"Meng Xiao, is this appropriate?"

Seeing that Tang Shengzhi ordered the seizure of the ships here, and let himself leave a steamer over there, if the generals below knew about it, what prestige did he, the commander of the garrison, have?

"Uncle Qi, I'm also just in case. Although I, Tang someone, have made up my mind to live and die with Nanjing, but I have to leave a way out, right?

I don't feel at ease if someone else does it, but I can only rest assured if you go, Uncle Qi. Remember, don't let too many people know about it. Tang Shengzhi looked around and reminded in a low voice again.

Zhou Wei was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded and agreed.

However, thinking of Tang Shengzhi's approach, Zhou Wei was also a little worried.

Is the other party planning to stick to Nanjing? If you don't plan to hold on, you have to inform the generals below of the whole situation, and even if you retreat at that time, you won't be in a hurry.

But if you really plan to hold on, what does it mean to keep these ships?

Although Zhou Hui's heart was full of doubts and worries, he still didn't ask Tang Shengzhi for a clear meaning in the end.

。。。。。。

December 9, Nanjing City.

"Deputy battalion commander, can we hold Nanjing?"

At about eight o'clock in the evening, in a ruined house near the Zhongshan Gate of Nanjing, near the Ming Palace Airport, a wounded soldier was expectantly asking Leng Jie, who was wiping a pistol.

That pistol belonged to Guo Ying, a Mauser shell gun. This is the standard pistol of the entire tax police corps, which was originally only equipped by officers, but Guo Ying, as a reserve sniper trained by Leng Jie, was equipped with a Mauser shell gun in addition to a rifle.

There were a lot of casualties in the tax police corps before, and a lot of Mauser pistols were vacated, otherwise it would not be so extravagant.

After Guo Ying's death, this pistol was collected by Leng Jie, and Guo Ying's name was engraved on it.

Because the losses of the second regiment were too great, they were transferred to the city to rest. As for the position of the engineering school, it was handed over to the 112th Division of the Northeast Army, and the division commander was Huo Shouyi, but at this time, Huo Shouyi had already been sent to the rear hospital because he was seriously injured in the defense of Jiangyin before.

The current commander of the 112th Division is Chief of Staff Li Yuchun.

The 112th Division was withdrawn to Nanjing only today, and as soon as it was withdrawn, it was handed over to Gui Yongqing by the garrison headquarters. Gui Yongqing saw that the loss of the second day of teaching was too great, so he asked the 112th Division to replace the second teaching regiment.

However, there were not many people in the 112th Division, and the defense of Jiangyin caused heavy losses to the 112th Division, and at present, there are only two regiments of 4,000 people temporarily reduced to Jurong.

Because the Japanese wanted to persuade the Chinese troops in the city to surrender, they did not launch an attack from 4 p.m., and not even a single shell fell on the positions of the Chinese troops.

Even Leng Jie didn't expect that the Japanese army would actually do what they said, maybe they really wanted to persuade the Chinese army in the city to surrender.

After all, in the previous Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army also paid a lot of price, especially in some street battles, the advantages of the Japanese army were greatly weakened, and the losses increased significantly.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, Nanjing was the capital of China at this time after all, and if the Chinese army was determined to hold Nanjing, even if the Japanese army could break through, it would definitely suffer a lot of losses.

Under these circumstances, the Japanese army planned to persuade the Chinese army to surrender in order to reduce its own casualties.

Of course, the Japanese army did not know that at this time, the top level of the national army had no hope of holding Nanjing at all, and most of the senior generals in the Nanjing garrison headquarters and the defenders in the city had no intention of defending Nanjing, and only the middle and lower officers and ordinary soldiers below did not know.

If the Japanese army does not attack, it will make Nanjing exceptionally quiet tonight, they don't have to worry about the devil's shells falling suddenly, and they can sleep peacefully.

"I don't know, we just have to do our best." Leng Jie didn't dare to guarantee the whole issue.

He knew that Nanjing couldn't hold it, but if he said this at this time, it would obviously be detrimental to his strength.

"Deputy battalion commander, why don't you tell us how you killed the enemy on the Songhu battlefield in the first place? We heard that the deputy battalion commander touched the devil inside and killed a devil. A soldier suddenly asked curiously.

"How do you know?" After speaking, the surprised Leng Jie looked at Daniel Zhang, "Is it that your kid is spreading nonsense again." ”

Daniel Zhang shrank his neck in fright, "Sir, I can't see them without seeing them, and I can't see it as a subordinate, so I revealed one or two to them." ”

"You kid!" Leng Jie glared at the other party.

"Deputy battalion commander, isn't what squad leader Zhang said true?" Li Yu also came over curiously.

"It's basically true, but this kid didn't follow me at first, so some things are not very complete." Leng Jie smiled, "What do you want to hear, I'll tell you, it's definitely more exciting than this kid." ”

"Deputy battalion commander, is it true that he killed the devil major general?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"It's true! But it was also an accident, it was on the battlefield on the south bank of Yunzaobang, and one day the commander of the Devil Major General Brigade didn't know what was crazy and came to patrol the front line, just on the north bank.

The distance is really a bit far, seven or eight hundred meters should be, it is estimated that the devil thinks there is no problem, so he is a little careless.

I tried it at the time, but I didn't expect it to be really concentrated, but I wasn't sure if I had killed the other party at the time. Later, we heard that the devil had changed the brigade commander, and we learned that the devil's brigade commander went to meet their Amaterasu. ”

"What is Amaterasu?"

"It's a god that the devil believes in, similar to our Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the like, but it's definitely not as good as our gods." Leng Jie didn't forget to belittle the devil.

"Where's that devil?"

"That's the captain of the devil's artillery wing, I touched the devil's camp that time, and I happened to meet him, so I dealt with him, and I also took back his big officer at that time. It's a pity that it was taken away by my boss and not in my hands.

And what's interesting is that these two devils are from the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the devil brigade is the former brigade commander of the 7th Devil Brigade who fought with us during the day. I guess the devil doesn't know I'm here, otherwise I'll have to go crazy! Leng Jie smiled.

"You don't know yet, when we first retreated from Shanghai, this Ninth Division was like a mad dog, biting us and chasing after us. As a result, we beat him up a few times, and he didn't dare to chase after him. Seeing Leng Jie say such a wonderful thing, Daniel Zhang's bragging problem was committed again.

Seeing that the fifth company was talking so wonderfully, the soldiers of the fourth and sixth companies next to him also gathered around to listen. The battle during the day has made the feelings of these people even closer, this is the brothers who live and die together, and Leng Jie can be regarded as almost integrated into this group.

And just when what was being said and listened to here was with relish, the sentries patrolling there were moving, saying that they had caught a few devils and spies.
