Nanjing, garrison headquarters.

Although it was six o'clock in the morning, the conference room of the headquarters was brightly lit, and all the officers at and above the division commander level who could come to the meeting in the entire garrison theater had already arrived.

At this time, in the Nanjing Theater, there were only a few Liao Liao fortifications such as Oolong Mountain, Lion Mountain, Xiaguan Wharf outside the Rujiang Gate, Shogunate Mountain, and Red Mountain, and the defenders of the Oolong Mountain and Lion Rock Fortresses had even become lone troops, and the two division commanders were not even able to rush to the headquarters to attend the meeting as observers.

Admiral Tang raised the telegram in his hand and said, "You have all read the telegram, what do you think?" ”

"This is an edict! Yue Weihan is simply a big rebellion! Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the 2nd Army Corps, took the case and said angrily, "The little colonel commander dares to release such a telegram without asking Shangfeng for advice, and he also uses a clear code, and his heart can be punished!" I don't think I need to go to court-martial, according to military regulations, it's enough to shoot ten times! ”

It is no secret that Yue Weihan's Fenghua is a secret, but not all [***] generals will look at him differently because of this, on the contrary, the vast majority of [***] generals are full of hostility towards Yue Weihan for various ulterior reasons, and Xu Yuanquan is one of them.

Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, the captain of the teaching corps, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's a big rebellion, right?" ”

"Heavy?" Xu Yuanquan glanced coldly at Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing and said, "I think it's still light." ”

Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing said coldly: "Commander Yue Weihan forged the commission order without authorization, and it is indeed an unforgivable crime, but his original intention was only to strengthen the determination of the Baoshan Regiment and all the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Theater to resist the war. Isn't that a big rebellion? ”

"You ......," Xu Yuanquan said, "it's just a strong word." ”

"Strong words?" Gui Yongqing said coldly, "I think some people are weak-hearted. ”

"Who's weak-hearted?" Xu Yuanquan changed color and said, "Gui Yongqing, you don't want to spew blood. ”

"Whether Gui has blood or not, some people are afraid that they know better than anyone else." Gui Yongqing said, "I think some people were touched by this telegram from Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Tuan, because this telegram completely blocked their retreat, forcing them to fight with the little devils. ”

"Gui Yongqing, what do you mean?" Xu Yuanquan said angrily, "Don't think that you are not afraid of death!" ”

"Gui didn't say that." Gui Yongqing looked around and said solemnly, "All of you here are senior generals of the party-state, and they are usually deeply cultivated by the commission, at this time of crisis for the family and country, I believe that the vast majority of robes have the same thoughts as Gui, hoping to kill themselves to repay the leader, kill to repay the country and the nation, but there are only a few people......"

Admiral Tang raised his hand suddenly, and Lieutenant General Gui's words suddenly stopped, and the eyes of all the generals also fell over.

"There is no need to say these things." Admiral Tang said coldly, "Since Tang Mou dared to accept the order in danger and hold Nanjing, he did not plan to leave alive, you are all commissioned generals, Tang Mou has the intention to retain talents for the party and the state, and he also gave you the opportunity to leave Nanjing a few days ago, but you gave up yourself!" ”

"Now, it's too late for you to leave!" As soon as Admiral Tang said this, he stood up and said angrily, "Yue Weihan dared to fight to the end with the other half of the Sakagaki Division with just one defeated corps, is it not as brave as the more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing City as the 3,000 defeated troops in Jiangbei District?" ”

"Who knows if what this kid said is true or not?" Xu Yuanquan said disapprerovingly, "In the Sixing Warehouse, didn't this kid also say that he would defend to the end, but what was the result?" Didn't break through after twenty days? ”

"This is different, how can the Sixing Warehouse be compared with Pukou?" Admiral Tang said coldly, "The Four Elements Warehouse is for propaganda, but the Battle of Pukou is to rescue more than 500,000 refugees in Nanjing, before all the refugees in Nanjing City are transferred, if he Yue Weihan dares to retreat half a step, the people of the whole country will not spare him!" ”

Admiral Tang said this, then took out his pistol and slapped it on the conference table, and then said murderously: "From now on, there will be those who will retreat...... Shot! ”

………… Wuhan, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang was furious in the study, and it was enough to be woken up at six o'clock in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be such annoying news!

"Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi!"

Chairman Jiang scolded twice in a row, but he still couldn't dissipate the anger in his heart.

Wang Shihe next to him was awe-inspiring, in his impression, the commission has always paid great attention to restraining his emotions, and rarely appeared angry or happy, but from last night to the early hours of this morning, the commission was first happy, and now it is angry, and the calm and qi cultivation kung fu that used to be said seems to be gone.

Maybe this is the so-called deep responsibility of love, who let the trouble be Yue Weihan?

