6.8 You sing and I appear

When Zhang Guili was taught a lesson by his major general, Huang Haoran's motorcade was speeding on the highway leading to Lukou, and the terrain of Nanjing was really not conducive to defense, although there were several mountains on the periphery, they all lacked height, and they could not be connected to each other, and these "points" were difficult to connect into a "line" and could not form a barrier for Nanjing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Take Lukou as an example, there are Litang Mountain, Laohu Mountain, Ting Mountain, Tuan Mountain, Jinshan, Shangyi Mountain and Mantou Mountain around, enclosing the entire Lukou in the middle, but between these hills are wide plains, if the troops are dispersed to garrison these hills, the Japanese army can completely go around the mountains from the plains, and then let the follow-up troops divide and surround the Chinese troops on these mountains, gather and annihilate them.

This is Nanjing's natural disadvantage, and it is also one of the reasons why Nanjing is known as a Jedi of soldiers.

Huang Haoran felt that the troops at hand could not fill these holes, and the setting of Nanjing's defensive positions was really a headache, otherwise no one would be willing to be the commander of Nanjing's urban defense.

Because Tang Shengzhi didn't care about military operations, he kept bragging and farting in front of reporters, emphasizing over and over again the spirit of coexistence with Nanjing City, Huang Haoran didn't bother to pay attention to this mediocre man, he was going to hold his first city defense operations meeting at the city defense commander this afternoon, and before the meeting, Huang Haoran wanted to go to the field to see the terrain around Nanjing.

As a result, after watching it for a long time, I still don't have a clue......

The Wufu line is already precarious, and the Xicheng line can't have too much hope, and the troops on the front line have long been beaten by Matsui Shigen, and if it weren't for the supreme authorities' repeated holy decrees of "killing heads", these people would have collapsed for thousands of miles.

The Jiangyin fortress was also attacked by the Japanese army and navy today, and Nanjing, which will soon be roasted on the stove!

"Staff Officer Zhao, do you have any special dishes in Jiangning?"

Huang Haoran's thoughts jumped a little, and ordinary people really couldn't keep up.

Huang Haoran was received in Lukou is a colonel staff officer, surnamed Zhao, originally Lukou was a quiet town, but now it is a large number of soldiers, and the nearby public security has also begun to be affected, the garrison headquarters is worried that something will go wrong, so it set up a command in Lukou, Staff Officer Zhao is the deputy of the headquarters, Huang Haoran did not notify before he came, the most senior officer left in the command is Staff Officer Zhao, he had to accompany Huang Haoran around.

Now that he suddenly heard such a question, Staff Officer Zhao didn't react at once.

"What...? Oh! Oh! Yes, yes! The old goose in Dongshan, as well as the big bone pot choi, are all authentic local vegetables in Jiangning, and it is not too early at this time, Commander Huang, his subordinates will arrange lunch! ”

"Staff Officer Zhao is going to take us to that restaurant? By the way, does he have a lot of cooks? ”

Staff Officer Zhao thought that Huang Haoran was reluctant to go to the shop, so he hurriedly explained with a smile:

"Commander Huang, this is one of the oldest shops in Jiangning Town, a three-story building, and there are more than 20 private rooms alone, cooks, naturally there are many and good!"

"Can you cope with the food of eight or nine hundred people?"

Eight...... Eight or nine hundred!

Staff Officer Zhao was scared half to death! This Commander Huang won't be here to eat big food, right?

"It's... This one...... Xia Guan doesn't know if his family can go next, Commander Huang, why don't we take a trip, let me ask for you? ”

Huang Haoran smiled and said, "It's okay! Let's go to that store! ”

Shanghai, the headquarters of the Central China Front

The chief of staff, Major General Tsukada Tsuki, looked at the commander General Matsui Ishine, who was meditating on the side of the map, and he clenched the battle report in his hand tightly.

As of today, the Chinese army on the Wufu line is still resisting, although the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the 10th Army are now making progress every day, but the result that General Matsui Ishine expects is not like this!

Before the troops arrived at the city of Nanjing, the more time consumed, the stronger the will of the Nanjing government to resist, and the greater the losses of the Central China Front!

Yesterday, General Matsui Ishine asked Major General Tsukada to send a reminder telegram to the 16th Division and the 3rd Division in Changshu, and the wording was already very harsh, but the 16th Division and the 3rd Division attacked from dawn to the present, and the result was still in a fierce battle!

Chief of Staff Tsukada didn't know how to report to Matsui Ishone, so he could only stand quietly in place.

