To be honest, not only Zhang Tianhai was shocked by the common people jumping on the feet of the regiment leader, but also the officers and soldiers of the special agent company around Zhang Tianhai. They immediately stopped and took off the guns from their backs. , aiming at Ma San.
After all, at this time, things like traitors are possible, so we have to be cautious.
Seeing this scene next to him, Zhang Tianhai quickly shouted: "What are you doing? Put down your guns! Except for the officers and soldiers of the special agent company, everyone else continues to move forward and wait for me in front of Yijiang Gate!"
"Lao Zhang, what's going on?" Guo Qiliang, also wearing a woolen coat, followed up and asked.
Zhang Tianhai patted Guo Qiliang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, do you believe me? If you believe me, take the troops to Yijiangmen to communicate with Battalion Commander Ouyang stationed there. I will handle these matters. OK."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianhai nodded to Zheng Man next to him, gesturing for her to follow the pace of the troops.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in front. Without your command, we really can't get through it." Guo Qiliang nodded and said that he quickly ran to the front with his troops.
Besides Liu Houming, the ones staying with Zhang Tianhai were also Wei He, the commander of the special agent company.
"Tour members...what should we do with these people?" Liu Houming asked. Looking at his appearance, he also looked somewhat compassionate.
Zhang Tianhai touched the Browning pistol in his hand and bit his lower lip gently with his front teeth, as if he was making an important decision. After a long time, he finally said: "Fellow folks, please get up! If you can Trust me, after twelve o'clock, go through Yijiangmen and go to Hutchison Pier in the direction of Xiaguan. I will wait for you there, but you must obey my orders then. Otherwise, even the gods will not be able to save you!"
Ma San, an old gangster who has been around for a long time, is more sober. He knows that the young leader in front of him must have been moved by compassion and wanted to save these poor people. Otherwise, he would be an ace soldier. Is it possible for the grand commander to deceive these poor little people?
After hearing Zhang Tianhai's words, Ma San immediately let go of Zhang Tianhai's legs, hurriedly kowtowed a few times, like a bang-bang sound, and then raised his face with wet tears on it. He said: "Sir, if you can save the lives of my whole family, my humble life, Ma San, will be handed over to you from now on. I will not be able to repay it by being a cow or a horse..."
In this regard, Zhang Tianhai's handsome face remained expressionless, and he just said calmly: "The lives of your whole family and everyone present are yourselves. I can do my best to save them." I will try my best to save your lives, but the prerequisite is that you absolutely obey my orders. You can come to Heping Wharf when the time comes. My name is Zhang Tianhai, and I am the commander of the first regiment directly under the theater, but I still have military affairs. I hope everyone can understand and be considerate!”
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai turned and left without hesitation. He is not only a Chinese soldier, he is also the leader of the Zhiyi Regiment. He must also be responsible for his Zhiyi Regiment!
"Regiment leader, didn't we receive the order to leave Nanjing by ferry and wait along the river on the other side of Pukou to greet the senior officers of the chief's department?" Liu Houming asked with some confusion. After all, in his opinion, the regimental leader's behavior was There is something wrong with deceiving the people. What else is wrong?
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you are afraid, just cross the river with the regiment headquarters and the troops of the first battalion and wait for the regimental commander on the other side of the river." Zhang Tianhai said angrily. Who is he? How can he listen? Can’t you tell what Liu Houming meant?
After hearing these words, Liu Houming couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. He had roughly guessed the true thoughts of the regiment leader. What the regiment leader just said to the people was probably true and not a lie, so he He responded and said: "I understand, I understand. No matter where Tuan Zuo's gun hits, I will follow Tuan Zuo, up the mountain of knives and down into the sea of fire!"
Liu Houming's words were not to deal with what Zhang Tianhai said, but from the bottom of his heart. Such a leader Zhang is worthy of his desperate pursuit - what is an upright man? This is a man who is upright and upright!
