Chapter 7 Storm and Evil

The gunshots of ten different places fell, and the German army stopped and transferred the German main force from the eastern front to the western front while issuing a peace initiative... The battlefield in Asia swept across the Japanese main force in North China. He hurried south and quickly entered Anhui, Shandong, and formed three attack groups north of the Yangtze River. He targeted the Henan attack group in the first war zone. The Xuzhou attack group and the Bengsha Dingyuan attack group in the fifth war zone. To the south of the Yangtze River, Nencun Ningji moved the headquarters to Wuhu, and the 106th Division and the 3rd Division conquered Xuancheng Ningguo and cleared the flanks.

The war clouds are pressing down. The air in Wuhan is becoming increasingly tense, military transportation is becoming more and more frequent, and a new round of factory relocation has quietly begun. Important factories in the Two Lakes area have been demolished one after another, and the workers' families have embarked on the road to the west. Behind them are nearly 200,000 migrant workers are building fortifications along the Yangtze River.

Japanese planes attacked Wuhan more frequently, and air combat broke out almost every day. Citizens remained enthusiastic. Whenever the two armies fought, the rooftop slopes were always filled with people, and they were happy for the air force soldiers.

.

A series of battles. The new Japanese aircraft named Zero aircraft showed its power. The Chinese Air Force suffered more losses than Japan. The Chinese Air Force, which was already at a disadvantage in number, was even more stretched. On October 11, forty-seven E and Iran battled over Wuhan. As a result, the Chinese Air Force was defeated, and 17 were shot down and twenty-four were injured. None of the Zero aircraft suffered losses.

Faced with the crisis, Air Force Commander Qian Dajun made a mistake in the previous article, and the Air Force has become an army alone. It is no longer the Aviation Commission convened Wang Shuming, Zhou Zhirou and Soviet adviser Vahilevsky to fabricate it, but no real name was found to discuss countermeasures. Gao Zhihang proposed to change the tactics. Judging from several air battles, the turning radius of this aircraft was maneuverable and flexible. The only disadvantage was that the dive speed was insufficient. Taking advantage of this defect, the tactic of fighting and running. Once the tail was bitten by the zero-type, the dive could be deflected and the zero-type could be used.

After hearing this, Qian Dajun decided that Gao Zhihang would preside over the re-formulation of the air combat code. Gao Zhihang summoned dozens of Li Guidan and others to discuss more than 30 tactical principles, 20 of which were targeted at Zero fighter jets.

On October 18, China and Japan launched a decisive battle for the main air force again. The Japanese army invested more than 220 Zero fighter jets and Gu and Blade fighter jets to cover 130 bombers to assault Wuhan. The Chinese Air Force took off with 200 Iraqi aircraft, and the two sides fought fiercely outside Wuhan.

The flying planes were filled with planes from high to low altitude. Citizens watching the battle on the roof avoided the battle and pulled a long roar. Hankou Railway Station and Hanyang Arsenal were shot one after another. The houses were burning, and the firetrucks pulled the alarm to put out the fire. In the sky, the kawaii dived with artillery fire, knocking a vomit to explode, and then continued to dive, until more than 300 meters above the ground before leveling the fuselage and leaving the Yangtze River.

The bombing did not scare away a small number of Wuhan citizens who were leaking out. They were still on the hillside and on the roof, cheering for the Air Force. The streets were in chaos. A Ford car avoided the various vehicles coming from inside, drove out of the city, and entered the Eighth Route Army Office outside the city.

Zhou Ganglai came out of the car and walked into the office quickly. Most of the people in the office were evacuated. It seemed empty. Secretary Huang Shaobai hurriedly dissuaded Zhou Arrival. Zhou Ganglai shook his head and insisted on walking into the office. He threw a wink. The guard turned around and ran towards the air-raid shelter.

After a while, Dong Wu hurried in: "Just come, why are you still here? Go quickly, go quickly, go to the air-raid shelter."

Zhou Pulai shook his head and said, "The Japanese planes were not coming to us. Besides, our air force is resisting, and they have no chance to cause trouble for us."

Dong Wu sighed and shook his head, pulled the chair and sat opposite Zhou Ganglai. Zhou Ganglai was stunned and then said, "Old Dong. You should go to the air-raid shelter, I'll stay."

"You haven't said that the Japanese don't care about us yet." Dong Wu smiled indifferently. Zhou Ganglai smiled bitterly and shook his head, stood up and took off his hat. Dong Wu smiled as well and followed him out.

Zhou Ganglai's pace was not too fast and taking care of Dong Wu's footsteps. He said as he walked: "Old Dong, does the Central Committee report on the situation in North China?"

"Here you." Dong Wu's tone was a little low. As the Japanese army withdrew, the war in North China temporarily calmed down. All localities began to rectify their troops, organize and summarize the experience and teachings of the anti-encirclement and suppression. The report on the war situation was still relatively rough. Even if it was rough, it could be seen that the situation was very bad.

.

"The wing has fallen, all counties are occupied by the Japanese army, the troops are forced to disperse guerrillas, local governments and party organizations suffer great losses, and a large number of party members and backbone masses have died. The entire base party organization is basically paralyzed."

Zhou Ganglai had thick eyebrows and frowned deeply. Although he had intelligence support, the gap in strength was too big and the loss was still so big: "Where is the army?"

