Chapter 17: Jiang Haoran's Uncle
Jiang Haoran had just revealed his danger, and the Wuhan camp, the official residence of the chairman of the committee, ushered in the joy of the first regiment of the Wuhan battle. Knowing that Dai Lia was coming, the chairman of the committee got up in a hurry in a nightgown, and wore two cloth slippers backwards. Before the person comes out, the voice comes first.
"Yu Nong is here, have you found out the enemy's intentions?"
"Well, good news, Chairman! It has now been ascertained that the reason why the Japanese army contracted was that in the evening of yesterday, an artillery shell was fired at the Dajianshan position west of Ruichang of our army, which directly hit Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke of the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, and Yoshika Ryosuke was killed on the spot. ”
"What? There is such a thing, good, good, good death! The chairman of the committee shouted three hellos in a row, and his joy was overflowing. But then I seemed to remember something, and there was another doubt in the joy.
"No, Yu Nong! The position west of Ruichang had been lost the day before yesterday, so how could it be that the officers and men of our army fired artillery shells yesterday evening? ”
"It's true! Yesterday, before the change of the Japanese army, the cipher code was immediately replaced. I found the first telegram sent by the 9th Division of the Japanese Army to the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army and confirmed the authenticity of the telegram. Secondly, when the 31st Group Army retreated the day before yesterday, one company was left in Xiaojianshan and Zhangjiayan, and one regiment was left in Zhangshuyan to cover the evacuation. Originally, they could have retreated in turn under the cover of a regiment of "Zhangshuyan", but the covering troops of "Zhangshuyan" and "Zhangjiayan" directly broke and fled, resulting in the retreat of Xiaojianshan being cut off by the Japanese army??????" Speaking of which, Dai Li suddenly realized that he had made a mistake by saying something for a while. Everyone knows that the commander-in-chief of the 31st Group Army is Tang Enbo, and Tang Enbo is Lao Chiang's most relied on right-hand man. As soon as his mind moved, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. After glancing at it, he found that Lao Jiang had no different color, so he let go of his snack a little: "It has been ascertained that the one battalion and one company of the 3rd Regiment of the 89th Division of our army are guarding the Dajianshan position, and the company commander is Captain Jiang Haoran, who graduated from the 11th Infantry Section of Huangpu.
"Jiang Haoran?" The chairman of the committee seemed to be thoughtful, but then said with a straight face: "Yunong, this is the top general of the Japanese army that I have killed since the Anti-Japanese War, and I will immediately inform the world of this great news." Inform the news media throughout the country. Organize and provide information on all aspects to restore the brutality of the battle and the reliability of the facts as much as possible. At the same time, their commendations were announced, and the officers and men of the whole company were promoted to three ranks, and the awards of 500 silver dollars were doubled for the commanders. Another: Immediately dispatch capable agents to rescue them, and announce the progress of the rescue at any time. They are our heroes, and we can't let them fall. ”
The chairman's order made the murderous Dai Li, feel a little chill. Lao Jiang He wants to build Jiang Haoran into a high-profile combat hero, and announce the rescue progress at any time, so that all the people's eyes will be focused on Jiang Haoran, and then let Jiang Haoran's death further stimulate the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm. Commendation, it is estimated that no one can enjoy this vanity. rescue, and also announced the progress of the rescue. This is tantamount to providing intelligence to the Japanese army in disguise. The devils are not so kind, they will let go of a culprit who killed one of their lieutenant generals? This is the face and wrist of a politician.
At this time, Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, appeared at the door.
"The report commission, the Central Daily forwarded a telegram and a war press release from Nanshan."
As soon as he heard the news from Nanshan, the chairman of the committee looked grim, took two steps forward to take the materials in Wang Shihe's hand, and eagerly checked them.
I saw that the chairman's eyes gradually appeared, his face flushed, and then his whole body began to tremble, and finally he roared with his hands to the sky. It only shocked the people in the room.
