December 9th. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Japanese army won a complete victory on three fronts, the swift army was invincible, and the Chinese defenders were crushed. At this time, President Kaishen had already issued a combat order that meant that he would be ruined, and then he himself flew to the new capital, Chongqing. Naturally, news circulated only among the upper echelons of the government army, and the vast majority of Chinese soldiers and civilians still believed that their leaders would live and die with the entire city of Nanjing.

The Chizuki sisters, who were supposed to report to Kaga, received an urgent mission. The two of them were asked to immediately infiltrate the city of Nanjing and secretly escort several Chinese democrats to evacuate. Kaga provides aerial reconnaissance so that the Chizuki sisters can sneak in. There are no Red Party forces in Nanjing City, and it is not easy for the Qianyue Sisters to complete this task at the forefront of the war.

On the night of the 9th, Qianyue Meiling and Qianyue Meixu disguised themselves and blended into Nanjing City. A large number of defenders were stationed on the outskirts of the city. According to intelligence, at least 150,000 Chinese ace troops were gathered in Nanjing, which was a decrease compared to the number of troops holding Shanghai, but this time the morale was even higher.

If it weren't for the waterway of the entire city of Nanjing, the Qianyue sisters would not have to enter through the city gate in disguise, but all the ships in Nanjing City were scuttled, and once they came in by boat, they would definitely be beaten into a sieve by Chinese machine guns.

The one who brought the two into the city was a security captain installed by the Red Party, but even if there was an internal response, the two went through a round of searches and inquiries when they entered the city.

"You're two guests from abroad, right?"

Before they reached the pick-up point, the Chizuki sisters met several people dressed as newspaper reporters. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets, only Chinese soldiers patrolling constantly.

The other party first showed the designated token - the membership card of the Youth Club. "It's not convenient here, please take a step to talk to us."

As the reporter led the way, Chizuki Meiling and Chizuki Mio came to a church, which covers a large area and has a British flag hanging at the door.

"This is Father Carbone's church, which was built with the joint efforts of British businessmen, and it is very safe."

The reporter who walked in front said this, and then explained in English to the nun who opened the door.

"Oh, you have guests? Then please come in. The Lord will bless you. The middle-aged nun seemed very enthusiastic and asked if she wanted to try the apple pie when she entered the door.

In the secluded confessional room, the Chizuki sisters meet their first target. Mr. Liu, the current vice president of the Youth Club, is nearly 50 years old, but he doesn't look old. But along the way, they heard about the vice president's stinky temper.

"Since Mr. Liu's guest is here. I'll quit first. "An old priest with a gray beard walked out of the confessional room, which made Sister Chizuki feel very ironic. For they will save a few who cannot die in the presence of the Lord with false justice.

"Excuse me, Father Carbon." The reporters who led the way had great respect for the priest, who seemed to be a philanthropist.

But when he passed by Sister Qianyue, he couldn't help but stop and say a word. "Don't listen to the devil's sophistry, I see the devil's claw prints in you."

"Don't mind, the priest likes to say strange things, because it's his job to preach." The reporter on the side saw Sister Qianyue's puzzled expressions and explained.

The work of persuading Mr. Liu was relatively smooth, although he was a stinky uncle, but with the invitation telegram from the Yan'an Red Party Headquarters, the other party readily agreed to the request to go to Wuhan to rebuild the newspaper.

The important person persuaded one, and the Chizuki sisters were also relieved. They thought it would be a particularly difficult job, but in fact, thanks to their cooperation with the Chinese Red Party, the two of them were able to convince each other without much talk. Should it be said that these democrats are too kind, or that they are bent on the rise and fall of the country and ignore too many unimportant things.

But before the Chizuki sisters could rest in the church for one night, it was just dawn. Instead of the sun rising in the southeast of the city of Nanjing, a deafening sound of artillery fire sounded.

The Chizuki sisters, who woke up from their sleep, couldn't help but feel the urgency of time. Originally, the information received was that it would take another three days for the army outside the city to launch a general attack. But listening to the heavy artillery, it is clear that the general attack is ahead.

"Sister. Completing tasks is a priority, there is no time. ”

Qianyue Meiling went out first, intending to find out about the situation outside, but a reporter from the Youth Club and a middle-aged nun who came in a hurry stopped him. "Miss Bai. Now there is chaos on the streets. Please wait at the church. We've contacted the other two and they'll be over this afternoon. ”

On the other hand, after a few days of savage life in the mountains, the deep Ming Autumn Crane finally found the army, which happened to be a wing of the 6th Division.

"The 24th Wing is all gone?"

The other party's wing Shao Zuo obviously couldn't believe Shen Ming Qiuhe's words, and asked several times in a row, until Shen Ming Qiu Crane took out Kanda Shaozuo's military ID card from his tattered military pants, and he didn't believe it.

