At this time, there were still many students on the bridge, and a large number of goods and personnel piled up at the bridge, seeing the rebels shooting and robbing the bridge, for a while, the whole bridge was in chaos, Zhou Weiguo saw that it was useless to shout, and some students and teachers were injured, and hurriedly shouted, "Damn, shoot me, shoot!" ”

I saw that the machine gun in the bunker immediately spit out tongues of fire, and the soldiers who shot in front didn't expect that the other side really dared to shoot, and they were instantly shot with pieces of blood, and more than a dozen people were killed on the spot, and the bullets of the heavy machine guns broke these soldiers into several pieces, and blood and internal organs were spilled on the ground. The remaining rebel army was also crushed and did not dare to raise its head.

Zhou Weiguo yelled, "Listen to me, you are soldiers, these are the people, don't let the people go first, what kind of soldiers are you?" ”

"Lao Tzu is a soldier just to eat well, not for the people, this bridge was built by Lao Tzu, what's wrong with Lao Tzu?" The officer scolded. The angry Zhou Weiguo rushed up and pulled it up, and there were two big mouths and said, "Aren't you a common man?" Isn't your mother a common man? This bridge is for the people to walk first!! Lao Tzu is with you here, okay? ”

"My family is all dead, and I'm the only one." The officer muttered.

Zhou Weiguo threw the officer to the ground and said, "You are not allowed to leave until these people are gone, and Lao Tzu will leave with you last!" As he spoke, he pointed a gun at the others and said, "If you are not convinced, stand up, there are more than 20 machine guns waiting for you behind me!" Besides, did you just cross the bridge and think you could get ashore safely? ”

Looking at the blood on the ground and the corpses that were beaten into several pieces, everyone didn't dare to speak, at this time a Japanese plane flew over, Zhou Weiguo saw that the Japanese machine had obviously noticed everyone, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

It dawned on the students to push the vehicle forward.

But the pontoon bridge floated uncertainly, and where it was possible to walk the car, and after a while, the car slipped and fell. Zhou Weiguo was so anxious that he shouted, "Throw away all those bottles and cans for me, people come first, quickly!" Fast! Saying that, Zhou Weiguo threw all the vases and the like in a car to the side of the road, and then prepared to throw the box.

"Don't, this is a vase from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, oops. This is the teapot in the Zhengde period, this book can't be lost, this is a lone book. A bespectacled professor jumped at the sight of it.

Zhou Weiguo roared angrily, "When is it, this is a pontoon bridge, it's good for people to walk over, how can so many things be moved?" Don't stop, hurry up and cross the river!! ”

——Outside Nanjing

Just as Zhou Weiguo's nervous command staff crossed the river, the Japanese troops outside Nanjing finally discovered that something was wrong. The position on the opposite side, which was originally fighting with himself, was silent at this time.

"Nani? Is the information true? The Chinese army is actually on the run? Matsui said in disbelief.

"It's true, Your Excellency, Commander." The staff officer said excitedly: "Our air force has discovered a large number of Chinese troops in Xiaguan in Nanjing, and they are rushing to cross the Yangtze River. A pontoon bridge was also found four or five miles further west, which must have been built by the Chinese army, and are now being evacuated. ”

Matsui Ishine laughed and said, "The people of Shina are really all waste, order the troops, the whole army to attack, and take the city of Nanjing as a gift to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The Japanese army marched into the position outside Nanjing. The Japanese tanks rushed to the outside of Guanghua Gate, and the previous Nationalist Army blocked the gate with sandbags. The Japanese army used heavy artillery to blast open the city wall of Guanghua Gate, only to see the Japanese soldiers talking and laughing into Guanghua Gate, they already knew that all the enemies had fled, and now it was just an armed march.

"Little devil, go die!!" A burst of gunfire broke the two officers at the front into several pieces. Perhaps none of the top brass of the Nationalist Army dared to lead their troops to resist. But this does not mean that all national armies are willing to give up resistance.

Yi Anhua, commander of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division, personally led one regiment to counterattack at Guanghuamen in the northeast outside Tongji Gate, and Chen Yiding, commander of the 361st Brigade, also led two battalions to launch a counterattack from Qingliang Lane to flank the enemy at Guanghuamen.

The Japanese army never imagined that there would be Chinese troops who did not retreat but approached, and fought street battles with them at Guanghuamen.

The 87th Division was the first unit to enter the battle in the Battle of Songhu, and their division commander at this time. The army commanders had already fled, and only two brigade commanders spontaneously led their troops to stop the enemy.

