Chapter 684: Black Cauldron
Guangzhou was lost, and the defense line of the Fourth Theater moved north to the area of northern Guangdong. Due to the occupation of Guangzhou, the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway has been occupied by the Japanese army! The mainland is in danger!
On the evening of the 22nd, the State Mansion of Nanjing.
"Smack!" Jiang Zhongzheng threw the pen in his hand on the map and scolded: "Messy!! Yu Han has no plan! Wu Tie lost the city! I have raised no spectrum!! ”
Everyone was silent and listened quietly to Jiang Zhongzheng's angry scolding. It was all known that Jiang Zhongzheng was scolding the enemy, and Yu Hanmou, Guangdong Provincial Governor Wu Tiecheng, and Guangzhou Mayor Zeng Yangfu led the party, government, and military organs of Guangdong Province to evacuate Guangzhou.
But everyone knows in their hearts that the reason why Yu Hanmou can't stand it is that Jiang Zhongzheng is inseparable from the relationship. A part of Yu Hanmou's elite troops was deployed to garrison Nanjing.
And the Air Force is not much left, on the other hand, the Japanese army has four aircraft carriers plus various types of artillery! Yu Hanmou can hold it, it's really hell!
According to Sun Yuanliang's recollection, after the start of the Anti-Japanese War, Guangdong's five main divisions were transferred and defended by only seven divisions with inferior equipment and training. Excluding the garrisons in the towns, there are less than 10,000 people on the coastline. In such a situation, how could Yu Hanmou defend himself?!
"How's the rest of the place now?!" Pinching his aching temples, Jiang Zhongzheng said to He Yingqin in the conference room. He Yingqin didn't dare to slack off, stood up and whispered to Jiang Zhongzheng.
"The Japanese army on the Shandong side landed in Qingdao, and Han Fuyu had already sent troops to block it. But no news has been sent back so far. On the Tianjin side, Song Zheyuan reported that the Japanese army was ready to move in the Japanese concession in Tianjin! There seems to be signs of activation......"
"The same is true for Shanghai, where the Japanese army has gathered a large number of troops in the concession. But if they don't attack, we can't stop it according to the concession regulations......"
Everyone couldn't help sighing, and Jiang Zhongzheng was speechless. Obviously, I knew that the Japanese army was starting a war now, but I couldn't react! Let those Japanese troops assemble in the concession.
Of course, Ho Ying-chin would not have mentioned the Wehrmacht's war in Korea to Chiang Zhongzheng. There, the Japanese army gathered more than 150,000 troops, but did not capture the 38th parallel.
In the Korean war, the Japanese army dispatched more than 1,000 fighters, 50 tanks and more than 30,000 troops to fight a battle! It was far more intense than in Guangdong, but it failed.
In fact. Even if He Yingqin didn't mention Jiang Zhongzheng, he knew it in his heart. Because the Wehrmacht has been electrified throughout the country, the whole country is cheering for the victory of the Wehrmacht.
If the news of the defeat of Guangdong and the loss of Guangzhou spreads, the entire Nanjing government will definitely be disgraced!
But the news can't be prevented, even if the Nanjing government itself doesn't say it, but the Japanese won't say it! It is estimated that the news will be reported tomorrow at the latest. When the time comes, how can Nanjing be embarrassed? !
"Yu Huqi is still good, if it is dealt with, it will definitely hurt people's hearts. Brother Huqi lost the city, but he still insisted on resisting the war, and his heart was pitiful. It would be better for him to continue to command the Cantonese army to resist Japan......"
Yang Yongtai said softly to Jiang Zhongzhen, and everyone nodded. In fact, they don't have the confidence to take over the mess left by Yu Hanmou now, what else is there to do if it is all like that? !
Besides, the elite of the Guangdong army has been mobilized, and now it is good to swallow it directly and become the Central Army. Those remnants of the army were defeated. It's useless to come. Moreover, who has the confidence not to lose when it comes to fighting the Japanese army head-on?! No one wants to take an adventure!
"Chang Qing is right! I went to send a telegram to comfort Woo Qi, and said that he should continue to resist the Japanese on his own! If there is any more mistakes, don't blame me for the marching method......"
Jiang Zhongzheng sneered and said, anyway, the elite of the Yue army is already in his hands. Those five divisions are in hand, and the remaining remnants make little difference. Give him Yu Han a toss, if something happens, he will kill him! Adopting his team, this can be regarded as buying a favor, isn't it?!
When I received the telegram from Nanjing. Yu Hanmou had just led the party, government, and military organs stationed in Guangdong to retreat to Lianxian, and set up a defensive line in the area from Yingde to Heyuan.
Holding the telegram, Yu Hanmou was silent, and did not mention any words to supplement ordnance and soldiers. Just tell yourself. There must be no mistake in sticking here, and then there will be a military law to deal with it!
Yu Hanmou was furious! How do I keep it?! The troops below are all smashed, how can I fight without replenishment of troops and equipment?! How to keep?! Do you have a machine gun on the chest of your brothers?!
However, Yu Hanmou didn't know that an even bigger storm was coming!
On the 23rd, the news of the loss of Guangzhou spread all over the country! Compared with the fact that the Wehrmacht withstood the Japanese attack in Korea, Yu Hanmou's defeat was infinitely magnified!
"Yu Han has no plan! Wu Tie lost the city! There is no spectrum of raising! The land of Nanyue has always produced many heroes, and there are countless revolutionary pioneers! How could such a bastard who abandoned the land, the city, and the people come out!! ”
At the meeting of the Nanjing State Government, after learning that the Battle of Guangzhou had been lost, Yu Hanmou and others had withdrawn from Guangzhou, and the members of the Guangdong nationality in the entire meeting hall could not help but cry bitterly!
