Chapter 65: Secret Killing Mission
Xiao Jian, with Chiang Kai-shek and Xiao Shanling's secret order, decided to take the six people of the military command group to carry out the task of killing Tang Jun this time. This Tang Jun had already left the gendarmerie and took refuge with the Japanese. He knew that he had betrayed his country and become a traitor, and what would happen to the traitor in the end. At the same time, he was guilty of embezzlement, and it was not an exaggeration to kill him ten times. He knew that Xiao Shanling would not let him go, and the military commander would not let him go. The killer will appear in front of him at any time, and he has already embarked on a path of no return. But he doesn't want to die, he wants to embezzle a huge amount of money, and he wants to enjoy the happiness that money brings. He is greedy for money and sex, born in troubled times, and he is happy every day. He cherishes life. He wants to escape to a place where no one knows about him. However, he has become a Japanese dog, and the dog can only listen to its owner. His current identity is the captain of the Japanese detective team in Nanjing, and he has become a Japanese citizen with the rank of junior lieutenant. And took a Japanese name called Kazuo Choshou. His superior, Onagi, promised him that once the Japanese captured Nanjing, he would be the commander of the Nanjing garrison. In order to save his life, he is always cautious. He often carries eight bodyguards and a stand-in.
Xiao Jian returned to the military police headquarters, Xiao Shanling handed Xiao Jian a photo, Xiao Shanling said: "He is Tang Jun, very similar to Commissioner Fang." Xiao Jian took the photo and saw that the person in the photo was a very handsome man with well-maintained skin, and he and the commissioner were like twin brothers.
"Team Leader Xiao, this is a traitor who was personally ordered to be killed by the chairman of the committee. His name is Tang Jun, the son of Tang Wenbo, president of the Nanjing Executive Yuan. The father and son were both pulled into the water by the flower of spy warfare, Yoshiko Kawashima, with beauty and money, and Tang Junbai fell under Yoshiko Kawashima's pomegranate skirt and became a traitor who was determined to stomp on the ground. Since Tang Wenbo was the premier of the Executive Yuan, he was indispensable for Chiang Kai-shek's major military meetings, so he mastered the major military secrets of the Nationalist Army. In the Battle of Lihu, because he provided the military confidential information of the national army, the Japanese army took military action in advance, making the defense of the national army an ornament, and due to Tang Wenbo's leak, the national army suffered heavy losses. Commissar Chiang was furious and strictly ordered the military commanders to eradicate this traitor. Dai Li mobilized all the forces of the military commander, and finally found out that Tang Wenbo was a traitor who betrayed military information. This Tang Jun, in addition to selling state secrets, withholding military rations, and burning grain depots, the scum of this country will be killed. Due to his high position and the close protection of the Japanese, Tang Wenbo made several assassinations, but they were unsuccessful. Tang Jun is extremely vigilant, has good marksmanship, and is often accompanied by four bodyguards. I like to bathe in the Red Nine Hot Spring Bathing Center. Trading with him is the ghost wood, known as the Killer Demon King, this time, he served as the head of the Nanjing Mei Agency, with the rank of Dazuo. All the reconnaissance departments of the Japanese army were under his control, and the special high school was no exception. It is specially responsible for the collection of military intelligence and the suppression of anti-Japanese movements. This man is in public and rarely shows up. But it's very powerful. Even Gu Shoufu had to give him three points. There are four killers around Onagi: Ume Mako, Yoshiko, Takagi and Jesusko. The peerless son is the daughter of Onagi. Mei Zhenzi's martial arts are extremely high, her heart is ruthless, and her disguise skills are perfect, and it is difficult to discover her true face. He is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, his father is Chinese, and his mother is Japanese. Mako Mei has lived in China since she was a child and speaks fluent Chinese and Japanese. Oniki was selected for the Mei agency because of Mei Mako's understanding of China and standard Chinese dialect. Takagi is the son of Onagi and is proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons. Oniki usually lives in a simple place, he is a scholar type, and he rarely comes out. Most of the work is done by his secretary, Mako Ume. Fangzi, we don't know much about her, she's still a little girl. Today, before Japan occupied Nanjing, his spy agency was secretly stationed in Nanjing. We don't even know where they work. Oniki is a China expert, a doctoral student at Harvard University, who has lived in China for more than ten years, and is said to have married a Chinese girl, but later separated for unknown reasons. She also gave birth to a Chinese girl. It's called Jehoyoko, and it's a high-level Japanese spy. This man is scheming, so you have to be extra careful. ”
"Onimu, Oniki was killed by me." Xiao Jian couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"You killed his stand-in." Xiao Shanling said.
"This demon isn't dead!" Xiao Jian didn't expect this ghost tree to be so weird and difficult to deal with. In the Northeast, he was the vanguard of the invasion of China, cruel and bloody. Countless Chinese committed numerous crimes in the northeast and died tragically under his saber. Unexpectedly, he also came to Nanjing, this demon, not to be eliminated for a day, I don't know how many Chinese died tragically under his clutches.
"He is a China expert, ruthless, and has committed many crimes in China. is a difficult opponent. ”
"I'm going to kill him!!"
