Chapter 1435 wolf smoke billowing

September 28, morning, half past eight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Foreign Minister Hiroki Hirota, on behalf of the emperor and government of a certain country, announced that with immediate effect, a certain country will formally withdraw from the League of Nations and all its subordinate organizations and institutions, withdraw from the "Nine-Power Convention," and will no longer fulfill any of the relevant obligations formulated by the League of Nations and the Washington Conference.

Hirota declared that the war between the two countries is an internal affair of China and a certain country, and is not aimed at any other country, but he does not want a third country to interfere. The government of a certain country will ensure that the rights and interests of various countries in China will not be infringed upon and that the personal safety of overseas Chinese will be guaranteed. The government of a certain country stressed that the nature of the war between the two countries was that if the Chinese government reined in the precipice and joined the German-Japanese "Agreement" from now on, and the red-fed doctrine would be extinct in the East, this would be the only way to ensure peace.

An hour after the end of the press conference of the government of a certain country, the German Government announced that "the head of state agrees in principle with the viewpoint of the government of a certain country and hopes that the Chinese Government will pull back from the precipice." The spokesman solemnly pointed out that "the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed by the Chinese and Soviet governments late last month is a serious threat to the capitalist world, and the Chinese Government should rein in the precipice, take the initiative to break off cooperation with Soviet Russia, show its sincerity, and propose to the two countries and the two countries to join the "** Agreement." This is the premise of a ceasefire between the two countries, and all countries should give full consideration to it. ”

The U.S. government then held a press conference, at which the spokesman said, "President Roosevelt understands the efforts of a certain government to prevent global redness, and the United States will continue to look forward to a conflict between the two countries." The spokesman declared, "The United States will not apply a neutrality law to the war between the two countries, and the United States will, as always, conduct normal international trade with the two countries." At the same time, the US government will carry out a three-month evacuation operation in China, and those who remain in China after the deadline will bear the consequences."

At the press conference of the Italian government, Mussoneri actually came to the scene and said that a certain country is fully exercising the important role that a responsible power can play, just as the war that Italy inflicted on Ethiopia and the civil war that is now going on in Spain are completely from an internationalist standpoint, and Mussolini himself appreciated it. Subsequently, Mussonili said that Italy would increase economic and military cooperation with a certain country, and the latest idea was to invite the fleet of a certain country to conduct a joint military exercise in the Mediterranean.

As a result of the successive statements made by Germany, the United States, and Italy, Britain, which has seriously damaged its interests due to the declining Shanghai Concession and has lodged a solemn protest to a certain country over the bombing of the car of the British ambassador to China, Gregory Whissen, on 25 May by enemy warplanes, and the French Government, which has recently encountered frequent harassment of passenger liners and merchant ships by a certain ** ship off the coast of Annam, originally wanted to impose severe sanctions on a certain country in accordance with the relevant regulations of the League of Nations and the "Nine-Power Pact." However, seeing that the US Government actually stood on the side of a certain country, fearing that the United States would cooperate with Germany, Italy, and the United States. Britain and France, which have come together from a certain country, have invariably canceled their press conferences, thrown away dozens of pages of drafts condemning the government of a certain country, and have silenced their voices on this.

Subsequently, in order to strengthen the garrison in the Far East, Britain sent 197 officers and 1,150 soldiers to board ships in British ** port and sail to China, and France also sent a team of 618 people from the country and two destroyers to Annam to consolidate its Far East defense.

Britain and France, completely disillusioned with the situation between China and Japan, began to organize a large-scale evacuation of overseas Chinese.

Because of the appeasement policies of the United States, Britain, France, and other countries, in fact, from the moment a certain country announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations and the "Nine-Power Pact," all the punitive resolutions made in the international community against a certain country's aggression were put down the drain, and all the means of sanctions were left only on paper.

......

Nine o'clock, north of Hangzhou, Gongchen Bridge.

