Nowadays, there are indeed a lot of troops in the Shanghai area, but because of the air cover and heavy artillery, although many people have been killed because of command errors, they have been much better than the original losses. This is where Yelena is gratified www.biquge.info after walking around, Yelena feels that what she has done is not in vain, especially Dachang and Luodian, although it is only a year, and it must be carried out secretly, but because there are large-scale projects such as factories and sewage plants as cover, it is still very good, which is much better than Yelena expected. After walking around, it was really good, and she also told Yelena that in the city, because of the support of the people and the strong help of Du Yuesheng and others, the preparations were also very sufficient.
It's just that from the coast to the rear of many military places, Yelena is very ostentatious, there are acquaintances everywhere, some smart, see Yelena following behind foreigners, don't say hello, but more people, still don't understand Yelena's situation and hope not to be noticed, warm greetings, hello, ask, some even ask some things about military affairs, some also ask questions about medicine do not understand, and Yelena asked for weapons and supplies, and Yelena cried poor people more, before getting in the car, Volkov just threw down a sentence, "I need a detailed report!"
Yelena felt a chill down her spine, what she did was unseemly, but it was the original intention of affection and righteousness, the reason why it was said that it was unseemly, was that Yelena could not explain the source of those auctioned items, and she was more likely to find out the problem about the elixir, and Yelena did such a thing, sold so many things, no matter what it was used for, it was something that the bourgeoisie would do, if she buttoned such a hat, Yelena was really finished, and she had to be connected to the nine clans, maybe more than that, I am afraid that she talked too much to her, and she had to be implicated, you must know that a marshal was just shot in June, and then the death list was constantly announced, no, is the report that the spy was arrested and sentenced to death, she thought of her mother Raisa, thought of her brother, by the way, her brother's whereabouts are also a problem, she is really afraid. In fact, everything stems from the fact that Volkov is a very determined person, Yelena has tried many times, but there is no way to hypnotize him, even the biggest reliance - face, it doesn't work, he can point a pistol at her, Yelena is pale, with an expression of the sky falling.
When they returned to the headquarters, it was dark, and the headquarters was still so lively at this time, and as soon as Volkov and Yelena walked to the door, they were surrounded by five people, the highest rank was a major, and when he saw them, he was about to cry, and said,
"Oh my God, you're back, and if anything happens to you, my head will be gone, and the heads of these brothers will be gone. Why don't you say a word when you go out? Five or six waves of people have been sent out to look for you. The petty officer was pitiful, but Yelena was even more pitiful, calmed down, and then entered the headquarters, said a word to the senior generals who were busy at this time, and left, at this time for these generals, it was the time to need the advice of others, especially the monks who came from afar, but now the army is the world of German advisers, and no one can ask others.
The little staff officer is called Liang Xingdong, not tall, but very thin, but the person is good, with Yelena they came to the place where they lived, because the concession was very safe, and the Japanese did not dare to attack the concession, so they were arranged to live in the concession, but because since the war, refugees have poured into the concession, so the house that can be found is not very good.
This is a lane, the small yard is very clean, there are three rooms, there is a kitchen, a warehouse, and there are flowers and plants planted by the previous owner in the small yard, and the lights in the house have been turned on, but they haven't eaten yet! Staff Officer Liang took people out to buy food, and Volkov, Jantyuk, and Sokolov had already unfolded the map and were studying the things they were passionate about.
But Yelena couldn't rest at ease, because she needed to face Volkov's inquiries soon after, and Yelena bought a lot of supplies for China, among which "
Fighter planes, provide technology to give preferential treatment, 50,000 US dollars per fighter, is the most advanced aircraft at this time, fast speed, strong firepower, a total of 500 purchased, of which, 200 were distributed to the Central Army, 300 of the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Gui Army, and the Jin Sui Army, worth 25 million,
Bombers, also provided technology, general bombers, but also the most advanced models at this time, 30,000 US dollars each, bought 200, heavy bombers 100,000 US dollars each, bought 10, a total of 7 million,
Tanks, which belong to the medium-sized thick-armored type, cost 35,000 each, and a total of 200 were sold, of which half were distributed to the Central Army, and the rest were distributed to the local army for infantry support. Self-propelled guns cost $30,000 each, a total of 100 units, sharing $10 million,
There are many places for torpedo improvement, and since China does not have large ships, torpedoes are expected to be high, but the price is very expensive, 160,000 dollars a piece, and a total of 50 are sold, which costs 8 million dollars.
After Yelena's departure, the arms trade between the Salvation Association and the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union did not end, and the purchase of low-cost but very easy to operate was increased, such as rocket launchers, magnetic mines, cloudburst shells and submachine guns. These countries are even willing to secretly provide loans for the National Salvation Association, because in the eyes of these foreign banks, the organization of the National Salvation Association has won the hearts of the people, and the donations received are endless, increasing, and compared with the Chinese government at this time, they are more confident in the National Salvation Association, because the National Salvation Association not only provides support to the central army, but also to the local army, and even supports northern Shaanxi. In addition, the construction of roads and bridges has an excellent reputation among the people, and the technology provided by Yelena, as well as the sudden appearance of large donations, have convinced these foreign banks that the Salvation Association has recruited many of the world's top talents and obtained a lot of advanced technology.
