The enemy was surrounded in position, rushed left and right, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to the south bank in panic with rapid reinforcements from Japanese troops.

The Japanese ground offensive against Shanghai was repeatedly frustrated, and the Japanese military headquarters ordered the First Air Group to take off from the aircraft carrier 'Fengxiang' and bomb our positions such as Zhenru, Nanxiang, and Zhabei to support the ground troops' attack.

The Military Commission of the State Government ordered the Air Force Command to immediately send fighter planes in the air to fight the Japanese planes and cover the ground forces to counterattack the attacking Japanese troops.

At the same time that the 19th Route Army was fighting a desperate counterattack against the enemy in various positions in Shanghai, the senior officials of the state government considered that Wusong was the gateway of the Yangtze River, and once it continued to engage in war with the Japanese army and angered the Japanese military, they desperately sent reinforcements to bomb Shanghai indiscriminately, and then occupied Wusong, then the theater of operations was bound to expand, the main gateway of the Yangtze River was bound to be opened, and Nanjing, as the capital, was bound to be in danger.

Some high-ranking officials of the government who insisted on compromise and peace considered using diplomatic means to resolve the Sino-Japanese conflict in Shanghai.

In order to properly resolve the war in Shanghai, President Jiang summoned He Yingqin, Luo Wengan, and Chen Mingshu to discuss the current situation in Songhu in Puzhen.

"Chairman of the Committee, I think that the Japanese army suddenly started a war against our 19th Route Army, although the war was caused under the pretext of the killing of the monk, if it is properly handled, I believe that the Japanese army will not continue to entangle." Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin said with a gloomy expression.

"Jingzhi, your thoughts are somewhat the same as Vice Chairman Wang's, but the Japanese army provoked trouble in the northeast and occupied our territory, and at this time it was making trouble in Shanghai, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

Chen Mingshu, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison, nodded in agreement and said: "What the president said is extremely true, although the Japanese army has been defeated in the attack on our 19th Route Army in Zhabei in Shanghai in recent days, no matter how it negotiates with the Japanese army, the Japanese army will never stop its aggression. ”

"Brother Zhenru is a bit alarmist, isn't it? The Japanese army has insufficient troops in Shanghai and does not have the conditions to launch another large-scale attack on our army, so it should not be ...... if there is a little friction and seek help from friendly countries for mediation through diplomacy. ”

Chen Mingshu saw that He Yingqin brazenly launched an attack on our 19th Route Army against the Japanese army in Shanghai, and he would continue to hold illusions, not only said in a tough tone: "Brother Jing, wolves always want to eat meat, how can you let it go?" If we don't make up for it in time, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"Commander Chen, the president came to us to discuss, not to attack each other, if you say that a partial declaration of war is carried out against the Japanese occupation forces, once the Japanese army starts a full-scale war against us, our weapons, ammunition, logistics and other equipment are unfavorable, do you think we have a certain victory?"

"Brother Jing, please calm down, it's not us who declared war on Japan, it's the Japanese army that declares war on me, in the face of foreign insults, should we turn a blind eye, or should we rise up and resist?"

"Okay, okay, what the two of you talked about is to the point, the loss of the Northeast and the occupation of the Japanese army is a shame for us, the current situation is favorable to our side, but we should not be arrogant and take the initiative to attack, we should use foreign forces in China to mediate, which will be beneficial to our interests."

President Jiang looked at the three of them and said again: "The Shanghai affair is based on the victory of the 19th Route Army for more than ten days, and it is mainly to take advantage of this to stop and avoid another decisive battle. ”

"Report."

"Come in." President Jiang heard the voice of Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, and not only called him in without pause.

"Is there something wrong with Shihe?" President Jiang talked to Wang Shihe for two reasons, one is that Wang Shihe is Jiang's close wife and nephew, and he is naturally closer to Fenghua. The second is that Wang Shihe is a student of the first phase of Whampoa, and then he has been following Jiang and following him as the most reassuring guard.

Especially in 1929, President Jiang lived in his apartment at No. 12 Aidonia Road in Shanghai, serving as a member of the outer guard platoon.

