War of Resistance

Chapter 211 Straight together, assemble!

While the officers and soldiers of the No.80 Eighth Division were about to live and die with Yuhuatai, the Second Army headquarters lost contact with the city due to the fall of Yinkong Mountain in the morning.

It was night, and a new round of military adjustments was carried out in the city of Nanjing. In order to shorten the front line and ensure that the position was not lost, the headquarters of the No.80 Eighth Division had to choose to stick to the main position outside the city. The Sixth Division and the No.70 Fourth Army Division are respectively responsible.

Originally, the commander-in-chief of the garrison planned to organize the troops to launch a counter-offensive. However, after careful consideration, the commander-in-chief believed that all the troops were exhausted and basically lost the strength to attack. The [-]th Division, which was recently withdrawn from Zhenjiang , The [-]rd Division is even more exhausted, and it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility.

At [-] o'clock in the morning on December [-], Liao Ken, Chief of Staff of the Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, hurried to the office of the Ministry of Railways to call Tan Daoping, the chief of the first section, and said, "Let's go to the Tang Mansion as soon as possible. Bar!"

"What happened?" Tan Daoping asked.

"Don't ask, you will know when you get there!" After saying that, Liao Ken walked out, took Tan Daoping and others into the military off-road vehicle, and went to the Tang mansion.

When Liao Ken, Tan Daoping and others arrived at the Tang mansion, it was still dark, and the garrison commander Tang Shengzhi, deputy chiefs Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, and chief of staff Zhou Lan were already sitting in the meeting room of the Tang mansion.

After seeing Tan Daoping and Liao Ken coming in, before they sat down, Tang Shengzhi said with a serious face: "Now the city has been broken and cannot be guarded. The chairman has ordered you to go and prepare to retreat. Order!"

"Yes!" Liao Ken and others responded.

Before Liao Ken and others turned around and left to draw up the retreat order, Tang Shengzhi asked Liao Ken, Chief of Staff, "I remember that there is another regiment in Song Xilian's department, which is a reinforced regiment of German weapons, and it is fully equipped, right? ?”

Liao Ken thought for a while and said: "Yes, this regiment is temporarily under the command of the No.70 Eighth Army Headquarters, and its designation is the first regiment directly under the third theater. This regiment was also separated from the 36th Division. The regiment of this regiment Chang Zhang Tianhai can be said to be Song Xilian's old subordinate."

Tang Shengzhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, when you draft the order, add a clause that the regiment will be included in the battle order of the Commander's Department of the Garrison, and will be directly under the command of the Commander's Department!"

"Yes!" Liao Ken responded.

……

From the dawn of December [-]th, the Japanese army began to mobilize planes and artillery to bombard the gates of the city intensively. You can even see the ferocious faces of the Japanese soldiers outside the city, and the once prosperous ancient city of Nanjing suddenly fell into flames of war.

This morning, Zhang Tianhai sent Liu Houming back to the regiment headquarters early to convey his own order: All troops should step up contact with the regiment headquarters and be ready to gather for battle at any time!

"Adjutant Liu, what's the situation at Yijiangmen now?" Before Liu Houming returned to Yijiangmen, Zheng Man stopped him.

Seeing that it was Zheng Man, Liu Houming didn't dare to lie, he just said with a wry smile: "Director Zheng, don't worry, now the regimental seat and the teacher seat are together, and nothing will happen. He sent me back to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible." Let’s take a look at the regiment’s situation.”

"Well. All right, then you can help me convey to the head of the regiment and ask him to pay attention to safety." Zheng Man reminded Liu Houming.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law! Even if I, Liu Houming, die, I won't hurt a single hair of the group seat." After speaking, Liu Houming got into the car and drove away. Who in the regiment doesn't know?
And Zheng Man was really in a good mood, just because Liu Houming called her "sister-in-law".

In the regiment headquarters, Guo Qiliang's mind was already locked. Zhang Yulin was always very predictable in his actions, and never did anything aimless. What's more, this guy was still at the side of the teacher at this time!
Thinking about it, Guo Qiliang threw the pen in his hand on the table, and said: "Xu Xun, pass my order, the second battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion, all return to the regiment headquarters to assemble! Ready to fight at any time!"

Guo Qiliang is not that kind of stupid person, and with the news that the Japanese army has attacked outside Nanjing, how could he not know the intention of Zhang Tianhai's order?Prepare for battle as soon as possible, and join the Nanjing battlefield at any time!
The ministries have already suffered heavy casualties. Among the troops in Nanjing, Song Xilian's No.70 Eighth Army is still relatively well-equipped. The whole army, including the first regiment directly under the third theater, still has more than [-] people The new force of the army, especially the first regiment directly under it, is fully staffed, well equipped, and still has a certain combat effectiveness.

Therefore, under the orders of regiment leader Zhang Tianhai and chief of staff Guo Qiliang, the three main battalions guarding along the river immediately moved towards the direction of Xiaguan, the regiment headquarters.

The tower of Yijiangmen had long been blown up by Japanese planes, and even Song Xilian's office had been moved to the enclosure of the city gate, not to mention Zhang Tianhai's radio station and office.

Hearing the sound of a car outside the door, Zhang Tianhai knew that Liu Houming was back.

So Zhang Tianhai walked out quickly and asked, "Hou Ming, how is the situation in the regiment now?"

Liu Houming walked quickly to Zhang Tianhai's side, lowered his voice and said, "Sir, the Chief of Staff has been notified now. If there are no accidents, our regiment's troops have already begun to assemble."

"Well, that's good. It's a good job." Zhang Tianhai patted Liu Houming on the shoulder and said.

At this moment, a voice sounded behind Zhang Tianhai: "Head Zhang, what are you doing?"

As soon as he heard the voice, Zhang Tianhai knew who it was, who else was not the master seat?He immediately turned around and stood at attention and reported: "Reporting to the seat of the master, I am asking the adjutant of the humble rank about the situation of the regiment headquarters!"

"Zhang Yulin, it's not the first day I met you. Let's be honest, what are you doing behind my back?" Song Xilian's tone was very serious. As the captain of the supervising team, he would not allow the troops under his command to show up. In the case of deserters, at this critical moment, any abnormal behavior should not escape his eyes.

Seeing Master Zuo's eyes, Zhang Tianhai's heart trembled: If he didn't explain the situation clearly at this time, he might have to explain it here. Who knows whether Master Zuo would shoot him?
"Reporter, it is the humble official who ordered the troops of Zhiyi Regiment to assemble and reinforce the battle in the city at any time!" Zhang Tianhai looked straight at Song Xilian with his eyes straight.

After hearing this reply, instead of scolding Zhang Tianhai, Song Xilian nodded lightly and said, "This time, I did a good job, but don't make an exception!"

"Yes, Master!" Zhang Tianhai saluted to show his obedience to the order.

Song Xilian took two steps on the spot, with his hands behind his back, rubbing the index finger and thumb of his right hand wearing a white command glove, and finally he made a decision: "The situation in the city is very critical now, and the division is also I need a mobile force, how about this, I will transfer the troops of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment back to Hepingmen to take over the defense, and the [-]st Battalion of your department will be transferred back to Yijiangmen! In case of special circumstances, your regiment can quickly report to the Gather at Yijiang Gate!"
