Chapter 37 Nanjing, Nanjing

Zhang Lieyang snatched the telegram, looked at it, threw it to Li Mutian and said, "Old Li, I have an errand for you! But the success or failure of this matter is related to whether we can defend Nanjing!"

"Junzuo, just say what you want!" Li Mutian said solemnly.

"That's good! I'm not welcome anymore! Old Li, I know you are an old man from the 87th Division! I want you to go to the riverside and take all the retreating soldiers from the 87th Division, 88th Division, 36th Division, Taxation Corps, and Teaching Corps to the river. Stop them all from being included! Remember they just didn't fight well in the Songhu defense battle and their chief ran away early and lost morale! I will let you no matter what method you use, so that they can quickly enter the battle!" Zhang Lieyang was excited Said!

"Okay! Military seat, don't worry!" Li Mutian left with the guards.

Seeing the back of Li Mutian leaving, Zhang Lieyang gave a deep sigh and ordered: "Master Fang Bisheng, you lead all of your 187th Division, and support Yuhuatai, Yangfangshan, and Yinkongshan to the defense of Yaohuamen at all costs until the whole Until the army and all personnel are evacuated! Master Wu Ziming, you must lead your 99th Division to take back Guanghua Gate and Tongji Gate and hold on for at least seven days! Master Liu Sihai, you lead your 717th Division to take back the city wall near Zhongshan Gate and the Zijin Mountain position, and wait for my order. You can retreat! Commander He Jianfeng, you lead your 557th Division to ensure that the personnel in the international safety zone can safely pass through Yuhuatai to reach the safe area! The 884th Independent Brigade sticks to Pukou, and the Zero Independent Artillery Brigade sends an additional regiment to strengthen the front-line defense of Pukou! The Independent Artillery Brigade The rest of the troops are stationed on the Yangtze River in the north. Whenever you see a devil’s warship, you will beat me to death! The Independent Armored Brigade is gathering on the front line of Zijin Mountain. The idea is to camouflage well and ensure that the vehicles can drive at any time! Special forces, guards and me Clean up the devils who have entered the city! Remember we don’t want prisoners! We are bloodthirsty wolves! Let’s go!”

"Yes! We promise to complete the task!" After saying that, all the people left!

Zhang Lieyang, who was fully armed, led the special forces and the guards to attack Nanjing City aggressively!

December 12 International Safe Zone.

"Ziyun, hurry up! The safe zone is ahead!" Tang Lijie shouted out of breath.

"It's all your fault! I had a big fight with your father, and now I have to hide from you!" Zhang Ziyun said strangely.

"I didn't expect the Japanese to come so soon!" Tang Lijie just finished speaking when he saw a group of Japanese soldiers rushing towards them.In a hurry, Tang Lijie quickly took out the gun from Zhang Lieyang, so Browning fired two shots at the Japanese devils, then pulled Zhang Ziyun and ran forward.

At this time, Zhang Lieyang, who led people into Nanjing City, heard the gunshots, and quickly approached the gunshots. When he saw the Japanese devils, he picked up the Type 95 assault rifle and fired at them without saying a word!

While shooting, Zhang Lieyang shouted loudly: "Take them and run forward!" Hearing Zhang Lieyang's order, the special forces team members pulled Tang Lijie and Zhang Ziyun up without saying a word and ran forward.When they were sent to the safe zone, the special operations team saw that it was Tang Lijie, so they asked curiously: "Master Tang, why are you here? Why didn't you leave?!" Without waiting for Tang Lijie to answer, he said to the people around him. Another special forces member said: "Call the young master over immediately! Just say that young master Tang is here!"

Soon Zhang Lieyang heard the report and rushed to the safe zone.Walking into the safe zone, Zhang Lieyang saw Tang Lijie, and angrily slapped him from the top up, saying: "What kind of trouble did you kid cause me! Don't even look at what time it is!" Zhang Lieyang said to the special forces team members beside him Said: "You guys find me the commanding heights nearby, and then control it! Remember, no matter what, you can't let the devils get close to the safe zone!" Zhang Lieyang walked towards the crowd and said: "It turns out that all of you are soldiers of the national army. Stand up for me! Don't be like the girls, just hide away! If you want to hide, don't even look at what time it is!"

Just when Zhang Lieyang was about to continue, a soldier came out and said, "Don't stand and talk without pain in your back! All the officials have run away, and we are the only soldiers left!" Before the soldier could continue, look The special forces members who did not pass said: "All the officials have run away! Our military seat is determined to die, and under the orders of President Jiang and the Supreme Commander's Department, we have traveled thousands of miles to reinforce Nanjing! We are a well-known hundred in North China. Fighting the lion!" Speaking of the sound of guns in the distance, the special forces member continued: "You heard it! Our new Thirteenth Army is now fighting with the Japanese devils to retake the land you discarded!"

