Chapter 119 Kaifeng Conference
Yang Hucheng thought it was true that he had to pull the pole up the mountain by relying on these brothers and guns to become the head of the province today. The more than 60,000 brothers under his command have now suffered more than half of the casualties (plus the fleeing, surrendered, captured, and jumped into the river). What would it be like to defend Yulin? Without his soldiers, he would not have gone to learn from the old Northwest Army Feng Yuxiang to Nanjing to be a famous military committee member.
Thinking of this, Yang Hucheng asked, "Do you think this Yan'an can be guarded?"
As soon as these two people heard this, they understood that General Yang did not want to defend Yan'an. Feng Qinzai immediately shook his head and said, "Commander, Yan'an has no danger."
So the remaining 30,000 people of the Little Northwest Army retreated to Xi'an and ordered Principal Jiang to give Yan'an to the Japanese devils regardless of the orders. During this period, the principal also promoted Yang Hucheng to the second-level general of the army. Yang Hucheng ignored this. A second-level general could eat or drink as water. He continued to order retreat. On the third day after evacuating Yan'an, the Japanese devils' troops entered Yan'an. The last gateway to northern Shaanxi Province was also captured.
As Yan'an was occupied by the Japanese, a large number of escapes began to appear in Xi'an City. Everyone supported the elderly and children, took the children, or walked, and began to flee to the south. Yang Hucheng also ordered the troops to seize the time to take away all the provincial government's finances and taxes, and at the same time brought gold, silver, copper coins and a large number of paper money from several banks in Xi'an City. The property was filled with 30 carts and was about to drive out of Xi'an City. When they arrived first, they were stopped by Zhang Zhi, the central part of the reorganized 71st Army who arrived first.
Zhang Zhizhong took a reorganized brigade and a guard regiment to Xi'an first by train along the Longhai Line. Unexpectedly, he saw the scene of the soldiers and civilians in Xi'an rushing to escape, and directly ordered the reorganized brigade to block the city gate and guard regiment to control the railway station.
After Zhang Zhizhong controlled the situation, he brought a company guard to meet Yang Hucheng, the governor of Shaanxi Province, and asked in person: "What are you doing when you don't set up positions at the city gate outside the city to fight against the Japanese invasion?"
Yang Hucheng said with confidence: "Now the Japanese invaders are powerful, we are moving to Baoji Tianshui Hanzhong to preserve our strength and continue to fight against Japan."
Zhang Zhizhong asked, "What should you do if you run so far to fight against Japan, if the Japanese don't come?"
Yang Hucheng straightened his neck: "It will be here sooner or later."
Zhang Zhizhong thought, you are just a person who leads the way for the Japanese. Zhang Zhizhong said, "Okay, now you don't have to go so far to fight against Japan. Just stay in Xi'an to fight against Japan. Just hand over the outer positions to our 71st Army, so that's all right."
Yang Hucheng wanted to say that it was not possible, but when he saw the murderous guards, Yishui's machine gun box cannon, he nodded and ordered the troops to be withdrawn from the city - the most important thing was that the railway station was controlled by others. Zhang Zhizhong immediately generated a power to Nanjing and told him about the current situation in Xi'an. After receiving the telegram, Chairman Jiang also called Yang Hucheng to be responsible for the public security and defense work in Xi'an to cooperate with Zhang Zhizhong's work.
In more than ten days, Yang Hucheng's troops of Shaanxi Army lost four cities, including Baotou, Yimeng, Yulin and Yan'an. General Asahi Shimbun, Ichishiro Ichishiro praised it as rare in the world and unparalleled on the ground. He claimed that half of the division was invincible in the world, as if he could conquer the world with only one Itagaki Seishiro and the 18th Division. Principal Jiang had no idea about this. The day after Yan'an was lost, Principal Jiang suddenly announced that an anti-Japanese military combat meeting was held in Kaifeng, Henan before the end of the month. Military chief officials from all war zones were to be present, so of course, the Xi'an appeasement director of Shaanxi Governor Xi'an was also included.
