    Chapter 111: The situation in Nanjing (new book, please watch)

    After Li Guoyao saw that he had successfully mobilized the morale of the soldiers, he knew it was time to give some useful information, and immediately said again: "Brothers, you must have heard about the little devils who are going to carry out a massacre in our capital city of Nanjing.  Some people believe it, but some people don¡¯t believe it, and I can tell you as the person in charge here that this is true!¡±

    "The ferocity of the Japanese army is beyond everyone's imagination, especially the enemy's 6th Division. Everyone must remember that this Japanese army will be the mortal enemy of our independent brigade in the future. This division first fought in North China, from Yongding River to Zhengding  . Along the way, with the connivance of the division commander Hisao Tani, the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division burned, killed, raped, and committed all kinds of evil. They killed more than 9,000 civilians in Baoding and Zhengding alone. Now the little devils are going to carry out a larger-scale massacre in Nanjing City.  , do you agree?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t agree!!!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t agree!!!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t agree!!!¡±

    "Okay, we are all heroes! As decided by the brigade headquarters, our independent brigade will set off from Meishan tonight and enter Nanjing to participate in the defense battle!"

    Then Li Guoyao said again: "Brothers, I, Li Guoyao, don't want to lie to you. This time I went to Nanjing to pledge my life to the country. The chance of coming back alive is low, so if you didn't want me to force it, did you withdraw again?"

    "Nonono"

    In fact, it is not that no one is unwilling to enter the city to participate in the war at this time, but now the atmosphere in the army has been mobilized by Li Guoyao, and the young people don't care about anything when their heads are hot.  The remaining timid ones originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave the army, but when they saw that no one was willing to leave, they had no choice but to give up. After all, everyone has a herd mentality.

    "Very good, we are all real men with eggs, and I am here to assure you that you don't have to worry about weapons, equipment and ammunition during the battle, I will prepare them for you. Secondly, if you die in the battle, you don't need to worry about your family, as long as I  As long as Li Guoyao lives for one day, there is still one person in our Independence Brigade, so your family will be safe! Do you still have any questions?"

    "No problemno problemno problem"

    Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Since there is no problem, the three armies obey the order: those who have wives and children at home, come out!"

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, although everyone was puzzled, some soldiers still came out!

    "He who is the only son in the family, come out!"

    Another group of people came out!

    "Those who have a wife but no heirs, get out of the queue!"

    "If father and son are both in the army, the son will go out!"

    "If brothers are in the army together, let the younger brother stand out!"

    Soon, about a thousand people left the large army and stood at the front of the team, waiting for Li Guoyao's instructions!

    Li Guoyao said loudly: "Everyone who comes out is the remaining troops of our independent brigade, forming the third regiment of the independent brigade. Deputy brigade commander Xu Hu also serves as the regiment leader. Your unit's mission is to detour from Meishan to Tongjing Town, and then cross the river to the Yangtze River.  North shore, and start to collect a large number of ships, ready to meet the main force at any time, can you complete the mission?"

    Xu Hu was stunned at first, and then said: "Brigade, I am willing to follow you into the city to fight, even if I die nine times, I will not regret it!"

    "Shut up! Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. Military orders are like mountains. Doesn't Xu Hu know that?" Li Guoyao said loudly.

    "I know, but"

    "There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, keeping you is not just because you are the only son in the family or you have wives and children to support. What's more important is that whether we can leave the city alive depends on you. Do you understand?  !¡±

    "Understood, I promise to complete the task!" Xu Hu said loudly.

    Then Li Guoyao looked at the remaining troops, and then said to Wang Zhanhai and others: "I will give you one hour to reorganize the troops according to the establishment we set during the previous meeting. In an hour, the whole army will follow me to Nanjing."  !¡±

    "yes!"

    ?¡­

    Nanjing City. Garrison Headquarters.

    Cannons were rumbling outside the city, and the city was in chaos. Commander Tang Shengzhi was analyzing the battle situation with a group of senior generals.

    The huge headquarters is full of stars. In addition to the commander-in-chief, General Tang Shengzhi, there are also deputy commanders-in-chief, Lieutenant General Luo Zhuoying and Lieutenant General Liu Xing, the commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Xu Yuanquan, the commander of the 66th Army, Lieutenant General Ye Zhao, and the 71st Army.  Lieutenant General Wang Jingjiu, Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Sun Yuanliang, Commander of the 72nd Army, Lieutenant General Yu Jishi, Commander of the 74th Army, Lieutenant General Song Xilian, Commander of the 78th Army, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, Commander of the Training Corps, Major General Xiao Shanling, Deputy Commander of the Military Police  wait!

