One... Five days ago. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek issued a statement entitled "In order to abandon Wuhan and sue the whole country, the evacuation of Wuhan began twenty days ago, after the loss of Tianjia Town, Wuhan began to evacuate its citizens, and the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant began to move to the southwest earlier, all of which show that the evacuation of Wuhan was part of the plan of the Chinese government.

The war lasted for two years, and many Western military experts have been speculating about when the Chinese government will sue for peace, and they think it will be three months after the Battle of Honghu, two months after the fall of Nanjing, and after the loss of Xuzhou, they are speculating again, and now that Wuhan has been lost, the diplomatic community believes that China will soon sue for peace with Japan.

But the diplomats are wrong, they have forgotten the root of their mistakes in China for two years, and Western laws are not suitable for China.

The Chinese had long foreseen the loss of Wuhan, so they built their industrial base in the southwest instead of Hubei and Hunan, where transportation was more convenient.

The Japanese occupied Wuhan and Guangzhou, but the war would not stop because of this, and General Jiang Baili told the Chinese at the beginning of his theory of national defense that the way to defeat Japan was simple, "win or lose, as long as you do not make peace with it." The Chinese established the idea of a long war from the beginning.

The Battle of Nanjing, in which they abandoned Nanjing after destroying 100,000 Japanese troops; In the Battle of Xuzhou, they wiped out 120,000 Japanese troops and gave up the pursuit; Zaoyang counterattacked, they eliminated the three divisions, but gave up the offensive to continue, from which we can clarify the strategy of the Chinese side.

Luring the enemy deeper, taking advantage of China's vast strategic space, and depleting the Japanese army, they did not think that they would defeat the Japanese army tomorrow, and the victory they envisioned was five or ten years later.

The Japanese were victorious again, and they attacked Wuhan and took advantage of the situation to capture Canton, which was a brilliant victory tactically speaking, but such a victory was probably the last.

The Japanese army won victories in China and entered the Chinese mainland step by step, but strategically it was always led by the Chinese, and every time they had the idea of returning home after this battle, but each time they were disappointed, and the end of the war was indefinite.

What worries me is not China's determination to resist, but the implementation of the Munich Conspiracy in the East by Western society, and the news that the British blocked the Burma Highway in the later stages of the Battle of Wuhan was more damaging to the Chinese than the loss of Tianjiazhen Guangzhou. We don't have to say that China's own industrial capacity is weak, and we don't need to say that the equipment of the squadron is inferior, which is why they need more assistance from the West, and the British are helping the Japanese.

After two years of war, the Chinese alone resisted the powerful Japanese army, if China is defeated, is it in the interests of the West? Will the British feel safe about this? The answer is obvious.

There is only one country that can change the situation now, the great United States of America, and President Roosevelt should act immediately to intervene in the actions of the British, and to tell China with a resolute attitude that the United States has not abandoned them and that the people of the United States are watching their heroic battle.

，”

Webb read it carefully, then put it in his purse, then put the typewriter in the suitcase, and then pushed the door open, and when he came out, he saw Logan and Charles talking happily with a lieutenant general.

Webber didn't interject immediately, but habitually looked around, the two jeeps behind were so conspicuous in the long convoy, especially the jeep with machine guns, the muzzle of the black hole. Glowing with blue light, the soldiers behind scanned the surroundings with wary eyes.

"General, I said that the Japanese army is attacking Yingshan Anlu and wants to outflank our rear road, can we get ahead of them?"

"Of course there is no problem, as far as I know, there are already troops to stop them, and of course we have to move quickly." Hong Junqi said quietly.

The Japanese army that captured Wusheng Pass, after defeating the 47th Army, went south again, and the 103rd Army occupied the garden in front of them, which was known to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's attack direction immediately turned to Yingshan and Anlu, intending to bypass the garden to occupy Jingshan, Yingcheng, and Jianli, and cut off the road for the squadron to retreat westward, but since the 103rd Army had arrived at the garden, Sun Liren would not sit idly by and watch the Japanese army move, Hong Junqi's only concern was that the 103rd Army was too consumed in the early stage and could not stop the Fifth Division.

Before the road was loosened, Charles saw Webber come out and raised his voice to greet: "Weber, your masterpiece is complete, come out and breathe, this is General Hong Junqi." ”

Weber was overjoyed in his heart, and before he came over in a suit, Hong Junqi stretched out his hand to him: "You are Mr. Weber, I have long heard the Cultural Revolution talk about you, and he said that you are a friend of the Chinese." ”

"It's a great honor, I've heard of the general for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity to interview the general, and I'm so lucky to meet him today." Weber has long wanted to interview Hong Junqi, who has been interviewing on the front line for a long time, he knows very well that the logistics of the squadron is very difficult, and Hong Junqi, who is the commander of logistics, is of course one of the most important people in the whole base camp, and Hong Junqi is not a general in the Huangpu department, but he is very trusted by Chiang Kai-shek, so that he handed over such an important position as the logistics command to him, making him one of the first Huangpu generals to be promoted to the center.

