Chapter 564: "Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun"
readx; While the New 9th Brigade was struggling to hold on to Tongshan, the 6th Division of the Chinese Army was also facing a very bad situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The connection has been cut off, and Chongyang and Tongcheng have to face the onslaught of tens of thousands of elites in China's Fourth Theater alone.
The battle was already very difficult. The [***] team has made up their minds to win this must-win battle, no matter what the price is to pay for it.
At the same time, the Ninth Theater also launched a wave of attacks against the frontal enemy, forcing the army to fight everywhere and meet the enemy everywhere.
On November 29, the long-lost Chinese Air Force reappeared in the blue sky.
At that time, the cheers of those infantry brothers on the ground could no longer be expressed in words.
If China does not die, then the Air Force does not die!
Although in many previous battles, the Chinese Air Force has exhausted its blood and vitality. However, the Chinese Air Force, which had learned from the pain, flew tenaciously in the blue sky again like a phoenix bathed in fire.
The six Chinese fighters, like six eagles soaring in the blue sky, bit the four military planes that were still showing off their might.
In the face of such a ferocious attack, the machine was a little panicked, and hurriedly raised the lever, wanting to occupy a favorable position in the air battle. But the Chinese fighter plane, which had been holding its breath for too long, quickly turned a string of tongues of fire into a golden snake flying in the air.
In an instant, the machine caught fire, black smoke came out from behind the buttocks, let out an ugly scream, and stabbed straight into the ground.
Two Chinese fighters bit one of the planes to the death, and the planes dodged in a panic, and they had no intention of fighting again, just wanting to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible. But no matter how hard the driver of the machine tries, he will never be able to get rid of it.
Soon, the plane suffered the same "treatment" as his companions, and the vast ground became its final destination
The remaining two pilots fled the battlefield in a hurry.
Beautiful 2:0, the Chinese Air Force, which has not appeared on the battlefield for a long time, fought a beautiful 2:0 as soon as it engaged!
The Chinese fighters did not rush to withdraw from the battlefield, but circled over Tongcheng before leaving proudly. They are preaching China's armed forces to the Tongcheng army!
The cheers on the ground were even louder, and the brethren had even reached a point of madness!
Air force! Once again, there was the support of the Air Force. From now on, the sky will no longer be limited to my own planes!
Goofy also saw this shocking and exciting scene. His hand involuntarily clenched into a fist and swung it vigorously.
Soon, the Fujian Air Force will also be about to take shape, and at that time, it will once again give the army a heavy lesson!
The battlefield cannot be said to be without an air force!
Chang Yan Yi also witnessed all this.
He saw the majesty of the Chinese Air Force, and he also saw the bravery of the Chinese soldiers on the ground. He began to gradually understand why the phrase "good iron does not hit nails, and good men are not soldiers" is useless in the hearts of his own son, as well as the military and civilians of Sichuan, in the hearts of the people of the whole country.
Those brave Chinese soldiers, with their loyalty and bravery, wrote the most magnificent chapter on the battlefield!
They are selfless and fearless, they go forward and succeed, and they regard death as the most glorious destination of soldiers! What they showed on the battlefield was exciting!
Even, even Chang Yanyi felt that if he could be twenty years younger, he would definitely join the army without hesitation and join this glorious scene.
Mao Bingcai hurriedly walked to Gao Fei's side, said a few words in a low voice, and Gao Fei's face changed greatly: "Mr. Jin Kang, you are here, pay attention to safety, I am in a hurry." ”
The common saying that has been completely immersed in the battlefield is just a casual "grace".
Coming to his headquarters, Goofy straightened his military uniform, and then knocked on the door: "Report!" ”
Here, Gao Fei is the commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations and the highest military commander, and this "report" is completely inconsistent with his identity.
"Come in." A soft voice came from inside.
"Yes!" Gao Fei pushed open the door, and as soon as he entered, he carefully closed the door first, and then saluted: "Madam, Minister Zhou, why are you here?" ”
Ms. Soong Meiling, wife of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme leader of China, and Ms. Soong. Total. Zhou Enlai, deputy of the Central Committee, secretary of the Southern Bureau, and deputy director of the Political Department of the Political Axe Military Committee of the Kuomintang!
