6.88 Weakness

"General Huang, you are too polite, I think you are a little different from other Chinese generals! Hopefully this time I can get something out of it......"

Rabe was not happy that Huang Haoran thanked him, because at this moment, outside the window of Wang Huanzhi's office, a large group of refugees on the dock were queuing up to board the boat, the soldiers maintaining order were waving the butts of their guns and shouting loudly, and the sounds of beaten refugees begging for mercy and children crying were intertwined.

Rabe's hands trembled a little, although the General Huang on the other end of the phone was an Oriental with a humanitarian spirit, but these soldiers under his command were obviously not as civilized as General Huang, and in the face of the people they were supposed to defend with their lives, these soldiers were able to raise the butts and sticks of their guns, Rabe really found it difficult to understand such behavior.

Translator Han Xianglin spoke very fast on the phone, and finally met a general with a kind heart, and he must not return in vain! The more than 100,000 refugees on the docks finally have a place to go and don't need to go back to the safe zone. However, there are still more than 100,000 people left in the safe zone in the city, and those refugees who still did not choose to leave in the face of danger really believe in the international committee of the safe zone established by Mr. Rabe, and Han Xianglin feels that he should fight for something for international friends like Rabe to fight for his country's army.

For the refugees in the safe zone, Huang Haoran has his own plans, no matter how great Rabe is, he can't let the murderous Japanese army become an obedient pug, and the best way to avoid tragedy is to evacuate the refugees.

Because Huang Haoran has been selling a large number of ferry tickets in various ways, so now there are not many citizens left in Nanjing City, in order to avoid the bombing of the Japanese army, these civilians are almost concentrated in the international security zone, let these people leave Nanjing is what Huang Haoran must do now, even if Nanjing City finally falls into the hands of devils, Huang Haoran also hopes that it is just an empty city!

The remaining more than 100,000 refugees only listen to Rabe, and if they want to evacuate these people, they have to talk to Rabe about the conditions first!

"Mr. Rabe! Your request is very reasonable, and I can provide the materials! But I hope Mr. Rabe can do me a small favor! ”

Huang Haoran's words surprised both Han Xianglin and Rabe, but they didn't expect that there were still conditions attached to General Huang's assistance, and Han Xianglin couldn't help but despise Huang Haoran in his heart.

Such officials Rabe and Han Xianglin are not uncommon these days, this kind of person is pretending to donate some things to the refugees, and then bring a large group of reporters to the safe area to walk around a few laps to sell their reputation! Maybe this General Huang is idle because his military rank is not high enough, or his reputation is not good enough, so he will come to borrow the refugees in the safe zone as props to sing his praises.

Rabe and Han Xianglin had a quick conversation in German, and they decided to ask Huang Haoran what he needed Rabe to do with the military, if it wasn't too much, Rabe was willing to accept it, after all, getting supplies is the first important thing now, only real things can solve the problem of refugees in the safe zone, and the first thing for people to survive is that they must fill their stomachs!

Han Xianglin was angry in his heart, and when he spoke, he unconsciously revealed it, Huang Haoran did not blame this upright translator, at this time, the person who is willing to stand up and do things for others is already very remarkable, people like Han Xianglin are not too much to describe as a national treasure, Huang Haoran even hopes that there will be a few more Han Xianglin, but unfortunately, there is only one Han Xianglin in Nanjing City.

Huang Haoran put forward his request in a very clear voice, and his speed of speech was very slow, which was taking care of Han Xianglin, the translator.

"I hope that Mr. Rabe can mobilize the people in the security zone as much as possible to the docks to board the ship and leave Nanjing, the Japanese are already very close to the city, what they are doing in Songhu and North China, I believe Mr. Rabe should also have heard of it, Nanjing, now a city in danger, he only belongs to the Chinese soldiers! The common people should go to the rear! I, Huang Haoran, speak my word, and I will give as many people as I can bring in Mr. Rabe to the security zone! And it's not a one-time thing, it's available until I can't supply it! Mr. Translator, please translate immediately! ”

Han Xianglin never dreamed that Huang Haoran would make such a request, to be precise, this is not even a request, at most it can only be regarded as a request for Rabe's help, Han Xianglin, who was a little puzzled, subconsciously blurted out:

"Wouldn't all the refugees be gone? What do you need supplies without refugees? ”

Huang Haoran directly asked: "Isn't it a good thing that there are no refugees?" My Mr. Translator! ”

"That's right! That's right! It's a good thing! It's a good thing! I'll tell Mr. Rabe! After Huang Haoran's reminder, Han Xianglin finally reacted, that's right! What could be better than not having refugees? Han Xianglin also hopes that all the people in Nanjing City can escape, which is exactly what he and Rabe dream of!

