… To sum up, the United Kingdom, the United States and other Western countries are currently trapped in their own situations and will adopt a wait-and-see policy, at most another Lyrton report. //.qb5、COｍ\

Tianxingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement; Compatriots, we can't count on others, we can't pin our hopes on Western countries, they didn't take action in 918, they didn't take action in the Rehe War of Resistance, they are still silent in the Great Wall War of Resistance, can we expect them to intervene now? No, no, they will remain silent. ”

This article "Can We Count on the Nine-Power Pact? After it was published in Chongqing, it was quickly reprinted by newspapers in Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai, and before people had time to express their disappointment, Mei Youlan successively published "Yellowed Waste Paper: The Nine-Power Pact" and "The West Is Helpless Against Japan."

In these articles, Mei Youlan analyzed in detail the domestic problems of the United States and Britain and the problems they faced, arguing that they would not interfere in the Sino-Japanese war, and that the Nine-Power Pact had become a piece of waste paper as early as when Japan launched 918, and any idea of placing high hopes on them was doomed to fail.

Chiang Kai-shek was so angry when he saw these articles that he left the newspaper on the table, Song Meiling looked up at him and couldn't help asking: "Da Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chiang Kai-shek's face was gloomy and he did not hide his annoyance: "This Mei Youlan, what is she going to do?" ”

Song Meiling looked at the newspaper on the table and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just the little girl's own opinion." ”

"But now we are seeking British and American friends to intervene in accordance with the Nine-Power Pact, but she has described the Nine-Power Pact as a piece of waste paper in the newspaper." Chiang Kai-shek was very dissatisfied, and one of the strategic purposes of the war in Shanghai was to intervene in Europe and the United States, but the United States and Britain did not take any action except for a neutral zone at the beginning. At the same time, he couldn't believe Song Meiling on this issue, Song Meiling was too protective, as long as she had a relationship with the Song family, she would resolutely protect it, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

The war situation in Shanghai gradually became unfavorable, and Chiang Kai-shek began to feel anxious, urging Wang Chonghui to ask the signatories of the Nine-Power Pact to come forward to uphold justice, and on the other hand, he asked the German government for help through the German ambassador Todman; Wang Chonghui had just received news that the signatories had agreed to convene an international conference to discuss the Sino-Japanese war, but the German side was very hesitant, Berlin never responded, and the ambassador to Germany did not meet Hitler several times.

The scenery of Tangshan is very beautiful, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the hot springs that continue to flow in all seasons are suitable for the recuperation of dignitaries and nobles in Nanjing, and the beauty is simple and elegant, but Chiang Kai-shek has no intention of appreciating it at this moment.

The battle situation in Shanghai was gradually passive, Zhang Zhizhong's Ninth Army retreated to the west bank of the Suzhou Creek, and the Japanese landing force on the south bank of the Yangtze River continued to increase its troops, conquered Wusong Town under the cover of naval guns, and launched an attack on Dachang, Baoshan, and Luodian on all fronts.

The situation in North China also took a sharp turn for the worse. The Japanese army conquered Datong and Shijiazhuang and attacked westward along the Pingsui Line. Tang Enbo resisted valiantly at the south exit. However, the Mongolian Xinjiang dispatch army led by Hideki Tojo broke through the defense line of Liu Ruming, Fu Zuoyi and other troops. Occupy Zhangjiakou. Townenberg was forced to retreat from the southern exit. Servitude. Townenburg's army fought hard for a week. More than half of the troops were lost.

Reports of defeats on various battlefields are frequent. Chiang Kai-shek was extremely depressed. But today German Ambassador Todmann is coming. It seems that the German government has finally responded. He also had to brace his spirits. Pretend to go leisurely to Tangshan Villa.

Toddman didn't come. He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi came first. After the situation of unifying the anti-Japanese war was gradually formed. Li Zongren was appointed commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations. Bai Chongxi served as deputy chief of the general staff. Chiang Kai-shek still remembers the successful cooperation between the two during the Northern Expedition. Although at that time, Dibai Chongxi was very proud. But his talent was something that Chiang Kai-shek greatly admired.

"Chairman. The war situation in North China is very serious. The main force of the Japanese army, six divisions and three heavy artillery brigades were assembled in central Hebei. The General Staff judged that the next direction of the Japanese attack was Baoding. The goal is a decisive battle with our army. He Yingqin first introduced the most important situation. At present, the most alarming thing is the war situation in North China. Baoding is currently related to the 52nd Army of Lin Land and the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan. Sun Lianzhongdi's First Army and Sun Dianying and other miscellaneous troops. Although there are many troops on this front. But the equipment was really good only for the 52nd Army. The combat effectiveness is relatively strong, and there are only two departments, Guan Linzheng and Sun Lianzhong. After the withdrawal of the 29th Army from Pingjin. Morale was completely broken. Song Zheyuan pleaded with him several times. He demanded that he be removed from his post as commander of the 29th Army in another place. Bear the responsibility for the loss of Tianjin land in Beiping.

"The Japanese Mongolian Corps continued to attack south. Threat Datong. Yan Xishan's Jin army was defeated in successive battles. At present, it is retreating to the defense line of the Inner Great Wall. After Wei Lihuangdi's 14th Army canceled the reinforcement of Nankou. Turn to Taiyuan. Assist Yan Xishan in the defense of Shanxi. ”

"The opinion of the General Staff is to cancel the Baoding operation. Concentrate the main force to defend Shanxi. I would like to ask the Chairman of the Committee to decide. Bai Chongxi saw Chiang Kai-shek looking at him inquiringly. took out the countermeasures that had been discussed with He Yingqin. The troops originally transferred to North China were transferred to Shanghai. The North China side is short of troops. Japanese Army

Our army is comparable, the terrain in North China is flat, there is no danger to defend at all, it is conducive to the Japanese army's kinetic forces, and a decisive battle in North China is not good for us.

