But the army is preparing, and the Kwantung Army's actions are gradually accelerating!

In the spring of 1931, the former commander of the Kwantung Army, Takashi Hisashikari, was transferred. The new commander of the Kwantung Army was Shigeru Honjo, who had served as Zhang Zuolin's adviser and planned the 1926 Takukou Incident!

At the same time, the Japanese military quietly transferred the cold-resistant Second Division from Hokkaido, Japan, to North Korea. The headquarters was located in Dandong, and the division commander was Lieutenant General Domon Jiro.

What most people don’t even know is that the commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Domen, and the current Chief of the Jilin Provincial Governor’s Office, Xi Qia, have a teacher-student relationship! A countercurrent is slowly taking shape under the deep water, but at this time, the land of the Central Plains is

Not peaceful!

Just after the Lunar New Year, the Guangzhou government immediately announced that it would unite Guangxi, Guangdong and the remaining northwest military headquarters with Li Zongren as the commander-in-chief and the Northwest Army Lu Zhonglin as the chief of general staff to launch a new northern expedition! The target was directly at the Nanjing government!

The Nanjing side could not bear to show weakness and immediately sent electricity to the whole country! With Liu Zhi as the commander-in-chief and He Yingqin as the chief of general staff, the Guangzhou government will implement the "anti-rebellion strategy"! "We are determined to eradicate the thieves who are rebellious in the party and state at all costs."

!”

On March 28, 1931, the Guangzhou government gathered in Guangdong, Guangxi and the northwest army, a total of more than 300,000 troops, said to be 500,000, attacked Nanjing! The army was divided into three groups, namely the northwest region, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Heading towards Nanjing!

Nanjing gathered an army of 200,000 to attack the Guangzhou government!

In early April, the two sides fought in Hengyang, Hunan! At that time, Guangfu's 100,000 troops directly fought against the 80,000 defenders of Nanjing! For a time, Hengyang was filled with mourning and corpses piled up in mountains!

The two sides were in a stalemate in Hengyang until May, when the situation finally changed. Zhang Xueliang was reorganized into the 29th Army, and the remaining troops of the 29th Army, with Song Zheyuan as its commander, Zhang Zizhong, Liu Ruming, Zhao Dengyu, etc. suddenly called up the power and announced their rebellion against Chiang!

And obtained a large amount of arms and supplies, and headed towards Nanjing from North China! Immediately, Pang Bingxun, commander of the 40th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, announced his rebellion against Chiang Kai-shek! After that, his army expanded crazily from only one division to four divisions!

From North China to Nanjing!

The whole country was shocked for a while! At this time, the troops in Guangfu had increased to nearly 400,000, while Nanjing still maintained more than 200,000 troops! It was not that Nanjing had no troops, but that the other warlords from various places who had unclear attitudes still needed

Monitor!

The successive defections in various places made Nanjing quite vigilant! Then the Nanjing government once again dispatched 100,000 troops to the front line, and then encountered 80,000 Cantonese troops from the Guangzhou government near Ganzhou, Jiangxi!

The two sides started a war again. At the same time, the Nanjing anti-rebellion army, with Chen Tiaoyuan and Chen Cheng as commanders and chiefs of staff, led 30,000 troops to intercept Song Zheyuan and Pang Bingxun who were coming from North China! At the same time, Chiang Zhongzhi sent a telegram to Shandong Province Chairman Han Fuju to actively resist.

Song and Pang's troops!

But what Chiang Zhongzheng didn’t expect was that after getting the telegram, Han Fuju directly sent a telegram to the whole country! He announced that he would join the New Northern Expeditionary Army to fight against Chiang! and immediately sent troops! This almost made Chiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing vomit blood!

He couldn't understand why Han Fuju, who was firmly on his side during the Central Plains War, suddenly betrayed him?! But this was not the time to consider these issues. Fortunately, Chen Tiaoyuan's troops had already arrived in Xuzhou!

After being able to withstand Song and Pang's troops, they urgently called Chiang Zhongzheng for support! Otherwise, when Han Fuju's large troops arrived, the situation would be unimaginable!

But now Chiang Zhongzheng has no one to send! Hengyang is in a fight, and not to mention the 20,000 troops that have just been supported, the situation in Ganzhou is not optimistic! Where does he have any soldiers to deploy?!

So Chiang Zhongzheng had to urgently ask Zhang Qun to ask Zhang Xueliang to send troops immediately, but the Guangfu side did not touch the interests of the Feng clique in North China from the beginning. Even when Song and Pang rebelled against Chiang, they did not attack the Feng clique's territory but

Go directly towards Nanjing!

All this made Zhang Xueliang think about sitting on the sidelines. Who told Chiang Zhongzheng to trick him when he was on Zhongzhong Road?! If Zhang Xueliang didn't hold a grudge at all, that would be a lie.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang avoided seeing Zhang Qun when he came to see him at first. It was not until Zhang Qun was forced to wait at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion that Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to meet Zhang Qun once.

