Therefore, from 12 noon, the troops on the periphery of Nanjing retreated to the city one after another, and then quickly retreated to Jiangbei through the pontoon bridge between Xiaguan and Pukou.

Time passed minute by minute, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Nanjing garrison was only half transferred, at this time, the Jiangbei troops had already launched a fierce battle with the Japanese troops from Yangzhou in the Chuhe area, at the same time, the Japanese army also discovered the intention of the defenders in the city to evacuate, and constantly sent planes to harass, but under the blow of the air defense weapons deployed by Bai Fei in Xiaguan and other places, the Japanese planes were quickly wiped out. However, in the defense line such as Sima Mountain and the ruins of the teapot shop, Hu Zongnan's First Army suffered a lot of losses because of the previous battle in Shanghai, and after replenishing new recruits many times, its combat effectiveness declined greatly, and in the face of the menacing Japanese 18th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment, the resistance was very hard, and the situation was precarious.

After learning the situation, Xiao Shanling ordered the evacuation of the troops to speed up the pace, to more than 6 o'clock in the evening, more than 100,000 troops defending the city in Nanjing finally withdrew, at this time, the peripheral defense troops have all been evacuated, but before the withdrawal, a large number of mines were laid around the position, after the Japanese attacking troops encountered the mine array, they directly used artillery shells to open the way, and soon approached the city wall, although under the resistance of the military police unit of Xiao Shanling and some soldiers of the military police regiment directly under the central direct regiment of Bai Fei, the Japanese army has not yet entered the city for the time being, But it's only a matter of time.

Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers in the city were finally evacuated. Bai Fei ordered Xiao Shan: "Commander Xiao, there are many of you, let's withdraw first." ”

Xiao Shan ordered: "Then what should you do?" ”

Bai Fei said: "Don't worry, let's hold up for a few minutes first, and then we will retreat." ”

Xiao Shan ordered: "Since this is the case, then we will withdraw first, and you should hurry up." ”

Bai Fei nodded.

In a short time, Xiao Shanling had already withdrawn from the city defense with all the military police units. Bai Fei nodded to Xu Changsheng, Li Hu and the others, and several people with their subordinates immediately split up, and after a while, everyone ran back again.

Bai Fei said: "How is it, are you all buried?" ”

Li Hu nodded and said: "It's all buried, except for the west side, the Central Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Zhongshan Gate, Guanghua Gate, Tongji Gate, Zhonghua Gate, etc. have all been buried with a large number of explosives, and the brothers have been arranged to monitor nearby, once the Japanese army invades, it will be detonated immediately." ”

"That's good." Bai Fei nodded and said, "Now except for the special combat team, all the rest of the people will go to Xiaguan, and after meeting Wang Weiguo, they will immediately evacuate towards Jiangbei." ”

Xu Changsheng said: "Then what about you." ”

Bai Fei said: "The cannon you are carrying is going slowly, I will cover for a while, and after sending another wave of devils to the western sky, I will come immediately." ”

Xu Changsheng nodded, and immediately led the 100 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion and the artillery Xu Jie, as well as the mute and others, carrying 20 107 rocket launchers, and began to head towards Xiaguan.

Ten minutes later, loud explosions were heard at Zhonghua Gate, Zhongshan Gate, Tongji Gate, and other places, and immediately afterward, special combat personnel continued to come and gather.

Bai Fei asked, "Are you all together?" ”

Li Hu said: "There is still one left, the brother who is responsible for detonating the explosives of the Xuanwu Gate has not yet arrived..."

Before the words fell, an explosion came from the direction of Xuanwu Gate, and soon a special combat team member ran over and said to Bai Fei: "Tuanzao, the explosives have been detonated, and many devils have been killed, but on the way here, I found that there are still many wounded soldiers in the field hospital..."

Bai Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you already transfer all the wounded?" ”

The special combat member said: "I don't know, Tuanza, I guess I was just injured during the retreat..."

Bai Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, let's take a look..."

As he spoke, he ran towards the hospital with the special combat team. Fortunately, they themselves were also near the Drum Tower, not very far away, and they arrived not long after.

