Chapter 120: Dilemma
9.120 Dilemma
Zhang Fakui glanced at Ou Zhen deeply, Zhang Fakui still knows this old subordinate very well! Maybe there are some generals of the Central Army and the Sichuan Army present who are afraid of death, but Ou Zhen will definitely not be such a person!
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ou Zhen followed Zhang Fakui's 4th Army to participate in the Battle of Songhu, and later retreated to southern Anhui for rest and recuperation due to serious casualties among the troops. During the withdrawal of the www.biquge.info Ou Zhen wrote a poem "Retreat Feelings" to express the emotion in his heart:
"The wind on the lake is bleak and the moon is gone, and the long causeway is far away and the trees are long. The three armies were indignant, and the people were in tears. ”
"The state affairs have been too long to rest, and the future is not how difficult it is. The sacrifice is a man's son's chronicle, and the blood is not empty, and the bones are not cold. ”
This is Ou Zhen, a "Confucian general" who can lead soldiers and write poems! It is Zhang Fakui's favorite general.
Regarding the relationship between Ou Zhen and Zhang Fakui, the generals of the 2nd Corps are well aware. So no one stood up to hold Ou Zhen. These people are waiting for Zhang Fakui to confide in Ou Zhen, so that they can make a profit.
Now more than half of Songpu's 106th Division has gone ashore, and the follow-up Japanese troops are still coming, and Gangcun Ningji has made it clear that he wants to fight Zhang Fakui to the death in Jiujiang. In the face of the joint attack of the Japanese army, navy and air force, this battle is doomed to failure, so Jiujiang is to give up as soon as possible, after all, no one is willing to throw their own family in this doomed city.
"Yuchen, I can understand your feelings, and I also know that Jiujiang is a Jedi of the military family, but the commission and Chief Chen have called me one after another to ask me to defend Jiujiang, and I really have no choice!"
As soon as Zhang Fakui said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense again! Why does it sound like Zhang Fakui really intends to defend a mountain of corpses and blood in Jiujiang according to the orders of the highest authorities and Chen Cixiu? Wouldn't that be to drag everyone to the funeral with him Zhang Fakui? Several division commanders of the Tang Enbo Group quickly exchanged glances with each other, and finally stood up with a very loyal appearance to come out as a lobbyist.
"Commander, although what Brother Yuchen said just now was a little eager, the truth is indeed unambiguous! It's not that the brothers are unwilling to defend Jiujiang, but the devil's firepower is too fierce, and the beachhead can't fight at all, and the tragedy of Songhu really can't be repeated......"
"yes, yes...... That's not how the battle is fought! Commander, would you like to talk to Chief Chen again......"
"As it should be! That's how it should be......"
Looking at the duplicitous group of people in front of him, Zhang Fakui was so angry that he didn't even want to speak. Do you want Lao Tzu to carry the black pot for you? Dream on! It's a big deal, let's hug each other and die! In addition to being disappointed and angry, Zhang Fakui decided to talk to Jiang Baili and Huang Haoran again, and maybe he could come up with some solutions. Or if he can get the order to retreat from Huang Haoran, then he can justifiably give up Jiujiang, since the attack on Ma Yuan, Huang Haoran's Wuhan Garrison Command has been given the power to mobilize nearby garrisons, otherwise Guan Lin Zheng would never dare to send troops to aid Ma Yuan's 16th Army and Huang Haoran's troops, and Huang Haoran can be regarded as Zhang Fakui's half of his boss. Huang Haoran's order can be used to counter Chen Cixiu's order, and the best thing is that the 2nd Corps and he Zhang Fakui will not be guilty.
But is Huang Haoran willing to give this order? Again, this is unknown. Thinking of this, Zhang Fakui was even more upset, he waved his hand at the commanders who were staring at him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone go back to the station, my generation of soldiers can die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, it can be regarded as a good home, sooner or later they have to go into battle, some things still need to be arranged."
Perhaps due to the pressure in his heart, Zhang Fakui didn't notice that he actually said these words like his last words, and the expressions on the faces of the commanders of the 2nd Corps after hearing it were simply wonderful!
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Fakui walked into his office quickly and closed the door, and finally did not forget to call the adjutant to set up a post outside the office door, and no idle people were allowed to enter.
In extraordinary times, the coach actually left the command post without permission? Zhang Fakui's abnormal behavior made his adjutant a little confused, and in order to confirm that he had heard correctly, the adjutant could only ask a few rhetorical questions: "Is there really no one missing?" If it's a call from the Theater Governor's Department and Wuhan, don't you read it? ”
"At most, it's just a few more minutes, what are you afraid of? All of them are as timid as mice, what can they become! Put your heart back in your stomach! When the sky falls, Lao Tzu is still on top, and he can't kill you! ”
The adjutant was scolded inexplicably, but Zhang Fakui took the opportunity to vent his bad anger! On the surface, he was scolding his adjutant, but in fact he was scolding the generals who were shrunken turtles just now. Zhang Fakui stayed alone in the room and sat on the sofa, first smoked three cigarettes in a row with his head down, then picked up the teacup and poured a breath of cold water, then stood up and picked up the phone on the desk again:
"Hey! I'm Zhang Fakui! Pick me up from the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters! I'm looking for Chief Huang! ”
"Hey! Commander Zhang, I'm Huang Haoran! If you have something to say, please speak! ”
I don't know why, as soon as Zhang Fakui heard Huang Haoran's voice, he suddenly felt that the boredom in his heart became much lighter, and his thinking began to become active, perhaps because Zhang Fakui didn't have to hide too many things when talking to Huang Haoran.
"Sir Huang, you really guessed it, the little devil did it last night......
Huang Haoran in the Tianjiazhen Headquarters quietly held up the telephone receiver and listened to Zhang Fakui's account of the battle in Jiujiang, he knew what the purpose of Zhang Fakui's call was now, and Huang Haoran did not blame Zhang Fakui for not carrying out the operation according to the plan he provided. In officialdom, many things are involuntary, and Zhang Fakui is just a chess piece. Such a big move as giving up Jiujiang and retreating to the second line is by no means something that can be decided in a moment and a half! Even if Zhang Fakui was willing, he had to convince the officers below first.
After several turns, Zhang Fakui finally led the subject out, and Zhang Fakui hoped that Huang Haoran could help him make Chen Cixiu and the highest authorities change their minds and agree to abandon the Jiujiang line. Huang Haoran smiled on the phone, and then said in a self-deprecating tone:
"Brother Xiang Hua! You also think too highly of me Huang Youchen! How can it be so easy to talk about the commission and the rhetoric? Besides, if it is true that I have done you this favor, I am afraid that he will not only not agree to this new plan, but also give you Zhang Xianghua small shoes to wear! You don't want to think about it either... You let him, the top boss, not ask for instructions, but instead came to me, the opponent, as a lobbyist! Change your position with Chen Cixiu, what will you think ......"
