Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 219 The chairman commissioned him to convey

"Chairman!" said the chief of staff, "The Japanese army sent a letter to Nanjing to persuade them to surrender."

"Oh?" Commissar Jiang couldn't help staring, and asked, "What did Commander Tang say?"

"Of course Commander Tang refused."

Then the chief of staff's tone sank: "However, after the commander of Chaoxiang Gongjiu heard the news, he immediately asked the troops to launch a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongjimen, Guanghuamen, and the third peak of Zijin Mountain. The battle situation was even worse than the previous two days. For intense.

Especially in the southeast of Nanjing City, because the Fukuo position was basically lost, the Japanese army directly attacked the city wall. "

"Then how should the Nanjing General Headquarters respond?" Commissar Jiang asked anxiously, staring at the chief of staff with a serious face.

"After discussing with Commander Tang of the Weiwu Command and Deputy Commander Luo and others, he urgently ordered the 83th Division of the 156rd Army to reinforce the defense of the Guanghuamen and Tongjimen city walls, and rushed to build preparatory fortifications for street fighting at various points in the city. At the same time, the 66th Army was transferred from Dashuiguan and Yanziji to the city, deployed and built fortifications in Zhongshan Gate and Xuanwu Gate, and prepared for street fighting.

They also ordered the 103rd Division and 112th Division, which had just withdrawn from Zhenjiang into Nanjing, to be commanded by Captain Gui of the Teaching Corps to be responsible for the defense of the city wall near Zhongshan Gate and the Zijin Mountain position.

As for Yuhuatai, due to the coordinated attack by the main force of the two divisions of the Japanese army and infantry, artillery, tanks and aviation, the first-line position on the right wing guarded by the 2th Division of our army was completely destroyed, and its remnants were forced to retreat to the second-line position. . "

"Hey! The situation is very serious!" Hearing this, Commissar Jiang couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, his brows were furrowed, and he was unhappy.

After a while, he finally asked: "Chief of Staff! Tell me, is the combat effectiveness and morale of our troops far inferior to that of the Battle of Songhu?"

The chief of staff raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Chairman, what do you mean?"

"They defended the main area outside Nanjing, and lost it in only two or three days. The Fukuo position was not stable, and the enemy broke through in the main direction and forced the city wall. The Japanese army successfully crossed the river near Dangtu. "

At the end, Commissar Jiang couldn't help scolding: "Damn Xipi! How did they lead troops to fight, these bastards?"

The chief of staff was taken aback immediately, not daring to refute.After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Chairman, do you think the Nanjing defenders will be surrounded by devils?"

But Commissar Jiang did not answer, but kept pacing back and forth, thinking.

Finally, he turned around and said, "Chief of Staff! Send a telegram to Commander Gu in the Jiangbei Third War Zone and ask him to call Commander Tang and get ready to retreat from the Nanjing defenders."

"Retreat?" The chief of staff's expression changed drastically, and he asked hastily, "Didn't Commander Tang promise to defend Nanjing City?"

But Commissar Jiang glanced at the other party and snorted: "Are you going to use my 30 troops to bury Nanjing City? When there are no troops, who in the country will listen to me?"

When the chief of staff heard this, his expression changed again.
-
Nanjing Headquarters.

Commander Tang looked sternly and studied with Deputy Commander Luo in front of the battle map.

Then the phone rang.

Chief of Staff Zhou immediately ran over to pick him up.

Afterwards, he put down the phone and walked quickly to Commander Tang: "Commander Tang! Commander Gu from the third district is calling for you."

"Commander Gu looking for me?" Commander Tang couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Chief of Staff Zhou nodded.

Commander Tang immediately ran over and picked up the phone: "Hello, Commander Gu! This is Tang Zhixin. What can I do?"

"Commander Tang! Commander Gu's voice came from the phone: "How is the situation in Nanjing? "

"Not optimistic."

"Commander Tang! How long do you think you can keep guard?"

"This..." Commander Tang was at a loss for words.

"Commander Tang! I'll just say it straight." Commander Gu's tone on the phone sank.

Upon hearing this, Commander Tang frowned, and asked quickly, "Say it."

"Now Nanjing City is surrounded by the Japanese army, and the city will be destroyed soon. You might as well cross the river and come to my Jiangbei side first."

"I'll leave first?" Commander Tang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "What about the defenders?"

"You want other troops to see the situation before breaking through!"

Commander Gu's tone of dissatisfaction came over the phone: "Don't you remember what Commissioner Jiang once said? Since the Devils are aggressive and well-equipped, instead of fighting recklessly, it is better to avoid the edge and trade space for time strategy?
"Is that so?..."

Commander Tang hesitated a little. He thought that because he had strongly advocated holding on to the defense, if he suddenly withdrew first now, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the responsibility in the future.

"Commander Gu! Let me think about it again."

After hanging up the phone, Commander Tang walked back with a heavy heart.

"Commander Tang! Is there any bad news?" Deputy Commander Luo asked quickly when he saw it.

"No." Commander Tang shook his head, and then told the content of the conversation with Commander Gu just now.

"Why did Commander Gu ask us to retreat at this time? Did he forget that we promised to defend Nanjing in front of Commissar Jiang?" Deputy Commander Luo asked in surprise.

"I guess it might be that the chairman entrusted him to convey the message." Commander Tang replied after a moment of thought.

"Well... that's right." Deputy Commander Luo thought for a while, nodded, and then said: "In mid-November last year, the Chairman held three senior staff meetings in a row to raise the issue of who would guard Nanjing, but no one said anything. , it was you, Commander Tang, who dared to stand up.

However, I guess, in fact, the chairman does not want to wipe out the troops and devils.But because it was said at the beginning that you were required to defend Nanjing, it is not easy to let you retreat directly, so others will tell you what you mean. "

"Yeah, I guessed it too, but now he told me to retreat. It just depends on how I arrange it." Commander Tang pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows.

Deputy Commander Luo also said with embarrassment: "The most important thing now is, how do we explain to the guarding officers and soldiers?"

"I don't know either." Commander Tang shook his head with a bitter face.

Everyone was silent for a while.

After a long while, Commander Tang murmured: "If we want to evacuate, we must first convey the intention of Commissar Jiang to the defending general before we can evacuate."

"Two commanders, why don't you take advantage of tonight's banquet to express to everyone."

At this time, the chief of staff suggested next to him.
-
The heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a golden moon appeared in the sky above Nanjing.

Zhonghuamen side.

Zhao Zilong sat on the edge of the horse path, wiping the dagger Dragon Blade.

There is a gap and a crack on this dagger, which was caused by his collision with the opponent's sword in the close combat with Captain Tanaka last time.

"Brother! Ready to go." At this moment Wang Zhong came over.

"Okay." Zhao Zilong immediately put away the dagger and stood up.

"Chief of Staff! There is no need to arrange vehicles, we will go directly on foot." When he and Wang Zhong got off the horse path, he saw Sun Jian talking to the Chief of Staff.

As soon as Sun Jian saw the two of them, he immediately asked, "That restaurant is two or three kilometers away from Zhonghuamen, how about walking there?"
