Chapter 1427 Bargging

Qingpu County, Jiangsu Province. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingpu is located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, in the lower reaches of Taihu Lake and the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. It is the west gate of Shanghai to the mainland, and it is the transportation hub of two provinces and one city.

The newly completed Dianshanhu Airport on the West Fourth Highway in Qingpu County can accommodate 150 fighters at the same time, and a cloister pavilion near Dianshan Lake in the west of the airport is the place where Huang Yutang, a famous landowner in Qingpu County, spends his summer.

As the most important operational command and monitoring center of the entire former enemy command, it has the most advanced computers, electronic display systems, radio communication systems, and other equipment in the world, and has extremely high scientific and technological content.

In order to support the anti-air operations in the entire Songhu battlefield, the Air Force has deployed 10 radar companies directly under the Air Force on the south bank of the Yangtze River and along the front line of Hangzhou Bay.

The radar company has a radar platoon, a tank platoon, and a guard platoon.

Among them, the combat vehicle platoon is equipped with 20 anti-aircraft quadruple artillery vehicles, and the guard platoon has 10 six-wheeled armored combat vehicles.

This is a new eight-wheeled radar combat vehicle produced by the Syrian Tractor Factory, the whole body is painted in camouflage, the front of the vehicle has a shooting platform that can accommodate two people, and the weapon is a Zhongzheng Type 5 general-purpose machine gun. On the top of the compartment in the middle and rear parts of the body, there is a parabolic directional radar that can be retracted and rotated flexibly.

After years of research and especially got the Frankenstein Nikola. Tesla's guidance has now enabled the new radar to effectively monitor 100 kilometers of airspace. In the compartment under the radar, there is an advanced electronic operating platform connected with the radar and radio system, there is a small electronic display screen on the operating platform, once an abnormal situation occurs, the alarm bell on the electronic operating platform will be the first to sound, and then the red warning light will begin to flash, and the electronic screen will display the information collected by the radar in time. After confirming that this is an enemy fighter, the radar crew will immediately transmit the collected detection information back to the combat command and control center through radio waves.

After receiving the information transmitted back by the forward radar, the electronic computer will process and analyze the radar data, immediately make a threat judgment, list the number of enemy planes, their course, and the time of arrival at each strategic point, and the results will be displayed on graphic displays, tabular displays, and large-screen displays.

Based on this information, the commander reports to his superiors and directs his subordinates.

At 9:52 a.m., the alarm bell rang loudly at the entire headquarters. Major General Yang Kosky and other generals and colonels quickly rushed to the operational command and monitoring center.

As more and more red dots flashed on the big screen, comparing the information on the graphic display and the table display, Yu Zhixiang and the air force generals and colonels became more and more grim.

Since Lin Fei, the No. 3 person in the Air Force, was holding a meeting at the headquarters of the Anjia Army in Nanxiang, Yu Zhixiang briefly discussed with the generals and colonels in the command headquarters for a while and came up with a preliminary battle plan.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Yu Zhixiang did not dare to hesitate, quickly picked up the intercom, and loudly issued combat orders to all regiments of the Southwest Air Force.

......

Nanjing, resting house.

Chiang Kai-shek was very happy to receive a telegram from French Ambassador Gu Weijun, the chief representative of China to the League of Nations Congress, early in the morning, and made an exception and did not rush to the Military Committee early, but stayed at home to have breakfast with Soong Meiling.

In order to cause a sensation, Chiang Kai-shek specially asked the Oriental Film Company to complete the editing and post-production earlier this month, and the documentary film "Evidence of Crime," which reflects the enemy's flagrant violation of international conventions in China and the brutal massacre of innocent people in the Pingjin area, had its world premiere at the Geneva League of Nations Congress, triggering tremendous repercussions.

At this time, governments around the world just woke up from a dream, it turned out that it was really a certain country that took the lead in using poison gas bombs on a large scale against the squadron, and only then was the retaliatory remarks of An Yi, a senior general of the squadron.

