Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 168: Famous scenes from the Kaifeng Conference, Chiang Kai-shek's "face"! (Subscribe)

Kaifeng Railway Station.

Chu Yunfei and others stepped off the train.

Saw someone coming to pick me up.

He simply walked over with the guards around him.

Kaifeng is not Changzhi.

As the most important military town in Henan.

This place has actually been infiltrated by the Japanese army and turned into a sieve.

Even when Chu Yunfei got off the train, the station had to be cleared to ensure safety.

As for Zhu Shouguang, Deng Jinkang and others, needless to say.

"Commander Chu, please..."

"Mr. Zhu, please."

Chu Yunfei got into the traveling car accompanied by Zhu Peiji.

The comfort level of trains during the Republic of China period was almost negligible.

Fortunately, Chu Yunfei’s travel standards and treatment were quite good.

The purpose of this meeting was essentially to rectify military discipline and kill Han Fuju, who was afraid of fighting.

Han Fuju has the same problem as Yan Laoxi.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and even after the July 7 Incident.

He chose to make peace with the Japanese at the first opportunity in order to sell out his country and protect his province, and continue to serve as the chairman of SD Province.

His old boss Feng Yuxiang personally asked Han Fuju to send troops north to reinforce.

However, Han Fuju refused to carry out the order and was unwilling to mobilize his troops, thus missing the opportunity.

Before this.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.

Chiang Kai-shek was very worried that Han Fuju would waver.

Once he gets into trouble, the situation in Peking will happen in Shandong.

By then, the entire North China region will be open.

But if he resolutely resists Japan, he may even have an impact on Song Zheyuan's troops.

Chiang Kai-shek wanted to win over Han Fuju.

This prevented Han Fuju from directly side with the Japanese.

Even paid millions of silver dollars.

The position of Deputy Theater Commander-in-Chief and Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army.

And promised that his position as SD provincial chairman would remain unchanged.

and then.

Chiang Kai-shek received the relevant information.

This old guy is secretly negotiating with the Japanese army again.

Before the Japanese army launched a full-scale war.

If you do these things, Chiang Kai-shek will at most scold you a few words, thinking that you want to bring back more.

Earn more profits through pressure from the Japanese.

From Han Fuju's perspective.

This really isn't a big problem.

After all, it is essentially just an old warlord.

Also, it is worth mentioning.

There is no substantial evidence to prove that Han Fuju had defected.

The Japanese were refused entry into Shandong under any pretext, whether to garrison troops or to pass through Shandong.

None of them worked, but he accepted all the benefits from the Japanese.

Blow up the Yellow River Bridge.

Until Han Fuju was killed.

All Han Fuju was concerned about was the three-acre piece of land at hand, and he also imitated Zhang Zuolin, the King of the Northeast.

What he wanted to be was the King of Shandong, a local emperor.

In this era of warlords everywhere.

Han Fuju also has his own integrity. He is not a completely black person.

Han Fuju refused to drink the blood of his soldiers.

No property.

The only two properties under his name.

One of them was given by Zhang Xiaoliuzi.

After Shandong suffered from the Yellow River flooding.

He even organized the victims to block the road and stop the relief train from Nanjing.

They demanded that Nanjing must allocate disaster relief funds, and organized to send 300,000 disaster-stricken people in western Shandong to non-disaster-stricken areas in various counties.

He asked all counties and towns to raise the children on his behalf, saying that they were his, Han Fuju's guests.

It has also made significant contributions to clarifying the administration of officials, combating bandits and prohibiting drugs, and developing education.

Han Fuju also knew that even at this moment the people of the whole country were united in the war of resistance.

Chiang Kai-shek also had a plan to sacrifice him first.

So he chose to survive in the cracks.

Do not allow the Japanese to enter Shandong, and do not allow the Central Army to enter Shandong.

Before Han Fuju lost Jinan.

Li Zongren also went to Jinan and had a long conversation with him all night.

There are actually three core points: 1. The war of resistance is a long one; 2. The war of resistance has a future; 3. Don’t be a traitor, a running dog, or a traitor to your country!
Han Fuju listened to the first one.

And he had disagreements and disputes with Li Zongren.

He believed that since the war of resistance was a long-term one, his troops should not be consumed in a short period of time.

Preserving strength is the first priority!

Li Zongren naturally parted ways with him on bad terms.

His men after the meeting.

Also advised.

The Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army have all arrived in Xuzhou, and the central government will replenish any losses.

We are in Shandong, how can we sit still?
Han Fuju's answer was exactly what he had thought in his heart, which was to join the war in the end.

