Chapter 213 Reinforcements for the Defense of Nanjing Next

However, the promise of Chiang Kai-shek, who had withdrawn from Nanjing, is not of great value to Zhang Xuewu, because Zhang Xuewu knew that he had to persist for at least a month and a half or even two months before the reinforcements could form a counter-encirclement of the Japanese army from the outside line. The premise was that Xuzhou's point must be adhered to.

And this encirclement is equivalent to the Japanese army encircled Nanjing, [***] also surrounded the Japanese army from the outside line, and the Japanese army encircled Xuzhou, and the Japanese army sent the army to Xuzhou was bound to win, while [***] in Xuzhou at all costs to block the enemy's reinforcements. Shanxi's [***] departments responded. .

This is an absolutely chaotic war situation. Whoever can't stand it first will be defeated thousands of miles away. This will also be a decisive battle that I highly expect in my heart.

Zhang Xuewu knows that it is inevitable to have a large-scale strategic battle with me, because the national political axe bears the responsibility of defending the country. If there is an inch of land, it must be fought, and it is duty-bound. However, it is a little unwise to carry out a strategic decisive battle with myself, because in general, the empire is overwhelmed, so it must be issued. Stabilize the comprehensive aggression against China to stabilize its rule in Manchuria, consume strategic materials hoarded in China, and transfer the country's economy into a wartime system.

In fact, turning to the wartime system is equivalent to the state plundering the money of the so-called people. First, the state confiscates precious metals and does not allow private transactions. Then it depreciates the currency significantly, let the wealth of the people evaporate, and then carries out the next round of plundering with the new currency, so that the people are poor and return all resources. In the ruling class and the privileged class.

There is no experience of such similar economic methods in the national political axe. The most fundamental thing is that the national political axe did not expect me to do it so early? It can be said that all of this is beyond the expectation of the highest authorities. Although Zhang Xuewu has been alarmist before, there are not many people in the government who can really listen to it, or most people are still pretending to be stupid. It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. There are so many officials and princes from all walks of life in China. All the nerves have to come out from the center.

Just like the casinos and brothel in Nanjing City, there are all people with backgrounds who have entered the dry stocks. The police headquarters and the police general office are all named, and the money is divided by everyone. Why don't you try to ban prostitutes and gambling? You sealed other people's doors with your forefoot, and they will still open for business the next day, but your black gauze hat is not guaranteed. Whether it is in the present or in the future, the iron law is to block other people's financial and official roads, which will kill people!

After Zhang Xuewu finished reading the secret telegram, Huang Feier handed over another appendix and said, "The special confidential telegram of the attendant's office of the Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission is limited to you. This is the password book. The number code is the number of pages, lines and words of this Western Chamber. You can only read the telegram alone, which is related to secrets. "."

Zhang Xuewu didn't raise his head and said, "The Buddha has a word, and the law is not spread by six ears. You can translate it directly!" You are the owner of my secret room. I don't believe who else can you trust? Don't care about those who don't stick to the edge. Since it's a secret electricity, there must be something to tell us to do, so sooner or later, we still have to tell the people who are going to execute it. What's confidential and unconfidential is bullshit!"

Huang Feier is slightly moved at this moment, because no one knows the content of this telegram designated by Zhang Xuewu to read in person. Generally, officers will choose to tell their subordinates after reading the content. Zhang Xuewu's incomparable trust in him makes Huang Feier small I was so excited.

After a while, Huang Feier put the translated telegram manuscript on the table and said happily, "Mr. Zhang, this is good news!"

Good news? Zi, in the face of the heavy military pressure, Chairman Jiang did not cross the level of command, even if it is good news, what good news can there be?

Huang Feier smiled and said, "It's really good news. Chairman Jiang said that the Soviet Union agreed to sell the weapons and equipment of 30 divisions, including tanks, artillery, aircraft and other weapons and equipment to China, and the first batch of 180 fighters of the Soviet Union's volunteered fighter forces to aid China will arrive one after another within three days. Da Suiyuan transferred to Nanjing through Rehe, Jinan and Xuzhou to directly participate in the Nanjing Defense War.

"What?" Zhang Xuewu stepped forward and almost grabbed the telegram from Huang Feier and read it in detail. Zhang Xuewu did not want to make a so-called judgment on the process of the Soviet Union's aid to China, because he said that his poor soldiers made the Soviet Union feel deeply afraid, especially the Soviet Union's first five-year plan was in full swing. The plan has seen results, and at the beginning of the second five-year development plan, the last thing the Soviet Union wanted to see was threats and war.

Zhang Xuewu remembers that on August 21, 1937, the Foreign Minister of National Political Axe Wang Chonghui and the Soviet Ambassador to China Bogmolov signed the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty in Nanjing on behalf of their own political axes respectively.

