War of Resistance

Chapter 128 Murder

"It means that this Battalion Commander Wu is often kicked in the ass by Hu Tuanchang?" Zheng Man pursed his lips and chuckled.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Zhang Tianhai would never admit to such words that destroy the revolutionary friendship.

Zheng Man's beautiful eyes glanced at Zhang Tianhai, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

……

Huxi, Robiegen Road, 36th Division Headquarters.

Yes, here is the division headquarters of the 36th Division and the military headquarters of the 78th Army. The 78th Army only has one 36th Division under its jurisdiction. Whether it is a division headquarters or an army headquarters, it is actually the same.

"Master, Zhang Junzuo (referring to Zhang Fakui) has an urgent call." The division staff handed over a translated telegram to Song Xilian.

Song Xilian received the telegram expressionlessly, and saw that it read: "Dachang has fallen, and the 26th Division of the enemy may go south to attack your position at any time. Now you must stick to your position and do a good job for the troops to counterattack Dachang. Get ready! Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the right-wing group army, sent a telegram at 28:[-] on October [-], [-]th year of the Republic of China."

After a long time, Song Xilian finally sighed softly, and said: "The order will be passed on, and all troops will speed up the construction of fortifications. There is not much time left for us..."

Song Xilian is not unaware of the current battle situation. Not only is the 36th Division almost unable to hold on, but also the ace units such as the 87th and 88th Divisions. They have been fighting for almost three months, and they are facing an overwhelmingly superior The Japanese army, not the Beiyang army that was evenly matched at the beginning!
Just after Song Xilian gave the order to fight, an unexpected person appeared at the door.

"Mr. Song, oh no, it should be Commander Song. Hello, Commander Song." After seeing Song Xilian, Zheng Man took the initiative to say hello.

And Zhang Tianhai beside him also stood at attention and saluted: "Master seat."

"Reporter Zheng, long time no see. But I miss you so much. Welcome, I welcome you on behalf of all officers and soldiers of the 36th Division." Song Xilian said with a smile on his face, very enthusiastic.

With a very polite smile on Zheng Man's face, he said: "Then I'm flattered, I'm all serving the party and the country, so don't say these things, if you say these things again, I won't dare to come to your place next time gone."

Song Xilian laughed heartily and said: "Haha, let's go. It seems that reporter Zheng is also a straightforward person. The current situation is tight. Our army has suffered defeats in the Shanghai and West battlefields. The Japanese invaders are pressing every step of the way. Let's cut the long story short!"

Zheng Man nodded, and said, "To be honest, besides writing a report when I came to your ministry, I also want to recommend someone to you."

Song Xilian glanced at Zhang Tianhai next to Zheng Man, and said, "Presumably, the person that Reporter Zheng is going to recommend is Battalion Commander Zhang? Battalion Commander Zhang is an officer under my 36th Division, so there is no need to recommend him! Just say what you want!"

After speaking, Song Xilian looked at Zhang Tianhai.

"Mr. Song is indeed a smart man." Zheng Man flattered without any trace, and one must understand the principle of people carrying people in bridal sedan chairs.

"Master, can we take a step to talk?" Zhang Tianhai said with some embarrassment.

Looking at his expression, Song Xilian probably had something hard to say, so she nodded, "Okay, no problem. But it's best to make a long story short."

"Master, please." Zhang Tianhai made a "please" gesture towards the door.

Song Xilian strode out of the division headquarters, followed by Zhang Tianhai.

After seeing that there were no one around him, Zhang Tianhai said: "Master, I dare to ask you, what is the prospect of the Nine Nations Pact Conference?"

Hearing this, Song Xilian's pupils shrank slightly, he stared at Zhang Tianhai, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Master, I'm sorry to speak frankly, the prospect of the Nine Nations Pact meeting may be extremely uncertain. The teacher should call the principal to order the troops to prepare for retreat." Zhang Tianhai said without changing his face, with a firm expression.

Listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, Song Xilian's face was cloudy, and there was even a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.

After a long time, Song Xilian finally spoke up: "Zhang Yulin, if you hadn't been fighting behind me all the time, and also made great achievements in this battle of Songhu, I would really have thought you were a traitor."

Although Song Xilian's words were not many, they were as important as a thousand pounds, and they exploded in Zhang Tianhai's mind like a thunderclap.

Zhang Tianhai's face paled slightly, and he asked, "Why did the master say that?"

Seeing the change on Zhang Tianhai's face, Song Xilian sighed softly: "Forget it, you have been with Decheng for many years, and you are also one of your own. But I don't understand why you are a dignified Whampoa student, why would you make a mistake?" If it is such a low-level mistake?"

"Mistake?" It's not that Zhang Tianhai pretended not to know what happened, but that he really didn't know what mistake he made.

"Yes. You are a very pure soldier, and your political consciousness is too low. Let me ask you, if I sent this telegram to the principal, what would I be like?" Song Xilian asked Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything.

"If you don't want to say it, let me say it for you! The principal will think that we are timid, so let's not talk about whether we will be dismissed. Besides, as a general from the National Guard system, if I send this telegram, What will the officers and soldiers on the front line think and think? Heh, your direct descendants of the Central Army have started to run away, what will those local troops plan to do, do you understand?!" Song Xilian said sharply.

Zhang Tianhai lowered his head slightly, but didn't speak, because he knew what Song Xilian was implying. If the local army ran away, it would really turn into a big defeat in advance...

Immediately afterwards, Song Xilian sneered and said, "Hehe. Maybe you think that I, Song, said that because I was afraid of death. Let me tell you, I, Song Xilian, was also born in Huangpu, and the spirit of Huangpu flows in my blood and has never passed away. It's just a sacrifice, and it must be sacrificed where it is worthwhile. In case the frontline battle situation worsens due to my own words, I, Song, will be the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages!"

The end of becoming a sinner through the ages is very simple, that is to be shot on the spot, even if he is not shot on the spot, his political life is over, and more importantly, he will be reviled by thousands of people.Just like Fang Xianjue later, even if he returned to the national army and was still alive, would his political future still exist?He endured humiliation and suffered a lot of abuse and attacks...

"Then... Teacher, we can't control the overall situation, but our 36th Division should be prepared? Otherwise, if the retreat order is issued in a hurry, our 36th Division will suffer losses that we shouldn't have to suffer..." Zhang Tianhai still It's a bit unwilling, he wants to do something.

"This preparation must be made, but no order can be given. Otherwise, I will go to a military court." Song Xilian looked into the distance with deep eyes.

"What does Yishizuo mean?" Zhang Tianhai asked.

"This news requires me to say hello in private. It must not be an explicit order. After you go back, you can tell Decheng (Hu Jiaji) privately to make him ready to retreat at any time from November [-]rd. Just say it is me It's fine." Song Xilian said softly.

"Yes, teacher seat!" Zhang Tianhai responded, but he was full of admiration for Song Xilian in his heart: He is indeed Lao Jiang's favorite student. He can be so highly valued by Lao Jiang, and he can do this if he entrusts the elite troops under his command to him. rest assured.To be able to sit in this position at such a young age, no matter the level of sophistication in human relations or the sense of politics is not generally strong...
