Chapter 793: Wind coming from all directions

"Boom, boom, boom... suddenly, suddenly..." No matter what Chongqing thinks, the National Defense Forces are still doing what they are doing. For example, now, the Second Army is frantically attacking the Japanese army in Cangzhou City.

The anti-tank trench dug with great effort by the Japanese army only stopped the Wehrmacht for more than three hours. Subsequently, the anti-tank trench was turned into ruins during the bombardment of aircraft and the Second Artillery Unit.

The collapsed anti-tank trench was rushed over by armored troops in just a few seconds. The Japanese army was forced to retreat again and build new defensive positions.

The battle has progressed to this point, and Juichi Terauchi has even forced the already semi-disabled armored division to go to the position to help defend. There is no other way, unless the Japanese army chooses to retreat, it can only mobilize all its forces for defense.

The entire Japanese North China Front has been fighting until now, and only more than 130,000 troops are left. However, the Second Army of the National Defense Forces on the opposite side has as many as 200,000 troops!

This does not include the heavy artillery group, an armored division and the second artillery unit. The progress of such a comparison of the battle situation can be imagined. It can be said that Juichi Terauchi can be regarded as a first-class general in the Japanese army for being able to hold on until now.

"Wait! Wait! Those gentlemen in the military headquarters know how to tell us to wait! If we wait any longer, all my North China Front troops will be wiped out!!" Juichi Terauchi roared in his headquarters.

What was placed on the table was a telegram from Tokyo. The content of the telegram was very simple. It simply asked the temple to continue its defense in order to withstand the attack of the National Defense Forces.

But now that the entire army has no air superiority, no armored units, and even no heavy artillery, how can it withstand it?! Furthermore, now that the entire North China Front has been divided into two parts, how can it withstand the attack of the National Defense Forces?!

"Your Excellency, Commander, the military department has no choice..." Chief of Staff Major General Naosaburo Okabe sighed: "Now the country is constantly gathering troops, but the biggest problem is still resources..."

"The horse dung men in the Navy used steel to build their warships, which resulted in a shortage of supply for our army. Newly recruited soldiers still need training before they can truly become imperial soldiers. This all takes time...

"

"But we need more time now!" Juichi Terauchi said solemnly: "You have seen the current battle situation, the National Defense Forces are coming fiercely! Their armored forces continue to break through our defensive positions. If this continues, we will be defeated in three days at most.

Forced to abandon Cangzhou City!"

"I also hope to be able to withstand the attack of the Wehrmacht, but we have lost the most important air force and heavy artillery group. Under this disadvantage, it is simply difficult for us to withstand the attack of the Wehrmacht!"

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the gunfire of the National Defense Force finally stopped. The two sides temporarily entered a stalemate, but Terauchi Juichi knew that this situation would soon change.

The National Defense Forces have powerful assault capabilities, and their armored units ensure that they can gallop across this plain! The Japanese army's current small-caliber artillery hitting these tanks is no different than scratching an itch.

It can be said that except for anti-tank trenches, the Japanese army currently has no means of countering armored forces. They can only hold on or choose to retreat.

"Hahaha... Those people in Chongqing actually sent a telegram to ask me?! Asking me what to do?!" Tu Qianjun laughed while holding the telegram from Chongqing, no matter when he had a beard or now he has become the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces

Commander, he has never looked down upon the gentlemen of the government.

To say that they are a vegetarian is an insult. These people are just a bunch of troublemakers. They eat, drink, whore, gamble, fight for power, and talk about romance. These people are very good at it. But if you ask them to do real things, they are the best.

Everyone is blinded.

For example, General Sun Liren, who was promoted to the top in later generations, was accused by Lian Bingyi, then the Inspector General of the Guangzhou Police Department, Director of the Huangsha Branch, and Acting Deputy Director of the Police Department, of having poor military discipline and robbing the people when he was stationed in Guangzhou.

Then General Sun responded like this: The people of Guangdong are extremely mean. When our army was stationed in Siam, the local overseas Chinese were very polite to us. They gave us food and clothing. We soldiers took whatever they wanted and used it casually.

If Guangzhou wants something, it is unreasonable to say that our military discipline is bad.

Mr. Sun undoubtedly takes taking things from the people as a matter of course, and not giving them back would be mean and stingy. Zhang Gali's translator said: I don't even have to pay for restaurants in the city, but I will eat a few rotten watermelons from you.

