105 1937 Lushan Declaration

He rode his bicycle to wander aimlessly around Nanjing City for most of the day. Seeing the people in the city live a peaceful life in the streets and alleys, Zhou Zhihan suddenly felt his powerlessness. This powerlessness made him feel a sudden suffocating heartache.

After passing an elementary school, watching the children laughing with their backpacks on their backs, running back to their homes to find their mothers, Zhou Zhihan could only sit on the ground and smoke one by one.

Now, he no longer had the energy he had when he first came over. He felt that his heart was old, so old that he could not change anything.

He was unable to change the fate of the people in this city.

If he tells what will happen in a few months now, he will probably be imprisoned as a madman.

The evil words confuse the public.

Even if you are a top student who has returned from studying abroad.

Compared with the stability and tranquility of a city, he, a top student, is just a dust.

After having dinner, Zhou Zhihan talked about the current situation with his parents and two uncles.

Zhou Zhihan believes that with the current situation, it is not safe for the whole family to stay in Nanjing and should be moved elsewhere.

But Zhou Zhihan's father and two uncles didn't think so. They believed that Nanjing was the capital and was relatively safest to guard with heavy troops.

Moreover, the Zhou family has worked hard to build over the years in Nanjing. Although the business is not very big, everything has to be started again after moving to another place.

A year ago, when Zhou Zhihan became the favorite disciple of the president of Randolph Air Force Academy, the Nanjing Air Force Headquarters often visited the door, which made the Zhou family famous in the local area and the business went smoothly. In just less than a year, they made all the money that Zhou Zhihan had spent on studying abroad.

Especially in the few days after Zhou Zhihan came back, there were special cars picking up and dropping off every day at the Air Force headquarters, which made the Zhou family feel very respectful. I don’t know who released the news that the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou and Zhou Zhihan are family brothers, and Zhou Zhirou personally said in front of everyone that Zhou Zhihan was his little brother.

This is awesome.

Who dares to offend Zhou Zhirou, the younger brother of the Air Force Commander-in-Chief?

It's too late to curry favor with it.

You should know that Zhou Zhirou is the general commander-in-chief of the Chinese naval, land, air and air force, and is deeply appreciated by the old man.

Faced with his father and uncle's disapproval, Zhou Zhihan could only carry Zhou Zhirou out again. He told his father and uncle that it was Zhou Zhirou who revealed to him that the Zhou family and his family would move elsewhere, because in a month, the War of Resistance Against Japan would be extremely likely to break out across the country. As a thorn in the Japanese's side, Nanjing will inevitably be bombarded day and night by planes, staying in Nanjing, which is very dangerous.

Hearing that this was the news revealed by the Air Force Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Zhou believed it, and he could see that the Air Force Headquarters valued his son.

Since the Air Force commander said this, if you don’t leave, you may really not be able to leave one day.

So, the Zhou family began to handle the family's migration south. As for where to move, they had to go to inspect it before they could decide. After all, this was related to the livelihoods of dozens of people in the Zhou family. Where they moved, there was at least business to do.

Zhou Zhihan caught Fujii in the United States and asked about the whereabouts of gold. This time he returned to China and exchanged gold into US dollars and brought it back, which was just a big use.

Zhou Zhihan told his family that although there will be losses in moving south, compared with money, safety is more important, and money can still be made if it is lost.

Zhou Zhihan told his father and uncle that the matter could only be handled secretly. If the news is leaked, he would be a serious crime of leaking state military secrets.

The crime of leaking national military secrets should be executed!

It’s not that Zhou Zhihan doesn’t want to save more lives, but that no one believes what he said at this time. Instead, he will be convicted of disturbing people’s hearts and causing big trouble.

Even Zhou Zhirou would not believe that in four months, something that shocked the world would happen.

On July 14, after receiving a call from the Air Force Headquarters in the morning, Zhou Zhihan rode his bicycle to the headquarters after breakfast.

At night, a brand new military jeep was parked at the door of Zhou's house, and a young officer in the air force captain's uniform got out of the car.

"Old... Master!" The old housekeeper who had just returned from buying vegetables from outside threw the vegetable basket at the door and ran towards the yard. "Master, you're so happy..."

Everyone in the Zhou family came out.

Looking out the door together.

Air Force Captain Zhou Zhihan, wearing a lieutenant uniform, stood beside the jeep, looking at all the family with a heroic look.

When I arrived at the Air Force headquarters this morning, Zhou Zhirou personally awarded Zhou Zhihan the rank of military personnel, an air force captain. This level is already high enough to be a squadron leader.

Some old flying birds may not be promoted to Air Force captain after seven or eight years. Zhou Zhihan was awarded the rank of Air Force Captain as soon as he returned from abroad. It is conceivable how important he is to the current Chinese Air Force.

