Chapter 146: Unexpected guest Xiaoshan Ling (new book please watch)
The sudden good news made Li Guoyao less worried. Now he has points in the system, money, weapons and equipment, and enough troops. If he does not consider the consequences, with the strength of Nanjing City, he can If you command, it is possible to hold on for another half month.
However, Li Guoyao knew that this was a hypothesis. Theoretical things are always theories. Regardless of the overall strength, the defenders in the city can indeed hold on for a week or two, but the premise is that the troops on the front line cannot know who is commanding them to fight. Li Guoyao.
Once the troops on the front line know that it is Li Guoyao who is commanding them and the Japs at the garrison headquarters, they will collapse in an instant. The name is not justified!
So even if Li Guoyao is unwilling, he can only choose to evacuate Nanjing at the most appropriate time!
Fortunately, all the things that need to be done have been done. The refugees, defeated soldiers, and wounded in the city have all been sent to Xiaguan Pier in the morning. In addition, after an afternoon and half a night of rush transportation, the city garrison headquarters left The weapons and equipment that came down and an astonishing amount of strategic materials were all transported outside the city. More importantly, the shocking wealth was also taken away by Li Guoyao and others.
Time passed minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye it was 11:30 at night, and the sound of gunfire outside the city gradually stopped.
Li Guoyao knew that this was not because the Japs no longer planned to take Nanjing, but because the Japanese commander outside the city believed that the front-line troops had been fighting continuously for more than 48 hours and needed a period of rest.
More importantly, according to reports coming back from the front line, the Chinese army on the front line has just received a considerable amount of reinforcements. It will be difficult for the Imperial Japanese Army to break through for a while. They must adjust their tactics, so they decided to take a temporary rest for two hours. , wait for the troops on the front line to slow down a little, and then launch a general attack at once.
Historically, this is what the Japs did, but because the city's defenders had completely collapsed at that time, when the Japs' raiding force climbed onto the Nanjing city wall, they found that all the defenders had retreated, not even a single person. No, then the Japanese army invaded Nanjing.
Hearing the gunfire outside the city gradually fell silent, Li Guoyao knew it was time to retreat. He immediately ordered the combat staff to call various units on the front line and ordered them to withdraw from their positions immediately and evacuate Nanjing according to the original plan.
After receiving the order from the "Garrison Headquarters", all units evacuated their positions in an orderly manner, covering each other and evacuating Nanjing in accordance with the retreat plan formulated by the "Garrison Headquarters".
After receiving the response orders from the frontline units, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the guard units and staff members of the garrison headquarters to pack up and evacuate!
But just when Li Guoyao was about to evacuate, the guards suddenly reported that General Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police and mayor of Nanjing, was here!
In fact, Li Guoyao didn't want to see anyone at this time, because with his current status, he really couldn't see anyone. After all, he was just a major general commander of an infantry brigade in a miscellaneous army, but now he was commanding more than a dozen corps commanders and division commanders to fight the Japanese army. , and it was a front-line command that was taken over without orders from superiors. No matter who knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not to mention what Chairman Chiang in Wuhan City thinks, Tang Shengzhi and others who have fled to Jiangbei will hate Li Guoyao to the bone, because Li Guoyao's behavior is tantamount to slapping them in the face.
"In addition, the division commanders and army commanders in Nanjing will be unhappy if they know this. How can you, a small and unknown brigade commander, command our direct troops to fight? You are very courageous!"
But when he learned that it was Xiao Shan Ling who wanted to see him, Li Guoyao thought about it and decided to meet him. The reason was that this Xiao Shan Ling was very different from other generals of the national army, and he was also an iron-blooded general that Li Guoyao admired.
Not many people may know about Xiao Shanling, but anyone who pays attention to the Nanjing Massacre or has read such books should have heard of this name, because he was China's top general who died in the battle to defend Nanjing, and at the same time He was also the first general to live and die with the city during the Anti-Japanese War.
Xiao Shanling, courtesy name Tienong, was born in 1892 in Yiyang, Hunan. Graduated from Hunan Army Primary School and Baoding Military Academy.
Because of his insight and bravery, Xiao Shanling was quickly appreciated by his superior Tang Shengzhi, and was ordered to participate in the preparation of the Military Police Headquarters and was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Military Police Headquarters. It was here that Xiao Shanling began his career as a military police officer.
In 1929, Xiaoshan Ling came to Nanjing and stayed in Nanjing for eight years. His official rank gradually rose, from lieutenant colonel to colonel, and to major general in 1937. Xiaoshan Ling's journey could be considered smooth
After the Battle of Songhu, Shanghai fell. Japanese troops poured into Nanjing in three groups, forming a strategic siege on the city of Nanjing, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordered by the Yangtze River. Nanjing was in danger.
