Chapter 1332 Pre-war drips

Nanjing, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chiang Kai-shek, who had not slept all night, stood in front of Yin Jinan, looked carefully, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I have been abroad for more than two years, and my demeanor is still the same, but I am more mature and stable, and I can give him greater responsibility and trust." ”

Yin Jinan hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for the cultivation." ”

Chiang Kai-shek patted Yin Jinan on the shoulder affectionately: "When did you arrive in Nanjing?" ”

Yin Jinan said respectfully: "The students took the flight from Berlin to Syria in China by the German Lufthansa Line, and finally arrived in Syria in the early hours of the morning after nearly 30 hours of flight. Then I left my wife, who was tired from the journey, in Syria, to reunite with my father-in-law and mother-in-law after a long absence, and arrived in Nanjing by special plane overnight. I beg the principal's forgiveness, Ji Nan was worried about the safety of his eldest brother, so he rushed to Nanjing Central General Hospital to meet his eldest brother before rushing to meet the principal. ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and waved his hand: "This is human nature, you don't need to apologize to me." If I hadn't been busy with military affairs, I would have guarded the door of An Yi's ward......"

Yin Jinan was a little surprised: "Principal-"

Chiang Kai-shek sighed: "Alas, An Yi did his best for the party and the state, and he was born and died, and the amount of effort he paid was unimaginable..... By the way, what are your plans for coming back this time? ”

Yin Jinan said respectfully: "All the students are subject to the principal's arrangement!" ”

"You, it's just that your personality is too weak, not like An Yi's arguments and uncompromising, if only the two of you could synthesize."

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head, returned to his desk, and took out a document from his file bag: "This is the document dictated by An Yi after waking up yesterday, he asked for you to be appointed to the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the First Group Army, and the Ministry of Military Affairs approved this appointment in principle. What are your thoughts on this? ”

As early as the passenger plane that came to Nanjing, Yin Jinan got a general introduction from Lao Shoudao and Yang Bin, and when he arrived at Nanjing Airport, he was reminded by Zhao Rui, the intelligence chief, and he already knew where he was going. But in the face of Chiang Kai-shek, he didn't dare to tell these secrets, the An Jiajun knew well the trick of Chiang Kai-shek's division and disintegration, and Yin Jinan himself was actually a victim of Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to break up the An Jiajun, so he was free from the collective for so many years.

In order to reassure Chiang Kai-shek, the current An Jiajun does not seem to be monolithic on the surface, and there are many mountains inside, Hu Jialin, Gu Changfeng, Yang Bin, Cheng Chengguang, Xia Jian, Ye Cheng and others are not convinced by anyone, as if An Yi falls, the entire group will immediately be torn apart, but the real inside story has never been known.

Therefore, at this time, Yin Jinan behaved extremely deferentially, looking directly into Chiang Kai-shek's eyes: "Students are willing to obey the dispatch of the principal, and strive to do a good job no matter where they go." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied with Yin Jinan's attitude, and after sitting down, he said: "Now An Yi is seriously injured and can't be a director, he really needs a helper by his side, and you, who have been assisting An Yi since the beginning of An Jiajun's establishment, are naturally the best candidate." Therefore, I thought about it and agreed to the appointment of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which was also voted on at the meeting of the Military Commission held yesterday afternoon. At the same time, in order for you to better control the troops, I have informed the Quanxu Department and asked them to pass the review process as soon as possible and give you a promotion to the first level. ”

Yin Jinan knew that this was Chiang Kai-shek's gesture of favor and wooing, and immediately saluted side by side: "Thank you for the principal's care!" Students can't thank you enough! ”

"You deserve it!"

Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile: "Ji Nan, I don't know what kind of soup you poured into Hitler's Führer before leaving, but the German side suddenly informed our embassy in Germany yesterday afternoon and generously agreed to the application of our national government for a military loan of 30 million Reichsmarks at the beginning of this year. At present, Britain and the United States and other countries have provided weapons and equipment and financial assistance to our country, so this money is too timely, and I am ready to use this money to purchase a batch of fighters that are most urgently needed in the country and join the sequence of the Central Air Force, which has suffered heavy losses. ”

Yin Jinan knew that it was his parting words that moved Hitler, but he didn't dare to take credit, and still said modestly:

"How can he change the decision of the leader of a country? This is all because Hitler saw that China, under the leadership of the Chancellor, had won victories in the war against China, so he generously donated money to alleviate the crisis between China and Germany after the conclusion of the treaty between Japan and Germany. The fundamental aspect of state-to-state relations lies in the exchange of interests. Since the establishment of the Nazi government, although great progress has been made in industrial development and solved the problems of people's work and survival, there is still an extreme shortage of living and production materials. Before 1933, Germany profited from the fall in the price of raw materials on the international market. But in 1934 and 1935, the prices of manufactured goods on the international market continued to fall, while the prices of raw materials, foodstuffs and semi-finished products continued to rise, which was very unfavorable for an industrial country like Germany. Therefore, since last year, Germany has used advanced industrial products and weapons and equipment to exchange a large amount of agricultural products and raw materials from China, Denmark, the Soviet Union, and Eastern European countries.

