"Boom" accompanied by the explosion, shrapnel and debris mixed with gas and fireworks splattered in all directions, and with the sound of rain hitting the eaves, the Japanese soldiers outside the grocery store who were using wooden planks and debris as cover shouted in unison, and many shrapnel and debris had penetrated their cover, nailing them with fragments of wood chips. "Bang" and "Bang" two gunshots, Zhuo Fei, who poked the muzzle out of the window, quickly put away his gun, and the two Japanese soldiers who were hit by the bullets also screamed and leaned on the ground.

Zhuo Fei uncharacteristically did not kill the two Japanese soldiers, but only hit them in the legs and feet with bullets, Zhuo Fei did this not because of poor marksmanship, but because he wanted to use these two wounded Japanese soldiers as bait to lure other Japanese soldiers who were hiding out to die. The fast and slow machine that has been adjusted to a single-shot state is used by Zhuo Fei as an assault rifle, and the fast and slow machine with a capacity of 20 rounds is really as strong as an assault rifle in Zhuo Fei's hands when the firing distance is not more than 80 meters.

"Stone, give me a bullet." Zhuo Fei kicked several empty magazines under his feet to Zhuo Yan, and the fast and slow machine in his hand did not stop and continued to shoot. Under the suppression of Zhuo Fei's accurate gunfire, the Japanese soldiers outside the grocery store never found a chance to kill with one hit, and finally waited for Zhuo Yan to suppress the bullets in those magazines, and Zhuo Fei, who had been suppressing the Japanese troops outside, was immediately overjoyed. After grabbing a few grenades and pulling strings, he threw them out of the grocery store, and Zhuo Fei took Zhuo Yan out of the hole in the back wall of the grocery store.

"Stone, support me to the house." Zhuo Fei, who drilled out of the hole in the back wall, did not think about escaping from here, but stepped on Zhuo Yan's shoulder and went directly to the roof from the back wall. The roaring noise outside the grocery store successfully covered up the movement of Zhuo Fei on the roof, and before the smoke of the explosion dissipated, Zhuo Fei on the roof had already moved to the side facing the street. After a burst of rapid shooting, Zhuo Fei on the roof jumped directly from the roof, Zhuo Fei rolled forward after he landed, and then turned around and shot down a Japanese soldier hiding under the eaves.

"Stones, just grenades, and nothing left." Zhuo Fei, who was busy rummaging through the grenades from the Japanese corpses, saw that Zhuo Yan was rummaging through the pockets of one of the corpses, so he reprimanded Zhuo Yan, who was reprimanded by Zhuo Fei, was not angry, but just handed Zhuo Fei half a pack of matches that he had rummaged through to Zhuo Fei. Looking at the honest smile on Zhuo Yan's face, and then looking down at the half-pack of matches in his hand, Zhuo Fei's heart seemed to be scratched by something, and there was a faint mist in his eyes.

Zhuo Yan is a child who has been slow to brainstorm since he was a child, compared with ordinary children, Zhuo Fei understands a thing for far more time than his peers, perhaps because of this reason, Zhuo Yan's family will deliberately abandon him when he is 10 years old. But Zhuo Fei wanted to thank Zhuo Yan's original family at this time, if it weren't for their ruthless abandonment, maybe he wouldn't have met Zhuo Yan in Cangzhou, and he wouldn't have recognized this quiet but simple-hearted brother.

Zhuo Yan rummaged through the corpse's pockets for matches, just because Zhuo Fei had complained that there were no matches to light cigarettes, and in fact, the two of them entered the grocery store because Zhuo Fei wanted to find matches to smoke. For the sake of a pack of matches to put himself in danger, Zhuo Yan not only complained, but also firmly remembered that Zhuo Fei needed matches, and he didn't care if he was reprimanded by himself, Zhuo Fei knew that it was his luck to recognize such a brother.

"If you are true to me, I will not fail you." Zhuo Fei said something that Zhuo Yan didn't understand with red eyes, reached out and patted Zhuo Yan on the shoulder, who smiled and went to rummage through the grenade on the corpse's waist. The two quickly put the few grenades they found into their backpacks, and then disappeared into the vast night along the street, and before they knew it, after killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who had infiltrated the city, Zhuo Fei suddenly found that he and Zhuo Yan had circled back to the vicinity of the safe zone.

Now that he has returned here, Zhuo Fei also took Zhuo Yan to prepare to go back to the safe area to replenish ammunition and water a little. It's already December, the night is shrouded in cold wind, there are many refugees waiting to enter the safe zone outside the horse rejection fortifications outside the safe zone, adults and children are noisy, the whole street is noisy, those tired refugees can only sit in the open air now. Look at the piles of refugees in front of you; Listening to the desolate cries of women and children in the distance and near away, Zhuo Fei's heart ached like a knife.

Zhuo Fei was sad, but he would not show it, because in his opinion, most of these refugees were self-inflicted. Even before the Japanese attack, he had twice risked being discovered by the military commanders by distributing leaflets in the city asking residents to take refuge across the river, but unfortunately, very few residents had crossed the river to take refuge before the crisis broke out. If it weren't for the preparations he had made in advance, and if it hadn't been for Hansen's initiative to expand the security zone for Rabe, perhaps these refugees would have been left to their homes and resign themselves to their fate.

