Chapter 114: Exculpation

7.114 Exculpation

Wuhan, on Luojia Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The highest authorities are once again standing by the window of the official residence to watch the scenery of East Lake, and since the Japanese army took Jinan, the highest authorities have often stood in front of the window and pondered. He hoped that the Chinese army would win a big victory at Taierzhuang, so that Wuhan and his precious Central Army could get a long enough rest time; and unwilling to see his old opponent Li Delin establish meritorious deeds, such a psychology is really contradictory!

After suffering for a long time, the highest authorities released two "wonderful chess": the highest authorities first made Huang Haoran the deputy commander of the 5th Theater and the former commander-in-chief of the enemy in Taierzhuang, to share the merits that Li Delin might get; Then he ordered Towneburg to take his 20th Army to the interior of the 5 theater of operations to "mix the sand".

The highest authorities thought that as long as these two chess pieces were thrown to the 5th war zone, they would be able to control the situation of the entire Xuzhou battle. However, the subsequent development of events greatly surprised the highest authorities.

According to the original assumption of the highest authorities, after Huang Haoran arrived in Xuzhou, he should stand on the opposite side of Li Delin. In fact, in the initial period of time, the highest authorities did receive secret reports from the "Central Unification" and the "Military Unification," saying that Huang Haoran had quarreled with Chief Li and Xu Zuyi as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou. For this reason, the highest authorities were very happy for a few days.

However, the situation suddenly changed when the Itagaki Division attacked Linyi, and when Huang Haoran took the initiative to take Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army to Linyi to solve the news of Pang Bingxun, the highest authorities realized that something was wrong with Xuzhou!

In the next battle in Tengxian County and the peripheral battle in Taierzhuang, Huang Haoran and Chief Li cooperated very tacitly, and the two looked like they were confidants and would meet good talents.

Even Hong Kong newspapers praised the Wuhan government for making the right choice this time. In the end, the officials of the "central department" in the Wuhan government felt that they could not stand it. In recent days, the highest authorities have been receiving a bunch of telegrams and letters every day that "denounce" and "accuse" Huang Haoran of "colluding with localities".

As for the other chess piece, Tang Enbo, not to mention it! The clumsy performance of the 20th Army Corps in the Battle of Tengxian County was unanimously criticized by public opinion! Wang Mingzhang's martyrdom made the generals of the Sichuan Army shout the slogan of "Kill Tang Enbo to Captain Wang's Heroic Soul"!

If it weren't for the fact that the Political Department and the Ministry of Military Affairs had made great efforts to do a lot of propaganda and explanation, I am afraid that Tang Enbo would have followed in the footsteps of Han Fuqu by now!

With the "stain" of Teng County, the miscellaneous generals of the 5th Theater now look down on Tang Enbo a hundred! "Mixing sand" is already impossible, and even the 110th Division, which had already swallowed its belly, was forced by Chief Li to spit it out and handed it over to Sun Lianzhong! If it weren't for the fact that the Military Commission later transferred one of Li Xianzhou's divisions to the 20th Army Corps, Tang Enbo's face would have been completely lost!

What makes the highest authorities even more angry is that Tang Enbo has fallen into the current embarrassing situation, and Huang Haoran actually played a certain role in the middle! Could it be that Huang Haoran was really co-opted by Li Delin? Whenever I think of this, the heart of the highest authority is irritable!

At this moment, a man in a black tunic gently pushed open the door of the office of the Supreme Authority and walked in, holding a blue-skinned folder in his hand. Since the highest authorities stood by the window and watched the scenery and did not notice the arrival of the black tunics, the black tunics could only give the highest authorities a reminder.

"Take a seat! Xuzhou Chief Li telegram! ”

"Oh..? I know ......" It took a few seconds for the highest authorities to react. Turning back from the window and sitting behind the desk, the supreme authority had an unfinished expression on his face, and the black tunic was worried that he had disturbed Yaxing of the supreme authority, and he couldn't help but feel a little cramped.

"Read it! I listened......"

