, which can only be described as crazy; Wuhan, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, all the Chinese are crazy, in the past six months China has lost Pingjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, including the most important Shanghai, but now, Nanjing, the capital that was thought to be lost, actually defended, killed a major general, and almost completely annihilated a brigade, .qВ5, C0m/first/send This sudden good news immediately threw China into the sea of revelry.

"The king of Hannei passed on the good news, and the poems and books were ecstatic." Fu Sinian, a professor at Peking University who fled to Wuhan, was overjoyed to change his poems to congratulate him, while the temporary political center of Wuhan erupted into a sustained revelry, with almost all the shops selling out of liquor and people spontaneously rallying to pray for the blessings of the soldiers defending the city of Nanjing.

The whistle sounded at the wharf of the Shanghai Concession, and the resistance activities in the concession area suddenly rose, and the traitors who had taken refuge with the Japanese were panicked.

Guangzhou held a large-scale deliberate demonstration, and in one day it raised 2 million legal dollars for military spending; Hong Kong citizens launched a boycott of Japanese goods, wrote to the Governor of Hong Kong, demanding that Japanese ships be banned from arriving in Hong Kong, and dock unions organized a boycott of Japanese ships and refused to load and unload goods for Japanese ships. Singapore's Tan Kah Kee was anxious that Nanyang Chinese businessmen announced that they would break off economic relations with Japan, stop all economic and trade exchanges with the Japanese, and organize overseas Chinese youths in Nanyang to return to China to participate in the war.

Just when the Japanese were holding their breath and preparing to cheer for the capture of Nanjing, the Chinese gave them a slap in the face, and instead of taking Nanjing, Matsui Ishine had two divisions surrounded near Guangde, and Wan Yuren was eliminated, and the Chinese taught the Japanese a lesson in strategy. … Weber ridiculed the Japanese military in the Washington Observer while calling on the U.S. government to adopt a tougher policy toward Japan.

"If the West allows Japan to occupy China, if you look at the map, you will know that in the future the West in the Far East will have to listen to Japan's will, Tanaka Sotaki said, if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China; If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria; Japan is following this step by step to realize its ambition of conquering the world.

The interests of the United States of America demanded that Washington intervene in the Sino-Japanese war as soon as possible, or at least immediately stop the export of strategic materials to Japan, which was not high, but it was decisive for Japan, and could prompt them to withdraw their troops from China as soon as possible. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was so excited that he even walked a little lightly, and even made an exception to attend a mass meeting in Wuhan, saying that he would resolutely resist the war to the end and would never accept any surrender treaty.

"Jiansheng, has Du Yuming arrived in Guangde? Where is he now? Chiang Kai-shek's red face was full of light, and as soon as he got in the car, he asked Bai Chongxi.

"It's in Anhui, and Zhang Lihui of the 1st Forward Division is still two days away from Guangde." Bai Chongxi's expression was very calm, when the news of the Japanese army's retreat from Nanjing City came, he was also unexpected, he didn't expect that Nanjing was really defended, and it caused a sensation in the base camp at that time.

Soon, though. Matsui Ishinechi's movement came. The 6th Division, the 9th Division, and the 13th Division formed the Southward Corps. More than 40,000 men from three divisions quickly moved south to reinforce them.

Of course, Zhuang Jihua will not sit idly by and watch Matsui Shigen go south. Launched a counteroffensive under the city of Nanjing. Quickly regain the sentence volume. Danyang, Jintan. Wujin. In one fell swoop, all positions on the periphery of Nanjing were recovered. Drive the Japanese back to the Xicheng line.

The city of Nanjing was defeated. The whole country of Japan was shocked. Emperor Hirohito blamed himself for the first time at the Imperial Council. Prime Minister Konoe led all the members of the cabinet to petition the emperor.

Out of the palace. Konoe called an emergency meeting of the cabinet members. It was decided that the Chinese government could not be negotiated under such circumstances. Immediately send more troops to Central China. The 5th and 10th Divisions were transferred from North China. The 7th Division was transferred from Manchuria. The three divisions were immediately transferred to Central China; Five divisions and regiments, including the 21st Division, the 106th Division, and the 110th Division, were formed in China. All new divisions were formed within three months.

The Japanese war machine was at full speed. The 5th Division, which had assembled in Pingjindi, immediately boarded the ship and headed south. The 10th Division was quickly transported to Tanggu at the assembly area near Dezhou. Board the boat at Tanggu and head south. The 7th Division boarded at Arthur.

