Chapter 217: Blocked Zhangjiakou (Part 2)

"Pain, Liu Ruming, the turtle son, actually did this with me. Damn, my 30,000 troops have made me angry, I'll take him a shot."

Sun Yuanliang, who had a gray face, rarely burst out the swear words of his hometown in Sichuan. He walked around the car with his hands behind his back. He was still saying fiercely: "It turns out that he was worried that Old Xi of Yan would not be willing to borrow the road. Unexpectedly, the son of Liu Ruming came out to block the road. I was going to wipe their 29th Army and help them guard their nests. He even forbidden us to pass through Zhangjiakou. Could it be that we should fly over?"

Chen Xiuwen smiled bitterly after reading the telegram that Chen Sunong had just sent back. Unexpectedly, these warlords were so selfish that they were already dead, and they were still thinking about their own acres of three-point land. The central China region had been turned upside down, and Shanghai and Nanjing were lost. Faced with the embarrassment of the Neon Army, the central government was actively responding and sent heavy troops northward. Song Zheyuan had negotiated with the Japanese in Peking, and there were even the secret agencies of the Neon Army stationed in Zhangjiakou. This war was really ridiculous to the world.

"Military captain, Liu Ruming refused to give way, so he had to report to the principal." Chen Xiuwen banged the telegram in his hand and said with a wry smile.

At this time, Sun Yuanliang slowly calmed down, "Yes, report to the principal and ask the principal to order Liu Ruming to give way. However, Liu Ruming made this happen, I don't know if I can reach Nankou within the specified time." Sun Yuanliang said with a frown.

According to the order of the Military Commission, the 72nd Army must arrive at the Nankou line within ten days, which means that it must arrive at Nankou before November 1. Today is October 27. According to the process of the Forward Regiment Rong 1st Regiment, you can arrive in Datong at noon tomorrow. It will only take two days to change the car from Datong to Nankou. However, now Liu Ruming does not give way, and the troops must gather in Datong and wait for the negotiation results between the Military Commission and Liu Ruming.

"Luan Restoration, should we give the order to Rong Yi Brigade, so that they will stop temporarily after they arrive in Datong tomorrow?" Sun Yuanliang continued to say. Although Rong Yi Division had merged into the 72nd Army, Sun Yuanliang still said to Chen Xiuwen in a negotiated tone.

"Order the troops to stop?" Chen Xiuwen couldn't help thinking. The situation in Peking is about to break out, and the action plan of the 72nd Army had been leaked long before departure. The Neon Army will definitely take corresponding measures. Once the Nankou is occupied by the Neon Army before the 72nd Army arrives, the gates of Nacha, Jin and Sui will be opened.

"Military, the Neon Army has surrounded Peiping heavily, and the 29th Army has no fighting spirit. Once the war starts, it will only take one or two days to fall. If the Neon Army rushes to occupy the Nankou in front of us, what should we do then? If Juyongguan is lost, there will be no danger along Pingsui Road. Our vanguard regiment is expected to arrive in Datong tomorrow afternoon and enter the Chazhou Provincial Department the day after tomorrow. We are reporting to the principal and moving forward. If Liu Ruming allows us to pass the day after tomorrow, it will not waste time. If it is not allowed, then rush over. I want to see if Liu Ruming dares to fire this shot." At the end, a ferocious look flashed on Chen Xiuwen's face.

"What if he dares to fire this shot? Should we really destroy him?" Sun Yuanliang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's okay to say something angry. But now it's a great enemy, and the anti-Japanese war is the first. The principal can even tolerate GCD. The whole nation must establish a united front against Japan. He will never allow us to do this."

"gcd? Anti-Japanese United Front?" Chen Xiuwen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why did I forget him?"

"Who? Who forgot?" Sun Yuanliang asked in surprise.

"Fan Changjiang, reporter Fan? Military Director, do you still remember the "Great Situation of the Northwest in Turbulence" published by Fan Changjiang in the "Ta Kung Pao" at that time, which caused a sensation?" Chen Xiuwen said.

Chen Xiuwen knew that Fan Changjiang was not only a famous war correspondent in the Ta Kung Pao, but also a famous leftist before the war in Shanghai, vigorously advocated anti-Japanese and saving the country. Along the way, Chen Xiuwen also talked with him several times. He also hated the peace talks between the 29th Army and the Japanese. When he was in Wuhan, he had published several reports criticizing Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army. Such news must be unacceptable to him.

