6.121 Tragedy
Xiao Zhuge who had already closed his eyes opened his eyes again, he didn't expect that this drama could have a follow-up, looking at the supreme authorities whose faces were a little blue, Xiao Zhuge now has the interest to watch the play.
"Enough! If you make a mistake, fix it! You are a man with soldiers, what kind of system do you become in a panic! Calm down! Do you want me to teach you?! β
There is a clear difference in tone between these words of the highest authority and the few sentences just now, Gu Mosan also knows that the highest authority is angry, but what he wants to say is too urgent, and the highest authority seems to have not received the news yet.
"Yes! Thank you for your instructions! Mo San must control his temperament a lot, this information is really important, are you ......?"
Gu Mosan's admission of his mistake made the face of the highest authority soothe a little, and then he heard Gu Mosan mention the information that made him late, the highest authority knew about Gu Mosan, it seemed that something really happened, and Gu Mosan did not make up a reason for himself.
"Today is a combat meeting, and all the people who come are high-ranking people in the army, there is nothing to hide, Mo San, if you have something to say, ......"
These words of the highest authorities were addressed to Xiao Zhuge because he was the only one present who was a member of the "Gui Department", and Gu Mosan's hesitation was mostly because of Xiao Zhuge , the highest authorities had to appease Xiao Zhuge for a while, now is a difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, and such a huge force as the "Gui Department" cannot be allowed to wander outside the control of the government.
Xiao Zhuge immediately realized the intentions of the highest authorities, although he looked down on the bald head full of false teeth in front of him, but now it is the tide of the national war of resistance, and if he wants to keep a distance from the government, it will become treason in the eyes of the people.....
Therefore, Xiao Zhuge could only smile and nod to show that he did not take Gu Mosan's words to heart, and the highest authority also nodded, but his smile was more perfunctory than Xiao Zhuge .
The generals in the venue were accustomed to this kind of little game between the highest authorities and the "Gui faction", and the generals of the central department all chose the same way of dealing with it, that is, pretending not to see it.
The most anxious person in the venue at the moment was Gu Mosan, he really had something important to report, but he didn't want to say it so directly, so Gu Mosan cast a look of help to Jiang Baili and Chen Cixiu.
Jiang Baili looked at Xiao Zhuge and then at the highest authority. Looking at the generals pretending to be wood in the venue, Chen Cixiu was also doing the same thing as Jiang Baili.
Just when Jiang Baili and Chen Cixiu were figuring out how to speak for Gu Mosan, a small door in the conference room was opened, and a black tunic with a serious expression came in and handed a folder to Qian Dajun's hand, seeing the word "special urgency" on the cover, Qian Dajun didn't dare to slack off, he walked to the side of the highest authority, bent down and put the folder in the hand of the highest authority.
Gu Mosan's eyes lit up! The documents sent at this time were sent in such a hurry, and what was mentioned in them should be what I wanted to say.
Gu Mosan's reaction was seen by the highest authority, and he realized that what Gu Mosan was going to say should be related to the document that Qian Dajun had just sent, so the highest authority picked up the blue folder and opened it, and suddenly, the expression of the highest authority froze!
Jiang Baili, Chen Cixiu, and Xiao Zhuge all focused their eyes on the supreme authority, and they had already understood that Gu Mosan's abnormality was closely related to the folder that the supreme authority had just opened.
"The commission is in person:
Jinan has been lost! Han Fuyu abandoned Jinan, the capital of Shandong, without firing a shot, and the Third Army withdrew to Tai'an to report the situation, which was no longer helpful...... Poor city Jinan! Pity the people of Shandong! Han Fuyu should be killed!
Commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations
The highest authorities are like lightning strikes at this moment! Jinan is just lost? Didn't Chief Li just meet Han Fuyu? Didn't you say that Han Fuyu's war was still relatively firm? In the morning, the highest authorities also sent a telegram to Han Fuyu, telling Han Fuyu to guard the Yellow River and never give up Jinan.
Jinan has been lost, such news is something that cannot be concealed, the highest authorities did not make all the contents of this telegram public, he only said that Jinan had fallen, although he had already murderous intentions towards Han Fuyu in his heart, but the highest authorities did not want to show it now.