Originally, these were all meetings that generals could only attend, but unexpectedly, Jin Batian, who was only rank of lieutenant colonel, also received a post from the King of Hell. Looking at the post, Jin Batian asked: "This is all meetings for generals, isn't it appropriate for me to go?"
Song Ziwen waved his hand: "There is no level of statement in this meeting. Your identity is special. Even if you only have the title of second lieutenant, you will have to attend."
Jin Batian knew that he was named. This was so depressing. If he didn't go to Nanjing, he wouldn't want to see the principal. Sijiu City was so good, he ran around. Forget it, I guess he would just let it go. Just go. This Hongmen Banquet may not be for him.
After getting ready, I took Valme, Melia, Jin Batian, Song Ziwen and others to take a modified transport plane that was not comfortable to fly to Kaifeng, Henan.
Because the airplane's sealing performance is average, it's cooler when it comes to the sky. There are also flight attendants who have been transformed by the transport plane. At this time, the flight attendants are all selected from one hundred from the army. Of course, they are still incomparable to the two around Jin Batian. Jin Batian, who touches the parachute under his feet, always feels that it is not safe here.
When he arrived in Kaifeng, he was assigned to the hotel to rest. At 8:30 pm, Jin Batian was woken up by the waiter to inform him to attend the meeting. He got in the car and Jin Batian checked the dragon scale armor and other items on his body from time to time. When he arrived at the entrance of the provincial government, Jin Batian got out of the car, and two female guards were taken to the adjutant's room on the side to rest. Jin Batian entered the provincial government and saw a document posted outside the door of the conference room, saying, "According to the senior military meeting tonight, for the sake of caution, all generals present should not bring weapons into the conference hall. They should temporarily hand over their own self-defense weapons to the deputy chief for safekeeping, and give temporary receipts, and retrieve them with receipts after the meeting."
Seeing that Song Ziwen and others had handed over the guns in front, Jin Batian also honestly handed over the two box cannons to the adjutant.
Because he has the rank of lieutenant colonel, Jin Batian doesn't have to think about sitting in the bottom position after entering the conference room. He looked at his first position and had already sat there. A lieutenant general looked at him without looking at him as if he hadn't seen Jin Batian. Jin Batian looked at him and didn't recognize him, and it was hard to disturb him.
After waiting for a while, everyone arrived one after another. As soon as the back door of the conference room opened, the brightness in the room increased a little more as a person walked into the conference room. After the person reached the main seat, everyone stood up and shouted: "Principal, Commissioner."
Jin Batian understood that this was Chairman Jiang, and he was indeed a great man. No wonder the house lighted up as soon as he entered. He also got up and called out to the commissioner.
Jiang Wenzun waved his hand and everyone sat down again. Jiang Wenzun said, "Anti-Japanese resistance is the unshirkable responsibility of every general of us, but a senior general gave up the natural danger of the Yellow River, disobeyed the order, and lost several cities in succession, which allowed the Japanese invaders to enter Shaanxi smoothly, with extremely bad influence and wavered the rear. This responsibility should be borne by someone."
Jin Batian said it was okay and it was okay, but he didn't say he was. He looked at the beginning of the right thing in the city of Sijiu City. Jin Batian had just started to think about it here, and the lieutenant general around him stood up and said, "I will be responsible for the Yimeng, Yulin, Yan'an, if I don't guard it. Who will be responsible for the Northeast Mongolian?"
"Bang" Jiang Gong slapped the table in anger: "Northeast Mongolia, there are naturally some people in charge. I will ask who is responsible if I lose it in northern Shaanxi."
Jin Batian knew who this person was after a flash of his mind. It turned out that he was a regular visitor in the newspaper these days, and he was famous for not resisting the general.
Yang Hucheng wanted to be stubborn, and a second-level general next to him stopped him and said, "Zhongxiang, the commissioner is on the fire. Come to my office for a rest first."
While speaking, the second-level general who was kind and gentle pulled the stubborn donkey lieutenant general with dissatisfaction on his face.
