Chapter 1356 An Yi's threat of retaliation

Zhu Peide, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi's guards stayed below, and Shen Ziling accompanied the three of them to the special care center on the second floor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at it, and the two people chatting with Lin Yaodong were acquaintances, one was Huang Shaohong's nephew Huang Heming, who is now Huang Shaohong's adjutant; The other is Li Jishen's secretary Zhou Zefu. Hearing the footsteps, Lin Yaodong turned his head vigilantly, and after finding out who was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, first saluted Zhu Peide as a junior, and then saluted Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi as a military salute. Huang Heming and Zhou Zefu also stepped forward quickly and saluted the three seniors.

Li Zongren asked with a smile: "Heming and Zefu are here, have Brother Ren Chao and Brother Ji Kuanxian arrived?" ”

Lin Yaodong motioned for Shen Ziling to leave on his own, and then replied respectfully: "Now they are in the commander's ward." My commander woke up at ten o'clock in the morning, just got the news that Commander Hu led his troops to successfully break through, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot, Mrs. Yun had just finished feeding him gruel, Huan Qi came, the brothers met, the commander was very happy, and we got together and chatted for a long time. Near noon, Ren Gong and General Ji Kuan came one after another, and I saw that the ward was too crowded, so I pulled Heming and Zefu out. ”

"Brother Ren Chao finally put aside his political prejudices and returned to Nanjing, I am pleased!" Zhu Peide nodded again and again: "Since he set up a Democratic League party in Hong Kong two years ago, I didn't dare to see him, for fear that there would be some misunderstanding between the committee and the central government, but now it's okay, everything is like the Northern Expedition, and the guns are unanimous to the outside world!" ”

Bai Chongxi's eyes flickered: "General Lin, before Duke Ren and Brother Ji Kuan arrived, I don't know what topics you were talking about?" ”

Zhu Peide and Li Zongren were a little surprised, and they didn't know why Bai Chongxi asked this question. But thinking about the two earth-shattering news in the morning meeting, I vaguely understood something.

Lin Yaodong said frankly: "Due to the steady stream of information on the success of the bombing of the other country's airport, we will start the topic around this, and the commander said that if this strike cannot play a role in deterring the government and army of the other country, it is estimated that the Shanghai front line will soon fight, so that Huan Qi is ready to attack Nanjing at any time." Subsequently, the commander talked about the idea of the next bombardment, and after discussing it, we all agreed that it was feasible, and now we have begun to make preparations. ”

"Oh?"

Bai Chongxi, who was as cunning as a fox, looked interested: "I don't know what General An thinks about the next air raid?" Also, I have always had a question in my mind, the mainland of the other country was attacked almost simultaneously with the Ryukyus and North Korea, I wonder how your air force did it? ”

Lin Yaodong patiently explained: "The commander's opinion is that as long as the enemy's air force does not pose a threat to our bombing organization for a day, the bombing will continue for a long time in the future, frequently attacking their airfields, barracks, and even military factories that produce weapons and ammunition, and directly undermining the other country's war sustainability." In addition, in the case of Taiwan, the Ryukyus, and Korea, while attacking their military facilities and colonial institutions, they should adopt offensive tactics and widely distribute leaflets in towns and villages, so that the people in these areas can understand the history and belonging of their own nation, and at the same time, they can also create a gap between the colonial government of the other country and the colonial people enslaved by it, and guard against each other, so that they cannot uniformly allocate resources for war, and it is not necessary to pay additional military and financial budgets to prevent popular uprisings in these areas. Threatens its rule.

"As for carrying out air strikes on the enemy's mainland and the Ryukyus and North Korea at the same time, this is very simple, we have a flying squadron with fifteen strategic bombers, this kind of bomber has four engines, a range of up to 6,000 kilometers, and a bomb load of two tons, we have three fighters as a formation, and this time we dispatched four of the formations, three of which are responsible for bombing the enemy's airfields, and one is loaded with propaganda leaflets, which are transported to the three cities of Osaka, Yokohama, and Tokyo of the other country to be thrown and thrown to strike at the arrogance of the government and army of the other country. Intimidate the will to war of the citizens of the other country.

