After giving the order to Zhang Tianhai, Tang Shengzhi took a deep look at Zheng Man, and then winked at Zhang Tianhai. Could Zhang Tianhai still not understand what Chief Tang Shengzhi meant? This was asking him to protect this man.

The rich lady...

After completing this action, Tang Shengzhi walked into the office and continued to command the large forces to fight. He had already sent the 154th Division to block the enemies coming from the China Gate. As for the 154th Division's attack on the Japanese army,

How long it can last, who knows?

At this moment, for Zhang Tianhai, who had learned about Zheng Man's family situation, it was more like he had provoked something that he shouldn't have provoked. But if he just wiped his mouth after eating it and refused to admit it, he really couldn't do it.

Come out, he is not that kind of scumbag, and he really doesn't have a heart of stone.

Since he did it, there is no way to deny it. What's more, a dignified young lady, who is also the precious daughter of a big boss in the party, can like him. To a certain extent, it is also his fault.

It's Yulin's honor, isn't it? How can someone who can be called a brother to Tang Shengzhi get easily?

"Zhang Yulin, I know what you want to ask." Zheng Man is a smart woman. She could tell at a glance that Zhang Tianhai was worried, so she explained the matter in detail: "My father, in the party,

I am considered a veteran figure. I also funded a lot of money during the National Army’s Northern Expedition, and I have a certain connection with Principal Jiang. And I am my father’s youngest daughter. Do you understand now?”

"Well. After all, daughters are their father's little cotton-padded jackets." Zhang Tianhai responded as if he was distracted. He was not thinking about Zheng Man's problem, but that their group was indeed as Zhang Shaoxun said at the beginning. Your group,

It is a reinforcement regiment directly under the theater. It is different from us. Who knows that one day the orders will change and you will be transferred?

"What's wrong? Zhang Yulin, are you unhappy?" Zheng Man looked at Zhang Tianhai's frown and asked unconsciously.

Zhang Tianhai shook his head, turned to Zheng Man and said: "It's okay, I'm thinking about something. Please help me find Chief of Staff Guo and tell him in private the order that Commander Tang just gave to our regiment. Tell him

He is not allowed to mention this matter until before departure, so that he can prepare for vigilance and be ready to retreat at any time."

After Zheng Man left, Zhang Tianhai called Wei He, the commander of the special agent company, and asked Wei He: "Do you still remember the night a week ago when I came to talk to you?"

"Reporting to the group, I remember even my humble position." Wei He replied truthfully.

"That's enough. I want you to stay in Nanjing with me and the secret agent company. I have some other things to do." Zhang Tianhai lowered his voice and said.

"What's wrong, Tuan Zuo, are our troops about to retreat?" Wei He also lowered his voice and asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you fucking obey my orders?" Zhang Tianhai glared at Wei He.

Sensing the displeasure in the regiment leader's eyes, Wei He immediately stood up and promised: "Report to the regiment, I will definitely obey the regiment's orders. Follow the regiment leader and beat the little devils. We will beat them happily!"

"That's enough, just follow my orders before boarding the ship tonight!" Zhang Tianhai said seriously.

"Yes! Group seat!" Wei He responded.

What is told under the shade of green willows is the promise between two soldiers.

The gunshots and shouts of death in the city are still there. The Chinese army has never given up resistance. The battle in the city is still going on!

It was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the 88th Division and the 1st Division of the 87th Division walked north along Zhongshan Road and wanted to go out through Yijiang Gate again. However, when they reached the vicinity of the Railway Ministry, they were already blocked by a group.

The officers and soldiers and the special agent team of the Chief's Department intercepted this part of the army. They were eager to leave and refused to obey the command of the Chief's Chief. There was no military officer in charge of the two troops among them, not even a colonel.

No, the order has become even more chaotic.

Soon, this unit broke away from the entanglement of the Zhiyi Regiment and the Chief's Secret Service Team and left without knowing where they went. Division Commander Sun Yuanliang was not found among these people.

"Leader, where do you think these troops are going?" Liu Houming next to him asked Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but what is certain is that they went to other city gates to break out and crossed the river to escape. Instead of wasting time with us here, it is better to go to the shore early.

Over there."

"What the regiment leader said is absolutely true. Will our troops also withdraw?" Liu Houming asked softly.

But what Liu Houming never expected was that he actually hit a soft nail: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

About half an hour later, a small staff officer from the garrison commander's headquarters found Zhang Tianhai and said: "Commander Zhang, please pass on Commander Tang's orders. There will be an important military meeting at about 4:10, Commander Tang."

Call your name to join us."

"What? You asked me to join you by name?" Zhang Tianhai could hardly believe his head. What was going on? Logically speaking, even if the generals guarding the city gathered together for a meeting, he would not be a small group leader.

What's the matter? Even if it's a strengthened group, it's still a group, right?

"Yes, that's right, Chief Zhang. It was Tang Shengzhi who personally ordered you to participate. There is absolutely no mistake." Perhaps fearing that Zhang Tianhai heard wrongly, the lieutenant and junior staff officer repeated the content again.

"Well, I understand, you can go back!" Zhang Tianhai waved his hand and said. He seemed to have figured out why he was qualified to participate in this meeting. Just because he is currently a reinforcement regiment directly under the jurisdiction of the garrison commander's headquarters.

long.

Don’t use bean bags as solid food, don’t use the group leader as a cadre...

Sure enough, at 4:10 in the afternoon, when Zhang Tianhai was ordered to go to the conference hall of the garrison commander's headquarters, senior generals had arrived one after another, basically all with the rank of lieutenant general.

At about 4:20, everyone was here. Except for one Sun Yuanliang who was missing, all the army commanders and division commanders involved in guarding Nanjing were already here. Since Zhang Tianhai had the lowest military rank and the lowest position, he

Sitting at the end.

Commander Tang Shengzhi, deputy commanders Liu Xing, Luo Zhuoying, chief of staff Zhou Lan, senior staff officer of the Military Commission Lieutenant General She Nianci, and several senior officials were sitting at the front of the conference table. The atmosphere was terrifyingly dull.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the last meeting in the Nanjing garrison.

Tang Shengzhi stood up first and said: "Since the end of November, our seventh theater (i.e. Nanjing Garrison Area) has been fighting with the Japanese troops. The troops have been fighting the enemy very hard for half a month. Although our troops have suffered heavy casualties,

We also dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Japanese army. However, Nanjing is now very critical, and a few enemies have already rushed into the city. In your opinion, are you still confident that we can continue to defend it?"

Everyone at the meeting looked at each other, but no one dared to say anything. The coldness in the air was very torturous, even so cold that it made people shiver. Seeing that the atmosphere had become so silent, Tang Shengzhi took out two telegrams from Chiang Kai-shek and said:

"If the situation cannot be maintained for a long time, we can retreat immediately as a plan for the future."
