President Jiang was extremely happy about Sekt’s visit. Although it was impossible to hold a grand welcome ceremony for General Sekt under wartime conditions, he still raised the standard of the welcome ceremony as much as possible, asked a large number of military generals to attend, and personally introduced Sekt to the most famous group of generals in the Celestial Empire at that time.
“General Seckt, your visit has brought us hope. Thank you and your government for the generous assistance you have given us in such a time of crisis. We, the Celestial Empire, will never forget your kindness!” In
1928, President Chiang was not as sinister as he was in history. Because of the early outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was unable to collude with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups.
At the critical moment of the country, what he thought about in his heart was the safety of the country, so at this time he was still a relatively pure patriot.
Seckt also didn’t like those politicians who were in a state of decadence. He had seen a lot of dirty political tricks used by politicians, so he was very tired of those things. When Marshal Hindenburg became president, he actually intended to promote him to a senior official in the government, but he declined politely because he didn’t like all kinds of dirty calculations in politics!
Compared to being a politician, he still prefers to be a soldier. The army is obviously much purer than the officialdom.
So when he saw President Chiang and the group of vigorous young generals of the Celestial Empire, he saw hope in these people.
Although these people are well-equipped, Poor, the equipment and clothing are all varied, and it is obvious that there is no complete industrial system and logistics system to support this army. This army may not be as good as the guerrillas in Europe. At least, the guerrillas are in Europe, in a large number of industrialized countries, and it is still possible to customize some uniform uniforms and purchase a batch of weapons with the same specifications.
But in the Celestial Empire, they lack such factories, so they have no ability to do so!
Seckt nodded slightly, and wrote down the two tasks of establishing a clothing factory and a unified logistics support system in his mind, and then said to President Jiang:”Mr.
President, I am here to assist your country in resisting the invasion of foreign enemies on the orders of the head of state.
This batch of people who came with me are some of our country’s staff and front-line officers.
I hope your country can give them the opportunity to go deep into the front line and the grassroots to fully understand the detailed information of your army’s organization, training, equipment and tactical thinking!
”
After hearing what Seckt said, President Jiang pondered for a moment, then nodded:”Okay, I will arrange these issues, and will definitely provide convenience to your advisory group as much as possible.
However, most of our troops are currently on the front line, and the battlefield on the front line is very dangerous.
I suggest that you postpone this work and wait until the end of this battle, when our army is resting, to check it out.
That way it will be safer!
” The intelligence obtained by President Jiang showed that there were 32 members of the Hans Officer Advisory Group who came with Seckt this time, including 2 lieutenant colonels, 9 lieutenants, and the rest were all second lieutenants and above.
These officers all graduated from Hans’ major colonels, and most of them participated in the Battle of Borland and the Battle of Gaul.
They have experience in front-line combat and command, and are one of the middle-level officers in Hans’ army!
These officers are all talents for Hans.
They are willing to send these people to the battlefield of the Celestial Empire to support the Celestial Empire’s battle.
That can only mean that their assistance to the Celestial Empire is very strong and generous, but as the host, President Jiang cannot ignore their lives.
If they are allowed to go to the front-line battlefield…
If something unexpected happened, it would be difficult for him to explain to the head of state!
If Hans mistakenly thought that he deliberately sent these people to the front line to die, the adverse impact would be even greater.
So although Principal Jiang was very happy that Hans supported them so much, he did not dare to use these people completely, because these people were not Chinese after all, but foreign guests! Principal
Jiang’s arrangement was originally well-intentioned, but General Seckt shook his head firmly after hearing it:”Don’t worry, Mr.
President.
The head of state told us before we set off that although we are a guest army, we need to follow the local customs.
After entering your country, the head of state asked us to obey your command and leadership and not cause trouble to your country!
At the same time, as a soldier, if you don’t go deep into the front battlefield to investigate, you will never be able to grasp the first-hand intelligence of the army, so I hope the president can agree to my request and let these people go to the battlefield to see, so that we can grasp as much information as possible about both the enemy and us, which is very critical for our subsequent work!
”
Seckt’s insistence made President Chiang a little embarrassed. He glanced at Gu Weijun. Gu Weijun had accompanied Seckt and others for several days along the way and should have a deeper understanding of this person, so he wanted to get some hints from Gu Weijun before deciding how to deal with it.
Seeing President Chiang looking over, Gu Weijun nodded slightly and told President Chiang that the Hans were of this character. They were not hypocritical. They were very rigid and very stubborn.
Seeing Gu Weijun’s hint, President Chiang breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Hans insisted on doing so, he would not stop them. So he said to the commander of the left wing army, Chen Cheng:”Since General Seckt insists on doing so, then Cixiu, you can make arrangements, but you must remember to protect General Seckt’s personal safety. If something happens, I will only ask you!”
Chen Cheng looked embarrassed. If he was asked to fight, he would do it without hesitation. But as the commander of the Left Wing Army Group, he felt a little aggrieved to protect a visiting foreign guest.
However, just as he hesitated, he was glared at by President Chiang. As a direct subordinate of President Chiang, Chen Cheng naturally did not dare to refuse President Chiang’s arrangement. So he stood up straight like a conditioned reflex and answered loudly:”Yes, I will complete the task and will never let General Seckt suffer any harm!”
Seckt frowned, but in the end he didn’t say anything. He could imagine the pressure and concerns his identity brought to the Celestial Empire. It was obviously a huge concession for the other party to do this, so if he continued to insist, it would be a bit too much!
After getting the arrangement, Seckt immediately asked Chen Cheng to check the situation on the left wing army’s position.
The left wing army’s position was mainly concentrated in Jiading, with the main battlefield in Yuepu, Luodian, Liuhe and Yangxing.
It was not far from Wusong, the landing site of the Japanese army, and it was the area where the Japanese army was attacking fiercely.
As soon as the German officer group arrived at the position, they immediately took various observation equipment to go deep into the The front line went to closely observe the battle situation of both sides.
Even Seckt himself entered the headquarters of Xue Yue’s 19th Army to understand the situation.
Suddenly, a lot of neatly dressed German officers came to the position.
This news immediately caused a heated discussion among the Chinese soldiers.
When they heard that the German reinforcements had arrived, the morale of the soldiers suddenly increased a lot, and they immediately repelled the offensive of the Japanese army on the opposite side.
The repelled Japanese army was confused.
Shouldn’t the normal plot be that the battle lasted for several hours, with heavy casualties on both sides, and they would retreat after more than half of the casualties on their side?
