Chapter 130: Tang Shengzhi's Determination

The explosion of the Shanghai headquarters caused the Japanese army to lose two major generals, five large generals, and more than 100 other officers above the rank of lieutenant, and the intelligence chief Kagezo Zhenzhao was seriously injured and unconscious, but it was Toyama Geming, when the explosion occurred, he was suddenly caught by the ninjas who protected him and jumped out of the building, only slightly injured. But such a large price was enough for the Japanese army to go crazy.

The Japanese intelligence team began to operate on a large scale in Shanghai, and the billowing smoke after the bombing of the Shanghai Command and the Hongkou Arsenal made the foreign reporters in the concession seem to climax, they thought that after the Battle of Songhu, Shanghai had become the world of the Japanese, but seeing this thick smoke, everyone understood that the Chinese may have temporarily lost the frontal battlefield, but the battlefield behind enemy lines has just begun.

- Tokyo

"Is that the answer you gave me? As I have said before, the problem is not what we have done, but how the whole world reacts to what we have done, and we have occupied a large number of territories in China during the Shina Incident, and those European and American countries have opinions about us, and now the whole world is laughing at us, laughing at me, the emperor!! Tell me, is everything you do in Shanghai just to make me the laughing stock of the world? Hirohito stared at Konoe Fumiro with blood-red eyes, staring viciously at Konoe Fumiro, and looked at Konoe Fumiro's sweat.

"This shame must be washed away, no matter what the cost, it must be washed away!!" Hirohito shouted as he slapped the table hard.

Konoe cautiously retreated, found Sugiyama Moto, and said angrily, "His Majesty the Emperor is very angry about the Shanghai incident, and your army must catch the murderer, and you must give an account for this incident." ”

Sugiyama said hesitantly, "So do you want to make some adjustments to Matsui Ishone?" ”

Konoe thought for a moment and said, "Everything is based on the premise that it will not affect the battle of Nanjing, you tell Matsui Ishine, take Nanjing, everything is easy to say, if there is any more accident, be loyal to the emperor." ”

- Nanjing

Tang Shengzhi sat in the car. Looking at the chaotic people on the road, they couldn't move their cars, and scolded, "What's the matter? Why don't you move? ”

The driver was embarrassed and said, "The people in front of me have blocked the road, and now they can't move at all." ”

Tang Shengzhi said strangely: "How can there be so many people? There are no 300,000 in Nanjing City, why are there so many people on the road? ”

The staff officer next to him said, "The news that the national defense line has been broken has come, and now the people are saying that Nanjing can't be defended, and I heard that even many soldiers have escaped?" ”

Tang Shengzhi slapped the seat hard and said, "Is there a spy?" Is there a spy doing something wrong? Disturbing the people's minds? Now is the time for the military and the people to unite and defend Nanjing, why does such a thing happen? No, I won't go to Purple Mountain, I'll go to the dock instead. ”

The driver looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "Commander." Can't move at all now? ”

"Do you have burning sticks in your hands? Go, and ask the soldiers to make a way for me. Is it now that these mud legs are important, or are military lives important? Tang Shengzhi scolded, and when the guards heard this, they immediately took out their armed belts as leather whips, and simply pulled out a road. Suddenly crying, Tang Shengzhi closed the glass window, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Tang Shengzhi came to Zhongshan Wharf, which is the lifeline of the entire Nanjing, and countless people are waiting on Zhongshan Wharf. Several ferries were constantly transporting people across the river. Because the Japanese army was still far away, although the people were a little panicked, they were generally calm, and some troops and police were constantly maintaining order.

Tang Shengzhi looked at the telescope and nodded. The commander here was quite satisfied, and suddenly, he saw two soldiers in military uniforms in a corner. Secretly changing clothes, he took off his military uniform after a while and threw it into the river. Then he came out and blended into the ranks of the people.

"Go, do you see those two people? Catch me! Tang Shengzhi shouted, and the guards next to him took a look, and immediately rushed out, dragging the two people in front of Tang Shengzhi.

"What are you going to do? We are good people, the common people of Nanjing. The two of them said in Nanjing.

"Oh ~ ordinary people? Someone, search me! Tang Shengzhi whipped it and shouted, and after a while, he found a bayonet from the two of them, and it turned out that the two did not dare to keep their guns, so they only took a bayonet for self-defense.

