Gui Yongqing's meal was the most cost-effective meal in the history of the Republic of China, and Zhang Xuewu still had 12 German-made Type 3 chariots in the Nanjing warehouse, which were also divided equally between the Teaching Corps and the 74th Army, and a total of 40 105 mm imitation German howitzers and 30 75 mm imitation Krupp mountain field guns were taken from Zhang Xuewu.

Zhang Xuewu had stored a large number of artillery shells, mines and other materials in Nanjing, and now it seems that these materials will play a great role, and Zhang Xuewu does not want to use too many troops to stick to the periphery of Nanjing, as in history, and repeatedly compete with the army for attrition.

Zhang Xuewu's strategic intention is to abandon the outer line, build a large-scale fortification system in Qixia Mountain, build a large-scale fortification system in Zhongshan Mausoleum and Purple Mountain, hold along the Qinhuai River, blow up all bridges, and control more than 50 ships of AVIC downstream, and place the two heavy artillery brigades in the north bank Hu Zongnan's headquarters, Hu Zongnan can also be said to be grateful to Zhang Xuewu for being able to hand over the two heavy artillery brigades to him!

Hu Zongnan is Chiang Kai-shek's decent descendant, and Tang Enbo is the same, but Hu Zongnan is not as good as Tang Enbo, Zhang Xuewu's trust in him makes Hu Zongnan feel a little flattered, Zhang Xuewu still has Shang Fang's sword in his hand, so Hu Zongnan must defend these two heavy artillery brigades for Zhang Xuewu from any point of view, if these two brigades are lost, Hu Zongnan also knows, I am afraid that Chairman Jiang will not spare him.

Zhang Xuewu's move can be described as an imitation of the Battle of Stalingrad, in which the Soviet army placed heavy artillery units on the side of the canal, so that the German army was always under the fire of the Soviet army.

Zhang Xuewu's strategic arrangement was to take the Nanjing city wall as the final line of defense, and use the commanding heights of Purple Mountain and Yuhuatai to cooperate with the air force; as long as the army could not grasp absolute air supremacy, he would let the army know what an artillery bombardment was.

Zhang Xuewu hoarded 300,000 rounds of 75-mm shells, 220,000 rounds of 105-mm shells, and 150,000 rounds of 150-mm high-explosive grenades in Nanjing.

However, Zhang Xuewu was most concerned about the fortifications of Purple Mountain, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Qixia Mountain and other places, and the PLA of later generations can be called the essence of civil engineering fortifications, and the civil engineering fortifications built by the volunteers on the Korean battlefield can resist the direct hit of heavy howitzers of 152 mm caliber, which can be called a miracle in military history.

Therefore, Zhang Xuewu made full use of everything that could be used in Nanjing, and all the 30,000 tons of cement and 2,000 tons of steel bars of the Nanjing cement plant and the steel mill were all used.

Zhang Xuewu intercepted at least 50,000 people in the stragglers and small formed troops who retreated through Nanjing, and these people were sent to Jiangbei for training, and issued helmets and new uniforms and weapons, and more than 30,000 of them were all added to the divisions garrisoning Nanjing, at this moment Zhang Xuewu has 220,000 troops, compared with more than 150,000 people in history, 70,000 more, and the German armament troops that retreated to Nanjing in history have long been out of German armament supplements, and a soldier is only 20 rounds of ammunition supplements, Most of the recruits were issued with broadswords or two grenades, and the strength and firepower of the divisions can be said to have been unprecedentedly improved, not only with the support of heavy artillery and reserves from Jiangbei, but also with the artillery support of the artillery directly under the divisions.

About 200,000 imported and produced improvised mines in Baotou were buried all over the mountains by the engineers of the two regiments, and there were not even bretus, which was a great trouble after the war, but Zhang Xuewu believed that the army on the outskirts of Nanjing would probably have to take two weeks to clear the mines, and these mines were planted for Zhang Xuewu to win the last time.

The Wulong Mountain Fortress on the flank of Qixia Mountain is a place where the Ming Dynasty began to build a garrison in the Wanli year, and then it was built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, especially in the 35 to 36 years, as the model fortification of the Wufu Line was built and perfected on a large scale, and the permanent fortifications were equipped with the closed fortress group of the permanent moat, which was inspected by Chiang Kai-shek at the beginning, and the Wufu Line was also built in the imagination according to the Qixia Mountain and the Wulong Mountain Fortress equivalent to the General Mountain, but what Chiang Kai-shek did not expect was that the officials below were up and down. The Wufu line was repaired to him on the map.

Zhang Xuewu made a very great determination to completely give up the battle for the outer line position in Nanjing, so Zhang Xuewu began to arrange for the Zhenjiang and Jiangyin fortresses to carry out a general retreat, and the two fortresses of Zhenjiang and Jiangyin had a total of 27 forts, 16 German-made 88-mm semi-automatic Gaoping dual-purpose guns, 22 German-made 150-mm howitzers, 8 German-made Krupp 240-mm fortress guns, and a total of 152 naval guns removed from old ships.

These large-caliber Krupp fortress guns can be said to be the treasures of the grandfathers, many cannons can not even be called out by the specific model Zhang Xuewu, this batch of 1919 at the end of 1919, the Beiyang political axe from Britain and France to buy the German World War I old guns, its power is still quite shocking.

