Chapter 161 How to Guard?

The progress between Zheng Man and Zheng Man was so fast that Zhang Tianhai could not imagine it. He originally only had some good feelings for a woman like Zheng Man, but despite his good feelings, he lacked precautions.

I just never expected that the two of them would actually be dating together now? Is this the dead virtue of a stinky man? Although heroes love beauty, it has always existed in ancient times, but is it too fast?

Regarding the question of whether it is fast or slow, Zhang Tianhai is also questioning his own heart, but he still can't get the answer. Maybe this is a man!

But now that we are together, Zhang Tianhai doesn’t want to be such a heartless person, so go ahead boldly. A girl has already achieved this level, what else do you want? Do you really want to imitate Xu Zhimo? Don’t try.

If we keep going, how can we know the result?

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on Zhang Tianhai's face. This was definitely the first smile from the heart after entering the Songhu battlefield until today. Looking at Zheng Man again, the same was true.

The sweet smile on her face is extremely beautiful on her pretty face that brings disaster to the country and the people.

If this were in the peaceful 21st century, even if she was bare-faced, she would still be a star-level beauty in any casual photo. Moreover, she was a pretty military flower. With her strength at the time, even if she was in the Navy

The brigade has the reputation of "God of War", but how can a small company commander like him be worthy of her?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai gently clenched the soft hand in his hand, his face became more and more proud, and even the fact that he had just offended an ace master with real power was forgotten. Love,

What a terrifyingly blind thing.

In fact, sometimes when Zhang Tianhai is alone and quiet, he will think that he has already come to this era and has traveled through time to this seventh-generation Huangpu student. Will this be considered a part of history?

However, after much thought, I still didn't get the answer.

Maybe when he returned to the Republic of China, he was destined to accomplish something. But Zhang Tianhai didn't know what he wanted to accomplish. Maybe he would die like Huo Qubing after completing his mission.

Will the Battle of Nanjing be his last battle? You must know that in the Battle of Nanjing, except for the 36th Division, which basically withdrew, most of the other troops did not withdraw. Even the 87th Division

, the two elite aces of the Eighty-Eighth Division were also wiped out in this battle, which is really sad. But my own regiment directly under the theater will be like the Eighty-seventh Division and the Eighty-Eighth Division

Destiny?

To be honest, Zhang Tianhai had no idea. The Eighty-seventh Division and the Eighty-eighth Division were so powerful that they could not escape misfortune. What about his newly established regiment directly under the theater? Just four battalions, fighting

There are only about 2,500 soldiers, what can they do? To put it bluntly, it is not enough to squeeze the teeth of the Japanese, and this is even when the entire regiment is fully staffed!

The camera shifts to a week ago, time, 8:00 a.m. on November 16, 1937; location, Sun Yat-sen Cemetery in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's residence.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had not yet built the presidential palace. After all, when the Central Army was fighting wars everywhere and money was used everywhere, he would not waste money on where he lived.

Chiang Kai-shek's residence was no different from other small foreign-style buildings of this era. They were both two stories high, but they occupied a larger area.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was walking in the corridor of his office with a worried look on his face. The troops in Shanghai had only been evacuated for two or three days, and all the troops were already in retreat, desperately marching westward, and most of them had lost contact. How could he not be worried?

"Dajun, the situation on the front line is in chaos now. I would like to hear your opinion on the defense of Nanjing." Chiang Kai-shek asked Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office next to him.

Qian Dajun sorted out his words, and then said: "Commissioner, I can't explain this humble position clearly, but looking around the princes and middle-level senior generals, there are probably three voices, that is, whether Nanjing can be defended or not, and the other is the defense.

As for Nanjing, if you should keep it, you should keep it symbolically."

"Niang Xipi, there are so many feeble voices!" Chiang Kai-shek cursed through gritted teeth, "By the way, who are the people who advocate not guarding Nanjing?"

"It's the group headed by Mr. Wang Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei)." Qian Dajun answered truthfully. When he reached his position, he had all the glory and wealth, and the only thing he had to do was to be loyal.

After hearing that it was Wang Jingwei's group who advocated voluntarily giving up Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek felt much relieved, and then asked: "Then most people agree to defend Nanjing?"

Qian Dajun responded: "Yes, basically most senior generals advocate the defense of Nanjing, but there is a big controversy between a firm defense and a symbolic defense."

"Okay, immediately notify He Yingqin (Minister of Military Affairs), Bai Chongxi (Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Commission), Liu Fei (Director of the Operations Department of the Military Command Department), Tang Shengzhi (Director of the Executive Department of the Military Commission), Gu Zhenglun (Nanjing Garrison Commander) and Zhang

A group of (Kuomintang elders) arrived for a meeting. At ten o'clock, I must see their people present!" Chiang Kai-shek ordered a second meeting of senior staff, excluding Wang Jingwei and did not notify him to come to the meeting.

"Yes!" Qian Dajun responded, and then went to carry out Jiang's order.

In subsequent meetings, these senior officials basically agreed with the symbolic defense of Nanjing. They believed that although Japan had strong military equipment, it had a small population, insufficient soldiers, a small territory, and lack of resources, so one city and one place should not be considered.

In terms of gain or loss, in terms of troop strength, twelve to eighteen regiments should provide appropriate resistance and then retreat proactively to preserve strength for the next phase of the battle, accumulating small victories into big victories, and achieve the purpose of consuming the effective strength of the Japanese army. As for those who are responsible for the garrison

Nanjing's troops can defend with the two divisions of Liu Xiang's division of the Sichuan Army as the main force.

At the meeting, only Tang Shengzhi, director of the Executive Department of the Military Commission, advocated that Nanjing must be defended. He believed that Nanjing is the capital of our country, is important for international viewing, and is the location of Premier Sun’s mausoleum. If we abandon Nanjing, what will happen to us?

Premier Sun's spirit in heaven? Because Nanjing must be defended.

At this meeting, all those present were members of the main war faction, but except for Tang Shengzhi, no one supported the decision to defend. Faced with the two factions with clear opinions, Chiang Kai-shek did not make an immediate decision, and only said:

"Meng Xiao (Tang Shengzhi's nickname)'s opinion is right and worth considering. Let's study it further!"

After Chiang Kai-shek said this, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Another night later, that is, the night of November 17, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek held his third senior staff meeting. At the meeting, Tang Shengzhi was still the only one who insisted that Nanjing must be defended.

At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "Who is responsible for holding on to Nanjing?"

At this time, none of the senior generals at the meeting spoke up. Finally, Tang Shengzhi stood up and broke the silence. He said firmly: "Chairman, if no one else is responsible, I will

No matter how hard it is, I will definitely hold on and live or die with the city of Nanjing!"
