After saying that, Tianchou walked forward.
Fan Chong raised the gun in his hand and shouted,"
"Alright, brothers, the commander has agreed to bring us along. Everyone, follow this commander!”
Just like that, Tianchou led dozens of defeated soldiers and walked forward.
To be honest, he wanted to find the unpolished jade first, but Jinling was in chaos, and he didn't know where to find it.
"Sir, where are we going? Brothers, we haven't eaten rice for a whole day. If we can't find a place to rest, I'm afraid we won't be able to stand it!”
Dragging his straw sandals that were about to break his heels, he followed behind Tianchou weakly, his mouth constantly bulging.
According to Fan Chong, this person was called Wang Dezi, and he was also a veteran!
The last ray of sunlight reluctantly left Tianchou's sight, and the distant scenery slowly melted into the night.
Tianchou led more than 30 soldiers in ragged clothes, carrying all kinds of dusty weapons on their backs as they walked on the rubble-filled street.
Where should he go? How would I know?
Tianchou cursed in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was indeed lost!
However, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he forced himself to reprimand,
"What do you know? We don't know the situation right now. We have to find a safe place to stay, where we can eat, drink, and sleep.
Otherwise, do you think it's fun for me to lead you for so long?”
Wang Dezi was stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his head as he smiled embarrassedly.
At the same time, Tian Chou also wiped his cold sweat and thought,""I finally managed to fool him."
He looked at the soldiers behind him who were still wearing unlined garments and thought," The sky would definitely get colder when it got dark. If they did not find food and clothes, half of these cold and hungry soldiers would probably collapse tomorrow.
One of the soldiers sneezed, and the sharp-eyed Tian Chou noticed that Fan Chong also had a flash of anxiety in his eyes. Apparently, he had also realized the same problem.
Just as Tian Chou was burning with anxiety, a sharp roof appeared in his sight, and he could hear the sound of knocking on a wooden fish.
"That's…"
There were many temples in Jin Ling City in the 1930s.
"Yes, a temple. As long as we get to the temple, there will be food. Those monks must have clothes or something.”
Fan Chong also cheered the soldiers on.
"This officer is right. There will be something to eat when we reach the temple. Brothers, hurry up and leave!”
Tianchou and Fan Chong encouraged the tired and hungry soldiers to gather their last bit of spirit and walk towards the temple.
Tang Shengzhi, a first-class general of the G Corps and the commander of the Jinling garrison, walked into his temporary command post with a livid expression.
He ignored the salutations of the dozens of staff officers in the headquarters.
The situation outside was too bad. Nanjing was already within the scope of the Japanese artillery fire.
Now, the Japanese had begun to concentrate their forces on attacking Guanghua Gate.
Just this morning, the 154th Division of the 83rd Division, which was stationed at Guanghua Gate, had been beaten back. The 87th Division, which took over Guanghua Gate, had lost more than 2,000 people in just half a day.
And just now, Division Commander Wang Jingjiu had called, saying that the devils had already charged into Guanghua Gate.
With two infantry regiments and a dozen chariots leading the way, they had already occupied the large and small fields and barracks. The situation was extremely critical.
Because everyone knew that once Guanghua Gate fell, the devils would be able to charge into the city.
Therefore, Liao Ken, the chief of staff of the Nanjing garrison commander's headquarters, immediately ordered the 87th Division to guard Guanghua Gate at all costs.
However, the development of the battle situation was not as expected by the staff officers of the garrison commander's headquarters.
The 87th Division launched several counterattacks in a row, but they failed to drive the devils out of Guanghua Gate. Instead, they suffered heavy losses.
In a moment of desperation, Liao Ken brought a squad of soldiers from the headquarters and rushed to Guanghua Gate.
Before he left, he specially instructed Tan Daoping, the First Section Chief of the Combat Division,
"I brought a phone to Guang Hua Sect to take a look. We will talk on the phone every ten minutes. If there is no phone, then Guang Hua Sect will be finished.”
For a major general to say such desperate words, it was obvious how dangerous the war was.
Tang Shengzhi stood with his hands behind his back in the staff officer department that had been transformed from a temporary residential building. He did not say a word. The staff officers who were originally busy became even more nervous when they saw him.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone rang. Tan Daoping quickly picked up the phone and said a few words to Tang Shengzhi,"
"Sir, the 87th Division is calling. The Japanese army is attacking fiercely. They have suffered heavy casualties and can't hold on much longer.”
Tang Shengzhi couldn't help but grab the phone and roar at the officers of the 87th Division on the other end of the phone,"
"I don't care what you do. Even if you all go to the battlefield to block the bullet holes, I only need you to guard Guanghua Sect.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Shengzhi sat on a stool made of cannonballs and panted for a long time.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said to the staff officers beside him,
"Pass down the order immediately. No one is allowed to take half a step back, or else we will punish them according to military law!”
