Chapter 293: Time in the Hospital
In the next few days, China and Japan fought desperately in the newspapers, arguing around Huang Haoran. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Japanese refused to admit that they had manipulated the newspapers published in Shanghai. The Chinese side, on the other hand, has no mercy and must grasp the sore feet of the Japanese.
At Dai Li's behest, the military commander sent a list of newspapers that were actually controlled by Japanese capital in the country. And more than a dozen pages are attached, which clearly explain the past and present life and the ins and outs of these newspapers. As soon as the list was published, it immediately triggered a wave of boycotts of Japanese-funded newspapers in China.
The sales of "News", "Wen Wei Po", "Far Eastern Times", and "Tongwen Wei Po" have plummeted day after day. The worst of them, the Far Eastern Times, now sells an average of less than 200 copies a day, and its customers are basically Japanese who understand Chinese. At this rate, I am afraid that it will soon be closed.
Seeing that the newspaper system, which had been operating in China for many years, was about to be uprooted, the embarrassed and angry Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials went directly to Prime Minister Konoe to complain and demanded that the Ministry of War severely punish Okamura Ninji, who had caused such a bad situation.
As things developed in this way, Okamura Ninji's order to transfer to Mongolia was probably issued sooner than Shunroku Hataketook expected......
On the battlefield, under the strict supervision of the highest authorities, the Chinese troops besieging the 27th Division continued to exert their strength. After paying the price of more than 7,000 casualties, Li Pinxian finally compressed Honma Masaharu again to the area before launching a decisive counterattack. This advance and retreat exhausted the last mobile forces of the 27th Division, and if it could not get reinforcements from the other side of Lake Longgan, the remaining time of the Honma Masaharu Division would not be more than a week.
But on the other two fronts outside the Jiangfang military defense area, Xiao Zhuge and Xue Yue have been unlucky. After Okamura Ninji resigned, General Shunroku Hata directly took over the command of the 11th Army. This experienced old devil shook Xue Yue and Xiao Zhuge lightly for the first time.
General Shunroku Hata completely ignored Masaharu Honma's 27th Division, which was besieged by the Chinese army, and threw the fresh troops of the two divisions that had just been transferred from Shanghai directly into Xiao Zhuge's Fifth Theater. Xiao Zhuge who was already overstretched in strength was forced by the 50,000 reinforcements of the devil, and the entire defense line was full of flaws. Lost several important cities and passes. In order not to let his Ninth Theater troops stand too prominently in the entire defense right, Xue Yue was forced to order a voluntary retreat.
With one win and two losses on the three battlefields, the prospect of the Battle of Wuhan is not optimistic......
Since Huang Haoran could not continue to perform his duties, the Wuhan government decided that Chen Cixiu, director of the General Political Department of the Military Commission, would take over as commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison Command. In Huang's view, this is not a good choice.
During the Battle of Songhu, Chen Cixiu served as the former enemy commander of the Third War Zone, and his tactics were too conservative and his performance was not outstanding. If Huang Haoran is transferred to the position of the highest authority, he will use Jiang Dingwen of the Xi'an camp, or Gu Zhutong and Wei Lihuang. Although these people may not be much better than Chen Cixiu, at least their spirit can be completely focused on combat.
Today's Chen Cixiu is no longer the instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy. Compared with the battlefield of war and gunpowder, Chen Cixiu prefers to fight in officialdom. He is best described as a politician in military uniform.
This time, the highest authorities can be said to have chosen the wrong general......
After retreating to Wuhan, Chen Cixiu was too busy. As the head of the Political Department, he not only has to serve as a staff officer and give advice to the highest authorities, but also has a long list of posts on him, such as chairman of the Hubei Provincial Committee, member of the Aviation Committee, chairman of the Central Training Commission, secretary general of the Central Youth League Department of the Three People's Youth League, and director of education of the Central Training Corps. After Huang Haoran fell silent due to his injuries, some people in the Wuhan government have already called Chen Cixiu "a stand-in for the highest authorities" and "the second person".
This ability to steer the rudder in the wind is really fast enough......
As more and more such mistakes are made, the scales on the battlefield in Wuhan will eventually tip in favor of the Japanese, and the most rigid authorities will usher in a new defeat.
And Huang Haoran could only watch all this happen quietly, and there was nothing he could do. Because his biggest enemies in front of him are the doctors and nurses of the East Lake Liao Nursing Home.
Because he was worried about the battle ahead, Huang Haoran asked Xu Xinghua to contact the commander of the Tianjiazhen fortress by telegram every day. Although Chen Cixiu has already announced his assumption of office, in reality, it will take quite some time for the handover of command to take place. At present, the Tianjiazhen Fortress Headquarters is still in the hands of Wang Huanzhi.
According to Huang Haoran's previous orders, the troops directly under the 25th Army have begun to retreat to the rear. There are also supplementary regiments and new barracks composed of personnel detained from the front-line combat units, which have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Fan Jie and Wang Huanzhi moved very quickly, and in just a few days, they had already withdrawn 20,000 or 30,000 horses. In the telegram sent to the military council, these were casualty figures.
In the eyes of the Chinese, the work of forgetting sleep and food is an excellent quality. But in the eyes of American medical staff, such crazy behavior is absolutely out of place for a recovering sick person.
With the intervention of Dean Smith, Xu Xinghua's time to report to Huang Haoran was greatly reduced. In order to prevent the treatment plan from being affected, Paul had Merry and several young American nurses start staging people urgently. Except during outdoor activities, it is completely forbidden for outsiders to visit Wong. Xu Xinghua felt that these regulations of the Americans were aimed at him alone. It seems that he has been regarded by the Americans as the biggest threat to Huang Haoran's recovery.
Because he had already learned from Platoon Commander Wang that Mai Rui was the benefactor of the rescue commander. So Xu Xinghua has no choice but to keep smiling with this American girl. Who knew that this American girl was very shrewd, and almost immediately figured out the key inside. When she saw Xu Xinghua again, her nose was almost up to the ceiling, and she didn't even give any face.
Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and American women are also women, all the same!
can't do it, and can't scold, Xu Xinghua can only slander in his heart, and he has to continue to plead......
"Nurse Merry, let me meet the general~ I really have something important......"
“no……! Composed... You are now listed as an undesirable person, the patient needs to rest, and if you continue to harass the patient like this, the recovery time will be prolonged, and it will be very bad for the patient's health in the future......"
Xu Xinghua was blocked and could only stand up, he would rather face 100 Japanese devils than these blonde American Persian cats. The tall and big people don't look delicate at all, no wonder the commander calls them "Yanmar" behind his back.
"After lunch, I think the general will be allowed to rest in the courtyard, right?"
It seems that only when the medical staff are allowed to communicate with Huang Haoran to report the military situation, seeing that Nurse Mai Rui is invulnerable, Xu Xinghua can only take the initiative to take a step back.
"It's long overdue, isn't it? The hospital has the rules of the hospital! The lunch break is 45 minutes, so you'd better condense your speech into ......" (to be continued.) )