"Taiwan's airports, barracks, and colonial facilities, because of their relatively close distance, were attacked by our Second Air Regiment, and the commander said that as long as all Taiwan's airfields are destroyed, when the other countrymen attack Shanghai, there will be no place for the roadbed fighters to stay, and as long as we firmly grasp the air supremacy, we can fight as we want."

Bai Chongxi was deeply admired when he heard this, and originally wanted to continue to ask, but when he saw Li Zongren and Zhu Peide on the side, he was a little impatient, so he had to smile and say, "Thank you, General Lin, for your advice." Big brother, Yigong, let's go to the ward and listen to what Ji Kuan is talking about. ”

......

The ward was not as noisy as imagined, An Yi leaned on the pillow and leaned on the head of the bed, on the left hand side was a shelf with large bottles and small bottles, Zhan Huanqi's eyes were red, and he sat on a bamboo chair next to the bedside on the right hand side. Huang Shaohong and Li Jishen sit behind Zhan Huanqi, in a long strip of Changsha with a large ink painting on the right on the wall behind him. The four of them looked attentive and listened carefully to Shen Fengdao's latest situation.

Now An Yi's telecommunications office has been stationed in the hospital, which is arranged in the ward next door, basically now he can know what is happening all over the country for the first time, and for the internal affairs of An Jiajun's system, there are no details, which are classified and summarized by special personnel, so that An Yi can control the overall situation and make unified deployment and planning.

"As of 11 o'clock this morning, the defense of the first department south of Beiping has been basically confirmed, one of which is Liu Zhi's department. At about 11 o'clock last night, the division was defeated in Sanhe County, all the way to the east, and at 2 o'clock in the morning, the division retreated to Tongxian, and happened to encounter the enemy army attacking the county seat of Tongxian, the unit did not stop, and fled directly to Beiping, and then fled quickly south along the Pinghan Railway, until it fled to Fangshan County and contacted friendly troops before steady. In a short period of more than 10 hours, the unit marched 90 kilometers continuously, and it was said that the structure was still intact. Shen Fengdao paused when he thought of this, and a cold light shot out of his eyes.

"Performance? It's a shame that he can figure it out! ”

Zhan Huanqi was very annoyed, he had experienced a painful experience of the Northern Expedition to Jiangbei, and he had no good impression of anyone who betrayed the interests of An Jiajun, and scolded and said: "This Liu Jingfu can't fight, but it's quite good to run away, just call him a running general in the future...... I guess it's not surprising that he was able to create such a marching miracle because his headquarters is equipped with off-road vehicles and jeeps, and his commanders at all levels in the army also have vehicles and horses to travel, but can his soldiers run so fast? I don't believe this one to death. ”

An Yi shook his head: "Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Central Army, Guan Linzheng is my senior brother, we are very familiar with him when he was in Huangpu, he fought bravely and tenaciously, and he also worked side by side during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and the generals under his command are all Huangpu talents, and they have a set of marching and fighting." I estimate that this time the commanders of the four divisions of the Central Army all escaped, and nearly half of the troops successfully escaped from the encirclement of the enemy, otherwise Liu Jingfu would not dare to say such a big thing, and he also knew that military law was ruthless...... It stands to reason that he is my old commander, and he has the grace of promoting me and Hu Zi, Ji Nan and a large group of generals, I shouldn't say bad things about him, but this bad breath is really unbearable, Hu Zi is kind enough to save him, he doesn't even say hello and leaves without patting his ass, leaving my army surrounded by a lot of people, such a character...... Alas, that's it, don't talk about this matter, Lao Shen, you go on, what troops are still blocking the south of Beiping? I'm afraid the situation won't hold up! ”

Shen Fengdao nodded, and continued to tell the information that the staff officers had just summed up:

"The 14th Group Army retreating from Wuqing and Langfang guarded the Yongqing line, and Gao Guizi's new 17th Army guarded the Gu'an line.

