Agents of the Republic of China

After landing in Hong Kong, Dong Jiacheng and Dong Jiayi and his party finally arrived at the accompanying capital Chongqing after another four days of traveling.In Chongqing at this time, the hustle and bustle of the Spring Festival had just passed, and except for the Japanese bombing that came almost every day, the order of life had gradually calmed down.

The Dong family has many business contacts and close friends in Chongqing. Dong Jiacheng and others also lived in an apartment near Jinbi Mountain under the help of a local business leader.

After that, Dong Jiacheng quickly contacted his apartment in Chongqing, and they met soon.Dong Jiayi and He Youjing were also able to meet with Shangzhi.

When the three women met, they suddenly became teary-eyed.At this moment, the worries and fears that have been coming all day finally have someone to confide in.During the time in Chongqing, although Yugong was at the helm of major events, Shangzhi still did not dare to take the matters that Lin Xiaotang explained before leaving. Lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.Seeing Dong Jiayi who hadn't seen him for a long time at this time, Shangzhi couldn't hold back the emotions in her heart anymore, and threw herself into Dong Jiayi's arms and cried bitterly.

Dong Jiayi stroked Shangzhi's hair, and understood in her heart why she became like this, and she shed tears with He Youjing.

Yugong sighed, after listening to Dong Jiacheng's explanation, he understood that Dong Jiayi and He Youjing were also worried about the safety of Lin Xiaotang and Datou, so they came to Chongqing on their own initiative. Mouth.

"Okay, girls, don't wipe your tears anymore. I have already arranged the relationship in the army, and they are all on the front line in Changde. For now, Xiaoqi and the others are still very safe. The Japanese soldiers have just arrived at the periphery. It's just the most basic attack, far from a fierce battle. No news at this time is the best news, you know?"

Only then did the three of Dong Jiayi stop their mourning and looked at Yugong.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside, the door curtain was lifted, and Bai Qi ran in from outside with his face covered in sweat, "Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jiang, good news!"

Yu Gong smiled, pointed at Bai Qi and said to Dong Jiacheng and the others: "Don't mind, this is Xiao Qi's brother-in-law, Bai Qi, Bai Dingguo, they have been inquiring about news from Changde for the past two days, and they have to take care of themselves. It's a big mess, completely busy and confused, people are a little hysterical!"

Only then did Bai Qi realize that there were a few more people in the room, and then he apologized and greeted everyone.After that, he impatiently sent a copy of "Xinhua Daily" and the account to Yu Gong, "Jiang Bo, good news, the Tokuyama defenders repelled the Japanese attack, defeated the Toda Regiment, killed the leader of the Toda Regiment, and captured the Regiment Battle flag!" "Also, the foreigner said that the defenders of Deshan bravely rescued the American pilots, and the Americans demanded that the national government do their best to rescue them!"

Yugong was taken aback, "Deshan?"

Only then did Bai Qi understand, and hurriedly explained, "According to reliable sources, Yu Chengwan of the 57th Division appointed Xiaoqi to supervise the front line of Deshan. Deshan is the southern gate of Changde, and the troops there belong to the 63rd Division. Yu Chengwan is also afraid There is a loss in Deshan, and it also leaves a way out for Xiao Qi, if the battle situation is unfavorable, Xiao Qi and the others can retreat into the deep mountains at any time."

Yu Gong and the others suddenly realized, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the whole room became cheerful.Yugong couldn't help nodding, "I can't see that Xiao Qi's troops also have two brushes!"

Dong Jiayi frowned after reading the extras, as if she had sensed something, "Jiang Bo, Youzhong took so much trouble to save the American pilot, are you going to use this pilot to make something."

Yugong chuckled and pointed at Dong Jiayi, "Jiayi, I have spent the past two years with Xiaoqi in Shanghai, and my observation and analysis skills have improved!" Yugong said grimly: "I think so too, Xiaoqi They are currently sticking to the isolated city, and the reinforcements from all walks of life are still the same, shrinking and hesitating, for fear of fighting the Japanese army to the death and losing their own capital. At this time, they have to use a strong medicine to force them to advance quickly !"

Dong Jiacheng stood up, "Jiang Bo, if you need us to do something, you can assign tasks. As long as you give an order, we will mobilize all resources, create a huge momentum for Xiao Qi and the others, and force Lao Jiang to go down." Death order, urge reinforcements from all walks of life to advance quickly!"

……

Yugong and Dong Jiacheng first learned about the situation of the rescued American pilot Sean in detail. During this period, they also learned about Sean's personal situation and the determination of the U.S. government to rescue him, which made everyone even more excited.

On the other hand, Dong Jiayi and He Youjing made full use of the influence of the Dong family and the He family in Chongqing. At the same time, he said that if the Changde Defense War is won, it will help overseas Chinese and major families to further increase their donations and support for the domestic war of resistance.During this period, Dong Jiayi and He Youjing were inevitably chased by wild bees and butterflies, and all of these people were beaten up without exception. A man of short stature.

