Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 384 Intimidation
Xucun Town in the east of Yuhang County.
"Division, important news" Du Pingzhang, the confidential section chief who pushed open the door of the headquarters, rushed in like a gust of wind, raised the telegram in his hand, and said loudly to Wu Ming.
"Huh?"
Wu Ming, who was sitting around a small table with several colleagues eating fried peanuts, glanced at Du Pingzhang, who was a little depressed, and quipped: "What's the hurry, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man like me on top."
Du Pingzhang also felt that he was a little out of shape, shook his head in shame, and handed the message to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming took the message, frowned after reading a line, stood up and walked to the map, compared the message, and smashed his mouth: "What kind of medicine is sold in this little Japanese gourd?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Dongning, who followed Wu Ming to the front of the map, asked with concern.
Wu Ming pointed to Jiaxing's location with his finger and said unhappily: "The Seventh Division has arrived in Wuzhen, and our preparations have been in vain."
According to the intelligence, Kazuichiro Sonobe graduated from the 25th saber group of the Army University, he was arrogant, he had just been transferred to the commander of the Seventh Division a few months ago, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, Wu Ming asked Zhang Ying to lead the staff officers of the Operations Section to carefully design a trap according to the character characteristics of Kazuichiro Sonobe, so that he could jump down, but he didn't expect these arrangements to be useless, and he had to make Wu Ming feel helpless.
The situation on the battlefield is complex and changeable, and anything can happen, so it is indeed very difficult to anticipate enemy planes first.
Han Tiecheng also came to the map from the small table, looked up for a while, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't it a good thing that the Seventh Division doesn't come at us?" ”
"According to the latest information, Okamura Ninji has been appointed by Matsui Ishine as the commander of the southern front, this person is a cunning fox, where will there be good things when the battle changes" Wu Ming shook his head.
"It's not good."
Luo Yuming, the commander of the 1st Brigade who surrounded him, suddenly exclaimed: "The 2nd and 7th Divisions are obviously coming for our new 2nd Division, but they suddenly turn around at this time, and the 3rd Division is in danger for the time being."
"Yes, old dragon, if they treat Okamura Ningji as an ordinary opponent, they will definitely suffer a big loss" Wu Ming looked at Tiaoxi Village in the east of Wuxing City on the map, where the headquarters of the Temporary Third Division was located, and muttered: "Okamura Ningji is old and cunning, although Sonobe Kazuichiro is reckless, but with Okamura Ningji, a wise man, watching, his Seventh Division will become a sharp dagger...... The defense line of Nanxun and Wuxing is in danger"
It is not surprising that Wu Ming has this concern.
Kazuichiro Sonobe is a fierce general who dares to fight and rush, and Ninji Okamura is a handsome man who is scheming. The consequence of Kazuichiro Sonobe's resolute actions was that things were always not well thought out, but under Okamura Ninji, he made the best use of everything and brought into full play the indomitable combat characteristics of the 7th Division.
Okamura Ninji is good at strategy, but he does not have the momentum of desperate Saburo, he holds the sharp knife of Sonobe and Ichiro, and the combination of the two, each makes up for its shortcomings, which can be regarded as a golden combination.
Wu Ming analyzed the characteristics and personalities of the Japanese generals one by one, figured out their tactics and tactics, and listened to the generals and colonels who were fascinated.
"So how do we deal with it?" Zhang Dongning frowned and asked, "Do you need special instructions for the temporary third division?"
"Now Okamura Ninji is laying out the big chessboard on the battlefield on the south bank of Taihu Lake, where his next son will fall, we don't know yet, the only way is to respond to all changes with the same"
Wu Ming looked at the map, pointed to the border area between Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and said to Zhang Dongning: "Chief of Staff, you quickly contact Tian Zhenggang and ask him to find a way to transport a batch of grain from Jiangxi to the area between the Qingyang River and the East Tianmu Mountain in southern Anhui. I estimate that in the next few days, the temporary third division will have to go through a lot of hard fighting, and when they retreat into the mountains, the supply will be almost lost."
Zhang Dongning remembered Chairman Jiang's order: "Division, the chairman of the committee has specially allowed us to recruit soldiers in eastern Jiangxi, southern Anhui, southern Jiangsu, and western Zhejiang. After all, the situation has reached a very dangerous point now."
