Lost and Spy

Chapter 446 Defend the Capital
Meng Shaoyuan parked his car and went to a nearby noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles.

Now it's time for breakfast, those who like to drink morning wine will often invite one or two friends to order a few toppings in this noodle restaurant.

A small dish of pickled vegetables, a small dish of shredded bamboo shoots, a small dish of vegetarian three delicacies, a small dish of dried shredded louver, a bottle of wine, and a bowl of noodles for each person.

Not much money.

There is something more particular about eating noodles.

Before drinking, pour some white wine into the noodles.In this way, the noodles will not be rotten.

There are many people who eat breakfast and drink morning wine.

The war between China and Japan was discussed everywhere in the noodle shop, each of them made up their noses and eyes, as if everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

Someone actually mentioned "Pan Tianhu" there.

Who, who is "Pan Tianhu"?

When a bowl of noodles came, Meng Shaoyuan poured toppings into the noodles, a little curious.

The table next door spoke happily, which also attracted other customers in the store:
"... that Senshou Zhan is also the No. [-] figure, the chief disciple of the Yanagawa Issou-style in Japan, and Japan Invincible. After arriving in China, he has never met an opponent...

Qianshou came to Shanghai and was domineering, which annoyed Pan Tianhu... The city wall is more than three feet high, and Pan Tianhu climbed up with a swallow and three copies of water...

When Qian Shou Zhan saw the corpses of his eight major disciples on the ground, he was angry from the heart, and the evil turned to the guts, and he said that he would fight Pan Tianhu one-on-one...

Pan Tianhu, who is that?The number one killer in Shanghai, the king of killers, when he heard it, he threw away the two shell guns in his hand, and with a backhand, he drew out a golden machete..."

Isn't this silly X?
Meng Shaoyuan laughed, this stupid Pan Tianhu doesn't need a good shell gun, but he insists on playing with other people, it doesn't mean that there is water in his head, what is it?
But the more people talked about it, the more lively it became: "Thousand hands cut a corpse, and it was almost unrecognizable by a golden-backed machete. Pan Tianhu sneered, 'swish, swish', and disappeared immediately." disappeared..."

"Lao Li, what is the origin of this Thousand Hands Cut? And that Tianhu, who is it?"

"Thousand-handed cut is terrible, a son of a Japanese family, his surname is Chimu, and his name is Qinzhi... Who is Pan Tianhu? I don't have the ability to know, I only know that his surname is Meng..."

That stupid disk...huh?

Kiss Akagi?Pan Tianhu's surname is Meng?

Doesn't that mean your Young Master Meng?
I rely on?

I scolded myself.

this happened...

How Akagi Omi died has not yet been solved, and the Chinese and Japanese sides tacitly kept silent.

But in folklore, the death of Akagi Osamu has been linked with some kind of "Pan Tianhu".

In most folklore, there is always a hero in it, no matter what happens, just put it on the head of this great hero, regardless of whether it has anything to do with him or not.

Fortunately, the story was a mistake, and it was Meng Shaoyuan who really killed Akagi Osama.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Meng Shaoyuan got up and left the noodle shop.

At the door of the store, the old beggar was there again.

No one knows the name of the old beggar, only that he has been begging here for more than ten years.

Come by day and leave by night.

No one knows where he lives.

There is a broken bowl in front of him. If you are willing, throw down two. If you are unwilling, he will never ask you for it.

Sitting there all day without saying a word.

Some said he was dumb, some said he was stupid.

Whenever Meng Shaoyuan was free, he would come here to eat noodles every morning. Ever since he saw the old beggar eating a bowl of noodles, he would always give him some money.

Sometimes, the shop assistants would fill the old beggar's broken bowl with a bowl of noodles.

Meng Shaoyuan touched it, and there was no change in his pocket today, so he called inside: "Dude."

"Master, you ordered me to give old Huazi something to eat?"

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Get him a bowl of noodles, by the way, add a piece of meat, if you want fat, here is ten yuan, put it in your account, and count it together in the future."

"Okay, sir, I'll go right away." The clerk took the old beggar's broken bowl and went back to the shop.

The old beggar who was sitting there stupidly kowtowed three times to Meng Shaoyuan suddenly.

So I can understand the words...

……

"Director Meng."

"Go ahead."

"On the 15th, the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army captured Kunshan, and on the 16th, Wujiang fell. On the 18th, the Japanese army concentrated three divisions and launched a fierce attack on Suzhou. The [-] defenders inside and outside Suzhou were defeated in the direction of Wuxi."

"Wuxi can't keep it anymore."

Meng Shaoyuan frowned: "Order, I am the Taihu guerrilla team, responsible for gathering and responding to the remnants. I will also operate in the depths of Taihu Lake. Once Japan occupies Wuxi, the guerrillas will launch raids and harassment operations in Wuxi, Suzhou, Changshu and other places."

"clear."

"Also, generate electricity for He Ruyi. If his students are trained, they will be transferred to Shanghai as soon as possible."

"clear."

"Also. Tell the people in Nanjing to cover and evacuate in batches according to the previously established plan. Lurkers must ensure their own safety and must not confront the Japanese head-on."

