Chapter 225 Chaos

Hao Jinyuan thought about it carefully, and felt that what Wang Zhengdao said was right, and his complexion improved a bit. Just when he was about to say something, the phone at the headquarters rang, and Hao Jinyuan immediately went to answer the phone.

After putting down the phone, Hao Jinyuan reported to Wang Zhengdao: "Master, it's a call from the Garrison Command. Let's go over to have a meeting."

Wang Zhengdao said suspiciously: "What the hell is Tang Wuneng going to do? Now that the outlying positions are basically lost, he doesn't want to regain them. What kind of meeting is there at this time?"

Hao Jinyuan said calmly: "He said on the phone that the leader's order should be conveyed and all senior officers should go over."

Hearing that Tang Wuneng was going to deliver the leader's letter, Wang Zhengdao couldn't say anything, so he could only go to the garrison headquarters with Hao Jinyuan.

Not long after Hao Jinyuan and Wang Zhengdao arrived at the garrison headquarters, senior military officials from Nanjing also came one after another.

When everyone was fully present, Tang Wuneng walked in from the outside, sat down on the main seat, and said solemnly: "Now that Nanjing's outer positions are all lost, do you have any suggestions?"

Immediately after Tang Wuneng finished speaking, someone said, "Commander Tang, what advice do you have? We can only fight street fighting in Nanjing City and fight the Japanese."

The person who spoke was 36 and seven years old, but he had a serious face, which seemed a bit majestic. The most striking thing was that there were two gold stars on the person's shoulders, obviously a lieutenant general officer.

Hearing this man's words, Tang Wuneng said: "Commander Yu, the current situation is too dangerous. If we really fight against the Japanese, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

Commander Yu said sarcastically: "Before the outbreak of the war, Commander Tang made a firm promise that he would live and die with the city of Nanjing. Now that the Japanese are approaching the city, some people are going to take back what they said."

The reason why this person dared to satirize Tang Wuneng so much was because he was a direct descendant of Principal Chang and a student of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. His name was Yu Liangzhen, and he was also the commander of the 74th Army.

Hearing Yu Liangzhen mocking him so much, Tang Wuneng was angry, but he knew that these Whampoa students were not easy to mess with. They had a lot of classmates and friends in the party and army, and formed a thick network of relationships. No one in Principal Chang's direct line could do anything about it, so he pretended to sigh and said, "Someone Tang also wanted to stick to Nanjing, but the leader issued an order to evacuate Nanjing when we can't do anything, in order to preserve our vitality."

Yu Liangzhen said uncertainly, "Is it true that the leader gave the order?" After speaking, he looked at Tang Wuneng with suspicion in his eyes.

Seeing Yu Liangzhen's suspicious gaze, Tang Wuneng was terribly angry, but he couldn't help these disciples of the emperor, so he took out a warrant from his bosom, handed it to Yu Liangzhen, and said angrily: "This is the leader's own warrant. If Yu Liangzhen If the commander doesn’t believe it, then see for yourself.”

Yu Liangzhen quickly took over the warrant, opened it and looked carefully, and saw that it read: "If the form cannot last, the camera can be retreated to preserve the strength to counterattack in the future."

Yu Liangzhen was a student of Principal Chang, so he naturally recognized the handwriting on it, so he had no choice but to stop talking and handed the warrant to other people present.

After everyone had read the warrant, they had nothing to say. After all, most of the main troops guarding Nanjing were direct descendants of Principal Chang, and all the officers were from Whampoa. These people were the most loyal to Principal Chang, even in their hearts. If you have opinions, you will not object to Principal Chang's order.

Seeing that the people present at the meeting were silent, Tang Wuneng said, "Since everyone has no opinions, Tang has decided to abandon Nanjing. All the ministries will retreat alternately tonight to preserve their strength and plan to counterattack in the future."

Everyone at the meeting knew that Nanjing could not be defended, and with President Chang's warrant, they had no objection to evacuating Nanjing, but they didn't expect to be so anxious, and they couldn't help but look at me and I look at you, thinking Some small calculations.

At this time, Tang Wuneng began to arrange how to evacuate, and it took two or three hours before the arrangement was completed.

After arranging the evacuation, Tang Wuneng announced the end of the meeting and left the meeting room first.

At this time, the chief of staff, Zhou Aishi, was ready. When he saw Tang Wuneng coming out, he came up and reported: "Commander, my subordinates have confiscated the ships left by the 58th Division and the [-]th Division. Now they are ready and we can withdraw at any time."

Tang Wuneng frowned, and then asked suspiciously: "These two troops are direct descendants of the leader, why did you choose to confiscate their ships, and you can just confiscate one."

Zhou said helplessly in fear of death: "Commander, the troops who left ships in Nanjing City are all the direct descendants of the leader, so the subordinates can only choose the ones closest to us. The reason why the two ships were confiscated is because their ships Not as big as ours, it can only transport about a thousand people at a time, and there are more than 2000 staff and guards in the headquarters, and the subordinates can only confiscate two ships."

