December 12, 1937, 6 p.m.

"I am Major Zhang Sixing, the principal of the paratrooper school directly under the German Officer Advisory Corps, Ye Kai, yes, I need all the tanks and all the personnel of your company to assemble at the Zhonghua Gate, can you do it?"

As recorded in history, after the meeting of "Commander Tang Seng" at 5 p.m., many division commanders did not return to their units, but instead acted as "birds and beasts" and looked for opportunities to cross the river.

And Zhang Sixing also found the assault force he needed, a platoon commander of the missing armored company of Commander Liu Jiehui.

Looking at the approaching night, the commander of a platoon of the armored company named Ye Kai jumped up and saluted,

"If you can do it, sir, we have no shortage of fuel bombs for armored vehicles."

When he looked at Zhang Sixing in the night, Ye Kai's eyes revealed a special light. Zhang Sixing nodded at this, and then said,

"Don't pay attention to those rumors, I'm not so god-like that I'll hang up if I get shot."

Hearing that Zhang Sixing, who is known as the "Demon King of the Four Elements", is so approachable, and he easily guesses what he thinks, he looks a little uncomfortable. However, Zhang Sixing didn't have time to contact him, but continued to instruct,

"I want your men to open the lid of the excess oil, not a drop of it, and put a notice in a conspicuous place outside, asking the people not to approach. As for the ammunition...... Got a car? ”

"Report to the chief, there are only ten, and the rest ......"

Hearing that he was about to introduce the equipment, Zhang Sixing hurriedly interrupted him,

"The car was full of fuel and ammunition, and we needed a lot. In addition, let your drivers not be idle, drive all the trucks you can find, and try to load fuel and ammunition as much as possible. Don't throw away empty oil drums, bring at least twenty of them. ”

As the sky darkened, the gunfire from several city gates became more and more intense.

According to his own memory, Zhang Sixing knew that the only division commander of the two divisions of the Guangdong Army in the northeast went back and really led his troops to break through from the front according to the arrangement of "Commander Tang Seng".

As for the rest of the officers...... Either the "foreshadowing" is buried, or the "back road" is prepared. And the most annoying thing is that after opening the phone, I notified my subordinates by phone, and I slipped away.

And the hasty arrangement of the retreat of the "Tang Seng Commander" Tang Shengzhi was the fundamental reason why the 100,000-strong army was dispersed and massacred by the Japanese army.

It's a pity that he is just a little major at the moment, and no matter how well he fights, it has nothing to do with the whole battle.

Raising his wrist to look at the luminous watch, it was close to seven o'clock in the evening, and he was getting closer and closer to his scheduled evacuation time.

After arranging the things on the side of the chariot, Zhang Sixing then jumped onto a truck that had been prepared a long time ago. Patting the iron sheet on the roof of the cab commanded,

"Drive, go to a place with a lot of soldiers......"

As the car started, Zhang Sixing picked up the microphone connected to the tweeter. This is not a difficult thing for Zhang Sixing, who has a radio station in the concession.

"Listen, Lao Tzu is the principal of the paratrooper school directly under the German Officer Advisory Corps, and the nickname given to Lao Tzu by the devil is the Four Elements Demon King. Now Commander-in-Chief Tang wants everyone to break through from the front and gather at Zhonghua Gate if they want to go. Each person carries a weapon, with a minimum of 400 rounds of ammunition, and there is a prize for bringing more. ”

With Zhang Sixing's voice, with the blessing of the tweeter and the night wind, it spread to a large area.

Soon after, with his shouts, groups of soldiers emerged from all corners. Of course, more soldiers ignored his shouts and went straight to the Shimonoseki pier.

Zhang Sixing was also quite helpless about this, after all, although he fought well in the Sixing warehouse and in the defense of Jinling. However, not everyone believes that they can fight, and not everyone still has a high fighting spirit at the moment.

In fact, when senior officers abandon the soldiers and leave, the soldiers feel more betrayed.

But at the same time, under the illumination of the "Kong Ming lantern" that has risen, Zhang Sixing is still very pleased to see it,

Many of them were carrying rifles on their backs, but even Czechs. As for ammunition, there is really no shortage of ammunition, after all, there are enough military supplies in Jinling City to fight for several months.

Not only did a few soldiers come with heavy machine guns, but there were even people with mortars and other heavy weapons. Especially since the largest number of people came from the Seventy-fourth Army, it seems that Feng Shengfa still secretly released the news.

At this time, the entire Jinling City was already in chaos because of the "Tang Seng Commander" Tang Shengzhi's brainless retreat order.

After he issued the order to retreat, he added an additional clause: "The 87th Division, the 88th Division, the 74th Army, and the Teaching Corps, which are Chiang Kai-shek's descendants, can cross the river when there is a ferry, if they cannot all break through." ”

This caused great chaos, and soldiers in the city flocked to the docks. And the damned 36th Division, because it did not receive the order to retreat, shot at the rout army crossing the river, and finally led to internal commotion.

Zhang Sixing, who was standing on the wall of Zhonghua Gate at the moment, looked at the rebels who had completely lost their command in the city, and he was also a little numb. After all, if there is no unified command, then going out of the city is not an opponent for the troops of the Japanese 18th Division that is besieging the city.

However, fortunately, at this moment, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally attacking the city, stopped attacking, and according to Zhang Sixing's observations, they seemed to be building a position.

The reason is understandable, Zhang Sixing can also understand. That is, he, the "Demon King of the Four Elements", appeared here, so this is the most likely place for the Japanese army to be attacked at night.

In particular, they had also suffered from the "Four Elements Demon King", and they only knew after inexplicably receiving a heavy artillery meal in the morning that they supported the heavy artillery troops in this direction.

was actually wiped out by the Four Elements Demon King, and he also commanded the soldiers who could skillfully operate the artillery, and bombarded them indiscriminately. In the end, if it wasn't for the heavy artillery unit that ran out of shells, I'm afraid the 18th Division would have been finished.

And those stupid-forced artillerymen, until they ran out of shells, did not find the coordinates passed to them by the command post, and they bombarded their own heads.

In the end, it was an artillery soldier who escaped by luck who brought the news, and it turned out that when the artillery command post issued the order, it was clear that it was the counterattack force of the "Four Elements Demon King" that was bombarded.

Sighing and returning to the inner city wall, Zhang Si saw a team of German-made tanks driving towards Zhonghua Gate, borrowing the "Kong Ming Lantern" in the sky. It seems that the platoon commander of the tank platoon brought his own news with him.

Not only that, but the tank company was followed by a large group of cavalry, which seemed to have the appearance of a regiment.

Did any cavalry participate in the defense of Jinling, and which cavalry were they, and the equipment was quite well-equipped.

As the tanks reached the bottom of the city gate, the two of them hurried up the road. The cavalryman saw that the tank man was running too slowly, so he simply dragged him on his horse and ran up the gate tower together.

Looking at the slightly chaotic scene under the Kong Ming lantern, Zhang Sixing shouted on the tweeter,

"Lao Tzu is the demon king of the four elements, Zhang Sixing, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to die in Jinling City. I believe that your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters, all want you to go home. Whoever stops us from going home, we're going to kill him. Now everyone listens to Lao Tzu's orders, no noise, no unauthorized action, and those who don't want to obey can get out. ”
