Seeing Zhuo Fei's appearance and familiar Chinese clearly, the panicked people in the alley finally stopped panicking, but there was still a strong look of vigilance in their eyes. "We are Chinese, and we are here to save you." Zhuo Fei stretched out his arms to the refugees in the alley and repeated his words again. "Xiaofenqiao, who of you knows how to get to Xiaofenqiao on Guangzhou Road?" Seeing that the refugees in the alley were not panicking, Zhuo Fei asked with a smile.

The refugees who were asked by Zhuo Fei were silent at first and did not answer, and after about ten seconds, an arm was slowly raised in the crowd, and a deep voice belonging to an adult sounded, "I have been there, I am a rickshaw puller, there is no place in Nanjing City that I have not been." ”

Zhuo Fei was immediately overjoyed, pointed to the middle-aged man who was talking, and asked the other party to come forward and talk to him. After comforting his relatives and friends, the middle-aged man broke his wife's hand and grabbed him tightly, and walked out of the crowd to meet Zhuo Fei. Zhuo Fei, who saw the performance of the middle-aged man's relatives and friends, laughed again, "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you." Mr. Rabe of the German company Siemens lives at No. 1 Xiaofenqiao on Guangzhou Road, and Mr. Rabe has joined forces with some expatriates to set up a safety zone on Guangzhou Road to help civilians like you who want to escape the fighting. ”

"Since you know the route to Xiaofenqiao, then I will appoint you as the temporary commander of these people, and you have to help them rush to the safety zone of Xiaofenqiao as soon as possible." As soon as Zhuo Fei's words fell, the refugees in the alley immediately became jubilant, especially the middle-aged man who claimed to be a rickshaw driver, and it took less than an hour to rush to Xiaofenqiao from here.

"Still, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor." Zhuo Fei's sudden change of words made the jubilant alley immediately fall silent, these refugees had already seen the methods of Zhuo Fei and the two of them just now, and they were afraid that Zhuo Fei would make some demands to blackmail them. "The national army defending the city is almost overwhelmed, and the Japanese army is about to break the city, but there are still many civilians like you in the city. I would like to ask you to inform the civilians who are still hiding at home along the way when you move towards Xiaofenqiao, and tell them the news that Xiaofenqiao has set up a safe zone. ”

"But what if those people don't want to listen to us? We can't tie them with ropes and carry them away, can we? "Some of the refugees raised objections, and Zhuo Fei did not roll his eyes at the refugees who objected, in fact, this is another characteristic in the bones of the Chinese, always thinking that if I nest at home and do not provoke you, you should not and will not come to me for trouble."

"Then you don't need to tell them that if you want to survive, you must get to Little Pink Bridge before dawn. The Japanese army has already suffered a lot of casualties in the siege of the city, and once you enter the city, you will definitely take out the anger of civilians and wounded soldiers, if you think that you will be fine if you hide at home, it is a big mistake. The Japanese soldiers will break into your house, kill your family and steal your belongings, and when the Japanese enter the city, they think that everything in the city has become the property of the Japanese, do you think you can reason with a group of robbers with weapons? ”

"You don't have to be patient with them, just knock on the door along the road and tell them the news about the safe zone, and you don't have to stay too long for those who don't believe in it. Remember, you must rush to Xiaofenqiao before dawn, after dawn, the Japanese army outside the city will launch a general attack, and the guns are not long-sighted. Zhuo Fei carefully admonished the side again, and then disappeared into the night with Zhuo Yan carrying a large bag.

"Master Mu, what should we do? Going to Little Pink Bridge? Zhuo Fei took Zhuo Yan away, and the refugees in the alley surrounded the middle-aged man who had talked to Zhuo Fei, and they were in a mess. They all originally lived in an alley, and seeing that the battle situation was getting worse and worse, they discussed hiding in the car dealership south of the city, but now they were told by Zhuo Fei that there was a safe zone established by foreigners in Xiaofenqiao, and there was finally a different opinion among the refugees who originally agreed on the same opinion.

Mu Lianshan, who claimed to be a rickshaw driver, pondered for a while, and then replied, "I don't think those two people just now didn't look like they were lying to us, they didn't ask us for our money, and we didn't make any promises, everything depends on our own choices." I thought about it, although the car dealership in Nancheng is big enough, if the little devil really enters the city, that place will not be able to escape the eyes of the little devil. I think let's go to Xiaofenqiao to have a look, if Xiaofenqiao is not what the man just said, we can go to Nancheng in time. ”

Mu Lianshan didn't fully believe what Zhuo Fei said just now, and after a deep groan, Mu Lianshan made two preparations, after all, Chengnan Car Dealership was the place he was most familiar with. Mu Lianshan made two preparations, but the refugees on his side had already divided into two factions and quarreled, some agreed to go to Xiaofenqiao, and some insisted on going to the south of the city. Mu Lianshan tried to persuade the two sides of the quarrel to calm down, but was directly ignored by both parties, and finally Mu Lianshan had to take care of his family and stand at the entrance of the alley silently waiting for the quarrel to end.

