Chapter 193: Nanjing Crisis Go to Nanjing

Japan's pace of aggression against China has never stopped since the July 7 Incident, and at the same time as the war in the Second Theater was raging, the pace of Japanese aggression against China in other places was also approaching step by step.

Since November, after the Japanese invading army occupied Shanghai, the Japanese army under the command of Matsui Ishone, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, attacked Nanjing by multiple routes.

Nanjing crisis, 100,000 urgent!

Tang Shengzhi, commander of the Nanjing garrison, led more than 110,000 troops to set up defenses in Nanjing, determined to defend Nanjing and resist foreign humiliation.

When other theaters heard the news, they also dispatched troops from their respective theaters to Nanjing to assist in the battle to defend Nanjing.

Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Second Theater, was no exception, and he immediately ordered five elite main regiments from the Second Army of the Second Theater, totaling more than 10,000 people, to march to Nanjing to participate in the defense of Nanjing.

In the battle to defend Nanjing, although Chiang Kai-shek swore that he would defend Nanjing with supreme perseverance, even if the body was shrouded in horse leather and bleeding, he would never retreat.

However, the generals who were well aware of the situation on the battlefield all understood that the devils came with great momentum and preparedness, and the aircraft and artillery were even more overwhelming, and the determination to capture Nanjing was fully demonstrated.

This battle for the defense of Nanjing, to put it bluntly, is to fill it with your life, and you don't know how long you can resist, it is definitely a dangerous battle.

Wu Chengren, the commander of the 75th Division, was secretly depressed, the Second Army transferred five regiments, while the Second Army had three divisions, which means that one division only had one regiment.

Therefore, the quota for the transfer of a regiment was naturally very sought-after, and in the end, when all parties were unwilling, Yang Xiaoou, the commander of the Second Army, proposed a lottery decision.

However, Wu Chengren's luck did not seem to be very good, and the probability of 1/3 was still missed by him, and his division needed to send two main regiments to Nanjing to assist in the defense of Nanjing.

And there are three brigades below him, which means that there is another brigade that does not need to be transferred at all, and now Wu Chengren has a headache, these brigade commanders will definitely compete for that place again.

But things seem to have turned out to be beyond Wu Chengren's expectations.

On the same day, Han Xin's application suddenly crossed the brigade headquarters directly and was directly handed over to the division commander Wu Chengren.

The meaning is very clear, he wants to lead the 388th Regiment to participate in the defense of Nanjing.

Wu Chengren was a little hesitant, and he really didn't know how to reply to Han Xin for a while.

First, he knew that Han Xin's true identity was a general of the Eighth Route Army, and at that time, Liu Bocheng told him repeatedly to ask him to protect Han Xin's integrity.

Second, he admired Han Xin and didn't want Han Xin to be sent to death, not to mention that Han Xin's existence was still of great significance to the national army, but they contained the communist army and even swallowed an important part of the communist army.

Third, the current 388 regiment is not the previous Wuhe regiment that can be thrown away at any time, with more than 4,000 troops, if it is lost in vain, Wu Chengren is really a little painful.

So Wu Chengren finally replied to Han Xin and persuaded him: "Comrade Han Xin, think about it again, although the blood for a while is good, it is a reckless act after all."

This battle for the defense of Nanjing is definitely not as simple as you seem, the Japanese army is menacing, and it will bring a devastating blow.

Young people, hot-blooded, I understand, but you also have to think about your own future! You still have a long way to go! ”

But how could Han Xin compromise so easily, he naturally knew what the defense of Nanjing meant, and he also knew what the tragic consequences would happen if the defense of Nanjing failed.

Han Xin didn't know if he should change history, and if he could change history, but the memory of his three lives gave him the butterfly effect that was likely to change history.

So he felt that he should at least give it a try, even if it was to make some effort to make himself have a good conscience.

Then came the horrific tragedy, and he really wished it had never happened.

