Chapter 61: The Decisive Battle of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian (3)
As a person from later generations, Zhang Yuanzheng knew that many ancient cities and buildings with a long history and culture in later generations were destroyed by war or the needs of development, and when people woke up, it was too late. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThese are all precious historical and cultural wealth left by the Chinese nation, and once they are destroyed, they will really be gone.
In the forward command headquarters, Wang Yong and the commanders of various departments discussed how to attack Hangzhou: "The headquarters has just sent a telegram, and the commander-in-chief said that Hangzhou will be attacked, but everything in Hangzhou must be preserved. “
After listening to Wang Yong's words, the division commanders were sad one by one, thinking that they wanted to take Hangzhou, but also not destroy Hangzhou, how to fight this battle, the first division commander stood up helplessly and said: "Commander, how to fight this, we must not only take Hangzhou, but also ensure that we do not cause damage to the city of Hangzhou, and the enemy is to defend the city wall, that is, not to go out of the city, see the Taiping army in Hangzhou means to fight to the end with our army, according to the meaning of the headquarters, this battle can not be fought." ”
Wang Yong himself is also very helpless about this, although he has followed Zhang Yuanzheng to fight in the south and north over the years, and has fought many big battles, but he has never fought this kind of battle. There was a heated discussion in the headquarters, and the discussion was fruitless for a day. In the end, Wang Yong reluctantly reported the situation to Zhang Yuanzheng and asked for tactical guidance from the headquarters.
Zhang Yuanzheng took the telegram sent back by Wang Yong, smiled helplessly, and said to Yang Huaifang: "This Wang Yong, come and take a look." Yang Huaifang took the telegram and glanced at it and said, "Haha, no matter who you are tasked with, it is estimated that you will not be able to fight." If you want to take it, but you don't want to destroy the city of Hangzhou, how can you tell people to fight. Looking at his future brother-in-law-to-be, he said, thinking about it.
"Coming, recording, and calling are all known, leaving two divisions to besiege Hangzhou, but not attacking, and the rest of the divisions will be transferred to Nanjing."
"Commander, this is to force the defenders of Hangzhou to surrender." Yang Huaifang said, "Well, this ancient city can't be destroyed in our hands like this, history will prove all this, and we can only do this." ”
After getting the callback, Wang Yong immediately made in-depth arrangements for this: "The 3rd and 4th divisions are responsible for besieging Hangzhou, and the rest of the divisions are quickly transferred to Nanjing, although we are besieging Hangzhou City, but the people are innocent, and the people are allowed to go out of the city, but we must also strictly prevent the enemy troops in the city from fishing in troubled waters, and wait for us to take Hangzhou, and then let them come back, and send a letter to the defenders in the city to explain it, I hope that the defenders of Hangzhou are still a person with a conscience." “
The enemy troops on the city wall saw that some of the Wehrmacht troops had withdrawn one after another, and they were very puzzled: "General, do you see if the enemy is using some tricks to lure us out of the city or relax our vigilance, and then return to the horse gun." Wu Hongjun, the defender of Hangzhou, was also very puzzled, and his subordinates reported: "General Qiyu, the national defense army on the opposite side has sent a letter. "Open the envelope, it shows the intention of persuasion to surrender, and allow the people to leave Hangzhou, so as not to hurt the innocent people in the battle between the two armies, looking at the letter, Wu Hongjun also admires the love of the national defense army for the people.
"Come on, let the people in the city out of the city, and General Ben will let go and have a good fight with the Wehrmacht." Wu Hongjun said. Most of the people in the city chose to leave Hangzhou for refuge, and some of them were unwilling to leave, and there was nothing they could do about Wang Yong, who was unwilling to leave. “
