Chapter 125: Tang Shengzhi looses his mouth (new book, please watch)
Six o'clock in the morning. Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.
Although it was pitch dark, the entire garrison headquarters was still brightly lit. It wasn't because these people got up early, but because they didn't rest all night.
In the garrison headquarters, a group of generals, including Commander-in-Chief Tang Shengzhi and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoying, worked all night long to direct operations. It was not that they did not want to rest, but that they really did not dare to sleep!
The situation outside is already very critical. The main Japanese troops have all arrived outside Nanjing. There is no guarantee when the Japs will break through the city defenses. If you go to sleep at this time, maybe when you wake up, the Japs will have already arrived outside the headquarters. .
Since they didn¡¯t sleep all night, everyone¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and they looked quite tired, so that the atmosphere in the entire garrison headquarters seemed extremely gloomy and lifeless.
At this time, a combat staff officer suddenly shouted at the door: "Report, Brigadier Li of the 67th Army Independent Brigade wants to see you!"
The sudden sound startled Tang Shengzhi and others, but then they asked: "Who did you just say asked to see him?"
"Sir, this is Brigadier Li of the 67th Army's Independent Brigade!" the combat staff officer replied.
Tang Shengzhi did not answer, but turned to look at Luo Zhuoying and said, "What is this kid doing here so late?"
In Tang Shengzhi¡¯s consciousness, the time now is not too early, but too late. It¡¯s just the inertia of thinking!
"The 36th Division in Jiangmen just called and said that people from the Independence Brigade were stopping when they were leaving the city. Maybe it has something to do with this!" Luo Zhuoying said.
"Go out of the city? Didn't you tell him that the troops can't leave the city? Who told them to go out of the city?" Tang Shengzhi said angrily.
"I don't know, maybe something happened when they left the city!" Luo Zhuoying said.
"What can happen to them? Once other troops in the city misunderstand that we are about to retreat, it will cause a chain reaction and we will be in trouble!"
"Since Li Guoyao is here, let's call him in and ask before we talk!" Luo Zhuoying said.
"Um!"
After speaking, Tang Shengzhi said to the combat staff at the door: "Call him in!"
"yes!"
A few minutes later, Li Guoyao, still wearing a tattered military uniform, strode in from outside. Then he saluted Tang Shengzhi and others and said, "Report, Li Guoyao of the Independent Brigade says hello to all the officers!"
Tang Shengzhi nodded and said, "Surely, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"
"Report, I have something very important to report to Chief Tang and Chief Luo!"
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tang Shengzhi said lightly.
"Sir, the tasks you previously assigned to our independent brigade are being implemented overtime. From the afternoon to now, more than 30,000 refugees have been escorted out of the city, and there are dozens of fishing boats at the Xiaguan Pier. These refugees were escorted to the other side of the river to ensure their safety"
Before Li Guoyao finished speaking, Tang Shengzhi frowned and said, "It will be sent to the outside of the city soon, why do we have to send it to the other side of the river?"
"Sir, the Japs have now surrounded the city of Nanjing on three sides. If they just escort the people outside the city, they may not be able to guarantee their safety. With their humble understanding of the Japanese army, once they discover that there are a large number of refugees outside the city, , will never let them go. And Nanjing is the resting place of the founding father. Once the Japanese army carries out a massacre here, the founding father Izumoshita Youchi will alsoalso"
Li Guoyao knew that although Tang Shengzhi was a bastard, he was still very loyal to Sun Dapao. A large part of the reason why he took the initiative to ask Ying to guard Nanjing was because Sun Dapao was buried in Nanjing. When Li Guoyao brought this up, he was not afraid that Tang Shengzhi would not agree.
"Stop talking, what you said makes sense. If you have the ability, you can escort him to the other side of the river!" Tang Shengzhi said.
"Sir, according to our statistics, there are at least nearly 200,000 people in Nanjing who need to be escorted out of the city. Firstly, it can avoid unnecessary casualties caused by the war. Secondly, it can relieve the defenders of their worries and allow them to fight with confidence. . In the end, it will also prevent those Japanese spies who are trying to cause sabotage from taking advantage of it, so our department will do its best to escort the people out of the city in the next few days, and I ask for your permission, sir!"
