***The Central Executive Meeting and the National Defense Meeting of the Military Commission are about to be held. Li Zongren, Zhu Peide, Liu Xiang, Liu Wenhui, Han Fuqu, He Jian, Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen and other princes and local officials have set out for Nanjing. Zhou Enlai, the representative of the Communist Party of China
, Ye Jianying and Zhu De will also attend the two sessions to discuss military and national affairs. Reporters from all over the world gathered in Nanjing to pay attention to China's latest response to the Sino-Japanese war.
At the same time, Soong Meiling initiated the organization of the Chinese Women's Association to commemorate the self-defense and anti-war soldiers, the seven leaders of the Shanghai National Salvation Association were released from prison, and the Nationalist Government took over the concessions of the Communist Party of China all over the country... All of these indicate that the national resistance war will become the foundation of China's anti-Japanese war.
National theme.
Unlike the commotion and noise outside, the special care ward of Nanjing Central General Hospital remains extremely quiet.
Lao Shoudao sat in front of the hospital bed, felt An Yi's pulse, and nodded repeatedly:
"The boy is lucky and will not die. The reason why he is unconscious is that he suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, which led to a concussion, intracranial injury and slight bleeding. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured after rescue in time, but the human brain is the most
The fragile parts are also the most difficult to recover and must have a cycle of self-regulation and recovery; secondly, the internal organs that have also been violently impacted need to be nursed back to their proper positions, and sleep is the best way to recover; thirdly, the meridians are affected by
Damage, poor blood flow, leading to insufficient blood supply, sleep can delay the needs of various organs, which is also a means of self-protection for the body; fourth, he was too tired some time ago and was extremely mentally weak, and now he is in the process of making up for it.
After a period of recuperation, as the various parts of the body recover, he will wake up on his own, and may continue to sleep until the body can fully bear the daily consumption."
Yang Bin looked disappointed: "I originally wanted to exchange views on the current situation with the commander before leaving, but now it seems there is no chance."
The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The war is burning on the line between Pingjin and Tianjin. Huzi led his fifth legion in a bloody battle. At this time, you should take good care of the Hanzhong camp, help the immigrants going south to cross the border smoothly, and increase the recruitment of new soldiers.
And the intensity of training, which can replenish the consumption on the front line in time, is the best support for the boy. I will return to Xufu later, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with, especially the eastward transfer of the two engineering divisions...
..."
Yang Bin said in surprise: "Has the engineering corps been fully restored?"
The old man nodded: "In order to meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, we have been gradually recovering since January this year. Due to the impact of the drought, the number of refugees has doubled, and our recruitment speed has also accelerated. By the middle of last month, we were all full. The Engineering Corps Headquarters
The five divisions under its jurisdiction are all 10,000 men retained before disarmament. They have a firm stance, excellent skills, and good food habits.
It was reorganized on the basis of a hard-working and motivated backbone, equipped with a large number of modern engineering equipment and transport vehicles, and basically had all the characteristics of the pontoon force. It was later developed by our Xufu Research Institute and produced by the tractor factory
New construction machinery such as bulldozers and excavators will also be incorporated into the two engineering divisions transferred eastward."
Yang Bin said happily: "With this brand new engineering force, our defense fortification construction speed will be accelerated exponentially, and the little *** will have a hard time in the future."
"No matter how good the weapon is, no matter how advanced the construction machinery is, it still depends on who is operating it. If it is in the hands of mediocrity, no matter how much wealth we have, it will be lost." Lao Shoudao suddenly turned his head and looked at An Yi
With slightly trembling eyelids, a smile appeared on his face: "Boy, are you awake?"
An Yi slowly opened his eyes, focusing on the old Taoist face, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Uncle, how long have I been asleep again?"
Lao Shoudao consoled him and said, "You should have a good rest now. Why are you thinking about all this?"
"Oh, I can't worry about the Beards and them!"
An Yi sighed: "I had another dream just now. I dreamed about Xiaodouzi, Qu Tongyuan, Fang Jing, Liu Changying and the others. We drank together and how we felt after saying goodbye. Later, they suddenly interrupted the gathering and told me
He said that Huzi and the others were in danger and asked me to notify Huzi and the others to evacuate immediately. I felt anxious and woke up."