Although Yelena thought that the purchase of submarines and warships was not only expensive but also too long to build, so she only increased the number of mines and torpedoes, but the Salvation Association later raised funds from various sources and negotiated with the United States for a long time, and purchased five submarines at a very cheap price, which was an extremely secret matter. Yelena used the example of the intelligence gathering work that the Japanese began with China in the twenties to make everyone understand how important spies are to them, so very few people know about these operations.
The submarine is not a powerful weapon, but the gunpowder formula and new design given by Yelena make the torpedo more powerful than all the active torpedoes in the world, the torpedo is larger, the gunpowder and other chemical agents used are the most advanced, the speed of the torpedo under the water has increased significantly, and the destructiveness is almost more than three times that of the most advanced torpedo in Britain at this time, and the target of such a torpedo is the aircraft carrier, for this reason, Britain and the United States jointly developed and modified the torpedo tube of the submarine, and also changed the engine, the submarine was reinforced and other treatments, according to the most advanced radar, obviouslyOn the one hand, Britain and the United States really wanted to get this epoch-making torpedo technology, and on the other hand, they were also secretly supporting China's resistance to Japan. Japan's submarines and their fleet were also a big threat in the eyes of Britain and the United States.
Even for true friends, you can't have unrealistic illusions. It must be known that every country has its own independent strategic interests, and it decides its issues from the perspective of its own nation, state, and interests, and no one will set himself on fire for the sake of others. Axioms and justices have different contents in different countries and nations, and each country and nation always proceeds from its own interests to understand and interpret axioms and justice. We should not expect too much from our friends, even if they are true friends, and still less should we bet the "treasure" of the fate of our own army and people on others. Use other people's likes and dislikes to determine or change your own battle plan. Only oneself can save oneself in the world, others can never replace oneself, others are always unreliable, and relying on others is also doomed to suffer. History has proved that the idea of independence is glorious and unbreakable.
This is true for "friends," let alone enemies, and even more so for enemies, we must not have unrealistic illusions about our enemies and opponents, still less can we have a mentality of taking chances. The fundamental reason why Chiang Kai-shek was passive everywhere in commanding Japan and clinging to the idea of "seeking peace through war" was a fundamental reason. The fundamental reason for such a major misunderstanding is that there is a lack of understanding of the ambitions and appetites of the Japanese warlords. As a matter of fact, Japan not only no longer regarded the Nanjing government as an object of goodwill, but also wanted to annex all of China. Not only to annex all of China, but also to seize Asia and the Pacific from Britain and the United States, the appetite is astonishing, and the ambition is inflated to the point beyond imagination.
It was precisely because of the lack of sufficient understanding of Japan's ambitions that Chiang Kai-shek still tried to force Japan to make peace with a campaign counterattack after Japan had set up its strategic plan to capture Nanking and cut off China along the Yangtze River, and even until the Japanese army had landed in Hangzhou Bay, he made the ridiculous judgment that it was a small detachment and no more than one and a half brigades. The root cause of all this political and military wishful thinking is an illusion about the ambitions of Japanese imperialism against China. Experience has proven that against one's main opponent and enemy, it is necessary to throw away illusions and prepare for a struggle. Only by discarding illusions can the mind be opened, the mind can be emancipated, and the initiative in war can be gained.
Under the condition that there is no sea and air supremacy, the surrender of more than 700,000 troops to such a peninsula with a narrow area, dense water networks, and swamps can only be passively beaten, and there is no room for maneuver, which is precisely in line with the strategic plan of Japanese militarism to achieve a quick victory and gather together to annihilate it. The Songhu battlefield was flat and undefendable, and it was not easy to construct ground fortifications, which increased the difficulty of defensive operations. Under these conditions, China's hundreds of thousands of troops did not make a deep echelon deployment or carry out campaign maneuvers, and in addition, the front-line troops were too close to the coast and river banks, and were attacked by Japanese ships and artillery for a long time, which increased the casualties in vain. After 23 August, China's various units were tightly bitten by the Japanese army and could not get out, often fighting bloody battles for the gains and losses of one city and one place, and their own subjective initiative was greatly restricted, and they were powerless to change the situation on the battlefield. The only active attack was also lost due to poor organization and command, and there was no turnaround after that.
However, in the whole battle, Chiang Kai-shek adopted the tactic of adding fuel one after another, only counterattacks in campaigns and battles without strategic offensives, and battles were mostly carried out in the form of short and sudden attacks; with such rigid strategic and tactical guidance, how could the Chinese army not be passive everywhere and be controlled by others everywhere? And how could a passive defensive army that had lost the initiative not fail? After all, some of the initiatives of the Chinese army in the campaign and battle could not make up for Chiang Kai-shek's passivity in strategic guidance, and this would inevitably lead to defeat.
During the three-month battle of Songhu, a small number of troops or staff supervisors were not sent to seriously and practically inspect the defense fortifications in the Yangtze River Delta, to organize and prepare the necessary before the battle, and to plan the overall defense. As a result, after the Chinese army retreated from the Shanghai area to the defensive line, it found that it could not smoothly enter the position to meet the battle, and there was no support and response, and the troops could not use these defense lines to fight at all. Shanghai was lost, Nanjing was devastated, and the door of the country was opened.