"Lu Zhengcao's troops were reduced by one third, and the Fifth Division was reduced by one quarter." Dong Wu said heavily: "The central government is considering whether to withdraw Lu Zhengcao's troops to Taihang Mountain to rest, leaving only some troops in the wing to persist."

The main force of the Japanese army withdrew from the wing, but left a division seat to defend the division. The entire wing began to build roads, ", almost everywhere. The troops' marching room has become more and more, and the wounded are hard to be strong. It is also difficult to replenish food. On the wing plain of the North China granary, the troops have lost food. The hardship can be imagined. Temporary withdrawal from the wing is a good way to preserve their strength.

"Where is Yi Nan and Yi Lu Yu?" Zhou Enlai asked again. Despite his mental preparation, he could not help but feel disappointed. Since the seemingly grand Yi Zhong base is so vulnerable, one hundred thousand Japanese troops will be in the way. What is the reason? Zhou Ganglai fell into deep thoughts.

"Just come, there is something else." Dong Wu did not notice Zhou Ganglai's expression and continued: "Comrade Kenong reported. Both comrades in the Southwest Development Team did not rebel. But they have been exposed and it is recommended to withdraw them. One of the several members of their development in the Southwest Development Team is a spy of the Military Control Commission. The others are not hindered and it is recommended to withdraw the same. The identification of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and the Sichuan East Special Committee is still continuing. No rebels have been found at present, but most of the entire Special Committee should have been controlled by Zhuang Jihua. This is the information of Blade."

Zhou Ganglai stopped suddenly, and Dong Wu could not stop and almost ran into him. Zhou Ganglai immediately turned around and supported Dong Wu. Dong Wu stood firm and looked at him with some confusion. Zhou Ganglai rarely loses his composure like this.

"Immediately let Comrade Kenong go to Chengdu to contact Zhuang Jihua. Can you support a batch of weapons and ammunition, especially the rocket launcher?"

Dong Wu was silent. Zhuang Jihua said it very clearly last time that arms were no longer provided. Based on his understanding of Zhuang Jihua's actions, he was a man who kept his word. An airplane passed by with a long roar. A violent explosion came not far away. Re-elected at the same time woke up and immediately accelerated his pace toward the air raid shelter.

The air raid shelter was relatively narrow and filled with office staff. When people saw them coming in, they immediately dodged the way. When they arrived at the bottom, Bo Gu and Kaifeng were both there, but Ye Ying was not there. Bo Gu and Kaifeng obviously also guided the central government's notice, but this environment was not suitable for discussion.

Half an hour later, the air raid alarm was lifted and people came out of the air raid shelter. Zhou Ganglai and others returned to the office. Bogu and Kaifeng also followed Zhou Ganglai's office.

"Just come, have you seen the propaganda slogans of Zhongxue about the defense of Wuhan?" Bo Gu entered the door

.

"Look, I'm about to talk to you about this. Xinhua Daily's propaganda tone is about to decline. It is necessary to promote the Wuhan defense war from the perspective of a long-term war of resistance. The Chairman's "On Protracted War" made it very clear that it is still the strategic defense stage and does not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place. The purpose of defending Wuhan is to eliminate the vitality of the Japanese army." Zhou Ganglai said calmly.

"However, if this kind of remark has been made before the war of defense in Wuhan has begun, will it be considered a failure? The pessimistic argument is that the Central Daily News has a very high tone.

Bo Gu was a little puzzled.

Perhaps because of the feeling that the fierce battle was about to begin again, the arguments of the Central Daily News suddenly became higher. It claimed that it would defend Greater Wuhan, which would be Verdun of the Sino-Japanese War, and it was the turning point of this war. Wuhan would never be lost as easily as North China.

"Chang Kai-shek has begun to retreat to the factory, I'm afraid this tone is just propaganda." On Thursday, Bo Gu said calmly. He was optimistic about the Wuhan defense battle, believing that the Kuomintang had completed the reorganization of 400,000 troops, and after two years of war, he defeated the Japanese army several times. The army was highly morale and full of confidence. He could fight head-on with the Japanese army and defeat the Japanese army's attack. Based on these, he expressed dissatisfaction with the central government's low-key propaganda.

"But we are low-key, they are high-profile, what will the people think of our party?" Kaifeng was also a little dissatisfied, but his psychology was different from Bo Gu. The development of the war proved that the proposition was correct, but he lost to the Kuomintang in propaganda, which made him very uncomfortable. He sang high-profile without paying.

Zhou Youlai stared at him with sharp eyes, and Kaifeng's voice suddenly became weaker. He wandered away from Zhou's gaze. Zhou Ganglai's gaze became softer.

"We don't care what others do, stick to our own opinions, and facts will tell the people that we are right."

"We just said it right. We do our own thing, no matter others judge their shortcomings." Dong Wu also expressed his support: "Hitler's peace tricks will not work, the European war will not stop in a short period of time, and the same is true for the War of Resistance. We do not have the strength to launch a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese, and Chiang Kai-shek will not really fight in Wuhan."

After Bo Gu and Kaifeng left, Zhou Zhoulai said: "All our people in the Southwest Development Team, including the Military Intelligence Bureau spy, were withdrawn together. Except for Chi Jinming and others, all the others were sent to Yan'an."

Dong Wu smiled slightly and said in his heart that this was absolutely wonderful. The Military Control Commission spies who went to Yan'an would have to contact the spies, so that they could follow the clues. The General's organization in Yan'an was completely eliminated.
