Chapter 148: Evacuating Nanjing City (new book, please watch)
After asking about the situation and understanding the twists and turns, Xiaoshan Ling said nothing more about this matter!
However, when he thought that Li Guoyao, a small infantry brigade commander, would command hundreds of thousands of troops to break through, Xiao Shanling was still a little worried and immediately said: "Brother Su Yan is right, the city of Nanjing cannot be defended, and besides, the brothers are here After more than a week of bloody fighting, we have given an explanation to the people of the country. If we don¡¯t withdraw, the whole army will be completely wiped out! But how do you plan to command the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city to break out?"
Li Guoyao was not pretentious and simply explained his plan immediately.
After hearing Li Guoyao's plan, Xiao Shanling suddenly frowned and said: "It's okay for the 66th Army and the 83rd Army to break out from the direction of Ningguo. Judging from the current situation, it's not a big problem, but there are fully ten remaining troops. Several divisions of troops are rushing to Xiaguan, how can this be done?"
"What's wrong?"
"When I passed by Xiaguan in the afternoon, I found that there were still a large number of people who had not crossed the Yangtze River. Now so many troops have arrived, it will inevitably cause chaos. What's more, we don't have that many ships at Xiaguan Pier. !" Xiao Shan ordered.
"Brother Tie Nong is worried that our army will not cross the river in time and will be surrounded and annihilated by the Japs near Xiaguan Pier?"
"Well, that's right!"
"You can rest assured that after the efforts of our independent brigade these days, there are now at least 700 ships on the Shimonoseki River, including more than 10 large ferries and merchant ships, and the rest are fishing boats. These fishing boats can transport one person at a time. With more than 10,000 people, at most the people in Xiaguan will be evacuated to the other side of the river tomorrow morning, leaving only the hundreds of thousands of troops. According to our estimates, they can all be transported in one to two days at most. On the other side!" Li Guoyao said.
"Yes, you also said that it will take one to two days, but with the current situation of the little devils, I am afraid that they will come back as soon as we withdraw. By then, let alone one or two days, I am afraid that it will take only one or two hours. It won¡¯t be left to us!¡±
Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "Brother Tie Nong underestimates me, Li Guoyao. Of course I have my own reasons for doing this. Tell the truth to brother Tie Nong. Our troops started building defensive positions outside Nanjing three days ago. Since then. Our troops have built a total of 5 lines of defense along the way from Yijiangmen to Xiaguan, and there are also three lines of defense around the Xiaguan Pier. It is not that easy for the little devils to pass through these lines of defense and encircle and annihilate us!"
Hearing Li Guoyao's words, Xiao Shanling was completely stunned. He started building fortifications three days ago. This shows that Li Guoyao had already deduced today's situation. This level is really amazing.
But if you think about Li Guoyao's previous achievements, you will know that this person is not an officer in the ordinary sense. With a small army, he can cause trouble on the front line in Shanghai. How can his level be so bad!
Xiao Shanling thought for a while and said immediately: "Brother solemnly, since the matter has come to this, I won't say anything. I will just implement your plan. If something happens, you don't need to bear it alone. Brother I, the commander of the military police and the mayor of Nanjing, will carry it with you!"
"Brother Tie Nong, it's actually not necessary. Not many people know that I'm commanding the Nanjing troops on my behalf. Apart from the brothers under me, you should be the first one. As long as you don't tell me, no one will tell me about it." Got it!" Li Guoyao said.
"Brother solemnly, I can shoulder this matter with you, but I can't hide it for you!"
"Why?"
"Because I am the commander of the military police and must be loyal to the chairman. After this incident, my brother will definitely report it to the chairman, but I will not add fuel to the fire and tell the truth!" Xiao Shanling said in a deep voice.
"Understood!" Li Guoyao said.
"Seriously, what are we going to do next? Is there anything I can do to help?" Xiao Shanling asked again.
Li Guoyao was about to say that he didn¡¯t need help, but suddenly he thought of what was going on in Xiaguan, and immediately said, ¡°There is really something that needs Brother Tienong¡¯s help!¡±
"you say!"
"It's like this. Now many troops, including the Second Army, the 71st Army, the 72nd Army, the 74th Army, and the 78th Army, are withdrawing to Xiaguan Pier. These troops are all direct members of the Central Army. One by one They are all the confidants of the committee, arrogant and powerful generals. In addition, the current situation is such a crisis, so it is conceivable that when these people arrive at Xiaguan Pier, they will inevitably cause chaos due to the order of retreat, and even fight for Take this action.¡±
Li Guoyao then continued: "Originally, I had given orders to the remaining troops at Xiaguan Wharf.If a group of troops dares to fight for the ferry, they will immediately shoot and suppress it. But now that Brother Tie Nong is here, I hope that Brother Tie Nong can personally go to Xiaguan Wharf to direct the soldiers and civilians to cross the river. I believe Brother Tie Nong, the commander of the military police, still has the face of them. It should be given. "
Xiao Shanling immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can coax you!"
