Li Zongren glanced at the generals present, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone recommends Liang Feiyu as the commander of the garrison, so you should trust his ability and not interfere with his command. The only criterion for the war in Nanjing is the order of the garrison headquarters."

Liang Xiao was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to be the first to support him with three points: Li Zongren from the Guangxi clan was the one who asked for it. Leaving aside the differences in factions, the words of Chief Li are truly serving the country and the people. Others are either harboring evil intentions or He has his own little plan.

"Seat, I think what General Liang said is reasonable."

Chen Cheng said.

The committee member's face was slightly ugly, Liang Xiao was his most trusted student, but it made him a little embarrassed to step down here.

"Principal, the Garrison Headquarters is only responsible to you, and the students will resolutely carry out your orders."

Liang Xiao said loudly.

The committee member's face suddenly became much better, and the others were very surprised. They all thought that Liang Xiao was challenging the committee member, but they never thought that he made a big detour to tell the generals present.

"Since the Military and Political Council has unanimously agreed to let you be the garrison commander, the war in Nanjing is up to you to decide. Neither I nor anyone in the Military and Political Council will intervene in the war without permission."

Appointment Road.

Chapter 53 new official takes office

The Xu Yuanquan Department of the Second Army was originally stationed in Hubei. Its troops consisted of more than 2 people. They were all equipped with medium and formal equipment, and had no heavy weapons or artillery.

No.60 Sixth Army Ye Zhao is a Cantonese general and a subordinate of Yu Hanmou. The 66th Army under his command has two reorganized divisions, with about 2 guns: there are various types of equipment, including Japanese equipment, Chinese formal equipment, and others. French equipment, the 66th Army has a mountain artillery battalion and a mortar battalion, which can be regarded as the trump card army in the local army.

Liang Xiao's first order after taking office was to show his cards to the division-level generals of the Nanjing Garrison. During the battle, everyone must obey his orders unconditionally. Failure to comply with the order of resistance will delay the opportunity of the war and will be severely punished.

Garrison headquarters, meeting room.

All the generals at the divisional level were present, and after a rough scan, there were as many as 40 to [-] people.

Of course, these people also include Xiao Shanling, commander of the Nanjing Gendarmerie, who has four 44 Gendarmerie under his jurisdiction, as well as the Nanjing Police Corps, which has more than 7000 people, and its captain Wen Qiang, etc...

All will gather in the meeting room.

Liang Xiao was wearing a general's overcoat, and was sitting on the command chair. Behind him was a very large military map, which clearly marked the streets and alleys of Nanjing City and the outlying positions.

"Liang knows that many of you are not convinced. They think that Liang has low qualifications and won a few battles, and he is on top of you. It is not surprising to have this kind of thinking. Liang will not make things difficult for you because of this, but Everyone has come to the garrison headquarters. From this moment on, you are all under my control. I will put my ugly words in front of you. Who dares to disobey my military orders? My bullets have no eyes. Don’t think that you are hiding under your own command. Ministry, there are guards outside to protect me, so I have nothing to do with you, I hope you remember that I am a spy, if I can’t keep it, I will put a spy in your army..."

As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, there are three fires. When Liang Xiao takes office, there is only one sentence. He must obey his orders unconditionally.

Especially when he said that there are special agents in the troops, the generals present here are shocked. They all know that Liang Xiao is an out-and-out special agent. Before the war of resistance, he and Dai Yunong could share half of the intelligence , it can be seen that his methods are by no means ordinary.

Liang Xiao's words played a deterrent effect, especially for the generals of the non-central army, the military intelligence department's infiltration of the local troops can be said to be infiltrated, and if they are not guaranteed, there are people around them who are the spies of the military intelligence department. Get up, so as not to annoy Liang Xiao.

"Mr. Liang, today's meeting is a military meeting, not your meeting to raise power. We are not Ma Su, and you are not Zhuge Liang."

Hu Zongnan said in a strange way.

Liang Xiao glanced at him, and said coldly: "Hu Zongnan, stand up and speak."

Hu Zongnan was surprised: "Did you take the wrong medicine? You are a lieutenant general, and I am also a lieutenant general. Why should I stand up and speak?"

"Come here, set him up for me."

Liang Xiao slammed the table hard and shouted loudly.

The guards guarding outside the meeting room immediately opened the door and came in. Under Chen Hua's leadership, they pushed Hu Zongnan up from his chair.

"Liang Feiyu, is there something wrong with you?"

Hu Zongnan's face changed with anger, he was the commander of the First Army Lieutenant General, but he was picked up from his chair by the guards sent by Liang Xiao.

"During the battle, everyone here must address me as Commander Liang. Similarly, I will address everyone's current position. If anyone thinks that their official position is higher than mine, they can call me by my first name."

Liang Xiao sneered.

