After listening to the explanation of the communications staff officer, Ishihara Waner bowed his head to Muto Nobuyoshi with a guilty face and said, "Your Excellency General, the miscalculation of the lowly position, please punish you." ”

Muto Nobuyoshi's angry face turned blue and looked at Ishihara Wan'er, and finally waved his hand impatiently: "Stand down." ”

The battle of Shenyang was already lost, and Noda Bugu failed to break through, which was not all the fault of Ishihara, the mastermind of the scheme.

Although Muto Nobuyoshi was old, he was not confused, and the failure of this retreat could not hide Ishihara's superiority compared to other high-ranking generals of the Imperial Army.

If I could have listened to him earlier, I would not have fought a decisive battle with the Northeast New Army in a place like Shenyang, but would have concentrated my main forces on blockading the Liaodong Peninsula.

Relying on the powerful artillery support of the Navy, the situation of the Kwantung Army would never be so bad now.

Ishihara knew how bad Muto Nobuyoshi was at the moment, so he had to give a military salute, then turned around and left with his saber on his shoulder.

As soon as he walked out of the headquarters, he almost collided head-on with a communications soldier.

Seeing that it was Ishihara Wan'er, the communication soldier hurriedly gathered his feet and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry, please forgive me!" ”

Ishihara didn't care and said, "What's wrong?" So flustered? ”

"The lighthouse was in a hurry, and Sujiatun and the lighthouse were attacked by the Chinese army and could not retreat south." After the signal soldier finished speaking, he said that I still have to report to the commander, and then dodged and walked towards the headquarters.

"Lighthouse? Sujiatun? Ishihara muttered to himself, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and walked towards the headquarters again.

"Your Excellency Commander, the two divisions of Lighthouse and Sujiatun are in danger." Ishihara walked in, and the signal soldier was reporting to Muto Nobuyoshi just now.

"What danger?" Muto Nobuyoshi hadn't finished listening to the report of the communication soldier, and was obviously a little dissatisfied with Ishihara's sudden interruption, and asked.

"The troops of the Chinese army on the south bank of the Hunhe River are desperately attacking the above-mentioned areas, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to contain the withdrawal of our two divisions, to gain time for their main force to cross the river to the south, and finally encircle and annihilate the two divisions of the imperial army." Ishihara explained.

Muto Nobuyoshi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Ishihara-kun, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Ishihara pondered for a moment and said, "General, we should immediately order the 1st and 9th Divisions to go north to receive reinforcements, and at the same time order the lighthouse and Sujiatun troops to break through with all their might at any cost. ”

Ishihara's voice fell, and another signal soldier of the army suddenly ran in in a hurry, and said before saluting: "Your Excellency Commander, Liaoyang is in an emergency, an armored unit of the Northeast Army has suddenly appeared in Liaoyang, and is currently storming Liaoyang City, the situation in Liaoyang is critical, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

Muto Nobuyoshi, Ishihara Waner and the others all changed their faces after hearing this, and Ishihara Waner even slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "It's not good, the Chinese army is also going to completely cut off the way for the imperial army to retreat." ”

"Ishihara-kun, you say, what should we do?" Muto Nobuyoshi nodded approvingly and asked.

"Disperse the breakout." Ishihara Wanerdo.

"Scattered breakout? Ishihara-kun, are you sure? Muto Nobuyoshi was a little surprised.

Ishihara Wan'er nodded seriously and said: "General, it is necessary to disperse and break through, only in this way can these two divisions be able to withdraw as much as possible, you need to know that although the strength of the scattered breakthrough has been greatly reduced, it is impossible for the people of China to annihilate them all." ”

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded in agreement, and immediately said: "Immediately send a telegram to the 8th Division and the 18th Division, disperse and break through, and retreat to Yingkou and other places, and at the same time, the garrisons in Liaoyang, Anshan, and Haicheng will also immediately shrink their forces and prepare to deploy defense at Yingkou." ”

"Hay!" The three devil communication personnel suddenly bowed their heads at the same time, and immediately turned to leave.

"General, it's time to urge the local reinforcements, the 200,000 army may not be all ready, but it shouldn't be a problem to send tens of thousands of new troops, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to hold the Yingjin defense line." After several communications personnel left, Ishihara Wanji suggested to Muto Nobuyoshi:

"In addition to this, we should ask the War Department to ask the Navy Department to send enough naval support to provide sea-based aviation and various artillery groups."

"Well, I will." Muto Nobuyoshi nodded softly.

…………………… The Battle of Fushun has ended, and the Yue army entrenched in the Shenyang area has been annihilated except for a few lucky escapes.

North of Shenyang, Beidaying.

"Commander, this battle of Shenyang, coupled with the results of the battle between Tieling and Xinmin, we have annihilated more than 160,000 people in the Yue army, captured a lot of weapons, but there is not much ammunition, most of them have been exhausted by the little devils.

If we eat up the two divisions of Sujiatun and Lighthouse, the total number of enemies we will destroy in this battle will exceed 200,000, which is definitely an unprecedented victory that China and the two countries have never seen since their existence! Jiang Baili said to Zhang Xinghan very excitedly.

