Chapter 278 Iron Fist
There is no lack of sarcasm in Zhang Wenjie's words.
It means that you are not qualified to speak if you are not on the front line.
Liang Gang said coldly: "Although I am in the rear, I still do not forget the mission and responsibilities of the soldiers."
"That's right, the brigade is in the military service office in the rear, and there is a place to support it, and the central funding is allocated. Naturally, we don't have to worry about food or clothing, but our soldiers on the front line are not good." Zhang Wenjie sneered, "Especially, those who suffer defeat like our 94th Division are even more unsatisfied, and grandma doesn't love it. The brigade may not know that we have not paid military pay for half a year."
"This cannot be a reason for you to exploit the people!" Liang Gang slapped the table and said furiously, "As a soldier, defending the country and protecting the people are what you should do, not exploiting the people!"
"Just." Zhang Wenjie said, "It's not just our 94th Division who does this, the entire Second World War Zone and even the entire Party and the country. What's the point of not doing this?"
Zhang Wenjie has completely broken up.
I thought to myself that if you, a person named Liang, still know your identity, I will give you some face.
Since you are so ignorant of being polite, there is no way to put you in vain. The 94th Division here is not your Central Military Academy teaching corps.
"I don't care about other troops."
Liang Gangdao: "But the 94th Brigade alone is not possible!"
"But I did it!" Zhang Wenjie said coldly, "Who is surnamed Liang, what do you think?"
Liang Gang's eyes became cold and said coldly: "Where are you here? Pull this sycam out for me and kill it in public!"
Gao Shenxing turned around and waved his hand. Two officers from the Central Military Academy's teaching corps rushed in immediately and walked out without saying a word.
The dozen or so officers present were shocked.
Zhang Wenjie himself was even more scared. He didn't expect Liang Gang to dare to kill someone.
You should know that he is the deputy brigade commander of the 94th Brigade, and Liang Gang, the brigade commander, has no right to kill him.
After being surprised, Zhang Wenjie quickly calmed down and shouted sternly: "Liang Gang, you don't have the power to kill me. What's the fuck? Just you want to kill me too?"
Finally, the dozen or so officers also reacted.
A colonel said, "Building, does this seem inappropriate?"
Liang Gang's eyes fell on the colonel's face and asked, "Who are you?"
The colonel pulled his military uniform and replied: "Duan Rongqing, the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 94th Brigade, was the only one who was not a member of the 3rd Regiment of the 94th Brigade."
Liang Gang said coldly: "Since you know that you are the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 94th Independent Brigade, you should know that the commander of the 94th Independent Brigade is Liang Gang. What's wrong, do you want to disobey?"
"I dare not be humble at work." Duan Rongqing said, not daring, but his tone was extremely provocative.
I don’t believe that you dare to take down the battalion commanders and battalion commanders here.
Duan Rongqing said again: "Unless it is a serious crime such as disobedience on the battlefield, you are not qualified to execute officers at the school level or above according to the regulations."
"Exploding the people will corrupt the image of the national army and shake the foundation of the party and the country. Its nature is worse than disobedience on the battlefield." Liang Gang stared into Duan Rongqing's eyes and said coldly, "Captain Duan, do you think you should kill?"
"It shouldn't be." Duan Rongqing said without giving in, "This is not called exploiting the people, it is called collecting taxes."
"Yes, since ancient times, it has not been natural for ordinary people to pay imperial grain?"
"Now that local government officials are gone, why not collect taxes on the behalf of the army?"
"Don't the entire World War II theater and even the entire China do this? What's wrong with this?"
With Duan Rongqing starting, the other regiment commanders also plucked up the courage to question it loudly.
Zhang Wenjie laughed and said coldly: "My surname is Liang. Since you and I have broken your face today, I might as well open the skylight to talk to you. The 94th Division is not the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, not what you want. Don't think that you can cover the sky with the 94th Division if you are appointed by the principal. Tell you that it is a dream!"
Liang Gang ignored Zhang Wenjie because in his opinion, Zhang Wenjie was already a dead person.
Liang Gang's eyes turned to Duan Rongqing and other dozen regiment commanders and battalion commanders, and asked: "I don't care if the entire Second World War Zone did this. I will only ask you one thing, have you done this?"
Duan Rongqing sneered and said, "If you don't do this, what will your brothers eat and drink?"
