Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 296 Wang Ni kneels down to beg for peace; generals sign a joint telegram to vow to eliminate Wang Ni! (Subscribe)

Just as the battle in Shanxi was in full swing.

Wang Zhaoming finally found a suitable opportunity to leave the mountain city.

The Battle of Shanxi was top secret within the National Army.

The actual encirclement and annihilation campaign lasted less than three days.

Wang Zhaoming does not know the specific situation.

After the fall of Nanjing.

Zhou Fohai, Tao Xisheng and other pro-Japanese members of the "Low-Key Club" once proposed this to Wang Zhaoming and Chiang Kai-shek.

Establish a "gray cultural group" to counter the various Communist Party advocacy groups.

This proposal was accepted by Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Zhaoming.

The purpose of this group is very simple, that is, "anti-communism and pro-Japan"

After the fall of Wuhan.

The Low-Key Club developed into an open organization called the Arts and Literature Research Society, but in reality it was engaged in activities seeking secret negotiations with Japan.

And gradually a surrender group headed by Wang Zhaoming was formed.

One or two soft bones can't make much waves, but I'm afraid that these things with grooves will gather together.

Zhou Fohai left Chongqing first on the pretext of inspecting work, and Tao Xisheng followed him on the pretext of going to Kunming to give lectures.

As for the core figure Wang Zhaoming, he also left the mountain city and went to Kunming under the pretext of giving a speech.

The reason why I wanted to run away so quickly.

This is also because Chiang Kai-shek's energy was basically tied up in the Second War Zone at this time.

The fighting in the Second and Eighth War Zones was extremely fierce.

As a result, Chiang Kai-shek had no time to pay attention to Wang Zhaoming's little tricks at this time.

It also indirectly facilitated his escape.

With Wang Zhaoming's successful escape, Japan quickly issued its third statement to China.

At the same time as this statement was released.

The battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 114th Division on the southeastern battlefield of Shanxi has come to an end.

The remaining Japanese troops were divided and surrounded on various battlefields. The occasional Japanese troops that broke through the 385th Brigade's defense line were quickly captured and annihilated by the guerrillas and reserve forces of the Taihang base.

The 386th Brigade’s fighting style was quite cunning, and it had grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.

After the commander of the 109th Division, Shigetoshi Yamaoka, realized that the situation was not good, he immediately gave up the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army troops and turned to support the main force of the 114th Division, which he was supposed to support.

The northern front was Qian Bojun's battlefield and also the stage for him to demonstrate his command ability.

A qualified commander needs such battlefield experience and such training.

The experience gained from fighting against Japan is quite important.

Why did Chiang Kai-shek not kill Huang Jie even though he lost Guide?

This is because Huang Jie has a lot of experience in fighting against Japan.

Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling and reluctant to kill him.

Similarly, Qian Bojun had extensive experience in leading his troops to fight against the Japanese army.

It can almost be said that since the July 7 Incident, when the Japanese army launched a full-scale invasion of China.

Continuously engage in high-intensity combat with the Japanese army.

Everyone is very familiar with the Japanese's tactics and fighting style.

same.

The Japanese army was also quite familiar with Chu Yunfei's fighting style.

But Qian Bojun’s playing style is also different from Chu Yunfei’s.

Chu Yunfei was not commanding this battle personally, and the thick mountain defenses revealed flaws several times in an attempt to lure the enemy deeper.

But Qian Bojun just "didn't get fooled"

This made Yamaoka Shigehiro's evaluation of Qian Bojun slightly higher.

He is worthy of being Chu Yunfei's right-hand man, the second most famous general of the Jin Army after Chu Yunfei, and the representative officer of the young faction.

Did Qian Bojun see through Shan Gang’s plan?

Actually, it is not. Qian Bojun does not have such a battlefield sense at all.
Chu Yunfei has a three-dimensional combat map, so he can seize every opportunity keenly.

Qian Bojun does not have such ability.

Every time the frontline battle report was passed to him, he needed to analyze it with Qian Zhaoyou and others before making a decision.

It is totally impossible for him to be as final and do things as Chu Yunfei does.

The efficiency is naturally reduced a lot, but there are still benefits.

A more prudent and conservative style of play is suitable for this kind of bullying.

It was nothing but a pipe dream for the Japanese to defeat the First and Second Infantry Regiments, which relied on favorable terrain for defense.

