Chapter 58: Retreat from Nanjing

"The Japanese army has transferred troops again, and that madman Seishiro Itagaki is clamoring to go to Nanjing to fight Liu Yuan." Lin Wei's expression was a little anxious.

Liu Yuan directly attacked a division of the Japanese army this time, and it seems that it really angered Matsui Shigen, Matsui Shigen's life was not easy, so he could only ask for support from the base camp, it seems that this time it is our turn to have a hard time.

"If the Japanese army moves a few divisions to Nanjing again, then life in the Fifth Theater will be better, but Nanjing is afraid that it will." Bai Chongxi is still very concerned about Li Zongren.

"Liu Yuan must be informed immediately, this is a dangerous matter, they don't have many soldiers there in Nanjing." Lin Wei reminded Chiang Kai-shek that although there had always been a conflict between the chamberlain and Liu Yuan, at a time when the country was in trouble, Lin Wei still admired Liu Yuan, a general who could fight well, and he didn't want Liu Yuan to have problems.

However, Bai Chongxi said calmly, "Our chief of staff is a catfish, and he is very slippery, and on our territory, Matsui Shigen can't catch him." Moreover, there are a lot of hidden people in Nanjing, and he wants to withdraw, which is very simple. Bai Chongxi said with a smile.

Bai Chongxi's words made Chiang Kai-shek's face change a lot calmer, yes, how could Matsui Shigen compare with his own students, his own students are people who can go down to the five seas to catch turtles. Matsui Shigen didn't say that he was aimed at him, maybe he would be played by Liu Yuan at any time.

"My Mr. Zhuge , your Gui department asked the Southwest Army to set an example for you, and Liu Yuan did it, but Commander Delin has not taken office for a long time, is it unreasonable." Chiang Kai-shek remembered about Li Zongren.

Li Zongren has always boasted that if he arrived in the Fifth War Zone, he would definitely educate the little devils ruthlessly, but he was reluctant to leave, and the war in the north was indeed not optimistic. Moreover, in addition to Wei Lihuang, there were only the troops of the Red Party Zhu De left in the North, but Chiang Kai-shek did not want the Red Party to become the main force of resistance against Japan.

"He already set off yesterday, and you know that we have a lot of things to do in Guangxi." Bai Chongxi replied to Chiang Kai-shek, seeing Chiang Kai-shek's puzzled expression, Bai Chongxi explained, the Gui Department is not self-sufficient and the central war has completely wiped out the confidence of the Gui Department, and now although the Gui Department is reorganized, but it is not as good as before, the Songhu War, the loss of our Gui Department is also very large, and now if you want to fight again, you must make arrangements with the local people and all parties, after all, it is not the previous Gui system.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, he understood Li Zongren's thoughts very well, Liu Yuan quietly made such a big cause in the southwest, how could others not be moved, but at the moment of resistance against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek could not blame anything, as long as he followed the banner of resistance against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek would not say anything.

Yang Yongtai's words became less and less, but he was on the point, "Nanjing was originally scheduled to be defended for twenty days, but now it has been more than a month, and General Liu Yuan has overfulfilled the task, is it not for him to retreat." ”

Although Liu Yuan was the director of the Nanjing camp, he still needed to listen to Chiang Kai-shek on whether to withdraw his troops.

After Yang Yongtai finished speaking, everyone subconsciously looked at Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek stood up and looked at the scenery outside the house, compared with Nanjing, Wuhan is really much worse.

At the beginning, no one wanted to hold Nanjing, including himself, who didn't have the courage to stick to Nanjing, but he insisted on doing it as a student, and even wanted to stay at one point.

Then everyone was not optimistic about Nanjing, but their own students once created a miracle, the Japanese detachment, the Japanese division, and now the whole country is boiling, the government receives a large number of donations every day, and the people's satisfaction with the government has become very high.

Chiang Kai-shek heard that now Yan Xishan has a lot of face in front of the Red Party every time, and the Red Party is not just a flat victory when it is bullish? We, the Kuomintang, were organized to exterminate the Japanese.

However, Chiang Kai-shek knew that as the head of a country, he could not speak without faith, so he looked at Bai Chongxi and asked, "Is it appropriate to retreat from Nanjing now?" ”

Bai Chongxi knew that Chiang Kai-shek's mistake had been made again, and he always wanted to interfere in the war on the front line, but he felt that his ability was very lacking, so he asked others, hoping that everyone would support his ideas.

Bai Chongxi wanted to say, "Silly fork, your idea doesn't work", but standing in front of him is the head of state, and he must not say this, "Chairman, although the strategic purpose of the defense of Nanjing has been achieved, but since Liu Yuan is preparing to annihilate the 114th Division of the Japanese army, then the bait of Nanjing is still needed, so we should not interfere with him, but let him make his own decisions." ”

Bai Chongxi's words reminded Chiang Kai-shek that the front line was still at war, and he absolutely could not interfere with him casually. Otherwise, there may be huge problems.

