Chapter 74: Deterrence

"Quickly withdraw, the group of bastards of the 260 Brigade betrayed us, this group of bastards, who gave birth to a son without **, actually betrayed us."

Seeing that the 260th Brigade abandoned its position and retreated to Guanghuamen and the city, the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps began to curse.

I didn't expect this group of people from the 260 Brigade to be so seedless, and they just ran away, but you hold on for a while. When the 51st Division is in order, it will be able to join the defensive forces.

Now it's a good thing, as soon as the 260th Brigade withdrew, the devils directly captured the position of the 260th Brigade, putting the Second Teaching Regiment in a very awkward position.

To retreat at this time is undoubtedly to abandon the engineering school and fully defend the city.

This is not an ancient war, do you really think you can defend it by relying on the outline of the city?

The seemingly tall Nanjing city wall can't be carried at all in front of the devil's heavy artillery. Retreating to the city will undoubtedly make the whole defense more passive, with no room for manoeuvre.

However, if they did not retreat, the Japanese army would attack the position of the 2nd Teaching Regiment from the flank, and they would not be able to withdraw if they wanted to.

For a while, before the troops below could wait for the order from above, the officers and men of the 2nd Regiment wanted to withdraw to the city.

"Withdraw quickly, if you don't retreat, it's too late!"

"Who dares to withdraw? I killed him! ”

Seeing that the soldiers of the Fifth Company wanted to directly abandon their positions and retreat, Leng Jie stood up decisively, handed the sniper rifle in his hand to Guo Ying next to him, and then took out the pistol on his waist.

"How old are you? The things we teach the corps are not your turn to be taken care of by an outsider! ”

Seeing Leng Jie, these soldiers of the Teaching Corps did not pay attention to it, and even said that they looked down on it, just like the attitude of the rich relatives in the city who came to defect to the poor relatives in the countryside.

"That's it, that's what we teach the corps!"

Saying that, even if a soldier ran back, he didn't care about Leng Jie's face at all.

"Bang!"

When the other soldiers tried to run along, a gunshot rang out, and the fastest soldier suddenly fell, and a line of blood burst out.

Seeing that the soldier was suddenly shot and fell to the ground, the other people who wanted to run stopped one after another, and looked at Leng Jie, who was still holding a pistol with a faint green smoke in his hand.

"You actually shot it..."

A soldier pointed at Leng Jie incredulously, but he responded with another shot from Leng Jie's pistol.

This time, however, the bullet did not hit the soldier, but flew past his ear, and the soldier stayed there stupidly.

Leng Jie ignored the other party and coldly glanced at the surrounding soldiers. Every soldier who was swept by his eyes subconsciously took a step back, even two or three steps, for fear that he would shoot again.

"You want to hold Nanjing? You are still known as the most elite troops in the country, but you don't even know the most basic common sense.

A soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty.

I don't know what you were like before, but from now on, I am your company commander, and you must follow my orders.

If you want to be a deserter, ask me about the gun in my hand first, and give me all back to the position. ”

Although it was a little inappropriate for Leng Jie to forcibly kill his own people before the war, as an outsider, he wanted to really command this army, if he couldn't deter this group of proud soldiers, what would he do to command this army.

Although it was only a company, it was only a hundred and ten people, but it was better than the effect of his five people going to war, right?

And this is the teaching corps, to put it bluntly, it is currently the most elite unit in China, and there is no one of them.

Although the equipment of the tax police corps is good, it is only a light weapon, and it is the kind that my father does not love and my mother does not love.

The teaching corps is different, it has been Lao Jiang's baby bump since its establishment, and the weapons and equipment are the best --- brand-new German-style equipment of the national army.

Moreover, the training is also based on the German army, if you do not consider the actual combat, this is indeed the most elite unit of the Chinese army at this time.

But such an army was basically wiped out in the Battle of Nanjing in history.

The reason is not that the soldier is not good, but that the superior officer is the problem.

When retreating, a group of senior officers represented by Gui Yongqing directly abandoned the army and fled, so that most of the soldiers of this army did not die on the battlefield, but were slaughtered by the Japanese army without weapons in their hands.

Although there are only more than 100 people in the Fifth Company, as long as they are used well, they are no worse than the soldiers of the more than 100 tax police regiments, and the key lies in who commands them.

And Leng Jie's murderous aura finally deterred the group of soldiers who wanted to escape, and Leng Jie could be said to have forced them back to their positions with guns.

。。。。。。

"Commander, what now?"

Seeing that the soldiers on their side saw the 260 Brigade running away, they also began to retreat without orders, and the major, who had just become the battalion commander, also began to panic.

Some people in the 4th and 6th companies began to abandon their positions and run, but the 5th company was still holding on.

"Is that Leng Jie?"

Seeing that the Fifth Company was still holding its position, Xie Chengrui thought of Leng Jie, who had only one side, and was a little surprised by the other party's performance.

Seeing that the Japanese army in front of him was attacking in a big way, and some of the Japanese troops who had already attacked the position of the 260th Brigade were also killed from the side, Xie Chengrui said calmly, "Your second battalion is responsible for blocking the rear of the palace, and you must hold your position for half an hour."

If the position is lost, I will ask you! ”

"Yes!"

The major assured loudly.

After ordering the second battalion to be the queen, Xie Chengrui quickly rushed back to the regimental headquarters, first reported to Gui Yongqing, and then ordered the first and third battalions to prepare to retreat without waiting for Gui Yongqing's reply.

The 260 Brigade has run away, and there is no need for them to hold on to this place anymore.

"Xie Chengrui, let me tell you, your second regiment must give me to defend in the engineering school, and I can't retreat, otherwise I will kill you!"

Here, Xie Chengrui was about to order a retreat, and Gui Yongqing's call came over there, perhaps guessing that he wanted to retreat, as soon as the phone rang, the other party scolded.

"Sir, the 87th Brigade of the 260th Division has abandoned its position, our flank is exposed to the Japanese army, and if we don't retreat, our regiment will have to be surrounded by the Japanese army." Xie Chengrui didn't expect to wait for the order.

If Leng Jie was here, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out why Gui Yongqing suddenly became so bloody.

"Don't make excuses for me. I have already reported the matter of the 260th Brigade to the garrison headquarters and Wang Jingjiu, and the garrison headquarters promised to send troops to reinforce your department, and Wang Jingjiu will also let the 259th Brigade and the 261st Brigade send troops to defend Guanghuamen and respond to your department.

Anyway, in a word, you can't retreat without my orders! ”

After speaking, Gui Yongqing hung up the phone directly, leaving Xie Chengrui stunned.

"Commander, what now?"

The chief of staff next to him asked.

"What to do? Didn't hear the order? Give me the order to go down, give me to return to the position and hold on, whoever dares to retreat, I will kill him! Xie Chengrui roared.

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

After speaking, Xie Chengrui couldn't help coughing, you must know that he is sick now, and now he is so emotional, it naturally has some impact.

"Commander, you...

The people in the regiment headquarters next to them hurriedly leaned over, but were directly blocked back by Xie Chengrui, staring at these people with wide eyes, "Didn't you hear my order?" Don't give the order yet! ”

"Yes!"