    The situation outside the city is getting worse and worse.?Therefore, although the garrison headquarters was full of stars, the atmosphere was very solemn and everyone was worried.

    "Brother You Qing, have the 36th Division and the 71st Army reached their designated positions?" Tang Shengzhi asked while checking the map.

    Two days ago, the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Headquarters discovered that the Japanese army was approaching the front-line positions. In particular, part of its 16th Division had penetrated into the vicinity of Hutang and Dahushan on the left side of Tangshui Town (later renamed Tangshan Town).  The 36th Division was ordered to quickly dispatch an infantry regiment to occupy the position near Qilin Gate to cover the flanks of the 66th Army and prevent the enemy from continuing to infiltrate.

    At the same time, the headquarters ordered the 71st Army in Zhenjiang and the 83rd Army in Zhenjiang and Dongchang Street to quickly move to Nanjing to strengthen Nanjing's defensive strength; it was stipulated that after the 71st Army was transferred, the Zhenjiang Fortress would be replaced by the 103rd Division  The division commander Dai Zhiqi commanded.

    You Qing is Luo Zhuoying's nickname. After hearing Tang Shengzhi's question, he immediately said: "We have reached the position and have exchanged fire with the Japanese army. In addition, the 2nd Army has just arrived near Qixia Mountain in Nanjing. The 41st Division is advancing to Longtan and Crow Mountain."  area to cover the transfer of the 71st Army and the 83rd Army."

    "Um!"

    After speaking, Tangshan City took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, Nanjing is about to become a besieged city and a battlefield. The committee also said it to everyone during the meeting the day before yesterday. Nanjing is the center of attention of the country and the world and cannot be given up easily.  I hope you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of holding on. I won¡¯t say much more, and now I¡¯ll let Deputy Commander Luo talk about the current situation!¡±

    Luo Zhuoying did not show any pretense and stood up directly and said: "According to the top-secret Japanese intelligence captured previously, there are two Japanese troops attacking Nanjing. They are the enemy's Shanghai Expeditionary Force, responsible for the attack north of Taihu Lake, and the other is Yanagawa.  Heisuke's Tenth Army is responsible for the battle on the south bank of Taihu Lake. The total strength of the army is about 7 divisions and two detachments, with a total of 180,000 people! In addition to the army, there are also a large number of navy, army, aviation and warships participating in the battle!"

    "As far as the current situation is concerned, the Japanese 6th, 114th, 9th, 3rd, and 16th divisions responsible for attacking Nanjing City have arrived at Shangyuanmen, Xiaowei, Gaoqiaomen, Yuhuatai,  In the area along the Cotton Embankment, artillery units from various divisions of the Japanese army have entered their positions; tank units have concentrated in the standby area and selected an attack route. They are obviously ready to attack!"

    Hearing Luo Zhuoying¡¯s words, everyone fell silent again.

    The little devil's speed is too fast. It is more than 400 kilometers from Shanghai to Nanjing. Even if you go at a high speed, you will have to walk for several days, not to mention that there are many defensive positions of the national army along the way.

    "But the little devils were stunned to fight over in just a few days. With such speed and combat effectiveness, there is really no one else."

    "The little devil came too fast!" Deputy Commander Liu Xing said.

    "Who says otherwise? The attack speed of the Japs is really beyond our imagination, especially the divisions on the south bank of Taihu Lake. The speed is really too fast. On the contrary, the Japs on the north bank of Taihu Lake are progressing very slowly!"  Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army.

    Luo Zhuoying said again: "The situation of the little Japs on the north bank and the south bank of Taihu Lake is different. The troops on the north bank are all affiliated to the enemy's "Shanghai Expeditionary Forces." These troops have been severely hit during the battle in Shanghai and suffered heavy losses.  Therefore, it began to be more cautious in its westward advance. In addition to supporting each other by advancing in parallel, it also paid great attention to the vigilance on both wings."

    "The situation of the enemy Yanagawa Heisuke's 10th Army on the south bank of Taihu Lake is the same. The 18th and 114th Divisions it belongs to were new divisions formed on September 9 and October 12 of that year.  , sufficient equipment; its 6th Division and Kunizaki Noboru's 9th Brigade were transferred from the North China battlefield. Hisao Tani's 6th Division also experienced the capture of Baoding and the fierce battles of Zhengding in the North China War, and landed in Songhu  They didn¡¯t suffer any big losses after the battlefield, so the attack speed was naturally different.¡±

    At this time, someone suddenly said: "If the defense fortifications in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou had not been lost, the situation would not have deteriorated to this point!"

    As soon as these words came out, the entire command headquarters was in silence, and you could hear a needle drop!
