The Battle of Songhu was lost, and the Japanese army invaded Nanjing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore the defense of Nanjing, Lao Jiang swore that he would "swear to live and die with Nanjing".
The leader of a country shouted loud slogans, and he really fooled many people.
But as a result, when the Japanese army really hit the city of Nanjing, it was the first to take the lead in escaping, throwing the heavy responsibility of guarding to the speculator Tang Zhisheng, and finally Tang Zhisheng ran away on a small steamer, I have to say that this is the sorrow of more than 100,000 soldiers and millions of people defending Nanjing.
After the defeat of the Battle of Songhu, several people from Zaozhuang came to Nanjing by train, and they came to convey Chen Jiye's orders to Li Mengfei, who was lurking in Nanjing.
After a few people got off the train, looking at the enthusiastic atmosphere of the Anti-Japanese War in the city, they also doubted whether there was a problem with the young master's order, but they still strictly implemented Chen Jiye's order, because this was what Chen Jiye repeatedly told before leaving, and they couldn't be sloppy.
A few people cautiously came all the way to the door of a very remote house in the city, looked at the big C carved with a knife on the door, they knew that they had come to the right place, and then knocked on the door in a way of three long and two short.
Soon the back door was opened, and a head was sticking out, looking at a few people vigilantly, "How many are?" ”
"We came here to do business from our hometown, and we heard that you are our hometown, so we want to borrow it from you for a few days!" The man in front of the door said and secretly compared a C with his hand.
This is the code and code set by Chen Jiye at the beginning, after a pair, the people in the door knew that these were sent by the young master, and immediately smiled, "Oh, it turned out to be a fellow countryman, welcome, welcome, please come in!" ”
After a few people entered, they closed the door, and the person who opened the door immediately said excitedly: "Several, we have been talking about you all these days, but we are looking forward to you!" ”
Since they came, they have basically dug tunnels underground, and they have been working for more than a year, and they are almost unbearable.
The person who opened the door was a little minion, Chen Dajiu didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly interrupted.
"Okay, hurry up and take us to see your captain Li Mengfei, we have something to explain to the young master."
Hearing that it was the young master's business, the little minion who opened the door immediately said.
"Yes, please follow me!"
Li Mengfei was sent to Nanjing by Chen Jiye for more than a year, and after he brought people here, he came to the mansion that Chen Jiye bought. Then, according to Chen Jiye's instructions, they found all the underground waterways in Nanjing and dug a huge space underground as much as possible, and then stored enough food for 10,000 people to eat for a month.
Although Li Mengfei and the others didn't know what the young master meant, they still kept digging underground. After digging for more than a year, they don't know how much earthwork has been dug out of the ground, and now the underground of the house has been dug into a huge space by them.
Chen Dajiu used to be Li Mengfei's boss, and when he saw it, he shouted excitedly: "Squadron leader, I didn't expect the young master to send you!" Chen Jiye said that he would send someone over in a year and tell them what they were going to do. Li Mengfei didn't expect that it was the squadron leader before he left.
"Feizi, long time no see." I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Chen Dajiu and Li Mengfei have a tight hug.
Followed by Chen Dajiu, he patted Li Mengfei's back and said.
"Feizi, the young master asked me to say it for him, you are fortunate!"
Li Mengfei heard that the young master cared about them very much, and choked up and said, "We are for the young master...... Doing things, unfortunate and bitter. ”
"Yes, unfortunate suffering...... Unfortunately, ...... bitter," the rest of the people said movingly.
Li Mengfei adjusted his mood and said.
"Squadron leader, fortunately you came, we have been working underground for more than a year, and if you don't come again, the brothers will go crazy."
"Hehe, Feizi, you don't have to worry, the young master said, you can go back after this mission. And your mother-in-law told you that her daughter-in-law is still waiting for you at home, and your mother will arrange the marriage for you when you go back. ”
Li Mengfei They dug underground and specially dug out the sewers, so they were dirty and smelly, and they were really hard enough. When Chen Dajiu said it, he also told him a good news by the way, and asked him to hold on for a while.
Hearing that they could go back, Li Mengfei and his subordinates were very happy, and Li Mengfei hurriedly pulled Chen Dajiu and asked.
"Squadron leader, tell me quickly, what instructions did the young master ask you to bring me?"
After completing the task, I will go back, and if I can go back, who would want to take it here, so I took Chen Dajiu's hand and unconsciously used a lot of strength.
Chen Dajiu knew that they were in a hurry, but he still said slowly.
"Don't worry about this, let me see how you have been doing this year?"
"Okay, squadron leader, come, I'll take you down to have a look!" Li Mengfei said excitedly.
Later, under the leadership of Li Mengfei, Chen Dajiu and his people visited the entire underground shelter, as well as the stored grain, Chen Dajiu nodded with satisfaction before saying the task arranged by Young Master Chen.
After Li Mengfei and his people listened, their minds were a little overwhelmed. Although they basically work underground, they also need to go outside to buy groceries, so they know the situation in Nanjing.
"Tsk, squadron leader, there is a chairman in Nanjing City, and there are more than 100,000 troops, it shouldn't be breached, right? And Xiao Ri* wouldn't have been so inhumane and engaged in a city-wide massacre, right? Li Mengfei asked with a frown.
"Are you questioning the young master's decision?" Chen Dajiu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he roared very dissatisfied.
Li Mengfei knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly waved his hand and asked.
"No, no!"
"Then where did you get all this nonsense! When the time comes, you just need to carry out the young master's orders. But I warn you, don't be negligent, or you will have to pick your skin when you go back. ”
"Yes, yes...... Leader. Li Mengfei said repeatedly.
Then Chen Dajiu explained some things, left some things, and took people back the next day. After all, he still has to go back to lead the troops to protect Chenjia Village.
