    Chapter 126: The bayonet is red when the enemy approaches the city (new book, please watch)

    Looking at Li Guoyao who turned to leave, Tang Shengzhi and others were silent. Although what Li Guoyao just said was not very clear, but with the experience of Tang Shengzhi, Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing and others, how could the city government not understand that this Northeastern Army member  The warriors were not optimistic about the Battle of Nanjing, or they did not think they could hold the city of Nanjing.

    If others say this, Tang Shengzhi will definitely fall out. Not to mention a small major general and brigade commander, even a lieutenant general, division commander, and army commander will not escape a scolding!

    But it was Li Guoyao who said this. Even though he was young and had no foundation in the army, and even his background was not good, the commission did not have a good impression of the Northeastern Army and wished to dismember the Northeastern Army directly.

    But Li Guoyao was different. He was an anti-Japanese hero appointed by the commission. Whether he led hundreds of defeated soldiers to break out of Songjiang City besieged by the Japanese Sixth Division alone, or led his men to conquer Jiaxing City twice, and then there was  The killing of the Chief of Staff of the Tenth Army, Moritake Tanabe, and the Commander of the Japanese Expeditionary Force in Shanghai, Asaka Palace Hatohiko, has made this young man a hero of great concern to the people across the country.

    Such anti-Japanese heroes are still very important. Otherwise, the Ministry of Military Affairs would not have been able to directly promote Li Guoyao from a small army major to major general. The army was just a temporarily entangled rear detachment and was directly expanded into an independent brigade.  It can be seen that the above still attaches great importance to Li Guoyao.

    More importantly, from the beginning of the Songjiang breakout, Li Guoyao showed extremely superb tactical command and strategic vision. In particular, he dared to go deep into Shanghai City with only a reinforced platoon, and also visited the Japanese troops dispatched to Shanghai at night.  Military Headquarters, and finally escaped unscathed after killing the Japanese prince in Baiji Mountain. This is not something ordinary people can do.

    "For such a capable, visionary and courageous officer to say something, even if he just said it casually, others would take it as true.

    What's more, what Li Guoyao said just now was so formal and serious that no one thought he was joking. Therefore, instead of reprimanding Li Guoyao, Tang Shengzhi seriously considered what Li Guoyao said before.

    In fact, there is no need to think too much. Tang Shengzhi himself knows very well that this battle to defend Nanjing is a scam. After all, in terms of military strength and firepower, the defenders of Nanjing City are incomparable to the Japs, and there is no possibility that they can defend Nanjing.  Almost zero.

    The main reason why we insist on defending the city is to save face, and to prevent the people of the country from thinking that the government has abandoned the city and fled, nothing more!

    And the situation reported from outside the city is getting worse and worse in the past few days, and the entire situation has deteriorated faster than Tang Shengzhi and others expected.

    Yesterday, the Japanese 6th Division, which was originally in the Huzhou area, also rushed to the area west of Moling Town with a forced march, deployed on the left flank of the 114th Division, and participated in the attack on the outer positions of Nanjing.

    After two days and one night of fierce fighting on the frontline positions outside Nanjing, most of the fortifications in the main defense areas had been destroyed by Japanese artillery and aviation firepower. The defenders suffered heavy casualties, such as the representatives of the 301st Regiment of the 51st Division defending Chunhua Town.  The regiment leader Ji Hongru was seriously injured, the company commander suffered 9 casualties, and more than 1,400 people below the platoon were injured. They had completely lost their combat effectiveness.

    That afternoon, the Japanese army, guided by tanks, successively captured important strongholds such as Tangshan Town and Chunhua Town.

    At the same time, the Numata Detachment of the 26th Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army has repulsed the 111th Division of the 57th Army and occupied Jingjiang. The Tiangu Detachment has entered Zhenjiang, and the Kunozaki Detachment of the Japanese Left Wing has entered near Dangtu.  The 18th Division is advancing towards Wuhu after capturing Xuancheng.

    In view of the above situation, in order to concentrate their forces to defend Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi and others ordered the first-line defenders to retreat to the Fukuo position; on the other hand, they ordered Zhenjiang's 103rd Division, 112th Division and the nearby 82nd Army to quickly withdraw to  Nanjing.

    Yesterday afternoon, the 48th Division of the 2nd Army arrived in Nanjing, the 156th Division of the 83rd Army also withdrew to Nanjing, and its 154th Division is still retreating.

