    Chapter 154: The boss¡¯s shock (new book, please watch)

    Jiujiang. Lushan. Chairman¡¯s official residence.

    The small study room was crowded with generals. Except for the Chairman of the General Committee, who was dressed in casual clothes, the rest of the generals were all generals. In addition to the Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin and the Commander-in-Chief of Wuhan Garrison Command Chen Cheng, there were also Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, the Fifth Theater Command  Commander Li Zongren, Director of Military Command Dai Li, Director of Attendants' Office Wang Shihe and others.

    Although there are not many in number, they are all generals. The lowest ranking military commander is Dai Li, who is only a major general. The rest are all lieutenant generals and generals.

    At this time, the atmosphere in the study room was solemn, and everyone had the same look on their faces. To describe it in one word, it was like mourning for a heir!

    After a long time, Chairman Chiang, who was sitting on the main seat, let out a long breath and said: "The fall of Nanjing is a foregone conclusion, so don't worry too much. Fortunately, Tang Shengzhi and others have already broken out. It's just a pity that the 100,000 troops  !¡±

    "Principal, is there really nothing we can do about the 100,000 troops?" Chen Cheng asked with a frown.

    "Hey, the telegram sent back by Tang Shengzhi from the north bank of the Yangtze River last night said that the city was in complete chaos, and most of the defenders had collapsed. In addition, most of the officers had withdrawn to the north bank, and the remaining troops were leaderless. Those who had broken out of the encirclement  possibility"

    Chairman Chiang didn¡¯t say what he said next, but everyone knew what it meant. It¡¯s more dangerous than good!

    At this time, He Yingqin suddenly said: "Principal, according to the information I got, Tang Shengzhi, Liu Xing and others had already escaped before the city of Nanjing was broken, and even the most basic breakout plan and order were not issued, which led to the collapse of the Nanjing front line.  Hundreds of thousands of troops formed a chaotic mess!"

    Everyone looked at He Yingqin in surprise, wondering what he was going to do. He was so obviously attacking Tang Shengzhi. Should he hold him accountable or settle his scores?

    However, there were some understanding people inside, but Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi suddenly said: "Brother Jing, what do you mean by this? Do you want Old Tang to be responsible for the fall of Nanjing City?"

    As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that Nanjing was originally the capital of China, and losing it would be a great shame. However, the Chinese army, with hundreds of thousands of troops defending Nanjing, only fought for a little more than a week. This shame is even greater.  When things get big, a heavyweight is needed to take responsibility both publicly and privately.

    Judging from the current situation, Tang Shengzhi, as the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, is the most suitable person to take the blame. After all, he was the one who advocated the defense of Nanjing before the war began, and he shamelessly shouted the slogan that he would live or die with the city of Nanjing.  But in the end he abandoned the city and fled, even if he was shot, it would be justified.

    ????????????????????????????????? More importantly, Tang Shengzhi¡¯s rank is not low. There are only a few second-level army generals in China. If Tang Shengzhi is captured, the people will not be able to explain anything!

    "It is certainly a way to capture Old Tang, but the subsequent impact may be disastrous. I am afraid no one will work for us anymore!" Commander Li said calmly.

    At this time, Chairman Jiang said in a deep voice: "I gave the order to retreat. No wonder Meng Xiao, he has tried his best! Not only Meng Xiao, but all the soldiers on the Nanjing front line have tried their best. Let's not talk about responsibility. We  Now I still want to think about whether we can rescue those troops on the Nanjing front line. After all, they are all elites of the party and state. It would be a pity to be buried in Nanjing city!"

    Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "It's not very likely. The city of Nanjing itself has been surrounded by Japanese troops on three sides. Except for the Yangtze River in the north, even if they can break through from other directions, they can only break through with a small number of troops. If there are more, they will not be able to hide it from the little devils."  . And if you want to cross the river, you need a detailed retreat plan and stable command, as well as enough ferries, both of which are indispensable!"

    "It is especially important who comes to the rear. Otherwise, when the Japs come in pursuit, the army will be holed up in the small dock, and there will be no other possibility except to serve as a living target for the Japs!"

    "But everyone knows the current situation in Nanjing. The city has been destroyed, the troops have been routed, and the garrison headquarters has been withdrawn. Now the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the troops. The most important thing is that there are not many ferries. I am afraid that 100,000 people can't  If ten or twenty thousand people escaped, we would be lucky!"

    Hearing the analysis of this Guangxi leader, who is known as Little Zhuge, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with sadness!

