Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

After Zhou Bao left, Duanwu felt like he was taking a long breath, because finally, everything was on track. As long as nothing unexpected happens next, the purchase of Germany's weapons and equipment, coupled with the military assistance from the United States, will be enough to support the completion of the entire Wuhan Battle.

The Battle of Wuhan lasted for four and a half periods and ended with the Chinese army voluntarily withdrawing from Wuhan. From a battle perspective, Japan won by occupying Wuhan, but strategically, the Japanese army's strategic intentions were not actually achieved.

Due to the strong resistance of Chinese soldiers, Japan mobilized the largest force it could muster at the time and gave full play to its absolute advantages in land, sea and air equipment.

But even so, the Japanese army still fought hard for four and a half months. Not only did it fail to annihilate the main force of the national army and reduce the will of the national army to resist the war and to fight, but it also dealt a serious blow to the effective strength of the Japanese army.

According to post-war statistics of the Japanese army, the total number of casualties, including those of the navy and army, navy and aviation forces, was about 3.

Therefore, after the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese army, which was already feeling insufficient in strength, became increasingly insufficient as the front extended. It was unable to organize a large-scale strategic attack and was forced to switch to defense.

On the contrary, China preserved its strength during this battle and gradually developed from the strategic defense stage to the strategic stalemate stage.

The war of aggression launched by Japan against China will also fall into the quagmire of war that the Japanese least want to see.

Therefore, although China lost the Wuhan Battle, the little devils did not gain anything.

Of course, Dragon Boat Festival did not want to see the Japanese army capture Wuhan.

They participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Dragon Boat Festival, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army and eliminated a large number of their effective forces.

Therefore, Duanwu believes that the Battle of Wuhan may become a turning point.

But this requires a lot of preparation. The Battle of Wuhan, Duanwu speculates, will happen within the next month or two, and by that time, it will be time to see the outcome.

But before that, Duanwu had to do one more thing, which was to prepare a contract with August to purchase German weapons and equipment, and then apply for funding from the Ministry of Finance.

Duanwu was a little worried that the Ministry of Finance was unwilling to spend so much money to purchase weapons and equipment. After all, Duanwu calculated that the Ministry of Finance was currently financially tight.

Therefore, Duanwu needs to consider how he can get so much money if the Ministry of Finance does not have that much money.

Duan Wu felt that he should go to his Uncle Song to ask, but at this moment, guards from the Presidential Palace knocked on the door and reported to Duan Wu that the Chairman of the Standing Committee had invited him.

Duanwu felt that it was just right, and he was about to go to the old man to discuss matters related to arms. If there is the support of the old man and the support of Tang Jiujiu's father, Duanwu believes that it is still possible to get this grant.

So Duan Wu followed the guards of the Presidential Palace, but this time when he entered the villa of the Presidential Palace, he asked to leave his gun behind.

Dragon Boat Festival was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. After all, this time, he wiped out all Kitashirakawa Xi's group, and no one could match this achievement. The chairman of the committee discussed with several elders to hold a large celebration party, which was also scheduled.

So Danwu doesn't think anything will happen at this time. What's more, he has just finalized an arms deal. Although the contract has not been officially signed, it is obvious that the other party has no reason to regret it, otherwise they will not only make no money, but also have to pay $20.

So the Dragon Boat Festival stepped into the Presidential Palace.

There were more than a dozen guards in the house. Except for the captain of the guard, many of them had never been seen during the Dragon Boat Festival, and all of them were loaded with guns and ammunition as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

But at this moment, the guard captain greeted him with his usual smile: "Uncle, you are here. Please come inside. The chairman of the committee is waiting for you."

"Yes!" Duanwu nodded, and then entered the living room, but he didn't expect that there were guards in the living room, and Director Xu and Boss Dai were also there. The chairman of the committee was sitting on the sofa near the inside, and behind him stood Secretary Yang.

Duan Wu glanced at Director Xu, who nodded slightly and smiled in apology. Looking at Boss Dai again, Boss Dai shook his head helplessly.

Duanwu felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he didn't care. He sat down and took a look first.

The chairman of the committee spoke at this moment: "Boy, don't you have anything to explain?"

"Ha ha!"

Duanwu laughed dryly, but didn't say anything. Because without any evidence, or without the Chairman making it clear, he had nothing to say.

But he seemed to have guessed what was going on. At this juncture, there is only one thing that can make the Chairman so mobilized, and that is the capture of evidence of his contact with the underground party.

In other words, Ma Ping'an may have been exposed.

Although Duanwu didn't know what was going on, it was probably the only thing that could make the Chairman so angry.

And sure enough, Secretary-General Yang took out a stack of photos from his briefcase and threw them on the tea machine in front of Duanwu.

Duanwu sat on the sofa without moving his buttocks. He just leaned forward and grabbed the photos in his hands.

They are all photos of Ma Pingan, and there are even photos of him and Ma Pingan.

These group photos are found everywhere from south to north, east to west. But the most important thing is the photo of Arima Ping An appearing in the Economic Development Office.

Duanwu smiled, because these photos did not look like they were taken secretly by military commanders or central commanders, but by Japanese spies.

Because if the military commanders and central commanders had such evidence, they would have given it to the chairman long ago. Why wait until today?

And when Duanwu entered the living room, he saw Director Xu and Boss Dai looking blank on their faces, which meant that this matter really had nothing to do with them.

Duanwu fell into deep thought for a moment, because he thought he had dug out all the spies lurking in the mountain city, but he didn't expect there were still more.

And he somewhat underestimated the ability of the special high school. He blamed the death of Kitashirakawa Aoi on the Special High School, but the Special High School resolved it so easily.

Of course, Danwu didn't know that Doihara was also a ruthless character. When Joharu got in touch with the Special High School, he was killed on the order of Doihara.

Doihara did not explain too much, but proved with actual actions that no matter who killed Prince Beibai, his subordinates would die if they were not protected. Moreover, Doihara also dedicated the submachine gun drawings drawn by Feng Baobao before his death to those nobles.

But when those Japanese nobles saw that Doihara had done this, they naturally lost their temper.

So Doihara gave Dano a blow with his backhand. This blow hit the Chairman's weak spot.

Because what the Chairman hates the most is the underground party, and Duanwu had close contact with the underground party, which offended the Chairman! .
