Chapter 1350 The East Wind Fights and Drums

On August 8, the 26th year of the Republic of China, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the special care ward of Nanjing General Hospital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Supporting An Yi to sit at the head of the bed, Feng Jieyun consciously retreated, and there were three cadres in the ward, Yin Jinan, Yang Fei, and Qu Muchen. After listening to Shen Fengdao's situation report, An Yi groaned:

"The situation in North China is rapidly eroding, and the good situation is lost in a blink of an eye, and there is no news from Hu Zi and Brother Chengzhu...... Ye Cheng's new Second Army could not rush to North China in time...... Alas, let's talk about it! ”

Yang Fei has been in the intelligence department for many years, and he knows far more about the things in the An Jiajun system than ordinary people, so he comforted: "Commander, beards are not so easy to get into trouble, even if they can't break out of the encirclement, they can escape into the mountains of Jixi to fight guerrillas." All units of our Anjia Army have received special training in mountain warfare, and their will to fight is far from being comparable to that of other armies, and it is not so easy to collapse. ”

Yin Jinan also said: "Yes, big brother, we have been partnering with Beard for so many years, don't we know what he is?" It must be that the war is urgent, and he doesn't have time to brief us on the situation, and when the situation relaxes, he will call us. ”

An Yi shook his head: "Don't comfort me, I made a rough estimate in my heart, to launch such a big offensive in the eastern Hebei and Pingjin areas at the same time, the Japanese army had to mobilize at least fifteen or sixteen divisions, and the encirclement of beard was no less than five divisions." That's right, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the 17th Army is stronger than that of the devils, but that is in a normal state, and now the 17th Army has successively broken the defense of the two main divisions of the Japanese army after continuous forced marches, and then dug fortifications overnight, and then insisted on nearly 20 hours of non-stop fighting, the officers and men have long been exhausted, and I will say God bless if they can exert seventy percent of their combat strength on weekdays. What are the consequences of engaging the enemy in such a situation, we all know in our hearts......"

Speaking of this, An Yi's eyes turned red: "Originally, I thought I would go in front of them, but now I am unable to do anything about it when I see my brother approaching danger with my own eyes, I feel distressed!" ”

Qu Muchen said: "Judging from the time when the last news came from the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, the battle should now take place on the front line at the western foot of Panshan Mountain. Our reconnaissance plane has already taken off from the Baoding airfield, and concrete news will come soon. ”

"No matter what, *** people murdered me first, plotted against my brother later, this revenge is not avenged, how can it be a person? Moreover, now that Japanese fighters are gathering in North China, it is a good time to deter *** people by thunderous means. I decided to carry out air strikes on Taiwan, the Ryukyus, the mainland, North Korea and other places, what do you think? An Yi asked for advice.

"Good!"

Yang Fei took the lead in stating: "Since 918, the flames of war have been burning on Chinese territory, and now it is time for *** people to taste the taste of war." Commander, give the order! ”

"But—"

Qu Muchen hesitated a little: "Commander, this matter is very important, do you want to ask the Military Committee and Chairman Jiang?" ”

Yin Jinan thought further: "Big brother, now that international relations are complicated, will our air raids cause the situation to get out of control?" The positions of Britain, the United States, and other countries are already vacillating and ambiguous, will the air raids bring bad consequences to our country? ”

"Only *** people are allowed to set fires, so aren't we allowed to light the lights?"

An Yi smiled coldly: "Looking ahead, you can't do anything." Lao Shen, has the Air Second Regiment settled in Hangzhou Airport? ”

Shen Fengdao nodded: "All the departments of the Air Force have all been in place, and General Huang Yuyi of the Air Force said that the officers and men of the Air Force will resolutely carry out the orders of the commander." ”

"Okay, I'll make the decision on this matter, Old Shen, record my orders......"

"Yes!"

