War of Resistance

Chapter 228 Nanjing Breakout Battle ([-])
"Zhang Yulin, I can only help you here. You should come back soon, kid. Don't be accused of running away and sent to a court-martial." Guo Qiliang thought silently in his heart. He was indeed silent, with a calm appearance.

I saw Zheng Man rolling up his sleeves and wiping away his dry tears, then he said vigorously, "Let's go, Chief of Staff, let's go to Xuzhou and wait for him."

Seeing Zheng Man's appearance, Guo Qiliang finally let go of half of his heart. If he can't take good care of Zheng Man at this time, let alone the question of whether Zhang Yulin can come back alive, even he doesn't care. It's a good feeling, when the brothers who are living and dying need help the most, but I can't help a little, this feeling is very uncomfortable.

……

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Wei He personally ordered the trumpeter of the special agent company to sound the assembly call.

A burst of urgent trumpets sounded, and the impromptu team of the Penetration Regiment immediately rehearsed in accordance with the order of those temporary arrangements.

It has to be said that these temporary company commanders are quite powerful. After all, they are officers who graduated from serious military academies and have such rich combat experience. Under the yelling of these company commanders, these are originally Veterans' routs quickly formed.

"Cough cough." Zhang Tianhai cleared his throat habitually. How could he not give a speech to boost morale at this critical juncture when he was about to fight?After all, this political and ideological work still needs to be done well, and it cannot be sloppy.

I saw Zhang Tianhai climbed onto the turret of the tank again, and said loudly: "Brothers, everyone, be quiet!"

As soon as Zhang Tianhai said this, the noisy scene just now quieted down, and the eyes of the rout soldiers turned to the man who said he would lead them out of the encirclement of the Japanese army.

For a moment, the quiet here was in stark contrast to the noise on the river beach.

"Brothers, Nanjing can no longer be defended. The Japanese army has entered Nanjing. We must find a way to survive. Otherwise, none of us will be able to survive when the little devil reaches the riverside! We must break through and fight a bloody way! I, Zhang Tianhai, am the head of the first regiment directly under the theater. Originally, the order our regiment received was to open the way for the chiefs of the minister’s department, the agencies and troops directly under it. Even my troops have all crossed the Yangtze River, so there is no People want to ask, why do I want to stay here?" Zhang Tianhai's voice was as loud as a bell, very loud.

Before waiting for the people below to answer, he continued: "The Japanese army is raging on our land, and it's time to retreat, but there are still many officers who have not had time to inform our officers and soldiers that it is time to retreat. We are all soldiers. , are all part of the anti-Japanese forces. I don't want to see you die in vain on this chaotic battlefield, so I stayed. Among you, some are teaching the general team, some are from the 87th Division, and some are from the 88th Division , and the Gendarmerie in the garrison area, in short, you are all the elite of the national army!"

Zhang Tianhai is laying the groundwork, he still understands what he wants to express, he must incite the blood and morale of this group of people!
"You are still strong, you are great, and you are real soldiers! Little Japan was born and raised by his mother, and he also carried a head on two shoulders. Why should we let them kill? Brothers, pick up your The gun in my hand tells me, can we let it be slaughtered?!" Zhang Tianhai roared as if exhausting all his strength, his whole face was already flushed.

"No!" The officers and soldiers below responded in unison.

"Speak up, can you act like a man!?" Zhang Tianhai roared again.

"cannot!!!"

"cannot!!!"

This time the voice was much louder than the last time. Everyone was roaring. It was a stubborn voice that refused to admit defeat and was not afraid of death. It couldn't help but make the surroundings look sideways—this army doesn't look like a mob. This is a screaming army!
Even Liu Ying, the brigade commander of the [-]th brigade who was in charge of directing the retreat on the pier, felt the unusual atmosphere here.

"Head Wu, what do you think this piece of Yulin is doing over there?" Liu Ying asked Wu Guangzong, the head of the [-]th regiment beside him.

Wu Guangzong shook his head and said, "I don't know about the brigade seat, but I can tell from the humble position that Zhang Yulin is not an easy person. If we can create such an effect with a defeated army, if we go up , it may not be able to achieve his level, right?"

"Indeed, Zhang Yulin is a talented person, but if he only leads such a group of rout soldiers, he may have a good chance of winning the siege, but if he brings thousands of people, it will not be so easy, right?" General Liu Ying His eyes turned to Fang Lie, a commoner on the other side, and his eyes were already worried.

Zhang Tianhai led his special agent company to temporarily set up a penetration team on the riverside. This behavior undoubtedly benefited Liu Ying, the commander of the No. 30 Sixth Division at Heji Wharf—at least the wharf. The order on the side has relatively recovered a lot, and the boarding speed of officers and soldiers of the 36th Division has also increased a lot.

No matter from the perspective of being from the 36th division or Zhang Tianhai's behavior, Liu Ying did not want Zhang Tianhai to die in this battle!What's more, Zhang Tianhai shouldn't be here in the first place, should he?

Liu Ying asked herself, if she was herself, she might not be able to do what Zhang Tianhai did.

"Traveler, are you saying that these common people will become a burden to Commander Zhang, right?" Wu Guangzong asked in a deep voice, and he could hear Liu Ying's worry.

"Who knows?" Liu Ying said with a wry smile, "Zhang Tianhai has made his mark ever since he entered the Songhu battlefield. The headquarters also killed two Japanese army captains, he has given too many surprises. I can't see through him."

Wu Guangzong gritted his teeth and said to Liu Ying: "Brother, since Commander Zhang is from Whampoa like us, and he came from the No. 30 Sixth Division, I want to help Commander Zhang and the others!"

"Oh? How to help each other?" Liu Ying asked, then thought for a while and added: "You can help at the right time, but you should not overdo it. You must know that Zhang Yulin's starting point is good, but he left the army before the battle and defied the military order. The two charges cannot be escaped, and this matter will definitely be mentioned after the war."

"Traveler, I understand what you mean, I am afraid that we will be dragged into it, right?" Wu Guangzong said, "But please rest assured, I am going to send a company of troops to help, after all, With our speed of crossing the river, even if it is dawn, it is impossible to transport all the troops across the river. Instead of this, it is better to send a capable regiment to help Zhang Yulin."

I saw Liu Ying caressing the beard under his long face, thought for a while and said: "Yes, in addition to sending an infantry company, let's send a machine gun company from your department there!"

Originally, Wu Guangzong felt a little distressed to transfer a fully armed cannon company to Zhang Tianhai's command, but when he thought of the brigade commander's intention, he immediately saluted: "Yes, brigade seat!"

Yes, for the No.30 Sixth Division crossing the river, the first thing to keep is people and guns, and the last is heavy equipment such as heavy machine guns and mortars. As long as the 36th Division is still there, as long as the division seats If it is still there, the lost weapons and equipment will eventually be replenished.

But the people are gone, and the old foundation of the 36th Division is gone, so the 36th Division is really over.

As a qualified commander, Liu Ying naturally knew what was the priority. Anyway, these heavy weapons might not be used anymore, why not give Zhang Tianhai a favor?Let him make good use of these troops and fight to break out!
