On the high platform on the left side outside the camp gate, Hu Zongduo, the commander of the 19th Army, who was full of emotion, finally issued an order to retreat, and the division commander under his command asked him which direction to retreat? Hu Zongduo looked at the excited people pouring in from all directions, pointed to the riverside to the north, and the generals under his command left in a hurry, and thousands of officers and soldiers quickly lined up amid the shouts and scolds, and quickly ran to the riverbank full of weeds and vines and no roads.

Huang Ruihua, the head of the guard, who was left behind because of Bai Chongxi's rapid departure, looked at the chaotic scene of the crowd's anger, and rebuked Hu Zongduo in a low voice:

"Lao Hu, you know that He Jingzhi's surname is cowardly and indecisive, and you should have ordered your officers and soldiers to rush in and quickly disarm An Yi's subordinates, but why didn't you move?"

Hu Zongduo stopped, glanced at Huang Ruihua with a strange expression, and pointed to the camp surrounded by the surging flow of people:

"You see it too...... Actually, you are closer than me, are you confident that the three hundred guards under your command can deal with thirty of them? In this case, no one can defeat these outlaws who crawled out of the pile of dead people, even if they pull the cannons! Who is An Yi? Whoever dares to take his life may die before him.

Go back, hurry back to Brother Jiansheng, there are some things you don't understand and don't see clearly, let alone how terrible An Yi is, if you don't leave, you can't go like He Jingzhi and them! ”

In the blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 students and tens of thousands of citizens surrounded the Xiaguan camp, and the earth-shattering slogans and angry accusations were overwhelming, drowning everything, and the student presidents and officials of Southeast University gathered at the gate of the camp to stop, and more than ten student leaders, under the advice of Zhou Chongan and He Jing, discussed with each other for a moment and immediately went their separate ways.

Representatives of major social organizations received the notice and quickly instructed their contingent to get out of the way, and more than 100 Chinese and foreign reporters who had already arrived, under the guidance of the students, quickly walked through the dense crowd of noisy slogans into the camp, surrounded He Yingqin and others who had already gotten off the bus, and kept taking pictures; hundreds of representatives from all walks of life immediately arrived and angrily shouted questions to He Yingqin and a large group of generals around him.

Zhou Chongan glanced at He Yingqin, who was cowering in the circle of hundreds of officers and soldiers holding hands, quietly left the reporters and deputies, and ran to An Yi in the depths, halfway through, the candlelight lit in front of him made him so moved that he couldn't take a step, and couldn't help but stop, staring blankly, his chest rising and falling:

Dozens of doctors and more than 100 friends from all over the world who volunteered to care for the wounded and sick stood quietly behind An Yi, Pastor Gehr in front of him had tears in his eyes, and he and the three nuns around him raised the candle in their hands, and a piece of candlelight behind him was raised, and the hymn sounded.

The candlelight in the sunset is so weak that it is almost impossible to see, but the excited faces are incomparably sincere and moving in the melodious hymns.

Behind the priests and friends, the remnants of the soldiers of the reading division have stopped singing, and the iron-clad men are huddled into a pile at this moment, hugging each other, crying loudly, this group of men who regard death as home in the war, are so excited and sad at this moment, a choked call, a greeting of rebirth after the catastrophe, attracting thousands of sad eyes, the audience is all moved, suppressed sighs, low sobs, slowly replace the earth-shattering slogan, the whole camp inside and outside gradually tends to calm, Countless pairs of kind and worried eyes looked at the field.

"Stand upright...... Salute—"

With An Yi's command, the more than 1,000 brothers who were in a hurry quickly wiped away their tears, lined up neatly in regiments, raised their hands and saluted the people in front of them with a solemn military salute, and the battle flags that had undergone baptism of blood and fire again and again were raised high, and only half of the "mold" word was left in the front of the model battalion battle flag, most of which were broken into strips, fluttering weakly in the gust of breeze, like a desolate flag on the grave.

The reporters and deputies no longer wanted to listen to the pale explanations of He Yingqin and his adjutant that "it was a pure misunderstanding," and they no longer wanted to pay attention to He Yingqin's repeated emphasis in a cold sweat and chattering that "it is just a normal reorganization that has no intention of disarming and dismissing An Yi's division," "the military headquarters has already passed the order of General An Yi's promotion to lieutenant general," "all the officers and men of An Yi's division who have returned are among the preferential treatment and meritorious service," and so on. Faithfully record the next breathtaking scene with your eyes.

Surrounded by his adjutants and guards, He Yingqin got into the car in embarrassment, trying to escape, and the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment and the gendarmerie were all scrambling to climb into the truck.

Gong Qian, who had been standing at the gate of the barracks and watched calmly, took Ye Qing's hand and whispered a few words, Ye Qingxiu frowned slightly, pouted and squeezed to the side of a group of student leaders to make suggestions.

Soon, the impassioned students, under the loud persuasion, reluctantly moved out of the way, and someone in the crowd shouted "The truck can't go, we must use the truck to transport General An and the soldiers to the dock", and the narrow passage that had just been cleared closed again in the blink of an eye, without even a trace of light penetrating.