"Under the escort of the fighter squadron, the two bomber squadrons of the 2nd Air Regiment immediately took off to bomb Taiwan's military airports, barracks, and colonial government buildings, striking at the Japanese army's will to fight and destroying its air combat capability; The strategic bomber squadron stationed at Bengbu Airport all carried napalm bombs to bomb military airfields in Ryukyu, North Korea, and Kyushu respectively. Finally, please Uncle Dao and Mr. Jiang to quickly draft a declaration to ask for Japan, and after completion, it will be broadcast uninterrupted on various sets of programs on Syria Radio, and tell me about the incident of the crash caused by the shameless sneak attack of the *** Air Force, just say what I An Yi said, I am waiting for the next conspiracy and calculation of Xiao ***, as long as I An Yi still exists, I vow to fight the Japanese invaders to the end! ”

Shen Fengdao quickly finished recording and turned to leave.

Seeing Yin Jinan and Qu Muchen's worried looks, Yang Fei comforted: "Now the *** people will do things first, let's just learn from the same, don't be afraid." Besides, the worst is just the way it is now, so what else? ”

Yin Jinan and Qu Muchen glanced at each other and nodded silently.

An Yi looked at the expressions of the two of them and sighed: "I know what you are worried about, but even if we don't take the initiative, will Britain and the United States and other countries come forward to stop the invasion?" Can we in China receive selfless assistance from European and American countries? Can we change the fate of *** using its world's third-ranked fleet to continuously obtain the world's resources, while we can only rely on our own self-reliance?

"No, nothing! The only thing we can do is to use our practical actions to warn *** people that rabbits are in a hurry to bite, war is a fight for life and death, and the people of *** are also the same as the Chinese who have been bullied by war, and they may enjoy the bomb greetings sent by China at any time, and at the same time, it also shows our courage and determination to fight to the end without compromise. ”

Yin Jinan and Qu Muchen were shocked, and they responded in unison, all the hesitations disappeared in an instant, and some were just impassioned and tragic feelings of vowing to serve the country.

At this time, Liu Qing, the director of An Yi's intelligence department, walked into the ward quickly, and when he saw An Yi, his eyes turned red, and tears welled up all of a sudden, An Yi smiled and shook his head: "Isn't this good for me, what kind of cat urine is shed, let Ji Nan and them laugh at you...... By the way, is that done? ”

Liu Qing smiled embarrassedly at Yin Jinan and the others, wiped away his tears, and strode to the hospital bed: "The Jade King Tie Million and his jewelry and jade antiques worth tens of millions of silver dollars were all safely transferred to the Syrian Mansion, and the Iron Million generously donated two million oceans to the Pacification Office, which was rejected by us, and he immediately used the money to buy food to help the government for disaster relief, and the Office has awarded him the title of 'Model Citizen of Syria'." ”

An Yi turned his head and saw Yin Jinan's inexplicable expressions, and instructed Liu Qing: "You tell them a few things about it, so that they don't have to be in the clouds." ”

Liu Qing nodded, and immediately brought about the work he had been responsible for during this time.

It turns out that this iron million surnamed iron name Guangshan, the word Baoting, is a well-deserved world-class jewelry and antique supergiant in China, and "Jade King Iron Million" is the nickname given to him by Chinese and foreign businessmen nowadays. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tie Guangshan opened the "Deyuanxing Jewelry Store" in the front door porch room Ertiao, and worked hard day after day, and cultivated a pair of "discerning eyes" and extremely superb business acumen to identify jewelry and antiques. Many foreigners also come here to buy jewelry, and some have become friends in the business field. He has been invited by countries such as Europe and the United States to participate in international fairs such as Paris and Chicago with precious collections and exquisite jade carvings and other artworks that he personally supervised, which has repeatedly caused sensations and business has become more and more prosperous.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Puyi, the abdicated Qing emperor, could not make ends meet, so he used a large number of palace jewels as collateral to borrow from Citigroup and HSBC. Because of the inability to repay the loan when due, the mortgaged jewelry became a "dead pawn". Citigroup and HSBC did not understand the true value of these jewels, so in order to recover the principal and interest in time, they hired Tiebaoting as an authoritative appraiser for sale. Tiebao Pavilion not only has a reasonable price, but has won the trust of the bank, when he learned that the best businessmen want to rush to buy this batch of national treasures, he tried his best to ask Ma Hongkui, who served as Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong's attendant military attaché, to raise a huge amount of money, and contact many jewelry and antique giants in Beijing to jointly purchase this batch of palace treasures, and try not to make it outflow. Inspired by this, Tie Guangshan gradually changed his business policy, vigorously valued jewelry and antiques (even if they are transferred, they are only for domestic *** families), and even tried to recover the antique treasures that have been bought by foreigners at any cost, stopping the outflow of some national treasures. Foreign businessmen are both surprised and admired by this; The external sales are based on self-purchased raw materials, personal planning and guidance processing, and many exquisite jewelry and large jade carving products have been produced, and the sales are becoming increasingly vigorous, becoming the world-famous jade king.

