Wu Tie pursed his lips with a smile and said, "Look at that devil's bear-like appearance." ”

"Haha......" Zhu Yanhuo smiled: "Brother, do you regret it?" ”

Wu Tie said with difficulty: "Oh, there is nothing to regret when you come to the National Youth League, if you want to regret it, it is that you did not marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhu Yanhuo smiled: "When you get to Lord Yama, you are marrying!" I see that the female doll you are holding in your hand is quite standard, and you will marry her when you go down to the underworld! ”

Wu Tie smiled: "Will people who are so beautiful take a fancy to me?" ”

"What's up! You are now a hero! Zhu Yanhuo said: "When the time comes, I will help you set off fireworks, and I will do the fireworks well, and all the people from ten miles and eight villages will come to my house to buy, especially when it comes to the New Year." Yes! It's almost the New Year! Iron-struck, iron-struck ......" Zhu Yanhuo looked back and saw that Wu Tie had bled too much and sacrificed him, and he hugged the girl tightly, with that longing smile on his face.

Zhu Yanhuo sighed and said, "It's almost, I'm going to leave too." He shouted, "Devil, grandpa has made a noise for you!" ”

The oil depot on the airport exploded with the shouts of the fireworks and rushed into the sky, and then the ammunition depot also exploded, sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks set off on Chinese New Year's Eve, as brilliant and beautiful, Shaofan and the other team members looked at the fire in the distance and were silent, they knew that Wu Tie and Zhu fireworks would never come back.

Tani Toshio and Tanaka Toshiro looked at the messy airport with confusion and anger in their eyes, and they began to vent this anger on the people of Nanjing. From January 197 to May 198, Nanjing, the capital of China, became a dead city, and the population of Nanjing was drastically reduced during the dark reign of the Japanese army for half a year. Kill; Rob; Evil deeds such as adultery can be described as innumerable, and they are heinous to human beings all over the world.

Toshiro Tanaka and Toshio Tani reported to Jon in order to be able to shirk their responsibilities. Rabem died of a serious illness in Nanjing, and concealed all the incidents of the special detachment of the National Youth League and the mysterious sniper, so the planes of Shaofan and others were not pursued by other Japanese air forces, and they flew safely to Xuzhou.

The city of Nanking has finally come out, as terrible and incredible as a nightmare, Jon. Labem was rescued, but Shen Shaofan's beloved was missing, but he always believed that Jin Xiwen would be alive.

The Battle of Songhu failed, although the National Youth League tried its best and still failed, but the National Youth League did not lose confidence and self-confidence, and they are reloading their teams to prepare for a new battle. One battle failed, but another battle began, and the squadron and the Japanese army began new preparations for Xuzhou, which was the key point of the three provinces.

Xuzhou, the city that occupies the most special geographical position in China, is the gateway to the south and the key to the north, and the Jinpu line and the Longhai line converge with Henan; Shandong; The three provinces of Anhui are also the throat of China's north and south, and Xuzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers from ancient times to the present. The Nationalist Government was well aware of this, after the defeat in the Battle of Songhu, the main force began to deploy a large-scale defensive campaign along the Jinpu Line and the Longhai Line with Xuzhou as the center.

All the officers in the Commander's Department of the Fifth Theater of Xuzhou were fiercely arguing about the defense of Jiangbei, and although the Japanese Central China Front stopped in Nanjing, they knew more about the defeat in the Xinkou battlefield; Niangzi Pass is lost; The defeat of the Battle of Taiyuan, including the Battle of Songhu on the Southern Front, and a series of defeats made them feel hairy in their hearts. A faction of defenders, led by Li Zongren, the commander of the Fifth Theater, advocated the strategy of spreading fortifications on the Jinpu and Longhai railway lines with Xuzhou as the center, blocking the Japanese army's northward and southward advance, and breaking the Japanese army's north-south line. The other faction was the northward marching faction led by Tang Shengzhi, the former commander of the Nanjing garrison, who advocated using Xuzhou as an offensive base and plunging the main force into the southern front battlefield, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had just crossed the Yangtze River to the north, and the foundation was stable, taking the initiative to attack, concentrating superior forces to drive the Japanese army south of the Yangtze River, and then using the dangerous Yangtze River as the defensive foundation for long-term defense. The two sides are quarrelling, and each has its own opinion.