    Subsequently, the headquarters of the Nanjing Garrison Commander issued the "Weishen Zuozi No. 28" order to deploy the defense of the Fukuo position and ordered the right detachment to stick to the line of Da (Dai) Mountain in Banqiao Town; the 74th Army to stick to Niushou Mountain  The line from the strongholds to Heding Bridge; the 88th Division held on to Yuhuatai; the 87th Division of the 71st Army held on to the line from Heding Bridge to Laorili (north of the Jiangnan (Ningwu) Railway), with the 88th Division and the 51st Division on the right, and the 87th Division on the left  Contact the teaching corps; the teaching corps will stick to Zijin Mountain; the 2nd Army will stick to the line between Yangfang Mountain and Wulong Mountain and the Wulong Mountain Fortress; the 36th Division will stick to the Hongshan and Mufu Mountain areas; the 66th Army will gather near Dashui Pass and be on standby.  ; The 156th and 1st Regiments of the 36th Division of the 83rd Army (the 2nd Reserve Regiment) covered the retreat at the Qinglong Mountain and Longwang Mountain lines.

    At the same time, the military police were also ordered to teach the 2nd Regiment to defend the city wall from Shuixi Gate to Hanzhong Gate.The 2nd Gendarmerie Regiment was ordered to defend the Qingliang Mountain in the city and the 10th Gendarmerie Regiment was to defend the Ming Forbidden City Airport in the city.

    After the Japanese army broke through the first-line positions outside Nanjing, in view of the hasty retreat of the defenders and the lack of effective cover measures, the Japanese army immediately followed and pursued them. As a result, some compound positions were not yet firmly occupied, which was the Japanese breakthrough.

    At dawn on the 9th, the 16th Division of the Japanese "Shanghai Expeditionary Army" entered the Kirin Gate and Cangbo Gate areas; the 9th Division entered outside Guanghua Gate and occupied the Grand Campus and Tongguang Barracks; the 114th Division of the 10th Army  The division advanced to the south of Yuhuatai; the 6th Division advanced to the west of Yuhuatai, and part of its left wing occupied Dasheng Pass.  The 60th Army of the Chinese Army retreated to the Dashui Pass and Yanziji areas for reorganization; the 74th Army retreated to inside and outside Shuixi Gate and was assigned to guard the city walls.

    This is already preparation for the Japanese siege at the left rear. In other words, it will soon be time for the bayonets to see red.

    Because of this, Tang Shengzhi and other talents had to pay attention to Li Guoyao's meaning. After all, Li Guoyao's words for the hundreds of thousands of brothers who fought bloody battles in Nanjing were still very weighty.

    What's more, in the eyes of Tang Shengzhi and others, Li Guoyao's troops are just a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon!

    Li Guoyao's troops had more than 10,000 troops, but their fighting spirit was low, and their weapons and equipment were even worse. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a temporary refugee team, because they never expected that Li Guoyao would obtain such things in a short time.  A large number of weapons and equipment.

    In this case, it is better to do as Li Guoyao said and send some troops out of the city to build fortifications. Maybe they will come in handy then!

    By the way, Li Guoyao's side was also progressing smoothly. With the order from the garrison headquarters, the 36th Division would naturally not stop them. Then under Li Guoyao's personal order, the three regiments led by Lu Fengying, Lu Wenlong, and Xue Dengyu quickly left the city.

    Several other regiments also acted quickly according to Li Guoyao's order. The entire independent brigade, a huge war machine, quickly started operating to prepare for the next earth-shattering battle.

    Although the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters and Li Guoyao's headquarters are preparing for the upcoming war, some things will not change because of their efforts. As the sun rises on the 9th, the situation in Nanjing City instantly becomes tense.  .

    After dawn, the sound of gunfire outside the city suddenly became more intense.

    It is different from the past. In the past, although the sound of gunfire and gunfire continued, the city was relatively calm, but this morning it changed. Because after the Japanese army started attacking, shells continued to fall into the city.

    As the fighting became more and more intense, more and more artillery shells fell into the city, first on the outskirts of the city, then on to the main urban area, and the Japanese artillery fire extended towards the city.

    Because shells frequently fell into the city, including some terrible incendiary bombs, fires broke out in the city from time to time.

    Because the fire spread and seriously affected the normal arrangements of residents and troops in the city, fire extinguishing became the top priority.

    As the force maintaining order in Nanjing City, Li Guoyao's unit naturally became the main force in putting out fires. For a time, the Independent Brigade turned into the city's fire brigade, and they were present wherever there was trouble.

    Fortunately, at dawn, several thousand defeated soldiers were sent to the police station. Since there were not so many weapons and equipment to arm them, Li Guoyao found thousands of old police uniforms in stock from the Nanjing Police Station and put them into them.  Responsible for extinguishing fires in urban areas.  Otherwise, Li Guoyao's troops are really not enough.
