Chapter 86
In the city of Nanjing, after batches of national army soldiers who had been beaten and maimed on the Songhu battlefield withdrew into the city, many discerning people had noticed that many family members of high officials and lords packed up their belongings and left the city in a hurry.

People in the city were a little panicked, and rumors that the national government was going to move out of Nanjing were also circulating in the news circles in the alley.

In fact, at this time, many people with lofty ideals have already seen that after the fall of Shanghai, the elite of the national army was newly defeated, and the national capital of Nanjing City is geographically easy to attack and difficult to defend.So even though they were talking about how the government had transferred heavy troops, they knew in their hearts that defending Nanjing was just repeating the mistakes of Shanghai.

In the Supreme Military Committee of the Nationalist Government, in front of the huge oval conference table, a group of bigwigs sat upright, most of them were wearing military uniforms, and all of them had the rank of first-rank general.There are also civil affairs officials in suits, such as Minister Song. This time his Tax Police Headquarters shined brilliantly on the Songhu battlefield, but it made all the military leaders present very jealous.It can be said that apart from those who were fighting abroad, the top officials of the core departments of the national government sat here the most. If a bomb from the Japanese army fell here at this time, the national government would be paralyzed instantly.

"The chairman is here!" A loud voice came from outside the door.

"Pa-ta!" Everyone stood up straight.

"Sit down, all of you are called together to discuss the issue of Nanjing's defense, and all of you will talk about your views."

No one said that after working together for so many years, they are already seasoned foxes. Nanjing is the government of the country, and everything is decided by the Chairman Qiankun.For this kind of thing, the chairman will start it, set a tone, and then help people like himself to improve it.

Sure enough, there was less than two or three breaths of silence, and the chairman of the committee said, "Nanjing is the government of the country, and it is also the place where Mr. Sun's mausoleum is located. You must fight, you must fight, otherwise you will have nothing to say to the superior and the inferior!"

When everyone in the underground heard the word "confession", they immediately understood the chairman's thoughts clearly.That is to say, fighting must be fought, after all, it is the government of the country, how can we retreat without fighting?But the defense of Nanjing certainly cannot be like Shanghai, where the two armies set up a battle to die.Knowing that the current head-on confrontation is not an opponent and still going all out, that is stupid.Some of these first-level generals here are from the Japanese Army Military Academy, and they have a personal experience of Japan's national strength.

Although numbers are cold, they are the least deceiving.In the Songhu battlefield, the battle loss ratio in some local battles was as high as [-]:[-], which made the radicals who blindly wanted to repel the Japanese army at the beginning and retake the three eastern provinces feel as if a basin of ice water had been poured into their hearts.

"Chairman, Jiansheng thinks that two divisions from the Liu Xiang Department can be transferred to take on this important task." Starting from Bai Jiansheng, these big bosses began to express their opinions one by one.

During the whole meeting, there were as many as ten times of refilling in the attendants' room outside, and it was difficult for some old smokers to hold back a whole afternoon without smoking.

In the end, the chairman set a policy and decided to defend Nanjing with 12 regiments, and increase them as appropriate in the later period.In the end, the chairman looked at the crowd and asked the most important question, "The Nanjing issue has been decided in this way. Let's see who will be in charge?"

When a problem arises, all the bigwigs watch their hearts and minds, but no one is brave enough to stand out.If we usually suppress the Red Party or something, we can still fight for it. After all, at that time, the superiority of weapons and troops can be seen.But now defending Nanjing is almost a naked dead end.It is definitely impossible to keep it. If you walk slowly in the end, you may have to go to see Mr. Sun in advance. This is a thankless job.

"Chairman, I, Tang Mengxiao, are willing to be responsible for the defense!" For about a minute, no one showed up.At this time, Tang Mengxiao from the Baoding department stood up.His thinking is different from everyone else's. Since everyone knows that Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold on, then he will not blame himself for taking this job and being unable to hold on to the Chairman.It would be a daydream if we didn't talk about repelling the Japanese army if we made a name for ourselves.But if there is a bright spot in the local battle for the chairman to see, then that's all right.

The chairman nodded, "Jiansheng can't help you, so most of the chariots and bullets removed from the Songhu battlefield will be kept in Nanjing."

Tang Meng Xiao stood at attention, "A soldier pledged himself to the country. In this crisis, how can we be afraid of difficulties. Meng Xiao vowed to live and die with Nanjing!"

After the meeting, the Chairman left Nanjing by plane.The next day, the Nanjing Garrison Command was established in the Baiziting Mansion, and Tang Mengxiao became the most powerful person in Nanjing.

After Nanjing City entered into full-scale martial law, the plans in the Whampoa Military Academy could not keep up with the changes. The teaching corps, which had planned to evacuate with the military academy cadets and instructors, received an order to assist Tang Mengxiao, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison, to defend Nanjing City!
Tang Mengxiao also had no choice. It said that there were 12 regiments. After getting them, he found that some were empty and there were regiments. Although the formation was still complete, they had just been withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield, and the supplementary soldiers were still on the way. .So after Tang Mengxiao called the chairman to explain the difficulties, he stopped Gui Shuangzhen from staying in the military academy to teach the corps.

In the Whampoa Military Academy, it is rare to stay in the dormitory during the day without studying. This is not a weekend. Uncharacteristically, no one is happy, but sitting on the bed in the dormitory silently flipping through books, saying it is reading, and I don’t know where my thoughts have drifted.

"Beep! Beep! Beep~" The emergency assembly whistle sounded, and at the same time a voice sounded, "All students gather! Get ready to leave school!"

"Well, I'm going to leave after all, and I don't know if I can come back here in the future." Zuo Yuliang put his head on his hands and was leaning on the bundled quilt and staring out the window in a daze, when he heard the whistle, he sighed and got up.

Before he was about to leave the school, the chief education officer, Chen Jiji, had called all the captains to hold a mobilization meeting in person, and explained various matters related to the relocation, but he didn't disclose a word about the route and other information.At the same time, various political instructors went down to each brigade to mobilize each student spiritually.

It can be said that everyone is already mentally prepared to leave and knows where the end point is. What they don't know is the route.But when the whistle for assembly and parting sounded, I couldn't help but sigh.

"When I come back again, I will be like a sword and hit Nanjing City immediately!" Li Chong slapped the table with one palm, loudly.

"That's a good move! We will definitely come back!" Li Yinqing hooked Li Chong's shoulders. Originally, the family's idea was that he could go with the family by himself, and there was no need to walk into Sichuan as an ascetic monk, but Li Mengqing refused.

"Come on, let's say goodbye to this dormitory." Li Chong stretched out his palm, and the rest of the nine people put their palms on it, and then slapped the table heavily, and the crisp voice echoed in 114's dormitory.