And Chiang Kai-shek was also making a heavy bet on Nanjing. Except for Du Yuming's 60th Army. The 22nd Group Army of the Sichuan Army, the Tang-style Zundi, was also ordered to leave Sichuan. The Hunan army and the Gui army were also transferred out of the province. Subsequently, it planned to transfer troops from North China. But Zhuang Jihua was firmly opposed.

"The purpose of the Battle of Nanjing is to delay time and consume the Japanese army's strength, not to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in Nanjing, and in the Battle of Songhu, our troops suffered serious losses, so we should take this opportunity to recuperate and prepare for another battle."

Zhuang Jihua first sent a few telegrams explanatory, but later became impatient and simply told Chiang Kai-shek not to say that they would not arrive in time, and even if they did, he would not let them enter the Nanjing theater.

If such words were to be said by another person, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would have been furious and at least dismissed, but Zhuang Jihua said it, but Chiang Kai-shek quietly accepted it.

Whether or not Ushijima and Suesong can be annihilated depends on whether Du Yuming can arrive in Guangde in time, but Bai Chongxi thinks that even if Du Yuming arrives, it is unlikely to annihilate Ushijima and Suesong.

"Too slow, they are too slow, Chiang Kai-shek was a little dissatisfied.

"It's not slow, Du Guangting is starting from Yunnan, this is the road to Yunnan," Bai Chongxi shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Chairman, we may not be able to give too high hope to the Guangde front, the three divisions of the Japanese army are going south, and Lan Yundong is now only 12,300 people, I'm afraid I can't stop it." ”

Lan Yundong defeated the Kunizaki detachment, but the cost was not small, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us reached more than 10,000 people, and the difficulty of blocking the army of 40,000 tigers and wolves can be imagined.

Chiang Kai-shek hesitated, there were bursts of shouts from outside the car, he opened the curtains, and saw a group of soldiers outside walking in line, Bai Chongxi glanced at it and said: "This is a new soldier, Zhuang Wenge asked Li Zhilong and Liu Xiang to send 100,000 recruits to the front line as soon as possible, of which 70,000 went to Nanjing, 30,000 went to Guangde, Du Guangting did not fire a shot, and 30,000 recruits from Yunnan have already gone on the road." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "Chairman, how to deal with Deng Jinkang's matter?" ”

After Deng Xihou arrived in Shanxi, he had a ball of fire in his stomach, first the troops were divided and used, and as a result, the battle on both sides was not fought well, and after retreating to Zhongtiao Mountain, Yan Xishan refused to provide military supplies on the grounds that the Sichuan army had its own logistics supply, and later it actually developed to refuse to provide food. This move angered the 23rd Group Army, Deng Xihou sent people to rob several grain depots and munitions depots, and Yan Xishan complained to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that the Sichuan army was corrupt and that it was a disaster for Shanxi, and demanded that they be transferred. And Deng Xihou did not show weakness, and even sent a telegram to the Military Commission, asking to leave the World War II zone, and even offered to join the war under Zhuang Jihua in Nanjing.

"Alas, this is strange, Yang Sen and Sun Zhen are playing very well, and this Deng Jinkang's equipment is not bad, why are they the same? It seems that it really responded to that sentence and will be a nest of bears. Chiang Kai-shek sighed, and he consulted Cheng Qian in the First War Zone

, Cheng Qian didn't dare to ask for it.

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while and then said: "Then ask Zhuang if he wants the Cultural Revolution." ”

"Long live the Sichuan Army!" There were cheers outside the car window again, and this time Chiang Kai-shek heard it clearly, and his face turned gloomy sharply.

When he returned to the Military Commission, he called He Jinhan, who knew that something was wrong when he saw Chiang Kai-shek's face, but he didn't know what was going on.

"What has the DPA been doing lately?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

The Political Department of the base camp is a new institution, which is formed by the merger of the Sixth Department of the original base camp and the Political Training Office of the Military Commission and the Political Training Office of the Training Director Department.

There are three departments under the Ministry of Political Affairs, with He Jinhan as the director, who is responsible for the compilation and review of laws and regulations, the appointment and dismissal of political workers, the selection of cadres, communication and personnel registration, the performance appraisal of all political workers, rewards and punishments, and personnel administration research.

