Sitting at his desk, Chairman Chiang said nothing!
He was thinking about the content of the victory report: the Sulu Theater took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, and the 51st Army made a surprise attack on Linyi City and defeated it, annihilating three thousand enemies and capturing countless enemies. The Shandong Guerrilla Corps succeeded in a sneak attack on Xuzhou, annihilating three thousand enemies and killing Japanese Lieutenant General Jin Jiuping, the division commander. The results were brilliant.
Chairman Jiang¡¯s mind flashed from time to time to Xuezhong¡¯s square donkey face. Well, yes, it¡¯s a donkey face!
Mainly because when facing him, Yu Xuezhong never looks good!
I remember that when he met Yu Xuezhong, he was still the regimental commander in the army of warlord Wu Peifu. After Wu Peifu was defeated and entered Sichuan, Chiang Kai-shek immediately sent someone to send him a letter of appointment, appointing him as the commander of the four generals of Sichuan, Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi. Commander-in-Chief of the Provincial Border Region.
However, Yu Xuezhong did not give him this face. He tore up the letter of appointment and yelled at the visitor: "He appointed me? I still want to appoint him! I will never wear the hat of the Kuomintang in this life!" "
But this did not hinder Chiang¡¯s appreciation of Yu. In Chairman Chiang¡¯s view, Yu Xuezhong had ¡°bright eyes, loyalty to people, and was a talented general.¡±
This time, Yu Xuezhong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater. On the one hand, it was to balance the strengths of all aspects, and at the same time, it was indeed because of Yu's talents.
However, Chairman Chiang¡¯s idea at the time was just that he hoped that they could survive behind enemy lines and restrain the Japanese garrison to a small extent, but he never thought of letting them take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Therefore, this victory was really an unexpected surprise.
After a long time, Chairman Chiang put down the telegram and said, "Has it been confirmed?"
"It's confirmed!"
"How to say?"
"It's all true. There is no false report of military exploits or exaggeration of the results. Everything is true! Even at this time, the bodies of Jinjiu Qianping and his chief of staff have been sent to Yimeng Mountain. When I sent the report before, Commander-in-Chief Yu also asked for instructions whether to send the bodies of Jinjiu Qianping and others to Chongqing!" Minister He replied.
"Forget about the corpse, it's July now, the time of year when the temperature is the highest, and there are thousands of mountains and rivers to travel from Shandong to Chongqing. By the time they get the person there, it will probably stink already!"
Despite this, Minister He still saw a hint of disappointment in Chairman Jiang¡¯s eyes.
"Commissioner, why don't we let them take some photos so we can publicize it!" Minister He said.
Chairman Jiang¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and he said, ¡°This is a good idea, but I¡¯m a little surprised. How did they do it?¡±
"Commander-in-Chief Yu also explained this to me. He said that two days ago, the Japs suddenly sent out a small elite unit to burn, kill and loot the territory of Li Guoyao's headquarters in Xiong'er Mountain. This completely angered Li Guoyao, the stupid young man, and directly sent troops to attack. The Japanese troops in Zaozhuang, Shanting and other places. The Japs took this opportunity to prepare to kill all Li Guoyao's troops, and mobilized two divisions from Xuzhou and Linyi to besiege Li Guoyao's troops."
Then Minister He continued: "During this period, the Sulu War Zone found that the Japanese garrison strength in Xuzhou, Linyi and other places was empty. The total number of garrison troops in the two places was only four to five thousand, and they were scattered in large and small strongholds outside the city. Artillery building. Then the Sulu Theater decisively seized the opportunity to attack Linyi with the 51st Army as the main force. At the same time, it also asked Li Guoyao's command to deploy part of the main force to sneak attack Xuzhou City, catching the little Japanese by surprise!"
"So that's it, I said, how can the combat effectiveness of the Sulu Theater be as strong as that of the Little Japs!"
"Commissioner, no matter what, we have won this battle. It is a well-deserved victory. We must publicize it well!"
"Well, we have to publicize it well. Let Jingzhi handle this matter!" Chairman Jiang said.
"yes!"
"By the way, Jingzhi, what are the losses suffered by Li Guoyao's department this time?" Chairman Jiang asked again.
