Palm 128: Upheaval

6.128 Upheaval

When the 6th Division stormed the Zhonghua Gate south of Nanjing, Shen Fazao on Zhongshan began his retreat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Japanese 3rd Division opposite the position of the 87th Division found that the main position of Zhongshan, which they had not been able to shake for many days, suddenly became fragile. However, as time went by, the 3rd Division gradually saw that something was wrong, and at the urging of Lieutenant General Fujita Shin, the commander of the 3rd Division, Major General Kanichiro Ueno's 29th Brigade sent several infantry squads to attack the original 87th Division's position with strong firepower, and as a result, they easily broke through the rear line of the 87th Division. At the same time, the good news was reported to Matsui Ishine in the Central China Front Headquarters in Shanghai.

After learning the news that the 3rd Division had taken over Zhongshan from the 87th Division, Matsui Shigen's mood was very good, the 4th Division had advanced to Xuancheng, and soon it would form a situation with the 101st Division to encircle Wuhu, as long as Huang Haoran's retreat could be cut off, the results of the total annihilation of the Nanjing garrison would be just around the corner, Matsui Ishine's mood also infected the chief of staff, Major General Tsukada, and the two leaders of the Japanese Central China Front decided to increase the bombardment of Wuhu to help a group of 101st Divisions, The 3rd Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army, which received the new order, immediately moved from Nanking to Wuhu, and the 23rd Army Corps of the Sichuan Army endured about the same aerial bombs as the previous days in the next few hours, and their fortifications and trenches were almost destroyed by Japanese bombers, and the Sichuan Army lost nearly two battalions of troops in this unprecedented large-scale bombardment.

The citizens of Wuhu City began to flee long before the Japanese occupied Guangde, and now there is no population in the city, and the Sichuan army demolished a large number of ownerless empty houses in order to build fortifications, coupled with the Japanese bombardment for several days, now the city of Wuhu has become a ruin! Wuhu City, which Matsui Ishine was bent on seizing, actually no longer exists.

Nanjing Garrison was the first to find that the battle in Zhongshan was abnormal The troops were the 83rd Army defending the line from Zhongshan to the Central Gate, Deng Longguang's 154th Division of the 83rd Army was stationed at the foot of Zhongshan, after the night of the 28th, a large number of shells suddenly flew down on several Zhongshan peaks that should have been held by the 87th Division, and Wu Jianxiong, the commander of the 154th Division, jumped up angrily and scolded the artillery of the 87th Division for being blind, but after a while Wu Jianxiong came back to his senses, and the Nanjing Garrison now has only two artillery companies and all of them are concentrated in the Ming Imperial Palace, Where did the 87th Division get all these large-caliber guns?

Since the 87th Division has no artillery, it can only be the Japanese who shoot artillery at the 154th Division from Zhongshan! Wu Jianxiong hurriedly reported this sudden situation to his army commander Deng Longguang, and Deng Longguang, who realized that the problem was serious, did not dare to slack off, and he immediately reported to Huang Haoran the discovery of the 154th Division!

After receiving the report of the 83rd Army, Huang Haoran immediately ordered the telecommunications room to call the headquarters of the 87th Division, but no matter how hoarsely the personnel in the telecommunications room in front of the radio shouted to the 87th Division, the headset in Huang Haoran's hand was always only the rustling sound of the radio when it was silent.

The radio station of the 87th Division was turned off! Huang Haoran and Shen Fazao broke off contact, and the Nanjing Garrison lost the 87th Division!

If the devil occupies Zhongshan, it means that the entire city of Nanjing has entered the effective range of Japanese artillery fire, and the significance of this mountain to Nanjing City is too great, Huang Haoran can only rush out of Shen Laoer's division headquarters and run to the open air with his own eyes to find the answer.

Zhongshan in the night is like a huge shadow shrouded in Huang Haoran's heart, and what makes him feel a little relieved is that the gunfire on Zhongshan has not stopped until now, which means that the troops of the 87th Division are still fighting with the Japanese army, but now the movement on Zhongshan is significantly smaller than when Huang Haoran arrived at the headquarters of the 99th Division, and there are only two possibilities that can make the battle situation in Zhongshan change so big in a short period of time, one of which may be that the little devil has eliminated Shen Fazao's 87th Division, There is also a possibility that Shen Fazao took the initiative to give up Zhongshan!

