"Dividing the cake, this is a good metaphor. If you analyze it carefully, with the current strength of our Xuebing Army, it is enough to dominate the world and dominate Asia. If we can integrate the national resources and the national armed forces, tsk tsk
, I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it." Jiang Shuren said, his eyes were shining and his face was full of energy.
Jiang Shuren has actually faded out of the core circle of Xuebingjun in the past two years, but his financial ability is indeed far better than others. Ouyang Yun considered that after entering Chongqing, Guangzhou will become the rear area supporting the front line, and he must have someone who can control the overall situation.
Only after the Guangzhou Incident did Jiang Shuren show his behavior since the Guangzhou Incident, could he be reinstated.
"But Chiang Kai-shek has to be careful. He has been operating in Chongqing for so many years, and he has single-handedly promoted the senior generals of the Central Army. I always feel that this is a hidden danger." Jiang Guangnai still looked worried,
"Chiang Kai-shek has made great contributions to the country, so I am willing to respect him. However, if he dares to block the progress of history, then I don't mind being a villain. Mr. Lin gave up the position of president without any complaints based on the overall plan."
, I’m just thinking about how to repay him.”
June 11, 1943, is destined to become an important day that will leave a mark in the history of China in this time and space. On this day, the 100,000-strong Xuebing Army marched under the former commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, the Xuebing Army Special Zone.
Led by General Ouyang Yun, Director of Appeasement, now Premier of the State Council, and Minister of Defense, they marched into Chongqing in a mighty manner.
At this time, the dark clouds of war were shrouding Chongqing, and almost every corner of the city was filled with people fleeing. Among these refugees, some wanted to flee from Chongqing to Yunnan and Guizhou, and some fled to Chongqing from the front lines such as Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Because as early as when Chiang Kai-shek made Chongqing his capital, people from all over the country fled to Chongqing. This caused Chongqing’s population to grow explosively, making Chongqing’s population exceed 20 million. As a mountainous area, Chongqing has not been a food producing area since ancient times.
Most of the grain sector relies on Chengdu and other Sichuan grain-producing areas. Now, Chengdu and other cities are occupied by the Japanese army or are undergoing fierce fighting. Even if there is food, it cannot be transported. Chongqing suddenly fell into a food crisis. As early as Song Ziwen arrived in Guangzhou
The next day, Ouyang Yun ordered He Zhengsheng to urgently transport a batch of grain to Chongqing. However, compared with the population base of 20 million, a few hundred tons of grain was simply a drop in the bucket. Moreover, the government would definitely give priority to supplying the army.
Therefore, this measure did not alleviate the food shortage in Chongqing.
One hundred thousand troops, the leading force is the aviation force directly under the Air Force General Headquarters led by Tielin Fei. One division of Golden Eagles leads the way, followed by two divisions of air fortresses, then three divisions of Baiji Dolphins, and finally
The two divisions of Tiger Shark and Chinese Sturgeon, the Air Force went first, firstly to protect Chongqing's airspace. Chongqing's current population density is too high, and every air raid launched by the Japanese army can cause a humanitarian disaster. Moreover, in the current war, the Air Force is
The courage of the infantry and the air force going first can also encourage the troops on the front line. Finally, the seventy-two air fortresses of the two divisions can carry more than 500 tons of food at a time, which will play a role in alleviating the food shortage in Chongqing.
Ouyang Yun moved with the ground troops, and more than 90,000 infantrymen marched in mechanized form. For this march, the General Headquarters of the Cadet Army collected more than 3,000 trucks from the private sector, more than 10,000 trucks, and 2,000 trucks.
A combat vehicle and a thousand artillery carriages are heading west along the Tui-Chongqing Highway. This is a huge challenge to the logistics department of the army. In order to meet the fuel consumption of the army, the Ganzhou Aviation Corps and the Chongzuo Aviation Corps, in addition to reserving necessary
The bombers maintained war duty, and the others all participated in oil transportation missions. At the same time, the guerrilla forces in Jiangxi and Guangxi brought their own dry food into Guizhou to help Ji Xingwen's General Political Department collect airdrop supplies.
When Ouyang Yun originally planned the route to Chongqing, quite a few people suggested that he could travel to Yunnan, which has better conditions, and that he should travel in batches. This way, although it would take longer, the logistics department would not be under too much pressure.
Ouyang Yun insisted on his decision. When talking about the matter with Jiang Guangnai, he explained: "Rescuing troops is like putting out fire. The Japanese army is approaching Chongqing. I am not worried about Chongqing's loss, but I am worried about the panic caused by it.
I heard that quite a number of refugees have fled into places such as Guizhou and Yunnan. Yunlong has even set up obstacles on the main roads connecting them to prevent refugees from entering Yunnan. Therefore, the sooner we enter Chongqing, the better, and we must create a big momentum.
, so as to rebuild the confidence of the Chinese people."
Jiang Guangnai will serve as the chief of general staff of the headquarters, so he will follow Ouyang Yun into Chongqing. Along the way, he can see unkempt and disheveled refugees almost everywhere, and the trees on both sides of the road have almost all been stripped of their bark. Jiang Guangnai is extremely emotional.
, every time he sees a child with dull eyes and a big belly, he can't help but shed tears. Jiang Guangnai has much more experience than Ouyang Yun, and he knows that there is only one possibility for this kind of situation, and that is that he must have eaten something to satisfy his hunger.
Things that are not easy to digest, "The former Prime Minister once said that young people are the hope of China, but look at...what a shame the children are. It is a shame for us in power to let them fall to this point." Jiang Guangnai said to Ouyang Yunyun,
The former Prime Minister Jiang Guangnai referred to was Sun Yat-sen. At this point, he no longer doubted Ouyang Yun's decision to march westward, and launched the "Save a Grain, Save a Hope" campaign throughout the army, calling on all officers and soldiers to eat less every day.
A ration, he used it to rescue the dying refugees. Later, he even stepped forward to form a boy scout army to gather the children he saw along the way and organize them into a separate army to facilitate centralized feeding, which made Ouyang Yun
What makes me scared is that when the army arrived in Chongqing, the number of Boy Scouts actually exceeded 60,000. At least one-fifth of these 60,000 were orphans. In this era of war and chaos, and the people were short of food, these more than 10,000
Ouyang Yun couldn't even imagine how many of the orphans would survive in the end. After all, people have been competing for food since ancient times. What he didn't expect was that Jiang Guangnai's original good deeds won him benevolence and righteousness for the Xuebing Army.
The reputation of the army made the people of Chongqing quickly identify with the Xuebing Army. This can be regarded as a good reward.
When setting off, Ouyang Yun had thought about asking Mu Jiandie to organize an event into the city to strengthen his military power, but what he saw along the way affected his mood. He lost interest in these forms and instead began to think about how to resolve the food crisis in Chongqing.
What he didn't expect was that although the people of Chongqing were all hungry, they were still paying close attention to the war. They actually spontaneously organized a grand welcome event. When he received the report from Mu Jiandie, he learned that
After this incident, he made an impromptu decision to postpone the air force's entry into the city and instead had the air force and army enter the city together, in order to build up the confidence of the people in Chongqing to resist the war.
