Chapter Twenty-Eight: Calculating Hu Zongnan
6.28 Calculation of Hu Zongnan
Huang Haoran really wants to thank Jiang Baili, if there is no big brother here today, it will really be a bad thing, he made a chest expansion action, and the shirt attached to his back left the skin, what the highest authorities just said is obviously against their will, in the hearts of the highest authorities, the longer Nanjing City is in hand, the better, of course, it is best not to fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Chen Bui took a wild shot at the words of the highest authorities, cultural people are at a level, although they know that they are sycophants, but they sound quite comfortable, which can be regarded as a kind of talent.
Huang Haoran and the other supreme authorities' faces softened a little and began to manage the supreme authorities' soldiers, and the supreme authorities told Huang Haoran that there were no troops to adjust, and Jiang Baili once again opened his mouth at a critical time:
"Youchen, after the battle of Songhu, hundreds of thousands of troops have been disabled, and there is indeed no one in the hands of the commissioner......"
As soon as the supreme authorities showed a hint of relief, Jiang Baili's words turned sharply, making the supreme authorities chuckle in their hearts......
"That is, there are still some troops in Pukou that can move, but Hu Zongnan's troops are not easy to mobilize, so they have to be appointed to speak!"
Huang Haoran looked at the supreme authorities with sincerity, and the supreme authorities could only pretend to drink water to cover up the rapid change in his facial expressions, and wanted to transfer Hu Zongnan's troops across the Yangtze River, which was not a trivial matter!
Hu Zongnan is now the commander of the 17th Army Corps, and his 1st Army is stationed in Pukou, which is across the river from Nanjing.
But war is never a purely military issue, and politics and factions are everywhere in China......
Hu Zongnan is also known as Qin Zhai, the word Shoushan, once assumed the pseudonym Qin Dongchang, a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang. Born in the first phase of Huangpu, he went through the Huangpu Army, the Eastern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, and the warlord melee, and was Chiang Kai-shek's most favored and important military general, Hu Zongnan was the first commander of the Huangpu students in the national army, the first corps commander-in-chief, and it was also a miracle among the Huangpu officers.
Hu Zongnan's promotion is inseparable from the highest authorities, he is not a talented or background among the students of Whampoa, but Hu Zongnan remembered what the highest authorities said to him at the Whampoa Military Academy:
"We are real fellows, our own people! ......”
Hu Zongnan's career is inseparable from this sentence of the highest authority, he has always remembered that he is the highest authority's own person, and he is also very hard working when doing things for the highest authority, and soon, one honor after another fell to Hu Zongnan!
Huang Haoran wants Hu Zongnan to give him a hand, this is simply a sad thing!
Sure enough, the highest authorities did not agree to Jiang Baili's suggestion, but tried to expose the matter......
"Hundred miles! The location of Pukou is also very important, Matsui Shigen's Shanghai dispatch army crossed the Yangtze River in Jiangyin, and his target is Pukou! I put Hu Shoushan in Pukou with deep meaning! I'm asking the 1st Army to give you a good look at the back! I don't feel at ease if I hand over such an important place as a shop, ...... others! ”
Huang Haoran had already guessed such an answer from the highest authorities, if he had changed his usual times, he would have dispelled this extravagant hope, but now it was Nanjing in December 1937! Only by mastering more troops in your own hands can you make those nightmarish days farther away!
So Huang Haoran is going to set the 1st Army today!
"Take a seat! My subordinates are here today to report to you a good news! , that is, in Lishui, the Nanjing garrison will launch another war of annihilation! This time, our target is not a Japanese wing, but the entire 114th Division! As long as there are enough troops, I am sure that the 114th Division will pay a heavy price! Isn't this a great opportunity to show foreign powers the strength of our country? ”
Huang Haoran's words can be said to have scratched the itch of the highest authorities, and the most eager for victory in this room is none other than the highest authorities! The old man has been looking forward to a great victory in the defense of Nanjing, which is one of the reasons why he chose Huang Haoran to be in charge of the Nanjing garrison!
Huang Haoran did not live up to the expectations of the highest authorities, he wiped out the 150th Wing, but this result was still a little smaller in the eyes of the highest authorities!
What the highest authorities want is a big victory! Victory!
