Chapter 143: Battle of Jinzhou(1/2)
,
spn January 28, 1932, Kunming
Throughout the day, Zhang Shusheng was preoccupied, and the staff in the Supreme Commander's Office were cautious, thinking that the war had aroused the anger of the top leader of the southwest.
The war in the north is getting more and more intense. Not to mention the confidential information obtained by the intelligence personnel of the two major "governments" in the north and the south, major newspapers have begun to publish some war columns that herald the coming storm.
After obtaining permission from Zhang Xueliang to conduct in-depth interviews on the front lines, some war reporters discovered that the number of Japanese troops opposite the Ningjin Defense Line was increasing day by day. With the help of telescopes, they could even see the Japanese troops building forward positions.
But in the sky over Jinzhou, we might not have seen a plane once a day before, but now one flies over in an instant. Whether it’s a Japanese plane or Zhang Xueliang’s latest plane, you come and go, without starting a fight, but you are trapped in a kind of
In the eerie tranquility before the war, everyone was conducting final testing and reconnaissance.[
"If the Japanese do not give up, the Ningjin Defense Line will have a protracted battle."
After this news spread like wildfire across the country, people became more worried. Many famous anti-Japanese war figures published articles one after another, urging the north and the south to put aside their differences as soon as possible and put their military focus on the Northeast War.
When Zhang Shusheng returned home, he saw He Ningzheng and Lu Yunyan, together with two little girls brought by their parents' families, looking for something. When they walked over, they saw that they were all money, paper, candles and the like.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Shusheng was stunned. Although he was not against feudal superstition, he also advocated a scientific outlook. After doing this for a long time, paper money and candles were playing around at home.
"Yeah, be careful..." He Ning was the first to look up and saw Zhang Shusheng's unkind expression. She thought he was unhappy that her two sisters were playing with such superstitious things at home, so she couldn't help but poked Lu Yunyan.
Looking at each other, they both secretly blamed Zhang Shusheng for coming back too early.
"Okay, it's okay, I just asked casually."
Today is January 28th. It was originally another humiliating day in history, the "anniversary" of the January 28th Incident, so Zhang Shusheng was a little unhappy. However, history has changed, and the January 28th Incident did not happen, and the Japanese
There were no big moves in Shanghai, Ningxia and Hangzhou. Even their naval forces were not dispatched to the southeast region, but gathered in the Bohai Sea.
In addition to sending two additional special task forces including aircraft carriers and battleships, the Japanese also sent two additional divisions to the Northeast, making the Japanese army's strength in the Northeast equal to that of the Northeast Army.
Originally, historically, these divisions would be involved in the Battle of Songhu, but now they are gathered in the Northeast. Zhang Shusheng, who had absolutely anticipated the Japanese psychology of invading China, naturally knew that there would be a war in the Northeast.
Seeing that the war was getting closer, he was mentally prepared. The January 28th Incident did not happen, which only showed that the Japanese had placed their strategic focus on the Northeast, where progress was not going well. The Japanese army was bound to open a gap in the Northeast and expand their sphere of influence.
Entering the extremely important Pingjin area.
According to original history, Jinzhou had already been lost at this time, and Zhang Xueliang, who had lost all the people and people at the right time and place, had also retreated to Peiping.
But now, instead of taking a big step back, Zhang Xueliang accepted the advice of the southern regime and vowed not to be a national sinner. On the one hand, he actively called on the people to support the anti-Japanese war, recruited new soldiers, and stepped up training; on the other hand, he raised military expenditures and purchased arms and supplies; at the same time, he invested huge amounts of money.
The manpower was used day and night to reinforce the Ningjin Defense Line, which had become the lifeline of China.
In order to save costs, Zhang Xueliang even took over several cement factories from the military, started working day and night, produced cement, and then shipped it all to build fortifications.
As for domestic support, seeing that Zhang Xueliang's Ningjin defense line was beginning to take shape after several months of construction, and another 200,000 Northeastern troops were stationed, Chiang Kai-shek also ordered the allocation of a batch of supplies. In addition to the first batch of 1 million silver dollars of anti-war funds
On this basis, another secret anti-war fund was obtained from the Three Kingdoms. Although only a small part was allocated to Zhang Xueliang, it also solved the urgent need. It must be said that although Chiang Kai-shek misappropriated most of the anti-war fund from the loan, but
It also provided considerable financial support to Zhang Xueliang, plus a batch of guns and artillery. It could be considered that it had done something in the war of resistance. It did not wave its hands and just stand and watch Zhang Xueliang fight the Japanese.
In addition to support from all walks of life, the Nanjing "government", and overseas Chinese, Zhang Xueliang also received tremendous support from the Southwest.
After receiving the first batch of military supplies and funds, Zhang Shusheng quickly organized a second batch of military supplies, including as many as 50,000 rifles, more than 1,000 heavy machine guns, and more than 300 cannons. This time, due to the Japanese blockade,
The North China Sea was not shipped to Tianjin Port, but was shipped directly to Shanghai in a clever way.