Totally impossible.

Moreover, as the battle came to an end, Chu Yunfei quickly transferred the 4th Artillery Brigade to the northern battlefield.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the preference for Qian Bojun.

If only an artillery battalion was left on the battlefield of encirclement and annihilation, no one would probably accuse Chu Yunfei of being biased.

But Chu Yunfei transferred all the artillery to the northern battlefield.

Qian Bojun was deeply moved when he heard the news and wished he could go into battle and kill the enemy himself.

His brain was working at a high speed, and his command level, which was originally less than 109 points, was improved to an excellent level of points. He fought back and forth with the troops led by the commander of the th Division, Shigeo Yamaoka.

Even Qian Zhaoyou, who also came from Huangwu and had served as a senior advisor, couldn't help but admire Qian Bojun at this time.

Indeed, there is something!
Command headquarters.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the secret report sent by his subordinates.

The sudden backstab left Chiang Kai-shek somewhat confused.

When the national anti-Japanese war situation was very good, Wang Zhaoming fled.

This kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous.

But the Japanese also took action.

Obviously, this was something that both parties had planned for a long time.

"Mr. Jiang, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement stating that Japan's statement is intended to undermine China's independence and integrity."

"It's not enough to just make a statement. I'm worried that Wang Zhaoming is going to surrender to the Japanese. Prepare a speech immediately. I want to make a long speech publicly."

"Yes!"

It is naturally impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to do this job himself, as his cultural level is not enough to support it.

Things like writing articles were usually done by Chen Bulei.

Chen Burei was totally unprepared for this matter, but because Chang Kai-shen pressed him hard, he wrote quickly.

No modifications.

The next morning, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a long speech.

"The so-called new China of the Japanese is to eliminate the independent China and create a slave China, which will be dominated by them for generations. This so-called new order is based on the fact that China has become a slave country."

"The Japanese conspiracy is nothing more than to control China's military in the name of preventing the red disaster, to destroy China's national culture in the name of supporting Oriental civilization, and to exclude European and American forces from dominating the Pacific in the name of removing economic barriers."

"More than one million soldiers at the front and millions of civilians at the rear were killed, injured and sacrificed"

"Recently, the ace Flying Tiger Army of our National Revolutionary Army, the 129st Army, the th Army, and the th Division of the th Group Army launched a battle against the Japanese th Division in the southeastern part of Shanxi."

"It has been confirmed that Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu, the commander of the Japanese 114th Division, was killed, and countless enemies were killed."

"This is a great example of cooperation between our country and the Communist Party to fight the enemy!"

"The military and civilians of our country have fought tenaciously and never yielded, thus establishing a strong guarantee for the survival of the entire nation."

"In today's Japan, the people are powerless, the government is powerless, and the politicians have no moral integrity and vision. They allow a small number of young soldiers to do the opposite, and use the country's strength to shake the foundation of the country. They are only heading down the path of harming others for their own benefit and cruelty to lead the beasts to eat people."

"In the eyes of the Japanese warlords, they not only don't have China, they don't have the world either!"

Chiang Kai-shek's speech was more powerful, and he went on to emphasize and tell the Japanese.

"The harder it gets, the stronger the Chinese people will become, the more they persevere and the more courageous they will be."

"We would rather endure untold hardships, and at the last moment, we would rather sacrifice the whole country to fight the war!"

"No one in the world can conquer the Chinese nation!"

Vietnam.

Hanoi.

Wang Zhaoming was dumbfounded when he got the news.

But now it is the final moment.

Chen Bijun on the side advised: "Now it has come to this point, what is there to hesitate about?"

"Once the telegram is sent, there is no turning back."

"We have already reached the point of no return. If you return to Shancheng District now, will Chiang let us go?" "The killer may already be on the way. By then, both you and I will be dead without a burial place."

Wang Zhaoming hesitated.

"Before I left, I left a private letter for Mr. Jie. I don't know if it reached him."

[To President Chiang Kai-shek: In addition to distributing the telegram I have sent to the Central Government, I am sending you a copy for your review and supervision.