Soon, the leading troops of the Zhiyi Regiment arrived in front of Yijiang Gate. Originally, Yijiang Gate was already filled with people who wanted to flee and soldiers who had been scattered from the front line. But when they saw the Zhiyi Regiment, they After gathering all the troops who were full of troops and wearing the cuffs of the garrison supervisor, they quickly made way for a road.
"The troops in front, please stop advancing immediately!" the officers and soldiers of the 216th Regiment stationed at Yijiangmen shouted. Although the troops in front of them also wore the same cuffs, they could not move forward until they received orders from their superiors. It will be released.
After all, Song Xilian should have just returned to the division headquarters at this time. He needs to gather the commanders of each regiment and the brigade commander to meet to give Commander Tang an order. After all, this is a confidential order. If you are not careful, it may cause the frontline troops to collapse immediately. Not to mention retreating, all the troops will be killed in Nanjing, and the remaining 50,000 to 60,000 troops will also die in Nanjing together!
Soon, the forward troops of the Zhiyi Regiment stopped advancing. They needed to wait for the arrival of the regiment commander and chief of staff, and then negotiate for release. They were originally troops separated from the 36th Division, so it was absolutely impossible. Doing such stupid things.
"You guys are just waiting, don't you know that time is running out? Hurry up and kill these bastards from the 36th Division so that we can leave the city together!" someone shouted from the crowd of defeated soldiers who gave way to the passage.
"Yes, these bitches are relying on orders from the superiors and won't let us go. You are so well-equipped. If we don't let you go, you just go ahead and kill them!" Another voice came from the crowd of defeated troops. .
Soon, the shouts of these defeated troops became one. Almost all of them were shouts of fighting and killing, advocating a fight with the 36th Division troops stationed at Yijiang Gate.
Of course, it has no effect other than getting a bunch of angry stares.
"The commander of our regiment is here. Who dares to let our regiment fight against the troops of the 36th Division?" Zhang Tianhai, who walked straight to Yijiang Gate, looked at the crowd with wide eyes and said, and suddenly everything fell silent.
After saying that, Zhang Tianhai walked towards the gatekeepers, still holding the release order signed by Tang Shengzhi in his hand.
"Where are you, sir? I am Zhang Tianhai, the commander of the first regiment directly under the third war zone. I am going out of the city to perform a mission under the orders of Commander Tang. Please inform your commander to let you go immediately!" Zhang Tianhai didn't waste any more nonsense. Said directly to the people guarding the gate.
"Yes, I'm going to inform our commander. Sir, please wait a moment!" said a sergeant, who looked like a squad leader.
Soon, Zhang Tianhai's old friend Ouyang Wu walked out of the city gate. Although Ouyang Wu was familiar with Zhang Tianhai, the military situation was urgent at the moment, so he didn't waste any time and said directly: "Captain Zhang, Where are your orders?"
Zhang Tianhai handed the order to Ouyang Wuwu and said: "Battle Commander Ouyang, the military situation is urgent now. You and I will not talk about the past for the time being. This is indeed an urgent order from Commander Tang. Please release it as soon as possible!"
Ouyang Wu read the content of the order and saw that the seal of the garrison commander's headquarters and Tang Shengzhi's signature were indeed at the end of the paper. He immediately waved his hand, and the troops quickly opened the door, which was just enough for four rows of people to pass quickly.
"Thank you, brother." Zhang Tianhai gave a military salute to express his gratitude.
Ouyang Wu immediately returned the military salute and lowered his voice and asked: "Brother Yulin, may I ask if the retreat order has been announced by the superiors? Your regiment is now a unit directly under the theater, and it is definitely better informed than us in ordinary field troops. People should be faster."
Regarding Ouyang Wu's question, Zhang Tianhai did not admit it, but he also did not deny it. After all, it is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly. He only saw him whispering: "You should wait for the master to give you this order!"
Ouyang Wu is not a fool. Waiting for the Master to give the order in person? That means taking a firm seat...