¡°There were no casualties reported by the Shandong Guerrilla Corps in the Sulu Theater, but it should not be too small. After all, this was Li Guoyao¡¯s initiative to launch an attack on the Japanese army. The large one was in a county where the Japanese army was heavily stationed, so the casualties would naturally not be small.¡±
Minister He then continued: "And not long after, the little devils concentrated their forces to fight back. They even pushed back Li Guoyao's troops and pursued them into the hinterland of Xiong'er Mountain. Obviously, Li Guoyao's troops suffered a lot of losses!"
"Well, since this battle is led by the Sulu Theater Headquarters, we must also provide rewards. Do you think about how to reward the meritorious troops?" Chairman Jiang said.
"Commissioner, in fact, we can leave these matters to the Sulu Theater to resolve on their own. After all, Commander-in-Chief Yu and others have just made a decision.Their results are not enough to promote them to military ranks. They only need to allocate some supplements to them. As for promotions, it depends on the wishes of the Sulu Theater Headquarters! "Minister He said in a deep voice.
"The words of respect are reasonable, so let's do this. In the name of the Military Commission, we will allocate 10,000 new guns and 20,000 old guns to the Sulu Theater. In addition, we will provide 8 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 5 million rounds of machine gun ammunition, and grenades. I¡¯ll also give you 10,000 boxes, or 300,000 for Dayang. What do you think?¡±
Minister He nodded and said: "These weapons and equipment are enough for them to arm three divisions, but it is a pity that they do not have light and heavy machine guns and artillery."
Old Jiang sighed and said: "It's not like you don't know the situation of the party-state right now. If supplies from outside can't be shipped in, where will the light and heavy machine guns and artillery come from?"
Hearing this, Minister He and others sighed and expressed their helplessness.
How could they not know the predicament facing the National Government now? With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, major cities such as Peking, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Wuhan fell one after another in just over a year, and major coastal areas The port was also occupied by Japanese troops.
With the Japanese army's blockade of various ports in China, Yunnan became the rear area of ??the Anti-Japanese War, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway became my country's most important transportation channel for a while.
As a large number of personnel and materials from internally relocated enterprises, factories, agencies, and schools entered the southwest rear area via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, a large number of anti-war materials and civilian supplies from overseas and eastern my country were transported from Yunnan to the southwestern provinces and other inland areas via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. Province, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is also responsible for transporting various strategic materials and civilian materials accumulated in Haiphong and Hanoi.
Suddenly, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway transportation was extremely busy, and the volume of passenger and cargo transportation increased sharply.
In 1938 and 1939, the transportation volume of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway reached its highest peak since its opening to traffic. In 1938, the freight volume was nearly 400,000 tons, and in 1939 it surged to more than 500,000 tons, more than three times that of 1919.
In addition, more than 42 million passenger tickets were sold in 1938, and more than 45 million were sold in 1939, an increase of 22 times compared with 1927.
After the completion of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, although it also shouldered a considerable part of the transportation task, the transportation was mainly foreign aid materials to China, most of which were American aid materials to China. In addition, the transportation capacity of automobiles is limited after all, and the road conditions of the Yunnan-Burma Highway are relatively poor, which imposes many restrictions on transportation.
Therefore, until the Japanese army occupied Vietnam in 1940 and cut off the transportation of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was almost the most important international passage in China at that time.
The Japanese army regarded this lifeline of the Chinese government with the outside world as a thorn in its side and a thorn in its flesh. Starting from September 1938, it relied on its air superiority to unscrupulously bomb the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway again and again in an attempt to cut off this international transportation. aisle.
In order to cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway, the Japanese army launched crazy bombings in Vietnam. For example, in 1939, they bombed Zhicun Station and dropped a large number of bombs. The station building, locomotive depot garage, water tower, and dormitories were all blown up, killing more than 200 people.
Although the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has not been interrupted yet, the transportation volume is not as good as before, so that there are mountains of aid materials piled up in Haiphong Port, while materials on various battlefields in the country are extremely scarce.
"Commissioner, since there are not many preferential treatment in terms of materials, let's do more in terms of publicity. We can't let the generals on the front line feel cold!"
"It's up to you to decide this matter yourself!" Chairman Chiang said.
