In just five days, the loss of Guiyang, as the southern gateway of Chongqing, has caused a huge shock to the Chongqing government, and the internal government has been accused of the central army's expression, and Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Guiyang city defense of the Central Army, has been under tremendous pressure, losing the city, losing the land, and losing the division, and these charges are complete.

Think about it, in the space of more than 20 days, the Japanese army on the periphery of Guiyang was only more than 70,000 people, and the defenders of Guiyang had more than 400,000 people.

After learning the news of the loss of Guiyang, Tang Qiuli was also very surprised, in his judgment, even if all the troops of the temple were used, Gu Zhutong should be able to survive at least ten days or more in Guiyang, and he would be lost in five days, which is indeed faster.

Originally, Tang Qiuli thought that even if Gu Zhutong was not good, without that vision, Chairman Jiang and his senior staff should see a huge opportunity from the battlefield of the western front of Duyun, and the main force of the Japanese army in the south was more than 300,000 people, all of whom were desperately trying to open the passage to Duyun and rescue the 15th Army of the Japanese army.

If the defenders of Guiyang of the Central Army go all out to defeat or annihilate 70,000 Japanese troops, and then, the main force advances eastward, and in the back of the Japanese troops facing the troops of the Independent Division, they will stab them fiercely, and the eight brigades of the Independent Division will go forward and attack the troops of the Central Army in front and back, and in the mountains of southern Qiannan, they will be trapped and killed.

This was a rare opportunity, an excellent opportunity to take out the main force of the Japanese army's southern dispatch army, but unfortunately, whether it was Chairman Chiang and his think tank, or Gu Zhutong, who was sticking to Guiyang. I didn't think of it or didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity, as for what kind of psychology it was. Tang Qiuli also guessed a rough idea.

Gu Zhutong has no strategic vision. I can't see this move, and even if I see it, I don't dare to take it, Chairman Jiang is doing something wrong with his inherent thinking. He was afraid that Tang Qiuli would use his descendant troops to fight to the death with the Japanese, while the troops of the independent division, according to the dangerous terrain, could attack and retreat and defend, which was first of all conducive to an invincible position.

If the defenders of Guiyang fall out of the city, they will be in the plain area of southeastern Guizhou. The Japanese army, which was engaged in the battle with the Japanese army and was attacked from both sides, would definitely turn around and attack the Central Army troops with all their might. That is the situation of not dying, no one can withdraw, so that Tang Qiu can leave to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Moreover, if the Japanese army broke through the western defense line of the independent division of Duyun and approached Duyun, the more than 100,000 troops of Tang Qiuli on the Duyun battlefield would fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army on both sides, and this was the result that Chairman Chiang very much hoped to see. So, in the space of more than twenty days. He strictly ordered Gu Zhutong to stay still. Guarding Guiyang is a great achievement.

Gu Zhutong, who was already timid and sticking to the rules, had no intention of flanking the Japanese army, and when he received this order, he even tightened up in Guiyang, and even took any action against the Japanese army, which had only more than 70,000 troops.

In this way, Tang Qiuli was defeated, borrowing the hands of the Japanese, weakening Tang Qiuli's strength, his own hands, not a little blood, if Tang Qiuli defeated or repelled the Japanese army, the siege of Guiyang was relieved, and his own descendant troops would not have any losses.

Now, Chairman Chiang has to pay the price for his short-sightedness, Guiyang has been lost, more than 400,000 central troops have lost more than 100,000 people, the Japanese army is following and pursuing, and the defense line that Gu Zhutong hastily arranged in Xifeng is being fiercely attacked by the Japanese army, and it looks like that, it can't support it for a few days.

At the residence of Chairman Huangshan, a military meeting was held to study the situation in Guizhou.

Especially those members of the Supervision Yuan, they spoke even more politely, their duty is to impeach the incompetent officials and military generals of the national government, for Gu Zhutong's consistent expression, he has long been dissatisfied, this Gu someone, without great ambitions, can be mediocre, guarding Shanghai, was forced out by Tang Qiuli, guarded Guiyang, regained defeat at the hands of the Japanese, lost the city and lost the land, retreated hundreds of miles, how can such a person bear the heavy responsibility of the defense side?

A white-haired supervisory committee member stood up and said impassionedly: "Princess, Gu someone is guarding Guiyang, commanding more than 400,000 troops, at that time, Guiyang has not yet been attacked by the Japanese army, and its main force of more than 300,000 people was attracted to the vicinity of Duyun by Vice Chairman Tang's troops, and there are only more than 70,000 Japanese troops on the periphery of Guiyang, but what did he Gu someone do?" Didn't do anything, wasted more than 20 days of precious opportunity, so that the main force of the Japanese invaders could calmly attack Guiyang again, guide the loss of Guiyang, and accompany the capital to be threatened by Yanzhòng, this qiē is caused by Gu Zhutong and his actions, therefore, the old man built yì, immediately removed Gu Zhutong from his post and investigated, in order to set an example and thank the people! ”

The old man's words aroused everyone's discussion, an old gentleman who danced and wrote ink, and still understood military issues like this, it was really rare, he saw the battle situation more thoroughly than Gu Zhutong, and there were people who knew the inside story, and whispered to the people around him: "The old man's own nephew, who was the head of the regiment under Gu Mosan, broke the city of Guiyang this time, and died on the way to retreat, the old gentleman is asking for justice, I am afraid that Gu Zhutong will lose his official position if he does not lose his head this time." ”

The military generals have a different idea, the battle situation in southern Qiannan is indeed as the old gentleman said, there is an extremely favorable situation, if you make good use of it, there will be no Guiyang fiasco, but they even have the mystery, without Chairman Jiang's words, Gu Mosan did not even dare to move a single soldier, this duke is absolutely obedient.

