One...five days ago...Chairman Chiang Kai-shek issued a "In fact, the work of Wuhan retreat began twenty days ago. After Tianjia Town was lost, Wuhan began to evacuate citizens, and Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant began to move to the southwest earlier. All this shows that Wuhan retreat is part of the Chinese government's plan.

The war lasted for two years, and many Western military experts have been speculating when the Chinese government would seek peace. They thought it was three months during the Battle of Honghu. After Nanjing fell, they thought it was two months. After Xuzhou fell, they speculated again that Wuhan is now lost, and the diplomatic community believes that China will seek peace from Japan soon.

But diplomats are wrong. They have forgotten the root of their mistakes in China over the past two years, and the Western method is not suitable for China.

The Chinese had long foreseeed that Wuhan would be lost, so they built their industrial bases in the southwest, rather than Hubei and Hunan, which have more convenient transportation.

The Japanese army occupied Wuhan and Guangzhou, but the war would not stop because of this. General Jiang Baili told the Chinese at the beginning of his national defense theory that the way to defeat Japan is very simple, "Whether you win or lose, as long as you don't make peace with it." The Chinese established the idea of ​​long-term war from the beginning.

In the Battle of Nanjing, they abandoned Nanjing after destroying 100,000 Japanese troops; in the Battle of Xuzhou, they destroyed 120,000 Japanese troops and gave up their pursuit; in the counterattack of Zaoyang, they destroyed the Japanese division of the Three Kingdoms, but gave up continuing the attack, so we can clarify China's strategy.

To lure the enemy into depth, use China's vast strategic space, and consume the Japanese army. They did not expect to defeat the Japanese army tomorrow. The victory they envisioned was five years, ten years later.

The Japanese won again. While attacking Wuhan, they also took advantage of the situation to capture Guangzhou. Tactically speaking, this was a brilliant victory, but such a victory was probably the last time.

The Japanese army won victory in China step by step and entered mainland China step by step, but strategically, they were always led by the Chinese. Every time they had the idea of ​​returning home after fighting this battle, but every time they disappointed them, and the war ended forever.

What I worry about is not China's determination to resist, but the Western society implemented the Munich conspiracy in the East. In the late period of the War of Defense of Wuhan, the news that the British blocked the Yunnan-Burma Highway. This news hit the Chinese more than the fall of Tianjia Town Guangzhou. We don't have to hide the weakness of China's own industrial capabilities, nor do we have to hide the inferiority of the squadron's equipment. It is because of this that they need more Western assistance. The British are helping the Japanese.

In the two years of war, the Chinese alone resisted the powerful Japanese army. If China was defeated, would it be in the interests of the West? Will the British feel safe for this? The answer is obvious.

There is only one country that can change the situation now. The great United States of America, President Roosevelt should take action immediately and interfere with the British's actions, and tell China with a firm attitude that the United States has not abandoned them, and that the people of the United States are paying attention to their heroic battle.

,”

Weber read it carefully, then put it in his bag with satisfaction, then put the typewriter into the suitcase, then pushed open the car door and came out, and when he came out, he saw Logan and Charles having a happy conversation with a lieutenant general.

Weber did not interrupt immediately but looked around habitually. The two jeeps behind were so eye-catching in the long convoy, especially the jeep with machine guns, with the black muzzle. The soldiers behind looked around with vigilant eyes.

"General, I said that the Japanese army is attacking Yingshan Anlu and want to surround our retreat. Can we be ahead of them?"

"Of course there is no problem. As far as I know, there are troops who have already blocked them, so of course we should move quickly." Hong Junqi said calmly.

After defeating the 47th Army, the Japanese army headed south again. The 103th Army rushed to occupy the garden in front of them. This move was known by the Japanese army. The Japanese army immediately turned to Yingshan and Anlu, intending to bypass the garden to occupy Jingshan, Yingcheng, Jianli, and cut off the squadron's retreat road to the west. However, since the 103th Army had arrived at the garden, Sun Liren would not sit idly by and watch the Japanese army move. Hong Junqi's only worry was that the 103th Army was too consumed in the early stage and could not stop the Fifth Division.

Before the road was loose, Charles saw Webber coming out and greeted, "Weber, your masterpiece is finished, come out and have some breathing. This is General Hong Junqi."

Weber was delighted and walked over with his suit. Hong Junqi stretched out his hand to him: "You are Mr. Weber. I have heard from the Cultural Revolution talk about you, and he said you are a friend of the Chinese people."

"I've heard of the general for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to interview the general. I'm so lucky to meet him by chance today." Weber had long wanted to interview Hong Junqi. He had been interviewing on the front line for a long time and knew very well that the logistics of the squadron was very difficult. Hong Junqi, who was seated as a logistics commander, was of course one of the most important figures in the base camp. In the Huangpu system, Hong Junqi was not a general, but was trusted by Chiang Kai-shek, so he handed over such an important position as the Logistics Command to him, making him one of the earliest Huangpu generals to be promoted to the center.

