"This man must have gone to school, and he is better than you and me." Wu Youhua's tone was very firm, and from the contact with Xia Yuan during this time, he could obviously feel that the feeling of contact with him was different from that of contact with Wang Sangou.

Wang Sangou has no culture, and when he talks about the country, he can't make a fart for a long time.

When it comes to the country, Xia Yuan's thoughts are the same as Hongdang's.

"This Xia is far more knowledgeable than your brother, I don't know if I went to school before, I chatted with him, basically everything we talked about can be answered, and he knows a lot of things I don't know."

Wu Youhua was quite emotional.

I didn't expect that the person next to Wang Sangou would be so simple.

"Do you want to check his details, I'm afraid my brother doesn't know about him either." Wang Cui was a little worried.

What they do, if they are not careful, will lose their heads.

Always be careful.

Wang Sangou brought back such a person, the conversation experience is not simple, and it is always good to take precautions in advance.

"You're worried about the people over there?" Wu Youhua groaned.

"Now is a special period, don't look at the unification of the anti-Japanese front, but Jiang Ke is not with us, and he is also forced to be helpless in the situation."

Being able to be a member of the Jinling Underground D, the insight is naturally not ordinary.

Wang Cui's ability to say such things is obviously unusual.

During this period of the bald head, although the all-out anti-Japanese resistance began, the arrest of Comrade D underground still did not stop.

As the highest position in the national government, the bald head knows very well that the Red Party is terrible, and the spark can start a prairie fire, not a joke.

As a large agricultural country, China has a very large peasant base, but anyone who understands some of the policies of the Red Party will know very well that once the Red Party is allowed to develop and ignore it, this flame can form a huge flame in a short period of time.

But at this moment, the bald head was forced by the helplessness of the situation, and could only temporarily form a united front with the Red Party.

This is also quite clear within the Red Party.

Wu Youhua looked at the ceiling, thought for a while, and said: "It's to check it well, and I'll mention it to the organization tomorrow, let them investigate Xia Yuan's details, if we can find out, we still need to be careful, if we can't find anything, we must be ready to do it at any time." ”

Wang Cui responded: "Actually, I think it's unlikely in my heart, if he really has an attempt, he won't show his conversation and experience, and he will definitely hide something." ”

After a pause, he said: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, I'm afraid that he is in order to paralyze us." ”

"Hmm."

The game of rock-paper-scissors is simple.

The difficulty is that once you have your mind, you have to guess what the other party wants to come up with, and you have to respond at any time, but you have to be careful that the other party guesses your response and responds again.

Generally.

Psychological warfare is always very important.

Xia Yuan didn't know that he had been targeted by his comrades in the underground, and his identity was very simple, an ordinary soldier of the national army, who had been in the newspaper and killed Japanese devils. The Battle of Songhu did not break out of the world, and was beaten miserably by the Japanese devils, and now I only want to stop for a while to rest and prepare for the next Jinling Massacre.

The place where he works is Shimonoseki Wharf, and he earns money by working as a coolie.

Xia Yuan has the strength to earn more than a piece a day, which is much stronger than many coolies working on the docks.

However, he borrowed Wang Cui's money before, which was used to pay for the "renting the wheel" and the "river money", which amounted to more than four yuan.

In addition, you should also buy simple tools such as baskets and flat poles.

Xia Yuan loves this job, has seen a lot of people and things, and really understands how difficult it is to live as a hard worker during this period.

Moreover, there are quite a few factions in the local area, and each faction has its own rules on how much work they do.

Xia Yuan's appearance somewhat broke the balance between these factions, he himself came to make some short money, and by the way, take a look at Jinling City, which is to provoke some chaotic factions.

For example, on the docks, there is a faction led by coolies, which takes over 80% of the work on the docks, and the rest is occupied by some casual workers.

Xia Yuan works hard, never picks, and it doesn't matter which faction you are from.