Perhaps in order to make up for the mistake, in addition to the opposition of the representative of a certain country and the abstention of the representatives of Britain, Italy, and the Soviet Union, the representatives of various countries, including France, unanimously passed a resolution urging a certain country to fulfill the covenant of the League of Nations and immediately end the war in China. If a certain country refuses to accept it and there is no change for more than half a month, then a certain country will be expelled from the League of Nations in accordance with the League of Nations Treaty, and at the same time, before the war is over, the members of the League of Nations will impose sanctions on a certain country and provide financial and other assistance to China in resisting the enemy's aggression.

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with the fruitful results of this congress, and at least in terms of international morality, this time China won a complete victory, and it was up to the government of a certain country to react.

With the public release of the two-hour documentary film "Evidence of Crime" in Europe and the United States, China's War of Resistance has attracted the attention of public opinion around the world.

The National Executive Committee of the British Labour Party issued a manifesto, criticizing a certain country's despicable acts of invading China and openly using poison gas bombs, and demanding that the British Parliament take necessary measures to make a certain country respect international law, and then the Labour Party passed a formal bill to express sympathy for the Chinese people's war of resistance and severely condemn the aggression and atrocities of a certain country; The American Anti-War League issued a manifesto opposing a certain country's aggression against China and calling on the American people to resist it; The United States Seamen's Union, the New York Seamen's Union, and the International Dockmen's Union unanimously advocated banning the shipment of war supplies to a certain country, declaring a certain country an aggressor country, and the United States should intervene in a certain country's invasion of China. The Governor General of Australia recently announced that a certain country's aggression against China should be severely condemned, and expressed deep sympathy for China's self-defense actions, and that Australia would temporarily suspend trade and trade with a certain country in order to urge a certain country to return to the right track.

Seeing this inspiring message, Chiang Kai-shek felt that China had won a major diplomatic victory at the League of Nations Congress, and that the government of a certain country would inevitably succumb to international pressure and take the initiative to come to the door to discuss the important matters of peace, and as long as the enemy troops could withdraw from the border and maintain the front until the pre-war state, it would be an acceptable result for the Chinese government. Next, the government will make great efforts to make the country prosperous, take advantage of the opportunity of the great changes in the international situation, unify the military and the government, vigorously develop the economy and people's livelihood, and then reorganize the armed forces, wait for the soldiers to be well fed, and then go out of the customs to recover the homeland.

After breakfast, just as Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to leave for the Military Commission to start his day's work, more than 20 European and American reporters, including Duan Na, a reporter from Australia's "Daily Telegraph," Berg, a reporter from the "New York Times," Rehm, a reporter from the Washington Post, a reporter from Time Magazine, and Federer, a reporter from the British "Times," came on a joint visit.

Duan Na, an internationally renowned figure who came to China before the Xinhai Revolution, served as a political advisor to Sun Yat-sen, the Beiyang government, and Zhang Xueliang, and in 1934 served as a personal adviser to Tejie Shek. Unlike most Western adventurers who come to China, Tuanna has always had a certain sense of serious social responsibility for China's reform process that transcends personal interests. As of this year, he has been in China for more than 30 years, and has enthusiastically helped Sun Yat-sen revolutionize, helped the Beiyang government formulate reform policies, helped Zhang Xueliang quit smoking, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and now helped the Chinese government in the war of resistance. He may have Western-style political ambitions and a desire to make a splash, but after all, he linked the utilitarian goals of his personal career with the historical process of reforming the Chinese regime, and he can be regarded as an old friend of the Chinese people.

Today's Duanna, wearing a soldier's uniform made of yellow cloth, looks a little funny. In fact, this group of reporters had just returned from North China, and their blood was boiling when they saw the million-strong army crossing the Yellow River north, so they couldn't wait to share their feelings with Chiang Kai-shek.

"Darling, you see, what a great warrior our friend Mr. Duanna is!" Song Meiling sat on the sofa, affectionately held Duanna's hand, and said to Chiang Kai-shek in a slightly exaggerated manner.

