Chennault sighed and said: "General Guo, I hope you can be noble and transfer your troops back from Spain, because your motherland is fighting a war and needs these elite troops even more!"
I was really a little impatient and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chennault, in fact, some things between countries are hard to imagine. Let me tell you the truth, you see that I am glamorous on the surface, but in fact I am a poor person. You Do you think I want to fight in Spain?"[]
Chennault was stunned and asked: "You don't want to? Then you can just withdraw! We just need the Air Force, Navy, and Army. If you send them all back, Little Japan will definitely be finished!"
I patted his shoulder and replied: "If they all come, Little Japan hasn't finished playing yet! I'll finish playing first. Just look at Tang Shengzhi, General Feng, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang and others, and you'll know what's in their hands." What a fate without soldiers!"
Chennault fell into silence and held back a sentence for a while: "Aren't you a student of the Chairman?"
I laughed to myself. He replied: "Teachers hope that their students will surpass them, but if you surpass them when you are a child in your prime, there will only be one end!"
Chennault asked: "What will happen?"
I replied in a deep voice: "My head is in a different place!"
Chennault shook his head and said, "So those soldiers can't come back?"
I nodded and replied: "I can't come back, and I will allocate some troops to participate in other operations. I am planning to set up a mercenary army to fight all over the world. Are you interested in joining?"
Chennault rolled his eyes and replied: "Your motherland is suffering, and you still think about sending troops abroad. Isn't it a bit too much?"
I smiled and replied: "Captain Chennault, do you know why you are still a captain now? Oh, you are retired; but your classmates are all school-level officials. Do you want to know the reason?"
Chennault shook his head painfully and replied: "Maybe I behaved too badly"
I smiled and replied: "No, you can be wrong. It's not that you performed too badly, but that you performed too well. Our people in the United States investigated your resume and found that you are in the most popular Italian military field. In the face of the theorist Douhet's "bombing first" air combat theory, you have formed your own air combat theory. You have published two books, the first "Fighter Flying Skills Manual" written in 1923; the second was published in 1935 "The Role of Defensive Pursuit". These two books can be said to have opened my eyes. I feel that these two books were written for China and are very suitable for China's national conditions. I now solemnly extend an invitation to you. Join me and you will have it all"
I am tempting the little sheep like a big bad wolf!
Chennault shook his head and replied: "I just want to realize my ideal. I don't need a wealthy life, I just want an airplane!"
I smiled and replied: "Okay! My plane was not in vain. I hope you can go back to the United States to promote China's anti-Japanese war. I need to let Washington know about China from you, an American. What is the urgent need for the anti-Japanese war? Besides, let me tell you, we have planes, but we don¡¯t have the pilots to maintain the planes. You need to find a solution for this!"
Chennault was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and replied: "Okay!"
After saying that, I saluted him and walked out with Gao Zhihang. After we walked out the door, Gao Zhihang said: "Boss, I don't understand why we don't use it for them when we obviously have engineers?"
I smiled, turned around, and said, "After I went out this time, I started to think a little. For my motherland, I only need to send 600 planes and 600 pilots. We have bigger goals." , In addition, please remember that I bought these aircraft with my own money. I can't always have to pay for these things. No matter how capable a person is, he can't be above the country. It is better to give him fish than to give him money. Yu, you will understand this after the war of resistance is over!"
Gao Zhihang understood what he was hearing, and I said, "Let's go! Let's go back to Nanjing, and you can tell me about the war situation in Shanghai these days!"
That night, Gao Zhihang and I got on the train. After this guy arrived in Nanjing, he would take the planes brought back from the rivers distributed on the left and right of Nanjing to Nanchang. Of course, 600 pilots were also rushing south!
On the train, Gao Zhihang faced the military map of Shanghai and said: After you left, the Japanese army continued to increase their troops. While consolidating the front-line positions they occupied in Shanghai, they redeployed on the 29th, 30th, and 31st to Violent artillery fire cleared the way, and poison gas bombs were used at the same time. The 11th Division and the 3rd Division opened gaps in the directions of Chuanshakou and Wusong respectively.On the 31st, the Japanese 3rd Division dispatched the 63rd Regiment on ships to attack Wusong Town from the river under the cover of Japanese naval aviation and naval gunfire. The 61st Division of the Chinese garrison collapsed after a short battle due to insufficient preparation. At around 15:00, the Japanese army occupied Wusong Town, and then cooperated with the air, ground and naval gun support until they invaded Baoshan City on September 6. All members of the 1st Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division and the 94th Brigade, Yao Ziqing, were martyred and Baoshan was lost!
