These days, Chiang Kai-shek's mansion has been quiet.Whether it is a subordinate who serves here or an important member of the Nationalist government who comes here to report to work, they must all be cautious, lest they accidentally anger the supreme ruler of the Kuomintang.In Chiang Kai-shek's mansion, the most heard voice during this period of time was the "Niang Xipi" shouted with a thick local accent, and the people were almost accustomed to it, and these three words would appear at least ten times a day.If they don't, they'll all feel a little uncomfortable.On this day, Chiang Kai-shek sat in his office, looking at a briefing from the front with a gloomy face.His brows were furrowed like pimples, and his face was unusually ugly."
Headmaster, I'm afraid Xue Yue won't be able to stand it this time.Although his Heavenly Furnace tactics were very powerful, the Japanese urgently increased their troops by 200,000.Having an overwhelming advantage in numbers, I'm afraid Changsha can't hold it. ”Yu Jishi, the chief of the guard, stood respectfully in front of Chiang Kai-shek, his waist straight."
Niang Xipi" Chiang Kai-shek slapped the briefing on the table heavily, stood up and cursed loudly: "Are the heads of the Japanese burned out, their Anhui and Northern Jiangsu have been captured, and now they don't want to regain there, but they are desperately fighting Changsha with me, what good is it to defeat me in doing this, and get a ruined Changsha, but let the Communist army become stronger and bigger, are their heads kicked by donkeys" Yu Jishi couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, Chiang Kai-shek's remarks would have been shocking to any newspaper in China.The head of state of a country who calls his enemies to clean up his compatriots and "recover" his own land will be reviled by the whole country."
Headmaster, the Japanese have a tendon in their heads, and they think that we are their worst enemies, so they must destroy us before they turn their heads to deal with the New Fourth Army," Yu Jishi said respectfully."
What the New Fourth Army is in the past, now can you still find this team called the New Fourth Army They have already announced to the whole country that they have broken away from our jurisdiction and established a Su-Anhui Military Region by themselves" Chiang Kai-shek's forehead was bruised, and as soon as he mentioned this Su-Anhui Military Region, he had to think of the 17th Army and the 36th Army that had taken refuge in the New Fourth Army.He hated Wu Qi and his people so much that he couldn't wait to strangle them with his own hands.But he couldn't tell anyone about his hatred, because he sent these troops, but in the end they betrayed him.This is tantamount to lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, slapping himself in the mouth a few times, and giving tens of thousands of troops to the Communist Party in vain, and this breath in Chiang Kai-shek's heart can be said to be monstrous and indescribable."
Principal, it's useless for you to be angry again, it's a foregone conclusion, we should still think about what to do in Changsha next" Yu Jishi reminded: "Changsha still has more than 200,000 of our troops, and the current Japanese army has increased its troops by 400,000, and they can be surrounded at any time, and the war is very urgent." ”Chiang Kai-shek stopped and sighed secretly: "Just do what Xue Yue said, burn Changsha, I'd rather give the Japanese a piece of scorched earth than let them get a complete Changsha city."
Evacuate all the troops, and according to Xue Yue, rely on the dense mountains and forests to block the Japanese attack. ”Three days later, a fire burned in the city of Changsha.More than 200,000 national troops left the city, which had been defended for almost two years, and withdrew further south with a large number of fleeing refugees.The Japanese army's nearly 400,000 troops, in a wild laugh, occupied Changsha, which had been reduced to ruins.Compared with the complacent ambition of the Japanese army in Changsha, the Japanese army trapped in southern Jiangsu was extremely difficult.Nanjing, the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters, Tada Jun has not slept for more than three hours for almost a month, and the insomnia of the whole night has made his already pale hair gradually turn white, and he can no longer find a single black hair, and the whole person seems to be ten years old in this month, and even his back is slightly bent.Sending two military-level units of the Imperial Allied Army to the New Fourth Army was enough to disgrace Tada Jun.For this incident, he was criticized in the top echelons of the Japanese military department.The Kwantung Army and the Navy even impeached him, strongly demanding that the military department severely punish Tada Jun and other cadres and send them to a military court.But in the end, Tada Jun played some tricks and turned the big thing into a small thing.But the situation in southern Jiangsu was not good at all, the land route was blocked, and all contact between them and the northern army was cut off.All the railways passing through the Suzhou-Anhui region were occupied by the newly established Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, and the trains were no longer passable.In the waters of the Yangtze River, not a single boat can go, and even the navy has given up on continuing the offensive.Because of the continuous wars in southern Jiangsu, a large number of fields were barren, and the people in the occupied areas were so hot that there was no food to supply to the Japanese army.The people of southern Jiangsu were even more displaced in the war, fleeing for help, starving to death, and they had no food rations.Originally, southern Jiangsu could also transport large quantities of grain and materials from Anhui, Jiangxi or the north by land.But now that Suwan is occupied by the New Fourth Army, all transportation lines have been interrupted.The navy was unwilling to help with all its might, and only occasionally delivered some food and supplies, which was like a drop in the bucket and did not play any role at all.For this matter, Tada's head is about to explode.If this continues for a long time, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the troops may be greatly reduced, even those Chinese people in the occupied areas may break out into large-scale anti-Japanese actions because they cannot survive.If he really gets to that point, I'm afraid that no matter how much he has the means, the guns of the military department will be pointed at him mercilessly.Tada was worried about supplies and food, and finally as a last resort, he took the advice of his generals.The solution is very simple, that is, to beg the Su-Anhui Military Region, hoping that they can release a transportation route, and they are willing to spend money to buy a formal document drawn up by Tada Jun himself, which praises the military exploits of the Su-Anhui Military Region, and does not mention anything about the past, mainly to make sycophants.In the end, he told the suffering of the entire Jiangnan in a particularly sad way, hoping that the Suwan Military Region would agree to their request and leave them a way to live.This document was sent to the military headquarters of the Suwan Military Region, and after reading it, Ye Ting immediately convened a meeting including Su Yu and Gao Dong, as well as Wu Qi and other provincial governors, to discuss this request for the Japanese army.The document was translated into Chinese and everyone read it carefully.Ye Ting didn't express any opinions, just looked at everyone quietly, as if he was waiting for something."
