Unlike the chaos of the Nanjing retreat in history, due to the fierce Japanese offensive during this period, there were not many troops around Nanjing.With an order from the front, the less than 2 troops in the surrounding area retreated to the southwest, some by boat, and some by land.Compared with the chaos, self-mutilation, and all kinds of ugliness during the Nanjing retreat in history, the situation in this time and space is relatively better because of "few people".

From September [-]st, ships gathered on the river at Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, and a large number of ships came from the north bank.The river by the pier is full of boats receiving refugees, and the pier is full of people.Packed tightly.Refugees carrying large and small bags of luggage were blocked in the outer circle, while the powerful and powerful dignitaries cleared the way with bayonets, drove cars, and pulled boxes and boxes of belongings onto warships, cargo ships, and what's more, Even the foreign furniture at home did not forget to take away.

"A group of insects that should all be shot!"

Standing on the top of the high-rise building near Xiaguan Wharf, watching the chaotic and ugly scene here, Pastor Dong Jianwu cursed viciously.The corruption of the Nanjing government cannot be solved by killing Chang Kaishen.This is a rotten garbage regime from the inside to the outside, and it should be ruthlessly swept into the garbage dump of history.

Chen Jitang's troops defending Nanjing have been completely defeated on land. The only luck is that, in terms of the air force, the air supremacy over Nanjing is still in the hands of the Chinese army.Zhang Xueliang in the north transferred all the fighter jets in his hands to protect the sky over Nanjing, and Li Runshi also transferred the air force to the south as much as possible.As for Chen Jitang himself, compared to the collapse of the army, the performance of the air force was very up-to-date.The performance of the original British-made Gladiator fighter jets was slightly higher than that of the Japanese Army Aviation and Hainan Airlines fighter jets of the same period. During this period, the planes of the two sides fought many times over Shanghai Airlines, and the Japanese did not take any advantage.

During the Nanjing retreat, there was a small team of four aircraft conducting combat readiness patrols over the pier at any time.The Japanese planes also temporarily gave up this goal after encountering fighter jets intercepting and suffering heavy losses in bombing Nanjing several times.

During this dangerous period, Dong Jianwu was still in Nanjing, but he came here to organize the evacuation of important targets in the city: the first target of the evacuation given to him by his superiors was the students in the city. Staying here is to organize negligent work in the city, calling on residents not to run to Xiaguan Wharf, but to evacuate Nanjing in the direction of the "Golden Wharf" outside the city.

The "Golden Wharf" was an asset belonging to the famous "Golden Pharmaceutical" company half a year ago: when the factory was built, Huang Ke drew a big pie for Chang Kaishen and told him to build a wharf near the factory, and then These fixed funds for planning the gold pharmaceutical industry can be turned into shares, and then taken to the US market to collect money.

Chang Kaishen certainly understood what was going on when he heard it.

"It smells so good!" was what he felt at that time, and then with a swipe of a pen, a large area of ​​land near the river in the north of the factory, including residential buildings, was directly requisitioned and turned into "government property". The total area exceeded ten square kilometers, and all belonged to gold under the pharmaceutical industry.

Before Guo Rugui was recruited by Chang Kaishen, the "super-staffed" security team he established was trained here.Later, when it was expanded into a brigade, it was also the location of its brigade headquarters and garrison.At that time, according to Huang Ke's request, Guo Rugui surrounded this piece of land belonging to Gold Pharmaceutical's assets with a wall as a demarcation line for security reasons.

From Chang Kaishen's point of view at that time, it was so wonderful and so delicious that Gold Pharmaceuticals would help him raise and train soldiers with money and land!

Then, everyone understands... just like when the state-owned assets of later generations were lost, Huang Ke colluded with DuPont, manipulated the stock price, dug holes in various ways, and all the shares in Chang Kaishen's hands became DuPont. And this piece of land, this pier, became 100% "American property" after April [-]th. It is not a concession in name, but in fact it is no different from a concession.

After Chen Jitang came to power, he didn't have the guts to offend the Americans. He could only watch helplessly as this treasure land of more than ten square kilometers by the Yangtze River existed in a status similar to a concession.In the past few months, the "business" between DuPont and the Communist Party has been handed over through the docks and warehouses here.Tariffs and the like are naturally not related to the Nanjing government. Chen Jitang, who dared not offend Li Runshi, also played a fool on this matter.