What they discussed in secret during this meeting is unknown to outsiders, nor is it known what benefits Nanjing promised Zhang Xueliang. In short, the fact is that Zhang Xueliang was tempted, and that night he convened the veterans of the Feng Faction for discussion. At this time, as the Feng Xueliang

However, the soldiers who were important generals were unable to come back because of the Soviet troops gathering in Outer Mongolia.

Since April, the Soviet Far East Special Group Army gathered at Lake Baikal in Siberia has been getting ready to move! The soldiers have held several exercises. Although there are only skilled soldiers, who knows whether the Soviet army will fake it for real?!

After all, the Slavs did many of these things. The Soviet-Finnish War was a typical example of the Slavs' treachery. Therefore, the soldiers did not dare to take it lightly and were wary of the Soviet Union finding an excuse to suddenly launch an attack!

Entering June, Zhang Xueliang finally negotiated terms with Nanjing! He immediately called the whole country and claimed to support the Nanjing government, and then announced that most of the Northeast Army's elite troops, except for the Third Mongolian Army, would enter the country!

The whole country was shocked for a moment! And Junzi felt faintly worried. Zhang Xueliang decided this matter without discussing it with him! This made Junzi feel a little weird. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple

After the power was sent out, Zhang Xueliang received the telegram from Jun Zi. In the study of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Xueliang looked at Jun Zi's telegram without saying a word for a long time. Then he saw the telegram read:

"Sixth Brother Jian:

My brother was far away in Outer Mongolia, and I was surprised when I suddenly heard that my brother was planning to invade the army again. My brother thought, this matter is quite inappropriate. Although Manchuria is now on the right track, it is just a fire cooking oil, and flowers blooming with brocade.

The Soviet Union is in danger outside, but there is a glimpse of the East within! The battle on the Eastern Road has severely damaged our Manchurian vitality and has not recovered to this day. The British and American countries show favor to me, but they only care about our resources in Manchuria.

Therefore, the elite of our Northeastern Army must remain in Manchuria and cannot be touched lightly. No matter life or death, matters within the pass are of no concern to us in Manchuria. Even if they enter the pass, only part of them has entered. The rest of the army cannot be touched lightly! My sincere brother

Brother Wanwang, please think twice about what you are thinking! Absolutely!

My brother, I will be in Cullen in June."

After reading this telegram, Zhang Xueliang would be lying if he said he was not frightened. But the conditions offered by Nanjing were too tempting! Moreover, the telegram had already been sent out, and he did not want to take back what he said.

.

After a long silence, Zhang Xueliang suddenly stood up and shouted toward the door: "Chen Dazhang!!"

Then I saw Zhang Xueliang's confidential adjutant Chen Dazhang quickly walked into the study room and stood at attention with "Pa!"! He said to Zhang Xueliang in a deep voice: "Commander..."

"Dazhang, help me call my uncle and the others... ask them to come over immediately! Just say that I have something to discuss with them!"

"Yes!" Chen Dazhang stood at attention solemnly, and then slowly walked out of the study. He led the guards from the Marshal's Mansion to disperse. The veterans of the Fengtian Department who lived in Fengtian City all received the invitation from the guards.

This kind of thing was not uncommon during this period, so the generals hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed to the Marshal's Mansion with the guards. In the Tiger Hall, Zhang Xueliang sat on a chair and pondered, seeing these veteran generals

Everyone is here.

Zhang Xueliang handed over the telegram in his hand to them for circulation. Among these people was Xi Qia who hurriedly came to Fengtian to discuss the matter. Xi Qia couldn't help but be surprised after reading the telegram! But there was no trace of emotion on his face

He didn't show it, instead he smiled and said nothing more.

After everyone had finished circulating, Zhang Xueliang said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone knows what Junzi thinks. You are all the talents that the old commander relied on when he was still alive! Therefore, I ask you uncles to teach me how to do it.

.”

Everyone was silent after reading Jun Zi's telegram. It is true! What Jun Zi said is not unreasonable. Although the Northeast Army seems to be beautiful now, there are actually countless crises hidden under the scenery! And the biggest crisis is that there is no one.

The troops can withstand the Soviet or Japanese attack with confidence!

The only unit that could withstand the Soviet attack, the Third Army was severely damaged in the Battle of Harbin! At this time, it was forced to be stationed in Outer Mongolia to defend the newly formed Soviet Far East Army.

Once the Northeast Army enters the border, what problems arise and how should they be solved?! Everyone is thinking about it! Who dares to guarantee that once the main force of the Northeast Army leaves Manchuria, there won't be any accidents here?!

"Actually, Junzi doesn't know much about the situation." At this time, Xiqia spoke, and Xiqia smiled at Zhang Xueliang and said softly: "Let's talk about the Soviets first!"

