Chapter 207: The Bloody Battle of Nanjing (5)
Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to the field was definitely a huge shock to the entire Republic of China, because no one thought that Nanjing, which had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and was ready to fight the Tenth Group Army, would give up like this.
The attitude of the United States was inclined to the Tenth Army, because Liu Yuan made his career in the United States, and he had the shadow of countless American conglomerates, and when the great powers were preparing to interfere in China's internal affairs, the United States and Germany immediately chose neutrality. Britain and Japan are the only ones that are ready to interfere in China's internal affairs, and the amount of power that Britain can use is mainly concentrated in South Asia, so it is impossible to provide much support, so the only one who is ready to forcibly interfere in China's internal affairs by force is Japan.
A long time ago, the Japanese discovered the existence of Liu Yuan, a young man, which was a huge threat to Japan's policy of aggression against China, because they felt that an invisible net was slowly weaving all the time, restricting Japan's influence and expansion on China, especially because of the existence of Unilever, Japanese goods were not very popular in China, and Lihua actually adopted the method of joint development of business with local Chinese businessmen, so that their consortium had a national color. Their business quickly squeezed out Japanese business in China.
What annoyed the Japanese the most was that Japan's intelligence power in China was constantly weakening, and Japan's intelligence power in China was very strong, and it had gone through several generations of efforts, but with the beginning of the Northern Expedition of the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government, several intelligence forces sprung up in the shadows of China, and they not only eliminated the Chinese officials who had been bribed, but even the Japanese intelligence officers died inexplicably because of various means.
Liu Yuan is also a Whampoa Shaozhuang faction that has always emphasized the theory of the Japanese threat, and his influence in China is beyond doubt. So the Japanese have long regarded him as a thorn in their side. Therefore, since the beginning of Liu Yuan's Eastern Crusade, the Japanese have been preparing for armed intervention in China's internal affairs.
A large number of armed forces were secretly dispatched to China, and many Japanese expatriates and Lang people were issued weapons, and they were infiltrated into China's armed forces, and boatloads of weapons were secretly transported to Nanjing with the tacit approval of the Nanjing Nationalist Government.
Chiang Kai-shek's dismissal was also a wise way to protect himself, because under his rule, such a large-scale Japanese armed force in Nanjing could not be said in any case.
With the fall of Chiang Kai-shek, a large number of Kuomintang rightists also left the government, Zhang Jingjiang and others carried huge sums of money to the United States to invest in overseas businesses, and Dai Jitao lurked in Hong Kong and never showed up again.
The fists of the 10th Army had the feeling of hitting cotton, not only did they not hit anyone, but they also seriously injured themselves.
However, Liu Yuan was the intelligence of the phoenix, "The Japanese armed forces and the coordinated landing of more than 25,000 marines are preparing to forcibly occupy Nanjing. In addition to lamenting the strong ability of Li Kenong, a young intelligence organizer, Liu Yuan also had a trace of resentment towards the Red Party, which made him very sad that they did not help him at this time, and in his opinion, the interests of the nation and the country came first at any time.
Liu Yuan is very clear that the ideas of the Japanese military and the base camp are rarely the same, and most of the time it can be said that the military drives the thinking of the base camp.
Liu Yuan knew very well that it was very likely that the Japanese military did not have the permission of the base camp to do so, but once Japan forcibly occupied Nanjing, it would be difficult to create a fait accompli, so it would be basically impossible to get Japan to spit out Nanjing.
Therefore, Liu Yuan convened a meeting of all the officers of the Tenth Group Army.
Liu Yuan told everyone about the current situation of the Tenth Group Army, and everyone was very happy when Zhilu Dao Nanjing City could be easily taken, but when Zhilu Dao was about to face Japan's military strength, everyone was silent again.
It stands to reason that the 10th Group Army is not afraid of Japan's military strength, and because Liu Yuan has always instilled national ideology, all the officers of the 10th Group Army hate the Japanese very much, but the 10th Group Army is a tired division, its combat effectiveness has been weakened by at least 20 percent, and the material consumption is very serious.
At the same time, the most terrifying thing is that the civil strife is restless, and the Tenth Group Army could have fought against the Japanese, but with the existence of more than 200,000 troops on the other side of the Yangtze River, and Bai Chongxi, who was about to move, he had to let the Tenth Group Army be careful and careful.
In particular, Zuo Quan, as chief of staff, was particularly opposed to playing with the Japanese, and he knew that if he did not do well, it was very likely that the Japanese would be seriously injured, and this was not the most dangerous, but the danger was his own people, and when both sides were defeated, if he took action, it was very likely that the Tenth Army would fall into a place of no return.
But there is also support, especially Jiang Xianyun, he insisted that as a people's army, no matter how to let the Japanese troops wreak havoc on the land of China, and in state affairs, the warlords will not mess around, the big warlords of this era still have their own discipline, and they will not easily have the idea of being traitors, so if the Tenth Army fights with the Japanese, they will not stab them in the back, and he firmly believes that after the elimination of Japan, the Tenth Army is fully capable of breaking through the encirclement, and he is not ready to stay in Nanjing, a flowery land, for a long time.
Liu Yuan did not participate in the discussion, but has been observing the map, at this time the data given by the staff officer is no longer of much use, because there are too many unstable factors, if you want to fight this battle, it depends more on the courage of the commander.
Du Yuming is a calm person, which is also the reason why Liu Yuan has been cultivating him, because he can ensure a calm mind at all times.
Du Yuming walked towards Liu Yuan, "Is this battle going to be fought?" If we fight, it is estimated that our future path will not be too easy, and we will offend the Japanese, and our organization will not be able to develop well in the future. After all, many people in power are Japanese students, but if we don't fight, what will the soldiers think, what the people will think, the reason why we are not warlords is because we dare to say that we are the people's army, and if we retreat because of the arrival of the Japanese, we will not have the right to call ourselves the people's army. ”
Although Du Yuming's words are not very clear, but he said that he is doing everyone's contradictions, and everyone focuses on the young man who is dragging his chin to think, from the Northern Expedition to the present, this young commander-in-chief has not missed it, and this time it may not be wrong.
Liu Yuan pointed to the map and said, this battle is going to be fought, do you see it, the place where the Japanese appeared is Tianbao Mountain and Purple Mountain, this is to cut off our back road, I estimate that the Japanese will unite with the warlords to eliminate us, and then support their strength, just like supporting Zhang Zuolin, but the warlords who unite with the Japanese must be the kind of small warlords who can't make the climate, so we don't have to be too afraid, and if we want to fight with the Japanese, we have to fight a war, didn't Sun Tzu say it? The aggression is like a fire, and we will burn this group of Japanese people like a flame at once, and then carry out a strategic shift according to our original plan, and our mission has been accomplished.
The exam month is coming, and Xu Ke is going to change to a daily shift, sorry.