If it weren't for the fact that the internal guards led by Wang Shihe suddenly intercepted and saw through it on the spot, and a fierce scuffle occurred, the assassin was finally subdued, and the murder weapon was seized on the spot, President Jiang would not know whether he was alive or dead. The president thought that Wang Shihe was loyal and brave, and trusted him more, and was later promoted to the chief of the guard.

"Report to the president, this is today's Shanghai declaration, because this incident is very important, so I rushed to report it, please ......."

Wang Shihe's biggest advantage is that he will look at President Jiang's face to decide, and to what extent the words must be terminated immediately, even if there are no modifiers at the back, they can't be too rappy.

When President Jiang heard that it was a newspaper, he couldn't help frowning and glanced at Wang Shihe, but he knew that Wang Shihe could deliver a newspaper to him at an extraordinary time, and there must be a major secret in it.

He took the newspaper and scanned the title, then read it, and suddenly laughed: "'Qia Gong' will appear in a public hospital, it turns out that he is visiting his nephew who is seriously injured, which is not a trivial matter. ”

He Yingqin, Luo Wengan, and Chen Mingshu present here, although they have some understanding of the person 'Qia Gong' that Jiang Gong said, they don't know the disgraceful past when Jiang Gong was aided by 'Qia Gong'.

"Really, have you read this newspaper?"

Chen Mingshu took it and looked at it a few times, stood up and said respectfully: "President, I heard a special submission from Brother Jingran (Jiang Guangding) of the Nineteenth Route Army, mentioning this little anti-Japanese hero Wang Feng, but I didn't expect it to be the nephew of 'Qia Gong' (Yu Qiaqing). ”

Wang Shihe looked at Chen Mingshu and smiled without saying a word, He Yingqin seemed to see something meaning, and couldn't help but smile and ask: "Brother Wang, won't you know this Wang Feng more thoroughly?" ”

"Don't hide it from you, I do know more about this Wang Feng."

"Huh? Shihe might as well tell everyone about it. ”

"It's the president." Wang Shihe Lizheng said: "Wang Feng's father is the familiar General Wang Shiyong, and his mother is Yu Fengmin, a professor of Chinese studies at Central University. ”

"Then how did Wang Feng become the nephew of 'Qia Gong'?" He Yingqin is a smart person, when he saw Jiang Gong seeing the 'Qia Gong' in the newspaper, he even stopped such an important meeting, which shows the importance of this 'Qia Gong' and Wang Feng in Jiang Gong's eyes.

Wang Feng is not important to Jiang Gong, what matters is Wang Feng's 'uncle' and 'Qiagong'. From the beginning of the Republic of China to the present, the contribution of funds, especially the needs put forward by Jiang Gong, is simply an all-out effort.

Wang Feng saw it in the newspaper, which led to 'Qia Gong', how could Jiang Gong turn a blind eye when he saw this news?

Wang Shihe saw that He Yingqin was interested, and then said: "I heard that 'Qia Gong' was very hard when he first arrived in Shanghai, and at this time, Yu Fengmin, the daughter of Qia Gong's teacher, who was studying at Tongji University in Shanghai, was entrusted by her father to often bring some money and materials to support 'Qia Gong', who had not yet made a career at that time. ”

He glanced at Jiang Gong as he spoke, but did not find any impatience or dissatisfaction, and then said: "In this way, General Wang and Wang Feng, the son of Professor Yu, will naturally be drawn closer and become the nephew of 'Qia Gong'. Later, at the invitation of 'Qia Gong', Wang and Yu sent their beloved son Wang Feng to Shanghai's 'Qia Gong' mansion, and they have been cared for by 'Qia Gong' in every way. ”

"Wang Feng is a general, and he can also be said to be a descendant of officials and businessmen, why did he wear a military uniform as a soldier?"

"Sir He, I don't want to disturb you too much to discuss important national affairs, I am really damn for talking so much nonsense here."

"Shihe, it's the first time I've heard of it, if there's anything else to say, be simple and clear, don't foreshadow."

"It's the president." Wang Shihe said quickly: "Wang Feng grew up behind the official and business generals, and he is handsome, although he is suave but not arrogant, he is favored by famous people, and he suffers from chasing. ”
