    Chapter 128: The most difficult day (new book, please watch)

    In the underground headquarters, Li Guoyao listened carefully to Ma Desheng's report on the situation of each regiment.

    After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Is there any news from Lu Fengying and Deputy Brigadier Xu?"

    "Hospitality, Captain Lu called half an hour ago and has collected 67 small and medium-sized fishing boats and 28 large cargo ships. They are rushing to Xiaguan Pier. It is expected that starting from tomorrow, an additional 30,000 people will be able to arrive every day.  Volume! But there is still no news from Lao Xu!" Ma Desheng replied.

    "That means the Shimonoseki Pier can transport at least 50,000 people across the river tomorrow, right?"

    "Theoretically, this is the case, but the actual situation is not necessarily true. No one knows whether the Japanese navy fleet and aviation force will come to cause trouble!" Ma Desheng said.

    "How many people in the city have not left the city?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "There are at least 150,000 people, or even more!" Ma Desheng said.

    "so much?"

    "Well, there are more than 10,000 students and teachers from Nanjing University and other schools alone. In addition, many people in the city who had not planned to leave Nanjing were frightened by the fighting and asked to leave the city. We escorted them out today.  Those people may not be as good as the new number of people leaving the city!"

    "The situation is not good if it continues like this. I'm afraid that after the Japs break through the city gate, we may not be able to send half of the people to the other side of the Yangtze River!" Li Guoyao said with a worried look.

    "Prince, can the little devil really massacre the city?" Ma Desheng asked in a deep voice.

    "The possibility is more than 80%, but even if there is only a 10% possibility, we don't dare to take the risk. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. Once they are massacred by the little devils in the capital of China, this will be the fate of the entire nation forever.  The pain cannot be erased!" Li Guoyao replied.

    "How many days do you think Nanjing City can last?"

    ¡°No more than three days at most!¡±

    "So short?"

    "Then how long do you think you can last?" Li Guoyao asked.

    "We have at least 100,000 troops in Nanjing, plus the more than 30,000 defeated troops we have gathered now, we should be no weaker than the little devils in terms of military strength. Why can we only hold on for three days? We have to fight half of them anyway.  Months!"

    "You are overthinking. Although there are many troops in the city, they are all remnants that were withdrawn from the Shanghai battlefield. Whether it is the Central Army or the local troops, they are the remaining troops that have been broken up. The ones that are added are all unexperienced.  No matter how many trained recruits, the combat effectiveness is probably less than half of the original. And among the more than 30,000 defeated troops we gathered, except for the first 9 regiments to be armed, the remaining 5 regiments all have no weapons and equipment. You  Do you think it¡¯s possible for these people to fight with the little devils?¡±

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Now the Japanese army has reached the edge of the city wall. At most, part of the Japanese army will enter the city tomorrow, and then there will be fierce street fighting. However, our Chinese army lacks experience in street fighting, so we can persist in the city for two days at most.  Time will collapse!"

    "Then if the defenders really collapse, what will we do, and what will happen to the people outside the city?" Ma Desheng asked again.

    "Cool! At this point, we have no way out. With the strength of more than a dozen regiments of our independent brigade, and the tens of thousands of military police and broken troops, even if the entire army is wiped out, we still have to stop the little devils and ensure the safety of the people.  Jiang!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Brigade, have you ever thought about it. Once the city is broken, all the Japanese army's major regiments will press on us. With our little strength and fighting spirit, how long do you think we can hold on?"

    "You have to persist even if you can't hold on. Even if you fight to the last man, you have to ensure that the people can cross the river safely!"

    "Then I'm afraid that our independent brigade's little strength will be completely wiped out in this battle, and it is even possible that the entire army will be annihilated!"

    "So what, Lao Ma, do you know what the mission of a soldier is?"

    Without waiting for Ma Desheng's answer, Li Guoyao said: "Soldiers are born for war and die for peace. Soldiers are people who "save the people from fire and water, and save the country from hanging upside down." Soldiers are people who "fight with the golden drum at dawn, and follow the golden drum at night.  A soldier is a person who "sleeps in a jade saddle" and a soldier is a person who "dies on the battlefield and is wrapped in horse leather." Choosing the profession of a soldier means choosing the profession closest to sacrifice.  "The mission of the army determines that it must be willing to pay blood and lives."

