Shen Shaofan looked decisive and said: "Order the independent column to close the bridge!" ”

"Yes!" Hundreds of fighters pushed and entangled the fleeing soldiers and civilians with the pontoon bridge.

Shen Shaofan ordered again: "Shoot into the sky!" ”

All the guns of the pistol platoon and the soldiers of the independent column fired into the sky together, and at this time, the crying and pushing of the riverside was covered by the deafening sound of gunfire. Shen Shaofan came to a high platform surrounded by a pistol platoon, and he looked at the soldiers and civilians by the river, and a chill hit.

Shen Shaofan shouted: "I am Shen Shaofan, the head of the National Youth League. I know you have to cross the river, but you can't cross the river like you, and if you want to cross the river, you have to obey the command. Military and civilian separated. ”

As soon as the words fell, the spy company rushed into the group of refugees with guns and bullets, separating the soldiers with guns and skins from the ordinary refugees.

Shaofan whispered to Xiaolong: "Tell your people to strictly check the refugees to see if there are any deserters." ”

"Yes!"

Shen Shaofan shouted in the refugee pile again: "I know that many of you are soldiers, you come out immediately, I still count you as soldiers, if we find out, you will be shot on the spot." ”

There was a strange silence below, and at this moment, I saw several deserters in the crowd being pushed out of the refugee group by the spy company, and the deserters were shot dead in front of everyone. At this time, all the deserters hidden in the refugee pile came out one by one.

Sun Zhiyu said: "It seems to be almost." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Shaofan nodded and said, "Tell Su Li to let the people cross the river in accordance with the regulations." ”

At this time, there was order on the riverside, and I heard the regulation from the mouth of the pontoon bridge with a megaphone: "Old man; Woman; Children first. Men help the elderly; Woman; Children are only allowed to bring their personal belongings and throw heavy objects such as vehicles aside. ”

Shen Shaofan came to a group of soldiers again and said, "You are soldiers, and you should meet the battle with guns, instead of running away in a hurry like civilians." From now on, pick up your guns, go to the front line to cover the old white surname, cross the river, and buy time. ”

"All the officials have run away, why do we have to sell our lives?"

"Yes!" "Yes, all the officials have run away." "That's it!" Soldiers and deserters from other units were talking.

Shen Shaofan said: "From now on, you are the people of the National Youth League, and I am your official." I won't go, I'm going to go, and I'll leave when you withdraw first. ”

"National Youth League? I've heard that their battles are beautiful. "Yes!"

At this moment, a group of routs rushed all the way, and the leader was a colonel, scolding all the way: "Damn. Let Lao Tzu cross the river! ”

Shen Shaofan looked at it and shouted, "Stop them." As soon as the words fell, the fighters of the pistol platoon immediately sent a platoon to fire machine guns into the sky.

Shen Shaofan walked over and said: "None of the soldiers can be withdrawn, go to the front line of Jiangmen to block the Japanese army." ”

"Fuck you!" The colonel's officer said a disgraceful word.

Shaofan was not angry: "None of the soldiers of our National Youth League retreated. You ......"

The colonel's officer said again: "Fuck your National Youth League!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw Shaofan pull out his gun and shoot it at the colonel's officer's head, and shouted angrily: "It is natural to be a soldier to fight. From now on, all uniformed officers, officers and soldiers, will be on the front line with me. Ordered the rifle company to be responsible for the independent column of refugees crossing the river to also go to the front line, and ordered to teach; The two columns of the pre-cadre were also pushed to the Linjiangmen defense line, and they had to defend the Linjiangmen defense line to the death. The guard company was authorized to supervise the war, and the company set up a cordon on the warning card at the T-junction of Rehe Road, and no matter whether it was an officer or a soldier, there was no order from the regimental headquarters to cross the cordon, and it was shot on the spot. ”

"Yes!" At the same time, each officer was ordered to go to the Linjiangmen line. Those officers and soldiers who were on the verge of defeat also consciously took the guns in their hands and ran towards Linjiang Gate.

Shen Shaofan said while loading the Thomson submachine gun in his hand: "I issued three death orders to the battlefield, and the death orders were executed against all the officers and soldiers of the National Revolution in Nanjing, including me. ”

"Yes!"

