Chapter 32: Jiang's Shock!
Wuhan Provisional Government
Chairman Chiang was anxious about the defeat in various parts of the Battle of Nanjing, and since the defeat in the Battle of Nanjing, the battle reports submitted by his subordinates were full of bad news, which made Chairman Chiang very annoyed.
When these individuals usually want equipment and military salaries one by one, their hands are stretched longer than anyone else, and once they encounter a war, they will drop the chain at a critical moment, and they are all useless!
What annoyed Chairman Chiang even more was that if he couldn't resist the Japanese army in the Battle of Nanjing, it was because his skills were inferior, and Chairman Chiang was angry, but he would not blame others, but this defeat was all because of his own people!
"Mother, Xipi! This Sun Yuanliang actually left his post without permission and escaped from the battle, resulting in the complete collapse of my Nanjing battlefield front! There is also this Tang Shengzhi, who did not have the slightest discipline when retreating, which caused half of the troops of the Republic of China to be blocked in Nanjing, which is really hateful! ”
Chairman Jiang looked at the battle report presented, trembled with anger, threw the document in his hand on the ground, and said angrily.
The defeat on the Nanjing battlefield led to the loss of a lot of the elite of the Republic of China, and some troops were stranded in Nanjing City, surrounded by Japanese regiments, and it can be said that there was basically no way to survive.
How can Chairman Chiang not be angry!
"Please calm your anger!" At this time, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard who was standing aside, persuaded and said: "Please forgive me for talking too much, there is no point in dwelling on these now!" The top priority at the moment should be to organize the troops as soon as possible and deploy heavy troops in the Xuzhou area to block the pace of the Japanese attack! ”
"Commission, the Japanese army's wolf ambitions, a mere Nanjing will definitely not satisfy them, they are now urgently transporting troops, it is obvious that they want to try to annihilate us in one fell swoop!"
"The Japanese army has occupied Shanghai and Nanjing, and then they only need to go south along the Jinpu line, Xuzhou is in danger, and if Xuzhou is lost, Wuhan will not be safe!"
Wang Shihe said with serious analysis.
Although he is a chief of guard, he still has strategic thinking.
He graduated from the first infantry section of the Whampoa Military Academy, the sixth special class of the Army University, and the general school class of the Central Training Corps.
He also led the deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Army and the deputy commander of the 76th Army.
Even Wang Shihe can understand the situation, how can Chairman Chiang not know?!
He just couldn't suppress his anger, and the Nanjing fiasco could be said to have caused most of the elite of the Republic of China to lose.
And precisely because Nanjing was defeated so quickly, Chairman Chiang did not even have the ability to organize troops to resist the Japanese army in Xuzhou.
The forces that Chairman Chiang was able to mobilize were consumed in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and it was tantamount to a fool's dream to rely on the remaining people to resist the fierce attack of the Japanese army in Xuzhou.
And if you want to mobilize troops from other places, it will take time!
But what Chairman Chiang lacks now is precisely time!
Chairman Chiang did not expect that Nanjing would be defeated so quickly! Chairman Chiang also did not expect that the loss of troops would be so great!
That's what led to such an embarrassing situation!
"I don't know what you're talking about, but now that I'm losing everywhere, I'm afraid that some people from the outside world will say that I don't support the War of Resistance!"
"Internal and external troubles are really difficult times!" Chairman Jiang sighed and said with some depression.
Just when Chairman Jiang was still sulking, Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, walked in with a box and a happy face: "Commission, good news!" Great news! ”
"It's Yu Nong!" Seeing that it was Dai Li, Chairman Jiang's expression softened a little, and he cordially shouted Dai Li's expression.
This director of the military command is his Jiang someone's glasses and ears, and he is his confidant! Chairman Chiang trusted him very much.
Seeing Dai Li's face of joy, he couldn't help asking: "Yunong, now this situation is full of news of defeats, where is the good news!" ”
"It's really good news! This time, our Republic of China can raise its eyebrows and exalt a lot! Dai Li knew that the chairman of the committee was very irritable now and wanted to solve one or two problems.
But now the situation in various places is at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to find good news.
As a result, who would have thought that at this time, Dai Li suddenly got a piece of news, which immediately made Dai Li overjoyed.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Dai Li immediately came to Chairman Chiang's office, wanting to make Chairman Jiang happy.
Dai Li didn't talk nonsense, he directly opened the box in his hand, took out the contents inside, carefully spread them out on the table, and said to Chairman Jiang: "Bench, look what this is!" ”
When the chairman of the committee looked at it, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.
"This ...... It's ......"
The chairman of the committee said in surprise that he couldn't even say anything!
"The 114th Division of the Japanese Army has the flag of the 115th Wing!" Dai Lian said with a smile.
"Where did this come from?" Chairman Jiang couldn't help but ask.
Of course, he knew that the military flag of the little devil was difficult to obtain at all, but now there was a living Japanese army flag in front of him, which made the chairman feel like he was in a dream.
If he remembered correctly, the main attack of the 114th Division was in the direction of Purple Mountain and Zhonghua Gate.
And how could the wing flag of the 114th Wing under the jurisdiction of the 115th Division be captured by our side? Didn't the 88th Division stationed at Zhonghua Gate evacuate in defeat!
But why is this flag here?
Chairman Jiang is a little confused!
The meaning of the flag of the Little Devil United is also understood by Chairman Jiang! But it is precisely because I understand it that I know its weight.
Sometimes even if a wing of the Japanese army is completely annihilated, a wing flag cannot be captured, but how did this wing flag come about? Could it be that there is a certain position that has won a big victory?
But why didn't he know?!
Just when Chairman Jiang was still speculating because of shock, Dai Li said with a smile: "Commission, you may not believe it when you say it!" When I heard about it, I couldn't believe it! ”
"Tell me, what's going on?"
The chairman asked impatiently, he just wanted to know the reason for the incident urgently.
"That's right!" Dai Li cleared his throat and organized his language, and then said: "Our army was defeated and retreated in the defense of Nanjing, and everywhere was evacuating, and the first battalion of the 527th Regiment of the 246th Brigade under the 88th Division stationed at the Zhonghua Gate position in Nanjing had suffered heavy losses and was ready to evacuate!" ”
"As a result, who would have thought that they would perceive the weakness of the Japanese army, and with less than one battalion, a mere 200 people counterattacked and annihilated the 115th Wing of the Japanese Army, and captured this Wing Flag!"
Dai Li briefly told the chairman of the committee about the matter, but when he heard this, the chairman was shocked and incredulous.
Two hundred people counterattacked and annihilated a wing of the Japanese army?
Are you sure it's not the other way around?
You must know that a wing of the Japanese army has four infantry field brigades under its command, totaling more than 4,000 people.
But a mere battalion annihilated a wing of more than 4,000 people?
This disparity in strength is tenfold, okay?
The chairman really can't believe what Dai Li said!
However, this wing flag was quietly placed in front of him, which confirmed that what Dai Li said was true, so that Chairman Jiang had to believe it!
