Niu Island, which did not go to Lishui, turned around and went south in the starry night, although the blood vessels flowed with the arrogance of the imperial army, Suesong could not hold on, Sun Zhen made full use of the advantage of troops, and attacked in a wide front and a large depth. .qb5, COm\ professional mobile phone e-book e-book download Mosong began to retreat to Changxing.

"More than a month ago, when the squadron retreated from Shanghai, all Western military experts believed that the resistance of the Chinese would soon end and the Japanese army would soon capture Nanjing, but the exhibition of the battle situation in the last month or so has made the predictions of all military experts invalid.

Lishui counterattack, the Japanese 18th Division lost more than 6,000 people, now Guangde counterattack, the 114th Division was not only forced to retreat, but also fell into chaos, their battle line was successfully cut by the squadron, the two wings were broken through, the two wing commanders were killed, and the 114th Division retreated to Vector Creek in a hurry.

But what about Nanjing? Such a powerful force counterattacked on the southern front, but Nanjing was in danger, with the current strength of the Nanjing defenders, could they hold Nanjing?

In the face of my questions, General Zhuang Jihua, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, was very relaxed, he told me that Nanjing was just a city, and the Sino-Japanese war was a long-term war, and the gains and losses of one city and one place would not affect the final outcome of the war; Nanjing, the Japanese are good to get in and out!

Walking through the empty streets of Nanjing, more than a month ago, it was still crowded with people, but now, all the shops are closed, and there are no civilians to be seen on the streets, except for soldiers in military uniforms and volunteers with obvious signs. The war was approaching Nanjing, and a few soldiers were joking lightly at the barricades.

Looking at their smiles and listening to the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance, I suddenly understood the meaning of what General Zhuang said about Nanjing was just a city, and gains and losses would not affect the outcome of the war.

The war would not end with the loss of Nanjing, and the Chinese were determined to drag the Japanese into the quagmire of a long war, no matter what the cost, and the Battle of Nanjing was their determination to show the world.

This was a big gamble, the Chinese used the capital Nanjing as bait to attract the Japanese attack, but the real goal was to annihilate the 114th Division on the southern front. In this regard, General Matsui Ishine probably did not expect that when he attacked Nanjing, he fell into the trap set for him by the Chinese, and now he is faced with a dilemma, whether to continue to attack Nanjing, or go south to relieve Suematsu. …”

In the Wuhan Military Commission, Chiang Kai-shek put down Weber's article in the Washington Observer, and the Nanjing battle situation attracted the attention of the whole country. This was a real victory, annihilating more than 6,000 Japanese troops, the greatest victory since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and Chiang Kai-shek also felt a light on his face.

"Chairman. General Bai Jiansheng asked to see him. Tang Zong came in to report. Chiang Kai-shek raised his eyes and said, "Please let him in." ”

Bai Chongxi came in from outside the door. Chiang Kai-shek stood up with a smile on his face: "Jiansheng." What's the matter? ”

"The Japanese army in North China has moved again. Han Fu reports. The 10th Division of the Japanese Army assembled in Dexian County. There is the possibility of crossing the Yellow River in the south; In addition, the North China side reported. The 5th Division of the Japanese Army was transferred back to Pingjin from Shanxi. It is currently assembled in Pingjin. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's brows furrowed slightly. The war in Nanjing was tense. Is the Japanese army going to move in Shandong again? The strength of the Third Army of Shandong Han Forte was not weak. But...

"Jiansheng. What do you think? What are the Japanese troops going to do again? ”

"After conquering Shanxi. The Japanese army was undermanned in North China. It is impossible to launch a large-scale attack. Even if the Japanese army wanted to open up the Jinpu Road. It should also be after the Battle of Nanjing. The 10th Division's move meant to reconnoiter by force. It could also be a suspicious tactic; Worryingly, the 5th Division. If they rush to Nanjing's aid at this moment. Zhuang Wenge may be unbearable there. Bai Chongxi said.

The exhibition of the Nanjing battle situation was not only unexpected by Western military experts, but also beyond his expectations, Lishui counterattacked, and destroyed 6,000 Japanese troops in three days, he at first thought that it was Zhuang Jihua's exaggeration, but Chiang Kai-shek insisted that it was true, and changed the number of enemies destroyed to 10,000 with a stroke of the pen.

Japan began to resolutely deny that it had lost 10,000 people in Lishui, but admitted that it had suffered certain losses, and according to the information transmitted by the military commanders, the 23rd Brigade had completely lost its combat effectiveness and was transferred back to Shanghai for recuperation, and there were only more than 1,000 people left in the whole army.

Now Zhuang Jihua is fighting back again in Guangde, and the scale and momentum are more than Lishui, different from Lishui's counterattack, this time Zhuang Jihua was very high-profile at the beginning, and constantly received notes, especially the Western records, expressing his views on the future of the war and the defense of Nanjing, and picking on Matsui Shigen between words, which made Bai Chongxi very incomprehensible and didn't know what he was going to do.

"If Itagaki Seishiro arrives in Nanjing, I'm afraid it's too late," Chiang Kai-shek thought and said: "But it's better to inform Zhuang of this situation, don't worry, Jiansheng, you are a little Zhuge , but the Cultural Revolution is a little fox, very slippery, and it is difficult for Matsui Shigen to catch him." ”

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's ridicule, Bai Chongxi only smiled, but he agreed with Chiang Kai-shek's statement to Zhuang Jihua, this is a little fox, cunning and abnormal, good at seizing fleeting fighters.

