October 7, 1938, 11 p.m.
A house somewhere in Guangzhou.
Yu Hanmou, commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army, secretly summoned Zhang Da, commander of the 62nd Army, Zhang Ruigui, commander of the 63rd Army, and Li Zhenwu, commander of the 65th Army, to discuss military affairs.
Because the negotiations were conducted in secret, the number of guards in the entire mansion was not large, only more than 30 people, but all of them were battle-hardened soldiers.
Anyone who entered this mansion was aware that the entire mansion was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou said in a deep voice: "The reason why we secretly called everyone over today is because we already have a definite news, that is, the Japanese army is about to attack Guangzhou in the near future."
The Japanese army attacked Canton In an instant, everyone was shocked when they heard it "Commander-in-Chief, is this news accurate?"
Li Da, the commander of the 62nd Army, almost exclaimed.
During this period, most of the officers of the Nationalist Army were also in agreement with the high-level officials of the Nationalist government, and they all believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to launch an attack on Guangzhou at the risk of offending the European and American powers in the short term.
This idea is mainstream "Hmm" At that moment, Yu Hanmou nodded heavily.
For a time, the three commanders of the 62nd, 63rd, and 65th armies immediately knew the seriousness of the situation.
Since the 64th Army and the 66th Army, as well as two other brigades, totaling more than 70,000 people, went to the Wuhan battlefield, the entire Guangdong defense force was less than 100,000 people, and the troops were extremely scattered "I'm afraid I'm going to lose this battle."
Li Da thought in his heart, this is also the idea of many people.
Yu Hanmou secretly convened a military meeting this time because he was deeply afraid that the news would leak out, especially since the headquarters of the group army still had Major General Guo Huairen and Major General Li Guang, two high-ranking spies of the Japanese army.
Yu Hanmou has completely grasped the evidence of the two of them, and the reason why he did not immediately take down the two fangs is that he is afraid of startling the snake.
Whether to kill or not to kill these two people is small, but defending Guangzhou is big Yu Hanmou continued: "Ouyang, the commander of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, once mentioned to me that Daya Bay was the place where the Japanese army landed. ” "The landing site of the Japanese army is undoubtedly Daya Bay" According to historical records, on the eve of the Japanese army's attack on Guangzhou, the 12th Group Army had already received information about the Japanese army's attack on Guangzhou, and at the same time accurately judged that the landing site of the Japanese army was Daya Bay.
But even so, in the end, the 12th Army only sent one battalion of more than 400 troops to guard Daya Bay.
This is an astonishing scene, which is extremely incredible Because Yu Hanmou was severely reprimanded by Chairman Chiang after presenting the entire defense plan to Chairman Chiang, he believed that it was an irrelevant matter that the Japanese army never landed in the area around Daya Bay.
Chairman Chiang judged that it was absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to take the risk of offending the European and American powers and capture the whole of Guangzhou, and its main strategic attempt was to cut off the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway and occupy the Humen fortress.
Chairman Chiang also concluded: "The Japanese troops landing from Daya Bay must have been a feint attack by a small force, but it was just a small fight, and you don't need to pay attention to it."
In the end, it turned out that Chairman Chiang underestimated the courage of the Japanese army and underestimated the appetite of the Japanese army The Japanese troops who landed at Daya Bay were not small forces, but two divisions of more than 40,000 people, and the Japanese army's attempt was only to cut off the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway and occupy the Humen Fortress, they wanted to swallow the whole of Guangdong in one gulp "Commander-in-chief, we have changed the operational deployment of Guangdong without authorization, and if Shangfeng investigates it, this matter is not a joke."
Zhang Da, commander of the 62nd Army, said.
Zhang Ruigui, commander of the 63rd Army, also echoed: "Commander-in-chief, in my opinion, it is most appropriate to ask the chairman for instructions on this matter."
I would like to ask the chairman Yes, Chairman Chiang is a mountain that weighs on everyone's hearts Without the order of his Jiang someone, who would dare to change the operational deployment without authorization Not to mention Yu Hanmou, even the chairman's favorite generals Cheng Qian, Hu Zongnan, and Xue Yue will definitely not be able to escape the fate of losing their heads.
"Huh" Suddenly, Yu Hanmou smiled bitterly.
What kind of person is Chairman Jiang and what kind of temperament is there How could he not be clear about Yu Hanmou If these were not clear, how could Yu Hanmou be in the high position of commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army If you ask for instructions, you will definitely not be able to pass it, and you will have to be scolded.
The scolding is small, but Guangdong is big How could he watch his hometown fall to the enemy in his own hands "Hmph" Yu Hanmou snorted coldly, and said: "This time, for the sake of more than 30 million people in Guangdong, I, Yu someone, will come to the first cut and then play, and afterwards, Chairman Jiang, if you want my head, I will give it with both hands."
"In a word, Guangdong can't be lost in our hands, otherwise I will die, and I won't be blind" Suddenly, Li Da and the other three powerful military commanders were shocked.
Yu Hanmou's words can be described as loud and heroic couldn't help but Li Da and others, in awe.
The three of them stood up in unison and expressed their positions one after another.
"Commander-in-chief, you are not afraid, what else do I Li Da have to worry about?"
"Count me in, commander-in-chief, you can give the order directly, go to the soup and fight the fire, and do not hesitate" Zhang Ruigui, who was formerly of the Northeast Army, also shouted: "The head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, the Northeast has been lost, this Guangzhou can no longer be lost in my hands, all the officers and soldiers of my 63rd Army are at the mercy of the commander-in-chief."
Everyone's face reveals a perseverance that will not regret dying.
Millions of soldiers of the national army can still throw their heads and spill their blood, but our generals are not afraid of losing their heads If a soldier can't defend his territory against the enemy, what kind of bullshit soldier is he "Smack" Immediately, Yu Hanmou took the case and said heroically: "Okay, our officers and soldiers are of the same heart, not afraid of honor and disgrace, how can we be afraid of the Japanese invaders, this time our 12th Group Army, just and the little devil fight" Ten years of drinking ice, the blood is not cold.
"Now I order that the 63rd Army immediately go to the area around the source of the river."
"Yes, guaranteed to get the job done" "The 65th Army immediately went to Dongguan to defend the Pearl River Estuary and prevent the little devils from jumping over the wall" "Yes, Commander-in-Chief" "The 62nd Army immediately went to Tamsui to aid Daya Bay, and we must not let the little devils easily set foot on our Guangdong land" "Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, as long as there is still one person in our 62nd Army, it will never retreat half a step back, and vow to fight the Japanese invaders to the end."
After the order was announced, whether it was the commander-in-chief Yu Hanmou, or the three army commanders Li Da, Zhang Ruigui, and Li Zhenqiu, they were all full of blood at the moment I can't wait to fight on the battlefield now, and fight to the death with the little devils Yu Hanmou's eyes were burning, still breathing fire, and he said firmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if we don't succeed in this battle, we will become benevolent, and swear to live and die with Guangzhou" The 100,000 soldiers who have not worked hard and the more than 30 million Guangdong people who do not serve as slaves to the country have this as a support, even if all our soldiers are killed, they can still smile at Jiuquan The first update was sent, and the author continued to open the code t1706231537:
