Chapter 14: Inside Jinling Castle (3)
"Master Mu, what should we do? Going to Little Pink Bridge? Zhang Cheng left with the big cow, and the refugees in the alley surrounded the middle-aged man who had talked to Zhang Cheng, and they were in a mess. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info These people originally lived in an alley, and seeing that the war situation was getting worse and worse, they discussed hiding in the car dealership south of the city, but now they were told by Zhang Cheng that there was a safe zone established by foreigners in Xiaofenqiao, and there was finally a different opinion among the refugees who originally agreed on the same opinion.
Mu Lianshan, who claimed to be a rickshaw driver, pondered for a while, and then replied, "I don't think those two people just now didn't look like they were lying to us, they didn't ask us for our money, and we didn't make any promises, everything depends on our own choices." I thought about it, although the car dealership in Nancheng is big enough, if the little devil really enters the city, that place will not be able to escape the eyes of the little devil. I think let's go to Xiaofenqiao to have a look, if Xiaofenqiao is not what the man just said, we can go to Nancheng in time. ”
Mu Lianshan didn't fully believe what Zhang Cheng said just now, and after a deep groan, Mu Lianshan made two preparations, after all, the Chengnan car dealership was the place he was most familiar with. Mu Lianshan made two preparations, but the refugees on his side had already divided into two factions and quarreled, some agreed to go to Xiaofenqiao, and some insisted on going to the south of the city. Mu Lianshan tried to persuade the two sides of the quarrel to calm down, but was directly ignored by both parties, and finally Mu Lianshan had to take care of his family and stand at the entrance of the alley silently waiting for the quarrel to end.
Looking at the neighbors and acquaintances who were arguing like fighting cocks, Mu Lianshan felt a burst of boredom in his heart for no reason, when was this, and there was still time to argue around here. Time passed little by little, and seeing that they had stopped here for half an hour, Mu Lianshan finally got impatient, and immediately called his relatives and friends together. "I think these people will have no result for a while, let's go first, and go to Xiaofenqiao."
In the alley, neither side of the dispute found out when Mu Lianshan and a dozen of them left, and when they were quiet when their mouths were dry, Mu Lianshan and his party had already walked out of a few streets. Mu Lianshan and the others, who were horrified by the two explosions of "boom" and "boom", all shrank in the shadows on the side of the street, and before the numbness on their scalps disappeared, they heard a burst of rapid gunfire like dense raindrops, just like what they had heard in that alley just now.
After a few breaths, there was a sound of shoe soles stomping on the ground, and more than a dozen figures with a tow came out of the street in front of him. More than a dozen people who emerged from the front of the street were obviously a little panicked, and after discovering Mu Lianshan and the others who were hiding on the side of the street, they all crossed the road and stopped on the opposite side of the street. Seeing that the other party was also dragging his family, Mu Lianshan, who was hiding in the shadows, took the initiative to pull his wife and daughter towards the other party.
The other party may have secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and an old man about 60 years old greeted Mu Lianshan and said, "Did the little brother also go to Xiaofenqiao?" ”
The other party's familiar local accent made Mu Lianshan doubly favorable, and hurriedly returned the salute, "We were originally going to Chengnan Hutchison Car Dealership, but we met devil soldiers on the road, but fortunately we were rescued. Uncle, what are you? ”
The old man laughed, "As I said, those who are not doing side business on the street in the middle of the night may only be able to flee." Like you, the old man and my family were also looking for a place to hide, but we met a group of robbers at the front of the street. I thought about going back and telling my neighbors to go to Xiaofenqiao together, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Knowing that the old man and these people were also rescued by two people, Mu Lianshan described Zhang Cheng's appearance to the other party, and the old man nodded frequently and said that the person who saved them was the person Mu Lianshan said in the mouth. "Look, I'm right, people are dedicated to saving people in the city, I think, let's hurry up and go to Xiaofenqiao." Waving goodbye to the old man and his group, Mu Lianshan took his relatives and friends all the way to Xiaofenqiao, and did not forget to notify the refugees he met according to Zhang Cheng's instructions on the way.
Rushing to Xiaofenqiao, Mu Lianshan and his relatives and friends were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them, the street entrance was tightly blocked by wooden barbed wire, a large number of panicked refugees were queuing up outside the refusal, and all kinds of sounds mixed together made the whole street full of buzzing sounds. "You are only allowed to bring personal belongings, no more than one suitcase, and no weapons of any kind." With a commotion, the crowd that was originally crowded outside the horse suddenly dispersed outward, and Mu Lianshan, who was standing on the rocks, saw several men outside the horse being surrounded by German soldiers wearing steel helmets.
"The security zone contains only civilians, and military personnel are not allowed to enter the security zone." The men who were surrounded by the German soldiers were not treated badly, but were driven away from the rejection by the German soldiers. Some people also asked why they were not allowed to enter the safe zone, and it was obvious that two of the routs who were driven away from the horse looked still underage. But no matter how the crowd outside the rejection of the horse argued, the German soldier guarding the rejection only said that the soldiers were not allowed to enter the safe zone, and no matter how the two soldiers pleaded, the German soldier with a straight face just shook his head.
