"Zhao Dameng, you must protect Xiao Ting's safety, her life is worth more than the two of us!" Xiao Jian said: "You disguise yourself as devils and bring enough bullets. ”

"Please rest assured that the regiment commander will complete the task." Zhao Dameng said as he plucked the remaining ** from the dead body of the devil on the ground. This kind of **than hand** is more powerful.

"You guys are waiting for me at Yuhuatai!" He decided to fight the enemy alone.

Zhao Dameng said: "No, regiment leader, you have to go together, I am your guard, protecting your safety, it is my job, one more person, one more helper." I'm not at ease if you go alone! ”

"You don't have to worry about my safety. I'll protect myself. Shimonoseki has been occupied by devils. No matter how much you eat, it's useless. I'm enough for one person. Your mission is to bring her safely to Yuhuatai. Then, find a safe place to hide and wait for me! Live well. Our lives are precious. The little devil is in Nanjing for a day, and we can't die. Keeping Xiao Ting safe is my task for you, remember: her life is more important than the two of us. ”

"Commander, it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

Don't worry, I'll be fine, Commander Xiao is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, I know, there is a strange custom in the country of Japan, and I am very respectful to the heroes of the enemy country, and they will not embarrass me. If they stop me, I'm going to pay a heavy price for little Japan. "Xiao Jian is ready to die with the enemy. His whole body was already tied to the fierce **, and once it exploded, his life would be exhausted within thirty meters.

Xiao Ting said: "Xiao Jian, I don't worry about you going alone, I want to be with you." ”

"Xiao Ting, have you forgotten your mission?" Xiao Jian said: "The three of us, Zhao Dameng and I can die." It's just that you can't die. You are a journalist, and your mission is to restore the truth of history, the atrocities of little Japan in Nanjing have deviated from the principles of human warfare, and they kill, rob, and rape women on Chinese soil every day. Committed an unforgivable crime. Your mission is to shoot and save it with your camera, and this is the evidence of the little devil's crime. History is fair. One day in the future, the crimes committed by the little devils in Nanjing will be judged by history fairly. It's an extremely dangerous job, you can die at any time, you have to pay attention to your own safety, you can't die, you can't die! ”

"Well, I'll listen to you. Don't forget your promise, my father sacrificed his life for the country, you are my only relative, you must come back alive. We are waiting for you in Yuhuatai. If you don't bring back my father's body, I'll build a well-dressed tomb in Yuhuatai. I'm going to dig a grave for my father. Yuhuatai is a pain in my father's heart! Thousands of officers and men of the gendarmerie died in Yuhuatai. ”

"Don't worry, Commander Xiao Shanling is the person I admire the most in my life, he is the pride of our Chinese nation, if every Chinese loves his country like him, faces foreign aggression, fights bloody battles, and is fearless, Little Japan will never be so rampant!" I hate the loss of power and humiliation of the country at the moment of national survival, and the surrender of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to the invaders. I'm desperate to bring back the Commander's body! Xiao Jian said resolutely: "I won't let you down, Da Meng, let's take down all the little devils!" ”

Xiao Jian said as he took out ten ** from the dead body of the devil on the ground, and three *** full of bullets. Two pistols were handed to Xiao Ting.

Xiao Jian got on a motorcycle and left, Xiao Ting looked at Xiao Jian's back and muttered: "Daddy, may you protect him from heaven and return safely!" ”

Xiao Shanling, the word Tienong, was born on June 11, 1892 in Yiyang County, Daquan Township, Sifang Mountain Village, Xiao Jiawan a family of the third "Xiucai" famous tile house, at that time there was a pair of couplets on the lintel that are still remembered by the children and grandchildren;

Xiucai is famous, but he likes the three generations of uncles, brothers, fathers, sons and grandsons.

The Han family did not have a sumptuous feast, and fortunately, the relatives and friends of the clan came to Yanhe eight times.

Judging from the environment in which Xiao Shanling was born and this couplet, whether it was written by Xiao's ancestors or asked someone to catch a knife, Xiao Shanling was born in an ordinary well-off peasant family with a certain amount of cultural knowledge in Chinese tradition.

