Chapter 67: One Night in Jinling
6.67 One night in Jinling
"Commander, do you think this is a new trick played by that old devil Matsui Ishone, who deliberately scattered a few pieces of broken paper to paralyze us, and then made a surprise attack while we were slack?"
Huang Haoran shook his head, he was the person in this room who knew the ins and outs of this letter, Fan Jie's speculation was obviously wrong, but his high vigilance was very commendable, fighting a war is to keep it like this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Historically, the day when Matsui Ishine threw this "Surrender Advice" into the city of Nanjing should have been in the early morning of December 10, that is, yesterday.
However, the historical Matsui Shigen has not suffered so many big losses in the periphery of Nanjing, and today's situation is very different from history, Huang Haoran thought that Matsui Shigen's letter would not come, he didn't expect that this letter would still appear in front of him now, but it was a day late in time.
History really has a super correction, Huang Haoran's arrival has made the defense of Nanjing unrecognizable, but some important historical events are still appearing, it seems that his butterfly wings are not hard enough, and the storm caused is not strong enough!
Huang Haoran felt that he really admired Matsui Shigen, if he had suffered so many losses on the battlefield in Nanjing, he would definitely not have been able to write such a domineering "Surrender Advice", and if people who don't know the Nanjing War situation just read this "Surrender Advice", they would still think that the Japanese army had caught up with the Nanjing garrison to a dead end! But in fact, although the Nanjing garrison is on the defensive, it is far from the point where it can only be slaughtered by the Japanese army, the traffic between Nanjing and Wuhu is still unimpeded, and most of the permanent fortifications on the periphery of the city are still in the hands of the Nanjing garrison.
What prompted Matsui to do something that seemed ridiculous? Could this just be the self-consolation of the Japanese Central China Front?
In addition, Huang Haoran really couldn't think of any value to the Japanese army in this "Surrender Advice......
"Leave him alone! Maybe it's a good thing, if Matsui Shigen, the old devil, is trustworthy, we will have a few more hours of rest and recuperation, notify all troops, stay vigilant, find time to rest when we see the stitches, and tell Wang Huanzhi to make good use of this rare few hours to replenish more supplies for each division, and we can't take away those things that we get from the military commanders, and we can send everything we can! The troops have a guy who can take advantage of it, and they can also give more blood to the Central China Front! ”
Fan Jie's record was recording when Huang Haoran spoke, and only after Huang Haoran finished speaking did Fan Jie's sentence interject: "Commander, do you think Little Japan has credibility at all?" Until now, the Central China Front has always insisted that the commander of their division Shigeji Suematsu had stepped on a landmine himself, and the "Central Daily" has been scolding the Japanese for this matter in the past few days! I don't think Matsui Ishone's credit is much better than that of the devil's military newspaper reporter......"
"What are you talking about! Won't you know by noon? At least now the devils didn't shell and didn't bomb, let the troops in the city look for the surviving civilians in the ruins, and those corpses, all those who can be buried are buried, they are all compatriots, it's not good to let them lie in the open like this......"
Huang Haoran's words made Fan Jie feel a trace of self-blame, just now when he was mocking Matsui Shigen, Fan Jie did temporarily forget that he was still in battle, Huang Haoran said these opinions should have been put forward by Fan Jie, the chief of staff, but now it actually made Huang Haoran, the commander, worry about it, Fan Jie felt that he was a little derelict in his duties.
"That's it!" Huang Haoran patted Fan Jie's shoulder, he knew that Fan Jie's seriousness came up again, don't look at Fan Jie's usual lack of shape, but for his duties as chief of staff, Fan Jie has always taken it very seriously, Huang Haoran felt that he should let Fan Jie's relaxation: "Chief of Staff Fan, it's rare that devils don't come to make trouble, you arrange the things at hand, let's go to the city to take a walk!" ”
Fan Jie nodded, said yes, and then he ran to a bunch of staff officers to make arrangements, Huang Haoran himself took the first step, he climbed onto the ground again, this time his guards followed closely, Huang Haoran looked back at these officers and soldiers with loaded guns, and sighed secretly, I don't know when he started, he actually lost his freedom.
