Tang Shengzhi looked at everyone and said, "What is the battle situation, everyone should know in their hearts, in order to preserve the living forces, Chairman Jiang has an order to order the whole army to prepare to withdraw from Nanjing City." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately felt a big mess in their hearts, where is this withdrawal so easy to withdraw, who is first and who is second, they are all particular.

Tang Shengzhi began to issue a retreat plan, and everyone looked at it, but the armies retreated in turn, well, the plan was still good.

"May I ask Commander Tang, the retreat route says that it is by waterway and railway, but the railway has been blocked by the Japanese army, where is our ship by waterway?" Sun Yuanliang stood up and asked.

At this time, there were still more than 80,000 people in the garrison, and so many people needed to retreat, and many ships were needed.

Tang Shengzhi had retreated all the ships upstream in the previous time, and it was not easy to reorganize now, and air supremacy was now completely in the hands of the Japanese.

"This is to be collected by each army individually." Tang Shengzhi said this, and immediately everyone was going to fry, what do you mean to collect it yourself, isn't it left to them, Liu Jie also stood up and said, "Commander Tang, this is not appropriate." ”

I saw a column of guards walking in, Tang Shengzhi clapped the case and shouted, "Give me silence, the ships are now upstream, I will order the ships to Xiaguan, but I also hope that each unit will go to collect it first, so that when retreating, it can be faster, okay, dismiss!" ”

Tang Shengzhi, who left a conference room to look at each other, the general who was at a loss immediately left the headquarters with the guards, and he had more important things to do.

Tang Shengzhi in order to show that he is really bent on defending, at this time his children and wife are still in Nanjing City, Tang Shengzhi with the guards hurriedly came to his home, only to see a huge bomb pit not far from the door, as soon as he saw him come back, the German black back he raised stuck out his tongue and rushed up.

Tang Shengzhi patted the dog anxiously. He entered the house and said, "Okay, no, we're going to leave Nanjing overnight." ”

Saying that, a noble lady in a cheongsam and a teenager came up and said, "What's wrong?" I'm in such a hurry, and there are still a lot of things that haven't been installed. ”

Tang Shengzhi said angrily when he heard this: "Is there anything else that hasn't been installed?" Saying that, he walked into the room and saw only four huge boxes on the ground, Tang Shengzhi asked, "What are these?" ”

Mrs. Tang Shengzhi pointed to the box and said, "It's all gold and jade, clothes and ancient books." And jewelry, but also children's toys, B. Braun's balls were confiscated, you know, B. Braun would be unhappy without them. ”

B. Braun is the German black-backed.

Tang Shengzhi stomped his feet anxiously and said, "When is it, leave immediately!" ”

Tang Shengzhi left Nanjing overnight with four boxes of belongings, his wife, children, and guards on a steamer, and the 80,000 troops he left in Nanjing were completely chaotic.

First of all, Sun Yuanliang felt that there was no chance to leave Nanjing without a ship after the meeting, and at this time Zhu Chi did not inform him about the pontoon bridge. After thinking about it, he felt that it was most important to keep a useful body, so he immediately left the army, disguised himself and hid in a brothel he was familiar with, after all, the Japanese army would not attack a brothel, would they.

Then the various troops who learned the news did not follow the deployment at all, but rushed to Xiaguan to find the ship, you know, there are no ships in the whole city of Nanjing, and whoever finds the ship first can leave Nanjing first. This is a chance to live.

But not all the troops received the order to retreat, and the 63rd Army, which had not yet received the order, saw a large number of troops running towards the river. Mistakenly thinking that they were going to escape, the officer shouted and refused to listen, so he simply opened fire, and the troops, who were already anxious to find a boat to escape for their lives, were willing to do it, and they also shot back, and the fight was lively for a while.

Other troops who do not know the situation. When they heard the sound of guns and artillery explosions in the city of Nanjing, they all thought that the Japanese army had invaded the city of Nanjing. Those who surrendered to the Japanese army, took off their clothes and hid in civilian houses, there was really everything, and the 80,000 troops who were supposed to defend the city of Nanjing became like a swarm of headless flies at this time.

Yu Jishi, commander of the 74th Army, was a relative of Jiang Zhong, a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, and his uncle was the head of the quartermaster department of the Huangpu Military Academy and the cousin of Jiang Zheng.

The 74th Army, which saw the small steamer, shouted to the sky, while the other troops were even more blushing, and finally, the various units began to not let go of even the wooden door panels. The eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and each found a way to cross the river.

Such a noisy scene made the whole city of Nanjing wake up.

