. A popular party appeared in the northwest, and from the words revealed by the northwest, it can be analyzed that this popular party has existed for several years! This made Chiang Kai-shek angry and very worried!

It has been almost 10 years since the establishment of the Nanjing government in 27 years. However, in 10 years, the Nanjing authorities have not even eliminated the original hiking ravines, and the pursuit from Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi has not stopped.

Now, a popular party that occupied several provinces emerged in the northwest, and this popular party also took it as its mission to overthrow the rule of the party and the country, and its level of harm is even still at the moment. All of this shocked Chiang Kai-shek and was full of worries about the future of the party and the country.

In addition to being shocked and worried, it is inevitable that anger will be angry. The People's Party has been established for several years, and Zhao Zhenzhong has become the chairman of the People's Party, but Nanjing has not received any reliable and effective news before this! Thinking about the fact that Feng Ti was involved in the assassination of Wang last year, as well as the Lixing Society and the degeneration of the people in the Fuxing Society, the high hopes that Chiang Kai-shek Society and the Fuxing Society had originally put on the high hopes for the Lixing Society and the Fuxing Society became disappointment.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that you can't completely blame the two societies for the incompetence of the Northwest. Since its establishment, the two societies have concentrated their strength on dealing with and preventing the Japanese in North China according to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, and also have to control the southwest. It is not strange that there is no progress in the northwest. However, if such a big mistake occurs, naturally, the responsibility cannot be borne by Chiang Kai-shek, but the following is unfavorable.

In fact, a People's Party appeared in the northwest, and its chairman was Zhao Zhenzhong, which also shocked all walks of life. Although there is not enough evidence to prove that Zhao Zhenzhong in the northwest is the "Zhao Mengchang", many people have already believed that the two must be the same person. This can be proved from the Northwest's consistent attitude towards rescuers to the victims!

In ancient China, the patents of the disaster relief government, private porridge and good deeds could only be limited to a certain scope and scale. Moreover, even if private individuals have the ability, they must not take in hundreds of thousands of victims, especially the young and strong among them. Otherwise, a crime of "winning people's hearts and ill-thinking" would soon fall to the head of the good deeds, and it would not be surprising that the entire family would fall into the ground.

Since the Republic of China, due to the government's inability to rescue disasters and the gradual progress of the west wind, social concepts have changed greatly, and private disaster relief and even intake, resettlement of disaster victims has become a good story. This is also the premise that Zhu Qinglan can provide relief to disaster victims for more than ten years and Zhao Zhenzhong can use labor for relief.

Chiang Kai-shek is now determined to order a thorough investigation of NGO disaster relief to avoid Zhao Zhenzhong-like characters appearing again, but this idea only went around a few times in his mind and had to give up.

In this era, if the government does not provide relief to the victims, it is already a dereliction of duty. If the government is blocked from civil relief, then the government must be criticized by thousands of people! What's more, the Nanjing authorities are now unfavorable to disaster relief, and silence the disaster situation in Sichuan Province has already attracted criticism from all parties and has lost people's hearts. If unofficial disaster relief activities are banned, it is hard to say how long the Nanjing government can stay stable under the turbulent people's conditions.

The Guangdong-Guangxi Incident had just been resolved, and such a major event happened in the northwest. However, the northwest first fought against the Soviet Union and recovered the western Mongolian world, and now vigorously rescued the victims of Sichuan Province, which earned the hearts of the people and public opinion. The surrounding troops in Canada were insufficient, and the Nanjing authorities are now unable to attack the northwest. In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek could only make the localities in various provinces and local disaster relief, and instructed newspapers and radio stations to criticize Zhao Zhenzhong and the northwest for "unpredictable intentions, premeditated separatist areas and disrupt the national political situation."

The accusations against the Nanjing authorities were naturally not to be outdone. Through radio and newspapers, they refuted them one by one. They published an editorial and publicly criticized them: "The three eastern provinces have fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders for five years, and the fall of Rehe has been more than three years. Within a few years, they only saw the reactionary authorities in Nanjing bow down and give in, but they did not see the slightest recovery! Today, the invaders have increased their troops in North China, and a new change is imminent, but they still only saw Nanjing retreat! Retreat again and again, will the reactionary authorities in Nanjing sell their hometowns and the Japanese invaders be willing to give up?!