"Dear Mr. Duanna, China would like to thank you and your friends to the world for your support. It is precisely because of your news reports that the whole world has learned the truth about China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that it has achieved such great success at this League of Nations Congress! On behalf of the Chinese Government and people, I would like to thank you. ”

Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile on his face.

"Chairman of the Committee, this interview in the north has touched us a lot, your soldiers are very brave, and the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance is very high, verygood! However, your country is too poor, the people do not have enough to eat, and the catastrophic floods that occurred in northern Henan and central and southern Hebei at the end of last month and early this month led to a drastic reduction in grain production! The people need peace, they need food, they don't need war. ”

Duan Na stood up and danced with his hands, and the excitement made Chiang Kai-shek and the visiting reporters laugh. Westerners are like this, unlike the Chinese, who are steady and reserved, do not smile, and everyone hides their joys, sorrows, and sorrows in their hearts. Although Chiang Kai-shek did not like foreigners very much, he made an exception and expressed his personal affection for Mr. Duanna. This was because he decided that Duanna had no ambition for his power.

"We need thousands of Western friends like Mr. Duanna and Mr. Journalists here to uphold justice and give spiritual and material support to our people, and we will surely win the war of resistance......

Before Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, Chen Bui walked into the rest house with a serious face, and when he saw a room full of Western reporters, he was stunned for a moment, took the initiative to slow down, came to Chiang Kai-shek's side, and whispered in his ear.

Chiang Kai-shek's expression changed slightly, he stood up and apologized apologetically to Duan Na and a group of European and American reporters, waved goodbye, and then left briskly with Chen Bui.

......

At this time, Chen Cheng's urgent report had shocked the base camp.

Chief of Staff He Yingqin was panicked and didn't know what to do for a while. The enemy's attack on the city of Hangzhou from the eastern part of Zhejiang across the Qiantang River bridge meant that the situation in eastern Zhejiang had completely deteriorated, but it was not clear what was happening on that land.

He Yingqin was completely confused, and he no longer knew which ones were true and which ones were false. You must know that yesterday's telephone calls of government dignitaries in Ningbo, Shaoxing, and other places and military chiefs stationed in various places are still clearly visible, and now the call records are still clearly visible, how come these places have fallen into the hands of a certain country in the blink of an eye?

Chiang Kai-shek walked quickly into the war room of the Military Commission, strode to the map, and pointed to the mountains southwest of Hangzhou on the map: "Where are the enemy troops attacking now?" ”

Huang Shaohong, the first director of the base camp who served as chairman of Zhejiang Province for three years, was very aware of the situation in Hangzhou City and took the initiative to introduce the current situation:

"In just a quarter of an hour, General Cixiu made three phone calls in a row, the first of which was to call the police, saying that the city of Hangzhou had been shelled by the enemy, and he had dispatched troops to defend it; The second call was only three minutes apart, and he said that the enemy army was transporting troops through the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway, breaking through the Qiantang River Bridge with three trains with additional carriages, and the first attack was the defense line built by General Liu Jianxu at Hupao Mountain and Daci Mountain, the purpose of which should be to control the Qiantang River Bridge, so that follow-up reinforcements could pass through this bridge and rush to Hangzhou in a steady stream; The third call, 12 minutes after the previous one, said that the defenders of the three brigades of the 10th Army had collapsed before reinforcements could arrive under the rapid attack of the enemy, and that the fighting had now spread to the second line of defense, and that General Zhang Fakui was mobilizing troops to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale: "Liu Huixian is stupid and incompetent, he has no way to command the troops, and the enemy soldiers are approaching the city without knowing it...... If it weren't for his loyalty, I wouldn't spare him this time! Although Zhu Xianglin is knowledgeable and talented in governing the world, it is not his forte to clean up the mess of the troubled times, and Zhejiang has to find a person who is familiar with both military affairs and proficient in government affairs to sit in the town, so as to stabilize the overall situation and prevent the overall situation from collapsing! I don't know if the government and the military officials, who can relieve my worries? ”

