Chinese hero who cannot be forgotten, the officials before the Nanjing Massacre ran away, and only he swore to die to protect him

In these battles such as the Nanjing Defense War, there are many stories to sing and weep, and there are also many national heroes, and what I want to talk about today is the Xiaoshan Order, who swore to die and marched and retreated with Nanjing.

To tell the truth, Xiao Shan Ling was only a deputy commander of the gendarmerie at that time, and so many big officials in Nanjing City should not let him garrison this city under any circumstances. However, it was such an inconspicuous person who, at that crucial moment, stepped forward and shouldered all the responsibilities to defend the city and protect the people in the city.

In addition to the post of deputy commander, he was also the director of the Nanjing Police Department, the commander of the Security Department, the commander of the Air Defense Department, and later, the mayor of Nanjing also fled because of fear, Xiao Shanling became the mayor again, he was also enough to fight, for the country and the people to this extent, if this is now maybe one night sudden death.

Later, as soon as Tang Shengzhi gave the order, he withdrew with a large army, and Xiao Shan Ling resolutely stayed behind and once again assumed the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the river crossing.

Perhaps many people will envy, he is so capable, he has several positions, unlimited scenery, in fact, many times he is chasing ducks on the shelves, forced to helpless.

At that time, in the Battle of Nanjing, he had the opportunity to escape, and before the city was breached, one of his subordinates ran over to him and solemnly advised him, "Let's go, this city will certainly not be able to hold, why do you have to do unnecessary struggle, and give your life in vain."

Anything is possible to survive. But Xiao refused, saying, "I can escape, but what about the unarmed people behind me?"

Tang Shengzhi once swore to heaven in this way, but in the end he lost to reality and withdrew. Only Xiao Shan ling himself stayed.

Later, many people came to persuade him to let him leave, but Xiao Shan Ling was still so determined and never wavered. He will hold the city.

Later, his superiors issued an order to retreat, he asked his subordinates to organize the people to go first, and the subordinates put him on a stretcher several times to carry him away, he gave up, he wanted to go back to command.

This time the order came too urgently, the preparations were not done in time, and all of a sudden all the people in the city ran to the shore, the crowd was crowded, and the retreat work was comparable to a war. The point is that the Japanese knew about it, and they came to make trouble, and there were countless casualties and the air was bloody.

Such a tragic scene made Xiao Shan Ling sad and indignant, and he went to the scene with a kind of soldier to fight with the Japanese for five or six hours. However, the equipment of the Japanese army was too advanced, and the equipment was also complete, Xiao Shan ling quickly could not resist this side, the soldiers were almost dead, and they were seriously injured.

The people around him fell down one by one, and In order not to be a prisoner, Xiao Shanling first prostrated his head three times to the sky, and then raised his gun and shot at his own head.

Later, Chiang Kai-shek also held a memorial service for him. When her wife learned of his death, she became emotional, vomited blood and died, and followed her husband. The family buried them together.