Tang Shengzhi shook the bayonet and asked, "What is this?" Do you have anything else to explain? ”

The two hurriedly said, "Boss, we picked this thing, it's not safe on this road, just in case." ”

Tang Shengzhi nodded, pointed to their feet and said, "You also picked up this military shoe?" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Tang Shengzhi shouted, "Pull down, shoot!" ”

"The chief spares his life, the chief spares his life." The two of them begged for mercy and slowly left, and Tang Shengzhi said, "Look, there must be more than one or two such people, and if you don't stop such an unhealthy trend, I don't think I need to defend this Nanjing City, go back to the headquarters and have a meeting." ”

Tang Shengzhi sat in a high position in the center, he took a deep breath, feeling this long-lost feeling, he became famous at a young age, and he was also the first person to be Ming in the year, participated in the alliance, and was once a warlord, three times against Jiang, and finally 918 o'clock for the unanimous external to the outside world, and Jiang intermediary made peace, but since then he has lost real power It has been almost seven years now, these seven years he has been walking on thin ice every day, for fear that he will one day be settled by Jiang Mediation, through the two performances of the Liangguang Incident and the Xi'an Incident, and finally got the favor of Jiang Mediation, Now that he can control the military power again, Tang Shengzhi understands that this may be his biggest opportunity.

Tang Shengzhi opened his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "Today, I went to the dock and found two deserters, which makes me want to ask, are there many such situations in your troops?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Gui Yongqing laughed softly, "I don't know about others, we will never have such deserters in the teaching corps." ”

Gui Yongqing was born in the first phase of Huangpu, and was praised as a model of Huangpu by Jiang Zhong, and at this time he was a lieutenant general and taught the commander of the corps.

Sun Yuanliang was one of the first three commanders of the German Armament Division, and he had always secretly competed with the Teaching Corps, and immediately said, "There will be no deserters in our 72nd Army." ”

Tang Shengzhi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm a ghost, I won't investigate where the previous deserters came from, from today on, the army uses the method of continuous sitting, and a soldier is a deserter." A squad was shot, a squad escaped, the entire platoon was shot, and a company escaped, so let the regiment commander go to see the former prime minister, Nanjing City is the capital of our Republic of China, whoever dares to retreat without a fight will be killed. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little moved when they heard it, and they were also a little afraid when they looked at Tang Shengzhi's eyes.

Tang Shengzhi was very satisfied with everyone's performance, looked at Xiao Shanling and said, "The gendarmerie must play its own functions. The gendarmerie should go down to the company and report any deserters to the police. ”

"You don't believe us!" Xu Yuanquan stood up and said angrily, Xu Yuanquan was an officer of Wuchang Shouyi back then, and he once led three hundred student soldiers to fight against the Qing soldiers, and was called a fierce general for a while. Originally, he was not in Nanjing, but Chiang ordered him to hurry east from Hubei in order to strengthen Nanjing's power.

"General Xu, this is also so that we can be united. In addition, I decided to blockade the Zhongshan Pier. Tang Shengzhi continued.

"What? Blockade of Zhongshan Wharf, what should so many ordinary people do? There are still a lot of people who haven't withdrawn. "Wang Jingjiu is from Jiangsu. Hearing this, I couldn't help but say excitedly.

"What are you afraid of, did I say that you won't let the people retreat?" Tang Shengzhi said confidently, "There is no waterway, isn't there a land route, the dock is too chaotic." Let the common people leave by land. ”

"What, by land? Don't take a good waterway, take a land route? The crowd couldn't help but feel inexplicable.

Tang Shengzhi said: "Everyone knows that Nanjing is a city surrounded by water. To blockade the river and let the people go by land, it is necessary to pass through the railway bridge, to have a regiment stationed there, to keep a strict watch on the people who leave, and to never allow any more deserters, in order to show my determination, I decided to move all the ferries upstream. Therefore, the soldiers and officers must make up their minds and swear to live and die with Nanjing! ”

"Does Commander Tang think we can win? This ship is all gone, what are we going to do? Luo Zhuoying was the deputy commander, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that Tang Shengzhi had given such an order without consulting him.

"Hehe, I know you have this question, I am here to give you a clear breath, Chairman Jiang and I had a secret talk when we were evacuated, and now, there are about 150,000 people from Yunnan, Guangxi, and Sichuan who are moving towards us, and Chairman Jiang said that as long as we hold out for half a month, he will personally lead the three divisions of Yunnan to come to the rescue, and when the time comes, we will attack together inside and outside, and gather and annihilate the Japanese army and Jinling City."

All the generals rolled their eyes, such an unreliable plan will be taken seriously by your Commander Tang, and it is enough to gather and annihilate, and you can take everyone out. ”

Tang Shengzhi got up and said, "It's decided, whoever dares to say anything about retreating, please go and talk to Chairman Jiang, go to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and talk to the former prime minister." After saying that, he got up and left, and the people who stayed behind looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

Tang Shengzhi walked halfway, suddenly thought about it, and said to the soldiers next to him, "You, go find a steamer, hide it, and don't let anyone know, understand?" ”

The soldier nodded, and immediately ran out to do it.

- Zhongshan Wharf

Seeing the boats leaving one by one, the people waiting at the Zhongshan wharf screamed anxiously.

"What's going on? How did the ship go? Everyone shouted, "Boss, why is this ship gone?" ”

A middle-aged officer shouted with a loudspeaker, "In order to fight to the death in the whole city, according to the order of the commander-in-chief of Tang, all ships are not allowed to cross the river, and the people of Nanjing City must leave Nanjing by railway bridge."

