Vice Chairman Zhou came to the house, Yanzi was both happy and shy at the same time, although he was married, this momentum still couldn't be extinguished.

After sitting down, Han Lihong put a copy of the manuscript in front of the prime minister and said, "Sir, you can take a look at this." ”

The title of the manuscript was "Review of the Battle of Shanghai and Views on the Future War Situation," and the premier picked up the manuscript, opened it, and read it carefully, line by line.

At the beginning, Han Lihong raised the question of the necessary surname for the Battle of Shanghai.

The reason for the Battle of Shanghai was, of course, due to the negligence of Chiang Kai-shek and his Kuomintang leaders, but Han Lihong did not dwell on this aspect, but only mentioned it in passing, and he focused on the question of the necessary surname of the Battle of Shanghai itself.

In the previous life, in order to absolve itself of historical responsibility, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang pointed out several major benefits obtained by our side in the "Summary of the Eight-Year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" made by Chen Cheng.

First, factory supplies in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were able to retreat.

Second, the international impression of China has been completely new, and it has also enabled our country to achieve tremendous diplomatic and political results.

Third, it disrupted the operational concept of the Japanese army and forced the Japanese army to transfer its main forces to the lakes and marshes and mountains to fight against us, so that the enemy was in an unfavorable terrain and thus our army was in a favorable terrain.

Fourth, our army in North China was in a favorable situation, especially our army in Shanxi was fully prepared to resist the invading army, so that the army in Shanxi could never cross the Yellow River westward, and this was the greatest strategic success of our side.

In this summary of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Cheng said the four major benefits of the Battle of Shanghai, but he did not mention how the "four major benefits" were obtained, and he forgot about the 400,000 soldiers killed and injured in the Battle of Shanghai.

Moreover, even if the so-called "four major benefits" are real, it is extremely unworthwhile to face the casualties of 400,000 soldiers, not to mention that none of these "four major benefits" can stand up to scrutiny.

First, factory supplies in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were evacuated.

As a matter of fact, in order to prevent the arsenals from being bombed, destroyed, or fallen into the hands of the enemy after the outbreak of war, the Nationalist Axe began to move the arsenals on the eastern coast to the west or merge them with other factories two years ago.

As for other industrial and mining enterprises, first, there were not many of them in Shanghai, and second, the coastal areas of the Huangpu River and Pudong were full of warships, so Shanghai's industries and materials could not be withdrawn.

In the cities of Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Nanjing in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, there are nothing more than some textile and light industries, and it is worth it for a fool to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives just to evacuate these small amounts of light industry and certain military supplies.

Second, the international impression of our side has been completely new and has enabled us to achieve diplomatic and political results.

On this point, it is quite right: The Battle of Songhu made the European and American countries highly evaluate China's determination to resist the Japanese and the combat effectiveness of their troops, but whether it was worth it at the expense of the lives of hundreds of thousands of our officers and men just to win the praise of Britain and the United States and other countries was worth it, and only the great Chairman Chiang and some petty Chairman Chiang thought it was worthwhile.

As for the political achievements of our side, it is also true that after the Battle of Songhu, all political parties, all forces, and all strata of the people throughout the country saw that Chiang Kai-shek's political axe was genuinely to resist the war, so the people of the whole country united to fight against imperialism. However, for this alone, will it be necessary to pay the lives of hundreds of thousands of my officers and soldiers? Won't it be possible to arouse the enthusiasm and determination of the people of the whole country and the forces of all parties to unite in the struggle against imperialism in other ways, or at a relatively small cost?

Third, it disrupted the battle plan of the Chinese army and forced the Chinese army to move its main forces to the lakes and marshes and mountains of central China, putting the Chinese army in an unfavorable terrain and our army in a favorable terrain.

This kind of incorruptible and shameful remark can only be said by the elites represented by Chairman Chiang.

Fourth, it is the greatest strategic success of our side to enable our army to be fully prepared to resist the Yue army in Shanxi and prevent the Yue army from crossing the Yellow River one step westward.

This article is not inferior to Article 3 in terms of incorruptibility and shame.

To sum up, the Battle of Songhu only brought one benefit and effect to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which is what Chen Cheng called "political effectiveness".

It is clear, however, that such a tragic sacrifice of 400,000 brave soldiers is not necessary to achieve such a political outcome.

