Base System of Bashu Heroes

Guard! The current situation is no longer in danger. Withdraw? If the chairman of the committee blames you, you cannot afford it.

An idea flashed when he was hesitating. Tang Shengzhi discussed with Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, deputy commander-in-chief, and chief of staff Zhou that night, and decided to start the retreat on the night of the 14th. So at about 2 o'clock in the morning on the 12th, he convened the staff to formulate a retreat plan.

The fall of Nanjing was a foregone conclusion. A large number of fleeing residents and retreating stragglers crowded the streets, and the order in the city began to fall into chaos. The Nanjing garrison began to waver. Tang Shengzhi and others decided to withdraw that night. At 17:00 on December 12, the garrison

The headquarters convened a meeting of generals above the rank of lieutenant commander of the Nanjing garrison to arrange the retreat. Tang Shengzhi first briefly explained the current battle situation and asked everyone whether they could continue to hold on. No one among the generals spoke. Tang Shengzhi then showed Chiang Kai-shek's "If the situation cannot last long,

The telegram "But the camera can be withdrawn" successfully tied everyone together, and everyone was responsible for the blame.

The plan of the Nanjing Defense War was not to defend, and Jiang could retreat, but in actual execution, it turned into a defensive. Probably Tang only remembered his rhetoric. Before the war, Tang had ordered: all ships on the south coast (including the garrison commander's department)

They were all handed over to the control of the 36th Division, with a firm determination to defend. Troops outside the city were not allowed to retreat into the city, and troops inside the city were not allowed to leave the city. Hu Zongnan's First Army on the north bank could shoot the boats sneaking across the river north. Although this method is rigid, if it can be implemented,

The desperate move eliminated everyone's idea of ​​​​retreating, and instead they could concentrate on defending. But the actual situation was not like this: Tang's commander secretly kept a small steamer, and each division secretly kept a boat, but only the division and brigade commanders knew it, so

The senior officers had left a way out for themselves from the beginning. Only the national soldiers on the front line were truly determined to defend!

After the order was conveyed, the army and division commanders ran away first. As a result, all the troops did not retreat according to the planned retreat route, but instead rushed to Xiaguan, where the enemy had not yet reached, in order to quickly and safely cross the river and retreat north. Many of them did not receive the order to retreat.

The troops retreated after discovering the retreat of friendly forces. Although they received the order but did not know the retreat route, the brigade commanders also believed that since their superiors wanted the troops to retreat, a large number of river crossing tools must have been prepared in Xiaguan, so they all rushed towards

Xiaguan.

When the Nanjing garrison retreated frantically, Liu Tianchu of Wulong Mountain received the order and tried his best to defend it. Liu Tianchu smiled bitterly at the order telegram. Although this was a result he already knew, there was still a trace of sadness in his heart.

The defense line was empty before the Japanese army arrived, and the time was ripe. Liu Tianchu gathered all the officers of the division and above at the Wulongshan Pass Fort for pre-war mobilization. He loudly said: "Japan, a small country, bullied me too much. When I went to Wuhan, I was seriously ill.

The Commander-in-Chief has made a will. His words are not personal, but express his aspirations. They are all words of encouragement to the soldiers of the Sichuan Army. He said: The war of resistance will last until the end, and the original will will remain unchanged. The enemy troops will not withdraw from the country for a day, and the Sichuan Army will vow not to return home for a day.

!Fought bloody battles with the Japanese invaders to the end, and the will was spread to all armies. All the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army were deeply affected, and they swore to serve the country. Our 133rd Division could not be left behind. The current situation in Nanjing is that the Japanese invaders have surrounded the city on all sides, and our army

However, they abandoned the city and fled, ignoring the safety of millions of people in Nanjing. The line from Wulongshan to Guangde guarded the outskirts of Nanjing, which affected the life and death of Nanjing people and hundreds of thousands of defenders. It is of great significance to Nanjing. I hope you will repay your kindness and serve the country.

Nation! We must not allow the Japanese army to easily occupy Nanjing and fight to the last soldier or death."

The emotions of the officers and soldiers were aroused, and Liu Tianchu's impassioned speech infected every subordinate. The brigade commander Jiang Hui'an, who had always shrunk when encountering difficulties, stood up first and said, "Master, I have been in a state of confusion for thirty years."

In the past few years, the country has been lost and the Japanese invaders are rampant! As soon as the Sichuan army left Sichuan to serve the country, they were ready to serve the country and be benevolent. Their determination is iron-clad! Sichuan people may lose their lives, but they must not lose their pride. Even if they face a

A fierce battle, but I, Jiang Hui'an, swear to live and die with you and Nanjing!" Jiang Hui'an threw a water bowl on the ground with her backhand, and the water bowl was smashed into pieces. "If Jiang Hui'an lives in vain, the water bowl is my oath."...

Chu Tianbang also stood up. "Master, I'm a rough man and don't know Brigadier Jiang's vocabulary, but I admire Master so much. Tianbang has made mistakes many times, Master doesn't care, so he just rushed here,

My life, Chu Tianbang, belongs to you. If you say go east, I will never go west."

The officers expressed their attitude one after another, and the regiment commander Kang Heizi also said: "I! Kang Zhiqiang, I have been in the army for four years and have devoted myself to the company commander. Now I am appreciated by the commander. I am determined to lead the troops. Although I face strong enemies, it is not enough for me."

Afraid that a soldier will die for his confidant, Kang Heizi is willing to lead the army and vows to be with Nanjing."

Liu Tianchu nodded slightly, and felt a little comfort in his heart. He raised his head and raised his arms and said loudly: "With you and other people who share our lofty ideals in life and death, there is no need to fear death. Standing in the wind in the cold or starving to death without bowing your head. Only with such pride can we show that we are the mighty master of Bashu.

