Successfully detonated the bomb planted in the street, and didn't bother to look at his own results, the disgraced Zhuo Fei quickly slid down the rope prepared behind the roof, making such a big move, Zhuo Fei no longer had the heart to deal with the few Japanese veterans who tried to attack him. The Japanese army broke through the city defense, and there were not a few Japanese troops who came into the city, and Zhuo Fei, who was not arrogant enough to be fearless, did not want to be surrounded by the Japanese army alone, and he did not think that his life was too long.

After quickly turning south along the street, and after crossing two street intersections in a row, Zhuo Fei suddenly stopped, and dense green and yellow dots appeared in the map system. This is Zhuo Fei's own setting, green represents civilians, and yellow represents the forces that resist the Japanese army in the city. The resistance to the Japanese army may be scattered by the scattered national army stragglers, or it may be civilians like Zhuo Fei who spontaneously took up arms, Zhuo Fei plans to turn around and see why so many civilians have gathered here.

When Zhuo Fei saw the towering spire in front of him and the American flag fluttering in the wind, he frowned, the building with the American flag in front of him was a damn church. According to the temperament of these foreign missionaries, Zhuo Fei guessed that the church in front of him must have opened its doors to accommodate many refugees and defeated soldiers, but the American missionaries who might exist in the church did not understand the temperament of the Japanese army, and they did not think that the Japanese Navy had already regarded the US Pacific Fleet as an imaginary enemy, and the Japanese did not have much good impression and respect for the Americans.

The civilians and soldiers who fled into the church must have thought that it would be safe to hide in the church, but they never imagined that in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, they were just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and God on high could not save them. Zhuo Fei checked the red dots that appeared on the map one after another, and then hurried to the church in front of him without thinking, although he didn't know if his efforts would work, he still wanted to try to save the civilians hiding in the church.

The church built on the side of the road did not have a courtyard with green space like the church in the Shanghai Concession, so Zhuo Fei pushed the gate open with force, and what he saw was hundreds of panicked and helpless civilians and routs. The gray-faced Zhuo Fei didn't look very good at this time, but the German-style steel helmet he was wearing on his head and the shell gun hanging on the gun belt on his chest made the originally noisy church instantly quiet, and several young children were also covered by their families, not daring to make a sound.

"Who's in charge here? Father? Priest? Zhuo Fei stood at the door and asked the ** god in the church, and when he saw that no one answered him, he took a few steps forward and jumped on a bench. Who among you can make the final say? Don't be nervous, I'm Chinese too, and I don't have any ill will towards you. In order to prove that he was not hostile, Zhuo Fei immediately took off the steel helmet he was wearing on his head, and washed his face with a handkerchief with the water in the kettle.

"Oh my God, he's still a child, and he's the same age as the eldest son in Mr. Yao's family." Seeing Zhuo Fei's face clearly, someone in the crowd finally made a sound, and a middle-aged woman in a plain cotton robe and dressed elegantly just opened her mouth when the middle-aged man next to her reached out and covered her mouth. Perhaps because of Zhuo Fei's willingness to show his true face, the crowd slowly parted, and a middle-aged foreign man dressed as a priest with a cross on his chest walked towards Zhuo Fei.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Zhuo Fei, who jumped off the bench, preemptively said in English, "I am not religious, and I don't know what rules you have here, if I offend you and the gods you believe in, then I apologize to you." Now, though, I need a chance to talk to you and them on an equal footing, and I beg you not to look at me with the eyes of a child, knowing that my friends and I have killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the city. ”

Zhuo Fei's fluent American English was already somewhat beyond the American pastor's expectations, when he walked into Zhuo Fei, the American pastor couldn't help but exclaim, he thought that the black on Zhuo Fei's clothes was the color of the original fabric, but when he really got closer, he saw clearly that those blacks were all blood stains that had already dried together. Stretching out his hand and drawing a cross on his chest, the American pastor who spoke a little stumbling said to Zhuo Fei, "You can call me Pastor George, this is the church, I'm just a pastor, I don't want the war to be brought into the church, the church is full of poor people who have lost their homes." ”

He didn't ask Zhuo Fei's name, didn't ask Zhuo Fei about his purpose, and didn't ask Zhuo Fei if he needed help, Pastor George, who was already frightened by Zhuo Fei's weapons and those bloodstains, only wanted Zhuo Fei to leave his church quickly. Pastor George's reaction made Zhuo Fei frown unconsciously, and then asked, "Mr. George, do you know that there is a war going on outside?" Did you know that the Japanese soldiers had already entered the city? I guess you don't know that the Japanese soldiers are searching for civilians in the city, right? ”

