Chapter 21: The Layout of Nanjing

5.21 Layout of Nanjing

After witnessing the death of Miki Juncao, the devils who were lying in front of the 539th regiment's position were immediately drained of all their courage, and they quickly disappeared without a trace like the water at low tide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ono's few small drops of water were too far forward and were held down by the fire of the 539th Regiment and could not move, so they were not able to return to where they started.

These privates of Miki's group were abandoned by their compatriots and all remained in the positions of the 539th Regiment.

Zhao Tiezhu is a recruit who has just joined the 139th Division not long ago, and his father is a blacksmith, so he gave him his current name, saying that it is easy to feed.

A recruit like Zhao Tiehammer, the position of machine gunner and submachine gunner is naturally not their turn, Zhao Tiehammer looked at the oily Czech and submachine guns in the veteran's arms, and then looked at the Hanyang-made rifle in his arms, and couldn't help but complain.

"Why do our recruits take rifles and crouch behind, and can't even get a chance to release their guns......"

"I said you're a rookie, complaining here? The little devil's marksmanship is very good, aren't you afraid that you will meet Hades after the addiction of shooting? ”

It was a veteran who was changing magazines.

"Afraid of a ball! I think the little devils are also some fake tricks, and they were beaten back by our 139th Division as soon as they showed up? Zhao Tiezhu was a fiery temper, and immediately said a sentence.

The veteran was also a little angry when he heard this, thinking that you, a new soldier, are too crazy! I'm going to have to teach you a lesson.

So the old man who changed the magazine pointed to the few of them lying in a dead corner area outside the bunker, and said to Zhao Tiezhu:

"If you have the ability, go out and catch a live devil and come back, don't say I didn't give you a chance, there are 6 or 7 Oriental radish heads over there!"

Zhao Tiehammer was also stupid, and actually got up and got into the tunnel.

"I'll show you! Wait for me! ”

The veteran who started shooting after changing the magazine didn't hear what Zhao Tiezhui said at the end, he just thought that this stunned boy was running into the pit and sulking.

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

"Junza, Senior Commander Shen has fought well this time! His 301st Brigade defended the Yushan position from dawn today to now consume more than 1,000 devils, and the two regiments of the 139th Division of Commander Wang deployed on the defense line also repelled a night attack by the Japanese army last night, and the 19th Brigade launched another attack in the morning, and we should not be long before we can see Wang Shankui's good news!"

As soon as Fan Jie saw Huang Haoran this morning, he kept reporting good news, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the performance of the 99th Army on the national defense front.

"I'm not worried about the 139th Division and the 99th Division, what is the situation of Wu Jianping's 121st Division and Xie Wendong's Independent 47th Brigade?"

Huang Haoran asked Fan Jie while drinking tea, he talked to Jiang Baili on the radio for a long time last night, but he slept very late, and Huang Haoran had just woken up until now.

Huang Haoran has been looking lazy these days, he doesn't seem to care about the war of the 99th Army at all, and he has been telegraphing and telegraphing with the officers in Nanjing all day long, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Fan Jie smiled and said to Huang Haoran, who was rubbing his eyes:

"Wu Jianping's side was not attacked on a large scale, the 16th Division seemed to take the area defended by the 2 regiments of the 139th Division as their breakthrough point, the 121st Division has seen less than a brigade of devils in the past two days, Xie Wendong's side will be more troublesome, originally the 16th Division did not plan to take Xie Wendong's independent 47th Brigade to open the knife, but the Japanese 3rd Division ran headlong, and launched 6 or 7 group charges in a row, Xie Wendong said that he could still withstand it, but there were too many recruits, and he couldn't draw troops to counterattack......"

"When did this Xie Wendong start to become dishonest? Let him obediently stay in the fortifications, we didn't have such good conditions when we were in Shanghai, and now that we are in Changshu, we should make full use of the advantages we should use! Strive to squeeze more flesh and blood of devils! The 121st Division still has to keep an eye on it, although we have changed their clothes, but Wu Jianping, who is the division commander, is still the same old way in thinking, don't let the little devils take advantage of the loopholes! ”

Huang Haoran took a fritter handed over by the guard, took a bite, and then turned to Fan Jie and said:

"By the way, Chief of Staff Fan, how is the battle situation on Luo Zhuoying's side?"

Fan Jie signed the document in his hand, handed it to the staff officer waiting behind him, and then turned to Huang Haoran's side, stretching out his palm at Huang Haoran's guard.

The guard was a little hesitant, the military seat hadn't finished breakfast yet, and these fritters had been left for a long time.