"Very good, you are a man who dares to act and take responsibility." Liang Gang nodded and turned his eyes to others, "What about you? Have you done this?"
"Did it, everything is done!"
"What's wrong with someone surnamed Liang?"
As the saying goes, the law does not have any responsibility. Once there are too many people, the courage will become fat.
"Haha, very good!" Liang Gang said coldly, "Does this think my knife is not sharp enough?"
After saying this, Liang Gang sternly said: "Come on, pull all these worms down and shoot them!"
The next moment, a team of fully armed Central Army rushed into the conference room like a wolf, and then the two of them quickly controlled more than a dozen battalion commanders including Duan Rongqing.
It turns out that Liang Gang was prepared and the knife and axe driver had been ambushed.
Seeing that Liang Gang was going to start a massacre, more than a dozen battalion commanders were immediately panicked.
Zhang Wenjie was really scared at this moment. Unexpectedly, Liang Gang was a naughty man, and even dared to offend public anger. He executed more than a dozen battalion-level chief officers at once. Aren’t he afraid of a mutiny in the army?
"You can't kill me if you're surnamed Liang." Zhang Wenjie shouted.
"I have made contributions to the Party and the State, and I have shed blood for the Party and the State!"
"I want to meet Chief Yan, I want to meet Chairman!"
"You can no longer see Chief Yan and Chairman."
Liang Gang snorted coldly and said, "Put down, you will all be killed!"
With a wave of his hand, officers such as Zhang Wenjie, Duan Rongqing were taken out.
A moment later, a burst of gunfire sounded outside. More than a dozen battalion-level officers including Zhang Wenjie, Xi Rongqing were actually shot to death by Liang Gang in public.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Gang sent someone to post a notice.
He made a solemn promise to the people of the entire Qinglong Mountain area. If he finds that there is a Central Army to set up a checkpoint in the future, he will collect liquor from passing pedestrians and business travelers, and just come to Tiandagang to ask him for compensation.
Once the news came out, the people of Qinglong Mountain praised it.
...
Zhaojiayu, authentic.
"Erdan, give me the dustpan."
Although it was the cold winter month, Li Yunlong was shirtless and sweating profusely.
Nothing else, because Li Yunlong was in a tunnel more than ten meters deep at this time, and was digging the tunnel with the villagers in Zhaojiayu and the soldiers of the Independence Regiment.
It’s not just Zhaojiayu who is digging tunnels.
Hundreds of villages in the entire Fuliang Mountain area have been mobilized and are doing their best to dig tunnels.
Moreover, the project progress is extremely fast, because the average thickness of the soil layer on the Loess Plateau is between 50 and 80 meters, and the thickest soil layer can be as high as more than 250 meters.
So there is no need to worry about digging the rock formation.
So far, the tunnel in Zhaojiayu has been dug for dozens of kilometers long, and it has been connected with the tunnels in several neighboring villages.
Various facilities in the tunnel are also being improved.
For example, exhaust holes, water diversion channels, sewage pipes, reservoirs, storage rooms, dormitories, conference rooms and even battlefield rescue centers have been divided.
There are also many labyrinth-like forks.
In order to prevent the Japanese poisonous gas attacks, multiple layers of tunnels were also dug.
The underground Great Wall envisioned by Wang Ye is gradually taking shape.
According to this progress, by the spring plowing next year, the completion rate of the underground Great Wall will reach more than 80%, which means that fortifications in several key areas need to be strengthened.
Because in addition to the tunnels, the underground Great Wall envisioned by Wang Ye also has fortresses.
Wang Ye prepared to hollow out the main peak of Fuliang Mountain and the four hills on the periphery, build a chain bunker for mothers and children, and build a solid military fortress.
At present, more than a thousand prisoners arrested by the Independent Regiment are stepping up construction, but the progress is relatively slow, and the enthusiasm of these prisoners is still not high.
Of course, the captive's physical strength is not very good either.
The reason is very simple. Captives can only eat one meal a day and add one dilute meal.
Wang Ye was not so stupid that he let the prisoners eat their fill. After all, the food of the Independent Regiment was not blown by the strong wind, but by the soldiers of the entire regiment for their lives.
Get back to the point.
Ge Erdan handed the dustpan to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was taking a hoe to fill the dustpan with soil, but Wang Ye suddenly walked over with a flashlight.