Chiang Kai-shek was still very confident in Liu Yuan, so he said, "Now that the country is in difficulty, there is no extra money to reward the soldiers, so get a batch of medals and give our soldiers, they are all warriors of the country, and they must be cared for, at least let them know that the country has not forgotten them." ”

After speaking, Chiang Kai-shek's smug Bai Chongxi, don't you Guijun love Edser? But do you have the fighting power? If it weren't for our Central Army and Southwest Army, which of you would dare to defend Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek remembered Liu Yuan's benefits at this time, whenever he was in the most difficult time, he was a student to help him, but Chiang Kai-shek never went first, and the more he used this thing, the less he used.

Liu Yuan was still paying attention to the war in Wuhu, Chiang Kai-shek's telegram arrived in Nanjing, so frightened that Zuo Quan almost fainted, damn Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to interfere with military orders, didn't he realize how bad his level was?

When the confidential staff officer translated the telegram, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Chiang Kai-shek was not completely brain-dead, and did not ask Liu Yuan to use the Nanjing fortress as the base point to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese. If that were the case, Zuo Quan even felt that Liu Yuan might mutiny.

"Fuguo, did you give the principal any benefits, why are you so easy to talk this time." Zuo Quan looked at Liu Yuan puzzled.

Xie Yingbai was more clear about these things, and said, "It's not that we gave any benefits, we fought so well in Nanjing, and we gave Principal Jiang a long face, didn't you hear that the principal said that he wanted to issue medals?" ”

"He's putting pressure on us in disguise and making us embarrassed to retreat now. However, we really cannot withdraw now, and we must insist on holding on. Zuo Quan thought for a while and said. He was the chief of staff, and his thinking was always clear.

"Yes, Nanjing is now a fortress, we can make every house into a bunker and fight street battles for the little devils, just like in Shanghai, we can occupy every commanding height of the city in advance." Although Xie Yingbai is older, he finds himself more and more energetic with this young team.

"Our Southwest Army has to believe in one word, that is, to convince the little devils and make them realize what a real soldier is." When Wang Yaowu thought of fighting, his mood became extremely excited.

Also, Nie Rongzhen commanded more than 100,000 troops on the southern front to surround the 114th Division, the battlefield has been divided completely, and there are constantly wings that have been annihilated, and now the 114th Division, only a part of the remnants of the army are defeated. Wang Yaowu was very depressed, because he didn't have the opportunity to fight on a large scale.

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Liu Yuan didn't speak, but looked out the window in a daze, and the thoughtful Zuo Quan was the first to discover Liu Yuan's situation.

"Fuguo, do you have any different opinions, you can say it." Zuo Quan had an ominous premonition. Liu Yuan's thoughts may be different from everyone's again.

"I still stick to my own point of view, I will not use the lives of my soldiers to fight in the streets of Nanjing." Liu Yuan insisted.

"I'm going to cut down that bastard Liang Sicheng now, what a historical city, what ancient capitals, what tigers and dragons are all fucking nonsense, what is more important than war. If it's broken, it's broken, and we can't cower. Wang Yaowu was excited and ready to go out.

"Bastard, are you just throwing a tantrum with your chief?" Liu Yuan hasn't spoken yet, Zuo Quan has already gone up to educate, Zuo Quan knows very well that when Liu Yuan gets angry, then Wang Yaowu will definitely be unlucky, Liu Yuan has been very dissatisfied with Wang Yaowu's performance recently.

"Our purpose of the war has been achieved, there is no need to damage what our ancestors have passed down to us, the prime minister's mausoleum is in Nanjing, I don't want a shell to suddenly fall on the premier's mausoleum, it is already a shame to not be able to defend the country, disturbing the rest of the ancestors, and it is a crime. I made an arbitrary decision, and Nanjing did not defend it. Liu Yuan closed the coffin in one sentence, and no one was entangled.

Zuo Quan also nodded and said, "It's our impulse, according to our current strength, fighting with the Japanese in the streets is likely to consume our last bit of vitality, and although Nanjing has been built into a war fortress by us, it is really not suitable for defense, and if we insist, our people may all be trapped here, so retreat is a good choice." ”

Zuo Quan actually still wants to continue fighting, but since Liu Yuan has made up his mind, he can only cooperate with him.

Liu Yuan continued, "Today I must make one thing clear to you, that is, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression must be based on long-term combat, which lies in the consumption of the vitality of the Japanese army, rather than caring about the gains and losses of a city and a place. ”

"If we want to withdraw, we have to hurry up, first of all, the Japanese army has already sent troops to Nie Rongzhen, we should accept it when we see it, and Nanjing is also an opportunity to leave, and the other is that the chairman has sent a message, Itagaki Seishiro is ready to play with us, this time forget it." He came from afar, and we were embarrassed to bully her, so we left early and finished early. Zuo Quan looked at the map and said.

Liu Yuan nodded, and didn't say much, the Purple Mountain is the commanding heights of Nanjing, as long as there is a war here, or we lose our position, we must withdraw from Nanjing, you should prepare in advance.

I took the test paper for a day today, and if it's empty, let's have one more chapter
