Timid as a mouse!

Chaoxiang Gong Jiu and Miyamoto Gang flashed with disdain in their eyes, and said with a muffled snort: "Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, since you want to go to Xiaguan, then go and send it, anyway, the terrain over there is a small wounded barracks, and you can't get too many troops to go, you take your Sixth Division, as well as the remnants of the Sixteenth Division, attack Xiaguan, Lu Yuan, just leave it to us!" ”

"Okay, without further ado, let's act immediately, these refugees, as long as they are left with a small army to guard, wait until we solve the rout and refugees in Xiaguan, and then slowly clean ......them up."

Gu Shoufu said, and immediately ordered the integration of troops out of the city, hundreds of thousands of refugees, even if they all stretched their necks and waited to be killed, it would take a lot of time to clean up.

Seven hours have passed since 11 o'clock last night, and the number of people crossing the river has exceeded 70,000 or 80,000, but the wharf is still crowded with people.

Refugees from the direction of the wounded barracks poured into Shimonoseki Pier, and the number continued to increase.

"The little devil doesn't even treat us as human beings!"

"Damn little Japan, these beasts, beasts, ......"

Xiao Shanling poured into Xiaguan with thousands of rout soldiers and gendarmerie, and the tragic situation in the safety zone also began to spread among the refugees and the routs, many people were crying, the soldiers gritted their teeth with hatred, scolded angrily, and the people on the dock cried and shook the sky, and the originally orderly order showed signs of chaos again.

Everyone knows that as long as they don't cross the river for a moment, they won't be safe for a moment, and if the Japanese army comes, the fate of the people and refugees in the security zone will be their fate.

"Don't mess up, you must keep order, if anyone dares to disobey the arrangement, they will kill me!"

Xiao Shanling raised his hand and shot into the air and roared, he was about to go crazy now, the brutality of those Japanese soldiers, the slaughter of countless people, and the exhaustion of almost no rest for several days, made him feel that he could collapse at any moment.

A little chaotic, and was pressed down by the bullet again, Guo Baochang and two regimental staff officers trotted over to meet Xiao Shanling and said: "Now that the dragons are leaderless, those generals who are leading the run and fleeing, everyone doesn't know what to do, fortunately, the commander is here, and someone is finally in charge of the overall situation......"

An army, without a supreme commander, will be chaotic, even if Lu Yuan with Jiao Dapeng's Sichuan army to turn the tide, but even though he has a very high prestige among the soldiers, he is a soldier rather than a senior general after all, and he can only start from the perspective of stimulating morale, and cannot coordinate the overall situation.

And Xiao Shanling is the justifiable deputy commander of the Nanjing Theater, whether from the perspective of prestige and power, he can mobilize any soldier.

"Do your own work well, don't mess up, only if we don't mess up, the people won't be messy, and it will be possible to maintain the efficiency of crossing the river!"

Xiao Shan ordered, and then ordered all the defeated troops to be gathered for rectification, and then occupied all the high ground near Xiaguan, strictly defended it, and prepared for a decisive battle with the Japanese army!

In order to flee for their lives, many of the routed soldiers had already changed into the clothes of the common people and lost their weapons, but now, they were pulled out of the crowd one by one and escorted into the position, and if they were not convinced, they would immediately be treated as deserters and shot on the spot.

Lu Yuan also killed a large number of defeated soldiers before, but there is still an essential difference from Xiao Shanling's approach, he starts from the general trend, knows the righteousness, convinces people more with emotion and reason, and uses both soft and hard, while Xiao Shanling is much more brutal, and acts with military orders without scruples, and whoever dares to disobey will be killed.

"This is the critical moment of the life and death of the nation, I don't have time or mood to reason with you, as long as there is still one person alive on this dock, you have to hold my position for me, whoever dares to take a step back, kill me!"

Xiao Shanling roared with a hideous face: "People always have to die, either lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai, so many people's lives are in your hands, you don't want to be looked down upon by them, right?" Those we look down on red. Bandits, and Lu Yuan with a group of refugees dare to fight to the death with the little devils, the refugees who went out of the city behind them were all rescued by them - you are all soldiers, do you think that you even think that you only know how to drill the ravine. Are there still a bunch of ordinary people who are not as good as the bandits? “

Many of the routs bowed their heads in shame, they were afraid of death, but they were not afraid of death to the extent that they didn't even want their faces.

"I know that you are afraid of death, and I am also afraid of death, and I am afraid of death—but I promise you, before you retreat, my Xiao Shan Ling will never flee in front of you, you want to die, die together, live together!" Xiao Shanling raised his arms and roared.

"Since Commander Xiao has said so, let's do it!"

"Yes, if you want to die together, you want to live together, and fight with the little devil!"

The rout, who had just been integrated, was somewhat demoralized by his words, and took up arms and poured into the trenches, waiting for them.

"It's almost dawn, and there are still so many people who haven't crossed the river, if the Japanese attack it, I don't know how many people will die......"

The two chiefs of staff looked at the crowded dock, countless refugees wailing and crying in the fluttering snow, and their hearts also felt like they had pressed two heavy stones, and even began to have difficulty breathing, and shouted loudly: "Everyone heard Commander Xiao's words, right?" Everyone cheer me up, the little devil will come over at any time, so many people's lives are in our hands, no one wants to give me half a step back, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for not recognizing people......"

"Sir, don't worry, as long as we are still alive, the little devil will not want to step into the dock!"

"Yes, Lao Tzu has been a bear for half his life, and today he decided to be a hero!"

The defenders on the Rujiangmen position roared wildly, and for the first time decided to risk their lives and assume the responsibility that a soldier should have.

The sky gradually brightened, the snowflakes were fluttering, and tens of thousands of people on the pier were vying for the crossing.

Buzzing ......,

In the air, the roar of Japanese fighters sounded, and at the front of various positions, there were countless devils all over the mountains, moving closer to this side, and in the distance of the river, Japanese warships appeared.

Inside the city, a large number of Japanese troops poured out of the streets and alleys, and surrounded the wounded barracks.

Boom, boom......

Countless shells were fired from the battleship, and the Japanese fighters swooped down from the lead-gray sky, and the shells fell into the position like beads of broken thread, falling into the crowd of refugees.

The tragic battle kicked off again.

"Hit!"

Lu Yuan roared, on the Xiaguan position, Xiao Shanling was roaring, countless soldiers, Japanese troops, were also roaring, machine guns were roaring, and artillery shells were exploding violently, completely shrouding the entire Nanjing in a raging fire and gunsmoke.