"After the 32nd Army of the Shang Zhen Division, which had been defeated from Jinghai, reorganized its troops in the river, it went out to Machang to join Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army sent by General Han Xiangfang, and guarded the safety of the Machang to Dacheng line, and the 40th Army and the 53rd Army also advanced from Renqiu to the Dacheng to Wen'an line, firmly blocking the enemy's march route to the south and west in Tianjin.

The Military Commission invested nearly 300,000 main forces on this front, plus the security forces formed locally, totaling 400,000.

"In addition, in terms of reserves, the Third Cavalry Army is currently stationed in Zhuoxian, the Fourth Cavalry Army is stationed in Dingxing, the 68th Division of our Fifth Army is stationed in Baoding, the 38th Army Sun Weiru is stationed in Dacheng, and the 51st Army is transferred north to Dezhou by Yu Xuezhong and Wu Keren of the 67th Army. In addition, Hu Zongnan's First Army, Li Yannian's Second Army, Huang Jie's Eighth Army, and the New Second Army were transferred to Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Henan, and along the Jinpu Road in Shandong, waiting for orders at any time. ”

An Yi went through it in his mind and nodded: "In this way, as long as the command is effective and the soldiers use their lives, there is no need to worry too much about the collapse of North China." Uncle Shi, you see, the chairman is even going to be sent to the battlefield with his most beloved First Army, and now you don't worry that the chairman is fake, right? ”

Li Jishen stood up, strolled to the window, listened to the slogans coming from the streets outside, turned his head and said: "Since the Nationalist Government lifted the wanted warrant for the top level of our Democratic League last month, I have come to Beijing by train with Brother Zhenru (Chen Mingshu), stopping and stopping along the way, attending mass rallies from time to time, listening to speeches by students and social groups, watching the government and garrison organizations build national defense fortifications, and discovering many new things. In general, in the past two years, Chiang Kai-shek has not blindly compromised, but has made some preparations. Our NLD is not a stubborn person, having already held a meeting to cancel all provisions against the Nationalist Government, and as soon as war breaks out, the NLD will automatically dissolve. ”

"Good! Brother Ren Chao, you finally figured it out! ”

Zhu Peide just heard Li Jishen's statement, and walked into the ward quickly, "Now that the national crisis is at hand, we should join hands and unanimate the guns to the outside world." Brother Ren Chao, did you go to see Jiegong after you arrived in Nanjing? ”

Li Jishen saw Zhu Peide, Li and Bai coming together, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Yizhi, after years of not seeing, your complexion is getting better and better." Delin, Jiansheng, we meet again, when will you send troops north to fight? ”

Zhan Huanqi, who was dressed in military uniform, hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and then stood beside Zhu Peide. Huang Shaohong, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi hugged each other, and shook hands with Zhu Peide, and then said: "The two brothers and Yigong only came at this time, and they must have attended the emergency meeting in the morning. ”

"It's all a motion that the whole people are mobilizing unanimous, and this time the central government has made up its mind!" Li Zongren immediately pointed at Huang Shaohong and said: "You are not qualified as a member of the Central Supervisory Committee, and you did not attend such an important meeting, so be careful that the chairman of the committee cancels your membership qualifications." ”

Zhu Peide strode to the hospital bed, met An Yi's smiling eyes, his nose was slightly sore, and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

An Yi smiled and nodded: "It's okay, Uncle De, don't worry, Lord Yama won't take me in, he wants me to lead An Jiajun to do it with the other party!" ”

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also hugged each other and asked for warmth for a while before being pulled by Huang Shaohong to sit down on the sofa.

In order to dispel the slightly sad atmosphere in the ward, Huang Shaohong took the initiative to say: "In order to deal with the enemy's provocations step by step, the chairman of the committee has summoned army generals, government officials, principals of secondary schools across the country, directors of discipline and education, cadres in charge of boy scout schools, and cadres in charge of local party and government to Lushan for unified training.

