Chapter 465: Evacuation

"Who else has seen this document besides you?"

Zheng Yong threw the documents that Du Peng brought aside with expressionless expression.

Du Peng's expression was a little nervous: "I have all seen it and I have secretly executed it. Now I am the only one who knows the contents of this document."

"Don't be nervous, I still trust you, but I hope you can keep your mouth shut. I don't want to lose a subordinate like you before the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan."

Zheng Yong's words made Du Peng feel a little relieved, but then he saw Zheng Yong's stern eyes and became a little nervous again.

"You go back now and burn Maliu Mountain with a fire, so you can't leave anything that others can use." Zheng Yong's face looked a little ferocious for some reason.

"Also, I secretly sent someone to investigate and see who Zhou Jiahui had contacted before. I think you should know what to do if he had contacted him..."

Du Peng's body trembled slightly, and then nodded.

Seeing his subordinates leaving here nervously, Zheng Yong picked up the documents again and carefully turned them over page by page. He picked up the match at his hand and lit one, but when he got it onto the documents, his hand suddenly stopped.

He blew out the matches, sighed, and walked to the safe and carefully hid the papers.

Maybe it will be useful, maybe it will be useful, and at some point it may become your life-saving talisman...

Now I finally understand why those bandits were so bold that they dared to rob military supplies, and that they were military supplies in the third war zone on the front line of the War of Resistance...

It feels a bit ironic that I am fighting bloody battles with the Japanese pirates on the front line, but why are so many people who do politics like to do some small moves behind their backs?

"Commander-in-chief, Nanjing telegram."

I took the telegram and looked at it a few times. It was sent by Jiang Baili, the commander of Nanjing garrison.

"On that day, the island army launched continuous attacks, all of which were repelled by our defenders. The island army's planes and artillery bombarded day and night. All the city walls in Nanjing were built hundreds of years ago, which was extremely unfavorable to the current war defense. Although our army had been renovated before, many city walls were damaged under the bombing of the island army, and our army also suffered heavy casualties.

Given the current situation, I decided to continue to resist for several days before turning to street fighting. The Island Army has shown fatigue since yesterday and its attacks are no longer as fierce as before. This shows that while our army consumes a lot, the Island Army is also constantly consumed. The strategic goals previously formulated have been initially achieved.

When asked about Jiang Baili's health the day before yesterday, the commander-in-chief could rest assured that although he was weak, he could still continue to command the battle. Every time the Japanese pirates went forward, Jiang Baili was sure to pay the corresponding price, so that he could know the heroic spirit of our Chinese military and civilians..."

Zheng Yong put down the telegram and his face was a little solemn.

Although Jiang Baili did not mention any specific difficulties in the telegram, Zheng Yong believed that Nanjing must have reached the most difficult and critical moment now, otherwise Jiang Baili would not have shot such a telegram at this time.

When the city was built, it was built according to specific conditions at that time. When building a city in the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of solidity, the wall tilted slightly inward, with a trapezoidal slope rather than a vertical ground. Unexpectedly, in the battle between the Japanese pirates invading Nanjing, this inclination was easier for the island army to set up a ladder to attack the city.

Zheng Yong thought for a while, took a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote on it.

"Mr. Fang Zhen, the telegram has been received, and I am very pleased with the spirit of fighting bravely in Nanjing.

Mr. Strategy, and guarding Nanjing must have his own experience, Zheng Yong never needs to explain it in detail. Nanjing is just a stage to delay the attack of the island army and show the people and the world my determination to fight against the war. I have already said the last time that I can retreat when necessary.

I thought that when setting up a retreat point in advance and sending capable troops to defend, so that Nanjing can proceed in an orderly manner once it retreats.

All casualties in each unit need to be carefully counted. If the situation allows, you can go to the fallen soldiers in detail, so that the reputation of the martyrs' heroes can be circulated for a long time after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

I have ordered the mobilization of two divisions of troops to monitor the Nanjing defense line, and once the retreat begins, I can respond with all my strength.

I know that although Mr. Husband said he was healthy, he was still insisting on commanding the battle even if he had already fallen down. Mr. Husband must remember to take care of himself. I have a drink with him, so I must not break the appointment..."

When he asked someone to take out the written telegram, he stood up and looked outside with a blurred look.

Nanjing, Nanjing, how are the capital and Mr. Fang Zhen now?

The arduous defense battle was a city wall that was bombarded by the cannons of the island army, and a weak patient, a group of soldiers lacking advanced weapons, using their steel will to defend their capital.

Today's war can only set a general strategic goal and then complete it step by step.

In the process of completion, with the current strength of the Chinese army, it is difficult to find any better way except to fill in the life.

Even a general as outstanding as Jiang Baili can only choose this method.

However, while Chinese soldiers were constantly dying, the Japanese pirates were also moving step by step towards the dead end that China had designed for them, until the day they were completely buried...