However. It can be said that China's feudal society was in full decline, the national self-esteem was seriously hurt and hit, and the great powers arbitrarily created injustice in China, and it was also an era in which China struggled in humiliation, disappointed, reflected, and rose up to improve itself.

Hunan, although geographically located in the central region of China, but due to the special political geographical location formed by thousands of years of feudal culture, it belongs to the fringe area of the main culture of the Central Plains and the frontier of the "barbarian" culture in the south, relatively speaking, it belongs to the weak zone of feudal autocratic culture. There is no decision-making power and intervention in response to this foreign culture, history has put it in a position of "spectator" who can observe the collision of Chinese and Western cultures with a normal mentality, therefore, Hunan has become the most sober and sober observer of this cultural collision in this period, that is, in this specific human environment, Hunan has produced a large number of figures in modern Chinese history who have a decisive change and far-reaching impact on Chinese history, the earliest of which is Wei Yuan, whose "master Yi long skills to control Yi" It is China's earliest "Westernization" and the advocacy of reform and change, after that, the emergence of Zeng, Zuo, Peng, Hu and other Qing Dynasty Zhongxing famous generals, although the identity is a military strategist, in fact, they are all wise politicians, and then the founder of the Republic of China, like Cai Yi, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Tang Shengzhi, etc., and then after that, it is the founders of today's People's Republic of China, Mao **, Liu Shaoqi, Ren Bishi, Peng Dehuai. …。。 and so on, and Xiao Shanling is also a member of the humanistic environment that grows up in Hunan; Xiao Shanling graduated from Yiyang Longzhou Higher Primary School at the age of 16, and when he graduated, he made an oath in the face of China's land reparations and the loss of his teacher and humiliation of the country; "The talisman is in hand, and the demons are swept away". The following year was admitted to the Hunan Army Primary School, during the study, due to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the school was suspended, in 1914, the 22-year-old Xiao Shanling was admitted to the Baoding Military Academy again, after graduating in 1916, returned to Hunan in Cai Ju Chief. In 1926, Tang Shengzhi's Eighth Army of the Revolutionary Army was stationed in Hunan, and Xiao Shanling was appointed to Yuanjiang as the acting county governor to exercise his political skills because of Tang's appreciation. In 1928, he came back and accepted Qingdao and Jinan with his commander Wu Siyu, and was promoted all the way to March 1937, when he was promoted from colonel to major general and deputy commander-in-chief of the national military police.

1937, 8. 13 After the start of the Shanghai War, in November, Shanghai was completely lost, East China basically fell, and after a little preparation and adjustment, the Japanese army was divided into three routes, approaching Nanjing, and the capital of the Republic of China was in danger.

Nanjing, as the capital of the country, is naturally of great significance, as it is not only a symbol of occupation by the belligerents, but also a symbol of the humiliation of the occupied countries. In the face of the Japanese occupation of Tangshan, Wuhu and other places on the outskirts of Nanjing, most of the party-state dignitaries and wealthy celebrities fled with their concubines.

Chiang Kai-shek, in the face of the current situation of this great enemy and the peril of the country, convened three successive meetings of military and political staff on November 8 to discuss matters related to the defense of Nanjing, and Xiao Shanling also attended as an observer. At the meeting, there were opinions and arguments, which can be divided into four opinions; 1。 Judging from the situation of Japan's invasion of Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other places, they have accumulated a complete set of experience in attacking the city, and holding on to Nanjing is equivalent to destroying the city. 2。 The Lord descends, this faction is a bit like Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country" view, it stands to reason that this view usually has no market, because the hat of "traitor" and "traitor" can crush people to death at any time, but at this critical moment of life and death, it occupies a lot of weight, the specific opinion is; The people moved west as planned, temporarily avoided a head-on decisive battle with the Japanese army, and surrendered in the name of Nanjing City, sparing the lives of the people of the city. 3。 The main battle, the number of people who hold this view can be said to be the least, specifically only Tang Shengzhi and Xiao Shanling, but it is the high-profile that can most overwhelm other views at the meeting; The duty of a soldier is to defend the country and sacrifice his life for the country, which is the duty of a soldier. As the commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie, Tang Shengzhi finally said categorically; You can all go, I have decided to live and die with Nanjing.

