Some scolded, but many more cried with low heads. The Nanjing government and the chairman of the National People's Congress undoubtedly gave up on them again. After Su Haoxuan sank the Japanese gunboat, he also took his brothers to the city with a blue face.

It was only half an hour of fighting, and Su Haoxuan lost the lives of more than fifty brothers. More than 100 people were seriously wounded, most of them were wounded by Japanese machine gun fire, and some fell under Japanese artillery fire because they had no cover.

The abandoned former defenders of Nanking looked depressed, and after scolding them again and again, they gritted their teeth and walked towards several non-commissioned officers of the Wehrmacht.

"Sir, I don't dare ask for a gun. Send me a big knife! Let me die on the battlefield is better than living in this nest! Countless men said this to the soldiers of the Wehrmacht.

These people were not refused, and they were successively incorporated into the ranks of the original defenders who had just joined the Wehrmacht units. The veterans of the original Wehrmacht served as their guides, including teaching them the discipline and rules of the Wehrmacht.

At the same time, their families, names, etc., will be registered in the Wehrmacht. As long as they have meritorious service, these people can really join the Wehrmacht.

Otherwise, after the war in Nanjing, they would retire to the three eastern provinces to work as farmers. Of course, there will be no less treatment for them. It's just that what is needed in the army is the strong, and the discipline in the assessment of the Wehrmacht has always been extremely strict.

"We are primarily responsible for this loss." In the headquarters in Nanjing, Yan Chenghan, commander of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment, first stood up and criticized himself to several battalion commanders and company commanders.

"At first, I thought that the shipwrecks on the Yangtze River would be enough to block the Japanese warships. But it was not taken into account that the Japanese would call in the river fleet to attack. So much so that the problem of coastal defense was neglected, which led to this loss. Therefore, as a commander, I should have the main command responsibility......"

If the officers of other units in Nanjing were here, they would definitely be surprised! Isn't it a slap in the face of a head of a regiment to make such a wrong admission at a meeting?!

But this self-admitting mistake and self-criticizing way of doing things at military meetings is only a common occurrence in the Wehrmacht. This is Tu Qianjun's hard requirement, if you are wrong, you will not keep your shit "prestige", on the contrary, your behavior will be disgusting.

Your mistakes. Led to the casualties of the soldiers! This is an extremely serious military mistake, and as a soldier, there are two things to say. Resisting and not admitting your mistakes will only greatly damage your commanding authority.

Opposite. Admitting your mistakes and pointing out your mistakes will give the impression that you are being honest. Replace it with sincerity, which is the key to surviving with the brethren on the battlefield.

It's almost impossible for those stories, TV and movies to doubt each other and then break out of the encirclement. If you are full of doubts and thoughts about each other. Then it is only a matter of time before the team eventually breaks down and collapses.

Maybe before they can kill you, you'll fall apart. Nanjing's troops are the best example of this. The defenders of the city have their own ideas, and the attackers keep each other. This leads to the inability to attack and the unwillingness to defend.

"The regiment commander's words are a little wrong. It is our General Staff that is most responsible for this loss. Feng Wenyao, chief of staff of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment, sighed and said: "It was also our carelessness and neglect of coastal defense that led to the fact that we were not prepared enough to deal with this Japanese attack." ”

"Originally, this kind of planning should have been done by our staff, but this time our staff did not play its due role......

And at this time, a staff officer walked in with an ugly face and said softly: "Regiment commander, chief of staff." A telegram from the headquarters came......"

Everyone couldn't help mentioning it, but they saw Yan Chenghan sigh and said, "You can read it to everyone......

"National Defense Order No. 358, Nanjing: The Japanese army attacked the Yangtze River with gunboats and motorboats, and specially commanded Yan Chenghan, the commander of the regiment. Carelessness and lack of preparation led to attacks and losses on our troops and the retreating population. In view of this, the headquarters decided to revoke the rank of Colonel Yan Chenghan and the post of regiment commander, and to serve as the commander of the first battalion of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel. ”

"Hiss~~" Everyone couldn't help but gasp, good guys! This punishment is not light, but at the same time, it is also a relief. The Fengtian Command still left a chance for Yan Chenghan. As long as you have made meritorious service on the battlefield, the restoration of military rank and position is only a matter of words.

"Feng Wenyao, chief of staff of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment, was careless and negligent in his duties, causing the Japanese army to kill and injure our retreating soldiers and civilians and cause casualties during the attack. In view of this, the headquarters decided to remove Feng Wenyao from the rank of lieutenant colonel and chief of staff, and to assume the post of instructor of the first battalion of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment with the rank of major. This order was communicated to the whole army. ”

The chief of staff was also removed ?! Everyone's teeth were uncomfortable, and at this time, Yan Chenghan and Feng Wenyao's faces were very ugly. The sword staff officer couldn't read it anymore, Yan Chenghan roared in a low voice: "Read! Who will take our place?! ”

The staff officer shuddered. I didn't dare to speak for a long time. Seeing this, Feng Wenyao sighed and said, "Read it!" We always need someone to command the battle......"