"Give it to him! Give it to him! I said, Chief of Staff Fan, can you be a little more generous? Why are you always greedy for these three melons and two dates......"

"This is called the red one who is close to Zhu, and the one who is close to ink is black......"

Fan Jie smiled and took Huang Haoran's breakfast from the reluctant guard, and sat on the chair next to Huang Haoran.

"Don't eat it! Speak!! ”

Huang Haoran's first fritter had already been swallowed, he looked at Fan Jie's villainous appearance, and impatiently tapped his fingers on the table.

"Junza, you're too realistic, aren't you? Before this benefit enters your mouth, you have to rush to work? I'm miserable......."

"you! Lao Tzu didn't pay you a military salary, did he? If it's short, you're looking for... You look for Wang Huanzhi! ”

Huang Haoran originally wanted to say that Fan Jie would come to him, but he suddenly remembered that the money bag of the 99th Army was in the hands of Wang Huanzhi, and his private property was in the hands of the great beauty.

So Huang Haoran hurriedly made a sharp turn in his tongue, changed the second half of the sentence, and led the fire to Wang Huanzhi.

Fan Jie knew that if he didn't tell Huang Haoran about the 15th Group Army, he wouldn't be able to eat the fritters today, so Fan Jie held back the protest of the Five Organs Temple and talked about business first:

"Luo Zhuoying's side is lively, the Japanese fleet on the sea of Fushan bombarded from morning to night, Matsui Shigen sent tens of thousands of little devils at once, the losses of the 15th Group Army in Songhu were not small, and some divisions only had one regiment left, if it weren't for the reinforcements of the Sichuan Army this morning, I am afraid that the Fushan front line would not be able to hold up today!"

"Luo Fatty, this wreck! I can't even stand it for 1 day! Chen Cixiu is also blind, and he actually fell in love with Luo Zhuoying's silver-like wax gun head! The elite soldiers of the 15th Group Army died unjustly! ”

Huang Haoran sighed and slapped the table and got up, Fan Jie planned to comfort Huang Haoran a few words, but he didn't pay attention and was snatched back by Huang Haoran from the fritters in his hand.

"Throne! You are beating the monk after reciting the scriptures, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! Isn't that authentic! ”

Huang Haoran said to Fan Jie with a wicked smile;

"I didn't say you can eat it just now, I just said it to you, you see, I gave it to you, you got it, and now I'll take it back, it's fair and reasonable!"

Fan Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly:

"I can be regarded as knowing why this little Japan is always planted in front of you, just with your hands, the 16th Division will come to Changshu even if it is a blood mold! As long as the supplies can keep up, our 99th Army will have no problem defending here for half a year......"

While Fan Jie's complaint was when Huang Haoran solved his breakfast, he heard that Fan Jie's deadline for the 99th Army had been set for half a year, and he immediately interrupted Fan Jie's words:

"Who said we're going to keep the first half of the year? And he is clever there! ”

"What, Commander, are you going to take us to this defense line?"

"Still stuck here? Not to mention half a year, I didn't even think about holding on for half a month! ”

Yes!???

Fan Jie is completely dizzy now!

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

Nanjing, Presidential Palace.

The flames of war on the Wufu Line tugged at the nerves of the highest authorities.

The state of mind of the supreme authorities at that time was completely different from that before the start of the Songhu War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the supreme authorities at that time believed in their hearts that as long as they could concentrate the elite of the Central Army, they could teach the Japanese a profound lesson in Shanghai, and that no matter whether the outcome was victory or defeat, both China and Japan could at least return to the negotiating table.

Unexpectedly, the war was fought for three months, and the Japanese are now having to advance an inch, and they are not satisfied with occupying Shanghai, and Tokyo is already brazenly clamoring to capture Nanjing!

Isn't this on the neck of his highest authorities?!

The supreme authorities immediately ordered the Ministry of Military Affairs to start a-for-tat propaganda war against the Japanese, but in the face of military defeats and retreats, the Ministry of Military Affairs inevitably lacked some confidence in its propaganda.

The supreme authorities needed some strong support from his army for his anti-Japanese high-pitches, but the beloved Central Army of the supreme authorities let him down.

Once the Japanese broke through the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line, then the capital of the Nanjing government would be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Orientals, and according to the current development situation on the battlefield, preparations must be made in advance.

Today's meeting is held to discuss the question of the choice of commanders for the defense of Nanjing.

The highest authorities, as usual, encouraged his generals at the beginning of the meeting, and then sang a loud note, after which Chiang Baili gave an update on the latest fighting in the vicinity of the defense line.

Soon, the focus of the meeting turned to today's topic----- the Battle of Nanjing.

