Chapter Ninety-Six: Chain Reaction

6.96 Chain Reaction

Dai Mengru violently pushed away the soldiers around him, he rushed towards the alley, Xu Zilong's subordinates were worried that Huang Haoran was in danger, and immediately pounced on Dai Mengru's arm and subdued her, Fang Xiaoqian screamed, she shouted loudly: "Stop!" Let go of my sister! Is that how you treat a weak woman? Bastard! Bastard! ”

Fang Xiaoqian punched and kicked the soldiers next to her, her little pink fist naturally couldn't hurt the soldiers of the special service battalion, but after being made so troubled by Fang Xiaoqian, Huang Haoran finally noticed what happened here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Company Commander Xu! What's going on? Huang Haoran asked Xu Zilong naturally didn't dare to slack off, he ran over to report to his commander what had just happened, Huang Haoran glanced at the subdued Dai Mengru and the crying Fang Xiaoqian, he felt a little sorry for these two girls.

Robbed other people's houses and drove them away, now Nanjing is a war zone, two old men and two girls sleeping on the streets at night is a very dangerous thing, and Xu Zilong's soldiers are too ruthless, and it is not to deal with little devils, is it necessary to go all out?

"Company Commander Xu, give them more money, and then whether they are willing to go to Wuhan or go to the safe zone, find two people to escort them for a ride, after all, we occupy other people's houses, and it stands to reason that we should pay some price."

That's all Huang Haoran can do, he is not a saint, Nanjing is still at war, and the Japanese are the focus of his consideration now.

"Yes! Commander! ”

Xu Zilong saluted and then let his soldiers let go of Dai Mengru, the pain in his arm made Dai Mengru lean on the side of the alley and cry secretly, Fang Xiaoqian quickly pounced on him to comfort his heartbroken and injured sister.

Huang Haoran sighed lightly, and then walked to the depths of the alley with his staff officers, I have to say that Dai Mengru's vision is very good, Xu Zilong also chose the same house for Huang Haoran as the address of the temporary headquarters, and the basement where Dai Mengru stayed for many days was the main reason why Xu Zilong chose this place.

"What bullshit Commander! You know that you can connive at your soldiers to be wild with their own people! You have the ability to fight the Japanese! Sister, how are you? Is the injury serious? ”

Fang Xiaoqian first scolded Huang Haoran in a low voice, and then she wanted to lift Dai Mengru's clothes to check her injuries, where was Dai Mengru willing to show her skin in front of a large number of men, she quickly stopped Fang Xiaoqian's movements.

"Crazy Niko! What nonsense! ”

Fang Xiaoqian saw that Dai Mengru was still in the mood to lose her temper, and it was estimated that Dai Mengru's injury was not serious, she stuck out her tongue, and then whispered to Dai Mengru and said, "Am I not helping you get angry?" Maybe this bullshit commander will let us stay if I'm embarrassed, so that my sister can continue to be your Wangfu Stone, by the way, how many commanders are there in this Nanjing City? Is it my sister's Commander Huang, or is it this Commander? ”

"What do you say? He's the commander? How do you know? ”

Dai Mengru's eyes suddenly became bright, there are only a few commanders in Nanjing City, except for Huang Haoran, who are all elderly people, the commander spoke in a very thick voice just now, full of energy, could this person be Huang Haoran?

When Huang Haoran was talking just now, Dai Mengru was twisted with her hands and face towards the wall, so she couldn't see Huang Haoran's appearance, but Fang Xiaoqian saw it, but this heartless girl was focused on the crying Dai Mengru at that time, plus it was far away at night, so she couldn't recognize Huang Haoran.

"I heard what the officer who captured us said......"

Looking at Dai Mengru, who was starting to get excited, Fang Xiaoqian was a little surprised, she looked at her sister a little nervously, Fang Xiaoqian found that Dai Mengru's face suddenly turned red, could it be that she was injured internally?

"Is it General Huang Haoran?"

Dai Mengru was very nervous in her heart, and she tried very hard to control her pronunciation and try to be as pleasant as possible.

Huang Haoran, who hadn't heard a woman call himself like this for a long time, stopped, he turned to look at the two women who were still hugging each other, trying to tell which one said the sentence just now.

"You really are General Huang! How are you doing? ”

This sentence made Huang Haoran feel a little familiar, and he suddenly remembered that a female reporter had asked him such a question at a press conference not long ago, and he also had such a feeling at that time.

