Chapter 103: The Destruction of Nanjing City (6)
Nanjing, Rujiangmen.
After Guo Qi's very important munitions warehouse was dumped to the arrogant Leng Jie, he rushed to Rujiangmen with more than 200 brothers under his command, wanting to go to Xiaguan Wharf.
Rujiangmen is the only way to Xiaguan Wharf, and if you want to get to Xiaseki, you have to pass through here.
The 36th Division under the 78th Army commanded by Song Xilian, who was stationed here, had Leng Jie's reminder, Guo Qi did not stupidly take all the troops to Rujiangmen, but took the troops to a nearby square, and then sent someone to find out the news.
Since the headquarters building of the Central Bank in Xinjiekou is the center of Nanjing, along the way, Guo Qi saw many panicked routs heading towards the direction of Rujiangmen, and he was a little worried.
Soon, the men sent to inquire about the news returned, bringing bad news.
The inside of Rujiangmen was crowded, and the 36th Division stationed at Rujiangmen did not receive an order to retreat, so no soldiers and civilians were allowed to pass through Rujiangmen.
Most of the people gathered in Rujiangmen were routed, and when they saw this situation, they naturally didn't do it. As a result, there was a military conflict between the two sides, and most of the routs who were eager to flee for their lives lost all the weapons in their hands, and where were the defenders who were equipped with a lot of light and heavy machine guns.
This cannot be said that the officers and men of the 36th Division are at fault, this part of the army stationed at Rujiangmen did not receive the order to retreat at all, and when they saw these troops who wanted to rush to Xiaguan, they naturally treated them as deserters.
After learning about the situation in Rujiangmen, Guo Qi summoned a group of officers and decided to lead the team back and follow Leng Jie to stick to Nanjing. Since you can't leave, it's better to stay and stick to see the situation.
Leng Jie had a sentence that impressed him deeply, that is, 'Who said that if the city of Nanjing is broken, it means that Nanjing has fallen?' ’
He hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to stay, since entering the Central Military Academy, the education he received did not allow him to be a deserter.
Just when Guo Qi led the team to turn back, there was another army in Rujiangmen that was also about to turn back, that is, Xie Chengrui led hundreds of people who taught the first and third battalions of the second regiment.
When Xie Chengrui came here with these hundreds of men, he didn't expect the defenders of the 36th Division to shoot directly.
The 36th Division's firing caused confusion among the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in the entire Rujiang Gate.
Xie Chengrui has not rested well in the past few days because of his command of the operation, and his body is very weak, and he was directly knocked to the ground and seriously injured under the crowd of chaotic people. Fortunately, the adjutant and others beside him reacted quickly, so they helped the other party up, took him out of Rujiang Gate, and finally came to the square where Guo Qi and the others stayed before.
Poor Xie Chengrui, who was already weak, was trampled on a lot of feet like this, and the whole person was already out of breath and out of breath and less in breath.
"Commander, Commander, are you alright?"
"Medic! Medic! ”
Seeing Xie Chengrui, who was vomiting blood, the people around him were shocked. The medical guards did not answer their shouts, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in the entire Rujiang Gate, and more and more defeated soldiers flocked here, and the hundreds of people in the Second Teaching Regiment were scattered.
Xie Chengrui was followed only by his adjutant, a few staff officers, and some officers and soldiers at the battalion and company level, less than 200 people.
As for the chief of staff, the deputy regiment commander and the two battalion commanders, they did not know where to run.
At the shouts of the subordinates, Xie Chengrui vomited a mouthful of blood before he woke up leisurely, looking at a pair of worried eyes, Xie Chengrui asked.
"Where is this?"
"Captain! This is a square near the Rujiang Gate. The adjutant hurriedly said.
"Hurry ... Fast.. Quickly withdraw and find. Looking for Leng Jie... I can't do it, let him act as the head of the second regiment... He.. He has the power to bring you alive ... Get out alive! ”
After speaking, Xie Chengrui's hand fell to the ground, his eyes were closed, and his breathing stopped immediately, only the blood at the corner of his mouth continued to fall.