The participants who were already depressed were now burying their heads even lower, and none of them wanted to be the supreme commander of the Battle of Nanjing.

The arrogance of the Japanese is victorious, and the troops near Nanjing are all newly defeated divisions, in case the highest authorities come to a decision to live and die with the city of Nanjing, then whoever becomes the commander of the city defense of Nanjing will be equivalent to digging a grave for himself!

This battle, which we know we can't win, is really unmotivating......

Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge " were very angry in their hearts that the supreme authorities did not listen to their dissuasion and did not withdraw the troops from Songhu to the national defense line early to block the Japanese army, so they had today's predicament. Today, the highest authorities handed over messages to these two Guangxi bigwigs several times, but Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge " only drank tea and did not say a word.

Seeing that the impasse could not be broken for a long time, the highest authorities had to start this conversation themselves:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Japanese are getting closer and closer to Nanjing, although the troops on the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line are working very hard, after all, they are all troops who have lost their vitality in Songhu, and it is unrealistic to rely on them to block the Japanese! Nanjing's urban defense deployment is urgent, everyone here is the pillars of the country, and they should all have their own views on the upcoming defense of the capital, how about it? Who's going to talk about ......? ”

Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge " glanced at each other, originally they planned to say nothing until the end of the meeting, but now the highest authorities have put forward the term "defense of the capital", and it is obvious that the highest authorities are planning to invest considerable troops in Nanjing to fight, which is simply willful in the eyes of Chief Li and "Xiao Zhuge "!

Can a Jedi like Nanjing be defended?

If we don't dispel the thoughts of the highest authorities, I am afraid that the flesh and blood of more than 100,000 soldiers will have to fill this bottomless pit!

Chief Li and "Little Zhuge " had to stand up!

"Chairman! From a military point of view, Nanjing's geographical location is very unfavorable for defense, the Japanese army in Shanghai is menacing, the Wufu line has been shaken, even if you have the intention to arrange the city defense, the time is not very allowed, I think it is better to resist in the form of Nanjing, and the large army is still moving in the direction of Wuhan and Xuzhou......"

Chief Li's words have already been said very politely, if he had changed to the sharp-tongued "Xiao Zhuge ", I am afraid that he would have directly said that the Nanjing city guards would not be able to hold such words.

Chief Li's words were obviously unwilling to be heard by the highest authorities, who looked around at the generals at the meeting, but found that most of them actually agreed with Chief Li's words, and it seemed that abandoning Nanking had become their consensus!

Seeing that the direction of the development of the conference was getting farther and farther away from their goals, the highest authorities finally couldn't help but start going crazy!

"Nanjing! It is the capital of China! Whether to defend Nanjing or not is not a simple military issue! It's still a political issue! We must use the spirit of fighting to the end to inspire our people and give them confidence! Nanjing must be defended! This question needs no more discussion! I'll just say it now! Who wants to defend Nanjing? ”

There was silence in the room......

The highest authority was completely furious, and he slapped the table and shouted:

"Then I'll keep it! If I sacrifice, you will continue to resist the Japanese! ”

What the Supreme said at this time was obviously angry, if he really let him, the supreme ruler of China, defend the city of Nanjing, I am afraid that all the Chinese soldiers will become a laughing stock for the ages!

At this time, a person suddenly stood up, and the highest authorities fixed their eyes on it, and it turned out to be Tang Shengzhi, director of the Security Enforcement Department of the Military Commission.

Tang Shengzhi said loudly: "Now the enemy is approaching the capital. The capital is the location of the mausoleum of the father of the nation, and at this time of great enemy, if Nanjing does not sacrifice one or two generals, we will not only be sorry for the prime minister's spirit in heaven, but also sorry for our supreme commander. I advocate defending Nanjing to the death and fighting the enemy to the end! ”

Tang Shengzhi's big words were very righteous and awe-inspiring, and the highest authorities were overjoyed after hearing them. In order to behave well in front of the highest authorities, Tang Shengzhi immediately swore to live and die with Nanjing.

Chief Li was very disgusted with such a performance school, and he was very dissatisfied with what Tang Shengzhi did.

Chief Li cocked his thumb sarcastically and said to Tang Shengzhi: "Yu Xiao, you are really amazing! ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Shengzhi actually sneered at each other: "Degong, the war has evolved to this point, and we still refuse to do it, and we are so sorry for the country!" Then Tang Shengzhi assured the supreme authorities that he would "not be chaotic in the face of danger and not be reluctant in the face of difficulties", and "he would never retreat without the commander's order, and swore to live and die with Nanjing."

