day, early morning.

Due to the appearance of a unit of the Japanese Sixth Division near Shimonoseki, the 100,000 or so routs entrenched in the vicinity of Rujiangmen and Shimonoseki finally began to retreat into the city.

However, instead of returning to the battlefield, they flocked to the international safe zones established by Rabe and other foreigners, because the leaflets of Matsui Ishone's walk made these safe zones used by the rout soldiers as safe havens.

These soldiers who fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for many days finally chose to believe the Japanese nonsense, laid down their weapons and took off their military uniforms like cowards, and hid in the safe zone, instead of taking up arms and fighting with the Japanese army.

Of course, Leng Jie can't blame these people, in fact, most of these defeated soldiers are also poor worms, a group of poor worms abandoned by their bosses.

Since the people in the garrison headquarters have run away, no one can command them, and their hearts are cold, so they became cowards, a group of cowards who are willing to die miserably.

"Big brother!" In the headquarters building of the Central News Agency, seeing Leng Jie coming, Han Bin hurriedly stood up and asked, "When will we break through?" ”

"Now is not the time to break through, if I leave, what will happen to the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing? The high-ranking members of the national army knew that they had fled and abandoned these people and soldiers, and although I could not take them all out, I could take some of them out. Leng Jie said in a deep voice.

Han Bin nodded, "Big brother, what can I do?" I'm also a soldier, so let me go to the front too! ”

"You?" Leng Jie shook his head, "You can't, you were just a pilot before, this kind of battle is too cruel, big brother, I don't want you to have an accident." You are responsible for distributing newspapers and washing photos, these photos are all evidence of the Japanese army's crimes, and they must be preserved!

I'll tell you when the breakout comes! ”

Han Bin was also a little unwilling, but he didn't continue to insist in the end, I don't know if he was afraid or what.

"Big brother, before I go, I hope to bring my friends with me!"

"Where are they?"

"Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences!"

"There? No problem, before you break out, I'll have someone with you to bring those friends out of here! Leng Jie thought for a while and nodded.

Seeing that the sky was about to light up in the distance, Leng Jie did not stay here, but took a group of men to the south, where there was a large Japanese army.

As soon as it dawns, it means that Nanjing is completely broken!

。。。。。。

"Instructor Li, why are we going out of the city from the Zhonghua Gate? Wouldn't it be better to walk from the Tongji Gate? ”

In the midst of the ruins, a second lieutenant of the Central Army asked a captain on the side, and around them were dozens of soldiers, all of whom were of the Central Army and the uniforms of the Teaching Corps.

As for why the soldiers of the teaching corps came to the Zhonghua Gate position, it is not known.

"Don't you know what the most dangerous place is the safest place? Later, after the Japanese army entered the city, we will find a way to get out of the place where the city wall has collapsed, not during the day, but at night! Instructor Li next to him said.

Instructor Li's name is Li Jing, and he is a captain instructor in the teaching team of the 2nd Brigade of the Teaching Corps.

It can be said that the worst thing in the entire teaching corps is the Second Brigade, because the commander of the Second Brigade, Hu Qiru, has already run away, and the officers and soldiers below do not know the news of the retreat, and they will only know about it later.

The 1st and 3rd brigades are better.

The brigade commander of the 1st Brigade was the deputy captain of the teaching corps, and after Gui Yongqing ran, he took the headquarters headquarters and part of the 1st Regiment to break through to the front, as for whether the breakthrough was successful, it is not known.

Ma Weilong, the commander of the 3rd Brigade, led the 5th Regiment (Ma Weilong was also the commander of the 5th Regiment) to break through the gap in the Japanese camp in Purple Mountain.

However, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th regiments, as well as the artillery regiment, the engineer regiment, and the baggage battalion (in fact, it should be called the baggage regiment, but the staffing has not changed, and it is the same as the previous baggage battalion period) did not choose to break through from the front.

Some stayed and held out, while many more fled into safety.

Instructor Li and some of the soldiers of the teaching team learned the news of the retreat relatively early, and when the second brigade was leaderless, they saw that there was no hope of retreating from Xiaguan, so they turned back and broke through in the direction of Zhonghua Gate.

Just when these dozens of people found a place to hide, the sound of fierce fighting came from the direction of Zhonghua Gate.

Are there still people holding the Zhonghua Gate position?

Everyone in the teaching team hesitated, but in the end they did not send troops, but hid in the dark.

After waiting for a while, everyone heard a rumbling sound, and black smoke was still rising in the distance, and they didn't need to think about it to know that it was a devil tank.

At this time, there was a devil tank, and the people of the teaching team did not dare to spear it.

However, under the gaze of everyone, a group of hundreds of panicked students and civilians were running in the direction of the city. Behind these students, there were dozens of soldiers of the Central Army, who were fighting and retreating, but under the attack of the Japanese army, these dozens of soldiers of the Central Army were gradually defeated, and many of them were hit and then fell to the ground and died.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers behind this group of soldiers and civilians showed their figures, two tanks, followed by more than 100 Japanese soldiers, who stopped from time to time to raise their guns and shoot.

Superb marksmanship and tank machine guns kept harvesting the dozens of embarrassed soldiers of the Central Army, and in just a few minutes, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground.

"Instructor Li, it seems to be one of us? I don't know if it's the 51st Division, or the 88th Division. To save or not to save? A second lieutenant came to Li Jing's ear and asked.

"Save what? These devils have tanks, the size should be a squadron, if we have a few hundred people, we can fight, we have dozens of people, how to fight?

When these devils are gone, we will just go out of the city, and you still care about their lives and deaths at this time? They don't care, sir! Another lieutenant said.

The second lieutenant in the latter was right, under the leadership of Wang Yaowu, thousands of people of the 51st Division had crossed the Yangtze River, and if the 51st Division was opposite, it could only be said to have been abandoned; If it was the 88th Division, their division commander Sun Yuanliang ran away before the Japanese army broke through the city.

"Do you just watch them die in front of us?" The second lieutenant in front was a little unbearable.

"Just one kilometer, we can get out of the city, brothers still want to live?"

Saying that, the dozens of soldiers of the teaching team around him looked over, and Li Jing looked at these people's full desire to survive, and hesitated.

And at this time, shouts came from the battlefield not far away.

"Brothers, it is the duty of our soldiers to protect our countrymen. The commanders have all run away, and since we stayed, we are determined to fight the devil to the end.

Behind us, there are more than a hundred civilians, and you have also seen the atrocities of the Japanese army, what will happen if those young schoolgirls fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

Hold on to it and buy them time! ”

"Yes, sir!"

A major stood up and said loudly, and the soldiers who had been retreating hesitated for a moment before stopping, and they all looked for a place to hide and block the Japanese army.

And seeing this situation, Li Jing couldn't help it, "Come on, let's go reinforce these brothers!" ”

"Instructor Li, we're about to leave the city!"

"Didn't you hear me? Reinforcements these brothers, we are all soldiers, and we are still running a fart, I won't run away! Li Jing looked angrily at the second lieutenant in front of him.

"Yes!".

"The two of you each take ten men to the flank, attack from the flank of the Japanese army, and the rest follow me!"

"Yes!"