"The reason why Germany will provide China with the preferential treatment of 30 million Reichsmarks is that as long as the pro-German Chinese government can persist in the war and stabilize the front outside the production areas of tungsten ore and antimony ore, then Germany can continuously obtain strategic raw materials such as tungsten, antimony, and tin from China, and the benefits to Germany's military industry are unimaginable. On the contrary, if these mining areas in China are damaged by war, Germany's special steel plants will fall into a miserable situation of no rice to cook, and the special steel used to make aircraft, tanks, and artillery will be gone, which is what any wise *** family does not want to see. Therefore, from the perspective of the root cause, it is still due to the resolute resistance policy of the rector, and the relationship between the needs of China and Germany. ”

"Very good, Jinan, your vision is unique, and I am very relieved to be able to see places that others can't see." Chiang Kai-shek nodded his head in approval.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Chen Bui quickly stepped inside: "Chairman of the Committee, Chabei Express, General Yan Baichuan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, decisively dispatched troops, at three o'clock in the morning, General Zhao Chengshou of the First Cavalry Army led the first and second divisions of the cavalry to raid Shangdu, and the main force of the Jin Sui Army accelerated to the north, attacked Shangyi, and reinforced the first line of the southern trench. At present, the fighting in the major towns in northern Chabei is fierce, and the Japanese army seems to be showing signs of collapse. ”

"Good!"

Chiang Kai-shek was greatly excited, stood up and said to Yin Jinan: "Jinan, go to the war room with me and watch the battle situation?" ”

Although Yin Jinan was tired and wanted to die, he didn't dare to slack off, and said solemnly: "Dare not obey your fate!" Then let Chiang Kai-shek hold hands and walk to the war room of the Military Commission next door.

......

Iron Ridge, Headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps.

Hu Jialin, who had slept for three or four hours on the temple incense case, was woken up by the whispering of the staff officers, wiped his eyes and stood up, stretched his waist, saw a glimmer of light outside the door, and hurriedly asked: "What time is it?" ”

Confidential staff officer Hua Zifeng stood up from the sand table and trotted all the way to Hu Jialin: "It's almost six o'clock, ten minutes ago, the Nanjing side called, and the commander, who had been escorted by a special plane to Nanjing Central General Hospital for observation and treatment at eight o'clock last night, woke up for the second time, explained some things and fell asleep again. At the same time, the fourth hall forwarded the information from Taiyuan, the Jin Sui army has decided to resist Japan, the main force to the front line of Chabei, the first cavalry army has conquered the Shangdu, the 33rd Army of the Sixth Army attacked Shangyi, the 34th Army captured the southern trench, and the situation of the battle in Chabei was rapidly reversed. ”

"Oh?"

Hu Jialin excitedly took over the thick stack of telegrams, because the battle in northern Chabei was an inseparable part of the war situation in North China, so he took the lead in reading the series of information about the Jin Sui army forwarded by the fourth hall.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the military and political meeting of the Second Theater, Yan Xishan officially announced the idea of the strategy of resisting Japan: first, political strategy, resist the invasion of the Japanese; Second, strategy, the implementation of a protracted war, giving up land is irrelevant, in a protracted war, we should study the reduction of the three forces of the Japanese army, that is, aircraft, artillery, and chariots; Third, tactics, today's army mobilized heavy troops in North China, if it wants to fight a decisive battle with us, in this confrontation with the Japanese army, we should choose the opportunity to annihilate several Japanese troops, win the entire battle, and then evacuate the army for a protracted war; Fourth, in battle, the Japanese army has nothing to rely on except the use of firepower, and it should avoid its sharp edge in battle, so that it cannot give full play to it and will surely achieve victory, so it is advisable for our army to fight the Japanese army in a favorable terrain so that its planes, chariots, and artillery will be useless.

After reading the several pages of the telegram, Hu Jialin was deeply excited, Yan Xishan's statement showed his determination and vision for the War of Resistance, and showed that Yan Xishan had enough psychological preparations to fight against the enemy, and made his own analysis of the current enemy situation. In particular, the surprise attack carried out by the Jin Sui army in the early morning under the cover of night showed that at least a few days ago, the Jin Sui army had mobilized and mobilized troops, and was psychologically prepared for the Japanese army to switch from holding each other to attacking.

With more than 200,000 troops of the Jin Sui army entering the battlefield, the situation in North China as a whole is progressing in favor of the Central Army, and as long as all units work together, it is possible to maintain a relatively stable balance of power in North China.

Subsequently, Hu Jialin looked at the minutes of the conversation sent by Nanjing about An Yi's meeting with the generals of An Jiajun, and was deeply convinced of An Yi's prediction that war would break out in Shanghai in the near future, but due to the influence of the Jin Sui army's participation in the war, he was a little unimpressed by An Yi's proposal to do his best to ensure the safety of the corps.

At midnight yesterday, Liu Zhi hurriedly led the headquarters of the Second Group Army and nearly 100,000 people who had been urgently withdrawn from various fronts to Sanhe County through Tiejialing. Because the retreat was too eager, when Liu Zhi's car passed by Tiejialing, he didn't even have the heart to stop the car and talk to Hu Jialin and other generals of the Fifth Army, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from the top and bottom of the Fifth Army. In today's Sanhe County, the Second Group Army, in addition to the units of the First Army Corps and the original two security divisions, has a total strength of 150,000 troops, ensuring the temporary stability of the entire eastern Hebei front. Moreover, judging from the progress of the war, Sanhe only faced the threat of the Japanese army in the south, and a new division of the 29th Group Army was stationed in Pinggu County in the north, and the roads to the west and north were guaranteed.

At this time, Huang Zhi and Zhang Chengzhu, who were worried about the war, also walked into the war room one after another, took the telegram from Hu Jialin's hand and read it, and just wanted to discuss a few words about it, when they suddenly heard a dense "buzzing" sound, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they rushed out of the temple with the staff officers.

Everyone came to the high post with a big pine tree covering their heads in the east, picked up the telescope and looked at it, only to see that in the southeast sky, the black and oppressive Japanese fighter group flew in the direction of Jixian, and soon flew over Bangjun Town, dropping dense bombs.

Hu Jialin raised his wrist and looked at his watch: Six o'clock!

The impatient Japanese army finally showed their fangs after suffering a series of heavy defeats!