Some of the ground buildings of the city defense headquarters have been turned into rubble in the bombing of these days, and the Japanese army obviously knows what kind of value these targets they are attacking, and all the buildings of the Nanjing military and political institutions have been seriously bombed, while the damage to the areas where citizens live is much lighter, the Japanese are Japanese, and they have never been able to change the problem of frugality, and the devil air force will never adopt the tactics of "wasting" ammunition like carpet bombing like the US military.
Countries that lack resources have the style of play of countries that lack resources......
When Huang Haoran was thinking about this, the officers and soldiers of the guard drove the cars hidden in the semi-underground garage and nearby houses, although there was no Japanese air raid tonight, but the order of light control was not lifted, so these cars did not turn on the lights, Huang Haoran really admired the eyes of these drivers, and they could still drive the car so fast in such a light, it must be said that this is a skill.
Huang Haoran sat in the car and waited for a while, Fan Jie finally came out, temporarily replacing Huang Haoran and Fan Jie, who commanded the entire Nanjing City Defense Command Operations Department. Rich, this German guy is very rigorous, and Huang Haoran is not worried at all when he is used to deal with it for a few hours.
Since the exchange of fire between the Japanese army and the Nanjing garrison, Huang Haoran has not had time to take a good look at the city he is defending, and tonight, he finally has time.
Huang Haoran and Fan Jie's sedan was sandwiched between the front and rear four large trucks, and the truck's compartment was full of guards, although the devil had not yet entered the city, but no one knew whether there were assassins and traitors of the Japanese lurking in Nanjing City, since Huang Haoran was "assassinated", his guard level has been raised to the highest level.
On the one hand, the car did not drive fast, on the one hand, because there was no driving light, and on the other hand, it was to blame for the bad road conditions in Nanjing, where many houses were blown down by the Japanese air force on both sides of the road, and many bricks, wood, and telephone poles were fallen on the road, and in addition to some craters caused by the explosion, Huang Haoran felt that his car would not travel at a speed of more than 10 kilometers per hour.
Even at this speed, it didn't last long, and soon the road conditions were so bad that they didn't allow the car with a low chassis to drive, Huang Haoran and Fan Jie got out of the car one after another, originally they were going to sit in the cab of the truck, but when Huang Haoran walked to the side of the truck, he suddenly saw a few bicycles upside down on the street, Huang Haoran walked over and pulled up a car to check some, and then beckoned Fan Jie to change the two wheels of the guy to continue to move forward, so there was a team of crooked riders on the road, The trucks followed the cycling team at a very slow pace.
Fan Jie's car technology is far inferior to Huang Haoran, his bicycle is always in danger of falling at any time, Huang Haoran's movements are much more chic, he pedaled the bicycle while looking at the scene on both sides of the street, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, corpses and scattered belongings, he felt that he was back in the winter of 1932, a cold wind blew, Huang Haoran couldn't help but sneez!
Huang Haoran led Fan Jie and the guards to ride along Zhongshan East Road to Xinjiekou, the closer to Xinjiekou, the more dead people on the road, Huang Haoran knew that these were citizens who wanted to retreat along Zhongshan Road to Xiaguan Wharf, so many people were densely crowded on a Zhongshan road, and the Japanese pilots naturally would not let go of such an opportunity for slaughter!
At that time, it must have been like purgatory......
"Commander! There's someone ahead! Slow down, let's go up and check it out! ”
This is the guard behind Huang Haoran suddenly shouted in a low voice, these elite soldiers were stumped by the means of transportation that Huang Haoran chose, they are not very good at fiddling with this kind of two-wheeled thing, if they don't ride, they really can't keep up with Huang Haoran's speed, seeing the fire flashing in front of him, Huang Haoran refused to slow down, the anxious captain of the guard jumped off the bicycle suddenly, and then began to pull his legs and run wildly, the guards next to him also did the same, with their excellent explosive power, they finally grabbed Huang Haoran's front.