"Kill those who retreat! Kill the cowardly without a fight! Those who do not obey the orders of the National Youth League will be killed! ”

The three death orders spread in every corner of the Linjiang people's forward positions, and it did not deter the soldiers on the Linjiangmen defense line, but let everyone see what an officer who swore to stick to his position thought, which greatly encouraged the soldiers on the front line. The warriors were on the ramparts; under a pile of rubble; In the abandoned buildings, these three death orders were heard, and an oath was heard.

The pontoon bridge behind the Linjiangmen defense line saved the lives of tens of thousands of refugees in Nanjing, but for this pontoon bridge, tens of thousands of ** soldiers paid for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the Linjiang line. They held on to the Linjiangmen line for twenty-nine hours with a line of defense that had no advantage, and when Nanjing had already fallen, to the astonishment of the Japanese General Staff. Nine days may not be a big deal for a war, but in the hellish dark days of Nanjing in December 1937, it became a long and arduous 29 hours, 29 hours of hope for the people of Nanjing, 29 hours that shocked the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, 29 hours that made the bureaucrats embarrassed, and 29 hours that surprised the Japanese army.

Nanjing fell, Tang Shengzhi ran away, the army was scattered, but the National Youth League was still there, Shen Shaofan and the officers of his regiment headquarters did not leave, they formed a defense line composed of officers and soldiers of many divisions and regiments in Linjiangmen, waiting for a decisive battle with the devils, what will their fate in this city? Everyone knows the cruelty of Nanjing City, so what will Shen Shaofan do to him for the sake of his love?

Shen Shaofan disobeyed Tang Shengzhi's order and left a pontoon bridge to become an escape passage for many refugees to escape from the ghost gate. The whole army of the National Youth League pressed on the Linjiangmen defense line and began a difficult street battle, Shen Shaofan felt that he had the obligation to lead the troops to garrison on this defense line, even if it was to fight to the death of a soldier, but also to win time for the people to retreat.

The Linjiangmen defense line is divided into three sections, with Linjiangmen as the core, the north is Zhongshan North Road, the south is the ancient forest of the Qinhuai River, the west is to Rehe Road, and the east is Huju Road, forming a triangular defense line, where every house and every street are guarded by the best people. In order to facilitate the command, Shen Shaofan disrupted all the numbers and put them into the number of the National Youth League, and temporarily incorporated them into the battalion; Join; Row; Everything in the squad is under the unified command of the regimental headquarters. Many soldiers of other units felt that this commander would fight, and it would be difficult for him to survive, so they were determined to stay and fight devils, and some saw the massacre of devils outside the Rujiang Gate, and felt that staying in Nanjing was always a death, so they simply stayed and fought with the little devils. There are still many ordinary people running towards Linjiangmen, and many ** soldiers have joined the Linjiangmen defense line and come up to the 88th Division; 36th Division; 87th Division; Soldiers from many different units and different arms, such as the police corps, joined the Linjiangmen defense line. The National Youth League has mastered a line of defense for those who are soldiers to stay at Linjiangmen, and if there are deserters who cross the river, they will be arrested.

After the Japanese army entered the city of Nanjing, it was completely out of control, and there were massacres everywhere; Plunder; *。 They not only slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians at the Zhongshan Wharf outside the Rujiang Gate, but also in Yanziji; Zhong Shan; Inhumane mass killings were carried out in Yuhuatai and other places, and gunfire and cries were everywhere. The whole of Nanjing was plunged into chaos, with madness and terror.

In the early morning of the 14th, the soldiers of the National Youth League stationed in the Linjiangmen defense line were awakened by a woman's scream, followed by sporadic gunshots, and the soldiers on the southern line of the defense Huju Road could already see clearly that there was a woman running almost naked in the direction of Huju Road, and there were two devils behind who were chasing and shooting at the woman. A sniper from a reconnaissance company raised a gun on the roof of a three-story building and shot at one little devil who fell to the ground and died, and the other little devil immediately paid attention and hurriedly ran back, and the other sniper fired two shots because the distance was too far and missed. The woman was put on an overcoat by the soldiers of the National Youth League and sent to the rifle company, and they sent the woman to Jiangbei.

