The defense of Nanjing was not prepared to defend to the death from the beginning. Tang Shengzhi's words to Jiang Zhongzheng were: Without your personal order, I will definitely not take half a step back!

Although Tang Shengzhi has not led troops for many years, he is not a stupid person. In order to let the soldiers below fight to the death, Tang Shengzhi ordered: All ships on the south bank, including the garrison commander's headquarters, must be handed over to the 36th Division to control it, so as to strengthen the determination to defend to the death.

At the same time, it was ordered that troops outside the city should not retreat into the city, and troops inside the city should not leave the city. Then he gave a death order and let Hu Zongnan's First Army on the north bank shoot the boats that smuggled into Jiangbei.

Although this method is a bit rigid, if it can really be implemented, it can also desperately eliminate everyone's idea of retreating, but force everyone to stick to it with one mind.

But that's not the case! Tang Shengzhi's own commander's department Chapter 721 prepared in the haze and secretly left a small steamer, and after everyone knew the situation, the divisions followed suit and secretly kept the boat.

But these situations were known only to the division and brigade commanders, and everyone "hidden" the soldiers below with great tacit understanding. The propaganda is still unified in tone, saying that it must be adhered to.

But in fact, those high-ranking officers of the "party-state" have left themselves a way out from the very beginning. Only the "brothers" on the front line are truly determined to defend to the death!

None of this escaped the eyes of the people, and the information was collected by telegram to the headquarters of the Wehrmacht in the three eastern provinces. Seeing that these senior generals were all ugly, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but sneer.

"These scum! Do you still say that you will hold Nanjing?! I don't think they can keep it!! Qi Mudeng, who came to the meeting, was originally a fiery temper, and when he saw this situation, he scolded!

"The officials leave a way for themselves to live, but what about the brothers below?! his grandmother's legs! Why don't these crumbs die?! Calling the brother in his mouth is good, Nima stabbed the next door in the back! A bunch of shit!! ”

Tian Jixiang's bones turned white, and he sneered: "Fortunately, the commander didn't give these idiots anything, I think the preparation in the haze of Chapter 721 is that all our weapons are given to them, and they still can't beat a piece of shit!" If you choose a way to run in front of the chief, can the brothers below die?! Something raised in Nanjing! Bah! ”

Su Zongzhen was quite calm, pointing to a deep voice on the intelligence and saying, "This group of idiots! If you know that if you are forced into street fighting, why don't you evacuate the residents?! The old, weak, sick and disabled should have been withdrawn, what is going on with such a method?! The combat readiness is well prepared. Ammunition and food supplies are available. But how long can they hold on to such preparations?! ”

Tu Qianjun didn't speak, he was calm and didn't say a word. He had already guessed Nanjing's posture, and it was impossible for Jiang Zhongzheng to choose to defend it at all.

Tang Shengzhi himself is also ready to give up. It is a pity for the tens of thousands of soldiers below who sincerely resist Japan and are ready to fight to the death for the country.

"Commander, do you want our men to be dispatched?!" Su Zongzhen was silent for a while, and said to Tu Qianjun. Tu Qianjun shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"What are you going to do now?! Block shells for them?! "Tu Qianjun is very calm. To the crowd: "Tell our people, be silent first." After the battle began, they would only be dispatched if the people on the Nanjing side were out of support. ”

Looking at the situation in Nanjing, Tu Qianjun knew that the situation where the historical governor fled directly without even notifying him would definitely appear!

In history, the Battle of Nanjing was only fought for seven days, and even the position of Nanjing itself was not broken by the Japanese army, but it was tragically abandoned! After the retreat meeting was held at 5 o'clock on the 12th, the commanders of the armies and divisions signed and sealed the minutes of the meeting that ordered the retreat of the troops, so that everyone could tie them up and then let the troops break through on their own.

Some of the high-ranking officers quietly fled across the river alone after the meeting, without informing the soldiers of the troops at all! When some of the generals of the god-like teaching corps fled for their lives in the boat they secretly left, the regiment commander below was still directing the battle!

Until 8:30 p.m. on the 12th. The four regiment commanders of the corps also held a meeting in the Purple Mountain. It wasn't until 12 o'clock in the night that he noticed this and began to break through.

Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army, and Shen Fazao, commander of the 87th Division, fled on the afternoon of the 12th. The troops outside the city were not notified either, and it was not until the evening of the 12th that the 261st Brigade found that the city wall was undefended.

Wan Shijiong fought until noon on the 13th, and did not receive an order to retreat, and later heard that the Japanese tanks had arrived at the entrance of the commander's department, only to know that the leaders had withdrawn.

The most terrifying thing is that Hu Zongnan on the north shore didn't even know the retreat plan at all! Since the garrison commander was about to withdraw across the river, the garrison commander's headquarters did not notify the defenders on the north bank, so that Hu Zongnan was ordered to shoot at the boats in the river!

It wasn't until Tang Shengzhi arrived on the other side that he knew that the retreat had begun, but he didn't know that countless people had been killed by mistake......

Analyzing the data of the Battle of Nanjing, you can find out. In fact, there are not many troops killed in the battle. But there are countless people who died in the chaotic retreat and the massacre of the Japanese army!

Sad?! This is indeed sad, and the saddest thing is that the order to retreat was given by Jiang Zhongzheng personally! At the earliest, Jiang Zhongzheng, through Gu Zhutong, gave the order for the Nanjing defenders to retreat.