The change of land property rights in the Golden Wharf area was actually prepared by Huang Ke for the day of the "Nanjing retreat".After the Japanese army's southward attack started, Huang Ke, who got the news, immediately sent a telegram to the old Du Pont, explaining the pros and cons.

"Mr. Dupont, the time we agreed upon has arrived, and I need your help."

"No problem!"

PS: I wrote the plot of Nanjing last night, but I was very dissatisfied. I deleted it all in the end and restarted it in the afternoon. The next chapter will be updated at about [-] o'clock.

-------------------- Chapter 248 The Japanese Chief Yongren has no soldiers available ------------------ --

Chen Jitang and Li Runshi reached an agreement. After the Red Army in the north took over Nanjing's city defense, two-thirds of the remnant troops in the city, less than [-] people, withdrew within a day, and those who remained were volunteers to defend Nanjing City with the Red Army. Patriotic soldiers.Those who did not want to stay, hurriedly withdrew to Anhui and Jiangxi in the southwest before the Japanese encircled Nanjing City.

The satellite cities around Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Changzhou, fell at an extremely fast speed, and they threw them directly to the Japanese with little resistance.Comparing the battlefield in Pingjin, Tongzhou, Tangjia Village, the Japanese army fell hundreds of corpses every meter they advanced. Foreign journalists who followed the battle here could hardly believe that this was the performance of different armies in the same country.

After the Battle of Pingjin, as the situation in the north gradually became clear, the old Du Pont also saw it: China under the leadership of Li Runshi is very likely to become the next Soviet Union.He is very happy with DuPont and Stalin's business, but wouldn't it be good to do big business with Li Runshi in the future?The good cooperation experience in the past two years tells DuPont that this will be a much better partner than Chang Kaishen.

Huang Ke told DuPont a long time ago that the Japanese are beast troops, and massacres of civilians will occur wherever they fight. Nanjing is very dangerous. If one day it faces the crisis of falling, he needs his help. .

"Nanjing fell, the Japanese launched a massacre, but in this tragedy, I, DuPont, played the role of the savior!"

When receiving the rescue telegram, the old DuPont thought at the time: If the Nanjing Massacre really happened, and my factory area sheltered a large number of refugees.Afterwards, am I going to use my connections to ask the Norwegian for a Nobel Peace Prize? After all, I really saved countless people in this matter!Thinking that he, a death merchant who specializes in producing explosives, will earn countless favors among the Chinese people in the future because of this incident, the shameless death merchant laughed.

According to the previous agreement, the security team of Gold Pharmaceuticals will open the gate and the pier at this time, let the refugees enter, and retreat through the pier.

When Ye Jianying handed over the evacuation plan to Chen Jitang and explained that it was a suggestion from the top Communist Party, Guo Rugui, the famous No. [-] communist spy, had already been at the headquarters of Gold Pharmaceutical for many days.He and the American security personnel of Gold Pharmaceutical had been "old friends" for a long time. DuPont's people were very cooperative and ordered the people below to temporarily hand over the security team to Guo Rugui's command.Not only him, Huang Ke's identity was exposed at the time, and the underground party members who escaped early have now returned, and they have all directly participated in the organization of the civilian retreat here.

Now Guo Rugui is standing openly in the open, commanding the security team and the response personnel from the north to the south, opening the docks, and continuously sending the refugees fleeing from Nanjing to the north.

Compared with the chaos and inefficiency at Xiaguan Wharf, the Golden Wharf area is handled in an orderly manner.

The ships coming from the north brought the Communist reinforcements who went south to support, and when they left to go north, they transported away the fleeing civilians.

Inside the fence, the Red Army wearing gold pharmaceutical security uniforms, holding small red flags, divided the refugees entering the factory into sections and waited to board the ship.Tens of thousands of people gathered at Houchuan Wharf. Apart from the sound of horns to maintain order, the tens of thousands of Houchuan civilians did not make too much noise. Most of them sat in place and waited.

