Chapter 134: New system tasks (new book please watch)
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Guoyao said again: "I have thought about it. Once we leave Nanjing City quietly, we will be saved, but the more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing City will be completely finished! Because once the order collapses, they There will be no command center, no logistical supplies, no retreat routes, no supporting troops, and no one to come to the rear.¡±
"In addition to the fact that the more than 100,000 troops may not be able to evacuate Nanjing City, more importantly, there are more than 100,000 ordinary people at Xiaguan Pier. According to our estimates, there will be at least 50,000 to 80,000 ordinary people at Xiaguan Pier who will not have time to evacuate after tomorrow. At least they still have time to evacuate. It will take a day. Once we withdraw, these tens of thousands of ordinary people will become the targets of the little devils to vent their hatred, and the result will be a blood-stained Yangtze River. Do you think we still want to withdraw?"
Ma Desheng gritted his teeth and said: "Brigadier, we understand what you mean, but I want to ask for the brothers, what can we do if we stay?"
"Your Majesty! Cover the retreat of the main force!" Li Guoyao said decisively.
¡°Can our brigade really stop the Japs¡¯ seven divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops?¡± the deputy commander of the Seventh Guards Regiment asked in a deep voice.
"It's definitely impossible to stop them. The little devils are rocks and we are eggs. Everyone knows the result of an egg hitting a rock! But we don't need to stop the little devils, we just need to hold them back!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "Now that the city of Nanjing is over, there is definitely not much suspense about the city being broken. The army's withdrawal from Nanjing is also the general trend. But I am worried that once the city is broken, the defenders will completely collapse, and eventually they will be defeated by the little devils one by one, and eventually all the troops will be defeated." The army was annihilated. Therefore, I decided to take you to guard the rear of the entire 100,000-strong army in Nanjing City and cover their retreat. Are you willing?"
Ma Desheng immediately stood up and asked: "Brigadier Commander, what are our chances of winning this battle?"
"If we are to cover the main force's smooth retreat and breakout, I dare say the probability is more than 80%. But if we can bring everyone here head to tail safely, I can't guarantee it. Even once our independent brigade takes on the responsibility If we accept the important task of the rear, the entire army may be annihilated!" Li Guoyao said truthfully.
"Brigadier, do you really want to do this?" Ma Desheng asked again.
"Well, I'm sure!"
Then Li Guoyao continued: "Brothers, it's not that I, Li Guoyao, want to be a hero, but our independent brigade now has 9 fully equipped infantry regiments, totaling more than 25,000 people! There are also 7 without weapons and equipment. Supplementary regiment, this part of the army has a total of 16,000 people, and the total strength is 41,000 people. With such a large force, just abandoning the city and fleeing in despair, I, Li Guoyao, cannot do it. If I really do this , I will feel guilty!"
"You may die if you stay, but even if you die, it will be a well-deserved death. Death is more important than Mount Tai! Even if you die, you can meet your ancestors and brothers in an upright manner. I, Li Guoyao, have not embarrassed them!"
Hearing Li Guoyao's voice, Lu Dashan was the first to say: "I, Lu Dashan, don't understand any big principles, but I know that what the host said is right. If you want to leave, you can leave. I, Old Lu, will follow the host to guard Nanjing!" "
Ma Desheng also expressed his position: "As a chief of staff, my reason tells me that if this battle is fought, our independent brigade may only have one number left. But as a Chinese soldier, I admire the brigade's spirit of self-sacrifice. So I support Traveler¡¯s decision!¡±
Wang Yuanshun stood up and said: "I, Wang Yuanshun, have been working in the Nanjing Police Station for most of my life. I have not done many good things, but I have done many bad things and I am also greedy. I should be the first to escape from Nanjing. But Brig. What you said made me feel ashamed. From now on, my life, Wang Yuanshun, will be handed over to you, Master. I, Wang Yuanshun, will follow you wherever you go!"
"If a man is dead, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of millions of years. I should have been dead when we were in Songjiang City. Now everything we live for every day is earned. Fight as you please, Mr. Lu!" Lu Wenlong said loudly.
?¡
Hearing that the vast majority of people supported his decision, Li Guoyao was very happy. In this era when life is cheaper than a dog, there is nothing more touching than having such a group of brothers who are willing to die with you. .
