Han Fuju immediately glared in displeasure and said, "The Japanese army on the south road will soon reach Bengbu, and if the Japanese army on the north road passes through Jinan, the two roads will be sandwiched between each other, how can I stop helping?

The Yimeng mountain area is poor, and it is impossible to raise food and wages on the spot. Even if we survived starvation, wouldn’t the Japanese eat us as stuffing for buns? "

Hearing these words, Li Zongren frowned, only to realize that things were worse than imagined, but at this time he could only persuade him with kind words:

"Brother Xiang Fang, your Third Army is strong and strong. As long as all the soldiers work together and rely on the geographical advantages, you can still make a difference! Please also Commander Han to put the overall situation first!"

Chapter 250 The East is not bright and the West is bright

"Sir, I don't like to hear your words! Our Third Army has fought bloody battles with the Japanese devils for more than two months, annihilating more than [-] enemies. This record can be achieved in the whole country!"

Han Fuju was also very upset, and said angrily, and then said:

"Sir, on the contrary, when we fought the Japanese devils with real swords and guns, Chairman Jiang transferred the heavy artillery brigade. Did he want us to use rifles to fight the Japanese devils' planes, cannons and tanks? "

"Hey, Chairman Jiang had to do it because of the crisis in the Songhu battlefield! Brother Xiang Fang, it is our soldier's bounden duty to protect our family and country, and I hope you can stick to your duty. I have important things to do, so I will leave! "

Li Zongren shook his head helplessly, and stopped saying anything when he saw that the words were not speculative, and immediately got up to leave.

Boss Han didn't even buy into Chairman Jiang's account. Li Zongren, as the commander of the Fifth War Zone, had no way to control Han Fuju. After some conversations, he could only leave with disappointment and anger!

"Damn, everyone wants to use us as cannon fodder, every good thing!"

As soon as Li Zongren left, Han Fuju decided to abandon Jinan and retreat. Fearing that the Japanese army would follow him across the Yellow River, he immediately ordered to blow up the Yellow River iron bridge.

Soon, two thousand kilograms of explosives were installed on each pier, bridge hole and bridge foundation of the bridge.

The director of the construction department came to dissuade him after hearing the news: "The Yellow River Iron Bridge is a famous and great project in China. The total cost is as high as 1166 million German marks. It would be a pity to blow it up directly! Can the main parts be removed for future reconstruction? "

"The Japanese cannons are on the other side. What do you use to dismantle them? If you want to dismantle them, you can dismantle them!"

Han Fuju was furious, and continued to order without explanation: "Blow it up immediately!"

As a result, with an order, the Yellow River Iron Bridge, which runs through the entire Jinpu railway line and ends the opening of the north and south sections with the Yellow River as the boundary, collapsed.

That night, Han Fuju ordered his three wives and children to flee back to Henan with the gold and silver, escorted by the guards.

The next morning, Han Fuju convened a meeting with the head of the department and the senior officials above the division commander. Just after he ordered the retreat, the secretary sent an urgent telegram from Chairman Jiang!

"Brother Xiang Fang, please stick to the Yellow River and never give up on Jinan! Jiang Zhongzheng."

After Han Fuju glanced at it, he threw it on the table and said, "Leave it alone! The most urgent thing now is to retreat to a safe place!"

At this time, He Siyuan, the director of the Education Department, persuaded: "Chairman Han, I think that in the face of a great enemy, one should not only consider preserving one's own strength.

Generalissimo Jiang said that the central government will make up for all the losses caused by the people's resistance!As for the future territory, there is no need to think about it now. Now it is an all-out war of resistance, and I think we should still fight it. "

Han Fuju sneered and said, "You are so naive! Can you believe Chiang Kai-shek's words? Who knows when he will compromise with Japan again?

In the battle of Songhu, a million elites could not defend Songhu, and in the defense of Nanjing, more than [-] heavy troops fell in a few days. With only tens of thousands of us, how many days can we hold?

If our family property is shaken off, you let the brothers drink the northwest wind in the future? .