"Great! Great! Great! Our party and country have such talents, why worry about the immortality of the Japanese slaves. Look! Check it out, y'all! Jiang Haoran, with the strength of one person and a big knife, killed a team of more than 70 thieves, leaving no one behind. Before leaving, he also used the enemy's cannon to shoot a hateful cannonball at the enemy group. What heroism, what magnificence! Don't think about it, Ryosuke Yoshika must have died under his shell. Publicity, rain farmer, go and handle this matter quickly, don't delay for a moment, invite all foreign reporters, the scene must be warm, I will order Chen Bui to assist you.
This excellent politician has not given up the idea of squeezing the last bit of value out of Jiang Haoran, but has allowed him to see greater results. Sacrificing a person, although this person is capable, as long as he can change the situation of low and decadent anti-Japanese sentiment of the whole people, it is not a pity in his opinion. At this point, he needed such a person or such a victory so much.
Dai Li left, and the chairman picked up the teacup and blew the tea leaves on it, and took a sip pleasantly. When he looked up and saw Wang Shihe holding Nanshan's telegram, he smiled heartily.
"Shihe, I know what you want to say? You want to say that Jiang Haoran's telegram mentioned 'preventing the enemy from attacking Daya Bay in Guangzhou', right? To say that Jiang Haoran is a really good young man, aside from his individual ability, it is really commendable for a small captain company commander to have such a sense of the overall situation or strategic vision. However, it is still a little green, the Japanese army is trying to go all out to conquer Wuhan at this time, how can it be possible to divide the troops and move to Guangzhou, regardless of one or the other? ”
"Commission, what I want to say is not this, don't you remember Jiang Haoran?"
"Hmm!" The chairman of the committee seemed to think for a while: "When I first heard this name, I also felt familiar, what?" Have I seen him? ”
Wang Shihe sighed lightly, as if he had mustered up his courage: "He is the son of Uncle Zhiwu." ”
The teacup in the hand of the chairman of the committee has already landed. "What? What do you say?"
"Jiang Haoran is the second son of Uncle Zhiwu, three years ago, I was ordered by you to visit his old man's home, and he asked me to do something with him, that is, to arrange the two brothers Haoran and Haotian into the Whampoa Military Academy. Because he felt that his two sons were too flamboyant and competitive, and that they needed to be sharpened in order to become talents, we were not allowed to tell him about their relationship with you, nor were we allowed to help him secretly. After I came back, I enrolled them according to your instructions, Haoran was in the infantry department, and Haotian was in the artillery department. After graduation, Haoran went to the 89th Division, Haotian went to the teaching corps, Haotian disappeared in the defense of Nanjing, I inquired no news, it is estimated that he has been killed. ”
"Yes! I should have thought of it! Except for my brother Wenxuan, who can educate such an excellent son, I should have thought of it a long time ago! The chairman muttered, his expression was lonely, and his thoughts seemed to be far away.
Jiang Zhiwu is the cousin of the chairman, and no one knows this secret except Wang Shihe, not even Madame Jiang. Jiang Zhiwu left home as a teenager, there was no news for more than ten years, and his family thought he was not alive, but one day he suddenly came back, with his daughter-in-law and a baby, but his parents had already died at that time. At that time, the chairman of the committee was thirteen years old, and his father died of illness four years ago, but because of his poor family, he had no money to handle the funeral of his deceased father. Therefore, the chairman of the committee has always been grateful to Jiang Zhiwu. In fact, the chairman of the committee has only met his cousin once. For his understanding, in addition to his family's evaluation, 'civil and military affairs are the best neighbors', and then he has dabbled in some correspondence in the past few years. I only know that he has been working in a secret department of the Qing Dynasty government, and he went to Xiangtan for a secret mission that he called absurd. There were too many broken things in the Qing Dynasty, and because Jiang Zhiwu was crowned as "absurd", the chairman didn't ask much.
Now it is his nephew who has made great achievements in front of the battle, which really makes him happy and worried. The chairman of the committee loves talents, and everyone knows that he values his hometown, and there are many generals who are from Fenghua, but there are few outstanding ones. And this nephew who was born out of nowhere at this time will definitely be the most dazzling star in time, and he will also become his closest and most powerful general. But now this nephew is in a desperate situation.
