Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 228 What to do if you retreat

Seeing that Zhao Zilong actually raised the issue of withdrawing troops in public.

Hu Qi was secretly happy, and then he couldn't help becoming more courageous, thinking that this was an opportunity to make the other party look ugly.

"Zhao Zilong! Do you know that you are disobeying military orders when you say that?"

"At this critical juncture in the War of Resistance, you don't say how to kill the devils, but ask everyone to retreat, which greatly affects morale. If the city is destroyed, you will become a sinner in history."

Hu Qi suddenly shouted righteously.

Wang Zhong, Sun Jian and the others were also stunned. They never expected that Zhao Zilong would ask such a question.

"Really?" Zhao Zilong snorted softly, staring at Hu Qi.

Zhao Zilong doesn't remember much about the history of the great retreat of the national army guarding Nanjing, but he knows that the 71st Army just didn't follow orders and was the fastest running army.This Hu Qi belongs to the 71nd Brigade of the 87th Division of the 2st Army.

If it is possible to stop these officers and carry out the order to retreat, withdrawing troops in an orderly manner or sticking to it, so what if he disobeys the military order?
If he can save the lives of more than 30 people in Nanjing, what if he becomes a sinner in history?

"Zhao Zilong, don't you believe it?"

At this time, Shen Congnian asked back: "You can ask Commander Tang, but he said in front of us that he would lead everyone to defend Nanjing to the death."

"Oh?" Zhao Zilong immediately turned his head, looked at Tang Zhixin with a half-smile, and asked, "Commander Tang! Are they talking about it?"

"This?..." Tang Zhixin's expression changed suddenly, and his brows were frowned.

Now, he didn't know how to answer.

"Commander Tang! Just tell Zhao Zilong. How did you say at the meeting, in front of us, in front of the Chairman, that you would stick to Nanjing and never retreat."

Hu Qi said immediately.

"Yes. Commander Tang, just tell him." Shen Congnian also echoed.

Seeing the eyes of many officers in the audience, Tang Zhixin was crying in his heart.

The reason why he stood up at the national defense conference where the Nationalist Party devoted itself to discussing the defense of Nanjing, saying that he would stick to Nanjing, was to make a comeback and regain military power.

He said that he could hold out for a few months, because he thought that the Japanese army might not have a real plan to attack Nanjing, but it might be just a bluff. If he led the troops to defend for a symbolic period of time, he would gain a good reputation for defending Nanjing after the Japanese army retreated.However, how could he say these small calculations?

Tang Zhixin turned his eyes around a few times, looked at Zhao Zilong, and said helplessly, "Zhao Zilong! You are really depressing morale by asking like this."

Immediately, his tone sank: "Did you know? The commander of the Japanese army, Chao Xiang Gongjiu, sent a letter from the air to persuade me to open the city gate and surrender, but I ignored it and continued to order all the troops to 'do their best with the determination to live and die with the position." Stick to it, and never give up an inch of land lightly.'”

"Yes. I've heard of this." Zhao Zilong nodded.

Of course he knew that back then, the Japanese army made preparations for the siege, such as deploying artillery and tanks into positions, and on the other hand, used planes to drop an ultimatum to the Chinese defenders from the commander of the "Central China Front Army" to persuade the Chinese defenders to surrender. .

The Nanjing Garrison Headquarters ignored the ultimatum of the Japanese army, and issued the "Wei Shen Zuo Zi No. 36" order as a reply on the same day.

"Do you know why I do this?"

Tang Zhixin continued: "I just want to use the spirit of "breaking the boat and sinking the boat" to let the officers present here lead the troops to fight to the death, and vow to live and die with the city of Nanjing."

Wu Xin, Sun Jian and others in the audience were wondering why Zhao Zilong would ask such a question just now, but now seeing that Tang Zhixin was forced to pledge to defend Nanjing again in public, they couldn't help secretly admiring it.

"Zhao Zilong! Did you hear what Commander Tang said? Do you have anything to say now?" Hu Qi asked immediately.

"Yes, don't think that you can ask such a question after making some contributions and being appreciated by the chairman." Shen Congnian also sneered.

"That question should never have been raised," said the little officer.

……

For a while, all the officers in the audience began to discuss in low voices.

Zhao Zilong saw that everyone's emotions were adjusted, he raised his hands high to signal them to be quiet, and then asked: "Then let me ask everyone, why do you want to guard Nanjing?"

"Hmph! Zhao Zilong, do you still want to ask this question?"

Hu Qi immediately said confidently: "We are here to defend the capital and protect the common people."

"Yes, that's right."

Everyone agreed.

"Okay. You are right, we will stick to Nanjing."

Zhao Zilong looked at the anger of the crowd towards him, but he smiled and asked, "Since everyone knows how to guard Nanjing, I'd like to ask the question just now. If Shangfeng asks you to retreat, what should everyone do?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Zhao Zilong!"

At this moment, Wang Jiu, commander of the 71st Army, widened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "As a soldier, should you ask this question?"

After taking a look at everyone, Wang Jiu continued: "Soldiers should obey the orders of the commander, as long as they obey the order and carry out the order. If the commander issues an order and the soldiers still ask questions, what else do the troops need to do?"

The question Wang Jiu raised was very tricky and hit the nail on the head.

"The commander is right. This question was not raised by the soldiers." Hu Qi and Shen Congnian immediately flattered Wang Jiu.

"This..." Zhao Zilong was also speechless for a moment when asked by the other party.

"He said that's right. Soldiers should obey the orders of their superiors, and subordinates should obey the orders of their superiors."

At this time, Haoxin came out to answer.

Seeing that Wu Xin also supported his statement, Wang Jiu couldn't help but smiled, and looked at Zhao Zilong with even more disdain.

Hu Qi and Shen Congnian glanced at each other, they both grinned, waiting for a good show.

On the other hand, Wang Zhong, Sun Jian and others looked a little dignified, and they were also a little surprised why Wu Xin spoke like that.

Zhao Zilong still looked at Wu Xin calmly, to see what the other party had to say.

Sure enough, after Wu Xin paused, his tone changed: "However, what if the soldier finds that the commander's order is wrong? Do you still want to carry out this order?"

"Haven't you heard that the general's orders are not accepted?
"The battlefield changes instantly. If you still stick to the original order, it will cause heavy casualties."

"Now the outlying positions are basically lost, and the city of Nanjing has been completely surrounded by the Japanese army. Zhao Zilong raised the issue of retreat at this time. Is there a problem?
Moreover, he just raised it in front of us, we are officers, and officers should not have a big picture, think about all aspects, and be prepared? "

Wu Xin's words immediately made Wang Jiu's face turn red and then pale, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Everyone was silent for a while.

"Commander Tang!"

Zhao Zilong turned his head, looked at Tang Zhixin, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked with a half-smile: "Everything changes instantly on the battlefield, so it's always right to plan ahead? Let me ask you, what should you do if you retreat?"

"This?……"

Tang Zhixin didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
