Chapter 106: Ninety-One-Eight

On September 13, Zhang Xueliang was forced to bow to Japan, but he only protected Guan Yuheng and announced that he had been arrested and ordered to be disposed of.

On September 18, the Japanese Kwantung Army created the "Wicker Lake Incident" and the "918" Incident broke out.

Zhang Chun, Mao Shishan, and others jointly issued the "Declaration on the Incident of the Rape and Occupation of the Three Eastern Provinces by Japanese Imperialism," urging the Nationalist Government to abandon internal disputes and unite to resist Japan. But Chiang Kai-shek was busy reorganizing his troops with Li Zongren and Long Yun. No indication was made.

At this time, the railway from Xi'an to Luoyang was built before other systems. The construction of a military airfield in Zhengzhou was also completed. The 2nd Air Division was transferred to Zhengzhou. Several radar stations were also put into operation at the same time as the airport.

The rail transit in Shaanxi Province is also built before the highway because of the abundant railroad tracks. Oil refineries in Qingyang and Wuqi towns were put into production. Ye Ting plans to build a military airfield in Bayannur that can park at least two divisions of fighters, and a long-range rocket launch site in Helan Mountain. Because that's the closest place to Mongolia.

Soon, the 1st Air Division was also transferred to Zhengzhou.

Because they were still mainly training flights, the two divisions had only 60 fighters and 20 trainers, which was calculated as only one division's aircraft. This number is inferior to Chiang Kai-shek's air force. The flight training of the 1st Air Force Division is longer, and there are mutual confrontation drills. But there has been no actual combat yet, and the 2nd Air Division is still a cadet who has not flown for a long time.

Forty of these 60 fighters were Hawk-1 fighters. The radar and electronic systems above are very backward.

Ten of them were Hawk 1 fighters, but the radar and electronic systems were perfected. This is a transitional model. There was no plan for mass production at all, and if it wasn't for the war this time, it would have been dismantled back to the factory.

Due to the radar and electronics, flight control, and engines, there have been great changes. The original hypertrophied and bloated model was criticized by aerodynamics. They designed delta wings with a large span and a duck tongue. The body is streamlined and more compact. Powerful engines, a better aerodynamic layout, allowed the new aircraft to carry four bombs instead of two. Of course, the pylons under the wings are intended for missiles. This fighter is still used in combat. And not bombing. Now hanging bombs is also a last resort. Because the navigation system is too big, it can't fit the rockets that the plane can carry.

There were also only ten of them, and they were named Eagle II. Both the Cliff Ammunition Station and the Jingmen Aircraft Factory are working overtime to produce and renovate.

The Gun Institute is working on an air-launched weapon called a hive rocket. Twelve small rockets were mounted. It is possible to provide air combat for aircraft. The question is also how to integrate with the fire control system.

Therefore, in addition to seeing farther and more clearly than the radar of the Eagle 1, the Hawk 2 can be locked on to attack with a cannon, and the aircraft is faster. More flexible. The means of attack is just two more bombs.

However, the radar display on the Eagle II is a small liquid crystal display, which is an experimental product, but it is better than the black and white one.

This is when Einstein, at the prompting of Zhang Chun, summed up the experience of microelectronics manufacturing at the nanometer institute, he thought of the photoelectric effect of what the German physicist Lehmann called liquid crystal. So he took a group of people to conduct research on the photoelectric effect of liquid crystals, and created this display screen that can only display radar signals.

But that's just the beginning.

The photoelectric effect of crystalline silicon is being studied in the same way. Although this kind of photoelectric response under the so-called nanometer condition has not yet reached the nanometer level, it has already made Einstein addicted to concentration.

In fact, nuclear reactions are also observations and understandings of the microscopic world. Technology has really made a huge difference.

The Air Force is preparing for war with all its might.

October 1. Shanghai's business community has pledged not to buy or sell Japanese goods. However, the Kuomintang General Headquarters in Nanjing instructed important members of military organs not to join anti-Japanese groups.

Xinmin Daily and other Hubei-run newspapers are in full swing. Constant propaganda of the War of Resistance.

Although the factory and mine have repeatedly emphasized the need to pay attention to the quality of working hours and rest, people's enthusiasm for work is high.

At this time, the entire control area is actually a large construction site. Even the core area of Hubei is also being renovated, and the construction speed has suddenly accelerated under the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese war and the continuous supply of raw materials from the Saas Trading Company.

The Air Force conducts round-trip flight training between Zhengzhou and Jingmen every day. Pilots, ground crews, towers, radar stations scattered all over the place were busy.

The former enemy's command now not only has staff officers, but also a bunch of electronics, communications and other technical personnel, because it is the first time that many equipment has been operated at such a high intensity, and there are many problems.

The first thing I couldn't stand was the Eagle 1 fighter, and the problems of the engine and flight control system were all manifested. Three planes returned to the factory, and one plane fell directly into the forest, causing a fire, but fortunately, the pilot parachuted, fortunately, the forest was separated by a grassland, and the radar station and the pilot reported the exact location, and the fire was put out in time, so that it did not cause a catastrophe.

On November 4, the Northeast Army fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the mountains, and the Heilongjiang provincial city fell.

Zhang Xueliang, Fu Zuoyi, Yan Xishan, Han Fuqu, Shi Yousan, Bai Chongxi, and Ma Bufang arrived in Wuhan to negotiate the Anti-Japanese War.