The staff officer snorted for a long time, and then said: "Gu Xingguo, commander of the first battalion of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment, temporarily serves as the head of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment. Yang Maode, an instructor of the 1st Battalion, temporarily assumed the post of chief of staff of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment. ”

"The first battalion and one company of the Nanjing Special Command Regiment fought bravely and repelled the Japanese army once as a collective first-class meritorious service. Company commander Su Haoxuan commanded properly, and his combat bravery was recorded as a second-class meritorious service. Electrified the whole army to commend the command of the Wehrmacht. Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht, Tu Qianjun. ”

After listening to the order, everyone felt that it was acceptable. Yan Chenghan's face also looked a little better, and the first battalion commander Gu Xingguo and instructor Yang Maode were the most confidants of the regiment commander Yan Chenghan.

These two people were the big soldiers when Yan Chenghan was the squad leader, and when Yan Chenghan was the platoon leader, they were the squad leader and squad deputy. Yan Chenghan became the company commander, and these two are the platoon commander and the deputy platoon commander.

It can be said that every time Yan Chenghan is promoted, these two people are also promoted. This time, Yan Chenghan didn't bring anyone in his regiment, and it was these two people and the chief of staff who came over.

"Gotcha! Don't say anything, Commander Gu and Chief of Staff Yang. You two will hand us over, and I'll go to the first camp. ”

Yan Chenghan's face was not good-looking, and Gu Xingguo and instructor Yang Maode stood up at once and said loudly in unison: "Commander! What are you talking about?! In our hearts, you are the head of the regiment! We don't know who else is coming! ”

"That's what I said!" Guo Anhe, the commander of the second battalion, also stood up and said in a deep voice: "I think the punishment of the headquarters is a symbol. Regiment commander, don't go to the first battalion. Command the same way, and it's not a matter of one or two battles to come back with your ability?! ”

At this moment, the centripetal force came out. Yan Chenghan's actions are obvious to all, and he has never been biased in his work. The entire command regiment was extremely convinced, but everyone also knew that this was a punishment from the headquarters because there was no arrangement for the shore defense this time.

In order to alert the whole army, there must not be the slightest sloppiness in defense.

"Regiment commander, you command the battle, my old Gu is admired from the bottom of my heart! If you want to go to the first battalion, I will immediately go to the first company to be the company commander! Whoever likes to do the position of the head of the regiment will do it! ”

"Nonsense! Gu Xingguo, you are a soldier of the Wehrmacht! It's not the king of grass, do you want army discipline anymore?! Feng Wenyao scolded Gu Xingguo: "Okay! I'll go to the first battalion with the regimental commander, and you can go to us if you have any questions. The orders of the headquarters still have to be carried out. Otherwise, what would it look like? ”

Feng Wenyao's words set the tone for this matter, and Yan Chenghan was obviously extremely satisfied with Feng Wenyao's disposition and Gu Xingguo's attitude.

He nodded and smiled at his old partner: "Old Feng, let's go back and experience the old army!" I haven't charged in a long time, and my hands are tickling......"

"Lao Yan, I didn't say you! I like to rush into battle, but I can't change it, and the Senior Command Department of the National Defense University has read it in vain?! Commander-in-chief, this is for you to learn to command operations, not for you to take a gun and go into battle to kill the enemy......"

Feng Wenyao smiled bitterly and persuaded him, while Yan Chenghan waved his hand impatiently and dragged Su Haoxuan out of the headquarters. Seeing this, Feng Wenyao could only follow with a wry smile.

Yan Chenghan was depressed because his military rank and position had been demoted, but the Japanese troops outside Nanjing were depressed because they could not make progress in the fortifications of Nanjing.

In the morning, the losses of yesterday's counteroffensive were counted, and the entire Japanese army was furious! In total, the four-sided positions lost more than 8,000 troops of two multi-wings, and five of the positions originally occupied were lost.

In the Wehrmacht attack, three group commanders and five squadron leaders were killed, and the wing commander of the 113th Wing, Major General Shan Di Gan, apologized for his crimes. The whole Japanese army was filled with a wave of anger, and they couldn't kill it.

Because the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Hatohiko Asakamiya, ordered all troops to temporarily stop the offensive, and at the same time sent reconnaissance planes to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the situation in the whole of Nanjing.

At the same time, the General Staff was ordered to make a new offensive plan and the Intelligence Section was asked to collect all the information about the Nanking troops. The Japanese army temporarily stopped attacking, but these beasts continued to wreak havoc outside Nanjing!

"Help...... an old man with a pale face ran out of the fire-filled town, but was immediately caught up by a Japanese soldier wielding a saber on a warhorse!

With a "poof...... the old man's frightened head flew into the air. The headless corpse struggled and ran for a few steps, and finally "poof! He fell to the ground with a thud......

Heads and corpses, piled up all over the town. The Japanese soldiers laughed fiercely, and the poignant laughter lingered over the bloody town...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