"You are.... The Miss Reporter? ”

One sentence made Dai Mengru burst into tears, he remembered himself! He really remembers! The feeling of dizziness of happiness made Dai Mengru stumble and almost fall, but fortunately, Fang Xiaoqian helped her in time.

Central China Front Command.

"Yaga!" Whoa......"

Chief of Staff Tsukada Attack has never seen such an angry Matsui Ishone, since receiving the telegram from the 9th Division, His Excellency the Commander of the Central China Front has become furious, Matsui Ishone has sent several telegrams to the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Lieutenant General Hatohiko Wang, and the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshika Ryosuke, the content of which is to demand that the 18th Brigade immediately stop the attack on Gwanghwamon, but until now, the reply calls from the Asaka official Hatohiko King and Yoshika Ryosuke are all shirking their responsibilities for them, And the 18th Brigade is still approaching Guanghuamen step by step!

Chief of Staff Tsukada had just learned that the Nanjing Garrison had blown up the moat bridge under the pressure of the 18th Brigade, and he didn't know whether this news was good news or bad news for Matsui Ishine, when Chief of Staff Tsukada took the telegram to find Matsui Ishine, he found that Matsui Ishine had quietly left the combat command room, and the chief of staff of Tsukada quickly chased him out, only to see Matsui Ishine in the garden burst and smashed a few flower pots at the door.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do now?" Chief of Staff Tsukada walked up behind Matsui Ishine and asked in a low voice, there were Japanese patrol soldiers in the four corners of the garden, and Chief of Staff Tsukada didn't want people to hear her conversation with Matsui Ishine.

"Only if the 101st Division is launched in advance, even if it can't take Wuhu, at least lay an obstacle on Huang Haoran's retreat, and order the 3rd Flying Regiment to bomb Wuhu day and night! Ito Masaki's troops are relatively weak in combat effectiveness, and they must be given some help, and then inform the 6th Division and the 18th Division to resolutely attack the Yangtze River, and be sure to block the Chinese troops reinforced from Nanjing to Wuhu! ”

Blown by the night wind for a long time, Matsui Ishone's train of thought finally regained clarity, the disobedience of the 18th Brigade has become a foregone conclusion, he vaguely saw the shadow of the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, Lieutenant General Hatohiko Wang, and the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshika Ryosuke, these front-line commanders are thinking about what Matsui Ishone is very clear, the Japanese army system is now extremely impetuous, and they don't even have the patience to wait for victory.

The fall of Guanghuamen is doomed, as long as Jing Shuxuanshi invades Nanjing, the military department and the Ministry of War will stand on the side of supporting the 18th Brigade, and it is useless to continue to say some inappropriate words now, and Matsui Shigen can only try to make up for the losses caused by Jing Shuxuanshi now.

"Then can the rest of the divisions that attacked Nanjing also move? The mood of the officers still needs to be paid attention to, the movement of the 18th Brigade is ...... other troops"

"Tsukada-kun!" Tsukada Takeshi's words were interrupted by Matsui Ishone, "Do you think the remaining division commanders will stay where they are?" Jing Shuxuan launched a crazy race, a race to attack Nanjing! Perhaps, in the end, it was not his 18 brigade that won the race......"

Chief of Staff Tsukada nodded, Nanjing at this moment should already be under fire......

When the commander of the 101st Division, Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, received the latest order from the Central China Front, the vanguard of his troops had just arrived in Yitai Town, which was still about 10 kilometers away from Wuhu, and the 101st Division was lucky, they did not encounter the main force of the Chinese army along the way, and the long queue of Japanese troops marching rapidly in the night looked like a big black snake, and the huge snake head was spitting red letters at Wuhu.

"Nishiyama-kun! Commander Matsui has ordered the 3rd Flying Regiment to come to our 101st Division to help in the battle, and the telegram also said that if we can successfully build a defensive line in Wuhu, then the first merit of the First Battle of Nanjing will be recorded in the accounts of our 101st Division. ”

The commander of the Ito Masakashi Division said in a mocking tone to his chief of staff Nishiyama Fukutaro Osa, that the 101st Division belonged to the operational sequence of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and that they were the only divisions in the Left Route Army that did not belong to Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army.

