4-31 Hold out for another two weeks

"Commander Tan, what are you going to do?" In the East China Theater Command, Dongfang Yunming asked Tan Xiaolin. He had just arrived, and he met Wu Hao, deputy director of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission, at the entrance of the headquarters, and the two entered the headquarters together. After seeing Tan Xiaolin, Dongfang Yunming's first sentence asked Tan Xiaolin like this.

"What to do?" Tan Xiaolin didn't know why.

"I mean Sun Yuanliang."

"Oh, he......" Tan Xiaolin said, "Originally, I wanted to shoot him directly, but now I have changed my mind, removed from my post, and handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs for processing, Sun Yuanliang is Chiang Kai-shek's descendant, I will throw this ball back to Lao Chiang, how he likes to deal with it, anyway, he can't stay in the 71st Army to mislead me." ”

Hearing this, Wu Hao smiled: "So, I'm here to mention people today." ”

"Huh? Chiang Kai-shek handed over his lineage to the Red Party? Tan Xiaolin asked.

"Chairman Jiang is not so selfless." Wu Hao said with a smile, "All the institutions of the Nanjing Military Commission have all moved to Wuhan, didn't General Dongfang also come from Wuhan?" Now only I, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the office of our party are left in Nanjing, and since you have reported this matter to the Central Military Commission, then I am the only one who will take people away. ”

"It's better to throw this hot potato to Chiang Kai-shek." Dongfang Yunming said, "The 87th and 88th divisions under the 71st Army are all the German Armament Division of the Central Army, the descendants of Lao Jiang, and now in addition to the 78th Army in the East China Theater, the strongest combat power is more than 80,000 Central Army. Therefore, Lao Jiang's people are handed over to him to discipline himself, and I think Lao Jiang may not dare to be too partial to his descendants at this time. ”

Tan Xiaolin and Wu Hao both nodded, and then Tan Xiaolin asked, "Eh, you flew all the way from Wuhan, won't you just tell me about this?" ”

"Of course not, I met Mr. Wu at the entrance of the headquarters, and he told me about Sun Yuanliang." Dongfang Yunming said, "I came here to ask your opinion on an important matter, go to your office and say, Vice Minister Zhou will also discuss it together." ”

"Okay." Wu Hao promised that the forces of the southwest faction had always been very close to the Red Party, and there were some things that neither side wanted Chiang Kai-shek to know, but they would communicate with each other.

"What's the matter?" The three of them entered Tan Xiaolin's small office, and Tan Xiaolin closed the door and asked.

Dongfang Yunming thought for a while and asked: "Now that the Jiangyin Fortress is gone, how long do you think Nanjing can hold out, I'm talking about peripheral battles, not including street battles." ”

Tan Xiaolin didn't answer immediately, thought for about half a minute, and said: "Judging from the current situation of the enemy and us, the outer battle in Nanjing should last for another week, if the river fleet destroys Tsuda Shizue's two ball mill light cruisers, then the time of the outer line battle can be extended to about 10 days, and the biggest problem we are facing now is that the Japanese army's air superiority is getting bigger and bigger, and the casualties of our ground troops exposed to Japanese bombers are getting worse day by day." ”

"If I transfer three more antiaircraft artillery regiments and two regiments of 'sandstorms,' and then contact the New Fourth Army to increase the scale and frequency of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, can you find a way to hold out for two weeks, and within two weeks, ensure the safety of the Nanjing Colonel Airport."

Wu Hao said: "On the side of the New Fourth Army, it should be no problem to make it bigger. ”

"Then holding on for two weeks shouldn't be a big problem, what are you going to do?" Tan Xiaolin asked.

Dongfang Yunming said: "This is the case, the Nationalist Government moved its capital to Wuhan, and officials at all levels are now inclined to the so-called 'peace talks' and the call is getting louder and louder, especially Wang Zhaoming, who was recently removed from the post of president of the Executive Yuan by Chiang Kai-shek because of his opposition to resistance, the central government is not very stable, and the first 'low-key club' has also appeared recently." In view of the current fluctuation of people's hearts in China and the certain shortage of various materials, we agreed after talking with Chiang Kai-shek that it is now necessary to take the initiative to win international support for our war of resistance, so next month, the two sisters, Soong Ching-ling and Soong Mei-ling, are preparing to visit the United States to win the support of the United States. ”

"Strategy is a good strategy, but it should make no difference to the United States whether Nanjing guards for a few more days or a few days less." Wu Hao said.

"Of course, the Battle of Nanking itself is not the point." Dongfang Yunming explained, "The point is that the Air Force needs enough time to complete a large-scale reconnaissance operation." We went to the diplomatic corps in the United States and persuaded Roosevelt that it was very simple, that Roosevelt was a man who understood, and he knew what it meant to support China. But even if Roosevelt wanted to aid China, it needed to be approved by Congress, and the old men in the US Congress have been clinging to 'isolationism' since the world war, and they want to move them, unless they ......"

"Unless they understand that Japan is plotting to compete with the United States for dominance in the Pacific, and that Japan not only has this thief's heart, but also has this thief's courage, and is stepping up preparations for war with the United States." Tan Xiaolin continued.

"That's right." Dongfang Yunming said, "In order to convince the U.S. Congress that Japan is a threat to them, we need to provide evidence to convince the Americans, and the intelligence of the plum blossom internal guard shows that the Japanese Navy has begun to expand its strength dramatically since the 'naval holiday', and now they have seven fleet aircraft carriers under construction in their dock, and two 70,000-ton super battleships are under construction, and the hull of the first one has been basically completed, and the superstructure and weapons are being outfitted." However, these are just intelligence, the Americans may not necessarily believe it, it is best to have aerial photographs to prove it, this matter, only the reconnaissance plane of the first detachment of the 863 Air Force can complete it, although Xuzhou has not yet fallen, but the airport has been destroyed by the Japanese army, the reconnaissance plane takes off from Hefei is too long, can only take off from Nanjing, in order to complete the aerial reconnaissance of the Japanese mainland, and because the distance from Nanjing to Japan is not short, so Ye Cunxin estimates that the time of the reconnaissance operation will take two weeks. ”

Tan Xiaolin thought for a while and said: "I understand, I will definitely find a way to ensure that the two airports of Daxiao and Jinling can be used within two weeks." ”

Dongfang Yunming said: "Okay, the 'sandstorm' is a vehicle-mounted mobility, after the ammunition is exhausted, the launch box is abandoned, the launcher is removed, the truck chassis can be used to transport soldiers and materials to retreat, the new anti-aircraft artillery regiment will be equipped with the latest 100mm anti-aircraft gun and the latest VT fuse, and when the final retreat, all the ammunition is exhausted, and the anti-aircraft artillery can be taken away, and if it can't be taken away, it will be blown up." ”

Tan Xiaolin nodded, although the performance of this 100mm anti-aircraft gun (performance reference PLA's Type 59 100mm anti-aircraft gun) is much better than that of the German-made Flak18 anti-aircraft gun, she is very reluctant to blow it up, but she can't take it away when she retreats, and it definitely can't be left to the Japanese.

"Commander!" Sun Liren knocked on the door and came in, and said eagerly, "The Army Aviation Brigade has brought Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin back. ”

"How are the two of them, where are they now?" Dongfang Yunming immediately asked.

The two of them are now in the general hospital of the war zone, Le Yiqin injured his leg, and Liu Cuigang was burned on his body, which is not life-threatening. But ......"

"But what?" Tan Xiaolin asked.

"The hospital said that the two of them must not be able to fly again."

Wu Hao said: "The hero comes back alive is more important than anything else. Several people nodded.