Dong Jiacheng hibernated in the apartment, locked himself in the room, wrote several reports in one breath, and then immediately sent them to several newspapers in Chongqing that had connections with the Dong family and the League. Preparation, once the manuscript arrived, proofreading, typesetting, and printing began immediately. In the whole afternoon, except for the one-hour pause due to avoiding the Japanese bombing, the printing machines of several newspaper offices were constantly printing numbers for the rest of the time.

At dinner time, the entire streets of Chongqing were flooded with newsletters. People scrambled for the newsboys' newsletters, and without exception, they were deeply attracted by the titles and contents of the explosive magazines on the newsboys.On the streets of Chongqing between the bombings, in various teahouses, almost everyone had a copy of the account exuding the fragrance of ink, and they were seriously reading and thinking.

The extra title of "Chongqing Times" is "One and Ten Thousand, How Should We Choose?" ", "In order to save a soldier who lost three brothers, the Americans did not hesitate to send paratroopers to take the risk of airborne, but in the same area, there are still [-] of our Japanese soldiers waiting for reinforcements. What about our reinforcements, they Where, are they still wandering not far from Changde City? One and Ten Thousand, facing different choices, their fate is the same, there are only two choices, either life or death, and life and ten thousand Between death, what can we do?"

The extra title of "Ta Kung Pao" is "All-out Rescue Changde City!" ", "Changde controls Bashu and Jindai Dongting. It is located in the northwest of Hunan. Guizhou’s main land transportation route, marching towards Changsha, threatening Chongqing, in order to contain the Chinese expeditionary force going to Burma, and seize the opportunity to seize food and other resources in the Dongting Lake area to achieve the purpose of supporting war with war. Therefore, the first battle in Changde must not be lost!”

Cathay Cinemas in Chongqing, however, lost no time in releasing the movie "Defend Our Land" and invited people from all walks of life to watch it for free.All of a sudden, movie theaters flocked to watch movies, and it was hard to find a ticket.

Chongqing is boiling, and the Southwest is boiling. Generals from all over the country have called Chongqing, demanding to join the war immediately and serve the country; civil organizations, social organizations, major political parties, and people from all walks of life have taken to the streets to carry out massive voluntary activities.

In the night, as soon as the roar of enemy planes and the sound of air defense sirens dissipated, the streets of Chongqing were crowded with crowds of people who took to the streets to petition and parade, ranging from octogenarians in their 80s and [-]s to children who were still young. No matter men, women, old or young, people waved the slogans in their hands, and there was only one voice in their mouths—"Rescue Changde!" In the early winter season, Chongqing, which was once jokingly called the stove, could not feel the slightest chill. At this moment, occupying The whole city is full of people's passion for the war of resistance.

The celebration of the victory of the Deshan defense line has just come to an end, but the calls for the national government to march quickly to break the siege of Changde have been louder and louder. The US government has expressed its attitude to the outside world through various channels. In addition, the U.S. military will also use the original volunteer air force, which has been renamed the No.14 Air Force of the U.S. Air Force in China, as the main force, and will do its best to provide maximum air support and support for the Changde defenders and various reinforcements. Supplies.

……

"Mother Xipi!" In the Huangshan mansion, Chiang Kai-shek threw a stack of newspapers on the table, "Who leaked the news!"

A group of staff, attendants and generals looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to speak up.After watching for a long while, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chiang Kai-shek's literary and confidant Chen Bulei and Defense Minister He Yingqin had no choice but to stand up.

He Yingqin cleared his throat, "Chairman, this is not actually a matter of leaking military secrets. After all, there are American journalists accompanying the army in Changde. You know their American temper. As long as it is to gain attention, what is it?" It can be done, not to mention that Tokuyama has just rescued a US military pilot."

Chiang Kai-shek glared, "It's good now, it seems that I don't want to do my best to rescue, all the spearheads and pressure are directed at me, tell me, how to solve this trouble now?"

Chen Bulei then replied: "In my humble opinion, this matter may not be a bad thing. You see, Changde is currently in a hard fight, and it is obvious that the reinforcements from all walks of life are ineffective. Through the reports of the Americans, we can definitely reduce the pressure. Transferred to the front-line generals. Before, the chairman had promised to US President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill that the Japanese army would be severely damaged in Changde, and Changde would never fall. At this time, it is entirely possible to use this as an excuse to strictly order reinforcements from all walks of life to rescue quickly. Also, we can make a big fuss about the U.S. pilots and win a larger amount of U.S. aid."

Chiang Kai-shek sat back in his chair and nodded slowly, "Okay, let's do as you two want. Immediately send a report to the headquarters of the commanders of the Sixth and Ninth Theaters, and strictly order all participating troops to move forward. For the former and passive disobedient, Long Muhan and Xue Weiying (Note 14) are their role models! Immediately contact Stilwell and Belle Li, and ask them to inform the No.[-] Air Force to provide air cover for the ** counterattack!"

Note [-]: Long Muhan, Xue Weiying.The two were both from the Whampoa family and were both lieutenant generals of the National Revolutionary Army. During the Battle of Wuhan, they were executed by Chiang Kai-shek's strict military order because they were not good at commanding operations.