The keen Matsui Ishine still sensed the existence of Tsukada Takeshi's chief of staff, and he didn't look back, speaking in a somewhat deep voice:

"Chief of Staff Tsukada, is the battle report of the 16th Division and the 3rd Division here?"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! ”

"Take it!"

"Commander, don't look at it... There was no progress, but Fujita said that the Guangxi army in Changshu had begun to show signs of defeat, and the breakthrough of the 3rd and 16th Divisions should be in these two days! ”

The words of the chief of staff of the Tsukada attack made Matsui Ishine become silent, Changshu is like a bone, so that the Central China Front can't swallow it, spit it out and can't spit it out, the Wufu line can't be completely broken, even if the navy conquers the Jiangyin fortress, what's the point? Did you really have to rely on the thousands of landed marines to attack Nanjing?

He, Matsui Ishone, hasn't gone crazy yet!

Moreover, the marines are now in a lot of trouble in the Jiangyin fortress, and the Japanese navy's naval guns can still have some advantages when firing at the fortress guns, but the marines who are under-armed are not so lucky, and in the face of the firepower of the Chinese army and the fortress, the commander Major General Tanimoto is already complaining!

If the army does not advance quickly to Jiangyin, perhaps, the marines who go ashore in Jiangyin will encounter the same fate as the Shanghai marines, and now the Chinese have not yet woken up from the rout, but once the commander of the Chinese army calms down, he will find that the marines of more than 2,000 people are simply pie falling from the sky!

How can such a situation not make Matsui Ishine anxious? He became more and more strict with all units of the Central China Dispatch Army, and almost did not give the commanders of each division a time limit and the distance to advance every day.

There are also voices of dissatisfaction with Matsui Ishine in Japan, and Prince Hatohiko, the official of the Asahika, set off from Tokyo for Shanghai today, which is not good news for Matsui Ishine!

You must know that the Japanese government actually has no plan to attack Nanjing, and the cabinet and military department are ready to let the Japanese army, which has experienced three months of hard fighting and huge losses, "return home in triumph".

On November 7, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters issued an order to the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army: "Sweep away the enemy near Shanghai, and pursue the front east of Suzhou and Jiaxing."

According to this order, the Central China Dispatch Army will stop in front of the Chinese defense line!

However, the fanatical officers refused to stop fighting, and the phenomenon of "going down and going up" that was peculiar to Japan reappeared.

On November 15, the Tenth Army convened an enlarged meeting of the corps in the presence of Commander Yanagawa, and the young officers with strong blood and strength put forward a crazy plan for the Tenth Army to attack and occupy Nanjing alone, and finally the meeting reached a resolution: "The whole army will dare to act arbitrarily and pursue in the direction of Nanjing with all its might." Someone asked how to solve the problem of replenishing food, grass and ammunition, and the fanatical officers actually replied: "If there is a shortage of food and grass, solve it on the spot, and if there is a shortage of ammunition, fight a white-knuckle war!" ”

Five days later, Lieutenant General Tada, deputy chief of staff of the Army General Staff Headquarters, was very surprised to receive information that the 10th Army had decided to march to Nanjing without authorization, and Vice Chief Tada immediately ordered the 10th Army to stop its advance, but it did not have any effect.

The Shanghai Dispatch Army led by Matsui Ishine saw that the 10th Army led by Yanagawa had begun to march towards Nanjing, and they began to change their goals and decided to march to Nanjing. The Shanghai Dispatch Army and the 10th Army began to rush to Nanjing, just as they were competing for the first place in the games.

In order to justify his actions, Matsui Ishine also sent a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Tada, which read: "In order to resolve the incident as soon as possible, I ask the military department for approval to march to Nanjing and occupy Nanjing." As a result, he was reprimanded by Vice Minister Tada!

But Matsui Ishone didn't stop because of this!

Seeing that the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army had completely turned into two wild horses, Vice Minister Tada and other "non-expansionist" figures decided to have the General Staff Headquarters form a resolution to stop the Central China Dispatch Army's attack on Nanjing, but the officers of the Shaozhuang faction in the General Staff Headquarters were also active supporters of the capture of Nanjing. Nanking! This left Tada in embarrassment.

No resolution was reached at the meeting, and Tada's opinion was put on hold for the time being.

At this critical time, Emperor Hirohito once again chose to stand by as he did before the Shanghai Incident, which undoubtedly meant to encourage the actions of the officers of the Shaozhuang faction, and the military department was now divided into two factions, and there was always a dispute, and for a while, the Shanghai Dispatch Army and the Tenth Army were in an environment where they were in charge of themselves!

