Han Tiansheng's second message was as follows: I am the fifth son of Han Fuqu, the head of Shandong Province. A few months ago, my father gave up the Yellow River and Mount Tai without fighting, so that the land of Shandong fell to the enemy.
Tens of millions of Qilu people were in deep water and suffering.
In order to forgive my father's sins and be loyal to the country, I raised an army from Jining. First, I fought Jining, then fought in Qufu, and destroyed the main force of the enemy's 10th division.
Then he led his army north and took advantage of the enemy's surprise to recover Tsinan at one stroke!
Three days ago, the 5th and 14th divisions of the North China Front Army were defeated, and 50,000 people under the commander of the 14th division, Kenji Doihara, were wiped out.
At present, the various departments of our Tiger Brigade have divided their forces to recover Tai 'an, Qufu, Zibo, Weifang and other places around Jinan.
Seeing that the whole of Qi Lu was about to be recovered, but our troops were insufficient, we were forced to stop the counterattack.
At this moment of national crisis, I call upon my Chinese compatriots to join the army and provide reinforcements.
"Together with our Tiger Warriors, we will recover our lost territory, return our rivers and mountains, and chase the enemy out of Shandong and out of China!
Han Tiansheng, Major General of the Tiger Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army, is waiting for you in Jinan!”
……
Northern Henan, Lanfeng County.
Sun Tongxuan of the 20th Division of the Shandong Army, who had just returned from Wu Han, was reading two cables handed to her by the adjutant.
These two telegrams, one was Han Tiansheng's good news, the other was Han Tiansheng's distress telegram.
After Han Fuqu was captured, he had been summoned by Generalissimo Jiang for an interview in an attempt to win him over. Therefore, Sun Tongfang's current identity was the acting commander-in-chief of Han Fuqu's 3rd Army and the 20th Division Commander.
However, Sun Tongxuan was Han Fuqu's most loyal subordinate. Although she was forced to accept the appointment, she did not give up on rescuing Han Fuqu.
First, under his strong request, they worked together with Han Fuqu's five division commanders and the 3rd Army's high-ranking generals to send a call for help.
Seeing no effect, he brought his confidants and a large amount of money to Wu Han to help Han Fuqu, trying to save him.
His 20th Division and other Shandong troops were also transferred from Southwest Shandong to Northern Henan by the National Government during his trip to Wu Han.
Only the third division of the Book Exhibition Hall was stationed in Jining as a symbolic warning. If it wasn't for Han Tiansheng, Jining would have fallen long ago.
Therefore, when Han Tiansheng emerged from Jining and won successive battles, sweeping away the Japanese army, Sun Tongxuan was not in the army.
Coincidentally, just as he returned to the military base, he received two telegrams sent by Han Tiansheng in plain code.
After reading the contents of the telegram, Sun Tongxuan's expression became excited.
The staff officer's adjutant asked tentatively,""President, what should we do?”
Sun Tongxuan did not seem to hear the adjutant's question. She stood up excitedly and walked to the door of the division headquarters. She looked south and said with tears in her eyes,"Commander, did you see that? Young Master Tiansheng has already recovered Jinan!
He defeated the Japanese and became a national hero respected by tens of thousands of people!
Our Shandong Army now has hope and a backbone! They would not be like the monkeys scattering when the tree fell, like the Northeastern Army and the Northwestern Army being annexed and split up!”
The adjutant staff officer also felt the same way and walked over. He stood behind Sun Tongxuan and asked again,""Head, what should we do?”
Only then did Sun Tongxuan come back to her senses. She wiped away her tears of relief, turned around, and said in a deep voice,"Pass on my order. All the troops of the 3rd Army are to immediately break camp and head north.
He was rushing to Jinan to reinforce Young Master Tiansheng's Tiger Legion!”
The adjutant said," Chief, the 12th division is our 20th division's old brother. They will definitely be willing to go to Jinan with you."
However, Gu Liangmin of the 56th Army and Cao Fulin of the 55th Army might not go!
Ever since the commander's accident, they've been at odds with us! It was very likely that he had already been roped in by Chairman Jiang!”
"Regardless of whether they go or not, our 12th division and 20th division will definitely go!”"Young Master Tiansheng is so young, but he has already achieved such great feats," said Sun Tongxuan.
"His talent and prestige have far surpassed the commander. Only by following him can our Shandong Army be rebuilt and have hope and a future!
Send the telegram to Gu Liangmin and Cao Fulin, let them choose whether to go or not!
We'll go to Jining to meet the commander's wife first, then reinforce Jinan with the 81st Division!”
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant staff officer hurriedly saluted and accepted the order without saying anything else.
……
Because Han Tiansheng had sent a plain code telegram, the famous generals of the Shandong Army, Cao Fulin, Gu Liangmin, and even Yu Xuezhong, who was originally in charge of the Shandong coastal defense, received the news of Han Tiansheng's victory almost at the same time.
Because Yu Xuezhong was from the Northeast Army, he had long been placed under the command of the 5th Battle Area Command. He was under Li Degong's control and did not dare to act without orders.
Therefore, he chose to remain on the sidelines and continue to lead the army to guard Linyi and the northern gate of Xu Prefecture.
After Cao Fulin and Gu Liangmin received Sun Tongxuan's order, they hesitated but still chose to lead the army north.
At the end of the day, although they were not as loyal to Han Fuqu as Sun Tongxuan, they still sided with the Han family. In essence, they still regarded themselves as members of the Shandong Army.
In the original history, after Han Fuqu was captured, they were forced by the general trend and had no choice but to turn to the Generalissimo Jiang because they had no choice.
But now it was different. Han Tiansheng had already displayed his extremely strong ability and strength. He had even taken back Jinan.
They were old subordinates of the Shandong Army, so they naturally didn't want to suck up to the Central Army.
Because they also understood that with their background, it was impossible for them to gain the true trust of Generalissimo Jiang, nor could they become a direct Central Army.
Instead of doing this, it was better to return to Jinan and join forces with Han Tiansheng's Tiger Legion. They could not only maintain their position, but also defend against the enemy and recover Shandong.
In addition, Sun Tongxuan, who was second only to Han Fuqu in the Shandong Army, had set an example. They naturally knew what to choose.
