The Chongqing German Arms Division cooperated with the Sixth Corps Armored Group Army and captured a large number of Japanese prisoners in this battle on the edge of the Yangtze River.

Among them, Commander Anan Weiji of the Eleventh Army has the highest military rank.

In addition to Anan Weiji, there were three major generals and more than twenty junior officers among the prisoners.

After the battle, senior military officers such as Anan Weiji were "publicly displayed" and interviewed by reporters accompanying the army in Chongqing and North China.

"Anan Weiji was the chief culprit in the two Changsha battles. During the war, he was full of conspiracies and tricks. Did he want to pretend to be crazy and act stupid to escape trial?"

Looking at Anan Weiji who was stunned under the reporter's flashlight, Xue Yue frowned slightly and said.

As an old rival, Xue Yue went to see Anan Weiji immediately after hearing that he was captured.

However, what disappointed Xue Yue was that Anan was in a state of stupidity and numbness. No matter how the people around him teased and stimulated him, he remained unmoved.

Only when people try to take the lieutenant general's command sword in his hand will his demeanor change, from numbness to violence.

Anan Weiji's eyeballs have returned to normal color, but they look even more stupid than before.

Jiang Dong folded his hands, looking like he was watching a show.

"Whether he is really crazy or fake, and whether he can see or not, it will not interfere with the trial of the military court. He must bear legal responsibility for what he has done."

Jiang Dong looked at the excited Chinese and foreign reporters, changed the subject and asked:

"Commander Xue, the battle against the 11th Army is over. My 6th Army will arrive in Anqing soon. Our army is about to launch an operation to regain Nanjing and Shanghai."

"What does Commander Xue plan to do next? Will he participate in the final battle against the Japanese invaders?"

With a warm smile on his face, Jiang Dong handed over the decision-making power to Xue Yue.

Xue Yue turned his head and glanced at Jiang Dong, then hesitantly said:

"To be honest, Commander Jiang, I have received a telegram from the principal. The German Mechanic's footsteps will stop in Jiujiang."

The smile on Jiang Dong's face did not diminish, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

Is the principal planning to break the pot?

Or does he think he can firmly hold the southwestern provinces in his hands?

Jiang Dong sighed and said:

"That's such a pity. The last battle against the Japanese invaders will definitely leave its name in history and be praised and sung by future generations. The people, history and the ups and downs on this land will all remember it."

"Perhaps the principal was afraid of stealing the spotlight from the Sixth Corps, so he ordered the German weapon master to stop."

"The principal is the principal, he is so generous!"

Xue Yue heard the teasing tone in Jiang Dong's words, but he couldn't answer and had to smile awkwardly.

………

On May 23, the news of the great victory in Jiujiang and the complete annihilation of the Japanese Eleventh Army had spread throughout the country.

Since the emergence of the Sixth Corps, it has been rare to see news about the national army's great defeat or great escape in the newspapers.

People have become accustomed to great victories.

Despite this, liberated students in major cities enthusiastically joined the parade.

More and more people feel that the final battle against the Japanese invaders shouted by the 6th Corps is not an empty slogan, but a real action, and it has a high possibility of being realized.

When they thought that the Japanese invaders, who almost defeated the Nationalist government, were about to be driven out of the sacred land of China, the excitement and emotion in the hearts of the people could not be suppressed.

Counting from the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the invaders have been wreaking havoc on the land of China for five years.

If it started from the tragic September 18th, it would have been 10 years.

During such a long period of time, tens of millions of Chinese people died under the knife of the Japanese, and villages and cities were massacred one after another.

The hatred of the country and the family cannot be forgotten.

Some people began to shout slogans of blood debts being repaid with blood, and horses marching to Tokyo.

The so-called saying of repaying evil with kindness and influencing enemies with benevolence and righteousness has gradually disappeared.

Many people have noticed that the name of the commander of the Armored Group Army, Xiao Jiang, appeared frequently in reports from newspapers in North China and Chongqing.

Chongqing's Central Daily News even published an article interviewing Xiao Jiang.

In the eyes of people who don't know why, this is a sign of mutual goodwill between Chongqing and North China.

The feared civil war may not break out.

The Central Command and the Military Command control the public opinion of the country, which means that the principal in the office also controls it.

After reading the article interviewing Xiao Jiang, the principal's face darkened.

What was written in the newspaper was grand-sounding, warm and harmonious.

But only the principal and some people from the Military Command Bureau knew the actual situation.

The commander of the Armored Group Army is one of the core officers of the Sixth Corps and one of Jiangdong's most trusted people.

In this position, Xiao Jiang had gradually separated from the Chongqing government and his family.

In Xiao Jiang's own words, he will pursue a broader, brighter and more meaningful ideal.

This ideal does not involve bureaucracy, consortia and comprador capitalists.

The core of the ideal is the Chinese nation!

The principal's face was gloomy, and he said bitterly in his heart:

"After all, we are not biological!"

Strength determines everything. If we don't work hard, the Japanese and Chinese dispatched troops today will be the Chongqing government tomorrow.

The principal suppressed the complicated emotions and asked Wang Shihe:

“Are the British and American ambassadors still protesting?”

Wang Shihe nodded.

"These are capitalist countries, and the interests of big capitalists are national interests."

The Chairman gave a faint hum, thought for a moment and then said:

"Taxes, privileges, etc., as long as they are not excessive, we will give them whatever they want."

"I have only one condition, and that is to let British and American capitalists help Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan and other places develop industry!"

The equipment for the 60 German mechanics is supplied by North China.

Jiangdong also "filializes" a batch of drugs such as alcohol, sulfonamides and penicillin that are in short supply in the army every year.

In short, the situation of the government and the military has improved greatly compared to a few years ago.

The principal wanted to use the mineral resources of the southwest and northwest to develop industry with the help of Western capitalists.

This is the only way to strengthen yourself.

Everyone in the government knew what the principal was thinking, and after the order was issued, various departments began to take action quickly.

However, the lifeblood of the national economy is in the hands of a few large families.

These families consider their own interests first, and then the government.

The reason why North China develops so rapidly.

It was because Jiangdong brought together people from various systems of the military and civil affairs to twist their forces into one rope.

The mind thinks in one place and the energy goes in one place.

And the principal's government can never do this.

………

May 25, Tokyo, Japan.

On the desk of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo are several Chinese newspapers collected by the intelligence agency.

On the front of every newspaper, Tojo Hideki saw Anami's stupid head and numb eyes.

A few days ago, when he learned that the 11th Army had been completely wiped out, Hideki Tojo was furious and sent a fierce telegram to the headquarters of Japan's China Expeditionary Forces.

After getting angry, Tojo Hideki also realized the crisis of Japan dispatching troops to China.

Tojo Hideki had no time to consider whether Anami Yuki's capture alive had brought shame to the Japanese Empire.

Face is secondary, the most important thing at the moment is how to ensure the security of the homeland.

After taking a last look at the Chinese newspaper, Tojo adjusted his clothes and prepared to enter the palace to see the emperor.

Half an hour later, Emperor Hirohito and Tojo Hideki sat opposite each other, with two cups of tea with white smoke rising between them.

Hirohito's mood was a little low, and he didn't take a serious look at Prime Minister Tojo, whom he trusted most before.

Tojo Hideki felt ashamed for a while, so he bit the bullet and reported everything that had happened recently.

Hirohito lowered his head and listened, the expression on his face not changing much.

The report ended after more than 10 minutes.
