Base System of Bashu Heroes

Chapter Eleven Defense of Nanjing I

Yang Sen almost shed tears of gratitude for the Chairman's promise, while Liu Tianchu watched with cold eyes.

The Chairman was obviously trying to win over Yang Sen and engage in a common tactic of internally dividing the Sichuan Army. Liu Tianchu learned from the information that before the Sichuan Army left Sichuan, the Chairman agreed to Liu Xiang on two conditions. One: The Sichuan Army must assemble in one place before attacking, and two:

Pay military pay for the Sichuan Army officers, replenish weapons and ammunition, and issue military uniforms. However, the Chairman of the Generalissimo failed to fulfill the two conditions. As soon as Deng Xihou's troops of the 22nd Army came out of Sichuan, they were transferred to the Shanxi battlefield, and Liu Xiang's 22nd Army

, was assigned to the front line of Guangde. At this time, Liu Xiang had a recurrence of his stomach disease and was recuperating in Hankou. Tang Shizun, commander of the 21st Army, took a peek at the post of commander-in-chief of the 22nd Army and kept moving closer to the government. After the fall of Nanjing, the Seventh War Zone

The territory under his jurisdiction was occupied by the enemy, and the armies also moved into Anhui and Jiangxi. This war zone actually no longer existed. The troops under his jurisdiction were classified into the first war zone and were led by Cheng Qian. At this time, Liu Xiang had no soldiers around him.

Death.

The Chairman of the Generalissimo kept silent about the current situation in Nanjing because he had other plans. There have been rumors among the military that the Nationalist Government would move the capital to Wuhan. In fact, both the Chairman and Liu Tianchu knew that if Nanjing was not protected, Wuhan would definitely be the next key target of the Japanese army. Moving the capital to Wuhan was just a cover-up.

, the real intention is to move the capital to Chongqing, an inland city. Will Liu Xiang, as the king of Sichuan, agree? This is the real purpose of the Chairman of the Standing Committee in summoning Zhang Sen.

Liu Tianchu's cold eyes could not escape Minister He's gaze, and Liu Tianchu also looked down upon Minister He's arrogance that he was so mediocre that he could not be compared to a soldier.

As Liu Tianchu and the Minister of Military and Political Affairs looked at each other, Yang Sen remained silent and looked a little weak in front of Liu Tianchu. He understood that only he could break the current embarrassment among the people present: "In the battle of Chen Jiaxing, fortunately, Commander Liu turned the tide and defeated the two Japanese brigades.

The strength of the army..." he said hesitantly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tianchu didn't give him any face at all. His words were like a machete, and he immediately cut off his words. "It's a matter of fate and a matter of duty."

"Good!" The chairman clapped his hands and praised. "Good! That's good! It's a matter of destiny and a matter of duty. We, the Chinese soldiers, should use this as an example. Why worry about the Japanese pirates not being exterminated."

Yang Sen was nervous and sweating, but when he saw that the Chairman was not angry, but praised him profusely, he salivated: "...it's all because of the good command of the commission. The commander of the theater kept true to his words and fired the artillery in time. The Chen family line did not distinguish between soldiers and civilians.

Every life is given by the Chairman."

Liu Tianchu originally had a good impression of Yang Sen, but he did not expect that he would be so groveling in front of the chairman of the committee, and his favorable impression of him plummeted. "The lives of the common people are their own. Our lives are earned by the soldiers' hard work. Flattery is not ours."

Internal affairs are the things I hate the most." Liu Tianchu said loudly.

The muscles on Yang Sen's face twitched obviously, and Minister He hurriedly explained, "Respect for the superior is the basic abide by the military. Brother Yang's respect for the commission is an internal matter."

Liu Tianchu was happy. He heard the implication of Minister He: "Okay! Out of respect for the commander, I want to know some internal affairs. The Battle of Songhu was such a big battle. Commanders at all levels were rigid in their command and did not coordinate with each other.

The arms fought independently, the artillery could not provide cover for the infantry, and the infantry did not coordinate with the tanks. The Japanese Jinshan Guards landed, and more than 700,000 troops were in danger of being surrounded in the Battle of Fuhu. The government actually repeated such a major retreat order twice.

This caused an uproar in the troops. Some soldiers who had packed up and were about to leave had to rush back to their positions. The order of the troops was extremely chaotic. It made people panic." And you, Liu Tianchu pointed at He Yingqin. "As the highest officer of the Military and Political Department, the troops retreated.

Without specifying the order of retreat, the retreat turned into a rout, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers spilling blood on the battlefield. How can you face the families of the sacrificed soldiers? What is your job? "….

After Liu Tianchu made an impassioned speech, he finally had the opportunity to condemn them face to face. He vented out all the comments that future generations had on them without being unhappy.

At this time, Yang Sen kept wiping his forehead, and Minister He and the committee members also had bruises on their faces.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air became so dull that it was suffocating.

Such dullness needs a scheming person to break it, and a scheming person should be the chairman of the committee. He eased his mood and said to Liu Tianchu: "Everything the little brother said is true, but there are big historical reasons for the stiff command on the Songhu battlefield.