After listening to Han Xianglin's translation, Rabe asked with a frown; "General Huang! Where are you going to evacuate these refugees? As you said, this war between your country and Japan is expanding! Where are these people going to retreat to stop? I hope this is not a new way for your government to come up with to pass the buck! Even after leaving Nanjing, these people need help! Otherwise, they will die too! ”

Rabe was worried about the motives of the Nanjing government, in his opinion, once these refugees left Nanjing, they were likely to fall into a predicament that no one cared about, and what Huang Haoran was doing now was not to want these refugees to fall into the hands of the Japanese or die in the city of Nanjing, to put it bluntly, it was a political show.

After listening to Rabe's words, Han Xianglin became excited again, he felt that he had just fallen for Huang Haoran! Han Xianglin added some of his subjective emotions when translating Rabe's words, and some of the places that Rabe used to tell more subtle words were all replaced by Han Xianglin's fierce words! Han Xianglin told Huang Haoran that he and Rabe had heard enough of the lies of the Nanjing government and military personnel!

Huang Haoran listened quietly to Han Xianglin's words, and Huang Haoran felt completely understandable about Rabe's worries, before he met him, this old German man must have been rejected and used by many Nanjing officials, and now Rabe has a strong sense of distrust of the Nanjing government and military.

"Mr. Rabe! I know you're worried... Please rest assured, the abandonment of refugees will never happen, some of these boats on the river will go directly to Wuhan and Jiujiang, and some will go to Pukou on the north bank, and the refugees who go ashore in Pukou will get a five-day ration, which is enough to get them to the next place to stay, if Mr. Rabe does not believe it, you can follow the boat to cross the river, seeing is believing, I think this will be more convincing! ”

The sincerity revealed in Huang Haoran's words made Rabe retract his suspicions, since this General Huang dared to let Rabe cross the river to check at will, it also shows that the refugees in Pukou should really have received rations provided by the military, Rabe expressed his apologies to Huang Haoran on the phone, and at the same time he also raised the question in his heart:

"General Huang! Why don't you make more use of these boats on the river to send all the refugees out of Nanjing? I guess 48 hours is enough! This way the safe zone will not have to divert valuable supplies from the army, which will also benefit your war! ”

Huang Haoran asked Rabe what was the difference between Nanjing tonight and the past? Rabe thought for a while and then replied that Huang Haoran was extraordinarily quiet in Nanjing tonight, and there seemed to be no bombing by Japanese planes. Huang Haoran told Rabe that this short period of calm was bought by the soldiers of the Nanjing Garrison with blood, and every minute and second was very precious!

There are still a few hours before dawn, and the military can only transport out about 100,000 people at most, so Rabe's movement must be fast, and only the first batch of refugees who arrive at the dock will have a chance to leave Nanjing! As to whether there will be a second such quiet night, the question is only to ask God!

After the call ended, under Wang Huanzhi's arrangement, Rabe and his translator Han Xianglin boarded a wooden boat full of refugees and sailed to Pukou, where there was everything Rabe wanted to confirm!

Rabe finally asked Huang Haoran one thing, he felt that Huang Haoran did not look like an Oriental, Rabe insisted that Huang Haoran had studied in the West, because Huang Haoran's thoughts were full of Western colors.

Huang Haoran answered Rabe's question in English:

"Mr. Rabe! Maybe this country is not civilized enough in your eyes, but please believe it! China will become rich and powerful, and it will be more than you can imagine! Chinese Eastern wisdom is not inferior to Western civilization, it's just that these things have been forgotten for too long......"

At three o'clock in the morning on December 20, Rabe pulled Han Xianglin and rushed into the Nanjing International Security Zone like crazy, from Rabe's movements, it was completely impossible to see that he was an old man in his 50s, this old German man carried a loudspeaker along every street in the security zone and shouted:

"Go to Shimonoseki! There are boats there! I can send you across the river! The army will also issue rations! Trust your General Huang! He is a true Oriental gentleman! ”

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

In order to figure out Huang Haoran's "trick", Matsui Shigen even ordered the air force to dispatch reconnaissance planes at night to conduct reconnaissance with flares, but the news sent back by the pilot also made Matsui Shigen feel extremely frustrated!

