363. Chapter 361: The God of War
Xiao Jian was surprised when he received the order to retreat, although the Japanese army was strong, there were still more than 100,000 national troops in Nanjing, and although the weapons and equipment were a little worse, the morale of the national army defending the city was very high, and the citizens of Nanjing also actively supported the anti-Japanese war. The Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party also joined forces with the Nationalist Army to resist the war. As long as Chiang Kai-shek's determination to resist the war was unwavering and he continued to replenish the supply of troops, the Japanese army would not be able to occupy Nanjing no matter what, and even if it did, it could be recaptured. Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a population of nearly one million, could not withdraw troops under any circumstances. He was immediately extremely disappointed with the national army.
He is from Nanjing, his wife is also from Nanjing, and he has two families in Nanjing. At the beginning, he closed the arms store and signed up as a soldier to participate in the anti-Japanese war, in order to protect his family and defend the country. He understands that there is no home without a country. His father was an arms dealer, and he also followed his father from a young age, and he traveled to more than a dozen countries and was familiar with the use and repair of various weapons in the world. Since childhood, China has cherished the dream of supporting armed forces to save the country, and China has no status in the world, mainly lagging behind the developed countries of the West militarily. For more than 10 years, his father purchased a large number of selected weapons from abroad and shipped them to China and sold them to the national army.
He was an independent company commander officially appointed by the National Army, and he had been in the army for less than 20 days. From the moment he received the order to retreat, his ideological struggle was very fierce, and he didn't want to leave Nanjing! However, his subordinates cheered one by one, and only hated that his father and mother had lost two legs. He was amazed, how could such an army tear apart with the Japanese army who played with their lives like the devil. With a heavy heart, he said goodbye to his wife, who had been pregnant for more than seven months. After separating from Yingzi, he took a car to Xiaguan Wharf to wait for the ships to cross the river, and at this moment, the wharf was crowded with the national army and Nanjing citizens waiting to cross the river. In order to make the troops cross the river as soon as possible, the national army constantly drove away the citizens who were waiting to cross the river, and there were so many citizens who crossed the river that the national army even opened fire to drive them away, and some citizens did not die at the hands of the Japanese army, but died under the guns of the national army. The townspeople were furious and scuffled with the soldiers, and for a while, the scene was very chaotic. The citizens scolded the incompetence of the national army, and the more than 100,000 national troops could not hold the city of Nanjing, and scolded Tang Shengzhi for not keeping his promise, and originally promised the citizens to live and die with Nanjing. Unexpectedly, after defending the city for less than a month, he abandoned the city and fled. Lost Nanjing, with a population of nearly one million, to the Japanese army. The citizens of Nanjing, who have a little foresight, know that there is no resistance in Nanjing, and nearly one million citizens face the inhumane Japanese army, and the consequences are unimaginable. The citizens had long known from various gossip that the Japanese army was a devil's army, burning, killing, plundering, and plundering all kinds of evil. The indiscriminate bombing of Nanjing caused the citizens of Nanjing to feel an invisible panic.
Suddenly, more than 20 Zero bombers pounced on the Xiaguan wharf, and the ......long, spiky aerial bombs were aimed at the national troops and citizens along the river, and for a time, flesh and blood flew along the Shimonoseki wharf, and heavy casualties were inflicted. Then, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the Japanese planes chased the Nationalist troops for nearly an hour, and the Nationalist soldiers angrily accused the Nationalist officers of why they gave the order to retreat. I am willing to die on the battlefield, and I don't want to be chased and beaten by the devil's plane like this.
The bombardment lasted for an hour, and blood stained the Shimonoseki pier red. There are more corpses floating on the river. The plane flew away.
After a while, ten warships drove on the river, and the national army scrambled to board the warship, and Xiao Jian stood on the shore, motionless. He decided to stay in Nanjing, and he wanted to be a keeper of Nanjing. When the last boat was also nowhere to be seen, Xiao Jian resolutely turned around and walked towards the city
