December 27, Wuchang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wuhan Wuchang Provincial Government Office, Lao Jiang's temporary residence.

Four days after the government arrived in Wuhan, it was decided that Chongqing Wei would accompany the capital temporarily. However, some of the government are on the way, some are in Wuhan, and Lao Jiang lives in Wuchang.

Lao Chiang has made a lot of preparations for the next phase of the campaign these days. Like everyone else, he was concerned about the situation in Nanjing. The battle reports from the city showed that Nanjing could not be held.

This Lu Xiaoming is really an outlier.

Strange, I always felt like having seen him.

At night, Lao Jiang had a strange dream.

He dreamed of the Xi'an incident again, this time, in addition to running out of the bedroom and being caught, he also dreamed that he got on the plane, grabbed this Hanqing with one hand, and grabbed the handrail of the plane with the other, and couldn't live there, it turned out that his waist was grabbed by a person.

The man dreamed of his face with a black cloth, showing only a pair of eyes, and said to himself: "Grenade! ”

Then those eyes said to themselves: "The Soviet Union cannot be trusted. "It's really unreliable."

Lao Jiang woke up suddenly. He found himself sweating profusely.

He immediately understood who this young man would be in the path that had almost fallen from the sky. It's the one who held himself hostage at Xi'an Airport!

I recognize these eyes! In this world, it is impossible to find a second pair of such eyes.

According to Dai Li's information, the whereabouts of someone on his road at the end of 1936 were unknown, and it was judged that he should have gone to Xi'an. Connecting these things, he finally understood.

A wave of hatred welled up in my heart.

By now, Xiao Lu felt that he should retreat, because he only had more than 20,000 people in his hands, and in addition to the wounded, there were 20,000 combatants. At the beginning, German weapons were used, and the ammunition was exhausted, and by the next two or three days Japanese weapons were used. Xiaolu had already transported a large amount of surplus German-made weapons out of the city of Nanjing, where they were buried in the trenches of the Purple Mountain.

At present, his people can still go to the Purple Mountain, which has already been surrounded.

At present, only a few high-ranking generals, such as Li Lanchi, Wan Yi, Zhu Chi, Wan Quance, Xie Chengrui, Lan Yundong, and Luo Cequn, are still there, and the other senior generals, those who died in battle, and those who were wounded were all transported away, and a few who could not get along and were also sent away. They promised not to tell Lao Jiang any details, and planned to retreat bravely, or retire to the people, or go abroad.

In the battle report, Xiaolu recounted the deeds of the fallen generals in detail, which was used to encourage everyone.

Another reason why Xiaolu had to retreat was because he didn't have much food in his hands. A few days ago, the food on the trail had been eaten, and these days it is all food collected from the people's homes. However, it was more difficult to collect food, and the Japanese army was also collecting food.

At present, the ammunition of the captured Japanese troops is still sufficient, but the food is only enough for three days.

Xiaolu sent a telegram to the base camp, asking for food to be sent in, but the other party said that it could not be done. Asking for the wounded to be taken out also did not work. Evacuation was requested, but the base camp was not allowed, and it was asked to hold out for another month. At present, the nation's anti-Japanese confidence is insufficient, and it cannot dampen everyone's confidence. If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will die, and this soldier's integrity is also!

The tone is harsh.

The officer defending the city suddenly received such a stern order, and his heart felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his morale was suddenly low.

By today, the garrison of the city has completely separated from the base camp.

On December 30, Koji called a meeting of all senior officers to discuss the timing of the evacuation.

Xiaolu said: "Everyone, everyone knows that we are running out of food, and we can only hold on for two or three days. We have only 40,000 people, and we have eliminated more than 70,000 devils, 20,000 more than the Battle of Songhu, attracted hundreds of thousands of devils, and consumed hundreds of millions of military supplies of devils. Most importantly, we have encouraged the confidence of the people of the whole country in the war of resistance. For that alone, we are dead and worth it. However, we can't die, we have to retreat, why retreat, everyone knows, I won't say it. Retreat scenarios are discussed below. ”

All the officers agreed that it was time to retreat. Hold on any longer, and the team will disperse.

Some also said, "The base camp has decided to abandon us." We should not abandon ourselves on our own. I agree to retreat. ”

Xiaolu said: "Hello. What we need to discuss now is, first, the retreat plan and route, second, how to take away the 2,000 wounded, and third, the way out after the evacuation of Nanjing. ”

The first thing he discussed was the way forward. Xiaolu proposed to ask everyone to go to the northeast with him to resist the Japanese, except for Zhu Chi and Lan Yundong, the others warmly agreed. The strength in Zhu Chi's hands is very strong, and there are 5,000 people under his hands.

Xiaolu said: "Both of them are descendants of Huangpu and are talents. But have you ever wondered what you will do when you go out? Principal Jiang doesn't hate bear bags and can use bastards, but the only thing that can't be forgiven is the disobedient people. We are not willing to be abandoned, and we must break through. The base camp is not allowed, how will you get along with your principal in the future? ”

They are already familiar with each other these days and speak very bluntly.

The two immediately stopped talking. After a long time, Zhu Equator said: "Okay, I'll do it with you." ”

Lan Yundong also said: "Okay, I did it with you too." Let's go to the Northeast. ”

Xiaolu was calm and said, "I know, you will choose this path." According to our old rules, when you go to the Northeast, try not to show the dew of the mountains, try not to meet Mr. Jiang, and it is not a big problem to do this. That way, your family will be safe. ”

Several officers had no worries at all.

Xiaolu said: "Okay. We discuss evacuation routes and evacuation options. Ladies and gentlemen, I repeat that I believe you, but the content of today's discussion is absolutely confidential, and if it is leaked, then we will die without a place to bury. I don't trust the base camp, Japanese infiltration is omnipresent. That's why, on the one hand, I publish battle reports in a big way, and on the other hand, I keep the battle plan strictly secret. ”

December 31, morning, Nanjing.

Xiaolu issued the No. 41 battle report: "I am Lu Xiaoming, commander of the Nanjing garrison. This is my last report on the defense of Nanjing. Since the beginning of the defense of Nanjing on December 9, with the help and guidance of the base camp and the help of friendly troops, our 47,000 Nanjing garrison troops have fought hard and have been fighting hard for 23 days. In the past 23 days, we have annihilated more than 70,000 Japanese devils, exploded nearly 100 enemy tanks, shot down five enemy planes, consumed a large amount of military supplies of the Japanese, and delayed the advance of the Japanese devils. ”

"The Chinese who have awakened will forge the road of independence with the determination and perseverance of the world."

"The enemy's dream of a quick victory went bankrupt ahead of schedule."

"We have very few people left, and we will fight to the end for China's anti-Japanese cause."

"We will continue to fight."

"China will never give in."

"Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed! Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhi hunger eats Hulu meat, laughs and thirsts for Hun blood. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky! ”
