Flames rose from the sky above the port of Guangzhou, and the whistling shells exploded one after another on both sides of the strait like hailstones.

The artillery fire of the Japanese ships was ferociously attacking the military installations in the seaport of Guangzhou, with the aim of completely destroying all the combat capabilities of the Guangdong army along the sea.

The Japanese artillery first concentrated on bombarding the major wharves and warehouses in the port of Guangzhou to prevent those military supplies that were too late to be transported; It was transported by the Cantonese army or fell into the hands of other guerrillas.

Under the heavy bombardment, the seaports of Guangzhou were soon bombed beyond recognition, and they could almost be described as razed to the ground.

Of course, this amazing result was also involved in the bombing of the Japanese air force.

Moreover, under the frantic shelling of the Japanese army, not only most of the buildings near the port of Guangzhou were blown up and destroyed, but also many Guangzhou citizens; and the police in Guangzhou were killed and injured.

In the face of the fierce Japanese army, even those foreign powers did not dare to speak for a while, but they also protested sternly to the Japanese consulate in anger.

and demanded that the Japanese army immediately stop bombing Guangzhou and the major ports of Guangzhou, and naval artillery bombardment; Otherwise, these powers will impose an economic blockade on Japan.

Because Guangzhou is an important economic source and interest place for the major powers, they do not want Japan to intervene as well, and they also want to occupy Guangzhou as their own.

Of course, in response to all kinds of stern protests and threats from these foreign powers, the Japanese army continued to bomb and shell the major ports of Guangzhou without scrutiny, destroying all the military installations and barracks established by the Cantonese army in the vicinity of the seaports......

And at this time; In all areas of Guangzhou, there are many ordinary people in the streets and alleys, or the middle and upper classes are talking worriedly.

"Hey! Do you think the Cantonese army will be defeated? Now every day, there are planes of Japanese devils constantly bombing our urban areas! ”

"It's hard to say! It depends on the combat effectiveness of our Cantonese troops and their determination to fight; And weapons and equipment! Of course, we have to see if they have any strong reinforcements sent here to assist in the defense! Because the Japanese devils have a large number of tanks, planes, and artillery, as well as fleets! It's not easy to deal with these Japanese devils at all!"

"I see that there are no reinforcements for our Cantonese army! Because now the entire sea outside of Guangzhou is covered by the Japanese fleet, there are no ships of our Cantonese army to fight the war, and I don't believe that we like to eat and drink; What kind of strong combat effectiveness can the Cantonese army, which loves smuggling and playing with women, and who do not want to make progress, withstand the menacing attack of the army of Japanese devils! ”

"That's right! I'm not optimistic about them either! If it weren't for them, then our city of Guangzhou and the major ports now would not have been bombed by the planes of those devils for more than a month! ”

"That's right! Especially in the last few days, there have been more and more planes of those Japanese devils, and more and more frequent air raids have come to attack us, and my second uncle was also killed by those damn devils! “”

"Hey! Case! So let's escape from Guangzhou City with our families now! I'm sure it's not too late to help escape! We still have a lot of places to go anyway! When we get to a place where there are no devils, we are safe! ”

"Run? How to escape? Now the Japanese planes and fleets are bombarding our major ports and urban areas in full swing! In the face of increasingly dangerous situations, can we escape now? If you don't want to die, then let's think of a way, and after the Japanese air raid and the fleet shelling are over, we can immediately escape from here and move to live somewhere else! ”

"I agree! If we don't find a way to escape to a safe place now, in case the Cantonese army is defeated by the Japanese army, then my family and I will be miserable! I've heard that these damn devils have done horrible, inhuman things in our country! It seems that the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre is a bad thing done by these damned Japanese devils to exterminate humanity and lose their conscience! ”

"These Japanese devils are simply inferior to animals, and they do all kinds of evil; Murder and arson, ** captivity, any bad thing, the devil who dares to do it! If I am also capable, I really want to retaliate and slowly torture these Japanese devils to death! ”

"Me too! My family was blown up on the way home by these inhuman devil planes! I can't wait to kill all the devils now to avenge my family! ”

"Yes! If we don't leave now, I really don't know what kind of terrible fate will happen to me and my family once the Cantonese army is defeated by them! ”

"Then tell me how we should escape now, by water or by land? Or ......"

"Of course it's by land, and now the waterways are all covered with the fleets of those devils, and we still escaped from here by water, aren't we looking for death? You're so stupid! ”

"But it will take a lot of time to escape here by land, and if we encounter those ill-intentioned Cantonese soldiers along the way, or those Japanese devils who kill people like hemp, what will happen to us civilians who are defenseless and have no combat experience?"

"If General Xue Yue and the 66th Army, as well as the 64th Army were here in Guangzhou, then those Japanese devils would not be so bold to attack our Guangzhou! And our Cantonese army can even kill some more devils! ”

'Yes! I heard that General Xue Yue led the 66th Army to fight a great victory in Wanjialing and killed a lot of Japanese devils! ”

“......”

The above dialogue is the worried dialogue of those citizens of Guangzhou who have not fled.

For these words, Wang Changgui, who was still fighting desperately with the Japanese army in Zengcheng, knew nothing.

Of course, even the commander of the Fourth Route Army, Commander Yu Xmou, and Wang Jun, the chief of staff, were at a loss, and he was still holding an operational meeting discussing whether to withdraw troops from Guangzhou? Or is it better to stick to Guangzhou and Zengcheng?

"The current situation is getting more and more unfavorable for us! In particular, Japan's air raids are becoming more and more frequent and ferocious, and according to our reconnaissance, the Japanese army's troops have increased from more than 40,000 troops to more than 70,000 units and 2 teams! ”

"For the increasingly powerful Japanese army, I personally feel that we should send a telegram to Chongqing to ask for instructions, it will be better! Otherwise, if something happens, then we're in trouble! ”

"Because Chongqing will definitely take us out as scapegoats and give an explanation to the people of the whole country! At that time, the two of us will be the object of abuse by the people of the whole country, and we will become a runaway general in their eyes."

After discussing for more than an hour, Chief of Staff Wang Jun confidently glanced at all the officers who came to the meeting and said.

"I will call the chairman of the committee to ask if the city of Canton should be held on, and now we will also think of a way to slow down the Japanese offensive a little! Especially the battle in Zengcheng, I am worried that it will not be long before it will be fully occupied by the Japanese army! ”

Commander Yu Xmou waved his hand and changed the subject worriedly.