There are boats constantly coming in, and boats are constantly leaving.In Nanjing City, those who wanted to leave very early left early.The one who is leaving now is belatedly aware that Nanjing is really dangerous if it cannot be defended, so I am eager to leave.In addition, there are more refugees who follow the crowd like sheep from the surrounding area and flock to Nanjing indiscriminately.

On September 5000, when Peng Shichuan crossed the Yangtze River and disembarked at Xiaguan Wharf, he also saw the chaotic scene on the wharf.Before crossing the river, Peng Shichuan already knew what happened at the Xiaguan Wharf. That night, 1 Red Army troops who were the first to support Nanjing entered the Nanjing defense zone directly through the Jiangjin Wharf.And more troops crossed the river in the upper reaches.Overnight, more than 2 Red Army troops crossed the river, and on September [-], another [-] people crossed the Yangtze River in the upper reaches of Nanjing and galloped to Nanjing.When these ships returned, they took a large number of refugees from Nanjing.

The work of the Red Army and the Kuomintang switching defenses was carried out at an extremely fast speed.At Peng Shichuan's request, Chen Jitang's troops withdrew from Nanjing City as quickly as possible, and fled westward in panic.The rest of the other miscellaneous troops who voluntarily stayed to resist the Japanese army were directly incorporated, and the rest unarmed and drove away empty-handed-in this matter, facing the big right and wrong of defending the capital, although Chen Jitang lacked "courage", he was able to deal with the big right and wrong. I still understand. |

Before going south, Li Runshi told Peng Shichuan that Nanjing would be a melting pot, a tester for gold, and only those who are willing to come to Nanjing will have the opportunity to become our comrades in the future.

In the city of Nanjing, there are fewer and fewer 'white troops' and more and more red troops.By September [-]nd, there were only a few thousand people left in the "White Army" in the entire city of Nanjing.

After the Red Army completely took over the defense of Nanjing's inner city, the chaos at Xiaguan Wharf completely disappeared that afternoon.

The Red Army directly blocked all street intersections in Nanjing, and vehicles were prohibited from going on the road without permission.At Xiaguan Wharf, those wealthy and high-ranking officials who were carrying large and small bags and wanted to take them on the road were directly kicked out of the car on the spot.

People go, things stay, if you want to be too wordy and don't listen to the command...

"Pound, thump!"

After Deng Fa, who was in charge of guarding and dredging the wharf, personally ordered the shooting of several bad guys like Ma Zai who wanted to take the lead in making trouble, the order at the scene immediately became orderly, and everyone obeyed obediently. Commander, those former senior officials of the Nanjing Nationalist Government were even more trembling.

Deng Fa is a ruthless person.

When Ruijin retreated, he was in charge of this aspect of work.Before coming to Nanjing, Huang Ke specially sent a telegram to the chairman, which said so.

"That person is a mother-in-law. This time is not to please everyone, but to show off his thunderous skills. 502 is his person, so you should remind him of it." (502 is Deng Fa's code name)

"Xiao Huang, this doll!"

Li Runshi shook his head with a smile, but still sent a telegram to Deng Fa.The reason why he didn't send someone who has always had a good relationship with the top KMT leaders in the defense of Nanjing was because he took this factor into consideration.There are too many high-ranking officials in the city of Nanjing, and that person's temper is too shameful and ruthless.

Huang Ke once murmured dissatisfiedly in front of the chairman: "I never relent when I should strike with an iron fist. At most, I am late after the fact. I am too tender and affectionate towards the enemy, and the time is right."

The words were ugly, but Li Runshi understood, and he directly sent the telegram to Deng Fa.

Deng Fa, who came out of the Soviet area, has some problems, but he is different from that person. He is also a member of the Soviet Union. When he was in the Soviet Union, he accepted a lot of Stalin's ideas.In Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia, when dealing with the remnants of the Ma family army, this person, together with Xia Xi and Dai Jiying, added Wang Huzi, but he earned the notoriety of "Four Heroes of the Northwest" there. It took only one year to wipe out the entire Northwest Unstable forces can be ruled submissively.

