On the same day, Song Zheyuan ordered the demolition of Beiping and the fortifications built around Beiping, and publicly stated that he would not accept donations from Beiping and all parts of the country, and the next day, he visited the new commander of the North China garrison army who had just arrived in Beiping, Xiangyue Qingji, and then the two sides held private talks, and Xiangyue Qingji completely rejected the previous negotiation results and put forward seven new demands, including the withdrawal of all anti-Japanese party and government forces from Pingjin, the dissolution of all non-governmental anti-Japanese organizations, the withdrawal of the 29th Army across the left bank of the Yongding River, and the handing over of the Lugou Bridge to Japanese control, etc. Song Zheyuan accepted it all. //、М/

Song Zheyuan's actions made Xiangyue Qingji very surprised, before arriving in Beiping, Xiangyue Qingji still had some scruples about the 29th Army, the great reputation of the Battle of Xifengkou made the Japanese army very shocked, and the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army were also regarded as anti-Japanese heroes, but today's Song Zheyuan's performance completely subverted the impression of Xiangyue Qingji, the conditions he proposed were originally a delaying tactic, and he didn't think that Song Zheyuan agreed, but he didn't expect Song Zheyuan to agree, which made him lose his mind, but the result was that the head of the secret service, Matsui Daisa, gave him an idea, It was said that Tokyo did not agree to this condition, and sent new conditions, raising the increase again, such as asking Wanping to hand over and so on, and at the same time asking Song Zheyuan to sign a written agreement.

Song Zheyuan's move in Peiping surprised Chiang Kai-shek in Lushan and the Japanese cabinet in Tokyo, and the two sides immediately reacted differently, and the expansion faction of the Japanese cabinet was confident and passed a resolution to transfer three more divisions from Japan to China to completely solve the problem of autonomy in North China. ///

Chiang Kai-shek did not receive a single word of Soong Zheyuan's report, but he learned of Soong Zheyuan's measures through the report of the Tianjin Station of the Secret Service, which made him deeply worried, and he reminded Soong Zheyuan again: "We must not give in easily to Japan's demands, and at the same time, we should move our headquarters to Baoding as soon as possible and gather troops in case of contingencies."

The next day, Chiang Kai-shek officially announced the four principles for resolving the Lugou Bridge incident at the Lushan Talks. That is to say, the bottom line of the Chinese government: 1. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity must not be violated. 2. The Administrative Affairs Committee of the Inspectorate shall not make any unlawful changes. 3. Officials appointed by the government shall not be replaced. 4. The ground defense area of the 29th Army shall not be changed.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek announced that any agreement that went beyond these four bottom lines would not be recognized by the central government. Nor will it be accepted; Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very tough, and he declared: "The result of the development of the Lugou Bridge incident is not only a question of China's survival, but will be a matter of good and woe for mankind in the world, and whether this incident can be brought to an end." It's the realm of the last moment. In case it really comes to the inevitable last moment, of course, we only have sacrifice, only the war of resistance. ”

The Kuomintang invited celebrities from all walks of life, including Hu Shih, a professor at Peking University, and Yu Qiaqing, a scholar from Shanghai, but Wu Yunchu, the king of chemical industry in Tianjin, Yan Yaoqiu, the machine king in Shanghai, and others did not come, and even Zhang Jingjiang did not come, so Chiang Kai-shek asked Dai Li to inquire. Dai Li soon came back to report that all these people were moving factories, and that the fleets of Lu Zuofu in Chongqing and Yu Qiaqing in Shanghai were concentrated in various parts of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the factories were demolished to Sichuan on a large scale. Chiang Kai-shek understood that this was instructed by Zhuang Jihua again, and it seemed that his judgment was that war was inevitable, and his heart immediately tightened.

After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek ordered that in addition to Sun Lianzhongdi's 26th Route Army being placed under the command of Song Zheyuan, Pang Bingxun's 40th Army and Shang Zhen's 32nd Army were also placed under the command of Song Zheyuan.

But Song Zheyuan refused, and Sun Lianzhongdi's troops were blocked by the 29th Army in Shijiazhuang, asking them to stop advancing and retreat to their original defenses; Tang Enbo's 13th Army and Guan Linzheng's 25th Division, which were transferred from Gansu, were blocked by Liu Ruming's troops on the Chahar border, and they were resolutely refused to enter Chahar.

Chiang Kai-shek, who received the report, could not stay in Lushan any longer. He hurriedly had a short negotiation with Zhou Enlai, who had just arrived in Lushan, and then invited Zhou Enlai to Nanjing to continue the negotiations.

After boarding the prepared ship at Jiujiang. Chiang Kai-shek silently looked at the steamers shuttling back and forth on the river along the way, and his mood was very complicated. Yang Yongtai stood beside him, while Dai Li was a little further away.

"Is that a Minsheng company's ship?" Chiang Kai-shek pointed to a steamer not far away, which was obviously carrying heavy cargo, the waterline was pressed deep, and the parts that were not covered by canvas were clearly machines or something.