After saying these words, the highest authority squinted his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, seemingly very tired, the black tunic secretly exhaled, secretly glad that he did not annoy the highest authority, the temper of the highest authority has not been very good in recent days, Qian Dajun went to the Aviation Committee, Lin Wei went to Xuzhou, it is not easy to find someone to let the highest authority lower the fire.

"Commission, this is written with top secret, according to the regulations....."

"The rules are dead, but people are alive! You people I believe! Some people say that there are Japanese spies in the attendant's room! I think that's alarmist! In such a big country, isn't there even a place for secrecy!? Words of the literati! Words of the literati! Listen to these scholars! It's about to perish! ”

The answer of the black tunics made the supreme authorities suddenly erupt, and the black tunics didn't know what had angered the supreme authorities, and stood in place with a frightened face, his thighs trembling slightly.

The highest authority noticed the reaction of the black tunic, and he glared at the black tunic, a little annoyed, and then said angrily:

"What's the panic? Am I that scary? Or are you a spy of the Japanese!? Telegram left! You! Let's get out!"

After listening to the first half of the words of the highest authority, half of the three souls and seven spirits in the black tunic disappeared, but fortunately, the half of the words behind the supreme authority came back, which made the souls of the black tunic fly out of the body and return to their places.

The black tunic that had been given permission to leave the study hurriedly walked to the desk of the Supreme Authority, bent down and respectfully placed the folder on the table in front of the Supreme Authority with both hands, and then returned to the door backwards, turned the door and walked out.

When the door of the supreme authority's study was closed, the black tunic suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he unconsciously twisted his back, only to find that the clothes on his back were soaked......

The supreme authority picked up the folder on the desktop while talking to himself, and the black tunic did not place the folder in the visual direction of the supreme authority, and now the supreme authority had to turn the folder in his hand around, otherwise he would have to look at the telegram sent by Li Delin upside down.

"Lin Wei has to be returned to Wuhan as soon as possible, these people can't even do simple things, and they will miss the big ......"

At the beginning of the telegram, Chief Li first greeted the supreme authorities, and then recounted the revenge of today's war between Taierzhuang and Linyi; in fact, the headquarters of the commander of the 5th theater would send a telegram to the Wuhan Military Commission every hour, and the supreme authorities had already known the news that Chief Li had said.

Skipping the part that is not nutritious, the highest authorities set his sights on the second half of the telegram, if Li Delin has nothing new to say in these paragraphs, this secret telegram will lose its meaning of existence! Otherwise, the supreme authorities would have such idleness at this moment, and they would have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and since the telegram had been sent, there must be something to be done with the supreme authorities.

Sure enough, in the last two paragraphs of the telegram, the two titles of "Tang Enbo" and "20th Legion" began to appear intensively, and it seems that these two paragraphs are the "drunkard meaning" of Chief Lee......

"Find Jiang Baili Jiang Advisor! Let him come to my official study! ”

After reading the message sent by Chief Li, the highest authority picked up the phone on his desk and said a few words, then he stood up and returned to the window......

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

The black car that Jiang Baili was riding in had not completely stopped, and the two attendant room personnel standing in front of the porch of the official residence rushed up and opened the door of the car, and then said eagerly:

"Advisor Jiang, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you in the study for a long time......!"

Although Jiang Baili felt a little surprised, he didn't show it, he got out of the car and nodded to the two attendant room personnel with a smile, and then said, "In that case, I'll go to see the commission seat immediately." ”

The two attendants were very happy to lead the way, and after a while, Jiang Baili walked to the door of the study of the highest authority.

The black tunic standing outside the door waved his hand first to signal the two attendant room personnel who led the way for Jiang Baili to step down, and then said to Jiang Baili with a smile: "Advisor Jiang, I will report to the commission that you have arrived, please wait for a while......"

Jiang Baili replied with a smile: "Okay! There is labor! ”

The black tunic turned around and pushed the door in, and said loudly after standing upright:

"Report to the Commission! Advisor Jiang has arrived, and is now outside the door! ”

Because the door of the house was not closed tightly, Jiang Baili heard the official words of the highest authority with a Zhejiang flavor from the crack in the door: "Is it? Good! Good! Invite Mr. Jiang Baili in......"