In the Shanghai area, on September 7, 10 brigades with reinforcements from North China began to land in Shanghai. The landing was completed on the 12th. Immediately, Matsui Iwane launched an attack, defeated the first part of the 87th Division in front of them, occupied the Grand Airport, and advanced to In the Military Industry Road area, it is difficult for our army's small-caliber artillery and rifles to pose a threat to the Grand Public University Airport. However, after our reminder, the engineers of the 87th Division have completely destroyed the Grand Public University Airport. Even if it needs to be repaired, it will take half a extra time!
On September 14, the Chongteng detachment, which came to Taiwan, landed at Chuanshakou, and immediately joined the 11th Division in the battle order. It tried to break through the 15th Group Army's defense, but failed. At present, the Japanese army occupied Wusong, Baoshan, Yuepu, In the area along the river north of the Luodian line, it is said that the Japanese army will have a large number of reinforcements coming ashore in the next two days. I think the current situation of the 15th Army is worrying. It has been fighting for such a long time and has been replenished three or four times. It is a bit unsustainable. Living! "
I muttered: "Today is already September 18th, and reinforcements are coming in the next two days. How are our troops doing?"
Gao Zhihang replied: "There are currently no changes in our army. Xing Degang is currently stepping up the training of security groups arriving from various places. General Chen Cheng and General Zhang Zhizhong have already sent telegrams to the Chief of Staff, saying that there are too few veterans on the front line and we need to transfer some The veterans joined the security groups in various places. The glasses chief of staff complied and dispersed all the 10,000 people in your security brigade and broke into the security groups, soso "
When he said this, he glanced at Yu Xiaoming, who smiled and replied: "So I am the polished commander, right?"
Gao Zhihang smiled and replied: "Your soldiers are really good. General Chen Cheng and General Zhang Zhi have praised you and promoted you. You are now a lieutenant general and division commander!"
Yu Xiaoming replied angrily: "I don't have a single soldier, so being promoted to lieutenant general is useless!"
I glared at him and replied: "You are stupid! Xing Degang is also thoughtful. He will definitely keep some military cadres. They said they want veterans, but they don't want your officers. Why are you anxious?" "
Yu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and I said: "I bet that after you return to the battlefield, your division will definitely increase in strength, and my troops will not become weaker as we fight!"
At this point, I paused and said: "I really don't want to fight a blocking war in Shanghai, but Falkenhausen, the German consultant invited by the Nationalist Government, insists that there is nothing I can do. The defensive front of a division is only 1,300 meters. Mi, how many people will die if this fucking cannon is fired?"
There was silence in the carriage. After a while, Gao Zhihang said: "Boss, this time the Japanese army did not know what happened. They started fighting regardless of the cost and worked hard, as if they wanted to cannibalize people." , so crazy! People from the Military and Political Department said it was related to the matter you discussed with the American Ambassador!"
I was stunned and replied: "Does it have anything to do with it?"
Gao Zhihang muttered: "It seems that you have cut off the Japanese people's financial path"
I was speechless and replied: "II didn't do anything? I just dumped some American goods through my hands. I made a little money and did the Japanese shit" "
Yu Xiaoming had a quick mind and said in a deep voice: "Boss, you have forgotten that many strategic materials of Little Japan are imported from the United States. If you do this, it is equivalent to pinching the lifeline of Little Japan, although it is a little small. , feels pretty good, right?¡±
"Ha ha ha ha"
I laughed wildly and said ferociously: "Little Japan, you also have this day. When I see you unhappy, I will squeeze your lifeblood without taking your life. It's so cool! It's so cool!"
"Hahaha"
Gao Zhihang said with lingering fear: "Boss Dale is crazy!"
After waiting for a while, he asked: "Yu Xiaoming, what will happen if you pinch your lifeblood?"
Yu Xiaoming curled up the corner of his mouth and replied: "What else can I do? It hurts when I squeeze my balls. Little Japan feels uncomfortable this time!"
