Chapter 201: Crisis in North China (II)

Just as the Shen brothers were discussing the situation in North China at the dinner table, a military conference conspiring to North China was also being held in Dalian, a coastal city that was already the so-called Manchurian territory.

"Everyone, the Central China Front Army of General Matsui has now defeated the elite troops of the Nanjing National Government and occupied Nanjing. Now the main forces of the Chinese army, including the Northeast Army of North China, have all been transferred to Central China. The current situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and we must also take action." Kenyo Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army who presided over the meeting, waved his arms and said excitedly.

"Our North China garrison troops are ready. Now the north, east and south sides of Beiping have been controlled by our army, and the strategic location Toyota has been occupied by our army. At present, Lugou Bridge is the only external channel in Beiping. As long as we occupy this strategic location, cut off the exchanges between Peking and various parts of the south, and then control Song Zheyuan and the Hebei-Chahar authorities, so that North China can be completely separated from the National Government. Our North China strategy can be completed." Tashi Dai Anichiro Tatsuya also said with confidence.

"What is Song Zheyuan's current attitude?" Hideki Tojo, the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, who had a gloomy face, asked at this time.

"Although our great Japanese Imperial Army has officially started war with the National Government in the south, Song Zheyuan has considered that his own interests have not yet broken up with us. It is just that in response to the current exercises of our North China garrison troops near Wanping and Lugou Bridge, Peking Mayor Qin Dechun has protested to us many times." Matsui Taikuro, the director of the Peking Special Service Agency who attended the meeting with Yoyo Ichiro Hoda, quickly replied.

"Then let's solve it with force. Now the National Government has signed a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union intends to restrain us in China. In order to fight against the Soviet Union in the future, we must first conquer China. Conquering China must first conquer North China. Now the Chinese army in the south has no time to go north, and the North China and the northwest provinces do not obey the National Government at all. We can take a fighting and pulling approach to force Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan and others to cooperate with our Great Japanese Empire. Since Song Zheyuan does not know how to politely, he can only fight. Once the war begins, our Korean army can quickly send troops to reinforce North China." Before Tojo can speak, the commander of the Korean army, Koiki Aki, said impatiently.

In fact, in response to Matsui Ishione's victory in central China, Koi Akira Koi, Kenyoshi Ueda, Yoshihiro Ueda, and Yoshihiro Anichiro had long been unable to hold back and asked for an offensive in North China many times. However, the Japanese cabinet considered that the current focus of the war was in central China and forced Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing government to surrender through force, they still wanted to try to occupy China at the same time as the Northeast, just like the Northeast. Therefore, they had never approved their request to attack North China and fight on both sides.

"Tan Daijun, go and do it boldly! Our Kanto Army also strongly supports you." Kenyoshi Ueda also encouraged loudly.

At this meeting, a group of crazy Japanese militarists unanimously decided to resolve the North China issue in the near future, first of all, to control the Pingjin area and use force. The leaders of the South Manchurian Railway who attended the meeting also expressed that once the war in North China begins, the South Manchurian Railway will do their best to cooperate. The opening of the North China war is just as Shen Xiuwen said to Shen Xiude at the dinner table, and then the countdown has entered.

...

The river is whispered by the walnuts, and the boats that are upstream and stagger, and the entire Yangtze River channel is now a lifeline. The boats that are upstream and upstream are like crucian carp crossing the river, endlessly. The two sides are lush and the mountains are full of flowers, covering the majestic mountains with a layer of charm.

There are many people boarding the boat from Wuhan to Sichuan. Today, Wuhan is a transit station that transfers from the eastern region to Sichuan. Almost all the ships on the Hankou pier where Shen Xiuwen boarded the boat were filled with refugees who fled their homes due to the war.

This is the first time Chen Xiuwen has returned to Wanxian since he left Wanxian at the end of the 14th year of the Republic of China. Now the Shen family's property, family members are in Wanxian, and there is also a Fenqi Farm that has hosted thousands of disabled soldiers. This time, Chen Xiuwen returned to Wanxian. In addition to the logistics director Zheng Huaishan, the deputy director of the deputy Ma Congping and Shen Yi's guard squad, there are more than 400 brothers who have seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness in the defense of Nanjing. The accompanying him was led by Lin Jingyun, the deputy director of the Division Hospital, who was responsible for the care of these brothers. In addition, considering the rest and rapid changes of the troops, Chief of Staff Qiao Zhen also specially asked the confidential director Chen Xintong to take a telegram team to follow him.

