readx; In the 27th year of the Republic of China, on February 21, 1938, China's supreme leader Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Xuzhou!

Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Xuzhou with Bai Chongxi, Minister of Military Training, as well as Zhou Enlai, Chen Shaoyu, Qin Bangxian and others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info and the 20,000 Guangxi children who have recently reinforced Xuzhou.

The supreme leader of the national political axe inspected Xuzhou, causing a sensation in the city.

After inspecting the deployment of the Battle of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek soon convened a meeting of senior officers of the Fifth Theater.

"The Battle of Xuzhou is of great significance, and it will be related to the direction of the entire Anti-Japanese War!" Facing the high-ranking officers who participated in the Battle of Xuzhou, Chiang Kai-shek said straightforwardly and straight to the point:

"I advise all of you here not to take any chances. Although we are a weak country, we cannot but maintain the life of our nation and cannot live up to the historical responsibilities left to us by our ancestors. As for the start of the war, because we are a weak country, there is no chance of compromise, and if we give up our land and sovereignty, we will be the sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages! At that time, we can only fight for the life of the nation and seek our final victory.

The Battle of Xuzhou made a good start, the 23rd Group Army fought a beautiful battle of annihilation in Kouziling, and almost wiped out the elite Kunizaki Deng Brigade of the invincible Yue Army, which is very good, very good."

Chiang Kai-shek deliberately accentuated his tone:

"Since the start of the all-out war in China, we have never fought such a hearty battle, and we have not yet won such a hearty victory, which has greatly encouraged the determination of the people of the whole country to resist the war to the end and greatly boosted the morale of the whole army. A few more great victories in Kouziling could seriously weaken his confidence and force them to sit down for peace talks

I'm not here this time to tell you how to fight this battle, how to fight, Chief Li Zongren will tell you that it's not my business. I'm here to cheer you up, to be your logistics minister. As I once said, as soon as the war between China and China begins, there is no distinction between the north and the south, the old and the young, and no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they should all have the determination to sacrifice everything. Therefore, the political axe must be especially cautious, and in the face of such a major event, the people of the whole country must be solemn and composed, and be prepared to defend themselves. At this critical moment, the only way to do this is to rely on the unanimity of the whole country, obey discipline, and strictly abide by order. I hope that you will return to the localities and convey this intention to the society, so that Bonham will understand the situation and be loyal to the country, which is what my brothers earnestly expect.

Now, in Xuzhou, there are the Central Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Gui Army, and at the juncture of the nation's peril, regardless of party affiliation or region, they are all gathered in Xuzhou, and I am very pleased, very gratified."

Chiang Kai-shek really kept his promise and never asked about the military deployment of the Battle of Xuzhou. It was only after the meeting that Li Zongren was left alone and asked about the battle situation in Xuzhou and what help he needed personally.

Li Zongren replied carefully and in detail, and Chiang Kai-shek was obviously very satisfied: "Delin, the battlefield of Xuzhou, everything is left to you, I have ordered the air force and navy in Wuhan to fully support. Although our planes are inferior to our own, they are still capable of protecting part of our airspace."

Li Zongren knew that Chiang Kai-shek was saying this very seriously.

In the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Air Force suffered huge losses. By the end of the Battle of Nanjing, the Chinese Air Force had less than 30 aircraft available for combat. The National Axe Aviation Committee moved westward and reorganized the Air Force, with the Counselor's Office, the Adviser's Office, the Director's Office, and four departments: Military Orders, Technology, General Affairs, and Air Defense. Some of the pilots were transferred to Wuhan, Nanchang and other places, and some went to Lanzhou to receive short-term training from Soviet instructors.

Soviet aircraft purchased by the Nationalist Axe with Soviet loans began to be shipped to China at the end of November 1937, and the Chinese Air Force was newly replenished. By the time the Battle of Xuzhou began, the total number of combat aircraft of the Chinese Air Force had reached 217. Among them, there are 97 Polikarpov E-15 biplane fighters, 62 E-16 monoplane fighters, 47 Tupolev SB-2 light bombers, and 11 TB-3 heavy bombers and other types of aircraft.