Huang Shaohong hesitated for a moment, and took the initiative to ask: "Commission, the evolution of the war situation in Zhejiang is dazzling, although Ji Kuan doesn't know what happened in eastern Zhejiang, but it can be expected that the situation is not optimistic, and the top priority is to mobilize heavy troops to block the enemy's westward attack and northward advance." If the commission trusts Ji Kuan, Ji Kuan is willing to shepherd Zhejiang and solve problems for the commission. ”

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he held Huang Shaohong's hand with satisfaction, and nodded again and again: "With Ji Kuan going, it will naturally be better." The matter of transferring troops is urgent, Ji Kuan thinks, who should be transferred to Zhejiang to participate in the war? ”

"Commission, please forgive me for saying bluntly, so far, the first line of Baocang, Hebei Province, has gathered a million troops, but the central and southern Hebei regions, just suffered from a catastrophic flood, the people's livelihood is difficult, the original plan to raise food on the spot can no longer be realized, if the war with the enemy army at this time, our army's food supply can not be guaranteed at all, rather than staying in North China to consume food in vain, it is better to temporarily shrink the troops back, retract the fist to beat people, it is more powerful!"

Huang Shaohong saw that Chiang Kai-shek's face was a little ugly, and knew that Chairman Chiang was still trying to use the huge army in North China to force a certain country to negotiate peace, so he had to say again:

"Of course, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the armies in North China and Central China can only serve as reserve forces temporarily, so I suggest that the top priority at the moment is to transfer General Wenbai's Ninth Army and General Shangguan Yunxiang's Eleventh Army to Hangzhou to participate in the battle and block the enemy's northward advance. In addition, General An Yi has sent a telegram to the base camp, he has transferred the 49th Army of Xiangxi and the 69th Army of Qianxi to Nanchang in the name of the commander of the First Group Army. ”

"Oh? Did An Yi mobilize the armies of Xiangxi and Qianxi? Chiang Kai-shek asked with some surprise.

Bai Chongxi duly handed over An Yi's troop transfer report in the name of the First Group Army, and Chiang Kai-shek carefully browsed it, and when he saw that An Yi had even ordered the Yunnan army to immediately carry out a general mobilization, he was awe-struck and knew that An Yi had fully anticipated the seriousness of the war in Zhejiang.

However, Chiang Kai-shek immediately thought that if even the Ninth Army was transferred out of Shanghai, wouldn't the entire Songhu area be supported by the An Jiajun alone? At the moment, he said with some hesitation: "Is it appropriate for the An Jiajun to face the enemy's three divisions alone in the Shanghai area?" ”

Huang Shaohong just wanted to explain, He Yingqin's heart was like electricity, and he had already answered first:

"Headmaster, with the enemy's fear of the Anjia Army, it is better to transfer the Ninth Army than to the New Second Army. The commission may order that the New Second Army be temporarily transferred to the command of General Mo San, and together with the Eleventh Army Corps, the Fifth Army will be formed. Previously, the Central Military Commission originally planned to form the Fifth Army with the 11th Army Corps, the First Army, and the Eighth Army, but due to a temporary change in strategy, the First Army and the Eighth Army were transferred north, and the Fifth Army's formation plan was shelved. At present, the First Army and the Eighth Army are still stranded in the Zhengzhou and Xuchang areas on the south bank of the Yellow River. ”

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's appreciative smile, He Yingqin was relieved and continued: "Looking at the location of each department, only the New Second Army garrisoning Jiaxing is the closest to Hangzhou. With the enemy's concerns about the Anjia army, when the new second army arrived in eastern Zhejiang, it was the time when the enemy army was annihilated. ”

Bai Chongxi hesitated: "But...... Commission, the new Second Army is directly under the First Group Army, so with such a transfer, will General An have any ideas? ”

Huang Shaohong also said: "In my opinion, it is better to transfer the Ninth Group Army, which is not easy to cause disputes and is more conducive to ......."