Han Lihong wrote this opening chapter with anger, and he was not angry with Chairman Jiang or Chen Cheng, but some brick family called beasts.

One of them was that a professor of history at Hangzhou University published a book entitled "A Biography of Chiang Kai-shek," the tone of which was completely plagiarized from the original work of Chen Cheng, chairman of the junior committee fifty or sixty years ago.

It's sad and shameful.

In the manuscript, Han Lihong clearly stated that our army should take the initiative to withdraw from the Shanghai battlefield and abandon Nanjing, and at the same time, completely destroy the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, as well as all major highways, and then organize general battles in Wuhan and Xuzhou.

In Shanghai, it is said that the supply of the army is convenient and there is no logistical pressure, but once the battle line is stretched and stretched to Xuzhou or Wuhan, it will already face great logistical supply pressure.

If the army marches into Wuhan, the supply line can only go through the Yangtze River channel, and the national political axe is fully capable of cutting off the Yangtze River shipping.

If the Yue army moves south to Xuzhou, the battlefield will be infinitely vast, and then our army will be able to attack the supply lines of the Yue army in a mobile war, which will certainly greatly contain the Yue army and disperse a considerable part of the army's troops.

In this part, Han Lihong emphatically raised the issue of abandoning Nanjing, and pointed out that if the high command adopts the decision to defend Nanjing, once serious consequences are caused, whoever makes the decision must be held responsible, and those who make such an extremely stupid decision, whether it is an individual or a party, will lose the minimum qualification to lead the country.

Next, Han Lihong made a detailed analysis of the problems existing in the Battle of Shanghai, and he mainly put forward three points.

First, there is the problem of tactical concepts.

Our army's tactical concepts are outdated and backward, and the officers and men do not have the common sense of modern warfare, and they still cling to the old tactics of the previous civil wars and fight with the army. Therefore, under the three-dimensional tactics of the army, they did not know how to evacuate and camouflage, and they only incurred many unnecessary casualties with their patriotic enthusiasm and bravery.

Second, on the battlefield, the logistics of our army cannot keep up.

Officers and men often fight on an empty stomach and can only eat one meal a day; what is more serious is that the battlefield rescue is not timely, there are pitiful medical personnel, and there are few stretcher teams; many wounded soldiers lie in the trenches and are bombarded by their artillery fire, and often minor injuries become serious injuries, and the seriously injured are left to fend for themselves.

It is impossible to say that this situation will occur in China's own territory, especially Shanghai, the country's economic center and the most prosperous region, and that it will be ready to endure many years.

Third, during the campaign, our army never set up a reserve corps.

Our army gradually joined the battle one unit at a time, and each division could only fight on the front line for three or five days, and then another unit took over.

As a result, all units were beaten in turn, and all of them were defeated, resulting in a great loss of combat effectiveness.

In the previous life, because of this, there was no army to adjust, so we had to gradually withdraw reinforcements from the troops on the two wings of our army along the coast along the river to defend the landing of the Japanese army, so that the two wings were empty, and the army was surrounded from the direction of Jinshanwei, resulting in the collapse of the whole line.

In this life, although this danger has been avoided by yin and yang, it is still extremely dangerous to fight like this.

After reading it, the prime minister put down the manuscript and said, "Lihong, your intelligence work is much more detailed than ours. ”

Han Lihong said: "The focus is different, these are not confidential things. ”

The premier nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It is unlikely that Chiang Kai-shek will abandon Nanjing. ”

With a look of iron, Han Lihong said: "In addition to this manuscript, I also asked someone to bring a message to Chiang Kai-shek, if he dares to continue to command like this, I will think that he is not qualified to be the leader of China, and I will help you develop an additional 200,000 troops within a year." ”

The prime minister was stunned for a moment, looked at Han Lihong, and asked, "Do you really have this ability?" ”

Han Lihong stood up and said excitedly, "Sir, I invite you to go somewhere." ”

Looking at Han Lihong, the prime minister smiled, at this moment, Han Lihong was like a child who wanted to offer treasure to him. When he walked out, the prime minister couldn't help but shake his head, how could there be someone like Han Lihong, this is really incredible.

Accompanied by Yanzi, the three of them went down to the tunnel, got into a jeep, and drove for about ten minutes, and they entered an underground research institute.