Now Huang Haoran has brought the entire 114th Division to the top authorities, and the top authorities are immediately tempted!
"Youchen! How sure are you? ”
The highest authorities could not resist the temptation, and he couldn't help but open his mouth......
"With the current strength, I'm afraid it's only 30% ......"
Thirty percent? Isn't that the same as nothing? Chen Bui immediately rolled his eyes, but Huang Haoran's words were very different in the ears of the highest authorities!
From the retreat of Songhu to the present, the highest authorities have heard the news of the army's defeat and retreat, and they have rarely heard even the news of counterattacks.
Not to mention that there is a 30% chance, even 10% can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the highest authorities!
"If the 1st Army in Pukou is transferred, how sure can you be?"
Huang Haoran saw that the highest authorities were trapped, and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"If the 1st Army can join the combat sequence of the Nanjing Garrison, I can transfer the 71st Army or the 99th Division out, so that I can have a fifty percent certainty! Remember, you must know, after all, this time it is a division of little devils who are going to be swallowed, and the difficulty is unprecedented! ”
"I know what you're saying! It would be best if the 114th Division could eat it, and if it could not be annihilated, the result of heavy damage would be completely acceptable! ”
Jiang Baili also agreed, but he helped the highest authorities make up their minds from another angle:
"Yes! Commission! Now that the mood of the people is low, how exciting would it be if there could be such a big victory? The Nanjing garrison has just annihilated a wing of the Japanese army, and now if it can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese 114th Division, the Japanese army will be sharp! Nanjing's city defense can also be a little more certain! ”
Jiang Baili's words further strengthened the highest authorities to the idea of Hu Zongnan's 1st Army to participate in the war, and seeing that the atmosphere of the talks had reached a climax, Chen Bui did not dare to say anything bad about the scenery, so he had no choice but to play Tai Chi and follow the direction of the highest authorities!
In the end, the matter of transferring the 1st Army to join the Nanjing garrison formation a resolution, and the highest authorities drafted an order and handed it over to Jiang Baili to do.
Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili got up at the same time to say goodbye, and the highest authority said to Huang Haoran with a smile:
"Youchen! I'll watch you in Wuhan! You're going to give me a good fight! As long as you can inflict heavy damage on the 114th Division, I will guarantee you the future of a corps commander! ”
Huang Haoran immediately said some words of determination, and the highest authority nodded with satisfaction, waved Huang Haoran and let him go.
As soon as Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili left the house, Chen Bui stood up and said to the highest authorities:
"Take a seat! Transferring the 1st Army to participate in the war, Hu Shoushan is afraid that he will be a little reluctant! If the commander is at odds......"
The highest authority snorted coldly and said:
"What time is it? I'm sure my students won't be able to tell the difference between the important and the heavy! Bray, now is the time for you, an evergreen in the literary world, to make a move, Huang Haoran won a battle in Lishui, the report is from Director Qian, you can help polish it and post it on the "Central Daily", so as to boost the morale of the people! These, I'll leave it to you, oh, by the way, you're going to go with me, you still have to ask Director Qian for specific things......"
"How dare you! Something to do! Thank you for your ......"
After saying this, Chen Bui turned around and left the study of the highest authority, and as soon as he went out, he saw Qian Dajun at the door, Chen Bui asked Qian Dajun for the battle report of the Nanjing garrison, and then asked about leaving Nanjing, and Qian Dajun solved them one by one.
After that, Qian Dajun led Chen Bui downstairs, and then called the names of Tang Shengzhi and Luo Zhuoying......
When Chen Bui walked out of the small building, Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili had already gotten into the car, Jiang Baili beckoned Chen Bui to ride with him, Chen Bui refused with a smile, he had a special car, and he didn't have to squeeze together with Jiang Baili.