"What? Don't let us go? Okay, let's not go. An old man dropped the box and shouted.

The young man next to him hurriedly said, "Dad, let's leave by land, this devil is coming, Nanjing City will definitely fight a big war, what if the wave hits us?" ”

The aunt on the other side also said, "That's it, this gun has no eyes, what should I do if I hit it?" Let's go. With a sigh, he picked up the package and walked up.

The old man shook his head and said, "Don't go, don't go, I've lived for more than fifty years, it's enough, I've been in Nanjing all my life, and Nanjing has fought so many battles for so many years and nothing has happened." ”

The young man said anxiously, "But the Japanese are not good people, haven't you read the newspaper, in Shanxi, in Shanghai, there were massacres." ”

The old man smiled and said, "That's the suburbs of Shanghai, a small city in Shanxi, what kind of place are we, Jinling Wangcheng, there are so many foreigners and envoys here, do they dare to mess around?" Listen to me, go back, go back. ”

Everyone couldn't get through it, so they had to listen to him return to his home in Nanjing, when a female student rushed over and said, "Uncle Liu, why don't you leave?" The devil is about to call in a few days, haven't you heard that the devil is going to carry out a massacre. ”

Then Uncle Liu sneered: "Which way did you listen to the fairy this hairy girl?" ”

The schoolgirl stomped her foot and said, "It's true, you can go quickly." ”

"Yes, let's go, but before leaving, can Uncle Liu sell your house to the younger brother?" A somewhat angry voice came, and when everyone looked at it, the female student shouted, "Hu Hui, why are you here?" ”

That Hu Hui was thin and tall, with a mustache and a civilized stick, and said, "My good cousin, Hu Ping, why are you here, didn't I hear that Master Liu is back, so I came to discuss the problem of this house?" How about it, Master Liu, this Japanese is here, and you don't want to be a submissive citizen, who is this house for, it's better to give it to me, the price, it's easy to discuss. ”

Hu Ping said angrily, "When is it, why do you still want to buy a house and do business." ”

That Hu Hui grabbed her over and whispered, "This Japanese is here, isn't life still going to live, now everyone is fleeing, this house has fallen to the usual one, don't buy it now, your brother I'm not stupid, as soon as the war is over, no matter whether the Japanese or the Nationalist Government are in charge of this Nanjing City, we will send it." ”

Hu Ping stomped her feet and wanted to scold, but Hu Hui hurriedly said, "My good sister, don't be stupid, my brother died early, who sponsored your studies for so many years?" It's not our family yet, listen to me, and when the time comes, I'll give you a thicker dowry. ”

Hu Ping said angrily, "When the Japanese come, it's a problem to live, and they still talk about this." Do you know that the Japanese are preparing to carry out a massacre in Nanjing. ”

Hu Hui smiled and said, "Which neuropathy told you, and the massacre, he dared to move to give it a try, besides, when we go to the place of foreigners, who dares to move, didn't you see what the newspaper said, don't the people of Taiyuan do this, don't you worry, ah, Master Liu, let's talk about this house." ”

That Master Liu pushed Hu Hui away and shouted, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to die in Nanjing City, whoever you love will go, I, Liu Sanfa, will not leave at home." ”

Hu Ping ran over again and grabbed the young man and said, "Liu Yan, the news that the Japanese are going to kill people is something we have worked so hard to get, it's true, you have to believe me." ”

Liu Yan looked at Hu Ping and said embarrassedly, "It's not that I don't believe it, Dad, let's go." ”

Liu Sanfa asked, "Where did you get this news?" ”

Hu Ping looked at Liu Yan and said, "I am from the Red Party Youth League, this is the news of the secret intelligence of the Red Party, please believe me, I am willing to tell you that I am a member of the Red Party, which represents my sincerity." ”

"Sister, you're crazy, you actually joined the Red Party." Hu Hui said in disbelief.

"The news of the Red Party, hahahaha, okay, we can rest assured in Nanjing City, if the Red Party's words can be believed, the sun can rise from the west, old woman, go buy some food, we will not leave at home." Liu Sanfa laughed when he heard that it was the Red Party, you must know that he was a member of the League back then, and it was better for him to believe in the Red Party than to make him believe that the Japanese entered Nanjing to make him emperor. After speaking, he didn't want to listen to Hu Ping's words anymore, and directly coaxed Hu Ping out.

Hu Hui sighed, "Yes, this one is not good, I will go to the next one, my good sister, you better go home early, this is a mess, what if something happens?" I can't explain it to your mother. ”

Hu Ping said angrily, "Don't you want to die and don't leave?" ”

Hu Hui smiled: "I'm living and dying with Nanjing!" You can rest assured, it's going to be fine, if you want to go, just take your mother away. ”

Hu Ping shook her head and reluctantly went to the next house to persuade her. (To be continued......)
