The duty staff officer of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters received a call from the pier, saying that the small steamer had been driven away. He was immediately shocked, briefly inquired about some information, and immediately went to report to Tang Wuneng.
When Tang Wuneng learned that the small steamer he had left at Xiaguan Pier and used to escape had been snatched away, he couldn't help but became furious and immediately asked: "Who has such courage to do such a thing?"
The staff officer on duty said cautiously: "When I got back to the commander, it was Li Yunsheng, the colonel and section chief of the Secret Service. He led people into the dock and said that he was carrying out the order of the garrison headquarters and no ships were allowed to stay in Nanjing, so he forcibly drove the ship away.
.”
After Tang Wuneng heard this, he immediately cursed: "Is Wang Dahai a loser? He actually allowed Li Yunsheng to drive the boat away. Why didn't he stop him?"
The staff officer on duty said more carefully: "Adjutant Wang has been shot dead by Li Yunsheng on the spot, so no one dares to stop him."
Hearing that Wang Dahai had been killed, Tang Wuneng was furious and immediately shouted: "Chief of Staff Zhou, take people to the dock immediately and capture Li Yunsheng for me. A small colonel dares to kill my adjutant."
, it’s so courageous.”
Zhou Aishi, the chief of staff in the headquarters, said quickly: "Don't worry, commander, I'll be there right away." After saying that, he immediately left the headquarters and headed to the dock with some troops.
The staff officer on duty wanted to say something, but looking at the furious Tang Wuneng, he could only remain silent.
Less than an hour later, Zhou returned in fear of death, and said helplessly to Tang Wuneng: "Commander, when I arrived at the dock, the boy had already escaped by boat, and only Wang Dahai's body was left on the spot."
Tang Wuneng glared and said bitterly: "He dared to run. I want to see where he can go and immediately send a telegram to the Military Commission to arrest Li Yunsheng on the grounds of desertion."
Zhou Pingsui glanced at Tang Wuneng, and then sighed and said: "Commander, we can't pursue this matter at all. Even if we report the matter to the Military Commission, it will be useless."
Tang Wuneng asked differently: "Why is it that he, a small colonel, dares to openly disobey my orders? Am I still unable to deal with him?"
Zhou feared death and said softly: "The Secret Service has the right to supervise the military and police constitution, and we have publicly issued military orders before. In order to fight the Japanese army in a desperate way, no ships are allowed to stay in Nanjing. It was in this name that Li Yunsheng left.
Small steamer."
When Tang Wuneng heard this, he felt as if he had eaten a fly. He did not expect that the military order he issued would be used by others, and he had no way to do it.
However, Tang Wuneng was also an old fox in the official circles of the Republic of China, and he was very skilled in intrigues. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea, so he said: "He drove away the small steamer. It can be said that he was executing military orders, but he did not have orders and killed people without authorization."
Army Lieutenant Colonel Wang Dahai, this crime is not light, he sent a telegram to the Military Commission asking them to arrest Li Yunsheng on this charge."
Zhou feared death and said with a wry smile: "Commander, this crime is not true. When the people from the Secret Service stepped forward to drive away the small steamer, Wang Dahai stepped forward to stop him. Li Yunsheng accused Li Yunsheng of hiding the steamer and openly disobeying military orders. He was arrested on the spot.
Wang Dahai will be shot. After all, people from the Secret Service have the right to enforce wartime regulations, and there is nothing we can do about it."
Tang Weneng walked back and forth in the headquarters angrily, but he couldn't think of any solution, so he had to say unwillingly: "Is it possible that I, an army general and the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, can't do anything to a small colonel?"
Zhou was afraid of death and said helplessly: "Commander, if Li Yunsheng had not left at that time, but stayed in Nanjing, we would have been able to deal with it. We could have charged him with any crime and executed him on the spot. But now that he has left Nanjing, we are beyond our reach."
, and the Secret Service is not only the direct descendant of the leader, but also the knife in the leader's hand. Their people are not easy to touch, and Dai Chunfeng of the Secret Service is not someone to be trifled with."
Tang Wuneng said bitterly: "Then let's put this matter aside for now, and we will settle the accounts with him later. Every little colonel dared to confront me, and even took advantage of the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and openly killed my adjutant."
, if I don’t deal with him, who will take me seriously in the future.”
Zhou feared death and said immediately: "The commander is right. We will settle accounts with him in the future. Now the small steamer we left behind has been driven away by that daring little thief. Nanjing is surrounded by water on three sides, and the Japanese army is outflanking it from the southeast.
Come here, if you want to leave, you can only cross the Yangtze River by boat. The top priority now is to find a boat that can leave."
Tang Wuneng thought for a moment, and then said in agreement: "You are right. Too many of Nanjing's outer positions have been lost. The Japanese army will soon besiege the city. The current situation is very dangerous, so we must find a way to leave."
Zhou was afraid of death and said irritably: "But our ship has been driven away by that little thief, what should we do?"