Huang Haoran was afraid of hitting the guards in front, so he had to fork his legs and stop the car, and Fan Jie, who caught up from behind, stretched out a hand and grabbed the faucet of Huang Haoran's bicycle, and he panted and said: "Division... Commander, don't... Don't embarrass them, all... It's all for your safety......"
Huang Haoran was amused by Fan Jie's stammering appearance, he turned over and got out of the car and changed it to a cart to march, the captain of the guard stopped running when he saw Huang Haoran slowing down, he asked a few guards to check the place where there was a fire first, and he accompanied Huang Haoran and Fan Jie to walk slowly.
The captain of the guard swore that he must learn to ride these two wheels in the future, and the commander seemed to like riding these two wheels very much, and in order to better protect the commander, all the officers and men of the guard must learn it!
Huang Haoran slowly walked to the area of the fire, several cars that had been burned into shells were stacked together in the middle of the road, it seemed that there was a traffic accident when encountering an air raid by a Japanese aircraft, Huang Haoran's order has been implemented, several people with white towels on their faces are carrying the corpses on the Wang animal cart, these Nanjing citizens with different identities before their lives are now piled together intimately, and they are finally truly equal......
Huang Haoran's appearance obviously interfered with these people who were collecting the corpses, from the fact that Huang Haoran was full of soldiers standing around him, these people had already guessed that Huang Haoran was a big official, as for how big it was, these people didn't want to ask, and they didn't bother to ask!
It's better to collect two more corpses if you have spare time, the dead are some poor people, you can carry a few more, although you can't give them a tombstone, but at least they don't have to expose the corpses on the street.
Huang Haoran stood next to these people and watched quietly, his soul was being baptized.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the waste of a building next to it, and immediately a guard turned the muzzle of the gun, and what appeared in front of them was only a red-faced man, this big man had just pulled out two corpses from the ruins, one of them was a woman, the big man held the corpse on his shoulder, and the other was a child, at this moment, this small corpse was carried by the red-faced big man in his hand, like a doll!
Huang Haoran bit his lip desperately until he was bleeding, and then numb......
************************************************
Huang Haoran's inference is not wrong! Matsui Ishine wrote this untimely "Surrender Advice" to boost the morale of the Central China Front, and Matsui Ishine wanted to make a gesture to tell his subordinates that the Central China Front still had the upper hand, and the final victory would definitely belong to them!
Matsui Ishone's wording of the "Surrender Advice" was carefully considered, and this "Surrender Advice" was intended not only for the Chinese, but also for the emperor, and Matsui felt that this was a way for him to express his determination.
Matsui Ishine is now sitting in his headquarters looking forward to the arrival of noon, his chief of staff, Major General Mamoru Iinuma, thinks that Huang Haoran will not pay attention to this "Surrender Advice", but Matsui Shigen does not think so, he feels that Huang Haoran is a very proud person like him, and a proud person must not tolerate such a provocation! Huang Haoran will definitely give his answer!
Matsui Ishine secretly gave an order to Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshika, commander of the 9th Division, that if the Chinese officer who appeared at noon on the Zhongshan Road Jurong Road at noon on December 11 was Huang Haoran, he must be killed without hesitation! For the victory of the Central China Front, Huang Haoran cannot be allowed to return to Nanjing alive!
If the person who came was not Huang Haoran, then the Chinese would lose in momentum! Matsui Ishine will tell the world through Japanese newspapers that the hero of the Chinese is nothing but a coward who does not even dare to show his face!
It's a great strategy to kill two birds with one stone! Regardless of whether Huang Haoran appears or not, the Central China Front will achieve great benefits!!
This is the hanging rope that Matsui Shigen gave to Huang Haoran!
Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran! You've got to take it!
"Your Excellency Commander, you should also leave for Jurong, if Huang Haoran appears and you don't appear, then the face of the imperial army will be lost! Lu Xiang made it very clear in the telegram that this time, the honor of the army must be maintained! ”
The person who interrupted Matsui Ishone's train of thought was his chief of staff, Major General Iinuma Mamoru, damn Sugiyama Yuan, this guy always has to intervene, Matsui Ishone can't say his plan to take this opportunity to snipe Huang Haoran now, he knows Sugiyama Yuan too well, if he knows that the Central China Front will take such unscrupulous means to plot against Huang Haoran, Sugiyama Yuan will definitely stop it!
