The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 241 The New Year in 1938 (seeking red flowers!)

The New Year's Day in 1938, for most Chinese people in this era, did not have the atmosphere of "Chinese New Year". After all, the Western calendar has not entered China for a generation, and people's habits are still Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Spring Festival. a major holiday.

On this day, Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, held a small ceremony as usual to celebrate the arrival of the new year!

Since Generalissimo Chiang came to power, every new year has not been very smooth. In 1931, Japan invaded the Northeast and annexed the Northeast in an all-round way the following year, followed by the [-]th Incident in Shanghai, the Suiyuan Incident, the Rehe Incident, the North China Incident, and the July [-]th Incident. This series of incidents can only illustrate One question, Japan has officially implemented the "Continental Strategy" of encroaching on China, and the Chinese nation can't bear it anymore, and there is no way back!

However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was the supreme military commander of the Republic of China, knew his own affairs.In the face of Japan's large-scale aggression, China is simply powerless to resist. In this war with only one winner, China has almost no chance of winning, because China and Japan are not heavyweight opponents at all.

What's even more hateful is that the factional disputes in the country have never stopped, and the warlord separatism has intensified!The previous armed forces of the gc party have not been wiped out, and a freak like Wu Aihua has appeared in a remote place in Fujian and Guangdong, making Chiang Kai-shek completely unsure of the pulse of this monster.If you say he is a warlord, he does not wantonly occupy territory like other people; if you say he is not a warlord, he wants to expand his army, and his army is not even a match for the Japanese.What's even more strange is his political views. He doesn't believe in either the Kuomintang's or the gcd's. However, his new policies in Fujian and Guangdong are not only consistent with some of the gcd's propositions, they are actually in line with the Kuomintang's people's livelihood principle Also consistent.What's even more hateful is that with just a little action from this person, Chen Jitang's hundreds of thousands of troops were incorporated into the National Defense Force. If he did something again, he didn't know who would become his ally.

This is an absolutely powerful faction, this is an opponent who is not the central government but is more influential than the central government!It can be said that in the past six months, Chiang Kai-shek has not looked at the information about the Japanese or the Japanese army at all. The Japanese, that's all. Research and study, the big deal is typing. Even if they can't win, Jiang is exhausted. National responsibility; however, Chiang Kai-shek was very interested in the information about Wu Aihua and the National Defense Forces. He asked Dai Li to report to him directly. As for the newspapers published in Fujian and Guangdong, Chiang Kai-shek read them with great interest.

Slowly, Chiang Kai-shek actually admired Wu Aihua, a young man.

If he belongs to the Kuomintang camp, he may not be able to hand over China to him. At least, military affairs can be handed over to him.This man can both train and fight!

Of course, economic matters can also be entrusted to him. This person has great talents in business and people's livelihood.

However, Jiang also understood that this was just his wishful thinking.Even Song Ziwen, a rebellious boy, did not agree to introduce Wu Aihua to the upper echelons of the central government, let alone the Kong family and the Chen family. They are rich local lords who want both power and money.

And most of the senior members of the Kuomintang, including Vice Chairman Wang, hated Wu Aihua even more, so Jiang's idea was still dead.

Maybe people like Song Erjie or Li Jishen can talk with Wu Aihua and others.Sometimes, Chiang Kai-shek thought so bitterly.

For Chiang Kai-shek, this new year in 1938 was no longer as calm as in previous years.In the past years, except for one year when "Xiaye" only met a few students in his hometown Fenghua, the New Year in other years, no matter what happened outside, this year must be passed.

This year is also going to be over once. Wang Shihe had already asked for the list of participating guests, and he gave it himself.However, this year is a bit embarrassing, because Chiang Kai-shek and many important party and state officials have left the capital and came to Wuhan.

Speaking of the capital, it also made Chiang Kai-shek angry.You say you are Japanese, why are you so aggressive? You took Shanghai in three days, and then divided your troops into three groups. You took Suzhou and Nantong in one day, and Huzhou in one day. At this time, I can’t leave. The national government is not my old Jiang. One person has a large family, so let's move it to Wuhan, the "interim government resident". If the Japanese army takes Nanjing and continues to push into Wuhan, then the national government will have to move to Chongqing, the "accompanying capital".

However, after the Japanese captured Suzhou, Nantong, and Huzhou, their good days came to an end.First, the Japanese Navy was hit by mines in the Jiangyin area, and almost the entire army was wiped out; then the 32nd Division was blown up by a burst of mines in a small place called Zhoujing Lane, leaving only a few thousand people, and Huang Wei's 11th Division picked them up. It was a bargain; and later, there were many tragic experiences in Little Japan. The air force bombed by the National Defense Force in the south, and three mysterious people confiscated Japanese cannons, luggage, ammunition, and ships everywhere. It is said that Kenji Doihara sent three divisions More than 8 members of the regiment failed to defend the equipment of his independent heavy artillery brigade. This... is this still a war?Could this be a storytelling book?