The reactionary authorities in Nanjing bowed their knees and treasoned the country, but gave the Northwest Government and the People's Army, which fought against the Soviet invasion and recovered the territory of Western Mongolia, accused of "unpredictable intentions and disturbing the country". This is a huge joke! If resisting foreign invasion and maintaining the country's territory becomes unpredictable intentions and disturbing the country, the People's Party and the Northwest Government and the People's Army under their leadership, would rather be as good as the Northwest in the country! If this is true, the great powers who have invaded and are invading China will be uneasy to sleep and eat, so why is the current situation?!

Since the establishment of the reactionary authorities in Nanjing, they have been betraying the outside world, and have been in civil wars for years, with high debts and caring for people's livelihood. Since the flood in the Yangtze River, it has seen many years of disaster losses. It is unknown how effective the reactionary authorities in Nanjing can prevent and assist measures. Tens of millions of disaster victims in Imachuan, Henan and other provinces are hungry, but Nanjing sits silent. However, the northwest rescue of the victims in Sichuan Province was falsely accused of "unpredictable". What kind of government is the Nanjing authorities?! What kind of reaction is it?!

The Nanjing authorities do not take it as their responsibility to safeguard the national and national interests, and also ignore the lives and deaths of disasters and people in various provinces in China. For such a reactionary government, the People's Party and its forces under their leadership, they will fight to the end to completely overthrow it, and there is no room for compromise! Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The reactionary government of Nanjing is also destined to be eliminated by history!"

The northwest fights invasion and regains territory; provides relief to the victims internally, fights against Nanjing, and the strength shown by the People's Party and the Northwest Government and the People's Army under its leadership hit the dilapidated dam of the Nanjing authorities like a flood, impacts the Chinese people's concepts, and has opened up a considerable gap. In the foreseeable future, when the dam collapses and most of the Chinese people will accept the concepts of the northwest, that is, when the Nanjing authorities fall.

Chiang Kai-shek also understood the threat from the Northwest to Nanjing. However, before he could take any targeted actions against the Northwest, the Nanjing authorities faced new problems.

On October 19, Chen Qiyou, the foreign minister of the Republic of Lan Fang, who had just recovered, delivered a speech, hoping to establish ambassador-level diplomatic relations with the Chinese government. Immediately, Lan Fang entrusted the representatives of Nanyang Chinese Zhuang Xiyan, Li Qingquan and others to arrive in the mainland through Hong Kong, and worked hard to establish diplomatic relations for China and Lanzhou.

After the resumption ceremony was held on October 9, with Huamei's assistance, Lan Fang established diplomatic relations with Germany on October 12. For the German government, establishing diplomatic relations with Lan Fang can not only obtain technical patents such as penicillin in Huamei Company, but also obtain strategic materials such as oil and rubber. The price is just a tense relationship with the Netherlands. This is a very cost-effective deal. The Hitler government, which is expanding its arms, will naturally not refuse.

Through a series of consultations that began before the restoration of the country, as of October 1, Lan Fang has established ambassador-level diplomatic relations with the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. In the eyes of the United States, Britain, Australia and other countries, Lan Fang's restoration has become a foregone conclusion. Under this circumstance, establishing normal diplomatic relations with Lan Fang is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the Nanyang area than restricting it.

The international community has gradually recognized the Republic of Lanfang, and the Chinese government, which has the same origin as Lanfang, seems to be more acknowledged. Don’t forget that Sun Yat-sen publicly praised overseas Chinese back then and called him the "mother of revolutionary victory". Now the "mother" of overseas Chinese in the Nanjing authorities has established a country overseas, so these disciples of "pre-Prime Minister" always have to express something quickly? But in fact, Chen Qiyou's speech and Zhuang, Li and others promoted China, but the actions of establishing diplomatic relations between Lanzhou made the Nanjing authorities extremely embarrassed.

Not admitting it? Not only will overseas Chinese be completely disappointed with the Nanjing authorities, but domestic people will also accuse them of being "ungrateful", and even the finances of the Nanjing authorities will be seriously affected. Overseas Chinese have many revolutionary bonds that Sun Yat-sen promised ten times interest. Once they are asked, the Nanjing government's debt will be at least higher. Moreover, it is difficult for the Nanjing authorities to openly refuse to cash out.

