The guard company commander also wanted to inform Wu Qiujian, but he was coerced by these 400 chaotic soldiers under the city wall.

It didn't take long for the battalion commander to decide to take the remnants and retreat to Xiaguan.

Escaping for their lives is only one aspect, so they want to ask Song Yuanliang for an explanation......

"The question is how to get there?" A company commander pointed to the Japanese army who was about to attack the city and said, "It is impossible to walk from outside the city, and from the inside of the city, you can only go to Rujiang Gate and Xingzhong Gate, both of which are guarded by the 36th Division, and with our 400 men, we can't rush through at all......"

"There is strength when there are many people!" The battalion commander gritted his teeth, "Don't make a noise yet, wait until you get down the city wall, and then talk about it when you get to the city...... I don't believe it, if I know that the Zhonghua Gate has been broken, the people in the city are still unwilling to leave? ”

The commander of the guard company was shocked: "Are you crazy? ”

The battalion commander wanted to coerce the rebellious people to storm the Rujiang Gate.

"It's Song Yuanliang who is crazy!" The battalion commander bared his teeth and made a hideous face, "Lao Tzu didn't stand here and shout, didn't let the friendly troops defending the city run with us, he has done his duty......

"Yes, it was Song Yuanliang who abandoned us first......"

"What is the responsibility, it is also Song Yuanliang who is responsible for ......"

Several platoons shouted loudly.

"Good!" The battalion commander nodded heavily, "If you want to live, follow me......"

A few minutes later, hundreds of soldiers rushed across the Diaoyu Tai in a nest.

When a group of rebels shouted "The city gate has been broken, and the only way to escape is from the Rujiang Gate", most of the rebels along the street followed.

By about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the 400 rebels walked to Rujiangmen, the number had reached more than 30,000......

The city has not yet been broken, and they don't even know that before the committee has agreed to the order for the Nanjing defenders to retreat, Song Yuanliang is not the only one who has abandoned the battle and fled, and Xu Yuanquan, who led the second army to garrison Wulong Mountain.

At about half past two, that is, when Fang Buwei had just been hung on the city wall, and Song Yuanliang was ordering Liao to desperately repel the last wave of the Japanese army's offensive, Xu Yuanquan ordered the 41st Division and the 48th Division to cross the river from the Huangnidang Wharf at the mouth of the river in Baguazhou, and fled from Liuhe County to Anhui.

Song Yuanliang could think of hiding the ship in advance, and others would naturally think of it.

As soon as Xu Yuanquan arrived in Nanjing, he ordered his subordinates to hide four steamers and nearly 200 wooden boats in Bafengzhou.

Therefore, Tang Shengzhi's sentence of breaking the kettle and fighting against the water is purely a joke.

When Xu Yuanquan led his troops to flee, Pukou's First Army had not even started, and he left earlier than Hu Zongnan.

In fact, among all the troops defending the city, the Second Army Corps was the most fully organized, and basically did not engage the Japanese army.

When he defended Qixia Mountain with the 83rd Army before, his defense area was in the south of Qixia Mountain, and he was not hit by artillery fire.

On the contrary, a regiment of the 83rd Army and the 36th Division, which was at the forefront of Qixia Mountain, suffered the heaviest casualties.

Therefore, after Qixia Mountain was broken by the Japanese army, Tang Shengzhi withdrew the Second Army to Wulong Mountain, and asked Xu Yuanquan's troops to assist the troops of Wulong Mountain Fortress to guard the Wulong Mountain Fort.

As long as the Wulongshan fortress is held, Jiangbei is safe, even if the Japanese army enters the city of Nanjing, attacks Xiaguan, and even surrounds Pukou, as long as the Wulongshan fortress is not lost, the defenders and refugees in the city can cross the river from Bagua Prefecture and flee from Liuhe County to Anhui and Jiangxi.

But unfortunately, Xu Yuanquan fled before the battle and directly lost the Wulong Mountain Fortress to a regiment of the fortress troops.

At ten o'clock in the evening of the 12th, the fortress was immediately breached, and the fortress troops were almost disabled, and Xu Yuanquan was not seen to come to the rescue.

As soon as the Wulong Mountain fortress was lost, the Japanese warships naturally drove straight in, drove into Xiaguan, and fired wildly at the defeated troops and refugees on both sides of Xiaguan and the middle of the river, and then completely surrounded Nanjing.

The most hateful thing is that this bastard had just crossed the river, and when he received a telegram from Tang Shengzhi informing him of a meeting, he ran back with a few guards?

He was afraid that he would not be there during the meeting, and he would let Tang Shengzhi and the other troops know the truth that he had led his troops to escape, so he came to a plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang.

Therefore, until the time of retreat, including Tang Shengzhi, all the generals in Nanjing did not know that Xu Yuanquan's troops fled before Tang Shengzhi's meeting, and it was not until the Japanese warships drove to Xiaguan and fired wildly that they knew that the Wulong Mountain Fortress had been lost.

Therefore, Xu Yuanquan's responsibility is no less than that of Song Yuanliang......

And this is not the first time he has escaped, and it is not the last.

During the Battle of Wuhan, he once again fled without a fight, and was almost subjected to military law by Li Zongren.

Later, he asked someone to ask the chairman of the committee, but he escaped with his life, and he never entered the military and political circles again.

Where can Fang Buwei remember so clearly?

He was lacking in skills, he wanted to look at Song Yuanliang and Tang Shengzhi, and he planned to find another way to evacuate some refugees in advance......

The more you greed, the more you lose!

On the evening of the 11th, Tang Shengzhi ordered the troops in the city to build fortifications and prepare for street fighting, so most of the roads in the city were dug up.

Only a few troop transport lanes were still complete, but after hearing that the Zhonghua Gate had been breached again, Tang Shengzhi hurriedly transferred nearby troops to reinforce it, so Fang Buwei delayed for a long time, and it was almost half past three before he arrived at the Ministry of Railways.

When Fang Buwei entered, the sound of the telephone ringing, the sound of telegrams being sent and received, and the sound of the staff officer repeating orders to the dispatcher were all mixed together, as if he had entered a vegetable market.

Hearing the voice of the staff officer's shouting, Fang Buwei's face changed.

Zhonghua Gate and Taiping Gate have been lost!

These two gates are exactly one south and one north, at opposite ends of the meridian.

Nanjing is in danger!

If the troops defending the city can have the morale of the 88th Division to defend Yuhuatai, even if one or two city gates are breached, it will not be the worst.

Just fight in the streets.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Didn't Leningrad also win the war?

But Fang Buwei had no confidence in the troops of the Nationalist Army.

To be precise, he did not have confidence in the commander of the national army.

Not everyone is Zhu Chi, it is Gao Zhisong, who has the courage to take the lead and the determination to fight to the death!

Fang Buwei listened while walking, and directly asked Ye Xingzhong and Bian Congjun to carry him into the conference room.

Tang Shengzhi was here, waiting for the generals of the various ministries to gather and announce the chairman's order to "retreat" and the specific arrangements for the retreat.

Tang Shengzhi originally planned to retreat on the evening of the 14th, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, the Japanese army had already entered the city, and it would take two days and two nights to fight, maybe the whole of Nanjing would be surrounded, and he would not be able to withdraw when he wanted to.

Therefore, Tang Shengzhi decided to advance the retreat time by two days, which was set for tonight.

Seeing Fang Buwei, Tang Shengzhi sighed heavily and said hello: "No, I'm here!" ”
