saw that Zhao Zilong actually raised the issue of withdrawing troops in public.

Hu Qi was secretly happy, and then he couldn't help but become bolder, thinking that this was an opportunity to make the other party ugly.

"Zhao Zilong! Do you know that you are disobeying the order of the army? ”

"Now at the critical juncture of the Anti-Japanese War, you don't say how to kill devils, but ask everyone to retreat, which will greatly affect morale, if the city is broken, you will become a sinner in history."

Hu Qi suddenly shouted loudly and righteously.

Wang Zhong, Sun Jian and the others were also stunned, they didn't expect Zhao Zilong to ask such a question.

"Really?" Zhao Zilong snorted lightly and stared at Hu Qi.

Zhao Zilong doesn't remember much about the history of the great retreat of the national army guarding Nanjing, but he knows that the 71st Army just didn't carry out the order and was the fastest troop. This Hu Qi is the 71st Brigade of the 87th Division of the 2nd Army.

If these officers can be stopped, they all carry out the order to retreat, withdraw their troops in order, or hold on to them, what if he disobeys the orders?

If he can save the lives of more than 300,000 people in Nanjing, what if he becomes a sinner in history?

"Zhao Zilong, don't you believe it?"

At this time, Shen Congnian asked rhetorically: "You can ask Commander Tang, but in front of us, he said that he would lead everyone to defend Nanjing to the death." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Zilong immediately turned his head, looked at Tang Zhixin with a smile, and asked, "Commander Tang!" Aren't they talking about it? ”

"This? ......" Tang Zhixin's face suddenly changed, and his brows furrowed.

At this moment, he didn't know how to answer.

"Commander Tang! You just tell Zhao Zilong. How did you say at the meeting, in front of us, in front of the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, that you would stick to Nanjing and never retreat? ”

Hu Qi said immediately.

"yes. Commander Tang, just tell him. Shen Congnian also agreed.

Seeing the eyes of many officers in the audience, Tang Zhixin was crying bitterly.

The reason why he stood up at the national defense meeting of the Kuomintang at the beginning, which was devoted to the defense of Nanjing, said that he would hold on to Nanjing, was to regain control of the military in Dongshan.

He said that he could hold out for a few months, because he believed that the Japanese army did not necessarily have a plan to attack Nanjing, and that it might be just a bluff, and that if he led the troops to hold on symbolically for a period of time, he would be able to gain a good reputation for holding Nanjing after the Japanese army retreated. However, how could he say these little abacus?

After Tang Zhixin's eyes turned a few times, he looked at Zhao Zilong and said helplessly: "Zhao Zilong!" When you ask like this, it's really a demoralizer. ”

Immediately, his tone sank: "Do you know? The commander of the Japanese front, Chao Xianggongjiu, sent a letter from the air urging me to open the gates of the city and surrender, but I ignored it and continued to order all units to 'hold on to their best with the determination to live and die with their positions, and never to abandon an inch of land.' ’”

"Hmm. I've heard of this. Zhao Zilong nodded.

Of course, he knew that in those years, on the one hand, the Japanese army made preparations for the siege of the city, such as deploying artillery and tanks into positions, and on the other hand, it used planes to throw an ultimatum from the commander of the "Central China Front" to the Chinese defenders to persuade them to surrender.

However, the Nanjing Garrison Command ignored the Japanese army's ultimatum and issued an order of "Wei Shen Zuo Zi No. 36" as an answer on the same day.

"Do you know why I did it?"

Tang Zhixin continued: "I just want to use the spirit of 'breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat' to let all the officers here lead the troops to fight to the death, and swear to live and die with the city of Nanjing. ”

Wu Xin, Sun Jian and others in the audience were shocked why Zhao Zilong would ask such a question just now, but now they saw that Tang Zhixin was forced to swear to Nanjing in public again, and they couldn't help but secretly appreciate it in their hearts.

"Zhao Zilong! Did you hear Commander Tang's words? Is there anything else to say now? Hu Qi immediately asked.

"Yes, don't think that if you have made some credit and get the appreciation of the chairman, you can say such a problem." Shen Congnian also sneered.

"It's a question that shouldn't be asked." The diminutive officer said.

……

For a while, the officers in the audience whispered.

Zhao Zilong saw that everyone's emotions had been raised, he raised his hands high to signal them to be quiet, and then asked, "Then let me ask you, why are you guarding Nanjing?" ”

"Humph! Zhao Zilong, do you still want to ask this question? ”

Hu Qi immediately said confidently: "We are here to defend the national capital and protect the people." ”

"Yes, that's right."

Everyone agreed.

"Good. You're right, we have to stick to Nanjing. ”

Zhao Zilong looked at everyone's anger on his side, but he smiled and asked, "Since everyone knows about guarding Nanjing, I still ask the question just now, if Shangfeng asks you to retreat, then what should everyone do?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

"Zhao Zilong!"

At this time, Wang Jiu, the commander of the 71st Army, widened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "As a soldier, should you raise this question?" ”

Glancing at everyone, Wang Jiu continued: "Soldiers should obey the orders of their superiors, as long as they obey the orders and carry them out. If the commander gives an order and the soldier asks questions, then what else is needed from the army? ”

The question raised by Wang Jiu was very tricky and to the point.

"The commander is right. This question was not raised by the soldiers. Hu Qi and Shen Congnian immediately patted Wang Jiu's ass.

"This ......" Zhao Zilong was also speechless by the other party's question for a while.

"He said yes, the soldier should listen to the command of the commander, and the subordinate should obey the orders of the superior."

At this time, Haoxin came out to answer.

Seeing that Wu Xin also supported his statement, Wang Jiu couldn't help but smile, and looked at Zhao Zilong's eyes with even more disdain.

Hu Qi and Shen Congnian looked at each other and looked at each other, both grinning, waiting to see a good show.

While Wang Zhong, Sun Jian and the others looked a little solemn, and they were also a little surprised why Wu Xin spoke like that.

Zhao Zilong still looked at Wu Xin calmly, watching what the other party said.

Sure enough, after Wu Xin paused, his tone changed: "But, what if the soldiers find out that the commander's order is wrong?" Do you still want to carry out this command? ”

"Haven't you heard that the general will be dishonored by the king's order outside?

"The battlefield changes instantaneously, and if you still cling to the original order, it will cause heavy casualties."

"Now the outer positions are basically lost, and the city of Nanjing has been completely surrounded by the Japanese army. Zhao Zilong raised the question of retreat at this time, is there a problem? Moreover, he just raised it in front of us people, we are officers, and officers should not have a view of the overall situation, and all aspects must be thought of and prepared? ”

Wu Xin's words suddenly made Wang Jiu's face red and white, and he had nothing to say for a long time.

There was also a silence.

"Commander Tang!"

Zhao Zilong turned his head, looked at Tang Zhixin, pulled the corners of his mouth, and asked with a smile: "The battlefield changes in an instant, it's always right to take precautions, right?" I ask you, what should you do if you retreat? ”

"This? ……”

Tang Zhixin didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

I'm not good at literary and drama conflicts, and I'm a little tired of writing. Fortunately, this little story is also ready to end. The later ones are fighting again, and the plot will be tighter.

Still owes three chapters, and strives to code the word......
