Nanjing has become a city of terror. Like mosquitoes, the planes came in batches, and the heavy artillery of the Japanese army continued to pour them down. The sound of explosions in the city was deafening, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the blood was everywhere, and the citizens in the city were panicked, and Nanjing had become a city of terror.

Zhang Feilili and Yazhi went to kill Tang Jun, and there was no news at all. Xiao Jian regretted that he didn't kill Tang Jun personally. Zhang Fei boasted that he went to Haikou and killed Tang Jun, which was a piece of cake. Xiao Jian believed his words. When he killed Saburo Hashimoto, it was less than half an hour, not to mention the assistance of Lili and Aeda. But Xiao Jian was in a hurry. Immediately sent Li Wei and Hu to find out the news of Zhang Fei and Gen Yazhi. He and Hu came and went to Gui Yongqing's department to receive his special combat team. This is Xiao Shan's order, to set up a combat supervision team, all combat units who flee in battle, do not obey the military order, violate military discipline, officers and soldiers, all will be shot. Xiao Jian knew that Tang Shengzhi was a trapped beast. He didn't expect the Japanese army to be so strong, it was less than ten days to defend the city, and despite the desperate resistance of the national army, the flesh and blood of the national army still could not stop the steel flow of the Japanese army, with heavy casualties and a certain defeat. Once the Japanese army invaded the city, the consequences were unimaginable.

Chiang Kai-shek is gone, which means that the fate of the city is decided by Tang Shengzhi. Nanjing has become an isolated city. Chiang Kai-shek could not increase his troops in Nanjing, the Japanese army had fully invaded China, and the land of China was full of wolf smoke. It was December 8, 1937. The Japanese army appointed General Matsui Ishine as the commander of the attack on Nanjing, and had already given a death order to capture Nanjing in early December.

Matsui Ishine is of medium height, his face is like a knife, and his small eyes are clear, ruthless and poisonous. On this day, as if crazy, he waved his saber at his men, "Forward, forward!" Your goal is to attack! Attack! Planted the flag of the Empire of Japan on the head of Minamijo. Capture the city of Nanjing, whoever retreats, military law is engaged. "The Japanese soldiers were all militarist minions, like a pack of hungry wolves, frantically the positions of the national army pounced, killing and wounding one batch after another. Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, the war has reached a grim moment of life and death.

In order to defend this isolated city, Tang Shengzhi ordered the destruction of the boats crossing the river, blocking the escape passage of more than 100,000 troops and 700,000 residents of Nanjing.

Xiao Jian was anxious, he knew that Tang Shengzhi did this without any military knowledge. There are advances and retreats in the war, and there are offenses and defenses. There is a saying in the countryside: A good man does not suffer immediate losses, and it is not too late to take revenge for his losses. It is about the wisdom of struggle.

Gui Yongqing was the "Iron Guard Captain" cultivated by General Kai-shek himself, and his combat effectiveness was very strong, and he was the strongest unit in the entire Nanjing garrison. Chiang Kai-shek was very hesitant about the presence of this force. Due to the tight war, if Chiang Kai-shek pulled this army away, it would cool the hearts of the other defenders of the city. In the end, I stayed. But Chiang Kai-shek was determined to pull away the special combat team of Gui Yongqing's troops, and Tang Shengzhiqiang was left behind. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to take his wife Song Meiling and quietly take a plane away. In the end, this special combat team was still used to defend facilities such as the Zhongshan Cemetery and important cultural relics in Nanjing. After Japan's surrender, this special combat team lived up to its mission and successfully completed the task of handing over Kai-shek to Xiao Jian.

Since the retreat of the Teaching Corps from Shanghai to Nanjing on November 9, after replenishment, there are still more than 30,000 troops, and they are well-equipped and maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

He accepted the difficult task of defending the Purple Mountain against the frontal enemy.

What kind of person is this Gui Yongqing.

Gui Yongqing was a descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. His father, Gui Jinshan, was originally a vegetable farmer, and later made a fortune in business. He had five sons, the eldest son of Yongqing. In his early years, he studied in Yingtan Higher Primary School in this county (the second primary school in Guixi County) and had excellent grades. After graduating from primary school, his father sent him to Nanchang to attend school, first entered Xinyuan Middle School, and later graduated from the First Normal School (one says that he first graduated from the Jiangxi Public Chinese Workshop, and then entered the Jiangxi Provincial No. 1 Middle School). He used to be a teacher in a higher primary school, a quartermaster of the General Headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Jiangxi Army, and the secretary of the Headquarters of the First Guerrilla Brigade of the Central Legislature. In the winter of 1923, he went to Guangzhou and joined the sergeant company of the Teaching Regiment of the Military and Political Department of the Generalissimo's Office. At the beginning of 1924, he entered the first team of the army martial arts school in the base camp to study, and was later sponsored by Xu Suzhong and Peng Sumin, representatives of the first congress of the Kuomintang in Jiangxi Province, to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, and in June of the same year, he was transferred to the Whampoa Military Academy and entered the second team of the first phase to study. Participated in the organization of the Sun-Wenist Society. He Yingqin, the chief instructor of the military academy, appreciated him a lot, and before he graduated, he was sent to the teaching regiment as an acting platoon commander. After graduation, he successively served as the captain and company commander of the 9th Company of the 2nd Regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy, the party representative, the commander of the 1st Division Special Service Company, and the commander of the 1st Army Special Service Battalion of the National Revolutionary Army.