Jiang Baili saw that Chen Bui was unwilling to leave with him in the car, and he didn't force it anymore, he and Huang Haoran leaned on the back seat, the car drove quickly onto the boulevard, Huang Haoran looked intently at the towering trees that were rapidly retreating outside the window, Jiang Baili suddenly asked:
"Youchen! Can you really be fifty percent sure of taking the 114th Division? It's not that I'm talking about you, your armies are all broken divisions, the rest time is short, the number of recruits received is not enough, and the actual combat effectiveness is very weak! ...... After the teaching corps was withdrawn from Shanghai to Nanjing, the teaching corps was ordered to expand its establishment, with the original three infantry battalions as the backbone, and expanded into three brigades! In addition to the special service battalion and the communications battalion, the cavalry, artillery, engineer, and baggage battalions of the directly subordinate units have all been expanded into regiments, although the current strength is more than 30,000; The actual combat effectiveness has dropped significantly! To put it mildly, it's just a tiger skin! Only the committee has always thought that the corps is German-style equipment, well-armed, and has been trained for a long time; Although it suffered losses in Shanghai, it still has strong combat effectiveness, so the commission will take the teaching corps as the main force to defend Nanjing. There are also those 'German Armor Divisions' and your 99th Army, which are also at the end of the crossbow, even if Hu Zongnan's 1st Army is returned to you, it is not easy to eat the 114th Division!! ”
Huang Haoran understands that what Jiang Baili is talking about is his most difficult problem at present, indeed, the troops under him are still too weak, Huang Haoran has long understood this very clearly, otherwise he would not have mobilized the 3rd Division and 1st Brigade to deal with a wing of the 114th Division, you must know that when he was in Shanghai, he dared to stab the Japanese 11th Division with only one 99th Army!
The combat effectiveness of the troops is declining sharply, this is an unsolvable problem, China does not have a reserve system, and the trained elite soldiers are defeated one by one, while the Japanese army can continuously form new army divisions and regiments to launch aggression! This is really an unequal war!
But even if you know that you are invincible, you still have to fight! Because this is a national war! There is no way back!
Huang Haoran thought for a long time before answering Jiang Baili's question, he said it very slowly, but he said it very categorically!
"Until now, I can only do it knowing that I can't do it! It's better than... It's better to do nothing! ”
Jiang Baili was silent after hearing this, what Huang Haoran said was a little bleak, but to tell the truth!
Oh, yes! Compared with those who don't do anything, Huang Haoran has done much, much better......!
"You can't always gag me with these righteous and awe-inspiring words! You have to tell me, what kind of play method do you prepare for Lishui? Otherwise. Don't blame me for not recognizing you little brother! ”
Jiang Baili seems to be really angry, he can't stand Huang Haoran always not saying what is in his heart to him, this little brother has too many ideas in his head, and some of them are simply whimsical!
But I don't know why Huang Haoran is always able to step on the tip of the knife to get through one difficulty after another?
Could it be that this is the legendary military genius?
Huang Haoran saw Jiang Baili's expression and knew that if he didn't explain honestly today, he wouldn't be able to pass the test no matter what, he first made a compensatory to Jiang Baili, his eldest brother always helped him without hesitation, often it was Huang Haoran A phone call or a telegram, Jiang Baili was going to break his leg in front of the highest authorities!
Huang Haoran really felt that Jiang Baili was treating himself as his own brother!
So he decided to let Jiang Baili know his plan in advance......
*********************************************
The military headquarters of the 10th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army.
Commander Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke and Chief of Staff Major General Tanabe Moritake received a telegram from Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division.
Shigeji Suematsu wrote in an extremely excited tone in the telegram that the 114th Division was besieging a senior commander of the Nanjing garrison in Lishui County, and the Chinese army in Nanjing was already busy, and now at least three rescue troops were being sent, and Suematsu Shigeji planned to use this high-level decoy in Lishui County to annihilate the living force of the Chinese army in large numbers!
After reading the telegram, Commander Yanagawa Heisuke asked Chief of Staff Tabe Moritake's opinion, Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake's words were very cautious, he was suspicious of this telegram from the 114th Division, no way, who let Shigeharu Suematsu have a history of lying?
There is no impermeable wall in the world, Suematsu Shigeji thought that he blocked the news that the 150th Wing was not annihilated by the Nanjing Garrison very well, in fact, the military headquarters of the 10th Army had already known the news of the destruction of the 150th Wing, and what made Commander Yanagawa Heisuke angry was that the way he got the news was actually the intelligence agency of the Central China Dispatch Army, Huang Haoran's telegram used a cipher code, and the Japanese intelligence agency successfully deciphered this information, and at first Yanagawa Heisuke also expressed doubts about the authenticity of this information, However, with the verification of Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake, some middle-level officers of the 114th Division reported Suematsu Shigeji's behavior to the military headquarters!
