Some important officials also strongly advocated digging the dike. He Chengjun, the head of Hubei Province at that time, sent a message on May 26 saying: Now that the Yellow River has reached the peach flood season, if the construction crevasse, the Yellow River will flow straight to Xuzhou along the old road. If it does not flood too much, the enemy's mechanized troops will lose their effectiveness, or it will be enough to destroy their combat effectiveness, so that their attempt to open up the Jinpu River will still be in vain. It is hoped that we can get rid of it as soon as possible.
Liu Zhongyuan, commander of the Western Henan Division, sent a secret message to Jiang on June 3: Xuzhou fell, and the enemy's main force went deep into the southeast of Henan and the west of the mountain. If we don't burn our boats, Zhongzhou will not be defended. Li Sheng and others intend to dig the Yellow River water, land sinking the enemy's main force. He knew that the sacrifice was heavy, but for the sake of saving the country, why would he bear the pain…
On the night of May 31, Jiang Jieshi, who was suffering from depression and anger, made a very important decision. This decision was not easy for Jiang Jieshi, which was to "replace soldiers with water" and dig dikes to block the enemy.
At the end of May, the so-called "furnace" in the city of Han was already sweating profusely and stuffy. In the mansion, Jiang Jieshi felt that the orange silk coat he usually liked to wear was not so comfortable today. His whole body was very hot, and even his bald head was covered with fine sweat. I can't afford to lose the city again. Since the war between China and Japan last year, half of China had fallen into the hands of others in less than a year. He had no choice but to retreat again and again. Now, the only city he could stay in was this corner of the city. If he lost the city again, he would have to retreat into the mountains of Sichuan. He was not willing to accept this, and he was even more unconvinced. Thinking about the bustling Jin Ling City last year, his heart tightened, and two drops of crystal tears flowed out of the corner of his eyes. He had never felt so down before. From overthrowing the Qing court to building the great cause of today, although he had suffered many setbacks and had to flee to Japan alone several times, his emotions at that time seemed to be higher than today. At that time, in his heart, the Qing court had already become a dead tree, and there was no way to reverse it. Overthrowing it was only a matter of time. At that time, he seemed to have seen the light. Even though he fell down sometimes, he was very confident. But today, as the leader of a country and the chairman of a million troops, he was thinking about problems and looking at things with a sense of loss. He was not as free and easy as before. He did not want China to fall into the hands of the National Party, and he was even more unwilling to let China fall into the hands of Jiang Jieshi. Sometimes, he even wondered if the all-out war against Japan was a bit hasty. The door was gently pushed open, and Song Meiling walked in leisurely. Her words pulled Jiang Jieshi, who was deep in thought, back to reality."Darling, you're so lost in thought..." Jiang looked up at the graceful lady in front of him. For a moment, he was sad and actually grabbed his delicate hand to rub it, and his thoughts flew to the other end. "Darling, even if I retreat to Wuhan1, I still can't celebrate your birthday well."”Song Meiling smiled sweetly and said,""You forgot that we believers don't care about these things.”When Jiang took it, he smacked his mouth full of dentures and said,"Yes, yes." He was speechless for a moment. He stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back. Madam Jiang saw that Jiang Jieshi was speechless for a long time, so she asked,"Darling, are you still worried about the war at the front line?”Jiang Yan didn't answer the question. He stared into the distance and said slowly,"The Japanese don't want to let me go. There are many people in our party who are on the same page as the Japanese. I'm actually unaware of it, so it's inevitable that I'm confused!”After saying that, he walked back to the sofa and sat down. Song Meiling knew what he was referring to. She smiled and said,"Darling, have you forgotten the story Huanzhang (referring to Feng Yuxiang) told you a few days ago?”Jiang turned his head thoughtfully and didn't say anything. He just tilted his ears and listened. "I think Huanzhang makes sense. During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Zijing advised Sun Quan to make peace with the world, but the Lord could not. If everyone surrendered to Cao Cao, they could still be called marquises as ministers, but if Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Cao, he could only follow him lightly and live below others forever without any chance to stand out. Today's situation was like turning back history. The Japanese could tolerate everyone around you, even Wang Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei was the vice president of the National Party), but they could not tolerate you. Wasn't the statement of the Guards at the beginning of the year clear? So you can't hesitate on this issue anymore.”