Tiebaoting is willing to be indifferent, clean and self-conscious, and lives a simple life, which is simply "picking the door" to get home. Although there are electric lights, at night they light kerosene lamps except for the children doing their homework. He eats the same meals as the staff at the shop every day, mostly bringing a pot of broth or boiled cabbage from the deli shop at the "Yuesheng Zhai". He never smoked, did not drink, did not watch plays, and did not even drink tea, let alone be contaminated with lust and the like. He never walked in a car when he went out to do business, and rarely took a car. When he was thirsty when he walked in summer, there were some people selling popsicles and sour plum soup on the side of the road, but he never bought them, as long as he found a well nest to beg for a scoop of cold water to pour into his stomach. When he went to other places to do business, although he had a lot of money, in addition to the necessary entertainment, he often brought a small jar of fried sauce and mixed it with clear water noodles boiled on two copper plates. However, he was very generous in his philanthropy, building and sponsoring four primary schools and two secondary schools, and giving to the poor and small traders all year round. Therefore, at the same time, he left people with the reputation of "Iron Great Good Man".

After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Tiebaoting was worried that the treasured national treasure-level cultural relics would fall into the hands of the best people, so he deposited the treasures worth tens of millions of oceans into the vaults of several foreign banks in Beiping. One of the treasure hiding places is the backyard warehouse of the Russian Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank located in Dongjiaomin Lane. This bank warehouse is located on the inner side of Shuncheng Street under the city wall at the south end of the east exit of Dongjiaomin Lane, with a total of 5 large south rooms, and 2 warehouses rented by 3 jewelry stores. Among them, the Deyuanxing jewelry store and the Baoquan jewelry store in Langfang 2 Jo share a large house in the middle. Another gold bead jewellery shop in Juyuan Building rented a large house to the west. Because the warehouse is adjacent to the city wall in the south and the U.S. Army food depot in the north, the high fence is installed with barbed wire.

Chen Yanshou, Li Guangsui and a group of traitors who had coveted these jewels for a long time took advantage of the chaos of public order in Beiping to secretly climb the southern city wall to secretly spy on them, and found that the backyard warehouse rented by Tiebaoting seemed to be airtight on the surface, but in fact there were many loopholes. In particular, the U.S. Army Food Depot in China, which is adjacent to it in the north of the courtyard, is only separated by a wall from the Daosheng Bank warehouse. The walls there are not very high. In one side of the wall of the US military warehouse, there is a high grain stack, and it is still possible to climb over the partition wall from the top of the grain stack and enter the Daosheng warehouse. Moreover, the defense of the US Army food warehouse is relatively lax, especially for the entry and exit of beautiful people and blonde foreigners in military uniforms, almost without defense. This is the "soft underbelly" that is very easy to break through in the warehouse defense of Daosheng Bank, and if you can collude with foreigners, it is possible to take advantage of the weakness. They were constantly thinking about the idea in their minds, and they agreed that in order to succeed in robbing the jewels in the warehouse of Daosheng Bank, they had to cooperate with foreigners.

As a result, this gang of gangsters accidentally contacted two Belarusian nobles who had obtained American citizenship to negotiate business in Beiping, hoping to join forces to do this business, and these two Belarusians, naturally intelligence officers of the An Jiajun, easily obtained this top-secret information.

