After the other officers left, Chief Tang waved his hand to the military police officer under him, and the military police officer immediately went out with the guards and closed the door, leaving only him and Master Hu in the room. ”

Master Hu didn't understand, why did Chief Tang suddenly say such things to him? But he soon understood, Chief Tang is indeed riding a tiger now, he patted his chest in front of the chairman of the committee and promised to stick to Nanjing, and let out words to live and die with Nanjing City, but later as soon as he took office, he found that it was not the case at all? Most of these troops in Nanjing were withdrawn from Shanghai, and most of the troops of the Central Army were in the majority, and most of them did not buy him as the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and the only troops he could command were the Guangdong Army and the Gui Army. On the contrary, it made the soldiers and civilians in the city even more panicked, and a large number of refugees in the city fled from Nanjing, and they could not be stopped. The devil's plane desperately bombed the refugees who left the city, and the refugees suffered many casualties, and the city and the city howled and cried again and again, which was unbearable.

"Chief Tang, I've become the commander of the light pole, what else can I help you?" Master Hu decided to probe Chief Tang's tone first.

"Lao Hu, don't make fun of Tang, no matter how much you become the commander of the light pole, you are better than me, I am the commander of the light pole now? You also saw it during the meeting just now, which of those generals of the Central Army will listen to me? You are the person next to the chairman, as long as you can run out, you can immediately pull up a team, and Tang is now in the trap, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is too late to regret it, just think about the fact that after the city of Nanjing was broken, so many people were going to suffer, and Tang felt guilty! "Chief Tang's words are very vague, but Han Fei can hear it, he has already complained a little about the chairman at this time, and he blamed himself for being hot-headed and being a bird, but now he understands that he actually made a shield for the chairman for a while, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, besides, the head Hu in front of him is a person next to the chairman, you can't talk nonsense, even if you suffer a loss, you have to knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, but this time this sin of losing the national capital can't be washed clean by jumping into the Yangtze River!

"Chief Tang, to be honest, as long as you believe me Hu, we will definitely help you, but we only have a total of a few thousand people now, what can we do here? Brother Han not only has a hand in fighting, but also knows how to calculate, he can judge almost every battle on the battlefield in Shanghai, if you don't listen to him, it is estimated that we will not be able to help you. Master Hu hurriedly carried Han Fei out.

"Old Hu, can I say retreat immediately in front of them at this time? That will definitely be chaotic, once it is chaotic, Nanjing City will be even worse, the sooner the devils outside the city will attack it, and then we will really be finished. "After all, Chief Tang has been in the army for many years, and he knows that there must be no chaos at this time, even if he wants to retreat, he has to support it in Nanjing City for a few days, otherwise once the news spreads, it will definitely cause chaos, and those refugees who fled in Nanjing City can fill those who are picked, so that none of them can escape!

"Brother Han doesn't mean to let you announce your evacuation immediately, but to let the people in the city go first, then the troops who stay will have no worries, at this time, it is a street battle with the devil, and you can resist the devil for a few days, the so-called military spirit cannot be defeated, otherwise once it causes chaos in the army's heart, that is when the real tragedy happens." Master Hu hurriedly explained.

"The hearts of the people must not fall! As a soldier, eating the country's money and food, and dying in the war are all responsibilities, but the common people are different, they can't be allowed to suffer with them, and now most of the ships are burned, Chief Tang, please give an order immediately, immediately open all the passages from the north of the city to Pukou, and let the people go first! Han Fei saw that there was still a turn for the better, so he immediately seized the opportunity to suggest to Chief Tang.

Chief Tang was silent, and Master Hu was anxious: "Chief Tang, it's too late, once the devils enter the city, there will be no way to retreat, don't worry, as long as you order the opening of the evacuation channel, we will guarantee the safety over there, and we will never let the devils come in first!" ”

Hearing this assurance from Division Commander Hu, Chief Tang nodded slowly: "Okay, I will immediately order the opening of the riverbank passage, in order to avoid chaos, no notice will be issued for the time being, and the evacuation matters will be the responsibility of Lao Hu, the key to Nanjing's city defense is in the south of the city, and the key to the south of the city is in Zhonghuamen and Yuhuatai, the 88th Division is estimated to be unable to carry it, Lao Hu, there are two reinforced regiments in the military police headquarters under my direct command, how about letting you command?" "Commander Tang asked Division Commander Hu to command these two military police reinforcement regiments, the purpose of which is to strengthen the defense of the area around Yuhuatai and Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing, and to buy more time for the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing.

Division Commander Hu's eyes were rolling and he was still hesitating, but Han Fei thought that this was a good opportunity, and hurriedly signaled to Division Commander Hu to hurry up and agree, those two military police reinforcement regiments are elite troops, all German weapons and equipment, trained by German military advisers, and the combat effectiveness is quite high, if you can get it, it will definitely help to defend Nanjing City and evacuate smoothly.

Master Hu is such a smart person, he immediately sensed Han Fei's meaning, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Okay, it is Hu's business to share the worries for Chief Tang, and Chief Tang can let go of the passage to Jiangbei, which is really the savior of the military and civilians of Nanjing City." ”

Master Hu didn't forget to get a high hat for Chief Tang to wear, and Chief Tang shook his head and said: "Don't bury me, it is estimated that time is running out, go and execute it immediately, those ordinary people in Nanjing City will all depend on you." ”

As soon as Senior Commander Hu heard this, good guy, Chief Tang suddenly put such a heavy courage on him, this is unacceptable, there are at least five or six hundred thousand ordinary people in Nanjing City, and seventy or eighty percent of the ships have been destroyed by your order to burn the boat, and the Yangtze River is not a small river, so how can I retreat with so many people? Especially at this moment of chaos and panic, if something happens, then I, a small lieutenant general, can't afford it.
