Your kid is now more famous than Lao Tzu's......" Gu Zhenlong sneered, "It's like stinky rotten meat, and a fly wants to target two bites......"

Fang Buwei directly took Gu Zhenlong's ridicule as a deaf ear.

In fact, Gu Zhenlong was still very pleased with Fang Buwei's decision.

As a soldier, killing the enemy on the battlefield and defending the country is the right way, what kind of official is he going to be?

After dealing with Gu Zhenlong, Fang Buwei ran back to the secret service.

Ma Chunfeng was not surprised by Fang Buwei's decision, he had expected it a long time ago.

Ma Chunfeng's only worry was that he was afraid that Fang would not quit his job with the secret service.

He believes that only by staying in the secret service can Fang Buwei raise the pattern and deterrence of the secret service to a higher level, and it is also extremely beneficial to Fang Buwei himself.

With money in one hand and a knife in the other, who doesn't stutter, and who doesn't be afraid?

This is a win-win situation, Ma Chunfeng doesn't believe that Fang Buwei can't see the truth.

With the identity of the director of the Overseas Chinese League, the post of head of the operations section is no longer suitable for Fang Buwei, and Ma Chunfeng even decided to report to the chairman of the committee for approval, and set up another section in the secret service department with Fang Buwei's anti-spy unit as the skeleton, which is responsible for supervision and anti-traitor.

If Fang didn't mean it, the position of section chief would be his.

After hearing Ma Chunfeng's plan, he was as calm as he did nothing, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

It is no wonder that in the future, the military unification committee will become a behemoth, and even the chairman of the committee is worried that the tail will not be lost, and after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, he began to plan to reduce and dismantle.

If Ma Chunfeng has no accident, maybe there will be a storm.

Ma Chunfeng is not only ambitious, but also scheming and far-sighted.

Fang Buwei could probably guess what Ma Chunfeng wanted to do.

He is already thinking about controlling the supervision power of the Kuomintang administrative department and the army?

Supervise internally and supervise externally.

Isn't this the Jinyiwei and the East and West factories in the Ming Dynasty?

Ma Chunfeng's courage is too great.

If this thing is really to be done, with Ma Chunfeng's character, he will definitely have unlimited glory during the war, but after the war, he can only go by apologizing and apologizing for his crimes.

Fang Buwei's brain was spinning fast, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that Ma Chunfeng's plan had a great chance of success.

After the Xi'an Incident, the chairman of the committee did not like anyone, and everyone felt that this person had a bad heart and wanted to harm him, except for Ma Chunfeng.

Ma Chunfeng also saw this loophole, and kept going, deliberately expanding the power of the secret service.

Do you want to do it?

It's a fool not to do it.

Ma Chunfeng is not afraid of offending too many people, and he may die afterwards without a place to be buried, what is there to be afraid of?

If you resign before Japan surrenders, will the enemy be able to chase down the United States or the South Seas?

When you, the hall master of the Four Seas Hall, is a vegetarian?

Fang Buwei stood up violently, and saluted sonorously: "Thank you for the cultivation here, and the humble duty should be the work of dogs and horses, in order to repay the director's cultivation grace......"

Even Fang Bu couldn't remember for himself, how long had it been since he had slapped such a sycophant.

The key is that Ma Chunfeng's temptation this time is too great, and Fang Buwei can't afford to hesitate at all.

Warlord?

As soon as he thought of these three words, Fang Buwei's blood began to boil.

Whoever dares to abandon the army and retreat and flee without a fight, don't blame the gun in Lao Tzu's hand.

When he thought of the defense of Nanjing, Song Yuanliang abandoned his troops and fled, causing the 88th Division, which had no leader and lost all its fighting spirit, to fall into chaos first, thus forming a large-scale rout, resulting in the rout of the whole army, and nearly 50,000 people were killed and captured.

The chairman of the committee really dared to let Ma Chunfeng send himself to supervise the war, and he dared to raise a gun to kill people.

What is a division commander?

At that time, Fang Buwei would dare to kill even Commander Tang......

If the identity of the director of the Overseas Chinese League is still unbearable, it is a big deal to run away.

Isn't it only the Central Army of the Chairman of the National People's Congress that is resisting Japan?

"Good! I was not mistaken! Ma Chunfeng said excitedly.

Immediately, he opened the drawer again, took out a document from it, and slapped it on the table: "I will immediately report to the chairman of the committee for a decision!" ”

Fang Buwei glanced at it.

It turned out that Ma Chunfeng had already prepared it, just waiting for him to agree.

"Commander Gu, I want you to mediate on your behalf!" Ma Chunfeng said again.

Fang Buwei nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Director!" ”

Fang Buwei and he wasn't sure if Gu Zhenlong would agree, but Ma Chunfeng's meaning was very clear, even if he didn't agree, he couldn't let Gu Zhenlong oppose it clearly.

Ma Chunfeng went to the chairman of the committee with the documents, and Fang Buwei went back to the military police headquarters, thinking about penetrating Gu Zhenlong's tone first.