Ming once said that the Republic of China is facing difficulties in supporting the war, and the Japanese are facing difficulties in ending the war. Both countries have difficulties. They look forward to the assistance of Britain, the United States and France. The Soviet Union does not oppose it. Germany is not a man. Especially when Japan wakes up, it is time to stop fighting. It makes me sick to read the information. 】

To sum it up briefly: Wang Zhaoming believed that the Nationalist government could not hold on, and that countries such as Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union would not send troops to help, but would only ask the two sides to mediate, and that the Soviet Union would not act independently without Britain, the United States and France.

He was actually right in this judgment.

The "Chongguangtang Agreement" was specially prepared by the Japanese in order to lure Wang Jingwei into surrender.

But the agreement the Japanese promised him was far from the Japanese's actual position.

By the time Wang Zhaoming realized that the Japanese were a bunch of swindlers.

He had no way to retreat and had no choice but to go all out, becoming the biggest traitor in the history of the Republic of China.

When Chu Yunfei saw Wang Zhaoming's "Peace Proposal".

It was already the second day after the battle.

Chu Yunfei stood there in a daze for half an hour, pondering over Wang Zhaoming's outrageous move.

I still haven’t figured out what’s in Wang Zhaoming’s head.

Is it really that tempting for him to support Wang and oppose Chiang?

People from all walks of life across the country immediately sent out telegrams to condemn the incident.

Mrs. Song denounced Wang Zhaoming as a "traitor to the country."

He Xiangning criticized Wang Jingwei: Not only has he lost all his national spirit, but he has also lost all his conscience as a human being. She demanded that Wang Jingwei be expelled from the Kuomintang.

Generals from various war zones and officials from various provincial governments also sent telegrams to condemn Wang Zhaoming's fallacies and false statements.

What puzzled Chu Yunfei the most was.

He remembers it clearly.

After Wang Zhaoming publicly published the telegram of treason.

Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to leave a way out so that Wang Zhaoming could "repent and return to the anti-Japanese war team."

They also sent people to advise Wang Zhaoming not to openly advocate peace, which would be different from the Central Committee's, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

While sending people to stabilize Wang Jingwei, an emergency meeting was held in the country to expel Wang Zhaoming from the party and remove him from all his positions.

But at the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also sent people with protective shields and huge sums of money to Hanoi to persuade Wang Zhaoming again, hoping that he would not take further political actions.

In particular, we should not go to Shanghai or Nanjing to set up a puppet regime, so as not to be used by the enemy and cause serious consequences.

But no matter how intimate Chiang Kai-shek's dog-licking tactics were, Wang Zhaoming flatly rejected Chiang Kai-shek.
Following the joint telegram issued by Chu Yunfei and other generals.

The telegram vowing to eliminate Wang the traitor was placed in front of Chiang Kai-shek.

Only then did Chiang Kai-shek come to his senses.

It wasn't that Chu Yunfei guessed that he wanted to leave Wang Zhaoming a way to survive.

But Chu Yunfei was holding back a big one.

"Commissioner, this joint telegram includes the names of all the general officers of the Second War Zone, as well as the entire 71st Army of the First War Zone, the 20th Army Group, the 22nd Army Group, the 59th Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Lusu War Zone, General Yu Xuezhong, General Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, General Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone, General Wei Lihuang, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth War Zone, General Fu Zuoyi."

"That's enough. No need to continue."

Chiang Kai-shek took the report handed over by Wang Shihe.

Glanced at the list above.

I had mixed feelings for a while.

Nothing else
There are just too many fucking ones.

If someone said that Chu Yunfei could connect all the generals on this list.

Then Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but ask, is Chu Yunfei the chairman or is he the chairman?
Even he, as the chairman, does not have the ability to organize such a massive joint telegram across three war zones.

Before this.

Just as the various troops were cleaning up the battlefield, gathering their troops and preparing to rest in batches according to the original plan.

Chu Yunfei ordered Fang Ligong and others to send a telegram to all the generals who had had any interactions with him.

Invite them to sign the joint telegram.

After receiving such an invitation, Chu Yunfei himself was extremely shocked.

There are too many fucking people!
All the troops and generals who had fought to the death with the Japanese clearly supported Chu Yunfei's actions.

All the troops and generals that Chu Yunfei had fought side by side with clearly separated themselves from Wang Zhaoming and signed their names on the joint telegram.

Troops in the Second War Zone: Zeng Wanzhong, Wu Shimin, Sun Chu, Yang Aiyuan, Wang Jingguo, Ma Zhanshan (Northeast Advance Army, also belongs to the Second War Zone, but is stationed in northern Shaanxi). (Too many)

The main generals in other war zones are:

General Sun Lianzhong and his troops (Zhang Jinzhao, Feng Zhian, Chi Fengcheng).

