At the beginning, Jiang Zhongzheng just thought that the tiger was alarmist, but he was completely stupid after he really received the telegram from Fuzhou!

The Japanese attacked Fujian directly?! For a while, Jiang Zhongzheng actually had a feeling of helplessness, and from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Zhongzheng did not want to fight with the Japanese now. It can even be said that Jiang Zhongzheng is unwilling to fight the Japanese.

During his service in Japan, Jiang Zhongzheng was afraid of Japan from the bottom of his heart. Japan's industrial capacity, the decisive spirit of the Japanese army...... and so on, which deeply affected Jiang Zhongzheng.

If it is said that "if you want to go outside, you must first settle the inside" is Jiang Zhongzheng's words, then when the red army was defeated, Henan Provincial Chairman Liu Zhi announced that "the government must first settle the inside before the outside world, which was the original plan of the government, and now that the red bandits have been eliminated and the country has been stabilized, that is, the government's original plan has been half successful!" ”

However, after that, although Jiang Zhongzheng believed that "war can never be avoided with the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, and after the Japanese invaders did not expect to provoke, when there is no peace, either we will die or the other will die." ”

But he hopes to postpone such a showdown, "we must not forget the preparation for sacrifice, and we must not give up the purpose of enduring the pain for a while." In the same week's "Reflections of the Week", he expressed his determination to be ready to sacrifice, and "held his will not to be angry, and although he was ready to sacrifice to the Japanese, he still did not forget the policy of peace and waiting for the time, and this heart finally felt that the Japanese would be subdued by Yu and would not dare to be the enemy of Yu." ”

Here, in fact, we can see the contradiction in Jiang Zhongzheng's heart. He said he was not a nationalist, but he did hate the Japanese to the core. But if he was determined to do something, he did hesitate to back down.

The reason for this is his extreme lack of self-confidence. Or a kind of self-confidence that most people in that era lacked, and this lack of self-confidence led to his hesitation. In the end, the Japanese army was allowed to rampage.

He has the heart to fight, but he is worried that he will not be able to fight. The most prominent manifestation of this hesitation was the Second Battle of Songhu. Zhang Zhizhong later recalled: "As for the failure to occupy Shanghai once, the high command lost the opportunity first, and told me to stop the attack three times. ”

First, the fighter plane was delayed, and then Li Zongren believed that "the undefended triangle of Songhu is not suitable for stubborn defense." In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, our army's operations in Shanghai should be stopped in moderation." Jiang Zhongzheng insisted on sticking to it again.

Moreover, when the battle was extremely difficult, and "our army had become the end of a strong crossbow and urgently needed to retreat", he still "solemnly issued orders." Those who dare to retreat without authorization will be subject to military law", thus losing the best opportunity for strategic retreat. In the end, the squadron withdrew from the whole line, causing unnecessary sacrifices.

From a fair point of view, Jiang Zhongzheng did have the heart to resist Japan. However, too much hope is placed on diplomatic channels and on the intervention of other countries. He was proud to win for himself. And there is not the slightest bit of self-confidence.

And what he lacks is what Yang Ziren has. Even in the most difficult times, Yang Ziren did not lose his self-confidence. This kind of self-confidence, optimism, and perseverance may be one of the reasons why Yang Ziren was finally able to build the self-confidence of the Chinese people of that era in North Korea in one fell swoop.

Later generations shouted about crowd tactics, but in fact it was rare to see an entire regiment attacking directly on the Korean battlefield. According to the records of the U.S. military, the tactics of the Volunteer Army at that time were "infiltration, interspersing, division and encirclement of small forces, and finally encirclement and annihilation."

Attack at multiple points of the enemy's position, directly break the position and divide and encircle. The company and battalion levels were interspersed with infiltration, directly hitting the rear of the enemy, dividing and encircling and encircling them.

This was the real tactic of the volunteer army in the war at that time. Those who are clamoring about crowd tactics don't even know what war is. Of course, there are some people who pretend to be confused.

In May 1936, Chiang received a telegram from Fuzhou. The telegram said that a large number of Japanese troops had landed from Zhanggang and attacked our town. At that time, the small forces left behind in the red and the security forces jointly resisted.

However, the situation is critical! He also asked the chairman of the NPC committee to make an early judgment on the strength of Fujian's armed forces, and to follow the chairman to suppress bandits. The remaining troops are mostly security forces, and if the Japanese army attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!

After pondering for a while with the telegram, Jiang Zhongzheng called Nanjing. The Nanjing side was asked to communicate with Japan immediately, and the government strongly protested against the Japanese army's attack on Fujian.

and demanded an explanation, while contacting the League of Nations to punish Japan.

Subsequently, Jiang Zhongzheng called Fuzhou: The war should not be started lightly. However, if the Japanese invaders run rampant, they will be dealt with head-on! The government will do its best to help, and all the troops left behind can be concentrated! Strike at Japan!

At this time, Jiang Zhongzheng's confidant Zhang Qun had returned to Nanjing to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He personally led a team to Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese ambassador to Nanjing at the time.

Shigeru Kawagoe, who saw Zhang Qun, was obviously a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know these actions of the military department at all. After the last incident, it can be said that the whole of Japan has been completely controlled by the unification faction!

What they are going to do, only the military department knows. And these civilians are largely excluded. It is even sacrificed from time to time!

However, Shigeru Kawagoe did not feel embarrassed for long. The Tokyo side sent a telegram asking him to tell the Nanjing side that because the Red Army was inciting a riot in the Taiwan region, the Imperial Japanese Army had decided to go to Fujian to suppress the Red Army!

