He Yingqin stood outside the airport waiting for something. Falkenhausen's face looked a little ugly. He kept wiping his glasses and looked at the northwest sky. After a while, a black spot appeared in everyone's field of vision.
This was a Soviet transport plane. Two hastily painted blue sky and white sun logos indicated his current nationality. The door of the plane opened and several Soviet officers stepped out.
The leader was a general in his forties. He saw Bai Chongxi saying in somewhat broken Chinese, "Hey, we meet again, are you okay?"
He Yingqin smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Cherepanov, welcome to come to China again. The Chairman of the Generalissimo is waiting for you."
Cherepanov turned back and pointed at the few people behind him and said, "These are also members of our advisory group this time. General Zhukov is good at coordinated operations. You have met General Zhigalev."
Cherepanov looked at Falkenhausen and said, "Hello, General Falkenhausen, I look forward to taking over your job."
Falkenhausen gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "After the banquet, I will share our ideas and information with you."
He Yingqin quickly smoothed things over and said, "Now that we have two of your great country's military advisors, why worry about the Japanese invaders not being wiped out? Come on, let's go see the commissioner."
Falkenhausen looked at the attentive He Yingqin and the defiant Soviet officer corps, sighed and said, "Let's go too."

Jiang Cheng looked at the plane in front of him and took a breath. Although he had flown many times and seen fighter planes from the Republic of China era many times, he still couldn't believe it when he thought that these planes belonged to him.
It feels like these planes will be brought to Yan'an soon, and then fly into the sky to kill the enemy...
Gallagher looked at Jiang Cheng's unpromising appearance and couldn't help but said, "Look at your potential, where are you now? They are just some toys. From now on, I will show you what a real battleship is, which is bigger than the moon."
Have you ever seen a big battleship?”
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I can't drive even if you give it to me. Okay, let me go and see if there's anything else?"
Jiang Cheng walked around and discovered that this time Kou Kou had shipped a total of eight I-153s, thirty MiG-3 fighter jets, as well as supporting ammunition, parts, etc.
Jiang Cheng licked his lips and began to put up the containers one by one like building blocks, preparing to pull them away.
——Time and Space of the Republic of China Wuhu
Rows of Japanese soldiers sat on the ground in silence. At dusk, several warships were docked by the Yangtze River, their muzzles raised high, like extremely proud warriors.
Bo Tianzhong nodded and looked at his troops in front of him. This unit was the Bo Tian Detachment of the Japanese Army. It was the Taiwanese Army originally stationed in Taiwan. It was transferred to China after the Songhu Battle.
Shigeta waved his hand and said, "Gentlemen, we are the first army of the empire to march towards Wuhan. This is the trust His Majesty the Emperor has placed in us. I hope you will march forward bravely, without fear of life or death. See you at Kudanzaka!!"
There was only a sound of "Wow", and the Namada detachment of more than 10,000 people stood up collectively and shouted "See you at Kudanzaka!!"
Rows of soldiers began to board the ship, and dozens of warships and transport ships began to set sail one after another, heading upstream.
The Japanese army thought that they could remain unnoticed by the cover of night, but they could not escape the eyes of the fishermen who had been making a living on the Yangtze River for generations. The fishermen saw dozens of warships and transport ships sneaking northward, and hurriedly ran to notify Anqing upstream.
.
Anqing's defenders were Yang Sen's troops of the Sichuan Army, with two divisions totaling more than 10,000 people. After Yang Sen received the news, he immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle. At the same time, the river defense troops along the river began to counterattack.
But when the defenders began to enter their posts, the sky was gradually getting brighter. Although the river soldiers desperately tried to stop the Japanese advance, there were only a few horse-drawn cannons, which were no match for the Japanese fleet. They were blocked by the Japanese warships.
A few shots and it was shattered into pieces.
When the Anqing defenders saw dozens of fighter planes in the sky and Japanese warships lined up on the river, the battle had already begun. Countless artillery shells and bombs fell on the Anqing defenders' positions. The Botian detachment methodically attacked Anqing.
Landing began outside the city and attacked Anqing from the land route.
Most of Anqing's defenders had never seen it before in Sichuan. They had never seen such a formation. Although they relied on the tenacity of the Sichuan people to persevere, Yang Sen understood that it was already a matter of time before Anqing fell.
——Wuhan
Bai Chongxi hurriedly walked into the office. Agent Jiang had just sat down when he saw Bai Chongxi and asked, "De Lin? What's going on?"
