"It's not that Mr. Sun doesn't understand this truth. It's just that he, Mr. Jiang, deceived others too much. He arrested our commander-in-chief and sent you to Shandong. Does he really think that our third army is empty?"

Sun Tongxuan said angrily.

"Mr. Sun said carefully, these words should not be said indiscriminately. The committee has reason to think so. For the victory of the War of Resistance and for the sake of thousands of compatriots, at this time, there must be no infighting. Otherwise, it will only be Japan who will be cheap. people."

Liang Xiao tried his best to persuade him that he admired his loyal subordinates. Sun Tongxuan was arrested in Han Fuqu, and afterward, he had such a big reaction, which just showed his rare value. Most people would run away long ago when encountering such a thing, or Thinking about how to be wise and safe, who would want to get Han Fuqu.

"Everyone understands the truth, but I just don't understand. There are so many generals who have lost their cities and lands. It can be seen that whoever was arrested by the state government, why did he come to the commander? He must be put to death."

Sun Tongxuan complained for Han Fuqu.

"It's not that the government wants to put him to death, but that he seeks death himself."

From Liang Xiao's point of view, Han Fuqu's success today is due to his own fault. He knows what the committee hates most, but what he does is purely seeking his own death.

"General Liang, is there any way to save our commander-in-chief?"

Sun Tongxuan asked.

Liang Xiao shook his head slowly: "No one can save Han Fuqu, he has offended too many people these years."

"You are the proud student of the committee. If you say a few good words for Commander-in-Chief Han, maybe he can save his life."

Sun Tongxuan said.

Liang Xiao shook his head slightly: "I'm not related to him, so I wouldn't say that, and even if I pleaded with him, it would change the committee's decision, I advise you to think more about yourself, Han Fuqu is finished, so don't follow me around, otherwise, the only one who gets in is you."

He told Sun Tongxuan so much because Sun Tongxuan was unambiguous in beating little devils, and he could be called a fierce general.

"Even if it takes my life, I will still be able to save the commander-in-chief. After so many years, the commander-in-chief has trusted me as usual, and I must be worthy of his trust."

Sun Tongxuan said.

"That's all for now, think about it carefully."

Seeing that Liang Xiao couldn't convince him, he simply stopped talking and let him think slowly.

Chapter 2 Qilu Military Conference

Third Army Command.

At noon, all the major-general and above officers of the third group who received the notification came to the meeting room, and those who could not make it back after a long journey also sent representatives to attend the meeting.

Nuo Da's meeting room is full of generals, about 20 people.

It is not surprising that there are more than 20 generals in a group army. The commissions have always been promoted to the troops of the miscellaneous army. For example, the brigade commanders of the miscellaneous army uniformly wear the rank of major general. Long unified is the title of lieutenant general.

In addition to the chief officers of these military divisions and brigades, there are also the chiefs of staff of the various armies, the chiefs of political training, military liaison officers, etc..., these people also have the rank of generals.

At this moment, these generals were sitting together muttering and discussing. It stands to reason that the commander-in-chief would take at least four or five days to return when he went to Kaifeng to attend the military meeting. Why is it because Jiang Bocheng, the representative of the chairman and the military liaison officer, was also a member of the meeting. He did not wear a military uniform, but a Chinese tunic suit, which looked particularly eye-catching in the meeting room.

Before the meeting, he had already taken over with several division commanders of the Third Army, expressed his greetings to them, and reminded them vaguely.

"Commander Liang is here."

The guard at the door shouted in a rough voice.

"stand up."

The generals in the conference room stood up one after another, each with their chests raised.

At the door, Liang Xiao was wearing a general's overcoat, with a Zhongzheng sword hanging from his waist, stepped on shiny leather shoes, walked in, walked to the first seat and sat down:

"Everyone, please sit down."

Liang Xiao suppressed his hand and told the generals present to sit down first.

After receiving his signal, the generals of the Third Army sat down:.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very dull, there were more than 20 people, but no one dared to make a sound, all of them raised their ears, waiting for Liang Xiao's next words.

"Everyone, Liang was ordered by the Military and Political Council to fly to Laian overnight, and he has two things to announce to everyone."

"The first thing is that the head of Shandong Province, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Security, and Han Fuqu, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, retreated without authorization, lost the natural danger of the Yellow River, defied military orders, retreated repeatedly, and handed over places such as Jinan and Tai'an to the Japanese. According to the committee's research, Han Fuqu should be dismissed as the head of Shandong Province, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Security, and the commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army, and his rank of second-level general should be removed, and he should be tried by a military court."

"Second thing, as the saying goes, a country cannot...a day without a leader, an army cannot...a day without a leader, after the military committee The study decided to appoint Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the 51st Army, as the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.”