Song Meiling smiled and said: "The winter offensive has been in full swing, and this is the top priority of the entire offensive, the chairman is not at ease, so let me and Mr. Zhou come to comfort the soldiers on the front line." ”
Zhou Enlai also smiled and shook Gao Fei's hand: "General Gao, in fact, I took the initiative to ask for it, General Gao has an outstanding reputation, and he is a rare famous general in the Anti-Japanese War, Enlai has long wanted to come and take a look." ”
Gao Fei was a little anxious: "Madam, Minister Zhou, you shouldn't come." I am here on the front line, and my shells will explode around my headquarters anytime and anywhere, in case of any missteps between my wife and Minister Zhou, Gao Fei will die without exoneration! ”
"It's none of your business." Song Meiling smiled slightly: "I said that my shells don't have eyes, and they don't know that we are coming." Take 10,000 steps back and say, you Gao Fei has never been afraid of himself on the battlefield, and we are the safest here. ”
Gao Fei was a little helpless, and at this time he only heard Song Meiling say: "Gao Fei! ”
"Here!"
Song Meiling said slowly: "Gao Fei has made meritorious contributions to the War of Resistance, and after the start of the winter offensive, he repeatedly created Japanese robbers and awarded the Blue Sky White Medal!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, ma'am!" Gao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly.
Song Meiling personally hung the Qingtian Baiyue Medal on Gao Fei's chest.
Gao Fei was a little excited, the blue sky was white!
The center of the medal is the national emblem of the blue sky and white medal, representing the country, surrounded by light, symbolizing that the person who won this medal has the merit of defeating the enemy and making the country glorious.
I have already won a Baoding Medal before, and it is a great honor for a soldier to get the Qingtian Baiyue Medal at this time!
But it wasn't over yet, Song Meiling immediately said: "The commission order, award the rank of lieutenant general of the Gaofei National Revolutionary Army plus general!" ”
Lieutenant General plus General? Lieutenant General Plus General!
This is a very special rank in [***].
Lieutenant general plus general refers to those who are promoted to general, because of the limitation of posts, the rank of general is added first. When the second-class general becomes vacant, the rank of general will be officially awarded. There is a limit to the number of second-level generals of the National Political Axe, with a total limit of 22 people. There is a quota limit to avoid a situation where generals are flying all over the sky, and in the war years, such a quota is not enough.
A young man like Goofy will not be able to vacate this place for a while. What to do? Just set up such a lieutenant general plus general.
Lieutenant generals plus generals, whose uniform rank is the same as that of generals, exercise the rank of general, but the salary is still paid according to the maximum salary of the lieutenant general. It's not that I don't want to give you a general directly, but there really is no quota. First you will be given the rank of general, and you will do the work of a general first, but only the salary of a lieutenant general will be given!
In fact, when the government appointed Gao Fei as a lieutenant general and a general, it was actually equivalent to Gao Fei's foot having stepped into the threshold of a general.
It's so surprising that at Gao Fei's age, being a lieutenant general plus a general is unprecedented in [***]!
But that's not what Goofy was thinking. If it was only based on military exploits, then it should have been announced when he was in Yucheng before; Or wait until Goofy has finished his winter offensive and achieved brilliant results. But Chiang Kai-shek chose to be promoted at such a critical juncture in the battle, which couldn't help but make Gao Fei wonder, is there any other purpose?
When he came to this era, what Gao Fei was thinking about was how to be a good soldier, and political matters were never in his consideration. But as the war dragged on, Goofy began to learn that even if you wanted to get rid of politics in this country, it would be impossible.
If you want to be a pure soldier, sometimes, it's not so easy!
"General Gao, congratulations." Zhou Enlai enthusiastically stretched out his hand: "Taking this position at the age of General Gao, I think it is unique not only in China, but also in the world. The commission is very important, and the general is high! ”
"Thank you, Minister Zhou, Gao Fei is ashamed." Goofy is humble.
Zhou Enlai said at this time: "General Gao, I'll go and see the soldiers first, I don't know if it's appropriate?" ”
Gao Fei was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Song Meiling glaring at him, he immediately understood, called Mao Bingcai in, commanded a few words in a low voice, and then said: "If Minister Zhou has any mistakes, you can bring your head up to see you." ”
Immediately, he turned to Song Meiling and said, "Madam, I'll show you the resting place first." ”
Zhou Enlai smiled slightly, turned around and left with Mao Bingcai.
