Chapter 67: The Burning Ruins (9)
. "At this moment, I dared to draw a conclusion. The Japanese had already buried multiple bombing spots in various places in the city. When the time was ripe, they would turn Manila into ashes!" Cheng Jiaji told Wang Jimin and Qin Dongsheng to reveal the crisis in front of him: "From the night of the Japanese army has suffered enough of our preparations, but they still did not stop the suicide attack, we can see that the Central Plains will take action tonight! Otherwise, why would he have to numb us!"
The extremely shocking whirlwind instantly swept the hearts of two powerful figures who were urgently summoned!
"Junzu, the battlefield meteorological report transferred from the Allied Command shows that after midnight today, there will be a level 6 strong wind inside and outside Manila!" After all, it was the youth who was old and Wang Jimin's thinking was still in chaos. Qin Dongsheng has grasped the key to things. Since ancient times to the present, wind has been the biggest reliance on fire attacks.
"10:7:00 p.m.!" Qian Shen, who looked down at his watch, emphasized coldly;.
Wang Jimin, who had also entered the situation, analyzed with a bitter face: "There are about 40,000 troops in the city. It's okay to say that the 15,000 people in the north of the city, have been damaged and collapsed more than half of the houses there in the repeated competition for many days. The reduction of ignition materials and the expansion of the open space can greatly restrict the fire. The more than 20,000 people in the central area are not the case. The houses in that area have a good intact rate of more than 90%, and most of them are high-rise buildings with very small spacing. When they burn, there is no place to hide!"
Cheng Jiaji's heart suddenly sank when he heard this. No wonder he was so powerful when he entered the central area. It was just that he was deliberately letting go!
Of course, this is not a good time to regret.
"That means that we have to withdraw more than 20,000 people from the central area within more than an hour!" That being said, Cheng Jiaji may not be able to achieve this goal, but at this point, he is only able to do his best!
Among the four people in the field, three were staff officers, and they were the old staff of staff. Although it was unusual to withdraw troops in front of the formation, the three of them were not ordinary. In just two or three minutes, an emergency evacuation plan was drafted. The urgent chapters were so compatible, but the situation was urgent, so the details had to be controlled by the captains at all levels and acted on the camera.
Cheng Jiaji snatched the plan of Moji and looked at it one by one: "Each division in the North City can take all means to push down the houses in the flattened area, so as to clear out multiple safe passages for the troops withdrawing from the central area; except for the troops defending the front-line positions, all infantry in the central area withdraw in batches and routes; more than 100 local tanks and tanks are placed on the two-line positions. If the Japanese army rushed over and stormed them, they will be responsible for cooperating with the front-line to repel the Japanese army. He urgently transferred 200 personnel carriers from outside the city to quickly connect the broken infantry."
Cheng Jiaji, who could not see the problem with this combat plan, only added one: "I will order all departments to withdraw. When retreating, all heavy weapons that are not equipped with mechanical traction vehicles will be discarded. Infantry must also be completely light-fitted, and each soldier can only have twenty bullets and one gun." When he was about to come, Cheng Jiaji, who was used to poverty, would sacrifice his life and money, added an additional sentence: "Let me explain it clearly below. As long as you violate this order, not only will you be demoted, but you will also implement the Revolutionary Army Company Law!"
Qian Shen and Qin Dongsheng didn't have much to hear, but Wang Jimin changed his color.
Before the first Eastern Expedition, the Supreme Authority personally formulated the law of the revolutionary army in charge of the local revolutionary army, but the essence was only two words to punish the company. If one person violated the military rules, his superiors and subordinates would be punished equally. For example, if a platoon leader escaped at the last minute, his subordinates and his subordinates would be shot together. Because this law of connecting the former Qin Dynasty was too strict, the troops could not bear it for a long time. As early as the Second Northern Expedition, the Central Army had been implemented intermittently. In the past two years, although the law of the company had not been explicitly abolished, it had been in name only. Instead, it was a relatively relaxed system of accountability for the commander.
Since Wang Jimin arrived at the Forty-Eighth Army, he has heard and witnessed how Cheng Jiaji has treated his subordinates with gratitude and control his army with kindness. He never thought that Cheng Jiaji could be so strict for a irrelevant little thing.
The plan has been decided, and Cheng Jiaji sent an urgent telegram to General Doug and the commanders of several US troops in Manila City in the tone of reports and reminders. As for whether they will adopt it and whether they can keep up with the action, it is not something he can control.piaotian Novels Network
The orders of the collective were quickly transmitted to the battalions, companies, platoons, and squadrons and brigades of the Japanese Peace Army through the commonly equipped walkie-jet phones.
At 10:50 p.m., the first batch of evacuees from the Forty-Eighth Army left the position.
It is hard to say that the army was departing from the departing. The abnormal movements of the Chinese army were soon discovered by Japanese scouts hidden in the Chinese-controlled area. However, the Japanese army's contact methods were a little more primitive. When this news reached the new headquarters of the Central Plains Quyi, the hour hand was almost at 11:30 p.m.
"Is there any movement for the Americans?" Zhongyuan, who was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, asked quickly. After receiving a negative answer, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.
"Official Commander, the wind is coming. If you send troops to take the initiative, you will have time to leave a part of the Chinese army and the Hojo rebels!" Front military intelligence officer Colonel Tanaka came to Nakabara and whispered.