The people who came out of Ruijin had gone through a long journey, and at the same time, after knowing the tragic situation in the Soviet area, in fact, few people would have a good impression or soft-heartedness towards these senior Kuomintang officials in Nanjing.As long as he is not led astray, Deng Fa actually knows what to do to do his job well.When Li Runshi sent a telegram, Deng Fa knew it, and he knew it well.The anti-revolutionary cadres are actually "good steel and good knives" who dare to do criminal things, but the key is not to use them in the wrong place.

The person who was executed by Deng Fa on the spot was the servant of Zhang Qun, an important member of the Kuomintang.The Red Army, which had already taken control of the pier, unceremoniously unloaded all the guns of the retreating Kuomintang officials and guards, and then he loudly said at the scene:

"Guns are used to fight devils, and deserters who escaped from the battle can only get out of here empty-handed!"

There was applause from all around, and the evacuation work at Xiaguan Wharf soon became faster after an hour.

In the end, Zhang Qun and his family were driven onto the boat empty-handed, and fled Nanjing under the mocking eyes of the crowd.That afternoon, other high-ranking officials of the Nanjing Nationalist Government who had not left Nanjing were also left with him empty-handed.

Seeing their distress, Deng Fa was very disappointed—because he couldn't shoot them all here with his own hands.

"It's all brazen rats!"

In the past when Nanjing was about to be surrounded by Japanese soldiers, there were still many speculators who wanted to stay here for a day or two to "show off". ", led his troops to withdraw from Nanjing, and it turned into a huge panic in an instant.

You know, these bastards in the city, whether it was the April [-]th coup, or the coup between Ning and Han, their hands are all stained with the blood of the Communist Party and the leftists of the Kuomintang.

Chen Jitang's operation, what made these people vomit blood the most was that they did not notify them in advance, but contacted the Red Army privately, and directly invited the Red Army into Jinling - but he couldn't do it without the invitation, because when Ye Jianying and Chen Jitang contacted At that time, in the Yangtze River section in the upper reaches of Nanjing, a large number of Red Army soldiers who had been prepared for a long time were already crossing the south of the Yangtze River.The Kuomintang's small naval fleet on the Yangtze River did not dare to stop it at all during this period.The British, another force on the Yangtze River, also acquiesced at this time.

After the gunshot, there was chaos at the horse's head in Xiaguan.When Deng Fa ordered the killing and announced that the guards of all senior officials who had withdrawn from Nanjing would be shot down, many senior officials were also here.

Under the oppression of the machine guns on the T27 tanks parked at the pier, no one dared to resist. These insects who wanted to leave with big bags were finally driven onto the boat empty-handed, and then drove away like flies. Drive away from Xiaguan.Those who picked up these people were all warships of the Nanjing Nationalist Government.

On the evening of September [-]nd, shortly after Deng Fa killed people at the Xiaguan Wharf, a brief press conference was being held in the Chairman's Mansion in Nanjing.

There are three protagonists: Chen Jitang, Wu Hao, and Peng Shichuan.

Chen Jitang, who didn't want to defend Nanjing to the death, said it after doing it. Here, he announced to a crowded room of Chinese and foreign reporters that they had handed over the work of Nanjing's city defense to the Communist Party in the north from today.

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene.Although since yesterday, the city defenses in various parts of Nanjing City have been replaced by Communist soldiers one after another, there have been various rumors and speculations in the media and folks, but it was not confirmed until now after Chen Jitang made an official announcement.

After Chen Jitang finished speaking, he left the Chairman's Mansion immediately, and fled Nanjing City in a panic. At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese attacking troops was less than a hundred kilometers away from Nanjing City.At this time, the remnants of the Kuomintang army on the front line had all collapsed and fled, and the real line of defense no longer existed. In theory, the Japanese army could rush directly to the city of Nanjing in a car and drive for two or three hours.The only things affecting the speed of the Japanese army's attack now are the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the disgusting cobweb-like rivers, and the communist guerrillas who entered the front line and began to cooperate with the Kuomintang troops to destroy bridges on the third day of the war.

Chen Jitang walked quickly, and Peng Shichuan stood up after he left, stood at the forefront, and instantly replaced Chen Jitang as the new focus of the audience.

Peng Shichuan stood in front of countless Chinese and foreign reporters and began to speak.

"I'm Peng Shichuan!"

