Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 252 Arrangement to Retreat
Garrison Command.

"Everyone! Do you think you can continue to defend the city of Nanjing?"

Looking at the officers and generals present, Tang Zhixin asked solemnly.

Just now, he has briefly stated the current battle situation in Nanjing City, and now he is asking everyone for their opinions.

However, the officers present either looked at me or I looked at you, or bowed their heads and remained silent.

Seeing that none of the generals present at the meeting spoke, Tang Zhixin took out a telegram and said solemnly: "This is a telegram from the Chairman, and he ordered the defenders to retreat."

"retreat?"

When Xiao Lingshan heard it, his expression changed involuntarily.

Then he stood up, looked at Tang Zhixin and asked, "Commander Tang! Didn't you say you swore to defend Nanjing City?"

Tang Zhixin's face turned red, he was stunned and then said: "This is an order from the chairman of the committee, and the current situation cannot be decided by us."

"Commander Xiao! It is for everyone's good to retreat at this time. He wants to preserve the main force of our national army. If we are completely surrounded by devils, then we will not be able to break out of the encirclement."

At this time, Wang Jiu, the commander of the 71st Army, stood up and glared over.

Everyone looked at Xiao Lingshan and nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingshan's face became a little ugly, and he asked again: "If we retreat, what will the people in Nanjing do?"

"What else can we do? We have guarded the city of Nanjing for more than two months. If those ordinary people wanted to retreat, they would have left long ago. Those who are still left will not leave if you tell them to leave. And , the devils are mainly targeting our national army. If we all withdraw, they will not embarrass the people. Do you think the people in Shanghai are still living? It’s just that the owner has changed. What the devils want is a living city, not a dead city .”

Shen Congnian, the commander of the 71th Division of the 87st Army, said in a low voice.

"That's right. Commander Tang! Now that the orders have been issued, hurry up and release the retreat plan." Hu Qi, commander of the 71nd Brigade of the 87th Division of the 2st Army, immediately echoed.Originally, the generals above the division level were notified to come back to attend the meeting this time, but for some reason he also came.

"Commander Tang! Just issue the order."

The short commander of the Guangdong Army of the 66th Army also stood up: "We all swore last night that if we retreat, we must follow the plan."

Hearing what he said, most of the officers nodded their heads.

Wang Jiu, Shen Congnian, and Hu Qi from the 71st Army could not help but change their expressions slightly. The three looked at each other, and then shook their heads slightly.

Seeing what everyone said, Xiao Lingshan could only shake his head and sit down.

"Commander Xiao! After I leave, the command of Nanjing City will be handed over to your Military Police Department." Tang Zhixin looked at Xiao Lingshan and said.

Xiao Lingshan immediately straightened his body, and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my fate!"

Subsequently, Tang Zhixin, Chief of Staff Zhou, distributed to the generals the retreat orders and breakout plans that had been mimeographed by the Staff Office.

The basic spirit of this breakout plan is that most of them break out from the front, and some of them cross the river from Xiaguan with the headquarters.

However, after the written order was distributed, Tang Zhixin added a sentence: "87th Division, 88th Division, 74th Army and Teaching Corps, if you can't all break through, you can cross the river when there is a ferry, and assemble to Chuzhou."

The officers of the four troops all nodded their heads.

The other officers couldn't help being stunned, but Wang Jiu, Shen Congnian and Hu Qi opened their eyes, looked at each other, and secretly revealed a hint of a meaningful smile.

"Mr. Sun!"

When the officers left, Tang Zhixin stopped Sun Jian.

"Commander Tang! What's the matter?" Sun Jian stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"The chairman once entrusted me to find a way to protect Zhao Zilong. When you go back and order the troops to retreat, ask someone to protect Zhao Zilong and retreat to Wuhan safely." Tang Zhixin looked at the other party and urged.

"I see." Sun Jian nodded, and then went out to call his chief of staff.
-
On the side of the Zhonghuamen city wall.

Zhao Zilong couldn't help but feel a little strange seeing all the devils retreat to the position two kilometers away.

Since the last defeat, the devils have rested for more than an hour and have not come to attack.

Looking around, Zhao Zilong saw that although the national soldiers still maintained a look of vigilance, it could be seen from their expressions that everyone was exhausted.

"Brother Wang!" Zhao Zilong yelled when he saw Wang Zhong passing by with a tired face.

"What's the matter?" Wang Zhong paused, startled.

Zhao Zilong looked around, then pulled Wang Zhong aside, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang! To be honest, how many times can you keep guard?"

"How many times?" Wang Zhong stared, his expression changed, and he replied, "You can stay until night."

"At most once." Zhao Zilong looked at the other party's dishonesty and stared at him seriously.

"Hmm..." Zhao Zilong looked at him, and Wang Zhong suddenly felt uneasy. Then he smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Zhao Zilong's brows tightened. He looked around again and found that no one noticed him. He whispered, "Brother Wang! Didn't the master say to arrange the retreat?"

"Brother! You..." Wang Zhong's expression changed again, he quickly looked around, and looked at Zhao Zilong solemnly: "How do you know?"

Afterwards, he immediately remembered that Zhao Zilong had mentioned at the banquet that if he retreated, he couldn't help showing a dazed look, and asked, "Brother! Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with the chairman?"

"If I say that I haven't met the Chairman, would you believe me?" Zhao Zilong was speechless for a while.

"Then why are you so unpredictable?" Wang Zhong couldn't help but stare at him in surprise.

"I am a time traveler, of course I know." Zhao Zilong muttered in his heart, but he just shook his head: "Brother Wang! I judged based on the situation."

Seeing that the other party was still suspicious, he immediately changed the subject: "Brother Wang! What do you plan to do if the order to retreat from the division comes?"

"Brother! Actually, I don't want to withdraw." Wang Zhong shook his head: "At that time, the teacher told me and Lao Chen that he would retreat, because he was the teacher commander, so I didn't dare to question, let alone refute.

brother!Maybe you joined the military halfway, and you don't really know what it's like to be a soldier. Seeing that Zhao Zilong was stunned, Wang Zhong continued: "I really don't want to retreat. If I retreat this time, the capital will fall."

A soldier is to defend his home and country, if he can't even defend the country, is he still a soldier? "

Zhao Zilong's face was moved, and he couldn't help being a little shocked. He didn't expect Wang Zhong to say such righteous words, and he couldn't help but admire the battalion chief.

However, although there are many people in Nanjing who are as passionate as Wang Zhong, such as Xiao Lingshan, the situation cannot be controlled by others, let alone their will.

Suddenly, Zhao Zilong frowned. He sensed a movement on the other side of the moat, and immediately turned his head to look.

I saw the devils in the distance began to line up.

"Brothers! Raise your spirits, the devils are ready to attack."

Seeing that the devils in the distance were about to gather again, Wang Zhong immediately cheered up and shouted.

　Thank you 'Tan Ding' for the recommendation ticket.