"The sheet music is quite big, and those who didn't know it thought it was the headmaster."

Hu Zongnan sneered.

"In view of Commander Hu's disrespect towards Liang, Commander Hu is not required to participate in this battle meeting. Moreover, your First Army will no longer belong to the Garrison Command."

Liang Xiao would not tolerate someone who disagreed with him during command operations. Hu Zongnan was narrow-minded, and he was very unbalanced when he was promoted to the commander of the Nanjing Garrison this time.

"Commander Hu, Commander Liang, we are all colleagues from the Whampoa Military Academy, so why make it so unpleasant."

Song Xilian came out to smooth things over.

"I said that everyone must obey me unconditionally. If you feel that you can't do it, please leave here. If Liang sends guards to drive you away, there will be no place to put your face."

Liang Xiao looked at it and said.

"Commander, Commander Hu is in a bad mood these days, don't take it for granted."

Song Xilian hastily tugged on Hu Zongnan's sleeve, motioning him to take a step back.

Hu Zongnan had no choice but to hold back his breath, and said, "Yes, Commander, we will resolutely obey your orders."

"For the sake of your sincerity, you should stand at this meeting."

Liang Xiao didn't really plan to kick Hu Zongnan out of the game, after all, the committee also valued Hu Zongnan very much.

"First, the gendarmerie and police force immediately cooperate with the local government to evacuate the people in the city. Within a week, all the people must evacuate the city, and when they evacuate, they must take away all the food, cloth and other materials in the city. , I want Nanjing City to not leave any civilian goods.”

Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Commander Liang, isn't one week too short? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing City. Even if the gates of the city are kept open day and night, these 10 people will not be able to evacuate in a short time."

Gendarmerie Commander Xiao Lingshan said.

"Commander Xiao, if you don't evacuate all the people out of the city within the time limit, you and Captain Wen of the Police Corps will bear this responsibility together."

Liang Xiao said mercilessly.

"Yes."

Xiao Lingshan and Wen Qiang immediately lowered their faces, with sad brows on their faces.

"Secondly, according to my estimate, the Japanese army will send troops to the west after a delay of about half a month at most. Therefore, the defense of Nanjing City must be completed within a week. After returning, all military division commanders should immediately count the actual establishment of each department. At this time tomorrow, I want to see the real formation of each army, and no false reports are allowed, because it is related to the combat deployment below, if someone's army goes wrong at that time, don't blame the ruthless military law."

Liang Xiao said coldly.

"Thirdly, the troops should hurry up to replenish the ammunition. No matter what is missing, just report it. Of course, you all know what I am doing. If anyone dares to take advantage of the Mexican army's salary and resell military supplies, the bullets will not have eyes."

When Liang Xiao said this, he glared at Sun Yuanliang fiercely, meaning...he was warning him, don't let his mind go wrong.

Sun Yuanliang was terrified when he was watched by Liang Xiao. The last time he did something on the Songhu battlefield, the handle is still in Liang Xiao's hands, how could he have the guts to continue to embezzle.

Liang Xiao arranged one thing after another, waved off the meeting, and asked them to act immediately.

After the meeting.

He began to think about the Nanjing city defense plan.

According to the failure of the Nanjing Defense War in history, his plan gradually matured from the embryonic form.

A rigorous battle plan appeared in his mind.

This plan requires the cooperation of a pawn he buried in order to play a huge role.

"Chen Hua."

Liang Xiao finalized the battle plan in his mind, and immediately called Chen Hua to order: "Send a report to the special warfare division. The first special warfare brigade will stay in Hangzhou Bay, and the second, second and third special warfare brigades will go to Nanjing immediately. All the combat staff officers and confidential officers of the division headquarters were transferred here, and I made it easy."

"Yes."

Chen Hua nodded slightly, and went to do it immediately.

"By the way, send a confidential telegram to Yu Likui, asking him to send the first detachment of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army to Dayu Mountain to garrison. Dayu Mountain is our base, and there must be a garrison to prevent the rout of soldiers and bandits during the war. Go wild in Dayu Mountain."

Liang Xiao said.

"Humble job understands."

Chen Hua hurried down to send a telegram.

a few hours later.

A telegram from the attendant's office regarding the expansion of the Special Operations Division into the No.20 Sixth Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

For this expansion, one does not give......... people, two does not give guns, and three does not give funding, only an empty shell number.

However, this is already very good for Liang Xiao. There are more than 3 special warfare divisions, and they don't need troops, guns, or funds.

No.20 The Sixth Army is composed of Type A Army, which has two divisions under its jurisdiction, two brigades under its division, and two regiments under its brigade, and so on.

After Liang Xiao thought about it, he sent the expanded telegram from the attendant's room to the Hangzhou Special Warfare Division Headquarters, and asked Zhou Shiji to read the telegram on his behalf.