It belongs to the work that is done.

Seeing those coolies who couldn't help it, Xia Yuan smiled, and found the boss of the other party that day and knocked it out, but he didn't dare to trouble Xia Yuan again.

This gave him peace for a while.

I worked at the dock for a few days, made some money, and gathered some information I wanted.

For example, where did the Japanese devils hit.

The water system of Zhejiang and Jiangsu extends in all directions, as well as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and some wealthy people who fled will mostly take the waterway, which is much faster than taking the land. Recently, most of the people on the dock have fled from the coast, and they bring the latest news from the front, and what Xia Yuan hears the most is that many people have died.

Not long after he withdrew from the battlefield, he had some brief understanding of this period of history, and he knew the situation in Songhu far better than they did.

The Japanese devils are chasing after them tightly, calculating the time, they may already be on the way to Jinling.

There is still a month left before the fall of Jinling.

Xia Yuan didn't know how to deal with it for a while. He thought of using the identities of Wang Cui and Wu Youhua to spread the news that Japan would carry out a massacre in the city, causing panic among the people, and naturally there were people who fled.

But when you think about it, it's a pretty stupid plan.

When the Japanese devils called, they were already panicked and didn't need themselves, and the people at this time were already quite panicked.

Even if news of the massacre spreads, few people will flee Jinling.

Jinling has not yet fallen, the national army is still there, and the bald head is still there.

The bald head only needed to release a message to defend Jinling to stabilize the people in Jinling City, and once they saw hope, this plan fell through.

Not only that, but it will harm Wang Cui and Wu Youhua.

Secondly, it is unrealistic to let the people in Jinling City escape from Jinling.

Build your own armament?

Xia Yuan also thought about it.

On the battlefield of Songhu, he pulled up the team, but because of the war, the team was scattered, and few were dead, and few were alive.

Don't even think about raising an armed force in Jinling, although the Nationalist Government has moved the capital, it is still the capital of the Nationalist Government. The townspeople were convinced that their army would defend Jinling and defend them.

It's just that their expectations for their army are too high.

Jinling is destined to be undefended.

The Japanese army approached Jinling, and whether Jinling was defended or abandoned became the central topic of discussion among the bald heads and senior generals.

As early as when the order to retreat was given, the bald head was troubled by the defense of the capital Jinling.

Whether to prevent or not, and how to prevent it, these questions are bothering him all the time and making him undecided.

On the afternoon of 12 November, senior military officers at and above the level of the general of the state government and responsible persons of various government departments were summoned to the official residence on Huangpu Road.

The conference room was full of senior generals and department heads.

"Shanghai decided to give up, what should Jinling do?" The bald head didn't have time, and he put this thorny problem in front of his subordinates straight to the point.

The venue was silent, bowing their heads and being silent.

Time passed minute by minute, the air in the venue was too dull, for a long time, the bald head suddenly asked Bai Chongx, who was beside him, "Jiansheng, you have a good set of military affairs and a lot of actual combat experience, how about you start first?" ”

Bai Chongx, the word Jiansheng.

Hearing the bald words, Bai Chongxi blushed and said angrily: "The troops are all disabled in Shanghai, and they have not yet taken a breath when they retreat to the periphery of Jinling, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time, let alone fight a hard defense battle immediately." You have to listen to me, just give up. ”

His words carried a certain personal emotion, and everyone present knew it quite well in their hearts.

The six divisions of the Gui Army, tens of thousands of troops, were crippled by the Japanese army in one day, and no one felt comfortable in their hearts, and no one blamed Bai Chongxi.

The bald head didn't blame, just was silent for a moment, and looked at Chen Cheng beside him, "Ci Xiu, you can tell me your opinion again." ”

Chen Cheng, the word is revised, he has always followed the bald head's train of thought to grope forward, and before the meeting, he knew that the bald head had been hesitant and hesitant on this issue. Now the bald head will point to himself, he can't hide from it, and he has to express some opinions.

