Admiral Tang Shengzhi

When it comes to the defense of Nanjing, it is necessary to mention Tang Shengzhi, a general with glasses and a beard, who took the initiative to ask for command of the defense of Nanjing and announced to the world that he would live and die with Nanjing.

In 1981, the Party Central Committee restored Tang Shengzhi's reputation and recognized him as a leading cadre of the revolution.

He graduated from the Baoding Army Military Academy. After entering the army, he started as a probationary officer. Participated in the Xinhai Revolution and the Yuan War. Northern Expedition and other wars.

The war trained him, and he grew into a general in the flames of war. He, a general who is not amazing-looking, is a fighter.

In April 1935 he was awarded the rank of general. He served as President of the Military Senate of the National Government. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War on July 7, he also served as the director of the Security Enforcement Department of the Military Council.

On 8 September, the Nationalist Government ordered Tang Shengzhi to concurrently serve as the Executive Director of Military Justice. At the beginning of the Shanghai War, he also served as the director of the Department of Military Justice.

General Tang held an idle position, and although he was a general, he had no one under him. He did not have his own troops.

He can comment on the defense of Nanjing, express his opinions, criticize others or turn a blind eye. He does not take on the burden of defending Nanjing, and no one will accuse him.

Regardless of whether the battle for the defense of Nanjing was a big or small fight, or a symbolic resistance, it was fought and left, in short, it was a fight, and since it was a fight, there must be generals who came out to command.

At the time of the national crisis, General Tang could no longer sit still in the face of the Japanese army's crazy attack. For the sake of the country and the Chinese nation, he stood up.