"Since the Battle of Harbin, the Soviet Army's vitality has been severely damaged! Although the Far East Army was later restored, it still takes time for the newly formed troops to form combat effectiveness, and now Junzi's Third Army is stationed in Outer Mongolia. No matter what the Soviet Army has

We don’t dare to act rashly with our thoughts! We can rest assured about this.”

Everyone couldn't help but nodded after hearing Xiqia's words, which made sense! Then Xiqia smiled and continued softly: "Moreover, the agreement between us and the Soviets was signed under the witness of Britain and the United States. If the Soviets

If they want to violate the agreement, they will not sit idly by and ignore it compared to Britain and the United States. No matter how you calculate it, the chance of the Soviet Union taking action is very small..."

Indeed, after Jing Xiqia said this, Zhang Xueliang also felt that the Soviet Union was unlikely to take action. After all, the agreement was signed by Britain and the United States, and now the two countries have invested a lot in Manchuria! Once the war breaks out, the two countries will not do anything.

Maybe outside the world.

Therefore, this item can be completely eliminated, and Xiqia continued to smile at the crowd and said: "Let's talk about the Japanese. Originally, they had some small moves, but after we introduced American warships and fighter jets, they vigorously launched a war with Britain and the United States.

After the cooperation, the Japanese have obviously retreated. We can see this from the fact that they withdrew the Kwantung Army to North Korea. As for the Kwantung Army taking action when our Northeastern Army leaves the border, this is even more impossible!

"

Then Xiqia smiled and said to everyone: "The Kwantung Army currently remaining in Manchuria is only about 4,000 people, which is barely enough to maintain public order in Manchuria. (Temple) How can they launch a war with this small force?! Even if

If they are forced to launch, it only takes one partial division to return to Manchuria to completely defeat them! Moreover, our Northeast Army has just introduced new American fighters, so we can still try our hand at fighting!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing Xiqia's words. That's true! Since the P-26 gradually formed combat effectiveness under the training of American pilots, the Kwantung Army was obviously extremely afraid! Even the number of air fleets deployed in North Korea has increased, several times

He also sent a note to the Northeastern Army hoping that the Northeastern Army's planes would not cross the border.

How proud! The veterans present couldn't help but feel grateful to the soldiers in Outer Mongolia. This little bastard was really amazing! This battle was fought in every step, and he even managed to do business well!

The Americans have attracted him, and they have given him loans to build so many industries! He even sold the latest aircraft. These are achievements that the old man failed to achieve even though he was still alive! This guy is stunned!

It's done!

"Moreover, now we have very in-depth exchanges with Britain and the United States on economic and trade exchanges, loans, etc.! I believe these will also be taken into consideration by the Japanese." Seeing that everyone was speechless, Xiqia continued with a smile: "If the Japanese are really serious

Now that they are taking action, will the British and American sides see their investments in danger?! I’m sure those plutocrats will never force their Congresses to go to war!”

At this time, Yuan Jinkai also smiled and said: "This is a great thing! The Japanese should not dare to act rashly now. After all, most of the things the Japanese import come from the United States! If they are at odds with the United States, they will undoubtedly eat it.

Big loss! It’s impossible for the Japanese not to consider this issue.”

Everyone couldn't help but nodded after hearing the words. Yuan Jinkai was the leader of the Wenzhi Sect of Fengcheng! His words were naturally more convincing than Xiqia, and Zhang Xueliang had confidence in his heart at this time. Therefore, it was seen that Zhang Xueliang was right about

Yuan Jinkai smiled and said: "Uncle Zhaomaid, what do you think we should do next?!"

Yuan Jinkai couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard Zhang Xueliang's question. If the Zhang family and Zhao Erxun were included, Yuan Jinkai was already the chief think tank of the three generations of Manchu lords! This honor is not something ordinary people can have, although Zhang Xueliang is not obedient to his words.

But on most things, I ask for my opinion.

And he would help him handle most of the things, which made Yuan Jinkai feel that he was taken seriously. After the fact, later Yuan Jinkai defected to Japan after September 18th, which may have something to do with Zhang Xueliang's snubbing him and excluding him from the upper echelons of the Fengcheng clan.

.

"Commander-in-Chief, actually the soldier's concern is well-intentioned. I believe he will understand if you explain it to him. This is not a big problem." Then Yuan Jinkai smiled at Zhang Xueliang and said: "We should just send troops as planned.

That is, if the military commander is worried about Manchuria, he can leave it to the auxiliary commander. I believe that the military commander will have nothing to say."

Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but nodded when he heard Yuan Jinkai's words. Yuan Jinkai's words were mature and prudent. Junzi's concern was also well-intentioned. Of course, he did not send a report to Junzi. The main reason was that he knew that he would object to this matter.

At that time, he was very opposed to the Middle East Road. Even during his contact with Junzi, Zhang Xueliang felt that Junzi was slightly defensive and disgusted with Nanjing. These made Zhang Xueliang not want to tell Junzi these things. Maybe he also had