"Why don't you remember? The principal was very angry when he saw this article and ordered Xu Enzeng to stare at him. Later, I helped to say hello, and the Party Affairs Investigation Office lifted the follow-up investigation of him. Alas, what do you mean..." Sun Yuanliang was also an extremely smart person. When he was speaking, he suddenly realized the subtext of Chen Xiuwen.

"Yes, we not only have to report to the principal, but we also have to put pressure on Liu Ruming and even the 29th Army through public opinion. If they do not fight against Japan, they also have to stop the Central Army from fighting against Japan. That is traitors and traitors. I don't think this hat is dare to wear either Song Mingxuan or Liu Ruming, right?" Chen Xiuwen sneered.

Sun Yuanliang's eyes lit up immediately and said, "Yes, just do that. As long as we publish it in the newspaper, even if we force ourselves to pass through Zhangjiakou, Liu Ruming would not dare to fire this shot. As long as he fires, he will become a traitor. The crime of traitor is the second Zhang Hanqing."

While Sun Yuanliang ordered that Liu Ruming immediately reported to Chairman Jiang that "refusing friendly troops to defend themselves and affect the war of resistance", he sent an adjutant to invite reporter Fan Da.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Fan Changjiang slapped the table and said, "Refusing friendly troops to defend themselves and deliberately making things difficult for the anti-Japanese troops is simply a traitor. I must expose this despicable and treasonable act. I rushed to the newspaper overnight today and sent it to the newspaper immediately, and will be published on the front page of the Ta Kung Pao tomorrow." Fan Changjiang is the first reporter of the Ta Kung Pao, and he still has this confidence.

Fan Changjiang's reaction was more intense than Chen Xiuwen imagined. He once heard a saying in later generations that a good reporter should be an angry young man, an angry young man who dared to reveal the truth and tell the truth. Chen Xiuwen in later generations was once a fan of Li Dayan. Li Dayan was once an outstanding reporter, but also an angry young man. However, in the environment of later generations, Li Dayan could not be a local famous reporter steadily, and could only become a new intellectual, a top social critic in China, a best-selling writer, the most appealing online blogger, a super popular opinion leader, etc., but the word "was" can only be added to the reporter.

Fan Changjiang also has a bit of Li Dayan style. Chen Xiuwen said: "Reporter Fan, in addition to the Ta Kung Pao, do you have any relationship with newspapers in Peking and Tianjin? Can you publish them in these two places as well. This will have a greater impact and a stronger impact. All readers in Peking and Tianjin can see Liu Ruming's true face. I believe that the power of public opinion will definitely force Liu Ruming to move out of our way to the frontline of the anti-Japanese war."

"There is no problem with this. Before I arrived at Ta Kung Pao, I wrote specifically for the Morning Post, World Daily, and Tianjin Yishi Post. These newspapers and banks have a good relationship with me. I also sent it to them. I believe that I will definitely be in the newspaper tomorrow." Fan Changjiang said with a slight sarcastic look.

"That's so thank you reporter Fan. Now the whole nation is advocating the establishment of an anti-Japanese united front. We really don't want to be a matter of being sad and aggrieved. Whether it is the Central Army or the local forces, they are the national defense forces of China. We should be consistent in our guns, and we should not suspicion or internal friction. Reporter Fan, please. I still say the same thing, your pen and the power of public opinion will definitely make some people come back to the future." Chen Xiuwen hurriedly held Fan Changjiang's hand and spoke righteously and sternly, complimented Fan Changjiang without leaving any trace.

"General Sun, General Chen, don't worry. You are all anti-Japanese heroes, commanding thousands of troops and the Neon Army to fight bloody battles. As a reporter, I want to use the pen in my hand to fight against Japan and reveal the truth." Fan Changjiang also said excitedly.

Wuhan Military Commission, Chairman Jiang is still working at his desk. Now North China is in crisis and East China has lost half of its territory. As the leader of a country, Chairman Jiang is trembling and walking on thin ice.

"Tu tuk." The office door rang, and Chen Xiude, the leader of the second group of the attendant's office, knocked in with a telegram, "Principal, the 72nd Army urgent telegram."

"What's the situation?" Jiang Zhongzheng stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and frowned slightly.

"They are in trouble, and Liu Ruming forbids them to pass through Zhangjiakou." Chen Xiude responded, while respectfully putting the telegram in front of Jiang Zhongzheng.

When Jiang Zhongzheng heard this, he quickly took the telegram and looked.

"My grandma, very bold. What does Liu Ruming want to do? Do you want to be a traitor?" After reading the contents of the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek slapped the table heavily and cursed.

