6.27 Quadrangular City

Nanjing, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Square City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Haoran suddenly received a call from Jiang Baili, saying that the highest authorities planned to leave Nanjing City in a few days, Huang Haoran looked up at the calendar on the wall, today is December 5, 1937, and the time when the highest authority in history left Nanjing is December 7, it seems that the old man is very likely to leave Nanjing the day after tomorrow.

Due to the appearance of Huang Haoran, the history of the defense of Nanjing has been affected, and to this day, the periphery of Nanjing has not been violently attacked by the Japanese army, so the mood of the highest authorities is quite acceptable.

Huang Haoran walked out of his headquarters and drove to Sifang City, he still needed the help of the highest authorities......

Nanjing has been indiscriminately bombed by the Japanese army these days, and there are burning houses and collapsed buildings everywhere, because the city defense headquarters has ordered the closure of several city gates in the east and south of the city, so now almost all the citizens of Nanjing are moving in the direction of Hexi and Xiaguan, looking at the crowd of people with children and daughters carrying family wealth on the street, Huang Haoran's heart is very uncomfortable.

The car began to speed up after the presidential palace, there were not many residents in the east of the city, and most of them were some families, with the price of the ferry tickets sold by the 99th Army dropped again and again, most of the people in the east of the city have left Nanjing, so this area has become a little deserted.

Stationed at Zhongshan Gate was the 66th Army, and the officer who led the team in front of the sentry saw Huang Haoran's car with the pass of the Nanjing City Defense Command attached to it, coupled with the cold expression of the driver sitting in the cab, so he just walked through the motions and waved his hand to let him go.

The style of the 66th Army made Huang Haoran's brows furrow, since he took office, Nanjing has long been divided into areas, set up cards everywhere, but because the grassroots officers and soldiers are full of loopholes when executing, this very good method has not received any effect, take the assassination incident a few days ago, if the defenders in the city can faithfully perform their duties, I am afraid that those Japanese will not find a chance to start at all!

The quality of the officers and men of the Chinese army is indeed a big problem, and Huang Haoran couldn't help but think of the pile of paper-like piles on his office desk.

The retreat of the Chinese army from the Songhu battlefield to the vicinity of Nanjing was a chaotic retreat to the extreme, and because of the low quality of the officers and men, it did not interfere with the affairs of the people.

The cities and villages along the Beijing-Shanghai route are fertile lands. Perhaps because of the strong fortifications of the Wufu Line and the Xicheng Line as barriers, the people in this area were given "peace of mind", and the people did not expect their troops to be wiped out so quickly, and many people did not have time to make a planned evacuation.

Some stragglers in blue uniforms who retreated from the front line (at that time, the front line troops had many numbers. The chest and armbands of officers and men do not have the number of the unit written on them, but only the code name, so it is generally not easy to know which unit the other side belongs to. At that time, everyone was accustomed to calling those wearing blue uniforms the "Central Army"), and they regarded Wuxi, Suzhou, and other places as good places to "make foreign fortunes", openly looting, and doing whatever they wanted. Along the way of retreat, some of the stragglers wore robbed leather jackets; Or carry the whole ham with the barrel of a gun, and move in a staggering and unambiguous manner......

The army is everywhere, in addition to disturbing the people or disturbing the people! The young men among the common people fled to the wilderness for fear of being ruffled and hid, and the road was full of old and weak, women and children, carrying children on their shoulders and holding their livestock, crying while fleeing, mixed in the chaotic ranks of the retreating procession, and the tragic situation was really sad for those who saw it, and wept for those who heard it!

Huang Haoran had seen a few stragglers openly shouting and driving a group of fat pigs mixed in the retreating crowd, looking like no one was around!

Huang Haoran recalled in his heart those lawless and reckless banditry, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "How can such a disciplined army resist and defend the territory!" How can you become the support of the people? ”

The only thing that makes Huang Haoran feel gratified is that his 99th Army is different among these central armies, and the good military discipline cultivated over the years has made the 99th Army and the people along the way have no offenses, and soon, the fleeing people began to spread the word of mouth, which also makes the people behind the 99th Army much more than in other places!

If China has 10 99 armies, little Japan will not want to enter China!

A sense of pride swelled up in Huang Haoran's heart......

Huang Haoran was in a state of ups and downs, and when the car arrived in Sifang City, Huang Haoran walked into this two-story small building for the first time, which is the temporary residence of the highest authority.