The machine gun sound of the MG-34 resounded throughout the Guanghua Gate, and the Japanese troops were suppressed in front of the city wall, Yi Anhua said with a smile, "Lao Chen, don't you regret coming with me to do this vote?" ”

Chen Yiding personally operated a mortar and shouted, "Those who are division commanders and army commanders have all received the news that Nima has run away, if we run again." If future generations talk about the German mechanic, I'm afraid there will only be infamy, damn, to Lao Tzuzhong! ”

The shell hit one of the devil's grenadier positions accurately. Chen Yiding laughed and said, "Happy, brothers, we are one of the few 187 divisions in the country that can get full salary, and the equipment is also the best, the country has not failed us, the people support us, today, in our capital, we don't want to go home, let's die together!" ”

At this time, the Japanese began their favorite white-knuckle battle, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed forward behind the Japanese artillery barrage with bayonets.

Yi Anhua picked up the Mauser rifle, loaded the bayonet, stood up straight as he did when he was studying at the Whampoa Military Academy, and shouted, "All the army! Get on the bayonet! Die and die! ”

All the soldiers, some with bandages, some with sapper shovels, some with rifles, shouted "Die to the death!" "Rushed up.

The 87th Division was the best equipped, the most well-paid, and the most rigorously trained Nationalist Army, and it was not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of physique and technology, and for a while, the Japanese army was pressed back by the 87th Division. Bayonets continued to enter the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and from time to time there were explosions that were all lost.

"Damn it! Shell me!! Gu Shoufu looked at the defeated troops who were being beaten and retreated, and said angrily.

And the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield have been driven out of Guanghua Gate by Yi Anhua, Yi Anhua brandished a rifle and picked up a Japanese military hat and said with a smile, "Look, the devil is just like this, what a bayonet is the best in the world, bullshit!" ”

"That is, who is the brigade? Huangpu high-achieving students, this little devil ran into a brigade. That's when you hit your nemesis. The soldiers said as they ran towards their positions.

At this time, a whistling of cannonballs was heard.

"Hidden!!" Chen Yiding shouted anxiously, but it was too late, Yi Anhua, who was holding a rifle, looked at Chen Yiding with a smile, and disappeared into the countless fires.

"Blessed as !!" Chen Yiding stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grasp something, but he couldn't grasp anything. Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes. He seemed to hear the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy again: "Students, dear and sincere, Three People's Principles, is the forerunner of my revolution."

Revolutionary heroes, national vanguards, make persistent efforts and continue the success of martyrs.

Classmates are like-minded, happy to follow the teachings, and end up living and dying. Don't forget our school today.

Sprinkle flowers with blood, write at school, taste courage with salary, and strive to build China. ”

"What are we going to do, Brigade?" An officer asked anxiously as he watched most of the soldiers who had just rushed out disappear into the Japanese artillery fire.

Chen Yiding wiped away his tears, stared at the gap in the city wall that was blown up, and said, "Fight to the death!" Martyrdom! ”

Gu Shoufu was blocked at Guanghua Gate. On the other side, Sadao Ushijima of the 18th Division also bumped into his head in Yuhuatai.

Yuhuatai is a hilly area one kilometer south of the Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing. The highest altitude is 60 meters, which is the southern pass of Nanjing, formerly known as the "South Gate of Jinling". Since ancient times, Yuhuatai is the place where heroes shed their blood, and Yang Bangyi of the Southern Song Dynasty was cut by the enemy in this anti-Jin soldiers, leaving a swan song for the ages; Yin Weijun, the heroine of the Xinhai Revolution, resisted the Qing army in Yuhuatai for ten days and ten nights, and finally won the final victory for the revolutionary army. Leave an immortal name.

Although Zhu Chi and the instructor stationed here lost the command of the headquarters, they both decided to defend until the last moment, and Ushijima Sadao rushed up one wing after another, but only left countless corpses.

Zhu Chi looked at Ma Weilong and Gao Zhisong, who stayed together, and said, "Are you really willing to stay?" Is this a place of death? ”

Gao Zhisong said hehehe, "This eternal beauty can't let your old Zhu take it alone, don't be stingy." ”

Zhu Chi looked around and said, "I've already told you two. There is a pontoon bridge over there in the Nanjing Library, you can walk, I really can't walk, the two of you still have a useful body to serve the party-state. ”

Ma Weilong shouted, "Be careful, devil's plane!" ”

I only saw dozens of planes bombing this small hill in turn, and the vegetation on the hill was blown everywhere.

"Brigade, someone is looking for you." A communications soldier shouted in braving artillery fire.

