    "Junzuo! The Japanese troops are coming in!" Major General Gao Jing, chief of staff of the 77th Army, covered in gunpowder smoke and bloodstained with a nervous look on his face, rushed into the Kao Village where the army headquarters was located, which had long been reduced to ruins by Japanese artillery fire.  "Calm down! What's the situation outside?" Lieutenant General Zhang Zizhong, the commander of the army, had worn out his military uniform during the three days of round-the-clock fierce fighting, but it could not hide his determination to fight to the death.  He looked calm and said: "What's going on? Tell me slowly!"

    "About two regiments of the advance troops of the 115th Division of Japanese reinforcements have arrived at the bus station in the south of the city and the Jiangqiao area. The troops in the southeast and east can hardly hold on! The Ni Jiadun and Niu Quezu positions have just been lost!"  Gao Jing was panting with sweat on his face.  Although he was surrounded on three sides, Zhang Zizhong still showed no fear on his face. He said solemnly: "Everyone, you will always die in life, and fighting the Japanese aggressors to sacrifice for the country is the most glorious. As long as there is one soldier and one soldier, we are determined to fight against the Japanese."  Kou will fight to the bitter end!"

    Worse news continued to come. A brigade of the Japanese 105th Division took more than a dozen motorboats upstream from Gaoyou Lake and suddenly landed at the Xujia Bridge on the east wing of the Seventy-seventh Army, where the weakest troops were guarded.  The two companies of the 109th Brigade of the 37th Division were quickly defeated.  More and more Japanese troops came through this breach, like a sharp thorn inserted into the weakness of the 77th Army. The intensive bombing and strafing by more than a dozen Japanese planes raging in the air made the situation of the 77th Army even worse.

    On Weifeng Street, the main street of Gaoyou City, where corpses filled the streets, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 77th Army fought desperately from house to house and alley to the swarming Japanese troops.  The northwest officers and soldiers with high morale and roaring in hometown slang used their inferior equipment to fight to the death against the well-equipped Japanese troops. Their sharp machetes flashed with a soul-stirring white light under the scorching sun. Amidst the roars and strange screams, ugly pieces appeared.  The heads of the Japanese soldiers flew up with the figures of the fallen Northwest Army soldiers one by one, and large areas of scarlet blood flew and splashed.

    The chirping of the Japanese army and the whistling of bullets from the 38 rifles were already close at hand. Zhang Zizhong calmly led the last reserve team to rush out of the command room.  "Jin seat! You can't go up in person! It's too dangerous!" Deputy Army Commander Feng Zhian, Commander of the 37th Division Liu Zizhen and other officers quickly tried to dissuade him. Zhao Dengyu, Commander of the 132nd Division, grabbed Zhang Zizhong's hand and said urgently: "Jun  Seat! A unit of the Northeastern Army has arrived at Jiuli Town in the north of the city. I believe they will rush to our army immediately! Please" "The country raises troops for a thousand days, uses troops for a while, and sacrifices one's life for the country is as heavy as Mount Tai." Zhang Zizhong interrupted him calmly.  He said, "How can our Northwest Army lose to the Northeast Army in serving the country with loyalty!" The officers nodded firmly, and under the leadership of Zhang Zizhong, they all rushed out of the command post as if they were dead. Mortar shells screamed and exploded in the sky from time to time.  Rain of blood.  Zhang Zizhong raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, fight to the end!" The officers held British submachine guns and stepped forward to face the hail of bullets from the Japanese army.

    "Yo Xi! Capture that recalcitrant Chinese officer alive." Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, who was on the front line to supervise the battle, ordered.

    Like a loud thunder rolling on the ground, a large area of ??houses and buildings on the back side of the street suddenly collapsed. More than a dozen black giant steel monsters destroyed the houses and walls and appeared in front of the Japanese army, directly crushing the collapsed houses, bricks and tiles and the ground.  Dead bodies rolled in like an overwhelming force.  At the same time, there was a sudden and violent roar of thousands of AK assault rifles.  The torrential firepower composed of 88mm tank main guns and tens of millions of rifles swept like a hurricane towards the Japanese troops that were squeezing and encroaching on the 77th Army.  The voices of Northeastern officers and soldiers who continuously emerged from behind the ruins were as loud as thunder - "Brothers of the Northwest Army! We are here to reinforce you!"

    A pair of Northeast War Eagles soared into the sky from the field airport established by the 101st Division Engineer Corps in Jiuli Town overnight in a very timely manner. The huge war shadow covered the sky and hovered above Gaoyou City.  The falcons fluttered their silver wings and pounced on the Japanese planes in the sky, while the bombers dropped strings of bombs like raindrops on the heads of the rushing Japanese troops.