But to admit it? It is equivalent to be hitting the Nanjing authorities and the Prime Minister in the face. Chen Jiongming and the Prime Minister were the "traitors" who were the first to the Prime Minister, but they were able to defeat the Dutch overseas, expand their territory, and gain a living for overseas Chinese. In contrast, Sun Yat-sen's remarks that he kept making the Manchuria, Mongolia and Japan, and the Nanjing authorities' actions of allowing the Japanese army to occupy the Northeast and forcing North China and simply compromise and give in. Isn't this saying that the party and the country are not even as good as "traitors"?

Moreover, if the Nanjing authorities establish diplomatic relations with Lan Fang, it would be equivalent to affirming Chen Jiongming, denying the propaganda of the Party and the country for many years, and denying the glorious and righteousness of the first prime minister, it would inevitably have a great impact on the Kuomintang system and the Nanjing regime. If the typhoon in Nanyang is combined with the cold current in the northwest, then the Nanjing authorities would be equivalent to swimming in winter. When the sauna is together, the fun would be too great!

Lao Chiang and the Nanjing people discussed for a few days, and finally decided: neither refuse nor admit, and put it on the hiatus! Of course, the officials including Lao Chiang also knew in their hearts that it would not take long to delay, but they could only do so at the moment.

Having just met the difficulties in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek had to focus on North China and the situation in Suiyuan.

After the Japanese army in North China last year instigated North China Autonomous Government and failed to achieve complete success, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was deeply influenced by the "Manchuria and Mongolia Plan", began to instigate the De of Inner Mongolia to create independence, and planned to unify inner and outer Mongolia and establish Mongolia.

Stimulated by the People's Army's occupation of western Mongolia at the beginning of the year, Japan accelerated the puppet Mongolian army from the spring of 1936 to promote the merger of the puppet Mongolian army, and established the "Chahar League Office" and the "Mongol Army General Command" in Chadong. King De served as the commander-in-chief, and Li Shouxin was the deputy commander-in-chief. In April, with Japan's promotion and help, King De held a separatist meeting called "Inner Mongolia Princes and Dukes" at the Suo Mansion of the Wuzhuqin Right Banner of Xi League, which was actually a separatist meeting, which was actually the "Mongolian National Construction Conference", and publicly proposed the political goal of establishing Mongolia. On May 12, King De and Li Shouxin and others publicly established the so-called "Mongolian Military Government" in Huade. King De served as the president and held military and political power. Li Shouxin was also the Minister of Staff, and hired Japanese people, Hirojiro Muratani and Yamauchi as chairman advisors and military, finance, diplomacy and other consultants.

After integration, the "Mongolian Military Government" had two armies, 9 divisions, with a total of about 10,000 people. The commander of the 1st Army was Li Shouxin, with 4 divisions and 1 artillery regiment under his jurisdiction, stationed in the Zhangbei area; the commander of the 2nd Army was also appointed by King De, and also under his jurisdiction, 4 divisions and 1 artillery regiment under his jurisdiction, stationed in the Huade area. Another division was the guard division. In addition, Wang Ying, the former bandit leader in the Houtao area, also gathered a group of mobs and pieced together the "Han Rebel Army". The unit was commander-in-chief Wang Ying, with 4 brigades under his jurisdiction, with a total force of about 6,000 people, stationed in Shangyi and Shangdu areas.

In the strategic goal of "Mongolia's founding of the country", the Japanese Kwantung Army and the puppet Mongolian Army naturally would not ignore Suiyuan, including the Ulanqab Alliance and the Ikezhao Alliance in western Inner Mongolia. When King De and Li Shouxin were ready, the first step of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the puppet Mongolian Army took direct action to Suiyuan.

In October, the Kwantung Army formulated a plan for invading Sui. The Kwantung Army Staff Takagi Tanaka took over as the chief of the secret service agency stationed in Huade and directly commanded the puppet army operations. On November 5, Takagi Tanaka convened King De, Li Shouxin, Wang Ying and others to arrange a plan to attack Sui. He decided to divide the troops into three routes: Li Shouxin's 1st Army was deployed in the Suidongxinghe area as the left wing; the 2nd Army of De King was deployed in the area north of Tumuertai in Suibei, and the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army entered Bailingmiao as the right wing; Wang Ying's army was the main force to attack Honggeertu and Tuchengzi. It was planned to seize Honggeertu first, and then Li Shouxin and Dewang's troops were dispatched from Bailingmiao and Xinghe at the same time, and together with Wang Ying's troops, they captured Guisui City in one fell swoop, and then divided troops to occupy Suidong Jining, Suixi Baotou and Hetao areas. And with the implementation of the Japanese invasion plan, the Suiyuan War of Resistance began.

