Chapter 379 The evacuation meeting of the 475th Brigade
At Taipingmen, the remaining officers and soldiers of the 475th Brigade led by Lin Yifu looked at the surviving troops of the friendly 159th Division and the 160th Division, who were about to break out and carry out the battle scene to evacuate the capital Nanjing, but very quickly,
They found out that they had been killed batch after batch of officers and soldiers by the Japanese troops outside.
They also pushed these friendly troops back in, causing many casualties among the officers and soldiers.
"Hiss! Are the Japanese troops outside Taiping Gate so powerful? The troops of our two friendly divisions actually want to break out, but they can't do it? How many Japanese troops are outside to surround us?"
"Who knows! Didn't you see how ferocious the enemy's artillery bombing was? We were all bombed and many of our brothers were injured!"
"That's right! I think there is probably at least one Japanese division group troop here at Taiping Gate to surround us! Zhonghua Gate and Guanghua Gate have already been occupied by Japanese troops. Didn't the garrison troops there escape?
, he died in battle, or he must have surrendered to the Japanese army!"
"Then what should we do now? Should we surrender to the Japanese army, or should we evacuate this place quickly? Or should we fight to the end? Or should we break out?"
"Who knows! Ask our brigade commander! But I think we are all going to fight the Japanese to the death. Our brigade commander is not one of those shy turtles, he is a determined general who kills the Japanese! Otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
You’ve evacuated this place, are you still waiting until now?”
"Tsk! What you said is wrong. So what if we evacuate now? Commander Tang has already issued an evacuation order, so there is no loss of face or shame in evacuating now. We can still continue in the rear.
Carry out the anti-Japanese war, and I think our brigade commander will definitely have a way to lead us out of here safely!"
"Yes! You must know that our 475th Brigade was ordered to defend the positions from Wuxi to Jiangyin, and has been protecting the second line of defense of Nanjing, the capital, and then assisted the friendly forces in defending Yuhua Gate, Shuixi Gate, Zhonghua Gate, etc.
Behind the first line of defense, we have been resisting the Japanese attack!"
"And we have been fighting all the way to Taipingmen for such a long time! All our officers and soldiers have never been intimidated, nor have we evacuated privately, let alone surrendered to the Japanese army, or acted as escape troops!"
"Okay, don't say this so excitedly. Now our brigade commander is ready to summon all the officers for an evacuation meeting. Commander Tang's evacuation order has already reached us. The Japanese troops have already left MAS.
The Yangtze River section has been successfully crossed, and Pukou has been captured, which has completely cut off the military supplies we transported from Jiangbei, as well as the arms supply lines of various weapons, equipment and ammunition. So if we don’t evacuate here immediately,
Then we will be besieged here by the Japanese army and carry out encirclement, suppression and total annihilation!"
"No way! Do we really want to evacuate? And didn't Commander Tang always say that he would never surrender to the Japanese army, and that he must swear to live and die with the city? Why not only did he run fast, but he also issued orders
issued a combat order for all troops to evacuate?”
"Hey! If we can get the evacuation order, if you don't want to leave here, stay and kill the Japanese. If you are willing to obey the order and leave, then prepare to follow our brigade commander and other officers to evacuate together!"
"Why are you so anxious to evacuate? Our brigade commander has just started to prepare for the evacuation discussion meeting, and we haven't officially implemented the order to evacuate immediately! Maybe we will continue to stay here to kill the Japanese!"
"I don't think so! Although our brigade commander is very good at killing Japs, he is also more obedient to the combat instructions from his superiors. I'm afraid this time we really have to break out and evacuate here!"
However, as for the friendly troops, after they were badly beaten by the Japanese troops outside Taiping Gate and evacuated,
The entire remaining officers and soldiers of the 475th Brigade began to get excited and talk about it.
Especially when some of them began to receive the news that their brigade commander was holding an evacuation meeting, they began to discuss in a heated manner whether they should evacuate immediately or not.
As for the surviving troops of the friendly 159th Division and the 160th Division, after being beaten back by the Japanese army, they quickly reinforced the city gate openings that had been damaged by them, blocking the Japanese army's attack path, and preventing the Japanese army from allowing the enemy to attack.
The army surged in from outside.
With great difficulty, these friendly forces were able to drive out the Japanese troops and block the entrance to the cave.
At this time, Brigadier Lin of the 475th Brigade also immediately held a meeting of cadres at regiment level and above to study and implement the breakout plan.
Because he received the evacuation order from Commander Tang, which was to let the surviving troops of his 475th Brigade immediately withdraw from the existing defensive position of Taipingmen as soon as possible, and then reach their destination via Jurong, Pianshui, and Langxi areas.
Ningguo in the enemy-occupied area in southern Anhui was concentrated.