And in this matter, on the way to retreat, he has always considered it in his heart.

Jin Ling can't keep it, in fact, he can't make up his mind.

I kept it, but I couldn't keep it. If you don't defend it, you will retreat directly.

to become sinners of history.

All come at a huge cost.

Therefore, at this time, you must be careful when speaking, he said: "This question, my attitude is very clear, although I don't know the leader's intentions, but I can say very clearly, the leader told me to guard, I will fight to the end, the leader told me to withdraw, I will never stay in Jinling for a minute longer." ”

It seems to be an opinion, but in fact it throws this problem to the bald head.

Again, everything is said and nothing is said.

"!" Someone couldn't help but scold.

"What's your attitude?" Bai Chongx has always been outspoken, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Chen Cheng argued: "Isn't my attitude clear enough? Unlike some people, who have a meeting for half an hour and have no attitude, I am much better than them. ”

He was not shy about it at all, and many of the generals present were from various provinces, and they had some grievances in the past.

The united front, tying them together, does not mean that the grievances disappear.

"It's shameless." Some people couldn't help but scold, obviously not dealing with Chen Cheng.

"Don't make any noise!" For this matter, the bald head was undecided, couldn't make up his mind, and held a meeting on this matter, everyone was noisy and shouting, and his heart was naturally irritable and panicked, "At the moment of the great enemy, the battle plan always has to be discussed, don't care about each other, let's think of a way quickly." ”

After thinking for a while, he stood up and paced in the conference room, and after stopping, he continued: "Since everyone is not mentally prepared, then the meeting will be dismissed, after the meeting, you should go back and think about it, please come to the meeting on time tomorrow, and come up with your ideas and plans when the time comes, brainstorming, it is better than using your brains alone." ”

The meeting was dispersed, and many people walked in groups.

They don't deal with each other, they stare at each other, and they almost pinch each other.

Although the Japanese army broke through Shanghai, but did not stop the bombing of Jinling, during the work of Xia Yuan, the Japanese planes flew over Jinling several times, dropped bombs on Jinling, and heard the fierce bombing of Japanese planes from the east of the city from a distance, and the rumbling sound was louder than the artillery battle set off during the New Year.

Some citizens stood on the side and pointed their fingers.

Some citizens also expressed their incomprehension of the air force's non-dispatch; some time ago, when Japanese planes attacked, the air force would take off to meet the attack, but today's bombers came again, and their air force was not dispatched.

"Could it be that our air force is dying on the front line?"

Important questions were raised.

This is speculation in itself, but some people who don't think it's a big deal take it seriously and slowly spread it.

After all, on the day of the bald man's 50th birthday, all of them donated money and bought a plane, and now how long has it been, the Japanese devil plane called, but they didn't see their air force to meet the battle, it is very likely that they died on the front line, and no one thought that this matter was done by their first lady.

Xia Yuan didn't know about this matter, standing on the dock, looking at the small black dot in the sky from afar.

After a moment's thought, he shook his head.

The situation of the Nationalist Government's air force is really complicated, it obviously has the strength of a country, but it does not even have decent aircraft.

From what little he knew about the First Lady, some people in modern society boasted about her, and some people spit on her. Xia Yuan belongs to the category of spitting on her, mainly because he learned that this guy cooperated with the Kong family and embezzled a lot of money during the national period, which was confirmed by the Yankees, about more than one billion dollars.

And one of the most advanced US fighter planes is only more than $300,000.

For 30 million dollars, you can buy 100 new combat units.

The money they embezzled was enough to buy thousands of planes.

It's a pity that they don't, it has nothing to do with the life and death of China, and they have to take this money into their own pockets.

Therefore, he spit on the first lady and the Kong Song family.

Not only the Kong Song family, but also the Chen Jiang family.