"I think it's okay, the defense of Nanjing is imminent, and the more than 700,000 troops of the national army are wiped out, and a large number of additional soldiers are indeed needed."
Wu Ming nodded and continued: "I don't think we should only expand the scale of the militia, but also strengthen the construction of the militia grassroots organizations."
"Militia?" Zhang Dongning was a little puzzled.
"That's right, farming in peacetime, being a soldier in wartime, is a militia."
Wu Ming briefly introduced two sentences, and said: "Compared with other national armies, we have the propaganda weapon of Phoenix Radio, and it is very easy to get the support of the people to distribute some of the weapons of our Phoenix Mountain Arsenal, so that the people in western Zhejiang, northern Zhejiang, and eastern Jiangxi can become our reliable soldiers."
"But—"
Zhang Dongning wanted to speak and stopped. Although the output of the Maoliangwu Arsenal is large, due to the outbreak of the war, the storage of production materials is limited after all, and the scale of production can only be controlled. In addition, most of the weapons and equipment stored in the warehouse are prepared for the new Second Army, which is about to be expanded, and Zhang Dongning is somewhat reluctant to distribute them to equip the militia.
In fact, not only Zhang Dongning is like this, but other generals are also reluctant.
"The Japanese invaders are raging, and the beacons are raging everywhere, and with us alone, in the face of the all-round firepower composed of Japanese aircraft, tanks, and artillery, when will they be expelled? We can only fully mobilize the people and set off an upsurge of the all-people war of resistance. ”
Wu Ming patiently persuaded.
In Wu Ming's vision, the New Second Army, as the main force, was mobilized in the mountainous areas of Qianligang, Tianmu Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, and Jiuhua Mountain, and the militia was used as a local force to cover the operations of the New Second Army, and at the same time organized the militia to assume the role of auxiliary and reserve soldiers, so as to build a new model of the war of resistance for all the people.
If it is fully implemented in accordance with Wu Ming's idea, the New Second Army will fully mobilize more than 8 million people in the border areas of the four provinces, and it will be in an invincible position in the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Seeing that Wu Ming had made up his mind, Zhang Dongning didn't say anything anymore, after all, Wu Ming's superhuman vision was not comparable to ordinary people, and he had repeatedly achieved results at critical moments.
Taking penicillin, which is currently being sold wildly throughout the country, as an example, it is the fruitful result of Wu Mingqiangang's dictatorship. Now the whole country thinks that this life-saving special medicine is imported, and the black market price is very outrageous, and since the Battle of Songhu, at least 10 million oceans of income have been brought to the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, which is also where Wu Ming's confidence lies in daring to launch the National War of Resistance.
After the discussion, Wu Ming raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to everyone: "It's time for Phoenix Radio to be on time, let's hear what news is there today."
Nowadays, listening to the news every day has become an important collective activity of the New Second Division, and the radio broadcasts not only current affairs reports that expose the atrocities of the Japanese army and reflect the concerted efforts of our army and people to resist the war, but also reports on the domestic war.
In addition to the news obtained by the Mao Liangwu Chamber of Commerce from intelligence stations in North China and East China, Major General Chiang Ching-kuo, who was in charge of political propaganda work in the New Second Division, had a rather special status, and was able to obtain a lot of secret information from the Central Unification, the Military Command, and the Nanjing Central News Agency, and some of the information was even faster and more accurate than the information from Ye Zhuhan and Zhu Wenhua's intelligence departments.
Zhang Ying turned on the radio, and a somewhat hoarse female voice came out of the radio speaker:
"Listeners in front of the radio, today is a day that will always be remembered by future generations, why do you say that? Because we have once again seen the meanness and shamelessness of the Japanese, and it can even be said that they are mad. At 4 o'clock this afternoon, our radio intercepted a radio speech from the Japanese military channel, saying that the Japanese Government and army, in order to achieve the goal of forcing the surrender of the Republic of China, are preparing to carry out a brutal and inhumane massacre after capturing Nanjing, the capital of our country."
