Chapter 67: Extraordinary Meeting

In Guanghua Gate, in a small courtyard next to the city wall, the front of the 87th Division is located here. △¢

"Hey, hey, okay, okay, I'll report to the deputy teacher immediately!"

"Where are you? The 523rd regiment, how many single medicines are needed, 50,000 bullets, 3,000 grenades..."

"There can only be 30,000 bullets and 500 grenades!" Cheng Yiding interrupted the communication staff's words and ordered directly.

"Okay, yes, yes..."

"Associate, everyone has expired, you can have a meeting!" Cheng Yiding's adjutant walked in and whispered in his ear.

"Well, I understand, wait a moment." Cheng Yiding nodded, reached out to tidy up his clothes, buckled the Fengji buckle, and then put on a small round hat.

"Let's go."

The front refers to the small conference room, and the meeting is full of people. At least one is a lieutenant colonel, Leng Feng and the young major. He is the last one to arrive. He has no seat and can only stand at the door.

Leng Feng is definitely the youngest among these people. The others have somehow fought together, and they are all familiar with each other and greet each other.

When he saw Leng Feng and Qin Yankun come in together, he thought he was Qin Yankun’s subordinate staff officer and other innocent faces, so he ignored them directly.

Leng Feng didn't care. He was here to hold a meeting, not to be a part of the show. It was no difference whether anyone would take care of him or not. Standing or sitting.

Amid the discussion, some people were still there yesterday, but no longer here today.

People's hearts are already floating. Leng Feng can see from the conversations of these officers that many of these people have been shaken about whether Nanjing can be defended and how long it will take.

This whispering discussion didn't last long.

"Deputy Master Chen is here!"

Cheng Yiding, deputy commander of the 87th Division, has the rank of major general, the direct line of the Central Army, and one of the three elite German divisions in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek.

After the Battle of Songhu, the 87th Division had more than 14,000 people, and only less than 3,000 people were left here, with a loss of more than 80%.

Cheng Yiding actually listened to the discussions outside the door for a while, and Leng Feng, who was standing at the door, naturally saw all this.

But he did not make a reminder, but secretly gave Qin Yankun an arm. Qin Yankun was also a smart person, and immediately understood and became a quiet listener.

The small conference room suddenly became quiet.

Cheng Yiding was a tiger general in the Central Army and his direct disciple. During the battle of the outside world in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek personally summoned him to give him a message in person.

At that time, Cheng Yiding had just been promoted to the deputy commander of the 87th Division.

"Everyone has arrived. Some things Chen has to deal with. I'm a step late and I'm neglected." Cheng Yiding walked into the small conference room. Because there were too many people, he followed an adjutant and the guards were staying outside the door.

"You're welcome, you're welcome..."

"Deputy Secretary Chen, if you have anything to do, just tell me. The Japanese army may attack at any time. We can all go back to take charge of the command!"

"Okay, then Mr. Chen is not polite!" Cheng Yiding sat down without hesitation.

"Take the opportunity of the Japanese army being defeated this time, I summoned everyone to unify their thoughts. How can we fight next?" Cheng Yiding said straight to the point.

"According to the information we have obtained, the key defense lines of the Japanese attack were Guanghua Gate, Tongji Gate and Zhonghua Gate. They used a comprehensive push tactic. As long as a hole was torn open, the large army would suddenly press up, which was extremely fierce!" Cheng Yiding's adjutant spoke first with a signal.

"Our current tactic is to strictly guard against the dead, adopting a segmented and fragmented approach, nailing it to the position tightly, so that the Japanese army can take advantage of the opportunity, but this is a very conservative way of fighting. Moreover, our troops are constantly being consumed, without the replenishment of troops, and there is not much ammunition. If this continues, it will be impossible to defend sooner or later."

"There is news that the Japanese army broke through the front several times on the China Gate and are currently fighting for the second-tier positions. Once the Japanese army occupy Yuhuatai and are below zero, the Japanese army's firepower is strong and it will be a firepower suppression on our army. It will be a matter of time before this city breaks down!" Someone said pessimistically.

"Yes, if Master 88 can't stand it, what's the use of us to guard Guanghua Sect?"

"If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the city breaks down."

"My group has been crippled. If I don't rest, I can't beat it at all..." I started to complain.

"Since Nanjing City cannot be kept, why should we let us die here?"

"Everyone has forgotten what they are, right?" A lieutenant colonel deputy from the 87th Division stood up and scolded him angrily.

"Deputy Commander Bai, we didn't say we didn't fight, but the key is that we are now hitting the stone with eggs, and we know we can't win..."

"Enough, we are soldiers, and soldiers should defend our country. We cannot be like ordinary people. We can seek profit and avoid harm, and we can bargain. We order us to guard Guanghua Gate and defend our position. This is my mission. If anyone escapes at the last minute, don't blame me, Chen, for being ruthless and military law to deal with it." Cheng Yiding said angrily.

The air in the conference room solidifies.

Everyone could feel the awe-inspiring murderous aura emitted from Cheng Yiding. This was definitely not a joke. If he really violated military law, he would kill people without hesitation.

"Deputy Master Chen, how do you think we will fight?"

"First of all, you all go back and take out your family's assets to see what else. Then, write all the suicide notes for me and hand them over to me. Even if you sacrifice, you can give your family an explanation." Cheng Yiding's eyes slowly swept over the generals and school and said slowly.

Since joining the War of Resistance Against Japan, I have written the suicide note several times, but this is not difficult to achieve. The problem is to take out the money. If you have a clear understanding of this, then forget it. I am afraid that it will be taken out and distributed to you.

