Qiao Youhua said angrily: "Give them a reply, vowing to live and die with Nanjing is not an empty word, if anyone wants reinforcements again, just say, the headquarters can only send Commander Tang to see who dares to ask for it?" ”

Liu Xing couldn't help but be a little stunned, then came back to his senses, and secretly said that Qiao Youhua's move was a bit too bad, in this way, Tang Shengzhi would be dead on the back of the black pot, and the military commanders of the divisions on the front line would definitely greet the eighteenth generation of the female ancestors of his family.

Of course, there is also an advantage, that is, Commander Tang Shengzhi will become a hero of the War of Resistance admired by 10,000 people, and he will lead all troops in the Nanjing Garrison Theater to resolutely resist the Japanese attack and defend Nanjing City to the death, which will gain him a high reputation.

Tang Shengzhi, who was under house arrest in a side room, of course didn't know that he had been cheated by Qiao Youhua like this, and he was still thinking about how to escape, report to Chairman Jiang, and let Chairman Jiang clean up this lawless guy.

Sure enough, the commanders of the garrison divisions, who were already pressed and beaten by the little devils and suffered heavy losses under their subordinates, were all on fire in their hearts!

As soon as they received such an order from the headquarters, many people scolded.

What's more, he left his command post directly, and wanted to enter the city to find Tang Shengzhi's theory, but without exception, he was blocked by the central teaching corps in charge of urban defense.

Qiao Youhua had already issued a military order, and without an order, no one was allowed to retreat into the city.

In the face of the princely soldiers of the Central Teaching Corps, even the ace troops of the Central Army such as the 88th and 87th Divisions had no temper, so they had to return the same way full of resentment.

In this way, under Qiao Youhua's strict orders, nearly 100,000 troops in the Nanjing Garrison Theater fought a bloody battle with more than 100,000 Japanese troops outside Nanjing.

Ten days later, although the Japanese army captured all the Fulang positions outside Nanjing, and cut off the connection between Nanjing and Wuhu, and cut off the retreat of the Nanjing army and civilians from the land.

But it also paid an extremely heavy price, as the main attack division, the 6th, 16th, and 13th divisions were almost disabled, especially the 13th Division, one of its brigades, that is, the Yamada detachment, was completely annihilated by Qiao Youhua in Yangzhou before.

After the bloody battle in the area of Purple Mountain, the 13th Division directly lost its combat effectiveness.

According to post-war statistics, the number of casualties among the Japanese divisions and regiments in Central China exceeded 50,000 just by capturing the periphery and Fulang positions outside Nanjing, of which 50 percent were killed.

You must know that the Japanese fought a bloody battle with nearly a million Chinese troops in Shanghai for three months, and only more than 30,000 people were killed.

Of course, the losses of the Chinese defenders in the Nanjing garrison theater were even greater, because the Japanese had the advantage of air force and artillery fire, and less than 20,000 of the original 100,000 troops finally retreated into the city of Nanjing.

Most of them were wounded, and all the others died outside Nanjing.

But compared to the historical ones who laid down their arms and surrendered to become the live targets of the Japanese machine gunners and bayonets, although they sacrificed, they fought out 20,000 or 30,000 little devils.

The vitality of the Japanese army in Central China was greatly damaged, and several divisions and regiments almost lost their combat effectiveness.

And because of their heroic struggle, the people in Nanjing have basically been evacuated so far, and the few remaining are some misers who are unwilling to evacuate, they would rather stay with the devil to be obedient to the people, as slaves to the country, and are reluctant to throw away the thousands of family wealth accumulated in Nanjing for generations to flee Nanjing.

For this kind of people, Qiao Youhua didn't say much, and he didn't force them to evacuate.

Everyone has the right to choose, since they are willing to stay and bear the unprecedented wrath of the devil to retaliate! Then let them be.

Everyone also has to pay for their choices.

At this time, Qiao Youhua also encountered an unprecedented crisis and trouble.

