Chapter 540 539 [Worry]

Let's turn our attention back to China.

In mid-March, the Red Army broke the Kuomintang's fourth "encirclement and suppression campaign." The Central Soviet Area and the Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi Soviet Areas joined together, and the Red Army quickly grew to more than 80,000 people.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government was in dire straits, and Chang Kaishen and Wang Zhaoming discussed again and made up their minds to "suppress the bandits" with all their strength. Chang Kaishen even declared: "To fight against Japan, we must first suppress the bandits. Before the bandits are eliminated, we must never speak of resistance to Japan. Those who violate the law will be punished with the most severe punishment.

At the end of March, an epic incident happened in Northeast China. The protagonist of the incident was a Japanese named Ita Sukeo.

Ita Sukao served in the Kwantung Army's Jiandao Transport Team, and his hidden identity was the Japanese Communist Party. He smuggled 100,000 rounds of ammunition from the Kwantung Army to the anti-Japanese guerrillas of our party in a car, and then committed suicide. He left a suicide note and wrote: "I really want to meet you and defeat the common enemy together. But I was Surrounded by fascist monsters, there is no way out. I decided to commit suicide, and I donated the 100,000 rounds of ammunition I brought to your army. It is hidden in the pine forest in the north, and I wish the sacred communist cause an early success."

The Dongman anti-Japanese guerrillas buried Mr. Ita Sukao, held a memorial service, and renamed Majia Datun Primary School as Yitian Primary School.

This incident was widely reported in left-wing publications, but other newspapers and magazines could only consciously ignore it, because it was easily blocked by the authorities. Even so, Ita Sukeo's righteous deed has won wide acclaim from the Chinese people.

Zhou Hexuan was also filled with emotion, although most Japanese citizens are responsible for the war of aggression. But there are still a small group of Japanese friends who have contributed to China's war of resistance. These Japanese friends deserve our respect.

In early May, Zhang Xueliang basically gave up opium, and took his wife Yu Fengzhi to Europe for investigation.

The Nanjing Nationalist Government took advantage of the situation and established the Beiping "Government Affairs Reorganization Committee" to strengthen the control over the government affairs of the provinces in North China. To put it bluntly, Chang Kaishen and Wang Zhaoming wanted to control North China, and they desperately wanted to poach Zhang Xueliang's corner.

The key person who was sent to seize power in North China was Huang Yu, who was from the Tongmenghui. He was the Minister of Education of the Beiyang Government and the Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Northern Expedition. This gentleman is Chang Kaishen's sworn brother, who was dismissed because of the "Jinan tragedy", and is now being reactivated.

Huang Yu had two missions on this trip. One was to seize the civil affairs in North China, and the other was to stabilize the internal and external situation in North China. Army and Northwest Army.

Zhang Xueliang didn't dare to resist openly, so he could only resist quietly.

After Huang Yu came to North China, he was very depressed to find that he was completely unable to intervene in the civil affairs of North China. Even the various orders he issued will be obeyed and disobeyed by the people below, and it is just a display.

At this time, Beiping had become the largest opium trading base in North China. On the grounds of anti-drugs, Huang Yu applied to Chang Kai for the positions of mayor of Beiping and director of the railway bureau, and launched a vigorous anti-drug operation.

Anti-drug, of course, is just a cover.

Huang Yu's true purpose was soon revealed. He sharply reprimanded Beiping officials for their ineffectiveness in drug control, and transferred two officials from Qingdao to serve as the chief of the Beiping Public Security Bureau and members of the Beiping Army Branch.

This is to control the police force and garrison in Peking! In addition, the mayor of Beiping and the director of the railway bureau are both from Nanjing, which means that all the administration, finance, police and garrison of Beiping have been taken over.

Those officials under Zhang Xueliang directly bombed. On the day Yu Jin took over as the director of the Public Security Bureau, more than 800 people surrounded the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

After much wrestling, Huang Yu was forced to make concessions. All the police chiefs appointed by Zhang Xueliang and Huang Yu were dismissed, and the position was replaced by Chang Kaishen's nephew.

Even so, Peiping was almost infiltrated by Chang Kaishen.

The mayor of Beiping, the chief of the railway bureau, the chief of the public security bureau, the chief of the gendarmerie, the military branch...the heads of these departments were all replaced by Chang Kaishen's direct descendants.

Zhang Xueliang suffered heavy losses this time, and when he returned from his visit to Europe, Beiping no longer had the surname Zhang, and the banner of the Great King had changed on the top of the city.

When Huang Yu was working as a shit stirrer in Beiping, the Blue Shirts Club led by Dai Li also shook Beiping.

