Chapter 289 Global Shock 2 (Please collect red flowers!)
Because it was a clear message, all radio stations operating around the world received power from the Wehrmacht at almost the same time.
Xuzhou, northern Jiangsu Province, Xuzhou Battle Command Headquarters. Senior generals of the national army were walking towards a conference room one after another because the theater commander Li Zongren was going to hold a combat meeting.
Since the fall of Teng County, the Battle of Xuzhou has entered the "Battle of Taierzhuang" stage. The Battle of Taierzhuang in parallel time and space is very different from that in history. In history, the Japanese army actually only had two divisions attacking Taierzhuang, while the Chinese army had
More than 100,000 people; but in the Battle of Taierzhuang in parallel time and space, the Japanese army gathered a total of 5 divisions, and the National Army also gathered nearly 300,000 elite troops here.
Comparing the strength of the two armies, the National Army is much stronger than in history. In addition, the overall situation of China's Anti-Japanese War has not deteriorated as it did in history. Because the Battle of Xuzhou in history was carried out after the fall of Nanjing, and Nanjing in this time and space
It is still in the hands of the Nationalist Government. Because of this, although the Japanese army has become stronger, there are more factors that are beneficial to the national army. In this way, in the tug-of-war between the two sides outside Taierzhuang, the Japanese army did not take much advantage.
"Good news, good news! Wu Aihua's National Defense Force wiped out 100,000 enemies in Hangzhou Bay, captured 4 lieutenant generals, and captured the main warships of the Japanese Navy's Chinese fleet!" A communications staff officer waved his hand, regardless of the gathering of generals in front of him.
The telegram in his hand was running and shouting. He looked like a newsboy.
"Why are you arguing? What...the National Defense Force wiped out 100,000 enemies?" A national army lieutenant general wanted to reprimand the communications staff for not knowing the rules, but as soon as the words came out, he was stunned by the news from the staff.
"The National Defense Forces wiped out 100,000 enemies, captured 4 Japanese lieutenant generals, and captured a fleet!" the communications staff officer said loudly again.
"No way? Wu Aihua has only fought outside Shanghai for a few days. Although he has achieved obvious results, Hangzhou Bay... By the way, you are talking about Hangzhou Bay? Where did the Japanese army come from?"
"It was the Japanese 9th Division, the 104th Division, the 118th Division, the three divisions and the Chinese fleet of the Japanese Navy. In addition to more than a thousand people who died in battle, the remaining 100,000 people all became prisoners of the National Defense Forces!
"The communications staff officer explained for the third time.
"Japanese South China Front Army?" The generals were horrified when they heard this! Because these generals also knew that the National Defense Forces dispatched three army groups with nearly 500,000 people to move to northeast Zhejiang to deal with the Japanese East China Front Army. The collision between these two armies, the National Army
The generals generally believe that the two sides are evenly matched, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to win, while the victory for the National Defense Force will most likely be a tragic victory. However, this is based on the premise that the South China Front Army does not send troops. Once the South China Front Army sends troops, whether it is attacking Fujian
If Guangdong still sends troops to Shanghai, the National Defense Forces will be defeated.
The battle reports from Shanghai in the past few days deeply impressed these national army generals who usually have their eyes high, because the Japanese 3rd Division was a tough guy, but it was maimed by the National Defense Forces and fled back to Songjiang from the Yangmiao area.
.As for the victory over the Japanese 107th Division and 117th Division, although they also think it is very good, they cannot say that they admire it.
However, this battle report was a big surprise, because what he annihilated was not the East China Japanese Army, but the South China Japanese Army that had not yet entered the battlefield in China. It seemed that the South China Japanese Army was actually "captured" collectively, which made them even more...
Surprised.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Li Zongren came over wearing a military coat, "Just now, the theater headquarters received a telegram from the Military Commission, asking us to gather all the strength of the army and strike hard at the Japanese army in front of us. We cannot
Let the National Defense Force be the most beautiful in the world!"
"Chief Li, so the results of the National Defense Forces' battle are real?" a general asked.
"It should be said that it is almost the same. Colleagues, I think this is a good opportunity. The Japanese army in South China and the Japanese army in East China have been severely damaged. It must be a huge blow to the deployment and morale of the Japanese army in North China. We should follow Chairman Chiang's order.
Launch an attack on the Japanese army as soon as possible!"
"Okay, okay, okay, you damn son, you're going to be in trouble when you meet the National Defense Forces!" Deng Xihou of the 22nd Army was very angry with the Japanese. In the Battle of Tengxian, his army suffered heavy losses.
Taking advantage of the victory of the National Defense Forces, various people in the Xuzhou Battle began to discuss how to attack the Japanese army!
Other forces in China saw something other than military from the announcement of the National Defense Force. For example, Yan Xishan, Long Yun, and Ma Jiajun vaguely felt that after this battle, the National Defense Force was very likely to attack the central government in Nanjing.
.So, which side should they stand on then?
It’s really hard to choose which side to stand on! Historically, all kinds of soldiers and horses turned against Chiang Kai-shek, but in the end they were all pulled down by Chiang Kai-shek. Thinking of these things makes people sad.
As for whether the National Defense Forces can achieve the final victory against Japan, these old foxes have no doubts. However, Yan Xishan, Long Yun and others have a better relationship with Chen Jitang. Judging from Chen Jitang's final outcome, they concluded that Wu Aihua is also a
A person who values love and justice.