    In fact, Bai Chongxi didn't need to tell them that the defenders of Nanjing City were doomed. They had no detailed retreat plan and no one to direct them. They had to face hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese troops who were chasing and intercepting them. They were still in an absolute death spot. Even if Sun Wu was defeated  It¡¯s useless wherever you put it!

    At this moment, Dai Li, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Principal, everyone, the situation in Nanjing is actually better than you think. No, it should be??A lot!  "

    Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Yunong, what do you mean by this? Is there still hope for a turn in Nanjing?"

    "Back to the principal, the destruction of Nanjing is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change this! However, the troops in the city have not collapsed, but are retreating in an orderly manner!" Dai Li said shockingly.

    "What, this is impossible. You have all read the telegram sent by Tang Shengzhi to Lushan. Even he, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison, said so. How can it be possible to retreat in an orderly manner?" Chairman Chiang asked with a look of surprise.

    "The specific situation is not very clear to me, but before I came here, I just received a telegram from the stationmaster of Nanjing, confirming that the Japanese army had indeed invaded Nanjing and occupied all important facilities and units in the city. Nanjing fell. But  According to the report from the stationmaster of Nanjing Station, the troops and people in the city have withdrawn outside the city, and the defenders retreated calmly and orderly, without being completely defeated!" Dai Li replied.

    "How is this possible? Even Tang Shengzhi, Gui Yongqing, Wang Jingjiu and others have withdrawn to the north bank of the Yangtze River. Who can suppress those arrogant and powerful generals?" He Yingqin also said with a look of disbelief.

    Chairman Chiang suddenly asked: "Yunong, how many generals are there in Nanjing now, and who is the highest-ranking one?"

    "Report to the principal, there should be more than a dozen generals who have not retreated, but most of them are major generals and brigade commanders. There are only three lieutenant general commanders, namely Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, and Ye Zhao, commander of the 66th Army.  , Deng Longguang, commander of the 83rd Army! By the way, Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police and mayor of Nanjing, is also here!" Dai Li said.

    "Is it Sun Yuanliang?"

    "Impossible, you should also know that Sun Yuanliang is appointed. Although his commanding ability is acceptable, he definitely does not have the courage to turn the tide in such a critical situation!" Bai Chongxi said lightly.

    Everyone knows what Bai Chongxi means. Although Sun Yuanliang is a direct descendant of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and is highly regarded, he is nothing in the eyes of these two Guangxi clan bosses. The main reason is that Sun Yuanliang has shown his "flying" in many battles.  The true nature of a general" is really annoying.

    Although Chairman Jiang felt uncomfortable, he did not say anything more and continued: "Who could it be, Ye Zhao? Or Deng Guanglong?"

    "Ye Zhao and Deng Guanglong's commanding abilities are pretty good, but Ye Zhao is from the Guangdong Army, and the arrogant generals of the Central Army may not obey him. As for Deng Guanglong, although he is also a lieutenant general, he lacks courage. I think it is most likely that  On the contrary, it's that Xiaoshan order!" Bai Chongxi said.

    Chairman Chiang thought for a while and said: "Shihe, please contact the 66th Army and the 83rd Army and ask them about their situation! Then send a telegram to the Military Police Headquarters, asking General Xiaoshan to report immediately on the situation in Nanjing City.  Go to the Military Commission!¡±

    "yes!"

    Soon, Wang Shihe walked in with a strange expression, then placed several telegrams in front of Chairman Jiang and said: "Principal, these are telegrams from the 66th Army, the 83rd Army and the Military Police Headquarters!"

    Chairman Chiang nodded and picked up the top piece of the message and read it. Then he said with joy, "Hahaha, the 66th Army has withdrawn and has arrived at Tongjing Town. It is safe for the time being. Although the losses are not small.  , but the organizational structure is still complete, not bad!¡±

    Hearing this, all the generals in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief. They were used to hearing bad news. At first glance, it was really gratifying!

    "Hahaha, the 83rd Army is not bad. They also withdrew. The 154th Division suffered heavy losses. One brigade commander, one regiment commander died, and four battalion commanders died. Most of the troops were lost, but they still withdrew.  . They are evacuating to Ningguo according to the order of the garrison headquarters. Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise!"

    "Then Chairman Chiang picked up the last telegram, but after just two glances, he stood up suddenly. The expression on his face was horrified with a hint of doubt, but more of it was excitement!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
