Chapter 110: End of the Dead End
Find out clearly, who wrote this? "Cheng Kai-shek knocked the newspaper on the table with his hand and seriously hurt the feelings of the allies and undermined the unification of the anti-Japanese war, how bad the country will have to affect the country. If it was written by a foreigner, it was understandable. If it was written by a Chinese, what was his intention? Gui Yongqing and Guo Rugui of the military delegation to the UK just brought exciting news, and the British political circles took the initiative to form a long-term alliance with our country. But now there are remarks that slander the allies, which has caused a lot of public opinion. How should you explain this to the allies?"
It turned out that the British believed that Churchill led the British government during the war and made an indelible contribution to defending the interests of the British Empire, but that was his responsibility and obligation as a British man. In order to avoid Churchill from turning from a citizen into a "god emperor" due to his outstanding military achievements, he slipped to the evil path of a dictator. While fully supporting him in fighting the fascist aggression, he had already brewed a force in the domestic political circle. Once the war was won, he was asked to step down and another politician was selected to form a cabinet to ensure the continuity of their democratic system.
The British Labor Party, which had the most hope of ruling at that time, had clearly realized that after the war, the pattern of the United States and the Soviet Union dominate the world, and Britain's original hegemony would continue to be reduced. In order to compete with it, British Labor politicians secretly had a secret talk with Gui Yongqing, the head of the Chinese military delegation to the United Kingdom, promising that if the party wins the election, it is willing to return Hong Kong to China Churchill, always opposing this matter in exchange. China did not attach to the United States after the war, nor did it get close to the Soviet Union, but formed a close alliance with Britain. Britain and China formed a third force between the United States and the Soviet Union after the war.
Gui Yongqing received this promise from the British Labor Party. He believed that as long as Hong Kong could return, it would naturally be a happy event. He hurriedly returned to China and reported to Chiang Kai-shek with irresistible excitement.
After hearing Gui Yongqing's report from the UK, Chiang Kai-shek was thinking about how to respond, but his excitement was hard to suppress. The British extended their olive branches, which shows that China's international status is improving. As the leader of the country, there is also a gleam on his face.
"Don't worry, Chairman, I'll go check right away." Dai Li said respectfully.
At this time, a servant knocked in with a telegram in his hand and bowed and placed it on Chiang Kai-shek's table.
Chiang Kai-shek took it over and looked around. Suddenly, his face became extremely ugly, and even his hands were trembling.
Dai Li's heart was upset. Could it be that the allies so quickly came to blame and question, the remarks in the newspapers are really so powerful, and haven't Western countries always advocated freedom of speech?
This secret telegram was sent by Chinese Ambassador to the United States Wei Daoming. The contents inside suddenly shocked Chiang Kai-shek.
The secret telegram said: The summit of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union held a few days ago in Yalta, the Soviet Union's Crimean Peninsula, and the external communiqué was specifically for discussing the issue of the European battlefield. But in fact, negotiations were also held on the Asian war against Japan. A secret treaty that was extremely unfavorable to China was signed. In exchange for the Soviet Union to send troops to fight against Japan, the United States compromised and surrendered under Stalin's tough attitude, and agreed to some conditions: 1. Recognizing Outer Mongolia's independence; 2. Dalian opened as the League of Nations and had preferential rights; 3. The Soviet Union leased Lushun as a naval base; 4. The Middle East was managed by China and the Soviet Union.
It took Chiang Kai-shek to put down the secret electricity in his hand, with a gloomy face and no words, and the atmosphere in the interior became depressing and dull.
"Yunnong, you go down first!" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand gently. When Dai Li walked to the door, he added, "There is no need to investigate that matter."
Dai Li was stunned for a moment, immediately lowered his head and agreed, "Yes, Chairman." Then he turned around and walked out.
Chiang Kai-shek frowned, picked up Ambassador Wei's secret telegram and read it carefully. After thinking hard for a long time, a servant came in and ordered: "Call the President of the Executive Yuan and Foreign Minister Song Ziwen, and there is also Minister He Yingqin... By the way, there is also Mr. Chen."
"...China's independence and unity, the establishment of liberal democratic politics, and the efforts of friendly countries to seek the consent of Britain and Russia are a shame for our country; if the country is not independent, people are not self-reliant, and the universe is so great that it still has a place for our nation to survive? How can we not be afraid?..." In the evening, Chiang Kai-shek expressed such feelings in his diary.
…………………………………………………………
In the spring of 1945, the Japanese Chinese dispatched troops advanced westward and suffered a crushing defeat in Xuefeng Mountain, which made the Japanese Command feel that General Okamura Nishiji's plan to move westward was not a matter of rush to show himself, but a ignorant of reality.