    Tanks are very vulnerable in street fighting and can easily become trapped in the terrain and destroyed by enemy anti-tank fire.  Ruan Chunwang, deputy commander of the 101st Armored Division of the Northeast Army, who is a top student at the Armored Forces Academy of the Great Wall Military Academy, certainly knows this common sense, but there is always a difference between theory and practice.  The invincible "Northeast Tiger" main battle tank had almost no solution to the Japanese army besieging Gaoyou except for a salvo of heavy artillery. There was no weapon in the hands of the Japanese infantry that could penetrate the "Northeast Army's" alloy armor that was hundreds of millimeters thick.  The tank soldiers of the Northeast Army brazenly roamed the city covering the infantry units and fiercely attacked the Japanese army.  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Houses housing Japanese troops were mercilessly bombarded by the "Siberian Tiger's" main guns. The Japanese troops inside were not directly killed but were all buried alive.  The almost impeccable death firepower formed by the light and heavy machine guns and flamethrowers on the tanks turned the Japanese troops lying in front of the huge body of the "Siberian Tiger" intoMarshal Sugiyama, the supreme commander of the Japanese army in military uniform, rode into the city on a tall horse and showed off his power. At this moment, corpses were everywhere in and around Nanjing, the stench was overwhelming, and raging fires were burning in more than a dozen places, making the Japanese army show off their victory.  The entrance ceremony is as terrifying as a group of demons dancing in hell.

    Amidst the jubilation in Japan, only a few senior military and political leaders were the calmest.  They clearly realized that the capture of Nanjing did not represent the end of Japan's war against China, but rather indicated that the Japanese army had fallen into the quagmire of the China War. The increasingly unfavorable war situation in the Gaoyou area of ??Central Jiangsu further proved this. If this stalemate simply persists,  If this continues, the Japanese troops in China will inevitably be driven out of mainland China by the Chinese army.  In view of this situation, the Japanese Cabinet and the Military Ministry decided to support the "New China" regime headed by Wang Jingwei as soon as possible after convening the Supreme Military and Political Conference and establish a "New China Army" to coordinate the Japanese army in fighting China.  Japanese Prime Minister Fumima Konoe issued a statement from the Japanese government to the world on the 7th:

    "The large-scale armed conflict between Japan and China was purely triggered by the Chinese National Government's stubborn persistence in anti-Japanese attitude. If the two countries continue to confront each other for a long time, it will definitely not be beneficial to the interests of the two peoples. The Japanese government is ensuring the safety of Japanese nationals in China  and those who have interests in China that are not infringed upon and who are extremely willing to cooperate with China's concerns and work together to build a new order in Greater East Asia. At this time, the Japanese government once again clarified at home and abroad the policy of adjusting diplomatic relations with the new China.  policy, in the hope that the Chinese government will fully understand the sincerity of the empire. Japan and China should unite with the common goal of building a new order in Greater East Asia and work together to achieve good neighborliness and friendship.¡­"

    Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Wuhan, naturally understood who the "people of insight" in the Japanese population were.  At this time, the news that Wang Jingwei secretly went to Shanghai had spread like wildfire, and the world public opinion was in an uproar. Chiang Kai-shek was extremely worried that Wang Jingwei would create a second National Government under the control of the Japanese and allow the Kuomintang to "divert" from Ninghan to Han again. At the same time, he was also afraid of a family scandal.  Outgoing.  On the one hand, he tried his best to declare to all countries in the world that the Chinese government would never surrender and seek peace with Japan. On the other hand, he secretly ordered Wang Jingwei to rein in the precipice through various channels.

    But at this time, Wang Jingwei, who was deeply under the control of the Japanese army, could not help himself.  On the 9th, the Shanghai "Shenbao" published Wang Jingwei's "sexy telegram" against Japan and Japan. Wang Jingwei sternly "refuses to return to the National Government, urges Chiang Kai-shek not to continue stubborn resistance, and strongly recommends that China and Japan stop the war and make peace, and join hands to build a Greater East Asia."  order and prevent red communism.¡±

    Regardless of whether this treasonous declaration was from Wang Jingwei's original intention, after learning that Wang Jingwei was determined to be a lackey of the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek was furious and convened an emergency meeting of the Central Executive Supervision Committee of the Kuomintang on the 10th to discuss how to deal with Wang Jingwei's issue.  .  Chiang Kai-shek announced the next day: Wang Jingwei left his post without authorization at a time of national crisis and spread ideas that were contrary to national policy, seriously endangering the country. He decided to permanently expel him from the party and remove him from all positions.  When issuing this government announcement, Chiang Kai-shek also ordered military and Central Unification agents to assassinate Wang Jingwei as soon as possible.

    The first person to react to this decision was Zhang Xueliang, who had always caused Chiang Kai-shek the most headache.  After Chiang Kai-shek offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for Wang Jingwei's head, Zhang Xueliang immediately issued an even more indignant declaration. Zhang Xueliang rebuked Wang Jingwei, a dignified vice president of the Kuomintang, for colluding with the Japanese invaders and being a traitor who would never be pardoned. At the same time, Zhang Xueliang showed off his  Zhang Xueliang's always flamboyant style was more generous than Chiang Kai-shek's. When he ordered the Northeast agents to hunt down Wang Jingwei with all their strength, Zhang Xueliang also announced a reward of 200,000 oceans for the successful assassination of Wang Jingwei.

    Just when Chiang Kai-shek was furious with Zhang Xueliang's behavior of seizing the limelight, Zhang Xueliang called him and made two requests that were more difficult for Chiang Kai-shek to accept: First, the Chinese government officially declares war on Japan!  Second, bring the CCP into the anti-Japanese united front.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