I have to say that Qian Dajun chose a good place for the highest authorities, there are many trees near the small building, and this temporary official residence of the highest authority is tightly covered, even if the Japanese Air Force has great ability, I am afraid it will not be able to hit such a hidden target!

As soon as Huang Haoran got out of the car, he saw Luo Zhuoying and Tang Shengzhi, these two were among the few people who knew that Huang Haoran had already recovered his health, but he didn't expect the highest authorities to summon them.

Huang Haoran and Luo Zhuoying and Tang Shengzhi exchanged a few words, and then several people entered the small building one after another, Qian Dajun had already arranged for the staff of the attendant room to wait at the door, because the place was very small, so Huang Haoran saw everything in the building as soon as he entered the door, Qian Dajun eagerly greeted Huang Haoran as soon as he saw it, and said happily:

"Commander Huang! Mr. Jiang has already gone in first, and the committee has already asked you two or three times, if you don't come again, I will have to send someone along the road to find you......"

Of course, Huang Haoran didn't think that Qian Dajun was saying compliments to himself, he hurriedly said politely:

"I got the news late, and I was in a hurry on the road or late, damn it!"

Qian Dajun flashed to the side a little, then pointed to the stairs, and motioned for Huang Haoran to go upstairs, Luo Zhuoying and Tang Shengzhi did not have such good treatment as Huang Haoran, Qian Dajun arranged for them to wait in the small room on the first floor.

When Huang Haoran turned around and followed Qian Dajun upstairs, he saw Tang Shengzhi's eyes flashing with jealousy.

At the corner of the stairs, Huang Haoran asked Qian Dajun in a low voice:

"Chief Qian, have you booked the date?"

Qian Dajun saw that there was no one around, and he also whispered:

"The decision of the commission is down, and it will be these two days....."

Huang Haoran nodded, ready to finish the narrow staircase quickly, Qian Dajun in front of him suddenly stopped and leaned over to Huang Haoran to speak:

"Commander Huang, I have something to ask you for help, it's all because I'm a loose person, I usually buy a lot of things, and now I'm going to leave with the commission on a special plane, and these beloved things are gone......"

Huang Haoran immediately understood the meaning of Qian Dajun's words, he stepped to Qian Dajun's side in one step, and said in a low voice:

"It's okay, Chief Qian just asks the family to transport things to Xiaguan, and the younger brother will definitely do it properly!"

Qian Dajun saw that his goal had been achieved, so he didn't speak again, he directly led Huang Haoran to the study of the highest authority on the second floor, and then pushed the door in and reported:

"Take a seat! Commander Huang has arrived......"

Huang Haoran adjusted his military uniform and walked into the room, in addition to the highest authority, there were two people in the room, one was Huang Haoran's eldest brother Jiang Baili, and the other was Chen Bui, who was known as the "courage" of the highest authority.

Remembering that he had slept in Chen Bui's office before, Huang Haoran nodded politely at Chen Bui, Chen Bui knew very well what Huang Haoran was now in front of the highest authorities, so he also smiled and nodded.

When the highest authority saw Huang Haoran's eyes lit up, he beckoned and said:

"Youchen has arrived! Have a seat! Have a seat! Don't be too restrictive! ”

The highest authorities forgot that he was not in the office of the presidential palace now, there were only 2 sofas in the small study room of this small building in Sifang City, and now Jiang Baili and Chen Bui were sitting on it, Huang Haoran looked around, and there was no place for him to sit.

Qian Dajun just got the benefit of Huang Haoran, so he also took special care of Huang Haoran, he immediately took a Mazar from outside the door and handed it to Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran took the Maza, opened it and put it in the house, and then sat down with a golden knife.

Chen Bui on the side praised:

"Commander Huang is worthy of being a tiger general, he is resolute in his demeanor, and he carries the wind in everything he does!"

The highest authorities obviously agreed with Chen Bui's words, and smiled and nodded.

After Huang Haoran sat down, he glanced at Jiang Baili, Jiang Baili glanced at Huang Haoran and told him that it was now the turn of the highest authorities to speak, and Huang Haoran immediately made an appearance of humbly listening to the teaching.

The highest authorities looked at Huang Haoran thoughtfully.

It was this Huang Youchen who completely annihilated a wing of the Japanese army in the first battle in Nanjing, and it was also this Huang Youchen who stood up and cleaned up the mess for his highest authorities when everyone was unwilling to take up the burden of Nanjing!

Look at those government officials who are loyal to the country but have their own plans in their hearts, the gap is too big!