Huang Haoran is now not sure what kind of situation he encountered, according to the defense plan of Nanjing before the war, the troops stationed in Zhongshan should be Gui Yongqing's Central Teaching Corps, after the "assassination of Huang Haoran" incident, Gui Yongqing was dismissed and imprisoned in the prison of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, and the Central Teaching Corps was also invited by Huang Haoran to Zhongshan, and it was by relying on this elite army that Huang Haoran created a series of victories in Jiangning.

In fact, there are two reasons why Huang Haoran chose Shen Fazao's 87th Division to guard Zhongshan among the many armies of the Nanjing Garrison, one is because the 87th Division is a "German Armament Division", although it has suffered certain losses in the Songhu battlefield, but the overall quality and equipment of the soldiers are relatively good in the Nanjing Garrison, and the other is because the 87th Division has been stationed in Nanjing for a period of time before and is very familiar with the environment of Zhongshan. Huang Haoran's considerations were actually reflected in the final battle, although Shen Fazao's troops suffered relatively large casualties, but in front of the 87th Division, which occupied a geographical advantage, the Japanese did not take any advantage, if you want to rank the performance of the troops at the division level of the Nanjing Garrison Army, then the 87th Division on Zhongshan will definitely be able to enter the top five!

Zhongshan has always been Huang Haoran's most reassuring link in the eastern defense line, but now it is precisely this Zhongshan position that he is most at ease with has a problem!

Huang Haoran has a feeling of being slapped in the face by Matsui Shigen!

Shen Yuanlong, who ran out after Huang Hao, saw the anxious look on his eldest brother's face, and his heart was very uncomfortable. Nanjing City can hold on to the encirclement of the Japanese army of 200,000 to this day, and Huang Haoran can be said to have tried his best.

Defending the land and resisting the war, there was nothing to boast about such a dedication, but Shen Yuanlong just couldn't see that his eldest brother's enthusiasm was always made cold by some dirty villains! Before the war, Gui Yongqing and Sun Yuanliang pulled Luo Zhuoying to stumble on Huang Haoran, and after the war, they met the "military commander" and the 1st Army repeatedly, and now, another Shen Fazao jumped out!

Damn! A good China is bad in the hands of these people! As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yuanlong's anger didn't come to one place!

Huang Haoran thought for a while, he felt that Shen Fazao couldn't just leave! You must know that Zhongshan is where Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum is located, does Shen Fazao really have the courage to abandon it without permission? It is a felony to abandon Zhongshan without receiving an order from the Nanjing City Defense Command! The resulting result is by no means something that a division commander can bear! As long as someone hands the letter to Wuhan, even if the role of army commander and group army commander is changed, everyone will have to fall to the ground! It's impossible for Shen Fazao not to leave a way back for himself!

Huang Haoran finally decided to confirm the situation first, Zhongshan is the commanding heights of Nanjing's eastern defense line, if this commanding heights are ceded to the Japanese army by the 87th Division, then Huang Haoran has to immediately let the troops in the north of the city retreat immediately, and the original orderly retreat plan can only be completely overturned!

How to fight the battle in Nanjing, it all depends on Zhongshan!

"Staff Officer Zhao! Let the 83rd Army and the 66th Army send people to the positions of the 87th Division to see what is going on! If it is really Shen Fazao who is dizzy and abandons Zhongshan to defend Zhongshan, I must pay the price for him! ”

Huang Haoran remembered the staff officer Zhao Xuanyang recommended by Jiang Baili to himself, although now Huang Haoran still doesn't know whether Zhao Xuanyang belongs to the "Central Unification", "Military Command" or "Prince", but he can be sure that this Zhao Xuanyang has a big backer behind him, maybe there will be people in the 87th Division who belong to the same boss as Zhao Xuanyang, and let these intelligence agents investigate the current situation of the 87th Division, and they will definitely receive good results.