Gongchen Bridge was originally a concession area opened up by a Chinese in Hangzhou, with commercial ports, customs, water police departments and other settings and institutions, Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway specially opened up a branch line to connect with it, which shows the large volume of commodity transactions in the Gongchen Bridge area.

With the evacuation of overseas Chinese from a certain country, the idle Gongchenqiao area naturally returned to the hands of the Chinese government, and at this moment, this is An Yi's temporary residence in Hangzhou.

It is also strange to say, perhaps it is the advice of the boss, or maybe the enemy pilots have a certain obsessive preference for the Japanese-style building of the Gongchen Bridge and cannot bear to destroy it, and it has to be said that it is a miracle that this area covering an area of two or three square kilometers has not been destroyed in the ten days since the outbreak of the air war between the two countries.

Near a two-story Japanese-style attic by the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, An Yi stood in front of the tatami mat of the Japanese-style room on the second floor, and was furious: "I knew that Lao Tzu would be a little better, first send a plane to blow up the bridge, and then say, save yourself from being fooled like now, and the two divisions were transferred to Hangzhou, yo, people told you that a certain country has run out, and now there is only a piece of garbage thrown by a certain country on the north bank of the entire Qiantang River, his grandma!" ”

Yang Fei, chief of staff on the side, Fang Pengxiang, chief of operations, Ye Cheng, commander of the New Second Army, Wang Xulun, commander of the 16th Division, Fu Guanjie, commander of the 44th Division, and other generals were silent, and it was rare for them to see An Yi making such a big fire. It is also said that on the way to Hangzhou, to deal with the enemy fighters in the sky, they stopped and paid a lot of price to arrive, but they were told that the enemy troops on the north bank of the Qiantang River had slipped back to the south bank overnight, and the defenders found that the situation was not right after dawn today, and sent a small force to reconnoiter only to discover this abnormal situation.

Shen Fengdao comforted: "Don't be so angry, it's not good for your health." Although it is a bit embarrassing to say that I didn't catch the devil's tail, from another aspect, it also avoided a large number of casualties. The enemy occupies the advantageous terrain of the mountainous area of Hangzhou, and after many days of emergency repairs, a complete defense system has been built, including anti-artillery holes, communication trenches, and machine-gun bunkers. The war between the two countries and the two countries is not an overnight thing, more than these tens of thousands, less than these tens of thousands, it will not affect the overall situation, if every time you encounter such a thing, you will be so angry, I guess you will be angry before a certain country is driven away......"

An Yi couldn't help but smile: "Old Shen, I find that you are becoming more and more good at persuading people...... Well, now let's talk about it, the enemy has retreated to the south bank of the Qiantang River, and this bridge can't be blown up......"

Ye Cheng said as a matter of course: "Since a certain countryman has retreated to the south bank, and my two divisions have blocked the bridge, they will be in great difficulty if they want to cross the bridge again, so it doesn't matter whether they bomb it or not." However, our New Second Army is a mechanized army, and it needs convenient transportation the most, so once the bridge is blown up, will the tanks and armored vehicles of my New Second Army swim across the Qiantang River? Therefore, it is better that the bridge is not fried! ”

Fu Guanjie, commander of the 44th Division, who joined the Anjia Army during the third phase of the Huangpu Northern Expedition, had a different opinion: "The dense water network in eastern Zhejiang is not suitable for mechanized warfare, and the surrounding areas of Shaoxing and Ningbo are full of streams and water fields, and it is difficult for mechanized troops to play a major role in them, so the New Second Army, as a strategic deterrent force, actually plays a greater role than directly participating in the war."

"Think about this battle of Hangzhou, as soon as the new second army arrives in Hangzhou, won't the enemy army wither? Originally, they were vigorously attacking the west gate of Hangzhou, but as soon as the tank division of the New Second Army appeared, the enemy retreated, dug a large number of anti-tank trenches, arranged anti-tank mines, and was busy for several days, turning from offensive to defensive at once. Therefore, it is better to be still, it is better to blow up the bridge, so that we can deploy troops and kill the enemy army in Pudong first. ”

There was a constant buzz in the room, and everyone was discussing it to their heart's content, when a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the southwest, An Yi and a cadre of generals glanced at each other, and immediately walked to the telephone and asked what was going on in front of them?