They are stationed at airports in Nanchang, Wuhan, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Wuwei, Jiuquan, Xiangyang and other places. In addition, on 7 February, China and the Soviet Union signed the "Military Aviation Agreement," and the Soviet Union supported China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

With the help of the Air Force, Li Zongren also felt a lot more at ease.

At this moment, He Yaozu, director of Chiang Kai-shek's general office, walked in happily, waved a telegram in his hand and said:

"Happy event, happy event, great happy event! The Air Force bombed Taiwan successfully! ”

"What?" Chiang Kai-shek and Li Zongren stood up together.

In the early morning of February 21, 1938, 28 Soviet bombers of the Chinese Air Force stationed in Hankou flew over the Taiwan Strait and arrived at Taipei's Songshan Airport and the Hsinchu Power Plant at about 7 o'clock to carry out dive bombing. This action was completely unexpected by the Chinese army, and the Chinese side was defenseless. It was not until around 9 o'clock that the military planes flew over Taipei, but the volunteer team had completed the bombing mission and flew back to China after flying around Taipei City at a low altitude for a week. The raid blew up 12 planes and several warehouses of the Navy's First Combined Air Force, and seriously damaged the Hsinchu Power Plant.

Chiang Kai-shek grabbed the telegram and looked at it carefully, as if it was still a little incredulous, and this was the first time Li Zongren saw Chiang Kai-shek so nervous.

Bombing success! This bombing, which had not had much hope before the battle, turned out to be a success!

"Good, good!" Chiang Kai-shek said in a loud voice: "First there was the great victory in Kouziling, and then there was the bombing of Taiwan, good head, the head of the battle of Xuzhou started well!" ”

Li Zongren was also full of spring breeze, and he was even more concerned about the battlefield situation in his heart, chatted with Chiang Kai-shek for a while, and left.

Taking advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's prosperity, He Yaozu said carefully: "Bench, that Gao Fei is already waiting outside, you see"

"Oh yes, and a high flyer." Chiang Kai-shek came to his senses and put down the telegram: "Let him in." ”

After waiting for a minute, I heard a loud voice outside: "Report!" ”

"Come in."

"Chairman of the report, Gao Fei, commander of the 151st Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, has been ordered to come!"

Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and carefully looked at the young and mighty officer standing in front of him.

At this time, Gao Fei was a little nervous in his heart, when he came to this time, he had met Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, and Tang Shizun, a famous big man, but it was the first time to face the country's supreme leader!

Throughout China's modern history, if there was no Chiang Kai-shek, at that time China's Taiwan and Northeast China were occupied, China would have been divided into small countries by warlords from all over the country, at that time in China at that time, the only one that could control the warlords all over the country, the Central Army, the Whampoa line, the quasi-descendant lineage and the descendant lineage had millions of military strength of the national political axe party, government, and military was not Chiang Kai-shek, there was no second person, and Chiang Kai-shek's existence promoted the important role of China's territorial integrity.

Chiang Kai-shek led more than 2 million National Revolutionary Army to persist in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and although he had his faults, he was still the leader of the nation, and he was a great man in modern Chinese history!

And now, I stand in front of this great man!

"A good subordinate cultivated by Xianting!" Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Fei, and suddenly asked: "Are you afraid to see me?" ”

Gao Fei was stunned, where did he think that Chiang Kai-shek would ask such a question? hesitated there: "Report to the chairman, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid!" ”

"Oh, tell me, why are you afraid, why aren't you afraid of that?" Chiang Kai-shek seemed interested.

Gao Fei was bold: "Gao Fei is just a small regiment leader, standing in front of China's supreme leader, saying that he is not afraid, it is all false!" Don't be afraid, it's because Goofy hasn't done anything bad! ”

"Oh? Is it? Haven't done anything bad? Chiang Kai-shek put away his smile and suddenly asked, "So, what's going on with Urunota Nakajima?" ”

Goofy was shocked and sighed, it's time to come

"Say, what's going on? He said that he made a private transaction and caught such an important person, but let him go without authorization, and did not report it, what kind of responsibility is this? Kindness? Chiang Kai-shek's tone suddenly became stern.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and since Chiang Kai-shek already knows about it, there is nothing to hide. Gao Fei stood upright: "Report to the chairman, there is indeed this matter, but Gao Fei also has difficulties!" ”