Looking at the brand-new and shiny machines, although the prime minister is a great talent and well-read, no one is an all-rounder, and the prime minister does not know what these machines are for.

Pointing to a machine, Han Lihong introduced: "Sir, this is a bullet machine developed by us, which can produce 33,000 rounds of bullets. ”

The prime minister was shocked, paused for a moment, and asked, "Lihong, are you saying that we can make this kind of bullet machine ourselves?" ”

Nodding, Han Lihong said, "Now it's not a big problem to produce equipment for manufacturing weapons and ammunition, the big problem is that our steel and copper production can't keep up. ”

At this time, the annual output of steel in the country was only 40,000 tons, which was 150 times that of China; The annual output of copper is even less, only 0.07 million tons, which is 120 times that of China; The annual output of oil is only 131,000 tons, which is 130 times that of China.

As for airplanes, automobiles, ships, and heavy weapons, it is said that the cost is infinitely larger than that of China, because China cannot produce these at all.

This is also the theoretical basis of Chairman Chiang's "Theory of the Three Sayings of the Destruction of the Country."

Han Lihong's most greasy fruit powder touted Lao Jiang, and what golden decade he touted was mainly in this aspect.

918 was a matter of 31 years, but Lao Jiang did not start to prepare for war until 35 years, what to do with the five-year preparation plan, and what to do earlier.

The prime minister was full of interest, squatting down to talk with the technicians and masters, and bursts of hearty laughter broke out from time to time.

The Prime Minister's laughter is the most touching in the world and will contag everything.

On the side, looking at the Prime Minister, Han Lihong's heart was sour, and he thought of the photo of the Prime Minister eating: In this life, what can he do for the Prime Minister?

――――"Jiansheng, what do you think?" After Bai Chongxi finished reading the manuscript, Feng Yuxiang asked.

"Feng Gong, great talent, great talent! No wonder the Black God Army can have such an earth-shattering achievement! Patting the armrest of the sofa, Bai Chongxi praised sincerely.

"Do you think you can talk about moving Lao Jiang?" Feng Yuxiang asked.

Shaking his head, Bai Chongxi said, "Difficult! Feng Gong, don't you know Mr. Jiang's personality? ”

From the very beginning, when he learned that national defense fortifications were being built in Shanghai, Bai Chongxi was very unimpressed, and the only way for a weak country like China, which had almost no industrial base, to fight a war with a modern power like Yuben was to drag it out.

Although it is a modern industrial power, it is also a small country, and its potential for war is limited and it cannot withstand attrition, so it should not confront the Japanese army in Shanghai, but should let the army in and lead it to the vast hinterland of the interior to fight.

Like Chiang Kai-shek, it is really as stupid as it is to concentrate more than 700,000 [***] elites in the Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou triangle and let the enemy's navy, army, and air force give full play to their superior capabilities, and there is no problem of logistical supply.

After a pause, Bai Chongxi followed again: "Abandoning Nanjing, maybe it can be done, but it is almost impossible to withdraw troops from Shanghai now, Mr. Jiang has always been the master who does not cry when he sees the coffin." ”

After talking with Bai Chongxi for a while, Feng Yuxiang said goodbye, and he was going to go on to lobby other officials.

When this manuscript reached Chiang Kai-shek's hands, he was angry and his face was pale.

In addition to being angry with this manuscript, he was also angry with Feng Yuxiang, because Feng Yuxiang didn't show him the manuscript first, but went to engage in channeling.

What is this behavior?

-- A month later, on 7 March, Shanghai's defense fortifications were first broken through by the 13th Division of the Chinese Army on the Fushan front.

Only then did Chiang Kai-shek have to give the order to retreat.

Fortunately, this time, Chairman Chiang no longer had to stare at the naïve old eyes and wait for the ruling of the League of Nations, so he retreated calmly and orderly, and did not cause the kind of disaster in the previous life.

However, the cost of the month was 100,000 casualties.

Han Lihong's manuscript was not a secret, and many high-ranking generals in the army knew the contents of it, so they did not wait for Chairman Chiang's order to completely destroy all the railways and highways between Shanghai and Nanjing.

In this move alone, a small move, hundreds of thousands of troops who had withdrawn from the battlefield were saved from being pursued by the Japanese army.

-- Sixing Warehouse, 800 heroes, Xie Jinyuan, especially in this life, and the result is the same as the previous life, retreating into the British Concession, being disarmed, and trapped in the British Concession.