Soon after, Major General An Jin, commander of the special operations of the Anjia Army, who had gone out to the mountains of western Hangzhou to search for the traces of the enemy's special attack team, replied: The enemy had blown up the Qiantang River bridge and began to build a defensive position in the south of the Yangtze River.

An Yi and the generals glanced at each other, they were all surprised by the enemy's choice, and they wasted such a big thought, and even used the tactics of a four-shot bomber cluster, in order to break through the Hangzhou defense line and then threaten Nanjing? Why did you shrink back like this? What are the enemy going to do?

Yang Fei said worriedly: "The enemy army is obviously shrinking its strength...... Do they want to storm the front line in western Zhejiang? More than 200,000 enemy troops, plus fighter planes, the threat is great! ”

Wang Xulun, who followed Gu Changfeng out of the bandits' den, nodded: "It is very likely, once you cross Huiji Mountain, Siming Mountain and Tiantai Mountain, there are still a lot of plains in western Zhejiang, I still remember that when we fought all the way from Lao Nanchang to Hangzhou, the towns along the way were stable and rich, if this little devil broke into western Zhejiang, I don't know how many people would suffer." ”

An Yi said with some self-reproach: "We still bear a certain amount of responsibility for the disaster of the eight million fathers and villagers in eastern Zhejiang this time, after all, we are responsible for the sea surface reconnaissance, and there is such a mistake......

"Look, you're here again! Only those who catch thieves, where is the reason to prevent thieves at night? Shen Fengdao said disapprerovingly: "Who would have thought that a certain country would learn from us and use clever tricks to deceive cities, coastal defense posts and fortresses?" Our pilots are not immortals, who would have thought that the person on the ground wearing the same military uniform as the friendly army would be a native of a certain country? This incident warns us, don't underestimate a certain countryman, they have a strong ability to imitate and learn, and now I finally understand why you have repeatedly asked for caution in the North China battlefield to use bazookas and new weapons, it must be that you are afraid that the devil will find out, and they will be used against us......"

"That's right, a small country not only has a strong ability to imitate, but also has a good spirit of innovation, look at the four-engine bomber group combat tactics this time, this should be the first in the world, with the impact of this air war, I think the Germans will also develop a powerful four-engine bomber, it is estimated that Europe will not be peaceful in the future!"

An Yi thought for a while, and said, "I don't think there is much pressure on us on the front line in western Zhejiang...... Now that the two divisions of Shi Zhen's 69th Army have arrived in old Nanchang, they will be able to enter eastern Zhejiang in a few days, plus the new Eighth Army that Li Jinlong's eldest brother is driving towards Nanchang, as well as the instructors of the 26th Army, we already have eight divisions on the front line of eastern Zhejiang, and it should be enough to deal with these more than 200,000 enemy troops just for defense. When all the light and heavy firepower is in place, and the number of fighters in our aviation brigade is replenished, Lao Tzu must take the initiative to attack and recover eastern Zhejiang, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to be led by the nose by these grandsons. ”

The generals laughed lightly, with eight divisions of 160,000 troops, they can calmly say that they want to counterattack more than 200,000 enemy troops, which is probably unique in the current squadron, and only the Anjia army with advanced equipment and weapons and solid training has such confidence.

At this time, Liu Qing hurriedly walked upstairs and came to the Japanese room, and saw a large group of generals talking and laughing in the room, laughing and saying "Everyone is so interested", so he strode to An Yi's side and handed over two telegrams that had just been received shortly before and after.