Chiang Kai-shek did not pay enough attention to the abnormal movements of the Japanese and the puppet Mongolian army at first. In Chiang Kai-shek's view, the Japanese's actions in the direction of Chasui were more likely to be preparing to seize Outer Mongolia and then attack the Soviet Union in the north. After all, the historical hatred between Japan and Russia was there, and Japan was always clamoring to rebel against the Soviet Union. At the end of March, the Kwantung Army suffered a loss in the hands of the Soviet army. The actions of the Japanese and puppet Mongolian army should be Japan preparing to retaliate against the Suspension of the Mongolian army.

In addition, the terrain of Suiyuan and existing forces also make it easy to attack and difficult to defend. The Suiyuan Tauneji Plain is under the control of the People's Army in the south and west directions, and the situation is very unfavorable. Yinshan and the vast area north of Daqingshan are also plains, desert areas, vast areas and within the attack range of the puppet Mongolian army, and the situation is also unfavorable. In the plains south of Langshan-Yinshan-Daqingshan and north of the Yellow River, although there are mountains in the north and rivers in the south, they are narrow and long from east to west, and there is no sufficient force to defend.

Lao Chiang not only hoped that the Japanese army would turn north to deal with the Soviet Union after entering Sui, so as to reduce the pressure from the Nanjing authorities, but also believed that the situation in Suiyuan was unfavorable and there was no possibility of being fully adhered to. Therefore, he telegraphed Yan Xishan: "Suiyuan defended the policy of abandoning the policy, and his younger brother wanted to disturb the small enemy, and then annihilate it head-on; if the great enemy formally attacked, he would concisely defend it and select the most important strongholds to defend it. If he could hold it for three months, everything would be accomplished. Therefore, Suiyuan should not give up all of it, nor should it be set up defenses everywhere."

Lao Chiang believed that as long as he could hold it in an important location for three months, the Soviet-Mongolian army, which was threatened by Japan, would inevitably take action, and the situation in Suiyuan would naturally ease.

But when the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident occurred, Chiang Kai-shek discovered that not only did the Japanese in the Guangxi clan, but even Song Zheyuan and Han Fuju in North China were secretly connected with the Guangxi clan and intended to jointly oppose Chiang. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek changed the previous idea of ​​waiting for change in Suiyuan, and instead believed that the Mongolian King De's attempt to seek independence must be curbed. Otherwise, once King De Xuan, Song Zheyuan in Hebei, and Han Fuju in Shandong might also be out of control of the Nanjing authorities. Jia would rush back to Shanxi in northern Shaanxi. By then, not only the entire situation north of the Yellow River would be completely chaotic, but there might also be problems between the Jianghuai.

Realizing that Suiyuan should not be misunderstood, and that it would also use this to intimidate other local forces in North China that are centrifugal, Chiang Kai-shek sent Taiyuan and urged Yan Xishan to increase his troops to Suiyuan.

However, because Chen Cheng was the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression in the border areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ning and Suizhou Provinces, Yan Xishan did not believe what Chiang said. Besides, when the Central Army was in Shanxi, it did not reinforce Suiyuan when there were many Central Army in Shanxi. Now Guan Zhenglin and other troops were transferred to deal with the Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, Chiang Kai-shek asked the Jinsui army to increase its troops. Isn’t this going to use the Japanese to weaken the Jinsui army? Yan Xishan didn’t want to be!

Moreover, shortly after retreating to northern Shaanxi, the Shanxi-Suizhou Army was defending along the river and could not withdraw enough troops to reinforce Suiyuan. After repeated discussions with the Shanxi-Suizhou generals, Yan Xishan still believed that "the increase in Suiyuan will make Shanxi empty is not a fundamental solution."

By July, the puppet Mongolian army's invasion of Suiyuan gradually increased, but the defense allocation promised by Chiang Kai-shek was not seen for a long time. In addition, the Jinsui army was insufficient, so Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi telegrammed Chiang Kai-shek for emergency. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was busy dealing with the incident in Guangdong and Guangxi, and could not transfer troops to support Suiyuan at all!