Li Zongren couldn't help touching his forehead because of the headache they were making and said: "Now that the strength of our army is not easy to take the initiative, I think it is better to stick to the Jinpu line and the Longhai line. ”

Tang Shengzhi said excitedly: "We need a victory if we lose in consecutive battles. ”

"Brother Tang, don't make trouble here." Li Zongren really couldn't stand Tang Shengzhi's behavior, and last month his generous speech was made the commander of the garrison by the chairman of the National People's Committee, but after a few days of guarding, he abandoned his troops and ran for a sworn defense of Nanjing, which became the greatest shame in Chinese history.

Tang Shengzhi still refused to admit defeat and said: "We have reached the point where there is no way to retreat; If we can't defend it, we will face the pain of losing our country if we defend it again. ”

"That's it!" Li Zongren scolded: "Enough, I don't want to listen to high-profile here." Meng Xiao! I don't think we need to talk about offense and defense, and with our current military strength, it is already very good to be able to defend well on the battlefield in Xuzhou. ”

"I'm not so pessimistic." Tang Shengzhi said: "If Delin does not dare to send troops, I am willing to be a pioneer and show my loyalty!" ”

Tang Shengzhi's words were quite touching and generous, and the people present were speechless, Li Zongren was really helpless by Tang Shengzhi, so agree! The lack of military strength to send the army into the mouth of the tiger is absolutely impossible, don't agree! It seems that the war has a negative attitude, and it is difficult to explain it in front of the people. Only now did he know how the chairman felt in Nanjing last month. He leaned back in his chair, a hint of tiredness.

At this time, a person in the back row by the window of the conference hall stood up and said, "Chiefs, don't you know if I can say a few words?" "He is Sun Zhiyu, chief of staff of the National Youth League.

Li Zongren smiled and said, "Let's go! Anyway, today's meeting is all about brainstorming and speaking freely. ”

Sun Zhiyu walked out of his seat and said, "Commanders may know that our National Youth League is the last and only unit to withdraw from Nanjing. At present, there are still many soldiers of various divisions and regiments waiting to be rebuilt in our troops, and as to whether our army will attack or defend, I, as a lieutenant colonel commander, have no qualifications to express my opinion here. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zongren stood up and said, "Yes! What happened to Nanjing? ”

At that time, the Nanjing Massacre was still going on, and the Chinese and Japanese troops blocked all the news, so the ** generals didn't know much about what happened in Nanjing?

Sun Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Chief Tang kept saying that he wanted to live and die with Nanjing, put on a posture of fighting against the water, and blew up all the ships on the river, and on the 10th, the devils began to attack Nanjing, and the battle was very cruel and fierce, and the Japanese army went to Guanghuamen in Nanjing; Purple Mountain; Yuhuashi launched a fierce attack, but with little effect, the soldiers of each division and regiment fought very bravely, but on the night of the 1st, all units received a telegram of retreat from Commander Tang at the same time, and then Commander Tang retreated first, and crossed the river in a motorboat left for himself, the troops had no commander, and the whole army collapsed instantly and was defeated without a fight, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were slaughtered at Zhongshan Wharf in front of the Rujiang Gate, which was all thanks to Commander Tang's generous statement. How can a commander who reneges on his oath and abandons his subordinates and the people show his loyalty. If it weren't for your patriotic statements, Nanjing wouldn't have died so many people. Trouble Commander Tang to make the order clear when leading the troops in the future, even if it is to retreat, you must have a detailed plan. ”

Tang Shengzhi said: "You saw with your own eyes that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the Zhongshan Wharf were shot dead by the Japanese army? ”

Sun Zhiyu didn't know how to answer for a while because he didn't see it with his own eyes.

"Now there is no news from Nanjing, don't speculate." Tang Shengzhi reprimanded Sun Zhiyu with a commanding tone.

