After a long time, Chairman Jiang finally suppressed his anger, looked around at the senior generals and said: "Now the battle situation on the north and south fronts is not optimistic, do you have a good plan?" ”

The generals either bowed their heads or looked at him, and none of them squeaked.

Someone once said that [***] is a first-class soldier, a second-rate non-commissioned officer, a third-rate general, and an unpopular commander!

Although this statement is somewhat biased, it is basically true, and the description of Chairman Chiang is particularly incisive, and Chairman Chiang's ability to become the leader of the party-state shows his outstanding political skills and personality charm, but he really lacks talent in military command, but he likes to overstep the level to command the troops on the front line.

For example, in the Battle of Songhu, Chairman Chiang was primarily responsible for the defeat of [***].

Before the Battle of Songhu began, Bai Chongqi suggested to Chairman Chiang that he should rely on the strong fortifications of the Wufu Line to fight a war of attrition with the Yue army, instead of Chen troops fighting a field battle with the Yue army on the coastline of Shanghai.

In the middle of the battle of Songhu, the five main divisions of the army that had been put into the offensive in advance were exhausted, and at this time, [***] still had the opportunity to take the initiative to shrink to the Wufu line, and then rely on the strong national fortifications to resist the war for a long time, but Chairman Chiang always had illusions about the interference and mediation of the American and British powers, and was unwilling to order the withdrawal of troops, so that the best opportunity for retreat was lost, and after Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army landed at Jinshanwei, the situation completely collapsed to the point of no return.

Now, before the Battle of Xuzhou began, it was already in danger of miscarriage because of Chairman Jiang's blind command.

As mentioned above, the intention of the Battle of Xuzhou was to completely annihilate the Isogu Division and the Banyuan Division of the Lone Army, forcing the North China Army to basically lose the ability to take the initiative to attack, so that [***] could gather heavy troops in the Yangtze River valley and go all out to deal with the heavy army group of the Central China side.

Once the 10th Division and the 5th Division in the south and the 18th Division and the 13th Division in the north will join Xuzhou, once the four divisions of the army are grouped, even if they concentrate the strength of the whole country, they will definitely not be able to eat it!

Chairman Jiang's gaze finally fell on Xiao Zhuge Bai Chongqi.

Bai Chongqi sighed, and said helplessly: "It's okay to say that the northern section of the Jinpu Line is good, although Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army is poorly equipped, but there are 350,000 people at best, it shouldn't be a problem to insist on ten days and half a month, the key is the southern section of the Jinpu Line, because the 57th Army, the 59th Army and the 21st Group Army have been transferred to the north, and now the door has been opened from Pukou to Bengbu, and the 114th Division stationed in Hefei alone can't stop the army from going north to the group in any way!" ”

At this moment, Chairman Jiang's heart was also full of bitterness.

But then again, Chairman Jiang also has his own difficulties, a battle to defend Nanjing, more than a dozen of his lineage ace divisions will fight a fine light, if this battle of Xuzhou will fight the entire Tang Enbo Corps, then he Jiang will really become the commander of the light pole, how to suppress the indigenous warlords in the provinces at that time?

It was precisely because of this consideration that Chairman Chiang transferred the 57th Army, the 59th Army, and the 21st Group Army to Xuzhou in the north.

Chairman Chiang wishfully believed that after the battle to defend Nanjing, the Central China Front would rest for at least three months because of heavy casualties, but he did not think that the war mobilization mechanism of the Chinese army was far superior to that of China, and that the war mobilization capability of the political axe was far stronger than that of the national political axe, and although the defense of Nanjing killed and injured a large number of the living forces of the Chinese army, it was far from enough to deprive the army of its ability to attack in an all-round way.

In the final analysis, the front of the Yue army is not too long now, and they can still afford it.

After a long time, Chairman Jiang said: "What if the 57th Army, the 59th Army and the 21st Group Army are transferred back to Bengbu?" ”

"It's late, it's late." Bai Chongqi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "The current position of the 57th Army, the 59th Army and the 21st Group Army is even farther away from Bengbu than the Northern Advance Group of the Yue Army, and the Yue Army is a mechanized corps, so I am afraid that before the various units arrive in Bengbu, the Northern Advance Group of the Yue Army will have already crossed the Huai River defense line." ”

Zhang Zhizhong, commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army next to him, suddenly said: "I don't know how Nanjing is fighting?" ”

"Nanjing?" Bai Chongqi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Tang Shenzhi has already run away, is it possible for Nanjing to hold on?" ”

General Zhang Zhizhong said: "Since Nanjing is lost, I think there will always be troops breaking through to Jiangbei, right?" If the Baoshan Regiment can annihilate the Guozaki detachment and then harass the remnants of the breakthrough from Nanjing, there should be 35,000 people, and with these 35,000 people, it may be possible to delay the northward advance of the Yue Army to the group for three to five days, and these three to five days will be enough for us to adjust our deployment. ”

"Baoshan group?" Bai Chongqi said disdainfully, "That's right, on New Year's Day, the Baoshan Regiment made a beautiful counterattack and unexpectedly knocked out the mountain artillery wing of the Kunisaki Detachment, but don't forget, the Kunisaki Detachment is a mixed brigade, is it possible for the Baoshan Regiment to annihilate the Kunisaki Detachment with the strength of one regiment?" Just kidding! ”

"Why is it not possible?" Zhang Zhizhong frowned and said, "Wasn't the Chongdo detachment annihilated by the Baoshan Regiment?" ”

"The Shigedo detachment is nominally a detachment, but in fact it is the strength of three infantry brigades and one infantry wing." Bai Chongqi pursed his lips and said, "Besides, the Shigeto Detachment is only Taiwan's garrison brigade, while the Kunisaki Detachment is based on the 5th Brigade of the 9th Division, do the combat effectiveness of the two have comparable surnames?" ”

"Maybe...... Will a miracle really happen? Someone next to him whispered.