War is war, what form do you need to talk about? Matsui Shigen is now thinking about how to kill Huang Haoran, and he can't care about the rest!
If there must be someone responsible for this matter, Matsui Ishine hopes that this person is himself, as long as he kills Huang Haoran, the Chinese will lose courage, what is he Matsui Ishine? There are many generals like him in Japan! And there is only one Huang Haoran in China!
When it was almost dawn, Matsui Ishone climbed onto the plane to Jurong, and the plane he was on was only escorted by two fighter jets, and the reason why the Japanese Air Force was so confident was based on the fact that the Chinese Air Force had been destroyed!
In the sky of East China, there is no longer an eagle in China, and now there is only a blood-red sun flag!
***************************************************
"Nope! It's a crazy idea! What if the Japanese shoot? I'm not going to this feast! , where is the credit of the Japanese to talk about! I resolutely refuse to agree! ”
In the basement of Tang Shengzhi's mansion, a fierce debate was unfolding, and Huang Haoran believed that since the Japanese side planned to let Matsui Shigen, the commander of the Central China Front, attend this meeting, then there should also be an equal task in Nanjing, and Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, was naturally very suitable!
However, Tang Shengzhi did not think so, he insisted that Huang Haoran was the highest military commander of the Nanjing garrison, and it was most appropriate for Huang Haoran to go.
"Commander Tang! , The Japanese are a legitimate commander, I, Huang Haoran, am just a deputy commander, I am really not suitable to come forward, and now there is no more important figure in Nanjing City, Commander Tang, if you don't come out again, we will have to show weakness! ”
Huang Haoran's words were like steel needles piercing Tang Shengzhi was restless, Tang Shengzhi felt that Huang Haoran was asking him to negotiate, this was simply to send him to death! The reason why Tang Shengzhi volunteered to stay in Nanjing was to gamble that a little devil would not attack Nanjing, in order to make a rich future
When the Japanese issued a declaration to march into Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi had the intention of retreating, but fortunately, the highest authorities let Huang Haoran take on Nanjing's military affairs with all his might, as the so-called not in his position and not seeking his own politics, Tang Shengzhi was also happy to show off in front of reporters, talking big, when he was his empty commander, and now suddenly talked about asking him to risk his life, of course Tang Shengzhi was unwilling!
Huang Haoran smiled and continued to persuade Tang Shengzhi to meet with Matsui Shigen, he would not let Tang Shengzhi do nothing and enjoy his success, he wanted credit, right? Then you're up for it! There is no such thing as unearned gain!
Fan Jie analyzed Matsui Shigen's intentions to Huang Haoran, he thought that the devil seemed to be setting a trap, the purpose was to lure Huang Haoran to appear, what kind of answer the Nanjing garrison would give Matsui Shigen didn't need to think about at all, it was impossible for Huang Haoran to lay down his arms and surrender, so why did Matsui Shigen ask such a meaningless question? Moreover, he asked the representative of the Nanjing garrison to come forward to answer, and the answer could only be that Matsui Shigen's drunkard did not mean to drink!
The fall of Nanking was a matter of time, so what did the Japanese want most besides the city? Fan Jie and Huang Haoran thought about it and agreed that it could only be Huang Haoran's head, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the Japanese attitude towards Huang Haoran with hatred, Matsui Shigen has suffered defeats under Huang Haoran one after another, maybe this old devil will really make a desperate bet, come to exchange his life for his life, Huang Haoran is still young, and it is really a loss to die with Matsui Shigen, an old thing.
So Huang Haoran and Fan Jie thought of Tang Shengzhi at the same time, the titular commander of the Nanjing garrison has not made any decent contributions so far, and Tang Shengzhi is not young, and he will not suffer a loss if he dies with Matsui Shigen.
So Huang Haoran drove to Tang Shengzhi's house and began to drive ducks to the shelves.
This night was too long for Tang Shengzhi......
