vs 46 Lao Jiang (2)

Qian Dajun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Bench, Baoding is in the line of fire, you are burdened by the survival of the party/country, Dajun means, it is still not appropriate to go in person." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the committee thinks it is necessary, it is better to send a telegram to Director Cichen and transfer them to Nanjing ......"

Lao Jiang also knew very well how dangerous his sudden decision was, and naturally he would be dissuaded by the people below, so he took a few steps in a deep voice, picked up a telegram on the table and looked at it, it was sent by Chen Cheng from the Songhu battlefield a few days ago, and there was such a paragraph: '...... According to the commander of the 98th Division, the Yao Battalion of the Division's Road Regiment held on to Baoshan, and from Weichen, the enemy bombed with superior forces and vehicles, gunboats, and aircraft, and the city wall was destroyed in several places, and the officers and soldiers of the battalion fought hard to resist the war, and suffered heavy casualties, and fought fiercely until 10 o'clock on the day of the fish (6th), and the casualties were exhausted, unable to support, and the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion made heroic sacrifices from the battalion commander and below. ’

Lao Jiang frowned, from the start of the war on August 13 to today, the Chinese army has invested nearly 40 integrated divisions, and the commander-in-chief is General Zhang Zhizhong, but I don't know if it is a mistake in decision-making, or a weak combat force, all the news that comes back is bad! "Wen Bai is incompetent!" He scolded in his heart, turned his head and said, "Mu Yin, I have made up my mind, you just have to go down and make arrangements, right?" ”

Qian Dajun thought he had persuaded him, but he didn't want to end up with such a result? He knew that Lao Jiang was smooth on the surface, but rigid in his heart, and it was difficult for him to change his opinion because of the words of others, but fortunately, if he couldn't, there were still people who could do it, such as Mrs. Jiang.

Unexpectedly, this time Lao Jiang was hard-hearted, even with the hard persuasion of his wife and subordinates, he couldn't stop his determination to hold a military conference in Baoding," ...... Darling, the current situation is so erosive, whether it is me, or the party/country, we really need a big victory to reverse this dangerous situation! ”

In the evening, when only the husband and wife were present, he finally said what he thought to his wife: "At present, not only the people and the people, but also all forces and the elderly in the army are watching the progress of the Anti-Japanese War, that is, the countries of Britain, the United States, France and Russia, in the face of the request for mediation by Liang Chou (referring to Wang Chonghui, then Minister of Foreign Affairs), Fu Chu (Guo Taiqi, ambassador to the UK), Shaochuan (Gu Weijun, ambassador to France) and others, they all have a perfunctory and prevaricating attitude. ”

Mrs. Jiang's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, with a somewhat puzzled tone: "Sir Xu Gesen has not been asked by the government since July 12 to raise it before and after...... Three conciliation schemes? ”

When Lao Jiang heard this, a cloud of anger suddenly exploded on Qingyi's face, his cheeks were clenched, and he was silent for a long time. As his wife said, since 12 July, he has acted on behalf of the British Government three times in a row to mediate, but in fact, because he was worried about causing contradictions between Britain and Japan and provoking the Japanese military, he took action against Britain.

Compared with Britain's hypocrisy, the attitude of the United States is even more clear: it will not criticize Japan, will not take any sanctions, will not give China any assistance, will not assume the responsibility for China's sovereignty and territorial integrity guaranteed in the "Nine-Power Pact," will not participate in any mediation, and will not transmit any peace message between China and Japan.

The inactive Far East policy based on this 'six noes' policy, and the desire of Lao Chiang to ask Britain and the United States and other powerful countries to mediate in the middle are tantamount to seeking fish from the wood!

Japan had already figured out the cards of Britain and the United States, and so on, so in the Songhu area, it was completely unscrupulous in launching the war machine, and the Chinese army was far inferior in terms of equipment, strength, and quality of soldiers. In addition, Lao Jiang always had an illusion in his heart, and the government vacillated between peace and war, which also caused the uncontrollable situation of the Songhu battlefield.

There was silence in the dark of night in the bedroom, save for the man's long, uneven wheezing. The woman saw her husband's indignation, and lightly poured him a glass of water - Lao Jiang is not addicted to tobacco and alcohol, and he doesn't even drink tea, his only drink is pure white water, "Darling, take a sip of water......"

"Thank you." Lao Jiang took the cup, barely squeezed out a smile, and quickly retracted, and said: "You also know that in the third war zone and the second war zone, our side is losing and retreating, and it is at this time that Ji Chang still does not forget that the party is fighting against differences!" It's just abominable! ”

The woman was startled for no reason, how did her husband's speech become upside down? She hurriedly diverted the subject: "Darling? You're tired, can you rest first? ”

Lao Jiang didn't speak, let his wife help him, sat on the edge of the bed, but suddenly stood up: "You ......" He shook his head a little apologetically: "You rest first, I still have something." ”

"It's almost ten o'clock? Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow? ”

"I can't." He seldom spoke so hardly, hurriedly threw down a sentence, and walked out of the bedroom, and soon, there was the sound of footsteps and the sound of dressing outside, and after a while, it gradually fell silent again.

The woman sighed gloomily, and infinite pity swelled in her heart, since the beginning of the Qiqi Incident, the number of times the husband and wife have sat together to eat can be counted with one slap, not to mention going to bed on time. She raised her hand to dim the light on the bedside, pulled the sheet over herself, leaned on the pillow, and closed her eyes.

*************************************************

This night, Lao Jiang spent time in the war room again, and the sky in the east gradually turned white, and Lao Jiang opened his eyes under the effect of the biological clock: "Mu Yin? ”

"Yes."

"Is there any news from the Songhu battlefield?"

"This ......" Qian Dajun hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes." The commander of the third army of Mexico has a telegram. ”

"Bad news?"

"Yes."

Lao Jiang put his hand on his forehead, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he asked: "Did you say in the telegram that General Cichen and General Jiesan would have different opinions on the plan of the First Theater to fight against Japan on the Pinghan Line and the Jinpu Line?" ”

"This, yes. However, the language in the message is not clear, and the commission is ......"

"No, I'm going to Baoding in person. By the way, I asked you to contact Commander Zhirou yesterday, have you contacted you? ”

"Contacted, connected." Qian Dajun lied to his face, but he didn't hesitate at all, he knew that the stakes were very high, and if he said no, he would definitely anger the other party, so he knew that it was inappropriate, so he had to stand up to it, "Commander Zhirou said, this matter is very important, please think twice." ”

"Think twice? Tell him and let him arrange it, and I will rush to Baoding as soon as possible. In addition, I informed General Baichuan and asked him to set out from Jin Province and join me in Baoding to attend a military meeting. He turned around and said, "Also, notify Jingzhi (He Yingqin), Ji Kuan (Huang Shaohong), Yue Jun (Zhang Qun) and the minister, and let them draw up a commendation according to the list of meritorious personnel reported by Cichen, Weiwen, and Jiesan." ”

"Yes." Qian Dajun waited for a while, seeing that he had nothing more to say, and asked, "Minister Chen of the Propaganda Department, do you want to notify me too?" ”

Lao Jiang pondered for a while, and finally shook his head decisively: "No, don't not." Oh, and also, Chairman Zhaoming is busy with government affairs, so there is no need to inform him about this matter. ”

Qian Dajun nodded understandingly: "Dajun understands." (To be continued.) )