If Matsui Ishine wants to achieve immortal feats in China, then he can only pick the heavy fruits of victory before the military department makes a noise!

In that case, all the opposition will obediently shut their mouths!

But now! The 10th Army and the Shanghai Dispatch Army were both tripped up in front of the Wufu Line, and the "non-expansion faction" such as Vice Chief Tada used this excuse to begin to gain the upper hand in the military headquarters.

Could it be that the Cabinet and the Emperor have begun to get impatient?

After losing the post of commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, it may be difficult to retain the post of commander of the Central China Dispatch Army!

Will East China become the Waterloo of his Matsui Shigen?

Thinking of this, Matsui Shigen couldn't help but say with some feelings:

"Chief of Staff Tsukada, perhaps, we should not have moved the headquarters from the warship to Shanghai......"

Chief of Staff Tsukada's heart was beating wildly when he heard this!

His Excellency, the Commander who has always been iron-blooded, has actually become superstitious? Now there are indeed rumors in the headquarters that since the headquarters went ashore, the Central China Front has not gone smoothly, but this is just some rumors! I didn't expect His Excellency the Commander to take it seriously!

Chief of Staff Tsukada is in a hurry, he can't let His Excellency the Commander go into such a misunderstanding!

Not only His Excellency the Commander, but also the generals of the Central China Dispatch Army have gambled on their futures this time!

It's a loss! Glory and glory!

There is no way back for a long time!

"Your Excellency, Commander! Don't let rumors cloud your emotions and judgment! Our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible! The 10th Army will soon break through! Nanjing is still in our bag! ”

Chief of Staff Tsukada put aside the restrictions of upper and lower ranks, and he was almost yelling at Matsui Ishone!

In fact, Matsui Ishine immediately realized that something was wrong after unconsciously saying the previous sentence, and now the words of Chief of Staff Tsukada made Matsui Ishine's mood fluctuate, Matsui Ishine stared at Changshu on the map, and suddenly pulled the map to the ground with force, and then roared hysterically:

"Tell Fujita Susumu and Nakajima Imago that they still have 24 hours left, and if they are still in front of the Wufu line after 24 hours, I will personally go and command their troops!"

Matsui Ishine chose a path to go black after a fierce exchange of ideas!

He needs constant victories now! Victory!

Only huge interests can tie Japan to the chariot of total annihilation of China!!

Chief of Staff Tsukada faithfully carried out the orders of his commander, His Excellency.

Encrypted telegrams were sent from the headquarters of the Central China Front, and the commanders of the Japanese divisions on the front line rushed to the front line with red eyes after reading the telegrams!

The Chinese defenders on the position soon felt the unprecedented madness of the devils!

Changshu is in a hurry! Yushan is in a hurry! Haiyu is in a hurry!

Matsui Ishone's death order pushed the Chinese troops on the Wufu line into the oil pot!

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

Nanjing City, three lanes in Baixia District.

The 72nd Army commander Sun Yuanliang's car stopped in front of a house, and as soon as Sun Yuanliang pushed the car door, someone from inside the house door greeted him.

Under the guidance of the comer, Sun Yuanliang walked through a corridor and entered a small courtyard, and in the pavilion in the center of the courtyard, someone was already waiting for him with melon seeds.

They are all old acquaintances, including Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army, Shen Fazao, commander of the 87th Division, and Gui Yongqing, captain of the Teaching Corps.

Several central German armament units used by the highest authorities to defend the city of Nanjing, except for the 78th Division of the 36th Army commander Song Xilian, other military commanders have gathered here, and the convener is naturally Luo Zhuoying, who is now sitting in the master's seat!

Sun Yuanliang walked to the pavilion and stood still, and Shen Fazao, the commander of the 87th Division, smiled at him, and then gave up a low stool.

These German armament units are all related by blood, and many officers and soldiers have been together before, and the degree of familiarity with each other is extremely high.

Luo Zhuoying saw that all the invited people had arrived, so she cleared her throat and began to speak:

"You are all acquaintances, I will not be polite, I invite you here today to discuss the position of the various departments in the defense of Nanjing, all the troops here are the meat of the chairman's heart, if you are someone else's cannon fodder in this Nanjing City, it is too unworthy!"

Cannon fodder!

This word is fresh in Shen Fazao's ears!