"I was ordered by Chairman Li Runshi to lead the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army south to the Yangtze River to defend Nanjing! Now I am the Supreme Commander of Nanjing City Defense."

"I declare that from this moment on, the whole city of Nanjing will be under military control!"

In the next few minutes, Peng Dehuai announced the military management regulations of Nanjing City and the implementation of the "Ten Killing Law" in wartime.Among the Ten Killing Laws, one of the most important ones is also the regulation that makes all the remaining maggots in Nanjing city go crazy: From now on, all personnel who evacuate Nanjing from the wharf, no matter officials or civilians, leave the city. Each person can only carry personal belongings in one suitcase at most.Those who do not obey the retreat command will be killed on the spot by the Red Army responsible for maintaining order at the pier.

After the declaration of martial law, Peng Shichuan accepted questions from reporters on the scene.

An American reporter asked: "Now the Japanese army is attacking Nanjing with all its strength. May I ask General Peng, how many troops do you have to defend Nanjing now?"

Peng Shichuan replied: "100 million, 200 million, until infinity!"

"how can that be?"

All the reporters said it was impossible.

Peng Shichuan replied: "How is this impossible? Before April this year, our Red Army formed a regular army of 100 million and a reserve militia of 100 million in the base areas of the country! It has been nearly four months since the end of the Tongzhou campaign. .In Shanxi, Hebei, Hubei, Sichuan, Suiyuan, where there is a Red Army, all the masses of the people have been mobilized! During these precious four months, we have trained another 100 million reserve militiamen! Nanjing, today is 20, tomorrow is 30, and the day after tomorrow is [-]! As long as the Communist Party is still there, the whole of China is a battlefield, and any place, any time, any invader who enters China will have to endure a steady stream of mobilization The never-ending war waged by the Chinese people."

The British reporter on the side said bitterly: "You are talking empty words, General Peng! The Japanese army is now attacking Nanjing with more than 10 troops, but you only have 2 at most, or even less!"

"No, this is not empty talk. In the defense of Nanjing, our Red Army will fight until the last moment! It will not stop until the final victory is achieved."

Peng Shichuan stared into his eyes, straightened his chest and said.

"The Japanese are actually not as powerful as everyone thinks!"

"In the Battle of Tongzhou in Hebei Province in April, our Workers' and Peasants' Red Army cooperated with the soldiers of the 29th Army and the Jinsui Army, and wiped out a total of [-] Japanese troops there. The commander of the army, Inaba Shiro, was killed by us, and the Japanese army's most elite Fifth Division was also wiped out outside Tongzhou city!"

"At the same time, the April offensive launched by the Soviet Red Army in the north also defeated five divisions of the Japanese army in one fell swoop. And in the offensive operations in July, the Japanese army lost about five divisions in the North China battlefield and the Northeast battlefield. The main force. At this time, in order to support the resistance against Japan in the south of the Yangtze River, the Red Army in the Northeast and North China is launching a third round of offensive against the Japanese army here."

"In the past six months, up to now, the Japanese invaders have lost [-] to [-] divisions of elite troops in China! And how many divisions are there in Japan? Even if their military industry has carried out a general mobilization , The full production in the past six months cannot make up for the lack of weapons caused by the annihilation of the dozen or so divisions on the front line. The biggest evidence is that on the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army is using a large number of German and Italian weapons. Because After successive defeats, there has been an extremely huge gap between Japan's military production and demand."

At this time, Peng Shichuan raised his finger and began to calculate the strength of the Japanese army for the reporters in the audience.He knows the real military production data in Japan like the back of his hand, so naturally he cannot do without Huang Ke's historical spoiler.After Stalin got the pile of data, he easily saw through Japan's weakness, and his attitude of supporting Zhukov in the Northeast to fight the war of attrition and grind Japan to death became more firm.

"In February last year, there were only [-] divisions in Japan. After Yongren came to power, the Japanese started a secret mobilization for a full-scale invasion of China."

"So far, the number of troops mobilized in Japan is between 45 and 50 divisions, and the total strength is about 120 million. But one thing is that Japan's domestic military production capacity is very weak. The 45~ Most of the newly mobilized divisions of the 50 divisions are second-class divisions, and the quality of equipment and soldiers has dropped significantly compared to before."