"Well, Brother Tie Nong, I hope that after you arrive at Xiaguan, you will first send the people to the other side of the river, and the troops will finally retreat!" Li Guoyao said.
"Seriously, why are the people evacuating first and not the army?"
"Because the common people don't have guns in their hands. Once the Japs go crazy, they can only be massacred. But the army is different. They have guns in their hands. Even if they die, they can fight to the death with the Japs."
Having said this, Li Guoyao looked at Xiao Shanling and said again: "More importantly, I have always believed that the meaning of the existence of soldiers is to protect the people. If in the face of danger, the soldiers do not block the front but push the people to the enemy's knife edge, Such an army has no meaning in existence!¡±
"That's good, don't worry, brother, I swear on my honor as a soldier that I will never let the troops withdraw in front of the people."
¡°Well, then I¡¯ll trouble Brother Tie Nong about this!¡±
"It's not really a trouble. If Brother Shen Shen hadn't turned the tide today, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Nanjing would have no chance of breaking out. Brother, I would have become a sinner of the Party and the state!"
"Brother Tie Nong, thank you. I just happened to get the chance. If I had a choice, I wouldn't be the one who stands out, but it's a pity Forget it, the time is almost up, let's withdraw too!" Li Guoyao road.
"Well, brother solemnly, please leave first. My brothers are still behind. I will rendezvous with them before retreating!"
"Okay, I'll take my leave now, little brother. Let's see you in Xiaguan!"
"See you in Xiaguan!"
Then Li Guoyao did not stay in the city for long, and immediately took the personnel directly under the brigade headquarters to evacuate outside the city under the protection of a battalion of troops!
Looking at the retreating figures of Li Guoyao and others, Xiao Shanling fell into silence.
Although Li Guoyao just said it was a coincidence, Xiao Shanling didn't particularly believe it. Could it really be such a coincidence?
As the supreme commander of all the troops in Nanjing City designated by Tang Shengzhi, Xiao Shanling's command level and strategy are first-class, otherwise it would be impossible to be recognized and appreciated by Tang Shengzhi.
In fact, when he returned to Nanjing, he discovered that something was not quite right, because when he escorted Tang Shengzhi and others out of the city, he found that some troops were in chaos. There were rioters everywhere in the city. Apparently, some troops had received the order to break out and were retreating. .
However, when he returned to the city, he found that all the rebels had suddenly disappeared, and the sound of gunfire from various positions was more intense than before, which showed that the city defense had not collapsed.
At first, he thought it was the combat staff he left at the garrison headquarters who were coordinating, but when he led people to reinforce Zijin Mountain and fought with the Japanese for two hours, he realized something was wrong.
Because according to his expectation, even if nothing happens on the Purple Mountain side, once the breakout order is issued, the troops in Yuhuatai and Guanghuamen and other places will look for opportunities to retreat, and they will never be able to hold on for so long.
"But looking down from Zijin Mountain, we found that almost all the Fulang positions in Nanjing City were at war, and the Japanese army had not invaded the city. This phenomenon was extremely unreasonable. At that time, the Xiaoshan Order felt that something was wrong.
As the orders from the garrison headquarters were issued to the front line one after another, and the wording was very strict, more importantly, the actions and tone of the messengers and operators were completely different from those of the original people in the garrison headquarters, and there were not so many There was a lot of red tape, and no matter what it was, it was very straightforward. At this time, Xiao Shanling knew that the garrison headquarters had been replaced.
At first, Xiao Shanling thought that Deputy Commander Luo Zhuoying was unwilling to retreat and came back privately, but then he thought about the possibility, but he never expected that it would be Li Guoyao, a young brigade commander who had just been promoted to major general. In Yuezu acting as an agent.
More importantly, looking back on the whole process, Xiao Shanling had the illusion that all this was a game of Li Guoyao.
However, this was just a guess by Xiao Shanling. As for the truth, he did not investigate carefully. Firstly, he did not have enough time. Secondly, Xiaoshanling felt that it was not necessary. As long as Li Guoyao did not betray his country and seek glory, compared to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, The rest is really not important.