After all, the Third Army has tens of thousands of horses, if Han Fuyu is forced to be in a hurry, maybe he can run to the Japanese, before Han Fuyu gives up Jinan, the highest authorities will not think so, now, what Han Fuyu can do, the highest authorities are really not sure!
The news of the fall of Jinan exploded like a bombshell in the conference room! No one thought that Jinan would lose it so quickly! Didn't the Japanese army attack the city yesterday yet? I heard that Jinan was bombed and shelled, and Han Fuyu's Third Army couldn't hold out for even a few hours?
You must know that the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army has been fighting with the 101st Division in Wuhu for several days and has not retreated, is it better for the Third Army that Han Fuyu has raised for many years to wear straw sandals and hold a single Sichuan Army?
There must be something famous in this! Thinking of Gu Mosan's actions before, most of the generals began to seek answers from Gu Mosan.
Gu Mosan saw that the highest authorities deliberately concealed the part of Han Fuyu's initiative to give up Jinan, and he repeated it several times according to the words of the highest authority, such an answer was obviously difficult to satisfy his colleagues, and gradually, all kinds of speculations began to appear.
Seeing that the venue had a tendency to become a vegetable market, the supreme authorities were even more unhappy to the extreme, he knocked on the table with the lid of a teacup, and the generals saw that the supreme authorities' faces were pale, and they all quieted down, and Jiang Baili opened his mouth at this time:
"The seat, Jinan has been lost, the gateway of Jinpu Road is open to the Japanese army, and Tai'an is absolutely lost! It is better to let the Third Army base itself in Tai'an and counterattack Jinan, the main force of the devil should not cross the Yellow River soon, as long as Han Xiangfang fights resolutely, he should have a chance! β
Jiang Baili's judgment is very suitable for the current situation in the Fifth War Zone, the highest authorities thought about it carefully, except for according to Jiang Baili's statement, there is really no good way, so he immediately ordered Qian Dajun to prepare a telegram, asking the Third Army to counterattack Jinan, the highest authority of the Fifth War Theater Commander's Department also sent a telegram, asking Chief Li to mobilize troops to fill the loopholes, now is the weakest time in the Fifth War Zone, if the devils are allowed to quickly advance and attack Nanjing, then Huang Haoran's Nanjing garrison will be bad!
Thinking of this, the highest authorities said to Jiang Baili and Chen Cixiu: "Jinan may not be able to get it back, Li Delin doesn't have many troops in his hands, Nanjing, you need to plan early, Baili, you and Cixiu make a plan to come out, and then send it to me!" Mo San, you fly to Xuzhou and tell Li Delin that I will hand over all the troops withdrawn from Nanjing to him for command, and today's defense of Jingpu Road is the prelude to the defense of Wuhan! At the critical moment of national survival, please be careful! β
Jiang Baili, Chen Cixiu and Gu Mo said that they obeyed the order, although Jiang Baili had long expected that Han Fuyu would not hold on to Jinan, but he did not expect that Han Fuyu would actually solve the dilemma in Nanjing for Huang Haoran......
*************************************************
Chief Li left Jinan on the front foot, Han Fuyu convened a meeting of the director of the department and the division commander and above to order a retreat, some people said at the meeting that Jinan could not be lost, and Wuhan would not allow Jinan to be abandoned, Han Fuyu was annoyed when he heard these words, he took out a pistol and threw a bullet on the table, and shouted loudly: "Do you listen to Lao Tzu or listen to him Jiang Guangtou is me!" β
He Siyuan, director of the Department of Education, couldn't help but say something, he said: "I think that at the moment of the great enemy, we can't just think about preserving our own strength. Now it's an all-out war of resistance. The committee said that the people will resist the war, and all losses will be made up by the central government. There is no need to consider the future turf, and it should still be fought in Jinan. β
Han Fuyu sneered and said, "You are too naΓ―ve! Do you believe the words of the highest authorities? Who knows when he will compromise with Japan again? We are tens of thousands of people, and our family is shaken off, and if he suddenly makes an agreement with the Japanese, North China will definitely not have our share. He threw the capital Nanjing to a little guy like Huang Haoran, ran to Wuhan by himself, and now let us defend Jinan! Everyone has seen the power of the little ghost, and I Han Fuyu is not even a fart after running out of capital! Director He! Don't forget who gave you the money for your education! Nanjing, but I didn't give you half a son! β
He Siyuan heard Han Fuyu say this, so he could only swallow his opinion back, no way, who made Han Fuyu the master of the rice class in the education world?