Feng Qinzai (who had lost his military power at this time and was serving as deputy commander-in-chief of the First War Zone).

Shang Zhen (Commander-in-Chief of the 20th Army Group; Qian Bojun led his troops to rescue him and his subordinates in the Battle of Lanfeng).

Sun Zhen (22nd Sichuan Army Group, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiayu, Dong Songheng, etc.) and his troops.

Yu Xuezhong (Commander of the Lusu War Zone, Zhou Xianlie, Mou Zhongheng, etc.) and his troops,
General Zhang Zizhong and his troops.

General Pang Bingxun and his troops.

General Wei Lihuang and his troops.

The most ruthless ones were Li Zongren and all the generals of the Guangxi clique under his command, who signed this joint telegram.

This does not include the Shaanxi Army's Sun Division (the Fourth Army, Zhao Shoushan), Deng's Division (Deng Baoshan, the New First Army), and the Eighth War Zone's Fu Zuoyi Division (the Seventh Army,
Those who have connections with him and those who have no connections with him...all of them were included in this joint telegram from the generals!

"Weiwen, did I do something wrong?"

Lin Wei took a deep breath: "What does the Chairman mean?"

"I want to give Wang Zhaoming a chance to live, hoping that he can repent and return to the anti-Japanese ranks."

Encouraged by Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, Lin Wei spoke frankly: "I think it is inappropriate to do this."

"Tell me what you think..."

"Chairman, the second phase of the anti-Japanese war plan you formulated is currently being implemented smoothly. The Japanese army has suffered heavy losses, and our army is gaining momentum. Wang Ni's release of the erotic telegram at this time will inevitably have an extremely bad impact on the confidence of the army and civilians in the war of resistance..."

"But the Second War Zone just won a great victory."

"Because of this, when the situation was good and the war was going well, what would the people think if Wang surrendered to the Japanese?"

Chiang Kai-shek is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.

He knew what Lin Wei meant.

Even a high-ranking official like Wang Zhaoming surrendered to the Japanese under such circumstances.

Seeking what is called peace.

Isn’t it because he is not optimistic about the so-called military victory?

As for the common people, how can they remain confident of victory? After all, even someone like Wang Zhaoming surrendered. Do you know more than Wang Zhaoming?
The vast majority of the people are ignorant and will inevitably be shaken under the Japanese army's propaganda offensive.

It is very likely to have a major impact on the subsequent strategic counterattack.

"As for Yun Fei's move, it was probably a last resort. Although the Japanese 114th Division was almost completely wiped out this time, the 108th and 109th Divisions were not successfully damaged. The Taihang guerrilla base of the 18th Army was also severely damaged, and three counties in the southeastern part of Shanxi were also turned into scorched earth."

"Although this battle was a military victory, it also weakened the anti-Japanese war potential in southeastern Shanxi in a short period of time."

While the two were talking.

Another telegram was sent to the High Command.

Wang Shihe knocked on the office door and walked up to the two men at Chiang Kai-shek's signal.

"Chairman, the 88th Group Army is calling."

"Ok?"

Chang Kaishen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it Chu Yunfei who came to ask for forgiveness?"

“It’s a war report.”

Chiang Kai-shek sighed slightly. It turned out to be the same Chu Yunfei as he remembered.

It is simply impossible to expect this kid to bow his head and "admit his mistake".

This joint telegram was not discussed with him before, and now it has directly put him, the chairman and president, in an embarrassing position.

There were actually not many options left for Chiang Kai-shek.

He also fully understands the seriousness of the situation.

After taking a look at Chu Yunfei's report on the results of the battle and the losses of each unit, he immediately ordered Wang Shihe to find Dai Yunong.
After briefly discussing with Lin Wei the possible impact of this matter.

Dai Yunong walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office.

Lin Wei left.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately asked Dai Yunong to set up a working group, and he would personally direct and arrange the task to get rid of Wang Zhaoming!

Eliminate the impact as much as possible
After accepting the mission, Dai Yunong immediately set off for Vietnam to plan the assassination.

Chiang Kai-shek, holding the telegram in his hand, stood in front of the national strategic situation map and fell into deep thought again.