Maybe it's a lot better now, right? Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan had already annihilated some of the Japanese troops who had infiltrated the city around the security zone, which not only stabilized the city defense, but also bought time for the refugees to enter the security zone. But he knew that there were still a large number of civilians trapped in the city of Nanjing, and he needed manpower, and he needed a lot of manpower to tell the civilians the location of the safe zone. Although there were only two people, Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan, there were only two people in the security zone, but this was a shock to every refugee waiting to enter the security zone. The routs who tried to blend in with the refugees and wanted to blend into the safe zone were dressed in civilian clothes, and now, in front of them, there were two men who were not soldiers but carried guns. These two people were definitely not wearing military uniforms, but they were wearing German-style steel helmets assembled by the national army on their heads, especially because their bodies were soaked in blood, and their bodies exuded the smell of blood and gunsmoke.

Doesn't the security zone say that military personnel are not accommodated? Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan walked all the way, and the refugees in the way in front of them ordered to give way to avoid the two, and no one dared to ask where did these two people covered in gunpowder smoke and bloodstains and dust come from? What are you here for? Some refugees even thought that Zhuo Fei and the others were preparing to break into the safe zone with guns to take refuge, and the arrival of Zhuo Fei and the others immediately conveyed a panic to the refugees outside the safe zone.

Behind the rejection of the horse stood the German soldiers guarding here, led by Hefman, who was making a fuss and wanted to go out with Zhuo Fei, who suddenly saw Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan brothers coming back, and hurriedly beckoned a few guys with him to move away from Zhuo Fei and let Zhuo Fei and the two come in. Waving his hand at Huffman to signal that he would not go in, Zhuo Fei took the iron horn that Huffman had placed on the side of the horse and jumped onto the sandbag that served as cover.

"The devils are about to enter the city, and the devils who enter the city may let go of the civilians in the safe zone, but they will definitely hunt down the soldiers who are mixed with the civilians and kill them all." Zhuo Fei raised the tin horn and shouted at the refugees who were out of the horse. "I know there are soldiers among you who have taken off their uniforms and want to blend into the safe zone, but I warn you, don't think it's safe to sneak in. They will scrutinize all the strong men in civilian clothing, and they will look at the hands of the strong men to see if there are any calluses left by long-term contact with firearms."

Among the refugees, many veterans who had lost their weapons and uniforms followed Zhuo Fei's words, and they were unconsciously looking down at the calluses on their fingers that had been sharpened by the trigger. "The devil will also ask the strong men to take off their clothes, look at their shoulders, and see if there are any traces left by long-term gun support on their shoulders" In the refugee group, many of the defeated soldiers who wore civilian uniforms unconsciously pressed their hands on their chest sockets that supported the handle of their guns, and unbuttoned their shirts to sneak a glance with their eyes.

"Once the Japanese army breaks through the city, they will think that they are the victors and make all kinds of regulations, and those who violate these rules may have only one end, and that is death. When the Japanese army sees people with marks on their chests and shoulders, and people with calluses on their fingers, whether you are a soldier or not, you will be killed" Zhuo Fei's words made more and more people in the refugee group look at each other's expressions, and their faces were full of panic.

"I know that you may not want to do this, and you don't want to leave your brother's robes and pretend to be civilians to escape alone, the war is unfavorable and the situation is rotten, but if it were me, I might have made the same choice as you. But now it's different, Nanjing's city defense was broken by the Japanese army is a foregone conclusion, you are hiding, and even discarding your weapons and uniforms, but do you really think that the Japanese army will let you, the strong men who have fought in the war, continue to live? "Stretch out your head and shrink your head or a knife, why don't you let yourself die like a real soldier?" Zhuo Fei broke off with a shout, which shocked the routs who were mixed in the crowd. "Instead of being stabbed to death by the Japanese army with bayonets, buried alive by the Japanese army, and shot by the Japanese army en masse like a dog, why can't you pick up your weapons again and fight the Japanese army to the death? It's all going to die, can you let yourself die like a man? Zhuo Fei's voice blew through the crowd like a raging wind, and it slammed into the hearts of those routed soldiers like a heavy hammer.

"I need manpower now, I need a lot of people, I need people to follow up the Japanese soldiers in the city after the city is broken, and I need locals who are familiar with Nanjing City to notify civilians in other areas to take refuge in the safe zone." Zhuo Fei looked around at the large crowd in front of him, and finally raised the little finger of his right hand and laughed wildly, "If it's a gentleman, stand up, don't let me underestimate you, my brother is only 17 years old, and he already dares to follow me to find trouble with the little devil, but don't tell me that you are not even as good as my brother." ”

The refugees who refused to leave the horse were in an uproar, everyone knew that the guns were going off in the city, and no one would think that they would live long. Zhuo Fei's words were full of danger, and the refugees looked left and right to see if anyone would stand up and follow the man on the sandbag to fight the little devil who entered the city.
