Part III Blood and Fire War of Resistance

"The battlefield in the north and south of the Yangtze River is wide, and no one who is respected cannot be appointed." Zhuang Jihua said tentatively, Chiang Kai-shek's expressionless face seemed to be full of worries: "Also, how do the powers of these two command centers be divided from the base camp?"

"It is mainly to coordinate the operations of several major war zones, especially the 1253 war zones," Chiang Kai-shek said: "These three war zones are closely connected." When he said this, his tone changed: "In the Cultural Revolution, Kong Xiangxi sent a message from the United States and Roosevelt decided to hold a summit meeting between China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. As the wife said just now, it will definitely discuss the war against Japan and the post-war plan. It has not been decided when this meeting will be held. I have been thinking about what you said just now, will Roosevelt sacrifice our interests? Will the Soviet Union and Russia have the ability to launch an attack on both sides at the same time?"

Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's suspicious expression, Zhuang Jihua sighed slightly in his heart. In the face of interests, ideology is not the most important. He thought for a little while: "At present, Germany is still very strong, but in Stalingrad, the failure of the German army is a foregone conclusion. I think this battle will become the turning point of the Soviet-German war. After this battle, the Soviet Union's situation is getting better and better...

With the victory of the Soviet army, the United States and Britain will definitely land in France, and the German army will fall into two fronts and their strength will become weaker and weaker. At this time, Stalin will be able to find him and consider fighting against Japan."

"From Roosevelt's governance after he came to power, he was relatively moderate to the Soviet Union, especially after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, he quickly responded, and the assistance to the Soviet Union, both in quantity and speed, was ahead of us. The United States could not invest a large number of ground troops in Asia. He needed allies to provide ground troops to eliminate a large number of Japanese troops. Only us and the Soviet Union had this ability. So if we could not show the strength to defeat the Month Army, Ross would exchange our interests for Stalin's war against Japan without hesitation. The Soviet army baptized by the European war was by no means able to resist. I think that if the Soviet army dispatched one million to one.5 million, it would completely eliminate the Kwantung Army and occupy our northeast and North Korea."

The Soviet army held Stalingrad for four months and started a counterattack in late November, surrounding nearly 300,000 German Sixth Army, turning the entire battle situation around in one fell swoop.

Chiang Kai-shek was still skeptical. He did not believe that the United States would sacrifice Chinese interests to please the Soviet Union. After all, China is currently very determined: "To avoid all this, I think we must seize the Northeast before Stalin. Otherwise, even if we use diplomatic means to recover the Northeast in the future, the price will be very high, for example."

"Well, this situation must be avoided." Chiang Kai-shek finally accepted Zhuang Jihua's judgment: "This time the fifth war zone was attacked, and the morale of the entire war zone was low and it must be rectified. Li Zongren is a good man and he cannot bear this heavy responsibility. You go to the fifth war zone to serve as commander, but before that, you go to Mianzhu first. Is the mechanized army's training divination as Stilwell said, without any rules?"

The stone in Zhuang Jihua's heart finally landed, and he got the position he wanted. Obviously, this was related to Soong Mei-ling. More importantly, what Chiang Kai-shek said was to rectify so that he could make personnel adjustments in the fifth war zone.

Jihua tried his best to control his mood. Chiang Kai-shek looked at him and nodded slightly. It seemed that Yang Yongtai was right. Zhuang Jihua was eager to get this position. "Don't be anxious first, go home first and accompany your parents. The order will be given to you at that time." "Thank you for your care."

The teachers and students smiled at each other, as if nothing had happened. Chiang Kai-shek brought the topic to the northwest again, and Zhuang Jihua then made a brief revision of what he said to Lin Wei, and insisted on solving the Xinjiang issue now, and at the same time suggested adjusting the personnel of the Eighth War Zone.

Zhuang Jihua maintained his usual caution and only made suggestions. As for whom he replaced, he did not mention the candidate and asked Chiang Kai-shek to choose. "Who do you think is more appropriate to serve as the commander of the Eighth War Zone?" Chiang Kai-shek asked naturally and surrendered.

Zhuang Jihua hesitated, and he didn't know if this was a trap set by Chiang Kai-shek on purpose, but in the end he still said: "Students think Shoushan and Fu Zuoyi are good candidates, but their prestige doesn't seem to be very strong."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "I know that Zhu Shaoliang's political reputation in Gansu is not good, but he has been in Gansu for nearly ten years and has made great contributions to the central government's control of the northwest. He also understands the northwest. Who should replace him? This candidate must be carefully considered."

Zhuang Jihua then confirmed that Chiang Kai-shek was sincerely asking for his own opinions, but he mentioned Lin Wei and made friends with his neighbors without authorization, which was Chiang Kai-shek's taboo.

A lunch carefully arranged by Soong Mei-ling finally came to an end. She and Liu Yinshu kept chatting in the small garden. Seeing Yaya and Momo playing in the garden, Liu Yinshu was nervous until she didn't get better after the meal. Soong Mei-ling asked about the situation at home, and Liu Yinshu also answered truthfully.

After Liu Yinshu returned to Chongqing, she tried to return to school to teach again. Zhuang Laishun still went to the field every day. It seemed that his greatest interest was to fiddle with farm work. Zhuang Li's greatest interest was to take Momo. If Momo left her gaze for five minutes, she began to worry. In her spare time, the ladies in the rear often visited each other, including Du Yuming's wife, Song Xiya's wife, Lan Yundong's wife, and Li Zhilong's wife. They organized a women's sewing meeting together, and got some raw materials from the National Rescue Association, and made military uniforms and military shoes together.