"Commission, did you call Tang Shenzhi and let him come forward to reprimand Yue Weihan?" Wang Shihe said tentatively, "Yue Weihan, this kid is indeed too lawless, and the last time he issued a notice to the people in the Sixing Warehouse without authorization, after all, the results obtained were also what the commission wanted, but this time he actually directly forged the commission order, and this move forced the hundreds of thousands of descendants of the central army in Nanjing City into a desperate situation, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

"Reprimand?" Chairman Jiang finally calmed down the anger in his heart and said, "Is the reprimand useful?" Can Yue Weihan care? Not only did he disobey my military orders again and again, but now he dared to forge military orders, how could he care about Tang Shenzhi's reprimand? Can another reprimand undo the repercussions? Can it be exchanged for more than 100,000 descendants of the Central Army in Nanjing? ”

Wang Shihe said: "Commission, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing City are all your lineage trump cards, and they must not be buried!" ”

"It's late, it's late." Chairman Jiang walked behind the desk and sat down slowly, and said in a calm tone, "Tang Shenzhi didn't really want to retreat in the first place, but now that there is such a trouble, it is even more impossible for him to retreat, and he will not let any troops in Nanjing City retreat, these hundreds of thousands of troops are afraid that they will coexist with Nanjing." ”

Wang Shihe said again: "Commission, what are you going to do with Yue Weihan?" ”

"Disposition?" Chairman Jiang sighed softly and said, "Alas, let's wait until this battle is over." ”

Wang Shihe was silent, and he still couldn't let go of Yue Weihan and the Baoshan Regiment in his heart, but then again, Yue Weihan did force himself and the Baoshan Regiment into a desperate situation this time, this time they were facing the Sakagaki Division, this is the trump card of the little devil's trump card, the elite of the elite, whether they can survive this battle is really difficult to say.

Chairman Jiang was silent for a moment, and then said to Wang Shihe: "Since the matter is irreparable, then let the major news agencies and newspapers print and broadcast this letter of complaint from the Baoshan Regiment, and the surname Suo will expand its influence so that the eyes of the whole world will pay attention to the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Nanjing. ”

Chairman Jiang calmed down and thought about turning bad things into good things, Yue Weihan's letter to the people buried his more than 100,000 aces, how could he exchange some reputation and materials? Chairman Jiang didn't think that even if Yue Weihan didn't issue this letter of indictment, his ace of hundreds of thousands of descendants would still not be kept.

………… Shanghai is called the concession, and it is called the headquarters of the Central China Front.

Matsui Ishone, who had not slept all night, was looking at the map hanging on the wall in a daze, and next to him stood the gloomy chief of staff of the Front Army, Major General Tsukada Tsukada, and there was a telegram on the table not far away, which was the letter issued by the Baoshan Regiment to the surrounding areas in clear code five minutes ago!

"Yue Weihan." Matsui Ishone said, "What a figure to be reckoned with." ”

"yes." Tsukada Tsunya echoed, "I never believe that the leader of the Zhina, Jiang Jiang, will have such a firm determination, Yue Weihan must have forged Jiang's order!" It's just that since the telegram has been sent out and the impact has been caused, the leader of the branch Jiang, is afraid and does not dare to stop it anymore, and the large-scale street fighting in Nanjing City is afraid that it will be unavoidable. ”

"Street fighting? Street fighting! Matsui Shigen muttered to himself, and his brows furrowed.

Tsukada attacked and said: "Your Excellency General, do you want to send troops to attack Pukou from Yangzhou again?" ”

"There's no need for that." Matsui Shigen waved his hand and said, "As soon as this paper to the people comes out, there is no possibility for the Zhina army in Nanjing to escape, and it is meaningless for us to take a stance to attack Pukou again, once we really occupy Pukou, it will only strengthen the determination of the Chinese army and people to resist to the death, and it will only be harmful to the imperial army." ”

"Hello." Tsukada said respectfully, "Your Excellency the General is far-sighted, my admiration." ”

Matsui Shigen waved his hand and said, "Immediately telegraph to Kunizaki Noboru and ask him to immediately lead his troops to advance to Jiangpu and solve the Baoshan group as quickly as possible!" Since the political axe of China has already publicized the Baoshan regiment as a so-called heroic model regiment, and the Baoshan regiment has declared in such a high-profile manner that it wants to defend Pukou, then we will eat this heroic model regiment in one fell swoop, as long as this heroic model regiment is eaten, the determination of the Chinese army and people to resist will be greatly shaken, and the resistance to the capture of Nanjing will be much smaller. ”

"Hello." Major General Tsukada suddenly retracted his feet and stood upright, and was about to turn around and leave, when Matsui Ishine said again, "Don't forget to warn Kunisaki again, and don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

………… The next day, the Central News Agency, which had moved to Wuhan, broadcast to the whole of China a speech by Chairman Chiang, leader of the state government, entitled "Saving Nanjing," and the more influential newspapers such as the Shanghai Declaration, Ta Kung Pao, and Da Mei Evening News also published the speech on their front pages.

The second day, the mainstream media in the Western world also reprinted the speech one after another, and some Western reporters with an extremely adventurous spirit did not hesitate to risk their lives and tried every means to sneak into Nanjing, just to obtain the most straightforward first-hand information.

For a time, the eyes of the whole world focused on the east and the ancient and mulberry city of Nanjing.

The heartstrings of the vast number of overseas Chinese have been completely touched, and although they are far away from the ocean, they are always looking forward to good news, hoping that the more than 500,000 innocent refugees who are still stranded in Nanjing will be able to escape from the tiger's mouth as soon as possible! I hope that the [***] soldiers can fight bravely to the enemy and fight to the death, so as to win enough time for the transfer of refugees......
