At 7:50 a.m. on December 9, 1937, Zhang Tianhai, who had just finished washing, received an urgent order from the division headquarters. He immediately relayed the order to the regiment headquarters, and then asked the first battalion commander Li Chunfei to immediately lead the first battalion to take over the peace. Gate defense will be under the command of Brigadier Li Zhipeng of the 106th Brigade.
"Commander, what's going on now? Why was the order given so suddenly?" Li Chunfei ran to Zhang Tianhai and asked.
Zhang Tianhai looked around, motioned for others to leave, and then said to Li Chunfei: "After you arrive at Peace Gate, you must follow Brigadier Li's command and obey his arrangements in everything, but..."
As soon as he mentioned the possible situation, Zhang Tianhai showed an expression of embarrassment, and he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Li Chunfei was not the kind of person whose emotional intelligence was so low that he didn't even look at the commander's face, so he said directly: "Commander, it's okay if you say so. When I was in other troops, I was also a small company commander. , it was you who single-handedly promoted me after I arrived at the Thirty-sixth Division, otherwise I, Li Lixin, would not be where I am today. I will never say anything about my humble position!"
Zhang Tianhai thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "After noon on December 12, there may be changes in Nanjing City. You must be flexible to face various special situations. If something particularly urgent happens, I will send Liu Houming went to inform you, and you will take care of it then."
"Tuanzuo, what do you mean, after noon on December 12th, the city of Nanjing will be destroyed..." Li Chunfei lowered his voice and asked, but was interrupted by Zhang Tianhai before he could finish the question.
"I never said this." Zhang Tianhai glared at Li Chunfei.
Li Chunfei immediately understood what Zhang Tianhai meant, and he said, "Yes, I understand!"
"If everything is hopeless, the priority should be to preserve the battalion!" Zhang Tianhai lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Group seats!" Li Chunfei stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and added: "But be careful, you must not retreat before receiving the order. If you retreat, even I will not be able to save your kid's head!"
"I understand, I understand." Li Chunfei responded, feeling awe-struck in his heart. The regiment's strategic awareness was very strong. Since he said this, there is a real possibility that those on the front line would be in the position where they could not withstand it. .
Zhang Tianhai knew that defeat was inevitable on the Nanjing battlefield. He did not want the Zhiyi Regiment, the last elite German weaponry, to suffer the same results as the Teaching Corps, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division. You know, These three troops were almost destroyed in this battle.
After the Battle of Nanjing, there were almost no German weapon masters left. There was only one German weapon master left in the Thirty-sixth Division, oh no, to be more precise, half of it.
Because of this, Zhang Tianhai, who knew the direction of history, seemed to have left another elite force of German weapons for China. Even if he died in this battle, after the Nanjing Defense Battle, he would dismantle the Zhiyi Regiment and fill it with thirty The Sixth Division, the Thirty-sixth Division is once again the main force of the ace weaponry of Gangbang.
The battle to defend Nanjing was so miserable that the five battalions of the 51st Division of the 74th Army that guarded Chunhua Town yesterday were all wiped out in one afternoon. Zhang Tianhai did not think that his temporarily expanded direct force How much stronger can one regiment be than the five battalions of the battle-hardened 74th Army?
If the whole regiment stays in Nanjing, there will be only one outcome - the entire army will be annihilated!
Watching the departing figure of First Battalion Commander Li Chunfei, Zhang Tianhai's throat moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he never said it out: he regretted that he had just asked Li Chunfei to pay attention to saving the First Battalion, but ordered Li Chunfei to guard the Peace Gate. He couldn't do it. If he insisted on defending the Peace Gate, he would let Li Chunfei die!
"Liu Houming." Zhang Tianhai called out.
"The humble position is here." Liu Houming responded.
"Follow me down and greet the master!" Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said coldly.
"yes!"
…
It was already 8:30 in the morning when Master Song Xilian arrived at Yijiangmen in an off-road vehicle.
After arriving at Yijiang Gate, Song Xilian immediately asked Zhang Tianhai to go up to the tower to report the situation to him.
"Master, I have always lived up to my command. In the past few days, I have not let anyone who retreated without receiving orders pass Yijiang Gate." Zhang Tianhai stood at attention and reported.
"Very good. I have worked hard for you these past few days. I want to guard Yijiang Gate with you. By the way, your battalion is now sent to the Peace Arch, right?" Song Xilian sat on the chair behind the desk in the tower and directly Ask Zhang Tianhai.
"Reporting to the Master, I have dispatched one of the battalions that I was guarding together with you to guard the Peace Gate." Zhang Tianhai said sternly.
Song Xilian nodded and said: "Well, very good. If it were not for your direct regiment, I am afraid that the troops here would have been stretched long ago. I came here this time and only brought a guard platoon with me. Now I am inside Yijiang Gate. Are you keeping the two companies you left behind?"
"Reporting to the division commander, there is still a special agent company and a military police company of our regiment in Yijiangmen. In addition, the low-ranking official also mobilized the machine gun company here without authorization." Zhang Tianhai did not hide it, after all, these Nothing can be deceived.
After listening to Zhang Tianhai's report, Song Xilian immediately slapped the table and applauded, then stood up and said: "Very good, then I'm relieved. With these three companies, plus the guard platoon brought by the division commander, we can guard a city. The door is more than enough.”
"In this humble position, I will obey the military orders of the master." Zhang Tianhai responded.
Compared with the tense situation at Yijiangmen, the situation at Peace Arch was not bad. The first person to arrive at Peace Arch was Li Zhipeng, commander of the 106th Brigade. Since he went there in an off-road vehicle, he arrived relatively quickly.
After arriving at Hepingmen, Li Zhipeng immediately asked Ouyang Wu, the first battalion commander of the 216th Regiment, the person in charge of garrisoning here, to come down to see him.
After seeing Li Zhipeng, Ouyang Wu saluted with a military salute, and then said: "Sir Li, I have received the order. After you, sir, and the troops of the Zhiyi Regiment and the First Battalion arrive, we will hand over the peace Gate and the defense of Xiaozhuang Normal School."
After Li Zhipeng returned the military salute, he then asked: "Okay, have the troops from Commander Zhang's regiment arrived now?"
"Captain Zhang's troops from the First Regiment haven't arrived yet. Sir, I'm afraid you have to wait here for a little longer." Ouyang Wu is a student in the sixth period of Huangpu, and Li Zhipeng is a student in the fifth period of Huangpu. Li Zhipeng is higher than Ouyang Wu in terms of seniority and official title, so it is understandable that he should be more respectful.
"Okay, then I'll just wait here!" After saying that, Li Zhipeng got on the off-road vehicle and waited slowly. He is not very tall, only about 1.7 meters tall, but he is not to be underestimated, and his command is The combat ability is not very strong.
About ten minutes later, a troop ran over from the direction of Yijiangmen. The troop was divided into two rows and was not scattered at all. Although the gait was not as neat as that of the People's Liberation Army of later generations. , but in this era it is already relatively neat.
They also chanted slogans "One two one, one two one, one two three four!"
Moreover, the voice is very loud, which makes people feel invigorated.