After An Yi read it, he passed the telegram to the generals behind him, and there was a faint sadness on his face: "The first telegram, the press conference of the government of a certain country, is tantamount to a declaration of war, and the second is the proper meaning of the title, the enemy army gathered a large army and took the lead in firing on the front line of Nankou, and it is expected that the fire of war will burn bigger and bigger in the future, and the real test is coming......"

Nanjing, Military Commission, Office of the Chairman.

Early in the morning, Chiang Kai-shek received an urgent report from Hangzhou that the enemy did not know where he got the news that our army was about to blow up the railway bridge and wanted to gather and annihilate his troops in Jiangbei.

Only then did Chiang Kai-shek remember that he ordered Dai Li to arrest the traitor, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye, so he should have eyebrows, right? Immediately ordered the attendants to bring Dai Li.

"Headmaster, we have basically locked up the suspect, but the identity of the criminal is extremely important, if there is no conclusive evidence, we dare not do it!"

Dai Li's appearance is still cautious.

"Oh!?"

Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to be angry, but when he heard Dai Li's words, he was stunned: "Who made you so embarrassed?" ”

"Huang Jun!" Dai Li did not hesitate.

Chiang Kai-shek appeared in his mind the image of a person, not tall, calm, capable, full of literary brilliance, good writing with a hand, never do a lot of things that should be done, never say more than what should not be said, this person first followed Wang Jingwei out of office, and then followed himself for many years, never made a mistake in his work, and slowly gained his own favor, ranking in the position of secretary general of the Executive Yuan and confidential secretary, although the official rank is not too high, the importance and prominence of the position are not comparable to ordinary ministers.

In the past, after work, if I was in a good mood, I would find Huang Jun to chat, and let me go home and concentrate on sorting out ancient books. ”

Could such a person be a mole?

"Commission, according to the information we have, this person has not only leaked a number of high-level secrets of our army to a certain countryman, but he also betrayed the news of the principal, wanting to put the principal to death......

As soon as Dai Li said this, he was interrupted by Chiang Kai-shek, whose face became extremely serious: "What have you learned?" Let's hear it all. ”

"Yes!"

Dai Li respectfully reported: "Four days ago, the principal wanted to go to Hangzhou in person to see the Qiantang River Railway Bridge, officially make a decision on the application for the Third War Zone, and by the way, also cheer up the front-line soldiers. However, since the enemy fighters have often visited the railways, highways, and shipping on the Yangtze River in Nanjing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and other places since the 18th, and although they have been driven away by the Central Air Force and the Southwest Air Force, they have encountered enemy planes on the road at any time, and it is not safe after all, so at the internal meeting of the Central Military Commission on the 24th, Deputy Chief of Staff Bai suggested that you go with the British Ambassador Mr. Xu Gesen, who happened to go to Hangzhou to check the situation of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway, in which Britain has a certain share, and that Britain is a neutral country. Ambassador Xu's car had a conspicuous British logo on it, and the chairman agreed to come down at that time, and then the Military Commission immediately notified Ambassador Xu and asked him to keep it secret. On the 25th, the Soviet ambassador invited you to discuss military assistance, so you did not make the trip, and as a result, Ambassador Hsu's sedan painted with a large British flag was attacked by enemy airstrikes, and Ambassador Hsu was seriously wounded and is still unconscious. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Is there such a thing...... " Suddenly remembering something, Chiang Kai-shek broke out in a cold sweat: "You mean, that bombing was aimed at me?" ”

Dai Li nodded, but then said with great regret: "We have intensified the monitoring of Nanjing Radio, and arrested more than 20 spies of a certain country, but none of them are related to the high-level leakage case, so we speculate that the spy has adopted a more secret way of transmitting information."