If you want me to say, just starve these devils to death.The place they occupied was like a wildfire, and there was no grass left.We have cut off their transportation lines on the road, and their navy and army are at great odds with each other.It's just to starve these devils, and when they have no combat effectiveness, we just take down the entire Jiangnan in one fell swoop" Xiong Wenqing, the trusted governor of Jiangsu Province, said excitedly, he felt that this was a good opportunity to completely eliminate the devils entrenched in Jiangnan Ye Ting did not speak, but moved his eyes to others.Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said: "I think this may be a conspiracy of the devils, who want to use the reopening of the transportation line to restore the combat effectiveness of the devils in Jiangnan."
Perhaps this transportation line may also become the capital for their reoffensive.The rest of the people also immediately nodded in agreement, what they were most worried about was that the Suzhou-Anhui region, which had just stabilized, would experience another big war.It's just a bit peaceful here, and no one wants the results of everyone's joint efforts to be ruined."
Gao Dong, what do you think" Ye Ting's gaze finally fell on Gao Dong, who had been silent.Gao Dong looked at all the people and said slowly: "Use the most expensive price to sell it to them." ”"Brother Gao, this may be a conspiracy of the devil, we can't just do anything for the sake of money" Wu Qi persuaded, "Yes, Deputy Commander Gao, this is a good opportunity to hit the devil hard, if we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will be able to hit Jiangnan" Xiong Wenqing also persuaded.Su Yu didn't speak, as if he was thinking, and as if waiting for Gao Dong to tell him all his plans.Gao Dong coughed: "The devils in Jiangnan were really forced to a dead end by us, especially this Tada Jun, I believe that in order to keep his throne as the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, he was also under considerable pressure."
Their supplies and food supplies have been cut off by us, and the devil's army is unstable, and Tada Jun is really anxious. ”"That's right, taking advantage of their unstable morale, it is beneficial to us, why do you want to open up supply lines for them" Xiong Wenqing had a natural expression.Gao Dong smiled: "Open up supply lines for them, not only for the devils, but also for ourselves."
There are millions of our compatriots in Jiangnan, we have cut off the supply line, the devils have no food, and our people have also no food.We are not only starving to death of devils, but also of our common people. ”Everyone was silent, everyone ignored this.If the devils lose the hearts of the people, how should they face the people in Jiangnan in the future."
And Jiangnan has always been the financial center of the whole of China, didn't Chiang Kai-shek just rely on the consortium in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to start our business, what we need most now is money, and what the devils need most is all kinds of materials and food, which can just be used by each other."
Gao Dong said with a smile: "We won't open up the transportation line for them, but they can buy things from us."
If you want anything, just ask, just give money.In this way, we can not only ensure that a large number of people in Jiangnan will not starve to death, but also have the funds to develop our Suzhou-Anhui base area, build it into an economic and military center, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese in the future. ”"And the most important one is that if the Japanese are pushed too quickly by us, then they will focus on us, and now the focus of the Japanese is still on the Kuomintang, and the spearhead of millions of troops is all pointed at the national army.At this time, if you attract the devil's all-out attack too early, I am afraid that the entire Su Wan will not be guaranteed.Therefore, our current top priority is to stabilize Suzhou and Anhui, and be in a state of peace with the devils in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the demand for long-term and stable development. ”After Gao Dong finished speaking, he glanced at everyone."
Okay, just do what you say, and sell everything the devil wants at the highest price."
Ye Ting immediately made a decision