He Yingqin, who finally saw the hope of getting out of trouble, and his subordinates couldn't hear the cries outside, and saw the crowd rushing up again, thinking that the students were going to come forward and overturn the car.

Anxiously waiting for the past, the endless crowd gave way to a passage again, the frightened He Yingqin hurriedly ordered the driver to go quickly, the three usually majestic cars barely drove forward, along the way like thunderous curses and angry accusations one after another, the roof and door in the constantly flying debris and footprints "ping-pong" sounded, swaying, self-proclaimed "I talk and laugh among thousands of troops" He Yingqin finally realized what is the people's heart, what is the power of the people. The more than 2,000 officers and men behind him all left the truck, chasing the car like a lost dog to escape the sea of anger.

In the camp, An Yi led Shen Fengdao, Gu Changfeng, Zhan Huanqi and other officers who were intact or recovered ahead of schedule to thank the student representatives and representatives from all walks of life with great gratitude.

"We never expected that there would be such a tragic thing today, my soldiers and I paid a high price to return to Nanjing, just like a prodigal son who was accidentally lost and scarred by all kinds of difficulties returned to his mother's arms, but never thought that the enemy failed to destroy our ** and spirit, our trusted officers and comrades in the same camp of life and death continued to do what the enemy wanted to do but could not do, today's public framing that hurts into the bone marrow, how can not let our soldiers who have survived the battle chill?

Our soldiers who have made great achievements in war and terrified the enemy have returned here after a lot of hardships, and they still have to face the muzzles of their own brothers, and these brothers who have been besieged by tens of thousands of enemy soldiers again and again are not afraid to fight their way out of the bloody road, but they have been forced to shed tears of despair by their own people, and their strong hearts are still dripping blood!

I am deeply disappointed by today's political axe and the so-called military committee, which is not a political axe that inherits the legacy of Mr. Zhongshan and can win the trust of the people, nor is it a military coalition regime that regards the reunification of the motherland and national rejuvenation as a lofty ideal, but a freak formed by a group of selfish and self-interested naked warlords! If they do not wake up and introspect, they will be a short-lived political axe that has lost the support of the people and will be abandoned by the people in the blink of an eye, and will surely leave a lasting infamy in the history of the Chinese nation! ”

An Yi's face flushed with excitement, paused for a moment, stabilized his emotions and continued: "Today, I see the power of the people, the justice and kindness, and the light of hope shining in a pair of caring eyes. Although our country is now riddled with holes and all industries are withering, although our people are under the humiliation and oppression of warlords and imperialism, although we are framed and suppressed by conspiracy, and although there are still countless tortures and sufferings on the road ahead, we will never give in, because today I see the unyielding soul of the Chinese nation, the boiling blood of countless people and students, and the iron bones of the soldiers behind me!

As long as we unite and strive for our own survival and happiness, we will be able to overthrow all the warlord forces and dark forces that block the tide of history, and re-establish a prosperous and powerful China.

Although we are scarred, but the ideals and beliefs in our hearts will always last, immortal and immortal, we are not afraid to throw our heads and spill blood, even if we destroy our **, we cannot destroy our ideals and beliefs, we cannot destroy our eternal soul! ”

The applause was thunderous, the cheers were like a tide, An Yi's words, instantly ignited the ideal fire in the hearts of countless people, thousands of people shouted, one by one students with tears in their eyes, people rushed to the hero An Yi in their hearts, more than ten excited students raised An Yi high, around the wide camp kept swimming, in the earth-shattering cheers, An Yi was held high, the wound on his body was not healed and his body trembled, but he smiled, waved frequently to the flow of people everywhere he went, clenched his fists, and held high to the sky.

Gong Qian, who was wiping tears outside the camp gate, suddenly remembered the scars on An Yi's body, and rushed to the crowd in a hurry, squeezed to the officers and soldiers who were standing neatly and looking forward to it, grabbed Shen Fengdao's arm and begged loudly:

"Xiao Shen, go and think of a way! The wounds on Xiao Yi's whole body have just healed, and now they are turning upside down, how can he stand it? ”

Shen Fengdao looked at the black pressure surging human head and the raised arm like a forest, and shook his head painfully, feeling helpless:

"At this time, even if you have great ability, you can't get by, eldest sister, you better go and find the head of the students, this is very different from the battlefield!"

Gong Qian stomped her feet hard and ran away quickly, until half an hour later, the fanatical crowd gradually calmed down, and the blood oozing from the wound had stained An Yi's white-washed old military uniform, and the students only then realized their slamming, I don't know who shouted, more than a dozen people lifted An Yi again, and rushed to the door of the barracks under the opening of hundreds of people, handing over An Yi, who was pale and painful, to the doctor.

The doctors and priests who shouted God quickly carried An Yi back to the barracks, peeled off An Yi's clothes and pants, shook his head and sighed, and gave him emergency treatment......