Holding this telegram, Shigeru Kawagoe couldn't cry or laugh! This kind of terrible excuse can only be thought of by those staff officers of the military department, and everyone can see what kind of simple bandit is here?!

Thousands of Japanese troops directly carried out landing operations, and this was already a clear war!

But he didn't have any right to speak, so he could only hand over the telegram directly to Zhang Qun and then remain silent. Zhang Qun also knew that Shigeru Kawagoe actually did not have any rights.

Therefore, he could only take this report and reply to the government and Jiang Zhongzheng. got the so-called "explanation" of the Japanese Jiang Zhongzheng's diary with a few more "shames", and then ordered the troops in Fuzhou.

"We must not easily clash with the Japanese army, and if we encounter it, we can retreat. However, we must not lose the prestige of our country, and we must suppress bandits. If you use troops against Fuzhou and other cities, you should resolutely resist! ”

Chen Yi, chairman of Fujian Province and director of appeasement, couldn't help but smile bitterly, Jiang Zhongzheng, what you said is so simple! But how can I stop thousands or even tens of thousands of Japanese troops?! What should I do if someone wants to attack me?!

Now the whole of Fujian is in a mess, although the big warlords have been pulled away by Jiang Zhongzheng in the name of suppressing bandits. But the small warlords are everywhere, and the kings of the mountains occupy several county seats...... And so on!

"Assault!!" The Japanese wing commander in Zhanggang roared angrily at the soldiers under his command, but saw those soldiers killing the small village outside the woods in the morning light!

On the beach behind them, hundreds of landing craft rushed onto the shore! Countless Japanese soldiers rushed off the boat and rushed towards the beach and groves!

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh......" On several hills, countless 107 roars exploded again! The rockets dragged the tail flames one after another and pounced on the Japanese soldiers who had just rushed down from the landing craft!

"Boom! Rumble!! Boom ......" The roar of an explosion suddenly exploded, and the landing craft and the Japanese soldiers who had just disembarked suddenly turned on their backs!

The bombed, jumble of landing craft parts and stumps combined with the shattered internal organs, stained the entire coast red against the backdrop of blood! The characteristic of 107 is that it is a covering shot, and under this blow, hundreds of Japanese soldiers who have just disembarked from the ship are suddenly turned into minced meat all over the coast!

Even the landing craft that carried them to land were bombed to pieces!

"Red deer!! Bombarding the position where the cannon was fired just now!! Matsuda, who was on the warship in the rear, was stunned, and shouted angrily at the adjutant beside him: "Let the fighters and bombers take off immediately!" Destroy all the counterattack power of the Shina pig!! ”

"Hail!!" The adjutant didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried down to deliver the order! After a while, several planes on three battleships took off in front of the deck! Rush towards the mountains and forests and the Zhuangzi!

But the Wehrmacht veterans on the hill are not idiots, where will they wait for them to come and arrest themselves?! After a meal of 107, they divided 107 by two, and then disassembled 107 into a pile of parts. Tie up the war horse and go down the mountain.

For the practices of these Wehrmacht, Matsuda and others gritted their teeth with hatred! However, it is helpless that Fujian has many dense forests, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find out the threat from so many mountains and crack down!

"Matsuda-kun! Let's take that village first! Hirose Shousuke was calmer than Matsuda, but he saw him change his words to Matsuda: "No matter what these people do, they can't stop us!" Let my soldiers go ashore first, Ruoshan-kun is still waiting for your return voyage in Keelung......"

Matsuda Tetsu nodded with a blushing face, and then ordered the ship to send everyone ashore as soon as possible. At the same time, the aircraft was ordered to strengthen surveillance and attack as soon as it found a disturbance!

The war in Fujian is in full swing, and this chaotic battle naturally cannot be concealed. It was only at eight o'clock in the morning that the entire Republic of China knew about the Japanese invasion of Fujian!

For a while, the crowd was furious, and countless people took to the streets to protest again! Demand that the Nanjing government immediately resist Japan!

However, the response of the Nanjing government was: This is a friendly country to assist in suppressing bandits, although there is friction, but it is the cooperation of the government! The diplomatic process is already under way, and all sectors are requested to maintain order......

Subsequently, a telegram was sent to the military and political authorities in various localities: "There are bandits in various localities who have destroyed organs, blocked traffic, beaten up the Central Committee, stopped cars, attacked passers-by and public officials, and arrested and tortured people, and social order has been destroyed!" Friendly people, inexplicably surprised, in the long run, the country will not be a country! ”

"Yes, on the orders of the Executive Yuan, all localities should be cautious to stop it! Make no mistake! Violators will be punished for dereliction of duty! ”

However, with the explanation of the Japanese, another telegram directly shocked everyone's jaws!

The governments of the three eastern provinces telegraphed the whole country: Recently, the pet dog of Tu Qianjun, commander-in-chief of the national defense forces of the three eastern provinces, was lost on the North Korean border, and the commander-in-chief was extremely angry when he thought that the North Koreans like to eat dog meat!

Therefore, in order to eradicate the thief dog eaters, the commander-in-chief should personally lead a large army to go! At the same time, assist the Japanese army to exterminate the rebels of the "Korean Patriotic Party"! Don't be unpredictable, hereby energized!

As soon as this news came out, everyone was stunned! Boy! The tiger's backhand slap was really violent...... (To be continued)