The highest authorities felt that they had finally seen their loyal ministers, so they were excited to immediately appoint Tang Shengzhi as the commander of Nanjing's city defense, and just when the highest authorities were about to stand up excitedly, Jiang Baili suddenly spoke:

"It's commendable that Yu Xiao can stand up at this time of national crisis, but... Chairman of the committee, after all, Yu Xiao has been away from the battlefield for many years, and the Japanese army is not comparable to those old armies in China, I think that letting Yu Xiao alone pick up the burden of guarding Nanjing is only afraid that he has more than enough heart and not enough strength......"

"What? Baili wants to accompany me Tang someone to wade through this troubled water? If I can get the help of you, a great military strategist, I will be even more confident! ”

Tang Shengzhi thought that Jiang Baili was coming to share the credit with him, so it was inevitable that there was some guns and sticks in his tone, Jiang Baili didn't care about Tang Shengzhi's words, and continued to speak to the highest authorities:

"Nanjing, if you want to defend it, it is necessary to send a tiger general to suppress the formation, Tang Yuxiao has enough qualifications but lacks some actual combat experience, suitable for mediation, as for the operation, it is best to ask another ...... to be smart."

The highest authorities were reminded by Jiang Baili, and finally remembered that Tang Shengzhi was not a material to lead troops, in 1930, Tang Shengzhi was attacked by Yang Hucheng on a snowy night, knocked out the general headquarters and the whole army collapsed, almost lost his life, let him command Nanjing's city defense operations, it was really child's play......

"Baili, don't go around in circles, if there is any suitable candidate, just say it!"

Jiang Baili was relieved to see that the highest authorities were relieved, knowing that the chairman of the committee had little confidence in Tang Shengzhi's military talents, and that it was only because he was really forced by Chief Li to be anxious just now that he regarded Tang Shengzhi as a pillar.

Now that the highest authorities have a rational positioning for Tang Shengzhi, this next article is easy to do!

"Chairman of the committee, Huang Haoran's 99th Army fought well in Songhu, and now the 99th Army is in Changshu, and has gone through nearly a month of rest, it is a strong army available, Huang Haoran has always been agile in the war, even the Japanese call him a 'famous general', the plan for the defense line of the troops proposed by his subordinates before also has his suggestions in it, I think it is better to hand over the city defense of Nanjing to him......"

"No! Huang Haoran is too young! How could such a burden of defending the capital be entrusted to him! ”

As soon as Tang Shengzhi heard that the person Jiang Baili was sponsoring to replace him was actually a fledgling little army commander, he immediately objected!

"There are many organs in Nanjing, and there are many foreigners and celebrities, Huang Haoran is just a lieutenant general, I'm afraid he can't suppress these people!"

Jiang Baili saw that Tang Shengzhi was a little angry, and couldn't help but cover his nose and chuckle, Huang Haoran's brain didn't know how it was long, he actually guessed a few days ago that the highest authorities would defend Nanjing, and this Tang Shengzhi would definitely jump out and take care of everything.

Everything was expected by this little brother of his own!

Jiang Baili now just needs to say what he envisioned......

"General Tang, don't worry! What you said is also an objective situation, but I have also considered these, it is indeed not appropriate to let Huang Haoran take office alone, I mean let Huang Haoran be General Tang's deputy, and the affairs of the battle will be handed over to him, and the organs, foreigners and celebrities in Nanjing will be handed over to you General Tang to deal with, so the combination of literature and martial arts is also suitable! ”

After listening to Jiang Baili's words, the highest authorities actually agreed in their hearts, but he was worried that Huang Haoran would not want to jump into this fire pit, so he asked Jiang Baili:

"Baili, is this what you mean, or is it Huang Haoran's meaning?"

Jiang Baili replied with a smile:

"Chairman, I'm just making Huang Haoran's microphone, this is all what this little guy means!"

This sentence has greatly satisfied the face of the highest authorities, aren't you all unwilling to be the commander of Nanjing's urban defense? Now there are people fighting for this position!

That's the gap! ......

The supreme authorities did not forget to add to the obstacles to his old rival, Chief Li, and asked him in a hypocritical manner:

"O neighbor! What do you think of Tang Yuxiao and Huang Youchen? ”

Chief Li discussed the matter and replied to the highest authorities after a little thought:

"Huang Youchen is a tiger general, I don't have any opinion on him leading the army, but I still think it's better not to defend Nanjing ......"

"Delin, let them give it a try, if we don't even guard our own capital, it will make foreigners laugh at it......"

The smile finally crept up on the face of the highest authority again, and this time, he won his old rival again......