"Actually, we have long suspected Huang Jun, after the secret service got the news that you were going to Hangzhou on the 24th, we guessed that Huang Jun might inform a certain Chinese person of the news, and immediately monitored him closely. At nine o'clock that night, Huang Jun suddenly went to Xuanwu Lake, walked by the lake for half an hour, chatted with the stall owner who sold gold and silver porridge, gave a few cents of legal currency to the refugees lying on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, and then sat on a big rock by the lake with his driver Xiao Wang to talk, before getting into the car, his driver peed in the grass, and another person also happened to be there, we monitored the scene, but did not find anything. Just when we wondered if we had made the wrong person, Ambassador Xu had an accident the next day, and Huang Jun didn't know when he had sent the information out. ”

Chiang Kai-shek remembered the situation of the Military Commission that day, except for the five of his own confidant generals and Bai Chongxi, only Huang Jun, who acted as the minutes of the meeting, was at the scene. He stood up, paced back and forth, his brow furrowed, pondered for a moment, and then turned his head and asked, "Is there anything else suspicious?" ”

"President, do you remember the day when the Prime Minister's Memorial Week of the Central Military Academy and the Army University began in August? Did you decide to speak in person, only to be infiltrated by a spy who was about to assassinate you while you were speaking? At that time, on the road from Zhongshan East Road to Huangpu Road, at the gate of the military academy, in the parking lot, on the rostrum of the venue, and in the venue, the military police and the personnel of our special service department took three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry to closely monitor all suspicious persons and vehicles entering and leaving, and checked the communication certificates and license plate numbers, and registered them one by one. It was under such close surveillance that two suspects infiltrated the campus, and after being discovered, they drove away in a car, ignoring tens of thousands of military and police officers. It was later verified that the car belonged to the Executive Yuan, and of all the vehicles of the Executive Yuan that day, only Secretary Huang said that his car was not driven out of the garage at home, and the rest had alibi physical evidence. ”

The more Chiang Kai-shek listened, the more frightened he became, and he was drenched in cold sweat, and after a long time, he said again: "In this way, everything is a suspicion, and there is no direct evidence to prove that Huang Jun is a spy?" ”

Dai Li's face was heavy: "Yes, so far in the investigation, there is no evidence, but Huang Jun's suspicion has risen from the middle to the first place among the 120 suspicious people in our secret service, after all, many top-secret information cannot be contacted if Huang Jun is not located, even if the elimination method is used, Huang Jun's suspicion is also in the first place." Unfortunately, we don't have any direct evidence......"

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "Continue to increase the intensity of surveillance, there must be the most conclusive evidence, before that, you must not act rashly, do not startle the snake, not necessarily, behind this Huang Jun, there are big fish." ”

"Yes! Students remembered! Dai Lian replied in a deep voice.

After Dai Li went out, Chiang Kai-shek began to ponder Huang Jun, who was promoted by Wang Jingwei, but he was close to himself, and Huang Jun was assigned by Wang Jingwei to go to Syria to supervise civil affairs, intending to take down the officials in southern Sichuan appointed by An Yi, but as soon as he got off the plane, he was arrested by the Syrian government on charges of traitors and lackeys. Since then, Huang Jun has been very close to himself, and has chatted with him about some historical allusions and funny stories after staying up late on official business many times, and has slowly become his confidant...... Could it be that the traitor hat that An Yi gave Huang Junan was not untargeted, and Huang Jun had already taken refuge in a certain country as a traitor? Or is Huang Jun simply assigned by Wang Jingwei to act as a double agent?

Just when Chiang Kai-shek had a headache, Zhao Rui, the director of the fourth hall of the base camp, hurriedly walked into the office, saluted Chiang Kai-shek solemnly, and sent the two pieces of information he had just obtained.

After reading the first telegram, Chiang Kai-shek's face instantly turned pale, and the news that the government of a certain country had announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations and the "Nine-Power Pact" hit him like a hammer in his heart, and all hopes for peace were dashed, and there was no other choice but to resist the war.

As for the second message, because of the psychological expectation of the first one, the blow to him was not so great: the enemy army had launched a surprise attack on our army at the same time on the north and south lines of the Pinghan Railway at 9 o'clock, and a great war broke out!
