    Chapter 113: The Combat Mission of the Independent Brigade (Part 1)

    Half an hour later, just as the group of senior generals were arguing about how to defend the city, a loud "report" suddenly interrupted everyone's voices and attracted everyone's attention to the entrance of the command department.

    Looking up, I saw a young man in tattered clothes standing at the door with a solemn expression.

    Although this young man¡¯s clothes are full of holes, if you ignore the khaki woolen fabric and the military boots unique to officers on his feet, some people would believe him to be a beggar.

    But even so, none of the generals in the garrison headquarters dared to look down on this young man, because the aura that erupted from him was shocking.

    Although there was only one person at the door, in the eyes of these generals, it looked like there were thousands of troops. What greeted them was a suffocating smell of blood. This was obviously a person killed from the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood.  The god of death comes out!

    Tang Shengzhi was stunned for a moment, then put the surprise in his eyes away, and then said: "Come in!"

    Li Guoyao strode into the headquarters, came to Tang Shengzhi, and said loudly: "Sir, Li Guoyao from the 67th Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army is reporting to you!"

    Hearing the name Li Guoyao, everyone at the scene was shocked again. Although they had already made assumptions in their hearts, they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Li Guoyao say the name himself.

    From mid-November to now, Li Guoyao's name has been resounding throughout the country. Even Japan's mainstream media has reported his killing of King Jiuhiko of Asaka Palace. It can be said that Li Guoyao's name has spread to Japan.

    With the propaganda from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Central News Agency, Li Guoyao transformed from a little-known major staff officer into a nationally famous anti-Japanese hero. What a glorious moment!

    However, no matter how turbulent the outside world was, Li Guoyao and his troops never showed up, and no one had seen Li Guoyao himself. When he appeared in front of everyone, everyone was stunned by his youth.

    Tang Shengzhi looked at Li Guoyao carefully for a while, then patted Li Guoyao on the shoulder and said: "What a young hero. Isn't Brigadier Li still under thirty years old?"

    When Tang Shengzhi was looking at Li Guoyao, Li Guoyao was also observing Tang Shengzhi. Although this was the first time he met Tang Shengzhi and he had only heard of General Tang's name before, this did not prevent Li Guoyao from being able to recognize him at a glance.  identity of.

    There is no other reason, because although the entire command headquarters has bright generals, there is only one general. Obviously the person in front of him is Tang Shengzhi!

    Although Tang Shengzhi was known as a young hero from the beginning, Li Guoyao really didn't like him at all. This guy looked upright, but in fact he was a shameless villain who was good at sneaking into camps. Historically, 300,000 compatriots in Nanjing suffered this disaster  , Tang Shengzhi is really the culprit.

    As the top military officer defending Nanjing, this man clearly knew that there were hundreds of thousands of troops and nearly one million citizens in Nanjing. At that time, Nanjing was surrounded on three sides and the only escape route was the Yangtze River.  However, he ordered all ferries and fishing boats on the Nanjing River to be scuttled and the only two ferries to be transferred away.  Then the Yijiang Gate leading to the river was closed, the escape routes were blocked, and people were prohibited from entering and exiting, leaving a large number of Nanjing citizens stranded in the city and unable to be evacuated!  !

    What is even more shameless is that in order to show his "determination and will" to "swear to live and die with Nanjing", he deployed supervisory teams at Yijiangmen and the north bank of the Yangtze River to intercept the defenders who retreated without authorization and kill them without mercy.

    Less than three days after the war in Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi realized that he could no longer stand it. He hurriedly ordered the staff to issue an ambiguous retreat order to all units, and then jumped on a small fire boat he had reserved for himself to cross the river and escape.  The supervising teams at Yijiangmen and the north bank of the Yangtze River were not notified before.

    So, when the defenders in the city collapsed and rushed to Yijiang Gate to escape, Song Xilian, the 36th Division who was supervising the battle team, did not know that the troops had been ordered to start retreating, and desperately blocked the defeated troops from passing.

    In order to escape, the defeated army used tanks, mortars and machine guns originally intended for street fighting to force a breakthrough. The two sides launched a "fierce battle" at Yijiangmen.

    When the defeated army finally killed the Sandu team and opened a passage to escape, the corpses on the ground were piled up in unknown layers. Xie Chengrui, the commander of the second regiment of the first brigade of the teaching corps who was later promoted to major general, was breaking through the siege at Yijiangmen.  He fell to the ground and was trampled to death by the defeated soldiers.

    What is even more disgusting is that Tang Shengzhi, the artilleryman deployed in Jiangbei to supervise the battle team, did not receive the order to retreat. He saw that the troops were dismantling their armor in Xiaguan and were completely defeated.They all fled to the bank of the Yangtze River.  Thinking that the city's defenders were retreating without authorization, they followed the orders of their superiors and fired thousands of cannons at the defeated army who were trying to cross the river, blasting them wildly.

    The defeated troops fought fiercely for the ferry on the river, and engaged in fierce gun battles and struggles. Many people tried to swim to the other side by holding on to branches, wooden boards and other floating objects. As a result, the river water was so cold that it penetrated the bone marrow and countless people froze to death.  By the time the surviving defeated troops swam to the other side, it was not known how many people had been unjustly killed in the river.

    Due to the lack of ferries, by the early morning of the 13th, two-thirds of the defenders were still unable to cross the river. They were shot dead by the superior firepower of the pursuing Japanese troops on the south bank. Tens of thousands of people were buried in the roaring river, and the river was soaked with blood.  Corpses floating in the river, blocking the river and falling down, it's a terrible tragedy!  !

    No matter how disgusted Li Guoyao was in his heart, he knew that he could not show it on his face at this time, and immediately replied: "Sir, I am 27 years old this year!"

    "Tsk tsk! There are probably only a handful of 27-year-old major generals and brigade commanders in our party and national army!" Tang Shengzhi praised.

    "Sir, this is a ridiculous compliment. I am ashamed of my humble position!" Li Guoyao said immediately.

    At this time, an army lieutenant general said with a smile: "Hahaha, you deserve such praise. As a mere staff major, you led the troops out of the hell in Songjiang and attacked the 47th Regiment.  After that, they made a surprise attack on Jiaxing and killed Moritake Tanabe, the chief of staff of the Japanese Tenth Army. Later, they returned to support the Huzhou battlefield and defeated the 55th Regiment of the Little Japanese Army. They destroyed an artillery brigade in one fell swoop and blew up the 18th Division.  The regimental arsenal.¡±

    "Not only did he defeat Jiaxing twice, he also led his troops to fight in Shanghai, killing Akira Muto, the chief of staff of the Japanese Shanghai Expeditionary Force, and captured the Japanese combat orders and plans for attacking Nanjing City. The ambush at Baishan Mountain shocked the Chinese people, and killed the Japanese prince and lieutenant general commander.  You deserve any praise!¡±

    Li Guoyao saw that the other party held the rank of Army Lieutenant General and spoke so casually on such an occasion. It was obvious that his status was unusual. He immediately asked: "Hello, sir, did you know who you are?"

    "Luo Zhuoying, deputy commander-in-chief of Nanjing Garrison Headquarters!" the middle-aged general said with a smile.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