Bai Chongxi handed the telegram to Jiang's agent and said, "The Japanese army has begun to attack."
Jiang Jie was shocked when he heard this. He quickly took the telegram and read it. It read, "The enemy will move south from Hefei with most of its troops and join forces with the enemy on the west of the Yangtze River to attack Anqing. Our army is in danger. The current strength of the Ministry of Commerce is
If there is not enough to allocate, I plan to ask Jun Zuo to allocate two divisions of troops for use."
Jiang Jie immediately said, "Quick, immediately order Chen Wanren's 21st Army to go to Anqing to support."
Before he finished speaking, He Yingqin also walked in, nodded to Bai Chongxi, handed a telegram to Jiang Jie and said, "The Japanese Sixth Division has been dispatched. The target is Shucheng. Xu Yuanquan's 26th Group Army is blocking the Japanese attack."
The force was so great that the 26th Group Army was retreating steadily."
Jiang Jie immediately said, "The 26th Group Army is the Shandong Army and its combat effectiveness is not strong. Let them retreat to Shucheng while fighting and defend the city."
——Shu Chengwai
Xu Yuanquan was not directing the battle at this time, but was directing his thin convoy to retreat.
"Commander, there is a call from Wuhan. Let us evacuate Shucheng while fighting." A guard came in hurriedly and called.
Xu Yuanquan looked at the telegram and cursed in a group, "Damn, Shucheng, is Shucheng so easy to stay in? That's a dead city. Nephew, you immediately take your aunts and several others to Wuhan and Chongqing."
, be smart and let me go to the front line to take a look."
The guard nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, please be careful."
Xu Yuanquan mounted his horse and was about to go to the front line. A fat-bellied businessman came over and said, "Commander Xu, fortunately you have not insulted your order. Fortunately you have not insulted your order."
When Xu Yuanquan saw the businessman, he burst into laughter and asked, "Old Man Fan, is there anyone willing to buy my boat?"
The businessman nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I have found a way to buy your boat. Commander Xu, your boat is not easy to sell now. At this price, you have to be prepared."
Xu Yuanquan said with a look of reluctance, "Damn it, these freighters of mine are the assets I have accumulated over the years. All the ones I can send upstream have gone upstream, but the biggest ones cannot go upstream.
Damn, what a bad luck, okay, okay, let’s go meet that businessman.”
At this time, a plane flew over the heads of Xu Yuanquan and others. Old Man Fan was so frightened that he lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Commander Xu, how about you go to fight first? We will talk about this business after the fight is over."
Xu Yuanquan quickly grabbed Old Fan and said, "No, no, no, let me tell you, after this battle is over, I don't even know where I am. Business is important, business is important!!"
While Xu Yuanquan was busy selling his belongings, Major General Tokutaro Sakai, commander of the 11th vanguard brigade of the Japanese army, had not rested for a day and a night. He looked at the battle line in front of him and lowered his head to think.
At this time, a guard came in and said, "Report, special high-tech telegram."
Tokutaro Sakai quickly turned around to take it and took a look. He immediately danced excitedly and shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor bless you, His Majesty the Emperor bless you."
The chief of staff next to him quickly asked, "Your Majesty, Brigade Commander, what's going on?"
Tokutaro Sakai said loudly, "The commander of the 26th Group Army opposite, Xu Yuanquan, actually left the army in order to sell off his property. He immediately ordered the coordinated troops to shout that Xu Yuanquan had escaped. I can guarantee that the collapse of the 26th Group Army is imminent."
"
After several hours of verbal wrangling, Xu Yuanquan finally got the price he hoped for. Xu Yuanquan came to the front line with satisfaction, but found that his troops had begun to retreat.
Xu Yuanquan quickly grabbed a broken soldier and shouted, "Damn it, who told you to withdraw?"
The defeated soldier pulled away and said, "The commander is gone. The Japanese are really fierce. They have more artillery shells than we have. Sir, you should retreat quickly."
Xu Yuanquan slapped him and cursed, "I am your commander!!" The defeated soldiers were stunned and didn't know what to say.
Xu Yuanquan looked at the defeated troops who were already running like monkeys all over the mountains and plains, stamped his feet and said, "Damn it, let's go, all follow me, go to Shucheng to gather."
The prelude to the Battle of Wuhan ended quickly. Anqing held on for one day and fell, and Shucheng held on for three days and also fell.