Soon, a group of Japanese troops drove towards the southern line of Huju Road under the cover of a tank, and the soldiers hiding behind the building watched the little devils slowly approach them, and there was Huang Junjie, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the National Youth League, who was in charge of commanding the first pass of the Linjiangmen defense line.

Huang Junjie hid in a building and watched the tank drive over and said softly: "Tell the mortar to blow up that tank for me." ”

"Yes!" A flag bearer waved at two mortar gunners on a platform of a tall building.

When the little devil entered the crossfire network, he heard two shells fall on the tank car impartially, and immediately the street was filled with gunfire, as if the bullets were coming from all directions. The little devils who came were a small detachment, they would not have thought that there would be any decent military resistance in Nanjing now, they thought that a few soldiers were still trapped, so only a team of soldiers and a young man came here, but their judgment was wrong, and soon this Japanese squad was wiped out.

After Shen Shaofan received the news, he immediately ordered Huang Junjie to prepare for battle, and the Japanese army would immediately send a large group of men and horses to rush here, and soon this would become the last battlefield of the defense of Nanjing.

Shen Shaofan put down the phone, looked at the map, and walked out of the house, and the soldiers of the pistol platoon were building fortifications outside the command post of the new regimental headquarters.

Sun Zhiyu trotted all the way over and said, "The rifle company just sent a piece of information that a Japanese reconnaissance plane was found over the pontoon bridge. ”

"What?" Shen Shaofan was shocked and said: "That means that the little devil knows about our pontoon bridge." ”

Sun Zhiyu nodded and said, "I think so." ”

Shen Shaofan asked, "How many people have not been evacuated?" ”

"A lot! There are still many people who are still coming to us. Sun Zhiyu said: "However, according to the reconnaissance of the troops on the southern front, the Japanese army has set up a blockade card. ”

"I don't know what's going on in Nanjing?" Shen Shaofan sighed: "It would be nice if there were some air defense weapons." ”

Blocking Tianfang came over and said, "I think we have it." "Blocking the sky and followed a captain officer.

The captain officer said, "Commander Shen, when we know that you are here, we will come." I am the commander of an anti-aircraft artillery company under the Central Air Defense Command. I think we could build an anti-aircraft artillery position in Jiangxinzhou, but we only have four anti-aircraft guns and some anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

Shen Shaofan smiled and said, "It's enough." Heaven let you go and arrange the anti-aircraft positions of the pontoon. ”

"Okay!" As soon as the road was finished, he heard the fierce sound of artillery on the southern line of the tiger.

Shen Shaofan said: "It seems that the Japanese have begun to attack. ”

The southern front of Huju had just been bombarded by a devil mortar, and then hundreds of devils were seen advancing towards the main road of Huju Road under the cover of several tanks. The fighters hid in the buildings, some with magazines, some with grenades, just waiting for the little devil to come in.

Huang Junjie lay in a rubble, watched the devil slowly drive in, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Okay, come on!" Inform the deputy battalion commander to prepare for battle. ”

"Battalion commander! The deputy battalion commander was killed in the shelling just now. A correspondent said.

Huang Junjie said: "What? The commander of the 1st company was called to wait for the post of deputy battalion to prepare for battle. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Junjie watched the little devil gently pull the bolt. As soon as I saw two tanks drive into the street, I saw a loud bang, one of them hit the mine and was paralyzed, and the other tank was blocked in the middle of the street.

"Quick! Fast! Take that tank for me. Huang Junjie jumped out of the bunker with a few soldiers, and rushed in the direction of the devil's tank while shooting, along the way, Huang Junjie shot continuously at the devil who pounced, dodging bullets and passing through the heat wave of the bomb, and several soldiers came to the side of the devil's tank, and several brothers were shot by the tank's machine gun, but they still arrived, Huang Junjie jumped on the tank, and with the assistance of a soldier, he pried open the hatch of the tank and shot inside, and saw blood spurting out of the cabin, After a while, a soldier jumped out of the bunker, with a pistol in his hand and came to the newly captured tank in the costume of a tank soldier. The tanks roared towards the intersection, and hundreds of soldiers jumped out of their bunkers, and the little devils were defeated by the sudden attack. With the help of captured tanks and familiar terrain, the threat of a few tanks was eliminated, and the devils were driven out of the southern front of the tiger in one go.
