Chapter 292: Shame and Courage
Qiu Qingquan said: "A manly man, do something, do something, in order to preserve the vitality of the party-state, and in order to better fight against the Japanese invaders, I believe that the people of Nanjing can understand our choice!" ”
Standing in Qiu Qingquan's position, breaking through is the right choice of course.
But from Zhong Yi's standpoint, it is impossible to break through no matter what!
Unless he can take away all the people, it is absolutely impossible for Zhong Yi to choose to break through!
Since traveling to this historical time and space, all the efforts Zhong Yi has made are to avoid that unprecedented tragic historical tragedy, and now once he leads the troops to break through, won't this tragedy be repeated?
Zhong Yi said coldly: "Chief of Staff Qiu, as a soldier, don't you feel ashamed to say such things?" ”
"Shame?" Qiu Qingquan said, "You are a woman's kindness!" Ci is not in charge of the army, your ridiculous idea is likely to kill hundreds of thousands of brothers in Nanjing! ”
"A woman's kindness?" Zhong Yi said coldly, "As a soldier, you should protect the people!" ”
Qiu Qingquan said: "As a soldier, you should fight for the country and the nation!" ”
"That's right!" Zhong Yi said, "However, the family is the smallest country, the country is tens of millions, if the people are all dead, the country will be gone!" And the nation will perish! ”
Qiu Qingquan said: "But we have more than one Nanjing in China! ”
"But Nanjing is the capital of China!" Seeing that he was not convinced by Qiu Qingquan, Zhong Yi could only show his last trump card, "Nanjing is the place where the former prime minister's mausoleum is located, Chief of Staff Qiu, do you want the first prime minister to die and not live in peace?" ”
"I ......" Qiu Qingquan was speechless when he heard this, Zhong Yi threw out the mausoleum of the former prime minister, and he had no way to refute it.
Zhong Yi glanced at Qiu Qingquan deeply, and said: "Chief of Staff Qiu, I am not Tang Shengzhi, let alone waste snacks like Sun Yuanliang and Gui Yongqing, I am holding Nanjing and holding it!" Even if you find the order of the chairman, I still have to abide by it, and I will be outside, and the king's order will not be accepted! ”
After speaking, Zhong Yi turned around and walked away.
Zhong Yi is taking precautions, or warning Qiu Qingquan that if he doesn't reveal his identity, doesn't ask for a military order from the headquarters to restrain him, or even replaces him, then nothing will happen.
But once Qiu Qingquan does this, then he can only say sorry!
Seeing Zhong Yi's figure slowly disappear, Qiu Qingquan fell into a long silence.
For a long time, Zhu Liangcheng, who had not spoken beside him, suddenly patted Qiu Qingquan on the shoulder, and said quietly: "Lao Qiu, I think what the group is right, the capital cannot be abandoned, and the mausoleum of the former prime minister cannot be discarded lightly!" Nanjing, we can defend it, and if we can't defend it, we still have to defend it, soldiers, only death! ”
"Understood!" Qiu Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said solemnly, "Since Tuanzuo has made up his mind to defend Nanjing, then I don't have anything to say, damn, just keep it!" ”
Zhu Liangcheng nodded and said, "That's right." ”
……
Let's go back and talk about the Japanese army.
After attending the meeting in Tangshan Town, the commanders of the various divisions and detachments of the devils immediately set off to return to their respective stations.
Since the 6th Division's station was far away from Tangshan Town, it was not until after 11 o'clock in the afternoon that Shiro Inaba returned to the headquarters of the 6th Division near Yuhuatai.
After returning to the headquarters, the first thing Shiro Inaba did was to rebuild the Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United.
In fact, before Inaba Shiro left for Tangshan Town, Shigeta Shigetoku was already making preparations.
Since the Kumamoto Wing and the Kagoka Wing were almost completely wiped out in the battle last night, the two wings only escaped less than half of the remnants of the brigade.
So these two wings are basically equivalent to rebuilding.
Shigeta Shigetoku first drew a brigade from the 23rd Infantry Wing and the 47th Infantry Wing, and assigned them to the Kumamoto Wing and Kagoshima Wing as the backbone brigades, and then transferred a large number of backbone veterans from the 23rd Infantry Wing and the 47th Infantry Wing to serve as grassroots officers in the Kumamoto Wing and Kagoshima Wing.
After that, Shigetoku Shigeta transferred more than 6,000 reservists from the supplementary corps to each of the four infantry wings, making all four infantry wings fully formed again.
With such an operation, the four infantry wings of the 6th Division were basically restored to full strength.
Of course, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with before, especially the combat effectiveness of Kumamoto United, which will be reduced by several grades! But fortunately, all the people who were added to the 6th Division were reserve soldiers, and their military literacy was still very good, but they lacked a little experience, but as long as they fought a few battles, their combat effectiveness would immediately improve rapidly.
At 1 p.m., the four infantry wings were basically in order.
Shiro Inaba immediately called a meeting of all the commanders above the rank of wing commander.
The commanders of the troops present at the meeting were two brigade commanders, four infantry wing commanders, cavalry wing commanders, engineer wing commanders, and baggage wing commanders, but the field artillery wing commander was gone.
Because the reconstruction of the field artillery wing is not so easy.
"Gentlemen!" Shiro Inaba's cold gaze swept over the faces of the two brigade commanders and the seven wing commanders, and he said gloomily, "In last night's melee, our 6th Division suffered the heaviest losses, losing two infantry wings, which is not only a shame for the Kumamoto Wing, but also a shame for the entire Imperial Japanese Army!" ”
"Hello!" The troop commanders present at the meeting also paused their heads heavily.
Shiro Inaba said again: "There is an old saying in Shina, shame and courage! Because of the humiliation we suffered last night, we should fight bravely in the next battle, because only by constantly winning victories on the battlefield can we wash away the previous shame and restore the honor of our Kumamoto Division! ”
After a pause at this, Inaba Shiro bowed deeply again: "Gentlemen, please!" ”
"Hello!" The commanders of the two brigades and the seven wing commanders also quickly got up, bent down and bowed.
Holding the bow posture for at least seven or eight seconds, Inaba Shiro finally straightened up again, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Order!" ”
The nine troop commanders, who had also maintained a bent posture for at least seven or eight seconds, got up one after another, and then suddenly retracted their feet and straightened up, and then turned their gaze to Shiro Inaba.
"The 47th Infantry Wing, attack Wudingmen, and the 23rd Infantry Wing attack Tongjimen!" Speaking of this, after a pause, Inaba Shiro said, "As for the 13th Infantry Wing and the 45th Infantry Wing, jointly attack the Zhonghua Gate!" ”
As soon as he heard Shiro Inaba arrange this, the four wing captains immediately guessed his thoughts.
What Inaba Shiro thinks about is where to fall, where to get up, before Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United entered Nanjing City through the Zhonghua Gate and suffered a big loss, but now, Kumamoto United and Kagoshima United still have to enter the city through the Zhonghua Gate, which is undoubtedly a show of determination!
