Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Two Thought Unification Conference
After listening to Luo Zhuoying's words, Su Tong smiled slightly. Su Tong still had a good impression of this general who performed well in the Battle of Songhu.
He nodded towards Luo Zhuoying, "Brother You Qing took great care of the 102nd Division during the Battle of Songhu. I haven't thanked you yet."
Luo Zhuoying said solemnly, "I don't dare bother you, sir. It's a matter of humble duty."
Su Tong and Hou Li stood beside the deputy commander-in-chief Liu Xing, the chief of staff Zhou Lan, the deputy chief of staff She Nianci and others. After seeing the ceremony, Su Tong turned around and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su wants to do it now."
I am taking the lead. Since this airport is crucial for the arrival of my follow-up troops, I want to temporarily control this airport. What do you guys think?"
Tang Shengzhi and others looked at each other. This Chief Su is really overbearing. He wanted control of the airport just after getting off the plane. Could it be that he can't trust us?
In fact, Su Tong's move was out of necessity. For Su Tong, who relies entirely on air transportation, this Nanjing's only airport is so important that it is not an exaggeration to call it a lifeline. If it is not in his own hands, he will
I'm not worried at all.
Luo Zhuoying and the other officers looked at it helplessly, and had no choice but to say: "Of course, people with lower rank should obey orders."
Su Tong laughed after hearing this, "Thank you so much, Mr. Su, Tieniu, leaving a battalion to guard the airport to welcome the arrival of the follow-up troops."
"Follow your orders"
Tieniu responded dully and said to the commander of the third guard battalion who had just got off the plane, "Leave one battalion to guard the airport, and the rest will follow Commander Su."
Looking at the heavily armed and murderous soldiers and trucks that were constantly coming off the giant transport plane, Tang Shengzhi and others couldn't help but envy them. These soldiers looked like elite men who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and every move showed such a sense of heroism.
Fierce temperament.
Luo Zhuoying couldn't help but admired: "Chief Su, these soldiers are really extraordinary. Even if these soldiers are randomly selected from the central military ranks, they are the material to be the platoon leader and company commander."
"Haha, brother You Qing, thank you. Let's go in." After saying this, Su Tong took the lead and boarded the jeep that had been waiting aside.
The car soon arrived in front of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters located in the center of Nanjing city. Tang Shengzhi smiled and said to Su Tong: "Sir Su, the soldiers here heard that Chief Su is coming to Nanjing to live and die together in Nanjing. Their morale suddenly rose. The troops
All the military chiefs admire your reputation and want to see you."
Luo Zhuoying and others who were walking behind couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Tang Shengzhi said this is not kind. You are clearly trying to make Su Tong's army coexist with Nanjing. They are here to help, but you are
You want to tie people to death here. What do you mean?
They couldn't help but glance at Su Tong secretly, fearing that the newly arrived savior would be furious. Unexpectedly, Su Tong just smiled slightly, said nothing, and just asked: "Where is the conference room?"
Tang Shengzhi hurriedly rushed to the front to lead the way. Under the leadership of Tang Shengzhi, everyone walked towards the conference room.
As soon as I walked to the door of the conference room, I heard the duty officer shout loudly: "Sir, everyone is here, stand up."
"Wow!" A standing sound suddenly sounded in the conference room.
As soon as Su Tong entered the conference room, there was a burst of warm applause. The generals in the conference room had just witnessed Su Tong's spectacular arrival, and the shocking way he appeared had stunned many people.
Already.
The overwhelming fleet of aircraft and the powerful attack capabilities were something these soldiers had never seen in their lives. Therefore, they all responded with warm applause to the arrival of the commander who could only lend a helping hand when Nanjing was in crisis.
After entering the conference room, he saw dozens of [] generals standing neatly in the conference room saluting him. Chief Su couldn't help but feel happy. So many of Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates saluted him. It seems that he is now
It still has some prestige.
Tang Shengzhi smiled beside him and invited Su Tong to take the seat. Su Tong strode up without any courtesy.
Su Tong unceremoniously came to the first place and pressed his hand to everyone. This gesture was something he learned from TV in later generations. Sure enough, everyone did it in unison, which made our Su Tong even more
The commander's mood is as good as ever.
Seeing that Su Tong took the first place without hesitation, Tang Shengzhi who was following behind couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Chief Su really doesn't know what politeness means. Even if you want to take the first place, can't you be humble? After all, I am also a Nanjing appointee appointed by the Chairman.
Commander of the garrison.
Su Tong unceremoniously sat down on the boss's seat, then looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I don't like to use polite words. Since I have only one purpose in Nanjing, then
I'm just here to fight the Japanese. I don't care whose subordinates you are now. Since I'm here, everyone must obey my orders, at least during the period of guarding Nanjing. Can you do it? I'm just telling you ugly things.
"First of all, if you can't agree, just say it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if something happens to me during the war, don't blame me, Mr. Su, for not giving him face."