The highest authorities really wish to have a few more subordinates like Huang Youchen!

After the Songhu War, the Chinese army was excessively consumed, and although the supreme authorities put together a patchwork of all sides, the strength of the Nanjing garrison was only a dozen divisions, about 180,000 people, and the morale of these troops was extremely low, among which there were about 30,000 newly replenished soldiers, and some of these recruits had not yet received training, so they were hastily pushed into the line of fire by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and many officers and soldiers of the troops did not know each other. Under these circumstances, it was no longer possible to devote these troops to brutal operations such as defensive warfare and positional warfare, but the highest authorities still gritted their teeth and did so!

The reason why the supreme authorities have always insisted on holding on to the city of Nanjing is that if Nanjing, which is easily lost, it will be detrimental to the dignity of the country; The second reason is that the highest authorities still have expectations for the Soviet Union to send troops......

Today, among the international powers, the Soviet Union is the only country that has expressed its willingness to actively support China. Since the start of the war between China and Japan, Sino-Soviet relations have also quickly entered a honeymoon period!

On 21 August, China and the Soviet Union signed a long-pending non-aggression pact, in which the Soviet side promised China that it would not buy Soviet arms with cash. On 1 September, the highest authorities predicted at the Supreme Council of National Defense that the Soviet Union would eventually enter the war against Japan. On the 28th, Soviet Ambassador to China Bogomolov was summoned back to China and discussed with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui the necessary conditions for the Soviet Union to enter the war. On November 10, when Marshal Voroshilov bid farewell to Zhang Chong, the Chinese representative, he asked Zhang Chong to return to China and tell him that when China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression reached a life-and-death juncture, Soviet Russia should send troops and would never sit idly by. On the 30th, the supreme authorities sent a telegram to Voroshilov and Stalin expressing their gratitude, saying: "China has now exhausted its last and greatest strength for the sake of national survival and international obligations, and is waiting for the support of its friendly Soviet Union, Russia." ”

The enthusiasm of the Soviets moved the highest authorities to tears, taking the current prosecution in Nanjing as an example, if it were not for the E-15 and E-16 fighters sold by the Soviets to the Chinese Air Force, the Chinese Air Force would have been left in the skies over Nanjing!

Although the supreme authorities scolded Huang Haoran in front of Huang Haoran a few days ago, and he always declared that the "Red Soviet Union" was unreliable, since he tasted the sweetness of "Soviet aid," the supreme authorities could no longer stop, and the Nanjing government never stopped its contacts with the Soviet Union.

In the eyes of the supreme authorities, the Soviet Union and China were both threatened by Japanese aggression, so Su Liang would definitely support China's war of resistance, but because the Soviet Union was more worried about being invaded by Germany, they were unwilling to start a war on two fronts at the same time, so as long as the contradictions between Japan and the Soviet Union had not developed to the point where they had to fight each other, it was impossible for the Soviet Union to take action lightly......

The illusions of the highest authorities were soon ruthlessly attacked, and on 5 December Stalin and Voroshilov telegraphed back that the Soviet Union could send troops only if the signatories of the Nine-Power Pact, or most of them, agreed to "deal jointly with Japanese aggression." This telegram made the highest authorities feel that "the dispatch of troops by Soviet Russia is already despairing."

The Soviet Union made it clear that it would not send troops, and although he had cut off the hope of the highest authorities, he still telegraphed Stalin again, saying that he "still hopes that your Soviet will come to the aid of China in its strength."

When the highest authorities said this, they had actually put themselves on a very low posture, and the Nanking government had already begun to plead with the Soviet Union for assistance.

But the "red polar bear" did not give any response!

The hot face of the highest authorities is once again attached to the cold ass!

Since the telegram was sent, the mood of the highest authorities today has been very low, and he has not even eaten breakfast.

Madame had already left Nanjing before the supreme authorities, and without this "flower of interpretation", the troubles of the supreme authorities seemed to be endless.

Probably because they were too discouraged, the highest authorities finally moved the idea of leaving Nanjing, so there was such an early morning summons......

If it weren't for Huang Haoran's timely victory in the outskirts of Nanjing, Qian Dajun really couldn't find a thing that would make the supreme authorities happy.

This is also one of the reasons why Qian Dajun is particularly polite to Huang Haoran today, as a loyal servant of the highest authority, Qian Dajun takes the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of his master very seriously.

Huang Haoran can make the highest authorities happy, then he is Qian Dajun's friend!