After Han Fuyu took charge of Shandong, he quickly reorganized the provincial government and put forward four administrative plans: "clarifying the rule of officials," "fundamentally clearing the township," "strictly prohibiting narcotics," and "popularizing education." Zhang Shaotang, Li Shuchun, He Siyuan, and others were his main aides. During the seven years of Han Fuyu's reign in Lu, Shandong's education has made great progress. For education work, Han always let He Siyuan do it, and he never arranged a private person for the education sector, which was rare at that time. There is a consensus among the education community that they are largely funded by local governments in China. In Henan, Feng Yuxiang is relied on, and in Shandong, Han Fuyu is relied upon.
After Han Fuyu reprimanded He Siyuan, the officers in the Third Army immediately began to make loud noises for the retreat, and they shouted one after another: "Yes, don't be cannon fodder for Wuhan, chairman!" Let's go, don't listen to this! β
Han Fuyu saw that the retreat had the upper hand, and said happily, "With our people, we can stand on our own wherever we go, take Minsheng Bank, and eat and spend everywhere." Everyone, don't hesitate to go back and prepare! β
The people in the conference room immediately dispersed, Zhang Shaotang, Li Shuchun, and He Siyuan had their own thoughts, but they didn't speak again......
Before Han Fuyu withdrew from Jinan, under the banner of the "scorched earth war of resistance," he connived at the wanton burning and looting of officers and soldiers, and forcibly levied "national salvation donations" from various counties, stipulating that first-class counties should donate 200,000 yuan, second-class counties should donate 150,000 yuan, and third-class counties should donate 100,000 yuan. If they don't pay it within the time limit, they will ask the county magistrate, and the county magistrates will not dare to disobey, so they will extort from the people. The people complained bitterly.
Han Fuyu ordered his henchmen to load all the 15,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver in the Minsheng Bank and the vault into trucks overnight and transport them to Luoyang. From top to bottom, his officers and soldiers have become bandits. Before leaving, Han Fuyu ordered the burning of many important buildings. In an instant, thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky. The whole city of Jinan was chaotic and miserable.
After the Third Army retreated to Tai'an, Han Fuyu told Li Delin, commander of the Fifth Theater, the news of his abandonment of Jinan, and at noon, the highest authorities sent a telegram from Wuhan, asking Han Fuyu to "base himself in Tai'an and counterattack Jinan." After reading it, Han Fuyu snorted coldly and said, "Lao Tzu won't counterattack, see what you can do?" β
Later, he received a telegram from Li Delin: "Your unit must defend Tai'an." β
Han Fuyu replied: "Nanjing will be lost, why should Tai'an?" "Ignore Chief Lee's telegram as well.
After that, his Third Army continued to retreat, despite military orders. The Japanese army drove straight in, and tens of millions of people in Shandong fell into dire straits.
At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 27th, Huang Haoran in Nanjing received an order to retreat, after a whole day of fierce fighting, the situation in Nanjing further deteriorated, Zhongshan Gate fell in the evening, Gu Shoufu's 6th Division also captured Yuhuatai earlier, Zhonghua Gate, became the second Guanghua Gate, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division and He Daru's troops defended according to the city wall, the devil had the experience of capturing Guanghua Gate, and as soon as he came up, he used heavy artillery and explosives to blow up a section of the city wall, if He Daru didn't rush over with his troops to block the opening, Maybe the Zhonghua Gate will also fall.
The 99th Division in Baixia District was still fighting fiercely with the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and Yoshika Ryosuke's troops were still receiving reinforcements, and all Huang Haoran could do was hand over the last recruit corps to Shen Laoer.
The Japanese gunboats have appeared on the river in Nanjing, the river crossing route was forced to be interrupted, with the guidance of the Japanese ships, the bombing of the Japanese air force has become more and more accurate, the docks, the ships have become the priority targets of the devils, Huang Haoran ordered Wang Huanzhi to use the remaining ships to transport away a group of refugees and baggage troops, the second regiment of the military police left behind in Xiaguan was transferred to the international security zone, where there are still more than 100,000 people who have not left, they need the protection of the army.