Therefore, for Chiang Kai-shek, this new year is a year of joy and worry.The good news is that the Japanese finally stopped their attack temporarily, and the capital Nanjing was temporarily protected. The worry is that the National Defense Forces are more powerful, coupled with the disturbance of mysterious figures, this China is becoming more and more chaotic, people who don’t listen to the Chairman , It seems that there are more and more... This New Year, Chiang Kai-shek's mood is really not good.

There is another person who is in an even worse mood during the New Year. This person is the Emperor Hirohito of the Great Japanese Empire. Some people say that the royal family has no family ties. This is also suitable for the Japanese royal family. Except for the Emperor Hirohito and the Empress Yoshiko, everyone else is subordinates and subjects. In the past New Year, the emperor always received congratulations from his subordinates and subjects in the palace, and had a cordial conversation with the subjects to show his image of being close to the people.

In the New Year of 1938, there was also such a ceremony. If everything goes well, this year’s New Year should have some new vibes. The jihad of the Empire of Japan has made remarkable progress. Nanjing, the capital of China, is just around the corner, and the breath of failure in the Battle of Pingjin will be wiped away!

However, since a week ago, the war in China has suddenly become strange. The naval power, army and air force of the Empire of Japan have been defeated one after another. What's more, the Empire of Japan suffered such a heavy loss. Caused by the "demon" trio.

Is there really such a so-called master in China who can come and go freely even when surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese imperial troops?Hirohito didn't believe it, if that's the case, why are all the generals of the imperial army still alive and well?Besides, the Great Japanese Empire also has masters. There are a group of high-level samurai (ninjas) in the imperial palace. They can deal with several or a dozen of them. When conditions are right, such as night raids, they can even deal with dozens. Yes, similarly, it is not surprising that there are such masters in China.However, the "demons" in China did not act at night, but fought openly against the Japanese Imperial Army in broad daylight.

Hirohito absolutely did not believe this, but not only Iwane Matsui, but also Kenji Doihara, Hisao Tani, and Heisuke Yanagawa also reported in the same way, and Kenji Doihara also took photos, which were very clear It shows that the three "demons" have a kind of artillery that has never been seen before, and only two (Hirohito thinks so) artillery can beat Kenji Doihara's 8 army without any power to fight back.

Of course, Hirohito did not believe that these generals and lieutenant generals lied to him.So, what is the problem?Is there really such an "invulnerable" master in China who "takes the head of a general among a million troops"?If there is, what should the Imperial Japanese Army do?Even if these three "demons" cannot truly be invulnerable, then, who can decipher their powerful "stealing" ability, the ability to make the imperial army's supplies, ammunition, artillery, tanks, and ships disappear out of thin air?

If it can't be cracked, that is, if it can't stop the "devil" from continuing to do evil, no matter how much supplies the Imperial Japanese Army has, it will be stolen.

A few days after the imperial army retreated, the domestic newspapers could only report that the imperial army was consolidating the occupied area and cleaning up "law and order". capture?When can China be occupied?

Of course, Hirohito can ignore the doubts of the people, but he can't go without results for a long time.But, where did this victory come from!Matsui Iwane has been caused by the "demon" to suffer from myocardial angina and is vomiting blood. Should he change his generals and send another person to take charge of the affairs of the East China Front Army?

Thinking of this, Hirohito is not interested in celebrating this new year. He had to deal with the representatives of the subjects, and then hastily summoned a group of people from the base camp to discuss countermeasures against the "demon".

If the leaders of the two countries in the East were not in a good mood during the New Year in 1938, then Hitler, the head of the German Empire and the Nazi Party in Europe, seemed particularly happy.First, he delivered a speech to the citizens of the German Empire, talking about the fate of Germany, Germany's achievements and the future of Germany; then, he returned to his official residence to have lunch with several leaders of the Nazi Party.

Chinese people don't talk about food, but Westerners don't have this taboo.During the meeting, Hitler talked a lot about the situation in Germany and Europe. When talking about the war in Asia, he pointed out that some people in the Nazi party were ignorant. "Anti-Gc Agreement", he said that Japan will not be China's opponent, because China has a Wu Aihua National Defense Force, whose military equipment is at least ten years ahead of Japan's.

1938 was a lucky year for Hitler, who first annexed Austria bloodlessly in the spring of March and then took control of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia without a single shot sometime in the fall.

Driven by the Nazi Party, the chariot of the German Empire has rumbled towards the critical point of the war!
