Chapter 821: Wang Jingwei's Defection

Defection

Under everyone's anxious waiting, Wang Jingwei, who had a decadent face, finally opened his eyes. Then, he asked everyone straightforwardly.

"Dean Chen, can you confirm that the Japanese Central China Front has reached the point of hopelessness? You must know that in Zhenjiang, there are still a full 100,000 Japanese elites. On the way to Zhenjiang, there was also a field division of Japanese troops who were reinforcing Zhenjiang. If all these troops return to Nanjing City, there is still a possibility that Nanjing will be saved..."

Until this moment, Wang Jingwei, as the chairman of the puppet Nationalist Government, still held on to the last trace of hope that the Japanese army might carry out a counteroffensive at the end of the day. A pair of eyes stared closely at Chen Gongbo in front of him, waiting for Chen Gongbo's answer.

Facing Wang Jingwei's gaze, Chen Gongbo did not have any evasion, and said directly.

"Chairman, we all fell for the Japanese army. According to the latest information from our own intelligence department, the 100,000-strong army that was reinforcing Zhenjiang was ambushed by the East China Field Army on the way less than a few hours after leaving the city. By now, the entire force has completely lost contact. If nothing else, these 100,000 troops must be more than lucky. ”

"Because this incident will be a very huge blow to the morale of the entire Nanjing City defenders. So, so far, the news is in lockdown, and even we don't know...."

"As for the 100,000 Japanese troops outside Zhenjiang City. According to reliable intelligence, after several days of fighting, the 100,000 Japanese army had been sharply reduced to less than 70,000 troops. And these 70,000 people were also dragged to the Zhenjiang area by the East China Field Army in the city, and they had no ability to draw troops back to help Nanjing. ”

"In general, in a short period of time, the entire city of Nanjing will no longer receive any foreign aid."

After speaking, a long sigh came out of Chen Gongbo's mouth.

I have worked hard to be a traitor to the Japanese for several years, not to mention life and death, but I can also call it a hard work. And in this way, they have not yet gained the full trust of the Japanese army, and in the face of life and death, in order to prevent themselves and others from rebelling, they did not even report such important news. This had to make the big traitor Chen Gongbo feel heartache.

For a while, all the faces of everyone gathered in the office showed a sad look because of Chen Gongbo's answer. As long as it is a normal person, he can't stand the master he has worked so hard to help, and at a critical moment, he throws himself away, regardless of whether he asks.

And these people in front of them are not only normal people, but also some important people in China today. In the face of this kind of practice of the Japanese masters, everyone cannot accept it from the bottom of their hearts.

After a short silence, Zhou Fohai, vice president of the Executive Yuan, also spoke with the last glimmer of hope. After all, the truth of this matter is related to the fate of the rest of his life.

"Dean Chen, is the information true..."

"Dean Zhou, the entire intelligence agency was formed by the two of us. I'm sure you should believe in the real strength of our intelligence department, which we spent a lot of money on..." Chen Gongbo shook his head and replied.

"The little devil of the dog day is really a hungry wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones.

Chairman, the little devil sold us like this, what should we do next? For a while, a trace of anger couldn't help but appear on Zhou Fohai's face. He asked Wang Jingwei in front of him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the end of the little devil has come, then we should also think about our own way out. Because the entire city of Nanjing has been completely surrounded by the East China Field Army, we should not think about breaking through this road for the time being. It is impossible to break through, and there are only two roads left to follow. ”

"One way, follow the Japanese army one road to the black, and finally die on the battlefield and die in Nanjing. The second way, the battlefield is to fight back, and do a little good before dying... However, here, I want to remind you that no matter how hard we try, there is only one result. However, in the city of Nanjing, not only ourselves, but also our families, we must leave a way back for our families..."

"I'll give you five minutes to think about it, and after five minutes, we'll make a final decision... ̈" Wang Jingwei quickly glanced at several old subordinates in front of him, and said categorically.

With the sound of the alarm clock, five minutes passed in a blink of an eye. It was Wang Jingwei who spoke first, breaking the silent atmosphere in the office.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. The decisions that everyone will make are all written in their hands. If you agree to go to the black, write 'positive, word.' If you agree to fight back, you will write 'anti, word... ̈ Start now. ”

A minute later, it was not unexpected by Wang Jingwei. Several people, for the sake of her family, all chose to rebel. However, the next question once again troubled Wang Jingwei. That is, when and when will the tens of thousands of troops under his command give the little devil a knife from behind, and cooperate with the East China Field Army outside the city to take Nanjing City in one fell swoop.

