Chapter 87: The Bloody Battle Outside Nanjing City (Part 2)

"Beep beep beep...beep beep..." As the loud and rapid charge sounded, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion immediately jumped out of the trench with rifles, and rushed towards the Japanese with their roars at the top of their lungs.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers roared in unison and shocked the sky, and for a moment, the sound of guns and cannons faintly overshadowed the battlefield. [bsp;   The hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were attacking were also unambiguous. Seeing that the Chinese army actually charged at them, they were shocked and they also screamed at them with 38 rifles.

As soon as the two sides contacted, they launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Since the Kuomintang and the Japanese fought all the way from Songhu to Nanjing, all the soldiers of the Kuomintang hated the Japanese to the core, whether in terms of national justice or personal grievances.

The Japanese also suffered heavy losses under the resolute resistance of the National Army. As the saying goes, the enemy was extremely jealous when they met. The two armies stalked each other with hatred for their respective sky.

Such fierce battles were staged everywhere in the positions of the National Army outside Nanjing City. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the National Army were determined to survive and die with Nanjing and engage in a tragic bloody battle with the brutal Japanese.

………………………………

Fierce battles outside the city were in full swing, and the atmosphere inside the Nanjing Garrison War Zone Headquarters inside the city seemed particularly depressing.

Except for the front-line military chiefs who were commanding troops to resist firmly outside the city, almost all the other senior generals arrived.

Originally, the enemy was in front of the great enemy, and these senior generals should stick to their respective posts to command their soldiers to fight. However, today a heavyweight came to the garrison headquarters, so they had to take the time to attend this emergency military meeting.

At the first place, a middle-aged officer dressed in a general's uniform and looked around at the people present with a serious expression. Then he turned to Tang Shengzhi beside him and said, "Commander Tang, can the meeting begin?"

Tang Shengzhi looked a little unhappy and snorted softly: "Whatever."|

At this time, Chen Cheng did not care about Tang Shengzhi's disrespect. In his eyes, Tang Shengzhi was an outdated old warlord. The reason why Tang took over the hot potato of Nanjing was simply to come out to take charge of the troops again. Not only did Chen Cheng see this, but Chairman Jiang, as the leader of the National Government, also knew it very well.

However, Nanjing is now in a critical situation, and it is the time to employ people that Chairman Jiang appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander of Nanjing’s city defense.

Since the Nanjing Defense War was fought, Chairman Jiang's determination to maintain it has been shaken. However, since Nanjing is the capital of the National Government and cannot be given up easily in politics, he sent Chen Cheng to Nanjing in person to discuss the next battle with Tang Sheng on the one hand.

Of course, Nanjing cannot give up easily, but Chairman Jiang is even more worried about his more than a dozen elite direct divisions deployed around Nanjing. Although the Battle of Songhu won Chairman Jiang's high reputation and people's hearts, he consolidated his position as commander in the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

But his central direct ace troops also suffered heavy losses and almost lost even their old capital.

Therefore, he sent his confidant Chen Cheng to Nanjing when Nanjing was in a turmoil, preparing to discuss taking the initiative to retreat when necessary to preserve more than a dozen central direct troops inside and outside Nanjing.

After a pause, Chen Cheng readjusted his mood and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Dear colleagues, the battle for Nanjing has entered the most critical moment. I wonder if you have any ideas or suggestions? Let's say something and everyone discuss it together."

"Hmph, what do you think? The Japanese bayonet is almost hitting the bridge of our noses. If you didn't say anything, you will fight to the ground! Before the war, I, Mr. Tang, said that I, swearing to live and die with Nanjing. This sentence will never be empty words!" Tang Shengzhi snorted coldly and spoke first. He knew Chen Cheng's purpose. At this moment, he seemed very disgusted with Chen Cheng's arrival. Moreover, before the war, he had already informed the military and civilians across the country that he would lead his troops to firmly defend Nanjing. He would not agree to retreat now, whether it was for face or selfishness to seize military power.

Chen Cheng disdained him, and he didn't buy Chen Cheng's account very much. Although Chen Cheng was a celebrity in front of Chairman Jiang, a very powerful minister and a favor for a while, as Tang Shengzhi, who once publicly opposed Chiang, these were all false. Even Chairman Jiang was not afraid of him, and would he be afraid of Chen Cheng?

Chen Cheng didn't expect that Tang Shengzhi would block the words as soon as he spoke. He looked at Tang Shengzhi coldly for a while before he said helplessly: "Brother Meng Xiao, the Japanese army's offensive is now fast, and our army suffered heavy casualties. It is not a long-term solution after all. Moreover, according to reliable information, the Yamada Detachment of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army has crossed the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang North, and its strategic intention is very obvious, which is to intercept our Nanjing defender's way backwards!"

As soon as Chen Cheng said this, the senior generals of the National Army present were immediately in an uproar, "What? The Japanese have fought across Jiangbei? What's the point?"

"Yes, won't we become turtles in the jar?"

"It's not good, something is not good, and if you don't respond in time, not only will Nanjing not be able to hold it, but we may also let the Japanese make dumplings." Everyone started to talk with depression.