The passenger ships in Wuhan were very nervous, and it was thanks to Sun Yuanliang not only approved the 20-day leave of Chen Xiuwen, but also booked a passenger ship from Minsheng Company through his friend Lu Zuofu.

The September Jiang Feng was very comfortable on his face. After just finishing the examination of several seriously injured people who had not yet recovered, Lin Jingyun and Wang Xiaofei were waving the river Feng while enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait.

"So beautiful!" Wang Xiaofei sighed sincerely.

Lin Jingyun leaned on the railing and looked at Wang Xiaofei with a fascinated look. This little girl is not only beautiful, but also innocent and cheerful. Since she came to Rongyi Division, she has attracted the attention of many young officers. These young officers go to the division hospital if they have anything to do. For a time, the division hospital has become the most popular place in Rongyi Division.

"Xiaofei, so many officers are pursuing you, are there anyone you like?" Lin Jingyun asked with a smile at Wang Xiaofei.

Wang Xiaofei's face turned red and she said shyly: "Sister Jingyun, look at what you said. She is still young now and doesn't care about such things." As she said that, her eyes turned, she looked at Lin Jingyun and said: "But, Sister Jingyun, how can you still be single? With your conditions, people who pursue you must be indispensable."

Lin Jingyun had just celebrated her 24th birthday, but she was already an old girl at that time. Lin Jingyun had her hair blown by Jiang Feng and laughed: "No! She had been in school before, and just returned to Shanghai at the beginning of this year, when the Battle of Songhu broke out. How could she talk about these things!"

"Sister Jingyun, you used to be classmates with Master. You two must have had a good relationship before, right? I heard that Master had pursued you back then, and even killed three Japanese in the street to save you. Isn't that true?" Wang Xiaofei asked with a smile.

"Damn girl, why are you talking nonsense?" Lin Jingyun's face turned red, she glared at Wang Xiaofei, and pretended to be angry: "It's true that we were classmates back then, but it's just a classmate relationship. The teacher now has a family, so we are not allowed to talk nonsense again in the future."

Wang Xiaofei quickly argued: "What nonsense? I heard others say that, they..."

At this time, a cabin door creaked open, and a female officer with a figure walked out of the cabin. Although she was wearing a military uniform, she could not stop her graceful figure at all.

When Wang Xiaofei saw the female officer, her face changed slightly and she quickly stopped talking.

The female officer stretched out her arms. When she saw Lin Jingyun and Wang Xiaofei were also there, she walked over with a smile: "Vice President Lin is here too. The scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River is so beautiful. This is the first time that Vice President Lin has taken this route?"

Lin Jingyun nodded with a slightly cold attitude and said, "Yes, Director Chen."

Chen Xintong obviously didn't care about Lin Jingyun's attitude. Instead, he turned his head with a smile and asked Wang Xiaofei who was secretly looking at him, "Little sister, what were you talking about just now? I won't say anything when I see me."

Wang Xiaofei looked very nervous and looked at Chen Xintong, but didn't know how to answer for a while. Fortunately, Lin Jingyun, who was standing beside her, helped her to help her, "I didn't talk much, I just blew the river breeze and saw the scenery on both sides of the strait."

Since Chen Xintong came to the army, Lin Jingyun has been very careful about the people who came from the secret service. Moreover, every time she saw Chen Xintong surround Shen Xiuwen, Lin Jingyun always felt an indescribable disgust. When she saw Chen Xintong's eyes constantly glance at Wang Xiaofei, she quickly smiled and introduced, "Director Chen, don't you know him yet? This is Wang Xiaofei, a new doctor from our Divisional Department Hospital, and this is Director Chen from the Divisional Department's confidential room."

"Director Chen." Wang Xiaofei quickly gave Chen Xintong a not very standard military salute.

"So you are Wang Xiaofei. I have heard that a great beauty came from the hospital of the division department, which caused those stinky men to go to the hospital of the division department for any matters. Haha." Chen Xintong said enthusiastically.