When Zhuang Jihua came to the small garden, the two were having a happy conversation, but they didn't notice his arrival. Yaqian saw him first, and said, "Dad, alarmed both of them." Zhuang Jihua looked touched with a touch of emotion. I don't know whether he said Soong Mei-ling was talking to him or to invite their family to visit. "In the Cultural Revolution, I like Yaya and Momo very much. If you have time, let them play more." Soong Mei-ling touched Yaya's head lovingly.

"As long as the teacher's wife is not annoyed, I'm fine." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile, and Soong Mei-ling laughed slightly: "I think you are the boss at home, and you will give everything to Ah Shu." Zhuang Jihua didn't refute. He bent down and picked Momo up and said, "Grandma asked you to come and play often, but Momo bit her finger and asked, "Can I bring Huzi and Sasha and the others?"

Liu Yinshu laughed, and Soong Mei-ling also laughed: "This little guy is quite good at making friends. Of course, you can, just bring them to play."

Momo was laughing, while Liu Yinshu looked at Zhuang Jihua in a very embarrassing way, but Zhuang Jihua didn't care about his nose under the lemon: "You're a little too much." Liu Yinshu gently pulled Zhuang Jihua's hand: "Madam is so kind, we've been very disturbed today.

Zhuang Jihua wanted to laugh but shook his head lovingly. Soong Mei-ling also looked at her with pity, but her mouth was very enthusiastic: "I am actually a person who likes the excitement, and this place is too pure. Zhuang Jihua nodded with a smile: "As long as the wife agrees, A Shu can take care of her children at any time.

On the way home, Zhuang Jihua's love was extremely happy. He hummed a song along the way, and Yaya and Momo sang together from time to time, and the carriage was filled with joy.

Zhang Zizhong's funeral was grand and solemn. When the boat carrying his body arrived at Chaotianmen, 200,000 people in Chongqing gathered in the wharf. Chiang Kai-shek personally boarded the ship and cried. Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang, Long Yun, and Xu Yongchang carried the coffin and commemorated in the newly built spiritual fortress square. The venue was solemn and dignified, the garden was like ripples, and the spirit banners were floating in the cold wind.

Chiang Kai-shek personally preached the sacrifice, read General Zhang Zizhong's lifelong achievements, and sent a telegram to the entire army to commend him. Lin Sen read out the order of the President of the National Government, and listed the General Zhang Zizhong's tablet in the National Government Martyrs' Temple, ranking first.

"….. General Zhang Xuchen, and all the soldiers who sacrificed for the country, the nation and the people in this war that concerns the life and death of the country and the nation, are our role models! They are the pride of our nation! Their great achievements! They will worship future generations in a thousand years!"

Lin Sen, with white beards floating, burst into tears. He even ignored the tears he shed, and led the way to shout to the end of the War of Resistance. 200,000 people responded in unison, and even Zhuang Jihua was infected and shouted.

The Martyrs' Temple was after the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The National Government passed a resolution requiring all counties to build Martyrs' Temples and place tablets of the fallen soldiers in the eastern expedition and northern expedition to suppress bandits. However, it was mainly to place the fallen soldiers in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The officers waiting to be rated will enter the Martyrs' Temple of the National Government. Previously, Wang Mingzhang, Li Jiayu and others entered the Martyrs' Temple of the National Government.

Zhang Zizhong's spiritual platform stood in the spiritual fortress for three days. Hundreds of thousands of people came from all over the place to say goodbye to the general. On the third day, before the public memorial was over, Chiang Ching-kuo personally led the Sanqingzhu headquarters and the National Rescue Association of Southwest United University to take an oath in front of the spirit. "We swear to the heroic spirits of the predecessors, persist in the war of resistance! drive the invaders out of the country! Rebuild China! Never give up until the goal is achieved!" "We swear! Shed the last drop of blood for the country! For national rejuvenation!" Thousands of fists were raised high, and thousands of young faces were filled with blood and excitement.

After Chiang Ching-kuo took the oath, he was about to announce the oath, and two young people of this year rushed out of the team. They quickly jumped onto the altar and opened a banner. Chiang Ching-kuo fixed his eyes, with a few big blood-red words on it: "One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops!"

"Students, General Zhang has left, but General Zhang's career has not been successful yet! We, as Chinese youth, should take over his gun! We can no longer hide in school or class. We should pick up the gun and go to the front line to eliminate the Japanese pirates who occupied our hometown, killed our parents, and bullied our sisters! Students, go to the front line!" "You don't see, Hanzhong Army, the weak crowns are requesting long tassels; you don't see, the class is Dingyuan, and the light cavalry in the terrible realm urges the battle clouds! Men should be in serious danger, how can the Confucian crowns lose their lives? Moreover, the country is in danger, and the feathered edicts are fighting for no less! Abandon my old writings, and I am proud of my wartime chariots, and I call out more than 100,000 comrades, singing war songs and joining the army.

The singing voices grew from small to large, from weak to strong, and the students who participated in the oath expanded to the citizens who watched the sacrifice nearby. Tens of thousands of people sang in unison, and the singing voices gathered and echoed over the city and lasted for a long time.

Jiang Ching-kuo stood on the altar and swore that something might happen suddenly. He was a little dazed and didn't know what to do. The high singing woke him up. The two classmates walked up to him a few steps and handed the blood letter in their hands to him. "Director Jiang, we ask to join the army!"

Jiang Ching-kuo calmed down and reached out to take it. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind: "Okay, Director Jiang will report to the Central Committee and will definitely meet your requirements."
