Chapter 750: The Battle of Wuhan (I)

The meeting in Wuhan lasted one night, and Jiang Zhongzheng, Yang Yongtai, Chen Bui, and others who were present were drinking tea with their heads bored, and none of them could come up with a feasible solution.

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the gods have no power to return to the sky. They all know what to do to bring the government back to life, but the problem is that they can't do it.

For example, when purchasing weapons, now that the coast is basically occupied, you can't bring them back even if you purchase them. For example, we all know that corruption is rampant in the national government, but many people here are not clean themselves.

If you really do it, the entire government will collapse before Rì himself calls. Even in the three eastern provinces, before purging those officials, they had to prepare for a long time and train a large number of replacement officials.

I just started it, but now?! First of all, the government can't find so many people to replace, and secondly, once it is investigated, the first person to clean up is the people around Jiang Zhongzheng.

It's basically digging up the roots, and it's impossible to do that. But what else can you do if you don't?! At the beginning of the reform, the effect was not visible.

However, after several years of development, the three eastern provinces have completely risen and surpassed the national capital in one fell swoop. Sometimes Jiang Zhongzheng can't help but feel envious when he sees the development of the three eastern provinces, if he can have those industries, why should he be afraid of rì originally?!

But Jiang Zhongzheng himself knows that this is just a fool's dream, and most of the officials in the national government, starting with him, and most of the officials below are adhering to it: it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy.

Jiang Zhongzheng thinks this way in order to save money. And the people below think this because there is a lot of space for cāo. Among them, you can make a lot of money by passing through the money!

This has formed an unspoken rule of the entire government from top to bottom, no matter what kind of materials they have, as long as they don't scrape a layer of oil when they get it, they won't stop.

It's better to eat an empty salary, and the military rations and salaries with black hearts will not be paid! All of them are resold on the black market, which often happens within the national government. It's normal to not get paid for a month or two.

The soldiers below had no food or drink, so they could only grab it. After the robbery, their reputation is naturally not good. So as long as they pass by, there are basically only two left--war disasters.

"A first-class soldier, a second-rate officer, a third-rate commander, and a last-rate commander." Joseph. Stilwell's words can be said to be three points to the bone, and it is no wonder that Jiang Zhongzheng hates this general to the core.

Joseph doesn't understand Chinese culture, the so-called: don't hit people in the face, scold people don't expose their shortcomings. You are slapping your face and exposing your shortcomings, how can you make Jiang Zhongzheng not hate you to the bone?!

However, Joseph was indeed angry and had no choice, and the people in the government basically took money to be pioneers, fighting wars and grinding foreign workers.

Jiang Zhongzheng is only interested in American aid, and then how to send non-descendants to death. In the end, it is a constant siege and extermination of the red sè.

Historically, even in the most difficult time of the war against Rì, Jiang Zhongzheng still sent his confidant, Hu Zongnan, the head of the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Lixing Society and the Fuxing Society, and the "prince" of the Huangpu Department, to garrison Shaanxi with 400,000 troops to monitor the Red Sè.

Joseph was very dissatisfied with this, and he asked Jiang Zhongzheng to transfer dozens of divisions blockaded in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area to the battlefield of the war. Jiang Zhongzheng's reply was that "it is not allowed to transfer any troops from Shaanxi."

"Guilin is in danger. …… It's chaos. It goes without saying that all they think is to ask us for something. Sun Ke wants us to airlift American troops. Others asked for weapons. What they really should do is to shoot the chairman and He Yingqin and the rest of the gang," Joseph wrote in his September 9, 1944 diary, which shows Joseph's resentment towards Chiang Chung-cheng.

And for the entire Nanjing State Government, Joseph gritted his teeth even more.

"In contrast to the heroic fighting of the Russians, the gang of murderers in power in China has only one thought, which is to keep themselves and their organization in rule forever. Money, power, and status are the only things leaders care about. yīn conspiracy, fraud, lying about the military situation, as long as they can get their hands on it, they will desperately make money. …… Cowards are in charge, corruption is rampant, smuggling and tax evasion, ignorance ....... ”

These are the words that Stilwell wrote in his own account in 1943 after watching a Soviet film called "A Day in the Battle". Stilwell was not without his efforts, and he wrote a very detailed letter of advice after coming into contact with local warlords and the Zhōngyāng army.

The proposal calls for the removal of unqualified generals, as well as guarantees of training and salaries...... Wait a minute. It's a pity that Jiang Zhongzheng didn't even look at it. Mrs. Jiang Zhongzheng read it patiently, and after reading it, the lady who had asked the United States to bomb her motherland with an atomic bomb told the truth.

"If you cut off all the heads, brains, and brains, there will be nothing left in the national government."

This is the real situation of the national government, and it is better to expect such a force to win the battle than to count on the mercy of Rì himself. In fact, Rì himself was merciful, at least in "The North China Public Security War", it was written that chóngqìng would not be destroyed, which became what Rì himself wanted to do in the later stage of the war.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the war criminal Okamura Ninji later became a guest of the state government, and it is no wonder that Tang Enbo first defended Okamura Ninji, the commander-in-chief of the Rì Army invading China, believing that he was innocent and a "friend of China". Then a military vehicle was organized to escort 259 war criminals including Okamura Ninji to the American steamer returning to Rìmoto.