At this time, I heard Zhang Xiangwu's voice from the walkie-talkie: "Military seat, military seat!" Zhang Lieyang picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "How is the situation there?"

"Report to the military seat, the safe passage has been opened, the safe passage has been opened!" Zhang Xiangwu reported to Zhang Lieyang.

"Very good! We will immediately send people to evacuate the people in the safe zone!" Zhang Lieyang said to the remnant soldiers: "If you can still hold a gun and think you still have the backbone of a Chinese soldier, come with me and fight with the little devil! Anyone who thinks they don’t have the guts to leave with the refugees!”

Just when the remnant soldiers were hesitating, He Jianfeng ran over and said, "Report to the military seat, our 557th division has established three lines of defense near the safety zone, please give instructions to the military seat!"

"Arrange people to send them away immediately!" Then he said to Zhang Xiangliu: "You take three special forces to protect Young Master Tang from here!"

"Don't worry, young master, I promise to complete the task!" Zhang Xiangliu took Tang Lijie and Zhang Ziyun away with three people.

As soon as Zhang Xiangliu and the others left, the soldier who was talking to Zhang Lieyang said: "Brothers! We will fight with this army commander and the little devil!" Then he turned to Zhang Lieyang and said, "Report to the 88th Division, 262nd Brigade, 523rd Regiment Chang Wu begs to report to the instructor!"

"Wu Qiu, immediately lead all the soldiers here to the north city gate, where my deputy army commander Li Mutian will reorganize the retreated soldiers! Whether Nanjing can be defended or not will depend on you!" he said. Zhang Lieyang said to the confidential staff next to him: "Send the report immediately!"

The confidential staff officer opened the notebook and waited for Zhang Lieyang's order.After thinking for a while, Zhang Lieyang said: "Chairman Jiang, the Supreme Command! The new Thirteenth Army arrived in Nanjing on December 12. Because Tang Shengzhi and other senior national army generals abandoned their troops overnight, most of Nanjing has now fallen to the enemy. I am now leading my troops to fight the enemy for Nanjing. I hope the Supreme Command can give me the right to command the other defenders in Nanjing who have not retreated! Zhang Lieyang, commander of the new No.12 Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was born on the 13th day of the Republic of China On the twelfth day of the month!" Then Zhang Lieyang said to He Jianfeng: "You transfer a brigade to the Mufu Mountain and Yanziji area, and when you encounter the enemy, you must resist me, so that the soldiers and civilians here have plenty of time to evacuate !"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" He Jianfeng picked up the walkie-talkie and began to mobilize the troops.

At this moment, three foreign reporters grabbed Zhang Lieyang who was about to leave and said, "Your Excellency, can we be your military reporters?!"

Zhang Lieyang thought for a while and said, "Of course!" Then he transferred a platoon from his guard group and said, "From now until we leave, you must protect the safety of the three of them, understand?"

"We promise to complete the task!" The guard platoon followed the reporter and left.

To the north of Nanjing City, Li Mutian led the guard company to intercept a large number of remnants who had escaped from Nanjing along the way.Those who were originally from the 87th Division all stopped when they saw Li Mutian.Some remnant soldiers shouted: "Why do you block my way?!"

Without saying a word, Li Mutian stepped forward and said with a kick: "Just rely on my brothers to fight the little devils on the ground you abandoned!" Li Mutian looked at these remnant soldiers and roared angrily: "Direct troops? Look at you now, do you still look like a soldier? You are a mob! Where are you going to put the folks in Nanjing? You are simply embarrassing our Chinese soldiers! If you are part of our new Thirteenth Army Soldier, I have already killed him!"

At this time, a person came out and said, "Li Canzuo! We don't want to run away either! But what use are we if all the officials run away?!"

Li Mutian followed the voice and looked over and said, "Good job, Zhu Peiming! All the officials have run away! Let me tell you, all the officials in our new 88th Army are on the front line to organize the fight against the little devils!" When Li Mutian was speaking, Wu Qiu ran over to salute and said, "Report to Lieutenant Commander Li, Wu Qiu, commander of the 262rd Regiment of the 523nd Brigade of the [-]th Division, was ordered by the instructor Zhang Lieyang to report to you for reorganization, and at the same time bring the commander of the Supreme Command. Command!" Wu Qiu took out the telegram as he spoke.

Li Mutian took the telegram and looked at it and read it aloud: "Zhang Lieyang, commander of the new No. 13 Army, you can lead your troops to Nanjing in an emergency. I am very consoled! You are now ordered to command your troops to resist the pace of the Japanese army desperately." ! At the same time, you are granted the right to control all the troops left in Nanjing! Chiang Kai-shek, December 26, [-] of the Republic of China!"