In the second department, Kang Ze is the director, responsible for the design of training and political work, guidance and assessment of training, editing and review of training, and research on training.

In the third department, He Jinhan is also the director, responsible for the design guidance of various propaganda, the editing and review of various propaganda materials at home and abroad and the enemy, the recruitment of condolence, printing and distribution, design assessment and cultural services, the research on the enemy situation and international issues, the research on drama, film, music, singing, painting, etc., of which the second art factory is in charge of the editing of international propaganda posters, woodcut production and photo photography collection related to the anti-Japanese war and the founding of the country.

He replied in a regular manner: "During this time, the main purpose of this period was to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance, especially the victory in Nanjing, and to open a political work training school in Wuhan. ”

He Zhenhan felt a little bitter in his heart, after the Xi'an Incident, although Chiang Kai-shek did not treat him, it was obvious that he was not as close as before, although he still made him the director, but if there was no Xi'an, he had ninety percent hope for the director of the Political Department.

"How is the Blue Coat Society doing?" Chiang Kai-shek remained calm.

He Jinhan knew that Chiang Kai-shek had started to play that set again, and today's was definitely not the business of the Blue Coat Society: "After the principal's order, the Blue Coat Club has stopped its activities, and I... I don't know much about what happened over there. ”

"Back then, you presided over the Blue Coat Society, and today it's up to you to end it, you can discuss with them and disband."

However, he had expected it a long time ago, and He Jinhan couldn't help but feel a layer of sadness in his heart, and the vigorous blue-clothed society movement was quietly extinguished, and millions of blue-clothed society members disappeared like an autumn wind, leaving only a heavy sigh.

"Propaganda should be correctly guided, long live the Sichuan army, isn't the Sichuan army under the leadership of the central government, and isn't it in the sequence of the National Government's War of Resistance? The Sichuan army fought well this time, but the commander was my Huangpu classmate, the same Sichuan army, the same equipment, why Deng Jinkang did not fight well in Shanxi, this is very revealing. Chiang Kai-shek's voice became a little stern.

He Zhenhan thought about it carefully, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, the circulation of the Yuzhou Evening News is getting bigger and bigger, and it has been sent to Wuhan, Mei Youlan praised the Sichuan Army in the newspaper, and as a result, there were people shouting Long live the Sichuan Army in several mass meetings, and the reason why Chiang Kai-shek was angry was here.

"The students understand that the main credit for Nanjing's great victory is our Central Army's 49th Group Army, which is our Central Army." He Zhenhan replied quickly: "However, the mass demonstrations were all personally planned and organized by Vice Minister Zhou, and there were many members of the Communist Party in the other three halls, including Vice Minister Zhou, Yang Hansheng, Tian Han, and other pro-Communist literati, and the students were lonely..."

Chiang Kai-shek thought about it and felt that what He Jinhan said was the truth, but now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were cooperating to resist Japan, these three halls were originally used to accommodate people who were pro-communist, so let them make trouble.

"You are the director of the hall, they still have to listen to your words, and you have to fight hard when Zhou E comes, and you can't shout inappropriate slogans." Chiang Kai-shek's tone was much more relaxed.

He Zhenhan breathed a sigh of relief, this level was passed, he never thought that Chiang Kai-shek glanced at him and said: "Junshan, you are in charge of two halls, there are many things, but don't slack off, learn from the Cultural Revolution, the development of the southwest, the mayor of Chongqing, everything is done by yourself, now you see, if you have a chance, you can ask him for advice." ”

He Zhenhan agreed, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, he secretly held his breath since Huangpu, he admitted that he couldn't catch up with Zhuang Jihua to lead the troops, but he didn't lose to him in other aspects, but now, he lost completely.

After He Zhenhan left, Tang Zong came in and reported that Yang Yongtai had asked him to see him, and Chiang Kai-shek was slightly relieved, and then said please.

Yang Yongtai has just come out of Nanjing, and compared with Gu Zhenglun, he walks brightly and brilliantly. When the periphery of Nanjing was broken through, Zhuang Jihua let him go, he said that the local officials had the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the war, he was the mayor of Nanjing, as long as Nanjing was still in the hands of the Chinese, he was the mayor of Nanjing, and resolutely refused to leave.