Chiang Kai-shek did not guard Nanjing but let us stick to Jinan. Don't you know this despicable method of driving away wolves and tigers to eliminate dissidents? "

"Yes, we will never use him as cannon fodder!"

"Yes, we have lost a lot of blood!"

"Chairman Han, let's go, we only listen to you!"

At this time, many people in the audience began to respond loudly. Human nature is always selfish, life is precious, and no one will give up treatment easily before facing the real choice of life and death!

"Guns are the most important thing in today's troubled times. As long as one of us has a gun and carries Minsheng Bank, we can have food and flowers wherever we go."

Han Fuju decided immediately without any doubt: "Everyone, don't hesitate, go back and get ready!"

Before Han Fuju withdrew from Jinan, under the banner of "Scorched Earth Resistance War", he connived at the officers and soldiers to burn and loot wantonly, and imposed a "national salvation donation" from all counties. Third-class counties donated 20 yuan.

The county magistrates did not dare to disobey, so they could only blackmail the people.

In addition, Han Fuju also ordered that the 5000 taels of gold and 3 taels of silver in the Minsheng Bank and treasury be loaded and transported to Luoyang overnight.

As a result, Han Fuju's officers and soldiers were all in chaos, and they robbed Jinan Mansion for three days in a row, causing a smoky atmosphere and people complaining.

Before evacuating Jinan, Han Fuju ordered the burning of many important buildings. In an instant, smoke billowed and flames shot up into the sky, and the whole city of Jinan became a hell on earth.

Deliberately planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, Li Zongren met with Han Fuju's nose, but unexpectedly Xu Zuyi, who did not give much hope, had a great harvest!

Xu Zuyi not only received a high-level reception from Yang Fan, but also received a promise from Yang Fan: he could dispatch 1 elite troops to participate in the Xuzhou Battle at any time, and promised to stick to the defense lines of Gaomi, Jiaozhou, Zhucheng, and Anqiu, and never let a Japanese army enter from his own defense area. go through!

"What? Did he really promise that?"

Li Zongren finally waited until Xu Zuyi came back slowly, but he didn't expect that he would bring back such good news!

According to past records, the 1-strong independent division under Yang Fan's jurisdiction is enough to withstand half of the Japanese division, which is equivalent to at least 6 miscellaneous troops!

"That's right, I can see that he is absolutely serious! And he definitely has the ability to do it!"

Xu Zuyi nodded emphatically, and then said with fascination: "Brother Delin, you don't know, I really gained a lot of knowledge this trip to Gaomi!"

Seeing Xu Zuyi's weird expression, Li Zongren suddenly became curious and said, "What's going on, tell me about it? I've always been curious about Yang Fan, but I never knew it!"

"That's a long story!"

Xu Zuyi grinned, and then began to talk vividly about what he saw and heard during this trip to Gaomi!

"What? Electric lights, telephones, running water, buses, high-rise buildings, factories and shops everywhere..., there is such a civilized and developed place in Shandong? Are you sure you are serious?"

After listening to the narration, Li Zongren was stunned. It seemed that the place Xu Zuyi described was just like Greater Shanghai. No, it was more prosperous and developed than Greater Shanghai!

"Seeing is believing and hearing is not. I saw all of this with my own eyes. How could it be false? Haha!"

Xu Zuyi laughed out loud. Why didn't he look like a ghost when he first entered Gaomi County?

After a pause, Xu Zuyi said very happily: "In addition to the good news, I also brought back 50 radio stations and a truckload of urgently needed first-aid medicines. These are good things that Wan Jin doesn't sell!"

"Great! It's really great! It's not bright in the east and it's bright in the west. With the elite troops of Yang Fan's independent division, we can greatly reduce the pressure in the northeast!"

Li Zongren waved his fist very excitedly, most of the cloud and aggrieved that had been accumulated in his heart for the past few days dissipated in an instant.

Chapter 251 If Nanjing does not guard, why guard Tai'an?

Han Fuju expected that Jinan would not be able to defend for a long time, so he ordered the logistics department to transport the needed supplies to Nanyang.

The interception of the fifth theater failed, and Chiang Kai-shek's call failed to stop it.

