Chapter 120: Blatant Disobedience
By the time the Battle of Nanjing began, Nanjing's population had exceeded 1 million!
Due to the underestimation of the consequences of the Battle of Songhu, the evacuation of personnel in Nanjing has not yet begun!
Or to put it another way, before the end of the Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Government did not consider moving the capital at all!
Because of the evacuation of more than one million people, there are also a large number of materials, including a large number of factories and equipment for party, government and military organs, and the transfer of these personnel and materials is a huge systematic project, which is enough to make everyone involved in this work anxious!
After entering mid-November, Chairman Chiang was bogged down in endless concrete affairs.
However, no matter how busy he was with his work, Chairman Chiang would take a little time out every few days to call Dai Li to the rest house to ask Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment about the latest movements.
By the way, the Renaissance Society has been officially reorganized.
Dai Li is now the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau.
After the meeting, when Chairman Jiang returned to the rest house, Dai Li was already waiting in the small reception room.
Seeing Chairman Jiang walk in, Dai Li hurriedly stood up and bowed, and respectfully shouted to the commissioner.
"Yu Nong, don't be formal." Chairman Jiang waved his hand and said, "Is there any latest news from the 367th Regiment?" ”
Long before coming to rest in the house, Dai Li had already guessed that Chairman Jiang would definitely ask about the situation of the 367th regiment, so he did enough homework in advance.
At that moment, Dai Lian replied respectfully: "If you go back to the commission, the current situation of the 367th Regiment is not bad, just yesterday, they also won a battle near the ancient town of Kanazawa, although the results of this battle cannot be compared with the previous ones, but also annihilated at least two infantry squadrons of the devil, oh, by the way, and also incorporated some remnants of the 67th Army." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Chairman Jiang's frowning brows finally stretched a little.
To be honest, now Chairman Chiang hears a large number of news about the loss of troops and territory of the Nationalist Army every day, and these news make his head bigger, that is, the 367th Regiment can bring him a little comfort.
Soon, however, Chairman Chiang's brows furrowed again.
"That's not right." Chairman Jiang frowned and said, "Why is Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment still in Jinze Town?" ”
In the current situation, most of the more than 100 divisions of the national army that had been defeated from the Songhu battlefield had already retreated to the line of Suzhou and Wuxing, and the Japanese army had also advanced to the line of Nanxun and Kunshan.
"This ......" Chairman Jiang's question was asked suddenly, and Dai Li couldn't answer it.
After pondering for a moment, Chairman Jiang said to Dai Li: "Yunong, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics has just been reorganized, and you, the deputy director, have just taken office, so you must be very busy with various affairs, so the liaison with the 367 regiment, the Military Unification Bureau does not need to ask anymore, or transfer it to the attendant room and leave it to Mu Yin to be in charge." ”
"Got it, take a seat." Dai Li said respectfully.
After finishing speaking, Dai Li handed over the contact information with the 367 regiment to Qian Dajun.
After sending Dai Li away, Chairman Jiang said to Qian Dajun: "Mu Yin, immediately telegraph to Zhong Yi and ask him to lead the 367th Regiment to return to Nanjing immediately!" "I'm going to see him in three days!" ”
"Three days?" Qian Dajun whispered, "Bench, will the time be too tight?" ”
"Five days, then." Chairman Jiang said, "Let him return to Nanjing within five days!" ”
"Yes!" Qian Dajun replied respectfully, "I'm going to send a telegram to the 367th regiment." ”
"Well, go ahead." Chairman Jiang nodded and said, "By the way, call Shihe over." ”
"Yes!" Qian Dajun agreed, bowed and exited the living room.
……
When the telegram was received from the attendant's room, the 367th Regiment was resting in Dongtian Village.
Dongtian Village is located to the east of the ancient town of Kanazawa, that is, after the battle of Kanazawa Town, Zhong Yi did not lead his troops to the west, but walked more than ten miles east and hidden.
No one questioned Zhong Yi's decision.
From Jinshanwei to Jinshan County, and then to Sheshan Town, after this series of battles, Zhong Yi's prestige has been completely erected, whether it is the Jinshan County Security Team, the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment, the remnants of the Einsatzgruppen, or the remnants of the 67th Army who have just joined, they have all recognized Zhong Yi's command in their hearts.
Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the attendant's room, He Ajiu frowned.
Zhong Yi noticed the slight change in He Ajiu's expression, put down the enamel teacup in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He Ajiu handed over the telegram that had just been translated, and said in a low voice: "There are two things, one is that the unit that contacted us has been changed from the Military Command Bureau to the attendant room. ”
"Really? And that's a good thing. Zhong Yi said hesitantly, "That is to say, from now on, our 367th Regiment will become a guard army under the direct command of Chairman Jiang, this should be regarded as an honor, right?" ”
Chu Bangchang, Chen Luyuan and the others all looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
It stands to reason that this is indeed an honor, but they heard the irony in Zhong Yi's tone.
He Ajiu shook his head and said, "Besides, the attendant's room ordered us to return to Nanjing within five days!" ”
The eyes of Chu Bangchang and the others turned to Zhong Yi, and they returned to Nanjing in five days, the time is indeed tight, but it is not impossible, the problem now is that Zhong Yi does not plan to go back at all.
"Back to Nanjing in five days?" Zhong Yi was stunned, and said, "Ah Jiu, return to the attendant room immediately, forgive me!" ”
Hearing this, Chu Bangchang, Chen Luyuan, He Yunpeng and others were immediately stupid, God, this order is said to be an order from the chairman's chamberlain, but in fact, it is Chairman Jiang himself, Zhong Yi actually replied that it is difficult to obey the order, this is a blatant disobedience, is it really good to do this?
He Ajiu whispered: "Ah Yi, is it inappropriate to reply like this?" Why don't you explain it to the chairman's chamberlain? ”
"Explain? What is there to explain. Zhong Yi waved his hand, "Don't you hear that the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, we are now on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and we don't understand the actual situation here." ”
Although He Ajiu felt that what Zhong Yi said was reasonable, he still replied to the attendant's room with an extended telegram, in which Zhong Yi's intentions were probably mentioned.
Seeing He Ajiu ticking and sending a report there, Zhong Yi didn't stop him.
After all, Lao He said that before the liaison officer sent by his superiors woke him up, he must forget that he is a Communist Party member, and he must learn to think and act like a Kuomintang member.
So now he is the chief of staff of the 367 regiment!
As the chief of staff of the 367th Regiment, he can show his pride and angularity in front of Chairman Chiang, but he can't do too much, otherwise his position will be very doubtful!