Without military support, Lao Chiang had a telegram to urge him. In the telegram, he repeatedly explained the principle that if you want to avoid war, you must first fight. He said: "For the deployment of Sui, I thought that I must quickly place more troops on the front line, one to show my determination, and the other to prevent him from committing lightly, and never act in defense, and look at the opponent's strategy of Sui." "At this time, we must deeply examine his only psychology, that is, he dare not sacrifice. If there is a price for sacrifice, then he will

It must not be done. Therefore, I must avoid sacrifice and show my determination to sacrifice first." In order to strengthen Yan Xishan's determination to send troops, Lao Chiang said half-induce and half-intimidly that if Yan Xishan did not increase troops in Suiyuan, "I will not have Suiyuan in the middle of next month, and Jin will not be protected." Later, Lao Chiang even made a clear telegram: "You must not hesitate about Sui's troops. The gains and losses and survival of North China are all here. I must increase the troops of the Fifth Division ahead of Suiyuan to save the crisis."

But if Chiang Kai-shek's words were worn out, Yan Xishan was still hesitant until mid-September. The Japanese army had successively occupied the three eastern provinces and Rehe, and partially occupied Chahar. In May, it launched a large increase in troops in the northeast and the Pingjin area. Now no one dares to guarantee that Japan will not directly invade Suiyuan.

What's more, Yan Xishan had suffered a lot in Chiang Kai-shek before, for fear that he would use the Japanese to weaken the Jinsui Army. Moreover, the Jinsui Army must stabilize the Jin and Sui provinces, and also deploy defenses along the river to prevent the Communist army from advancing east again, and the troops were inevitably insufficient. In particular, Zhang Guotao and He Long had arrived in northern Shaanxi, and their strength increased a lot after the meeting, and there was a shortage of supplies. Maybe he would go on an Eastern Expedition again. This forced Yan Xishan to strengthen prevention along the river. Besides, if the puppet Mongolian army suffered a blow from the Jinsui army, what should the Japanese do if they came directly to Yan Xishan to open a film? At that time, I'm afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would hide away again.

Chiang Kai-shek wanted to take the initiative to defeat the puppet Mongolian army, remove the Japanese's hand that extended to Suiyuan, and then stop the Japanese army's possible actions. Yan Xishan was worried that he would attack the wolf cub and attract the old wolf. Once he annoyed the Japanese, he would provide an excuse for his large-scale military intervention. The unlucky one was Jinsui.

It was not until September 1 that a brigade of artillery in the Central Army arrived in Suiyuan. In mid-October, Tang Enbo's troops who suppressed the Communist Party in Shaanxi, crossed the river and returned to Shanxi, that Yan Xishan began to prepare for the increase of troops in Suiyuan.

Faced with the changes in the situation in Suiyuan, the People's Army, which had just resolved Longnan, also paid close attention. Although Zhao Zhenzhong knew the result of the Suiyuan War of Resistance, who could be sure that the Japanese Kwantung Army's madman who were eager to make merits would not make any monsters?

In order to enhance the confidence of the Shanxi-Sui Army and also to shock the Japanese, Northwest Radio broadcasts a recording of the speech of Zhao Zhenzhong, Chairman of the People's Party and Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army, on October 22:

"The People's Party, the Northwest Government and the People's Army firmly oppose the Nanjing treason government, but even if we fight each other in the future, it is a matter within us Chinese, and we can solve it with closed doors! We will never allow outsiders to intervene!

At the moment, the situation in Suiyuan is turbulent and hostile forces are ready to move. Here, on behalf of the Northwest Party, government and military, I solemnly declare: Suiyuan has been Chinese territory since ancient times. The People's Party, the Northwest Government and the People's Army will never allow hostile forces to undermine our territorial integrity! We will not sit idly by and watch the situation in Suiyuan deteriorate! If necessary, the People's Army will mobilize all forces to resolutely attack the invading forces! The People's Army can eliminate the Soviet aircraft, tanks and cannons, and will not be afraid of any other invading forces!"

Zhao Zhenzhong's speech further improved the Chinese people's understanding of the Northwest, praising the Northwest's move as "the place of justice"! "Brothers fight against the walls and protect their insults from the outside". This famous Chinese saying, which has been circulated for two or three thousand years, has now been confirmed again!

"It's really his voice. I really couldn't imagine it." When I heard Zhao Zhenzhong's speech repeated broadcast on the radio, many people were so amazed. Near the northwest were Fu Zuoyi in Taiyuan, Yu Xuezhong in southern Shaanxi, and Xu Yongchang, Yang Aiyuan and others who had met Zhao Zhenzhong in Shanxi; and in Qingdao, there were Sui Shiqing, Liu Quanfa and others.

