"Boom, boom, boom......" The mountain shook the ground.

In the sky above Yuhuatai, grenadiers, small steel cannons, and aviation ** tore the dim sky like a torrential rain towards the position held by Xiao Jian, and then, falling on the position that was blown up countless times, the sky was dark, and flesh and blood were flying......

In the underground command post, Xiao Jian stood in front of the transmitter with an uneasy expression and said, "Have you been contacted?" ”

The operator shook his head.

"Go on!"

"Boom!" A shell exploded about 10 meters from the command, almost knocking the command post over. Xiao Jian remembered that yesterday Tang Shengzhi held a military meeting above the regimental level to announce Chiang Kai-shek's retreat order. At the military meeting, the commander of the garrison, Xiao Shanling, was the first to stand up against the retreat, and stated that after the retreat, the 100,000 troops withdrew there, and the roads around Nanjing were blocked by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's purpose was obvious, which was to swallow us in one bite. Shimonoseki is the only escape route. If you want to cross the river, you have to have boats, but there are so many boats at once. Before the war, Tang Shengzhi had searched all the boats on the river. Now on the river, except for the Japanese warships swimming back and forth, there are no ships in sight. Xiao Shanling believed that retreat was a dead end. Besides, what will happen to the more than 700,000 inhabitants of the city if we are gone? In the battle of Songhu, the little devils killed prisoners of war, killed civilians, and created no man's land, and the lesson of blood tells us that the Japanese army is a group of inhumane beasts, and it has reached the point of madness. I am categorically against retreat!

Xiao Jian also expressed his opinion and supported Xiao Shanling's idea. He also proposed to emulate the ancient method of defending the city by the army and the people. I hope that Tang Shengzhi will communicate with Chiang Kai-shek and transfer troops to reinforce the war, the Sino-Japanese war has begun, and in the face of the survival of the nation, only a desperate battle can find a way out. Japan is a militaristic country, and weakness is a dead end. The bitter lesson of the 918 incident tells us that when the wolf comes, we can only pick up a gun. If Zhang Xueliang led 300,000 Northeast troops to fight to the death in the 918 Incident and did not let the little devils step into the Northeast, China's anti-Japanese history would have been rewritten.

However, Tang Shengzhi did not accept Xiao Shanling's advice and Xiao Jian's opinions, and announced the retreat order. Xiao Shanling said angrily: "Our gendarmerie will not carry out the order to retreat, and I, Xiao Shanling, will resolutely live and die with Nanjing." No way to the river. ”

The military meeting broke up unhappily. After the meeting, Xiao Jian came to the military police headquarters, Xiao Shanling let out a long sigh, and said to Xiao Jian helplessly: "Commander Long, it is difficult to support alone, but I will not cross the river." It turns out that I want you to stay in Nanjing, but the general trend is the same, you better withdraw! Staying, it's also a dead end. You can bring Xiao Ting with you! ”

At this moment, Xiao Ting walked into the office and said: "Dad, I want to be with you, I want to take pictures of the atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing, I am a reporter, it is my mission." ”

Xiao Jian said: "Please rest assured, commander, I will not leave." I also stayed in Nanjing. Never retreat! I don't believe that there is no place for me in Nanjing? I am a soldier, and it is a soldier's duty to protect my family and defend the country, and I will not leave. ”

Good! I agree with the opinion. I now order you to retreat your military police regiment and special combat team from Yutai, preserve your strength, and go to the Purple Mountain to fight guerrillas. ”

Xiao Jian said: "Okay! ”

Xiao Jian returned to reality from his memories, at this moment, Yuhuatai was surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides, the surrounding national troops had withdrawn, and his military police regiment and his special combat team had been surrounded by Japanese regiments......