"It's okay if it's just ordinary people who leave the city, but the army can't leave the city under any circumstances!" Tang Shengzhi said.
"No, sir, due to the limited number of ships and the Japanese military'sThe ship has already arrived outside Nanjing, so we rush to transport up to 20,000 people across the river every day. Once the city is broken, Xiaguan Wharf will inevitably become the first place of massacre by the Japanese army. In order to ensure the safety of the people, our department needs to send some people out of the city to collect ships and build defensive positions at the same time, just in case! "
At this point, Li Guoyao's tone suddenly became serious, and he said almost word for word: "Sir, this humiliation is not only for the hundreds of thousands of refugees, but also for the hundreds of thousands of brothers who fought bloody battles in Nanjing. Please sir, please allow our troops to leave the city!"
Seeing the seriousness of Li Guoyao's words, Tang Shengzhi fell silent, and then asked: "How many people are you planning to send out of the city?"
"Three regiments, eight thousand people!"
"What, your department only has 4,000 people, how can you get 8,000 people?" Tang Shengzhi asked in surprise.
"Sir, since yesterday afternoon, our department has been escorting the people out of the city while continuously gathering the broken troops. All the broken troops have been temporarily reorganized by our department. Now our department has a total of 6 regiments of troops. I plan to leave the city. Put half of it and put half of it in the city!" Li Guoyao said.
Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Tang Shengzhi and others were stunned.
They didn't think about regrouping the scattered troops in the city, and they also deliberately set up recruitment points and gathering points at various important intersections in the city. As a result, the results were minimal, and the vast majority of the defeated troops were unwilling to do so. Carrying a gun and eating food again.
Some of the defeated soldiers became beggars in the city, and some even changed into refugee clothes and became refugees. Although the Nanjing Garrison Command knew the situation, it was powerless to do anything.
"Seriously, since you have so many troops now, can you divide some of them to participate in city defense operations?" Tang Shengzhi said.
Li Guoyao immediately said: "Sir, there is no problem in participating in the city defense operations, but our troops are all broken troops reorganized on the spot, and many brothers are unarmed, so I am planning to send them to build fortifications outside the city. If the sir can give Brothers, each of you has a good guy, and he will never say a word more when he takes part in the city defense battle!"
Hearing this, Tang Shengzhi sighed immediately and forgot about it. Although Li Guoyao's unit now has five or six regiments of troops, they are mostly defeated. Not to mention the fighting spirit of those people, the weapons and equipment alone are a headache.
Are there any weapons and equipment in Nanjing? There must be, but there are not many. Even if there were so many, it was impossible for Tang Shengzhi to hand over 10,000 guns to Li Guoyao, an officer from the Northeast Army.
He knew that the 67th Army was a direct unit of Marshal Zhang. The late Army Commander Wu Keren had publicly defended Marshal Zhang many times and was quite jealous of Chiang Kai-shek. If he handed over such a batch of weapons and equipment to Li Guoyao, nothing would happen. It's okay for me, but if something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to settle the score after Qiu.
In view of this, it is naturally impossible for Tang Shengzhi to agree to Li Guoyao's conditions. But it is not good to leave more than 10,000 people in the city, and what Li Guoyao said makes sense. He did neglect the defense in the north of the city before. It is okay to send people out to build a few lines of defense. If you are not afraid of 10,000, Afraid of what might happen.
After thinking again and again, Tang Shengzhi finally relented and said, "What you are worried about is justified. Let's do this. Your troops can send some troops out of the city, but only your troops. Other troops are strictly prohibited from leaving the city. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Besides, if you don't continue to collect the defeated troops, and organize two regiments of troops for the garrison headquarters in the next two days, is there any problem?" Tang Shengzhi asked again.
"No problem, but my humble position is only responsible for recruiting people, not weapons and equipment!"
"OK!"
"Well, go back and prepare. I will let someone notify the 36th Division later!"
"yes"
However, just as Li Guoyao was about to turn around and leave, Luo Zhuoying on the side suddenly said: "Seriously, if you have time after dawn, go to Jinling University and find Mr. John Rabe. He is the chairman of the Nanjing Safety Zone. Maybe he will Your mission helps!¡±
"yes!"