"I think you all know, I also hold the position of chairman of Hubei Province, Wuhan must be the center of the future war of resistance, once Nanjing falls, Wuhan will definitely replace Nanjing's position, so the layout and construction of national defense fortifications are particularly important, has not been able to take away, for this the committee is also very understanding, I will not attend the meeting. If I didn't want to meet Xiao Yi this time, I probably wouldn't have left for Nanjing. ”

"Oh?"

Li Jishen returned to the sofa and sat down, his expression was extremely solemn: "Ji Kuan, you mean that the Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way, not only Songhu may not be guaranteed, but even the capital Nanjing will be occupied by the other party, so where will the Nationalist Government put tens of millions of people along the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian?" ”

Huang Shaohong nodded helplessly: "That's right, in fact, this is also the result of repeated discussions between me and Xiao Yi, Ci Xiu, and Jian Gong when I was in Lushan before, no matter whether these national defense fortifications can be used in the end or not, it is always good to be prepared." ”

Li Jishen was quite puzzled: "Didn't the kid just say that North China is fine, and our air force still has air supremacy, and now he has thought about moving the capital in advance, isn't it too cowardly?" ”

An Yi explained: "Uncle Shi, today's victory is only temporary, the industrial strength of the other country is far superior to mine, coupled with its powerful navy, it can choose to attack our coastal cities at any time and place, although our air force has a certain advantage, but over time, this advantage will be seriously weakened, and even overtaken by the other country, in general, our side is still in a weak position." Moreover, before the war begins, several lines of defense should be set up in case of emergency, which is also the vision that generals must have. ”

Li Jishen wanted to say a few words, but suddenly saw An Yi's intelligence director Liu Qing walking into the ward quickly, and swallowed the words back.

Liu Qing's face was full of grief and indignation, and he came to the hospital bed and reported loudly:

"Commander, the commander of the 17th Army called Lu that the Fifth Army was attacked by a large-scale poison gas bomb dropped by enemy fighters, Commander Hu Jialin, Chief of Staff Huang Zhi, Deputy Commander Zhang Chengzhu, and Division Commander Zhang Zuying were unconscious, their lives and deaths were uncertain, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed or wounded."

An Yi had already vaguely guessed something from Liu Qing's expression, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, after listening to Liu Qing's report, his blood was churning, his brain tingled, and he almost passed out again. He clenched his teeth and held on, and the corners of his mouth were bitten by his teeth and he didn't realize it.

Stopping everyone from stepping forward to comfort him, and thinking about it calmly, An Yi quickly ordered:

"Immediately rescue the wounded and sick and move to the rear as quickly as possible! I recorded a statement from me: The other side flagrantly violated the 1925 Geneva Protocol on the prohibition of the use of poison gas or similar drugs and bacteriological methods in war, and brazenly carried out a large-scale poison gas bomb attack on our Fifth Army, resulting in the casualties of tens of thousands of our soldiers.

"I, An Yi, in my capacity as the commander of the An Jia Army, hereby issue a solemn statement to the other side that if the government and army of the other country do not apologize for this and promise to renounce the use of poison gas bombs in future wars, our air force units will carry out large-scale poison gas bomb attacks on the mainland of the other country, and at that time, regardless of the royal family, nobles, civilians or soldiers, whether urban or rural, will all fall within the scope of our poison gas bomb attacks. I will not hesitate to burn all the jade and stones, and I am determined to destroy the people of the other country!

"An Yi A.D. August 8, 1937"

In the ward, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Li Jishen, and Huang Shaohong, who were surrounding An Yi, looked at each other, their faces changed greatly, Zhu Peide, who was sitting at the head of An Yi's bed, was thoughtful, but Zhan Huanqi, Shen Fengdao and Liu Qing looked like they were taken for granted, Liu Qing quickly recorded An Yi's order, turned around and left.