Whether Gu Zhenlong is the commander of the garrison or the supreme commander of the military police sequence, the chairman of the committee will definitely ask him about such a decision.

The gendarmerie sequence is separated from the Ministry of Military Affairs to form an army of its own, and there is even a special military police training school, Gu Zhenlong's status in the army is not much worse than He Yingqing.

After leaving the secret service, Fang Buwei thought of the July Seven Incident three months later, the ensuing Battle of Shanghai, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Nanjing Massacre......

Everything that should be done has been done, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared, but Fang Buwei is not always conscious, he should be able to do something.

Let's start with this Overseer.

As soon as he thought of the defense of Nanjing, Fang Buwei's teeth gritted and gurgled.

If it weren't for Tang Shengzhi and Song Yuanliang, when they retreated, they wouldn't have died so many people.

The 88th Division was originally the main force to hold Nanjing, but in the end it became the fuse for the whole army to break and escape.

In the Battle of Nanjing, Gui Yongqing's teaching corps, Song Yuanliang's 88th Division, and Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division were the most elite.

These three are all German armor divisions, and they are the elite of the elite of the Central Army.

But it backfired, and the prestige of the 88th Division led by Zhang Zhizhong was completely defeated by Song Yuanliang.

In the end of a whole division, less than 500 people survived.

More than 5,000 people, including three brigade commanders and six regiment commanders, did not die in the First Battle of Songhu, nor did they die on the battlefields of the Shanghai Defense Battle and the Nanjing Defense Station, but they died on the way to retreat in a panic and in the Nanjing Massacre.

Tang Shengzhi had just finished arranging the retreat plan, and the division commander Song Yuanliang came out of the conference room, and he didn't even return to the division headquarters, taking a few guards and adjutants, and fled directly?

Escaped......

Even if he knew the ending a long time ago, Fang Buwei still felt that it was too incredible.

It was not until the early morning of the next day, when the shadow of the division commander Song Yuanliang was missing, that the headquarters sent a telegram to the general headquarters to inquire, and only then did it be learned that Song Yuanliang had already run away, and the commander-in-chief Tang Shengzhi had also run away.

When the news reached the division headquarters, the whole army of the 88th Division was in an uproar, and all of them rushed to Xiaguan and began to snatch ships to cross the river.

The 88th Division was like a lit fuse, completely detonating the other troops.

Most of the garrison was thrown into disarray, abandoning their positions and fleeing.

Japanese Ouroboros Pursuit......

In this case, not to mention that the commander's orders are not used, even the bullets of the overseer team are not good.

As if crazy, the rout army rushed to the Xiaguan River, and Song Xilian's 36th Division and Hu Zongnan's First Army, who were in charge of supervising the battle, did not receive Tang Shengzhi's retreat order at all.

The overseers immediately opened fire and stopped the rout on the river bank, just in time to be blocked by the Japanese troops who followed......

Everyone knows that Nanjing is a Jedi and cannot be defended, and the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee knows that he cannot do anything but has to do it, just because he is still holding illusions, and wants Britain and the United States to see the determination of the Nationalist Government to resist Japan, and even more hopes that Britain and the United States and other countries can intervene in mediation......

After the fall of Shanghai, the chairman of the NPC National Committee convened three consecutive high-level meetings within two days to discuss the issue of the defense of Nanjing.

At the first meeting, including He Yingqing, Bai Chongxi, and Gu Zhenlong, they praised Liu Pei, who was also the director of the War Department of the Military Command Department, for his suggestion: You can't stick to Nanjing, you can retreat with symbolic resistance.

The generals attending the meeting suggested that 12 regiments, no more than 18 regiments, and no more than 30,000 troops, should be mobilized, and that all units with strong mobility should be selected, and that all units that had been defeated from Shanghai should be assembled in western Zhejiang, southern Anhui, and other places for rest and recuperation, including the 87th and 88th divisions that had just been withdrawn, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps.

They believe that although these three divisions are elite divisions, they have just experienced a major war, with serious attrition, insufficient weapons, and the defeat and retreat, and the army's morale is extremely unstable......

Some people even suggested that Nanjing citizens could be notified in advance to evacuate......

The Chairman of the Committee did not adopt it at all.

Two days later, the meeting was convened again, and when the chairman of the committee asked about the defense of Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi advocated sticking to it, and the committee member was happy, but Liu Fei still insisted on the original proposal, and the rest of the committee members seconded it.

No decision was made at the meeting, but the chairman's true intentions were already being revealed.

The next day, the chairman of the NPC committee convened the third meeting of senior staff, and without waiting for the chairman to ask questions, Tang Shengzhi again proposed to defend Nanjing, and the chairman clearly agreed.

To this extent, Liu Pei wisely did not object, and the rest of the generals did not say a word.

When the chairman of the committee asked, "Do you think it would be better to send someone to be responsible for holding Nanjing?" ”

Haha, no one answered.

Because except for Tang Shengzhi, the senior generals attending the meeting at that time all thought that this battle should not be fought.