——Wuhan
"Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi, hurry up and get that Xu Yuanquan back for me. I will shoot him myself! He actually dared to leave his post without permission during the war. I think his head can also leave without permission.
You've done your duty." Jiang Jie angrily slapped the table and cursed, with blue veins on his forehead pounding.
"Commissioner, I can't do it, I can't do it." Chen Cheng waved his hands and shouted. Seeing Agent Jiang looking at him angrily, Chen Cheng quickly said, "Commissioner, this Xu Yuanquan is a local warlord. If we kill him now,
Those local warlords might think that we are going to use the Japanese to purge them. If someone surrenders to Japan at this time..."
Upon hearing this, Agent Jiang suddenly threw a teapot next to him to the ground. Fortunately, the guards had replaced everything that Agent Jiang could easily get with unbreakable ones. The teapot was made of stainless steel, and there was only a clanging sound.
With this sound, no one dared to speak anymore.
Agent Jiang breathed for a while and said, "He can be exempted from death, but he cannot escape from living crime. He should be relieved of all his duties immediately and escorted to Xi'an. I don't want to see him, so lock him up!!"
Seeing that Agent Jiang no longer wanted to kill people, and Chen Cheng and others stopped talking, Agent Jiang added, "There is another Yang Sen who abandoned a famous city, Tengxiao Friendship State, and abandoned Anqing in just one day. He is simply a waste among wastes.
"
Before Jiang Jie finished speaking, Chen Cheng added, "After all, Yang Sen has resisted with all his strength. You can't be too strict. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain below."
Jiang Zhongzhong was so angry that he threw another tea cup and shouted, "Give me Yang Sen, be more strict with your words, scold me severely, you are a bunch of people without personality."
No matter how angry Chiang Kai-shek was, Anqing and Shucheng had been lost. A large number of Japanese troops began to station in Anqing, and countless aircraft gathered in Anqing, preparing to support the battle nearby.
But the Japanese army was not relaxed, and the Sixth Division was already in a state of mourning.
Tokutaro Sakai looked at the soldiers lying outside the ward and said anxiously, "What on earth is going on? How many people are there already?"
The staff officer next to him immediately said, "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, there are already more than 2,000 people, more than our battle losses. The doctor said it is malaria, which is spread by mosquitoes and is difficult to cure."
Tokutaro Sakai shouted urgently, "Medicine, where is our medicine?"
The staff officer shook his head and said, "We never thought it would be so serious. There is a serious shortage of medicines. Most of the logistics are food and ammunition. There are almost no medicines. The medicines are also for injuries, and there are not many medicines for malaria."
Tokutaro Sakai looked at another plane dropping supplies and shouted, "Hurry up and send electricity to the division commander. We need medicines. We don't need any food or ammunition. If we don't have medicines, our 11th Brigade will need them without fighting."
The whole army was wiped out!! By the way, the Chinese people, why are the Chinese people okay? Where is their medicine?"
The staff officer scratched his head and said, "The Chinese people have lived here for a long time and are used to it, and their troops have relatively sufficient medicines. After all, penicillin is produced by a Chinese company."
Tokutaro Sakai scratched his hair angrily and said, "Order the troops to stop, isolate the sick, and wait for medical support."

Wang Sheng looked at the sneering *** and couldn't help but ask, "Jianfeng? What's wrong with you? Is there anything funny?"
****** shook the telegram and said, "First Huang Jie, then Xu Yuanquan, even the generals who lost cities and territory and fled without a fight dared not deal with them. How can the Chairman of the General Assembly take action against other ills of the party and state?"
Wang Sheng was older and said, "Jianfeng, chairman of the committee also has his own difficulties, we should be considerate."
****** slammed the table and shouted, "One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Who can show consideration for the common people and soldiers?"
Zhang Yaruo, who was next to him, quickly stepped forward and touched ******'s back to calm her down.
****** asked "Okay, how's it going with what I asked you to do?"
Wang Sheng said quickly, "We have recruited 162 young people from various universities. These people have knowledge, ideas, and hard work. They are very suitable for us."
****** nodded and said, "Okay, let's make arrangements. I want to start from Gan County and build a new Gan County. In addition, we must have our own financial resources. You can think of a way to set up a company, and,
Last time, the two men asked them to return to the army, but we have to send money to their families frequently, so we cannot be completely without our own people."
Wang Sheng felt himself getting more and more excited, nodded quickly and left.
****** looked towards the west, "Father, wait, let me help you make up your mind."