Looking at the neighbors and acquaintances who were arguing like fighting cocks, Mu Lianshan felt a burst of boredom in his heart for no reason, when was this, and there was still time to argue around here. Time passed little by little, and seeing that they had stopped here for half an hour, Mu Lianshan finally got impatient, and immediately called his relatives and friends together. "I think these people will have no result for a while, let's go first, and go to Xiaofenqiao."

In the alley, neither side of the dispute found out when Mu Lianshan and a dozen of them left, and when they were quiet when their mouths were dry, Mu Lianshan and his party had already walked out of a few streets. Mu Lianshan and the others, who were horrified by the two explosions of "boom" and "boom", all shrank in the shadows on the side of the street, and before the numbness on their scalps disappeared, they heard a burst of rapid gunfire like dense raindrops, just like what they had heard in that alley just now.

After a few breaths, there was a sound of shoe soles stomping on the ground, and more than a dozen figures with a tow came out of the street in front of him. More than a dozen people who emerged from the front of the street were obviously a little panicked, and after discovering Mu Lianshan and the others who were hiding on the side of the street, they all crossed the road and stopped on the opposite side of the street. Seeing that the other party was also dragging his family, Mu Lianshan, who was hiding in the shadows, took the initiative to pull his wife and daughter towards the other party.

The other party may have secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and an old man about 60 years old greeted Mu Lianshan and said, "Did the little brother also go to Xiaofenqiao?" ”

The other party's familiar local accent made Mu Lianshan doubly favorable, and hurriedly returned the salute, "We were originally going to Chengnan Hutchison Car Dealership, but we met devil soldiers on the road, but fortunately we were rescued. Uncle, what are you? ”

The old man laughed, "As I said, those who are not doing side business on the street in the middle of the night may only be able to flee." Like you, the old man and my family were also looking for a place to hide, but we met a group of robbers at the front of the street. I thought about going back and telling my neighbors to go to Xiaofenqiao together, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Knowing that the old man and these people were also rescued by two people, Mu Lianshan described Zhuo Fei's appearance to the other party, and the old man nodded frequently and said that it was the person who saved them from Mu Lianshan's mouth. "Look, I'm right, people are dedicated to saving people in the city, I think, let's hurry up and go to Xiaofenqiao." Waving goodbye to the old man's group, Mu Lianshan took his relatives and friends all the way to Xiaofenqiao, and did not forget to notify the refugees he met according to Zhuo Fei's instructions on the way.

Rushing to Xiaofenqiao, Mu Lianshan and his relatives and friends were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them, the street entrance was tightly blocked by wooden barbed wire, a large number of panicked refugees were queuing up outside the refusal, and all kinds of sounds mixed together made the whole street full of buzzing sounds. "You are only allowed to bring personal belongings, no more than one suitcase, and no weapons of any kind." With a commotion, the crowd that was originally crowded outside the horse suddenly dispersed outward, and Mu Lianshan, who was standing on the rocks, saw several men outside the horse being surrounded by German soldiers wearing steel helmets.

"The security zone contains only civilians, and military personnel are not allowed to enter the security zone." The men who were surrounded by the German soldiers were not treated badly, but were driven away from the rejection by the German soldiers. Some people also asked why they were not allowed to enter the safe zone, and it was obvious that two of the routs who were driven away from the horse looked still underage. But no matter how the crowd outside the rejection of the horse argued, the German soldier guarding the rejection only said that the soldiers were not allowed to enter the safe zone, and no matter how the two soldiers pleaded, the German soldier with a straight face just shook his head.

The security zone does not accept soldiers, this is the advice given by Zhuo Fei before leaving his residence on Guangzhou Road, for the sake of more civilians and the safety of the security zone, Hansen and the others must be ruthless to refuse the soldiers to enter the security zone. In the Battle of Nanjing, which Zhuo Fei knows, the international security zone established by Rabe and others was frequently attacked by the Japanese army, and the fuse was the rout of the national army that had infiltrated the security zone. Japanese soldiers who enter the security zone to search will often take dozens or even hundreds of civilians from the security zone because they find that several national troops have been defeated.

Zhuo Fei knew that the Japanese army had already infiltrated the city with small units before the war, and he could not prevent the Japanese soldiers disguised as Chinese from entering the security zone, so he had to openly refuse the soldiers to enter the security zone. Zhuo Fei didn't know if doing so would reduce some trouble for the security zone after the Japanese army broke through the city, but he knew that sometimes it was definitely worth sacrificing the lives of a few people for the sake of more lives.
