    Directly opposite the Xiaguan Pier is the Pukou Pier in Jiangbei. Guarding Pukou is Hu Zongnan's 1st Army!

    At this time, the troops of the 1st Army were gradually withdrawing, because the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment had crossed the Yangtze River from Dangtu and was rushing towards Pukou day and night.

    This old devil, Noboru Kunisaki, has gone crazy!

    The Japanese army generally does not fight or march at night, but Noboru Kunisaki, an old devil, fueled by the obsession of "opening up territory for the empire", drove the troops at all costs, marched continuously at high intensity, and rushed straight to Pukou. The old devil  We must close the north gate of Nanjing as soon as possible!

    At the same time, another Japanese army also crossed Yizheng from Yangzhou and approached Pukou westward.

    At this time, the 1st Army was already exhausted, and Hu Zongnan could only order a withdrawal.

    Hu Zongnan asked the combat staff of the headquarters to put away the map in the war room, and was about to turn around and leave when Adjutant Tang Xiyuan suddenly walked in quickly.

    Tang Xiyuan's face looked very pale.

    Hu Zongnan asked with concern: "Xiyuan, are you feeling unwell?"

    Tang Xiyuan shook his head and said, "Military seat, go to the observation post by the river and take a look."

    "Riverside observation post?" Hu Zongnan glanced at Tang Xiyuan suspiciously. Hu Zongnan knew his adjutant very well. Although he was young, he was mature and prudent, and he never did things without aim.

    At that moment, Hu Zongnan came to the riverside in Tang Xiyuan and surrounded by several guards.

    The 1st Army built a river defense position on the riverside, with an observation post on one side of the river defense position.

    Because the evacuation of the headquarters was at the end, the artillery mirror on the observation post had not had time to be evacuated.

    Hu Zongnan walked straight to the back of the artillery mirror. After just one glance, he immediately froze in place.

    ¡­¡­

    Luojia Mountain in Wuhan, Tingsonglu.

    A few days ago, Chairman Chiang and Mrs. Chiang had arrived in Wuhan and settled down in Tingsonglu.

    After issuing the written order to Tang Shengzhi, Chairman Chiang entered a state of anxiety and began to pace back and forth in Tingsonglu's study over and over again.

    Zheng Jiemin, He Zhonghan, Chen Builei and other cronies stared at each other, not daring to take a breath.

    Why is Chairman Chiang anxious?  First, the fall of Nanjing was imminent, and he was worried that this would harm his personal prestige. The second was that he was worried about his dozen or so elite divisions!

    It¡¯s past seven o¡¯clock, and it¡¯s dinner time.

    Zheng Jiemin winked at Chen Brai, indicating that it was time to persuade the Chairman to eat.

    Chen Builei gave a helpless look. At this time, even Mrs. Jiang couldn't persuade her!

    At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the study, and then, the figure of Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office, appeared outside the study door.

    Chairman Chiang, who was pacing, suddenly stopped and turned around.

    But Chairman Chiang did not ask questions immediately because he was a little afraid of hearing some bad news!

    And Qian Dajun did not disappoint Chairman Jiang. He said with a dark face: "Commissioner, Hu Zongnan is calling urgently!"

    "Hu Zongnan?" Chairman Jiang frowned and asked, "What did Hu Zongnan say?"

    "It's all in chaos, it's all turned into a mess!" Qian Dajun sighed and added, "Hu Zongnan reported that he saw from the riverside observation post in the north of the Yangtze River that the Xiaguan Pier on the other side was crowded with people who wanted to cross the river.  The number of troops who cannot find ships is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of thousands, or even more!"

    "A hundred thousand?!" Chairman Chiang's face immediately darkened when he heard this.

    The total number of troops left behind in Nanjing is only 150,000. Subtracting those who died in battle, there are at most 130,000 left!

    ¡°But Hu Zongnan reported that at least hundreds of thousands of troops crowded at Xiaguan Pier. What does this mean?  Does this mean that the dozen or so divisions left behind in Nanjing have not escaped?

    Zheng Jiemin, He Zhonghan, Chen Brai and other close confidants also looked at each other.

    Doesn¡¯t this mean that the dozen or so elite divisions left behind in Nanjing will destroy the entire army?

    Such a result is far from Chairman Chiang¡¯s expectations!

    After a long while, Chairman Chiang asked almost nervously: "Why not cross the river? Why not cross the river?"

    "Commitment, there are no ships!" Qian Dajun sighed and said sadly, "Originally, there were two large river ships and more than two hundred small civilian ships at Xiaguan Pier. After the Battle of Nanjing started, Tang Shengzhi tried to show his desperate efforts to defend Nanjing.  Determined, two large river ships were rushed to Wuhan, and two hundredMost of the civilian ships were also burned.  "

    Hearing this, Chairman Chiang¡¯s vision suddenly went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.

    Chairman Chiang does not know these situations. If he had known this earlier, he might not have ordered a retreat!

    "Had I known it earlier, I shouldn't have given the order to retreat. If I hadn't given this order, more than a dozen elite divisions would have defended the city and started house-to-house street battles with the Japanese army. Even if they would still be completely wiped out in the end, they would still be able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army!

    But now, the officers and soldiers of these dozen elite divisions have completely lost their will to resist. They can easily eliminate them as long as the Japanese army arrives!  The Japanese army was able to wipe out more than a dozen of his elite divisions without any effort!

    At this moment, Chairman Chiang really felt regretful in his intestines!  I regret giving the order to retreat!

    The more Chairman Jiang thought about it, the more he regretted it. The more he thought about it, the tighter his chest became. Then without any warning, his throat suddenly felt sweet, and a mouthful of old blood surged up. Then he stumbled backwards.

    "Commissioned seat?!"

    "Commissioned seat?!"

    Several cronies rushed forward and helped Chairman Chiang.

    "It's okay, I'm okay." Chairman Jiang waved his hand, and then sighed sadly, "Tang Sheng's wisdom misled me, Tang Sheng's wisdom misled me, a dozen elite divisions, these are a dozen elite divisions!"

    Qian Dajun then whispered: "Commissioner, the entire 36th Division of Song Xilian has crossed the Yangtze River, and part of the 74th Army has also crossed the river. In addition, Xu Yuanquan's 2nd Army has also crossed the river near Wulong Mountain in advance."

    Hearing this, Chairman Jiang felt a little better, but soon lamented: "There are still the 87th Division, the 88th Division, and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps! Where are the 66th Army and the 83rd Army?"

    Qian Dajun was silent. All the remaining ships at Xiaguan Pier had been robbed by the 36th Division and the 74th Army, but the remaining troops had no choice but to cross the river!

    But in such a cold weather, crossing the river is simply courting death!

    After a long while, Chairman Chiang gritted his teeth and said: "Where is Tang Shengzhi, has he escaped?"

    Qian Dajun said: "Commander Tang ran very fast. He has already arrived in Chuzhou."

    "He has already arrived in Chuzhou?" Chairman Jiang said bitterly, "Let him come to Wuhan to see me!"

    Qian Dajun agreed, turned around and left, but looking at Qian Dajun leaving the house, Chairman Jiang suddenly felt at a loss. Even if Tang Shengzhi arrived in Wuhan, what could he do?

    The military order to retreat was given by Jiang himself!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
