Chapter 13 Accidents
Nanjing, commander-in-chief.
Because Chairman Jiang insisted on refusing to withdraw his troops, the senior generals of the country had no choice but to look for troops everywhere to plug the loopholes in Jinshanwei and Songjiang.
Chen Cheng said: "Commissioner, Zhang Fakui has transferred the main force of the 62nd Division back to Jinshan Guard!"
"62nd Division?" Chairman Jiang frowned, "One 62nd Division is far from enough!"
Gu Zhutong whispered: "Zhong Song's 61st Division is resting on the south bank of the Huangpu River!"
Chairman Jiang shook his head and said, "The 61st Division has already let the Japanese army crippled in Wusong. Although Zhong Song's Independent 20th Brigade was added, Zhong Song's Brigade also suffered heavy losses in the previous battles and could not fight a tough battle!"
It was He Yingqin who said, "Commission, Wu Keren's 67th Army has arrived in Qingpu!"
"67 Army?" Chairman Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hurry, please order the 67 Army to quickly rush to the Jinshan Guard!"
At this time, Chen Cheng whispered: "The commissioner has more than 100 miles from Qingpu to Jinshan Guard. No matter how fast the 67th Army is, it will not be able to arrive at Jinshan Guard until noon tomorrow. With the existing garrison force of Jinshan Guard, it will be a miracle to last two hours. It is probably impossible to persevere until tomorrow!"
"Brother Cixiu is very concerned about it." He Yingqin also said, "Rashly rushing to the Jinshan Guard, it is very likely to encounter the Japanese army in the middle of the journey. If you settle in Songjiang in advance, you will have time to step up the repair of fortifications."
"Okay!" Chairman Jiang sighed lightly. Just as he was about to agree, he saw Dai Li hurried in.
"Commission!" Dai Li quickly walked into the command hall, unable to hide the joy in his expression, and said anxiously, "I just received a telegram from Jinshan Guard. The defenders have defeated the two groups of Japanese rushing to the beach!"
"What?"
"Two groups of people who have defeated the Japanese in succession?"
"Impossible? Could it be wrong?"
"That's it! What's the use of just two consecutive?"
As soon as he heard this, the entire hall exploded immediately.
Chairman Jiang was also a little disbelief and said with surprise: "Yunnong, is this true?"
Before Dai Li could answer, Bai Chongxi rushed to say, "Old Dai, don't ask for rewards if your subordinates take the initiative!"
"Please be careful when Mr. Jian!" Dai Li said coldly, and then turned to Chairman Jiang and said, "Mr., I have verified it repeatedly, and this news is absolutely true!"
"Is that true!" Chairman Jiang was overjoyed!
"Okay, very, very good, very good!" Chairman Jiang said four good words in a row and asked again, "By the way, I remember that the one who stayed at Jinshan Guard seemed to be a battalion commander of the 62nd Division. What is his name?"
"Call Wang Zilong." Dai Li said, "a student of the eighth session of the Central Military Academy."
"Oh, is that?" Chairman Jiang became more and more happy when he heard this.
After saying that, Chairman Jiang turned his head and said to Chen Cheng: "Ci Xiu, what did you say just now?"
Chen Cheng said a little embarrassedly: "Returning to the commission, Bei Zhi said just now that with the existing garrison force of Kingsoft Guard, it is already a miracle to be able to last for two hours!"
Chairman Jiang continued, "I'll ask you, what time is it now?"
Chen Cheng looked at the wall clock and whispered: "Five after eight o'clock!"
"In other words, it has been two hours since the Japanese army initiated the landing in Jinshanwei!" Chairman Jiang said, "But Jinshanwei's coastal defense is still in the hands of our army!"
Chen Cheng said ashamed: "The judgment of humble posts is wrong."
"You are not making a mistake!" Chairman Jiang snorted, "You are the student who looks down on me!"
After pausing, Chairman Jiang said again: "Ci Xiu, Jingzhi, Jiansheng, and Mo San, I tell you that our Whampoa Military Academy has produced many talents and can always create miracles!"
He Yingqin hurriedly said, "Congratulations to the commissioner for his humble position, and he won another talent!"
Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong also quickly congratulated each other, but Bai Chongxi remained silent.
Chairman Jiang laughed twice, turned his head and said to Dai Li: "Yunnong, call Wang Zilong immediately and give him a commendation for the heroic performance of his officers and soldiers! Tell him again, no matter what, he will hold on to the Kingsoft Guard for at least two hours!"
This shows that Chairman Jiang was still very clear-headed. He did not think that he could defend the Jinshan Guard because Wang Zilong defeated the two groups of Japanese soldiers to grab the beach! Instead, he only asked to hold on for another two hours!
After a pause, Chairman Jiang said to He Yingqin again: "Respect him and order the 67th Army to enter Songjiang quickly! At the same time, they order them to defend Songjiang for at least ten days no matter how they are! There is also the main force of the 62nd Division, ordering them to immediately rush to Jinshan County, and at the same time, they ask them to defend Jinshan County for five days no matter how they are. No, just stick to it for three days!"
Dai Li agreed to leave.
He Yingqin wanted to speak but stopped.
Chairman Jiang frowned and asked, "Jingzhi, is there any other problem?"
He Yingqin whispered: "While ordering the 67th Army to defend Songjiang for at least ten days, should we also issue a retreat order to the troops on the Songhu Front?"
Chairman Jiang said, "No, the retreat order cannot be issued!"
"I understand!" He Yingqin didn't say anything more.
Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Gu Zhu and others were also speechless. It seems that Chairman Jiang has made up his mind and will never order the withdrawal of troops from the Songhu battlefield before the Nine-Country Convention is held!
Now, I can only hope that Tao Guang's 62nd Division and Wu Keren's 67th Army can hold on for a few more days in Jinshan County and Songjiang! In any case, I have to persist until the shit meeting in Brussels is over!
As for Wang Zilong's two companies, it's a miracle to be able to hold on for another two hours, and I really can't ask for more.
...
Jinshanwei, Haiyue Temple.
Ho Ajiu rode a rickshaw to the frontier observation post.
At this time, the second Japanese snatching the beach had been repelled.
"Brother, this is a commendation order issued by the Commissioner himself. Congratulations!" He Ajiu smiled and handed a commendation order to Wang Zilong, and continued, "You will be successful in the future, but don't forget to recommend me, brother."
"You know it has nothing to do with me." Wang Zilong did not reach out to answer, "Why didn't you report it truthfully?"
"Report it truthfully?" He Ajiu glanced at Zhong Yi who was walking not far away and said with a wry smile, "I want to report it to you. I will never dare to report it until I have verified my identity as Zhong."
Wang Zilong asked, "Why, is there a problem with his identity surnamed Zhong?"
"I can't say it." He Ajiu shook his head and said, "I have already checked it."
While the two of them were talking, Zhong Yi had already walked in with great strides. Seeing that He Ajiu was also there, he immediately said: "Captain He, I am looking for you. Hurry up, let your Rangers be ready for attack!"
"What's going on?" He Ajiu said in confusion, "Didn't you just defeat the second Japanese rushing for the beach? The sea defense line is as stable as a rock, so we need our Rangers to rush to help?"
