Chapter eight hundred and twentieth the victory that came early
The early victory was guaranteed by Liu Hua, Commander-in-Chief of the East China Field Army, who was a popular figure both in the country and within the Communist Party. Wang Jingwei himself, including all the senior officials of the puppet Nationalist Government, could not help but relax.
He took a breath and relaxed his nervousness. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel happy about his original decision.
After the reply from the former enemy headquarters of the East China Field Army was circulated to all participants, Wang Jingwei, the host of the last high-level meeting of the Wang Puppet National Government, spoke first.
"Everyone, with the assurance from Commander-in-Chief Liu of the East China Field Army, I believe everyone should feel relieved. However, we still have many things to complete next, which is how to complete the tasks assigned by Commander-in-Chief Liu."
"Dean Chen, your Executive Yuan, including all the police stations in the city, must play their role at this moment. They must ensure the order in Nanjing during the entire battle. Keep the entire Nanjing city as close as possible.
Completely handed over to the hands of the East China Field Army. At the same time, after the city of Nanjing is destroyed, we should try our best to restrain the Japanese residents in the city to prevent them from causing trouble. We should show our importance to the East China Field Army...¨" Wang Jingwei first faced Chen beside him.
Dean Gongbo ordered.
"Chairman, please rest assured. Although the combat effectiveness of our troops is not as good as that of the East China Field Army outside the city. However, I believe that the police force we have spent a lot of money to establish will be no less than any police force in the country, and we are guaranteed to complete the mission..." Chen
Gongbo replied very confidently.
Wang Jingwei still had great trust in Chen Gongbo, his confidant for more than ten years. After nodding with great satisfaction at his answer, he followed up and ordered to Vice President Zhou Fohai on the other side.
"Dean Zhou and Dean Chen are in charge of public security in the city. Then, you will be responsible for the entire city's secret service agencies and intelligence systems. At the same time... I have to give you a very important task now. This task,
Once completed, it will be of great benefit to you and all of us..."
Looking at Chairman Wang Jingwei's bright eyes, Zhou Fohai immediately realized that a huge opportunity was in front of him... If he could seize this opportunity, it is very likely that a huge military exploit would be his own. Thinking of this, Zhou Fohai's eyes immediately flashed
There was a flash of sharpness, and he followed closely and asked.
"Chairman, what's the mission?"
"Intelligence system. However, it is not our intelligence system, but the Japanese intelligence system distributed in China. We have cooperated with the Japanese for so long, and have a certain degree of understanding of their intelligence system. And you, now
The mission is to spend these days, or even dozens of hours, as clear as possible and collect the intelligence network deployed by the Japanese in the main offensive territory... sort them out. Think about it, after Nanjing is defeated, if we
If we give this important intelligence system to the East China Field Army, what will the East China Field Army think of us...¨"
"Chairman, I understand. Please rest assured, Chairman, please rest assured. I will definitely prepare this great force for the East China Field Army to satisfy the East China Field Army...¨"
After listening to Wang Jingwei's explanation...even Zhou Fohai, who has worked in the intelligence service and politics for decades...can't help but admire the chairman in front of him for his sophistication and his accuracy in looking at the problem.
You know... even if the entire city of Nanjing falls into the hands of the East China Field Army intact, it will only be a superficial phenomenon.
Because the Japanese military intelligence departments hidden in Nanjing City, and even the Japanese military intelligence departments hidden throughout Central China, would inflict huge losses to the newly victorious East China Field Army in the coming period.
To put it more bluntly, for the East China Field Army, this intelligence system can not only solve their urgent needs. In terms of importance, it is no less important than an army of 100,000 people.
Thinking of this, Zhou Fohai's face was immediately shrouded in a blush. In his heart, he also began to think about how to successfully complete this task, which is of great benefit to himself...
Just when the whole meeting was about to end, a combat staff officer from the General Staff Headquarters rushed in panting. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he said: "Report to the chairman, sirs. The latest information from the intelligence department:
Under the fierce attack of the East China Field Army outside the city, the last reserve force in the hands of the Japanese Central China Front Army, which was the newly formed 5,000 new soldiers, had already marched in three different directions ten minutes ago to the southeast and west of Nanjing.
Reinforcements are sent to the city gate. So far, the entire Japanese Central China Front headquarters has only one reinforced garrison force..."
"So fast..." In less than two days, an elite Japanese field division of 30,000 troops was completely exhausted by the East China Field Army... It seems that the combat effectiveness of the East China Field Army should not be underestimated.
