Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 385 Aftersound
"Niang Xipi"
Chiang Kai-shek's face turned green when he heard the Japanese ridicule of him on the radio at the base camp of the Supreme Command of the Fuguishan Tunnel in Nanjing, and he cursed and walked around the closed room.
Chiang Kai-shek was, after all, the leader of the country, even if he only nominally unified China, but he was indeed the only person who could represent China at this time. The Japanese army's unscrupulous exposure of Chiang Kai-shek's scars and the complete discredit and humiliation of Chiang Kai-shek are undoubtedly insulting to all the sons and daughters of China.
Chiang Kai-shek was eager to scold him heartily, but he was afraid of the image of the leader, so he could only express his anger with silence.
Seeing that the leader was humiliated, the bigwigs in the headquarters couldn't help it, and for a while, all kinds of greetings insulting the Japanese emperor and his eighteenth generation ancestors blurted out, and the headquarters was full of smoke and miasma......
Qian Dajun's face turned red, his voice was hoarse, and he used all kinds of unbearable words to pay tribute to the Japanese announcer who spoke blunt official words, and finally flattered Chiang Kai-shek:
"The Japanese are so hateful. I suggest that the Japanese army must be taught a painful lesson on the battlefield and let them know that the majesty of the leader of the Dao should not be humiliated."
But Qian Dajun just talked about it.
If he could really teach the Japanese army a lesson and make it pay a heavy price, it would be needless to say that Chiang Kai-shek would immediately send troops to teach the devils a lesson, but the reality was that the Japanese army took the initiative on the battlefield and beat the Nationalist army on all fronts.
Chiang Kai-shek sighed heavily, shook his head and smiled bitterly, stroked his hand slightly, and motioned for Qian Dajun to sit down.
The Japanese were so crazy that Chiang Kai-shek could not help but react, after all, his face represented the image of the Nationalist Government. Looking around at the generals, Chiang Kai-shek asked, "What do you think?" ”
I can't beat it, and it seems that I can only fight back with scolding.
Listening to the various suggestions from the bigwigs in the army, it sounds like it is very lively, but in fact it is useless, which makes Chiang Kai-shek very helpless.
Major General Zhang Bingjun, chief of the General Staff Headquarters, stood up and said to Chiang Kai-shek:
"Chairman of the National Committee, according to my investigation, this Japanese military channel was searched and rebroadcast by Phoenix Radio, and there were not many people who originally knew the content of the Dao, but now it is making an uproar, all because of its vigorous publicity. Phoenix Radio Station was built by the new Second Division, and its commander Wu Ming did not care about the face of the leader so much, I suggest that he be severely punished."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were extremely strange, and their eyes suddenly focused on this young major general of the national army. This person is Qian Dajun's descendant, and everyone speculates that Qian Dajun and his subordinates must have a funny head, although Wu Ming established Phoenix Radio, but the specific person in charge is Jiang Jingguo.
Moreover, the Japanese who speak ill of the Japanese do not pursue it, but punish the forwarder, which is the reason?
"Chairman, since the incident has happened, it is better for us to launch a huge propaganda war and fight back. Now that the influence of the Phoenix Radio Station is growing day by day, we ask the Phoenix Radio Station and the Nanjing Central News Agency to jointly publicize the anti-Japanese stand of our Nationalist Government and point out the conspiracy to wantonly slander the Chairman of the National Committee against the Japanese. ”
"As the saying goes, those who are clean will clear themselves, and those who are turbid will be turbid, and after our propaganda and refutation, we will be able to set things right, and get to the root of the matter, and naturally no one will believe the arrogant words on the Japanese army's broadcast."
When Lin Wei said this, he groaned for a while, and then continued: "The insults from the Japanese are a weak manifestation of their poor donkey skills, and I believe that after this turmoil, the image of the chairman of the National Committee of the People's Republic of China who is determined to resist Japan will be even greater and fuller in the minds of all the people."