On the contrary, Gu Zhenglun asked to go back to the rear to recuperate when the Wufu line was critical, but Zhuang Jihua refused, Gu Zhenglun passed the relationship to Chiang Kai-shek Song Meiling, Song Meiling pleaded with Chiang Kai-shek, saying that instead of letting Gu Zhenglun cause chaos for Zhuang Jihua in Nanjing, it was better to let him go, let him go back to recuperate, and take the opportunity to remove him from the post of commander of the military police. Zhuang Jihua was also not polite, and took the opportunity to propose the appointment of Xiao Shanling as the commander of the gendarmerie, and Chiang Kai-shek agreed, so Gu Zhenglun returned to the rear to recuperate.

"Changqing, thank you for your hard work." As soon as Yang Yongtai came in, Chiang Kai-shek was very enthusiastic, he had always thought that Yang Yongtai was pro-Japanese and a weak scholar, but he didn't expect that this time he actually had such courage, and he was not afraid of the dangerous city.

Yang Yongtai smiled faintly: "There, this is Yang's obligation." ”

"If officials at all levels can be like Mr., why should they be invincible in the War of Resistance."

"The chairman of the committee is serious and fulfills his duties."

"How is Nanjing now?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Yang Yongtai to sit down, and then personally beckoned the guards to serve tea to Yang Yongtai. This made Yang Yongtai a little flattered.

He cleared his throat and smiled: "Nanjing is already an empty city, almost all the citizens have run away, and the rest are either soldiers or ambulance teams, or Western journalists." ”

"What about the situation at the front?"

"Attacking Wujin," Yang Yongtai sighed, when he first started the counteroffensive, he was very excited, hoping to fight all the way to Shanghai, at least to restore the Xicheng line, but Zhuang Jihua told him that the counterattack could only be done in moderation, and the troops were almost exhausted, fighting

Don't think about it at all: "I went to see the Cultural Revolution before I left, and he said that the best way to get martial arts is to advance, and I'm afraid it won't work if it's farther away." ”

"Cultural Revolution, let me hand over this letter to the chairman." Yang Yongtai said and took out a letter and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek took it, the envelope was swollen, he tore open the envelope and it was really thick with more than a dozen pieces of paper, Zhuang Jihua analyzed the current situation in the letter, the Japanese army transferred troops from North China and Manchuria to Central China, and the Japanese army in North China was bound to be weak, and the government should take this opportunity to lay out North China, and suggested sending troops into the Taihang Mountains. After the loss of Nanjing, the Japanese army had two directions of operation, one opened the Jinpu Road, and the other continued to advance westward; Comparatively speaking, it is unlikely that the westward advance will be possible, and south of the Yangtze River, the scale of the Japanese army's operation is likely to be aimed at defending Nanjing and sweeping away our army's strongholds on the periphery of Nanjing; It is more likely that the Jinpu line will be opened up and North and Central China will be connected, so it is necessary to immediately increase the strength of the Fifth Theater and launch a counteroffensive in Shandong at the same time. In the end, Zhuang Jihua suggested that since Deng Xihou did not want to be in the second theater and Yan Xishan was not willing to want him, then the 23rd Group Army should be transferred to the fifth theater.

"The Cultural Revolution also said that the Anti-Japanese War was long-term, propaganda was particularly important, and propaganda should be strengthened, and propaganda and mass organizations should not be handed over to others. Yang Yongtai waited for Chiang Kai-shek to read it and then added that Zhuang Jihua's words did not fall on paper.

"Cultural Revolution, be careful in everything," Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and said, "He is going around the bay to intercede with Deng Wenyi." ”

After the Xi'an Incident, Deng Wenyi was arrested, and when Zhuang Jihua took over the commander of the Nanjing garrison, he asked Chiang Kai-shek to release the criminal officers who were imprisoned in Nanjing Prison, and Chiang Kai-shek agreed.

Deng Wenyi re-entered the army in this way, Zhuang Jihua still asked him to be in charge of propaganda and mobilization, of course, he would never let him lead troops, this person has never led troops. However, after the evacuation of Nanjing citizens, Deng Wenyi had nothing to do, nothing to do all day, Zhuang Jihua asked him to take a few work teams to the cities and villages of Jiangbei, with only one task, to publicize and recruit recruits, and then hand over these recruits to Hu Zongnan, so that Hu Zongnan was responsible for training. Even so, Zhuang Jihua still thinks that Deng Wenyi is overkill.