You have chosen the right path to rebel against the enemy. Otherwise, even if you die fighting with the Japanese in Nanjing, you can't close your eyes..." After a brief shock, Wang Jingwei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
, after receiving the telegram from Wang Jingwei, Liu Hua issued orders to strengthen the offensive to all frontline combat units. Of course, this kind of strong attack is not an attack regardless of consumption. It is to increase the firepower output of the offensive troops and use intensive
The firepower, during the attack, killed a large number of the effective forces of the Japanese defenders...
In this way, when the 100,000-strong East China Field Army consumed almost half of its ammunition reserves in just two days of fighting, the effect also appeared. The Japanese Central China Front deployed a field division in various positions in Nanjing City, totaling three
The army of ten thousand was almost exhausted.
Just when Matsui Iwane mobilized the last strategic reserve team in his hands, a total of 5,000 new soldiers who had just received weapons. On the entire front line, the number of Japanese troops who could continue to fight was less than 10,000. At the same time, the entire Nanjing city defense
Many positions of the fortifications have been breached by the East China Field Army. It can be said that the city of Nanjing has reached a critical juncture where the city may be breached at any time.
As soon as Wang Jingwei finished speaking, Chen Gongbo, the president of the Executive Yuan, followed him and said with the same excitement: "Chairman, the time has come. Do you think we will launch an attack immediately and first capture the Japanese Army's Central China Front Headquarters?"
, give the Japanese army a center to bloom..."
"That's for sure..." Wang Jingwei replied affirmatively.
"Now in the entire city of Nanjing, the Japanese army only has one reinforced brigade with more than a thousand people left. And we have three reorganized divisions, namely the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions. In terms of strength, they are already far behind
Overtake the Japanese army. If we don’t counterattack at this time, we will have no chance if we wait any longer. Now I order the First Division to attack immediately, surround and attack the Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters, and ensure that no one slips through the net. As for the Japanese Central China Front Army Commander Matsui Iwane
, I want to see people alive, and I want to see corpses when I die..."
"The second division, with regiments as units, occupied the grain depots, material warehouses, armories, ammunition depots in the city... to ensure the safety of these military facilities..."
"The third division, with brigades as units, gave up attacks on the three walls of the east, west and south. Cooperate with the East China Field Army from the inside to wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city and welcome the East China Field Army into the city...¨"
"All troops will launch an attack in ten minutes and go immediately to convey combat orders...¨"
Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. After several years of being a traitor, today I could finally take action. The tens of thousands of puppet army soldiers who had been preparing for the attack showed their true combat effectiveness in front of the Japanese army for the first time.
In less than a few minutes, the entire Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters was surrounded by a large number of puppet troops coming from all directions. Of course, the artillery of various sizes and calibers equipped by the First Division was also pushed to the forefront, blackening itself.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the office building of the Japanese Central China Front headquarters not far away.
"Click, click, click..." The sound of intensive gunfire began to sound in the streets surrounding the headquarters as the attack order was issued.
The reinforced infantry brigade remaining around the headquarters was carefully selected and had the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire Central China Front.
However, in the face of puppet troops several times larger than our own, and in the face of the sudden burst of powerful fighting power of the puppet troops, the entire defense line still retreated again and again. In less than half an hour of fighting and dense bullets, it was easy to defeat them.
Shot into the office building of the Japanese Central China Front Army Headquarters...
Standing in front of the window, looking at the street a few hundred meters away, a group of puppet troops were like wolves and tigers, with no regard for their own lives. After a brief shock, a self-deprecating smile slowly appeared on Matsui's face.
General Shigen's face.
"Tanaka-kun, I really didn't expect that the puppet army, which has always been in front of us with low combat effectiveness, can actually explode with such strong combat effectiveness. It seems that all of us, including the entire empire, have underestimated the determination of the Chinese people to resist the invasion.
.Today, I saw the defeat of the Central China Front Army. Maybe it won’t be long before the defeat of the entire Imperial Army is coming..."
"Your Excellency Commander, maybe we were wrong when we launched this battle. China, the sleeping lion in China, has quietly woken up from our invasion, and we, as the aggressors, are still
Without knowing anything... Commander, we lost..." Lieutenant General Tanaka said with a look of despair...¨-
In the end, with the sound of several crisp gunshots in the headquarters, the commander of the Japanese Central China Front, General Matsui Iwane, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Tanaka, and a large number of generals carrying Venus on their shoulders, faced the complete defeat of the Central China Front and finally drank the bullets.
suicide………………
The Japanese Central China Front Army also became history with the departure of Matsui Iwane...!
