Chapter 23 Who Guards the Capital

After Gao Fei sent Lin Shujie away, he immediately exchanged the 5 yuan check for 30 Kuaiyang and a large amount of national currency. Holding a German-made p-[-] submachine gun, he drove him to Fang Guozhong, Xu Houde, The recruiting point for Big Bowl Noodles and others.

Fang Guozhong, Xu Houde, big bowl of noodles, and small glasses can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Acquaintances ask for news about capable people from all walks of life. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know each other. We have a lot of bills on hand. For privates with four and a half yuan a month and sergeants with nine yuan, 50 yuan is a temptation. !Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 503

Although there is a one-to-one exchange ratio between Dayang and national currency on the market, in fact, it takes one and a half national currency to exchange for one Dayang, especially when the Japanese came over in a hurry. The strongest thing, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, the warlords fought among factions, and the Chinese people still couldn't believe the various banknotes that didn't stick to them.

Since Gao Fei took the route of elite soldiers, he had to personally assess the strengths of each recruit he recruited. When Gao Fei was busy recruiting troops, on November 1937, 11, at the Chiang Kai-shek official residence villa in Nanjing Zhongshan Mausoleum Within the same period, the Supreme Military Commission of the Nationalist Government held an emergency meeting for the third time on the matter of defending Nanjing.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very dignified. He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang, Luo Zhuoying, Gu Zhutong, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, Liu Fei, Tang Shengzhi and others were all sitting in it.

After Chiang Kai-shek looked around at the crowd, he looked at Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi naturally knew what Commissar Chiang meant, but fighting is not about treating guests to dinner. To give you the face of Generalissimo Jiang?So what if you look good and can't win the battle?How can a war be dealt with just a bit?

Bai Chongxi was not polite, and he stood up directly and said, "Everyone, I still have the same attitude as before. I think our army did not implement the spirit of the strategy of persistent consumption in the later period of the Songhu Battle, and did not adjust the front line in a timely manner to preserve the combat strength of the troops. We should believe the lies of the Nine-Power Pact, and we shouldn’t have been stalemate with them for too long in the Yangtze River Delta, where the Japanese army, sea, land and air can coordinate operations easily. We have made strategy a political sacrifice, so that our army is completely passive now, and our army should persist for a long time. The basic principle of the attrition strategy should not be concerned about the gains and losses of a city or a place. In terms of winning or losing with the Japanese army, which has an absolute advantage in technology, equipment and weapons, it is necessary to start a comprehensive and protracted war with the Japanese from a comprehensive strategic perspective. When the Japanese army had to send out a squadron or even a brigade to defend every county in our country, even if the Japanese army had won some tactics, it would undoubtedly be defeated in terms of overall strategy.”

It can be said that Bai Chongxi's words did not save much face for Generalissimo Jiang, who claimed to have a unique strategic vision. Chiang Kai-shek's face looked very gloomy, because the reason for the final defeat in the Songhu Battle mentioned by Bai Chongxi had already become the main reason for losing the strategic initiative. It was all because Chiang Kai-shek blindly had great hopes for the Nine Nations Pact in the later period.

Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Liu Fei, the director of the first department of the Military Command Department, and said, "You are the director of the war department, let me share your views. The battle of Songhu has ended, so it is meaningless to talk about it now. What we need to face now is Nanjing. How to defend the location of our capital, first the location of the prime minister's mausoleum!" 7470109