Qian Dajun's thinking is very simple, there is only one center in his world, and that is the highest authority!

There were five people crammed into a small study, and the air began to become a little muddy, and Qian Dajun saw that there was no need for him to speak for the time being, so he quietly retreated.

The highest authorities were left in the room, Chen Bui, Jiang Baili and Huang Haoran, and the highest authorities asked Chen Bui to hand Huang Haoran the telegram from Stalin and Voroshilov, and Huang Haoran took the telegram and looked at the contents carefully.

Huang Haoran thought to himself, it seems that the highest authorities were angry with the Soviets early in the morning, but he didn't expect that this telegram from Stalin and Voroshilov was actually the reason why the highest authorities decided to leave Nanjing!

Now that the supreme authorities have allowed themselves to read this telegram, most likely they intend to ask my opinion, and it is better to follow the thoughts of the supreme authorities on such a sensitive issue.

Huang Haoran made up his mind in his heart, so he raised his head, he pretended to be indignant, Huang Haoran's performance made Jiang Baili feel at ease immediately.

I almost forgot that Huang Youchen, this kid is better than a monkey, I've been worried for so long in vain!

Jiang Baili leaned his back completely on the sofa, he knew that now he just had to enjoy Huang Haoran's performance!

Sure enough, as soon as Huang Haoran returned the telegram to Chen Bui and returned to his seat, the highest authority opened his mouth:

"Youchen, what do you think of this telegram from Stalin and Voroshilov?"

Chen Bui immediately pricked up his ears, he wanted to see what kind of thoughts Huang Haoran could say......

"Chairman! From the point of view of his subordinates, this telegram from Stalin and Voroshilov may not be true! The Soviet Union was still afraid of the Japanese, and if it could be summed up in one sentence, it would be that we had no hope for Soviet Russia and could not despair!"

Huang Haoran's sentence "There is no hope for Soviet Russia and you can't despair!" As soon as it came out, the eyes of the highest authorities lit up obviously, and Chen Bui was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this Huang Haoran to understand the thoughts of the highest authorities so thoroughly!

This sentence "There is no hope for Soviet Russia and there is no despair!" It is simply the truest portrayal of the psychology of the highest authorities at that time!

It seems that Jiang Baili's little brother is really extraordinary! No wonder in just a few years, Huang Haoran has been able to rise from a lieutenant colonel staff officer to the current lieutenant general commander!

"What Youchen said is exactly what I want! That's right! For the USSR we have to fight hard! The defense of the city of Nanjing was a key impact on the Soviet Union! Be sure to play well! If you can keep one more day, that is, the nation will add an extra layer of brilliance. If we can hold on for more than half a month, the internal and external situation will certainly change greatly, and our field army will be able to respond as scheduled, and we will not be surrounded by the enemy's army! ”

Looking at Chen Bui, who looked like the highest authorities who had been stimulated and showed his approval, Huang Haoran knew that he had bet on the right treasure this time!

Jiang Baili noticed another meaning in the words of the highest authorities, what is "key influence"? Why is there a specific deadline for sticking to it?

More than half a month? If he really got entangled with the Japanese in Nanjing City for half a month, would Huang Haoran still have the life to leave!?

Jiang Baili felt that he had to speak, although he knew that his words would be very unpleasant!

"Take a seat! Didn't you say that if the situation could not last long, the camera could retreat in order to sort out and expect a counterattack? Do you want to change again? ”

Jiang Baili's reminder made Huang Haoran sober up all of a sudden, if the highest authorities really wanted the Nanjing garrison to defend the city, then the Nanjing garrison would be wiped out!

Just now I patronized the highest authorities to say what was in my heart! I didn't expect to get myself into it!

Huang Haoran felt that his back began to sweat!

Jiang Baili's words really made the supreme authorities feel unhappy, but he did say that "the camera can retreat in order to sort out and hope for a counteroffensive", so the supreme authorities are not good at blaming Jiang Baili.

The study fell into a very embarrassing situation for a while!

In the end, it was the highest authorities who broke the situation, and he adopted a compromise statement: "If the enemy does not dare to storm onslaught, as long as our city is unharmed, our army will still hold on to Beijing for a long time." We should sacrifice at all costs to enhance the status and reputation of our country and army, and it is the only pivot for our revolution to turn defeat into victory. ”

The words of the highest authorities have left enough loopholes for the Nanjing garrison to exploit, Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili glanced at each other, fortunately it was just a false alarm!