-- March 11, Tianjin, British Concession.

At four o'clock in the morning, three thousand Black God troops broke into the British Concession.

Yang Daguang likes the concession the most, especially the British concession, he feels that the big mouth of the British devil is particularly comfortable, and that posture, how do you think you feel that you are very handsome.

Since Yang Daguang is here, it is naturally the commando team of the ticket to do this work, and the leader of the team this time is Liu Junting, the deputy captain.

When he was a bandit, Liu Junting was the bodyguard captain of the captain.

Yang Daguang was familiar with the road and led a team of people to No. 38 Xiaguang Road.

The last time I came, there was a big British girl who made a big impression on him. This British girl is the eldest daughter of Richardson, the governor of the Ministry of Industry of the British Concession, and I don't know if she is still there at this time.

Yang Daguang didn't have any other thoughts, he didn't dare to have him, but he had this thought in his heart, so he wanted to come and have a look.

If you break in like this, you will naturally not be polite, without the slightest politeness, let alone any gentlemanly demeanor.

Yang Daguang was disappointed, the girl was not there.

The big girl is not there, which makes Yang Daguang feel very bad, so it is easy to slap people's mouths.

Richardson, as a sensible person in the Ministry of Industry, is usually the uncle of the uncles, so he couldn't help it, and quarreled for a few sentences, letting Yang Daguang pull his hair and whip it hard.

As a result, the uncle of this uncle was full of teeth and there were not a few left.

More than an hour later, the arrest and raiding work ended.

The British were killed one hundred and thirty-seven, and all the others surrendered; All of the 2,789 expatriates were captured and their property confiscated.

At the same time, all the British property in Shandong and Hebei provinces was confiscated, and most of the expatriates were arrested.

――――Nanjing, the official residence of the cemetery.

Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were having breakfast.

Soong Meiling was a completely Westernized Chinese, and with the help of his wife, Chiang Kai-shek was almost Westernized, he converted to Christianity, and his living habits changed even more, and breakfast was usually a glass of milk and three or four slices of bread.

Sitting at the dining table, Chiang Kai-shek had just taken a sip of milk, when the attendant adjutant came in to report that Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui had arrived, saying that there were 100,000 urgent things to see.

On the whole, Chairman Chiang's mood was basically okay for a while, naturally because the overall war situation was much better than he had expected.

Before, he had always been pessimistic about the war between China and China, because the national strength of the two countries was there, but now it seems that the situation is far from being as bad as expected, not only is there no danger of losing the country, although the book occupies Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, but whether it can stand in the end is not certain.

If he really wants to gain a foothold in Shanghai, he must open up Jinpu Road, and if he can't get through Jinpu Road, then he won't stay in Shanghai for long.

Even if I open up Jinpu Road, it is almost impossible to keep Jinpu Road open. As for the other major artery, Pinghan Road, he said that no matter how good he is, he can't do anything. Although the Black God Army is hateful, the Black God Army plays a really big role.

Therefore, in this situation, the southwest inland is absolutely as stable as Mount Tai, and he is simply unable to attack.

picked up a napkin and wiped his lips, and then, Chiang Kai-shek said to Song Meiling: "Madam, use it slowly." ”

Song Meiling said: "Darling, I've eaten too." ”

Wang Chonghui is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Wang Chonghui must have something to do with diplomatic matters, and Song Meiling has always been extremely interested in diplomacy.

The couple stood up and walked towards the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, Chiang Kai-shek's heart chuckled, because Wang Chonghui's face was pale, and his forehead and sideburns were full of cold sweat.

Wang Chonghui is a very personable university scholar, how can there ever be such a gaffe? Thinking of the words "100,000 urgent" again, Chiang Kai-shek's heart immediately pinched.

As soon as he saw Chiang Kai-shek come in, without waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to ask, Wang Chonghui immediately said: "Commission, it's not good!" ”

After stabilizing his mind, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Don't worry, Liang Chou, sit down and speak slowly." ”

also knew that he was anxious, and after sitting down, Wang Chonghui said: "Seat, more than an hour ago, the Black God Army raided the British Concession in Tianjin, killed more than 100 British soldiers, and arrested all the British nationals. ”

After Wang Chonghui finished speaking, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling's faces turned white all of a sudden.