He Yingqin interrupted Huang Shaohong's words: "General Ji Kuan, General Jiansheng, may I ask whether the new Second Army is the army of the country, the army of the generalissimo of the three armies, or the personal property of General An?" If it is the army of the state and the army of the chairman, and the normal movement, how can there be disputes? Moreover, the central government can also take this opportunity to see whether General An is dedicated to serving the country or hiding selfish motives, and then we can know how General An will react if after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government unifies the military and political power and recovers the rights and interests of southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan, which General An carefully built for the War of Resistance...... So why not do it? ”

These words reached Chiang Kai-shek's heart at once, and he did not hesitate to give an order immediately:

"General An Yi, commander of the First Group Army: In order to meet the needs of the operation in eastern Zhejiang, the new Second Army was temporarily transferred to the command of General Gu Zhutong of the Fifth Group Army. This order. Chairman of the Military Committee Chiang Chung-cheng. ”

Huang Shaohong and Bai Chongxi glanced at each other, knowing that the matter was irreparable, and couldn't help but secretly shake their heads and sigh.

After He Yingqin recorded Chiang Kai-shek's orders and asked Chiang Kai-shek to sign his name on the document, he turned around and left triumphantly.

Chiang Kai-shek thought that the three armies of the Anjia Army were squeezing the living space of the enemy army in eastern Zhejiang from the west and the north respectively, and his heart was a little more settled, but the concern for his relatives came to his mind again, due to the strange changes in eastern Zhejiang, the current Chiang Kai-shek still does not know whether Fenghua City, especially his hometown Xikou Town, has fallen?

If everything is safe and sound, can you hold on to waiting until the 49th Army arrives? Do you need to send a force at this moment to organize the evacuation of the Xikou clan and villagers?

Just when Chiang Kai-shek was suffering from gains and losses, Lieutenant General Zhao Rui, director of the fourth hall of the base camp, walked into the war room with a heavy face, saw Bai Chongxi, Huang Shaohong, Xiong Shihui, director of the second department of the base camp, Xu Yongchang, director of the military command department, and other generals, nodded in greeting, and then strode up to Chiang Kai-shek, stood up and saluted, respectfully called "chairman," and then sent a thick telegram.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Zhao Rui suspiciously, took the telegram, and only then did he look at it, his face became extremely ugly, and after reading the fifteen-page thick message, he threw it to the ground, and then paced back and forth, scolding as he went:

"Thugs! Mobster! Madman! If the army is full of such evil soldiers, then the status of our country, the honor of the army, and especially the spirit of our Whampoa can be said to be swept away...... Think about it, even the strategic storage warehouses dare to openly rob, if this matter spreads, foreigners will no longer regard our revolutionary soldiers as soldiers, and this kind of mental humiliation is even more uncomfortable than the Japanese invaders occupying our land...... If this situation is not corrected, the officers and men of the army will develop to harass and even rape and plunder everywhere, making the people's livelihood miserable. ”

Bai Chongxi picked up the telegram from the ground and read it in a hurry, his face turned red, because the telegram clearly pointed out that the army involved in the riot included the Gui army, and at this time, Huang Shaohong, Xu Yongchang and others also read the telegram one after another, and they were relatively speechless. Although the base camp had long known that there was a shortage of food in North China, they did not expect that the situation would be so embarrassing and develop to the point of blatant looting.

Huang Shaohong asked, "General Zhao, does General An know about this?" ”

Zhao Rui nodded: "It is estimated that I have received the North China emergency report forwarded by our hall at this moment!" When I got the news, I felt that the matter was serious, so I hurried to report it to the commissioner. If we don't start to solve the food supply problem as soon as possible, today's Baoding looting incident is just the beginning, and it is estimated that more serious things will happen in the future! ”

Just when Chiang Kai-shek was pondering how to deal with the matter in order to appease the anger of the officers and men of the An Jia Army, the air raid sirens inside and outside Nanjing sounded violently for the first time since the start of the Sino-Japanese war.

The Nanjing air defense system, which has achieved information linkage with the Qingpu radar monitoring and command center, has also been calculated by the computer to be within the combat radius of the enemy's fighters, and the alarm will automatically sound.

