Chapter 138: What a Misunderstanding!
Walking out of the headquarters of the teaching corps in the city, Hu Biao also knew that this meeting was not pleasant at all. But Hu Biao still believes that as long as Gui is really not stupid, he should know what he needs to do next.
Although there were many straw bag generals who were 'incompetent and killed the whole army' in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were still many patriotic generals who could sing and cry. Gui Rate can really be the captain of the teaching team, if it is a straw bag, I am afraid it is unlikely.
Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven! Standing in front of the command department, Hu Biao's real feelings about the meeting on this trip. He has already done what he should do, said what he should say, and he can't interfere with the rest of the things, so he can only resign himself to fate.
Chen Gongshu, who ran out with him, also said with a wry smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Hu, why bother!" ”
"No way! Who called Hu to have such a temper by nature! I am tired of Director Chen to guide the way, and I should also take my brothers out to find little devils to practice. Born to work hard, I can't control my temper when I'm idle! ”
Hu Biao, who spread his hands and smiled, had no opinion on Chen Gongshu, who acted as the middleman. If you want to stay in Jinling City for a period of time in the later stage, you will inevitably need to use a local snake like Chen Gongshu, so you naturally need to give the other party some face.
Returning to the place where Xu Sandao and the others had been settled before, looking at the soldiers who had finished eating and were maintaining their weapons, Hu Biao also felt very relieved. No matter what choice the other anti-war forces make, at least these soldiers under his command will move forward.
"Brothers, have you eaten well?"
"Eat! Battalion commander, how was the conversation with the general? ”
"This is a major event of the military aircraft, how can you ask at will! Don't be so curious, it's better to squint for a while! Director Chen, I sent a brother who is familiar with the terrain around the Purple Mountain to take us there to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. ”
Upon hearing this, Chen Gongshu was also very surprised: "Brother Hu, don't you rest?" ”
"Guns are blaring outside, how are we sleeping? Rest assured! When I can't hold on, I'll rest. Right now, time is pressing, please help me more. In addition, there is something else, please ask my brother to help more! ”
"My brother, why be so polite, please say something, as long as Chen does what he can, he will do his best!"
"Good! The piece of information I said earlier is not a lie. Before coming to Jinling, I captured an infantry wing under the command of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army. Among the trophies captured, I seized the notes of the commander of the infantry wing.
This piece of information was recorded in the notebook by the commander of the infantry wing. At that time, I didn't care too much about chasing the escaped little devils. On the way here, I realized the importance of this piece of information.
In fact, whether this information is true or not, we cannot allow this to happen. If you really want to wait for the little devil to capture Jinling and kill in the city, what kind of face will my generation of soldiers have to see Jiangdong's fathers! ”
"I'll report this information to the bureau in the form of a secret message later. But what can we do in the current situation? ”
Regarding the information provided by Hu Biao, Chen Gongshu still retains a skeptical attitude. But he also understands that this kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 just in case. If the information is true, then the end of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians stranded in Jinling at this moment can be imagined.
Once the Japanese army wantonly slaughtered the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War, it would inevitably shock the whole country and even the world. The problem is that at this moment, the national government, which can't even keep the capital, has just as little to say in the international arena!
Although he has the heart to do something, as the person in charge of the military command who stayed in Jinling, there are really not many people available to Chen Gongshu!
Fortunately, Hu Biao also knew the difficulties of the military commander, and quickly said: "Brother, whether you can do it or not is one thing, and whether you do it or not is another thing." As long as we spread the news, I believe that many people in the city will find a way to escape from Jinling.
Second, through the channels of the military command, we should publicize this matter as soon as possible so that more people can know about it. If possible, send someone to contact the foreigners in the city who have not yet fled, let them know about it, and find a way to spread the word.
If my battle plan succeeds and General Gui seizes the opportunity, as soon as the opening is opened to leave the city, I will immediately notify the prepared people to evacuate. The troops that break through and retreat one after another will also provide cover as much as possible.
Perhaps this escape route will not avoid death and injury, but it is better than staying in the city and waiting for death. As long as you can escape Jinling alive, you will always have a chance to come back in the future. At least you and I should firmly believe that China will not perish! ”
Thinking of a song sung by the head of the regiment Xie Jinyuan when he was in the Sixing Warehouse, Hu Biao knew that this song also inspired countless soldiers and civilians to resist the war. And there is a lyric in it, that is, the Chinese nation will not die!
Just when Hu Biao was discussing with Chen Gongshu how to deal with the possible massacre crisis, Hu Minyi, who was in charge of vigilance, said vigilantly: "Battalion commander, there is a troop outside, there are hundreds of people, and they are coming towards us with loaded guns and ammunition!" ”
"Are you sure you're coming towards us?"
"Yes!"