When the 101st Division was drawn from Shanghai, Ito Masaki thought that he would be thrown into the Nanjing battlefield, but as a result, the 101st Division was getting farther and farther away from Nanjing, and now it was photographed in Wuhu, which was even more remote than the 10th Army!

Yanagawa Heisuke was able to change the direction of the 10th Army's attack without authorization, and also lost the 114th Division in Lishui. And he, Ito Masaki, could only replace the 10th Army to attack Wuhu!

Ito Masakaki was very disappointed that Matsui Ishine did not place his division near Nanjing, Wuhu and Nanjing can only be regarded as a piece of chicken ribs, why did the first credit for the battle of Nanjing be recorded in the account of the 101st Division? It's just some lies to trick the 101st Division into working hard in Wuhu...... This battle exploit is not what you Matsui Shigen said! If you were a senior executive of the Japanese government or a senior general in the military department, would you be willing to promote an army division that would invade the Chinese capital, or would you be willing to promote a unit that would serve as a blocker in a campaign?

The answer is obvious!

Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fukutaro is a relatively well-behaved Japanese soldier, and he obviously can't accept the orders of Ito Masaka's boss, but because Ito Masakaki is the division commander of the 101st Division, Nishiyama Fukutaro did not have a seizure, and he tried to use some words to ease Ito Masakai's resistance to Commander Matsui.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Wuhu is the only way for the famous general Huang Haoran to retreat on land now, Lu Xiang Sugiyama Yuan has spoken, whoever can eliminate Huang Haoran's 99th Army will give him a good future, and this guarantee can be regarded as a rare benefit!"

Ito Masakaki smiled disappreciatively, he knew that Nishiyama Fukutaro was a person, this person was really a little boring, Ito Masakaki always called Nishiyama Fukutaro Nishiyama-kun, but Nishiyama Fukutaro always called Ito Masakari as the division commander.

You only know that you are obedient guys, no wonder you are still a big Zuo until now!

"Eliminate the 99th Army? How easy is it to say? The last person to boast about Haikou was the person who seemed to be Yamamuro Sotakeshi of the 11th Division, and now he should be in Taiwan, right? Our 101st Division is no stronger than the 11th Division, and Huang Haoran still has at least 100,000 troops in his hands...... We have a division to defend a defense line dozens of kilometers wide, and your optimism is really admirable! ”

Nishiyama Fukutaro was refuted by Ito Masaki, indeed, it is unrealistic to rely only on the 101st Division, a lone army, to intercept more than 100,000 Nanjing garrisons in Wuhu, although the Chinese army has no spirit when attacking, but it is still very willing to fight hard when fleeing for its life, and when the time comes, the Nanjing garrison will be released, and the 101st Division is the most directly responsible, Nanjing's honor has not been shared, but now it is possible to give the Central China Front a black cauldron, no wonder Ito Masahiro's attitude is so negative.

"The command of the Front has already given the order..... In any case, we can only obey, Your Excellency the division commander, let the 103rd Wing closest to Wuhu start first, with the cooperation of the air force, even if we can't take Wuhu, we can put on a posture of encirclement, and Commander Matsui also knows that our troops are insufficient, and there should be a backhand......"

When Nishiyama Fukutaro said this, his confidence was obviously insufficient, and Ito Masakaki gave Nishiyama Fukutaro face, after all, he still had to hand over to the front army headquarters.

"Order the 103rd Wing to attack Wuhu! Send a telegram to the 3rd Flying Regiment, and it's better to ask them to wipe Wuhu City off the map! If not, at least paralyze the defense system of the Chinese army! ”

The shadow of the 101st Division shrouded towards Jiangcheng Wuhu......

**********************************************************************

The main force of the garrison in the Wuhu area is actually not the Nanjing garrison, Liu Xiang's 23 Army Corps withdrew to this Jiangcheng after the defeat of the Guangsi Campaign, the establishment of the Sichuan army sounds scary, and a division of 3,000 people also has it, so although Liu Xiang's two armies nominally have five divisions and two brigades, but the actual combat effectiveness is only known to the generals within the Sichuan army.

Since the end of the battle of Quang Si, there have been discordant voices in the 23rd Army Corps.

