"The territory is sacred and noble, it is the shell of a nation and a country, the body is not there, the soul is not there, today's invasion of China, hurting the shell of China, the Nanjing government is vainly trying to intervene in the foreign powers, it is a great joke to slip the world, throughout the history of China, the great powers and the Japanese are the same hill, if there is no benefit, there is absolutely no possibility of helping our country.

The independence of a country lies in the independence of its own spirit, in the spirit of unremitting self-improvement, in a unified government, and in the fact that it cannot ask for charity from others or look at people's faces.

The Japanese invaders invaded our territory, and our country could only protest and did not dare to fight, which is cowardice. At the end, Nanjing's actions this time have lost the face of the Chinese.

Lin Huiyin's article was published on the declaration and was reprinted by newspapers in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Wuhan, and people were deeply disappointed by the actions of the Chiang Kai-shek government.

At the same time, the Xinhua News Agency also published an article entitled "The West Has No Possibility of Supporting China," in which Mao analyzed the attitudes of various countries and the problems they faced.

The war ahead was not going well, Chiang Kai-shek's mood was already very bad, and he also realized that it was probably wrong for him to transfer Liu Yuan, but he also thought again, "If Liu Yuan leads his most elite troops for a long time, plus the troops of the Southwest Special Region, if he wants a coup d'état and seizes his position, who can resist him, he has no ambition now, so what about the future?" Moreover, before the war was won, he repeatedly opposed himself, so Chiang Kai-shek decided to beat Liu Yuan once no matter what.

Song Meiling held the coffee in her hand, put it on Chiang Kai-shek's table, put the newspaper away for Chiang Kai-shek, and said, "Those literati don't do anything practical except scolding, so they don't need to be angry with them." ”

"Literati! Lin Huiyin is a disciple of Liu Yuan, will his article represent Liu Yuan's attitude, and whether Liu Yuan is expressing his dissatisfaction with me. Chiang Kai-shek said with annoyance.

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek with his brows tightly locked, Song Meiling couldn't help but wonder, "Darling, why get angry with a little girl, rumors are out, people want to say that you Chairman Jiang has no bearing, what kind of person is Liu Yuan, if he is not satisfied, he would have come to you a long time ago, I think he has nothing to disagree with if he leaves Shanghai, after all, Shanghai is a big pit, it is good to let him leave one step earlier." ”

The battle in Shanghai did turn to defense, Chiang Kai-shek also knew that the great powers of various countries would not really contribute, he did this, in fact, he also hoped to put pressure on the Japanese, hoping to make the situation better, he wanted to personally command the troops, but Chiang Kai-shek himself also understood that let him command a force of 100,000 people, that was his limit, a million army, that required Han Xin's general talent, there were several Han Xin, this is a self-evident thing.

The war is getting more and more difficult, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong are not able to get the front line to command the battle, Zhang Zhizhong personally arranged the defense line in Suzhou Creek to boost morale, but in this way, the Japanese army is still in the support of naval guns and aircraft He took Wusong, and then the troops were divided into three ways, and launched an attack on Dachang, Luodian and Baoshan, Chen Cheng was very annoyed, a moment ago he still taught the Japanese a lesson, how did he change so quickly, so Chen Cheng personally commanded the troops to resist desperately, although Luodian and Dachang did not have an urban area, but the loss was too great, When a regiment of troops is pulled into the battlefield, it has to be withdrawn after a day's work, and it is a miracle that there are only a hundred people left.

The war in the north also began to get worse, the Japanese army first conquered Datong, and then Shijiazhuang was occupied by the Japanese army, Tang Enbo was indeed very capable of fighting, but Tojo Hideki was not a general, he Fu Zuoyi's defense line broke through, occupied Zhangjiakou, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Tang Enbo to fight to the death, but Tang Enbo and Tojo Hideki fought hard for half a month, he was not as good as Tojo in command, and he lost more than two-thirds of the troops under the disadvantage of weapons and training.

Although Chiang Kai-shek no longer led troops on the front line, Chiang Kai-shek knew how much his attitude had an impact on the front-line soldiers, so no matter how bad the war was, he cheered up, and even sometimes played a game of basketball with government workers to show that he was in good physical condition like a citizen.

There are two chiefs of staff in the Republic of China, one is Liu Yuan, the other is Bai Chongxi, Liu Yuan is seriously ill, it is impossible to be by his side all the time, but Bai Chongxi is not like this, one is that he does not have many heavy soldiers, and the other is that two people have cooperated, when the Northern Expedition was in place, the two of them were partners, this time Bai Chongxi partnered with himself again, Chiang Kai-shek thought that this was a very good thing.

Lin Wei stood aside, speaking at a medium speed and in a flat tone, "The battle situation in North China is very grim, the Japanese army has concentrated eight divisions and four artillery brigades, and the chief of staff Liu Yuan sent a telegram, he thinks that the next goal of the Japanese army is Baoding, and the intention is to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

Baoding, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it, the troops there, there are Song Zheyuan's defeated soldiers, although he has been cultivating, but he doesn't know whether the 29th Army still has combat effectiveness, Chen Mingren's 52nd Army and 37th Army combat effectiveness is okay, Sun Dianying Although they have the supplement of central weapons, whether they can be regarded as regular troops are all in Chiang Kai-shek's hesitation.

"Yan Xishan's battle is unfavorable, he has retreated to the Great Wall, and General Wei Lihuang has gone to Taiyuan to assist him in defending." Lin Wei continued.

I discussed this with Liu Yuan, and he meant, "Since the form has reached this point, then there is no point in fighting for Baoding, we mean to use the topography of Shanxi to defend, and at the same time, we can also use the strength of the Red Party." Bai Chongxi saw Chiang Kai-shek looking at him, so he told Chiang Kai-shek the results of the discussions between Liu Yuan and himself in advance.

Chiang Kai-shek was in a bad mood, but he pretended to be calm and did not continue to discuss the affairs of North China, but asked, "What about Liu Yuan's 33rd Army?" ”

"The 33rd Group Army has come quite quickly, and it is currently on the front line of the Qinling Mountains, but heavy artillery weapons, tanks, and cars cannot be transported to Lu, and it is difficult to go to Shu Road, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky." Lin Wei felt good about Liu Yuan, so he covered for Liu Yuan.

"Hmph, Du Yuming, they came by boat, but didn't they also stop in Wuhan? There is no obstruction from Shu Dao, I don't know what our chief of staff is thinking about it. Bai Chongxi sneered.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said, "Du Yuming, he told me that they need to wait for follow-up supplies and heavy weapons, so, Jingzhi, you tell him that his teacher and I are not having a good time here, you tell him to hurry up." ”

Du Yuming They obeyed Liu Yuan's arrangement when they arrived in Wuhan, and did not move forward, He Yingqin wanted to transfer their troops to the front line in the name of Chiang Kai-shek, but Du Yuming refused, there is already a division on the battlefield, and the other troops are indeed difficult to mobilize, the reason is very unreliable, our heavy weapons have not arrived, and it is not as good as the local defense troops to fight, I hope the principal can wait.
