Predator Reborn

Chapter 514 Chiang Kai-shek’s Helplessness

"Yes, Chief... Our idea is that tomorrow morning, the troops will begin to retreat... But, Chief, after all, the total number of rescued New Fourth Army troops is more than 3,000. Coupled with the sacrifice of a large number of commanders and fighters in the army, the establishment of these troops will

It's very chaotic. If the enemy is attacked by the enemy on the march, the troops will not be able to form combat effectiveness. Therefore, I hope that the commander can reorganize more than 3,000 troops before the troops retreat tomorrow. All seriously injured people, all

Leave it to our special operations brigade to use trucks for camel transportation. In addition, in the next few days, because the troops will be marching urgently, we hope that all commanders and soldiers, except weapons, ammunition and food, can discard all unnecessary baggage materials..."

Liu Xiaogang said.

"Okay, no problem. In this military camp, I am not your leader. You are the supreme commander here. We all obey your command. I will reorganize the troops now. In one night at most, we can organize the entire army."

The troops have been reorganized and we can set off early tomorrow morning..." Regarding Liu Xiaogang's suggestion, General Ye Ting, who has rich experience in military command, answered affirmatively without any hesitation...

"Thank you for your support, chief. As long as the reorganization of the troops is completed, I guarantee that we will be able to return to Taiyuan City smoothly within a week..." Regarding General Ye Ting's trust in him, Liu Xiaogang replied excitedly...

Sure enough, in less than a few hours, more than 3,000 New Fourth Army commanders and fighters, under the command of Ye Ting, completed the reorganization task... After a night of rest, more than 4,000 New Fourth Army commanders and fighters, including the special operations brigade, were

The commanders and fighters embarked on the return journey together with dozens of large trucks carrying a large amount of loot and wounded soldiers...

Compared with the urgency when they arrived because of the urgent time, more than 3,000 New Fourth Army commanders and fighters, together with Commander-in-Chief Ye Ting, were successfully rescued. The mood of the soldiers can be said to be very comfortable and carefree.

's march.

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing was smashed into a mess by one person. It looked like the remnants of a comprehensive looting. And who has the courage to dare to attack Chiang Kai-shek's official residence in Chongqing?

What about going to war and looting his official residence? Unsurprisingly, there was only one person in the whole of China, and that was Chiang Kai-shek himself.

During this week, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy when he heard that Gu Zhutong, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone in southern Anhui, sent good news one after another. Especially when Chiang Kai-shek received the project from the political commissar of the New Fourth Army.

Ying, a senior leader of the Chinese Communist Party who had always been his biggest enemy, was killed. After the news that New Fourth Army Commander Ye Ting and the Chief of Staff were put under house arrest by Gu Zhutong because they came to negotiate. He, who had never drank, was also because of his mood.

I was so happy that I made an exception to accompany my wife and drank a full glass of red wine...

However, the good times did not last long. Just five days after the whole war started smoothly, when the 80,000-strong army had just wiped out less than half of the New Fourth Army troops, the Military Commission suddenly lost contact with Gu Zhutong in the fifth theater.

...This time, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely anxious. After all, there were 80,000 troops on the front line. More importantly, Gu Zhutong had always been his confidant and favorite general. If something really happened, then his

The loss is huge...

Immediately, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the telecommunications room under the Military Commission to turn on all the radio stations and use various signals to start calling the fifth theater headquarters and all brigade-level and above radio stations under the theater. However, what made Chiang Kai-shek despair was

, a day and a night passed, the entire fifth theater seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and still no news reached the Military Commission... And the entire official residence was caused by the anxious and angry Chiang Kai-shek himself...

"Adjutant Wang, hasn't there been any news from the Military Commission? Haven't you contacted the Fifth War Zone yet... Could it be that 80,000 troops just disappeared out of thin air. Niang Xipi, it's absolutely impossible that there are 80,000 soldiers in total.

, I want to see people when I am alive, and I want to see the body when I die... Notify Minister He Yingqin immediately and come to my office immediately. Hurry..." After walking back and forth several times in his office, Chiang Kai-shek raised his head and said to

Looking at the attendant standing at the door, he ordered with an anxious look.

"Yes, Chairman..." Looking at the messy office, the attendant heard the order and immediately ran away from this powder keg that could explode at any time without any hesitation...

In less than a few minutes, Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting behind his desk and waiting anxiously, heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. In the blink of an eye, the door of the office was pushed open, and Chief of Staff He Yingqin,

Appeared at the door of the office. After seeing the messy office in front of him, the wily He Yingqin recovered after only a brief shock, carefully closed the door of the office, and stood in front of Chiang Kai-shek's desk...

.

"Jingzhi is here. Jingzhi, I won't tell you the purpose of coming here, but you should know it. It is about Gu Zhutong in the Fifth War Zone. So far, a day and a night have passed, and the Military Commission has not contacted him yet.

