Chapter 1435 One Man Guards a City (Thanks to Book Friend Jie for the Reward!)

The telegram was sent by the Shenjiying, and the content was very simple.

In the previous battle, although the 16th Division was destroyed by the Army Aviation of the Central China Front Army, it quickly replenished its troops for the sake of face.

The key point is that in order to avenge its grievances, the 16th Division's offensive was very fierce.

Under the attack of the 16th Division, the positions in the Zhongshan Gate area were breached.

The 33rd and 38th Regiments of the 16th Division rushed to the front in the form of a forced march.

At present, these two regiments have rushed to the Xiaguan River.

The most important thing is that they are also thinking about shooting as many Chinese soldiers and civilians who are retreating along the pontoon bridge as possible.

Of course, occupying this pontoon bridge and destroying it, thereby cutting off the retreat of the Chinese soldiers and civilians, is also their strategic goal.

In the tense retreat, after noticing these two devil troops, the general command headquarters of the city defense was furious.

Under the arrangement of Commander-in-Chief Tang Shengzhi, the 36th Division and the Military Police are desperately blocking the two Japanese regiments.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the Shenji Battalion also allocated a part of its troops and consciously joined the blocking camp.

Unfortunately, the battle situation is very bad.

If nothing unexpected happens, this floating bridge will be occupied and destroyed by the two Japanese regiments!

Obviously, this telegram from the Shenji Battalion is actually a telegram for help.

Tang Zhengyang and Miao Tengfei meant to let Ye Tian lead his troops here immediately to participate in the blocking of the two Japanese regiments, so as to rescue more Chinese soldiers and civilians.

The strength of these two Japanese regiments reached 7,600 people.

If you want to compete with them, China will have to send out at least 40,000 people.

Unfortunately, before the Battle of Nanjing began, the total strength of the Chinese city defense force was just over 100,000.

Now, it is time for a strategic retreat, because in each battle, the Chinese side suffered heavy casualties, and the total number of troops may not be 50,000.

Therefore, Tang Shengzhi absolutely cannot organize so many troops.

There is no way. Knowing that they are not the opponents of these two Japanese regiments, in order to speed up the retreat, Tang Shengzhi had to order the 36th Division and the military police to stop the enemy.

Yes, we can't let the whole army stop retreating and stop the Japanese, right?

To put it bluntly, if we really do this, it is still unclear whether we can stop these Japanese. If we are not careful, the Japanese army will chase us.

In this way, the whole army will definitely be wiped out!

Arrange the 36th Division and the military police to stay behind and let them act as a death squad. This is a helpless way.

It's time to make a choice!

Looking at this telegram with his eyes wide open, Ye Tian fell into a dilemma.

If he continues to fight the Japanese and puppet coalition forces on the front line, although he can kill many enemies, many of his own people will be killed and injured in the rear.

What to do?

Looking at the positions that were struggling to hold on, Ye Tian gritted his teeth, drank another large bowl of Tianmu Shenlu, and ran quickly to Xiaguan.

Since the remaining troops behind have played the role of the death squad, and since they are ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, respect their choice.

The place where I am most needed is still this Xiaguan position.

After all, in addition to these two Japanese regiments, there are other Japanese troops, who are rushing here like crazy along other roads.

These two Japanese regiments alone are very difficult for the Chinese troops.

If more Japanese reinforcements come, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Once this happens, not to mention hundreds of thousands of civilians, at least hundreds of thousands of civilians will be massacred!

With this thought, Ye Tian speeded up again and again.

Ten minutes later, Ye Tian came to the Xiaguan area again.

To be precise, Ye Tian came to the rear of the 33rd and 38th Regiments of the 16th Division.

At the sight, these more than 7,000 devils were rushing forward like crazy.

Let's take a look at the 36th Division and the military police force responsible for blocking. The situation was not ordinary passive.

Guns and cannons rang out, and soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The situation was so passive, but the national crisis was at its head, and none of the soldiers retreated.

Just sprinting to this area, without time to observe the battle situation carefully, Ye Tian immediately entered the role.

With a thought, all the dead soldiers came to the outside world again.

Considering that these more than 7,000 devils were distributed over a large area, if they used unscrupulous cannons, they would definitely not be able to cover them all. Ye Tian asked the dead soldiers to operate the quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Da Da Da..."

In an instant, more than 200 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns frequently rained bullets on these devils.

The attack was going smoothly, but suddenly it was hit by super firepower from behind, and the devils fell in groups.

Even their tanks that could bully the 36th Division and the Military Police were riddled with holes.

What made Ye Tian happy was that his side had just taken action and immediately achieved the effect of turning the tide.

The Japanese were not stupid. After realizing that a strong enemy was coming from the rear, they immediately gave up the charge against the 36th Division and the Military Police, and turned around to launch a counterattack against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

In this situation, realizing that these Japanese had a lot of Type 92 infantry guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, Ye Tian did not dare to neglect it.

"Brothers, destroy their Type 92 infantry guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns first!"

In fact, without Ye Tian's order, the dead soldiers were busy operating these first.

In fact, most of these Type 92 infantry guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns were shot down before they turned around.

Some of the quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns were busy shooting down these targets, while the rest were shooting at the Japanese infantry with all their strength.

Then, a scene that shocked Ye Tian appeared.

Ye Tian was shocked to see that the situation was one-sided, and the Japanese were actually committing suicide charges.

There was a white strip tied on their foreheads.

And their faces were not ordinary ugly.

They were screaming and rushing to the back like crazy.

"Stupid!"

In this situation, Ye Tian curled his lips and swore frequently.

At the same time, like the dead soldiers, Ye Tian continued to shoot the Japanese who were committing suicide charges.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was happily shooting the Japanese, while on the other side, hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians continued to retreat quickly.

Feeling that it was almost time, after notifying the 36th Division and the military police to start retreating, Tang Shengzhi sent a fiercely worded telegram to Ye Tian.

"General Ye, in about an hour, most of the soldiers and civilians who are willing to retreat to the rear will have withdrawn.

Here, I, Tang Shengzhi, order General Ye to lead the troops to retreat immediately!!"

Tang Shengzhi's suggestion was obviously well-intentioned, but Ye Tian did not listen.

"General Tang, you guys hurry up and retreat.

As for me, I'll talk to you in a few days!"