, Among all the Chinese generals, the most difficult to interview is Hong Junqi, Hong Junqi 7 Bridge Stove Base Camp, always busy in various places, Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, Nanchang, Zhengzhou can be seen in his figure, his plane was in distress several times, so much so that Chiang Kai-shek ordered to ban him from flying.

Logan and Charles noticed at the same time that Hong Junqi reached out to Webb, but did not reach out to them, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they had to listen to them greet each other.

"You're writing for a newspaper?" Hong Junqi asked, Weber nodded, and Hong Junqi said, "Can you read it?" ”

"Of course, please correct." Weber turned around and pulled the car door and took out the article and handed it to Hong Junqi, who read it carefully and said calmly: "You are wrong about one thing, even without the assistance of the United States and Britain, we can defeat the Japanese." The blockade of the Burma road has caused us difficulties, but we are prepared. ”

"I have no doubt about that." Weber said solemnly, then turned to the jeep behind him: "The chauffeur is proof that who would have thought that China could build such an off-road vehicle a few years ago." ”

"This is American technology, technology that we bought from the United States." Hong Junqi did not hide it and laughed: "When the Cultural Revolution told us to build cars, we didn't believe it, but the result was that we can build thousands of trucks every year, but the production of this kind of jeep is still insufficient." ”

Of course, Hong Junqi didn't know that the real jeep would have to wait a year for it to appear, and Zhuang Jihua ripened it in advance and then transplanted it to China.

Webb and Charles smiled slightly, the diplomatic community had long speculated that Chongqing's industrial technology came from the United States, and now it was confirmed in Hong Junqi's mouth, but they didn't know how they operated it.

"After the Japanese occupy Wuhan, what will they attack there next?" Webb asked.

"Then you still need to guess, Xiangkui, Changsha, Yichang, and consolidate the periphery of Wuhan." There was some regret in Hong Junqi's tone, this time the defense of Wuhan dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. The great victory of the Nanxun Line on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Fujin Mountain Resistance Battle in Dabie Mountain, and the Battle of Qiantai all inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army, but they never succeeded in turning the tide of the war, and finally had to give up Wuhan regrettably.

"With the strength of the Japanese army, can you attack three targets at once?" Weber asked with some concern: "If Yichang can't hold it, I'm afraid we will go to Chongqing." ”

"There's no need to worry, as the Japanese have always done. In the south, they occupied Guangzhou, and the next step must be to open up the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, so it is most likely to attack Changsha in the south, followed by Xiangfan, Suixian, Zaoyang, and northwest Hubei; The Japanese had to occupy this area to keep Wuhan safe; Finally, there is Yichang, which is the gateway to Sichuan, and the capture of this place can threaten Sichuan, that is, Chongqing. ”

Hong Junqi's tone was calm, but Webb and Charles Rogan rushed to a strong confidence that we were prepared and we would overcome them here.

Weber sighed softly: "In the eyes of Western military observers, China's most warlike general is General Zhuang Jihua, and the Fifth Theater suffered repeated defeats in this defense of Wuhan, the main reason is that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek transferred General Zhuang out of the Fifth Theater, if he was there." This time Wuhan will be able to hold on, just like Nanjing and Xuzhou. ”

Hong Junqi shook his head after thinking about it seriously: "I can't think so, the late operation in the Fifth Theater was commanded by General Bai Chongxi, his command ability is not worse than the Cultural Revolution, the main reason for the failure of the defense of Wuhan is that the strength of the Japanese army is stronger than we imagined, our strength is still insufficient, giving up Wuhan is not equal to defeat, the Japanese army's front is longer, our logistics line is shorter, in addition, we are strengthening industrial construction in the southwest, as long as there are three or four, we will have enough industrial base to revitalize the troops, That's when we will counterattack, and once we launch a counteroffensive, we will not stop until we reach Japan. ”

"General, we have heard that there are people in your government who advocate peace talks, such as Mr. Wang Jingwei?" Charles asked

"In addition, we have also heard that the failure of the defense of Wuhan has led to a decline in the prestige of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and he can no longer control the squadron." Logan also asked.

Hong Junqi smiled faintly, turned his head and said to them: "War is always testing people, you look at this road, some people go this way, some people go that way, Mr. Wang Jingwei is a veteran of our party, I believe he will not do anything sorry for the country and the nation." As for the chairman, that is even more nonsense. ”

As he was talking, there was a joyful commotion in front, the truck finally crawled out of the mud puddle after a roar, and slowly moved westward, and the pedestrians waiting next to him returned to the carriage one after another, and Hong Junqi's driver also returned, he wiped the oil on his hands while walking, and muttered in his mouth, Hong Junqi saw this and said goodbye to the three reporters.

But Hong Junqi didn't expect that while they were talking on the road, on the second floor of the Hong Kong East Asia Trading Company, Takeo Imai and Seiaki Kagesa were drinking and chatting with Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping.