After hearing Li Mutian finished reading the telegram, everyone fell silent.Li Mutian put away the telegram and looked at all the people and said, "Everyone, eat a good meal here now, and then follow my order to support Nanjing City!"

When these remnants went to eat, Chief of Staff Liu Fengming walked up to Li Mutian and said, "Old Li! Do you know how many people we have recruited?"

"How much?" Li Mutian asked back.

"A total of 8 people!" Liu Fengming said with a sigh.While Liu Fengming and Li Mutian were talking, a person ran over and said, "Report to Lieutenant Commander Li, I am Zhang Haibing, the commander of the artillery regiment directly under the 88th Division. And the cannons of the teaching corps are hidden behind Zijin Mountain!"

After hearing the news, Li Mutian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called: "Military seat, military seat! I am Li Mutian!"

"Tell me something!" Zhang Lieyang's voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Someone in the military seat reported just now that the guns of the three moral trainers and the teaching corps are behind Zijin Mountain!" Li Mutian said excitedly.

After hearing Li Mutian's news, Zhang Lieyang said with a smile: "God help me!" Then Zhang Lieyang said to Li Mutian: "Immediately find a way to concentrate all these cannons on Yuhuatai, Yangfangshan, Yinkongshan and Yaohuamen! After finishing speaking, Zhang Lieyang climbed into a tank parked on the roadside, checked it, got out and said to the special forces: "Drive all the tanks parked on the roadside to Yuhuatai, Yangfangshan, and Yinkongshan for me." Gather at the front line of Yaohua Gate!" As Zhang Lieyang spoke, he picked up the phone and connected with Li Mutian and said, "Old Li, immediately find the tankers from the remnants you intercepted and send them to Yuhuatai, Yangfangshan, and Yinkongshan. Near the front line of Yaohua Gate!"

"Okay! I'll do it right away!" Saying that, Li Mutian and Liu Fengming went to find someone.

December 12 at 12pm.

Zhang Lieyang led the special forces all the way to the warehouse.Walking into the warehouse, Zhang Lieyang immediately asked: "How much ammunition and other supplies are there?"

“报告步枪弹库存1亿发。山野炮弹22万发,坦克炮、步兵炮、迫击炮弹150万发,高射炮弹、战防炮弹各5万发。粮秣储备有50万人,10万匹马两个月份的储备。”独立969旅的军需官说道。

"Okay! Immediately send all the shells to Yuhuatai and Yangfangshan, Yinkongshan and Yaohuamen!" Zhang Lieyang had just finished ordering when he heard Zhang Xiangchun's voice from the walkie-talkie: "Young master, military seat, we have The brothers found out that General Ye Zhao of the No.60 Sixth Army is still leading his troops to resist the Japanese army outside the Gate of China!"

"You must monitor their movements, and I will send troops to reinforce them immediately!" Zhang Lieyang picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Chief Liu Fengming, immediately mobilize 1 soldiers after reorganization, and bring weapons and ammunition to Zhonghuamen to support the 66th Army! "

"We'll be there soon!" Liu Fengming went to mobilize the staff as he said that!

Zhang Lieyang followed the ammunition truck to Yuhuatai.At this time, the artillery transferred from behind Zijin Mountain was already in place!But at this moment, a brigade of the Tani Hisao Division of the Japanese Sixth Division was constantly attacking the position of the 969th Brigade of the newly formed Thirteenth Army!Facing the wolves and tigers of the newly formed [-]th Army, the soldiers of this brigade were a little scared. The brigade captain Ye Pingbalang commanded his troops and insisted on attacking forcefully.

"Captain Gangtian, Captain Okada, our army was fiercely blocked by a brigade of Chinese troops at the Yuhuatai position, requesting support, requesting support." Captain Daye desperately called his officer, the 6th Division of the 13th Division The captain of the [-]th regiment, Okada Takahisa.

"Bage, Mr. Daye, you need to break through quickly. I'll ask for air support right away. Remember, the Yuhuatai position must be taken. If you can't take it down, you can directly commit yourself to the Emperor." Yasuyuki Okada roared angrily. .

At this moment, Zhang Lieyang had already arranged the anti-aircraft artillery position, and came to the Yuhuatai position with the special forces.

Zhang Xiangwu saw Zhang Lieyang who hadn't masked for a long time and said with a smile: "Master, why are you here? It's dangerous here!"

"Why can't I come?! There are my brothers here!" Zhang Lieyang said solemnly: "You must guard this place for me, and I will retreat from here in the end!"