Just as everyone frowned and fell into deep thought, an anxious adjutant rushed in. Before Wang Jingwei could ask, he spoke directly.

"Chairman, Dean Chen, Dean Zhou, I have just received the latest news from the Central China Front Command. The Japanese army intends to recruit 5,000 young men from all the Japanese expatriates in the city to participate in the battle to defend the city..."

"Is the news true?" In an instant, a sharp gaze flashed in Wang Jingwei's eyes, and he hurriedly asked.

"Totally true. So far, the Japanese army has already begun to act. At the same time, a large number of light weapons stored in the arsenal are also being transported to the headquarters..." The adjutant replied in the affirmative.

"Okay..." Wang Jingwei said excitedly, and his decadent face slowly showed a hint of joy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, judging from this news, the strength of the Japanese army has reached the point where it is stretched. Otherwise, they wouldn't have drawn expatriates who had not been trained much・・・・・・ now it seems that our opportunity has come. ”

Before everyone could react, Wang Jingwei, who was slightly excited, directly opened his mouth and ordered.

"Dean Chen, immediately give an order to all the combat units in the city: from now on, all combat units will enter a state of combat readiness. At the same time, I was put under surveillance, all the Japanese instructors in the army. No one is allowed to use a single soldier until they have received a direct order to fight from the three of us. ”

"Dean Zhou, you immediately send the most elite intelligence officers in our intelligence department to closely monitor every move of the Japanese Central China Front, especially the five thousand recruits that the Japanese army has just recruited. As long as there is any movement of these 5,000 recruits, report it immediately..."

"In addition, there should be a lot of ** underground parties in Nanjing that you have mastered. You will immediately deliver a message to them in my name. I, Wang Jingwei, am willing to lead tens of thousands of my subordinates to surrender on the battlefield, respond to their main force, take the city of Nanjing, and completely annihilate the Japanese Central China Front. However, we have one condition, and that is that after the battle is over, we must ensure the safety of our family in the future..."

"Yes, Chairman....."

With the arrival of Liu Hua, the command of the former enemy headquarters of the East China Field Army outside Nanjing was handed over to Liu Hua without accident.

Looking at the huge sand table in front of him, under the fiddling of a group of busy combat staff officers, it is constantly changing. The battle situation a few kilometers away was very clearly displayed in front of Liu Hua's eyes.

"Commander-in-Chief, judging by the current progress of the attacking forces. In a week at most, the Japanese puppet army in the city will be exhausted by our attack. When the time comes, the entire city of Nanjing will be at our fingertips..." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhen said excitedly.

As soon as his words fell, the voice of Sun Shiquan, chief of staff of the Seventh Corps, reached their ears in a very timely manner.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, not a week. I guarantee that in two days at most, the city of Nanjing will be trampled under our feet. This is the good news that the underground party in the city has just sent us. In the face of our heavy troops, the big traitor Wang Jingwei began to be unable to sit still... This is a telegram forwarded to us by Wang Jingwei through the underground party in the city...."

"Wang Jingwei.... Deputy Commander Wang, I'm really busy and confused, how can I forget this person. In Nanjing, there are not only the Central China Front Headquarters of the little devils, but also the puppet Nationalist Government of Wang Jingwei.... What does Telegram say? After a short period of shock, a look of surprise immediately enveloped Liu Hua's face.

"Wang Jingwei plans to lead tens of thousands of puppet troops in the city to surrender to the battlefield and cooperate with us to take Nanjing City in one fell swoop. However, he had one condition: he must ensure his safety and the safety of all high-ranking government officials and their families after the war...." Sun Shiquan replied.

"This Wang Jingwei knew to do a little good before he died. This requirement is not excessive, after all, it is no longer a feudal society, and there is no such thing as a set of plants. Call him back immediately in my name, and I, Liu Hua, promise him with the honor of a soldier that I will ensure the safety of his family after the war..."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...." Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan replied.

Looking at Chief of Staff Sun Shiquan, who was leaving quickly, Liu Hua's mood could be said to be very good. Facing Wang Zhen beside him, he said excitedly: "Deputy Commander Wang, this time, with the counterattack of Wang Jingwei and tens of thousands of puppet troops in Nanjing City, it will be easier for us to take Nanjing City..."