What kind of essence.

This is true for elite divisions, and you can imagine what the situation is like for other troops.

"Hehehe... Chongqing is also getting desperate. Their current situation is not good." Su Zongzhe said with a helpless smile: "Japan's Central China Front Army of more than 300,000 people is pressing forward step by step. The defeat of the Wuhan Battle has demoralized them.

.They have no choice but to consider coming to us now..."

Tu Qianjun placed the telegram on the table and said with a smile: "Those gentlemen in Chongqing will not shed tears until they see the coffin. Only now have they contacted Long Yun to contact me. What kind of contact is this?!"

With that said, Tu Qianjun stood up and said to Su Zongzhe: "Looking at what they conveyed through Long Yun, we know that these people still hold on to the idea that they are orthodox! Let them hold on to it! I don't care what these people think.

"

Saying that, Tu Qianjun shrugged: "Giving them weapons is not worth giving to Long Yun! At least the 60th Army broke through the Japanese position. However, the Central Army fought on the outside for a long time but failed to penetrate. This is called

What’s going on!”

Su Zongzhe smiled bitterly and was speechless. He knew that his commander-in-chief had a very high vision and did not look down on those troops of the Central Army whose combat effectiveness was extremely poor.

Su Zongzhe had spent time in the Central Army, and he knew the situation of the Central Army. In the early years, the Central Army, with teachers and students from Huangpu as its backbone, was actually very powerful in combat effectiveness. This army played an important role in the rise of Chiang Zhongzheng.

However, after many twists and turns, the Central Army was no longer as powerful as before. Chiang Kai-shek continued to recruit those warlord troops, and at the same time added veterans to the Central Army. He also purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Indeed, in the short term, this can indeed greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Central Army. But what follows is a weakening of the entire army.

The most serious thing is that Chiang Zhongzheng's own position is tilted. What goes up naturally has consequences. The Huangpu clique who stayed with Chiang Zhongzheng were loyal to Chiang Zhongzheng, and some of their commanding abilities were also good.

But these people are also good at shoveling the ground, from Tang Enbo to the famous general Xue Yue. No one is soft-handed when shoveling the ground.

For example, the famous General Xue did not forget to join forces with the director of the Hunan Trade Bureau and General Xue's uncle Fang Renju to resell grain to Guangdong while fighting. Of course, Mr. Ziwen was also involved.

In short, General Xue made a lot of money with his tricks. However, Hunan had a good harvest, but the grain was shipped to Guangdong. As a result, countless people died of starvation in Hunan at that time.

However, General Xue really doesn’t care about the life and death of the ass people. Anyway, if all of them die, there will always be someone to replace them. Those ass people are the ones who should contribute to him, General Xue, aren’t they?!

"Commander, how should we respond to this matter?!" Su Zongzhe really couldn't say much about this matter. After all, he was also from the Central Army.

It means nothing, it is better to wait silently for the commander-in-chief's order.

"Send them a batch of rifles, machine guns and mortars." Tu Qianjun thought for a while and said to Su Zongzhe: "If you want heavy weapons, use their military exploits in exchange. I don't like those things from the government.

Eyes, just let them handle it themselves."

Tu Qianjun felt that it was not good to give him nothing. After all, the soldiers below still needed weapons. But if he gave them good weapons, he would give them all to the Japanese without a second thought.

The combat effectiveness of the transport brigade captain's cronies was really worrying. In the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Japanese army had more than 50,000 troops, and more than 400,000 people in Laotang fled for their lives all over the mountains and plains.

All the equipment that the Americans worked desperately to transport from the Hump Route was given to the Imperial Army of Japan.

However, what is even more funny than this is that in later generations, some people continued to overturn the verdict of the four major families. It was said that the Chen family brothers ended up raising chickens for a living, and their lives were very tight.

It is a pity that those who reverse the case do not know that there is a document on Zhang Jia (former president of the Bank of China and the Central Bank) stored in the Hoover Institution Archives at Stanford University. On October 17, 1939, the Japanese secret service interviewed senior officials of the Kuomintang government.

A secret investigation report on the deposit situation of foreign banks in Shanghai.