The Japanese army obviously played a trick on Han Fuju.

However, Han Fuju is just like Yan Laoxi after the battle of northern Shanxi.

At this time, we also realized the Japanese's evil ambitions.

It is impossible to negotiate the same way as before.

"Pardon" the SD province under his rule.

The flames of the Jinpu war spread and burned to both sides of the Yellow River.

But the choice made by Yan Laoxi is different.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army rose up in resistance, fought to defend their homeland.

The first thing Han Fuju did was to withdraw his troops and transfer his property to Henan.

After Li Zongren learned about this, he repeatedly asked him to stay where he was.

Follow the Military Commission’s orders that each war zone has the responsibility to defend its own territory and is not allowed to enter other war zones!

Han Fuju replied: Now that we are in an all-out war of resistance, what is the difference between us?
Even so.

Han Fuju, who commanded four armies, was still the target of Chiang Kai-shek's efforts.

As of this point in time.

Chiang Kai-shek decided to endure it a little longer and ordered him to defend Jinan to the death.

When the telegram was sent, Han Fuju had already fled to Tai'an.

Li Zongren and Chang Kaishen sent another telegram to Han Fuju.

Han Fuju didn't pretend to be dead either.

He called Li Zongren directly and said, "If Chang Kai-shen couldn't even defend Nanjing, what reason do you have for me to defend Tai'an?"

At this time, Han Fuju firmly believed.

As long as you have money and guns, you can become a king anywhere.

There is no need to pay attention to Chang Kai-shen's request.

And he believed that he had these four armies in his hands.

Chiang Kai-shek was not very fond of him.

After all, he is not a small warlord!

But from Chiang Kai-shek's perspective, this is no different from being a traitor and a traitor to the country.

What's more, he was well aware of the predicament and even dissolution of the Sixth War Zone.

In addition, Han Fuju's secret telegram during the Xi'an Incident was intercepted and deciphered.

Chiang Kai-shek became even more resentful of this guy.

The four armies retreated without a fight, and the Japanese army easily occupied Jinan.

Before retreating, they even took away all the 15,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver from the Minsheng Bank and its vault in Jinan.
After discovering that the Japanese army had the intention to continue attacking Tai'an.

Han Fuju ran away again!

The natural barrier of the Yellow River cannot be defended and the geographical advantage of Tai'an cannot be used.

The Military Commission strictly ordered him to defend Jining and the Grand Canal.

Li Zongren's telegram even took on a pleading tone.

I hope he stops to fight.

The results of it!
Han Fuju replied: "If you cannot defend Jining, it will be the same as if you cannot defend Jinan."

Li Zongren was furious and immediately accused Han Fuju of having no intention of defending Jinan at all!
Han Fuju even shamelessly explained his decision to give up Jinan.

He believed that the Japanese army that crossed the Yellow River had no more than a thousand troops, and that he fled all the way to Juye and Cao County for a strategic counterattack!

January 11th.

The Japanese army occupied Jining City and approached Xuzhou.

In just twenty days, Han Fuju retreated hundreds of miles.

The Yellow River, Jinan, Tai'an and Qufu were easily lost.

Even the canal defense line north of Xuzhou.

Shandong was originally expected to hold out for two months.

The Japanese army occupied most of Shandong with only one and a half divisions of troops.

Han Fuju's behavior.

As a result, the entire Fifth War Zone's advance deployment was disrupted.

Chiang Kai-shek had already decided to kill.

The combat meeting held by the Fifth War Zone had already instructed Dai Li to arrest him.

But Han Fuju also knew that he could easily get into trouble, so he simply instructed SD Provincial Education Department Director He Siyuan to attend the meeting on his behalf, and thus escaped disaster.

But this Kaifeng meeting is not so easy.

Under the careful arrangement of Dai Li and others.

A meeting of senior military officers from the First and Fifth War Zones is being prepared in full swing.

The meeting was held in the Yuanjia Garden Auditorium in Nanguan, Kaifeng.

Under the personal arrangement of Zhu Peiji.

Chu Yunfei lived in a large courtyard in the alley.

The guard platoons around him were also arranged together.

Just packed up and walked out of the room
He ran into Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, who came to visit him.

Compared with the generals of the Lu Army and some generals of the Northwest Army who were under house arrest.

The Sichuan Army generals were able to act freely and had performed well before, and had no connection with Han Fuju.

The two saluted and greeted each other.

Wang Mingzhang smiled and started chatting with him.

When talking about the previous battles in Yangquan and Shouyang, Wang Mingzhang was also very excited, especially this time the Sichuan Army was ordered to fight in Shanxi.