As soon as Zhou Enlai left, Gao Fei carefully closed the door: "Madam? ”
"Sit." Song Meiling sat Gao Fei down, her face solemn: "We have obtained the most reliable information, Wang Jingwei's puppet regime will be officially established in Nanjing in a few months. ”
Goofy nodded.
Although Wang Jingwei's treason has long been unstoppable and known to passers-by, he has not openly put up the banner of political axe. But it's only a matter of time.
On December 22, 1938, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe issued a statement on China for the third time. This statement was drawn up in accordance with the secret covenant of Chongguangtang. However, due to the opposition of the army, the statement did not reflect Wang Jingwei's demand for the withdrawal of troops within two years. This shows that the terms of withdrawal at that time were nothing more than bait to lure Wang Jingwei to flee.
As soon as Wang Jingwei arrived in Hanoi, he fell and injured his leg, and while recuperating from his illness, he saw Konoe's statement. Although he was not satisfied with the ambiguity of the statement, the matter had come to this point, and Wang Jingwei had no choice but to issue a statement in response. In the old days, there was a habit of saying rhyme when sending telegrams, and 29 said that it was replaced by the word "Yan", and it was called "Yandian" by people. In this telegram, Wang Jingwei even said that the purpose of China's War of Resistance was to seek the survival of the country, and if China could survive by accepting the conditions of the war, then the purpose of the War of Resistance would have been achieved.
In order to cause greater confusion among the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and to highlight his main and stand, the next day, Wang Jingwei put forward four hopes to Yu Ben. Wang Jingwei also suggested that the city of Chongqing should be mortally bombed with the aim of destroying China's wartime capital. At his suggestion, the army decided to implement the "Central Aviation Agreement of the Army and Navy" and began to carry out bloody bombing of the Yucheng area on a larger scale from January 1939.
The publication of "Yandian" has aroused a huge wave of rebellion across the country. Ever since Wang Ching-wei left Hanoi and published the "Yan Dian," the calls for peace talks, which had originally spread within the Kuomintang, disappeared all at once.
In February 1939, Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma convened a five-phase meeting and passed a resolution on Wang Jingwei to organize a "new central political axe", which was informed by the Consul General in Hong Kong on March 18 to Gao Zongwu, who relayed it to Wang Jingwei.
Just one day later, on 19 March, Chen Gongshu, who had been monitoring Wang Jingwei, received a sanction order issued by Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, ordering that Wang Jingwei be severely punished. Late at night on March 20, a shooting occurred in a garden house at No. 27 Gao Lang Street, Hanoi. The murder took place at the apartment of Wang Jingwei, a former KMT vice president who fled Chinese mainland for months.
Wang Ching-wei himself was an assassin and had been assassinated many times in his life, but this assassination in Hanoi was the most shocking and sad for him. Zeng Zhongming, a close subordinate whom he regarded as a son, was shot in the abdomen more than 10 times, resembling a honeycomb, and died in the afternoon of the following day.
The gunfire on Gao Lang Street also woke him up. Shadow Zuozhen, Showa dog Yangjian, soon set off to Hanoi to rescue Wang Jingwei. At this time, it was impossible for Wang Jingwei, who was terrified in his heart, to have the courage to put forward any conditions to Yue himself, let alone refuse Yue Ben's protection.
In order to appease the people in the occupied areas, the army adopted the method of supporting the puppet regime in the occupied areas. The two puppet regimes in the North China Occupation Zone and the Republic of China Restoration Regime established in Nanjing affected the respective interests of the North China Dispatch Army and the Central China Dispatch Army.
According to the content of the "Chongguangtang Secret Treaty", Wang Jingwei will establish a new regime in the southwest, which will not affect the two existing puppet regimes. However, because Wang Jingwei's escape was ultimately not supported by the warlords in the southwest, his hopes of establishing power in the southwest were dashed. The assassination in Hanoi strengthened Wang Jingwei's determination to establish a political axe in the occupied areas. This poses a big problem to himself, because it means that the interests of the military in China will have to be readjusted and divided.