After two years of development, the Blue Clothes Society has rapidly expanded to the north, and there are even signs of their activities in the northeast. For example, the anti-Japanese hero Ma Zhanshan was successfully evacuated from the Northeast with the help of the Blue Shirts Society.

Now the Blue Clothes Society has done another major event, successfully assassinating the traitor Zhang Jingyao in Beiping.

Zhang Jingyao was the one who threw Zhou Hexuan's work by the side of the road when he failed to visit Zhou Hexuan. This guy had defected to Wu Peifu, Zhang Zongchang, and Zhang Zuolin successively, and now he has defected to the Japanese and participated in the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo. He will soon be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Pingjin Second Army. Peaceful Tianjin.

The Blue Shirts Club is still very strong, and quickly learned the news. Dai Li personally commanded the operation, and Zheng Jiemin was responsible for the implementation. Zhang Jingyao was assassinated in the Liuguo Hotel in Beiping, leaving only Zhang Jingyao's monogamous twelve concubines to divide the family property.

The Blue Shirts Society became famous in the first battle, and its "Eradication of Traitors and National Salvation Corps" was also widely praised, and passionate young people signed up one after another.

At this time, the reputation of the Blue Shirts Society is still relatively positive, but unfortunately, in two or three years, it will become notorious and become a spy organization that will change the face of people.

The day after the traitor Zhang Jingyao was assassinated, Gandhi of India started a 21-day hunger strike to protest the British occupation of India. Not only did it arouse great repercussions in Britain, but even China has Gandhi's supporters. It seems that the Japanese invaders can be defeated by the non-resistance movement.

This is an era of chaotic thinking, and any weird idea can find its supporters.

For example, Britain has many pacifists who support Gandhi. After the September 18th Incident broke out, some British people called for the formation of a world peace brigade. The idea they put forward is to organize an international peace team of hundreds of people to come to China. Everyone does not carry any weapons. They stand in the middle of the military positions of both China and Japan, and use their love and life to influence the Japanese invaders, so as to achieve the withdrawal of Japanese troops and the truce of China. The goal.

There are still many people signing up for this brain-filled peace plan.

It's a pity that this plan to save the world with love had to be shelved because the problem of travel expenses was not resolved in the end. Otherwise, in the battle of Songhu last year, hundreds of pacifists could be seen on the Shanghai battlefield.

It is estimated that by that time, the armies on both sides of China and Japan will be ignorant - where are there so many funny ones?

At the end of May, Feng Yuxiang, Fang Zhenwu and Ji Hongchang established the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese League in Zhangjiakou. Chang Kaishen was furious when he learned about it, because this was a signal for the Northwest Army to come back, and he immediately ordered Huang Yu to ban Feng Yuxiang's Anti-Japanese Alliance at all costs.

However, Feng Yuxiang was very powerful. With Fang Zhenwu as the former commander-in-chief and Ji Hongchang as the former commander-in-chief, he resolutely led his troops to the expedition and successively recovered the lost lands such as Baokang, Baochang, Guyuan and Duolun occupied by the Japanese army.

For a time, Feng Yuxiang, Fang Zhenwu and Ji Hongchang became famous anti-Japanese generals admired by the people.

The central government tried every means to suppress public opinion, forbidding to report Feng Yuxiang's brilliant achievements, and even directly sent troops to attack Feng Yuxiang in early July.

This is what Chang Kaishen did. In order to prevent the Northwest Army from rising again, when the Northwest Army conquered the Japanese and conquered the lost land in succession, the soldiers divided into three groups and stabbed Feng Yuxiang in the back. The Japanese army had completely occupied Rehe Province and partly occupied Chahar Province. The national crisis was at stake, and Chang Kaishen was still actively provoking a civil war.

While resisting the attack of the Central Army, Feng Yuxiang sent Ji Hongchang to continue fighting the Japanese. Ji Hongchang conquered the important town outside the Great Wall that had been lost for 72 days in one fell swoop, and the whole country was inspired by it.

However, under the crazy attack of the Central Army, Feng Yuxiang was finally forced to disband the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Many of its weapons, ammunition and soldiers were taken over by Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, and the 29th Army took this opportunity to expand rapidly.

Zhou Hexuan felt very sad about this, as was Yang Xingfo's assassination.

In order to protect his son, Yang Xingfo was shot several times and died, which paralyzed the China Civil Rights Protection League.

A series of perverse actions of the Kuomintang have aroused collective indignation across the country. Countless progressive people couldn't figure out what Chang Kaishen was trying to do. The vicious and brutal Japanese invaders did not fight, but they specifically attacked the anti-Japanese troops, and even brazenly assassinated such a famous person as Yang Xingfo, who was Mr. Zhongshan's secretary.

Zhou Hexuan's Northeast epic "Black Soil" began to be serialized during this dark period.
