yunshan. Except for Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, who had not yet made the reaction predicted by Jiang Yunshan, all the people in the country
The forces' quick response was almost identical to what Jiang Xianyun said.
Especially the Hu Hanmin and Li Jishen mentioned by Jiang Xianyun. Previously, An Yi and the brothers believed that with their calm personalities, rich experience and current situation, the two veterans would not be able to react very well to the sudden changes in the national situation.
quick.
Jiang Xianyun said confidently: This time is different, because the overt and covert fighting among various factions in the party in the past two years has entered a white-hot stage ahead of schedule with the return of Wang Jingwei. On the surface, it seems that the various factions have formed a compromise political situation, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
, ***The various factions have been preparing for the danger for a long time, and they have reached the point where they are ready to use their daggers.
During the critical period of meeting, all that is missing is an opportunity. Otherwise, this secret offensive we have launched to achieve stable results will break the balance between various complex relationships that are already shaky in one fell swoop, and even gradually fall into
The passive Red Army will probably not give up this precious opportunity.
At noon on May 26, 76 brand-new fighter planes from the 11th and 12th Aviation Groups affiliated to the Southern Sichuan Government and the Western Hunan Government gathered at Nanchang Airport. Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers of the Central Aviation Force, thousands of people and reporters were stunned.
Under his watchful eyes, he refueled and supplemented in an orderly manner.
More than a thousand officers from a garrison of the Anjia Army who were staying at the airport set up a cordon. Major General Lao Shoudao, who is still a senior military counselor, rarely put on a straight military uniform. Together with Jiangxi Governor Xiong Shihui and other military and political dignitaries, they paid tribute to the officers of the two aviation brigades.
I extend my cordial condolences and sincere encouragement.
Xiong Shihui and others saw the respect and love from the bottom of their hearts for Lao Shoudao from the two tough aviation brigade soldiers, and saw rows of new aircraft equipped with large-caliber aviation machine guns of models that they could not even name, and
The famous Junkers three-engine large transport planes were lined up neatly and flashed with silver light, and everyone was amazed by the strong strength of the Anjia Army and the Xiangxi Army. Looking across the country, which powerful force has such a powerful aviation force?
An hour later, seventy-six fighter planes flew into the sky in batches amidst the extremely excited cheers of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. Many Chinese and foreign reporters finally confirmed the authenticity of the heroic words of An Jiajun and the Xiangxi Army. One by one, they rushed to the city to report to the headquarters.
After reporting, the satisfied Lao Shoudao, with a faint smile, returned to Nanchang in the same car as the polite Xiong Shihui.