The black tunic opened the door and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Baili, and said, "Consultant Jiang, please take a seat!" ”

Jiang Baili nodded, walked into the study of the highest authority, and the black tunic flashed out of the door, and then closed the door of the study firmly, this time, there was not the slightest gap.

"Hundred miles! You're coming so fast! It seems that you are also not resting.... The Japanese are making trouble in North and Central China, and the leisure of the past has not ......been experienced for a long time."

These opening remarks of the highest authority are very fresh, Jiang Baili still doesn't know why the highest authority is in such a hurry to see him, and before the highest authority does not explain its intentions, Jiang Baili feels that he should not talk casually.

So Jiang Baili followed the words of the highest authorities and started a Taiping fist.

"Yes! Commission! After more than half a year of fighting, we soldiers have forgotten what peace looks like......"

"Can't forget! It shouldn't be forgotten either! The prospects for the War of Resistance are still optimistic! Japan is nothing but a small country! Want to swallow my China? I think little Japan is dreaming! In a few days, the 5th war zone will have a big victory! I'd like to see what Fumima Konoe and Hirohito can say! ”

As in the previous case, the mood of the highest authorities suddenly became hyperactive. However, in Jiang Baili's view, there is nothing too abnormal about the performance of the highest authorities, Songhu, Nanjing, and North China, the Chinese army has been defeated repeatedly, although there have been victories such as the "Hongkou Victory", "Lishui Victory" and "Linyi Victory", but from the level of the entire campaign, the Chinese army has never won the Japanese once! In the face of the people's surging anti-Japanese passion, the pressure on the shoulders of the highest authorities can be imagined!

If the Battle of Taierzhuang can be successfully concluded, it will be a long-awaited battle-level victory for the highest authorities. It is precisely because of the high expectations that the highest authorities are so afraid of disappointment! Now that the Battle of Taierzhuang has entered a critical stage, it is normal for the supreme authorities to be so excited in the face of the "fruits of victory" that they do not know whether they will be able to get their hands on it.

"That's right! Indeed, we should not forget what peace looks like, only in this way will the army die and the people will work hard! Just now, the commission said that the 5th theater is about to lead to a big victory... Isn't it Taierzhuang.. New news? ”

Jiang Baili's words restored the mood of the highest authorities, as the leader of China's War of Resistance, the highest authorities have been under too much pressure in the past six months, and only in the face of people like Jiang Baili and Chen Bui can the highest authorities vent their emotions a little.

This is because Jiang Baili and Chen Bui are both people with no military or political future, and the highest authorities do not need to be too wary of them.

"Hundred miles! Li Delin sent another telegram accusing Tang Enbo of not obeying the order, the 5th Theater now wants to besiege the Isogu Division, what do you think is the chance of victory? ”

In fact, the purpose of the highest authorities looking for Jiang Baili was not to ask such a question, Chief Li and Huang Haoran were both generals with some outstanding military attainments, if they thought that the time had come, the highest authorities would no longer express doubts at all, and what he was really worried about was the relationship between Huang Haoran and Chief Li.

"Coincidentally, Huang Youchen sent me a telegram today, and he was also talking about Taierzhuang...... Huang Youchen believes that now that the Isogu Division has 'entered the urn', as long as Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army can hold out on to the Taierzhuang front line for two more days, the combat effectiveness of the Isogu Division will drop significantly, and at that time, it will be the best time for the 5th Theater to launch a general offensive! Huang Youchen surrounded the 30,000 tired soldiers of Ryosuke Isoya with more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the 25th Army, the 20th Army and the 2nd Army, which should be relatively sure! If it's done well, maybe you can cut Isoya Lian between Lincheng! But there is still a little variable in this, that is, the Itagaki Division in Linyi! If Seishiro Itagaki's 5th Division breaks through the Linyi defensive line and joins forces with the Isoya Division... That's a completely different situation......"

