Chapter 147: The mountain city is in trouble

The land of Bashu has always been rich, and once Wuhan was lost, Chongqing became a real political and financial center.

"It's feasible for the boss to take us across the river."

There were more than ten people in a group, plus more than a dozen horses, and there were no boats of all sizes willing to bring them.

"This white horse is good, this boss come up. Now there are more and more people going to Yucheng, and there are not many people who are willing to pull livestock. ”

Zhang Ziwen thanked him.

"It's best for you to store your horses by the river to get back to the Dragon Trading Company, and there are no horses in the city now."

This boss is a talkative person, and Zhang Ziwen also wants to figure out the current situation in Chongqing.

"Dare to ask the boss why."

The boss looked back at Chongqing and said for a long time.

"I grew up in Chongqing, and it took me most of my life to earn this steamer."

When Zhang Ziwen heard it, this was all a problem, and he had to start talking.

But the boss carried his own group, and it was not good to disturb his interest.

"Since the government moved the capital, Chongqing has become more prosperous and earns more money, but ......"

The boss said as he slapped the guardrail hard.

"He has to be a little bit small, but he can't see any good, and he has to go to Chongqing to bomb from all over the world, which hurts my ......."

The eyes of the Yu Shu men in their thirties were red, and Zhang Ziwen knew that there was a family that suffered misfortune because of the devil.

"The reason why I let you get on board is because I can see that you are soldiers, or soldiers who have killed devils."

Zhang Ziwen was taken aback, is it so easy to see?

The first group of the guard squad is veterans, and the second group is recruits.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has killed devils, and veterans have fought at least three battles.

"You're all gunned, and half of them have seen blood. Don't get me wrong, I see it in your eyes. ”

Zhang Ziwen was a little puzzled, and he could not see it in this look.

"You yourself have not looked closely, and there is a disregard for life in the eyes of those who have killed people and seen blood."

I am used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, and I no longer have any fear for life.

"For example, sir, you were indifferent when I mentioned the devil bombing, if it wasn't for the experience of a lot, no one would be like this"

Zhang Ziwen was habitually silent, and he couldn't understand why he asked questions that people always answered what he asked.

"Off topic, the city is not allowed to enter because the government has issued a new order. The last time the devils bombed, there were two horses in the city, and as soon as the bomb went off, the horses hit dozens of people in the street, and they were about to catch up with the devil bombs. ”

Zhang Ziwen took out a cigarette and handed it to the boss, and a golden dragon hovered over the cigarette shell, which was the Guilong of Tenglong Tobacco Company.

"Boss, it's full."

The boss nodded, and the captain ran into the cockpit.

"Why, don't you open it yourself?"

The boss took the lighter, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"Good smoke, energetic."

Zhang Ziwen waited for the boss to tell the story, and the boss seemed to be thinking about something before smoking half a cigarette.

"If I don't open it, I'll just come and see it, and I haven't opened it since I had a child."

Zhang Ziwen couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only listen.

"I saw that there was no pole at the top of the mountain, and that one was used to hang red lanterns. With the red lantern we have to hide, because the devils are coming to attack.

You said that if this lantern had been hung a few months earlier, my wife and children would not have been killed by the devil bomb. ”

The boss finally found an audience, and for a while he wanted to say everything.

Zhang Ziwen listened to the boss's chatter and understood that this red lantern was equivalent to an air defense alarm.

Zhang Ziwen listened to the boss talk about his own business, and looked at Chongqing, which is built on the mountain.

There is no end in sight in the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in this city.

Zhang Ziwen was looking at the top of the mountain when he suddenly saw a string of red lanterns hanging high.

"Boss, is this an air raid?"

The chattering boss woke up when he heard the word air raid.

"The devil plane is coming."

After speaking, he ran to the cab, and Zhang Ziwen also followed.

"We can't dock, we have to go downstream and miss the devil's plane."

The boss took the rudder with one hand and pulled it vigorously, and the boat went down the water.

The slow ship immediately became fast, and the boss continued to refuel.

The big boats and small boats on the river also turned around.

The dock is the focus of the devil's bombing, and now docking at the dock is looking for death.

Those who boarded the ship on the shore and unloaded the cargo all put down their own things and fled frantically.

Now the Nationalist Government was no longer able to confront the Japanese planes head-on.

The League of Nations turned into bullshit, Britain, France and the United States directly refused to sell planes, and the Soviet Union withdrew all its instructors.

Leaving a backward China to face Japan, which had experienced the Meiji Restoration.

The steel, oil, and bombs of the United States were also shipped to the Japanese mainland one by one, and the guns made in Japan were directly hit on the Chinese military and civilians.

There are many people who say that the United States is good, but Zhang Ziwen disagrees.

The loans given by the United States are all in exchange for oil and tin ore.

Germany is no less odious, and all aid is bought in exchange for resources.

In other words, China was in turmoil, but it fed the Western powers.

"Look, devil plane."

Zhang Ziwen looked up, and more than a dozen planes of devils swooped down towards Chongqing.

At this time, the owner of the boat increased his horsepower and rushed downstream.

"Boom~"

The sound of bombardment came, and the first reaction after hearing the explosion was that it was not himself who died.

"Dada~"

The two fighters swooped down on the boat in the river with fire, and UU read the book .nt The river was flushed with a little red.

After the fighter plane climbed, it pounced directly on the city, and the boss breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Ziwen raised his heart again.

There are more people in the urban area, and the devils can hit people when they fire at will.

"Help, someone fell into the water."

Hearing the cry for help, Zhang Ziwen came back to his senses.

"Why are you stunned, take someone to save people."

"Battalion commander, then you ......"

"I have hands and feet, I have been born and died, and I haven't seen death after being blown up by devils many times, go quickly."

The stone gave Lu Wenqing a look and led people to the side of the boat.

Someone had already thrown down the rope on the side of the boat, and just now the devil dived, three or five small boats overturned, and more than 20 people fell into the water.

There was one near the small steamer where Zhang Ziwen was, and two people were hit by machine guns, and five people fell into the water.

The captain desperately wanted to swim on the steamer with a man who didn't know water, and one of them disappeared directly, and the two also wanted to swim on the steamer.

"Quick~"

The stone tied the rope directly to a brother, who did not care about the danger of the river and plunged headlong into the water.

"I can't save the water first."

The captain shouted at the risk of drowning amid the rumbling bombardment.

The brother had the rope in his hand and thought about throwing it at the father-in-law, and he swam to the other two.

"Quick, turn him over."

The captain grabbed the rope and rescued the man with the help of the people on the steamer.

The person with the captain was already unconscious, and the experienced captain turned it over for the first time and beat his back hard.

"Ahem~"

When the captain saw that the man had woken up, he spat out the water, and knew that the man could not die now.

The stone also pulled the two men who had fallen into the water ashore.

They were lucky, far luckier than people in the city and those who were hit by planes and overboard.

At least they're alive.
