    "I would like to inform Chairman Chiang Kai-shek: Except for the No. 1 and No. 2 main peaks of Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai and Wulongshan Fort, all other positions outside Nanjing have gradually fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. The Japanese army has fierce artillery fire and repeated assaults with tanks and tanks.  , our army fought with flesh and blood against steel. Although it caused great damage to the enemy, its own casualties were even more serious. As of now, the number of casualties among the participating departments has exceeded 7,500, Chief of Staff of the 157th Division Headquarters  Major General Yao Zhongying was hit by a Japanese artillery shell while supervising the battle at the gate of Zhonghua Gate today, and unfortunately died for his country. However, Meng Xiao never failed to live up to the trust of the Chairman and the people of the country, and continued to lead his troops to fight against the Japanese aggressors with his wounded body in order to defend the country.  To ensure the stability of the country and the dignity of the party and state."

    After reading the telegram sent by Tang Shengzhi from Nanjing, the city of blood and fire, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in the bedroom of his official residence in Wuhan, the capital of Wuhan, let out a long sigh. His thin body leaned weakly on the bed and he reached out and pulled out a few sticks from a drawer containing medicine.  Cotton balls, slowly treating his dental disease. The recent increasingly unfavorable and cumbersome war has caused inflammation in the gums where his dentures are installed. Coupled with the worries in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek groans and rests all day long.  .

    In front of the people of the country, he is the majestic supreme commander-in-chief of the country and president of the Kuomintang. But at this time, he took off his dentures, and what appeared in the mirror was a shriveled and old face.  Decades of endless political and military machinations have worn off almost all of his hair.  At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was secretly annoyed in his heart, why did you, little Japanese, have to come in from Shanghai?  You must know that Shanghai and Nanjing are China's economic center and the other is China's political center, and both of them are key places for their central government.  If the Japanese want to fight, why don't you continue to land from North Korea and fight Zhang Xueliang?  Why not land from Shandong and attack Han Fuqu?  Why not land from Guangdong and beat him Li Zongren?  If you attack those local warlords, it will basically be of no harm to the central government. Then you can reap the benefits and wait until the Japanese and these local forces that have always been disobedient are beaten to a bloody head and both sides will suffer.  It is logical to extend central forces into these places in the name of fighting the Japanese invaders.  But without attacking so many places, the Japanese decided to start in Shanghai and suddenly strangled the lifeline of the Central Government. Why wasn't Chiang Kai-shek angry?

    "Vice Chairman, Vice ChairmanThe Chairman has gone to sleep" Just when Chiang Kai-shek was about to fall asleep with a heavy heart, a burst of shouts from the guard adjutant outside the door cheered him up.  Sure enough, with heavy footsteps, General Feng Yuxiang, the vice chairman of the Kuomintang Military Commission and Chiang Kai-shek's favorite brother, strode in dressed in casual clothes. He was the only one who dared to break into the bedroom of the highest authority in the middle of the night.

    General Feng looked gloomy, and ordered in an unquestionable tone to the major general-level guard chief: "You go out first, the chairman and I have important matters to discuss."

    The captain of the guard looked at Chiang Kai-shek hesitantly, and after receiving a slight nod from the other party, he carefully withdrew and closed the door.

    "What's the matter?" Chiang Kai-shek stood up and reluctantly cheered up.

    "Brother Jiang, I want to talk to you in a purely personal capacity now. If you still take me as an ally brother seriously, then please listen to my words carefully." Admiral Feng said with a frank look.  , said in a gentle tone.

    "You tell me first." Chiang Kai-shek was quite polite to Feng Yuxiang.  After all, he is the supreme commander of the Northwest Army in terms of actual power. With a single call, more than 100,000 Northwest Army troops can return to his command immediately. His appeal and influence cannot be underestimated.