Tang Wuneng thought about it. Most of the people in the headquarters are his direct descendants. It is not a last resort to abandon them. Anyway, the people who were robbed are all the direct descendants of Principal Chang. There is no difference between offending one and offending two. Now it's time to save your life, and you can't take care of these things, so you put your mind to one side, and said flatly: "No matter how many, the outer positions are all lost, and the Japanese will soon besiege the city. We will evacuate now."

Now that the situation is getting more and more critical, Zhou is afraid of death and wants to leave Nanjing earlier, so he immediately ordered the personnel in the headquarters to pack up and evacuate, and then rushed to the dock with Tang Wuneng.

Due to the increasing threat of the Japanese army, Tang Wuneng boarded the ship immediately after arriving at the pier, and left Nanjing immediately after the people from the headquarters arrived.

After Wang Zhengdao and Hao Jinyuan returned to the station, they realized that the ship had been confiscated by the people from the headquarters. The two of them immediately turned red-eyed. After all, this ship was the last guarantee of the [-]th Division.

At this fatal moment, Wang Zhengdao couldn't care less, and immediately ordered the guard battalion to gather, and then led people to the pier, intending to snatch the ship back.

After arriving at the pier, he found that the boat was empty. Seeing this situation, Wang Zhengdao cursed angrily, but he had no choice but to take people back to the division headquarters.

Seeing Wang Zhengdao's return, Hao Jinyuan hurriedly asked, "Master, how's the situation? Did the boat come back?"

Wang Zhengdao said bitterly: "There are no more boats on the pier. It seems that Tang Wuneng, the grandson, has run away."

Hearing this result, Hao Jinyuan said anxiously: "This can be done in this way. Now that the evacuation is so urgent, even if there is a boat, it is very dangerous, let alone now."

Wang Zhengdao said calmly: "I'll ask someone to see if I can evacuate with others," and then he picked up the phone and called.

But after making three consecutive phone calls, no one answered. At this time, an investigator came to report: "Master, our friendly troops on the left and right flanks have abandoned their positions and started to evacuate. The Japanese have already pressed up."

Wang Zhengdao's face immediately became ugly, and then he cursed loudly: "These bastards have already started to evacuate. If you mess around like this, no one of you can escape."

Hao Jinyuan said sadly: "Now that Tang Wuneng has run away, the people below naturally have their own thoughts. I'm afraid we can't evacuate as planned."

Wang Zhengdao immediately ordered the investigators to continue to watch the situation. After thinking about it, he said calmly: "The situation is completely chaotic. It seems that the Songhu retreat will happen again, and we have to make some preparations."

Hao Jinyuan sighed and said: "The reason why we were able to retreat in the battle of Shanghai was because we had prepared in advance, but the situation is different now. Tang Wuneng snatched our reserved ships, and we couldn't cross the Yangtze River at all. It's really dangerous now."

Hearing Hao Jinyuan's words, Wang Zhengdao kept walking around the division headquarters, thinking about how to deal with the current crisis.

At this time, another investigator came to report the situation: "Master, most people are evacuating to several piers, especially the Xiaguan Pier, which is even more overcrowded. The current situation is completely chaotic. I heard that there are still a few A division commander left his troops and escaped by himself in a boat."

This situation did not surprise Wang Zhengdao. After all, many generals are good at this, so he said calmly: "We must find the ship now, only in this way can we escape from danger."

Hao Jinyuan frowned and said: "But we don't have ships at all now, and the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Even if other troops leave some ships behind, they won't let us aboard. I can't think of leaving the troops and fleeing alone. "

Wang Zhengdao said calmly: "There are still two small steamers on the Yangtze River, the two that Li Yunsheng snatched from Xingtang."

Hao Jinyuan's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "I understand what the teacher means, but now I can't contact this student, and the situation is so dangerous, I'm not completely sure that I can let him come back." Accept us."

Wang Zhengdao said calmly: "Send a telegram to Commander Chen and report the current intelligence. I think the Commander will be able to contact Li Yunsheng. As for whether he will come back, it depends on how much face the Commander and you have."

Wang Zhengdao was not sure whether Li Yunsheng could bring the boat back to meet him, because the situation was too dangerous after all.

Hearing what Wang Zhengdao said, Hao Jinyuan nodded, and then asked cautiously: "Even if Li Yunsheng can come back, but he has been away for three or four hours, will there be enough time?"

Wang Zhengdao looked at the map on the wall, and then said confidently: "We retreat in the direction of Wangjinshan Wharf, and send out small troops to block the Japanese army alternately. This can buy a lot of time. As long as Li Yunsheng can come back, time should be enough."

Seeing that Wang Zhengdao already had a countermeasure, Hao Jinyuan no longer hesitated, and immediately sent a telegram to Chen Xiucheng in Wuhan to report the situation and asked Chen Xiucheng to contact Li Yunsheng.