"The Twelfth Army South, which belonged to the former Third Army, is preparing to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou."

"The 55th Division under the 147th Army of the former Third Group Army was placed under the jurisdiction of the 51st Army.

"The 56th Division of the 176th Army of the former Third Army was stationed at Xubeng, Henan."

"The lower brigade of the former Third Army was transferred to Tang Enbo's Army."

"The Independent Sixth Brigade under the former Third Army is under the jurisdiction of the Second Army."

...... The entire Third Army was divided into fragments by a telegram. The remaining 55th and 56th Armies and Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army formed the Third Army. The No.12 Army went south to Xuzhou, which meant Han Fuqu's The team was completely disrupted, and the two armies left in Shandong also withdrew from the Type A army with one army and three divisions to the B army with one army and two divisions.

The meeting room was like a frying pan, the generals were discussing a lot, except...a few people whispered about Han Fuqu, the others were sensible and didn't mention it.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Bocheng coughed twice, and said: "Xiang Fang lost Shandong, and the whole country was full of abuse. The government had no choice but to hand him over to a military court for trial. You are all old people who have followed Xiang Fang for many years. Now The national government has issued an appointment for the Third Army, as soldiers, you must obey the orders of the Military and Political Council, and you must not have any objections."

"What Representative Jiang said is very true. Our 165th Division resolutely obeys the telegram from the Military and Political Council."

"Our 146th Division also obeys the telegram from the Military and Political Council."

"Our independent brigade obeys the telegram from the military and political council."

"......"

After a while, more than half of the generals present expressed their resolute obedience to the order of the military and political council, and half of the generals were hesitating, and some remained silent and watched the development of the situation.

"Our 55th Army resolutely obeys the orders of the Central Committee."

Cao Fulin, commander of the Fifth Army, stood up and said.

Liang Xiao nodded in satisfaction, this Cao Fulin had shown his favor to the government long ago, so he could be regarded as a good man.

Now only the 56th Army Gu Liangmin has not expressed his opinion.

"Commander Gu, what's your opinion?"

"The humble official has no objections, and resolutely obeys the telegrams of the Military and Political Council."

Gu Liangmin Road.

Liang Xiao nodded and said: "Very well, now is a time of national calamity, and as soldiers, you should do your best to fulfill your duties. Regarding... the matter of Han Fuqu, the former commander-in-chief of the Third Army, Mr. Liang expresses deep regret. Don't be ashamed, advance bravely, so that you can live up to Commander-in-Chief Han's expectations of you."

"Remember the Commander-in-Chief's instruction."

All the generals stood up.

Liang Xiao nodded, then looked at Jiang Bocheng, and said: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Liang still has military affairs, and it is inconvenient to stay in Lin'an for a long time, so I will leave now. From now on, the affairs of Shandong will be handed over to Commander-in-Chief Yu and Mr. Jiang. "

"General Liang, what is he in a hurry to do? Since he is in Shandong, he should taste the delicacies of Shandong and appreciate the customs and customs of Qilu. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Bocheng said.

"Mr. Jiang does not know that the battle in Wuhan has been going on for so long, and the Songhu area is quite uneasy. The Japanese army intends to open up water and land transportation between the north and the south to support the battle in Wuhan. The Hangzhou area is already in danger. Liang was ordered to guard the Songhu area. There is really no delay. .”

Liang Xiao wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, Shandong is not a good place, he has no soldiers here, and even his safety cannot be guaranteed.

"General Liang has a heavy responsibility. Since that's the case, Jiang will not keep him. Don't worry, there is no big problem in Shandong. Everything is focused on the war of resistance."

Jiang Bocheng said.

Liang Xiao nodded, turned to Yu Xuezhong and said with a smile: "Commander Yu, the third group army is handed over to you, before leaving, the commissioner repeatedly explained that the third group army is also the coastal defense.

The garrison of the land of Luxi and Luxi must be guarded for the party and the country."

"Please tell the chairman that Yu will do his best."

Yu Xue is loyal.

"If Commander-in-Chief Yu encounters any difficulties, you can call the nearby Central Army, and they will unconditionally help Commander-in-Chief Yu defend the land of Qilu."

Liang Xiao said this to the generals present, who dares to make trouble, the Central Army deployed around the Third Army is not...vegetarian.

When the generals present at the meeting heard this, they all felt like greeting each other. Fortunately, Han Fuqu hadn't been shown the head before, otherwise, it wouldn't matter whether his head could be hung around his neck or not.

Chapter 2 Give a Howitzer Battalion

Liang Xiao left the Third Army General Headquarters and went directly to Lin'an Military Airport. After arriving at the airport, he flew to Kaifeng immediately.