The sound of cannons drowned out everything.

Jiang Baili put down the telegram in his hand, and a smile appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth.

There is no big regret to be able to get a friend like the commander-in-chief. In ancient times, there was a saying that "a scholar died for his confidant." Now, in addition to serving the country, he is also contributing all his talents to a friend and a confidant.

"How is the battle going?" Jiang Baili asked with all his might to straighten his back.

"Today, the island army transferred its main attack force from Zhonghua Gate to Guanghua Gate, bombarded continuously with heavy artillery, and assisted with several tanks, and cooperated with infantry to attack Guanghua Gate continuously." Xiao Shanling pointed to the map, and his fingers kept sliding in several places.

"The one who defends this place is my 156th Division. The division commander is injured. Now the chief of staff Yao Zhongying is taking over. While defending, the entire division organized several recoils in succession, and always suppressed the Japanese pirates firmly outside Guanghua Gate..."

As he was talking, Luo Zhuoying, deputy commander-in-chief of Nanjing Garrison Command, walked in slowly. His face was extremely solemn. Jiang Baili and Xiao Shanling seemed to feel that something bad was about to happen.

"On January 21, 28th year of the Republic of China, the 156th Division of the National Revolutionary Army was ordered to defend Guanghua Gate and repel Japanese pirates more than ten attacks. Later, some Japanese pirates rushed into Guanghua Gate. Yao Zhongying, chief of staff of the 156th Division, personally led the suicide squad to counterattack, and wiped out more than a hundred Japanese pirates entering Guanghua Gate, but Chief of Staff Yao Zhongying died heroically!"

Jiang Baili sighed softly, and the body that was originally standing there slowly sat down again.

"Has another one left? I remember he is from Guangdong, graduated from Huangpu's second-year class, a second-year class student, and he is old-fashioned. He is the first-line troops except Lan Yundong..."

Since the war started, a large number of Whampoa officers have fought bloody battles with Japanese pirates in Nanjing, and many of them have been buried here forever.

Liu Guoyong, Zhu Chi, Yao Zhongying...

"The Chief of Staff of the 156th Division was transferred to the 156th Division and continue to organize the Guanghuamen defense." After calming down, Jiang Baili said slowly: "The Chief of Staff of the 10th Division was transferred to Li Lanchi, and the 10th Division was the chief of Staff of the 10th Division was transferred to the general reserve team."

Jiang Baili, who walked to the map, seemed to have forgotten all the things just now: "How was the battle going after entering the city?"

"Everything is ready." Xiao Shanling quickly replied: "We have begun to shrink our troops, and each unit has entered the designated location one after another. We are confident that we will continue to kill and injure the Japanese pirates in the city!"

Jiang Baili coughed a few times: "Organize manpower to arrange for serious injuries to evacuate. According to the command of the General Command, no woman or child is allowed to be left in the city. The nurses and doctors in the hospital must also be evacuated for compulsory purposes. A regiment's troops are transferred to be responsible for this matter..."

Xiao Shanling responded one by one and continued, "Commander, your wife..."

"She won't be willing to leave." Jiang Baili smiled slightly: "Don't worry about our affairs, just do the task I assigned you first..."

On January 21, 28, the Republic of China, the Nanjing defense forces began to organize street fighting preparations, and the evacuation work in Nanjing began on this day.

Xie Chengrui, who was injured on several sides of his body, was responsible for the command of organizing the evacuation and will also evacuate accordingly.

He was not willing to leave Nanjing, which had been fighting for a long time, but the order from Shangfeng had to make him accept such an arrangement.

He graduated from the Army major of the Sino-French University of Lyon, France. After retreating to Nanjing, the troops under his command repelled the army of the Breaking City Island twice and annihilated the remaining enemies. However, he also injured fire during the war, making the already injured body even weaker.

The wounded were carried onto the boat one by one, and the nurses and doctors who were responsible for taking care of the wounded and evacuated with them seemed very calm.

Xie Chengrui's voice kept ringing among the evacuated crowd.

If you pay a little attention, you can see Xie Chengrui's legs trembling slightly.

My body was really unable to hold on anymore, the wound was so painful, and my mind was dizzy, but I had to hold on anyway.

Seven batches have been evacuated. After these batches have been evacuated, my mission will be completed.

"Go up, go up, be careful not to pull down!"

Xie Chengrui shouted loudly. At this time, he saw a wounded man walking with a crutch. Xie Chengrui moved to help, but his eyes suddenly turned black. He waved his hand in front of him a few times, as if he wanted to catch something...

"Captain Xie fell into the water, Captain Xie fell into the water!"

There were continuous sounds, and several soldiers jumped into the water one after another.

Commander Xie was rescued, but he had stopped breathing forever. Sobbing sounded around him. The young commander, who had recovered his life from the battlefield for a lifetime, fell on the way to retreat.
