Chapter 173, Intrigues

After getting that the periphery of Nanjing City had been completely lost, Li Shunsheng immediately led most of his troops to attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the urgency of time, Li Shunsheng rarely chose to take advantage of the night to march quickly, he wanted to rush to Nanjing before the biggest tragedy happened.

This may not necessarily change the catastrophe that is about to happen, but no matter what, we must do our best to reduce the damage.

Although it was a rare hurried march at night, the performance of the young soldiers of this unit under Li Shunsheng was indeed very satisfactory.

Before leaving, Li Shunsheng informed everyone of the destination of their trip, and he told everyone very bluntly that this trip to Nanjing may be a journey with no return.

However, his words did not scare anyone, but succeeded in boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Whether it was the soldiers who came back from abroad with Li Shunsheng because of the anti-Japanese resistance or the remnants of the defeated generals in the Battle of Songhu that were later recruited, their eyes were burning with raging flames.

As the distance from the city of Nanking got closer, the atmosphere in the ranks began to become solemn, and many scouts were sent out, and at this time there was a high probability that they would encounter the Japanese, or the scattered friendly forces.

It doesn't matter if you encounter the former, you just need to fight with the other party with a gun, but the latter is really easy to cause unnecessary accidental injuries.

The night was thick, but the headquarters that Tang Shengzhi had established in a hidden place was brightly lit at this time, and there was a smell of panic in the coming and going.

"Commander, the chairman of the committee telegram!" A telegram from Lao Jiang made Tang Shengzhi, who was sitting at the conference table discussing the battle situation, and the senior officers stood up straight with a snap.

"The commission order, if the battle situation in Nanjing reaches the point of no return, Commander Tang can retreat and save the living force......"

Lao Jiang came down with a high-sounding word, and he didn't mean anything else, but told Tang Shengzhi very bluntly: If you can't stand it, withdraw quickly, I won't blame you for losing Nanjing City.

Tang Shengzhi's brows jumped slightly when he heard this order, he didn't believe that Lao Jiang would really be so kind.

"Call back to the commission, just say that since I, Tang Shengzhi, said that I would live and die with Nanjing City, I would naturally do what I said." Although he was suspicious, Tang Shengzhi still relied on his experience in fighting Lao Jiang for many years to reply to Lao Jiang's order.

Hearing his commander's reply, most of the officers present couldn't help but be shocked.

However, not long after, Lao Jiang's second telegram really broke through Tang Shengzhi's mental defense.

Therefore......

"Ladies and gentlemen, Nanjing City can no longer be defended, and there is no point in us holding on any longer, just making senseless sacrifices." Tang Shengzhi's attitude has changed drastically from before, after all, not everyone can see through life and death without fear.

"But Commander, Nanjing is our capital! And you also said that you want to live and die with Nanjing! If you abandon the city now......"

"It's okay!" Tang Shengzhi stopped the officer from continuing, "As long as the commission doesn't blame us for losing Nanjing, it's fine!" ”

"The order goes down, there is no possibility of holding the city of Nanjing, order all the cameras to act and break through on their own." In order to leave the dangerous place of Nanjing City as soon as possible, Tang Shengzhi didn't even have the heart to do it by specifying a retreat plan for his troops.

But this is normal, those troops are not his own, even if he loses all of them, he will not have any distress......

However, his order could not be issued, because the only telegraph in his headquarters actually broke down at this time.

Faced with this situation, Tang Shengzhi just said indifferently: Let's withdraw first, go to a safe place and then give them an order!