The Chinese defenders on three sides of the city of Nanjing were exchanging fire with the Japanese army, and the bullets shuttling in the night sky formed a beautiful ribbon of light, and the reconnaissance planes could not even distinguish the staggered battle lines of the Chinese and Japanese sides! Not to mention the insight into the military purpose of the Nanjing garrison!

On the side of the sand table of the headquarters, more than a dozen senior staff officers of the Japanese army have already quarreled! After hundreds of deductions, these staff officers also have hundreds of ideas about Huang Haoran in their minds, some say that Huang Haoran is attacking the west, and some say that Huang Haoran is going to break through and leave, and the most outrageous thing is that a staff officer named Zaoji Nu Nakazuo actually said that the purpose of Huang Haoran's big move was to surprise the temporary headquarters of Matsui Shigen! Matsui Ishine really wants to throw this female middle sa into the trenches on the front line to be shot! How could the military academies of the empire produce such waste?

The Nanjing garrison's sortie on all fronts had already begun for several hours, and the offensive momentum of the Chinese army not only did not weaken, but also tended to get stronger and stronger! Units of the Nanjing garrison appeared on the fronts and flanks of the 6th, 9th, 3rd, 16th, and 18th divisions! Especially Gu Shoufu's 6th Division, the Chinese army that appeared near the 6th Division alone has four or five division-level numbers, Matsui Ishine thought that Gu Shoufu was Huang Haoran's new target at first, but after ordering the 6th Division to shrink its defense for more than an hour, Matsui Shigen not only did not wait for the Nanjing Garrison's overwhelming counterattack, but waited for the 16th Division's emergency telegram!

The 99th Division in the east of Nanjing seems to have gone berserk! In the telegram to Matsui Ishone, Nakajima Imago firmly believed that Huang Haoran's Nanjing Garrison was coming at his 16th Division, and the evidence was that Huang Haoran's ace 99th Division had used a completely fatal way to play, which could make Huang Haoran so bloody, and the eastern part of the city was not the focus of the Nanjing Garrison's attack or what?

Nakajima is a fan of the authorities, but Matsui Ishine is very sober, is the appearance of the 99th Division a sign that Huang Haoran wants to start? Then how to explain the 114th Division in Lishui? The Nanjing Garrison, which appeared near the 6th Division, was no weaker than the 99th Division that Nakajima was now facing in terms of overall strength! Does Huang Haoran want to play a two-pronged game?

No! No way! To attack five Japanese divisions at the same time and try to annihilate two of them, Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison did not have such strength! Even in the Songhu battlefield, the Chinese army, which was twice as strong as the Japanese army, did not dare to launch a war of annihilation against the division-sized Japanese army at two points at the same time, and the capital in Huang Haoran's hands was far less than the highest authority on the Songhu battlefield, and he wanted to swallow the 16th and 6th divisions at the same time, unless Huang Haoran went crazy!

What exactly does Huang Haoran want to do??

From the perspective of the situation, the riverside corridor southwest of Nanjing City is an area heavily guarded by Huang Haoran, and the 139th Division, the Teaching Corps, and the 71st Army are all arranged in this area, and Gu Shoufu's 6th Division is the most peripheral unit of the Left Route Army of the Central China Front, as long as the connection between the 6th Division and the 18th Division is cut off, it is not impossible to fight a war of annihilation, and the location of Gu Shoufu can be regarded as a salient part of the Central China Front. According to Huang Haoran's temper, such an opportunity should not be missed.

In fact, the chief of staff of Tsukada Attack and Matsui Ishine hope that Huang Haoran will attack this place the most, the 6th Division can be regarded as the strongest combat force in the Central China Front, Gu Shoufu is not Suematsu Shigeru, and he will never be easily defeated by Huang Haoran, so that the Central China Front will have a chance to counter-encircle! And in this area, Huang Haoran may use the number of the Chinese troops to encircle and suppress the 6th Division, which is also very attractive to Matsui Shigen, the 99th Army, the Teaching Corps, and the 71st Army, these are all trophies that he has always hoped to obtain!