At the same time, some areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, which are synchronized with the Qingpu Early Warning Center, have also sounded piercing air defense sirens.

......

Shanghai Nanxiang Town, Guyi Garden, Anjia Army Headquarters.

In the war room, An Yi was anxious in the face of several messages that were delivered more than half an hour before and after.

Relatively speaking, the matter in Baoding is best solved, An Yi walked back and forth a few steps, and dictated the message to Major General Li Yufu, the director of the communications department:

"Principal: A million troops have been gathered in North China, the Baoding military station has been destroyed, the Yellow River bridge has been cut off, the normal supply of food and materials cannot be maintained, and the 68th Division, the 5th Air Defense Brigade and the 6th Regiment of the Southwest Air Force are stationed in Baoding.

"Another: At the moment of the war, the military station has been destroyed, and there is no need to hold accountable, and the 50 million military resources are the contribution of our Anjia Army to enrich the strength of the friendly army against the enemy! After the Sixth Air Force Regiment moves to Simao, China's Southwest Air Force will present 50 A25 fighters, 30 A26 fighters, and 30 German JU87 dive bombers to the central authorities, and the Central Air Force can form a new combat cluster on this basis. The 68th Division and the Fifth Air Defense Brigade went south to supply food, don't worry, the officers and men of our army have all received field survival training, reckless mountains, and have their own supplies. Student: An Yi. ”

Li Yufu waited for An Yi to sign his name on the recorded telegram and strode away.

An Yi paced back and forth again, and it didn't take long for his eyes to be full of perseverance, and he turned his head and said loudly:

"The Air Force Command and the armed forces are alarmed to hear that the enemy is using our civilians as their shields to carry out the heinous act of extortion and threat. For such despicable means, if our army retreats from this, it will be tantamount to fueling its arrogance, and in the future, the Japanese will follow suit, bringing even greater harm to our army and people! At this critical juncture for the survival of the country and the nation, our soldiers must certainly have the determination to sacrifice themselves, and the people must also have the courage to lose their ego!

"Therefore, in the future, whenever this case occurs, we will resolutely crack down, and the people who died in our battle will record the time and place, and when the war is over, we will look for their families and relatives, and our Anjia Army will compensate them! This order. An Yi, commander of the An Jiajun. ”

Seeing the grief on An Yi's face when he said this, the generals knew that he had also made a lot of determination to make this difficult decision, and their hearts couldn't help but surge with blood, and their hatred for the Japanese invaders increased out of thin air.

Chief of Staff Yang Fei finished recording An Yi's dictated order, and turned around to leave without waiting for An Yi to sign, An Yi stopped him: "Old Yang, I know what you are thinking, but this order was given by me, and the responsibility should be borne by me, don't want to carry this matter on your shoulders." ”

Yang Fei saw that his mind was pierced by An Yi, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, turned around and walked to An Yi's side, saw An Yi sign his name on the message, and sighed:

"Commander, why are you doing this? You should always show your good side to the world, this kind of almost cold-blooded and ruthless order, it stands to reason that I, the chief of staff, should be the right to recite, so as not to break people's illusions and worship of heroes! ”

"Any illusion about war and heroes is destined to be shattered, war is inherently cruel and heartless, how can it be beautiful? Go ahead, I guess the soldiers of the Second Air Regiment can't wait! ”

Seeing Yang Fei leaving, An Yi looked around and muttered to himself a little strangely: "Why hasn't Yufu come back yet, it stands to reason that the principal should reply soon......"

Shen Fengdao asked in surprise, "How can you be so sure?" ”

"Hehe, I haven't agreed to transfer to the new Second Army, the principal must weigh the consequences of refusal....."

Before the words fell, the terrible air defense siren outside the courtyard sounded, An Yi's face changed, and he raised his wrist to look: 9:52!

At this time, the offensive and defensive battle in Hangzhou had just been carried out for half an hour, and during this time period, the air force of a certain country violated it on a large scale, so what happened?