"Division commander, thank you for your kindness, but what is the soldier's picture? Isn't it just a horse leather shroud to protect the family and defend the country! No matter how dangerous the battle situation is, I am willing to rush there in person, this is my own volition, and I hope that you will support me. ”

Han Xin didn't say much, but showed his resolute attitude.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Chengren couldn't hold back his old face because of what Han Xin said, and coughed dryly: "Okay!" Since you kid is in a hurry to die, why should I stop you, go! ”

"Thank you, Commander!"

The phone hung up, and Wu Chengren scolded angrily in front of Chief of Staff Bi Wenyun: "This little rabbit cub really doesn't know what to do, as if I care about him so much."

"Haha, why worry too much about the division commander, you weren't very confident in this kid before, maybe he can do something shocking in the defense of Nanjing!"

"But then again, the generals of the communist army still have one thing in common."

"What?" Wu Chengren was slightly stunned and asked.

"Don't be afraid of death!"

Wu Chengren was silent for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and asked Bi Wenyun, "Wenyun, you are honest, what do you think of the gangsters?"

"This ...... It's hard to say, but I always feel that it's not as unbearable as Chairman Jiang said. ”

“…… Well, what do you do with these? Wu Chengren changed the topic, and then said: "Let's talk about the matter in front of us, this 756 brigade has a 388 regiment, so the quota of the remaining one regiment will be selected among the other two."

Jingle jingle jingle bell!

The wired phone of the division headquarters rang suddenly, and Bi Wenyun got close and took the phone.

"Hey, huh? I can't do this, the teacher is next to me, and I give him the phone. ”

"Division commander, it's Chu Wenli, the commander of the 358th Regiment."

"Chu Wenli, what is this kid calling for?"

Wu Chengren was curious, and took the phone, "Hey! ”

"Division commander, I don't accept it, since the 388th Regiment can go, why can't I go to the 358th Regiment?"

"What do you say? Make it clear! ”

"Division commander, our 358th Regiment is also going to Nanjing to participate in the defense of Nanjing."

"Nonsense! Is this something that makes you play? Don't you know how dangerous the Battle of Nanjing is? Wu Chengren reacted instantly, and his face was ugly.

"Dangerous? Since I joined the army, I have never taken any danger to heart, I am not even afraid of death, what danger am I afraid of? ”

Chu Wenli's arrogant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, you really take yourself as a hero, you are not afraid of death, but since General Zhang Zhizhong handed you over to me, I will be responsible for your safety.

If you have three longs and two shorts, when the general comes, what will I explain to him? ”

"I'll explain it myself, and besides, even if the general is here, he will support me."

"No......"

"Teacher, I don't care so much, just give me a happy word! Say yes or no? ”

"And what if I say no?"

"Then I'll send troops privately, and I'll leave now, the division headquarters is far away, and you can't stop me at all!" Chu Wen said.

"You ......"

There was silence on the end of the phone for a while, and after a while, Wu Chengren said helplessly: "That's it, I know your temperament, and I can't convince you, so you can go.!"

But you remember it for me, don't let Lao Tzu die there! ”

"Thank you, Commander!" Chu Wenli didn't give any reply, so he hung up the phone directly.

"This kid is bloody! No wonder General Zhang Zhijun admired him. ”

Wu Chengren, who was hung up on the phone, was not angry, he shook his head with a smile and said: "These two boys are still freaks, others are eager to escape from that dangerous place, it's better for the two of them to go!"

"Oh, no! Chu Wenli's kid won't be on the same page as Han Xin's kid, so let's go with him! ”

"I think nine times out of ten, when two excellent people meet together, it is inevitable that there will be some sparks! And Han Xin has also won Yuanding County recently, which is a big stimulus for Chu Wenli. Bi Wenyun analyzed.

"Haha, haha, that's a lot of fun!"

Wu Chengren's laughter spread far away in the division headquarters.

(To be continued, this is Chapter 4!)

I admit that I am not proficient in history, and there will naturally be a lot of historical deviations in the book.

But what I want to say is that this is a change in history with partial permission, and if there is anything wrong, I hope for opinions! Thanks! )