Zhao Xuanyang was a little surprised that Huang Haoran handed over such an important task to him, although Zhao Xuanyang was carrying the brand of Huang Haoran's brother-in-law Jiang Baili when he came to the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters, but Huang Haoran did not trust him very much, Fan Jie, the chief of staff of the 99th Army, and the mysterious Director Xu arranged for people to be around Zhao Xuanyang's side, Zhao Xuanyang had an intuition that Director Xu was his companion! The 99th Army actually has its own secret agency! This discovery made Zhao Xuanyang feel very excited!

Zhao Xuanyang reported his discovery to his boss as soon as possible, and at the same time he also submitted some information that he thought was more valuable, in his eyes, these things could bring down Huang Haoran as long as they exploded at an appropriate time, but what Zhao Xuanyang didn't expect was that after he handed over these things, he would sink into the sea, until the day before yesterday, someone brought Zhao Xuanyang the words of his boss: "Director Xu is unhappy!" He made you have to get in touch with the 99 Army as soon as possible! Wait for a new mission with peace of mind! ”

In 1935, in order to alleviate the internal contradictions of the National Intelligence Organization, the Supreme Authority merged the Secret Service Headquarters with the Special Service of the Fuxing Society to form the Intelligence Bureau of the Military Commission (also known as the "Investigation and Statistics Bureau"), with Chen Lifu as the director and Chen Zhuo as the deputy director. The bureau has three divisions, the first division of the division, Xu Enzeng, is in charge of party investigation; Dai Li, Director of the Second Division, who is in charge of military and police investigations; The director of the third division was first concurrently served by Chen Zhuo and then taken over by Ding Mocun, who was in charge of post and telecommunications inspection. Although the form is unified, in practice it is still each doing its own thing. The organizational structure of the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secret Service continued to operate as usual, and the Military Council Intelligence Directorate was really just a reporting body. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, at the Provisional National Congress in Nanjing, the highest authorities proposed the establishment of the Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang. In October, Chiang Kai-shek reorganized the Investigation Bureau of the Military Commission, and the first division of the Investigation Bureau was expanded into the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, and the second division was expanded into the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission. In this way, the Central Bureau of Statistics was formally established.

Zhao Xuanyang was the first batch of backbone spies sent out after the official establishment of the "Central Unification," and the "Central Unification" had some expectations for these people.

The reason why the "military unification" has the means to reach the sky today is that they have already laid a large number of chess pieces in the army, and if the newly established "central unification" wants to exert greater energy in the future, they will have to insert their eyes into the army in the same way as the "military unification."

Only by getting the handle of these generals who lead the troops can they control the army, and only then will the words of the "Central Unification" become weighty, and the leaders of the "Central Unification" will have the opportunity to make a fortune.

Just when the "Central Unification" was gearing up for a big fight, they suddenly discovered that there was no place for them in the military system, and the "Central Unification," the big brother of the "Central Unification," was very dissatisfied, and suddenly a little brother appeared; under the instructions of their Director Dai, the "Central Unification" personnel who had been installed in the army strictly guarded the personnel sent by the "Central Unification," and after they had been busy with their work, the "Central Unification" only formed some influence in some newly established units of the Central Army, and was actually responsible for the "Central Unification" Xu En, the deputy director of the work, was once criticized by the big boss CC, and at this time, Huang Haoran's 99th Army entered the sight of the "Central Unification".

Because Huang Haoran's 99th Army was just a new army that had just been upgraded from the reserve division before the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, coupled with the "bad" performance of the reserve division in the assessment, all this made the "military commander" completely ignore Huang Haoran's troops, and even Director Dai's move to annex the 99th Division was very incomprehensible to Minister He's later move.

Next, Huang Haoran became famous in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and after that, the "military commander" has not been able to find the opportunity to insert personnel to the 99th Army.

Xu En once felt that the "Central Unification" should immediately seize the fertile field of the 99th Army, so he selected Zhao Xuanyang, who had some relationship with Jiang Baili, and then inserted Zhao Xuanyang into the Nanjing Urban Defense Command, in order to pave the way for the "Central Unification" to enter the 99th Army.