My master swears to live and die with Nanjing, and will not retreat as long as there are survivors." Liu Tianchu raised his arms and shouted again. "Nanjing was bloody, and the Sichuan army rose."

"The Sichuan Army is rising! Bloody Nanjing! The Sichuan Army is rising..." The officers and soldiers of the whole division looked up to the sky and roared. In front of the Wulong Mountain position, the shouts of the Sichuan Army's rising echoed on the river and in the mountains for a long time.

After taking the oath at Wulong Mountain, Liu Tianchu decisively ordered the regiments of the 133rd Division to take over the retreating positions of the Nationalist Army. He also energized Liu Xiang to guard the Guangde, Langxi, Lishui, and Liyang lines to intercept the return of the Japanese troops who had already arrived at the gates of Nanjing.

Withdrew from the retreat and quickly came to Nanjing to command the overall situation. At the same time, he ordered the 793rd Regiment to assemble quickly and march straight into Xiaguan, Nanjing. Before leaving, Liu Tianchu said to Jiang Hui'an, who only had two regiments holding on to Wulong Mountain: "Regiment seat, Wulong."

The mountain fortress is not only related to the danger of Nanjing, but it is also the only barrier for our division to retreat across the river. No matter what, Wulong Mountain cannot be lost to the enemy."

Jiang Hui'an looked resolute. "I have already expressed my intention and vowed to live and die together on the battlefield."

Jiang Hui'an looked resolute, and Liu Tianchu looked at him silently without saying a word. After turning around and saluting, he led the 793rd Regiment to gallop towards Nanjing. On the way, Ronghua came to report that Commander-in-Chief Liu Xiang had informed you that you had sworn in at Wulong Mountain and sent his 146th Division to the front.

To support Tennoji, he himself was on his way to Nanjing.

Liu Xiang finally agreed with his idea, and Liu Tianchu felt a little relieved that his uncle had been tied to him. At this time, Liu Ling sent another urgent message that the new regiment had arrived outside Nanjing, please give instructions on the next step. Liu Tianchu will return immediately

Order, the new regiment goes to Xiaguan to assemble.

Nanjing's more than 100,000-strong garrison collapsed, and most of the troops fled to Xiaguan. Why? Because the corps commanders and division commanders all knew that there were ships they secretly kept there! So they all retreated to Xiaguan. The subordinates heard that their superiors were going to Xiaguan.

After going there, they naturally followed. In this way, tens of thousands of national troops and countless people flocked to Xiaguan. However, the 36th Division at Yijiangmen did not let the troops pass because according to the plan, only the chiefs were retreating from Xiaguan.

The troops and the 36th Division. Then a gun battle broke out, and the troops were mixed together. Finally, they were rushed through the Yijiang Gate by the crowd, but there were several layers of corpses on the ground!

On the streets of Nanjing leading to Xiaguan, Tianbang and Kang Heizi ran beside Liu Tianchu in a daze. They didn't know what his purpose was as he galloped to Xiaguan. The two of them were in tandem, just like Zhang Bao in front of the horse and Wang Heng behind the horse.

On Zhongshan Road, the most prosperous street in Nanjing, the women of Chunxiang Tower, Nanjing’s largest fireworks venue, were still posing in the face of Japanese artillery fire and aircraft bombings. This scene made Liu Tianchu unable to help but think of Du Mu’s poem: Business women don’t know the hatred of the country’s subjugation, but they still sing across the river.

Flowers in the backyard. At this time, the people upstairs were still greeting: "Master Jun! Come up and play!"

Tianbang, who had never seen much of the world, asked Liu Tianchu in a fog, "Batalion Commander, what are they doing?"

Liu Tianchu took one look and said: "Women are not allowed to be inferior to men. They still know how to show off after being shot like this. If I recruit them to carry guns, I'm afraid they will be better than you all."

Ronghua, who was not sure what was going on next to him, asked, "Who is it?"

Liu Tianchu waved his hand and pointed at Chunxiang Tower: "They."

"Who is it?!" Ronghua, who was running, didn't hear clearly. He only understood it by following his fingers, so he took a moment to curse, "Rogue!"...

Liu Tianchu glanced at her with a smirk on his face.

Rong Hua, who was usually as cold as ice, whispered uncharacteristically: "Don't rush too far. That would be unworthy of our brothers."

"I know, I know." Liu Tianchu responded carelessly. After gratefully returning an ambiguous smile, he stared at the vanguard with all his attention, as if the latecomers would take over.

Liu Tianchu took the lead and arrived at Xiaguan. At this time, the two openings on the left and right of Yijiang Gate were blocked, and only the middle one was passable. The ministries rushed to get through first and refused to give in. Many people were trampled to death due to the crowding. Some generals saw the city.

If you couldn't squeeze through the door, you ordered the soldiers from the east side of the door to hang up with leggings and leave the city.

The situation at the ferry was even more chaotic. Tens of thousands of troops had lost their numbers and each was scrambling to get across. Due to the small number of boats and the large number of people, some boats sank due to overloading. Most of the officers and soldiers had no boats to take, so they took apart door panels and other items to make them.

Crossing the river on rafts, some of them lost their lives due to the rough water and poor control.

Liu Tianchu came with the 793rd Regiment. Liu Ling and Xizai were already waiting anxiously. They didn't understand why Liu Tianchu wanted to gather the new regiment in Xiaguan. When they saw Liu Tianchu and others coming, they hurriedly greeted them. "Master's seat, six.

The new regiment has been assembled and is waiting for your next instruction."

Liu Tianchu put the escaped helmet on his head again, and then he tightened the belt and asked: "Is anyone running away?"