"This is called thinking and dreaming. You are too concerned about the war in North China..."
Lao Shoudao grabbed An Yi's hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, at least until now, the situation in North China is relatively stable. I haven't heard of any major changes... You have a good rest and take good care of your body.
Okay, everything will be fine."
An Yi turned his head and looked around: "Chu'er, where are Jieyun and Sister Qian?"
"Your sister Qian and Chu'er asked me to go back to the Xu Mansion. Things at home are so complicated now that they can't function normally without them. Boy, do you know how much the Xu Mansion's research institute has every day as the wartime economy starts up?
Have the results been released? Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about aircraft engine technology. As we are in Germany,
Experts and scholars who have studied in the United States and worked in relevant scientific research institutions for more than two years have returned to China one after another. Our engine technology has made rapid progress. At the beginning of the year, our power research institute just developed a liquid-cooled 1,150-horsepower engine. Late last month, our engine
The Second Institute of Dynamics is under the leadership of Professor Wang Gongyun who has returned to China.
Under his leadership, a 1,450-horsepower air-cooled engine was developed. All these research results must be transformed into products in a timely manner, which requires unified coordination among various departments. It would not be possible without Gong Yatou and Chu'er. In addition, the Mechanical Research Institute has already developed the mosquito-type engine.
The sample drawings of the fighter aircraft production line have been produced, and the Southern Sichuan Machinery General Factory is adding
They are working overtime for production and assembly, striving to deliver the goods to the Syrian aircraft factory as soon as possible and produce this kind of fighter aircraft as early as possible. The construction of the aircraft factory building and production workshop also requires planning and coordination. What do you think I can do if I don't drive them back? Two of them.
The girl is crying, which makes people feel distressed, but there is nothing we can do..."
"Chu'er, Sister Qian..." An Yi murmured to the two women, with a bitter look on his face: "I owe them too much..."
The old Taoist nodded: "It's good that you know. Jieyun, I will stay with you. The children at home will be watched over by Aunt Ma and Aunt Wu for the time being, so there won't be any trouble. At noon, your wife will come to the hospital to visit you.
Seeing Jieyun's haggard appearance, I felt so distressed that I forcibly dragged her back to the garden."
Yang Bin looked at his watch and asked the old Taoist: "Uncle Tao, I want to talk to the commander."
Lao Shoudao stood up: "You guys talk, I'll go arrange the trip. I have to rush back to Xufu today. From the end of the year to now, there has been no rain in Sichuan, and the drought is getting more and more serious. If the autumn harvest is gone,
Our grain warehouse will have to be reduced by at least half. Now that international grain prices are skyrocketing, our production and research also require money. We can't do it without careful planning!"
"Uncle, thank you." An Yi smiled gratefully.
"What are we uncles and nephews talking about?" Lao Shoudao rolled his eyes at An Yi and then walked out of the ward.
Yang Bin sat on An Yi's bedside: "Commander, Xia Jian, Hu Tou, Ye Cheng, and Cheng Guang were all here yesterday. It's hard for me to say anything, but now I want to ask why you still refuse to mobilize the 24th Army.
The 26th Army or the New Second Army will go to North China to participate in the war? If our three armies are all pressed forward, the *** people will definitely not be able to hold on, and they may not have reached the front line of Shanhaiguan by now."
An Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I know you all must have this question, okay, I will solve this mystery today. Lao Yang, do you know? Our supplies in North China are becoming more and more difficult now...
..Yes, our Anjia Army has advanced weapons and equipment and fierce artillery fire, but the price in exchange is a serious shortage of logistics. Now the entire theater is staring at our Baoding Military Station eagerly, wondering how we have so little wealth in southern Sichuan.
How many materials are needed to open up the supply?
"Perhaps you want to say that we can conquer North China in one battle and even annihilate all the Japanese troops in the pass. Wouldn't we not have to worry about logistical pressure? But is this possible? We must not underestimate the Japanese army's determination to resist, ***
After all, there are hundreds of millions of people in the country plus its expatriates, and tens of millions of people have received military training. They can take advantage of it at any time.