Rao Guohua, the commander of the 145th Division, stubbornly defended the boundary card and Guangde, and his troops were completely lost, he fell into the encirclement of the Japanese invaders, committed suicide unyieldingly, and shed his last drop of blood to defend Nanjing. Rao Guohua was also the first high-ranking general to die in the Sichuan army. However, the highest authorities seized on the matter and made a big fuss about it, dismissing Pan Wenhua, the commander of the 23rd Army, and reusing Tang Shizun, the commander of the 21st Army. Pan Wenhua is Liu Xiang's confidant, and the supreme authorities are obviously trying to shuffle Liu Xiang's 23rd Group Army.

In the mid-30s, Liu Xiang defeated various opponents and became the boss of the entire Sichuan Province. Sichuan Province, which had been in civil war for twenty years, was divided into a superficial unity. Liu Xiang did not wipe out the rest of the Sichuan warlords. In addition to his own subordinates, there were also large and small warlords in the province, such as Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, and Li Jiayu, who were temporarily subordinate to Liu Xiang. In addition, Liu Xiang's uncle Liu Wenhui and his nephew failed in the battle for Sichuan, and led the remnants of the army to occupy Xikang Province. Liu Xiang's old partner and rival Yang Sen defected to the highest authorities and became the provincial chairman in Guizhou.

For the fertile province of Sichuan, the highest authorities have long coveted and are looking for every opportunity to insert. During the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army, he dismissed Tian Songyao, who was ineffective in combat, and was replaced by Sun Zhen; Later, he took the opportunity of chasing and suppressing the Central Red Army to plant forces in Sichuan. In 1935, the supreme authorities used the name of rectification and training to greatly reduce the number of the Sichuan warlords' troops.

In 1937, the highest authorities convened a reorganization meeting to reduce the number of the Sichuan Army by one-third on the existing basis. Which numbers to revoke and which troops to keep are related to the life of warlords and warlords! Therefore, at the meeting, the representatives of the Central Army and the warlords of Sichuan intrigued, fought for power and profit, and played all kinds of martial arts.

However, at this moment, the 77 Incident broke out! The nation is in danger!

The July 7 Incident announced the beginning of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and also turned many of the civil war heroes of the past into hot-blooded soldiers who truly defended their homes and defended the country.

The warlords of Sichuan are keen on money and power, greedy for personal gain, and good at fighting in the nest. However, they are also Chinese soldiers. In the blink of an eye, the original struggle between yin and yang turned into a blood-boiling oath. The warlords have expressed their support for Chairman Liu, support the highest authorities, and resolutely resist to the end! Each other's little abacus has long been thrown out of the clouds.

Soon, at the national faction conference held in Lushan, Liu Xiang generously stated that in order to resist Japan, Sichuan was willing to send 300,000 troops, 5 million strong men, and 10 million quintals of rice!

Fathers and elders from all over Sichuan also held colorful flags and sent their children out of Sichuan. They have been groaning under the fire of the civil war for twenty years, and now, for the first time, looking at these sons and daughters in military uniforms around them, they feel not fear, but kindness. Liu Xiang's prestige in Sichuan is as high as the prestige of the highest authorities in the whole country.

The supreme authorities told Liu Xiang in Nanjing that the Seventh Theater would be established in Anhui, Henan, and Shandong, with Liu Xiang as the commander of the theater, and the main force of the Sichuan Army would be deployed in this area to fight against Japan.

According to this plan, Liu Xiang immediately discussed with the warlords in Sichuan about going out of Sichuan to resist the war. In the end, it was decided that the first batch of troops, totaling five armies and more than 100,000 people, would be divided into two routes, north and south, to go out of Sichuan to resist the war.

Among them, the 22nd Group Army of the North Road was composed of the 45th Army of Deng Xihou's Division, the 41st Army of Sun Zhen's Division, and the 47th Army of Li Jiayu's Division, with a total of 6 divisions and about 60,000 people. They set out from Chengdu and entered Henan through Shaanxi through Hanzhong. The 23rd Group Army on the South Road, with the 21st Army (Tang Shizun) and the 23rd Army (Pan Wenhua) under Liu Xiang's command, had a total of about 670,000 people in five divisions and two brigades, starting from Chongqing and entering Henan through Hubei. Then the two Sichuan armies met in the Seventh War Zone and fought together against Japan under the leadership of Liu Xiang.

In addition, the 20th Army and the 43rd Army under Yang Sen's command, totaling about 20,000 people, set out from Guizhou and directly entered the Songhu battlefield to participate in the battle. Because Yang Sen was at odds with Liu Xiang, his troops were not counted in the seventh theater sequence.