"Captain." Wang Ye approached Li Yunlong and said, "There is news from Qinglong Mountain that Liang Gang, the commander of the 94th Brigade, has just taken office, and he has been a big ticket as soon as he comes."
"Is that true?" Li Yunlong wiped his sweat with a towel.
He asked again: "What have you done by this dog god?"
Wang Ye said: "He summoned all the battalion-level officers of the former 94th Division based on the grounds of the meeting, and then took it all in one fell swoop. He then selected a group of officers from the Central Military Academy's teaching corps to promote them to the regiment commander and battalion commander. The positions of the platoon squad leaders of the lower companies were all replaced by key veterans from the Central Military Academy's teaching corps."
"Damn it, this is a tough character." Li Yunlong became alert in an instant.
"There is another thing that you would never imagine, the regiment commander," said Wang Ye. "Liang Gang's reason for executing Zhang Wenjie and other officers of the 94th Division was that they exploited the people and shook the foundation of the National Government."
"Is this kind of thing actually happening?" Li Yunlong said in surprise. "It is rare for such a Kuomintang officer."
Wang Ye continued: "Now, the people in Qinglong Mountain District praise Liang Gang and the 94th Brigade, saying that they are a real anti-Japanese team."
...
Sanduotang, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
"There is something wrong with the regiment seat." Fang Ligong quickly walked into the war room.
Chu Yunfei stood up and asked, "Brother Ligong, tell me slowly, are the Japanese going to invade our defense zone?"
"Ghost? Oh no." Fang Ligong waved his hand and said, "It was a problem with the 94th Brigade in the north. When Brigade Commander Liang got off the car, he sang an iron-fisted military commander Zhang Wenjie, Duan Rongqing and more than a dozen commanders, battalion commanders, including Zhang Wenjie, Duan Rongqing, and more than a dozen commanders, battalion commanders, and even the squad leader below."
"Hmph." A hint of emotion flashed across Chu Yunfei's face.
"It seems that I am still the familiar brother Tiefeng in my memory!"
"Brother Tiefeng?" Fang Ligong said inexplicably, "Why are you called Brother Tiefeng?"
Chu Yunfei said: "In ancient times, steelmaking was not easy, and steel was only wrapped around the blade of weapons, so steel was iron edge. Lianggang had a single word of steel, so the students jokingly called him Brother Tiefeng."
Fang Ligong said: "This person's personality is really as sharp as steel."
"Although steel is sharp, it is easy to break." Chu Yunfei sighed, "Brother Tiefeng has taken such a drastic rectification of the 94th Brigade when he first arrived. If he is not careful, he will be easily taken advantage of by the Japanese and puppet forces. What he needs most at this time is the affirmation and support from the outside world. In this way, brother, you can immediately prepare 100,000 French currency, 200,000 kilograms of miscellaneous grains, 1,000 rifles and a base ammunition."
...
At the same time, the head of the Second World War Zone in Qiulin Town, northern Shaanxi.
Chu Xichun, chief of staff of the Second War Zone, handed a letter to Yan Xishan and said respectfully: "General, this is a handwritten letter written to you by Yoshio Iwamatsu, the new commander of the Japanese Army's 1st Army stationed in Shanxi."
Yan Xishan took the letter but did not immediately open it and asked, "Has Iwasaki Yoshio taken office?"
Chu Xichun said: "It is said that he had taken office secretly three days ago, but there was no external publicity."
Yan Xishan said: "So, the press conference must not be held, and the strategy of governing Jin Dynasty was definitely not announced?"
"That's of course." Chu Xichun said, "Without your cooperation from the chief officer, Yoshio Iwamatsu's strategy of governing Jin will probably be difficult to give birth. After all, you have the final say in the land of the three Jin Dynasties, haha."
Yan Xishan was very comfortable when he heard this obvious flattery.
As he grew older, Yan Xishan no longer had the enterprising spirit of his youth and began to like to listen to such flattering words.
The Japanese Special High School Class is also very clear about this, so the handwritten letter Iwamatsu Yoshio to Yan Xishan was also very respectful and even a little flattering.
Lord Yan Xishan, please tell me:
Looking back at the heyday of the Beiyang School,
As a young general, I served as the assistant officer of Sakanishihachiro's consultant,
I am honored to meet you once or twice in Beijing. I still remember your style freshly...