This report is called "Special Report No. C of the Group - Survey Form on Prepayments (Deposits) of Shanghai Foreign Bank of Government Important Persons". It is recorded as follows:

Jiang Zhongzheng 66.39 million yuan (according to the exchange price of legal currency and US dollars at that time, approximately 8.09 million US dollars. The same below),

Soong Meiling 30.94 million yuan (US$3.77 million)

Song Ziwen 52.3 million yuan (US$6.37 million)

Kong Xiangxi 52.14 million yuan (US$6.35 million),

Song Ailing 12 million yuan (US$1.46 million),

Chen Lifu 24 million yuan (US$2.92 million),

Song Ziliang 5.5 million yuan (US$670,000),

Zhang Qun 27.5 million yuan ($3.35 million)

He Yingqin 26 million yuan (US$3.17 million)

These deposits were all deposited in foreign banks operating in Shanghai at that time, such as Citigroup, Macquarie, Chase, AIA, American Express, HSBC, ABN Amro, etc. Therefore, Truman later cursed that the government was all thieves. This was not groundless.

"I don't want to have anything to do with this bunch of people." Tu Qianjun said very directly and clearly: "These people fight for power by being pioneers, and when they do things, they work as foreigners. If I want to wait for them to fight to the death, why not do it myself."

Su Zongzhe smiled bitterly and was speechless at Tu Qianjun's words. How could he not know the situation in the government?! But he had no choice himself, those people were all old fools.

It's very powerful to play with your mind and play political battles, but if you really fight for it, you can see the clues in the battles of Songhu, Nanjing and Wuhan.

These people haven't figured out how to fight at all, and some even don't know how to fight the Japanese army. Furthermore, from their attitude in contacting the government, it can be seen that these people are still trying to bargain with the "orthodox" airs.

Therefore, Tu Qianjun chose to let them handle it on their own. He gave them some guns and cannons, but not the best ones. As for how well they could fight, it depends on their own ability.

"Uncle Qi Liu, what's the situation in North Korea now?!" Tu Qianjun didn't want to waste too much time on Chongqing, so he changed the topic to North Korea.

"Jinjiu's troops have been roughly trained and formed, and they have now taken over many of our positions." Su Zongzhe also knew what Tu Qianjun meant, and answered carefully: "According to the assessment of the Korean theater, although these troops have not reached the combat effectiveness of our headquarters

But defense is still possible.”

"Hmm... then keep a certain number of troops in North Korea and return all the rest to China." Tu Qianjun pondered for a while and said to Su Zongzhe: "Tell Li Hanhun that Baoding must be captured as soon as possible! Yan Chenghan's mother-in-law over in Nanjing

After a long time, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on any longer. At the worst, we have to speed up the pace so that the aircraft can cover the position of the Second Army. Give them some help..."

"Okay..." Su Zongzhe recorded the order, and Tu Qianjun walked towards the map, looked at the map full of marks, frowned and said in a deep voice: "The overall battle planned by the staff last time has now come to fruition.

?”

"We are still a little behind. We are accelerating the progress..." Su Zongzhe put down his notebook and said to Tu Qianjun: "Commander, the situation in the Soviet Union is unclear now. Should we wait and see?!"

When Tu Qianjun heard this, he turned around and smiled.

"There is nothing unclear. It's just that the two sides are tired of fighting and plan to reconcile." Tu Qianjun smiled and said: "Stalin is not a simple figure. This person... will be our rising enemy."

Su Zongzhe frowned when he heard this and said to his commander-in-chief: "Then why don't we get rid of him directly?!"

"Because... he is also a strong enemy of others." Tu Qianjun smiled meaningfully and said to Su Zongzhe: "We need such people to become strong enemies. Sometimes strong enemies can give you more benefits than allies."

These words made people a little confused, but Su Zongzhe didn't want to go into details. He said to Tu Qianjun: "Commander, do you have any other orders? If not, I will go and deliver the order now."

"No, please help me ask Wang Yajiao to come in on your way out." Tu Qianjun nodded, Su Zongzhe responded and left the office.

After Wang Yajiao entered the office, Tu Qianjun only said one sentence to him: "Let us people in northern Jiangsu start moving and relieve some pressure on Nanjing."

This telegram was carried along the radio waves to the distant northern Jiangsu. And there, Liu Yunjiao, the personal guard who once massacred Qianjun, took the telegram and smiled happily.

"Hahaha... I thought the commander had forgotten me!" A woman stood next to Liu Yunjiao, looking at him curiously. All along, this woman thought that Liu Yunjiao was an unsmiling and serious man.