"After deducting the war losses I mentioned above, in the hands of the Japanese Chief Yongren, there will be no more than [-] divisions that can be normally mobilized across the country!"

"In North China, six divisions of the Japanese army were pinned down by the Red Army in the east of Jidong. In the Northeast, facing the onslaught of the Soviet Red Army, at least fifteen Japanese divisions were pinned down there. Let's do the calculations here today. Attacking Jiangnan, how many divisions of Japanese devils can Yongren mobilize to come to Nanjing?"

"Yongren the Japanese Chief, Chairman Li Runshi wants me to tell you here that he knows very well that in today's Japan, the national mobilization capacity has reached its limit, and there are no more available soldiers in the country!

"The Japanese army with a maximum value of no more than ten divisions is the last bet in your hand! The so-called [-] beast army that is rushing towards Nanjing in a murderous manner is actually just your last madness! If you lose here again , you will no longer have any mobile forces in China."

"The Japanese army currently in the Chinese battlefield is all formed after the initial seventeen divisions were dismantled and expanded! In just one and a half years, the Japanese army has expanded by two to three times, from the quality of officers to soldiers. All have seriously declined. After four to seven months of fighting, the newly formed divisions, both in terms of weapon performance and individual combat effectiveness, have experienced an even more serious decline. In the past six months, the Northeast and North China battlefields have experienced consecutive battles. Failed, you got nothing in China, you didn’t grab anything! Half a year later, how much foreign exchange reserves are left in Japan? Not long ago, the Soviet Air Force launched a surprise attack in the Northeast, killing all the dozens of planes you just imported from Italy at one time. Blowing up at the airport, isn’t it painful now? Only half a year after the start of the war, you have to spend precious foreign exchange to import rifles and aircraft from Italy and Germany, and import explosives from the United States. This year, the national income of Japan will not exceed 180 billion Yen, but in the past six months of war, your military expenditure must have exceeded 50 billion yen! Japan’s finances are about to go bankrupt, right? Is the gold stock in the national treasury running out? Tokyo has recently happened again Did you make a commotion?"

"Yongren, Chairman Li asked me to tell you here, how many soldiers are available, feel free to throw them all to Nanjing! North China is a quagmire, and Nanjing is also a hell for the Japanese! In the Sino-Japanese War 42 years ago, Japan stepped on The old and decadent Manchu Qing rose up, and 42 years later, in Nanjing, North China, Northeast China, wherever the Red Army fought, the young New China will be reborn on the corpses of the Japanese invaders! And the Nanjing battlefield will be reborn It will become another steelmaking furnace for the rebirth of the Chinese nation!"

Ask for a monthly pass.

注:资料:历史上到1938年底日本投入中国战场的兵力共计31个师团、24个独立混成旅团和3个独立守备队,占其全部陆军总兵力的70%以上而其本土只保留了两个正规师团。而到了1941年12月7日太平洋战争爆发时,关东军73万人,中国派遣军62万人,共计135万人。其实上当时日本入侵中国的兵力并不多,实在是常凯申等军阀太过无能了。

In the book, the Japanese army began to mobilize in 1936. In September 1937, it was able to mobilize fifty divisions. In fact, I counted 45.

In fact, Japan's national strength is very poor and weak. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was entirely because the Chang Kaishen regime was too incompetent to act recklessly in China.From September 1938th to 1938, from Zhang Xueliang to Chang Kaishen and even Yan Xishan, when they met the Japanese army, they gave them all kinds of gifts, giving them heads, experience, equipment, and weapon production lines, so that the Japanese could use war to support the war and fight more and more. .In real history, until [-], because the Japanese army expanded too fast and lacked front-line weapons, the troops trained in the rear even confiscated a large number of training guns.

Here in the book, the Japanese army was bloodletted by "two" Red Army in turns in the Northeast and North China, and more than [-]% of the troops were pinned there, and those who could be used in the Jiangnan battlefield were actually quite limited.The Japanese army, unable to support the war with battle, was already quite weak after being bled continuously.

历史上在1937年,日本的直接军费为32.78亿日元,占当年日本全国民收入186亿日元的17.6%。书里这里,日军损失远比同期巨大,军费消耗肯定远远超过了50亿。
