Chapter 91: Persuasion

Zhuo Fei rescued this group of routs and civilians who were captured by the Japanese army just piggybacking on him, Lin Mohan walked towards Zhuo Fei, and was stopped by Niu Lao Bolt a few meters away. "Master Jun, whether to leave or stay, you make your own decisions, our boss doesn't want anyone to disturb you." Niu Laozhuan looked at Lin Mohan who was stopped by himself with a little smile, and after seeing the reactions of these captured national soldiers behind the broken wall just now, Niu Laozhuan lost interest in these guys.

Niu Laoshuan's words made Lin Mohan's expression change a little, he thought that this group of people who suddenly suddenly would be a new pair of national army robes, but he didn't want people to be out of step with the army at all, and the leader was still a businessman. Subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Fei a few times, but Lin Mohan felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was playing tricks on himself, these men in black obviously had the taste of a soldier, how could they be a young man's subordinate?

"Lao Niu, you let him come over, I just have something I want to ask someone about." Lin Mohan had already turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly heard a cold voice from behind him. "I'm Zhuo Fei, their employer, and you can also think of us as a civil organization." Waiting for Lin Mohan, who was full of doubts, to walk up to him, Zhuo Fei smiled and handed a cigarette to the other party first.

The smell of tobacco entered the lungs, so that Lin Mohan's heart that had been tense could finally relax, but Lin Mohan's vigilance never dared to be released. Zhuo Fei also lit a cigarette and took a puff, and smiled at Lin Mohan, "Saving you is just a stop, we were originally going to ambush a group of Japanese soldiers in the neighborhood over there, but we didn't want to meet you here." If you don't mind, can I ask for your troop number? ”

Seeing that Lin Mohan seemed to be interested in the shell gun hanging from the single-point gun belt on his chest, Zhuo Fei smiled and took the shell gun from under the gun belt and handed it to the other party, but the empty gun with the magazine removed first. "This is just an ordinary Mauser military pistol, I made a foldable butt myself, and when I fought with the Japanese army for the rate of fire, this thing was better than a wooden gun box." Zhuo Fei's words reminded Lin Mohan of the burst of gunfire just now.

Grabbing the shell gun with the butt and holding it up in front of him a few times, Lin Mohan returned the gun to Zhuo Fei when Niu Lao was glaring at him sideways. "My name is Lin Mohan, I am a company commander of the 156th Division of the 83rd Army, and when Guanghuamen was broken by the Japanese army, I and some of my brothers were scattered. The bullets ran out, the bayonets were broken, and finally the devil soldiers threatened us with civilians, so we were captured by the devil soldiers. ”

Lin Mohan's explanation made Niu Laozhuan's face a little better, at least this thing didn't take the initiative to put down his gun and surrender to the Japanese army. Zhuo Fei also nodded after learning about Lin Mohan's troop number, "I know that you 83rd Army, you Cantonese people are still very capable of fighting, and you are fighting well in Guanghuamen." Unconsciously, Lin Mohan, who was originally a little sick about Zhuo Fei's appearance, had already treated Zhuo Fei as an adult of the same weight as himself, and after receiving Zhuo Fei's praise, Lin Mohan was ashamed of his speechlessness.

"Fighting well is fighting well, there is nothing to be ashamed of, the strength between the Japanese army and the defending troops is not equal, especially the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment are worlds apart, the loss of Nanjing has long been a foregone conclusion from the moment the national army decided to hold on, you don't have to feel guilty for Guanghuamen being broken by the Japanese army." Zhuo Fei's persuasion made Lin Mohan's already guilty heart feel better, but when he thought of his brother who had died in battle, Lin Mohan's eyes became a layer of moisture.

"The Japanese army has more troops than you, their weapons are more advanced than yours, they have aircraft, artillery and tanks and armored vehicles, what does your national army have? In addition to the soldiers who fought to the death against the Japanese army, I think you yourself know that you do not have an advantage in the face of the Japanese army. Zhuo Fei's words made Lin Mohan nod frequently but was speechless, "Most of the troops stationed in Nanjing have experienced the Battle of Songhu, and the missing strength of many troops has not been filled, even if the recruits are replenished, I think I know how effective those recruits are, and it is difficult for such troops to defeat the Japanese army." ”

Lin Mohan had been listening to Zhuo Fei's words quietly, and when Zhuo Fei said that it would be difficult to defeat the Japanese army, Lin Mohan suddenly retorted, "Even if we can't defeat it now, we have to fight, Japan is just an island country, and it doesn't have much of a military source." On the other hand, our China has a large land and a large population, and even if we exchange ten people for one of them, the Japanese will not be able to afford to replace them, and it is not the style of our generation of soldiers to give up resistance in vain. ”

Lin Mohan's strong argument made Zhuo Fei couldn't help laughing, ignoring Lin Mohan's angry gaze, Zhuo Fei explained, "Chief Lin, I didn't say that I want you to give up resistance, but I also don't agree with what you said about exchanging lives for lives. What you just said is right, our China has a large land and a large population, but the weapons that the Japanese army has now entered are not vegetarians, and in the face of the overwhelming artillery shells and aerial bombs, before you can rush in front of them, you may have already suffered all casualties. ”

"Then we don't fight them head-on, we will break them into pieces, use the terrain, and sneak attack them." Lin Mohan still wanted to be able to refute Zhuo Fei, but he didn't know that Zhuo Fei had been waiting for him to say what he had just said.