Zhang Xinghan was also very happy, nodded with a smile, and said: "Send electricity to the divisions, immediately cross the river to the south, join the main force of the 1st Division of Reading Force, and eat the two divisions on the opposite bank first." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Baili stepped forward and immediately turned to leave.

It didn't take long for Jiang Baili to turn back with a solemn face.

"Chief of Staff, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a solemn face when he saw him.

"Commander, I just got an urgent report from Deputy Commander Niu of the 1st Division of Reading Force, and the main forces of the lighthouse and Sujiatun have run away."

"Ran away? What does Niu Erzhu do for food? How many regiments can't contain the little devils? Zhang Xinghan was furious when he heard this.

"The little devils have learned well this time, they did not retreat along the railway line, but scattered and fled, where can Niu Erzhu's two infantry regiments take care of." Jiang Baili said.

"Damn, the little devil has become cunning, tell Niu Erzhu to pursue immediately, don't worry too much, the little devil escaped, and he chased after me.

Then inform Li Zhenyuan and ask him to immediately divide his troops on both sides of the railway line to intercept and kill the Yue army that fled south. Zhang Xinghan was a little annoyed, how could the duck in his mouth let it fly again?

"Yes!" Jiang Baili nodded, stood up and saluted, and strode out of the headquarters.

........................ "Deputy Division, Commander-in-Chief Zhang called, ordering us to pursue immediately at any cost!" In a small nameless village east of Sujiatun, a communications soldier reported to Uncle Niu.

"Come on, order the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, and the Tank Regiment to immediately launch a pursuit." Niu Erzhu took the message and looked at it, and immediately ordered.

"Yes!" The signal soldier stepped forward and took the order to leave.

In Liaoyang City, Li Zhenyuan had just received Zhang Xinghan's telegram order, and after reading it in a hurry, he said to the adjutant: "Order all regiments to stop shelling, and use companies and platoons as units to disperse and intercept the devils who fled from the north." ”

The adjutant immediately took the order, and soon the four tank regiments stopped shelling, and the two motorized infantry battalions were also ordered to withdraw from the siege.

…………………… About 17 kilometers in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, another place is called Tangshan, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, especially the hot springs here, in later generations, it is the first of the four major healing hot springs in the country.

Therefore, during the Republic of China, it became a holy place for high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Nanjing National Government to refuge in the summer.

Many high-ranking officials of the National Government bought or built villas here for residence.

As the leader of the national political axe, President Chiang was no exception, and he had two secret mansions in Tangshan.

Generally, when he was tired of living in Nanjing, Principal Jiang would move to Tangshan with Mrs. Song to live in Tangshan for a while.

In a certain Tangshan villa, Chairman Jiang was walking along the rockery lake in the villa with a cane, accompanied by Mrs. Song.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps disturbed the couple's Yaxing.

The person who came was none other than Dai Lian, Dai Yunong, who was cited by President Jiang as the minister of the humerus.

Chairman Jiang smiled apologetically at his wife and patted her hands.

Mrs. Song smiled in return and walked straight to the gazebo in front.

Dai Li approached at this time, stood up and saluted, "Headmaster, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"Yunong, if there is something to say, hurry up, it's important to get down to business." Chairman Jiang waved his hand.

"Headmaster, I am defeated." Dai Li's straightforward words.

"Defeated? What's going on? Chairman Jiang asked.

"In the Battle of Shenyang, almost all of the 200,000 Yue Army was annihilated, the Northeast New Army won a great victory, and the main force of the Kwantung Army had been completely lost." Dai Li said, briefly recounting the information he had obtained on the battlefield in Shenyang to Chairman Jiang one by one.

After hearing this, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but nod and sighed: "The future is terrifying, the future is terrifying, in less than two years, he has pulled up such a force, and he can defeat the Kwantung Army with his own strength?" ”

"Headmaster, this person's climate has been established, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise with his development speed, it will become a big disaster." Dai Li said: "The students suggested that now that the Battle of Shenyang has been successfully concluded, the principal can send a telegram again to urge him to come to Beijing to report on his work, and when he arrives in Nanjing, he will immediately take special measures to get rid of him." ”

After Dai Li finished speaking, he found that President Jiang was in deep thought, and waited for a long time with his head bowed respectfully, before Chairman Jiang shook his head lightly and said, "No, we can't send a message to urge him for the time being, otherwise it will be easy for this person to suspect our intentions."

Since he has agreed to come to Beijing, and the people of the whole country are watching him, naturally they dare not come, so you go back and inform the communications room, and immediately send a telegram to congratulate Zhang Xinghan in the name of the National Political Axe Military Committee, and celebrate their unprecedented victory. ”

"Yes." Dai Li nodded, and asked tentatively, "Principal, do you want the students to prepare in advance?" After Zhang Xinghan came to Beijing. As he spoke, Dai Lia made a gesture with his hand to wipe his neck.

Chairman Jiang immediately shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Xinghan is now a hero of the whole nation's resistance no matter what, and his prestige and influence in the hearts of the people are very high, if he dies in Nanjing, it will cause us an unbearable impact." ”

"Arrest him then?" Dai Lidao.

"It depends on the situation." Chairman Jiang said.