But Tang Shengzhi was afraid to take responsibility. Therefore there is no command! Jiang Zhongzheng had no choice but to personally order Tang Shengzhi to retreat. Tang Shengzhi once handed over this order to all the army and division commanders, and at the same time all signed for confirmation.

In order not to take the responsibility for ordering the retreat, it is a pity that there are still many people who put this basin on his head. This is also what Jiang Zhongzheng is willing to see, the reason why Tang Shengzhi was appointed as the commander of the Nanjing garrison is to give Jiang Zhongzheng a black pot when nothing can be done.

The consequence of the black pot is that Old Tang's vacancy as the executive director of military justice has been dismissed. The good thing is that at least Jiang Zhongzheng didn't kill him. Because he was worried that Lao Tang would speak nonsense, Jiang Zhongzheng sent "military police" to "protect" Lao Tang.

The result of Jiang Zhongzheng's doing this was that he kept asking Lao Tang to take up some positions, but Lao Tang basically refused. The black pot was recited once, and that is the infamy of the ancient and modern. Old Tang is not stupid, he still doesn't learn to be obedient after suffering a loss?!

Of course, Don is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp either! In 1949, Lao Tang participated in the organization of the "Peaceful Self-Help" movement in Hunan and served as the chairman of the "Hunan People's Self-Help Committee". Subsequently, he led the telegram to support the peaceful liberation of Hunan.

"Let them continue to lurk and not be exposed!" Tu Qianjun commanded in a deep voice: "Those officials and masters in Nanjing are obviously going to run away!" Tell our people, the flag is ready! When it's time to show up, it's going to show up! Don't lose the face of our Wehrmacht! ”

Su Zongzhen and the rest of the legion commanders were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they were silent!

"Humph! He Jiang Zhongzheng can't hold it, and it's okay to run away if he's afraid! I'll keep it! But seeing Tu Qianjun, he said coldly: "Let the Longyun Department in Yunnan prepare to support!" ”

Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, everyone's faces immediately turned red! It seems that the commander is going to make a big move!

"Long Yun's side now has only one main integrated army, and it's hard to say that the combat effectiveness has not been tried......" Su Zongzhen pointed his finger at the telegram and said softly.

"Long Yun and Jiang Zhongzheng got the number '60th Army of the National Revolutionary Army'. This army had Lu Han as its commander and had under the jurisdiction of the 182nd Division's An Enpu Division, the 183rd Division's Gao Yinhuai Division, and the 184th Division's Zhang Chong Division. The military department also has an artillery regiment and a field service regiment under its direct jurisdiction. There are more than 50,000 people in the whole army, and according to ours, we are equipped with 30 Liao-14-year 75-mm mountain guns, 10 Liao-14 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and eight Liao-made 16-year 75-mm antiaircraft guns. ”

After a pause, Su Zongzhe continued: "There are 2,600 Tiger assault rifles in the Guard Regiment, 2,700 Tiger assault rifles in the Special Operations Brigade, and 8,000 horses in the Cavalry Regiment. The commanders of all divisions and regiments have been trained in the Advanced Command Department of our National Defense University, and some of them are also officers from us. ”

"The junior officers too, the people on the red side learn very quickly. Now twenty percent of the junior officers in the Sixtieth Army are red people, and the rest are our and Long Yun's people. ”

Su Zongzhen was extremely competent as the chief of staff, and the whole situation of Long Yun's main force was all in his mind. He didn't even need to look at the information to be able to tell one, two, three.

"If Long Yun proposes to go, presumably Jiang Zhongzheng will not object." But seeing Su Zongzhen paused, he said with a smile: "After all, Long Yun didn't tear his face with Jiang Zhongzheng, and his current troops still have the number of the 'Sixty Army' given by Jiang Zhongzheng." And letting the miscellaneous cards die has always been Jiang Zhongzheng's interest. ”

But then Su Zongzhen said: "What we need to worry about is that Jiang Zhongzheng took the opportunity to seize power." It's not that he hasn't done this before, Long Yun's main force has come out, and Jiang Zhongzheng may not take the opportunity to take Yunnan as his base. ”

Tu Qianjun sneered and said to Su Zongzhe: "Long Rope has done a good job in North Korea!" Let them go back with their own troops and form a new army with their own troops. Transfer some military cadets from the National Defense University to join and tell them that they want mountain soldiers! ”

Tu Qianjun's words made Su Zongzhen nod, this is a very good choice. In the round battle with the Japanese army, the two brothers Long Rope Zeng Long Rope Wu fought on the battlefield.

Now that it has been exercised, the accumulated battle merits Dragon Rope has already been a regiment leader. Long Shenwu is now a battalion commander, and if it weren't for the lack of opportunities to go into battle, a regiment commander wouldn't be able to run.

These two brothers finally didn't lose face to their father, and it was appropriate for them to go back and take the officers and cadets of the National Defense University to form a new unit.

"Tell Long Yun that I am holding on to Nanjing!" But seeing Tu Qianjun said coldly: "Jiang Zhongzheng, I estimate that I have to withdraw, but I have to defend this Nanjing!" ”

The people below don't quite understand why the commander-in-chief must defend Nanjing, they don't know what the beast did when the Japanese army occupied Nanjing! Hundreds of thousands of inhabitants were slaughtered!

Since God has given me a chance, I can't let this happen! Looking at the telegram, Tu Qianjun thought to himself. rs！！！