Zhang Xuewu arranged for the forced evacuation of the people in Nanjing on the one hand, and rushed to Yanziji with all the officers above the division level, where a heavy artillery regiment of the national political axe was stationed, and the national political axe was only equipped with a heavy artillery regiment in history, which was the famous 10th artillery regiment, and the colonel head Peng Mengxi, the word Mingxi, was a native of Wuchang, Hubei, graduated from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, and later entered the fifth artillery department of the Huangpu Military Academy, and graduated in the same year and entered the field artillery school for further study.

However, due to the influence of Zhang Xuewu, the Kuomintang had already organized three heavy artillery regiments, the 11th Artillery Regiment and the 12th Artillery Regiment, but these two regiments had been moved to Wuhan, and Chiang Kai-shek left the 10th Artillery Regiment, which was equipped with 36 German-made 1500-meter heavy howitzers of 32 times caliber and 30 times the caliber, in Nanjing.

And Zhang Xuewu also arranged it in Yanziji, one is to echo with the two heavy artillery brigades on the north bank to block the Yangtze River to prevent the defenders from being attacked by the enemy, and the second is to provide fire support to the entire battlefield of Wulong Mountain Fortress and Qixiashan Fortress, and the sixteen German-made 88 mm Gaoping dual-purpose guns withdrawn from Zhenjiang and Jiangyin were also deployed in Yanziji, Peng Mengji was appointed by Zhang Xuewu as the commander of the Yanziji garrison, and the army side was garrisoned by the 41st Division Yanziji to build fortifications.

On the way to Yanziji, Zhang Xuewu held a very formal deployment site office meeting, planning to use the 48th Division to garrison the Wulongshan Fortress, the 159th Division of the 2nd Brigade of Wu Jianxiong's Division, one to garrison Baguazhou, the other to garrison Jiangxinzhou, to teach the 103rd Division of Gui Yongqing to garrison Qixiashan Fortress, the 160th Division of Ye Zhao's Division as a countermeasure, and the 51st and 57th Divisions of Yu Jishi's 74th Army to garrison the Gujiaying, Yangjiazhuang, Dashishan, and Liuzhuang lines. Relying on the geographical advantages of the Qinhuai River branch, the fortifications were constructed, and the headquarters of the 58th Division was used to build a second-line position in Guanghuamen.

The headquarters of the 154th Division and the 156th Division were stationed along the Qinhuai River such as Hewan, Datang, Hongcun, and Jinsheng Village, blasting all the bridges, and defending the river, the headquarters of the 87th Division was located in Chrysanthemum Terrace to construct fortifications, the 88th Division was located in Yuhuatai to construct fortifications, and the 36th Division was stationed along the Zhongshan Mausoleum and Purple Mountain.

The 1st Provisional Mechanized Division was stationed along the line of the Weixingcun Railway Station, and the 112th Division of the Teaching Corps, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments of the Military Police, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Brigades were temporarily organized as the general reserve.

Zhang Xuewu's arrangement convinced everyone, and the most difficult gap to hold was withstood by the descendants of the Rehe Legion, what else do you have to say? Besides, Zhang Xuewu supplemented the soldiers and weapons and equipment for everyone, in Ye Zhao's words, who the hell doesn't say that others are good, but they owe scolding.

Zhang Xuewu concentrated all the ferries that were destroyed and sunk by Tang Shengzhi in history in the area of Pukou Wharf for concealment, and placed the only 49 BF-109F of the fighter group and the 52 Hawks of the 6th and 7th destroyer groups of the Air Force at the Dingshan Field Airfield in Jiangbei, abandoning the peripheral positions and using the support ground to cooperate with the mobile troops to continuously implement counter-assault tactics. Compared with Zhang Xuewu, he has more room to play.

In the positions built along the Purple Mountain, Yuhuatai, Wulong Mountain, and Qinhuai River, Zhang Xuewu launched a 200,000 young and strong laborers in Nanjing to assault and build, first evacuate the elderly, women, and children, and evacuate in batches in a planned manner.

After hundreds of ruffians were executed in a concentrated manner, the military discipline of the various units of the Songhu combat unit passing through Nanjing suddenly improved greatly, and some troops even concentrated on washing their faces, and even wore their uniforms in a centralized manner, and even wore their uniforms neatly, and tied them to death with threads that lacked buttons; regardless of whether they were a unit or not, they had to retreat in a neat line, because when they entered the Nanjing area, they could only see the Chinese Air Force fighters painted with the blue sky and white emblem on their wings, and the Chinese army launched several challenges to Nanjing's so-called absolute air defense circle, and without exception they were beaten to the point of smoke and running everywhereWhen he realized that the actions of the army and naval aviation units were useless, he boosted the morale of the Chinese defenders, so the army also stopped the air raid on Nanjing.

Killing people without blinking has become one of the most typical impressions that Zhang Xuewu gave to the [***] departments, no matter who you are, what Zhang Xuewu stipulates is the prescribed boundary, and if you cross the line, you will be killed without discussion, and if you can't think about it, you will be reincarnated in the next life to learn to be smarter.

Historically, there have been almost no incidents of chaotic troops breaking up and plundering, and the time required for such troops to retreat and retrain is also low, and the damage to morale is also low.
