Sword life

Chapter 89
Zhang Gang hurried to the City Defense Command, and was immediately surrounded by a group of people.

Gui Yongqing was the most enthusiastic. Zhang Gang led troops to help him defend the position for two days, killed at least one little devil in the brigade, and saved the teaching team from losing one regiment.

In addition, all the wounded in the teaching corps were admitted to Zhang Gang's field hospital, which made him, who had always been proud, smile.

Sun Yuanliang and the others nodded slightly. They didn't get any benefits, but Zhang Gang fought a lot of vicious battles. Not only did the troops not decrease, but they fought more and more and became stronger. Naturally, these people could see it.

The two commanders of the Cantonese Army showed subtle smiles and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Xu Yuanquan forced a smile. The 41st Division lost more than half of it, and a regiment and two battalions accounted for more than half of it.

Zhang Gang didn't care, and went directly to Xiao Shanling: "Commander Xiao, at this juncture, do you still want to hand over the Third Gendarmerie Regiment to me?"

"Of course!" Xiao Shanling nodded, although the two had known each other not long ago, they had been through life and death several times, congenial, and got along better than others.

Everyone gathered together and naturally talked about today's battle situation. Both the 88th and 87th Divisions suffered heavy losses and had to give up some positions to be defended by the 74th Army.

The teaching team was a little better, but after a day of fierce fighting, the fourth regiment shrank to three regiments, and the strength in the direction of Tiger Cave was slightly weak.

As for the Second Corps, the loss of two regiments, plus the two regiments given to Zhang Gang, reduced its staff by a quarter, and it was close to the brink of collapse.

The Qingliang Mountain under the Xiaoshan Order was not the focus of the Japanese attack, and two battalions were also lost. Fortunately, the little devil's offensive was contained and no position was lost.

Zhang Gang lost a battalion of troops, which was the least among many generals.

Zhang Gang was startled. The obvious losses of the Chinese army alone amounted to six regiments, with about 1 casualties. If the fight continues like this, it will take less than two days for some troops to collapse, and the entire front will not take five days. It's about to collapse!

At this moment, there was a coughing sound outside the door, and Tang Shengzhi walked in.

"Everyone, today's battle is fierce, so I won't say more. The meaning above is to wait for another week and wait for the League of Nations to intervene."

When Tang Shengzhi said this, all the generals were talking about it. At this time, resisting for a week is undoubtedly a daydream.

"Commander Tang, the Japanese army outside the city has received reinforcements, but we have no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. How can we persist for a week?" Gui Yongqing said angrily.

"The 88th Division has suffered heavy losses on the Songhu battlefield, and now it is fighting bloody blood with three times as many little devils. The battle line is long and the personnel are weak. Please ask Commander Tang to solve it." Sun Yuanliang is aggressive. Veteran warlords are polite.

"This is also the meaning of the above. I think everyone knows what to do." Tang Shengzhi gave a light haha, pushed the matter out, and said:

"Since the start of the battle to defend the city, all the generals have fought bravely. These will not be in vain."

These words were worthless, and the generals looked ugly when they heard it. Sun Yuanliang said: "Commander Tang, I have seen things like painting cakes a lot. I just want to know how to deal with the ammunition of our division, and, Our artillery is completely lost, why didn't the headquarters replenish any of them, didn't even the artillery be prepared before leaving?"

Tang Shengzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Sun. It's the same in the city at present. Ammunition can be attacked at night. Kill the Japanese army and replenish it?"

"No, you have to give me an explanation today. If you don't replenish the ammunition of the 88th Division, our department can't continue to fight!" Sun Yuanliang also became angry, and slapped his military cap on the table.

"Yes, we must give an explanation, otherwise, we will run out of ammunition and food, and we will not be able to hold our heads against the little devil's plane and cannon!" Gui Yongqing also stood up to speak.

As soon as the two spoke, Yu Jishi and Song Xilian also expressed their opinions one after another, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

Tang Shengzhi was worthy of being an old Jianghu. Although his face was a little stiff, he still maintained his demeanor: "Okay, I understand the opinions of the generals. I will react to the above and see how to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, Tang Shengzhi raised his hands and left, leaving the generals in the conference room to hang out.

Looking at it, Zhang Gang felt chills in his heart. After fighting for a week, the ammunition was almost exhausted, and he didn't even prepare the artillery. This blocking battle was probably going to be bad.

What's even more frightening is that the generals are at odds, almost to the point of tearing their faces apart. The various ministries cannot form a whole, and it is easy for little devils to break through one by one.

Seeing Tang Shengzhi leaving, everyone was surprised!
