Chapter 531 Acting Commander-in-Chief?
Chairman Jiang from Wuhan is in the middle of the headquarters
Chairman Jiang was holding the telegram and looking at the guard who was delivering the letter in disbelief, saying: You are sure that this news was sent back from Tongcheng, right?
It's no wonder Chairman Jiang was so disobedient. The content on the telegram was too horrible. This was a telegram sent by Gao Shan to the government to confuse the Japanese spies. The purpose was to lure the Japanese intelligence personnel into a trap and carry out a large-scale attack on Tongcheng.
The reason why Wang Mingyu asked Gao Shan to send such a telegram was that he knew that the Japanese spies had already penetrated into the top management of the National Government. This news might be hidden for a short while, but it would never take half a day. In other words, a similar news would appear on the table of the Japanese headquarters.
Although the Japanese army could not know the original telegram content, at least they would know that if they could be sure that the dragons in Tongcheng had no heads, it would be enough.
The guard whispered to Chairman Jiang: I have called back to confirm this news. I heard that Commander-in-Chief Wang Mingyu is currently unknown and the doctor is in urgent rescue.
These little Japanese are so arrogant. I didn't expect that they had just assassinated a lieutenant general in our country. Now they are really tolerant of attacking my students. Chairman Jiang's extraordinary anger. In fact, Wang Mingyu's life and death are now the thing he cares about the most
If Wang Mingyu was born, then everything would be fine. Tongcheng would definitely be stable. At least in a short period of time, Tongcheng would not have a headless situation. This would not be a mess. It would also be able to effectively resist the Japanese army, but I was afraid that Wang Mingyu would die. Once Wang Mingyu dies, then there would be more things to do next.
What to do if Wang Mingyu dies, Tongcheng will basically not be able to protect it. At this time, the Japanese army will be able to open the gap in the entire Eastern Front. At that time, the defense of the entire Northern Front will be solid. It will be useless. Could it be that if Tongcheng, which has been in such a long time, has given up because of Wang Mingyu's death?
If Wang Mingyu lives and dies, the entire Wuhan Battle will fall into a very passive situation. The whole Tongcheng is now the hub of the Wuhan Battle. I didn’t expect that such a situation would happen at this time. It really made me unexpected. Chairman Jiang’s brow was deeply locked. Obviously, he was extremely worried about this matter.
Chairman Jiang's concerns are definitely more than that. Once Wang Mingyu lives and dies, the control of the entire 318th Army will become another headache for Chairman Jiang. If he can smile at other troops, Chairman Jiang can still smile, then Chairman Jiang is determined to win. Of course, the premise is that Wang Mingyu has already killed Shengren, otherwise Chairman Jiang will not be able to interfere.
Chairman Jiang also knew that even if the 318th Army was in his hands, he might not be able to exert such a strong combat power. Chairman Jiang knew the treatment of the 318th Army. To be honest, there was no second treatment in China. If Chairman Jiang took back the military power, the treatment would probably have to become the past. It is conceivable that the difficulty of truly subduing these people is to be conceived.
Of course, if the problem can be solved with money, Chairman Jiang won’t be so troublesome. These people are probably rebellious and they are likely to avenge Wang Mingyu, and their combat power can do this at this time. Chairman Jiang may not be so simple if he wants to win people’s hearts.
Of course, the 318th Army is of great significance to Chairman Jiang. If Wang Mingyu really dies, although Chairman Jiang feels very sad, he also feels relaxed in his heart. This feeling of worrying about gains and losses is the reason why Chairman Jiang is very depressed now.
Wang Mingyu is not dead, so he is an important bargaining chip against the Japanese army. If Chairman Jiang can control it, it must be Chairman Jiang's sharp knife with him. The blade is aimed at, and Wang Mingyu and his 318th Army have added too much political capital to Chairman Jiang. This is why Chairman Jiang is unwilling to die.
But the problem is that Chairman Jiang now feels that he can't control Wang Mingyu at all. Why is he an official? It's just for promotion and money. Wang Mingyu never has so much desire for promotion. He is now the commander-in-chief of the lieutenant general. It's a foregone conclusion that money is like a number for him.
Under such circumstances, Chairman Jiang was confused. He didn't care much about money and power. How could such a person win over the friendship between teachers and students is simply nonsense, and it was just a nominal teacher-student relationship. Chairman Jiang felt that if Wang Mingyu really died, it would not have solved a problem in his mind.