His mission is...to read the telegram from the Military and Political Council, and to frighten those generals of the Third Army...who have evil intentions. Now that the mission has been completed, there is no need for him to stay any longer. Moreover, the situation in Shandong is quite complicated, if he stays for one more day, there will be an unforeseeable danger one day.

So, he left immediately after reading the message. Of course, before he left, he released Sun Tongxuan, commander of the No.12 Army. He believed that Sun Tongxuan was a smart person and knew what to do.

Kaifeng.

The military conference will be held for three days, that is to say, the committee will hold three consecutive military conferences in Kaifeng.

After Liang Xiao got off the plane, he went directly to the Henan Provincial Government.

During the period when the commissioner was in Kaifeng, he temporarily stayed in the compound behind the provincial government. The peripheral security was in charge of Liu Zhi, the head of Henan Province.

Because Wei Zuo persisted in the war of resistance, the Japanese also took many assassination actions against him, such as intercepting him halfway, spying on his whereabouts, plane bombing and so on. Therefore, the safety of Wei Zuo in Kaifeng is extremely important, except ...... Senior generals can see him, and other military and political officials cannot even enter the gate of the provincial government.

Liang Xiao came to the gate of the provincial government and walked in with a big swagger. The guards in the attendant room were responsible for the security inside. Most of these guards knew him and knew that he was the chairman's favorite student. There was no need to wait, and they could go to see the chairman at any time. .

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Mr. Committee is reading the telegram in the bedroom, please."

An attendant and staff officer smiled flatteringly.

"understood."

Liang Xiao nodded lightly, walked into the courtyard behind the provincial government building, and under the guidance of his attendants, came to the door of the chairman's bedroom.

"Report to the principal, the students came back from Lin'an and came to visit the principal."

"Enter."

A hoarse voice came from the bedroom.

Liang Xiao pushed open the door and entered, and saw that the committee member was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, sitting at the desk reading a telegram, with a worried expression on his face.

"Principal, the incident in Shandong is over, and the students rushed back to report to their orders."

The committee member looked up at him a few times, and seeing that he was fine, he was relieved and asked, "What happened to the telegram this morning? Why did Sun Tongxuan send troops to surround your residence? He couldn't rebel if he wanted to."

"Reporting to the principal, what happened this morning, Sun Tongxuan sent troops to surround the student's residence because the news of our arrest of Han Fuqu leaked out. It happened to be Xue'an at this time. He wanted to take this opportunity to find out the real situation of Han Fuqu's arrest. Fortunately, Xuezhong came very timely, and nothing happened, Xiao Dao.

"This Sun Tongxuan...wasted me for so long, so ignorant of flattery."

The committee member said angrily.

"Principal, calm down. The Lin'an incident is over. The generals of the Third Army are also willing to obey the orders of the Military and Political Council. Sun Tongxuan's [-]th Army was transferred to Xuzhou to fight. He has a good relationship with Han Fuqu, but if Han Fuqu dies, he can only concentrate on it." Served the country by killing the enemy on the battlefield."

Liang Xiao said.

"Why, do you appreciate this Sun Tongxuan?"

asked the commissioner.

"I can't talk about admiration, but I think this person is a bit bloody. If he is allowed to fight the Japanese on the battlefield, he will be a fierce general."

Liang Xiao said.

"When Sun Tongxuan was under Han Fuqu's command, he fought many victories. During the Central Plains War, Sun Tongxuan commanded [-] troops and defeated Yan Xishan's Jin army, Fu Zuoyi's Chasui army, and Zhang Hanqing's Northeast army. After a few battles, the momentum is like a rainbow, it is very impressive, it is a pity for this man, he is willing to be driven by Han Fuqu."

The committee said regretfully.

"That's not entirely true. If Han Fuqu dies, he can only serve the party-state."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"For...local warlords, we still need to be more vigilant. These people have repeatedly fought against us for so many years. The enmity between the two sides is not the slightest bit. Even if these people want to use them, we must guard against them."

Appointment Road.

"What the principal said is very true."

Liang Xiao actually didn't think so in his heart, if it wasn't for the committee being too strong and forcing these local warlords to nowhere, who would want to fight back and forth repeatedly.

"This is the end of the Shandong matter. Now that you are back, start preparing for the formation of the 12th Army Group. In addition, considering that the Japanese army has [-] troops in the Songhu-Hangzhou area, the government allows you to continue recruiting new soldiers in the Songhu-Hangzhou area as a strategic plan." The reserve division can provide enough troops for your department."

Appointment Road.

"Thank you principal."

Liang Xiao immediately beamed with joy. This is a great thing. Appointing him to recruit recruits in the Songhu-Hangzhou area is equivalent to giving him an excuse to recruit soldiers. With the young and strong labor force in the Songhu-Hangzhou area, he can recruit both armies. More than enough.