-- Jiang Xinzhou

This is a piece of land in the middle of the Yangtze River, one big and one small, the large area is 15 square kilometers, and the small one is one or two square kilometers, Jiang Cheng's pontoon bridge is built on these two islands, at this time Qinglong Mountain has been under the fire of the Japanese army, Jiang Cheng took people to move here, Jiang Cheng looked at Nanjing City in the distance on the mountain of Jiang Xinzhou and said, "They should be discussing the retreat now." ”

Zhou Weiguo next to him said, "Brigade Commander Zhu said that Senior Commander Sun has been called and should be in a meeting." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Weiguo, are there any of your relatives in Nanjing?" I remember that your fiancée seems to be in Nanjing City, so let's get him out quickly. ”

Zhou Weiguo scratched his head, nodded and said, "There is no order to retreat yet, as an officer, it seems that I should not evacuate my relatives first." ”

Jiang Cheng knocked on the steel helmet on his head and said, "Pedantic, when is it, still say these words, withdraw as soon as possible, be safe as soon as possible, send a few brothers, by the way, ask our team members, see if there are any relatives in Nanjing, gather on the shore first, wait for the pontoon bridge together, and withdraw immediately." ”

At this time, Jiang Cheng saw that the river not far away seemed to be full of people, Jiang Cheng looked at it and said, "What's the matter?" Send someone to see it right away. ”

After a while, a member of the team came over with a national soldier and said, "Boss, Brigade Commander Zhu has sent someone." ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "Commander Tang ordered the whole army to evacuate Nanjing, and now that the city of Nanjing is in chaos, let the brigade commander act immediately." ”

Jiang Cheng asked, "What about Brigade Commander Zhu?" Why didn't he come? ”

The soldier listened to the voice and said, "The station of our brigade is Yuhuatai, and the brigade seat says that the position is too important, and the pontoon bridge was built by him in tandem, if he escapes, it means that he is afraid of death, and there should be a martyred general in Nanjing." He was willing to be the first. ”

Jiang Cheng's eyes were red and he said, "Confused, this Nanjing city is at this point, where is it guarded?" Bhashun! You immediately bring someone to rescue Brigade Commander Zhu back, if I guess correctly, the devil will know about our situation here immediately, in addition. Send a telegram to the organizations in the city of Nanjing, telling them to retreat immediately. ”

In fact, most of the college students in Nanjing have been evacuated, and more of them are students from the vicinity of Nanjing, who are in danger of returning home, so it is better to stay in the city of Nanjing, where there is a large army.

"What, let's leave overnight?" A middle-aged teacher-like man said in surprise.

"This is the order of 203, and in the regulations of the Central Special Branch, 203 is only second to the direct order of the Central Committee, and it is the same level as the order issued by the Special Branch. We must obey. A young woman said.

"But we still have a lot of things to prepare, and the people, it's too difficult to organize it late at night." A middle-aged man dressed like a worker said.

"No matter how difficult it is, everyone knows that the Japanese are preparing to organize a massacre in the city of Nanjing, although this news is really unbelievable, but everyone look at it. 203 and the Party Central Committee attach so much importance to this matter, which means that this matter has a certain degree of authenticity. We can't be sinners, so I suggest retreating now. The young woman said.

"Alright, then let's act immediately, everyone acts according to the plan, and try to guide the people in the direction of the library. That's the entrance to the pontoon.

-- In the city of Nanjing

"Uncle Liu, Liu Yan, hurry up." With anxious cries and frantic knocks on the door, kerosene lamps lit up the surrounding houses one after another.

"Who? Late in the middle of the night? Still don't let people sleep? Liu Yan yawned and opened the door and saw that it was Hu Ping. Surprised: "Hu Ping, why are you here?" What's going on this big night? ”

Hu Ping saw Liu Yan wearing pajamas and was unprepared, so he pushed him over angrily and said, "Liu Yan, you are sick, how many times have I told you, you are ready to leave Nanjing City at any time in the past few days, why are you still like this, you, you want to be angry with me?" ”

"Ahem, hum~" With a majestic coughing sound, Liu Sanfa came over and said, "What's the matter?" In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, what are you going to do? ”

Hu Ping didn't bother to argue with him, and said directly, "Uncle Liu, the national army is about to abandon the city, you hurry up and get ready, and leave Nanjing City with us." ”

"What? The National Army abandoned the city? The Tang Shengzhi raised by the turtle grandson is not kept? Liu Sanfa's eyes widened and he said in surprise. It's only been a few days, and it's about to retreat, which is a joke.

Hu Ping said anxiously, "It's not a joke, it's true, Tang Shengzhi is gone, now the 74th Army is also going to run, wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the defenders of the entire Nanjing City will definitely run, the devil enters the city to kill people, Uncle Liu, you just listen to my advice, let's go." ”

Liu Yan saw Hu Ping coming to him again and again to ask him to leave Nanjing, knowing that the Red Party had really gotten some inside information, and also persuaded him, "Grandpa, let's go, now it's red and white cooperation, and the Red Party won't lie to us." ”

As soon as he said this, Liu San looked at him angrily and said, "The Red Party has deceived us less, if it wasn't for Chairman Jiang's cleverness back then, the world would have been taken away by this group of mud legs." ”

"It's good to be taken away by the Japanese now?" Hu Ping said-for-tat, and the two stared at each other like bullfights.