"You are so bold that you suddenly dare to admit it!" Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly: "Say, I want to hear what you have to say!" But I'm telling you, if your reasons don't convince me, the law enforcement team is already waiting outside, you go out on your own! ”

"Yes!" Gao Fei also let go:

"Commission, we did capture Nakajima Uranota, the son of Nakajima Imago, and did exchange him for a large number of arms, but this is also my most helpless choice! At that time, the battle had reached a very fierce stage, we were seriously short of weapons and ammunition, and in some positions, the brothers were already fighting with their bare hands almost with their bare hands!

A Nakajima Uranota, catching him, or even killing him, will not help the victory of the entire battle at all, but will only anger the army and bring more crazy revenge, so under the circumstances at that time, I simply exchanged Nakajima Uranota for a batch of arms

Chairman of the Committee, it can even be said that in the later battle of annihilation at Kouziling, this batch of munitions brought victory to our troops. I personally think it's completely worth it to exchange a Nakajima Uranota for a brigade commander and a few wing commanders in the army, if the chairman thinks that Gao Fei should be killed, Gao Fei will never complain! ”

Chiang Kai-shek did not speak, just looked at Goofy there, and on Goofy's face, he did not see any fear and fear.

And Gao Fei finally didn't have to hide this matter anymore, and his heart was a lot happier.

He firmly believed that Chiang Kai-shek would never kill himself because of this incident

"You have a lot of reasons and excuses," Chiang Kai-shek said slowly: "I made up a lot of excuses, which are nothing more than to save my head." Well, just leave this head on your head for now. You have made so many military exploits, originally I wanted to reward you well, but most of the merits in this matter are offset, I told Liu Xianting about this, you were promoted to colonel, acting deputy brigade commander of the 76th Brigade, and still the commander of the 151st Regiment, originally, I would give you more rewards, but let go of such an important person in the army, there are still some faults"

Goofy was first surprised, then delighted.

I knew that Chiang Kai-shek would not kill me, but I never expected that Chiang Kai-shek would propose to Liu Yuqing that he be promoted to colonel, deputy commander of the 76th Brigade and commander of the 151st Regiment, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Chiang Kai-shek's tone was much calmer: "During the big battle, you were just a small soldier, and in more than half a year, you rose to prominence and was promoted to colonel. Like Chen Cixiu, Xue Boling, Liu Xianting, including your Tang Shizun, they all said a lot of good things about you in front of me."

"But it's also important to have noble people to help you," when he heard this, Goofy already understood what it meant.

Chiang Kai-shek groaned: "You told the reporters, one country, one leader; One nation, one ism, can you really understand the meaning of this sentence? ”

"Yes!" Gao Fei said loudly: "The army invaded our China, our China must be united, under the leadership of a leader, gather the strength of the whole country to achieve victory, nothing more than ism, no political parties, this is the way to win the War of Resistance!" ”

Chiang Kai-shek showed a slight smile on his face: "Although the understanding is not thorough enough, as a soldier, it is already very good to have this idea." The big war is about to begin, what are the requirements? ”

"Yes!" Gao Fei was not polite at all: "First of all, I ask the chairman to transfer me to the front line, we are soldiers, and not going to the battlefield means shame." Secondly, I hope that I hope that the Chairman will transfer us some more weapons and ammunition, which we are so lacking."

"Your appetite is not small, and the resignation has only given you a batch, and you actually asked me to stretch out my hand." When Chiang Kai-shek said this, he did not mean to be unhappy at all:

"Okay, this, Li Delin is not rich either, I'll find another way to allocate a batch of weapons for you. Gao Fei, although the 26th Division belongs to the Sichuan Army, it is also a banner of my Central Army, I still have great expectations for the 26th Division, and even for you personally, I hope you will not disappoint me! ”

Goofy nodded vigorously and straightened his back:

"Please rest assured, Chairman of the Committee, Gao Fei will never live up to the honor of the Chinese people!"