"Jiansheng, there is still something to deal with in Guangxi, the Fifth War Zone is about to fight, and he should take office as soon as possible.

Although Li Zongren was appointed commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, Li Zongren remained in Guangxi all along, first mobilizing Guangxi's reserves, and then arranging for the personnel and garrisons left behind in Guangxi, thus delaying the formation in Guangxi for four months. Chiang Kai-shek had no way to do this, and the appointment of Li Zongren as commander of the Fifth Theater was a compromise between domestic forces.

"Delin had already set off three days ago." Bai Chongxi said softly, he didn't say anything else, Li Zongren's main job in Guangxi is to coordinate the interests of all aspects of the interior, even within the Gui family, there are different interests entangled, now the two giants are out of Guizhou to fight the war, and the family is arranged, and the family can't be lost because of the war of resistance.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, the real reason why Li Zongren stayed in Guangxi is actually clear to everyone, but he can't find out.

"Chairman, Nanjing..." Bai Chongxi paused, and after choosing the wording in his heart, he continued: "The original plan was to defend Nanjing for a month, but now the time of the month is almost up, I don't know what the chairman's plan is." ”

Chiang Kai-shek walked slowly in the room a few steps, and finally stopped in front of the window, he silently looked out of the window, the battle of Nanjing was also unexpected, the original decision to defend Nanjing, because Nanjing is the national capital, for the international and domestic view, guarding Nanjing, can inspire the army and the people, but now, these two goals have been achieved, Zhuang Jihua in Nanjing brought him an unexpected surprise, Lishui counterattack and the ongoing Guangde counterattack, to the people brought a great surprise, the whole country is concerned about Nanjing, newspaper broadcasts are Nanjing war all day longThe Yuzhou Evening News published a military map of the Nanjing war site every day to show the specific progress of the war.

"Retreat from Nanking now?" Chiang Kai-shek shook his head, at this time, giving up Nanjing also means giving up the Guangde counteroffensive, which is not possible in any case: "Jiansheng, what do you think? ”

Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek couldn't make up his mind, Bai Chongxi thought about it and said: "It stands to reason that the purpose of the Nanjing operation has been achieved, and now it is time to withdraw from Nanjing, but since Zhuang Wenge used Nanjing to make an article and let him withdraw now, he will definitely not be willing. ”

"Okay, that's it, tell him that the state will reward all the meritorious soldiers in Nanjing." Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied, Bai Chongxi's suggestion was very appropriate, and it also showed his confidence in Zhuang's Cultural Revolution, which was probably this arrogant little Zhuge Ci made such an expression to the domestic generals.

Chiang Kai-shek was extremely proud in his heart, what the Gui Army, the Twenty-ninth Army, the Jin Army, and the Red Army; None of his protégés played well in Nanjing.

The order was immediately issued to Nanjing, Zhuang Jihua finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got the order, the last stone in his heart finally landed, what he was most afraid of was that Chiang Kai-shek would suddenly be ambitious, to completely defeat the Japanese army under the city of Nanjing, then he would completely fall in.

"The chairman has given us the green light, but we can't retreat now," Zhuang Jihua handed the order to Jiang Baili and Fu Chang.

After Jiang Baili took it and looked at it, he smiled and said: "Yes, you can't withdraw now, not only can't you withdraw, but you must also increase your efforts and prepare for street fighting." ”

"Yes, prepare for street fighting." After two days of fierce fighting, the 128th Regiment was divided and surrounded, the 120th Field Artillery Team was eliminated, and the wing commander Otsuka Shengnakasa was killed.

"I'm not going to fight in the streets of Nanjing." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said: "Qinhuai Fengyue, Zhongshan Longpan, Jinling Tiger, and the famous city through the ages cannot be destroyed in my hands." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what do you mean by that?" Fu Chang asked.

"It's nothing, the purpose of the defense of Nanjing has been achieved, and at present our purpose is to attract the main force of the Japanese army and ensure the success of the counterattack on the southern front, as long as this goal is achieved, we can abandon Nanjing." Zhuang Jihua explained: "We can't be carried away by a momentary victory and forget the purpose of defending Nanjing. Nanjing was not suitable for defending the city in the first place, so we made a plan to defend Nanjing without fighting. Second, the War of Resistance was a long-term one, and the troops could not be completely lost here. There were three signs of the retreat from Nanjing, the first was the large-scale reinforcement of the southern front by the Japanese army, or the victory of the southern front; the other is that the Japanese army transferred troops from other battlefields to reinforce Nanjing; Third, the Purple Mountain was lost. Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou, you should lead people to draw up a retreat plan and carry out staff operations, and this plan must be kept secret and must not leak a single word, otherwise it will easily cause the morale of the front-line troops to waver. ”

The first two conditions are needless to say, the Purple Mountain is outside the Peace Gate, is the highest commanding height in Nanjing, once it is lost, the Japanese army can be condescending, looking down on the entire Nanjing, in Zhuang Jihua's heart, as long as there is a fierce battle here, the time to retreat from Nanjing has come.
