Chapter 171, Revenge of the Japanese

On the defensive line outside Nanjing, the hastily gathered Chinese troops collided with the red-eyed Japanese troops, and a fierce battle began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before the war began, Lao Jiang, who said that he wanted to live and die with Nanjing City, left Nanjing City and went to Chongqing, the capital of Nanjing, and entrusted the whole of Nanjing to Tang Shengzhi.

Perhaps, the word trust is a bit inappropriate...... All in all, Tang Shengzhi, who was appointed commander of the Nanjing garrison, was finally able to command hundreds of thousands of troops that had long been subordinate to his name.

For a commander, this is absolutely a great sorrow.

What Tang Shengzhi thought, no one knows, but in order to let the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing see his determination, he burned all the ferries in the entire Nanjing City, which means that the remaining soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City have no way out.

Perhaps he was expecting his troops to fight back the Japanese...... However, just in case, he left himself a ferry in a hidden place.

Not to mention what Tang Shengzhi did in order to make his troops recognize him as quickly as possible, at this time, the Japanese were also preparing to attack the city.

Persuasion to surrender, this is a deliberate consideration of the Japanese, although they are absolutely sure that they can occupy the city of Nanjing, but the losses that can be avoided must be avoided.

The Japanese planes flew over the city of Nanking with a roar, and instead of dropping powerful bombs, they dropped a large number of leaflets, which were used to persuade them to surrender.

However, the Japanese plan obviously failed, and the Chinese troops in Nanking did not change any gratifying changes because of their actions, and they were still actively preparing for battle, preparing to fight their enemies to the death.

After the persuasion failed, it was naturally the beginning of the offensive.

However, before the war officially began, the Japanese base camp issued an order that excited many Japanese, and this order was the beginning of all the disasters in Nanjing.

In fact, the original battle plan of the Japanese base camp did not have the option of attacking the city of Nanjing, because in their consideration, the victory of the Battle of Songhu had already caused their army to suffer heavy losses and exhaustion, and a rash attack might encounter Waterloo, and if the city of Nanjing was kept, it would also bring huge trouble to the Chinese government.

After all, this is the capital, and the Chinese army will not defend it at that time, nor will it give up, which will not only be able to hold back a large number of elite Chinese troops, but also increase the bargaining chips for the Japanese in possible negotiations in the future.

However, their plan was ruined by those rash action troops, and those troops who had been obedient like good babies actually came down and marched to Nanjing City on their own.

In desperation, the Japanese base camp could only change its plan and instead ordered other troops to march to Nanjing City at once.

In order to be able to bring sufficient deterrence to the Chinese military and civilians, the Japanese base camp issued a top-secret order to all the troops below.

Although the old members of the base camp wanted to stop this, the new faction, carried away by the victory, had nothing to fear.

"Order, after the successful capture of the city of Nanjing, carry out a proper massacre!"