Although the Air Force captain at this time was the same as the captains of the Army and Navy, the Air Force was the pride of heaven. Cultivating a captain pilot was much more resources than training an army or naval captain. Therefore, the actual power of the Air Force was very high, and it was better than that of other military branches everywhere.

The military department specially prepared a brand new jeep for Zhou Zhihan, which was even more rewarding and attracted a lot of envious eyes, but there was no way, and the top students were really talented and knowledgeable.

Who doesn't accept it?

If you don't agree, you can.

You go and fly the Martin 139wc heavy bomber in the air and fly two 180-degree rolling motors, then fallen leaves float, turn the head, and shoot birds with machine guns.

If you can do it, you will be given the rank of major after landing.

What?

Can't do it?

What can't be done with a fool?

roll!

In the next two days, Zhou Zhihan lived in General Kong and studied various tactics day and night with many generals, school officials and lieutenants.

Zhou Zhirou ordered that in the past few days, all participants will not leave the Air Force headquarters. Anyone who leaks the secret will be killed for treason.

The Air Force Headquarters issued the latest top secret updates of the Chinese and Japanese armies obtained from the Command:

The two German mechanized divisions from Zhejiang in China were transferred to the north and pretended to fight to confuse the Japanese and make them wonder where China's main attack scope would be once the Sino-Japanese War broke out.

These two German mechanized divisions heading north. Once the war between China and Japan begins, these two divisions can serve as reserves and provide reinforcements at any time.

During this period, the communications troops quickly advanced northward, made perfect arrangements, and effectively grasped the every move of the Japanese army.

The reserves of ammunition, weapons, and food are enough to consume twenty German divisions within three months, and they are ready to fight for a protracted battle of at least five months.

On July 13, the group commander Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi transferred a strategic point of the 20th Independent Brigade to secretly enter the Shanghai urban area, mainly defending the safety of Hongqiao Airport and the municipal government. On the same day, the 95th Division went north to fill in the vacancy left by the 2nd Division.

On July 14, the Yangtze River blockade began to take effect, removing all lighthouses, navigation beacons on the Yangtze River, and the Navy set up a blockade line.

Send an artillery regiment to consolidate the Wusongkou position.

Jiangyin Fortress strengthened the reinforcement of two independent brigades, and moved the 88mm main gun position originally planned to be installed in Haizhou to Jiangyin Fortress for strategic defense and defense, beware of Japanese warships heading south or north along Jiangyin.

The task of these two independent brigades is to defend two 88mm main gun positions at all costs.

People are in the position.

According to the report of relevant intelligence departments on the 12th, the Japanese army formulated the outline of the [State, Land and Air Agreement Plan] and began to send troops to Shanghai, sending out four aircraft carriers, about 300 Type 95 and Type 96 carrier-based aircraft. The goal is that when China and Japan start war, all HNA carrier-based aircraft and army air force will attack with all their might and wipe out the Chinese Air Force in one fell swoop.

Zhou Zhirou said seriously: "These signs indicate that both China and Japan are fully preparing for the war. Whoever adjusts and arranges it first will take the initiative.

As far as I know, this time the war between China and Japan begins, our Chinese Air Force will take the lead and kick the Japanese out of the defensive formation, so I will show a plan of Chinese Air Force strength without any moisture."

So, two days later, the Air Force combatants made a [Drawing of the Chinese Air Force's Strength Strength] without any moisture.

Zhou Zhirou's face turned pale with the produced [Chinese Air Force Strength Return to Map].

The Air Force generals also looked ugly and frowned without saying a word.

The generals never thought that once they entered a state of war and reexamine the strength of the Chinese Air Force, the data would be so ugly.

On July 16, 1937, Zhou Zhihan, as a confidential adjutant, flew the plane with Zhou Zhirou, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, to Lushan to attend a secret meeting.

On July 18, 1937, the Lushan Conference was held.

As Zhou Zhirou's confidential adjutant, Zhou Zhihan was lucky enough to sit outside the conference hall to listen.

The conference hall is full of top figures.

When Principal Jiang delivered a speech, Zhou Zhihan listened with all his ears.

Principal Jiang:

“…

In short, the government has determined its consistent policy and position regarding the Lugou Bridge incident, and must stick to this permanent basis with all our efforts. We hope for peace without seeking peace; we are prepared to fight, but never seeking war.

We know that after the national situation is faced with the challenge, we can only sacrifice to the end without any chance of avoiding it.

If the war starts, it means that the land is divided into north and south, and the year is divided into old and young. No matter who is responsible for defending the territory and fighting against the war, they should all be determined to sacrifice everything.

…………

We are at odds with this friendship, so that the whole country can be united, obey discipline and strictly abide by order. I hope that you will return to all places and convey this meaning to society so that everyone can understand the situation and be loyal to the country...

The principal's voice was not finished, and all the participants were serious.
