Chapter 110: Even if you know it's dangerous, you have to break through
Afterwards, the telegram code on the 12th was "Wen", and the fire broke out again at night (i.e., eve), so the fire was called "Wenxi Fire".
The Wenxi Fire, also known as the Great Fire of Changsha, was the largest man-made fire in the history of Changsha, and made Changsha the worst-devastated city in World War II, along with Stalingrad, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
It caused heavy and tragic disasters to the four unprecedented battles in Changsha in the future. Finally, in 44 years, it fell due to poverty, causing the Japanese army to approach Nanning. For example, the small island country announced its defeat in a few days and "unconditional surrender", and the Japanese military headquarters did not change generals because of the small defeat of Gangmura Ningji. It is possible that the Japanese army really opened up the supply of Guangdong and Han, and the supply of Hong Kong and Ningbo by sea, two supply lifelines, with the two Guangzhous as the stand, and the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Malaysia as the support. The historical fate of World War II and the fate of China are really difficult to say. At least the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were beyond the reach of the whip, and the authorities Chiang had no army.
However, at that time, the Japanese army was unable to launch such a large-scale battle against Changsha, and it was not until September 1939 that it was difficult to prepare for the insufficient materials for launching a battle against Changsha, and launched the battle in a hurry, leaving behind more than 50,000 dead and wounded in more than two months, and fled back to Wuhan.
And Jiang and Zhang Zhizhong's words, intentions, comprehension, loyalty, power, deception, and criminal word tricks ruined a thousand-year-old city - Changsha!
On November 16, the Propaganda Department of the Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Military Affairs jointly issued an "Explanation on the Passage of the Changsha Fire," which stated that first, due to the mistaken belief in rumors and poor preparation in advance, the local military leaders were temporarily impatient and panicked; Second, in view of the continuous bombing by enemy planes and the recent tragic bombing of Pingjiang, Yuezhou, Tongcheng, Tongshan, and other counties, the people who had been engaged in the preparations for the destruction of the destruction were aroused by the indignation of the people, and they thought that the enemy was coming, so they immediately burned down their houses. As a result, preparations were turned into action, and fires broke out in one place and were launched everywhere, so that they were out of control.
The later rumors are roughly as follows: One is that at 12 o'clock that night, Xu Kun, commander of the Second Garrison Regiment, called the Changsha Garrison Headquarters to inquire about the enemy's situation, and the headquarters told him that the Japanese army had arrived at Xinqianghe, and he picked up the telephone to convey it to the company commander, and the company commander heard that he had arrived in Xinhe.
There is also a theory that the deputy of the 2nd Garrison Regiment inquired about the situation of the Japanese army from the provincial security office, and the provincial security office told him that the Japanese army had arrived at Xinqiang River.
The second is that it turned out to be the Changsha Garrison Command, the Changsha Municipal Police Bureau, and the Second Garrison Regiment who misreported that the Japanese army had arrived and hastily set fire. At this time, the Japanese army was still more than 200 miles away from Changsha. Moreover, there are more than 100,000 regular troops of the Nationalist Army stationed around Changsha, and it is not easy to break through the defense line. Therefore, although the highest military authorities issued documents to prepare for the destruction of the city during the day, they did not officially issue the order to destroy the city. On November 10, the Japanese army captured Yueyang in Hunan.
The third is that on the 12th, the Japanese army attacked the Xinqiang River, which was still 250 miles south of Yueyang and Changsha, but because of the difficulty of communication in the army at that time, the interpreter actually leaked the word "wall" in the telegraph in front of him, turning the "Xinqiang River" into a "Xinhe" only 12 miles away from Changsha.
The Changsha Militia Self-Defense Force, which first received this information, set fire to it without receiving instructions. The city garrison headquarters saw the fire outside the city, thinking it was a signal, so the whole city set fire, fire and police officers have also evacuated Changsha, earlier in order to carry out the scorched earth war of resistance, all fire trucks also put water and replaced it with gasoline. So after the Chinese generals found out, the fire could not be extinguished, so they could only announce the abandonment of the city. In the end, it caused the Wenxi fire.
The disaster and suffering caused by the Wenxi fire to Changsha must have been deep. The destruction given to historical research is irreversible. It is more tragic than the pace of the Japanese army's advance by blowing up the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, and it is irreparable and immeasurable. But the fire was still burning, and the story continued in the middle of the night on November 12, 1938......
Returned to the Tongtai Hotel on Beizheng Street to support Li Mengxiang after covering Director Zhou, Chief of Staff Ye, Guo Moruo and the temporary organs after the safe evacuation. and Hongyun safely withdrew to the small courtyard of Caoqiang Lane, washed the thick smell of gunsmoke and changed their clothes, and said to Hongyun Qinni; "Tonight it happened suddenly, and it was a big deal. I may not be able to come for a while, you have to wait for him well, marry him earlier, and I didn't see a mountain phoenix sticking to it! I've got to get back out."
Hongyun said with a blushing face; "He also said that people would love him! You! It's painful in my heart! Okay, let's go! ”
After sending Li Mengxiang away, Hongyun suddenly felt an inexplicable unease and horror from the bottom of his heart.
What's the matter?
Is it to eat that Feng'er's vinegar?
No, I think that Feng'er is so dear! ……
After a night, life and death were shared, bloody battles, and they saved their favorite fiancés three times, and they didn't hesitate to use their bodies to block the beloved people, and they were too late to be grateful, so what kind of jealousy! ……
Not good!
In the past six months or so, the elite armed forces that suddenly appeared in the area of Duyun and Shaoshan have appeared.
If it is really armed by the Japanese army, and the instructor may drive directly to Xiangtan, Director Zhou and the temporary organs will be in danger.
If the instructor asks Director Zhou and the provisional organs to take the waterway according to the plan in Wulipo, the military men will start the sailboat and send Director Zhou and the temporary organs to Xiangtan. And if he continues to drive south, deliberately exposing his whereabouts and dragging this hypothetical Japanese army, the instructor is in danger! It will be 9 deaths for a lifetime! ……
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but rush through the tunnel, and directly from the tunnel with the branch to say; "Captain, the instructor is in danger, and he should have returned from Wulipo ......."
As soon as he said this, he was so shocked that Zuoyun, Jingyun, and the three little soldiers stood up at once.
Zuoyun said; "Quick! Take the guy directly to the warehouse to see if there is a car, and you have to get a trolley to save people."
Everyone immediately recopied the guys and rushed out of the house.
A freight truck was speeding away, and Zuoyun on the right seat was still talking to Jingyun in the shopkeeper; "Hurry up, if that elite army is really a Japanese contingent, and it belongs to the Eye Snake. Then the instructor is too dangerous."
Jingyun said; "The throttle is all over, and the car will fall apart soon, and it's a fluke to get this truck. Don't worry, I hope the eldest brother can bring enough guys to hold on for a while."
Yue Yun drove the jeep at a medium speed without being fast or slow, deliberately dragging the time back little by little. On the right seat are the flower mechanism and a German-made punch. In the face of this mysterious, fierce, ferocious, and murderous force, stuck in the throat of Changsha's southbound army, this specialized burning car, military vehicle, and small convoy, never left a mouth alive and no one survived. Knowing that the road ahead was extremely dangerous, and it would be difficult to survive if he didn't die, Yue Yun still marched without hesitation.