Among all Chinese generals, the most difficult one to interview is Hong Junqi. Hong Junqi Technology 7 Bridge and Stove Base Camp is always busy everywhere. He can be seen in Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, Nanchang, and Zhengzhou. His plane was in danger several times, so that Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to be banned from flying.

Logan and Charles noticed at the same time that Hong Junqi reached out to Webber, but did not reach out to them. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they could only hear them greet each other.

"Are you writing an article for the newspaper?" Hong Junqi asked, Weber nodded, and Hong Junqi said again: "Can you read it?"

"Of course, please correct me." Weber turned around and opened the car door and took out the article and handed it to Hong Junqi. After Hong Junqi looked carefully, he said calmly: "There is one thing you are wrong. Even without the assistance of the United States and Britain, we can defeat the Japanese. Blocking the Yunnan-Burma Highway has caused us difficulties, but we are prepared."

"I have no doubt about this." Weber said solemnly, then turned to the jeep behind: "The Gupu car is a proof that anyone who thought that China could build such an off-road vehicle a few years ago."

"This is American technology, the technology we bought from the United States." Hong Junqi laughed without any concealment: "We didn't believe it when the Cultural Revolution told us to build cars, but it turned out to be a result. Now we can build thousands of trucks every year, but the production of such jeeps is still insufficient."

Of course, Hong Junqi didn't know that the real jeep would have to wait a year before it appeared. Zhuang Jihua ripened it in advance and then transplanted it to China.

Weber and Charles smiled slightly. The diplomatic community had long speculated that Chongqing's industrial technology came from the United States. Now it has been confirmed by Hong Junqi, but they just don't know how they operated it specifically.

"When the Japanese occupy Wuhan, where will they attack next?" Weber asked.

"Then you have to guess, Xiangkui, Changsha, Yichang, and consolidate the periphery of Wuhan." Hong Junqi's tone was a little regretful. The attack on the Japanese army this time was very heavy. The victory of the Nanxun Line on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Fujinshan blocking battle in the Dabie Mountains, and the Qiantai Battle all caused major damage to the Japanese army, but they were unable to turn the situation around and finally had to give up Wuhan regretfully.

"Can the Japanese army launch an attack on three targets at the same time?" Weber asked with some concern: "If Yichang can't defend, we may go to Chongqing."

"There is no need to worry about this. According to the Japanese's usual practices, if they occupied Guangzhou in the south, the next step would be to open up the Guangdong-Hankou Railway, so the possibility of going south to attack Changsha is the greatest, followed by Xiangfan, Suixian, Zaoyang, and northwestern Hubei; the Japanese must occupy this area to keep Wuhan's security; finally Yichang, which is the gateway to Sichuan, and capturing this place can threaten Sichuan, that is, Chongqing."

Hong Junqi's tone was calm, but Weber and Charles Rogan rushed to a strong sense of confidence. We were prepared and we would defeat them here.

Weber sighed softly: "In the eyes of Western military observers, China's best warrior general is General Zhuang Jihua. The fifth war zone suffered repeated failures in this battle of defense in Wuhan. The main reason was that Chairman Chiang Kai-shek transferred General Zhuang from the fifth war zone. If he were there, Wuhan could be defended this time, just like defending Nanjing and Xuzhou."

Hong Junqi shook his head after thinking carefully: "You can't think so. General Bai Chongxi was commanding the late battle in the Fifth War Zone. His command ability is not bad than that of the Cultural Revolution. The main reason for the failure of the Wuhan Defense War is that the Japanese army's strength is stronger than we imagined. Our strength is still insufficient. Giving up Wuhan does not mean failure. The Japanese army's front line is longer and our logistics line is shorter. In addition, we are strengthening industrial construction in the southwest. As long as three or four more people are gone, we will have enough industrial foundation to revitalize the troops. That is when we counterattack. Once we launch a counterattack, we will stop until Japan."

"General, we heard that someone in your government is advocating peace talks, such as Mr. Wang Jingwei?" Charles asked

"In addition, we have also heard that the failure of the Wuhan defense battle has led to the decline of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's prestige and he can no longer control the squadron." Logan also asked.

Hong Junqi smiled faintly, turned his head to them and said, "War is always testing people. You are on this path, some people go here and some people go there. Mr. Wang Jingwei is a veteran of our party. I believe he will not do anything to sorry for the country and the nation. As for the chairman, that is even more nonsense."

As he was speaking, a joyous commotion came from the front. After a roar, the truck finally crawled out of the mud pit and slowly moved westward. When the pedestrians next to him returned to the carriage, Hong Junqi's driver also came back. He wiped the oil from his hands while walking, and muttered. Seeing this, Hong Junqi said goodbye to the three reporters.

But Hong Junqi didn't expect that just as they were talking on the road, Takeo Imai and Sei Akira Kagesato, Takezo Takazo and Mesiping were drinking and having fun on the second floor of the Hong Kong East Asia Trading Company.