"In this humble position, I am willing to listen to the orders of my superiors," everyone including Tang Shengzhi said in unison.
Who among the people here is not a human spirit? Judging from Su Tong's performance just now, he is really not so strong. Even Tang Shengzhi has become a follower. If he dares to jump out and give Officer Su eye drops at this time, he will
But I don’t mind bringing a few people out to show off my authority.
Tang Shengzhi also looked away. Since Su Tong was here, if he could defend Nanjing, he would certainly have a share of the credit. If he couldn't defend Nanjing, Su Tong, a tall man, would be there to support him. As the old saying goes, it's easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
"Well." Seeing so many people succumbing to his bastard spirit, Su Tong was even more satisfied. He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now, can anyone tell me about the current situation?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chief of Staff Zhou Lan, and Zhou Lan was not polite. This was his duty as Chief of Staff.
He walked aside with a pointer, opened the curtain in the corner, revealed the huge schematic diagram of the Battle of Nanjing hanging on the wall, and began to explain it one by one.
Zhou Lan, the lieutenant general's chief of staff, was really not given for nothing. He held his whip and pointed at the map and began to explain, "Currently, the Japanese Army's Shanghai Expeditionary Force has a total of nine divisions plus two detachments, a total of more than 200,000 people attacking our capital.
As of today, Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai, Lion Rock, Guanghua Gate, and Zhonghua Gate are still in the hands of our army, and all other peripheral positions have fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders. The number of our 150,000-strong army that can still fight is less than 100,000 and
There is a lack of ammunition and no medicines. The situation is very bad.”
Zhou Lan quickly explained in a few words the deployment of our army in Nanjing, the direction of the Japanese army's attack, and the current situation between the enemy and ourselves. After listening to Zhou Lan's explanation, the atmosphere in the conference room below was very dull.
These [ ] generals have been fighting very hard these days, and now that Su Tong is here, they all want to see how Su Tong solves these unfavorable situations.
After listening to Zhou Lan's explanation, Su Tong asked indifferently: "Okay, after listening to Chief of Staff Zhou's introduction, do you guys have anything to say?"
"Sir, Qiu Qingquan, chief of staff of the humble teaching corps, would like to ask you, sir, how to solve the problem of how many weapons and ammunition our reinforcements have?"
"Qiu Qingquan" Su Tong glanced at the famous Crazy Qiu and said: "Of course there are reinforcements. A new infantry division will arrive tonight. Three days later at the latest, there will be three infantry divisions and an artillery division. Questions about weapons and ammunition?
Don’t worry, our transport planes and airships will continue to arrive, and I will replenish it for you as much as you, Madman Qiu, do. How about my Chief of Staff Qiu, are you satisfied with my answer?”
Su Tonghao's angry words calmed Qiu Qingquan, and he murmured twice and then fell silent.
"Sir, I would like to ask you how powerful the air support can be." At this time, a middle-aged lieutenant general stood up and asked in a calm and humble manner.
"Who are you?" Su Tong asked curiously.
"The humble post of Commander of the 74th Army Yu Jishi"
Oh, it turned out to be the Chairman's fellow countryman and supporter. Su Tong looked at Yu Ji and nodded, "Generally, if there are no special problems, you can call for air support at any time. They will arrive at your area within five minutes. Of course, by that time
I will assign a liaison officer to each of your groups."
When Su Tong said this, the whole audience was in an uproar. When did air support become as worthless as cabbage on the street, but it was still on call?
"This is true." Yu Jishi was so excited that his whole body was shaking. If air support could be on call at any time, what would he have to fear about the Japanese? If the Japanese could advance even half a step forward, he could write Yu Jishi's name backwards.
"Of course," Chief Su said affirmatively: "Not only will we have air support, we will also have artillery support after the artillery troops arrive in two days. By then, this battle will be much easier to fight."
"But" Su Tong's face turned serious again at this point, "If you want airplanes, I'll give you them, if you want ammunition, I'll give you them, if you want artillery support, I'll give you them, if you want reinforcements, I'll give you all. If anyone dares to violate me, I'll give it to you."
, If you are being naughty, humph, don’t blame me, Mr. Su, for being unkind. If I, Mr. Su, dare to kill Lao Maozi and the Japanese, why don’t I dare to kill a few subordinates who disobey orders?"
As Su Tong's murderous words rang out in the conference room, everyone who had been immersed in joy just a moment ago remembered that they themselves were arrogant soldiers at best, but the man in front of them was a murderer. What about Vladivostok?
More than 200,000 corpses have not been cleaned up yet. Don't be stupid and let this evil star catch something.
"In this humble position, I will obey the instructions of my superiors and never dare to disobey military orders." Everyone replied in unison, and the voices were more uniform than ever before.
Su Tong nodded with satisfaction. It seems that this ideological unification conference was a success.