**The world's top three powerful navies sent troops to North China and continued to fight the war. Just imagine, if the war did not develop according to our expectations, the armored vehicles, tanks and transport trucks we drove to North China would be out of fuel, and the artillery would be out.
We have no artillery shells, no bullets for rifles and light and heavy machine guns, and the soldiers are hungry. What can we use to fight the Japanese?
"To put it bluntly, when fighting in North China, our logistics supply lines are several times farther than those of the Japanese. The Japanese army can continuously purchase arms and food from all over the world through ships, transport them to various ports in North China, and even directly
Transported by railway from Northeast China and North Korea
, supply supplies nearby. On the other hand, we have to walk nearly a thousand miles from Xufu to Wuhan and Nanjing, and then from Wuhan and Nanjing to the front lines of Pingjin and Tianjin, another thousand miles. Alas, Lao Yang, to be honest, it’s not me
We don’t want to fight, but the current conditions are restricting our hands and feet!”
Yang Bin's face turned red and he lowered his head: "Commander, I understand..."
An Yi shook his head: "Sichuan experienced an earthquake last summer and a snowstorm in winter. This year there will be another drought. This thief is so cruel. Thinking about how to consume our national power, many of our supplies are used here.
Going up there has tied up countless energy."
Yang Bin said ashamedly: "Xiaoyi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have misunderstood you. I thought..."
"Do you think I respect myself as a soldier and want to be a warlord?"
An Yi asked with a smile, and then comforted: "Lao Yang, don't think too much, we have done our best and have a clear conscience! In any case, we have achieved our goal of using the Ping-Tianjin defense line to consume a large amount of the Japanese people's national power.
After this series of battles, the Japanese army lost at least three or four divisions, two to three hundred fighter planes, and a lot of arms and supplies.
"Our purpose is to use a small number of troops to carry out the most resolute resistance against the Japanese army in North China, and then deal with them after we have taken a breath. Next, we will build a large number of military depots along the Pinghan-Hankou Railway to store supplies.
Once the time is right, all my ministries can march northward."
Yang Bin's blood surged when he heard this, and he nodded heavily.
"By the way, Lao Yang, is there any new news from Huzi? I'm very worried about them!" An Yi asked anxiously.
Yang Bin said: "Not yet, but you have to ask Lao Shen for the specific situation. Now all the telegrams sent to you are in his hands. His understanding of the battle situation is probably not much less than Zhao Rui."
Saying that Mr. Cao and Mr. Cao were here, Shen Fengdao just opened the door and walked in. When he saw An Yi woke up, a hint of joy appeared on his calm face, and he quickly walked to the bedside: "Commander, What a great victory for the Air Force!”
"Oh? Another good news?" An Yi opened his eyes in surprise, "Tell me about it..."
Shen Fengdao nodded, and immediately explained the detailed battle report sent by the Southwest Air Force Command, and finally added: "The loss of Japanese fighter planes this time is immeasurable. I don't think they will take advantage of us again for a long time." ”
An Yi pondered for a while and said decisively: "Immediately call Commander Zhou Zhirou of the Central Air Force. Our Second Regiment of the Southwest Air Force will be temporarily stationed at Hangzhou Airport. Please cooperate with me. I also ordered Xia Jian to immediately send a regiment to Hangzhou and stationed in Hangzhou." Airport to ensure the absolute safety of the airport; Major General Zhang Pu, commander of the Second Air Regiment, transferred the entire regiment from Nanchang Airport to Hangzhou Airport, waiting for orders at any time to launch bombings of Japanese military airports in Taiwan; Peng Zuliang, commander of the First Air Regiment , immediately prepare for the arrival of our strategic bombers; Major General Guang Ganbuchan, commander of the Seventh Air Regiment, has transferred the entire regiment to Nanchang Airport..."
Shen Fengdao quickly recorded the order, turned around and was about to leave. An Yi added at this time, "Call to Hu Jialin of the Fifth Army to immediately dispatch a unit to help the Second Army defend Sanhe County. There must be no mistakes!"
