"Chief of Staff, don't we recognize identity? You are the chief of staff of the Teaching Corps, and as long as you stand up, these soldiers will obey your command. ”

In a corner of the northern entrance of the narrow passage of life, watching the steady stream of soldiers leaving the safe zone, a young man in civilian clothes asked a middle-aged man next to him, who was also dressed in civilian clothes, suspiciously.

"From now on, I, Qiu someone, am just an ordinary captain and company commander of the teaching corps, you are a soldier under me." The middle-aged man said.

"Chief of Staff... The young man was very puzzled, and after seeing the other party's stern eyes, he chose to compromise, "It's Company Commander Qiu." ”

Qiu Qingquan didn't want to go out in the open, but the defense of Nanjing disgraced the face of the entire national army.

Except for a few people, the vast majority of high-ranking generals threw their troops and ran away.

Although Gui Yongqing also called Qiu Qingquan before escaping, he thought that the brigade and regiment below didn't know the news, so he took the initiative to stay, instead of being ordered by Gui Yongqing to stay as Leng Jie thought.

Of course, this does not change the fact that Gui Yongqing has become a deserter.

Although Qiu Qingquan was only a colonel, he was the chief of staff of the teaching corps, and he could be regarded as one of the high-ranking generals in the army defending Nanjing.

Originally, these low-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers were very dissatisfied with these high-ranking generals, if he admitted it now, wouldn't it be more than lucky?

This is also the reason why Sun Yuanliang did not come out at this time, and I believe that those officers and soldiers of the 88th Division will definitely be able to eat him.

So for the sake of prudence, Qiu Qingquan chose to conceal his identity.

Considering that there were a lot of people teaching the corps here in Xinjiekou, he also put on makeup, wrapped half of his face with a bandage, and even covered one of his eyes. As long as you are not particularly familiar with him, it is difficult to recognize him.

But among the resistance forces outside the security zone, there are really people who are more familiar with Qiu Qingquan. Liao Yaoxiang is counted as one, and Guo Qi is also counted, how long he can hide it depends on Qiu Qingquan's ability.

And at the southern end of this life passage, that is, in the small building that the Japanese army focused on defending before, Liao Yaoxiang, who was ordered to be in danger, was arranging how to defend here.

Although hundreds of guns, as well as light and heavy machine gun mortars, had been brought in from Xinjiekou more than an hour earlier, the rabble of various units under his command had been formed.

It may be that some of these soldiers are elite troops, but now they are in various units, which is not conducive to defense.

And Leng Jie directly threw this heavy responsibility to him, which made him also have an illusion. Why does the other party trust him so much? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to keep it?

"Deputy Battalion Commander Yang, you have a lot of people, and my suggestion is that you and I each bring some people to defend the east and west sides of this passage. You are in charge of the west, I am in charge of the east, and if there is a situation, let me know in time.

I don't know what Deputy Battalion Commander Yang thinks? Liao Yaoxiang looked at Yang Yi.

"No problem, my life belongs to those dead brothers anyway. Rest assured, Chief Liao, my side will definitely do its best to hold the position and buy more time for the brothers in the security zone. Yang Yi nodded, with a resolute expression.

It can be said that Yang Yi is not living for himself now, but for those brothers who died in battle.

In terms of tragedy, the 88th Division should have been the worst in the defense of Nanjing, and the two brigade commanders died in the Yuhuatai position.

It's a pity to have a superior like Sun Yuanliang!

"Deputy Battalion Commander Yang, then it's decided. Now there are 30 light machine guns and six heavy machine guns, and you and I are divided in half.

One thing I might caution is to place machine gun emplacements on both sides of the street as much as possible, especially in concrete buildings.

On the streets, not too many troops are needed, and in addition to vain losses, they do not play much role in holding this passage. Thinking of the previous situation in the defense of Nanjing, Liao Yaoxiang also summed up some problems.

Placing defensive positions on the streets will result in greater losses and more difficulty in holding positions.

In such complex street battles, on the contrary, it is possible to set up machine gun emplacements in buildings on both sides, and on the streets, but not too much.

"No problem!" Yang Yi nodded and did not object.

After all, Liao Yaoxiang is the chief of staff of the lieutenant colonel, although he is not his direct superior, but he is also a commander.

So the two began to arrange defensive positions according to their actual conditions, and as for the manpower problem, they directly grasped the ones that came out of the security zone. Whoever is caught, they will be recruited in, regardless of whether the other party wants to or not.

Before the troops under their respective commands could set up their defensive positions, the Japanese attacked.

Can you not call?

If it drags on any longer, more and more soldiers will come out of the safe zone, and of course all of them will come out enough.

But since last night, a total of 13,400 people, including Liao Yaoxiang and others who were guarding the life passage, have come out of the safe zone, and as the news spreads that they can leave the safe zone, more and more people will come out of the safe zone.

After all, the radio has not been broadcast in vain these days, and there are still some effects, which are enough to arouse the blood of some people.

After all, they are all soldiers, who would have thought of being a coward?

"Deputy Yang Ying, there are a lot of devils...

Seeing the dense Japanese soldiers appearing from the streets in the distance, a soldier next to Yang Yi was a little worried.

The Japanese troops who appeared in their sight numbered three or four hundred, to say the least, and they defended the west with less than three hundred.

According to previous experience, they were no match for the Japanese army at all.

"Smack!"

Yang Yi directly knocked over the soldier's hat and said sharply, "If you are afraid of death, go back to the safe zone for me, Lao Tzu does not accept misbreeds here." ”

"Call me!"

Saying that, Yang Yi aimed at a Japanese soldier Cao led by him, which was a 'bang' shot, and the military Cao fell in a pool of blood before he could react.

His shot naturally stabbed the hornet's nest, and those Japanese soldiers immediately launched a charge against the positions defended by Yang Yi and others.

In the screams of the Japanese army, the 18 light and heavy machine guns in Yang Yi's hands all fired, like 18 tongues of fire flying towards the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and dozens of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground at one time, and even some Japanese soldiers were directly hit in the face beyond their faces and limbs.

Although the Japanese army suffered a lot of losses, Yang Yi was not happy, but scolded there.

"Fuck, who let them all fire? Don't know about hidden fire? ”

"Sir, they said they saw the devil coming!"

"I saw it too, but who made them all fire? Isn't this telling the devils that there are machine guns here? Go and give the order and tell them to transfer me ... ”

Before Yang Yi could finish speaking, an explosion sounded from the second floor opposite, and several soldiers were blown up and fell on the street, and the entire window became a big hole.

Seeing this, Yang Yi was a little angry, obviously the Japanese army also saw the distribution of his firepower from the moment just now, and began to clear them one by one.

"Come on, let me find a way to occupy the tall building on the right side of the Japanese army!"

At the beginning of the fierce battle here, people kept coming out of the safe zone through the life passage, and then headed towards the core position of Xinjiekou.

There were also people with weapons who stayed to participate in the blockade, but many more were dissuaded and went to Xinjiekou.

Compared to here, the situation at Xinjiekou is even more severe.

Because the Japanese army is storming the core position of Xinjiekou.