Yan Xishan, who had already known each other, had a stone in his heart. With Zhao Zhenzhong's speech, at least the Shanxi-Sui army did not have to worry about suffering a big loss. However, Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi were even happier. On October 25, Wang Jingguo's troops stationed in Jierzhao area in Suiyuan reported to Yan Xishan that the People's Army had 36 weapons-equipped armored cars and four vehicles of ammunition, and indicated that they were handed over to Suiyuan to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops.

When Yan Xishan heard that each armored car was equipped with three heavy machine guns, two mortars, and could carry more than 20 people, he even sighed. Not to mention the Jinsui Army, even a division of the Central Army may not have so many of these equipment.

"Yisheng, you didn't make friends with Zhao Zhenzhong in vain." Yan Xishan smiled, "When I heard that you were going to fight, all the weapons and equipment were shipped. The work was quite good."

"Mr. Yan is joking, I don't have that much face." Fu Zuoyi said quickly, "This is what I handed over to the combat, not for me. When the battle is over, Yan will be assigned by him."

Fu Zuoyi's attitude made Yan Xishan very satisfied.

The Jinsui Army received both verbal and practical support from the northwest, and had a lot of confidence in his heart. However, in the Northeast Kanto Army headquarters, Chief of Staff Seishiro Itagaki and Deputy Chief of Staff Imamura, the face of the serious expression, analyzed the situation about the northwest to Commander Kenyoshi Ueda.

"From the intelligence sent back by Tanaka Takaki from Huade, the People's Army is now building a defense line from western Mongolia to western Suiyuan and northern Ningxia. From a regional perspective, if our army enters Suiyuan now, it is indeed possible to trigger a strong reaction from the People's Army. Moreover, it will further stimulate all forces in China to ease their conflicts and jointly fight against the imperial team. This will increase the difficulties of our army and bring unnecessary losses." Imamura Jun analyzed.

"What is the combat power of that People's Army? How do they deal with Soviet aircraft and tanks?" Kenyoshi Ueda asked.

"The strength in the squadron is good, but it should not be comparable to the imperial soldiers." Seishiro Itagaki said confidently, "This department annihilated the Soviet army in Xinjiang. Due to geographical reasons, intelligence personnel cannot obtain accurate information. However, they should have succeeded by relying on the advantage of the number of troops. After all, only a few thousand people entered Xinjiang by the Soviet Union."

Itagaki said, and found that the information about the northwest was indeed insufficient, so he made up his mind to send elite forces to the northwest again.

"From the scope occupied by the People's Army and the previous combat situation with other squadrons, its total strength should be around 350,000. This department has some bombers and transport aircraft that have been changed from passenger aircraft, but there are currently no fighter aircraft. Overall, if there are not many imperial soldiers sent to Suiyuan, the department will pose a threat to the imperial team." Imamura continued.

In any case, the People's Army actually destroyed more than 6,000 Soviet troops, captured 70 aircraft, and killed 30 tanks. With this result alone, the senior management of the Kwantung Army could not take it lightly. Don't forget that in half a year, the 3,000 troops of each detachment of Shi were forced to run back to fight all over the ground. The People's Army that could destroy the Soviet army would naturally not be easy to match.

"Ichigaki, Imamura, how many troops do you think we need to dispatch to completely eliminate the People's Army?" Kenyoshi Ueda asked while thinking in his heart.

Itagaki and Imamura both looked at each other and thought for a moment. Itagaki said, "If the People's Army is scattered everywhere and dispatching two divisions of our headquarters will be enough to defeat them one by one. If the unit gathers together to compete with the imperial team, it should be necessary to have 3 or 4 divisions."

In the Great Wall War, 300,000 squadrons were defeated by 50,000 Japanese troops. In Itagaki's view, even if the People's Army's combat power is twice as powerful as other squadrons, if the convergence is concentrated, the Kanto Army will be enough to dispatch up to 4 divisions.

"Ichigaki, don't forget that even after half a year of supplementation, our troops have only 6 divisions!" Ueda Kenji reminded, "We not only have to face the Soviets, but also deal with those in the country. Before the empire is fully prepared and our troops are strengthened and sufficient to cope with the pressure on the Soviet Union, we cannot launch a large-scale army to Suiyuan!"