In the early morning of December 7, Chairman Chiang and his wife left Nanjing by plane. One day later, Gu Zhenglun, then commander of the military police and commander of the Nanjing garrison and air defense, went to Wuhan for medical treatment due to illness and was unable to command the battle. As his deputy, Xiao Shanling was ordered to act as the "three commanders" of the military police commander, Nanjing garrison commander and air defense commander.
Afterwards, Nanjing Mayor Ma Junchao escaped from the city in danger. Chiang Kai-shek thought of Xiao Shan Ling again, and handed over the two important responsibilities of the Commander of the Capital Guard and the Mayor of Nanjing to Xiao Shan Ling. In addition, he also served as the Chief of the Capital Police Department and the Commander of Crossing the River.
In the dangerous city, Xiao Shanling held seven positions and commanded 110,000 Chinese soldiers, guarding Nanjing with the heart of dying for the country.
At this time, Nanjing was isolated and helpless. It was an isolated city, heavily troops pressed against the border, and it was in danger.
After the Battle of Nanjing officially started, when the Japanese troops came to the city, Xiao Shan was ordered to defend the city and became the actual person in charge of defending Nanjing. At this time, the Japanese invaders attacked Nanjing, with seven divisions and 120,000 troops. In addition to aircraft and warships, Nanjing was surrounded by the Japanese army. The Nanjing defenders only had 10,000 elite military police directly under the Xiaoshan Order, and about 30,000 people from two army divisions and engineering units directly under the Xiaoshan Order. Together with the regular army under the Garrison Department that was temporarily placed under command, there were a total of 110,000 people.
In the later stages of the Nanjing Defense War, the defenders had been defeated. Many people persuaded Xiao Shanling to leave Nanjing, but he sternly refused. Xiaoshan Ling said to those who persuaded him: "Defending the land and defending the country is the sacred duty of a soldier. I should do it." Serve the country with all your loyalty, and lie down on the battlefield with a smile. Defend Nanjing to the death, and I will decide as soon as possible!"
His awe-inspiring righteousness is shocking.
After the Japanese army issued a general attack order, two hundred fighter jets soared over the Zhonghua Gate, and more than 90 cannons bombarded it day and night. The "impregnable" ancient city wall became extremely fragile at this time.
With the fall of Zhonghua Gate, the whole city of Nanjing was in chaos. Residents in the city crowded the streets and fled. Telecommunications were interrupted, and the defending troops fought on their own, engaging in fierce gun battles with the Japanese army, and then the entire army collapsed.
In the subsequent breakout battle, Xiaoshan Ling was ordered by Tang Shengzhi to serve as the commander-in-chief of crossing the river, and each legion broke out at the designated location. After the order was issued, except for the 83rd Army and the 66th Army, which were ordered to break out around Qixia Mountain, the other 74th Army, 72nd Army, 71st Army, 87th Division, 88th Division, etc. all seized the road and rushed to Xianguan.
The road leading to Xiaguan Pier was crowded with residents scrambling to cross the river, pushing and trampling on each other. For a time, there were shouts, cries and cries for help from people who fell into the water. A large number of Chinese officers and soldiers crossing the river were killed by Japanese naval firepower. The rolling Yangtze River was filled with corpses of soldiers, including those who were beaten to death or trampled to death. In fact, the blood stained the river red, and the surging Yangtze River became the life and death line for Nanjing's soldiers and civilians.
Because there were too many people and few boats, until the early morning of the 13th, two-thirds of the troops in Xiaguan still did not cross the river, including the Xiaoshan order.
At this time, the Japanese 6th Division was chasing after them and opened fire on the retreating Chinese soldiers and civilians. Xiao Shan ordered the military police to stop the attack on the spot. The Japanese army was caught off guard, suffered many casualties, and retreated in a hurry. But soon, the Japanese troops launched another charge under the cover of machine guns. Large numbers of Japanese troops continued to pour in, surrounding and firing in a semicircle.
At this time, there is nothing hidden by the river. The pursuing Japanese troops did not expect that the Chinese military police troops would resist tenaciously and fight to the death.
After five hours of fierce fighting, the gendarmerie troops had suffered all their casualties. At around 7 p.m., 7,000 Japanese cavalrymen and the waterway navy approached the riverside. Water, land and air attacked our soldiers and civilians crossing the river.
At the critical moment, Xiaoshan's commander raised his arms and shouted: "Success is the day, today is the day!" He led the few remaining officers and soldiers, bayonets pointed out, to fight with the Japanese army hand-to-hand, and all died heroically.
Unwilling to be captured and humiliated, Xiaoshan Ling fought until the last moment and died for his country at the age of 45.
??It must be that Xiao Shanling discovered the anomaly in the headquarters, so he came here to check the situation in person when the troops were withdrawing. Now that the person is outside the door, how can Li Guoyao just say that he has not seen him?
Since he had to see him, Li Guoyao stopped being secretive and immediately ordered people to invite Xiao Shanling in. He also wanted to see what the iron-blooded general would look like when he saw him!
? Surprised or angry, or
