Chapter 18: Battlefield Disobedience (Part II) (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Nanjing, the leader's official residence.
Principal Jiang was looking out the window in a daze at the continuous winter rain with a gloomy face.
Just yesterday, a cold snap from Siberia swept across East China, Nanjing also plummeted in temperature, and there was a continuous rainy weather, due to the rainy weather and North China, Songhu battlefield [***] successive defeats under the double impact, President Jiang's recent mood can be described as terrible.
In the North China battlefield, the fierce general Sakagaki Seishiro defeated dozens of elite divisions with only half a division, Zhangjiakou, Weixian, Pingxingguan, and Xinkou were lost successively, and the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army were defeated again and again, retreating and retreating, seeing that Taiyuan was also about to be lost, and the entire Shanxi was about to fall!
In the Songhu battlefield, although the national political axe has done its best, and it has the advantages of geography, people and convenience, the deterioration of the war situation is still unavoidable.
By the end of October, the [***] had retreated to Shanghai on all fronts, and Shanghai had actually fallen, and what was even more worrying was that the Secrecy Bureau had once again detected a suspicious situation, and the previous telegram exchanges between the headquarters of the Shanghai Army and the base camp suddenly became frequent, which seemed to indicate that the army was likely to increase its troops again on the Songhu battlefield!
All in all, these days are almost always full of bad news that makes people feel depressed or hopeless.
These days, reports about Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Camp have occupied the front pages of major newspapers in major cities of the party-state, and even Chinese-language newspapers in Nanyang and the other side of the ocean are reporting on the heroic resistance of the Sixing Warehouse.
The desperate resistance of Yue Weihan and the Baoshan battalion in the Sixing warehouse has triggered a wave of resistance on an unprecedented scale, and not only have wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang enthusiastically donated money and materials and subscribed to treasury bonds, but even overseas Chinese living abroad have also generously donated money, and four US fighter planes purchased by overseas Chinese in Malaysia have even flown to the military airfield in Quzhou, Zhejiang.
Inspired by Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Battalion, school students in major cities across the country reappeared in the wave of school strikes and joining the army!
According to statistics, in late October alone, nearly 100,000 young students from all over the country threw their pens from Rong, and after President Jiang learned the news, he immediately wrote down the heroic poem "An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops."
However, no matter how beautifully Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Battalion fought in the Sixing Warehouse, they could not change the decline of the entire Songhu battlefield after all.
Moreover, the Nationalist Axe has already felt the strong pressure from the authorities of the Shanghai Public Concession, and the staff of the consulates of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other countries in Shanghai have already released rumors on an informal occasion that if the Nationalist Axe does not give the order to let the Baoshan Battalion retreat into the Public Concession and surrender to the British army, all the consequences caused by the Nationalist Axe will be borne by the Nationalist Axe!
The so-called consequences naturally refer to the fact that the army openly bombarded the public concession with heavy artillery in disregard of international influence, what kind of logic is this? It is simply unreasonable to say that this devil bombed the concession of a neutral country on the land of the national political axe, but the losses caused by the national political axe should be borne by the national political axe!
This is simply a naked threat, but Principal Jiang can only swallow his anger.
President Chiang also hoped that the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and other Western powers would be able to speak for the national government at the UN General Assembly. Besides, the political significance of the Baoshan Battalion's anti-Japanese war in the Sixing Warehouse has been achieved, and it seems that it is no longer necessary to hold on.
As for disarming or not, Principal Jiang didn't care at all.
Principal Jiang really cares about Yue Weihan alone, as for the life and death of hundreds of soldiers in the Baoshan Battalion, he doesn't care about it at all, the national political axe is now lacking everything, that is, there is no shortage of people, as long as Yue Weihan, the tiger general, can come back safely, Principal Jiang can give him a regiment, or even a whole division!
Just now, President Jiang had crossed the Songhu Theater Commander's Headquarters, the 15th Group Army Headquarters, and even the 98th Division Headquarters to directly give Yue Weihan an order to retreat.
…………
Zhabei, four rows of warehouses.
The Wakisaka Wing had been storming for six days, with more than 600 casualties, but they were never able to take the Sixing warehouse.
However, Wakisaka Jiro Daisa's offensive from another battlefield seems to have been brought into play.
On the fourth floor of the warehouse, Liu Xin came to Yue Weihan at a trot, and handed over a telegram with a white face, Yue Weihan took the telegram casually, and joked with a smile: "What's the matter, girl?" Is there another rabbit cub who doesn't have long eyes to tease you? Do you want this chief to administer justice to you and give that guy a gelding? ”
When Liu Xin heard this, he was immediately "surprised" and said, "Sir, is this true?" ”
"Haha, when did Chief Ben speak and not count?" Yue Weihan looked up to the sky and snorted, and said, "Come on, which rabbit cub teased you just now?" ”
"That person is you." Liu Xin said seriously.
When the words fell, Cao Xinglong and several other company commanders, Liu Tiezhu, and the soldiers of the guard platoon immediately burst into laughter, and Chi Chengfeng even took the opportunity to coax: "His grandmother, when are you going to gelding yourself in the camp?" ”
"You're fucking ready to gelding yourself!" Yue Weihan flew up and kicked at Chi Chengfeng's buttocks, Chi Chengfeng reacted quickly and dodged, but Niu Dagen next to him suffered from Chi Yu, and immediately rubbed his fat cheeks and said aggrievedly, "Yingza, I didn't laugh at you, why did you kick me instead?" ”
"You stupid big black coarse, you laughed the most just now!"
Yue Weihan scolded with a smile, then picked up the telegram, and his face suddenly changed slightly when he saw it, and Cao Xinglong next to him asked: "Yingzuo, who sent this telegram, what does it say?" ”
"This is a personal call from Chairman Chiang of Nanjing, telling us to retreat to the public concession and surrender our arms to the British army."
Chairman Jiang personally called, and Yue Weihan felt that he could no longer hide from all the officers and men of the Baoshan battalion, and although he was the battalion commander, he could not make arbitrary decisions, and he would decide the life and death of more than 200 officers and men alone.
"What? Let's retreat into the public concession? ”
"His grandmother, still have to disarm the British? Why? ”
"That is, we have no opinion on retreating into the public concession, but why should we disarm? So many devils have not been able to win us, and the hundred or so British devils on the other side of the river are not enough for us to stuff our teeth. ”
"Ge Laozi, what the hell is this hammer military order? Let's disarm the British, and what will the British do if they hand us over to the devils? Isn't that a deliberate attempt to send us to death? ”
Several company commanders, platoon commanders, and soldiers of the guard platoon immediately clamoured.
Yue Weihan was also cold in his heart, letting the Baoshan Battalion retreat into the concession and surrender to the British army was indeed a chaotic life, which has been proved by the head of Xie Yuan and the 400 heroes of the 524th Regiment in the official history, Yue Weihan does not want to repeat the mistakes of Commander Xie Yuan, let alone let the Baoshan Battalion repeat the tragedy of the 524th Regiment!
"Good!" Yue Weihan waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said to Liu Xin, "Second Lieutenant Liu Xin, call back to Nanjing immediately, our Baoshan Battalion has high morale and sufficient supplies, enough to hold out in the Sixing Warehouse for several months!" ”
