The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Yang Ling looked up at the sky, and saw that the Chinese plane painted with the blue sky and white sun flag was also flying into the sky, and it was strangling with the plane of the devil soldiers at the moment.

Dozens of planes were fighting each other in the sky, rolling up and down, like a flock of crows under the hazy sky. Watching the thrilling scene, the soldiers watching the battle on the ground were terrified, shouting to cheer for their own planes, every time they saw A Devil plane fell with smoke, and there was a huge cheer.

The roar of the plane's engine echoed in the cold wind, and the members of the Fourth Flying Battalion led by the hero of the Chinese Air Force Gao Zhihang fought bloody battles with the invading Devil plane formation at high altitude.

And this time, the Kisarazu Brigade was the attacking aircraft. They are old rivals. In the early battles in Shanghai, the Kisarazu Brigade was almost wiped out by the [-]th Chinese Aviation Brigade. This time they were angry with revenge. came.

The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet each other. The pilots of the Chinese Air Force are not afraid of powerful enemies, dare to fight, and bravely meet the devil's plane. Can't see who's who.

Soon more than a dozen planes flew from the direction of Nanjing to join the battle group. They were volunteer pilots from the Soviet Union to aid China. They fought side by side with the Chinese pilots and defeated the Japanese Kisarazu brigade.

"Our plane has fallen, hurry up and save people." Soldiers watching the battle on the ground found that the plane painted with the blue sky and white sun flag was falling with smoke, and rushed towards the crash site.

The plane landed in the farmland outside the residential area. They rescued the pilot from the fire, but they did not have time to parachute after falling from such a height. The Devil Plane in the sky gritted its teeth in hatred, cursing the Devil Plane for refueling its own side.

The Chinese pilots were also particularly upbeat. After half an hour of fierce fighting, the Kisarazu Battalion gradually became exhausted, and quickly retreated and fled to the distance. This time, the Chinese Air Force beat the devils away. Hurry up.

Text Chapter 265 Commander's Department

In the early winter of Nanjing, everything inside and outside the city was filled with depression and a murderous atmosphere. The Japanese army in Central China was divided into five groups and marched aggressively day and night.

Tang Shengzhi's Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department was set up in his Baiziting mansion. The formerly quiet mansion is now covered with trenches and barbed wire, and guards with guns are even more densely packed, creating a wartime atmosphere.

woo woo woo woo--

The stern air raid siren resounded over Nanjing, and the enemy plane struck again. Tang Shengzhi, the garrison commander in the commander's headquarters, was sipping a cup of tea to relieve the pressure on his shoulders. Hearing the stern siren, he couldn't help but endure He couldn't stop slamming the teacup on the table heavily, and the hot tea spilled out immediately.

"Call the airport! Let them beat the little devil's plane!" Tang Shengzhi shouted angrily at the staff officers.

Some staff officers rushed to the telephone to call the airport, and some staff officers rushed to Tang Shengzhi and said, "Mr. Tang, go to the air-raid shelter and hide."

Before the staff officer could finish his words, there was a bomb explosion in the courtyard. The air waves from the explosion shattered the glass in the room, and the items on the table were flying in the air.

"Hurry up and cover Chief Tang into the air-raid shelter!" A staff officer dragged Tang Shengzhi and ran to the air-raid shelter.

Tang Shengzhi's expression remained unchanged, he shook off the staff's pull, and asked sharply, "What are you panicking about!"

In the gap between the conversations, the bombs of the Devil's plane fell one after another near the Tang mansion, and the four or five anti-aircraft guns placed nearby also opened fire.

Liu Xing, the deputy commander of the garrison, also rushed into the house in disgrace, and said to Tang Shengzhi, "Mr. Tang, our office may be discovered, so we should move quickly."

Liu Xing was originally the commander of the Jiangfang Group Army. He was an old subordinate of Tang Shengzhi for many years. As far back as 1916 when Tang Shengzhi was the battalion commander of the Hunan Governor, Liu Xing was his company commander. The deputy can be regarded as working together again.

After hearing what Liu Xing said, Tang Shengzhi heard the sound of explosions outside and ordered: "I can't just move out of this house because of the Japanese bombs. It's fine for Luo Zhuoying and Liu Xing, two officers, to stay here with me." , the rest of you go to work in the underground of the Ministry of Railways, it’s spacious there.”

Tang Shengzhi was stubbornly unwilling to leave the mansion, Liu Xing was also helpless, and waved the rest of the staff to evacuate, while he and Tang Shengzhi stayed and continued to command the battle.

Waves of Devil planes flew to Nanjing and bombed it indiscriminately. Many exquisite buildings collapsed into a pile of ruins in the explosion. Thick smoke billowed in the city, and many places caught fire.

The pilots of the Chinese Air Force have been fighting fiercely for several days without getting any rest, but they still took off to meet the enemy according to the order. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Devil plane retreated again.

"What kind of battle is this?" Tang Shengzhi saw the thick smoke billowing outside through the broken window, and threw off his hat angrily.

"Mr. Tang, our pilots have tried their best. They are almost risking their lives these days." Liu Xing sighed helplessly.

This situation made Tang Shengzhi sigh and feel desolate. Today, using the isolated city of Nanjing to fight against the ferocious Japanese army is like hitting a stone with an egg. Everyone is overwhelmed. Who wants to stay in Nanjing? The leader put this burden on him and let him It is also extremely helpless.

"How's the situation on the front line?"

Tang Shengzhi knew that although the isolated city was difficult to defend, it was the capital. If they didn't defend it, they would throw it away. They couldn't explain to the [-] people, so they could only grit their teeth and shoulder this burden.