    ¡°In the minds of soldiers, the mission is far greater than their own lives. Only with a solemn sense of mission can one become a truly mature soldier, stand upright for China, and support the country.??A clear sky.  "

    "Young Master, I understand! I can't guarantee anything else. As long as I, Ma Desheng, are here, if the little devil wants to carry out an inhumane massacre in Nanjing City, he must step over my body!"

    "This battle is not just for you, all our soldiers must be prepared to sacrifice, including myself! Wait a moment and you call the leaders of each regiment and ask them to immediately start counting the personnel lists and home addresses of each regiment. If  If possible, let every soldier write a suicide note. Brothers can die, but they cannot die in obscurity. If there are still people in our independent brigade who can come out alive, we must erect monuments for all brothers!" Li Guoyao said.

    "Will this dampen the morale of the brothers?"

    "Brothers have the right to know the truth. The war has already reached this point. The worst result is death and death. Don't be afraid!" Li Guoyao said calmly.

    "yes!"

    "In addition, on the pretext of putting out the fire and gathering the people, the newly formed 11th Regiment was dispatched near Anjiang Street, the 12th Regiment was dispatched near Tiancheng Foreign Company, and the 13th Regiment was dispatched near Wuhe Warehouse on standby!"

    Ma Desheng looked at Li Guoyao in surprise, but then said: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away!"

    "Let the regiments responsible for building defensive positions in the city be prepared. Once the frontline troops collapse, they will be responsible for blocking the Japanese army and buying time for the troops behind!"

    "yes!"

    "Send another telegram to the troops outside the city and ask Lu Fengying's troops to rush to Xiaguan Pier after collecting the ships and build fortifications outside Xiaguan Pier. That will be our last position. Ask them to be more careful!  "

    "yes!"

    After giving the order, Li Guoyao fell into silence.

    Judging from the current situation, even though he suddenly killed the bastard King Asaka Palace Kohihiko before the war, the direction of the Battle of Nanjing did not change much. The Japanese army still came to the city as it did in history, and it was still from December  The city was broken on the 9th.

    If nothing goes as expected, the battle will be even more intense tomorrow. The defense line that the defenders finally stabilized today will be defeated by the Japanese army. Multiple Japanese troops invaded Nanjing City. Fierce street fighting began, and then the city of Nanjing was broken.

    Looking at the hands of his pocket watch, it was past 12 o'clock. Li Guoyao knew that the most difficult day had arrived!

    Although it was already the early morning of the 10th, the fighting outside the city still did not stop. In order to capture Nanjing City as soon as possible, the Japs decided to attack throughout the night.

    And the Japanese troops of several divisions on the front line fought hard for the honor of being the first to invade the Chinese capital, so the front-line fighting was unprecedentedly fierce.

    While the Japanese army was attacking frantically, the Independence Brigade was not idle either. Under the escort of a large number of troops, the common people, students, refugees and some injured people with limited mobility in Nanjing were escorted outside the city and then sent to Xiamen, more than ten kilometers away.  Off the pier.

    At Xiaguan Wharf, more than two hundred fishing boats and merchant ships were constantly plying back and forth between the two sides of the Yangtze River, transporting boatloads of ordinary people to the other side, and then transferred to nearby Pukou and Hexian County upstream.

    The Nationalist Government was also worried that the Japs would really carry out a massacre in Nanjing City, so the Military Commission ordered the troops stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River to assist the people crossing the river, which saved the Independence Brigade a lot of trouble.

    In short, both sides are racing for time. The Japanese army is anxious to capture Nanjing as soon as possible, forcing the Chinese government to surrender, and to avoid the intervention of other countries.  The Chinese are fighting back desperately, knowing that even if the entire army is annihilated, the hope of holding Nanjing City is still slim, but everyone is still persevering.

    Time passes minute by minute, but in everyone¡¯s eyes it seems so slow, as if it¡¯s frozen!