When I entered the hospital, I saw that there were many wounded soldiers, and there were quite a few of them, about 100 of them. Two military medical officers and a female nurse are bandaging their wounds. Bai Fei was about to step forward to negotiate with them, but when he saw the female nurse look up, Bai Fei was immediately taken aback, and shouted in a lost voice: "You... How did you end up here? ”

Who are you? It turned out to be Dr. Shi Flawless.

Shi Wufang saw Bai Fei with a little embarrassment on his face.

Bai Fei shouted angrily: "Li Hu, how did you get it? Didn't I tell you to send her away? ”

Li Hu was also surprised, and stammered: "This... I... I did get her in the car at noon... This..."

Shi Wuflawless was busy with the things at hand, and said: "Commander Bai, don't blame him, I sneaked down while he wasn't paying attention, I said, I am a member of your group, you haven't withdrawn, I won't leave, besides, there are still these wounded soldiers here, they need me..."

Bai Fei had a headache for a while, and he didn't know whether to praise her for her dedication or scold her for not knowing whether she was alive or dead, he sighed and said: "Do you know, now that the troops in the whole city have been withdrawn, and the Japanese have also attacked, you said you..."

Before the words fell, a special combat member ran in and said: "Tuanza, the Japanese army has entered the city, and about two squadrons of Japanese troops are rushing towards this side..."

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Fei immediately decided.

Li Hu and the rest of his team immediately ran towards the entrance of the hospital, and soon fierce gunfire was heard outside.

"The situation is very dangerous now, we have to move immediately, and if we delay any longer, we will soon be under siege." Bai Fei couldn't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and said to Shi Wufang in a fierce voice.

Shi Wufang was also very anxious, pointing at the wounded soldiers and said, "But what about them?" ”

In fact, all the soldiers who could walk, even if they had some injuries on their bodies, most of them were evacuated with the large army, and most of the wounded soldiers left behind were injured in the lower limbs, and some of them were extremely seriously injured, which was extremely inconvenient for walking. However, the special combat team in Bai Fei's hands has made up for 200 people in Shanghai, and then after a series of major battles, there are only about 100 people left, and now they have to fight as cover, and there is no extra manpower to take care of these wounded soldiers.

When Bai Fei was in a dilemma, the radio communication equipment carried by a special combat team member rang, and after Bai Fei connected it, Wang Weiguo's cannon-like voice immediately came from inside: "Tuanzao, where are you?" We have retreated to Pukou and joined up with the artillery battalion. Now the situation is urgent, the 18th Division of the First Army has withdrawn, and Pukou is about to be surrounded by the Japanese, where the hell are you? Hurry up and cross the river! ”

The field hospital is located less than 10 kilometers from Pukou and is in the range of radio service.

Bai Fei said: "I am still in the field hospital, there are more than 100 wounded soldiers here who have not been transferred, and we are trying to find a way..."

Wang Weiguo said: "Oh, what should I do? We are short of ammunition supplies now, and once the Japanese army blockades Pukou, we will not be able to provide you with fire cover, oops, this..."Wang Weiguo seemed to be really anxious, and he could be heard in his tone that he was very anxious.

Bai Fei groaned and said, "I order you to blow up the pontoon bridge and withdraw immediately, leave us alone!" ”

Wang Weiguo was taken aback: "Then how can you do it, what should you do?" ”

Bai Fei said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, you quickly withdraw with the team, save the brothers of our regiment, let's see you in Wuhan." At the end he added, "This is an order!" ”

Wang Weiguo was silent for a while and said, "That... All right! You must take care of yourself! ”

After hanging up the phone, Bai Fei looked at the more than 100 wounded soldiers in front of him, but his heart was full of sorrow.

Therefore, from 12 noon, the troops on the periphery of Nanjing retreated to the city one after another, and then quickly retreated to Jiangbei through the pontoon bridge between Xiaguan and Pukou.

Time passed minute by minute, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Nanjing garrison was only half transferred, at this time, the Jiangbei troops had already launched a fierce battle with the Japanese troops from Yangzhou in the Chuhe area, at the same time, the Japanese army also discovered the intention of the defenders in the city to evacuate, and constantly sent planes to harass, but under the blow of the air defense weapons deployed by Bai Fei in Xiaguan and other places, the Japanese planes were quickly wiped out.