When Xu En saw Zhao Xuanyang's report on Huang Haoran, he was so angry! Xu En never thought that the person he sent was actually a complete idiot! What time is it? Did Huang Haoran leave the Nanjing Anti-Japanese War? If Huang Haoran's black material is rectified at this juncture, let alone the highest authorities, CC will have to uncover his Xu Enzeng's skin first!

Xu Enzeng could only enlighten Zhao Xuanyang in person! The "Central Unification" is not as rich as the "Military Unification"! The chess pieces that were finally laid down, Xu En was reluctant to waste them! He wants to have a good relationship with Huang Haoran, and controlling an ace army is more valuable than controlling ten miscellaneous armies! Zhao Xuanyang's only task at the moment is to perform more in front of Huang Haoran!

"Yes! Commander! I'm going to do it right away! ”

Zhao Xuanyang tried to make his voice tougher, the battle in Nanjing would not last long, he had to cherish every opportunity to make Huang Haoran have a good impression of him!

Huang Haoran glanced at Zhao Xuanyang, who had a bit of bad acting skills, and he gave Zhao Xuanyang an encouraging smile, if you want someone to help you do something, you have to give some sweetness, a smile, and you don't have to spend money.

Huang Haoran didn't expect his smile to be so useful, Zhao Xuanyang only took twenty minutes to figure out the situation on Zhongshan for Huang Haoran, the "Zhongtong" did not have its own people in the "German Armament Division" like the 87th Division, but this did not prevent Zhao Xuanyang from getting the latest information.

The "military command" has also had some side effects by placing a large number of personnel in the central army, that is, in the distribution of funds, it is inevitable that there will be a certain degree of unfairness, and the same "military commander" personnel who stay in the 87th division, some people can spend all day drinking, and some people can only struggle to survive, so soon a group of guys who make a living by selling intelligence appeared, and what Shen Fazao did on Zhongshan could not have been concealed, and as soon as the officers above moved, the people below immediately guessed Shen Fazao's intentions, The information that the 87th Division was going to abandon Zhongshan immediately flowed out, and Zhao Xuanyang bought the detailed information from a "military commander" personnel he knew, and the price was only 20 yuan.

Shen Fazao's 87th Division was ready to retreat from noon, and in the evening, the 87th Division fired a burst of artillery at the Japanese position, and then began an "orderly" retreat, leaving behind the 520th Regiment of the 260th Brigade, originally the 520th Regiment should have held out on the mountain for three to four hours before retreating, but when the officers and men of the 520th Regiment saw their brother troops and commanders running fast on the mountain road, their emotions were out of control!

No one wanted to stay and be the main leader, first the soldiers put down their weapons and fell into the fleeing team, and then the whole company and platoon slipped away, when the Japanese army began to attack the position of the 87th Division, the regiment commander Cai Qi had less than 500 people left in his hands.

How could 500 uncertain officers and men stop the offensive of two wings of the Japanese 3rd Division? When Huang Haoran received the report of the 83rd Army, there was only a small force of Chinese troops left on Zhongshan, and Cai Qi, the commander of the 520th Regiment, led the last two platoons to defend the Purple Mountain Observatory, and Zhongshan had entered the countdown stage when it fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

"Shen Fazao! Your uncle's! In order to make up for the mistakes of the 87th Division, Huang Haoran had ordered the 66th Army and the 83rd Army to send one to seize part of the position in Zhongshan.

Thousands of men and horses of the 87th Division were completely out of formation when they ran to Taipingmen, and the 156th Division of the 83rd Army, which was responsible for guarding Taipingmen, clashed with Shen Fazao's troops, just when the two Chinese armies were crowded together at Taipingmen, the cavalry wing of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army suddenly killed under the cover of the chariot, and the Taipingmen defenders rushed to the battle, and in the chaos, Major General Yao Zhongying, chief of staff of the 156th Division, was martyred. He took advantage of the martyrdom of Yao Zhongying, the chief of staff, to take over the defense of Taipingmen, the officers and soldiers of the 87th Division knocked down the barricades and stuffed materials set up by the 156th Division at the city gate of Taipingmen and rushed into the city, and the cavalry wing of the 3rd Division took the opportunity to cover up and rush into the Taiping Gate......