Wang Jingwei was not ignorant of Yuben's hesitation. But he is more confident in his abilities. In May and June 1939, Wang Jingwei went to Japan with his cronies to hold specific consultations on the establishment of political power.
Among the people who traveled with Wang Jingwei was Gao Zongwu. Because of his insistence on opposing the establishment of a separate regime in the occupied areas, he was at odds with the majority of the group. From this time on, Gao Zongwu gradually lost confidence in Wang Jingwei.
Because it is said that this political axe needs to unify internal opinions before putting forward conditions. It was only after 10 days that Wang Jingwei and his entourage were able to meet with important figures in the political circles. As a result, Wang Jingwei had no choice but to accept his harsh conditions, and in the end he had no choice but to adhere to the legal system of the Kuomintang and take the blue sky and white flag as the bottom line for his concessions.
Soon after, the five-phase meeting replied to Wang Jingwei, stipulating that if the new regime continued to use the blue sky and white flag, it must attach a triangular yellow cloth piece to the flag with the words "[***] peaceful nation-building" written on it. For the strip of cloth on the flag, even Zhou Fohai thought it was intolerable and called it "pig tail".
In November of that year, the Xingya Yuan, the department responsible for handling colonial affairs in the occupied areas of China, adopted a specific plan for the establishment of Wang Jingwei's central power. The Wang Chingwei clique and the Mei organ, a special agency of the Chinese government, began secret talks in Shanghai to discuss the signing of the "Outline for the Adjustment of New Relations between China and China." Because there are many overly harsh clauses in the plan, which are very "unsightly", the participants must also sign this piece of paper to ensure that the content of the plan will never be leaked to the outside world.
This agreement completely deprived Wang Jingwei of the little freedom he had imagined. The regime established on this basis is destined to be completely reduced to the eagle dog of the political axe.
Wang Jingwei has accelerated the pace of building a political axe!
Gao Fei knew what Chiang Kai-shek was worried about, even though Wang Jingwei was a Han annihilator, his influence was also huge!
Wang Jingwei was extremely strict with his subordinates, but he was always deeply supported, and repeatedly held high positions in the Kuomintang and political axes. After the defection, there were still a large number of people such as Zhou Fohai, Tao Xisheng, Zeng Zhongming, Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Zhou Longzhen, Chen Gongbo, Wang Kemin, etc., who ventured to follow, and their secretary Zeng Zhongming even died for it. , which shows his influence.
Once it declares the so-called "founding of the country," the consequences and impact will be extremely bad, and even in the rear areas and among the people who are really fighting bloody battles, it will cause great turmoil and confusion in people's hearts.
And this is also the last thing Chiang Kai-shek wants to see.
"What do you mean?" Goofy asked tentatively.
Song Meiling was slightly silent there: "Wang Jingwei is extremely shameless, treacherous, and at the moment when our national war of resistance is in full swing, he plots to establish a regime and attack my determination to resist the people's war of resistance!" And you, who have just been interviewed by Chinese and foreign people in Yucheng, and have a great influence among the people of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, so the meaning of the commission is to ask you to make a statement, or more precisely, to publish an article, a battle article against Wang Jingwei and others! ”
Goofy got it! Goofy is duty-bound! Goofy didn't have time to think.
"At the same time," Song Meiling's voice was much lowered: "At the same time, in the past two days, someone wants to borrow from you." ”
"Who?" Goofy was slightly stunned.
Song Meiling's voice became lower and lower: "Tang Shengming! ”
"Tang Shengming?" Goofy was stunned again.
Tang Shengming, on October 10, 1906, was born in Shiraki Town, Luhongsi, Dong'an County. He is the fourth brother of Tang Shengzhi. In April 1926, he entered the fourth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou and graduated in October of the same year. He entered the Central Army University in 1932 and graduated in the fall of 1935.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as deputy commander and acting commander of the Changsha Garrison Command. In the spring of 1938, he was transferred out of Changsha and transferred to Changde and Taoyuan garrison commanders.
When Song Meiling said that Tang Shengming was going to pass by her own defense area, Gao Fei knew what Tang Shengming was going to do!