    "My brother Chiang, in the battle of Shanghai, the national army lost troops, ground, and elites. Now the capital is in danger, and the future of the party and the country is worrying! What if Nanjing cannot hold it and the Japanese invaders move along Jiangxi to threaten Wuhan? Is it possible that the capital is really there?  Want to move again and again, to Chongqing? Let¡¯s not talk about the country¡¯s loss of face, and the war will drag on for three to five years. What if the Japanese gain a foothold in the Beijing-Shanghai area? In the end  If the Japanese are driven away, then the country's people's livelihood construction will also suffer unprecedented damage! The Jiangnan provinces along the Yangtze River are the richest places in the country and are important sources of national finance. Now they have become battlefields and have been miserable for many years.  All the businesses we started were destroyed in one fell swoop. Post-war reconstruction is a long way to go, and we have to start all over again after years of hard work. The longer this 'protracted war' drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us in terms of war, but the worse it will be in terms of civil affairs. Now. Now  The people in the war zone are living in dire straits, and the number of dead national troops and innocent people is increasing every day!" Feng Yuxiang said sincerely, becoming more and more emotional as he spoke, "The Sichuan Army, Guangxi Army, Guangdong Army and other troops took turns to close the loopholes in the East China War. These local army officers and soldiers  They are enthusiastic about killing the enemy, but their weapons and equipment are poor. I have seen with my own eyes that one team after another of them fell to the Japanese aircraft and artillery without hesitation. This alas! At present, Deputy Commander Zhang has been invited to fight many times, and the Northeast  The military equipment is elite and the morale is high. Now all parties are looking forward to you, Brother Jiang.This is a blatant contempt and insult to the central government.  But three hours later, two more pieces of news came that shocked Chiang Kai-shek.

    "Chairman! President Wang's plane suddenly changed course and flew directly to Shanghai!" Yu Jishi's emergency report was no less than a thunder to Chiang Kai-shek.  This morning Wang Jingwei flew to war-torn Nanjing on the pretext of "consoling the labor force." Chiang Kai-shek didn't take it seriously at the time, and even secretly cursed him to die under Japanese artillery fire. Now he suddenly flew to Shanghai in the Japanese war zone, and his intention is self-evident.  , thinking of the various omens that Wang Jingwei had sent his cronies Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping to secretly sneak into Shanghai to have secret talks with the Japanese some time ago, a great ominous premonition came to Chiang Kai-shek's mind.  But another news surprised him even more: General Feng Yuxiang, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Lieutenant General Jiang Baili, president of Army University, left Wuhan privately for Shaanxi on a special plane an hour ago.

    Feng Yuxiang was deeply disappointed with Chiang Kai-shek's stubbornness, and saw that he secretly wanted to use the Japanese invasion as an opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Lieutenant General Chiang Baili also repeatedly advised Chiang Kai-shek to use the Northeast Army to fight against the Japanese, but they were all met with failure.  Chiang Kai-shek's rejection.  Feng and Chiang secretly discussed it many times and implemented the plan to "abscond and force Chiang" when their persuasion failed.

    Soon, on the 14th, Wulong Mountain, an important area outside Nanjing, was captured by the Japanese army.  Vice Chairman of the National Military Commission, General Feng Yuxiang, issued a statement in Xi'an, stating that "it is really intolerable to the behavior and attitude of the central government to exclude and attack dissidents. We have specially reorganized our troops and prepared to fight against the Japanese invasion when the war sweeps across the mainland of the Central Plains.  ¡­At the same time, I implore Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to open his mind to all rivers and lakes, truly abandon differences in party and political views, and unify the anti-Japanese forces across the country to carry out the Patriotic War¡­¡±

    This declaration immediately received a positive response from the generals of the Northwest Army. The troops of the Northwest Army, including the 17th Route Army and the 29th Route Army, immediately reunited under the return and call of leader Feng Yuxiang.  .  In addition, the greatly reduced strength of the Central Army at this time suddenly weakened the restraint on the Northwest Army. In just a few days, Feng Yuxiang's troops swelled to more than 100,000 like a snowball. Echoing Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, it had the potential to start a prairie fire.  Public opinion across the country suddenly exploded, and Feng Yuxiang's move had a huge repercussions at home and abroad.

    On the 22nd, when the Japanese troops swept away all the positions outside Nanjing except Purple Mountain and stormed the Zhonghua Gate, Zhongshan Gate, Guanghua Gate and other city gates entering Nanjing, people in Shenyang complained and chanted "Blocking the Great Wall in vain, and looking down in the mirror."  Zhang Xueliang, who wrote the poem "The temples are already stained", finally waited for Chiang Kai-shek's helpless order to "move the Northeast Army south to fight against Japan"; at the same time, Feng Yuxiang also received the order from the Northwest Army to mobilize south to join the war.  (This section was written in a bit of haste and confusion, and a lot of the content was forcibly compressed and omitted. I have no choice but to delay the appearance of the protagonist, the Northeastern Army, any longer, otherwise I will cause public outrage) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel  .com