"Alas!" Xiao Shanling sighed and said, "Tang Shengzhi recommended himself, but now we don't have the ability to kill him." "Don't be impulsive, learn to protect yourself. Now Nanjing is swaying in the wind and rain. Chiang Kai-shek sent more than 100,000 troops to defend Nanjing alone, but he was not prepared to ensure the safe and orderly withdrawal of these troops, and only wishful thinking that the defenders of Nanjing could withdraw without winning like the Battle of Songhu. From this point of view, the Battle of Nanjing was actually defeated before the battle.
It should also be pointed out that Chiang Kai-shek not only did not have a clear attitude on the question of whether and how to defend Nanjing before the war, but even at the critical moment of the defense of Nanjing, he was hesitant and indecisive on the question of whether and when to withdraw the defenders of Nanjing. On December 11, Chiang Kai-shek had already made it clear to Tang Shengzhi: "If the situation cannot last for a long time, you can retreat in order to sort out and counteroffensive." What are these words, the army has withdrawn, what will happen to the people in the city? He said: "After this fierce battle, 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. "As a commander-in-chief, at the critical juncture of whether to fight or withdraw and decide the fate, doesn't issuing such inconsistent and ambiguous instructions make the subordinates at a loss?
In fact, after the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, and Chiang Kai-shek, after all kinds of patchwork, put together only 13 divisions and three regiments of the military police in Nanjing, a total of 11. Of the 40,000 people, about 30,000 of whom are newly replenished recruits, who are untrained and rushed into battle, and the officers and men have not even known each other, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. The results of the chairman's research made the generals of the general headquarters look at each other, and there was an embarrassing silence in the venue, no one was willing to accept the order in danger and take the initiative to take over the hot handsome seal of the city. Speaking of which, it is not difficult for us to see clearly Chiang Kai-shek's purpose: he chose Tang Shengzhi because, as the commander-in-chief, when the determination has been made, only Tang Shengzhi stands up to support him. Although Tang Shengzhi is my superior, I am too far behind Bai Chongxi in commanding a large corps to fight. There is a saying: "If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate." Chiang Kai-shek met "pig-like teammates". Tang Shengzhi is Chiang Kai-shek's pig-like teammate. Fighting a war cannot be fought on the basis of will, but requires strategy and excellent military qualities. Therefore, I think that Chiang Kai-shek's level of playing with power is indeed quite high, but his military command ability, including the ability to employ people, is really not good.
Commanding and fighting a war is a military art, which can fully reflect the military ability and strategic level of a general. However, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the command level of the decision-making level and senior generals of the national army was too timid, and there was nothing remarkable in operational command, let alone command art at all, which was really a shame for the descendants of the military saint and the oriental strategy! And in the defense of Nanjing, this kind of command error reached the extreme!
The entire defense of Nanjing was blindly defended by relying on existing positions and favorable terrain, and the tactics were extremely rigid. The Nanjing defenders originally lacked combat effectiveness, firepower, and troops, but they wanted to cover all aspects, and deployed their small forces in two campaign defense zones: the outer positions were on the "four mountains" line; The outer position of the complex position is on the first line of Shogunate Mountain, Wuxiao Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai and Niushou Mountain, and the inner position is the Ming city wall of Nanjing. At the beginning, 3 corps were deployed in the peripheral positions and 1 corps in the complex positions. Although this deployment was later made up, because the defensive front was too wide and the actual strength was too small, the result was that the fortifications everywhere were weak everywhere, and there was a large gap between them, so that the Japanese army could easily carry out detours, intersperses, and infiltration. Sun Tzu said, "If you are all-encompassing, you will be all-encompassing." It refers to this phenomenon of trying to cover all aspects with troops.
Sun Tzu emphasized: "Soldiers, treacherous ways." "To fight a war, we must attack them unprepared and take them by surprise." "The defense of Nanjing was so dull in command, without any use of wisdom and the art of war, in my opinion, the consequences are unimaginable!"
Xiao Shanling's words couldn't help but make Xiao Jian fall in love with him, and it seemed that Xiao Shanling's military cultivation was no worse than Tang Shengzhi. It's a pity that he only has more than 10,000 gendarmes in his hands. Lacks the right to command large corps in battle. Xiao Jian said: "Why didn't the commander tell the chairman what he thought? ”
"He's a headmaster, a military strategist, and he won't listen to me. We won't talk about that. ”
Xiao Shanling said: "Xiao Jian, now your task is to kill Tang Jun, Tang Jun is heinous, he must die!" This time, you can only succeed, not fail! This Tang Jun is too destructive for us. He must be eliminated! I've given you this task, and you're sure to complete it! You need manpower, we have the gendarmerie, and the gendarmerie will cooperate with you fully. Ask people for people, ask for cars for cars. Are there any difficulties? ”
"No, the task will be completed." Xiao Jian knew that this was the first task since the formation of the military command group. Xiao Jian is confident that he will be able to kill Tang Jun! The six people in the military command group all have unique skills, as long as Tang Jun is in Nanjing, he will definitely not be able to run! Xiao Jian said confidently: "Give me two days, and I will bring Tang Jun's head to see you!" ”
"Good! I'll just wait for your words! Xiao Shanling said happily: "I am waiting for your good news!"
Xiao Jian immediately gathered the six members of the military command team and explained the secret killing task.
