The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, dragons and tigers lie in the south of the Yangtze River, Qinhuai, Zhongshan - Jiangnan is beautiful and handsome. It has been a symbol of the prosperity of the Chinese nation since ancient times.

In 1937, the suffering and shame of the nation were recorded here. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers put down their weapons and were killed like dogs; 300,000 unarmed compatriots, 300,000 men and women, age and age, were killed on both sides of the Yangtze River. Tens of thousands of women were raped. The brutal laughter of the invaders echoed in this city burning humiliation.

"No matter how Ruhe can't let this history repeat itself." Zhuang Jihua recalled the citizens he saw along the way, who were a little panicked and sad and angry.

"The Cultural Revolution. Nanjing was not Niu Xing. The Japanese army was not a coalition force of the five provinces." Bai Chongxi said coldly. The Niu Xing War. Zhuang Jihua became famous in one fell swoop. He was known as the two great defenders of the southern Zhuang and northern Fu of the Republic of China. Today, Bai Chongxi did not recognize that Zhuang Jihua could defend Nanjing.

"In my opinion, the possibility of defending Beijing is small, but not without it." Zhuang Jihua was not sure. He had a draft. Although it was not detailed, the general plan was already available: "Southern line. General Sun Zhen had led the 122 Wang Mingzhang's troops and the 145th Division Rao Guohua's troops to Guangde by land; I believe that with their support, the 74th Army and the 10th Army could defend Guangde. As long as Guangde is in our hands, the Japanese army on the southern line would not dare to attack Nanjing with their main force. The rest were the Japanese troops coming from Shanghai. I planned to trample their retreat. Colonel Song Yunfei had led the special operations troops to the area on the north bank of Taihu Lake. Their mission was to attack their supplies behind the Japanese army and disrupt their logistics supply."

"I also have more than 60,000 people from four divisions. This is the best equipment I trained in the country. In addition to tanks and aircraft, I have some equipment for the Japanese army."

"In the end, if Guangde is in my hands, I can retreat to Wuhu at any time; if Guangde is not in my hands, I can set up three pontoon bridges at Xiaguan to transport supplies and withdraw the wounded. This way, you can attack. You can retreat and defend; if you can fight, you can fight. If you can fight, you can't kill. We are invincible."

Zhuang Jihua poured out his initial conception and looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi. The meaning was to ask them to judge.

"Three pontoon bridges? Japanese aircraft allow your pontoon bridge to exist? Where is the Japanese Navy?" Liu Chong said.

"Although the Yangtze River is wide, the Japanese battleship heavy cruisers cannot drive to Nanjing to participate in the battle, at most light cruisers and destroyers; I can set up heavy cruisers and destroyers on the north bank of the Yangtze River. There are also heavy artillery arrays in Nanjing." Zhuang Jihua explained: "The British navy has something to say. Fighting with the artillery is a madman's behavior; gang-sexing with artillery in the inland river is also a madman's behavior."

"As for the Air Force, we also have. It has been three weeks since the 50 P0s from the United States that have been training pilots in Kunming Leyiqin in Kunming. The Air Force will be able to recover its strength soon."

There seems to be no difficulties in Zhuang Jihua's words. But in fact, he is cheering himself up, especially the Navy and Air Force. The strength of the Air Force cannot be restored so quickly. Among them, the radar station will not be restored so quickly.

It is impossible to fully monitor the sky in Nanjing by relying on a few radar stations in Jiangbei.

When Zhuang Jihua mentioned that Sun Zhen led his troops to Guangde, Bai Chongxi's eyes were solemn. His brain was turning at high speed. After the film was calculated, he did not refuse to admit that if Sun Zhen could defend Guangde, then Nanjing would be much less dangerous. At least there would be a way out.

"Where is Sun Zhen now?"

"122 has arrived in Guangde for 145. At most, there is one day left to Guangdesun's military command and direct troops to Xuancheng. They have plenty of time to build a formation." Zhuang Jihua felt proud that the expectations of the Japanese army were almost completely correct. The arrangements made from this have completely worked.

"I'm afraid there's not much time." Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Yesterday, the Japanese army had already broken through the Nanxun defense line and was approaching Wuxing. The 74th Army can defend at most one day."

Zhuang Jihua's heart skipped a beat. The Japanese army was moving so fast. Liu Ran had an idea: "Chairman. The 122nd Division should go to Wuxing to reinforce. In this way, it can block the Japanese army in Wuxing."

"Go to Wuxing?" Zhuang Jihua instantly thought: "You can't go to Wuxing. Going to Wuxing is a hurry to fight. You are fighting prepared in Guangde. You have to have a greater grasp of victory. Besides, you have to walk from Guangde to Xing for at least one day. When they arrive, Wuxing has been lost and has become a hurry to fight."

Zhuang Jihua's analysis came to Bai Chongxi's support: "It is not advisable to go to Wuxing. It is feasible to fight Guangde. The only concern is that the Japanese army has two divisions on the southern front. The troops are strong. If Guangde is not taken, the Japanese army will meet with the Japanese army on the northern route through Yixing and attack around Yang. They can also encircle Nanjing and cut off your retreat."

