November 17, 1937. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Nanjing. Afternoon.

Xiaolu was arranged to stay, and Captain Bai Enmingluo and several people lived next door to Xiaolu. Xiaolu asked, "The telegram was sent?" ”

Bai Enming: "It's sent, they sent it using the Nanjing Northern Shaanxi Line, and the call back is here." ”

Xiao Lu read the call, pondered for a long time, and said: "I put forward today to ask for a street battle, and I asked to command the defense of Nanjing, they are very hesitant, and it is estimated that they will not agree. Forget it, let's go out for a bit. ”

The telegram from northern Shaanxi asked him to get the people out of the city as much as possible to minimize the losses of the people, and asked him to assist in the defense of Nanjing, but did not ask him to do anything in the defense.

The streets were quiet, and although many people had left Nanjing, there were still many people, as if there was no war.

After walking around, Xiaolu asked Captain Luo to find someone immediately, the more the merrier, spread public opinion in Nanjing, persuade the people to leave Nanjing, and strive to evacuate a large number of people in a day or two.

In the evening, Captain Luo led a large number of people into the city of Nanjing. Xiao Lu asked them about the process of entering the city, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Nanjing's defenses were sparse to this extent. There was not even a patrol, so chaotic, we moved overnight, spreading rumors that the national army had abandoned Nanjing, and the Japanese army was going to massacre the city, so everyone fled for their lives overnight as soon as possible. ”

Captain Luo's men dispersed overnight. Captain Luo personally took a few people out to mobilize the people to leave Nanjing. When I came to Sixiang Bridge, I saw a gate face, stacked with a large pile of bamboo, and it turned out that ten sheds were built to build factories.

Shedding is a scaffolding worker in the construction industry, of course, you can also engage in some work such as color buildings, summer pergolas, and scaffolding for building houses. Because Nanjing has been thriving in recent years, this family's business seems to be good.

Captain Luo stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man pushed open the door and said, "Excuse me, is there something wrong?" ”

Captain Luo said: "I was ordered to deliver the news that the Japanese army is about to enter the city. The government will abandon Nanjing. The Japanese have slaughtered several cities, and now you should leave Nanjing and flee for your lives. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Really? Can the government abandon the capital? ”

Captain Luo said: "The temporary first time has been determined to be in Chongqing. Don't you see that the big organs are gone? ”

One of the soldiers who came with him said, "Go as far as you can." I've seen Japanese people enter the city, a lot of women

It's all ruined, and then kill it. Let's go. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Okay." I'll go. Are you governmental? ”

Captain Luo: "We are the New Fourth Army. Remember, the New Fourth Army. ”

Captain Luo finished speaking and left. This set of rhetoric was taught to Captain Luo by Xiaolu, and this was also for the later propaganda of the New Fourth Army, although the New Fourth Army did not have any score at present.

Seeing Captain Luo and a few people knocking on the door of the neighbor's house, the middle-aged man came back and closed the door.

The middle-aged man is called Zhang Anding, in fact, he is only thirty years old, opened this shop, because he did well, opened several branches, Zhonghua Gate, Shuixi Gate, Gulou Lujia Road, Sixiang Bridge, life is okay, there are wives and children at home, younger brothers and sisters, old fathers and mothers. Originally, he wanted to escape and leave Nanjing, but because he was reluctant to go home, he didn't leave yet.

Everyone in the courtyard was there, watching him. They all heard Captain Luo's words and figured it out.

Zhang An said calmly: "We don't care what army he has in the New Fourth Army." There was a knock on the door and told us to leave, let's go. Now pack up your things, get up early tomorrow morning, and cross the river. ”

The old father said: "Fortunately, the wages of the workers have been paid off in the past few days. Let's go. ”

Zhang Anding said: "Captain Li asked me to follow the troops, but I didn't agree. It looks like I can't say goodbye to him tomorrow. ”

The old mother said: "This soldier is in chaos, give us money for work, three thousand yuan, a lot of money, what a good person." After saying a few words, she went back to the house.

Zhang Anding said to his father: "Originally, I wanted to send a few of you back to the countryside in Jiangpu Bridge Forest Countryside first, and my younger brother and I stayed for a few more days." Now, I think about it, and the whole family will go together. ”

Zhang Anding's mother prepared the prepared cotton shoes. The cotton sole is very thick, and a slot is opened in the middle of each sole that can hold 1,000 yuan of legal currency, and 2,000 yuan is put into it.

It is not easy to make money, and if there is a shortage of soldiers, you must also guard against bandits.

It's late to pack things up. Zhang Anding was not sure, and gave a few guys dozens of fiat coins each, asking them to flee for their lives.

Bury the soft in the ground, and when the dry food is ready, it is already the middle of the night.

November 18, 1937. Nanking.

In the morning, a large number of people fled from Nanjing with their children and daughters, and there was a commotion, and many people did not leave, they did not want to leave.

Zhang Anding pushed a bicycle and carried his mother, and his younger brother also pushed a bicycle and carried his child.

There is no war in the sea at present, the Japanese planes have bombed many times, and when passing through the intersection of Zhongshan Road in Xinjiekou, he saw that the roadside telephone poles were burning, some had fallen, and there were several corpses of soldiers, Zhang Anding became more and more frightened and regretted, and he should have left Nanjing a few days earlier.

When they arrived at Rujiangmen, the fleeing people gathered one after another, and the common people cried and shouted, but everyone fled for their lives, and no one paid attention to anyone.

When I arrived at the Rujiang Gate, the city gate was only half open, and the sandbags were half piled up, although it was passable, there were too many people, but fortunately, there were a few soldiers to maintain order. finally squeezed out of Rujiangmen, and the time was already more than ten o'clock. When I came to Zhongshan Wharf, there was no cameo on the riverbank, and a river boat had already opened the wharf and was far away from the shore.

The boxes and objects left behind by the people on the docks were piled up as high as a hill, and the soldiers ran back and forth like headless flies, shouting and screaming, and the chaos was terrible. Groups of wounded soldiers were on the docks, and soldiers were driving away civilians. It seems that the dock has been taken over.

Zhang Anding was familiar with this place, took his family upstream, and when he arrived near the double gate, he saw a small wooden boat on the shore, so he quickly called the boat boss and asked him to ferry to the other side.

The boat boss said that only by giving 5 oceans can you cross the river.

Zhang Anding said, I only have 3 pieces on me.

While bargaining, a group of central troops came from afar. When the boat boss saw it, he didn't argue, and said: "3 yuan is 3 yuan, get on the ship quickly."

Boat Old Avenue: "Look at your old and small, you are good people, go quickly." ”

Zhang Anding said: "Why are you so afraid of being a soldier? ”

Chuanlao Daodao: "Qiu Ba will burn high incense if you don't beat you, and you still expect them to give you money?" You should also be careful when you cross the river, there are everyone in the Red Gun Society and the Big Knife Society. ”

After sending Zhang Anding's family ashore, the boatman hid three silver dollars in the compartment partition, rowed back to the south shore, took a piece of dry food, sandwiched pickles, and ate it.

Before he had finished eating, he saw some young men and women coming in front of him, as if they were good people, and he stood up. The person on the opposite side saw the boat and shouted, "Boat boss! Cross us across the river. ”

Funay Avenue: "Five oceans." ”

The leader of the man said: "Okay. Just five pieces. Embarkation. There are five of us, one for each person. Ye Jingyi, yours and I are out. ”

Funay Avenue: "Five oceans." ”

The leader of the man said: "Okay. Just five pieces. Embarkation. There are five of us, one for each person. Jingyi, your self is out. ”

Ye Jingyi said: "Thank you." ”

What a nice sound!