Participated in the First and Second Eastern Crusades and the Northern Expedition. During the First Crusade against Tamsui, he led his troops to attack the city. Chiang Kai-shek saw through the binoculars that Gui Yongqing was ascending the ladder to the city when he was overthrown by the defenders halfway and fell straight to the bottom of the city, but he soon reappeared on the ladder. After the freshwater was laid, Chiang Kai-shek praised Gui Yongqing and thought that he was suitable for leading troops, so he was transferred to the Whampoa Military Academy to teach the captain of the 9th Company of the 2nd Regiment; During the Second Eastern Crusade, he was promoted to battalion commander and participated in the attack on Huizhou. After the First Eastern Crusade, he confiscated the enemy's property without authorization, mailed it back to Jiangxi, and was sentenced to death after the incident. Later, because the students submitted to the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, please remember their exploits in Tamsui, Honghu and Xingning, and be treated leniently. On April 8, 1925, in accordance with the resolution of the Central Committee, Gui Yongqing was exempted from the death penalty and made him guilty of meritorious service.

In 1926, during the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Gui Yongqing served as a battalion commander at the General Headquarters of the Eastern Route Army and entered Fujian from Shantou. Participated in the Battle of Songkou. When the troops arrived in Zhejiang in 1927, the General Headquarters set up an independent regiment directly under it (the 58th Regiment), and He Yingqin promoted it to colonel and regimental commander. In August 1927, Chiang Kai-shek announced his departure from the battlefield in the Ning-Han dispute, and the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang took the opportunity to gather the old troops to cross the Yangtze River in the south, occupy Longtan and Qixia Mountain and other places, and prepare to occupy Nanjing. In the Battle of Longtan, which was related to the fate of the Kuomintang, Gui Yongqing's troops were brave and tenacious, always held the main position at the bridgehead, repelled enemy attacks many times, and captured more than 7,000 Sun troops.

In 1930, the army was reorganized, and the subordinate units were reorganized into 6 divisions, and he was promoted to major general and brigade commander of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division. After Gui arrived, he recommended Qiu Qingquan as deputy brigade commander, but Chiang Kai-shek sent Li Mo'an as deputy brigade commander. When Li went to see Gui, Gui was playing mahjong and had an arrogant attitude towards Li. Li went back to complain to Chiang, who immediately removed him from his post. Gui asked He Yingqin to say something. He asked Gui if he was willing to study abroad, and after receiving a positive answer, He asked Chiang to send Gui abroad to study military affairs.

In the spring of 1931, Gui Yongqing arrived in Berlin, the capital of Germany, and entered the German Infantry College. During this period, he became acquainted with a number of senior German generals such as General Goering and General Bard. After graduating, he remained in the German embassy as a military attaché. Soon after, he was called back to China.

In March 1932, he and He Jinhan and others organized the Fuxing Society, and Gui Yongqing was elected as the secretary of the Central Committee. Chiang Kai-shek designated Gui Yongqing as the head of the training department, and in this way, Gui Yongqing became one of Chiang Kai-shek's "Thirteen Taibao". After Gui Yongqing took office, he actively developed the "Fuxing Society" organization and vigorously praised Chiang Kai-shek. He often said: "Germany produced a Hitler who revived Germany." With President Jiang in China, as long as everyone unanimously supports it, China will surely be rejuvenated. ”

In June 1933, Gui Yongqing was appointed as the head of the "Central Military Academy Teaching Corps". Gui Yongqing completely adopted the training methods of the German army to train the trainees, requiring the subordinates to obey their superiors absolutely, and still less allowing the subordinates to contradict the superiors. He also personally went to the training ground to train and demonstrate movements. In addition, he also demanded that all officers and men of the corps be instructed to do the "five nos": that is, not smoking, not gambling, not sleeping with prostitutes, not drinking tea (drinking plain water), and not washing their faces and bathing with hot water. He also announced: Anyone who violates the "five noes" will not need to be "no matter how good my knowledge is and how great my ability is." These practices of Gui Yongqing were appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek.

What made Chiang Kai-shek even more appreciative was that Gui Yongqing reviewed the performance of the Boy Scouts once. After the September 18 Incident, the three northeastern provinces became Japanese colonies, and the people were separated, and many young children went into exile in Shanghai to join the Chinese Scouts. The first Scouts were mainly active in concessions, church schools, and groups, and after 1926 they were taken in by the people. In 1935, Chiang Kai-shek held a Chinese scout parade ceremony, and Gui Yongqing served as the chief of the review. When he inspected the Manchurian team, a group of children were listless, untidy, and sparsely numbered. Suddenly, Gui Yongqing's mind came up with the tragic scene of the fall of Manchuria, and the entire northeast was ravaged by Japan's iron hooves. Although it is out of order, it expresses the feelings of Chinese soldiers who love the country and their family. Soon someone reported to Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang Kai-shek was also moved, his eyes moistened, and he walked in front of the Manchurian team to encourage him. The children could no longer suppress the grief in their hearts, and immediately burst into tears. Afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek said to his subordinates with emotion: "Yongqing is a model for Whampoa!" Since then, Gui Yongqing's title of "model of Whampoa" has spread throughout the Kuomintang and beyond.