The contempt in Zhuo Fei's eyes angered George, who originally wanted to persuade him gently, but before he could speak, Zhuo Fei, who had no intention of giving him a chance to speak, preemptively said, "Mr. George, I don't doubt your heart to help these civilians, and you have won my respect for this. But what I want to say is, have you really figured out how to protect these civilians? I mean, can you still be so calm in the face of the bayonets raised by the Japanese soldiers? You must know that the bayonets in the hands of the Japanese soldiers will kill people at any time, so they will not care if you are an American or not. ”

The little courage that George had just gathered with great difficulty instantly dissipated without a trace because of Zhuo Fei's words, "The war gave the Japanese great courage to think that they could occupy the whole of China, and it is precisely because of their arrogance that the Japanese will never allow people like you to do bad things to them." Killing you, for these arrogant Japanese soldiers, is as simple as killing any Chinese, as long as you burn the body or push your death on the national army, all this will have nothing to do with the Japanese army. ”

George didn't dare to face Zhuo Fei who was covered in blood, but when he heard Zhuo Fei say death so lightly, the fear in his heart became more and more intense, and George, who seemed to have forgotten that he was still in the church, took out his small wine jug and poured it hard, which finally made his expression look better. Zhuo Fei stared at the other party's shaking right hand, and then smiled, "Mr. George, I don't think you should be afraid, because God knows your difficulties, so he sent me to help you and these poor people." ”

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the other people in the church, Zhuo Fei helped the pale-faced Pastor George to sit down on the bench, and then jumped on the bench again and shouted to the crowd gathered in the church, "The Japanese army has entered the city, the defense line of the national army has almost collapsed, and the entry of a large number of Japanese troops into the city has become a foregone conclusion." What I want to say is that there is an international security zone on Guangzhou Road, and although I don't know how the security zone compares to here, I know that it will be much safer than here, and if you leave here and go to the safe zone now, you may be able to reach the safe zone before the Japanese army enters the city in a big way. ”

As soon as Zhuo Fei's words fell, the originally silent church instantly became noisy, some were already packing up their luggage to summon their families, and some were scolding at Zhuo Fei, but more people were just motionless with blank faces. The hustle and bustle in the church suddenly made Zhuo Fei impatient, and then turned the shell gun and fired three shots at a long lake in the church, which instantly restored the church to its previous silence.

"Everyone's life should be in their own hands, I didn't force you to leave here, I want to say, when the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers were pressed against their chests, were you ready to die? Should you be like a lamb to the slaughter and let the Japanese soldiers take your life? Go to the safe zone as I say, as you please, but I'm not optimistic about it, and I'm sure Pastor George won't be able to protect each and every one of you. ”

"How do we know you're not lying to us? Besides, there is still a long way to go from here to Guangzhou, and there are wars everywhere in the city, and I don't know if we have the life to run to the safe zone you mentioned. Zhuo Fei's shooting triggered the rebellious psychology of some of these civilians, and they immediately shouted at Zhuo Fei and raised their own questions.

"Of course I can't guarantee that every one of you will make it to safety alive, and why should I guarantee you?" Zhuo Fei's words caused an uproar, and even the civilians who were packing up their things stopped their movements. "As I said just now, your life and death are all up to you, I am not your relatives and friends, nor am I a soldier who eats imperial food, all I can do is to tell you the location of the safe zone, as for whether you go to the safe zone or not, it doesn't matter much to me."

didn't care about the civilians who continued to shout at him, Zhuo Fei looked at the defeated soldiers mixed in the midst of the civilians with an indifferent face, "You are all soldiers, and you should also know the Japanese army's methods of treating prisoners of war, I don't think you can survive by disguised as civilians, the Japanese army has too many means to identify your military identity." I can only give you two suggestions, either go to Rujiangmen and walk down the dock to cross the river to join your troops, or go out and pick up a gun and fight the Japanese army to the death, at least you can still die like a man, it is better than being killed by the Japanese soldiers like slaughtering cattle and sheep. ”

As soon as Zhuo Fei's words were finished, as if it was a timely situation, the door of the church was vigorously pushed open again, and more than a dozen civilians with large bags and small bags rushed in from outside, shouting incessantly, "Japanese soldiers, Japanese soldiers are coming, they have killed many people, whether they are civilians or soldiers." Hundreds of people in the church immediately went into chaos, and even Pastor George, who was sitting on the pews, shouted in horror.