In the end, it was Tang Shengsheng who broke the silence: "Chairman of the Committee, since there is no one to defend it, I am willing to make it difficult, I will definitely defend Nanjing City and live and die with the city!" ”

The chairman of the committee was overjoyed and immediately decided to form the Nanjing Garrison and ordered Tang Shengzhi to be the commander-in-chief of the garrison.

Although the garrison had as many as 14 divisions on paper, it was actually only a little over 100,000, and most of the troops had just participated in the Battle of Songhu and had suffered serious attrition. In terms of weapons, it is even worse.

The chairman of the committee did this to show the international community and local warlords: Who said that I, Chiang Kai-shek, was unwilling to resist Japan?

Lao Tzu even sent the three most elite German mechanics......

At this point, if it is really as the original intention of the chairman of the NPC National Committee, and even more so as Tang Shengzhi said, he is willing to live and die together in Nanjing, it will not lead to the tragedy that follows.

But alas, if only if.

Later military experts believed that in the defense of Nanjing, tens of thousands of soldiers were captured and killed before they could retreat, and the chairman of the committee was hesitant and ordered back and forth to account for 30 percent of the responsibility.

On the evening of 11 December, Tang Shengzhi received an order from Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, to convey the chairman's order to "retreat." In one night, Tang Shengzhi drew up a plan for the retreat and set the time for retreat on the night of 14 December.

But for some reason, early the next morning, when Tang Shengzhi was about to convene a meeting of generals at and above the division level to arrange the retreat task, he received a telegram from the chairman of the committee: You must hold out for more than half a month......

One night, but I received a diametrically opposite telegram?

It was these two contradictory orders that wiped out Tang Shengzhi's few courages.

Tang Shengzhi's responsibility accounts for more than half.

He was indecisive and did not immediately make a decisive plan for retreat, nor did he promptly inform Song Xilian and Hu Zongnan of the orders to retreat outside the city and on the other side of the river, causing these two troops to mistakenly think that the troops crossing the river were fleeing without a fight, and they actually fired directly shots, which further confused the already chaotic army and delayed the opportunity to retreat.

What's more, after Tang Shengzhi issued the retreat plan, he did not have a trace of the consciousness of the main general, but he got on the boat first and escaped, which led to the discouragement of the generals and soldiers later, and the dragons were leaderless, and there was chaos.

On the afternoon of 20 December, the day he received the chairman's second telegram, Tang Shengzhi convened a meeting of generals at and above the division level at the headquarters headquarters to make arrangements for the retreat.

He first explained the situation of the war, and then asked everyone if they thought they could still hold on?

None of the generals at the meeting spoke.

Then Tang Shengzhi showed the order issued by the chairman on the 11th that the camera could be "retreated" and asked everyone how to decide.

No one expressed their opposition to the retreat, so Tang Shengzhi asked everyone to sign the minutes book, saying that they were jointly responsible for the decision to retreat.

Then the evacuation order and the breakout plan drawn up by the General Staff in the early morning of the same day were distributed, and it was decided to advance the retreat to eleven o'clock on the evening of the 12th.

Later historians and military experts believed that Tang Shengzhi's retreat plan was tactically feasible, and that the Japanese army did not have many troops to attack Nanjing, and the encirclement was not tight, so it was the best choice for the main force to break through from the front of the Japanese army.

But the problem is that if the plan can be postponed by two days, there will naturally be no problem in fighting what should be fought, withdrawing when it should be withdrawn, and preparing when it should be prepared.

But the meeting that issued the retreat order was held at 5 p.m., and then the ministries were asked to break out at 11 p.m., and nearly 100,000 people retreated, and the ministries simply did not have time to coordinate.

Tang Shengzhi also did not expect that the generals of the various troops responsible for the garrison of Nanjing did not take him as the commander-in-chief seriously at all, and some even abandoned their troops and fled without authorization, which was also the source of confusion in the retreat of the defense of Nanjing.

The first is Song Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, and the second is Gui Yongqing, commander of the teaching corps.

Needless to say, when Song Yuanliang left the headquarters, he fled with the police officer and adjutant, bought off the bustard, and hid in a brothel......

The remaining 20% of the responsibility is on him, and he is not wronged at all.

Song Yuanliang abandoned the army and fled, it was not a decision he made suddenly.

Before Tang Shengzhi informed him of the meeting, Song Yuanliang secretly led the team directly under the division to retreat to Xiaguan without authorization, trying to cross the river and retreat north.

As a result, he was "dissuaded" by the 36th Division commander Song Xilian's supervision team with a machine gun outside the Rujiang Gate, and had to run back in disgrace.

The herald of the division headquarters met him halfway through.

1. Some of the information and data in this chapter are quoted from the article "The Heroism and Regret of the Battle of Nanjing" written by Yang Xiaochen and Wu Jingyu. Hit the street to explain, it's really not to cheat money, but the Nanjing Massacre can't be described too much, but such an important node, with the position and character of the protagonist, can't be deliberately missed, so we must introduce the background and the plot after development.

To tell the truth, it is much more painful to check the information than to make up the plot, and it is even more procrastinating when you check the information on the street......