The fifth theater... Could it be that these thousands of people who have already been defeated can really turn the world around and wipe out the 80,000 troops in the fifth theater in one fell swoop?" Before He Yingqin could speak, Chiang Kai-shek stared at him.

A pair of eyes just stared at He Yingqin in front of him, and then asked...

"Report to the Chairman. So far, we still don't have any news from the Fifth Theater. However, I believe that no matter how powerful the New Fourth Army's combat effectiveness is, it will not be possible to defeat the 80,000-strong army of our Fifth Theater in such a short period of time.

Eliminate them all... However, in order to understand the specific situation in the southern Anhui region earlier, I have ordered the intelligence personnel in the southern Anhui region to immediately enter the war zone and start collecting relevant intelligence. I believe that within a day at most, there will be the latest information

The news came from Wannan, Chairman, please rest assured..." He Yingqin quickly lowered his head and replied...

"You have done a good job. Although your idea is very reasonable, but more than a dozen command organizations above the brigade level have lost contact at the same time. In any case, I am still very worried. If the 80,000-strong army in the fifth theater

, if the whole army is really wiped out in this battle to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army, then we will really lose more than we gain... Respectfully, we not only need to know what happened in the Good Night area, but also mobilize troops to immediately reinforce the Wannan area to prevent

What accident happened? Now I am ordering, in the name of the Military Commission, to immediately issue combat orders to the *** troops around the fifth theater. They are required to assemble immediately, march at the fastest speed, day and night, and must be in the shortest possible time.

Within a short period of time, I feel that the southern Anhui region..." Chiang Kai-shek breathed a long sigh of relief, and then used his unique Zhejiang accent to loudly order...

"Yes, Chairman, I will give the order right away..." After saying that, He Yingqin quickly left the messy office and walked towards the Military Commission not far away...

And at this moment, after losing a large number of commanders, the 80,000 *** troops can be said to be completely scattered. Although, at this moment, their opponent New Fourth Army troops did not successfully break through.

They were successfully rescued by the special operations brigade. However, in the absence of a commander, each soldier, like a straggler, began to wander around the exhibition area of ​​Novo University, searching for money from the fallen soldiers.

Robbery of property...all kinds of inappropriate behaviors are endless and dazzling.

Although, at this moment, on the huge battlefield, several regiment commanders who were lucky enough not to be captured by the special operations brigade were not only commanding their troops in their respective theaters, but also began to collect the stragglers who had lost their commanders all over the mountains and plains. However,

Their strength alone was too weak. In two days, although several regiment leaders worked very hard, they only gathered less than half of the 40,000 soldiers. As for the remaining soldiers, they fled with weapons.

To join the army is to simply throw down their weapons and become ordinary people again. Of course, there are still some soldiers who are still hiding in the huge mountains...

And on this day, just as soldiers, still carrying their own weapons, began to search for possible stragglers in the mountains and plains, several soldiers dressed in ordinary people's clothes and holding shell guns in their hands

*Intelligence personnel were soon surrounded by dozens of soldiers... Under the threat of the soldiers' dark guns, several people had to take out their military commander's certificates and ask to see their supreme commander...

In less than an hour, these soldiers brought several military commanders whose identities were confirmed to a colonel. Standing in front of him was almost the highest-ranking military officer he had seen along the way.

After the commander, a special agent stood up and said to the commander of the small regiment in front of him: "Sir, we rushed to the war zone on orders from our superiors to investigate what happened in the entire war zone and why we lost contact with our superiors.

Sir, please set up a radio station immediately, contact our superiors, and report the situation here..."

"Brothers, you are finally here. If you don't come, there are so many troops, and I, the colonel commander, will almost be unable to hold them down... When I saw several military commanders in front of me, I heard that I could finally set up a radio station and contact my superiors.

The regiment commander, who already knew the details of the whole incident from the soldiers' mouths, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he immediately ordered the troops to start setting up radio stations, and through military telegraph signals, began to report what happened on the battlefield in a few days.

Everything should be reported word for word...

"Chairman, Chairman, there is news, there is news from the Fifth War Zone..." As soon as he received the telegram, Chief of Staff He Yingqin quickly rushed into Chiang Kai-shek's office regardless of the obstruction of the attendants...

"Fifth War Zone, Jingzhi, you said there is news from the Fifth War Zone. Come on, tell me, what happened in the Fifth War Zone in the past few days? Why didn't Gu Zhutong take the initiative to contact the Military Commission? Why did the Military Commission

I haven't been able to contact them. What is this Gu Zhutong doing..." Hearing the fifth war zone, He Yingqin, who just rushed in because he didn't knock on the door, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was about to get angry, immediately raised his

My head, I quickly asked...

"The report to the Chairman is not a telegram sent by Commander-in-Chief Gu, but a message sent by a colonel in the Fifth War Zone to the Military Commission through the military command radio signal..." Facing Chiang Kai-shek's question, He Yingqin could only keep his head low.

My own brain answered...