At first, Wang Xiaofei saw Chen Xintong a little restrained and nervous, but Chen Xintong was very enthusiastic, and with a familiar look, he soon became familiar with Shen Xintong. Lin Jingyun listened to the conversation between the two. Chen Xintong seemed to be trying to trick Wang Xiaofei in intentional or unintentional and interrogating her details. Looking at Wang Xiaofei's innocent and innocent look, Lin Jingyun was a little worried, but it was difficult to remind her.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaofei's answer was consistent with some of the information she had when she joined the army. When she said that her parents were killed by a Japanese devil's plane, the little girl wiped her tears, which made Chen Xintong feel embarrassed. Before leaving, she took Wang Xiaofei's hand and invited her: "Xiaofei, although it was the first time I went to Wanxian, I heard from the teacher that there were many scenic spots there. When I got out, I would take you to have a good time." As she said that, she also smiled and invited Lin Jingyun: "Vice President Lin, let's go together at that time."

Lin Jingyun had no choice but to agree with a smile. When returning to her cabin, Lin Jingyun looked around and saw that no one was around, grabbed Wang Xiaofei and whispered: "Xiaofei, if you are with that Director Chen in the future, you have to be careful and don't be foolish and say everything."

Wang Xiaofei was stunned for a moment and nodded. Lin Jingyun sighed secretly. Although Wang Xiaofei is now an ideal development target in her mind, she cannot say too much at this time. She just reminds her to pay attention in the future.

However, when Lin Jingyun turned around, a gleam flashed in Wang Xiaofei's eyes, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Teacher seat, now the Yangtze River estuary blocked by the neon army, it is becoming increasingly difficult to transfer materials. At present, ships from the United States can only dock in Ningbo, then transport them by land to Jiujiang, and then ship to Wanxian. Judging from the current situation, Jiujiang will sooner or later be lost, and it will be even more difficult to go back." In the cabin where Chen Xiuwen, the uppermost layer of the passenger ship, was located, Zheng Huaishan complained to Chen Xiuwen.

After two years, Chen Xiuwen has strong trust in Zheng Huaishan. Currently, the weapons, ammunition and materials sent from the United States are transported by Zheng Huaishan. Now, the Yangtze River estuary blocked by the Neon Army, especially after occupying Hangzhou and Nanjing, the land transportation line from Ningbo that originally landed from Hangzhou to Nanjing has been cut off. Now they can only go around to Jiangxi and then transported to Wanxian through Jiujiang. There are great difficulties in terms of distance and time.

Not only that, the United States also has become increasingly strict in controlling arms to China. The US government, which pursues isolationism, has begun to move closer to Japan in the war between China and Japan. During the Nanjing Defense War, Zhang Lingfu's delegation discovered an unexploded bomb, which actually printed the words "Made in Usa". The idea of ​​Chen Xiuwen's original intention to rely on the United States to import arms to support the battle was becoming increasingly difficult.

"Old Zheng, after you return to Wanxian this time, stay there and don't come out." Chen Xiuwen buried his head in smoking and suddenly said.

Zheng Huaishan was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Master, what do you want me to do?" Zheng Huaishan did not doubt the trust Chen Xiuwen had in him at all, but he didn't understand why he was allowed to stay in Wanxian.

"The materials coming in from the United States will become more and more difficult in the future, and we have to find a way for ourselves. The most important thing now is the ammunition issue. You see, these wars have consumed almost one-third of our storage in the past six months. So I think that in the future, we will produce weapons and ammunition ourselves. If others don't believe it, I can only let you take charge of this stall." Chen Xiuwen looked at Zheng Huaishan and said.

"Let's run the arsenal by ourselves? Is this possible? Besides, the arsenal is not all under the Military Industry Bureau now. Even if we can do it, what should we do if it is taken away by the Military Industry Bureau in the future?" Zheng Huaishan did not expect that Chen Xiuwen would have this idea and quickly said.

In fact, Chen Xiuwen chose to import arms directly from the United States instead of running a factory by himself, mainly because the current arsenals are publicly run, and you cannot save the factory without a certain amount of strength. But now the situation is different. The lack of understanding of this historical knowledge has made Chen Xiuwen underestimate the various situations after the war and force himself to find another way.