In the Battle of Nanjing, which Zhang Cheng knows, the international security zone established by Rabe and others was frequently embarrassed by the Japanese army, and the fuse was the rout of the national army that had infiltrated the security zone. Japanese soldiers who enter the security zone to search will often take dozens or even hundreds of civilians from the security zone because they find that several national troops have been defeated.
Zhang Cheng knew that the Japanese army had already had a small force into the city before the war, and he could not prevent the Japanese soldiers disguised as Chinese from entering the security zone, so he had to openly refuse the soldiers to enter the security zone, I don't know if this would reduce some trouble for the security zone after the Japanese army broke the city, but he knew that sometimes it was definitely worth sacrificing the lives of a few people for the sake of more people's lives.
The security zone denied entry to the soldiers, and the Nationalist soldiers who had been screened out of the refugees by the Germans had to leave with hatred, except that there were always a few figures dressed in short shirts in the distance behind them. "Ladies and gentlemen, not allowing you to enter the safe zone is actually a good thing for you." Several of the routs who were driven out of the safety zone by the German soldiers were stopped by a few men in short shirts, and the man led by him took out a cigarette and distributed it to the routs, and then explained with a smile.
"The Japanese sent a small force into the city long before the siege, and the refugees in the safe zone may have mixed with the Japanese. Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, if the Japanese know that the military masters are hiding in this safe zone, will you still be able to live? I'm just afraid that when you defenseless military masters can only let the Japanese soldiers toss, and when the time comes, you will have to take the lives of more civilians, which is not cost-effective. ”
The words of the man in the short shirt made these soldiers very annoyed, damn, Lao Tzu was just bullied by those German soldiers, and he didn't go far before he was humiliated by guys like you, don't you think that Lao Tzu has never killed anyone? The defeated soldiers threw the cigarettes in their hands and were about to turn their faces, but they heard the short-shirted man on the other side continue, "Ladies and gentlemen, I see that you have also seen blood on your hands, so I will simply show you a clear way." Go to the city to find food, as long as you get enough food for the safe zone, I, Chen Qingshan, will be responsible for finding a hiding place for you. ”
Regarding Brother Chen's suggestion, these soldiers who were stopped by the men in short shirts were a little confused, didn't they just say that they would not let the soldiers enter the safe zone? Chen Qingshan smiled, and continued to take out a cigarette and distribute it to a few people on the other side, "A ton of grain will give you a chance to save your life, if it were me, such an opportunity would be firmly seized, several, think about it." ”
The defeated soldiers all know that the city is about to be broken, once the city is broken, their defeated soldiers will be bad, no one in the world is rushing to die, it is better to die than to live. Seeing that the expressions of several defeated soldiers were somewhat relaxed, Chen Qingshan continued, "There are almost 100,000 refugees in the security zone, so many people need a lot of food, and there are many grain shops in the city. If we don't take this food, after the city is broken, it will only be left for the Japanese army as military rations, which can save our own lives and help the refugees in the safe zone, which is a good thing with immeasurable merit. ”
"Don't talk about those useless things, I'll just ask, if we get food, and you don't admit it here, won't we be tricked by you?" The only guy in the rout who was still wearing a steel helmet asked Chen Qingshan, and at the same time, several of the rout soldiers around him also faintly dispersed, and several people were waiting for Chen Qingshan's answer, and they had the intention of breaking out if they didn't agree.
Facing the reactions of several people on the other side, Chen Qingshan laughed and opened his shirt, only to see two short guns stuck upside down on Chen Qingshan's belt. "A few military masters, if we can help the safety zone do things, we are not wine bags and rice bags. Don't brag in front of several military masters, I, Chen Qingshan, have also seen blood, and I saw that these two short guns were not there, and they were the reward I got for following our boss to kill Japanese soldiers in the city. Our boss said that this is called a southern pistol, and I don't think it looks as thick as a box gun, so I am embarrassed to show it. ”
Chen Qingshan showed the short gun pinned to his waist, which was nothing more than a warning to these routs, but he didn't want to bluff these routs all took a step back. The routs had fought with the Japanese army, and they all knew that only officers and artillerymen in the Japanese army were qualified to be equipped with pistols. Damn, look at your bear-like appearance, no wonder you can't hold Nanjing City, the reaction of the defeated soldiers was clearly seen by Chen Qingshan, although he didn't say it, but in his heart he despised these defeated soldiers extremely much.
exchanged food for an opportunity to send away these defeated soldiers, Chen Qingshan and the others did not dare to delay, and continued to follow another wave of national routs who were driven out of the security zone. Hearing the news, there was an endless stream of civilians in the city who rushed to Guangzhou Road, and there were not a few defeated soldiers of the national army who were screened out of the refugees, Chen Qingshan led a group of men to follow these defeated soldiers one by one, and in only two hours, there were already defeated soldiers of the national army who had been fooled by Chen Qingshan and others to transport food to the safe zone.
"Mr. Bella, this is a new batch of grain, 14 bags of American white flour, and the rest are fine rice, plus some brown rice." From time to time, Chen Qingshan's men would bring a group of young refugees to escort a batch of grain, and the tools for transporting grain were varied, and they filled the entire courtyard.