"Colonel Commander, how is this possible? There are dozens of officers above Major General in the entire fifth theater. When will it be the turn of a colonel commander to speak. Where is Gu Zhutong? Why doesn't Gu Zhutong directly report to the Military Commission?

Report, what happened in the fifth theater..." Chiang Kai-shek patted the table in front of him and asked loudly...

"Reporting to the commission, according to the telegram sent by Commander Wang, the 18 major generals and above officers in the fifth theater participated in this operation, including Commander-in-Chief Gu and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Shangguan Yun, except for two major generals who were directly killed.

, all the remaining generals and officers are missing. If nothing else happens, they should have been captured by the Japanese troops... In addition, about 20 lieutenant colonels, colonels and other mid-level officers have been captured. At present,

, the 80,000 troops belonging to the entire fifth theater, due to the loss of their commanders, and the counterattack of the New Fourth Army troops, there are only less than 40,000 troops left. These troops are now under the control of three colonel commanders to prevent the troops from

A mutiny occurred..." He Yingqin replied quietly...

"Lie down..." Just as He Yingqin finished speaking, in Chiang Kai-shek's hand, a glass that was just about to reach his mouth fell to the ground without warning and broke into pieces... A large glass of boiled water

, making Chiang Kai-shek's pants soaked in an instant. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was already in shock, still didn't react at all. He sat blankly at his desk, with his mouth open, saying nothing...

"My seat, my seat, you must pay attention to your health...your pants are wet with water..." Seeing Chiang Kai-shek who still had not reacted from the shock, He Yingqin reminded him in a low voice...

"Jingzhi, did I hear it correctly just now? Dozens of officers from Gu Zhutong on down in the Fifth War Zone were captured? How is it possible? You know, these senior officers are generally in command headquarters with heavy military protection, especially Gu Zhutong and

The two commanders Shangguan Yun must be protected by heavy troops... What happened? What kind of army is this? It can actually capture so many senior officers of our army quietly among thousands of troops..."

After reacting from the shock, Chiang Kai-shek showed a puzzled expression on his face, and then quickly asked...

"Commissioner, according to our investigation, this operation was definitely not carried out by the New Fourth Army troops, but by the Eighth Route Army troops far away in North China. According to the complaints of some soldiers and our analysis, this Eighth Route Army

This unit is probably the special operations brigade of the Eighth Route Army's *** Division... According to our intelligence, the size of this unit is about a thousand people. However, in this unit, almost every soldier is

They were carefully selected from among thousands of armies. More importantly, this unit underwent special training, was equipped with special weapons, and also performed special tasks. As for capturing the enemy's senior commanders among the army,

For this army, it can be said to be easy..." Facing Chiang Kai-shek's question, He Yingqin answered affirmatively...

"Niang Xipi, you are the Eighth Route Army's *** division again. Why is it that every action of the party and state is hindered by this unit? Why, despite all our calculations, we have not included this unit of the Eighth Route Army's *** type... Why

, Jingzhi, is it possible that even God is helping *** and the Eighth Route Army..." Until this moment, Chiang Kai-shek, who was sitting in his seat, finally confirmed that what he just heard was true. Then, his whole body was like a pool of water.

Like mud, he completely collapsed in his seat. From this moment on, his face could no longer see the usual majesty...

"Commissioner, now that something has happened, the tens of thousands of troops in the fifth theater cannot always be commanded by a few colonel commanders, and large-scale reorganization is urgently needed. Therefore, I believe that our current delay will definitely

We must deal with the aftermath, especially the remaining 40,000 remnants. We have already lost a total of 40,000 troops for this battle, and we must not suffer any more losses..." Facing the decadent Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin whispered

reminded...

"Jingzhi, what you said is right. No matter who God is helping. But I believe in one sentence, that is, it depends on man, man can defeat God... We must deal with the remaining 40,000 troops properly, and we must not suffer any more losses.

.Order Ci Xiu of the Military Commission to rush to the fifth theater immediately to organize the troops for reorganization. As for personnel appointments, Ci Xiu will appoint them directly and then report them to the Military Commission for filing..." With He Yingqin's reminder, he looked decadent.

For the sake of his own ambition and career, Chiang Kai-shek cheered up immediately and ordered He Yingqin in front of him with a sharp look on his face...

"Yes, the committee members are wise..." Seeing that the committee members in front of him, despite suffering such huge losses, did not forget to weaken the strength of the local warlords and expand the power of the Central Army. He Yingqin couldn't help but give a small pat.

The flattery of Chiang Kai-shek in front of me.

"Jingzhi, this is also a last resort. Now, the entire fifth theater headquarters has suffered a devastating blow. If a general-level officer is not sent from the Military Commission to suppress the battle, it is very likely that these tens of thousands of remaining soldiers will

There will be something like a mutiny. If this is the case, then we will really suffer heavy losses..." After hearing He Yingqin's answer, Chiang Kai-shek frowned and continued. Because in the past few years of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy.

He likes to be said that in the name of resisting Japan, he weakened the strength of local warlords and at the same time expanded the influence of the Central Army...