The officers at the table also began to discuss.

"I don't think the Japanese will shoot the prisoners!"

"Not allowed!"

"We don't know what happens to Nanjing now!"

…………

"I know!" Walking from the door of the venue, a major general officer with the smell of gunpowder smoke -- Shen Shaofan.

Shen Shaofan came to Li Zongren first, stood up and saluted: "Report to Chief Li!" Shen Shaofan, head of the National Youth League, was ordered to report to the Fifth War Zone. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zongren smiled and said, "The commission has been thinking about you!" ”

"Sir, Jon. Rabem has been safely escorted to Chongqing. Shen Shaofan said.

"Good! It's good to be back! Li Zongren stood up with a smile and patted Shaofan.

Shen Shaofan looked at Tang Shengzhi with an expressionless face and said, "It's a pity! There are a lot of people who didn't come back. ”

"Quick, how is Nanjing now?" Li Zongren said.

Shen Shaofan walked up to Tang Shengzhi and said: "Nanjing is now a hell devil, like a group of brutes, they kill people everywhere and set fire to Zhongshan Wharf; Swallow Rock; Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Straw Shoes Gorge were massively slaughtered, countless women were burned to death by devils*, and everywhere there were dead people; those who were buried alive; Women who have been shot and killed are everywhere. Homicide; Set; Robbery; * Filled our capital, even the refugee camps run by foreigners have not escaped disaster. ”

Shaofan walked around the venue, recounting everything he saw in Nanjing, and the whole venue was quiet, and some officers secretly wiped their tears with handkerchiefs.

Shen Shaofan returned to Tang Shengzhi's side and continued: "The Japanese army did not leave any prisoners at all, and when they saw our soldiers, they just said 'kill'. If Commander Tang had kept his oath in Nanjing, and lived and died with Nanjing, I think the soldiers of our army would rather die in battle than be captured and shot, but Commander Tang hastily issued an order to retreat, neither the direction of retreat, nor the rear of the palace, the troops had no retreat tools, nor did they revoke the city defense order, more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians had a shootout with our own army in Rujiangmen, and after breaking through Rujiangmen, they were besieged by devils on the Zhongshan wharf and killed alive by machine guns, and some wanted to cross the river to escape, but the Yangtze River in December! They all froze to death. Shaofan became more and more excited, tears began to roll in his eyes, and he rushed to Tang Shengzhi with a brisk stride, and said with a punch in his mouth: "This punch is for the people who died in Nanjing." ”

Tang Shengzhi was beaten all over the ground and looked for teeth, and said as he crawled out: "He beat the commander and arrested him." ”

"Enough! Meng Xiao, you are really a shame for the best of us, I think you should go back to your hometown in Hunan to live an idle life! Li Zongren stood up and said, "Let's dismiss!" Meng Xiao! I'll call the commissioner. Then he came to Shaofan and said, "Go back and wash and come to me tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" Shaofan stood up and saluted again.

After Li Zongren walked out of the venue, Shaofan and Zhiyu smiled at each other and hugged each other.

Zhiyu said excitedly: "You son, I thought you wouldn't be able to come back." ”

"The devil who wants to kill me hasn't been born yet!" Shaofan said with a smile.

Sun Zhiyu asked again, "What about the dragons?" ”

"As soon as we got off the plane, we were picked up by Chen Chen and taken back to the regiment headquarters." Shao Fan Dao.

"Okay! We'll also meet soon. Zhiyu took the military hat and said, "We will wash the dust for you." And take you to meet someone. ”

"Who?" Shen Shaofan asked suspiciously.

Sun Zhiyu smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you get to the regiment headquarters." ”

The number of troops in Xuzhou increased unabated, and along the way, they not only sheltered stragglers, but also many young people joined the National Youth League, and the number of people in Xuzhou exceeded nearly 60,000 people, of course, most of them were going to return to their original troops, and the National Youth League was ordered to enter Maocun, the northern suburb of Xuzhou, where they rested and waited for new orders.