So Li Zongren could only repeatedly call Han Fuju not to place the rear outside the fifth war zone, but Han Fuju arrogantly replied on the call: "Now that the war of resistance is all-out, how can we divide it between each other?"

"Is Han Fuju trying to escape?"

Li Zongren was extremely furious after receiving the call, but he was helpless.

On the night of December 1937, 12, the Japanese army crossed the Yellow River from the south of Qinghe Town, and Gu Liangmin's troops retreated to Zhoucun.

Han Fuju decided to move the provincial capital to Cao County again, ordered to fire more than a hundred cannons to the north of the Yellow River, and left Sun Tongxuan, the commander of the 12th Army, to burn down the key organs and houses of the provincial government and retreat to the south.

On December 1937, 12, more than 23 soldiers from the [-]th Division of the Japanese Isoya Rensuke divided into two groups, crossed the Yellow River from Qihe and east of Jiyang, and outflanked Jinan.

On December 12, Han Fuju withdrew from Jinan.Under the order of Han, the Ministry set fire to various provincial government agencies, high courts, railway stations, etc., and implemented the "scorched earth war of resistance".

On December 12, the Japanese army crossed the river from Luokou and bombarded Jinan.

On December 12, the Japanese army bombarded Jinan.In the early morning, Sun Tongxuan's No.27 Army retreated south under the order of Han Fuju.The old warlord Ma Liang and others welcomed the Japanese army into the city, and Jinan fell.

During the Japanese attack and occupation of Jinan, massacres such as the "Queshan Massacre", "Dayan Village Tragedy", "Gianzhuang Massacre", and "Huangjiayu Massacre" were created, which brought huge disasters to the people of Jinan.

When the Third Army retreated to Tai'an, Chiang Kai-shek sent a [-] urgent telegram asking Han Fuju to "never give up on Jinan".

After reading it, Han Fuju snorted: "I have arrived in Tai'an, how are you doing?"

When Han Fuju led his troops to withdraw to Jining, Li Zongren called again, "Your department must stick to Tai'an." Han Fuju called back and said, "If you don't defend Nanjing, how can you guard Tai'an?"

After Li Zongren received the call, he thought that Han Fuju ignored the military order, disregarded the general situation of the country, retreated without authorization, and sabotaged the War of Resistance.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek also began to feel that Han Fuju was unreliable. It had been rumored that Han Fuju had colluded with Doihara and had contact with Liu Xiang. At this time, he wanted to withdraw to Hanzhong again!

Chairman Jiang then thought of Han Fuju's attitude towards the Fujian Incident and the Xi'an Incident, so the seeds of hatred quickly took root, and he gradually made up his mind to deal with Han Fuju.

The Third Army fled without a fight in disregard of the military order, looting along the road, and opened the gate of Jinpu Road to the Japanese army.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese army marched straight in, occupying most of Shandong within a few days, and tens of millions of people were in dire straits.

"It's finally here!"

After reading the latest information, Yang Fan suddenly picked up the phone next to him and dialed, then ordered in a deep voice:

"Liu Chengchang, immediately notify the officers at the company level and above, civil servants at the bureau level of the government departments, as well as various newspapers and media, to hold a mobilization meeting in the auditorium of the county government at three o'clock this afternoon!"

As Boss Han retreated across the board, Jinan, Zhangqiu, Zouping, Zichuan and other counties and cities were quickly occupied by the following Japanese troops. The defense area under the jurisdiction of the Independent Division will formally meet the Japanese troops within two days at most!

And Qingdao will soon have Japanese troops starting to land, that is to say, the independent division will soon be surrounded by the Japanese army on both sides of the land, and the coastal defense line will be watched by the Japanese navy!

Except that the south can echo with the Fifth Theater, the independent division is equivalent to being completely surrounded by the Japanese army!

Everything is developing and advancing according to the original historical track, but Yang Fan is not happy.

After all, he still has some friendship and ties with Boss Han. Now seeing him drifting away on the road to death, due to various reasons, Yang Fan can only watch helplessly!

For one thing, Boss Han's deep-rooted warlord thinking cannot be reversed at all. Yang Fan will not take the lives of tens of thousands of subordinates to bet that Boss Han can back-to-back!