Even though Chen Jitang seems to have faded away from the center of power, in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, he is the de facto second person, much more powerful than the ministers of the Nanjing government.
Thinking of this, several people were slightly moved. Should they send personnel to Fujian and Guangdong to have contact with the National Defense Forces?
If old Chiang Kai-shek saw the National Defense Forces in the past, he was just a little depressed or helpless. But this time the battle report of the National Defense Forces made him feel that the sky has changed. It is not said that the Nanjing government will collapse, but it must at least be reorganized, according to Wu Aihua's wishes
To rectify the situation, otherwise, it will inevitably be a civil war, and this civil war, Chiang Kai-shek will never dare to fight! History has already taught us lessons. In the war two years ago, Chiang Kai-shek dispatched thirty to forty divisions, of which nearly
The 20 German weapons reorganization divisions were scattered and disabled by the National Defense Forces in a few days.
"Hey, what's going on?" Lao Jiang suddenly discovered a problem. This is the battle of the National Defense Force. How come a battle ends in a few days or even a day or two? Why is it not like the Central Plains War, where the battle is fought as soon as possible?
How many months?
Thinking of this, Chiang Kai-shek broke out in a cold sweat! If he didn't figure out this issue, he would never be able to sleep again! Because, judging from the speed at which the National Defense Forces fight and win, the current national army, and even the Japanese, cannot
It is far from being a match for the National Defense Force! This is also the reason why the elite divisions of the Japanese army can only last a day or two in the hands of Wu Aihua!
Why had I ignored such an important issue before? If I had done research earlier and thought of countermeasures earlier, maybe the strength of the national army would have been greatly improved.
However, it seemed that it was too late. Chiang Kai-shek finally gave up the idea of finding someone to study it.
…
If the domestic factions are filled with thoughts and sorrows about the results of the National Defense Forces' victory, then the Japanese army generals and the Japanese army base camp are on the verge of tears.
After receiving the clear message from the National Defense Forces, the Japanese base camp instinctively did not believe it and sent a telegram to Abe Nobuyuki and Matsui Iwane for verification. Abe Nobuyuki replied in a telegram saying, "The Chinese fleet and the 9th, 104th, and 118th Divisions have indeed
He disappeared from near Hangzhou Bay, but there is currently no conclusive evidence as to whether he was captured by the Chinese Army as claimed by them."
The reply from General Matsui Iwane was very positive, "The base camp, what the China Army telegram said is true, and it can prove that the 'devil' in China took action against the South China Front this time." In addition, Ken Doihara, who was under Matsui Iwane,
Second, Yanagawa Heisuke, Hisao Tani and others sent messages to the base camp to prove that the battle report stated by the China Army was true, and hoped that the base camp would make a decision soon.
In Japan, there is only one person who does not know the situation, that is Emperor Hirohito. Originally, the emperor's military attache was also a lieutenant general. He had already obtained the clear message. However, he was shocked when he read the message. Although he
I am absolutely loyal to the Emperor, but that doesn’t mean I have to scold him whenever something goes wrong. If he alone delivers the message to the Emperor, then he may become the most unjust person in Japan and take the blame for all Japanese soldiers.
"What should we do? Tell us, what should we do?" Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Konoe looked at the room full of mournful people. In fact, just for the battle report, Konoe dared to hand it over directly to Hirohito, and he was scolded when he was scolded. However,
The National Defense Forces also have a proclamation urging surrender. Who has the courage to hand this to Emperor Hirohito? What if the Emperor draws out his saber and strikes out, will he resist or not?
Ishihara Kanji, Sugiyama Gen, Umezu Mijiro, Shibayama Kenshiro and other military figures sat on one side, Kaya Konobu, Baba Eiichi, Hirota Koki and others sat on the other side; however, if you look at me from both sides, I
Looking at you, everyone's face is filled with tears, but they don't say a word.
"This time, someone has to take responsibility!" As the first director of the General Staff Headquarters, Kanji Ishihara is worthy of being a military expert. He immediately thought of a trick. If everyone suffers collectively, it is better for one person to take the blame. In this way,
Others still have the opportunity to help and say a few words. If everyone falls into it, who will save us?
"Ishihara-kun has a good idea, but who will be responsible?" Konoe Fumi said expressionlessly. Because he was already ready to resign as the cabinet chief. But this is only the cabinet, and someone from the military must be in charge, and
There must be two people, one for the army and one for the navy.
"Yonei-kun, what do you think?" Konoe Fumima fixed his sights on the Prime Minister of the Sea, Mitsumasa Mineuchi.
"This time the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated in China. If we want to talk about responsibility, the forward commander must have the greatest responsibility; if we want to talk about the responsibility of the base camp, each of us has a responsibility. The only question is who bears the main responsibility...
..." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi suddenly looked at Moto Sugiyama and stopped talking.
It’s hard to understand what Mitsumasa Yonai means. We must first determine the generals who should be responsible for the front. And the generals responsible for the front should obviously be borne by the Army, because the Army is the protagonist of this battle, and the Army is more familiar with China’s intelligence. As for the generals who are responsible for the front, the Army is the protagonist.
The Chinese fleet of the Navy was in the process of transporting the army, and they were not defeated because of a naval battle.
Sugiyama Moto is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He glanced at Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, but he couldn't find a good way. As the Prime Minister, he has responsibilities from any angle, and it seems that the atmosphere at the scene has a negative impact on him.
It's also quite unfavorable. No, I have to find a way, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the Prime Minister for a long time.
