Beiyang reactionaries

"Yes. It is mainly aimed at the 'Beijing Statement' announced by our two countries some time ago. Those young Japanese military officers complained a lot, and they all thought that Kato Takaaki's cabinet was betraying the country and showing softness to our country. That's why this kind of thing happened."

"It's just an excuse."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Duan Xuncai didn't believe that because of some dissatisfaction, a few young military officers dared to launch such a mutiny and attack senior cabinet officials like this.There is support behind it, but I don't know who it is.

"Cichen (Xu Yongchang)."

"Prime Minister."

"You are now drafting an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to allow the troops in the Northeast Military Region, the Beijing-Tianjin region and the Shandong region to enter the first level of combat readiness."

"Yes."

"Send a telegram to Linjiang and ask how the situation is going there."

"Yes."

"Let the fleet speed up and return to Nanjing as soon as possible."

483

"Mr. Dong, there is a telegram from the Prime Minister."

"Director Ge, do you know what happened?"

Linjiang.

The Korean peninsula is fighting in Hyesan County, and the Linjiang side is also completely in a state of war, and the troops are directly on the first level of combat readiness.The military doctors and medicines of the Northeast Military Region are now all in Linjiang, which serves as a rear hospital to receive the wounded.

There are also a large number of military supplies, which are sent to the front line through Linjiang.

The Korean Independence Army is in Hyesan County, what a waste of ammunition.The mortars were destroyed a lot, because they kept firing.

But China is very generous here.

Not afraid.

The mortars were broken, and Linjiang sent another batch over there, and also sent them shells.And how much ammunition was wasted by the lifeless shooting of light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

Because the Korean Independence Army has never fought a war of this scale, they have many problems in precision strikes and coordination.Therefore, the only thing that can comfort themselves is that the weapons in their hands, they only believe in the sound of cannons and gunshots, so they just keep firing and shooting.Of course, another reason is that the Japanese army continued to attack, and the Korean Independence Army had nothing to do.

So much ammunition is really extravagant, and it is all provided by China.Mainly the Northeast Arsenal produces ammunition.In order to produce these ammunition, the Shenyang Arsenal is almost non-stop, producing ammunition for the front line.From Shenyang to Tonghua by train, and then Tonghua began to be transported by horse-drawn carriage to Linjiang.Finally, it was sent from Linjiang to the front line.

In addition to these, Linjiang is still urgently training new recruits for the frontline troops, so it is very lively.

Therefore, Linjiang is the rear area.

It's not just the rear, because they were worried that the Japanese army would be the same as in the Sino-Japanese War, and took advantage of the situation to cross the Yalu River.Therefore, all the Chinese troops in the direction of Linjiang are preparing for battle at the first level, and no troops dare to relax in the slightest.

"Big things."

Ge Jingen walked in with a smile.

Dong Songyan was surprised.Ever since the fight broke out in Huishan County, Ge Jingen hadn't smiled a single day.Especially with the unfavorable battle situation in Huishan County, Ge Jingen didn't even have a smile on his face.These days Ge Jingen is getting thinner and thinner, very obviously.But today it was very rare to show a smile.

"There was a mutiny in Tokyo, Japan, and Tokyo was in chaos."

"mutiny?"

Dong Songyan was dumbfounded.

In Japan's system, where the emperor is on top, and the cabinet is the real power department, how can mutiny happen?Although the Japanese army and navy do have special rights and can even blackmail the cabinet, they are not able to launch a mutiny or a coup.The Japanese army and navy, they are not all of one mind.

Even within the Army, there are a bunch of factions, and it is impossible to cooperate to launch any mutiny.Japan has such powerful ministers, can they launch a mutiny?

Are you kidding me?

Although Dong Songyan was only a general leading troops on the front line, because he was on the banks of the Yalu River, he had some knowledge of the situation in Japan.I don't understand at all how the mutiny happened in Japan.

"What about it?"

"The details are not very clear, and the telegram sent by the Prime Minister was not carefully written. It just said that some young military officers in the Japanese army were dissatisfied with the current Japanese cabinet, so they launched a mutiny. Japanese Prime Minister Takaaki Kato and Japanese Foreign Minister Kijuro Kihara died. Yes, the Japanese Prime Minister Ugaki Kazunari is also in the rescue now. There are also many high-ranking police officials and bank officials who died in this mutiny. Anyway, I heard that there was a lot of trouble.”

"No wonder, no wonder."

Dong Songyan nodded.

He also smiled involuntarily, and said: "No wonder the Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking at noon yesterday. I thought what the Japanese army was going to do? It turned out that such a thing happened. Great, I can finally take a breath."

The Korean Independence Army has such a good defensive position and such good weapons and equipment, even more heavy weapons than the Chinese front-line troops.There was also support from a Chinese artillery division.

But these days they have been retreating, losing positions one after another, so Dong Songyan and Ge Jingen dare not rest or relax at all.After all, Beijing has high hopes for the Korean Peninsula and hopes that the Korean Peninsula will be lively.If Huishan County was taken down just a few times, how would the two of them explain to Beijing?

During the past ten days, the Japanese army continued to attack, and did not dare to rest for a moment.Now that the attack was finally stopped, Dong Songyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Dong Songyan knew.

The Japanese army was determined to attack like this, and the Korean Independence Army would definitely not be able to withstand it.It's not bad for half a month at most.But as long as the Japanese army stops and gives the Korean Independence Army some time to prepare again, it will be much more difficult in the future.

"Yes. I just don't know if these radical young military officers launched a mutiny, will it affect Japan's policies, including foreign policy. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for our country."

"Director Ge, you just think too much and manage too much."

Dong Songyan smiled.

"Readers" are different.Compared with Dong Songyan, Ge Jingen is indeed a scholar.In the late Qing Dynasty, he graduated from Zhejiang Wubei Academy and participated in the Revolution of [-].

After the founding of the Republic of China, he was admitted to Beijing Army University.After graduating, he stayed at the Army University as an instructor, and later he studied abroad at the Army University in Japan at the official expense.

Among the current Chinese military officers, Ge Jingen is quite highly educated.Moreover, after Ge Jingen returned to China, he served as a senior counselor with Chen Yi.After Chen Yi defected to Duan Xun, Ge Jingen followed Duan Xun again and served as the chief of the military staff department for Duan Xun.

I have always been a high-ranking member for big shots.

As the saying goes, stand tall and see far away, what you are talking about is Ge Jingen.So when thinking about problems, always stand at the top.But Dong Songyan is different. He was born as a grassroots officer, and he fought step by step.Although many people ridiculed behind his back that he rose through Duan Xun.

But before he became the head of Duan Xun's security force, although he was a student of Duan Xun, he was somewhat taken care of.But it is also a serious war.

So Dong Songyan only knows one thing, and that is to fight well.Policy issues, diplomatic issues, that's what the people above should consider.

Therefore, he said: "How Japan's policy changes is something that the cabinet should consider. What do we care about those things. The Japanese army stopped attacking. This is a very good opportunity for us. It can let the Korean Independence Army take a breath and redeploy its defensive positions."

"Yes."

Ge Jingen heaved a long sigh.

He said to Dong Songyan: "Mr. Dong, I really dare not sleep these days. The Prime Minister asked me to come to the Northeast just to build a Korean Independence Army unit. But the current situation is so bad, and the positions have been breached by the Japanese army one after another. I really dare not Have any rest."