"Well, what Wei Zhi said won my heart"
Listening to Lin Wei's words, a smile finally appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face, and he nodded thoughtfully: "I think it will be unified by the Central News Agency and the Phoenix Radio Station to carry out joint operations, the Central News Agency is organized by Yan Ji (Chen Buizi), and the Phoenix Radio Station is -"
Seeing Chiang Kai-shek pause, Lin Wei said with understanding: "It's better to let Jianfeng take on the heavy responsibility, and even ⊥ Jianfeng is in charge."
Chiang Kai-shek was stunned.
Lin Wei suggested that Chiang Ching-kuo take on important responsibilities, which not only increased Chiang Ching-kuo's qualifications, but also built a springboard for him to jump from the army to the government. However, Chiang Kai-shek showed a businesslike posture and said hypocritically: "It has been less than a year since Jianfeng returned from the Soviet Union, and it is probably inappropriate for such an important matter to be handed over to him, right?"
Clear-eyed people all saw Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, and they all started to persuade Chiang Kai-shek, as if it was difficult for anyone else to shoulder the burden except Chiang Ching.
A meeting turned Chiang Kai-shek's worries into joy, and even his steps when he walked out of the underground headquarters were much lighter.
Chen Bui and Chiang Ching-kuo, who received the order, immediately abandoned other work at hand and launched a series of public opinion propaganda offensives against the Japanese invasion, refuting the brazenness and hypocrisy of the Japanese government and army, and detailing the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese army against the Chinese people since the Sino-Japanese War.
After the vigorous propaganda of the Nationalist Government, almost all the citizens of Nanjing knew the news that the Japanese army was about to launch a massacre in Nanjing, and the people in Nanjing and the surrounding areas were panicked, but because the front-line soldiers were still persistent, there was no large-scale wave of refugees, which made Wu Ming, who was looking forward to it, a little unexpected.
Shanghai Nanxiang, Headquarters of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army.
Matsui Ishine was also listening to the Japanese channel that suddenly appeared in front of the radio, listening to the crazy declaration of the massacre on the radio, Matsui Ishine glanced at the chief of staff Iinuma Mamoru with some displeasure, frowned, and asked angrily: "Which unit is this radio station from?" ”
Mamoru Iinuma's face was a little tangled, but after pondering for a moment, he shook his head decisively: "Commander, I don't think this is something that ordinary divisions or brigades can do, I doubt ......"
Seeing that Mamoru Iinuma was about to speak and stopped, Matsui Ishine was thoughtful, and then said angrily: "Could it be that those idiots from the intelligence department did it?" The aim is to intimidate the central government of China into surrendering? It's really damn it, you can't say that you can do such a thing as slaughtering the city, how can you publicize it widely, lest the world be chaotic? ”
Matsui Ishone's suspicions were justified, and the Japanese military intelligence department acted on its own, and they were all actively promoting the September 18, January 28, and July 7 incidents behind the scenes.
Unlike Matsui Ishone's chagrin, Okamura Ninji, who had already rushed to the Nanxun front, fell into deep thought after listening to the radio.
As the core think tank of Japan's Showa warlords, Okamura Ninji was more concerned about the political impact of this arrogant clamor, and as soon as this nonsense of slaughtering the city came out, it would be difficult to do the work of recruiting important members of the national army and the Nationalist Government in the future, and it would be very unfavorable to Japan's occupation and annexation of China.
The Japanese male voice on the radio was still screaming frantically, and the chief of staff of the Second Division, General Ichisa Tamurahara, was on the radio, and the headquarters at the Shijiu Bridge on the shore of Lake Kitama fell silent.