Secondly, if Boss Han doesn't take the initiative to withdraw from the political situation in Shandong, it will be difficult for Yang Fan to get rid of the shackles and let go of his arms. After all, he has a bad reputation for betraying his master!

The broadcast of various tragedies after Boss Han's departure has already begun to release news about several major tragedies caused by Japan to Shandong and the Nanjing Massacre.

The time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Gaomi County Auditorium, which can accommodate 2000 people, was almost full.

Yang Fan didn't give a speech on the stage for a sensational general mobilization before the war, but directly played the nearly one-hour documentary first!

The documentary mainly includes three parts: the independent division went to the Pingjin front line after the July 10th Incident, the Dezhou frontline anti-Japanese war in October, and the Songhu battle anti-Japanese war in November. fighting spirit!

Of course, there are also a lot of cruel and inhuman massacres by the Japanese army, the use of chemical weapons, and the blood and tears of the survivors of the massacre!

In the latter part, it is about Boss Han's perverse actions and the massacres such as the "Queshan Massacre", "Dayan Village Tragedy", "Gianzhuang Tragedy", and "Huangjiayu Tragedy" recently created by the Japanese army in Shandong!

In addition, Yang Fan also released some video materials about the inhuman massacre being carried out by the Japanese army in Nanjing!

"What? Chairman Han ran away like this? Jinan, Zhangqiu, Zouping, Qingcheng, Gaoyuan and other places fell so quickly?"

"Ah, the Japanese devils have already hit our door?"

"These goddamn bastards must die!"

"Fuck his ancestors, you bastards have the ability to attack grandpa!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"I'd rather be a dead ghost in battle than a subjugated slave!"

"Kill all the little Japanese, and avenge the death of our compatriots!"

"The only way to get rid of the hatred in my heart is to cramp my muscles and peel off my skin!"

At first, everyone thought it was an educational film. After all, the previous three battles were far away from Gaomi County. Although the brutal scenes of the Japanese army were shocking, they still felt that the war was still a little far away from them!

Because there are more than [-] troops in Jinan Prefecture, and the natural danger of the Yellow River, the independent divisions stationed in Gaomi, Jiaoxian, and Zhucheng are even stronger, and everyone has a strong sense of security in their hearts!

But after seeing the people behind, they were surprised to find that the flames of war had really reached the door of the house at this moment, and the devil's vanguard was less than 100 kilometers away from him!

Especially the bloody massacres that happened in Shandong and Nanjing City, the bloody horror scenes made everyone's hairs stand on end, and an unprecedented serious crisis began to surge in everyone's hearts!

"Brothers and sisters, I am very sad to tell you: Chairman Han abandoned the Shandong people and took his army and Minsheng Bank to hide behind. From today onwards, our independent division can only fight alone!"

After doing enough foreshadowing and exaggeration, Yang Fan stepped onto the rostrum with heavy steps, stared at the audience with a solemn expression, and shouted loudly:

"Everyone has seen that the little devils are not human at all, they are just a group of beasts who burned, killed and looted! Not only is the Chinese nation at its last moment, but we ourselves are on the verge of life and death!

We have no choice but to fight the little devil to the end!Dear brothers and sisters, we hereby invite you to a meeting today, and we have two important decisions to announce to you! "

Chapter 252

Yang Fan announced loudly: "First, enter the state of wartime from now on, mainly including the issuance of general mobilization orders, the implementation of comprehensive military control, strict enforcement of the curfew system, etc.;

Second, the Independent Division was separated from the Third Army and officially changed its name to the Huaxia Huben Army. From now on, we will only fight for the rise of the Chinese nation!

Third, the implementation of strong walls and clearing the fields will completely destroy the railway line from Jiaoxian County to Weifang! ..."

After announcing the important decision, Yang Fan began to accept questions from reporters on the spot!

"Mr. Yang, may I ask if your second decision just now means a complete break with Chairman Han?"

"Master Yang, I'm a reporter from the National Salvation Daily. May I ask if you and your troops will retreat to the rear like Chairman Han did?"