"Tanaka, I can understand your mood. But I hope you don't bring your personal emotions to military affairs!" Nakabara pointed this, no matter how deep Colonel Tanaka hated the 48th Army, who had forced him to apologize, could not incite the fire.
Nakahara took a look at Tanaka, who seemed to be much more honest, then he ordered the new adjutant behind him (the former adjutant of Nakahara died when he broke through yesterday): "Koizumi! Go and tell Major General Nomura and let him attack south after the fire starts!"
The anger in Tanaka's eyes burned even more. Major General Nomura was responsible for the north side of the central area. The transfer of this force at the Nakabara means giving up the original plan to attack the 48th Army!
In fact, Zhongyuan dreamed that Cheng Jiaji, an old friend, was with him, but the severity of the matter was not determined by him. The primary goal of burning Manila was the US military, and it would be better if he could bring the 48th Army into it. If it could not be, it would be harmless. If it was put before the horse and made a mess, it would be too unprofitable for the Japanese army to set up their own success or failure!
"Tanaka-kun! Americans may react at any time. Don't wait for the wind to rise, you should act immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and calmed down.
"Yes!" Tanaka bowed to Nakabara and then pressed the detonation button directly.
As soon as Tanaka turned around, Nakahara took out his gun that he had never used several times.
After playing for a few times, Zhongyuangu pointed his muzzle at his temple.
"Lieutenant General!" Koizumi Nakasa, who came back from outside, flew up and kicked him with his right foot before he thought about it.
In desperation, Koizumi couldn't count the number of feet. His right foot was kicking off the southern pistol in Zhongyuan's hand and his left foot was still in danger. He kicked Zhongyuan's left cheek a large piece of purple.
This unexpected result scared Koizumi and knelt in front of Zhongyuan.
Putting aside Koizumi's awe of the Central Plains, it is unheard of for subordinates to fight against superiors in the Japanese army with strict hierarchy. Moreover, the gap between Central Plains and him is far from being able to understand by using several levels of military ranks.
"Koizumi! Get up!" He was furious at the Central Plains but comforted the perpetrator like nothing happened: "I have never liked fire since I was a child, and I was afraid of pain and dared to have a caesarean section. Then I thought of using a gun. As a result, it made you sour. OK! Then I will recognize this life that I was burned to death."
Koizumi refused to get up, so Zhongyuan had to give up. Maybe it was because she was lonely for too long. Next, Zhongyuan talked to herself and started to idle: "There is still some time! Then I will tell you a story! It was late in the 12th year of Showa. My teacher, Lieutenant General Ando, oh! At that time, he was a major general, wearing casual clothes to visit the city of Peking, which was occupied by the imperial army. At the place where the Chinese emperor worshiped the sky, we met a group of long gowns and jackets and glasses, shaking his head and shaking his head.
The Chinese people. At first we didn't care, but they themselves argued. The sound was quite loud, which made us who could speak Chinese without even listening!" As they spoke, the voice of the Central Plains immersed in memory became vague and dazed: "We listened for a long time before we understood that these Chinese people actually agreed to the rule of our Japanese. What they argued was that Japan could rule China because of the virtue in the five virtue cycle theory in the Confucian classics they believed in!"
"Your Excellency! The strength of Japan depends on the unity and hard work of all the people, the emperor's wisdom, and the bloody battles of soldiers have nothing to do with the virtues of the Chinese!" Koizumi was indignant and funny when she heard it. The indignation was indignant that these Chinese people stole the merits of the above three. The indignation was laughing at the world that there were people who made excuses for conquering foreign races and enslaving their compatriots for no reason!
"Koizumi must think that those Chinese people are all crazy people, right?" Nakabara asked with a smile.
Before he knew it, Koizumi, who had straightened his waist, nodded wildly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Zhongyuan smiled again: "At that time, Teacher Anteng and I thought so, so we walked away!" Here, Zhongyuan turned 180 degrees: "But the fact is, we were wrong! And it was a big mistake!"
Koizumi looked at his direct commander incredibly.
"If time could go back, I would respectfully worship the leader of the group of madmen as my teacher, learn Confucianism from him, and organize them all, and advocate that the Japanese rule of China is in accordance with the laws of heaven, no matter which virtue they say that Japan's rise depends on the success of virtue!" Zhongyuan was very excited and happily raised his hands and shouted: "Confucianism after the Tang Dynasty was the product of self-castration of the Han people, and Confucian scholars were the most powerful allied army of any foreign race who wanted to occupy China. Kublai Khan just put forward a respect for Confucius and valued Confucian scholars.
The empty airs were destroyed. In front of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry that swept half the world, the Southern Song Dynasty could still be established for sixty or seventy years. The Manchus relied on the simple and continuous support of Confucian scholars to rule hundreds of millions of Han people safely for more than 300 years with a weak nation of less than one million people! When our Japanese army was in a prosperous state, it might be worse than Mongolia, but it was definitely no less than the Qing Dynasty! I only hate that the entire Japanese were only focusing on the powerful warlords in China at that time. No one paid attention to winning over Confucian scholars!”
I don’t know whether it was because of the madness of the Central Plains or because Japan missed this great opportunity, but Koizumi was shocked to death.
Before Zhongyuan could let go, the fire that soared into the sky was reflected on the window of the room where he was!