Thinking of this, Li Guoyao immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, thank you all for your support and trust in me. No matter what the final outcome of today's battle, you will be my Li Guoyao's brothers for life."
Then Li Guoyao said again: "Okay, I won't say any more sensational words. I, Li Guoyao, promise to try my best to take the brothers out alive."
Ma Desheng asked againSaid: "Brigadier Commander, since we have decided to stay and serve as the rear guard for the army, what should we do specifically?"
Li Guoyao strode to the map and said: "Now the Japanese army has captured most of the positions in the three directions of Nanjing, southeast and west. So far, only the north gate can be used for the army to break through. As long as they reach the Xiaguan line and take boats to cross the Yangtze River north, the troops will This means we have successfully broken through, so once the city is broken we must guide all the troops to rush to Xiaguan."
"Secondly, while guiding the defenders to withdraw to Xiaguan, we also have to shoulder the important task of blocking the Japanese army, and this is the focus of this battle. Fortunately, three days ago, I ordered the troops outside the city to move to Yanshan and Wujiazhuang. Five lines of defense have been built in other places, and three lines of defense have been built outside Xiaguan Pier. With the strength of more than a dozen of our regiments, we can hold off the Japanese army for four to five days."
"Of course, we have to ask the troops at Xiaguan Pier to cross the river as soon as possible and try to transport everyone to Jiangbei within three days, so that we can withdraw."
As soon as Li Guoyao finished speaking, Ma Desheng said in a deep voice: "Brigade, although your plan is good, our brigade lacks weapons and equipment, and most importantly, lacks ammunition. Whether we can last for three days is still unknown!"
"I will take care of the weapons and equipment matters. Now listen to my orders. The First Regiment will continue to guard Yijiang Gate, and the Second Regiment will continue to stay at Xiaguan Wharf to maintain order. The First Regiment and the Second Regiment will be stationed at Xiaguan Wharf and will continue to repair the fortifications. , be on guard against the Japanese troops in the direction of Purple Mountain and Central Gate!"
"yes!"
"Order: The Third Guard Regiment rushes to China Gate tonight to reinforce the 260th Brigade of the 87th Division. If the position collapses, immediately transfer to the previously built reserve position!"
"yes!"
¡°Order: The Fourth Guard Regiment will continue to stay at Guanghuamen with the 259th Brigade, and the Fifth Guard Regiment will provide reinforcements overnight. We must not retreat without orders from the brigade headquarters!¡±
"yes!"
"Order: Guard the 88th Division of the Sixth and Seventh Regiments to reinforce Yuhuatai. No retreat is allowed without an order!"
"yes!"
"Order: The 9th and 10th Guard Regiments moved closer to Anjiang Street overnight, the 11th and 12th Guard Regiments rushed to Tiancheng Yanghang, the 13th Guards Regiments gathered near Wuhe Warehouse, and the 14th and 15th Guards Regiments gathered near the Wuhe Warehouse. Then gather at the train station and wait for orders from the brigade headquarters!"
"yes!"
"Order: The Eighth Guard Regiment, the Brigade Guard Battalion, the Reconnaissance Battalion, and the Artillery Battalion serve as the reserve force of the entire army!"
"yes!"
After issuing the order, Li Guoyao said again: "Brothers, from now on, the battle to defend Nanjing has entered a moment of real bloodshed and sacrifice. Can you safely escort the remaining tens of thousands of people and more than 100,000 troops in Nanjing to the other side of the river? , it all depends on your performance!¡±
"Please rest assured, sir, even if we fight to the last man, we will resolutely complete the mission!" Ma Desheng said loudly.
"Okay, let's get ready!"
"yes!"
As soon as everyone dispersed, Bai Qi's voice suddenly sounded in Li Guoyao's mind: "The host triggered a hidden mission - to cover the retreat of the main force. The mission requirements: The soldiers from the command post stayed behind the main force, prevented the Japanese from pursuing them, and covered the main force's smooth crossing. Jiang. Reward for completing the mission: 2,000 system points and one chance to draw a lottery! Punishment for mission failure: 5 minutes of lightning strikes!"