"If this is the case, then we may win a big and small victory on the southern line." Zhuang Jihua thought, "The Seventy-fourth and the 10th Army also retreated to Guangde. General Bai has such a large force in Guangde. Can the Japanese army go north with confidence? I don't think they dare. If they really dare, they dare.

| Go north. Then we will launch a counterattack on the southern line and strive to be able to annihilate one of its numbers."

Bai Chongxi and Zhuang Jihua were all people who had broken up pictures near Nanjing. They knew the shapes nearby. They could tell the key points that were not used at all.

"I can set up obstacles in Shuihe|ling Pass to gradually consume the strength of the Japanese army; to the east, I can use the Wulong Mountain Fortress at the Qixia Mountain in Tangshan, Chunhua to be the outer obstacles. Gaoqiaomen Qinglong Mountain Baishui Bridge Zijiyaohua Gate as the second defense line; Nanjing city gates are the last defense line. If they are broken through, you can also fight street battles."

Listening to Zhuang Jihua thinking and talking, Chiang Kai-shek was so happy. Zhuang Jihua was so impulsive that he came out. Now facing Bai Chongxi, he was unable to use his urgent wisdom. Three lines of defense. Not to mention other things, just say strength. Is there so much?

But Zhuang Jihua doesn't care about it now. He just wants to grab the task of guarding Nanjing. I will talk about other things later. But Bai Chongxi keenly discovered this problem.

"You only have four divisions of new forces. Can you have so many troops setting up three lines of defense?"

"The troops can be resolved through allocation." Zhuang Jihua began to argue. He turned to Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, students have several conditions to guard Nanjing. Please agree to me."

"When you say it." Chiang Kai-shek nodded. Let's not talk about a few more: - even if there are hundreds of conditions, he agreed. The candidate for the Nanjing garrison has been discussed several times. He originally hoped that Bai Chongxi could come out and take on this important task. But Bai Chongxi firmly opposed defending Nanjing. Then he asked Chen Cheng again. Chen Cheng also opposed it. He believed that the battle of Song made the troops very hard and could not bear to fight again. It would be better to give up Nanjing. Then he asked Xu Chang, He Jian and Liu Fei. No one dared to agree; he had to put his mind on Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua did not disappoint him today. Just a wink. He understood what he wanted him to do.

"First of all, the troops in Nanjing, no matter where they come from, must obey my command, including the Air Force Navy and Military Military Police; second, the Nanjing defenders do not have my own handwritten orders, and those who retreat to the rear will run away without authorization. No matter who they are, they will be shot; third, Nanjing will become a battlefield, and the citizens will be evacuated immediately; fourth, I came along the way. The Nanjing market is very chaotic. I asked for the declaration of martial law in Nanjing; fifth, the Beijing Municipal Government is also under my command; I need their help.

Helping to evacuate citizens; Sixth. I heard that there was a group of criminal officers in the school of military reflection. I asked the principal to give a pardon and supplement it to the army; Seventh. During the Nanjing war, the principal asked me to give orders directly. Some Huangpu classmates were favored and arrogant. They often asked the principal to ask the principal to ask them to find me directly." Zhuang Jihua said seven things in a row. Each one was important, especially the last one. Chiang Kai-shek often asked the commander of the war zone to be very passive.

"This is natural. People are doubtful. They are not doubtful about using people. They are established. The Nanjing Garrison Command will be appointed as the garrison commander. The Cultural Revolution will be the Cultural Revolution. You will immediately form the headquarters. After completion, I will officially announce that you are the commander and command all the troops in the southern district, including the 74th Army and the 10th Group on the southern line, as well as the air force and navy participating in the war in Nanjing." Chiang Kai-shek stood up and his expression was very serious: "Everyone. The Nanjing Guard War is a battle of dignity in our country. It is also a part of the Chinese and foreign appearance. You. The National Government moved the capital to Chongqing. When the Military Commission was moved to Wuhan, Chief of Staff He went to Wuhan tomorrow to preside over the work of the base camp." Chiang Kai-shek said that he looked at Zhuang Ji: "How long does it take to organize the headquarters?"

"The principal, time is rushed. Work must be carried out immediately. So I want to transform the Forty-Nine Group Army into the Nanjing Garrison Command. General Baili served as deputy commander. Fu Chang served as chief of staff. In addition, Mayor Yang and Commander Gu were added." Zhuang Jihua thought for a moment and came up with his solution.

Yang Yongtai is the special mayor of Nanjing. Gu Zhenglun is the commander of the military police. He controls the government affairs and military police forces in Nanjing. The former is crucial to the scattered citizens. The latter is crucial to maintaining order in Nanjing.

Chiang Kai-shek immediately agreed but added Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the 15th Army, as deputy commander. Yang Yongtai and Gu Zhenglun were allowed to join the garrison headquarters. The order was immediately drafted. Bu Zhuang Jihua became the commander of Nanjing Guard. Later, Jieshi issued a series of promotion orders. Song Xi was promoted to commander of the 78th Army. Wang Jingjiu was promoted to commander of the 72nd Army. Feng Shengfa was promoted to commander of the 71st Army. Hu Zongnan was promoted to commander of the 17th Army.

Although the official was promoted, the troops were still there. There was no time to replenish them, and there was no time to deploy them. Like Song Xi's 78th Army, there was only a 36th Division under his command.

None of the generals present expressed their objections. Promote now and can cheer up | the morale that declined due to defeat in the front.