He was awarded the rank of Major General in April 1935 and Lieutenant General in October 1936. He served as the commander of the 78th Division, the deputy commander of the capital garrison, and the chief of the summer military training corps for students of Nanjing University and Middle School. After the Xi'an Incident, he served as the commander of the first column of the Fifth Route of the Rebel Army, and led the teaching corps to Shaanxi to rescue Chiang Kai-shek. On 18 December, Guibu advanced to Weinan and captured it by 9 a.m. On December 25, when Chiang Kai-shek flew from Xi'an to Luoyang after his release, Gui Yongqing received Chiang's encouragement. Soon after, he was appointed as a special envoy to England to attend the coronation of the British king.

After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Gui Yongqing led the teaching corps to participate in the battle. At this time, the teaching corps already had more than 20 regiments, and the total number of officers and men exceeded the establishment of one regular army. Originally, He Yingqin decided to transfer the teaching corps to Sichuan and expand it to 30 regiments as the main force of the second phase of the operation, and Gui Yongqing asked to join the war immediately, and the officers and soldiers under his command also actively asked to go to the front line to kill the enemy. After the troops arrived in Shanghai, they entered the Suzhou Creek Bazi Bridge to take over the defense line of Hu Zongnan's First Army. Gui Yongqing personally supervised the battle and prevented the Japanese army from forcibly crossing the Suzhou Creek, and the battle was very fierce, with more than 10,000 casualties among the teaching corps. In the end, Gui Yongqing instructed the rest of the corps to retreat to Nanjing. At the beginning of December, the Japanese army attacked Nanjing again, and the teaching corps was ordered to defend the Purple Mountain, Tianbao City, Guanghuamen and other places. Gui Yongqing was always on the front line.

Gui Yongqing gave a death order: "If you can't hold your position, come and see you." ”

Under the pressure of this death order, the soldiers fought very tenaciously, and the Japanese army lost their troops and did not move forward. Tang Shengzhi was very satisfied with the performance of the teaching team. Special Commendation.

Seeing that the Japanese army could not gnaw on this hard bone, they left a small number of troops to contain the teaching team, which reduced Gui Yongqing's pressure a lot.

Xiao Jian took He Hu to Gui Yongqing's command post, Gui Yongqing saw Xiao Jian, and said lukewarmly: "Instructor Long, what blew you here, the bullets here don't have long eyes." "Gui Yongqing has always looked down on the idle officers of the army. He is the descendant of Chiang Kai-shek's lineage, Xiao Jian's official is too small, and his attitude is indifferent.

Xiao Jian saw Gui Yongqing's arrogant attitude, knowing that he had a big shelf, and looked down on himself. Xiao Jian said coldly: "Captain Gui, I am here to take over your special combat team on the orders of the commander-in-chief. We hope you will cooperate! ”

"Take over my special operations team?" Gui Yongqing laughed all of a sudden, and said, "In broad daylight, what crazy words!" ”

"Do you want to disobey military orders?" What Xiao Jian despises most is the person who has nothing in his eyes.

"Whose military order am I resisting?" Gui Yongqing didn't expect a school official to speak like this to himself. His face suddenly darkened.

"Orders from Commander-in-Chief Tang and Chairman Chiang." Xiao Jian decided to speak in a showdown.

"Is there a letter from the chairman?" Gui Yongqing attaches great importance to this special combat team, although there are only one hundred and eight members, but Gui Yongqing loves this special combat team as much as he loves his own eyes. In the Battle of Shanghai, he destroyed two command posts of the Japanese army and destroyed an artillery position of the Japanese army. Speaking of his exploits, Gui Yongqing is like a treasure. He is a killer sword by Gui Yongqing's side. Now, this special operation is the time to show its talents. Gui Yongqing said that he was unwilling to hand over this mysterious special combat team.

"This is the chairman's decree!" Xiao Jian pulled out the Zhongzheng Sword on his body at once.

"Yes!" Gui Yongqing saw the Zhongzheng Sword in Xiao Jian's hand and stood up straight. At this moment, he had nothing more to say. In fact, before Xiao Jian came, Tang Shengzhi had already called Gui Yongqing. Gui Yongqing wanted to stay with this army, but Tang Shengzhi hung up the phone as soon as he said "carry out the order". This made Gui Yongqing's heart ache. Then, Gui Yongqing had no choice but to inform the special operations captain Ou Long, asking him to prepare to go to a new combat post, but Ou Long said that he was unwilling to leave.

Gui Yongqing finally said, "Obey the order, I hope Instructor Long will treat them well." They are a fierce flock of falcons in our army. Cherish it! ”

"Rest assured, Chief Gui, I will love them as much as you do!"

At this moment, a big man broke into Gui Yongqing's command post and said coldly: "Captain, I haven't passed this level yet."