Yang Yongtai squinted at the steamer, because of the distance, he couldn't read the words on it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Old, old, chairman, I didn't see what was written on it." Minsheng Company's ships all start with the four characters of Minsheng Jiangshan. ”

"People's livelihood? Lu Zuofu is so bold. Chiang Kai-shek did not look back and said in a flat tone: "Changqing, do you think the Japanese will give in this time?" ”

Yang Yongtai thought silently for a while, and he held the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I'm afraid it's difficult, if the chairman of the committee is hard to top, I'm afraid war will be avoided." /”

"Concession," the wind blowing on the river was very comfortable, but Chiang Kai-shek's voice was full of bitterness: "To be honest, I want to delay, I want to delay it for another five years, at least until next year, the Cultural Revolution reported to me that it will take another five years to complete the development of the southwest, there are still many equipment that cannot be mass-produced, and the reorganization of the army has not yet been completed, but can I let this step?" Can you let it pass? ”

Chiang Kai-shek's mood was very complicated, and if he did not give in, then he had to face the battle. Yang Yongtai looked at Chiang Kai-shek's back, he understood Chiang Kai-shek's difficulties, this was a difficult decision, and no matter what the outcome was, it would pay a huge price. Concessions would mean the fall of the Nanking government, the surging protest anger of the people would extinguish the dawn of national reunification, and Chiang Kai-shek would be nailed to the pillar of shame of traitors, and he would never be able to turn over; Facing the war, the huge gap in national strength between China and Japan will make the country and the nation pay a huge price, and the main thing is that once the concession is made, it is very likely to form a domino effect, the Japanese cannot stop, they will continue to move forward, the next target is there, Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang, or Taiyuan? No one knows. "Rather than sit and wait, fight to the death. / "When the Lugou Bridge Incident first broke out, Yang Yongtai still hoped to make concessions in exchange for compromise, but in the past few days, he has also figured out that since he can't escape, there is only war.

"Song Mingxuan didn't seem to understand, he thought that the Japanese would give up the attack if they gave up and compromised, in fact, the Japanese have been looking for such an opportunity for a long time, in the past few years, Song Mingxuan has been dealing with the Japanese, and has always refused to let go on the issue of autonomy in North China, and the Japanese are impatient." Yang Yongtai sighed: "Is the chairman of the committee giving him another order, or let Tang Enbo and Sun Lianzhong leave them alone." ”

"No," Chiang Kai-shek said after thinking for a moment: "The War of Resistance requires the unity of the whole country, and there must be no civil strife at this time, the Japanese will teach him a lesson." ”

After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek said a little silently: "Now we are much better than 918, at that time the whole country was asking for a declaration of war, but at that time there was no strength to fight, now it seems that the vision of the Cultural Revolution is indeed long-term, and this matter has made him right." In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he told me that a full-scale war would take five years at the fast and eight years at the slowest, so he would go to Sichuan to develop the southwest and engage in the military industry. Isn't it only five years? ”

"Fortunately, Chongqing's arsenal is basically on the right track, although it cannot fully meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, it can barely meet the needs of the war." Yang Yongtai probably knows more about Chongqing than Chiang Kai-shek, but he still doesn't understand some of Zhuang Jihua's practices: "I don't understand why the Cultural Revolution armed the Sichuan army, and the reorganization of the Central Army has not yet been completed." ”

"Changqing, you don't understand this, there are several meanings of equipping the Sichuan army, first of all, the Sichuan army is also a squadron, and it is also a force in the Anti-Japanese War, and once it is equipped, the Anti-Japanese War is together, and the Sichuan army must go out of Sichuan to participate in the war, which clears the way for the national government to move the capital to Sichuan." Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "The Cultural Revolution does not want to use force, not that Sichuan cannot be taken by force, but that it will delay the development of the southwest, and the Zhuang Cultural Revolution will never want to do this kind of thing." Chiang Kai-shek turned his head to look to the west: "Is their exercise in Sichuan over?" ”

"It's over?" Dai Li came from the corner and replied, "The latest report says that they are doing a drill summary. However, Zhuang Jihua ordered Hong Junqi to concentrate ammunition in the Wuhan area. ”

The exercise went smoothly and wonderfully, and the two divisions under the command of Guo Xunqi and Lan Yundong both showed a relatively high ability to transform attack and defense, build field fortifications, and defend against air and poison gas.

After the news of the July 7 Incident came, Zhuang Jihua issued orders to Shanghai, Yunnan, and Chongqing from time to time, asking Li Anding and Fan Hanjie to rush to Chongqing as soon as possible, telegraphing Zhang Jingjiang to immediately organize the factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to move westward, telegraphing to partners in Tianjin, Shandong, and other places to immediately move westward, telegraphing Lu Zuofu and Yu Qiaqing to immediately organize a fleet to go east to Shanghai, telegraphing Li Zhilong to speed up the production and storage of ammunition, and telegraphing Hong Junqi to immediately transport ammunition to Wuhan for storage.

Zhuang Jihua did not avoid Jiang Baili and Liu Xiang when he gave these orders, and these telegrams were sent in the form of urgent telegrams, which made Jiang Baili Liu Xiang and others a little surprised, Jiang Baili Liu Xiang and others asked him privately if he thought that the Lugou Bridge incident could really develop into a full-scale war between China and Japan? Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou further asked what they should do?

The summary will be very lively, Liu Xiang is the most satisfied, Guo Xunqi Division is one of his trump card troops, the performance of the past two weeks has surprised him very much, the troops have been completely reborn, not only weapons and equipment, soldiers' personal combat skills, but also the tactical execution ability of the troops, are completely different.

So Liu Xiang has been happy these days, smiling like a flower; Deng Xihou and others were a little jealous on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were also hopeful, after all, the troops were all trained in Chongqing, and they had also changed their equipment, and Wang Mingzhang's division was still in the new group army system and belonged to the troops under the personal command of Zhuang Jihua.