But among the Huangpu classmates in the Xi'an incident, Chiang Kai-shek hated not He Jinhan the most, but Deng Wenyi. After Deng Wenyi returned from Soviet Russia, Chiang Kai-shek has been promoting and reusing him, letting him be in charge in Guangzhou during the Qing Party, and later letting him serve as a guard by his side for several years, which can be said to be the one with the most intentions, but he didn't expect to betray him in the end, which made Chiang Kai-shek very angry, so no one dared to intercede for him at this time, even Zhuang Jihua could only come around the bend.

Chiang Kai-shek saw through Zhuang Jihua's intentions at a glance, Yang Yongtai couldn't say anything at this time, Deng Wenyi hurt Chiang Kai-shek's heart, this is not a matter of talent.

"What is Teng Jie doing in Nanjing?" Chiang Kai-shek remembered what He Jinhan said just now, he was lonely in the third hall, and he couldn't help but think of Teng Jie, a propaganda master.

"The Cultural Revolution asked him to take people to the villages near Wuhu to engage in propaganda and recruitment." Yang Yongtai couldn't help but sigh again: "I only now understand why the Cultural Revolution emphasized the reserve so much in Sichuan, it's really difficult, almost all the troops are only half left, or even less than half, the Cultural Revolution is there, not only to think about the present but also to think about the future, only sleep two or three hours a day, and the whole person has lost weight." ”

"Don't worry, I have already ordered Zhang Wenbai to go to Hunan, and he promised to recruit 50,000 recruits soon to provide to the front." Chiang Kai-shek comforted Yang Yongtai, in fact, he knew that these 50,000 people could only be said to be able to hold guns, and without a few months of training, they could not go to the battlefield at all.

"Mr. Changqing, I want you to go to Sichuan, or serve as the mayor of Chongqing," Chiang Kai-shek said in a rambling voice, and now Chongqing is the capital of Chongqing, which can be compared to the mayor of Nanjing, but... But not in the center.

Yang Yongtai did not answer, in fact, let him choose the place, if he could not stay in the central government, he would rather go to Chongqing. After being demoted last time, he somewhat understood that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the central government, it would never be possible without the support of the system, and the Department of Political Science was so loud at the beginning, and it would collapse if it was said that it would collapse, and the Chen brothers not only firmly controlled the party department, but also controlled the special agency of the Central Union, and to fight with them, they must be combined with local forces. And Zhuang Jihua is the most suitable.

However, Yang Yongtai keenly felt that Chiang Kai-shek must have other meanings for letting him go to Chongqing at this moment. Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek said: "In addition to serving as the mayor of Chongqing, he also serves as the deputy captain of the southwest development, and the captain is still Li Zhilong, and you are in charge of product distribution." ”

Yang Yongtai understood that Chiang Kai-shek had taken a fancy to those weapons and equipment, and he didn't want to let those weapons go anymore, so he let Zhuang Jihua equip the Sichuan army, so he wanted such a crooked move.

The reason why it is said to be a crooked trick is that Yang Yongtai is a member of the Central Committee, Li Zhilong is not, and his status in the party is higher than that of Li Zhilong, but he asked him to be Li Zhilong's deputy, which is a little funny.

"Chairman of the committee, all factories in Chongqing belong to the Sichuan Development Company," Yang Yongtai reminded with a smile in his heart: "The products are also owned by the Sichuan Development Company, and Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou can't take anything from the company at will, they have to pay." ”

Chiang Kai-shek remembered that Zhuang Jihua was a company at the beginning, and the company's shareholders included all the powerful factions in Sichuan, and he also reported to him, but he didn't expect that this company would become the biggest obstacle now.

Yang Yongtai didn't dare to put forward any ideas, he knew the position of Southwest Development in Zhuang Jihua's heart, and whoever wanted to do something about it would be Zhuang Jihua's mortal enemy, and he would inevitably be counterattacked by Zhuang Jihua.

"You do it first, and the central government should give priority to meeting it later, especially the tank ground rocket launcher." Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and didn't find a good way, but the words had already been spoken, and it was not easy to take them back, and if Yang Yongtai was mixed with the sand, there might be a chance in the future.

"Okay, I'll go to Chongqing." Yang Yongtai stood up to say goodbye, but Chiang Kai-shek said with concern: "Don't worry, first rest in Wuhan for two days and meet with the masses from all walks of life. ”
