    Chapter 63: Wu Keren, the scapegoat (new book, please watch)

    The atmosphere in the conference room was unusually solemn. Although this was not a meeting to investigate responsibilities, the frontline troops suffered such a disastrous failure, and the headquarters should give an explanation to the people of the country and the frontline soldiers.

    "Ci Xiu, you are the commander-in-chief of the front line, please tell us about the situation on the front line!" Lao Jiang calmed down the anger in his heart and said again.

    "Yes, seat!"

    Then Chen Cheng strode to the main wall in front of the conference room, picked up a pointer from the side, pointed at the giant map hanging on the wall and said: "Songjiang fell on November 9, and the 67th Army was defeated. Commander Wu Keren,  The whereabouts of Chief of Staff Wu Tonggang and others were unknown, and they were suspected of escaping before the battle, which directly caused the Japanese Sixth Division to penetrate the backs of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the Songhu front line. As a last resort, we had to order the troops to retreat immediately!"

    "According to the deployment of our third theater, the retreating troops were divided into two groups, all the way to Nanjing, and all the way to the area west of Suzhou-Jiaxing. However, at this time, the various units on the front line were in chaos and collapsed. The officers and soldiers  They were all afraid of being seized by the Japanese army and rushed to retreat. Several narrow roads were crowded with hundreds of thousands of troops and groups of fleeing civilians. The organization of the troops was completely disrupted, and officers could not find soldiers.  The soldiers did not want to find an official, so everyone ran westward regardless of the cost, materials and things were abandoned, and the wounded soldiers lay groaning on the roadside."

    "In addition, the Japanese bombers were bombing indiscriminately overhead, and the underground Japanese troops were pressing behind. All the retreat roads were extremely chaotic. There were even small groups of Japanese troops infiltrating in disguise, and the 17th Army headquarters was occupied by a lightly armed group.  The Japanese army was caught off guard, and most of the guards and staff were killed. Army commander Hu Zongnan only managed to escape with a few staff officers and joined the disintegrating army; Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, had his car overturned by a Japanese machine gun.  , the driver and the guard were beaten to death, and Xue Yue rolled and crawled in a sewer ditch without breathing for several hours before escaping."

    "In short, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and the army retreated hastily. In the vast darkness, hundreds of thousands of troops crowded on a road. Most of them followed the army, but a few people left the team and ran away. The army was defeated like a mountain, and the road was blocked. It was really difficult to move forward.  .¡±

    "Mother Xipi, where are the national defense fortifications? Where are our national defense fortifications? Are they useless at all?" Lao Jiang roared.

    The national defense fortifications mentioned by Chiang Kai-shek refer to the two pre-built defense fortifications that the troops must pass through during their retreat, namely the Wu-Fu Line (Suzhou-Fushan) and the Xicheng Line (Wuxi-Chengjiang).  According to the pre-war battle plan, the Chinese army would gradually retreat to these two defense fortifications in order to engage in a protracted defensive war after putting up a certain amount of resistance in the Shanghai area.

    "Commissioner, when our army retreated to these two defense fortifications, because the organization of each unit had been disrupted, the troops could not assemble and mobilize, and there were Japanese troops chasing closely behind them. In this case, the large troops  Unable to use these two defense fortifications to carry out effective resistance, the few troops who were behind the cover could not find the key to the fortifications. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of troops had no choice but to crowded through these two fortifications, which had cost countless financial resources to build, and headed west.  Let's go." Chen Cheng said.

    "Absurd, really ridiculous! Because of this ridiculous reason, the two "Oriental Manochi Lines of Defense" that the party-state had painstakingly built could only stare blankly at batches of Japanese soldiers who were short and unattractive in appearance.  Don't you feel ashamed that the donkey flies over your noble head and tramples on the great mountains and rivers of China?"

    Under Lao Jiang's questioning, everyone lowered their heads. Many people felt aggrieved about the tragic defeat in Songhu, but in this case, they could never say it out loud and could only endure it.  accepted this accusation.

    "Now the Japanese invaders are advancing westward along the route of our army's retreat. They will arrive in Nanjing soon. Can you tell me, will Nanjing be defended?" Lao Jiang asked again in a deep voice.

    This is another heavy question. Nanjing is different from Shanghai. Although Shanghai is important, it is much inferior to Nanjing, the capital city. At this time, Nanjing is not only the political, economic and cultural center of China, but also a city with a population exceeding  A million-dollar city can be said to be a symbol of China. Once lost, the consequences can be said to be disastrous.

    But the problem is that Nanjing's geographical location is not easy to defend. The water and land transportation here is developed. The Japs can advance westward from the Songhu front line, and their navy can also reach Nanjing directly from the Yangtze River waterway. Under the current situation, the government has almost no way to defend Nanjing.  possible.

    However, even though they knew this, no one dared to say it. After all, it was about the life and death of the country, and more importantly, personal life and death. Anyone who advocated abandoning Nanjing would be despised by thousands of people in the future and become a sinner for the ages.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????, but everyone is a smart person, and they know that the commissioner did this not just because the 67th Army failed to defend Songjiang City, but for another reason.

    Over the past year, Wu Keren has been running and shouting for Marshal Zhang many times, and even publicly accused Nanjing of his faults. His ending today was completely predictable, and tactically speaking, only Wu Keren, who was guarding Songjiang, could be this person.  The scapegoat has no choice. Anyone can take advantage of his official position and status, and he and the 67th Army can be dealt with.

    I have to say that Wu Keren was really unlucky. He was on par with Lieutenant General Li Fuyingyou of the 61st Army in Shanxi who was shot dead by Yan Laoxi. What unlucky!

    Precisely because he saw this clearly, no one in the conference room could say a fair word for Wu Keren and the 67th Army. There was only a strong sense of depression in the conference room.

    "If you don't have any objections, the Military and Political Department will just handle it as it is!" Lao Jiang said coldly.

    "Yes, seat appointment!" He Yingqin nodded and said.

    At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Wang Shihe, the director of the attendant's office in military uniform, hurried in from the outside with a message in his hand and a happy face.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
