When Chiang Ching-kuo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oops! I heard the news of the Japanese attack on Hainan a few days ago, but I didn't know that there was such a heavy thing there. This weapon is extraordinary, if Hainan falls, won't the arsenal be allowed to the Japanese? ”

Luo Zhuoying also frowned and said: "Jianfeng is right, Zhenyu, you are too careless, once this kind of firearm is used by the Japanese army, it will deal a heavy blow to our anti-Japanese war cause!" ”

Chiang Ching-kuo said to Luo Zhuoying again: "Commander Luo, this matter is very important, do you think it is feasible if we call the central government to send troops, or ask Zhang Fakui to transfer troops to Hainan to resist the Japanese army?" ”

Luo Zhuoying listened and did not speak. In fact, although the Nationalist government now has a large number of troops, most of them are arranged to defend against the Japanese army in the inland provinces. The closest to Hainan were the troops of Zhang Fakui's Fourth Theater of Operations, and they were also being pushed around in the face of the Japanese army in Guangdong and other places, and their defense was still too late, so even if they had the heart, they did not have the extra strength to take care of Hainan at all. What's more, Hainan is a land island hanging off the coast, and the Chinese navy is now in name only, and it is simply not capable of crossing the sea to fight. Otherwise, Hainan and other places would have been the last port blockaded by the Japanese army on China's southeast coast, and the Nationalist Government would have sat idly by and watched it be blockaded by the Japanese army and cut off its own contact with the outside world?

In fact, if you want to say that the reason why Bai Fei chose to build a factory in Hainan at the beginning, it is actually because Hainan is "lonely overseas, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away".

Jiang Jingguo saw Luo Zhuoying's embarrassed face, so he knew that he couldn't do anything, so he sighed heavily.

Seeing this, Bai Fei said on the side: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. To tell you the truth, at the beginning of the establishment of the factory, I arranged some armed personnel to protect the factory in Hainan; In addition, Commander Zhang Fakui of the Fourth Theater also arranged for a brigade to defend long before the Japanese army attacked Hainan. Although the Japanese army is actively attacking Hainan at present, according to the news that came a few days ago, the Japanese army's attack on Haikou has been blocked, and now it can only be transferred to the Sanya area for landing operations, Hainan is not small, and if they want to occupy the entire territory of Hainan, I am afraid it will take some time. ”

After a pause, Bai Fei said again: "In addition, although the defense of Nanchang failed, in general, the war is temporarily over. It will not be of much use for my regiment to stay here now, so I plan to lead my troops to Hainan to resist the Japanese army, and if I am lucky enough to repel the Japanese army, then I can ensure the safety of Hainan and its surrounding areas ------ our last outlet to the sea. I don't know what Commander Luo thinks? ”

Luo Zhuoying didn't speak, but Jiang Jingguo said: "It's so good, if Zhenyu goes to Hainan, he can recover the lost territory and ensure that Hainan is worry-free." ”

Luo Zhuoying said: "I know the efforts and sacrifices made by Zhenyu in Wucheng and other places, and I will report to the commission truthfully." It's just that the regiment directly under the gendarmerie is under the direct leadership of the central government, and the consent of the commission is required to fight in the south. ”

Bai Fei wanted them to say this, he was sure that whether it was Luo Zhuoying or Chiang Ching-kuo, there would be a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek later. As long as Chiang Kai-shek was not determined to target him, I believe that he would definitely agree to his request.

So in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Fei ordered his subordinates to send a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek in his own name, the content of which was not only a brief summary of the gains and losses of Wucheng and other places and the defense line of Xiuhe, but also a request to lead his troops south to Hainan to resist the war.

Soon after the telegram was sent, a telegram was received from Chiang Kai-shek's chamber in Chongqing, and of course, the telegram received not only by Bai Fei, but also by Chiang Ching-kuo and Luo Zhuoying.

However, at this time, Chiang Kai-shek was in a meeting with officials from various departments of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the commanders of several major theaters to discuss the reasons for the failure of the Nanchang Battle and the next battle plan.

Chiang Kai-shek also didn't know which tendon was wrong, and a few days ago he also called the front line to say that "the war is not in Nanchang to gain or lose...", and now the loss of Nanchang is a foregone conclusion, but at the meeting he said in a high-profile manner that he would counterattack Nanchang, believing that "although the Japanese army occupies Nanchang, it has consumed a lot of money, has not yet been reorganized, and the garrison is insufficient, so it has decided to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is not firmly established to hold a counteroffensive..."

Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations, was dumbfounded and confused by Chiang Kai-shek's fickleness, and was depressed in his heart.

However, what made him even more depressed was that Gu Zhutong, the commander of the Third Theater of Operations, who was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general, raised his hands in agreement with Chiang Kai-shek's counteroffensive plan. He said: "The commission is far-sighted, and what he said is very true, as the commission said, the Japanese army has suffered a lot of losses in order to attack Nanchang. Although Nanchang is now occupied, it is insufficient. If the officers and men of the Ninth Theater use their lives, seize the opportunity to first cut off the north-south traffic of the Nanxun Line, and then advance to Nanchang from west to east in turn to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and then order a department to seize Nanchang by means of a surprise attack, then the matter can be done! ”

When Xue Yue heard this, he couldn't wait to stand up and spit on Gu Zhutong's face, and scolded secretly in his heart: Mom sells batches, what kind of thing! What does it mean to "If the soldiers of the Ninth War Zone use their lives?" "Could it be that the soldiers of my ninth war zone are so cowardly in fighting? He had the heart to say two words about this, but when he thought that when the previous Xiuhe defense line collapsed, most of the troops in the Ninth War Zone could indeed be said to be "fleeing from the wind", so he swallowed the words with a red face.

Chiang Kai-shek listened to Gu Zhutong's words, seemed very happy, turned his head to Xue Yue, and asked, "Boling, what is your opinion on this?" ”

Xue Yue thought for a while and said: "Nanchang is between the third and ninth theaters, if it is a counteroffensive, not only needs the cooperation of the third theater, but also has a plan of action. However, I think Commander Gu's proposal is very good, especially what he just said, the proposal to send troops to attack Nanchang is very good. I propose that the task of attracting the main force of the Japanese army from west to east and attacking Nanchang from my Ninth Theater be left to Commander Gu to arrange. ”

When Gu Zhu heard this, his face suddenly changed.

Who is Chiang Kai-shek, he could already hear from the-for-tat words of the two that the two were fighting, so he coughed and said: "The matter of formulating the action plan will be handed over to the Military Commission to complete, and you two need to closely monitor and guard against the movements of the Japanese army in Nanchang at the moment, and at the same time step up the work of preparing for war." ”

After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek looked around at everyone and asked the commanders of several other theaters: "Do you have any other opinions on the plan to counterattack Nanchang?" ”

Where will other people have opinions, anyway, it is not a matter in their own war zone, and they don't have to fight the battle themselves, so they naturally express their support without objection.

Seeing that there was no objection, Chiang Kai-shek announced the adjournment of the meeting after assigning the task.

This is, Lin Wei, who was the director of the chamberlain at the time, walked in with a few telegrams. After Chiang Kai-shek took the telegram and read it, he left Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhi behind, and asked Dai Li to come and discuss the problem in the small conference room.