Liu Xing shook his head dejectedly: "The battle situation on the front line is not optimistic, the periphery has fallen into fierce fighting on all fronts, the Japanese army's offensive is very fierce, the 66th Army and 51st Division in the direction of Chunhua Town can't hold back and are already shrinking their defenses, the enemy's 6th Division in the south The regiment stormed Niu Shou Mountain, the 114th Division attacked Fangshan, and the 16th Brigade of the enemy's 19th Division to the east had already attacked near the Qilin Gate. The casualties were heavy, and many battalions and companies were almost wiped out..."

After pondering for a moment, Tang Shengzhi said: "Pull up the young reserve team and student soldiers in the city. Now it's time to fight desperately. Tell the frontline soldiers that the city is alive and the city is destroyed!"

"At the same time, order Song Xilian's 36th Division to strictly guard all military and civilian ships, including the chief's department, not to keep a single ship, and those who violate the order will be punished by military law!" He paused and added: "Call Hu Zongnan's First Army stationed in the north of the river, all local troops and soldiers crossing the river from Nanjing to the north of the river will be stopped, and those who do not obey the stop will be shot to death!"

Liu Xing felt a little inappropriate when he heard Tang Shengzhi's murderous words: "Mr. Tang, are you being too strict?"

Tang Shengzhi waved his hand and said: "In the past, Xiang Yu fought with all his might, but today I am ordered to stick to the capital. How can I be greedy for life and fear death? Tell all the troops that there is no way out, and they must fight the Japanese army with the determination to die!"

Seeing Tang Shengzhi's resolute appearance, Liu Xing couldn't persuade him anymore. He turned around and was about to deliver the order. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "I almost forgot. There is one more thing I haven't reported yet."

"What's the matter?" Tang Shengzhi sat down again, raised his head and asked.

"The new commander of the Capital Guard, Gu Zhenglun, has resigned from his position as the commander of the guard when he heard that his old problem of gastric ulcer has reappeared. He also withdrew to Hunan to recuperate with his gendarmerie headquarters. Look at this How are things handled?"

"Commander Gu was sick and went to the rear to recuperate, so I have to take on the task of defending Nanjing. Let the staff office of the guard army be merged into the garrison headquarters, and let the remaining four military police regiments be commanded by Xiao Shanling."

Tang Shengzhi knew what Gu Zhenglun was thinking, but he had already left, so it was hard for him to pursue anything. After all, Nanjing had become a place of death, and everyone wanted to escape, but he couldn't.

While the officers of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters were busy dispatching troops, Yang Ling and the others who arrived at the Gaoqiaomen Detention Station also waited until the afternoon before they received the order for reorganization.

Yang Ling and the other registered officers were summoned to a dilapidated courtyard, and dozens of officers with different ranks were waiting for new assignments.

"Damn, their ranks are so high." Although Yang Ling enjoys the treatment of lieutenant colonel, but for various reasons, he still wears the rank of major. When he entered the yard, he saw all high-ranking officers, and Liu Yidao and the others hurriedly saluted, and let Liu Yidao He couldn't help but lose half his head.

Yang Ling and the others had been waiting in the corner of the yard. Watching the officers who had been broken up go in to receive orders, and then leave, they were also in a state of confusion, not knowing what orders they would accept.

"Who are the former Jiangfang Army's Battalion Commander Yang Ling Yang, Company Commander Liu Yidao, and Company Commander Qin Shou?" Soon a lieutenant with a list stood on the steps and shouted into the yard.

Yang Ling and Liu Yidao hurriedly stood up and entered the room under the guidance of the lieutenant.

The light in the room was very dim, and the furnishings were simple. There was only a long wooden table and a few broken benches. Three officers wearing the rank of colonel were sitting behind the table looking at them.

"Liu Tuanzuo?" Liu Yidao called out in surprise when he saw the colonel sitting in the middle.

This lieutenant colonel was none other than Liu Ming, the head of the supplementary regiment who had come back from Shanghai with them. He had been promoted to colonel at this moment, and he was smiling at them.

"This is Staff Officer Liu of our garrison headquarters." One of the officers introduced Liu Ming.

It was only then that Yang Ling noticed that Liu Ming's epaulets had bamboo knots besides the colonel's plum blossoms, as if he had changed from a military officer to a staff officer.

Yang Ling hurriedly pushed Liu Yidao and Qin Shou, who hadn't reacted yet, to stand at attention and salute.

Liu Ming smiled and nodded to Yang Ling and the others, as if they had met each other. Liu Yidao wanted to say hello and get close, but Liu Ming stopped him with a wave.

His face became serious: "There are many things, let's talk about it later, and now I have a task for you."

"Yes!"

"The number of your guerrilla battalion remains the same, but it is now placed under the command of the Nanjing Garrison Commander's Department. The previous achievements are still being verified. Don't worry. Now Yang Ling is still the battalion commander, and Liu Yidao and Qin Shou are the company commanders. , These are the rosters of soldiers assigned to your battalion, take a look." Liu Ming handed a booklet to Yang Ling, who hurriedly took it.

"The battle situation is urgent now. I need your guerrilla battalion to be ready to fight before dark. Can you do it?" Liu Ming said in a tone that could not be refused.

Liu Yidao was about to say that the soldiers haven't seen it yet, so how to form combat power?Isn't this nonsense, but Yang Ling has already agreed loudly: "Yes!"

Liu Ming nodded in satisfaction, and his tone softened: "Go and count the soldiers first, and I'll go find you when I'm done. Go."