Of course, politicians will not have feelings. They only care about their interests. However, Wang Mingyu will lose interests for Chairman Jiang regardless of life or death. This has to worry Chairman Jiang. Now is the most critical moment of the Wuhan Battle. If Tongcheng can be defended, it can bring great contributions and political capital to Chairman Jiang.
This is also the reason why Chairman Jiang lost his composure after hearing this news. Wait until the end of the Wuhan Battle. If Wang Mingyu was assassinated, Chairman Jiang might not be so entangled. Now, it is the most critical moment of the Wuhan Battle. Nearly 100,000 Japanese troops gathered in the eastern front. Once Tongcheng is lost, you don’t have to think about the consequences.
After Tongcheng fell, Chairman Jiang could not expect Li Zongren's army in the Fifth War Zone to resist the destruction of 100,000 Japanese troops. The delay in the attack was only short. The final result was a collapse. The Battle of Wuhan ended in failure. Of course, Chairman Jiang also knew that he could say that the Battle of Wuhan was of great significance.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that Chairman Jiang said he wanted to live and die with Nanjing, but finally he left the city and ran away. Now he once again shouted the slogan of living and die with Wuhan. If he ran away from the city and went to Chongqing this time, wouldn’t it become a joke? Although politicians are shameless, they cannot be shameless.
Chairman Jiang said to the guards: Immediately ask about Tongcheng's current situation. In addition, I will temporarily transfer someone to take over Tongcheng's command, so that they must obey their command.
Chairman Jiang thought very well. He just temporarily transferred someone to command. If Wang Mingyu really died, then this person would take over the command directly. But if Wang Mingyu did not die, then he would just give up the command. There should be no accident at this time.
In Chairman Jiang's understanding, if the 318th Army is not in the hands of Wang Mingyu, it must be in his hands. At this time, whoever mobilizes it will become another very difficult question. The commander-in-chief of the Army is usually a lieutenant general or a general, and these people usually have some close connections.
If you gain control of the 318th Army, then you will undoubtedly be the person whose value doubles, you must be Chairman Jiang's confidant. There must be no mistakes at this time. Chairman Jiang has to carefully consider this candidate.
Now that the Tongcheng group has no leader, Chairman Jiang is thinking about seizing power at this time, but there is another point in order to stabilize the morale of the army. This person must be able to fight and be able to suppress the situation. Chairman Jiang's eyes are flowing and he is thinking hard about such a choice.
Who can be the candidate? Chairman Jiang also thought secretly, and the guards on the side did not dare to interrupt. This kind of thing was not something he could decide, or it was not something he could interfere with.
Chairman Du Yuming and Chairman Jiang murmured, but Chairman Jiang thought about it and shook his head. Du Yuming is now a major general, and he still cannot suppress the scene. It is obviously inappropriate for the commander of the army to suppress others with a major general.
Chairman Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up. His most proud student Hu Zongnan was about to resign from his position as commander of the First Army, and his level was also appropriate. At this time, he was transferred to be the commander-in-chief of the 318th Army. He might be able to suppress the situation.
As Chairman Jiang's confidant, Hu Zongnan naturally would not be suspicious of Chairman Jiang. At this time, Chairman Jiang could think that he obviously trusted this proud disciple Hu Zongnan probably didn't know that his order was coming so soon.
Although Hu Zongnan was very satisfied with the First Army, the battle in Wuhan was in full swing at this moment. Chairman Jiang also wanted to transfer him to the Wuhan battlefield. The best place to accumulate military merits at this time is naturally the 318th Army.
Now this is the opportunity. Chairman Jiang thought that as long as Hu Zongnan adheres to Wang Mingyu's tactical ideas, it is unlikely that the Japanese army would want to attack Tongcheng in a short period of time. This process is the moment to establish prestige for Hu Zongnan.
Even if Wang Mingyu is not dead by then, Hu Zongnan has accumulated military merits and will never delay anything. If Wang Mingyu really dies, the 318th Army will be in the hands of Hu Zongnan, which is equivalent to being in the hands of Chairman Jiang. It is down-to-earth. Chairman Jiang not only thought of this word, this time, no matter what, he would not make any mistakes.
But Chairman Jiang never expected that Wang Mingyu sent him this telegram just to confuse the Japanese army. Chairman Jiang was still thinking about his plan. Hu Zongnan also received a telegram from Chairman Jiang an hour later.