Several committee members scolded Jiang Zhongzheng angrily: "This person is not severely punished!" Why is the French army disciplined?! Flee from the battle, abandon the city and leave it undefended! Worthy of being a soldier! Shame on the soldiers!! ”
Jiang Zhongzheng's face was red when he was scolded, but he didn't say much. Guangdong was originally the birthplace of the revolution, and none of these speakers are younger than him!
The influence is very strong both at home and in the national capital. This group of people spoke out together, and Jiang Zhongzheng also had to make a gesture. But Jiang Zhongzheng still doesn't want to remove Yu Hanmou, who will evacuate him to carry the black cauldron of northern Guangdong? !
"Although Brother Qiqi made a mistake this time, it is also a crime of non-war caused by carelessness!" He Yingqin hurriedly came out to play a round and said to the committee members: "There is still to be punishment, but you can't be beaten to death with a stick, right?!" Brother Huqi has lived in northern Guangdong for a long time, and the terrain, the heart of the army and the hearts of the people are all there. It may not be better if you replace someone else......"
With He Yingqin opening his mouth, Jiang Zhongzheng naturally knew to look for the bottom of the stairs.
"Yu Yuqi still wants to be punished, so let him be removed from his post and stay in office! It can be regarded as a chance to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, and if he loses it again, we will punish him with military discipline in the national government......"
This can be regarded as setting the tone for Yu Hanmou's affairs, and Jiang Zhongzheng directly ignored the noisy student protests outside the parliament. If it was really too noisy, he wouldn't mind letting the gendarmes below clean it up.
At noon on the 23rd, Mukden.
Tu Qianjun circulated the telegram in his hand to the high-level leaders of the National Defense Force and the high-level officials of the three eastern provinces, and after reading it, everyone couldn't help but sigh and be speechless. This result was not expected by them, and the Wehrmacht had conducted numerous rehearsals in the course of the war.
If the Cantonese army was able to hold on for more than half a month, it would be a miracle. The Japanese army dispatched tens of thousands of troops, nearly 100 fighters and tanks, to deal with a unit like the Cantonese army, which had no anti-tank weapons, lacked air defense, and relatively weak personnel training.
Being able to fight like this shows that the Cantonese army has enough blood and bravery. It's a pity that Yu Hanmou finally chose to evacuate, and Tu Qianjun was not worried about the future war in northern Guangdong.
Northern Guangdong is mountainous, which is not suitable for mechanized troops to deploy. And after all, this place is Yu Hanmou's territory, and the Japanese army is not familiar enough. If Yu Hanmou made up his mind, he would still be able to withstand it.
"Let the Long Yun Department send some machine guns and artillery to Yu Hanmou through Li Zongren......" Tu Qianjun was silent for a while, and said to Su Zongzhen beside him. And Su Zongzhe also nodded, if northern Guangdong can hold on, it will also be a good thing for the national defense army.
"How's the rest of the world going?!" Then Tu Qianjun said to Wang Yajiao, who came to attend the meeting, Wang Yajiao couldn't help but be a little nervous when he came to participate in such a meeting for the first time.
After getting the Wehrmacht to fight with the Japanese army in Korea, and the Japanese soldiers who killed them were forced to withdraw, Wang Yajiao was excited and drunk! When he was drunk, he cried, crying for himself and for those comrades who had revolutionized with him.
Nanjing was corrupted, and it didn't even dare to declare war. I came to the three eastern provinces, not only declared war, but also fought to the death with the Japanese in Korea! It's the head that kills!
"The situation in Shandong is not good, and the firepower and strength of the Japanese army are significantly stronger than Han Fuyu. If there is a fight, the consequences will be unpredictable......" After calming down, Wang Yajiao reported to everyone.
For the first time, Wang Yajiao felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy! The entire decision-making of the Wehrmacht needs to be supported by his intelligence, and every intelligence report may affect the life and death of hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers!
After going to the martyrs' cemetery, Wang Yajiao's mood is even heavier! He didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear that his misjudgment would cause those heroic soldiers to sacrifice their lives!
"On the Shanghai side, according to our internal reports, the Japanese army has gathered more than 10,000 troops in the concession! It seems that there are follow-up troops in preparation! The same is true for Tianjin, where they originally began to clash with Song Zheyuan. But I don't know why I suddenly stopped......"
After Wang Yajiao came to the three eastern provinces, he organized his own intelligence analysis team to gather intelligence from various places for specific analysis. In the end, several more probable conclusions were drawn and handed over to the General Staff for reference.
At the same time, he was tasked with coordinating the Wehrmacht's lurking troops. Especially in Nanjing, the war in Guangzhou made Wang Yajiao feel that the decision made by the commander-in-chief was really wise!
Jiang Zhongzheng may not be able to defend Nanjing, if he loses those residents of Nanjing, what should he do?!
"Our small force has already gone to the Heyu Han Headquarters, and it is expected that the two sides will be able to contact each other by the end of the month. When the time comes, we will try our best to provide Yu Hanmou with materials and training assistance according to the plan......"
Wang Yajiao continued to report that this was the established strategy of the Wehrmacht. If those weapons are hastily handed over to the troops of all sides, I don't know what the result will be.
If these weapons were captured and copied by the Japanese army, it would cause even greater losses! Therefore, the strategy set by the Defence Force is to link small units with various localities and to supplement them with training.
After confirming that they have combat effectiveness, they will gradually distribute their advanced weapons. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