"Order the troops to be on alert! I'd like to see what they mean! ”
Chen Gongshu, who heard the news, was also stunned and said, "It's impossible!" Brother Hu, don't be impatient, I'll go out and have a look first! Don't worry, this is the intelligence station of the military commander stationed in Jinling, and no one dares to trespass without my permission. ”
Chen Gongshu, who knew that Dai Li admired Hu Biao very much, also felt gloomy when he learned that some troops were coming towards the Military Command Liaison Office. In his opinion, this is a slap in the face of the military commander, making him, the director, embarrassed in front of Hu Biao!
When Chen Gongshu led the military commander's action team and stood directly in the street in front of the door, the unit that came to the liaison office was quickly ordered to stop advancing. The two officers at the front of the line also quickly ran over.
Looking at the people running over, Chen Gongshu said with an unhappy face: "Lieutenant Liu, what do you want to do?" Do you want to come to the military command to arrest people? ”
The person who ordered the troops to stop advancing and came to salute and say hello was none other than Liu Quan, the commander of the first company of the guards, who was ordered to bring people over to obey Hu Biao's command. Facing Chen Gongshu's grim expression, Liu Quan also knew that there might be a misunderstanding.
hurriedly said: "Chief Chen, misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding!" On the orders of the commander-in-chief, he led a company of guards to report to Lieutenant Colonel Hu. Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Hu say earlier that he was going to the Purple Mountain position? We're here to help! ”
"Help? Liu Quan, you should know that this is not a joke. ”
"How dare you! If the commander does not believe him, he can also contact the captain. We are really here to report to Lieutenant Colonel Hu! ”
"Wait a minute! Your previous actions have already misunderstood Lieutenant Colonel Hu. Explain to him when I go in, you stay outside without my permission. Don't you know, send someone over in advance to inform you? ”
"Sir, it's a poor consideration of the lowly position, the previous captain strictly ordered the lowly position, and the lowly position was afraid of making a mistake, so he hurriedly brought the team over!"
After explaining with a wry smile, Chen Gongshu hurriedly returned to the liaison office and told Hu Biao about the situation. After listening, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "This General Gui is really acting a little unexpected!" Cooperate? It can't be surveillance, right? ”
"Probably not! Brother Hu, to put it mildly, you have already registered in front of the commission, and he personally promoted you to lieutenant colonel, plus the bureau seat attaches great importance to you. No matter how unbearable General Gui is, he doesn't dare to do anything to you! ”
Hearing this, Hu Biao smiled self-deprecatingly: "So, I still have a gold medal for avoiding death?" ”
"You wait a little longer, I'll talk to General Gui on the phone now, and ask him what he means. Even if I, the head of the military command, have less power than him. But he really dares to slap our Jinling military commander in the face, and I won't let him have a good time! ”
Chen Gongshu, who said this, dialed the phone number of Gui Shuzhen's headquarters in front of Hu Biao. When the phone was connected, Gui Tanzhen, who was discussing the breakout plan, quickly came over to answer the phone and briefly explained the matter.
Even in the end, Gui Shuzhen took the initiative to ask for a phone call with Hu Biao, and when Hu Biao took the phone, Gui Shuzhen said: "Brother Hu, don't blame Gui for not being attentive before. It's just that Gui is afraid of being entrusted with the trust, and his words and emotions are a little anxious.
The guards were sent to the elder brother in a row, hoping to help the elder brother. On the Purple Mountain, I have already sent a telegram earlier, and they will closely cooperate with your actions, hoping that my brother can help and rescue the brothers trapped there.
As you said before, we have to work well with each other to reverse the current unfavorable situation. Earlier, I had informed the commanders of all the units in the city to come to me for a meeting to discuss the plan for the breakout immediately.
Whether you can break through successfully this time depends on whether you can open up the situation on the side of Purple Mountain. There, the Japanese deployed heavy troops to besiege the defensive positions of our 3rd Brigade. Once the Japanese army is allowed to control the Purple Mountain, Jinling is really in danger! ”
To make a general say such a thing is enough to show that Gui Rate is really not simple. In fact, how many people can become generals are simple? Regarding Gui Rate's explanation, Hu Biao didn't pay too much attention to it.
even said very directly: "General Gui said this, Hu is ashamed!" Since General Gui has a heart, Hu can't help but be uplifted. It's just a battle, and there will inevitably be accidents. When those brothers were injured, I hope General Gui will understand! ”
"It doesn't matter! Since Gui will hand over a company to you, their life and death will be entrusted to you in the future! ”
Such a crisp and neat answer also made Hu Biao truly understand that the generals of this era may cherish the lives of their subordinates. But when it really takes their subordinates to make sacrifices for the sake of the war, these generals can also become ruthless.
The so-called 'one general achieves ten thousand bones', and a soft-hearted person is indeed not suitable to be a general. Especially in the war years, if you want to become a qualified military general, you must learn to face those cold casualty figures calmly.
At this point, maybe Hu Biao really needs to learn from generals like Gui Tanzhen. Fortunately, Hu Biao knows that when he really has to do it, he will also become hard-hearted. But he hoped that he would not disappoint the soldiers who followed him!