Yan Laoxi did a very good job in all aspects. He not only took the initiative to provide travel expenses, but also allocated guns, ammunition and grenades.

A banquet was also held to see off a group of Sichuan Army generals.

Including Deng Jinkang, Sun Zhen, Wang Mingzhang and others were deeply moved.

They received due respect here in Yan Laoxi, in Shanxi, and in the combat system of the Second War Zone.

Isn't this the reason why we went out of Sichuan to fight the war?
Chu Yunfei knew what Wang Mingzhang cared about, and after a few words, the two sides became very pleasant talking.

After chatting for a while, Chu Yunfei saw that Wang Mingzhang had only three or two guards, and wondered, "Commander Wang came to the meeting this time with only a few people around him. Why doesn't he take advantage of this combat meeting to spend more time with the generals of the Fifth War Zone?"

Wang Mingzhang shook his head, smiling, and pointedly said, "General Deng will mobilize the generals of the Fifth War Zone. Besides, Kaifeng is an important city with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there. If there is any accident, what's the harm in bringing a pistol battalion?"

Seeing Chu Yunfei frowning in deep thought, Wang Mingzhang glanced at everyone and then reminded in a low voice: "Brother, I think the city is not peaceful. Chief of Staff Chu is better not to go out."

It is clear.

Wang Mingzhang seemed to have noticed something, or he might have received the news from Zhu Shouguang.

This time I came here to chat.

It was also to remind Chu Yunfei to avoid affecting him.

He, Chu Yunfei, is not a socialite.

There is no need to hold a meeting to build relationships with other generals, let alone the vast majority of them.

Chu Yunfei also looked down on them.

He naturally knew that Chiang Kai-shek was going to take action against Han Fuju.

However, there is still some controversy about the location of the arrest.

It is said that he publicly contradicted Chiang Kai-shek at the meeting, and was arrested in Wuhan after the meeting and taken to be executed.

The second theory is that he was arrested at Kong Xiangrong's home.

Kong Xiangrong lives at No. 45, Shuanglong Lane, but in the three-dimensional combat map.

Shuanglong Alley is less than one kilometer away from here.

Then they probably won't do it in the city.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei laughed: "I am not so curious about Kaifeng City. Besides, I have to attend a meeting tomorrow. I should have a good rest today."

Wang Mingzhang smiled and nodded: "Then I won't disturb Chief of Staff Chu's rest. I'll live next door to you, so we can ride together tomorrow."

Chu Yunfei nodded and agreed: "Yes!"

Step back into the room.

Sun Ming was a little confused: "Sir, why did Commander Wang not visit the generals of the Fifth War Zone and come to you on purpose? What does this mean?"

"On the one hand, it may be understandable that he came to visit us out of his good feelings towards the Jin army and his gratitude to Commander Yan."

"On the other hand, it may also be that they want to improve the relationship between the two sides. As for what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure. There will be opportunities to fight side by side in the future."

Sun Ming rubbed his nose, a little puzzled: "We are the Second War Zone, and they are now transferred to the Fifth War Zone. The troops in each war zone do not have a written order from the Military Commission... and cannot conduct cross-war zone coordinated operations."

Chu Yunfei already had a guess in his mind.

This time, the meeting will definitely be able to confirm it.

The next morning, shortly after dawn, Chu Yunfei got up, washed, and got himself ready.

After preparation, the military uniforms are now spotless and clean.

He shaved off his beard and washed his handsome face carefully.

She also rubbed on some of the vanishing cream that Sun Ming specially prepared.

What kind of generals does Chiang Kai-shek like?

Chu Yunfei is going to show that side of him now.

“See how it feels!”

Sun Ming gave a thumbs up.

Today, Chu Yunfei has an angular and resolute face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a bright gaze.

It completely meets Chiang Kai-shek's appearance standards for hiring people.

Don't do any good.

Chu Yunfei felt that he had come here for nothing.

He walked out of the courtyard with Sun Ming and Xiao Sun.

The car had already been parked at the door.

Seeing this, Wang Mingzhang waved to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei immediately talked to the guards for a few words and got into Wang Mingzhang's car.

In the car, the two continued to exchange views on the current situation on Jinpu Road.

The topographical features of Shandong are quite intuitive.

The central part is mountainous, and the Yellow River is in the north.

Wang Mingzhang believed that relying on the Yellow River to defend the ferry could effectively stop the Japanese army from advancing southward.

Even if they cannot resist, they can still rely on the strong city and corresponding fortifications to hold out and buy enough time.