After An Yi received the report, he appointed Liu Qing, the director of the intelligence department who was still in Nanjing at the time, to take full responsibility for handling the matter.

After Liu Qing contacted two White Russian intelligence officers, he quickly rushed to Tiebaoting Mansion and mobilized him to take these treasures south to Syria to preserve this precious cultural wealth for the country and the nation, but Tiebaoting, who was wary of the warlord, politely declined Liu Qing's kindness.

Liu Qing was not discouraged and paid close attention to the development of the situation. After the gangsters contacted more than a dozen Europeans and Americans, they were emboldened and cooperated to loot the treasures stored in the backyard warehouse of the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, and on the way to escape from the embassy area, they were captured by Liu Qing and his troops. Tie Baoting personally participated in the interrogation of the gangsters, and when he knew that these gangsters wanted to use this batch of jewelry and jade to become a person to win wealth and glory, he was greatly touched, and finally made up his mind to go to the inland Syria with the jewelry.

Tiebaoting's influence was extremely huge, and the antique dealers in Beiping found Liu Qing after learning the truth of the matter, and they all asked to go south under the protection of An Jiajun, so Liu Qing stayed for a while longer, and it was not until he returned to Nanjing that he knew the news that An Yi was seriously injured and hospitalized, and immediately rushed to converge.

"Well done!"

An Yi praised: "Liu Qing, you have gained a lot this time, and the timing is just right, if it is a few days at night, this Beiping City will be occupied by the little devils, and when the time comes, these antique jades will have to be filled into the pockets of *** people, and after a few years, you can't even find a ghost shadow, who will you call for injustice?" ”

Yin Jinan said: "Yes, the devil's attack is too fierce, from eastern Hebei to Beiping, in just three or four days, it swept most of Hebei, especially this wave of offensive launched last night, which won the essence of blitzkrieg, I suspect that there are extremely clever tactical masters in the Japanese army." ”

"After unremitting efforts, our spy personnel finally obtained the number of the main divisions and regiments of the Japanese army in North China and the directory of their commanders." With a deep voice, Du Yi, the intelligence leader of southern Sichuan, walked into the ward, and after casting a concerned glance at An Yi, he continued:

"The commander of the Japanese North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, was born in a hereditary aristocratic family of great prestige and power in Yamaguchi Prefecture. His father, Count Masayi Terauchi, was the founder of the Meiji era, and served as the director of education, the prime minister of the land, the governor of Korea, and the prime minister. Since Terauchi Shouichi joined the army, he has a complete service resume, and he has a cheerful and open-minded personality, and has the courage to take responsibility for his subordinates, and became the Minister of War after the 226 Mutiny last year. After he took office, he purged the imperial faction, reformed the system, and formulated a plan to invade China through the northeast. In February of this year, he was reappointed as the Army's director of education, and when the war situation in North China was unfavorable, he was urgently appointed commander of the North China Front.

"Major General Ishihara, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, is familiar with this family, and is the culprit who created the 918 Incident. Originally, he resolutely opposed the war against China, so he was dismissed from the post of the first director of the General Staff Department, but seeing that the Japanese army in North China had been defeated in successive battles, and if it continued like this, it might not even be able to protect the northeast, so he took the initiative to ask for war and was appointed as the chief of staff of the front army by the Japanese emperor. ”

Everyone nodded again and again after hearing this, and Yin Jinan couldn't wait to ask: "Do you know how many divisions and regiments the Japanese army has invested in North China?" ”

Du Yi nodded: "The Japanese army has invested seventeen divisions in North China, if you add the Chahar Front Army with the Kwantung Army as the main body, the Japanese army is just a regular division, and it has invested twenty-two, plus ten *** mixed brigades, and a supplementary brigade composed of up to more than 100,000 soldiers in the township, the Japanese army has almost invested nearly 600,000 troops in North China." ”

When everyone heard this, they gasped, An Yi's face turned pale, and he muttered: "The beard is dangerous, the beard is dangerous......