Tang Wuneng said confidently: "Don't worry, we are not the only ones keeping backup in Nanjing. Several senior officers have secretly kept ships."
Zhou was afraid of death, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The commander means that we will seize their ships."
Tang Wuneng nodded, and then said softly: "That's right, you can take people there in person. Once you find the ship, no matter whose it is, collect it immediately."
Zhou was afraid of death and hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully: "Commander, the ships left behind are used by some senior officers to save their lives. I'm afraid they won't let me confiscate them easily."
Tang Weneng glared and said fiercely: "This is wartime. No matter who dares to disobey military orders, they can be punished on the spot." Then he said calmly: "Let's also learn from Li Yunsheng, kill him first and then punish him."
Zhou was afraid of death and said: "But those who dare to keep the ship privately are direct descendants of senior officers and leaders. They all have soldiers and horses at hand, so things will not be easy to handle."
Tang Wuneng also frowned, then thought for a while, and said confidently: "It's okay, I will hold a high-level military meeting later and call all the senior officers to the headquarters. This will make it easier for you. Could it be that ordinary officers,
Do you still dare to stop you, the chief of staff?"
Zhou was afraid of death and immediately said: "Commander, this move of yours is really good."
Tang Wuneng said with emotion: "I have no choice but to offend these people if it is not a life and death situation. After all, they are all powerful figures. But the current situation is critical and I can no longer care about it. I can only focus on saving my life."
.”
Zhou was afraid of death and said immediately: "Commander, don't worry, I will investigate carefully and try to choose a person with the lowest status to attack. However, your meeting here needs to be held for a while, so that I will have more time."
Tang Wuneng said calmly: "You act boldly and confidently. You have a lot of time. The leader has previously issued an order to evacuate Nanjing when things cannot be done. Now it is time to announce this decision and study the retreat plan."
Zhou was relieved because he was afraid of death, and then the two of them discussed it again and went their separate ways.
While Tang Wuneng and Zhou Weishi were studying countermeasures, the news that Li Yunsheng shot Wang Dahai and drove away the small steamer also spread among senior officers in Nanjing.
Most of the senior officers were gloating over this matter. After all, several of Tang Wuneng's military orders were obviously unreasonable. Coupled with his improper command, the outer positions of Nanjing City were destroyed within two or three days.
The Japanese army conquered it, so many people were dissatisfied with him.
However, such a small colonel, Li Yunsheng, dared to rub Tang's incompetent tiger's beard, which surprised these senior officers. After all, no matter how powerful the Secret Service was, the status of the two was too disparate.
Even Li Yunsheng's instructor, Hao Jinyuan, was quite surprised by this and asked Wang Zhengdao, the commander of the 11th Division: "Master, Yunsheng publicly slapped Tang Wuneng this time, how do you think he will react?"
Wang Zhengdao said with a smile: "What kind of reaction can I have? I can only endure this tone first. After all, you are not a student for free. Although what you do is surprising, everything is justified. In addition,
The Secret Service has the power to supervise the military and police constitution, they enforce wartime discipline, and no one can say anything."
Hao Jinyuan sighed and said: "But Yun Sheng openly shot Wang Dahai. This move is really too much."
Wang Zhengdao said happily: "I think Li Yunsheng did a good job this time. If Tang Wuneng, a bastard, had not wanted to defend Nanjing and his command was not good, how would the brothers have faced such a bad situation."
The Nanjing defense battle commanded by Tang Weneng was a complete mess, which made many senior generals dissatisfied. Wang Zhengdao was one of them. So when he heard that Li Yunsheng shot Wang Dahai and took away the small steamer that Tang Weneng used to escape, he was naturally very angry.
Happy.
Seeing Wang Zhengdao so happy, Hao Jinyuan said helplessly: "But Tang Wuneng is an army general after all. If Yun Sheng does this, he will not let it go. He will inevitably cause trouble in the future."
Wang Zhengdao glanced at Hao Jinyuan, and then said softly: "Why, you are worried about your students, and you are afraid that Tang Wuneng will find an opportunity to retaliate."
Hao Jinyuan nodded and said simply: "Yes, Tang Wuneng is not a big-hearted person. If Yunsheng was a big shot, maybe he would tolerate this tone, but the status gap between the two is so big, he will definitely look for opportunities in the future
revenge."
Wang Zhengdao said calmly: "You don't have to worry about it, that student of yours is not a simple person. Just look at how he shot Wang Dahai. Everything was carefully planned and no one could catch him at all.
And he immediately evacuated Nanjing, leaving Tang Wuneng with no choice."
Hao Jinyuan nodded in agreement, but there was still a worried look on his face. Seeing this, Wang Zhengdao continued to speak: "Even if Tang Wuneng wants to take revenge in the future, he may not have a chance. Commander Chen will stand in the way.
If he is playing dirty tricks, I'm afraid he will ask for trouble. Don't forget what your student does. Conspiracy and conspiracy are your student's strengths."