……
On December 1, 1937, the Japanese army captured Jiangyin Fortress, and on the same day, the Japanese army issued an operational order to attack Nanjing, and the defense of Nanjing officially began.
After the Battle of Nanjing began, Li Mengfei and others immediately began to act. When people were most sleepy, Li Mengfei took people to post leaflets brought by Chen Dajiu in the city.
At the beginning, Chen Jiye wanted them to publicize it everywhere in the city, but it was easy to be caught, so Chen Jiye had already asked people to write a large number of leaflets, and the content of the leaflets was very simple.
In the Battle of Songhu, nearly 780,000 national* troops could not defeat 300,000 Japanese troops, and how could the more than 100,000 Nanjing garrison troops cobbled together block the advance of more than 200,000 Japanese troops. The chairman of the committee will run, Tang Zhisheng is incompetent, the city will be broken, and Xiao Ri* will slaughter the city like Jinan back then! Warning, hurry up and escape! Escape!! Escape!!!
The next day, when the people saw the contents of the leaflet, the whole city of Nanjing began to talk about it, and at the same time, some people began to pack up and flee Nanjing. Because these people all understand that they can't defeat the 200,000 army of devils with more than 100,000 people, and the massacre in Jinan a few years ago is also a fact, so they are afraid and dare not gamble with their lives.
However, there are still a large number of people who don't believe that the little devils are so inhuman, and they are reluctant to leave the home they love, and some people just want to stay and do a little bit for the garrison troops to fight against the Japanese army.
Lao Jiang was woken up early in the morning, looked at the contents of the leaflet, scolded more than a dozen "Niang Xipi" in one breath, and then immediately ordered the arrest of the rumor-mongers, and at the same time ordered the government officials in the city to stabilize people's hearts.
Chen Jiye thought about this plan for a long time, and Li Mengfei and the others started to post leaflets at four o'clock in the morning, and they also went back through the underground waterway, and then fell silent, so neither the military commander nor the central commander caught a single person next.
On the same day, the news of an unfortunate foot came, the Jiangyin defense line was lost, and the first and second fleets of the Chinese navy, the main forces of the Chinese Navy, were all sunk in the Sino-Japanese naval battle of Jiangyin, which means that the only water barrier defending Gyeonggi by the Nanjing Nationalist Government was lost.
The officers and men of the national army were very brave, but the Japanese army had many people, and the fierce attack was even more fierce, and the positions of the national army were lost one after another.
On the morning of December 7, Lao Jiang left.
On December 8, the Japanese army fully occupied the first-line defensive positions on the periphery of Nanjing and began to attack the outer positions.
At dawn on December 9, the Japanese army entered the outskirts of Nanjing. On the afternoon of the 10th, a general offensive began.
The Chinese defenders put up a heroic resistance and repelled several enemy attacks. The Chinese Air Force, also with the support of Soviet pilots, shot down a number of enemy planes. At the same time, the Japanese navy advanced along the Yangtze River against Nanjing.
The Nanjing garrison had no reinforcements from outside, and suffered heavy casualties inside. On the afternoon of the 12th, Tang Shengzhi began to order all troops to break through the encirclement by separate routes.
Seeing that the army began to withdraw, Li Mengfei and the others ran out again, shouting loudly in Nanjing City for the people to run, and some people in the city were afraid and fled, but now it was too late.
In order to express his determination to live and die with Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi ordered Song Xilian to lead his troops to cut off the retreat of the defenders of Nanjing and burn the ferry. It is claimed that if there is no order, those who leave the team and cross the river to escape from the battlefield without authorization will be killed!
However, Tang Shengzhi himself and many high-ranking officials defending the city reserved escape boats for themselves, and it was not these generals who led troops who really had no way to retreat, but the front-line officers and soldiers who were bloody on the battlefield and the people who were left behind.
The Japanese army continued to approach, and in order to escape, soldiers and civilians began to trample on each other, competing for the road, and countless casualties were inflicted.
When the soldiers and people came to the edge of the Yangtze River, they looked at the danger of the Yangtze River and the helpless despair, and they wept bitterly. Of course, some unwilling people jumped off the Yangtze River and wanted to swim over to grab a chance of life. However, the Yangtze River is a natural danger, and the weather is cold in December, so there are only a few people who swim over.
On the morning of the 13th, the Japanese army invaded the city of Nanjing, Nanjing fell, and the whole country wept bitterly!
However, what was even more tragic was that Shanghai sent the commander King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, that is, the "imperial uncle" of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, to order a massacre.
This began the Nanjing Massacre, which lasted for more than 40 days.
Because of Chen Jiye's interference, there were not so many people slaughtered by the Japanese army, but there was also a river of blood.
Nanjing is bleeding to death every day, the city is full of corpses, and the whole of Nanjing is crying.
From the beginning of the destruction of the city, Li Mengfei led people to bring the fleeing people into the shelters they built. Because Li Mengfei's shelter is connected to the underground network, through their continuous efforts, they have successfully rescued thousands of people from the underground under the nose of the little devil.
During this time, Li Mengfei and the others saw too many dead people, if they hadn't tried their best to save people, it is estimated that their hearts would have collapsed a long time ago, and at the same time, they were glad that the young master could predict it in advance.
The people who survived the catastrophe hid in shelters, shivering underground every day, begging the little devils not to find out about it.
At the beginning, Chen Jiye asked them to prepare enough food, but they didn't dare to live and cook.
These people are all people who are fleeing for their lives, it would be good to be able to pick up a life, where do they dare to be picky, and eat directly with raw rice, cold water and white noodles.
The weather is cold, the raw and cold food, and the disease, there are still some people in the shelter who can't hold on and leave!