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while, and did not immediately answer Bai Chongxi's words, but asked about the Sichuan army: "Where did Deng Jinkang lead the 23rd Group Army?" ”

"Most of the 23rd Group Army has crossed the Qinling Mountains and reached southern Shaanxi, and is currently resting in the area while waiting for heavy artillery units." He Yingqin felt that Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so he explained for Deng Xihou: "The road of the Sichuan army out of Sichuan is too difficult, and it is not easy to cross the Qinling Mountains in sixteen days. ”

"It is difficult to go to the blue sky;" Bai Chongxi smiled: "Deng Jinkang is still walking in Qinling, and Yang Zihui is also stopping in Wuhan by water." ”

Chiang Kai-shek snorted lightly: "Yang Sen is also waiting for his follow-up troops in Wuhan, respectfully, you urge him again, tell him that Shanghai is tight, and rush to the front line as soon as possible." ”

Bai Chongxi, in the name of Chiang Kai-shek, wanted to transfer the two divisions that had arrived in Wuhan in advance to the Songhu battlefield, but Yang Sen resolutely refused, the reason was very high-sounding, the logistics could not keep up, and there was no artillery ammunition.

Chiang Kai-shek did not let Bai Chongxi come forward but let He Yingqin come forward because He Yingqin was a native of Guizhou, Sichuan was a neighbor, and He Yingqin had also been courting the powerful faction in Sichuan, and had a good relationship with Liu Xiang, Yang Sen and others, of course, Zhuang Jihua had a better relationship with them, and he was already a grasshopper on a rope.

What Chiang Kai-shek didn't know was that Yang Sen stayed in Wuhan for more than ten days, and now that the troops had arrived, there was no excuse to delay, and the troops began to set off on the Songhu battlefield in two ways, one was the heavy artillery regiment and the baggage troops, and this one was by land; The other way is by water, and go ashore in Wuhu. Since the superiority of the air force was suppressed by the Japanese army in numbers, the Chinese shipping army changed from Zhenjiang to go ashore in Wuhu and took the land route.

"The troops are insufficient, the troops in all battlefields are insufficient," Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "Our army's equipment is too poor, comparatively speaking, the equipment of the Sichuan army is quite good, some units are better than the equipment of the Central Army, and the Sichuan army has to be transferred out, telegraph to Liu Xiang, and give him the number of the group army, and the commander of the group army will be served by him, and he will go out of Sichuan to participate in the war as soon as possible, and the weapons and ammunition needed will be asked by Li Zhilong." ”

He Yingqin was stunned, Chiang Kai-shek was generous enough this time, and he actually wanted to open up the supply, but Bai Chongxi nodded slightly, he understood Chiang Kai-shek's purpose, Chiang Kai-shek was paving the way for the central government to enter Sichuan, first transfer the Sichuan army, and then transfer Liu Xiang out of Sichuan, so that the remaining Sichuan army would be leaderless, so that the central government could smoothly control Sichuan.

"Telegraph this to Zhuang Wenge and tell him that the new 22nd and 38th divisions should be formed as soon as possible, and the new 1st Group should be renamed the 49th Group Army, and the troops should leave Sichuan immediately."

"The troops of the new group have already begun to move, and the Cultural Revolution has divided the troops into two routes, one army by land, and the other army and heavy weapons by water, and the march route has been reported to the general staff. However, he also mentioned another thing, Liu Xiang was sick. He Yingqin said that he originally came to talk about the war in North China, but he didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to talk about the Sichuan army leaving Sichuan first, and Liu Xiang's illness was still learned from Zhuang Jihua, and he didn't know the specific details.

"Sick?" Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, this was beyond his expectations, he was not sure whether it was a real illness or a fake illness, frowned and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, then ask him to recommend a group army commander, tell him to let him recuperate, ask He Guoguang to go and see on my behalf, and send 500 yuan of condolences to him, he is also tired." ”

Bai Chongxi couldn't help snickering in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek said it in a high-sounding manner, he didn't know if he didn't send He Guoguang to find out the truth, but he couldn't break it, everyone knew it.

"The war in North China cannot be fought as previously designed, and the troops have been emptied, I mean to give up the decisive battle in Hebei and concentrate the main force to protect Shanxi." Chiang Kai-shek finally brought the topic to the war situation in North China, Bai Chongxi was in high spirits, this decision obviously accepted his opinion, and as soon as he sat up straight, he heard Chiang Kai-shek continue: "To give up is to give up the decisive battle, from time to time not to let go of a shot, the way to resist step by step, to attract the Japanese army." The main force turned to Shanxi, especially Niangzi Pass and Yanmen Pass, and holding these two points is equivalent to holding Shanxi. Wei Lihuang was appointed deputy commander of the Second Theater of Operations. What about Shanghai? What's new? ”

The situation of the battle on the Shanghai front was reported to Chiang Kai-shek every day, so he knew every step of the progress of the battle in Shanghai and the situation of every regiment. In order to receive Todman, Chiang Kai-shek went to Tangshan yesterday evening and did not know much about yesterday's war.

He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed when they arrived, Chiang Kai-shek immediately noticed it, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did the Japanese army cross the Suzhou Creek or did Dachang and Luodian lose? ”