According to the information consulted by the History and Political Bureau of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense; "Although he is accustomed to military affairs, he is gentle and elegant, has no ill words, and cannot be exported, but is meticulous, loyal and diligent, strict but not slow, wide and authoritative, and is admired by his subordinates."

After the Battle of Nanjing, the Kuomintang capital moved westward as planned. Gu Zhenglun, commander of the Nanjing Kuomintang military police, commander of the Nanjing garrison and commander of air defense, flew to Wuhan for medical treatment due to illness, and the post of "three commanders" was given full authority to Xiao Shanling as an agent, while Nanjing Mayor Ma Chaojun escaped with his wife in danger, and the director of the capital police moved to Chongqing to defend the Republic of China. On the eve of the Battle of Nanjing, Xiao Shanling was entrusted with so many important duties, which can be said to be a miracle in the world's military history.

The Japanese army attacked Nanjing with seven divisions and 120,000 elite soldiers, and the weapons of the attack included planes, tanks, and warships, thus forming a three-dimensional encirclement of Nanjing. However, Xiao Shanling guarded only 10,000 elite gendarmes directly under Xiao Shan, 30,000 troops directly under the two army divisions and engineer units, plus the "three commanders" troops temporarily taken over and non-commissioned officers and students of various military academies, a total of 110,000 regular troops. The weapons were only conventional army weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and mountain artillery, which were obviously inferior to the Japanese army in terms of numbers and armament.

The battle began on November 18, 1937, and Nanjing fell on December 13, lasting 26 days and nights. During this period, we can learn about the footage of film playback;

On December 8, Chiang Kai-shek ordered three emergency orders in a row; Tang Shengzhi was summoned to convene an emergency military meeting, and under the urging of Xiao Shanling several times, Tang Shengzhi boarded the plane to serve Chongqing, and the post of commander of the national military police was handed over to Xiao Shanling with full powers. On the same day, Chen Jichuan, a subordinate of the township, interviewed the headquarters and helped Xiao Shanling analyze the current situation; "The defenders are backward in equipment, there is no hope for reinforcements, the defending troops are temporarily put together, it is difficult to command, and although the soldiers are brave, they sacrifice heavy ......", and advised Xiao Shan to "adapt to the situation and plan for safety". Xiao Shanling pondered for a long time and replied resolutely; "Ordered to defend the capital, there is no way to defend, there is no way to fight the party-state, there is no way to kill the enemy, there is no way to fight the old and young in Jinling, greedy for life and afraid of death, bow down and call slaves, what face to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, I go, what should the people of Nanjing do"?

On December 9, Chen Jichuan once again found the temporary command post in Xinjiekou and persuaded him to retreat as soon as possible, and Xiao Shanling replied awe-inspiringly; "Now the situation has been chaotic, each only cares about fleeing for their lives, the city is full of brave scattered soldiers, do not listen to the command, the military and the people's hearts can not be stable, it is the duty of the soldiers to defend the land for the country, I should be loyal to the country, laugh and lie on the battlefield, defend Nanjing, I will make an early decision!" His heroic spirit of seeing death as if he was at home shocked Chen.

At 3 p.m. on December 12, Tang Shengzhi and Chiang Kai-shek telegraphed; "Breakout and retreat on all fronts". Xiao Shanling was ordered to be the commander-in-chief of the river crossing, and all corps broke through at the designated location.

After the order to break through was issued, except for the 83rd Army and the 66th Army to break through around Qixia Mountain according to the military order, the rest of the 74th Army, 72nd Army, 71st Army, 87th Division, and 88th Division all seized the road and rushed to Xiaguan, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians rushed to cross the border and became a mess. From Rujiangmen to Xiaguan, there are crowds of people, calling the sky and the earth, scrambling to be the first, and the water is impassable. Soldiers fired guns at will, trampled on each other, trampled to death, and killed countless people.

