War of Resistance

Chapter 1068 Wuhan Garrison Command (55, please subscribe)

The arena was quiet. Although the light was a warm yellow light, it looked so cold to everyone—no matter how hard they tried, they still had to admit the cruel fact that the national army was retreating steadily.

This fact is cruel, but it is also indisputable, because this is the fucking reality!
The strength gap between the national army and the Japanese army was too great. The national army fought desperately, but it was very difficult to win after all, and the victories were few and far between.

But there is no way, the nation has reached the moment of peril, all escape routes have been cut off, and the only thing left is to fight to the end.

"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then I announce that from now on, the whole city of Wuhan will enter a state of preparation for war. Comrade Luo Zhuoying will serve as the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison. The candidates for the Garrison Command will be determined by Chief Chen Cheng. Strong support should be given! The meeting is adjourned!" After speaking, Chiang Kai-shek stood up, looking at his slightly obvious dark circles, it was obvious that he had not slept well.

No wonder, in the middle of the night, an emergency meeting was held suddenly, and it would be a ghost if he could sleep well.

"Yes! Sir!!" More than a dozen senior military officers present immediately stood at attention and saluted. The generals present also included Lieutenant General Luo Zhuoying, the commander-in-chief of the No.19 Army, who will soon be the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison.

"Everyone, after the commissioners leave, everyone stay a little longer, let's discuss the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command." Chen Cheng said.

Everyone nodded, because Chairman Jiang was here, everyone was very respectful.

Yes, for these senior generals, they are in important positions, and some of them are friends with Minister He, and they may not be able to see Chen Cheng's style, so Chen Cheng has to say at this critical moment This sentence——otherwise, it would be all kinds of busy work to wait until these people left and then try to summon them.

For Chen Cheng, his prestige is not enough to reach the level of He Yingqin, Minister He, the No. [-] figure in the Whampoa family, and he has a bad relationship with Minister He. If Chairman Jiang did not think highly of him, many people would probably have little contact with him .

Chiang Kai-shek left quickly, and everyone watched Chiang Kai-shek leave before returning to the conference room.

According to the usual practice, Minister He should not be sitting in this position, but now he happened to be sitting next to Chen Cheng.

"Mr. Chen, if you have anything to say to everyone, just say it directly! We are all colleagues, so there is no need to stick to etiquette." Seeing Chen Cheng fidgeting, He Yingqin said that he himself did not want to stay here. But I don't want Chen Cheng to hold everything in his hands, after all, when this guy eats miscellaneous troops, he looks too ugly.

"Thank you, Minister He." Chen Cheng looked at He Yingqin and smiled, with a hint of a half-hearted smile.

In fact, Chen Cheng couldn't be blamed for having this expression, after all, from his point of view, a Minister He who is not here is a qualified Minister He.

"Dear colleagues, I want to stay with you at this time, and I also want to chat with you. No matter how much I, Chen Cheng, have offended me in the past, but now Wuhan is already a big enemy. I hope that everyone can unite sincerely and fight against the Japanese invaders. The importance of Wuhan, believe me, all the officers will understand without mentioning it. Here, Chen Cheng is begging everyone!" After speaking, Chen Cheng stood up and bowed to everyone.

The meeting ended quickly, and what most people couldn't understand was why did Chen Cheng bow?He can obviously rely on Chairman Jiang's favor, and then establish a Wuhan Garrison Command centered on the Civil Engineering Department.

As soon as Luo Zhuoying was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Wuhan Garrison, everyone knew that the Wuhan Garrison Command was implemented around his will, Chen Cheng.

Who doesn't know that Luo Zhuoying is the number one general in the civil engineering department?He is also the person Chen Cheng trusts the most.

Thus ended the evening's senior officers' meeting.

However, after the meeting ended, neither Chen Cheng nor Luo Zhuoying left immediately, but called their core staff and held a short meeting.

This short meeting was held for the establishment of the Wuhan Garrison Command, and it was this meeting that decided most of the staff of the Wuhan Garrison Command.

"You Qing (Luo Zhuoying's name), congratulations, you have successfully assumed the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Wuhan Garrison." After closing the door, the people below were all his own people, and Chen Cheng's attitude was not as stiff as before.

"What's there to congratulate, Luo Zhuoying always assists Chen Cixiu and Chief Chen wherever he is." Luo Zhuoying is not proud either, because he also knows that it is Chen Cheng who fought for him to get to this position.

Sure enough, Chen Cheng just smiled after hearing this, and then said: "You Qing, the Wuhan Garrison Command has just been established, and it is a time when everything is waiting to be done. Whether it is laws and regulations, or department construction, or troops participating in garrison operations , but it’s all the most important thing.”

"This, the humble staff naturally knows." Luo Zhuoying nodded, "Department construction can be delayed a step, but the troops must come first. Otherwise, the battle in Wuhan will be very difficult to fight."

"Tell me, in our ninth war zone, which unit do you have your eyes on? Except for the units of Xue Yue's corps, which cannot be transferred, other units can still be considered." Chen Cheng smiled and said, he also knew that Xue Yue was the only one at this time. He had just won a big victory, and he was already very powerful, and the troops had already suffered heavy losses. If he wanted people from him again, Xue Yue might sue the chairman, but the key was that Chen Cheng didn't respond.

"This humble officer knows, first of all, the first guard regiment and the second guard regiment in the theater! These two regiments are the benchmarks of our ninth theater. It is necessary to ask them to come over in advance to participate in the defense of the city. , and then we need two more divisions!" Luo Zhuoying said.

"Two teachers?" Chen Cheng frowned slightly.

"Yes, two divisions are enough, at least we can sustain Wuhan for another week." Luo Zhuoying nodded and said.

"It seems that you don't believe that Wuhan can hold on..." Chen Cheng smiled wryly.

"Sir, they are all our own people, so don't pretend, you must also know that Wuhan cannot be defended." Luo Zhuoying had a smile on his face, and he knew Mr. Chen Cheng very well.

"I know I can't hide it from you." Chen Cheng laughed, and then he frowned again: "You Qing, you don't know now, there are no troops on the periphery of Wuhan now, and the main force of our ninth war zone has already It has been over-used on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. To be honest, you want two divisions of troops, and I don't know where to find them for you."

"Sir, can you tell me, why did you have to fight the battle of Wuhan?" Luo Zhuoying was puzzled by Chen Cheng's actions, and wanted to fight a battle that he knew he would lose.

"Actually, these are all the chairman's intentions. Wuhan can be lost, but it must be burned, but Wuhan can't be thrown to Little Japan without a single shot. That's why there is this garrison headquarters." Chen Cheng said with a smile on his face. With a little bitterness, indeed, this matter made him a little embarrassed.
