; Fushan Town is to the north of the Wufu Line of National Defense Fortifications.
In the 21st year of the Republic of China, after the Shanghai Anti-Japanese War ended under Western mediation on 128, the far-sighted people of the Nationalist Government, such as Jiang Baili and others, foresaw that there would be a war between China and Japan in the future, so they strongly advocated a war between Shanghai and Japan.
Two strong defense fortification belts were built between Nanjing to serve as the main battlefield in the future Sino-Japanese war.
It must be admitted that Jiang Baili has a very strategic vision.
The final facts also proved that Jiang Baili's judgment was correct, and Songhu indeed became the main direction of attack for the Japanese army!
However, it is very regrettable that the two defense lines that the Nationalist Government invited German military experts to design and spent a lot of money to build did not play any role.
The reason is also very sad. Chairman Chiang listened to half of Jiang Baili's suggestions and built a defense line, but did not listen to the other half of Jiang Baili's suggestions. In the end, he chose the main battlefield in the open and flat suburbs of Shanghai, resulting in nearly 60 of the most elite soldiers at the time.
The main force of the Central Army, including 24 divisions and 35 adjustment divisions, were all beaten to pieces by the Japanese navy's large-caliber naval guns.
History is so confusing sometimes.
As a descendant, I can't understand why Chairman Chiang wanted to fight the Japanese army in the suburbs of Shanghai, because Shanghai was completely within the attack range of the Japanese navy. At that time, Japan's most powerful force was not its army but its navy. At that time, the Japanese navy was the most powerful in the world.
It ranks third in terms of tonnage, and its overall combat effectiveness exceeds that of the U.S. Navy.
The tonnage of the Chinese Navy is not even a fraction of that of the Japanese Navy!
However, Chairman Chiang resolutely sent fifty-nine German gunsmiths to the suburbs of Shanghai, braving the bombardment of the Japanese navy's large-caliber naval guns and the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese naval aviation, in the open and flat Shanghai.
A bloody battle began with the Japanese Army on the outskirts of the city, and everyone already knew the final result.
In less than two months, all fifty-nine quasi-virtual mechanics were polished off!
Three months later, all the local troops transferred from the rear were disabled!
At this time, Chairman Chiang finally woke up from his dream of "rejecting the enemy outside Songhu" and hastily ordered a retreat. However, even then, there were still three defeated generals who had retreated from the Songhu battlefield.
With a huge number of 400,000, as long as the organization is good, we can still rely on the two solid defense lines of Wu Fu and Xicheng to resist the war for a long time.
Unfortunately, just when Chairman Chiang ordered the retreat, a fatal episode occurred.
Originally, the retreat order had been issued on November 9th, and all the participating departments had made preparations to retreat. However, there was another failure. But on November 10th, Chairman Chiang suddenly learned that the retreat would take place later.
The League of Nations was going to hold a conference in a few days, so they had an idea and asked the National Army to hold on to the western suburbs of Shanghai for a few more days.dudu1;
Chairman Chiang's idea was that as long as the Nationalist Army persisted until the League of Nations Conference was convened, the Japanese government would be forced by the political pressure of the Western powers to choose armistice negotiations.
From this point alone, it can be seen that Chairman Chiang will never become a great statesman, but can only be a politician!
This is because only politicians will place their hopes on the interference of other countries, and politicians will always believe in themselves. That’s why Bismarck said that the truth is only within the range of a cannon. That’s why Churchill said that there is only eternity between countries.
interests, but no eternal friendship, so we say, be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing!
In the game between big countries, small countries try to gain interests in the cracks, and the result can only be broken into pieces.
At that time, although China had a vast territory and a large population, it was a truly small country in terms of national strength!
Two days later, the League of Nations conference was held. Chairman Chiang did not wait for the result he wanted. Instead, he waited for the massive landing of Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army at Jinshanwei. Now the ball was dead and the opportunity to retreat was completely lost.
Hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers trampled across the grassland like frightened cattle and fled towards Nanjing.
The remaining soldiers did not even stop when they crossed the two defense lines of Wu Fu and Xicheng!
It was really disappointing that the two defense lines, which were designed and drawn by ethics experts and constructed by Songhu garrison commander General Zhang Zhizhong, were personally presided over by the construction.
(Dividing line)
At noon, the American freighter Atlanta had already arrived on the river outside Fushan Town, and then pretended to have a boiler room failure and anchored on the riverside. Passing ships waved flags one after another, asking if the Atlanta needed help? Even
A destroyer of the Japanese Navy also offered to help, but was declined by the Atlanta.
After nightfall, it gradually darkened on the river, and the captain of Atlanta called first mate Jones to him.
"Hey buddy," the captain asked Jones, holding his pipe in his mouth, "I heard that you just found a White Russian woman with a noble background. I guess the expense must be quite high, right?"