Front; The vast Yangtze River, the waves are rolling, the weather is cold and the water is cold, and there is no boat to cross the river. inside the city; The Japanese army frantically pursued and killed, guns and shells, smoke and dust billowed to the sky, and flames soared into the sky. River; The Japanese warships went on a rampage, overturning the river and the sea, and the sky; Japanese planes roared and bombed, machine guns swept through, and the ground shook.

In order to escape for their lives, people poured into the Yangtze River, and people on the river struggled with each other, drowning and freezing to death.

Xiao Shanling was as calm as iron, and decisively ordered Luo Yousheng, the captain of the military police, to take most of the gendarmes to Snake Mountain and Longpan Mountain to block the Japanese army, and he led his troops to dismantle houses and build rafts to cover the soldiers and civilians crossing the river. Throughout the night, Xiao Shanling was pushed onto the raft by his subordinates several times, but he broke free several times and went ashore to command the cover of the raft and rush to cross, until the morning of December 13, two-thirds of the soldiers and civilians in Xiaguan were still unable to cross the river.

At about 7 o'clock, 7,000 Japanese cavalry and three warships approached the river, and attacked us by water, land and air to rush across the river. Seeing the Japanese army frantically slaughtering our soldiers and civilians crossing the river, General Xiao, who was as calm as iron, could no longer be calm, exploded his lungs with blood, and shouted loudly; "Kill yourself and become a benevolent, today is also"! With his hands strapped, he took the lead and led his troops to rush towards the Japanese cavalry, and in the continuous explosions, the Japanese troops fell off their horses one after another...... The Japanese army wanted to capture him alive, but they never shot him, and the gendarmes around him were shot one by one, and in the face of the Japanese army's encirclement, he chose to commit suicide.

Fall of Nanjing.

Xiao Shanling, commander of the military police, commander of the Nanjing garrison, commander of air defense, commander of crossing the river, mayor of Nanjing, and director of the Capital Police Department, of the Chinese nation, wrote a tragic national anthem of the Chinese nation that will never give in at 7 o'clock on December 13, 1937 at the age of 45!

Yiyang, a small city in Hunan, has formed an indissoluble love affair with this famous city of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties since entering modern history; In March 1853, the Taiping army captured the capital of Nanjing, and the main naval force was the Yiyang helmsman. In July 1864, the Hunan army captured the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, and the military commander was Wu Jiabang, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division in Yiyang. In December 1937, Xiao Shan, commander-in-chief of the Battle of Nanjing, ordered the blood to be spilled in Jinling...... The results of the three wars all stained the Yangtze River red.

Besides, Xiao Jian came to Xiaguan at an astonishing speed, and Xiaguan at this moment has been completely controlled by the Japanese army. During the retreat, the national army suffered heavy casualties. The rest became prisoners of the Japanese army. There were many corpses along the way. There were national troops, and there were residents who fled from the city.

Xiao Jian came to the riverside and found a corpse lying by the river, covered with a white cloth, surrounded by heavily armed devils. Among them, one of the Japanese generals bowed deeply to the corpse lying on the ground. All the Japanese soldiers also saluted the corpses on the ground. Who is this Japanese general? Who is the man lying on the ground? Xiao Jian felt very familiar, and when the lieutenant general of the Japanese army saluted again, he finally saw his face clearly: Sasaki. Chimiko's father, his teacher in Japan. In his memory, he was opposed to the continuation of the war of aggression against China. He was the pioneer of the 918 incident, the official to the lieutenant general, after returning to China, he took the initiative to ask to be an ordinary teacher in the non-commissioned officer school, but unexpectedly, he still came.

Who was the corpse lying on the ground, he couldn't see the corpse's face clearly, but he saw the corpse's feet exposed, he recognized the pair of somewhat worn military yellow military shoes, and he walked over to the corpse without hesitation......