"Understood." Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment: "Director Meng, Nanjing, will you lose it?"

"I'll lose it."

"I don't think it's that serious, right? In Nanjing, there are two disciples of the emperor, Gu Zhenglun and Gui Yongqing, a gendarmerie, and a central education corps. They are all elites, and they are assisted by Luo Zhuoying, who fought in the Luodian defense battle." , plus the famous general Tang Shengzhi in charge of the overall situation, in my opinion, Nanjing is not so easy to lose."

"Famous general as fart." When Meng Shaoyuan heard the name "Tang Shengzhi", his face became uneasy: "Nanjing is dead, the Japanese army can use the navy to blockade the river with artillery bombardment, and can attack Wuhu in a detour, cutting off the rear communication line, and then The navy and army are attacking Nanjing three-dimensionally. How can Nanjing be defended? How can it be defended?
Tang Shengzhi swears, saying that Nanjing must be defended, and that Nanjing can be defended, and that Nanjing can be defended by sending a commander and a few divisions. Is this not farting?Millions of troops failed to hold Shanghai, how many divisions can hold Nanjing? "

Director Meng was so angry that Wu Jingyi didn't expect it: "I listened to the feedback from Nanjing. The chairman seems to appreciate Tang Shengzhi very much, and he is also determined to stick to Nanjing?"

"Do you think the chairman can really trust that Nanjing can hold on?"

"Then this is..."

Meng Shaoyuan lowered his voice: "Tang Shengzhi said that Nanjing can be defended for at least the first half of the year, but the chairman said at the Military Commission that he would stick to Nanjing for one to two months. This shows that one to two months is already the limit in the chairman's mind. He knows very well that Nanjing cannot be defended at all. But why do we still have to defend it? That is our capital.

Nanjing has a very important position in the minds of the Chinese people, and it has a great influence on international audio-visual. If Nanjing is easily abandoned, it will hinder international viewing, and it will also have a great blow to the confidence and morale of the Chinese people who will win the war of resistance.Liu Fei, our chief of operations, said well that after the decisive battle in Shanghai, our army will no longer be able to conduct another decisive battle in a short period of time. Nanjing must be defended, but it can only be a symbolic defense.After doing proper resistance, take the initiative to retreat, not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a pool. 12 regiments, at most 18 regiments can defend Nanjing. "

At the same time, the troops should be reorganized and repaired in the rear, and then look for fighters, and then fight the Japanese pirates.

Unfortunately, Liu Fei's battle proposition was not adopted.

The chairman knows that Nanjing cannot be defended, but he must.

Although Tang Shengzhi was the main drafter of the outlines for the defense of Nanjing and his qualifications are very old, but if he is to be alone and defend Nanjing to the death, the chairman of the committee still misjudged the person.

"If Nanjing falls, it will definitely be bloody." Meng Shaoyuan said there in a daze: "Assistant Wu, tell our people that those who can evacuate should evacuate and preserve their vitality."

Wu Jingyi really didn't understand why Director Meng was so pessimistic about the defense of Nanjing. In her impression, Director Meng had always been a very optimistic person.

Those tasks that seemed impossible to complete were all accomplished by him inconceivably.

Although Shanghai is lost, in Nanjing, famous generals gather together, so why can't they create another miracle?
This can’t be blamed on Wu Jingyi. At that time, the thinking of most people in the country was like this. They saw with their own eyes that the soldiers of the national army fought in Shanghai for more than three months to defend the capital.
What they didn't see was that the Battle of Songhu wounded and maimed all the Chinese troops, and that the retreat was in chaos and there was no organizational system.

The most important thing to do now is not to defend the capital, but to withdraw to the rear as soon as possible, replenish the source of troops, rest the troops, and try to fight again.

However, this is not something I can interfere with. If my little director publicly says that Nanjing cannot be defended, at least it will be treated as nonsense, and at the worst, I am afraid that he will be accused of sabotaging the War of Resistance and shaken. Military hat.

Forget it, let's save this little life and continue to fight the Japanese to the end.

"Get ready for the car, I'm going out." Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless.

"Okay, I'll send the pony over."

"Little Ma? Where's Du Changshui?"

"asked for leave."

Wu Jingyi immediately said: "Today is Du Changshui's old mother's 60th birthday. Du Changshui is a filial son, so he asked me for a day off, and I agreed."

"That's it." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care too much: "Have you given me a gift for the old man yet?"

This is also Meng Shaoyuan's habit. Whoever has a wedding or funeral at home, he will always ask Wu Jingyi to send him a heart, whether it is to take care of his subordinates, or to win people's hearts, it is beneficial to do so. One harm.

"Sent, in your name."

"That's it." Meng Shaoyuan asked casually again: "Have your husband and children been to Hong Kong?"

"According to the time, it should not be here yet." As soon as she mentioned her husband and children, Wu Jingyi showed some smiles on her face: "Director Meng, I really want to thank you for evacuating my husband and children from Shanghai. Wait until the victory of the War of Resistance ..."

"It's early." Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly: "The War of Resistance has just begun. How could we expect the day of victory? You and I, let's talk about it after we survive."

Survive first, this is the most basic requirement.