The Chinese warlords have been fighting for many years. Although the warlord ministries are currently under the leadership of the central government, each ministry has its own ulterior motives in order to preserve its strength. Disobedience and passive laziness often occur. Of course, command errors are also an objective fact. In the rush to resist the war, our army

It’s really not prepared enough.”

"If you don't correct it subjectively and find the reasons objectively, who will believe it!" Liu Tianchu muttered dissatisfiedly.

It is estimated that no one speaks like this in front of the committee members. Liu Tianchu's innocent and childish behavior actually made the committee members laugh. "What is your current position?" asked the committee chairman.

Yang Sen hurriedly stepped forward. "I am the major general and commander of the 133rd Division of the 20th Army."

The Chairman nodded. "You are a teachable boy with a bright future. You have analyzed the Battle of Songhu so thoroughly, so let me ask you, what do you think of the current war in Nanjing?" The Chairman stared at Liu Tianchu.

The chairman of the committee asked this, which made Liu Tianchu tremble. He knew that the opportunity had come. The Nanjing Massacre was commemorated every year. He was very aware of the tragic situation in Nanjing. He was a time traveler. If he didn't change history, what was the point of time travel? Thinking of this, he

He said confidently: "Shanghai has fallen, all the gates have been lost, and Nanjing has become inevitable. There are rumors in the army that the government will move the capital to Wuhan, but if Nanjing is not protected, Wuhan will become the next key target of the Japanese army. The Japanese army will move up the Yangtze River, land and water."

If we move forward at the same time, how long can Wuhan hold on? I assert that the committee wants to move the capital to inland Chongqing, but the committee is worried that Liu Xiang will not agree."

Several people in the room looked at each other, and He Yingqin said: "You are off topic. The committee member asked about their views on the war in Nanjing."

Liu Tianchu’s two words: “Defeat!”

"Nonsense, our soldiers are highly motivated to defend the capital. Nanjing Garrison Commander Tang Shengzhi has expressed his determination and vowed to live and die together in Nanjing."

Liu Tianchu laughed loudly. "My lovely Minister He, do you believe what you say? I don't believe it anyway."

It was Tang Shengzhi, the garrison commander who vowed to live and die together in Nanjing. He fled in panic at the beginning of the battle. 300,000 soldiers and civilians were brutally killed. He was cast aside by future generations for decades. Liu Tianchu certainly did not believe that he could live or die in Nanjing.

He Yingqin's face turned from green to purple, and from purple to white. "I am not good at fighting unprepared battles. The defeat of Songhu was not the fault of one person. You have successively damaged the morale of our army and made nonsense. Thank you for your harsh words of advice. I am going to tie you up."

"

Minister He usually showed no emotion or anger, but today he seemed to be angry. However, the gap between the two sentences "Thank you" and "I'm tied up" was really big. The commissioned guard didn't care about this and wiped Liu Tianchu's shoulders before going to bed.

rope.

"Slow down!" The chairman waved his hand to stop the guards, and then signaled to Yang Sen and He Yingqin. "You go out first, and I will talk to my subordinates alone."

After the two people went out, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Why do you say Nanjing must be defeated?"

Liu Tianchu almost lazily explained that Chiang Kai-shek knew what he was asking. He walked to the map and pointed at the Jiangyin defense line. "Commissioner, you know very well that our main navy's First Fleet and Second Fleet on the Jiangyin defense line are simply unable to compete with the Japanese navy and defend Nanjing.

If the water barrier is lost, the Japanese army can march straight in, which will not only endanger Nanjing, but Wuhan will also lose the barrier. If the Japanese army advances steadily, not only will the situation in North China be in danger, but the war will soon burn to the south. Changsha and Wuhan will be battlefields in the future. Now that the commission has been decided

Moving the capital to Chongqing and defending Nanjing is just a matter of concern for the national government's face, so why should the Nanjing army and people be trapped in water and fire?"

The chairman shook his head repeatedly. "Nanjing must be defended. The will of the soldiers must not be violated. This is not only a matter of face, but also allows the international community to see China's determination to resist the war. If we can defend it for one more day, the nation will be strengthened."

"Guangcai. If we can hold on for more than half a month, the internal and external situation will change drastically, and our reinforcements will be able to respond as scheduled without being encircled by the enemy!"

After all, life is still a child's play. Are you determined to end the lives of 300,000 people in Nanjing? The "foreign" that Chiang said "the internal and external situation will change drastically" probably includes the Soviet Union's plan to send troops. Chiang Kai-shek relied on foreign aid for his life.

Just like the Battle of Songhu, the first thing I thought of was to preserve my own tactics, and then use a suicidal and subjugating formation to cater to the Japanese bombing. In order to wait for the foreign adults of the League of Nations to fight against Japan.

Condemned. Liu Tianchu gritted his teeth and pretended to smile. "Commission! The soldiers are making you happy! Showing your ambition is nothing more than proving that you are still a soldier. It will add some weight to your military career. If the Japanese army comes, I assert,

They run faster than anyone else."

Liu Tianchu's tone made the chairman amused again. He asked: "You are also a guard in Nanjing. Will you run away?"