At first, Chiang Kai-shek was so overjoyed that he even sent personnel to receive the arms ship from the southwest "government" as soon as it arrived at the port. But the result made him very angry.
Although Zhang Shusheng did not come in person, a large number of newspaper reporters and even foreign reporters were brought with him on the ship. At the Shanghai Bund Pier, the official on board the ship from the Southwest Government was Li Zongren, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Government.
At the dock, Li Zongren delivered a passionate speech in front of representatives of the Northeastern Army, reporters, dock workers, Shanghai residents, and Nanjing government officials receiving the ship.[
"...The responsibility for the war of resistance does not distinguish between the north and the south. All our Chinese people have the responsibility to defend their homeland and resist the war. Although the southwest is far away from the northeast, it is also determined to resist the war. However, due to poor transportation, it is impossible to send troops to directly participate in the war, so we can only use huge forces to fight.
Determined to assist General Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast during the Anti-Japanese War.
After joint negotiations between the Southwest Government, the Nanjing National Government and Northeastern General Zhang Xueliang, the Anti-Japanese War talks achieved great results. The Southwest Government promised to provide the second batch of 50,000 rifles, 1,000 heavy machine guns, and 1,000 heavy machine guns.
Five hundred light machine guns, three hundred cannons and huge military material support including supporting "medicine".
Of course, we also want to thank the Nanjing National Government headed by Mr. Chiang. They did not hold back in the face of the Anti-Japanese War and decided to allocate no less than the second batch of military aid materials to the Southwest to support General Zhang Xueliang in the war against Japan.
In addition, the national situation was difficult. In order to ensure that these anti-war materials were transported to the Northeast as quickly as possible, we specially invited reporters from famous newspapers including Southwest People's Daily, Shenbao, Guangzhou Daily, etc. to accompany the materials to the Northeast. General Zhang Xueliang of the Northeast also sent
Chief of Staff Rong Zhen came to the dock in person to receive and escort this batch of supplies.
The last thing I want to emphasize is that at a time of national crisis, whoever stands on the opposite side of the war of resistance, whoever stands on the opposite side of the people and the nation, then he is the enemy of the country, he is the sinner of the nation, and he will be infamous throughout the ages.
The national sinner of all ages..."
Chiang Kai-shek, who had never expected such a move from the Southwest. Even Rong Zhen's secret arrival in Shanghai was not informed by Chiang Kai-shek. He originally accused the Southwest of going beyond him to provide assistance to the Northeast. It was a show, and it was trying to sell itself to the people of the country and Zhang Xueliang. As a result, the Southwest
Fortunately, the north was heavily blockaded by the Japanese navy, and even ships flying Western flags could not escape boarding and inspection. As a result, the southwest "government" actually sent the supplies directly to Shanghai for landing, and not only directly asked the Northeast Army Rongzhen to receive them,
Reporters were also sent to accompany the delegation, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's plans were in vain.
At the dock, Foreign Minister Gu Weijun, who came to greet the Nanjing "government", urgently asked Chairman Chiang for instructions. After getting furious, Chairman Chiang finally issued an important order.
"...The National Government in Nanjing has always regarded protecting the country and bringing prosperity to all people as its own duty. Now that the southwest is determined to resist Japan, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek is also determined to resist the war. Before I came here, the Chairman had already given instructions. First, it must be done with
Send this batch of military supplies from the southwest to General Zhang Xueliang as quickly as possible. Second, in order to assist General Zhang Xueliang in the war, Chairman Chiang has ordered
Urgently allocate 20,000 new rifles, 150 artillery pieces and supporting medicine to General Zhang Xueliang's headquarters. In addition, since the Southwest Government has provided an additional 2 million yuan in anti-war funds, the Nanjing National Government will also allocate it again
A special military expenditure of two million oceans...Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has issued an order to Commander Chen Cheng of the 18th Army, ordering the entire army to move towards Jinzhou in preparation for any eventuality..."
Li Zongren was not angry. The task this time was to sway the Nanjing "Government". Unexpectedly, Bald Jiang also wanted to sway the Southwest "Government". However, Chairman Chiang's plan failed again. "Yes, the second choice of the Southwest 'Government'
A sum of 2 million yuan in southwest China, totaling about 3 million yuan in anti-war funds, was delivered to General Zhang Xueliang a week ago, Chief of Staff Rong Zhen can testify."
At this time, Gu Weijun's face looked ugly, and he thought to himself that the chairman had finally vomited blood to frame the southwest, but he didn't expect that his 2 million yuan had been sent to the northeast. However, from a personal point of view, Gu Weijun was still very happy.