From the perspective of his military adviser, Jiang Baili analyzed the possible changes that might occur in the Battle of Taierzhuang one by one. The supreme authorities sitting behind the solid wood desk nodded frequently, and the last trace of concern in their hearts about the prospects of the Battle of Taierzhuang slowly faded. Since Jiang Baili can conceive in such detail, Huang Haoran has always been in contact with Jiang Baili, which means that the 5th War Zone is now completely ready! Even if the Isoya Division can't be annihilated in the end, the result of severely damaging the Isoya Division can still be fought! In this way, Xuzhou can be held for a longer time, and the much-needed rest time of the Central Army has been implemented.

"Good! All right! With Baili of you helping Huang Youchen behind his back, I can rest assured! But...... I'm worried that Li Delin will exert influence on Huang Youchen, and you also know that Delin has been fighting for half his life, and in a big battle like Taierzhuang, I don't think it's possible that he won't interfere! ”

The words of the highest authority turned very hard in the middle, and Jiang Baili immediately heard the intention of the highest authority! Jiang Baili had long heard rumors in the Wuhan government about the relationship between Huang Haoran and Chief Li, and for this reason, he also specially reminded Huang Haoran, just to prevent the highest authorities from being influenced by these remarks and suppressing Huang Haoran.

Judging from the last few words of the highest authority, this rumor has finally reached the ears of the highest authority!

Jiang Baili knew that the highest authorities wanted to find out Huang Haoran's attitude towards the "local powerful faction" from his mouth, and this matter was not trivial! In the eyes of the highest authorities, wandering between the government and the localities is a sign of impure thinking and vacillation!

Once the highest authorities label Huang Haoran as "on the wrong team" from the heart, Huang Haoran's future will become very bumpy!

Huang Haoran must be immediately cleared of the suspicion of "collusion place"! Jiang Baili secretly made up his mind in his heart!

With selfishness, Huang Haoran is Jiang Baili's little brother, and the relationship between the two of them is very good, Jiang Baili really expects Huang Haoran to inherit his military thoughts, and he and Huang Haoran are actually teachers and friends. He Gong: China has finally produced such a famous general as Huang Haoran in the Anti-Japanese War, no matter what, Jiang Baili will not let Huang Haoran be swallowed up by the whirlpool of political overthrow!

"Take a seat! I know that in recent days, many people in the government have spoken ill of Huang Youchen! It's no wonder that Youchen sat in the high position of deputy commander of the theater at a young age, and naturally some people will be blushing! But these people don't think about it! What does the government need most today? Before Youchen left for Xuzhou, he had a long conversation with me, and I reminded him not to get too close to Li Delin and become tainted with the habits of a warlord. Bench, guess what he said? ”

Jiang Baili's rhetorical question aroused the curiosity of the highest authority, who hesitated for a second or two, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Huang Youchen, what did he say?"

The corners of Jiang Baili's mouth flashed with a smile, he just said a lot, in order to let the highest authorities take his words, as long as the highest authorities open their mouths, it means that the highest authorities will keep Jiang Baili's next words firmly in mind.

"Youchen said this: 'Xuzhou is the barrier of Wuhan, once the Japanese army opens the Jinpu line, they will definitely go straight to Wuhan! The Central Army's new defeat in Beijing and Shanghai is already a serious injury, and if it does not rest and recuperate, it will immediately enter the battle, and there is a great possibility of collapse! If Wuhan is lost, the government will have to retreat into the mountains of Sichuan! If the Japanese had fostered a few more organizations like the North China Coalition Government, wouldn't the committee have been marginalized? At that time, the local officials will jump out one after another and declare autonomy, and there will be no hope for China at all! So I am guarding Xuzhou, in fact, guarding Wuhan and guarding the country! The country will fall! Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to take a trip! ”

The drama of "Huang Haoran's generous resignation" told through Jiang Baili's mouth made the highest authorities sigh when they listened! Huang Haoran's words completely hit the hidden advantage in the hearts of the highest authorities! The supreme authorities are not afraid of the Japanese military attack, and what he is most worried about is that the Japanese will support the puppet government and reduce the influence of the Wuhan government!

Huang Haoran was able to "conceive" for the supreme authorities in such detail, how could the supreme authorities not be moved?

"Huang Youchen! What a pillar too! ”

The highest authorities uttered this extremely high evaluation! Jiang Baili's heart suddenly became a lot easier! (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.) )
