Nantong City has been in chaos, after receiving the notice from Wang Yongan, commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Army and Navy, the people of Nantong have been evacuated to Yangzhou one after another since the afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old Zhang Tou stood in the middle of the cross street, the gong in his hand was struck loudly, and shouted: "Run to Yangzhou, run quickly, don't wait for the little devil to come to Nantong and harm you!" The big girl and the little daughter-in-law must follow up with the family, the little devils are all perverts reincarnated, don't let them bring disaster to their own girls! ”

Lao Zhangtou knew that the more terrifying he said, the more violently the people fled the war zone, and the fewer villagers died, so he shouted hard and shouted vigorously that he must persuade the villagers in Nantong to leave.

As a veteran of the Beiyang Naval Division, Lao Zhang was shot in the stomach by the Japanese in Weihai that year, and fainted from blood loss. Lao Zhang woke up and struggled to crawl out of the corpse pit, and later Lao Zhang returned to his hometown in Nantong, only to find that the hometown people mistakenly thought he was dead, his parents died in grief, and his wife also returned to her parents' home, and remarried a year later. Lao Zhang was grief-stricken, so he entered a monastery to become a monk, and later the temple burned down, Lao Zhang had nowhere to go, but fortunately he was a local, and the gentry knew that he was a hero of the Beiyang Naval Division, so they helped him to be a husband, and this work was more than ten years.

Lao Zhang hates the Japanese more than anyone else, and knows the cruelty of the Japanese better than anyone else, 16 years ago in the Sino-Japanese War, how many Chinese people were brutally murdered, the Lushun massacre, only 36 people in the city survived.

Lao Zhang can't see his compatriots being murdered, this man who looks like he is in his fifties, but in fact he is only forty-one years old, must do something for the people, if there is only one person left in the city, it should be him Lao Zhang.

The artillery roared along the river, Lao Zhang knew that this was the Japanese attacking, and a wave of attack in the morning killed more than 200 people, these people were local youths from Nantong County, Haimen County, Qidong County and Chongming County, which made many people unacceptable for a while, and white cloth was hung in Nantong City, crying all over the world. And today I shelled overnight, and I don't know how many people were slaughtered by the Japanese, Lao Zhang sighed, continued to beat gongs and drums and shouted: "Run to Yangzhou, the little devil is coming, everyone can't live." There were only 36 people left in the Lushun massacre in the whole city, and Nantong City had five times more people than Lushun City, and it would be too late if they didn't run. ”

After Lao Zhang's shouting, more and more people fled to Yangzhou with torches overnight. Of course, there are those who are afraid of escaping, and there are those who are unwilling to escape, and some of the people who are unwilling to flee are unable to leave their homeland, after all, they have been in Nantong all their lives, and the Japanese have driven themselves away, can their ancestral ancestral halls also leave Nantong; Some are fearless, thinking that the little devils are coming, and it is a big deal to fight to the death with them, they are all with one head and two legs, who is afraid of whom; Some are surviving, always thinking that the Japanese are coming, don't they have to have ordinary people, otherwise they occupy such a large area to do anything, Britain and France occupy Shanghi, Shanghi is more prosperous, if the Japanese occupy Nantong, maybe Nantong will become a small Shanghi under the rule of the Japanese......

Suddenly, a shell swept overhead, dropped in the city of Nantong, and directly blew up a family's house to smithereens, and all the houses around 20 meters or so were destroyed by a powerful shock wave.

The ground guards hurriedly stopped people from rescuing, but now that everyone is fleeing north, how can anyone save people.

"Alas......" Di Bao sighed and walked over alone, this is the old Zhang who occasionally played more and stopped beating the gong, and walked over with the gong and said, "I'll help you." ”

"Yo, it's Lao Zhang, why don't you leave?"

"I'm not leaving."

"You're not afraid that the little devil will kill you?"

"The little devil killed me once in Liaodong back then, and this time if I have a life, I will pull a few cushions."

Dibao stretched out his thumb and said, "It's a man." ”

Lao Zhang said with regret on his face: "If we could stop the little devil in Liaodong back then...... I'm not going to be ruined. ”

Di Bao patted him on the shoulder, everyone knew what Lao Zhang had happened and was very sympathetic to him, but Lao Zhang's ex-wife married to another place, even if everyone pitied him, he couldn't condemn the ex-wife who left him, Di Bao said: "My family has a gun, I'll take you to get it in a while, and I'll use it for you." ”

As he was talking, a few shells fell in Nantong City, and the explosion of the shells not only destroyed the room, but also caused a fire, and the ground guard looked at the direction of the fire, and his face changed and shouted: "It's not good, my house is on fire." ”

When they came to the house, they saw his old woman sitting at the door with a girl in her arms and crying, and the earth guard shouted, "What's the matter? ”

"Son, they didn't come out, they didn't come out......" The old woman sobbed silently.

The son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, two grandsons, a grandson and a granddaughter all died in the fire, leaving only one granddaughter alive.

Suddenly, Jibao jumped up and shouted, "Little Japan, I am your ancestor!" So he rushed into the fire, grabbed a guillotine by the wall and ran out, and was about to run to the river, but was stopped by Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang yelled: "Where to protect, what are you doing? ”

"I'm going to fight the little devil."

"You're fighting with a guillotine? Before you even get to them, they'll shoot you dead. Lao Zhang reprimanded, "You're not desperate, you're sending you to death." ”

"So what do I do, what do I do?" Jibao cried.

Lao Zhang said: "If you die, how will you let your granddaughter live?" You old couple fought to death, can she survive one child? Dibao was silent, and Lao Zhang continued to persuade: "You should take your children to Yangzhou now, tell everyone about you, and tell everyone that the little devil has done a lot of evil." ”

"That's it? Is that all? ”

"Lao He, fighting a war is a matter of being a soldier, you can only be sent to death as a common man, your family will be finished if you die, you think about me, look at me, isn't my father and mother sad to death? You must live, you still have a granddaughter to feed and bring up. Lao Zhang said earnestly.

Jibao calmed down for a moment, cried and shouted, took the old woman, and fled to the outside of the city with his granddaughter on his back. Lao Zhang picked up Lao He's guillotine, put it in his hand, weighed it, and said to himself: "Little devil, the revenge in Liaodong back then, your grandfather Zhang must avenge it today." ”
