Needless to say,
Suddenly, this prodigal told them about the war in all seriousness.
They were all dumbfounded!
"Since Young Marshal Yan is so righteous, shall we let the troops set up defenses in your territory?”
Cai Tingkai said anxiously. Seeing that the Japanese were already on the bowstring, it was already the time to launch!
There was not much time left for them to prepare!
"Why do the two generals think I, Yan Zhikuan, bought these lands?”
Yan Zhikuan asked with a smile.
Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai were stunned for a moment. Their eyes widened as they exclaimed,"Could it be that you've already started preparing?”
"After the September 18th Incident, the ambitions of the Japanese were already known by everyone. The three eastern provinces surrendered without a fight and let the Japanese taste the sweetness. Do you think their ambitions will not swell?”
Yan Zhikuan paused for a moment before continuing," After the puppet Manchukuo was established, Shanghai was the first to bear the brunt of China's heavy industry. Do you think that this war won't break out?”
Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai pondered for a moment.
She felt that Yan Zhikuan's words made a lot of sense!
"I've already ordered people to transport the supplies over by air. I've also sent people to the rear to organize rations and military supplies.”
Yan Zhikuan paused and said to the two of them seriously,"Generals, the fate of China lies in this battle! We can't lose Shanghai. Once Shanghai falls, the Japanese will be even more arrogant and invade China! Even if it's for the sake of China's peace for the next five years, the two of you must fight!”
Although in history,
The 19th Army fought to the death and shattered the Japanese army's fantasy. It also exchanged for five precious years of development for China!
But…
Yan Zhikuan had to repeat himself!
If we don't shatter the Japanese's fantasy,
The Japanese might invade China in advance!
At this time, the national army only had a few hundred thousand soldiers. The national treasury was empty, and there was no air force or navy!
How?
As for Yan Zhikuan?
His Shanxi region had just begun to develop at full speed.
The Munitions Factory had just resumed construction!
The air force he wanted to build had not been built yet!
He wanted to build a navy at the mouth of the sea, Shanghai!
This required time!
So,
He had to resist this battle!
In this way,
Only then could his plan of expanding the three armed forces be realized!
Hearing Yan Zhikuan's words,
Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai seemed to have met a confidant. They excitedly held Yan Zhikuan's hand and said,""Young Marshal is so righteous. It's really a blessing for China!”
"Generals, hurry up and set up your defenses! I've already flown over a portion of the supply team and have also asked people to purchase and raise military supplies locally. I'll do my best to send them over to your troops!”
Yan Zhikuan paused for a moment and said in a deep voice,"Since Principal Jiang is unwilling to help, then I, Yan Zhikuan, will help you defeat the Japanese!"”
"Major!"
What Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai were most afraid of was the problem of logistical supplies!
If supplies can't keep up,
In the end, they could only fight like trapped beasts!
But now, with Yan Zhikuan's words,
The support of the biggest prodigal in China.
They felt inexplicably relieved?!
It seemed that…
This time…
They felt that it was their great fortune to have such a prodigal who did not care about money and understood reason!
"Don't worry, Major. Our 19th Army will defend Shanghai to the death!”
Cai Tingkai saluted and said loudly.
Logically speaking,
Yan Zhikuan had four armies under his command, and he was the commander-in-chief of the army group. His official position was higher than theirs, so this salute was not too much!
25th.
Both sides began to take guns and ammunition, pull barbed wire, set up roadblocks, and pile up sandbags!
The two sides 'initial focus was Zhabei Train Station and Bazi Bridge!
28th.
The Japanese Navy had 23 warships, 1 aircraft carrier, 20 planes, 4000 marines, 3000 reserves, and 14 warships stationed in the Yangtze River.
At six o'clock in the evening,
The Japanese made an even more powerless request.
They demanded that China give up military sovereignty over the Zhabei region!
Withdraw the garrison troops and hand over all military facilities!
Of course, Wu Tiecheng didn't even notice this request.
The 128 War of Resistance broke out!
The commander of the Japanese Navy in Shanghai, Yoshizawa Koichi, issued an arrogant call,""Occupy Shanghai in four hours!"
The planes bombarded.
The warship sailed into the Yangtze River basin.
The cannons bombarded the area near the coast!
Cai Tingkai and Jiang Guangnai issued a notice.
He expressed that he wanted to live and die with Shanghai!
When all the people in Shanghai learned of this announcement,
They were moved to tears.
Just as everyone volunteered to donate money and materials,
Suddenly, someone exclaimed," Look! The signature! Why is there that prodigal in the signature?!”
"That's impossible. Are your eyes playing tricks on you?”
Many people did not believe it.
In their imaginations,
That prodigal should have already fled Shanghai!
"No, no, look at the contents of the announcement carefully!”
"The violent sun occupied our three eastern provinces, and the territory changed color…"
The beginning and end of this announcement were the same as the announcements in his previous life, except that the middle lines had changed!
“... They openly invaded my defense line and provoked me. Guang Nai and the others are soldiers. Under the call of Yan Shao Shuai, they only know how to defend themselves…"
"There really is that prodigal!"
"Yan Shao Shuai's summons? Could it be that the 19th Route Army was already under the command of that prodigal?”
Someone exclaimed. If that was really the case, they would have to look at Yan Zhikuan in a new light!
"From the looks of it, is that prodigal calling for the soldiers to fight bravely? No way! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
The Shanghai residents felt their world spin!
This is the same as the years,
They weren't surprised by anything that happened!
But he was an unambitious prodigal.
They actually fought?
Most importantly,
Jiang Guangnai's announcement had the intention of following Yan Zhikuan!
Seeing this notice,
Yan Zhikuan, who was in the French concession, couldn't help but smile!
"Looks like there's a chance to recruit the 19th route army!”
Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai were soldiers and would not play any tricks. Otherwise, they would not have disobeyed orders to resist the Japanese in his previous life!
Since these two people had the intention of surrendering,
There was no reason not to accept it!
This was an army!
At the same time,
He Yingqin also handed the telegram from Jiang Guangnai and the others to Principal Jiang!
Principal Jiang took a look.
His expression immediately turned ugly.
"Hmph, a bunch of bastards! Wasn't this a mistake for the country? If we start fighting now, what if the Japanese invade us?”
Principal Jiang was very dissatisfied and scolded angrily.
He Yingqin also pretended to be wronged." That's what I told Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai. They didn't listen. I asked them to change their defense, but they didn't!" Yan Zhikuan also joined in!”
"Hmph, what can a mere prodigal do? It was nothing more than being used as a scapegoat!”
In Principal Jiang's eyes, Jiang Guangnai was playing a game of disobedience under Yan Zhikuan's banner!
The conspiracy theorist, Principal Jiang, who was immersed in the factional struggle, had neglected one point. Why would a general who disregarded his future and dared to resist the Japanese need to use the banner of others?
They truly admired Yan Zhikuan and wanted to submit to him!