No matter what.

The natural mountains along the Tai'an line are also the best barriers.

But unfortunately...now these places have fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

After mentioning this incident, Wang Mingzhang sighed repeatedly.

Sadly.

If Han Fuju had stopped fighting, even if he was defeated, the situation would not have deteriorated to this extent.

Soon, the two arrived at the meeting place.

As soon as I got off the bus, I met Deng Jinkang, Zhu Shouguang and others who were also getting off the bus.

Chu Yunfei and Wang Mingzhang looked at each other, then stepped forward and saluted.

Wang Mingzhang followed behind Deng Jinkang and Sun Zhen.

Chu Yunfei followed behind Zhu Shouguang.

Most people gathered in pairs, talking in low voices.

"Captain Li, gun number 78563."

Han Fuju frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

But it is normal to hand in your guns at a meeting. If you hesitate when it is your turn, wouldn't you be laughed at?
Han Fuju stepped forward and pulled out the pistol from his waist.

"Commander-in-Chief Han, gun number 775674"

After hearing the noise.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but turn his head to look.

The King of Shandong, Han Fuju, looked fine, but his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward and took out the pistol from his waist.

"Chief of Staff Chu, gun number 813351."

Chu Yunfei took the note and put it into his pocket.

Follow Zhu Peiji's guidance.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

soon.

Several bigwigs from the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters and the First War Zone Commander's Headquarters also came to the operations meeting room.

They were Li Zongren, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, and Han Fuju, deputy commander-in-chief.

Commander-in-Chief of the First War Zone Cheng Qian, Deputy Chief of Staff Bai Jiansheng and others gathered together to shake hands and greet each other.

They all said they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Zhu Shouguang, and even Deng Jinkang and others.

I could only sit in the chair and wait without saying a word.

"The chairman is here~!"

All the officers quickly stood up and stood at attention.

He sat down with a voice in Fenghua accent.

The generals took their seats immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Chairman!"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and pointed at Han Fuju: "Uncle Xiang, you have gained weight recently. Is it because of the fish and shrimp in Shandong that you have become fat?"

Han Fuju grinned and said nothing.

Everyone smiled and then shook hands.

If they are fattened up, shouldn't they be slaughtered?
After the fall of North China, Chiang Kai-shek needed to give an explanation to the people of the whole country.

If they don't want to kill Liu Zhi, can't they kill you, Han Fuju, to restore the morale of the army?

The participants present are basically the commanders of the main divisions and the corresponding army group commanders and even corps commanders.

Even Tang Enbo, the commander of the Central Army, could only sit in the middle and back.

Someone's seat is at the very end.

It feels like being a minion at the Eighteen Station that year.

One can imagine how high the specifications and standards of this meeting are.

Chiang Kai-shek walked up to the crowd.

"Everyone, it's been a long time since we last met. Some of you I haven't seen since you graduated from Huangpu."

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chu Yunfei who was sitting in the back.

He looked at it with satisfaction.

He gave a barely perceptible smile.

A standard military face, capable and impressive!

He is tall and strong, with a dignified appearance.

This is also the model that Chiang Kai-shek admired the most.

"Then let's take a roll call first."

"Li Zongren!"

"Have!"

"Bai Chongxi"

"Have"

"Han Fuju."

"Have"

"XXX!"

"Have!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded in satisfaction, then looked at everyone and said, "Very good."

"At present, I have resigned from many part-time jobs and am now serving as the chairman of the Military Commission. The main purpose of this meeting is to summarize the experience and lessons learned from the operations."

As Chiang Kai-shek spoke, he took out an infantry drill manual from his pocket.

"Before I conclude, I would like to ask, who brought this booklet?"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

Chiang Kai-shek picked up the infantry drill manual in his hand and signaled to everyone.

Tang Enbo rolled his eyes and carefully looked at the senior military officers present.

He didn't bring it himself.

But Chiang Kai-shek reminded him in advance, and Tang Enbo was not stupid. He guessed Chiang Kai-shek's intention after just a few words.

He carried the Infantry Drill Manual with him.

"Did anyone bring it, huh?"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly and saw everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, his anger accumulating.

Tang Enbo saw that no one responded.

He simply took out the infantry drill manual from his pocket and stood up.

"Chairman, student Ember brought it!"

"Okay, sit down."

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at the crowd again, and looked at Chu Yunfei at the end with anticipation.

After the two looked at each other.

Chu Yunfei sighed slightly in his heart.

Under the gaze of everyone, he slowly stood up.