Both sides will say goodbye in tears, knowing that they are in tune. The end is a reluctant attitude. Sure enough, "the grace and righteousness are unparalleled in the great country", this reward can be said to be dedicated.

Unfortunately, Rì himself doesn't have such thoughts now. Instead, he was determined to completely kill Jiang Zhongzheng's government, and then let a more obedient person come up.

The person has been found, and now he has to let Jiang Zhongzheng die quickly. Only when they die cleanly can they support their own people to come to power. Finally, it is a complete decisive battle with the Wehrmacht!

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! "In the early morning ......of March 6, 1938, there were bursts of rumbling cannons outside Wuhan!

The simple defense line arranged by the state government in Wuhan was bombed, and Jiang Zhongzheng and others, who were in a meeting, got up in shock! At this time, I saw a lieutenant colonel of the military commander rushing into the conference room with a pale face and said sadly to Jiang Zhongzheng.

"Oh no! We found a large number of rì troops on the outskirts of Wuhan, and now Wuhan ...... It's already surrounded! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the conference room! Aren't the troops of the Rì Army in Nanjing?! How could you come to Wuhan?! What kind of concept is it that can surround Wuhan?!

Could it be that the rì army will not be able to do magic and stealth techniques?! Thousands of miles came from afar, but no one was alarmed.

In fact, this kind of battle has not been done before, and the army has always had the practice of blitzkrieg. The British army that had been in Malay was attacked by Yamashita Blitz with a bicycle blitzkrieg tactics to occupy the entire Malay Peninsula in about 55 days, and at the same time captured 120,000 people with 30,000 people!

And in China, it hasn't been a day or two since Rìben operated. Countless seeds have been planted, and the General Staff Headquarters has already planned the route when the battle has been decided, and at the same time let the seeds from all over the country cooperate.

The army was prepared, but the state government was negligent in its defenses. They believed that the Rì army was at least safe on its own until it conquered Nanjing. Although it has gathered a large number of troops, it has not been arranged.

This gave the Rì army an opportunity, and they dispersed their troops and infiltrated the march from several directions at the same time, and finally penetrated into the command heart of the national capital - Wuhan!

"Buzzing ......" Fighter jets roared in the air, flying towards Wuhan! And Jiang Zhongzheng did not hesitate to order the fighters of the national government to take off immediately and take to the camp.

The entire city of Wuhan was screaming in the air defense newspapers, and various ministries and organs withdrew into the air raid shelters to take refuge. Jiang Zhongzheng and others also urgently hidden, and at the same time called all departments to immediately return to help break the encirclement of the Rì army.

Jiang Zhongzheng saw it very clearly, Rì himself came prepared this time! The purpose is to defeat and annihilate the national government and its sharp troops at once!

"! Dai Yunong!! What do you eat?! Rì himself has been killed in Wuhan, why don't you have any news at all?! Let you do intelligence, what kind of bullshit are you doing!! ”

In the air-raid shelter, Jiang Zhongzheng scolded Dai Li! Dai Li didn't dare to squeak, and bowed deeply to Jiang Zhongzheng and said softly: "What the principal blames is that Yunong acted inconsiderately and put the government in danger, and the crime is unforgivable!" Please also ask the principal to punish ......"

Seeing this, Yang Yongtai, who was on the side, persuaded Jiang Zhongzheng: "Chairman, you can't blame Yunong for this matter (23766)!" How long has Yunong's intelligence just been organized?! Rì himself has been lurking for many years, and must have had a lot of spies in private. ”

"During the Battle of Songhu, didn't we suffer this big loss?! They raised a group of people to lead the way and guide the fortifications. We've lost a lot of money for this......"

Jiang Zhongzheng's face was blue and he didn't squeak, he was too angry just now. As the head of the national government, he was surrounded like an iron bucket, and he was at risk of his life.

Jiang Zhongzheng is not angry to have a ghost, and after being silent for a while, Jiang Zhongzheng said to Dai Li: "Yunong, you go out first to see the situation." Tell them that the encirclement of Rì himself must be broken! Otherwise, the government is in danger! ”

Dai Lian said yes loudly, and then went down to send a report.

"Chirp...... Boom Boom ......Boom Boom "The fighters of the Chinese government in the sky and the fighters of the Rì Army fought together, and the bombers of the Rì Army who followed launched a bombing campaign against the pre-planned target!

The whole of Wuhan is a sea of fire! The streets were filled with screams, shouts and explosions. All the troops urgently entered the position and waited for the attacking rì army!

After more than half an hour of shelling and bombing, the sound of "Kerala ......" crawlers pressing the ground came from the front of the position! In the smoke of gunpowder, the tanks of the Rì Army launched an attack!

The Battle of Wuhan began in the unpreparedness of the national government and the sudden attack of the Rì army!