This treaty is the only international legal document that can strengthen China's status in the war of resistance after the full-scale outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war. It is also an important milestone in the development of Sino-Soviet relations. You should know that since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion of China, Britain, the United States, France and other countries have forcibly detained China's political axe to pay for the purchase. More than 500 artillery, 358 aircraft, more than 50,000 rifles and 6,000 machine guns have been bought with a large amount of ammunition, and the total amount of these weapons and materials is more than 150 million US dollars.

Even Germany, which is very close to Japan, still insists on completing the last batch of transactions. Compared with the trustworthy Germans, the Americans, the British and the French are a group of unfaithful pigs, despicable and shameless villains, especially the British and the French who flaunt themselves as noble whiteism. In fact Zhang Xuewu is even more vulgar. Zhang Xuewu may be that people in these two countries like to do those assholeless things too much. He does nasty things but he is afraid of people to say, saying that he is self-proclaimed with only one mind.

In the eyes of these countries, there are only eternal interests. For such a country, if you dare to trample on his so-called principles, you will become his strategic partner. If you dare not, then you are just the target of his crackdown on plunder.

In Zhang Xuewu's view, the Soviet Union and China took the initiative to seek to conclude the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. Formally, it is limited to the basic principles of mutual relations between the two States parties, ensuring that the two countries do not invade each other and do not support aggression. However, from the perspective of its content and the actual role in the future, it will further eliminate the two The impact of unfriendly relations caused by various complex factors in the past has a very far-reaching impact on the establishment of wartime mutual assistance and cooperation between the two countries. Similarly, in the Soviet Union, the standards of the eternal interests of Americans, the British and the French also apply.

However, for China's political axe, which has almost no gold reserves, it is necessary to provide goods and raw materials to the Soviet Union every year according to the following orders, such as tea, leather, animal hair, antimony, tin, zinc, nickel, tungsten, silk, cotton, tung oil, medicinal materials, red copper, etc., China The specific type and quantity of goods delivered each year are determined by the Soviet Union.

Zhang Xuewu looked at the map and estimated that the two main transportation routes of Soviet weapons and military equipment should be no different from history. First, they were shipped from the Soviet Union's Sevastopol, Vladivostok and other ports to Hong Kong, Vietnam's coastal defense or Yangon, Myanmar, and transported to the hinterland of China via the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway or the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway. . The second is to use a car to transport from Almaty to Lanzhou through Horgos and Urumqi.

Zhang Xuewu remembers that in the early and middle stages of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Soviet Union provided China with a total of 1,285 aircraft in the form of preferential military loans, including 770 fighter planes, 415 bombers and 100 training aircraft. However, the main types of Soviet Chinese fighter aircraft are И-15 and И-16. Compared with the Type92 and Type93 destroyers of the Japanese Army, these two fighters are still competent. However, if faced with the Zero War developed by the Japanese Army or fighters such as BF-109F, then the И-15 and И-16 are different. It's too far.

This time, the Japanese army attacked China. Dozens of Japanese divisions on the north and south lines were marching fiercely, or waiting in a strict seal. The [***] team made a tenacious resistance in Shanghai, but the whole Shanxi [***] team abandoned their armor, and the Jin Army, the Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Eighth Route Army and other departments firmly defended Jin. In the northwest, it is dependent on the headquarters of the Rehe Legion in Suiyuan, and forms a state of opposition with the Japanese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

The repeated defeats of the [***] team scared the Soviets into a cold sweat. They needed a force that could effectively contain the main force of the Japanese army to the north. Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion was undoubtedly the best choice. In fact, as early as the beginning of 1937, Zhang Xuewu sent Feng Heping, Rehe, Chahar and Sui. The Secretary-General of the Three Provinces paid a secret visit to the Soviet Union.

Feng Heping received an extremely warm reception in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had a strong interest in assisting Suiyuan Baotou Industrial Zone, but Zhang Xuewu knew very well that the Soviets came for Sino-German cooperation projects such as BF-109F multi-purpose fighters and jackal tanks.

Zhang Xuewu doesn't have the talent of a great diplomat like Gu Weijun, the political axe of the Republic of China. What Zhang Xuewu will do is to be a rogue and let me exchange tungsten ore, iron ore and coal? I have nothing, but I want everything. This is Zhang Xuewu's principle. It can be said that the surname of the jackal tank and the performance in actual combat shocked the Soviets, because all models of fast tanks in active service of the Soviet army are vulnerable in front of the jackal. If the jackal is magnified on the blueprint, then Theoretically, the design and production of large jackal tanks only need to make some necessary adjustments.

The main reason why Zhang Xuewu has been hooking up with the Soviets but has not expressed his position is that the Nanjing political axe has not signed the Sino-Soviet non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union. He can't go to the front of the Nanjing national political axe. Sometimes it is not a good thing to walk too big.