"It's a bit." Jones chuckled, but the long legs of the White Russian woman and the snow-white whiteness of the millstone appeared in his mind, and his crotch felt hot. I have to say that women of noble background are different.
The foreign style and sentiment are really not comparable to those big girls in the United States. The only drawback is that they are too good at spending money.
The captain took off his pipe and said with a low smile: "I have a job here that can make a lot of money. Do you want to take it?" dudu2;
"Captain, isn't this bad?" Jones immediately looked wary. He thought the captain was asking him to do private work. It was impossible to do private work without telling the shipping company. If the company found out, he would not only be fired, but also
Jones didn't want to lose this well-paying job if he was going to be sued, so he decided not to do it.
The captain chuckled and said: "Don't worry, this is a job hired by the company, not a private job, but it has certain dangers. We need a warrior to lead the team. Are you willing?"
"Dangerous?" Jones asked. "How dangerous?"
The captain said: "Take two rubber boats and go to the river to pick up a batch of goods."
Jones said: "I thought it was something other than just picking up a batch of goods, which was no problem."
The captain said: "I have to make it clear to you that this is a batch of smuggled goods. If it is intercepted by the Japanese navy, don't expect the company to bail you out. You will be responsible for all the consequences."
"That's no problem." Jones asked simply, "How much is the reward?"
The captain took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "You are the leader, and you will be paid two hundred dollars. You are responsible for finding the remaining crew members. There are four people in total, and each person will be paid fifty dollars. Of course, if you can persuade the crew to accept a lower salary,
, the remaining price difference is also yours, and when you finish the work, the employer will pay you."
"Good." Jones said excitedly, "I've decided to take this job."
Jones went in a hurry and quickly found four oar crew members and negotiated a remuneration of ten dollars each. This guy was really shady. He directly deducted the crew members' remuneration from fifty dollars each.
He paid ten dollars, and the remaining forty dollars fell into his pocket.
But Jones didn't know that the captain was actually darker.
Because Xu Rui’s remuneration to the captain through Stilwell was a total of one thousand U.S. dollars. After deducting the remuneration of first mate Jones and the four oar crew members, the captain got six hundred U.S. dollars in vain without even doing anything! But under the temptation of the big money
Next, Jones, the first mate of the Atlanta, and four American crew members were very motivated. After putting down the rubber boat, they rowed towards the river in the dark.
After arriving at the agreed place, Jones followed the captain's instructions and turned on the flashlight, flashing it three times. A moment later, a faint light lit up in the darkness ahead and flashed it three times.
"Over there!" Jones immediately took the rubber boat to meet him.dudu3;
After a while, the rubber boat entered a reed swamp, squeezed through the dense reeds and walked forward for about twenty meters before hitting the land and stranding. Then, footsteps sounded in the darkness ahead, and then almost
The figure walked over quickly. The faces of those people could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but there was a suffocating pressure rushing towards them.
Jones immediately instinctively grabbed the revolver at his waist, and the four crew members also became nervous instantly.
Several figures quickly approached, and what surprised Jones and the four crew members was that the man walking in front actually spoke fluent American English: "Excuse me, is this Captain Wilkin?"
"Oh no, no, Captain Wilkin is not here." Jones quickly replied, "I am his first mate, Jones."
"Is this Mate Jones?" As he spoke, the figure came closer. He was a Chinese man of ordinary stature, but his eyes were very sharp. He added, "Captain Wilkin must have said what to do.
Bar?"
"Yes, let's get to work quickly." Jones said and jumped onto the sandbar. "Where is the cargo?"
The person who spoke English just now was naturally Leng Tiefeng. Leng Tiefeng shined a flashlight behind him and said, "Look."
Jones and the four crew members saw the two hundred and forty large wooden crates piled on the sandbar, and took a breath of air-conditioning. Oh, McGold, so many? It seems that we will be busy tonight.
But when Jones and the others lifted the first wooden crate, they breathed a sigh of relief again.
Because these wooden crates are not as heavy as expected, each box weighs about one hundred kilograms. One rubber boat can hold five boxes, and two kayaks can hold ten boxes. In this case, twenty-four trips
That's it. In terms of time, one round trip takes about a quarter of an hour, and twenty-four times is six hours.
I'll have to work until about two o'clock tomorrow morning.
Facts have proved that First Officer Jones's judgment was correct.
They continued to work until about two o'clock in the morning the next day before all 240 wooden crates were loaded onto the Atlanta freighter. When the last wooden crate was winched to the deck, Jones finally collapsed to the ground with exhaustion, and then
He turned to Leng Tiefeng and asked: "What are the contents of these wooden boxes?"
"It's munitions, artillery shells or something." Leng Tiefeng said, "Tell your people not to touch it randomly, otherwise we will not be responsible for blowing up your freighter."
"Oh God, don't worry, it won't happen."