The 26th Mutiny was suppressed for only half a year. At this time, the Kwantung Army was not able to "wield alone" rashly, and it was not necessary to let the military headquarters take action without permission like the September 18th that year.

"Commander, how many troops are appropriate for us to dispatch?" Itagaki was a little unwilling to give up.

"No soldier will be sent except for the consultants sent before!" Ueda Kenyoshi decided, "If the troops of the 'Mongolian Military Government' can make progress in Suiyuan, our troops can follow up after they declared independence. But before that, no soldier will be sent!"

After a moment of pause, Kenyoshi Ueda looked at the unconcealed disappointment of Itagaki and Imamura's faces, and then mentioned: "Confronting the People's Army too early will only create opportunities for the Su-Meng army, which is not in the interests of the empire!"

As Kenyoshi Ueda set the tone of the Kwantung Army being out of the matter, the so-called "Mongolian Military Government" mob was doomed to be destroyed.

In fact, if we were to confront King De, Li Shouxin, Wang Ying and other "troops" with a total of less than 20,000, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army alone could completely defeat the entire game. The reason why Nanjing and Taiyuan took the initiative to attack or responded passively, and how many more troops were endlessly debated, was not how powerful the troops of King De, Li Shouxin, Wang Ying and others were, but were worried about their main Kwantung Army.

However, King De, Li Shouxin, Wang Ying and other troops were not aware of the change in their master's attitude and were still arrogant. The Suiyuan Anti-Japanese War was fighting these traitors who recognized the thief as their fathers and traitors, and no Japanese army directly participated in the war.

In early November, the puppet Mongolian army began to mobilize from Chabei to Bailingmiao, Shangdu, Nanhaoqian and other places in Suiyuan, intending to attack Taolin, Xinghe and Jining, and Suiyuan's military situation suddenly became tense. On the 5th, King De called Fu Zuoyi to create an excuse for the war of invasion and Suiyuan. In a reply, Fu Zuoyi refuted King De in a reply. Chiang Kai-shek also called King De to persuade and blame him. However, King De still launched an attack on Suiyuan under the instigation of the Kwantung Army adviser.

On November 11, Yan Xishan issued an order on the Suiyuan combat sequence as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission and Director of the Taiyuan Pacification Office:

1. Fu Zuoyi was the commander-in-chief of the Jinsui bandit suppression army and the commander of the 1st Route Army. The 1st Route was the 35th Army. The 205th Brigade owed the 407th Regiment and the 7th Brigade, and the 10th Regiment and the 21st, 29th Regiment and the Small Artillery Brigade owed the 1st and 3rd Squadrons.

2. Tang Enbo was the commander of the 2nd Route Army, commanding the 13th Army of the headquarters, attached to the 72nd Division and the 27th Artillery Regiment.

3. Li Fuying was the commander of the 3rd Route Army, commanding the 6th Division of the headquarters, attached to the 24th Artillery Regiment and the 1st and 3rd Squadrons of the Small Cannons.

4. Wang Jingguo was the commander of the reserve army and the 70th Division of the command headquarters owed the 205th Brigade. The 407th Regiment of the brigade was directly commanded by the division and was attached to the Independent Brigade.

5. Zhao Chengshou was the commander of the cavalry army, and Men Bingyue was the deputy commander, commanding the 1st Cavalry Division, the 2nd and 7th Divisions.

The main force of the participating troops was composed of Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army and Zhao Chengshou's cavalry army. The 35th Army had two brigades and 6 regiments. The army and the cavalry army each stationed in Suidong and Suibei fronts. Wang Jingguo led the 70th Division to Baotou in Suixi. Li Fuying led the 6th Division to gather in Gaoyang, Tianzhen and other places in northern Shanxi. Tang Enbo led the 13th Army from Shaanxi to Shanxi and drove to Suiyuan along Tongpu Road.

It seems that Yan Xishan mobilized a lot of troops, but in fact, Fu Zuoyi and Zhao Chengshou who participated in the war had nearly 20,000 troops, which was basically on par with the puppet Mongolian army.

However, Fu Zuoyi's command level is not as good as King De, Li Shouxin and Wang Ying. Thinking back to the beginning, even the Japanese did not get a good job under Fu Zuoyi during the Great Wall War, let alone these Japanese lackeys?

With the armored cars provided by the Northwest as a weapon of chasing, the Suiyuan war went smoother than the original history. It started on November 15th and ended on December, ending 11 days earlier than the original history.