稍后,他拟电一封,特战师二2旅扩编为26军117师,齐鸣任少将师长,特战师三旅扩编为26军118师,常振国任少将师长,特战师一旅升级为特战师,其编制独立于26军之外,由他亲自兼任师长,副师长孙炳兼参谋长.

如此一来,特战师的番号仍保留下来,26军的框架也搭了起来,虽然117师和118师加起来也才2万人枪:,但就现在的国军部队来说,26军丝毫不比第一军,No.18军等王牌军差.

Moreover, he intends to merge all heavy firepower such as heavy artillery units, mountain artillery units, and armored units into the 26th Army. The special warfare division only retains a mortar battalion and a mountain artillery battalion. After all, the special warfare division is used for surprise attacks. Firepower is a burden to them.

The military headquarters of the 26th Army is located in the Garrison Command, and the two agencies are combined to work, and there is no conflict.

A message was sent from the garrison headquarters, and orders were sent out from here.

Because of his order, the city of Nanjing was completely in chaos. The streets were full of people with their families. They took valuables and drove oxen and carts to leave the city. Although some people were unwilling to leave, they were forced by the police. Driven away, he could only leave the capital where he had lived for many years with tears in his eyes.

This is the case with wars. It is always ordinary people who suffer. Wherever the flames of war burn, there will be a piece of scorched earth.

In order for history not to repeat itself, Liang Xiao had to drive hundreds of thousands of people in the city out of Nanjing before the Japanese army attacked, even if he was infamous for this, he would not hesitate to do so.

Chapter 54 Attract the Snake?catch a turtle in a urn

the next day.

All the troops under the garrison reported their actual establishment. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Liang Xiao was taken aback by the real figures he saw.

第一军一万8000人,No.18军一万7000人,No.70八军九千300人,9,3,No.70一军八千400人,8,4.......中央军嫡系部队除了........胡宗南和罗卓英的部队建制还算完整,其余部队的人员编制简直惨不忍睹,像王敬久的71军,顶着一个整编军的番号,实际只有8000多人,连一个整编师的兵力都不到.

This can't be blamed on them, the main reason is that the troops had just retreated from the Songhu battlefield, and before they had time to replenish their troops, they were assigned to the Garrison Headquarters by the Military and Political Council, under Liang Xiao's restraint.

He made some statistics and found that the number of all troops combined is only 13. If you add his 26th Army, Special Operations Division, Loyalty National Salvation Army, and the Eighth Army of the National Army stationed in Hangzhou Bay, teach The strength of brigades and other troops is only 3.

With only 26 troops, it is not enough to defend the coastline around Hangzhou Bay and the outskirts of Nanjing. The troops of the direct line were thrown down.

Liang Xiao immediately drew up a battle plan according to the reported establishment by each unit, and submitted it to the committee for approval.

The commissioner was busy with the relocation, hurriedly scanned his battle plan, and agreed to implement it.

For the sake of confidentiality... Liang Xiao didn't let anyone see the battle plan, even Chen Hua, who was always by his side, didn't know the specific battle plan.

This is due to his nature, he is cautious, and will not reveal any flaws or loopholes. After all, this battle plan is related to the survival of the nation, and he cannot be careless.

He put the battle plan in the safe, marked it, then gave some orders, changed into plain clothes, and took Chen Hua and several guards to the street.

The streets are full of people fleeing in a hurry, the old people are crying, the children are crying, the world is so sad.

"Master, it's such a mess now, if there is nothing necessary, we'd better go back."

Chen Hua was worried that the streets would be too chaotic and accidents would happen.

"I have to meet a person, this person is related to the outcome of this war."

Liang Xiao said lightly.

Chen Hua glanced at him in surprise. If it wasn't for Liang Xiao who never spoke big words, she would have thought it was nonsense. After all, there are many factors in the outcome of a war, and it is impossible for one person to change the outcome of a war. burden.

"The city is too chaotic, there are only a few of us, if there is an accident, the humble job will be the responsibility of death."

Chen Huadao.

"Follow me closely, don't worry about what's ahead, don't worry about what's behind, now that it's in such a mess, who will notice us, even if someone notices, wouldn't he still dare to assassinate us in broad daylight?"

Liang Xiao said lightly.

"Yes."

Chen Hua sighed lightly, and hurriedly followed Liang Xiao's pace.

The streets were full of fleeing people, even the rickshaws that used to flock there were gone, so Liang Xiao and his party could only rush to their destination on foot.

A hidden manor.

Liang Xiao led Chen Hua and plainclothes guards in through the back door.

He met Shuichi Iwai in the hall of the manor. During this time, the spy team he led sent a lot of true and false information to the Japanese base camp. All the information sent to the Japanese army base camp was approved by the military intelligence zone.

"Your Excellency the General."

Iwai Shuichi bowed and saluted.