Rate behavior.
The Japanese did not expect that in order to prove that the national army still had the strength to fight with the Japanese army and to save Yalta from the secret agreement to harm China, Chiang Kai-shek sent Song Ziwen to Britain and the United States to mediate, and at the same time ordered He Yingqin to mobilize the Expeditionary Force, including Sun Liren's New Army, to form a strong army in the mainland. With the cooperation of the mixed brigade of the US Air Force, a comprehensive counterattack was started from the southwest. He was determined to cut off the southern section of the Japanese mainland corridor in half and eat it in pieces.
Faced with the aggressive offensive of the National Army, the US Joint Air Force bombardment, the Japanese Army Department proposed a plan to shrink and concentrate mainland troops: that is, to withdraw the Japanese troops from Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces south of the Yangtze River. That is, to withdraw 150 brigades of ground troops and an air force, and sweep the southern section of the mainland corridor that took half a year to complete.
The Japanese army's voluntary retreat and the fierce attack of the national army led to frequent reports of anti-Japanese war in mainland China in the spring of 1945. The four-faced army stationed in Baise area launched a general counterattack against the enemy in Nanning. After a fierce battle, they captured Nanning City. Tang Enbo's main force of the 3rd Army led the troops south from the southern foot of the Xuefeng Mountains, and together with Zhang Fakui's 2nd Army, quickly surrounded the enemy in Liuzhou. After several days of fierce fighting, they captured the city. The 2nd and 3rd Army took advantage of the victory to head north and surrounded Guilin. The enemy in Guilin barely resisted for a while, then fled and retreated into the Hengyang area. At this point, the Chinese army recovered the entire territory of Guangxi. Then, the Kuomintang army began to counterattack Guangdong.
When they come out to make trouble, they always have to pay it back. Once upon a time, Japanese planes were rampant on the land of China and owed countless blood debts. Now the Japanese have also tasted the taste of bombs and incendiary bombs.
China, the large-scale counterattack of the US Air Force began in 19446. In the year, the scale of the air force's counterattack became even more unprecedented. The bomber group that took off from the Southwest Aviation Base in mainland China and the bomber group that took off from the Marshall Islands, the Philippines and other places in the Pacific, constituted an air assault on Japan.
Entering the spring of 1945, aircraft painted with "red sun" are rarely seen in the middle of the Yangtze River, downstream/over the entire southwest rear base. On the contrary, fighter jets and bombers painted with US military star emblems and Chinese Air Force star emblems often soar in large groups in the vast blue sky, carrying out devastating bombing of the Japanese army.
1945 at midnight. The weather was clear and the north wind was strong. Under the strong wind, the radar on Japanese territory could not work properly.
At midnight at 0:8:00, 330 B29 bombers flew over Tokyo at an ultra-low altitude and immediately carried out carpet bombing. After a large number of incendiary bombs exploded, fires all over the city soared into the sky.
The Japanese believed in Shinto, but that night, the gods they had devoted to for thousands of years seemed to have changed. Twelve strong winds, like being driven by God, blew up the fire ignited by the incendiary bombs, suddenly blew up into the sky. The wind helped the fire, and the fire leveraged the wind to echo each other. The fire in the whole city suddenly spread, and thick smoke enveloped the entire city.
The traces of the B29 bomber were hidden by the thick smoke, and appeared and disappeared, making it difficult to find and capture. The group of aircraft was bombed for two hours and thirty-two minutes before leaving leisurely.
The fire in Tokyo burned half of the sky red. The fire burned until eight o'clock the next day, and "competed" with the rising sun for a while before it was gradually extinguished.
During this bombing, more than 300,000 households were burned down in Tokyo alone; except for the bombing, 83,070 residents were killed; 113,602 people were seriously injured; and 1.2 million people were affected.
At the late 413 night and late 15 night, the B29 aircraft group carried out major air strikes on Tokyo one after another. The palace was bombed and the flames soared into the sky. Emperor Meiji's temple turned into ashes. The royal residences were either bombed or burned. The palace ministers also became homeless. While bombing Tokyo, none of the major cities in Japan were spared, and many places were turned into ruins. Most of the production facilities were destroyed, and the combat power and national strength could not be restored at all.
It’s not that I don’t pay back, but the time has not come. This is an old Chinese saying.
The Japanese never expected that the retribution that fell on their heads would be so fierce and so happy. Taking Chongqing and Tokyo as examples, every time a Japanese plane dropped a bomb at Chongqing, the retaliation bombing that Tokyo was later subjected to was twenty-three bombs.