"Chief Lin, what you said is good, I agree with it, it seems that we have found a common language." Zhuo Fei took out a cigarette again and handed it to Lin Mohan. "Since you have figured out how to find trouble with the Japanese army in the future, then you should not continue to stay in the city, our ancestors have an old saying, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. I hope that you can take these soldiers across the river to find the large army, rather than die in the city in vain, it is better to save your life and train well, and wait for the opportunity to teach the Japanese army a hard lesson. ”

Lin Mohan only understood at this time, and dared to say so much to the other party, that is, he had to take the initiative to evacuate. "I received news that the 36th Division was ordered to deploy at Rujiangmen to prevent the troops that had withdrawn without authorization from leaving the city of Nanjing. However, the garrison headquarters has ordered the city defense troops to evacuate, and I think that the Rujiang Gate has now been released, so you can leave now, and maybe you can catch the ferry across the river. If possible, I hope you can collect the scattered soldiers and civilians along the way, the Chinese have died too much. ”

The sound of gunfire in the distance interrupted the conversation between Zhuo Fei and Lin Mohan, and after receiving the news brought back by the guard post, Zhuo Fei hurriedly ordered Niu Lao to lead people to rush to the location where the explosion sounded. "Chief Lin, we are also destined, we have already told you everything we can say, as for doing this, it is your own business. There are already a large number of Japanese troops in front, you guys go now, I don't know how long my men will be able to hold out. ”

Lin Mohan wanted to stay and continue to fight the Japanese army, but when he turned his head to look at the few wounded soldiers under his command, Lin Mohan could only grit his teeth and evacuate to Rujiangmen with more than 100 defeated soldiers according to the route pointed out by Zhuo Fei. Lin Mohan and the others were obviously lucky, and not long after leaving the open space, a team of more than 200 Japanese soldiers came over under the cover of two light tanks. But unfortunately, all these Japanese soldiers saw were the corpses of some Japanese soldiers who had been stripped like bare pigs, and in addition, they also triggered several tricks left by Zhuo Fei and others.

"Baga, the people of China are dead." The Japanese soldier who commanded this Japanese army was surnamed Yamamoto, and his full name was Yamamoto Isa, but in fact, Yamamoto Isa's character was not brave at all, otherwise he would not have been mixed into Nakasa, and he was just a squadron leader commanding logistics troops. Yamamoto's squadron was subordinate to the 36th Infantry Wing of the 18th Brigade of the 9th Division, and the wing commander was Wakisaka Jiro Osa.

Before the Japanese army attacked Nanjing, the bigwigs of the Japanese military headquarters had already discussed privately that after the occupation of Nanjing, they would carry out a purge operation against the surrendered Nationalist troops and civilians in the city, so as to force the Nationalist Government that had lost the war to submit to Japan. Yamamoto's task was to command his squadron to take over the national soldiers and civilians in the city who were captured by the wing, and Yamamoto did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, relying on his usual friendship, Yamamoto got two light tanks from the tank wing to strengthen his courage, and then rushed to take over the first batch of captured prisoners of war. It's a pity that when he arrived at the predetermined location, he found that the prisoners of war had already run away and disappeared, and only the naked corpses of some imperial soldiers were left here.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yamamoto was furious, if he couldn't do the task of managing the prisoners of war, I was afraid that his uncle in a high position would not continue to help him. Isamu Yamamoto couldn't swallow this breath, but he wasn't born to fight, but Isamu Yamamoto, who was timid as a mouse, was now bold because he had two light tanks. According to Isamu Yamamoto's orders, the soldiers of Yamamoto's squadron moved forward along the street, and although the speed was not very fast, they quickly arrived in the combat zone where the guns were blazing.

Yamamoto's temperament has created his cautious character, and even though he already has two light tanks, when Yamamoto's squadron arrives at the periphery of the firefight, Yamamoto gives the order to stop advancing. The spearhead sent out soon returned, and brought back the not-so-good news that two streets away from here, an Imperial squad was exchanging fire with more than 200 China stragglers.

If it were other officers in the 36th Wing, I am afraid that he would have already gathered his troops to kill the past, but Yamamoto obviously did not have that courage, so he chose a more secure way to participate. Leaving a squad to guard the two ammunition trucks that followed the team, and the other two squads followed the light tanks to help the Imperial infantry squad, Yamamoto thought that his orders were quite secure, but he didn't know how many hundred meters away, and a pair of eyes were watching him.
