Chapter 227: The Battle of Nanjing
"Dong Gang!"
Han Xin nodded, from Dong Gang's body, he saw the blood of a real man, this is a man who can shroud himself in horse leather for the country.
As the saying goes, generals choose soldiers, and soldiers also choose generals.
Just when Han Xin was secretly observing Dong Gang, Dong Gang was also looking at Han Xin.
In Han Xin, Dong Gang also saw the wisdom and calmness of an excellent general, as well as the affection and righteousness for his subordinates.
Coupled with Han Xin's heartfelt words before, Dong Gang secretly judged in his heart on the spot that this was a general worthy of his follow.
"Regiment commander, from now on I will be your soldier, whether it is charging into battle or bleeding and dying, as long as you give an order, I will definitely not hesitate for half a minute."
Looking at Dong Gang's rough and resolute face, Han Xin said solemnly: "Okay, Gangzi, since this is the case, from now on, there will be no more divisional headquarters direct guard battalions, only Dong Gang, the commander of the fourth battalion of my 388th regiment!"
"Captain!" Dong Gang was moved.
Han Xin smiled and patted Dong Gang on the shoulder, as Han Xin expected, Dong Gang was an excellent general, and he had a high prestige among the more than 2,000 defenders, and after he showed his attitude, the other more than 2,000 defenders also expressed their vows to follow Han Xin.
At this moment, the 388 regiment again approached three thousand troops.
But even so, the situation is not optimistic.
A few kilometers away, tens of thousands of Japanese troops were already gathering momentum and gradually approaching.
With less than 3,000 remnants of Han Xin and others, backward equipment and lack of ammunition, they fought against tens of thousands of elite troops of devils.
Thinking about it at any time and from any angle seems a bit fantastical.
Once the war starts, the defenders of less than 3,000 will probably not be able to stop a charge of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, no matter how desperate they are.
However, the fact that these thousands of defenders could still stand here, without showing any flinch or fear in their eyes, had already shown their firm determination.
Such a bloody soldier made Han Xin feel gratified.
But Han Xin never hid anything, and said with a little temptation: "Brothers, it already says everything that you can still stand here now."
"It's just that I still want to ask, this battle is ten deaths, are you not afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" All the defenders shouted in unison.
"I also heard that many soldiers and generals have received the news and fled from Nanjing City in advance, although they may be infamous, but they can survive after all, but you stay here to die, and you don't regret it?"
"No regrets!"
"Then I'm wondering, are you stupid or what?
You think you're heroic? As everyone knows, even if you die here today, there will definitely not be many people who will know about it!
Have you really made up your mind? ”
"Captain!"
Dong Gang stood up, and his resolute and rough face appeared in front of everyone.
"I know you're tempting us, but I want to tell you on behalf of the brothers that the brothers are fighting hard with the little devils, not for any fame!
We only know that when our capital was violated by devils, and when our people were persecuted by little devils, there was resentment and pain in our hearts, and we were not willing to be turtles with shrunken heads anymore and continue to retreat, real men, how could we tolerate it? That's all there is to it! ”
"That's enough, a good sentence is enough!"
Han Xin spoke loudly.
"Since you are not afraid of death, then now, evacuate all of them from Zhonghua Gate and retreat three kilometers!"
…… For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot, looking at Han Xin in disbelief.
"Commander, I said, brothers are not afraid of death, we are not willing to retreat!"
Dong Gang seemed to be disappointed and spoke, he originally thought that Han Xin was a bloody general, but he didn't expect to give such a ridiculous order.
Dong Gang's words fell, and the more than 2,000 defenders also expressed their positions.
"Yes, Commander, we are not afraid of death!"
"That's it, it's a big deal, the little devil wants to invade Nanjing City, unless he steps on my corpse."
"Fight! Battalion commander, since we have met another regiment commander with a shrunken turtle, let's do it ourselves. ”
At the time of life and death, the courage of the soldiers became more and more great, and one of the soldiers shouted out unceremoniously.
The moment these words fell, more than two thousand defenders all looked at Han Xin's face.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
But others don't know Han Xin, Lu Guangwei and others are naturally familiar, and they know from the bottom of their hearts that their head definitely doesn't mean this.
"Who said that, there is a kind of stand up for Lao Tzu!"
"That is, who is our leader? How can a hero who stands up to the sky be as unbearable as you imagined? How can you insult you! ”
Lu Guangwei and the others naturally did not allow others to insult Han Xin, and immediately scolded the more than 2,000 defenders.
The scene was tense for a while, and the two sides fought if they disagreed
And just as Dong Gang was worried, Han Xin suddenly laughed, instantly breaking the murderous aura of both sides.
"Yes, you are all good, you are all flesh-and-blood soldiers, I am not wrong about you."
"But what I want to say is that since you choose to follow me, you should trust me unreservedly.
I asked you to retreat to the Zhonghua Gate, definitely not to retreat, but to have other plans, are you just relying on a momentary conjecture to question or even disagree with me? ”
Han Xin's words quickly silenced the defenders, and after a period of hot-headedness, they did quickly find out that Han Xin's order just now only told them to retreat 3 kilometers, and did not mean to let them escape.
Is it really a misunderstanding of this regimental leader?
The defenders began to be a little confused.
"Commander, what do you mean?"
Seeing Dong Gang asking, Han Xin didn't ramble anymore, and said bluntly: "The Japanese army is fierce, numerous, and well-equipped, and the gap between us is too great compared to the strength of the army, and it is definitely not a wise way to fight hard."
So I'm going to put up an empty plan for the little devils! ”
"Empty City Plan!"
Dong Gang was stunned, and the more than 2,000 defenders and even Lu Guangwei and others were all stunned.
Many people are even thinking in their hearts: I'm a good girl, what is this head doing? It's still empty, but the enemy now is little Japan!
But Han Xing swore an oath, and even looked confident, Lu Guangwei's people naturally quickly lost their suspicions, but Dong Gang was the first time he came into contact with Han Xin after all.
At the moment, he wondered: "Commander, what is the empty city plan?" How to retreat from the enemy? ”
Han Xin smiled, his expression was mysterious, and even the tension before the battle was forgotten by the soldiers.
"What is an empty city plan? Listen to me tell you slowly......"