The commander of the 18th Division, Sadao Nakajima, was a little nervous, and asked astringently, "General Okamura, this broadcast seems to be a bit ...... What do we do next? ”
The commander of the 7th Division, Kazuichiro Sonobe, who had just arrived to report for duty, said nonchalantly: "What is this, I think we should teach the people of China a painful lesson丨Let them know that the Imperial Japanese Army is inviolable, let the Chinese people tremble in front of the imperial planes, artillery and tanks, and let Chairman Chiang, who could not even graduate from the Lushi Preparatory School, kowtow to our Imperial Japanese Army and apologize......"
Speaking of this, Sonobe Kazuichiro looked at Okamura Ninji, clenched his fists hard, and said loudly: "Okamura-kun, I suggest that you attack on all fronts now, wipe out all the Shina troops on the Nanxun line, and use dripping blood to tell their leaders that it will not end well to go against our imperial army." ”
Hearing Sonobe and Ichiro firing empty cannons with their mouths, Okamura Ninji was a little helpless.
However, although Kazuichiro Sonobe was reckless and a standard rough man, he was deeply loved by middle and low-level officers in the Japanese army, and had a good relationship with his classmates Itagaki Seishiro and Kenji Dohihara. In addition, Kazuichiro Sonobe is currently the first fierce general under Okamura Ninji, which makes him have to appease him.
"Commander Matsui is naturally worried about the broadcast, and Sonobe-kun is right, now is the right time to attack
Okamura Ninji blinked his small eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed on his face: "Previously, it was only a symbolic attack by a wing transferred by the Sixth Division, and the opposing Shina army was in chaos, and we almost broke through the defensive line. As long as we give it our all, their defenses will crumble."
Okamura Ninji's gaze fell on Sadao Nakajima and asked, "Nakajima-kun, is the 18th Division ready?" ”
As the 2nd Division advanced eastward, the 18th Division sent a wing north to capture Miaogang Town, where it confronted the Chinese army along the line between Qidu and Badu and Qingyun.
"Hail"
Nakajima Sadashi nodded and replied: "Everything is ready, just wait for the general's order"
"Yo Nishinakajima-kun, before the attack, you inform the river fleet cruising on Taihu Lake and let them cover the Nanxunchina position with artillery fire for a quarter of an hour. While the smoke had not yet dissipated, the 18th Division attacked with all its might and smashed the position of the Chinese army in one fell swoop."
Okamura Ninji solemnly issued an order: "An hour after the end of the shelling, I would like to see the flag of the 18th Division fluttering on the positions of the Shina Army"
"Hay—"
Sadao Nakajima nodded again.
Okamura Ninji turned his gaze to Kazuichiro Sonobe, who was eager to try: "Sonobe-kun, I hope you will lead the Seventh Division to closely follow the fleeing Shina army and capture Nanxun County."
After the 7th Division was stationed in Wuzhen, it did not penetrate Wuxing as Wu Ming feared, cutting off the return route of the Right Wing Army, but went north to join the 18th Division, which really made Wu Ming unable to see through Okamura Ningji's plan.
"Okamura-kun, our 7th Division should crush the enemy head-on"
The militant Kazuichiro Sonobe was a little displeased, and said with a tiger face: "Our 7th Division is one of the strongest divisions in the Japanese Empire, with a glorious tradition, and even more powerful in the whole army, so it is reasonable for our 7th Division to defeat the defense of the Shina Army head-on. I think the 18th Division is still responsible for pursuing the Chinese army that only knows how to escape. ”
Listening to Sonobe Kazuichiro's insulting words, Nakajima Sadao was ashamed and annoyed, but in terms of qualifications and division combat strength, he really didn't have the capital to argue with such a fierce man as Sonobe.
"No"
Okamura Ninji categorically rejected the request of Sonobe and Ichiro, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in a dark way:
"Yuanbe-kun, your seventh division is responsible for tailgating and pursuing, you will definitely have unexpected surprises Don't forget, the temporary third division, which was adapted from the first division of the new second division, has now retreated to the front line of Wuxing, I think they are a group of people who are not willing to be lonely, and you will be able to show your might when the time comes"