"This ...... It's horrible. It's unbelievable, Kanda has been martyred. The other party held the military ID card of his old friend, and was stunned for a long time, and then he thought of the weak Shenming Qiuhe. I will inform Lieutenant General Tani Shou immediately. The blood debt will be paid in blood! ”

Shen Ming Qiuhe didn't have the strength to stop the other party's "loyalty" rhetoric, and letting her, the eldest lady, spend a few days with wild beasts in the mountains, which was enough to drive her crazy. She now just wants to return home as soon as possible and leave the dangerous front lines of war.

"That's enough, prepare a guard for me. I will return to Shanghai immediately to report on my work. ”

Shen Ming Qiuhe's request, the other party directly shook his head and refused. "I'm sorry, Shen Ming Shaozo. The order received by our wing was to rush to the Nanjing battlefield as soon as possible to conduct operations. Moreover, these are extraordinary times, and you are prone to danger on the way back alone. It is better to assemble with us and the large force of Lieutenant General Gu Shou, and then you can return to Shanghai with the transport force. ”

No matter how unwilling the deep song autumn crane is, he must nod and agree. After all, she is alone now and needs to rely on each other. As the other party said, it would be better for her to explain the destruction of the 24th Wing to Lieutenant General Gu Shou in person. After all, now that the entire wing is gone, she, the only one who survived, is not asked.

"I understand, it's hard work."

…………

Fierce fighting continued until the 12th. The Chizuki sisters successfully completed the persuasion mission, but they encountered a problem. The three Chinese democrats could rely on their connections to lease a small boat to leave Nanjing. The two of them had planned to evacuate east of the city waiting for a plane from Kaga.

But now the entire city of Nanjing, except for the west side by the river, was surrounded by Japanese regiments, and fierce artillery fire poured down like raindrops. Not to mention that they are lurking out, even a rat, and nine times out of ten they will be blown up and killed outside the city.

Hiding in the church of the British, the Chizuki sisters made it difficult for them to evacuate.

"Valrhona, how's the war going?"

Father Calent, the nominal owner of the church, was anxiously asking the nuns who had returned from shopping for canned food. In order to avoid the confusion of many believers in the chapel, they used English.

"Very bad, the Japanese offensive was very fierce, and the Chinese defenders in the city could not hold out for long. Moreover, it is said that the officials and high-ranking officers in the city have been evacuated, and the order in the city is on the verge of collapse. There were two groups of soldiers blocking the junction of the wharf on the west side of the river, and there was chaos there, and there were many people congested at the wharf, and I heard that there was an exchange of fire there, which was terrible. Father, you know, people who are desperate for survival can do everything, so I didn't go to the docks. ”

The nun looked so panicked that the large cloth bag she was holding in her hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the metal box falling to the ground is very clear in the church. Father Carbone gave the nun a blank look and scolded loudly in Chinese: "How many lunch boxes can't hold steadily? Go wash up! ”

Mirei Chizuki and Mio Chizuki sat at the back of the chapel and listened clearly to the conversation between the priest and the nun. For them, it is relatively safe to continue to hide in this church. Even if the city of Nanjing is broken, it will become a safe area due to international factors. Over the past few days, thanks to the advantage of speaking English, the two have also developed a friendship with the priest, and they can also confirm that Father Carbone is a good old man who is honest and trustworthy, and will not say what he should not say.

In the early morning of the 13th, the Chinese defenders in Nanjing were defeated on all fronts, and behind the defeat was the aimless rout of most of the defenders. When Qianyue Meiling learned about the latest situation on the front line from the mouths of two youth club reporters, she was also shocked.

She and her sister entered the city on the evening of the 9th, when the army was still making preparations for assembly, and only three days and one night later, China claimed to be impregnable, and the original capital that was stubbornly defended fell with the momentum of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat? Shanghai has been fighting for more than three months, and Nanjing can only hold for 3 days?

Until now, she didn't have the heart to blame the "black" who assigned the task, and it is estimated that even "black" would not have expected it.

"Miss Bai, please rest assured, this place is very safe. Our Youth Club will definitely arrange a way to send the two international friends out of Nanjing as soon as possible. ”

The polite words sound good, but Qianyue Meiling is not a three-year-old child, and she knows that the remaining members of the Youth Club in Nanjing City are just a group of enthusiastic young people, and it is very good that they don't sacrifice their lives for the country in the melee.

"Thank you. On behalf of Red International, I would like to thank the Youth Club for their great support. Even if she knew that it would be in vain, Qianyue Meiling still praised these two young people, after all, they were collecting intelligence on the front line and came to inform them on purpose.

Sending away the two stunned young men who were "fearless and fearless", Chizuki Meiling woke up her sister and started pretending to be a nun. The affairs of the organization must not be exposed, and if they tell others that they are members of the Communist Red International Organization, they must hide their naval identity in Japan. Moreover, they were not stupid enough to think that using their Chinese language would make the army deer believe that the two of them were on a special mission.

Instead of waiting for Kaga to come to the rescue, it is better to hide in the church and play the role of a nun, which can save a lot of trouble.