In other generals, even if they were desperately scolded by the old man, they also had to take advantage of this opportunity to at least annihilate or defeat the more than 70,000 Japanese troops, even Chen Cheng had this idea, but he also returned from the defeat of southern Qiannan, and the Western Route Army of the southern Qiannan defense line under his command did not fight well, and at this time, he was embarrassed to make a high statement.

It is also said that the three generals of the Central Army in the southern Qiannan defense line, Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, were locked up in Guangzhou by Tang Qiuli, and the descendants of the troops became people's dishes, Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, was also defeated again and again, retreating to Guiyang, and Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army, was defeated earlier than Chen Cheng and was the first to retreat into Guiyang in the three-way army.

Chairman Jiang, who was in the first place, was not happy to listen, his tone turned cold, and he said unhappily: "Mo San is not easy, there is still merit, under the siege of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, bring out more than 300,000 troops, so that the loss of ** is reduced to the lowest level, this is very rare, everyone, what is held today is not a military review meeting, not to investigate the responsibility of that person, but to study the problem of how to defend Chongqing, not to be forced by the Japanese to move the capital again." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, Gu Zhutong lost Guiyang, lost more than 100,000 troops, and there was merit, dare to be affectionate, in Chairman Jiang's mind, it doesn't matter if he loses the battle, the key is not to toss his family foundation, what kind of logic is this, everyone doesn't say it, but secretly slanders.

Chairman Jiang has protected Gu Zhutong to such a journey, even if he has a different opinion, he still touched this moldy head in person, and the logo of the Jiang family was engraved on the door of his head, they were all people in the same boat, and when he didn't reach the wall and everyone pushed him, and when he fell into the well, why bother to go to this troubled water, offend a large number of people, not to mention, and let the old man hold a grudge, the gains outweigh the losses.

With a few words, Chairman Jiang stopped the denunciation of his confidant Gu Zhutong and controlled the direction of the meeting, he was also very satisfied, the big ship of the Nationalist Government was still in his own hands, slowed down his tone, and asked: "Military generals, what do you think about defending Chongqing?" Let's talk about it. ”

After speaking, his eyes swept over several military heavyweight generals in turn, originally, Zhang Zhizhong was the most suitable person to succeed Gu Zhutong, and he fought very well in the Songhu battlefield, but he had a close relationship with Tang Qiuli, and Tang Qiuli's troops were active in the Qiannan generation, didn't it give the two of them a chance to get close again?

Wei Lihuang is also a general, has experience as the commander of the theater, and has a very good way of fighting, but this person is unruly and very disobedient, if he is entrusted with a heavy task and engages in war with the Japanese, when he hits the red eye, he will inevitably disobey the order and disrespect him, and I am afraid that he will toss away the family wealth that he has worked hard to accumulate.

Ci Xiu was originally a suitable candidate, he had a set of wars, and he was loyal to himself, but he also returned to Chongqing from the defeat in southern Qiannan, and he was entrusted with a heavy task again, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and other generals will also have opinions, and the people are not aligned, I am afraid it will be difficult to control.

Chairman Jiang's gaze swept over the faces of a group of senior generals, and for a while, it was difficult to choose the right candidate, and these senior generals, each like an old monk in a fixed state, did not squint, his face was calm, he was slightly embarrassed, but also a little annoyed, don't look at the calm appearance, I know exactly what the idea is in my heart.

Chairman Jiang coughed dryly, and then said: "This candidate for the commander of the army will succeed Mo San and become the commander-in-chief of the southwest defense line, not only the more than 300,000 troops in Xifeng and Zunyi are under his command, but all the ** and Sichuan army troops in Chongqing will be under his command, this person will be responsible for the heavy task of defending Chongqing, the capital of Chongqing, and I will put most of the army in his hands, which is my absolute trust in him." ”

The scene calmed down, and all the generals who led the troops knew the weight of the commander-in-chief of the southwest defense line, and the old man's family was in his hands, which could be described as a high authority, but this official was not easy to do, Gu Zhutong made the situation in southern Qiannan so rotten, whoever took over this mess would have to face the fierce attack of more than 300,000 Japanese troops.

A bad one, not to mention the loss of the teacher and humiliation of the country, the old man can spare the person who has lost his family's background? The generals weighed Chairman Chiang's words, and the venue became even quieter.