Retreat is also a university question, the Nanjing garrison still has more than 100,000 troops left after many days of fierce fighting, and the number of the military is even more complicated to the extreme, Huang Haoran does not want his retreat order to let the hundreds of thousands of troops fall into chaos, the tragic scene of the Songhu retreat is still vivid, and now the Nanjing garrison is supported by the last blood and bravery, if this retreat order is not handled well, it will evolve into a big rout!
Finally reduced the number of civilians in Nanjing City to more than 100,000, Huang Haoran didn't want his Nanjing garrison to make up for the 300,000!
As soon as he thought of the number of 300,000, Huang Haoran's blood surged upward!
A soldier's destination is the battlefield! He did not allow his officers and soldiers to lay down their weapons and be cut off by the Japanese, and Huang Haoran hoped that his soldiers would all die well!
This evacuation must be an orderly mutual cover between the ministries and a slow retreat, which has the added advantage of taking more refugees along the way.
Every Chinese's life is precious, and Huang Haoran can't bear it!
These days, the people in the Political Department have been doing the work of the German Rabe, many refugees only believe in Rabe, if this old German man does not leave, they will not leave, Huang Haoran really wants to use force to drive these refugees away and save their lives, but now he really does not have the extra troops on hand to carry out this task, so he can only let people convince Rabe.
The current situation in Nanjing City determined that these hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians could only retreat from the west along the riverside to Wuhu, and the battle line of the Nanjing garrison army needed to move back slowly, Huang Haoran decided to concentrate his forces on the line from Zhongshan to Zhonghua Gate to continue to defend to the death, and then withdraw several local troops north of Zhongshan to the riverside to the back of the Central Army and then alternately cover the retreat, the main reason for this is to consider that the combat capability of the Central Army is relatively strong, and it is more certain to deal with the first wave of pursuit of the devils. If the local troops, who have already lost more than half of them, are allowed to cover the central army at the beginning, the generals of the local troops will definitely be emotional, and there will be internal divisions, and the next battle will not be easy to fight.
Zhongshan is the commanding heights of Nanjing, once the devil occupies here, then it is equivalent to condescending to control the entire city of Nanjing, Huang Haoran does not want his every move to reach the ears of Matsui Shigen, and the significance of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is also very special, and it must not be given up until the last moment, so the 87th Division has to continue to insist on the mountain, Shen Fazao's troops occupy a favorable location, and the fortifications of Zhongshan are quite complete, as long as the 66th Army is at the foot of Zhongshan to respond to the 87th Division, It's completely okay for Shen Fazao to be beaten for a few more days.
With the two fulcrums of Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan, plus the blocking fronts everywhere, the fall of Nanjing will be quite slow, and there will be enough time for this great retreat.
Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan have become the two places that Huang Haoran is most concerned about now.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Huang Haoran did not tell the commander of the troops below about the news of the fall of Jinan, but the Nanjing garrison was originally made up of troops from various hills temporarily, and the real masters of these troops were very worried that Huang Haoran would put his capital at the back as cannon fodder.
Soon a variety of voices emerged within the Nanjing garrison......
Luo Zhuoying did not forget Shen Fazao, he immediately sent a telegram to Shen Fazao after getting the news of the loss of Jinan from Chen Cixiu, he may have done this to repay Shen Fazao for pouring Huang Haoran with him in Nanjing, maybe he wanted to put a fire in the backyard of Huang Haoran's Nanjing Garrison, Luo Zhuoying's action made many people think about it, and no one knew what this fat man was doing this for.
After receiving Luo Zhuoying's telegram and looking at Huang Haoran's latest adjustment to Nanjing's defense, Shen Fazao felt that what Luo Zhuoying said should be true! The north of the Nanjing garrison has begun to shrink, and the troops on the eastern front are also retreating, Huang Haoran is about to withdraw from Wuhu to Jiangxi, Shen Fazao found that his 87th Division has become one of the few troops that have not moved, could it be that Huang Haoran carried out the retaliatory action that Shen Fazao had been most worried about at such a moment?
As soon as the second army in the north withdrew, the little devils would rush to Zhongshan like a tide, and the enemy would be attacked on the north, east, and south, and Shen Fazao felt that his nerves were about to break!
Run!
This thought suddenly popped up from Shen Fazao's mind...... (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.) )