Chen Boda wrote an article "The Four Great Families of China" during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, alleging that the four major families amassed people's wealth in the name of the Anti-Japanese War and obtained as much as 20 billion US dollars.

More than $20 billion during the Republic of China.

Not to mention that it was in the Republic of China period, it is still an astronomical number.

But even if you know it, this is the wheel of history rumbling over, and it must exist, and there are all kinds of times.

Moths that never go away.

Japanese planes wantonly wreaked havoc over Jinling.

To avoid the bombing of aircraft.

After the previous day's meeting, at 9 a.m. the next day, a new meeting continued in the bungalow attached to the Sifang City of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which would later be the Jinling Watch Factory.

There were a lot of people gathered in the conference room, sitting upright on the stool, listening to the bald head and talking about the opening remarks, Liu Fei, the head of the operations group of the General Staff Headquarters from the Gui department, stood up and said:

"To talk about the question of whether Jinling should be defended or not, we must first talk about the Battle of Songhu. The Battle of Songhu can be summed up in only 4 simple words, that is, 'anticlimactic'. In the Yangtze River Delta, where the enemy's land, navy, and air force all fought together, we held on to the enemy for too long, and relied too much on the "Nine-Power Pact" in the hope that the "Nine-Power Pact" would come forward to sanction Japan to end the war. ”

Liu Fei's gaze swept over the generals at all levels and the heads of government departments in the conference room, and his voice was raised: "However, each of the nine countries has its own calculations, and it is only through a contract of paper, which is not painful for the Japanese government. Moreover, the Japanese Government did not take the Nine-Power Pact seriously at all, and continued to attack us as it should. There is a lot of discussion outside, and some people say that we have delayed the fighter plane, that the strategy has affected the strategy, that the strategy has become a victim of the strategy, and that the strategy has not achieved the expected results, so we have fallen into the current passive situation. ”

Liu Fei kept talking, but he was very angry with the bald head, which was completely blaming the bald head for the failure, the wrong command, and the untimely retreat.

It is completely 'pointing at the bald man and scolding the monk', and openly attacking the improper command in front of the supreme commander, which can be said to be a great rebellion.

The bald head pretends to command correctly, and he personally serves as the commander of the 3rd Theater of Operations, and the strategies and tactics are all issued according to his orders, how can there be mistakes? Therefore, in a fit of anger, the bald head interrupted Liu Fei's words: "The "Nine-Power Pact" did not come forward to sanction Japan, this is because the countries concerned only see the immediate interests and do not see the future relationship. Japanese militarism will not invade China alone, and after conquering China, it will certainly govern the whole world. The day before yesterday, some countries watched the fire from across the strait for the sake of their own interests, and tomorrow they will receive retribution, and they will reap the consequences of their own misdeeds. We are to practice benevolent government. ”

In the bald tone, there was already a trace of dissatisfaction with the "Nine-Nation Pact", and he tried his best, the Central Army was almost completely disabled, and the local armies from all walks of life gathered in Songhu to fight a difficult battle, but what the "Nine-Power Pact" formulated was completely painless for Japan.

The expected effect was not achieved, and his family background was basically lost in Songhu, which made his previous plan completely frustrated and completely lost face.

The bald head is also aggrieved in his heart.

Listening to Liu Fei's words, why not be angry.

"I said at the Lushan Talks that peace must never be given up when it is completely hopeless. We hope that through the "Nine-Power Pact" conference, we will sanction Japan and end the war peacefully, which reflects my position and the national policy of the country, so what's wrong? No, not at all! Don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders, we lost some land on the battlefield, but we won politically, and most of the public opinion in the world sympathized with us and supported us. Condemn Japan, oppose Japan. Our political victory cannot be underestimated. ”

That's what I said, but everyone knows the actual situation, and these words are just a bald mouth.

None of them were broken.

The casualties in the Battle of Songhu were quite staggering, and several ace units of the Central Army were disabled by the Japanese army, but as a result, people and land were lost.