...As you have known for a long time, what else can you gain besides burying Chang Kaishen's foolish plan for vain? Beg for Yan to calmly observe the changes in the world war situation and the prosperity of Japan, and finally make the wisest choice.
Yoshio Iwamatsu worships.
After reading this handwritten letter from Yoshio Iwamatsu, Yan Xishan felt a little awkward.
What else is more gratifying than affirmation from the most powerful enemy? This is a handwritten letter to him by Yoshio Iwamatsu, the new commander of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi.
The words in the letter are so humble and respectful.
At that moment, Yan Xishan handed the letter to Chu Xichun.
Chu Xichun was also deeply moved after watching it.
"It seems that Yoshio Iwamatsu still has some vision. He knows that if he wants to firmly sit in the throne of the commander of the 1st Army, he must have the support of the general officer, otherwise he will only follow Shinozuka Yoshio."
Chu Xichun really dares to say that it is Yan Xishan's credit for Yoshio Shizuka being forced to commit suicide by separatism.
Yan Xishan did not deny it and sighed, "Brother Xichun, Yoshio Iwamatsu's intentions have been revealed. Do you think we should talk to them?"
Chu Xichun said: "I think we should have a peace talk."
He paused and said, "There are two reasons."
"First, the manpower and material resources in our World War II zone have been exhausted, and the funds allocated by the central government have been delayed in implementing them, so it is difficult for the War of Resistance to continue."
“Even if the peace talks fail,”
"At least we can win a moment of breathing for our Shanxi-Sui Army."
"Second, the chief commander-in-chief of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army and then the commander-in-chief of the Second World War Zone."
"I think that in order to protect the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and the people of one side are not enslaved by the Japanese invaders, it is not impossible to consider declaring independence, but Japan must show its greatest sincerity."
Yan Xishan said: "But how should Chongqing explain it?"
"Telling to Chongqing is just a delaying strategy." Chu Xichun said.
"If Chongqing does not agree, please allocate the owed funds as much as possible."
Hearing this, Yan Xishan finally made up his mind: "Okay, that's it."
While he was speaking, Adjutant Zhang Riming led the Intelligence Director Yang Zhenji to hurry in.
"General, I'm in charge, something happened." Yang Zhenji said, "Liang Gang arrested Zhang Wenjie, deputy commander of the 94th Brigade, and more than a dozen battalion commanders, including Duan Rongqing, and other dozens of battalions commanders!"
"What?" Yan Xishan was so shocked that he stood up suddenly.
"What a joke?" Chu Xichun said in disbelief, "A brigade commander killed all the deputy brigade commander and more than a dozen regiment commanders under his command?"
"What do he want to do? What do he want to do?"
Yan Xishan calmed down and said furiously: "Does he want to rebel?"
"Ha, I understand." Chu Xichun suddenly sneered, "This is another trick."
"Brother Xichun, what are you talking about?" Yan Xishan said inexplicably, "What kind of trick?"
Chu Xichun said: "Master, haven't you seen it yet? This must have been instructed by Principal Chang, and the purpose is to use his direct Huangpu officer to control this army."
"This is to reject dissidents and support their confidants again."
"Damn it, this really corresponds to what Iwamatsu Yoshio said."
"Is it really worth the burial of Chang Kaishen's foolish plan? Is it worth the throne?"
Hearing this, although Yan Xishan did not say it clearly, his determination to resist the war has been greatly shaken. He felt that letting Shanxi declare independence seemed to be a good choice?
The premise is that Shanxi still has to decide.
Japan can only have symbolic troops.
...
At the same time, the 1st Army Command in Taiyuan.
Miyanodao went up to the second floor with a saber, looking at the wooden door at the end of the corridor, feeling a little emotional.
When he first came to Taiyuan more than half a year ago, the owner of this office was Lord Yoshio Shinozuka, but now it has been replaced by Lord Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Things change, this is what we are talking about.
But soon, Miyano Dori tidied up his mood and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Please come in." A voice came from inside. When Miyanodao pushed the door and entered, he saw two people sitting in the living room outside, one carrying the rank of lieutenant general, which was Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Another one who has the title of Major General is Kawaguchi.
Hana is a classmate of Lu Datong from Miyano.
"Kun Hanaya?" Miyano said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled and said, "Miyono and Hanaya have been officially transferred to the Chief of Staff of the 1st Army."
Chapter completed!
