125. Chapter 123

Lin Feng could not have imagined that the Kuomintang army of 150,000 would be defeated in less than a month after defending the city, and millions of citizens of Nanjing would be thrown to Little Japan, the butcher of war. Let a bunch of human wolves deal with hundreds of thousands of unarmed citizens! In the Battle of Songhu, wherever the Japanese army went, they killed people and set fires, raped and looted, and did all kinds of evil. Lin Feng could already smell a smell of death. The devil's entry into the city means the coming of the calamity of the citizens of Nanjing.

Lin Feng felt that he had the intention to kill the thief, but he was powerless to return to the sky. With this little soldier at hand, how can he save the citizens of Nanjing from fire and water!

Lin Feng led the Falcon Special Combat Team and watched the devils kill people everywhere in the city, but they couldn't save each other. Tragedy after tragedy is happening right in front of you. As a soldier, Lin Feng could only close his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it! He took the falcons and hid in Tibet in order to avoid the pursuit of devils. Captain Ou Long was so angry that he scolded his mother, Hu Lai held a dog stick several times, and fought hard with the devil! However, Lin Feng strictly ordered every team member to obey the command in all actions. I can only endure it! Because the Falcons have their own mission.

Xiao Shanling, the commander of the garrison, said that he would not leave anything, and he wanted to use his death to arouse the sense of national self-improvement of the Chinese soldiers. The defeat of the Chinese, in addition to backwardness, more importantly, the national army did not have a stubborn will to resist. If Chiang Kai-shek had devoted all his strength to the Communists from the September 18 Incident, he would have had the passive situation of today's War of Resistance. If Zhang Xueliang desperately resists the little devils, will Little Japan still be so rampant? Will there be a disgraceful battle for Songhu? Without the Battle of Songhu, what would have been the Nanjing Massacre? History, sometimes a person's attitude, actually rewrites history. One wrong step, one wrong step. Little Japan was the murderer of 30 million Chinese compatriots, and Chiang Kai-shek could not escape its involvement! And those soldiers and the scum of the nation who do not resist.

Nanjing is crying! Purple Mountain is crying! Every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, the Chinese nation, which has a history of 5,000 years of civilization, was darkened in this bloody war because of the weakness and incompetence of those in power.

On December 12th, Nanjing's dangerous city has become a broken city, Zhonghua Gate, Zhongshan Gate and other positions have been broken through, outside the city, only the main peak of Purple Mountain is still in the hands of the teaching corps. The 36th Division, which was stationed at the pass, had been transferred into the city to prepare for street fighting with the Japanese army.

At about 2 o'clock in the morning, Tang Shengzhi's garrison commander received urgent calls one after another. Tang Shengzhi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his dysentery body was even thinner. Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to retreat, knowing that as soon as his troops left, Nanjing would become a sea of corpses and blood. He is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to protect the safety of ordinary people. However, he had to go, and the soldiers made obedience their duty. He was so annoyed that he just gulped down his cigarette. Suddenly, he threw the cigarette butt:

"Call the Commander of Transport."

Transport Commander Zhou Aoshan is Tang Shengzhi's old subordinate, when Tang Shengzhi was in charge of Hunan, Zhou Aoshan served: Director of Education, and served as a staff member by Tang Shengzhi's side for a long time. Hearing Tang Shengzhi call him at this time, he already understood a little in his heart, Commander Tang was afraid that he was about to prepare to retreat to Jiangbei.

"The situation in Nanjing is already like this, how are you preparing for transportation?" Tang Shengzhi's mind really made him guess correctly.

"I should do everything in my power to meet the need." Zhou Aoshan hurriedly replied.

"I'm asking how much transport power do you control?" Tang Shengzhi was dissatisfied with Zhou Aoshan's answer.

Zhou Aoshan said: "There are more than 2,000 sailing boats and 13 engine wheels available on the river. Combined, it is not a problem to transport 6,000 people at a time. But ......" Zhou Aoshan said this, and stopped talking.

"Go on!"

"However, these means of transport are not all under my command, but are controlled by individual parts, and it is difficult to mobilize."

"I'll ask Song Xilian of the 36th Division to assist you in taking charge of the means of transport, and go to handle it quickly!"

In fact, Tang Shengzhi was not sure whether this order would work. Most of his troops are not his, and orders are often discounted. Tang Shengzhi thought hatefully: If his soldiers were replaced by his old Hunan army, they would not have been defeated so badly.

Just thinking about it, Liao Ken, chief of staff, and Tan Daoping, chief of the first section of the staff office, were summoned to arrive, and Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing and Zhou Wei also gathered in Tang Shengzhi's office.

Tang Shengzhi said to Liao and Tan with a grim face:

"Now the city of Nanjing has been breached by the Japanese army and cannot be defended. The chairman has ordered us to retreat, so hurry up and draw up a retreat order!" ”

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th, fierce gunfire had been heard in many places in Nanjing, and the first unit defending the city had started a fierce street battle with the Japanese troops who had broken through. The city of Nanjing is filled with gunsmoke. Tang Shengzhi urgently summoned Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, Zhou Bin, Yu Nianci and generals above the division commander to convene the last meeting in the Nanjing garrison. Tang Shengzhi spoke first: "Nanjing is now very critical, and a small number of enemies have rushed into the city. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the air was chilling. At this time, I saw Tang Shengzhi take out a telegram: "Chairman Jiang called: If the situation cannot be punctual for a long time, you can retreat to plan for the future." ”

After reading the telegram, the staff officer silently sent everyone a retreat order and a breakthrough plan. Everyone eagerly unfolded the order, only to see that it read:

The commander of the capital garrison commanded the battle order No. 1

Right order

Commander Tang Shengzhi

The generals present silently read the orders and the breakout plan, and the indescribable silence stimulated everyone's nerves.

Tang Shengzhi's hoarse voice broke the silence, as if it had floated from a long distance, wandering in the air: "The war does not end today, but continues tomorrow; The war did not end in the garrison of Nanjing, but extended indefinitely beyond Nanjing, please remember today's shame and avenge today's hatred! Each unit should point out the commander in command, and if he is unable to command because the unit is out of control, he may cross the river with me. ”

It was dark, the Purple Mountain was full of fires, and the flames in the areas of Yuhuatai, Zhonghua Gate and Tongji Gate were as bright as day, and the city of Nanjing was in chaos.

Tang Shengzhi took one last look at his own office of the Commander's Headquarters for only 22 days, silently took out 500 yuan and 20 bottles of gasoline and handed them to the guards, turned around and got into the car without looking back. Behind him was the roaring flames of the office where the guards burned the papers. This fire burned Tang Shengzhi's sonorous oath and strong determination to coexist with Nanjing.

Tang Shengzhi stood at the garrison headquarters, listening to the sound of guns and cannons in the distance, smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and involuntarily shed tears. Sadly, he left with his subordinates and served as the garrison headquarters for twenty-two days
