Liu Xing stood in place and didn't speak, seeing Yang Ling's serious appearance, he was very puzzled, what can't be said here?

Yang Ling was also very worried in his heart, Liu Xing, as the deputy commander of the Nanjing garrison, was in a high position, and the generals under his command were all a handful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he has been received by Liu Xing several times, he should have a good impression in Liu Xing's heart, but he is a small battalion commander, will he give himself the opportunity to talk alone, Yang Ling is not sure.

"You come with me."

Liu Xing was stunned for a few seconds, but decided to listen to what Yang Ling wanted and said.

Hearing Liu Xing's words, Yang Ling was also relieved, no matter whether the persuasion was successful or not, he had to do his best, and followed Liu Xing into the separate room next to him.

The furnishings of the room were very simple, Yang Ling also closed the door with his hand, and there were only two people left in the room, him and Liu Xing.

Liu Xing walked to the chair and sat down, took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of the tweed army's coat, lit it for himself, looked up at Yang Ling and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it now."

"Yes!" Yang Ling knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and without the slightest delay, he said all his inner thoughts like pouring beans.

Liu Xing had been smoking a sullen cigarette without the slightest change on his face, making Yang Ling unable to figure out what he was thinking.

"You're done?" After Yang Ling finished speaking for a long time, Liu Xing extinguished the cigarette in his hand and stood up.

"Sir Liu, I'm done."

"Do you know what you just said?!" Liu Xing's voice carried a hint of anger: "Chief Tang ordered the blockade of the ferry, destroyed the ferry, and vowed to live and die with the city, and the soldiers of our army also fought bloodily, fighting for every inch of land with the Japanese invaders, and shed blood and sacrificed to defend the capital, and now you are asking for the ban on crossing the river to be lifted, what are your intentions?"

Before Yang Ling could explain, Liu Xing had already slapped the wooden table heavily: "If it weren't for your merit in killing the enemy, I would have had you dragged down and shot you for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!"

Yang Ling knew that when it came to this, if he was to hide it again, it would not be his own style, even if Liu Xing wanted to shoot himself, but if he could save the soldiers and civilians in the city, it would be worth dying.

"Sir Liu, the Japanese invaders are known to be hideous and brutal, we have seen countless cities and towns turned into ruins along the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, there are no people or animals left wherever the Japanese invaders go, and now there are hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, if the city is broken, how can you ensure that the unarmed people will not be slaughtered by the Japanese invaders?"

In the face of Yang Ling's rhetorical question, Liu Xing scoffed, and he retorted loudly: "I have generals led by Governor Tang in Nanjing, and more than 100,000 loyal warriors and soldiers who are sworn to resist to the death, how can I allow the Japanese to run rampant!"

Hearing Liu Xing's words, Yang Ling also sighed in his heart, bullshit strategizing, when the war was unfavorable, the fastest ones were the commanders of the garrison headquarters, and they threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the Japanese for slaughter.

Yang Ling took a deep breath and continued: "Chief Liu, I'm not saying discouragement, the Japanese have nine divisions and more than 200,000 field elites, and we, most of them are broken divisions withdrawn from Shanghai, many troops have not had time to reorganize, there are only three or four hundred people in one battalion, and some companies even only have twenty or thirty people, not to mention 100,000 soldiers, it would be good to have 70,000 or 80,000, how can this be fought?"

Liu Xing also knew what Yang Ling said, most of the troops were newly defeated, and most of them were not satisfied, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, and quibbled: "Even if there are only 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers, as long as we defend desperately, the Japanese invaders will not want to occupy my capital!"

"In just one week, all of our outer defense lines in Nanjing, except for the Purple Mountain, have fallen, Chief Liu, do you think our city wall can withstand the heavy artillery of the Japanese invaders?"

Yang Ling ignored Liu Xing's calm face, and continued to say to himself: "A few days ago, the Japanese commander has airdropped a letter of persuasion to surrender, if we don't surrender, the day the city is broken will be the time to slaughter the city, Chief Liu, as a soldier, we are not afraid of death, and it is our honor to die on the battlefield, but you have to think about it for hundreds of thousands of people, order the ferry to be opened, and let the people in the city evacuate......"

Yang Ling said movingly, Liu Xing's face also softened, he knew that Yang Ling was not afraid of death, but he didn't want the people in the city to suffer.

Liu Xing returned to his seat and sat down and lit a cigarette, how could he not know that Nanjing could not be defended, and he also knew the strength of the Japanese army, the reason why they stayed here was just to give an explanation to the people, if the capital was abandoned without a fight, then the people's hearts would really be gone.

For Yang Ling's persuasion to immediately lift the ban on crossing the river, Liu Xing knew that this was impossible, and now it was a battle against the water, if the front-line soldiers knew that they could cross the river and evacuate, then the army's morale would be shaken, and there would be no courage to fight to the death, and the last hope of defending Nanjing City would be shattered.

Liu Xing was silent for a long time and then said: "Foreigners have set up an international refugee zone in the city, and even if our army cannot hold Nanjing at that time, the lives of the people stranded in the city can be saved."

Yang Ling was also speechless about Liu Xing's hope pinning on the so-called refugee areas, he knew that these so-called international refugee areas could not stop the bayonets of the Japanese invaders at all, because the Japanese invaders had gone crazy.

The international refugee areas were also accomplices to the Holocaust to a certain extent, and without these alien refugee areas, the more than 300,000 people who were stranded would have been evacuated along with the other 6,700,000 people in the early evacuation, rather than being left in the refugee areas by chance.

These foreigners set up refugee areas to give the people hope of life and let them stay, but the refugee areas did not provide real protection, and the end result was the massacre of the Japanese invaders.

"Sir Liu, the Japanese have gone crazy, so they don't care about any international refugee areas, how can they ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of people with those more than ten foreigners?"

The Chinese in this era were too dependent on counting on foreigners, and if the chairman of the Songhu Conference did not wait for the mediation of the nine-nation pact to delay the time, and could have evacuated a week earlier, how could it lead to the subsequent rout?

"Don't say it anymore, as soldiers, we can't do anything about winning or losing the war, what we can do is to abide by our duty and have a clear conscience." Liu Xing: He wanted to divert the topic.

"Chief Liu, if the people in the city are slaughtered, you and I will become national sinners, how can we have a clear conscience?"

Yang Ling's rhetorical question made Liu Xing stagnant, he also knew that Nanjing might not be able to hold it, but he was holding a little luck, if he persuaded Tang Shengzhi to let go of the ban on crossing the river now, then the army's heart would be shaken, and there would be no hope at all, he was very entangled......

"Chief Liu, count me Yang Ling begging you for the people in the city, let go of the ban, and let the people cross the river and flee for their lives." Yang Ling finally pleaded.

Liu Xing also sighed: "Yang Ling, do you think I'm so hard-hearted? How could our garrison headquarters not consider this kind of thing happening, but once the ban is lifted, the only trace of determination that the troops have will be gone, how can this battle be fought? ”

"I'll also give you a guarantee here, if you really can't hold Nanjing, I will persuade Governor Tang to order the abolition of the ban on crossing the river, and then our troops will also swear to cover the evacuation of the people."

"I'm afraid it won't be too late then......"

Liu Xingyi waved his hand: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, you go back first, today's matter will be stopped, and I will not pursue you, if I hear someone say that it will shake the morale of the army, I will not spare it!"

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he left in stride, leaving Yang Ling with a helpless face, he can only hope that Liu Xing can really fulfill his guarantee by then, but from what he knows, I am afraid that there will be chaos at that time, who can take care of it.