Hu Ping first turned his face and said, "Liu Yan, I tried my best." Remember to run to the Nanjing Library, all the way to the river, there is someone answering, and I have to inform the other people, goodbye. ”

Liu Yan watched this Qianying leave, and stretched out his hand to grab something, but was beaten down by Liu Sanfa, "It looks like it's not promising." Haven't you ever seen a woman? You really like it. I'll just go and tell the Hu family, now it's like this, you won't care about her in the future? ”

Liu Yan said in surprise when he heard it, "Grandpa, did you agree?" ”

Liu San smiled and said, "This little girl is a little bold, much stronger than you waste, the devil will be driven out one day, in the future, it will be either the white party or the red party, you marry a red party, there is only good and no harm to our family, okay, let everyone prepare, go to the library first to have a look." ”

At this time, the left-behind students of various schools were gathered and began to put the things that had been prepared long ago into the car. Since there were no horses in Nanjing, no one could get a truck or anything, so the students could only take turns pushing them.

"I said, Fang Kun, when is it, these things will be lost." It was an underground member of the Red Party who spoke. His name is Li Rengang, and he is the vice principal of the middle school. And Fang Kun is the principal.

Fang Kun tied the box vigorously and said, "These are all unique books, these books are treasures left by the ancestors, and they can't be lost." All right. Saying that, Fang Kun slapped the box hard and said, "Children, let's pull together." As he spoke, he started to push it up from behind.

"Old Fang, it's not good, Mr. Jiang is reluctant to go." A middle-aged woman ran over and said anxiously.

Fang Kun lifted his glasses and shouted, "Isn't this nonsense, now I finally have the opportunity to get out of the city." If you don't leave now, when will you go? Wait for the devil's plane to during the day before leaving? I'll take a look. ”

Li Rengang said worriedly, "Why don't I go, you take the children to withdraw, are the children all together?" ”

Fang Kun stood on tiptoe and looked at it and shouted, "Zhao Yan, come here!" ”

It was a young female teacher who came over.

"Zhao Yan, you go to each class and ask, are all the people together, Lao Li. You take people away first, and I'll go see that old man Jiang. Alas. What kind of worldly way? With that, Fang Kun and the middle-aged woman left.

Fang Kun entered the room and saw a gray-haired uncle lying on the bed, his walls were full of photos.

"Jiang Xu, get up quickly, come with us." Fang Kun sat on the edge of the bed and said.

Jiang Xu turned around, pointed to the wall again, and said, "Look at it." From Xuantong, Xinhai, and the Northern Expedition to today, the city of Nanjing has changed hands countless times, but the city has never fallen into the hands of foreigners. If we all run away, what will the Japanese think of us? ”

Saying that, Jiang Xu sat up and shouted, "They will say that we are a group of cowards, who dare not even stay in their own capital, and only dare to flee when they see the enemy." With that, he turned around and lay down again and said, "If the Japanese really will kill me, let me die standing and let everyone know that we will not give in." ”

Fang Kun pointed at him and said, "Why are you bothering here? ”

Jiang Xu pointed to a box at the door and said, "This is the result of my lifelong research on Qing history, you take it away, when the world is stable, someone will make up this one day, take it away, I hope I can reduce the work for future generations." ”

The door slowly closed, Jiang Xu stood up and looked at the sky, sighed slowly, patted the railing and said, "Republic of China!" My Republic of China! Hehe. ”

-- Pontoon hatching

Zhou Weiguo looked at a few dark forts and nodded, at this time it was already dawn, and Zhou Weiguo saw several planes flying through the sky, which were Japanese planes. The Japanese must soon find out that Nanjing is abnormal, and there is not much time.

"Here, captain, you see someone coming." A member of the special operations team said.

Zhou Weiguo looked at it, but it was a group of students who were pushing the vehicle slowly, and Zhou Weiguo hurriedly shouted, "Okay, quickly pull up the pontoon bridge." ”

I only saw the sound of the motor in a dark bunker, a sound of iron chains, and the pontoon bridge was slowly pulled up from the water, in fact, the pontoon bridge was only a few centimeters underwater, and it only had the effect of hiding people's ears. Several fighters quickly ran up the bridge, and they wanted to ensure the safety and reliability of the bridge.

The team soon arrived, and one of the students at the front handed over an envelope and said, "This is the letter of introduction, this is the students and teachers of the eighth middle school." ”

Zhou Weiguo hurriedly beckoned and said, "Hurry up and get on the bridge, hurry up, the devil's plane will soon find us." ”

Saying that, Zhou Weiguo led the soldiers and began to guide the students across the bridge. If you look from above, you can see that there are convoys and crowds of people running here in all directions.

At this moment, a group of men dressed as sappers ran towards the bridge with a troop.

"Wait, don't squeeze it." A car was lifted by the army, and the students next to it called out.

"Get out of here, damn, these people actually know about it, okay, brothers, rush me, God knows when this devil will come, let's cross the bridge!!" A man dressed as an officer laughed.

Zhou Weiguo saw a group of chaotic soldiers rushing towards him, frowned and shouted, "Everyone hurry up and cross the river, Erniu, tell the brothers to get ready and bring the microphone." ”

Zhou Weiguo took the microphone and shouted, "Brother of the National Army in front, please stop!" Otherwise you're welcome!! ”

The officer smiled and said, "Ya, we are not here to be polite, we built this bridge, and now we have no problem going up, right?" Give it to me, brethren! (To be continued......)