However, in addition to Fu Zuoyi's push, Zhang Xueliang only asked Yan Xishan to withdraw from Hebei, and Zhang Weimin supported weapons and pills and sent the air force to participate in the war. But asked to accept Zhang Xueliang's command. Yan Xishan said that he was willing to send troops to Hebei to participate in the war, but the heart of the fallen stone was clearly revealed. These people openly said that they supported the war of resistance, but they did not take any real action.

On November 12, Soong Ziwen and Li Zongren went to Wuhan and brought with them the opinion of the central government, that China could not defeat Japan now, and that it should be resolved by diplomatic means, and that in order to strengthen its military strength, all provinces should accept the unified arrangements and arrangements of the central government.

Zhang Chun had no choice but to retreat and ask: "Does the central government declare war or not?" Just declare war, we solve it ourselves. ”

Song Ziwen said that the central government is already conducting diplomatic talks with the Japanese government, and both sides have a negotiation plan that can resolve the northeast issue. There is no need to declare war.

On November 30, Chiang Kai-shek said in his precept appointing Gu Weijun as acting foreign minister: "To conquer the outside world, we must first secure the interior, and only by unification can we resist insults, and there is no country that cannot be unified but can win over the outside."

At this point, negotiations are no longer necessary. Except for Zhang Xueliang's representatives, Fu Zuoyi and Bai Chongxi stayed in Wuhan, and the others returned to the provinces.

Zhang Chun could only smile bitterly: "Chiang Kai-shek is actually right, if you go outside, you must first settle inside." But one thing that has been done wrong is to think that diplomacy can solve the problem, Japan is now in an economic crisis, and it is urgent to solve the problem of domestic unemployment, and the hardliners who implement the mainland policy occupy a dominant position, and the three eastern provinces have been cultivated for many years, and if they don't take it at this time, when will they take it? Zhang Hanqing didn't come because he was worried that I would grab his territory. ”

Zhang Chun glanced at Zhang Xueliang's representative, because this was just an unknown staff officer under Zhang Xueliang, who was just here to pass the word. The staff officer lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

"At the moment of the great enemy, is it worth it to be robbed of territory by the Japanese?" Zhang Chun's face turned cold: "I don't care what you do, I'm going to resist the war." ”

On December 1, the Wuhan government and the CCP sent a telegram to the whole country, deciding to establish the People's Revolutionary Army and change the Wuhan Autonomous Government to the Wuhan People's Autonomous Government. From now on, the Wuhan People's Autonomous Government declared war on Japan.

An article in Xinmin Bao said that it had been nearly three months since Japan invaded and occupied Northeast China, and the Nationalist Government had yet to declare war on Japan. A civil war is a civil war, but what does it have to do with a declaration of war on Japan? Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, in response to Mr. Sun's call, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated to establish the Central Committee of the Kuomintang. But Chiang Kai-shek betrayed Mr. Sun's last wishes, and the Kuomintang has completely transformed into a bourgeois party since the purging of the party. The CCP exercises autonomy for self-preservation, but it has never separated from the central government. To this day, enduring humiliation and burden, but not in exchange for the peace of the country, but foreign invasion cannot be declared war, there is no such reason in the world.

Mao Shishan published an article entitled "Why the Kuomintang Didn't Declare War," saying that the Nationalist Government's refusal to declare war was just that the capitalists gathered around Chiang Kai-shek were afraid of losing their pots and jars. Whether these people are full of people or Japanese, just keep their altars and jars. It is called "Mingzhe to protect his life", but in fact he is a traitor. The death of the Ming Dynasty is vivid.

On December 2, the establishment of the People's Revolutionary Army was announced.

The First Army, Corps Commander, He Long. Political Commissar Ma Jun

Under the jurisdiction of the First Army, the commander Zhang Liang.

Second Army, Commander Peng Pai

Third Army, Commander Ye Jianying

The Second Group Army, corps commander Zhou Rong, political commissar Liu Qinghua.

Fourth Army, Commander Zhang Tian.

Fifth Army, Army Commander Tang Jiaxing.

Sixth Army, commander Yang Hucheng

Third Army, corps commander Lu Zhonglin

Seventh Army, commander Zhang Linyue

Eighth Army, Commander Li Mingzhong

Ninth Army, Army Commander Ji Hongchang

Tenth Army, commander Song Zheyuan

The Supreme Military Committee of the People's Revolutionary Army was established, with Chairman Zhang Chun and members Liu Ying, Mao Shishan, Liu Bocheng, and Zhu De.

The People's Revolutionary Army Advisory Committee was set up, with members Song Qingling, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, and Gu Ming. Wu Peifu and Gu Ming are both retired. And Song Qingling and Feng Yuxiang were unwilling to directly get involved in the affairs of the military department. However, at the moment of the great enemy, the military headquarters must go to the front line, and someone in the rear must preside over it, so all four promised to make up five members when the members of the military committee in Wuhan were insufficient for collective decision-making.

It was an outlandish decision. The government also hung the title of "Wuhan Autonomy", indicating that it had not separated from the central government. However, the army did not listen to orders at all, and even the number was completely its own.

As soon as the communiqué was published, articles were set off across the country refuting the central government, believing that this was an attempt to force all patriots to Liangshan. Voices supporting the Wuhan government have taken over the mainstream.

On December 3, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech condemning Japan's invasion of Northeast China and demanding that Japan immediately stop its provocative acts, otherwise it would be responsible for all the consequences.

It was also a strange speech, as if it had declared war on Japan, but there was room for manoeuvre. At the same time, it is also said that if the People's Revolutionary Army goes to war, it can be related to me, but it can also be said that it has nothing to do with me. (To be continued......)