"Miracle?" Bai Chongqi said coldly, "If such a miracle can happen, the sun will rise in the west." ”

Bai Chongqi's voice fell, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the national guard, suddenly walked in excitedly, and saluted Chairman Jiang Lizheng and said: "Commission, great victory, Jiangpu great victory!" ”

"Jiangpu victory?" Chairman Jiang was shocked and moved, "You mean ......?"

"It's the Baoshan group." Wang Shihe nodded heavily and said, "Yue Weihan has just sent a clear telegram to the whole country in Jiangpu, and the Baoshan Regiment, with the cooperation of the local militia group, the security team, the [***] guerrillas, and the bandit forces, completely annihilated the Guosaki detachment at about 8 o'clock in the morning today, and Guoqi Deng also committed suicide. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and in an instant, the senior generals in the entire war room exploded.

"Oh my God, just said that the Baoshan regiment, the Baoshan regiment really annihilated the Kunisaki detachment!?"

"Miracle, it's just a miracle, just a rout corps, actually annihilated the elite Kunizaki detachment of the Yue Army?"

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, how did this Yue Weihan bring the soldiers? And how did you fight? ”

"Yes, I really want to go to Jiangpu to see it for myself, I can't imagine it, I can't believe it!"

Among them, the most "rich" expression is probably Bai Chongqi, deputy chief of the General Staff, who just said that the Baoshan Regiment would never create a miracle, and the words have not yet fallen, the Baoshan Regiment has really created a miracle, and more than 3,000 people from the defeated regiment have really annihilated nearly 10,000 elites of the Guozaki detachment!

The expression on Chairman Jiang's face was also full of surprise, and his inner taste was even more complicated.

To say, with the audacity of this kid Yue Weihan, it is really not an exaggeration to shoot him ten times, and it is just a matter of disobeying orders before the battle, this is all a trivial matter, and Chairman Jiang doesn't want to worry about him, but it is impossible for Chairman Jiang to gently expose the matter of burying more than a dozen ace divisions of his lineage by forging an order.

Chairman Jiang originally thought that Yue Weihan would definitely die in Jiangpu, so this matter would be over.

For the sake of Yue Weihan's background in Huangpu and his Fenghua borrower, Chairman Jiang is still willing to posthumously present him with the rank of major general, and when the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is won in the future, his tablet will also be placed in the Martyrs' Shrine.

However, Chairman Jiang never expected that this kid Yue Weihan would actually create a miracle again!

The Baoshan regiment was not only not annihilated by the Kunisaki detachment, but even annihilated the invincible Kunisaki detachment in turn, at this time, Chairman Jiang didn't know what to do.

Nothing else, this kid Yue Weihan is really capable of fighting!

There are tens of thousands of middle-level officers and senior generals from Huangpu, and the generals who came out of Fenghua County are not old or young, but none of them can fight better than Yue Weihan.

Besides, even if Chairman Chiang really wanted to kill Yue Weihan, I am afraid that the people of the whole country and the public opinion circles would not agree.

Now Yue Weihan is a hero of resistance in the eyes of the people of the whole country, and to put it in an exaggeration, Yue Weihan and the Baoshan regiment have even become the spiritual pillars of the whole nation's War of Resistance, and if Chairman Chiang really wants to kill Yue Weihan, he will undoubtedly tear out the backbone of the entire Chinese nation, and the determination and morale of the whole [***] people to resist the war will immediately plummet, and if they don't do it, they may really lose the country.

"Bench? Commission!? Wang Shihe shouted twice in a row before he pulled Chairman Jiang's thinking back.

Wang Shihe's face quickly rose with a trace of bitterness, and he said in an extremely solemn tone: "Commission, Nanjing has also called, Nanjing City has been lost at 6 o'clock this morning, and General Gui Yongqing, acting commander of the garrison theater and commander of the teaching corps, has also sacrificed his life for the country. ”

As he spoke, Wang Shihe handed a telegram to Chairman Chiang.

The entire war room immediately fell silent, and everyone hung their heads in guilt.

Although the 700,000 people in Nanjing have already been transferred, Nanjing is the capital of the national government after all, and now that the capital has been captured by the Kou, how can they be at ease as high-ranking generals of the party-state?

After reading the message, Chairman Chiang let out a long sigh and said, "What about the troops in Nanjing? ”

Wang Shihe's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Most of the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers guarding Nanjing died in battle, and only more than 2,000 people crossed the Yangtze River and retreated to Pukou. ”