, in any case, after this batch of materials and funds arrive in the Northeast, General Zhang Xueliang's war of resistance will receive a huge boost. And
Moreover, as the 18th Route Army marched towards Jinzhou, he could also feel that the Chairman of the Generalissimo had gradually tilted towards the war of resistance from the previous wavering. Speaking of which, I am afraid it was the credit of Commander Zhang from the southwest. This series of actions
, the chairman of the committee no longer dares to negotiate easily with the Japanese, but this is good, he does not have to compromise to negotiate with the Japanese.
Seeing that Zhang Shusheng was not angry, He Ning and the other two waved away the two girls who were close to him and ran to Zhang Shusheng's side, each of them holding Zhang Shusheng's arms.
He Ning was only in her twenties at this time, and Lu Yunyan was a little older, only 30 years old, which is the age when women are most attractive. Moreover, because Zhang Shusheng asked the two of them to take some so-called 'supplements' from time to time,
The two of them are simply outrageously young. If Zhang Shusheng looks thirty years old,
In this situation, the skin of the two of them is as delicate as water, and the spirit and spirit are exactly the same as that of a twenty-year-old woman. This matter is Zhang Shusheng's selfishness. No one wants his woman to lose her beauty early, so she originally took care of herself.
The two excellent girls are even more blessed to retain their youth.
"Be careful, it's New Year's Eve in two days. We were just preparing things to worship the Stove Lord." Lu Yunyan saw Mr. He Ning winking at him. He knew that she was too thin-skinned and didn't want to say anything.
I was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding between the two men, so I took the initiative to explain.
"Worship the Stove Lord? I thought what was going on? It's okay. Traditional things can be regarded as our Chinese characteristics." Regarding both feudal traditional culture and excessive religious superstition with a bad nature,
Zhang Shusheng still clearly distinguishes the difference between the two, and he is also very measured in formulating some relevant policies. "Others always ask for something when they worship. You two lack nothing, so what do you ask for?"
"As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the war of resistance will be successful."
"Two requests, two requests..."
Lu Yunyan smiled and said what the two of them had prepared long ago, but He Ning couldn't say it.
"What are you begging for? You are so weird, but you are not old enough." Zhang Shusheng lowered his head and kissed He Ning's cheek. After so many years of marriage, He Ning still looked like a young girl. It must be said that she was a
It's a miracle. Relatively speaking, Yun Yan is a charmer who looks to be in her twenties.
He Ning blushed and hid her head in Zhang Shusheng's arms. She almost let Zhang Shusheng hug her away and whispered, "Sister Yunyan said it. She, she said..."
"Be careful, sister He Ning wants to add another child to our Zhang family." Lu Yunyan smiled and spoke first. As a result, He Ning's face suddenly turned red and she retorted, "No, no way. Sister Yunyan, you
, you also said you wanted to have twins."
After quarreling for a long time, it turned out that this was the case, and Zhang Shusheng suddenly had a big headache. He had indeed doubted the issue of having children, why he hadn't gotten pregnant yet. He was 20 years old when he came to this era, and he was only 20 years old at that time.
It was 1915, and now it is 1932. My 'real' age should be 37. At this age, I should have had children.
However, in addition to being relatively mature, his true mental age is very young, and even his body is extremely young. Not long ago, when the little brat from Dream Machine gave him a physical examination, he said that he did not consider practicing martial arts or taking drugs.
Under the premise of some super-civilized secret "medicine", his biological age is equivalent to that of a 22-year-old young man.[
As for the problem of the delay in having a child, the little kid's analysis is that all of Zhang Shusheng's life essence has been used to transform his body. Now Zhang Shusheng has allowed him to practice some special martial arts and take the secret "medicine" of super civilization.
It is difficult to judge Zhang Shusheng’s future development.
Naturally, the result of the examination was to tell Zhang Shu not to worry, as he would give birth sooner or later, but he didn't know when.
Of course Zhang Shusheng is not in a hurry. The Dream Machine is his biggest support. As long as he can advance to a higher level, he has everything, whether it is martial arts, secret medicine, physical civilization, spiritual civilization, or cultivation civilization, as long as he can
He is willing to accept anyone who wants to become stronger. Therefore, after more than ten years, he himself does not know how powerful he is.
Moreover, in order to quietly develop his power, expand Chinese civilization, and upgrade his dream machine, he has never thought about becoming a martial arts master, because as a leader and a pioneer of a nation, these are not necessary. Of course, occasionally when he is upset,
, when the pressure is too great, he will go to the basement alone to play with steel.
"Don't worry, we are all still young. As long as we start from now on, we will definitely have children." After saying that, Zhang Shusheng didn't care about the two of them. When he saw the people in the room, he picked them up and threw them on the bed.
.
Regarding the fact that the January 28th Incident did not come, but the series of events involving the battle with the Japanese in Jinzhou, Northeast China, made him a little irritable. The pleasure of changing history was intertwined with the fear of not being able to completely control history.
At this time he needs to vent.