This makes me feel a little unhappy.

It doesn’t matter if you are poor, but it’s hard to say if you have some family background.

When has it been? These people still plotted against them. When the Japanese army came in, can they still take them away?

"I don't want your things, and I don't like your things either. I'm telling everyone to prepare for street fighting with the Japanese army." Cheng Yiding expressed his real intention.

street fighting!

Some people showed a hint of panic on their faces. The terrible part of street fighting was that the two sides were stirred up together, the enemy and us were connected, the close fighting, and the probability of survival of soldiers and officers was the same.

The narrow streets, complex environments, invisible enemies, and invisible bullets that kill people, are full of weirdness and unpredictability.

A skilled military strategist may not be able to fight street fighting well, while Leng Feng is very familiar with this war model and is still an expert in this field.

Among these people, Leng Feng probably hasn't fought a real street battle. Real street battle is extremely cruel and requires great courage and willpower to support it. When there is nothing, he can still fight against the enemy.

This is by no means something that ordinary people can do.

Cheng Yiding was able to realize that he might have to engage in street fighting with the Japanese army, which shows that he was a real anti-Japanese war and a qualified commander.

"I don't say anything anymore. Can you just shout a slogan for the War of Resistance and Saving the Country?" Cheng Yiding swept his tiger eyes and asked.

This was so heartbroken that the faces of several people who had other plans in their minds changed a little.

"Deputy Secretary Chen, it's not that we don't defend the city, nor that we don't fight the Japanese devils. We have been fighting until now, and there are heavy casualties. I will stick to it. Even if I put my head on, I will have no regrets. How long may it last, one or two days, it's hard to say!" Zhou Jingren, the commander of the Second Gendarmerie Regiment, stood up and said.

The Chief of Staff of the 156th Division stood up and said, "Our division is not here, I am the representative. Commander Zhou is right. We Guangdong people are not afraid of death when fighting. As long as we order the top and the street fighting, we will never retreat."

There are six regiments of the 87th Division, with only two brigades and four regiments here, and the leaders at the regiment level and above are also here. Since the death of Brigade Commander Yi'anhua, the command of the 259th Brigade has been brought to Cheng Yiding.

There are four troops on the Guanghuamen front line, with the 87th Division the largest number of troops, followed by the 156th Division, followed by the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps, and the Second Regiment of the Gendarmerie Regiment at the bottom.

Four troops take turns to be replaced, so that one unit can come down to rest or serve as a reserve for the entire army, and can be used as a rescue team at any time.

Just now, the 87th Division was rotated to rest by the 156th Division, which led to the scene where the Big Sword Brave Team supported the gap and put out the fire.

But when such troops are used, there is always a moment of exhaustion. The Japanese army continues to advance to the city, and they can launch fierce attacks without briefly launching.

The defenders were already very tired. The Japanese army wanted to use this tactic to exhaust them, and then break through to the city, and fight to the goal of defeating them.

"Our brigade is not here. Before he left, he asked us to follow the command of Deputy Master Cheng. The entire brigade of our 259th Brigade obeyed the orders of Deputy Master Cheng!" Luo Zhedong, deputy commander of the 259th Brigade, stood up with red eyes and said strongly.

Obviously, consensus has been established within the 87th Division.

The 87th Division was the first Central Army to be equipped with German equipment, and Lao Chiang’s direct subordinate. If he could not do this, it would be embarrassing.

Here, except for the 156th Division, which is a local army, the others are considered central factions. The Gendarmerie is affiliated to the Capital Security Command, and of course they must belong to the central department.

Not to mention the teaching corps, Lao Jiang’s heart belongs to the seed troops.

The chief of staff of the 156th Division looked a little bad. This was clearly targeting local troops like them, and they were bound to be tied up onto the chariot.

In fact, Cheng Yiding is not selfish, it is just everyone's understanding, not to mention that the Guangdong faction has always been incompatible with the central faction.

This gap cannot be eliminated by a slogan of "resisting the country by war of resistance and saving the country".

Leng Feng felt a lot of emotion. Sometimes it was really not that the generals could not command, but the problem was still at the top.

Of course, this is related to Chiang Kai-shek's employment. If he doesn't have a big picture and great courage, he will not be able to become a leader of a great country.

A talented person must be unconventional and has a distinct personality. Leng Feng is also thinking about where his path will go?

"Are the representatives of the teaching corps coming?"

Everyone looked at Qin Yankun with a gaze. Even Cheng Yiding also turned his attention. The performance of the teaching corps in the battle to defend the city is obvious to all. Moreover, in Nanjing, the teaching corps is the strongest among the city guarding troops.

Therefore, Cheng Yiding also attaches great importance to the attitude of the teaching team.

"Leng Dai Group, is it time for us to speak?" Qin Yankun gently pushed Leng Feng behind him and whispered.

"Huh?" Leng Feng never thought about speaking. So many generals and schools were older and older than him. Moreover, it was the first time he had attended a meeting of this level. He had not recognized the heads and did not know much about the situation. What did he say?

However, he is now the acting leader of the Second Regiment of the Teaching Corps. Since he has come, he must not speak out. Otherwise, what he lost is not his face alone, but the face of the entire Teaching Corps.

After sorting out his clues a little, Leng Feng took a step forward, his legs were closed together, and a military salute was saluted with a "splash"!

"Leng Feng, the acting leader of the 1st Brigade 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps, see the deputy division chief and all the commanders!"
