The progress between Zheng Man and Zheng Man was so fast that Zhang Tianhai could not imagine it. He originally only had some affection for a woman like Zheng Man, but despite his affection, he lacked precautions.
I just never expected that the two of them would actually be dating together now? Is this the deadly virtue of a stinky man? Although it is said that heroes love beauty, it has always been true in ancient times, but is it too fast?
Regarding the question of whether it is fast or slow, Zhang Tianhai is also questioning his heart, but he still can't get the answer. Maybe this is a man!
But since they are together, Zhang Tianhai doesn't want to be such a heartless person, so go ahead boldly. A girl has already achieved this level, what else do you want? Do you really want to learn from Xu Zhimo? If you don’t try to keep going, how will you know the result?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Zhang Tianhai's face. This was definitely the first smile from the heart after entering the Songhu battlefield until today. Looking at Zheng Man again, she also has a sweet smile on her face, which is extremely beautiful on her pretty face that brings disaster to the country and the people.
If this were in the peaceful 21st century, even if she was bare-faced, she would still be a star-level beauty in any casual photo. Moreover, she was a pretty pretty military flower. With her strength at that time, even if she was in the Navy The brigade has the reputation of "God of War", but how can a small company commander like him be worthy of her?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianhai gently clenched the soft and delicate hand in his hand, his face became more and more proud, and he forgot about the fact that he had just offended an ace master who was a powerful teacher. Love is such a frighteningly blind thing.
In fact, sometimes when Zhang Tianhai is alone, he will think that he has already come to this era, and has traveled through time to this seventh-generation Huangpu student. Will this be considered a part of history?
However, after much thought, I still didn't get the answer.
Maybe when I returned to the Republic of China, I was destined to complete something. But Zhang Tianhai didn't know what he wanted to accomplish. Maybe he would die after completing his mission like Huo Qubing.
Will the Battle of Nanjing be his last battle? You know, during the Nanjing Defense War, except for the 36th Division, which basically withdrew, most of the other troops did not withdraw. Even the 87th Division and the 88th Division, the two elite aces of German weapons, They were also lost in this battle, which is really disappointing. But will my regiment directly under the theater have the same fate as the 87th and 88th Divisions?
To be honest, Zhang Tianhai didn't know for sure. The Eighty-seventh Division and the Eighty-eighth Division were so powerful that they could not escape misfortune, let alone his newly established regiment directly under the theater. There are only four battalions with only more than 2,500 combat soldiers. What can they do? To put it bluntly, it is not enough to squeeze the enemy's teeth, and this is even when the whole group is fully staffed!
The camera shifts to a week ago, time, 8 a.m. on November 16, 1937; location, Sun Yat-sen Cemetery in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek's residence.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had not yet built the presidential palace. After all, when the Central Army was fighting wars everywhere and money was used everywhere, he would not waste money where he lived.
Chiang Kai-shek's residence was no different from other small foreign-style buildings of this era. They were both two stories high, but they occupied a larger area.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was walking in the corridor of the office with a worried look on his face. The troops in Shanghai had only been evacuated for two or three days, and all the troops were already in retreat, desperately marching westward, and most of them had lost contact. How could he not be worried?
"Dajun, the situation on the front line is in chaos now. I would like to hear your opinion on the defense of Nanjing." Chiang Kai-shek asked Qian Dajun, the director of the attendant's office next to him.
Qian Dajun sorted out his words, and then said: "Commissioner, I can't explain this humble position clearly, but looking around at the princes and middle-level senior generals, there are probably three voices, that is, whether Nanjing can be defended or not, and the other is the defense. As for Nanjing, if you should defend it, you should still defend it symbolically."
"Niang Xipi, there are so many feeble voices!" Chiang Kai-shek cursed through gritted teeth, "By the way, who are the people who advocate not guarding Nanjing?"
"It's the group headed by Mr. Wang Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei)." Qian Dajun answered truthfully. When he reached his position, he had all the glory and wealth, and the only thing he had to do was to be loyal.
After hearing that it was Wang Jingwei's group who voluntarily abandoned Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek felt relieved and asked: "Then most people agree to defend Nanjing?"
Qian Dajun responded: "Yes, basically most senior generals advocate the defense of Nanjing, but there is a lot of controversy between a firm defense and a symbolic defense."
"Okay, immediately notify He Yingqin (Minister of Military Affairs), Bai Chongxi (Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Commission), Liu Fei (Director of the Operations Department of the Military Command Department), Tang Shengzhi (Director of the Executive Department of the Military Commission), Gu Zhenglun (Nanjing Garrison Commander) and Zhang A group of (Kuomintang elders) are here for a meeting. At ten o'clock, I must see their people here!" Chiang Kai-shek ordered a second meeting of senior staff, excluding Wang Jingwei and did not notify him to come to the meeting.
"Yes!" Qian Dajun responded, and then went to carry out Jiang's order.
In subsequent meetings, these senior officials basically agreed with the symbolic defense of Nanjing. They believed that although Japan had strong military equipment, it had a small population, insufficient soldiers, a small territory, and lack of resources, so one city and one place should not be considered. In terms of gain or loss, in terms of troop strength, twelve to eighteen regiments should provide appropriate resistance and then retreat proactively to preserve strength for the next phase of the campaign, accumulating small victories into major victories, and achieve the purpose of consuming the effective strength of the Japanese army. As for the troops responsible for guarding Nanjing, they can use the two divisions of the Liu Xiang Department of the Sichuan Army as the main force for defense.
At the meeting, only Tang Shengzhi, director of the Executive Department of the Military Commission, advocated that Nanjing must be defended. He believed that Nanjing is the capital of our country, is important for international viewing, and is the location of Premier Sun’s mausoleum. If we abandon Nanjing, what will happen to us? Premier Sun's spirit in heaven? Because Nanjing has to stick to it.
At this meeting, all those present were members of the main war faction, but except for Tang Shengzhi, no one supported the decision to defend. Facing the two factions with clear opinions, Chiang Kai-shek did not make an immediate decision. He only said: "Meng Xiao's (Tang Shengzhi's nickname) opinion is right and worth considering. Let's study it further!"
After Chiang Kai-shek said this, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Another night later, that is, the night of November 17, 1937, Chiang Kai-shek held his third meeting of senior staff. At the meeting, only Tang Shengzhi insisted on sticking to Nanjing.
At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek asked: "Who is responsible for holding on to Nanjing?"
At this time, none of the senior generals at the meeting spoke up. Finally, Tang Shengzhi stood up and broke the silence. He said firmly: "Chairman, if no one else is responsible, I will No matter how hard it is, I will definitely hold on and live or die with the city of Nanjing!"

PS: Another update. Although this is just a novel, Eagle still wants to present the more realistic side of the Anti-Japanese War to everyone. The creation of historical themes must be based on respect for history.