So now in the face of this telegram from Shigeharu Suematsu, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke and Chief of Staff Major General Tanabe Moritake's first thought is to first screen the authenticity of the content!
If it weren't for the fear that dealing with Shigeharu Suematsu would affect the morale within the 10th Army, Lieutenant General Heisuke Yanagawa would have transferred Shigeharu Suematsu back to the mainland a long time ago! Actually let the Chinese army swallow a wing in one bite! What does Shigeharu Suematsu do as the commander of the division eat?
Although the Japanese army has been preaching the decisive battle of Nanjing in China, in fact, the generals of the Central China Dispatch Army and the military headquarters all know that the Chinese troops they are facing have been withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield, and the soldiers are routed and will be the generals of the defeated army, and it is impossible to block the encirclement of more than 100,000 Japanese troops!
It was precisely because the weakness of the opponent was well known within the army that the defeat of the 114th Division seemed unforgivable!
Major General Tanabe Moritake, Chief of Staff, was obviously relieved after confirming that what Shigeji Suematsu said was indeed true through his inner line of the 114th Division, after all, the 114th Division is the unit of the 10th Army, and the Shanghai Dispatch Army is all the way to the ground, if the 114th Division can't be shamed immediately, then the 10th will still be laughed at by the Shanghai Dispatch Army even if it is advanced Nanjing City!
Therefore, when the chief of staff, Major General Tanabe Moritake, prayed in his heart that this battle report of the 114th Division was true!
Finally, his wish came true!
Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke saw the smiling face of Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake and knew that Shigeharu Suematsu was not lying this time, so it seems that if the 114th Division can eliminate one or two Chinese divisions in Lishui, and then kill the senior official of the Nanjing Garrison in Lishui County, the destruction of the 150th Wing will not be so important, after all, war is to die!
The careful Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake also asked the intelligence department of the Central China Dispatch Army to send a summary of the telegrams of the Nanjing garrison in the past few days, and after analyzing them by the Japanese generals of the 10th Army headquarters, they came to the same conclusion as the 114th Division!
Judging from the reinforcement numbers mentioned in the telegram of the Nanjing Garrison, there are trump cards such as the 36th Division and the 99th Army, as well as some miscellaneous troops that cooperate, and the specifications are not abundant.
Since the 114th Division surrounded Lishui County, the radio station of the Nanjing Garrison has become busy, from the analysis of the previous communication situation, the code names of Liu Xing and Tang Shengzhi have appeared on the airwaves, and what has not appeared is Luo Zhuoying, who has replaced Huang Haoran in exercising the command of the army these days!
Could it be him in Lishui County!?
Huang Haoran has been assassinated, and it seems that he has not recovered until now, according to the information of the Japanese military intelligence department, Tang Shengzhi is just an old warlord, if such a person commands the Nanjing Garrison, it is simply Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, but this situation he expected did not happen, since Huang Haoran's call sign became silent, Luo Zhuoying's call sign began to become active!
Based on this change, the Japanese intelligence department came to the conclusion that the actual command of the Nanjing garrison had fallen into the hands of Luo Zhuoying!
Originally, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke didn't pay attention to Luo Zhuoying, after all, in Shanghai, in Songhu and on the national defense line, the division commanders of the Japanese army had fought Luo Zhuoying many times, and the result was that the Japanese army won the victory without exception!
In the eyes of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, Luo Zhuoying may indeed be stronger than Tang Shengzhi, but it is far from reaching a level that can bring trouble to the Central China Army!
However, the destruction of the 150th Wing suddenly changed the views of Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, Luo Zhuoying actually dared to draw the already stretched Nanjing garrison to carry out a war of annihilation, and this ambition and courage alone deserved his attention Yanagawa Heisuke!
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhuoying came to Lishui County in person in order to inspire the Nanjing Garrison! This style has a bit of Huang Haoran's shadow!
No matter what! Can't let Luo Zhuoying walk out of Lishui County!
Luo Zhuoying in the official residence of the highest authority in Sifang City suddenly sneezed a few times!
He rubbed his nose vigorously and thought:
"What's going on? How did you feel the chill just now? ......" (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