"Principal, the vanguard of the 72nd Army will enter the Cha Province the day after tomorrow. Once it is blocked, it will inevitably be unable to reach the Nankou line at the scheduled time to deploy defense. Nankou is the gateway to Cha, Jin and Sui, and its strategic position is extremely important and must not be missed. Should we directly order Liu Ruming to let the 72nd Army pass unconditionally, and hand over the Huailai and Nankou line to the 72nd Army for defense?" Chen Xiude, a unit that concerns his younger brother, also said carefully.

"Is the order I gave useful? I ordered Song Mingxuan to let him resist, but he was busy withdrawing his troops and asking for peace from the Japanese. It was really a shame to the country." Chiang Kai-shek slapped the telegram heavily on the table and said angrily.

The principal was filled with power and Shen Xiude was frightened by his cleverness and did not dare to say anything. Only Jiang Zhongzheng's heavy breathing was left in the quiet office.

After a long time, Chiang Kai-shek exhaled a heavy breath, looked up at Chen Xiude, who was standing beside him, and said in a gentle tone: "Zhongliang, I was not rushing to you just now. I hate Song Mingxuan, Liu Ruming and others. For personal territory and personal gain, I ignore the safety of the country. You and your brother are both good students and good things."

"Thank you for your praise. The student and the child are not talented, and are willing to share the worries for the principal." Chen Xiude quickly stood at the right hand. Then, he pointed to the telegram on the table with a worried look on his face and said, "Principal, how do you think you should reply to the 72nd Army?"

Chiang Kai-shek picked up the telegram again, pondered for a moment, and took a pen to instruct the telegram that "rejected friendly troops to defend themselves and influence the war of resistance" and said: "This telegram is sent to General Feng Yuxiang, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, for handling." He handed it to Chen Xiude: "You send this telegram to Vice Chairman Feng's home, ask him to handle it, and bring back the handling opinions."

"Yes." Chen Xiude took the telegram and saw it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The principal was still thinking about taking revenge on his brother Huanzhang at this time.

Feng Yuxiang, as a failed party, was forced to lift his military power and step down. After the September 18th Incident, he actively gathered his old subordinates in the name of anti-Japanese war, hoping to revive his strength, but he was forced to resign again under the siege of the Central Army. Although he became the vice chairman of the Military Commission in the 24th year of the Republic of China and once again served as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone during the Battle of Shanghai, he was only known for his reputation and did not have any real power. Therefore, this brother Huanzhang made many public speeches or wrote poems in newspapers to mock Chiang Kai-shek for not resisting Japan, in order to vent his dissatisfaction. Chiang Kai-shek's move was nothing more than because Liu Ruming was a general promoted by Feng Yuxiang's northwest military system back then. Didn't you, Brother Huanzhang, shouting to fight against Japan every day? Now the central government really wants to fight against Japan, but Brother Huanzhang, your old subordinates interfered. Who is really fighting against Japan, or who is singing a high-profile?

Although Chen Xiude knew that Brother Huanzhang was definitely not a good-for-nothing, and the principal did this not a solution to the problem. However, as a subordinate, he could only personally rush to Vice Chairman Feng’s official residence, hand over the telegram to Feng Yuxiang, and wait for Feng’s handling opinions.

Feng Yuxiang, wearing a blue northwest military uniform, took the telegram, looked at Chen Xiude, who was standing in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that your principal wants to take my army! Don't worry, I, Feng Yuxiang, will never be like him, be a favoritist." As he said that, Feng Yuxiang wrote a few words on the telegram, and handed it to Chen Xiude: "This is my opinion on handling it."

Feng Yuxiang's handling opinion was to write down "If the report is true, please handle it according to law."

Seeing his brother Huanzhang's counterattack, Chiang Kai-shek was amused. Isn't this a common method for political hooligans? Now that the enemy is in front of him, Chiang Kai-shek can only appease the various forces in North China, in order to resist Japan. If Liu Ruming is really wiped out and handled according to law, wouldn't this be destroyed by himself? In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek had to call his brother Huanzhang in person and ask him to turn things around, let Liu Ruming release him as soon as possible, and assist the 72nd Army in the city of Changcheng.

Fortunately, after receiving a call from Jiang Zhongzheng, Brother Huanzhang thought he had both face and inner thoughts, so he reluctantly agreed and asked his original deputy Lu Zhonglin to go to Zhangjiakou to persuade Liu Ruming.
