Chapter 45

Tang Shengzhi's so-called retreat and deployment meeting was extremely simple, except for a small mimeographed list, there was no cooperation and coordination among the various troops!There were no specific instructions even for alternate cover or centralized breakout. After the meeting, Tang Shengzhi quietly came to Xiaguan with several staff officers and guards from the Garrison Commander's Department, but was stunned by the crowds of refugees and stragglers. Thanks to Tang Shengzhi After identifying Huang Huade, director of the Political Department of the No.30 Sixth Division, he was able to board the ship smoothly.

This time, Tang Shengzhi, who was busy fleeing for his life, had long forgotten his order to close the river. After crossing the river, he didn't even want to wait for Song Xilian for 5 minutes, so he found a truck and left in a hurry.Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice Mountains and Rivers 1035

Tang Shengzhi's actions stunned the officers and soldiers of No.30 Sixth Division?Huang Huade was so angry that he scolded his mother directly. It would be unreasonable not to lose the battle with such a bastard chief!

Many officers and soldiers standing in Xiaguan stared blankly at the small steamer of Mr. Tang and his party heading for the north bank?The top officials have all run away, leaving us here to be loyal to the country?Some soldiers murmured softly, didn't Chief Tang say that he would live and die with Nanjing?At this moment, the city has not been lost, and the troops are still fighting the enemy with all their strength!Why did Chief Tang slip away by smearing oil on the soles of his feet?

Song Xilian did not catch up with Tang Shengzhi and his party, but he attended the last meeting of the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department. It can be said that after the meeting, the chiefs of all the troops basically went directly to Xiaguan, and the troops had long been thrown out of the sky. Now Xiaguan There are more and more routs, and even seven or eight German-made Type [-] tanks appeared in Xiaguan. It is said that Du Yuming, the head of the chariot regiment, also appeared in Xiaguan?

The appearance of the chariot regiment surprised Song Xilian. If so, the entire line of defense would collapse far faster than he expected. Now there are more than 3 officers and soldiers and 10,000+ people gathered near the pier. Air strikes or artillery attacks may cause heavy casualties.

Distraught and anxious, Song Xilian rushed to the other side of Xiaguan Wharf, and saw that all the officers and soldiers were gathering and reorganizing according to the divided areas. Song Xilian was slightly relieved, because he saw many brigade commanders and regimental leaders organizing As long as the army is not in chaos, there is still hope for Xiaguan. Song Xilian found Du Yuming, the two brigade commanders of the teaching corps, and Yi Anhua, the brigade commander of the No.80 Seventh Division.

Song Xilian said succinctly: "We must guard the Xiaguan Wharf, otherwise none of us will be spared when the Japanese kill us. The two regiments of my No. 30 Sixth Division are now crossing the river. Who would like to meet the enemy side by side with my No. 36 Division? "

It can be said that the defense of Nanjing has been exhausted. Tang Shengzhi's disorderly command and inaction prevented the troops outside and inside the city from establishing effective coordination. As a result, they were defeated one by one by the Japanese army, and retreat was a last resort. Of.

Du Yuming didn't even hesitate and said: "I still have the first and second companies of tanks, nineteen tanks, and my tank regiment is willing to advance and retreat with Master Song, and live and die together."

Several brigade commanders and regimental commanders present also expressed their willingness to obey Song Xilian's command. Song Xilian immediately deployed the defensive areas of the troops. The stragglers in Guan were also organized. Everyone knew that if the Japanese army really broke through the line of defense and entered the wharf of Xiaguan, the 10,000+ soldiers and civilians would be doomed. 7492643