For a while, the whole scene was quiet, and the noise in other places seemed to have nothing to do with them.
"Commander, Commander!" The adjutant suddenly shouted loudly, but Xie Chengrui, who had stopped breathing, couldn't respond to him at all.
"What now? Are we still out of town? Suddenly someone became depressed.
"Out of town? How do you get out of the city now? The 36th Division, these bastards, blocked the city gate and didn't let them go, how can we get out of the city? Don't let Lao Tzu get out alive, otherwise you have to settle accounts with this group of bastards, and even beat your own people, if they hadn't shot, wouldn't the regiment commander die, and we wouldn't be trapped in the city! ”
"But we can't get out of the city, aren't we waiting for death?"
"Didn't you hear the order of the regimental commander? Let's go to Camp Commander Leng, he can take us out of Nanjing alive! The adjutant said loudly.
"Just him? It's just an outsider from the Tax Police Corps, all of them are people, and we can't accomplish anything that our hundreds of thousands of troops can't do, can he do it? ”
"That's it, didn't the little devil say that we can live if we lay down our weapons? Foreigners have opened a lot of safe zones in the city, and if we go to the safe zone, we will definitely survive! ”
"If we go like this, the Japanese will still find out about us, and the Japanese will be able to believe what the Japanese say?"
"If we take off our uniforms, we can just pretend to be civilians!"
Seeing that these people could even give up their military uniforms and weapons in order to survive, the adjutant was immediately furious, "Is the regiment commander still there?" Don't you listen to orders? ”
"The regimental commanders are dead!"
"You bastard!" The adjutant said angrily.
"Fuck it!" Suddenly, a major took off the military hat on his head and threw it on the ground, "Lao Tzu is a soldier, and Lao Tzu can't handle the deserter's business, if you want to stay and live with Nanjing, go back with me!" ”
This major was Chen Wei, the deputy commander of the first battalion, and when he said this, many soldiers who wanted to go to the safe zone to take refuge changed their minds in an instant.
"I'm willing to stay!"
"I'll stay too! The big deal is death, and eighteen years later, he is a good man again! ”
In the end, half of the less than 200 people chose to stay, and the remaining half went to the safe zone. However, seeing Chen Wei and the adjutant and other officers and soldiers of the teaching corps turning back to the battlefield, there were many routs around them and they were also a little touched, although most of them still flocked to the Rujiang Gate or the safe area, but there were still a small number of people heading in the direction of the Japanese army.
Not everyone is bloodless, and there are still some who don't want to be deserters!
At this time, Leng Jie in the headquarters building of the Central Bank in Xinjiekou was arranging defenses, to be honest, relying on these more than 700 people, he couldn't hold it at all.
Therefore, Leng Jie only had a targeted defense, and the fourth company held the headquarters building of the Bank of China, the fifth company held the headquarters building of the central bank, and the second company held the headquarters building of the Central News Agency.
The vicinity of these three buildings is made of reinforced concrete and is the most suitable for entrenchment, and the headquarters of the Central Bank and the headquarters of the Central News Agency are important munitions warehouses that must be held so that his troops will not be short of weapons and ammunition.
This is the core defense area, and the periphery is the guerrilla area, with the 1st, 3rd, and 6th companies each responsible for an area, and the spy company that Leng Jie relies on the most is used as a mobile force.
It seems that the arrangement is very correct, but Leng Jie faces a big problem, that is, the lack of troops. And these are all a group of defeated troops, and I don't know how much combat power there is.
At this time, news came from his subordinates, saying that Guo Qi had returned with a few hundred people.
Hearing this news, Leng Jie was overjoyed, this is a complete battalion-level unit, and with their joining, Leng Jie's confidence is even greater.
So after Leng Jie discussed with Guo Qi, he transferred the two companies of Guo Qi's troops to the south and joined the first company, because the sixth division in the south was the most advanced unit of the Japanese army.
Maybe this night, the Japanese army will not enter the city, but after dawn, the Japanese army will march into the city in a big way, and at that time, Leng Jie's defense of Nanjing will really begin!