Now that the situation in the vicinity of the 6th Division has become clear, it is impossible for Huang Haoran to attack Tani Shofu's troops at the risk of being surrounded by the Japanese army and losing the riverside passage, and the chief of staff of Tsukada Tsukashi personally overturned his own inference, indeed, if Huang Haoran could not think of it as much as Matsui Shigen could think of, then the heavy losses of the imperial army in East China would not be easy to explain......

Since Huang Haoran's target is not the 6th Division, could it be the 16th Division of Nakajima Imago? Chief of Staff of Tsukada Attack once again thought of Matsui Shigen, although Huang Haoran's troops in the east of the city are not as elite as those in the west of the city, but they also have the size of three armies and three divisions, in addition to the fact that the weapons are not as good as the Central Army, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese miscellaneous army is not much worse than that of the Central Army, not to mention that the 99th Division is still sitting there, it is completely possible to say that Huang Haoran has any thoughts about the 16th Division!

The permanent fortifications near the city of Nanjing have been broken by more than a third of the Central China Front, but the defense system in the east of the city has been almost completely preserved, even if the Nanjing garrison cannot take the 16th division, they only need to retreat to the strong fortifications to hold on. Approaching, retreating, defending, such a favorable situation, Huang Haoran will definitely not turn a blind eye!

Chief of Staff Tsukada drew a map for a long time and came up with his new inference, in which he believed that Huang Haoran would take advantage of the geographical advantage of the eastern part of the city to attack Nakajima's 16th Division, which was also the opinion of most of the staff officers in the headquarters.

Matsui Ishine walked to the sand table and carefully looked at the position of the 16th Division and the surrounding landforms, and then shook his head and rejected the speculation of the chief of staff of Tsukada's attack.

Chief of Staff Tsukada was a little anxious, and he said eagerly:

"Your Excellency, Commander! Judging from the current situation, the east of the city is the most likely place for Huang Haoran to make a move! Why did His Excellency the Commander feel that the focus of the Nanjing garrison was not on the eastern part of the city? Please advise! ”

Matsui Ishine knocked on Zhongshan in the east of Nanjing with his command rod, and he said to the chief of staff of Tsukada's attack: "That's it!" Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum! Sun Wen's name Tsukada-kun must be familiar to him, right? If Huang Haoran was concentrating his forces in the east of the city to besiege the 16th Division with all his might, what would he use to guard Ma Qun and Zhongshan? Sun Wen is the former prime minister of the Nanjing government, and if he lost the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Huang Haoran is afraid that he will face a storm even if he holds Nanjing! I don't think any Chinese general would dare to let Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum fall under the fire of the imperial army, and Huang Haoran is no exception! ”

"So what do we do? You can't be beaten so passively, right? Tokyo is already very dissatisfied with our progress, and if it is just stalled under the attack of the Nanking garrison, I am afraid it will ......"

Although Chief of Staff Tsukada felt that Matsui Ishone's inference was very reasonable, thinking of the pressure that the Central China Front was now facing, Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukada's words revealed concern.

Matsui Ishine turned around and glanced at the staff officers who were still arguing, and then whispered to Chief of Staff Tsukada, "Tsukada-kun! I'm afraid that if I continue to quarrel like this, there will be no result until dawn, so I thought of a way! Since we can't tell what Huang Haoran is going to do, let's just attack too! Right from here! ”

Matsui Shigen's command rod fell heavily on the map of the high-rise gate and the Tang family camp line, behind this line of defense is Nanjing's Guanghua Gate, Matsui Shigen is planning to attack against attack! forced Huang Haoran to return to the army to rescue, if Huang Haoran lost Guanghua Gate, then Matsui Shigen would directly enter Nanjing! This hand of the Central China Front, Huang Haoran must parry!

"Sao Belt Four! Mixi! This is what the Chinese say about encircling Wei to save Zhao! Matsui-kun! You're a genius! ”

Tsukada Tsukasa's ass was just right, and Matsui Ishone, who had been depressed for most of the night, finally showed a lewd smile!

Huang Haoran in Nanjing City is in trouble!

Matsui Shigen's knife directly hit Huang Haoran's soft underbelly......

By 7 a.m. on December 20, more than 150,000 Nanjing citizens had boarded the ship from various wharves along the river in Xiaguan and along the river!