There was a suppressed cry from the loudspeaker, and the female announcer sobbed for a while, choked up and said, "Now please ask our director to play the content of the Japanese military channel that we intercepted." ”
After the sound of the electric current, there was a burst of chattering Japanese, and just when many people were confused, a very stiff voice translated the above words into Chinese Mandarin:
"The government of China, the central and local armies of China that are in the process of defeat, and all the people of China: Japan and China have a long history, a strip of water, in the past, there were Tang envoys and Jianzhen to cross to the east, and they were integrated with each other, and in modern times, the Republic of China expelled the Manchus with the help of the Japanese Empire to establish a republic, and the two countries can be described as interdependent. The Great Japanese Empire is a very peace-loving country, and this entry into the land of China is to help you overthrow the rotten Nationalist Government and establish a new regime that is supported by the people of all East Asia. ”
"The reason why China is poor and backward is because of the corruption of governments at all levels, from the central to the local level, which leads to anger and resentment, and disasters occur every year. Your leader, Chiang Kai-shek, was a despicable and filthy man who was expelled from the Tokyo Zhenwu Military Academy, the preparatory school of our Army Non-commissioned Officer School, because of all kinds of evil deeds, and after he returned to China, he went around swaggering and deceiving, and finally became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and then ascended to today's position, in fact, he was a dropout who did not even graduate from the Lu Shi Preparatory School, which can be described as shameless."
"We, the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Army, have come to China with compassion to help you out of your suffering. However, in Manchuria, in Inner Mongolia, in Pingjin, in Shanxi, in Songhu...... In many places, your people are deeply hostile to our Imperial Japanese Army. The Imperial Army of Japan has been harmed again and again by your soldiers, workers, and peasants, and it is unbearable."
"Here, the Imperial Tokyo Base Camp and the Front Army Command believe that as the propagators of advanced civilization, as the conquerors of China, and as the victors of the Japanese-Chinese War, it is necessary for us to return these hostility and hatred doubly, and we will destroy all those who pose a threat to our Imperial Japanese Army, and we will show the bravery of the Imperial Japanese Army by slaughtering the city in your capital Nanjing......"
After that, the voice gradually became blurred, and just as the words that everyone thought were threatening by the Japanese ended, another clear voice came:
“…… The headquarters of the front army has decided not to seal the sword for three days from the date of entering Nanjing, and I ask the military and people of your country to recognize the reality and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not be left ......behind."
As the Japanese were cut off, the voice of the female announcer of Phoenix Radio reappeared: "The Japanese army's behavior of glorifying aggression has been outrageous, but they also openly declared that they want to massacre a city in the capital of a country, which is a naked banditry, a great challenge to modern civilized society, and a public enemy of all mankind." Here, on behalf of all the staff of Phoenix Radio, I would like to swear to the listeners and friends that as long as the Nationalist Government gives an order, we, the civilian personnel, will also take up arms and fight to the death against the Japanese invaders
"Arise, ...... you who do not want to be slaves"
As the high-spirited "March of the Volunteers" sounded, the enthusiastic generals in front of the radio clenched their fists and sang aloud.
When the music ended, it switched to the stiff Japanese voice:
"Listeners of China, who have heard this broadcast, I now solemnly warn you, if you do not surrender, wherever our Imperial Japanese Army goes, all the men in China will be killed, and all the women will be sold to Nanyang to become prostitutes. Here, on behalf of the front army, I solemnly declare that the day we attack your Nanjing, we will definitely let every inch of the walls of your capital be sprinkled with the blood of your people, and everyone will die. We want your entire capital to be buried with the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army who died in battle, Halu Ha ......"
Listening to the rampant laughter of the Japanese, the generals in the room all hated it.
Zhang Ying changed the channel again, and it was playing the previously stiff and rampant Japanese voice, and everyone knew that this was the signal of the Japanese radio station intercepted by Phoenix Radio.
Seeing everyone's angry looks, Wu Ming, who was familiar with the inside story, was very emotional, all this was arranged by him personally, in the name of the Japanese, to intimidate the people of Nanjing as much as possible, in order to urge the citizens of Nanjing to move as soon as possible, that Japanese official language is very blunt is none other than Maeda Shinka, who has made meritorious contributions.
With the withdrawal of the main force of the Chinese army from the Xicheng Line, it is only a matter of time before the final fall of the defense fortifications of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Nanjing Massacre is not far away, and I don't know how many innocent Nanjing citizens can be scared away by this broadcast, so that they can stay away from this disaster.