That is, the armies that had to retreat into Nanjing City, and the military commander of the division finally knew that Qiao Youhua was in charge of the theater headquarters, and all the combat orders were issued by this guy.

Therefore, except for Gui Yongqing, the captain of the Central Teaching Corps in charge of city defense, the commanders of the other divisions all brought their direct guard companies and platoons to the theater headquarters controlled by Qiao Youhua.

surrounded this place, and for a while, the two sides were tense,-for-tat, and full of gunpowder.

"Qiao Youhua! Get the fuck out of here! He dared to hijack the theater headquarters and falsely pass on military orders, killing Lao Tzu of three brigades and nine regiments, of which there were less than two and a half battalions left, and tens of thousands of brothers all died outside Nanjing! A division commander roared with red eyes.

His words resonated with other senior officers, and for a while, the voices outside the headquarters denouncing Qiao Youhua came one after another, and the voices were loud, but although they were angry, they did not directly order the troops to attack.

In the final analysis, they also know that as soldiers, they sacrifice their lives for the country and abide by their duties, which is their duty, but they were commanded by Qiao Youhua, the colonel and regimental commander, to fight this battle, which made them feel very uncomfortable, and the losses of the troops were indeed too heavy, and they wanted to find someone to vent their depression in their hearts in a very bad mood.

Moreover, who is Qiao Youhua, that is a cattle man who single-handedly killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, a real anti-Japanese national hero, even if he wants to be moved, he has to be ordered by Chairman Jiang himself.

Otherwise, who would dare to risk the world's disapproval and move him Qiao Youhua?

Moreover, this group of proud soldiers under Qiao Youhua's command is a real elite, as strong as the Japanese army Kunisaki Detachment, Yamada Detachment, and the Marine Corps that beat them to the ground in Shanghai, they were all wiped out cleanly, and there was not even a scumbag left.

Although they were numerous, they were not sure that they would be able to capture the theater headquarters defended by this group of arrogant generals.

So the situation came to a stalemate, and they could only shout outside for Qiao Youhua to come out.

Suddenly, the officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth who were waiting for the battle automatically dispersed and gave way to a road, and Qiao Youhua, dressed in a brand-new colonel uniform, walked out with his head held high and strode out under the support of deputy commander Liu Xing, as well as Jiang Haidong, Liu Jianhua and other henchmen.

"Qiao Youhua, if you commit a crime and fake a military order, do you know what kind of punishment you will face?" Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, was the first to speak and reprimand.

Although the others didn't speak, they all looked at Qiao Youhua with hostility in their eyes, seeing how he could justify.

Qiao Youhua didn't speak, but suddenly stepped forward and saluted the **** senior generals present!

"Qiao Youhua, do you think that if you salute us, you will be able to clear your suspicion of committing the following crimes and falsely passing on military orders?" Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army, said angrily.

"Wrong, Qiao Mou is not saluting as a subordinate, but on behalf of the 700,000 ordinary people in Nanjing City, saluting the heroes of the commanders, it is your desperate and bloody battles that will allow them to transfer and win time and avoid the tragic fate of being slaughtered by the Japanese army, so I sincerely salute you on behalf of the 700,000 Nanjing fathers and elders to show my gratitude!" Qiao Youhua said awe-inspiringly.

"Don't come to this set, Lao Tzu doesn't want the high hat of this anti-Japanese hero, now the Japanese army will encircle Nanjing City on three sides, what do you say we should do?" A Yunnan army division commander said.

His words resonated with the others, Nanjing City has been besieged on three sides, what should they do next, is what they are most concerned about, no matter what, the city gate leading to the Xiaguan Wharf can be controlled by the Central Teaching Corps, and Gui Yongqing does not seem to reject the orders of the headquarters controlled by Qiao Youhua.

In other words, without Qiao Youhua's order, none of them would want to cross the river and go north, this is the ultimate goal of their collective efforts to surround the headquarters.