What kind of unit is his 87 division? One of the only three German divisions in the center, he has always been the only one in his 87th Division to let others be used as cannon fodder, and he never thought that one day this word would be used on his own head.

"Commander Luo! Your words are a bit alarmist, aren't they? Let a few of our troops be cannon fodder? Just with Tang Mengxiao's piece of wood? What Nanjing City Defense Commander? Not a marionette yet!? He has to move whatever the chairman wants him to do! I'm not going to buy Don's account! ”

Luo Zhuoying smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals, he gave Shen Fazao a thumbs up and said:

"Master Shen is really a cheerful person! I know that you will not take Tang Mengxiao's wreckage in your eyes, but don't forget that the military governor of the Battle of Nanjing was not Tang Mengxiao, but Huang Haoran! ”

Gui Yongqing took a sip of tea and said without yin or yang:

"What happened to Huang Haoran? His 99th Army can fight, and my teaching corps is not vegetarian! I don't believe that the chairman of the committee will really hand over my Royal Forest Army to Huang Haoran to command! I think he's a marionette too! In the end, it has to be the chairman! ”

"O my captain! If it's really like you said, the chairman is in control of the overall situation, and I still want to invite you here for a reason. Who doesn't have a whole bunch of personal matters to attend to right now? Are you idle? ”

Luo Zhuoying's expression was so heartfelt when she spoke... He was afraid that these pricks would pat their butts and leave, in that case, they would be busy today!

can mix in the "civil engineering department" to his current position, Luo Zhuoying is naturally not stupid, maybe he is a little mediocre in terms of military attainments, but in this interpersonal relationship, he Commander Luo has two brushes.

You see that now he is coaxing these military commanders to death, and no one thinks that he, Luo Zhuoying, is saving hope for himself.

"Brother Gui! What are you anxious about? Let Commander Luo finish speaking! ”

Wang Jingjiu is qualified to be old among several people, only he can do this peacemaker's business, Sun Yuanliang and Gui Yongqing are his friends, Shen Fazao is his subordinate, as for Luo Zhuoying, to be honest, Wang Jingjiu has never taken this fat man seriously.

Luo Zhuoying knew that several of the people here today had an extremely hard backstage, so he was not annoyed by Gui Yongqing's rude attitude, and still spoke slowly:

"Originally, I didn't want to be this villain, guarding the capital, that's the duty of our soldiers, and it's my responsibility! But he just killed a Huang Haoran, so we have to think about the bad first! ”

"Commander Luo, don't go around! Something to say! Listen, everybody!"

Or Gui Yongqing, the captain of this teaching team is really domineering!

"Brother Gui, Commander Wang, Commander Sun, and Commander Shen, do you know that the chairman of the committee gave Huang Haoran a 'Shangfang Sword'? All the troops near Nanjing were mobilized with him, and he also had the power to cut the generals who were derelict in their duties! ”

Wang Jingjiu, Shen Fazao, Sun Yuanliang and Gui Yongqing were all shocked!

I didn't expect this Huang Haoran to get such a big power from the highest authority!

"It's... Even so, if we don't do anything wrong, he Huang Haoran can't do anything to us, right? ”

When Gui Yongqing said this, his confidence obviously became insufficient.

Luo Zhuoying snorted coldly in her heart!

You kid know to be scared, huh? I thought you were really the Thirteenth Taibao, not afraid of heaven and earth!

"Those are secondary, I'm afraid that if he, Huang Haoran, takes chicken feathers as an arrow and pushes our divisions to the front line to block the Japanese army, what can I do? Nanjing is a situation of nine deaths and a life, and when he comes to defend it, we will have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground! ”

Luo Zhuoying was waiting for this sentence, and now Sun Yuanliang said it for him, which also saved him a lot of saliva.

That's what I'm worried about! You said that if Huang Haoran really gave such an order, should we carry it out or not? ”

"Execute a ball! It's a big deal if I go to the chairman of the committee to 'sue the royal court', I don't believe that the president doesn't care about our tens of thousands! ”

Gui Yongqing was still the fastest, but his words made Wang Jingjiu and the others next to him frown.

Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? As soon as something happens, hug the thighs of the highest authorities, and you don't know how to be ashamed!

Wang Jingjiu's brain turned relatively fast, he refilled Luo Zhuoying with a cup of tea, and said with a smile:

"Since Commander Luo has brought his brothers here today, he must already have a countermeasure, right?"

Wang Jingjiu's words reminded several other people, and their eyes turned to Luo Zhuoying.

Luo Fatzi lowered his head and drank tea, but his heart was happy......
