[Volume 13] Section 134: Chapter 57 Xiaguan, Xiaguan (2)

----------

Du Yuming also sighed with emotion: "That's true! I heard from people in the telecommunications department that the Yanziji Fort severely damaged a Japanese light cruiser, causing it to run aground and explode frequently. It was severely damaged and tilted to the point of almost sinking. It is estimated that this credit will surely go to him in the future.

of.(e)"

Song Xilian looked at the burning oil stain left by a barge hit by Japanese heavy artillery on the river. At least hundreds of lightly and seriously injured people had just sunk with the barge. The losses were serious, especially on the Xiaguan defense line. Chinese soldiers

The corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers almost formed a parapet. The Great Wall of flesh and blood in Xiaguan had already frightened the attacking Japanese troops. Some commanders of the Japanese tank troops refused to crush the corpses of their own soldiers and attacked the Xiaguan defense line.

In fact, whether it is Song Xilian or Du Yuming, they know very well that Gao Fei's trip will probably end in death. When the mountains and rivers are broken and the people are in ruins, it is natural that as a soldier in the face of foreign humiliation and invasion, it is unshirkable to sacrifice.

At the last moment, if everyone is thinking about their own family property and life, I am afraid that this "Japan" will no longer need to be resisted! Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 1347

"Cross the river!" Song Xilian sighed helplessly, turned around and glanced in the direction of the flesh-and-blood defense line in Xiaguan. From morning to afternoon, a whole brigade of brothers from his 36th Division were laid off there, and they heard that

It is said that the Eighty-eighth Division, the Eighty-seventh Division, the Teaching Corps, the Sixty-sixth Army, the Seventy-fourth Army, and the Eighty-third Army all had their generals sacrificed in Xiaguan. Due to the chaos of the battle, reinforcements came up

Each ministry has no statistics, so the specific casualties are still unknown.

Song Xilian had just boarded the ship, and Yu Jishi and Wang Yaowu, who had a head injury, also came to the dock. The organized troops of more than a thousand people led by them were the last batch of the 74th Army to cross the river.

Wang Yaowu did not attend Tang Shengzhi's final meeting. When he saw Song Xilian, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Yin Guo! Damn it! That bastard gave the retreat order? Who gave the order?"

Yu Jishi stood aside with a face of sorrow and indignation without saying a word. Wang Yaowu was famous as the "Wang Dapao"! When he was in Huangpu and Lu Da, he loved to fight against injustice. He even dared to argue a few words even when Chairman Chiang reprimanded him. At this moment, on the dock

They were all officers and soldiers who had narrowly escaped death. Wang Yaowu's voice focused everyone's attention here.

Song Xilian complained secretly and lowered her voice helplessly: "It was the commander-in-chief Tang who issued the retreat order. He has the handwriting and order from the commission!"

Wang Yaowu glared with no appreciation at all: "What about Tang Shengsapien? As the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison, he should be the last one to cross the river."

A military police lieutenant colonel of the 36th Division on the side curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Sir Tang has already crossed the river. It happened yesterday afternoon. I'm afraid he has already crossed the Anhui boundary this time? I stopped him when I crossed the river.

The supply trucks run so fast."

"Get out of here!" Song Xilian glared at the military police lieutenant colonel. Isn't this tantamount to adding fuel to Wang Yaowu's cannon?

"Grandma! Didn't the man named Tang say that we live and die with the city? It's just our officers and soldiers on the front line who live and die with the city emotionally? Didn't it mean that all the ships were destroyed? Where did you get so many ships to cross the river? I

The 51st Division! When we retreated, there were more than 5,000 people, but now there are only more than 1,000 people left! I feel sorry for the brothers who died in Nanjing! What kind of shitty battle was this?

ah!"

Wang Yaowu grabbed his hair and squatted on the ground, like a helpless young man who was bullied and unable to fight back. The generals present were all dejected. Who gave the order to retreat?

Those who attended the last military meeting hosted by Tang Shengzhi probably still remember that on the 11th, Chiang Kai-shek began to order the retreat through Gu Zhutong, but Tang Shengzhi was afraid of being responsible for the loss of Nanjing, so he did not retreat immediately, nor did he make any preparations for the retreat.

, just doing nothing in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to personally order the Nanjing garrison to retreat under the cover of the organic camera.

Therefore, at the meeting, Tang Shengzhi not only showed his subordinates Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten orders, but also asked the military division commanders to sign and seal the minutes of the meeting ordering the troops to retreat. This meant that everyone should be tied together in case they were held responsible for the fall of the capital of Nanjing.

At this time, no one can run away, they are all grasshoppers on a rope.

It can be said that many generals are very strange at this moment. Why did the vigorous defense battle of Nanjing only last for seven days before the highest authorities suddenly ordered a retreat? This is completely inconsistent with the previous plan of at least two months of defense? It is simply a self-disruption.

These actions, especially Tang Shengzhi's behavior, made one general incompetent and exhausted the three armies.

Because as of noon on the 12th yesterday, the overall situation of the Nanjing Defense War had not collapsed, and the well-prepared street fighting had not yet begun. At the retreat meeting arranged by Tang Shengzhi, Gui Yongqing was the first to stand up and oppose the retreat, saying that he

There is no problem in the left defense zone, Guanghua Gate is also defended, only Zhonghua Gate is in danger, but the reserve teams of the two brigades at the northern foot of Purple Mountain are still available for deployment, and the Nanjing city wall position is still consolidated.

However, his arms could not twist his thighs, so Gui Yongqing had to listen to Tang Shengzhi in the end. As a result, the retreat order was suddenly issued, and the troops were in chaos. There was no alternate cover or shrinking of defenses. Tang Shengzhi only mentioned the sequence of retreat and garrison in the retreat order.

The commander's headquarters is ranked first, and the rest of the corps and divisions are ranked second. It seems that the troops below have not mentioned how to retreat at all? As if they are flying away when a disaster is approaching? The disaster has already come?

As a result, troops from all walks of life flocked to Xiaguan with hundreds of thousands of refugees. The subordinate troops believed that since the garrison commander had announced a retreat order, ships would be prepared for them in Xiaguan, and the slow-moving ones naturally took the rear.

, this is the old rule

Just like a lion chasing three people, you don't need to run faster than the lion, you just need to run faster than your companions. Hu Zongnan's First Army on the north bank is also helping to evacuate the refugees and assist them in crossing the river.

The troops were temporarily reorganized.

Song Xilian sighed and said: "These ships were not retained by Tang Shengzhi, but were seized privately by Captain Gao Fei of the fifth column of the military command at the risk of beheading. At this moment, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been saved! Now there are