Zhu Chi looked at it, but it was Ba Shun who had a relationship, and hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" How dangerous is it here? ”

Ba Shun said indifferently, "The devil's plane can't kill us, our host asked Brigade Commander Zhu to withdraw quickly, the pontoon bridge has been pulled up, the students and people are retreating, Brigade Commander Zhu, you should also withdraw quickly." ”

Zhu Chi pointed to the Japanese troops outside the fortifications and said, "Once the devils occupy here, they can shell the entire city of Nanjing, and no one will be able to leave at that time, and I really can't leave." Hurry up and withdraw from your host, let's just say that the most right thing I, Zhu someone, has done in my life is to help Mr. Jiang. ”

Ba Shun saw that Zhu Chi was reluctant to leave, so he wanted to knock him out and take him away, but he only saw Zhu Chi pointing a gun at himself and said, "If you dare to take me forcibly, I will die here, but Brigade Commander Ma and Brigade Commander Gao, you two withdraw, I am enough for one person here." ”

Gao Zhisong just wanted to speak, only to feel a pain in his neck and fainted, Ma Weilong smiled and took the pistol and said, "I call it the first strike, who is it, you take him away, and then take away a hundred of our three brigades, it will be regarded as leaving seeds for our troops, remember, avenge Lao Tzu in the future!" ”

After speaking, looking at Ba Shun or hesitating, Ma Weilong shot the ground and shouted, "Is it that Lao Tzu used artillery bombardment to make you move?" ”

Seeing this, Ba Shun sighed, picked up Gao Zhisong and led the people, stopped with the Japanese artillery plane, and left Yuhuatai with the 300 selected national troops.

Ma Weilong looked at Zhu Chi and said, "Old Zhu, let's do a good job now." ”

Zhu Chi nodded and said, "Okay, wow, let's see, who is the first brigade of the 88th Division between our two brigades." ”

Ma Weilong took a puff of his cigarette and said, "How many times is this the first competition?" 192nd or 193rd? Forget it, it doesn't matter, it's the last time anyway!"

- Pontoon hatching

At this time, a large number of people had gathered on the pontoon bridge, Zhou Weiguo led the troops to continue to maintain, ordering the rebellious army to organize the people to cross the river, under the supervision of machine guns and the temptation of fleeing across the river, most of the people obeyed the order, and the soldiers and officers who did not obey the order saw nearly 100 heads hanging high. I don't dare to act rashly anymore, not to mention, everyone knows that on the other side of the pontoon, there are people from this group of people.

Zhou Weiguo saw that there were more and more people, and there were still a large number of people. The people are reluctant to lose anything, they bring any tables and chairs, and the grandmothers and grandfathers have to stop for a while.

Zhou Weiguo was in a hurry, and Jiang Cheng, who was on the other side of the bridge, was also in a hurry, it was already past nine o'clock, and the Japanese planes would come at any time, and there were only a few thousand people who retreated to this side of the Yangtze River, which was too slow. Jiang Cheng stomped his feet and said, "Order Zhou Weiguo." Lost all the people's packages to me, people are the most important, and if you continue to suppress it like this, the army over there will not be able to control it, order those troops to take a single pontoon bridge, and the other two for the people, let the people hurry up! ”

Hear it's time to cross the bridge. The Nationalist Army, which had completely lost its strength, shouted and ran towards the pontoon bridge like a mad dog that had escaped from the brisle. Zhou Weiguo looked at the movements of these soldiers, looking at the noble lady who was unwilling to leave a cart of boxes to death, he angrily walked over and slapped the noble lady who slapped him twice, and the bodyguard next to the noble lady hurriedly said, "Do you know who this is?" Do you know who our lord is? Seat of the Commissioner"

Zhou Weiguo's gun was dead against this bodyguard and said, "Either you give me the bridge, or." You guys put me in the water!! ”

At this time, the Japanese planes finally came to the sky above the pontoon.

"Damn, what to do?" Zhou Weiguo looked at the plane that was about to rush over and shouted anxiously.

"Haha, come on, little devil. I've been waiting for a long time! I only saw Wang Yong, who didn't know when he came out of Jiang Xinzhou, carrying a long box-like thing. A flash of fire came out of the box and flew straight towards the Japanese planes rushing over, and the flames blew up the Japanese planes to smithereens. Then, several more flashes of fire blew several planes into flames in turn.

"Yaga, what's that?" The Japanese air force said in surprise, hurriedly raised the height, dropped the bomb from a distance and ran away.

It was an anti-aircraft missile brought by Jiang Cheng from later generations.

The dropped bombs did not blow up the pontoon, but the splash still drenched the people on the bridge.

"What do you see? Don't hurry up and cross the river! Zhou Weiguo saw that everyone was stupid, and shot and shouted.

Suddenly, the screams were everywhere, and countless people no longer waited, but rushed to the pontoon bridge in a swarm, not wanting any luggage, just wanting to escape before the Japanese army blew up the pontoon bridge, and some people saw the Japanese plane coming, dispelled the idea of leaving Nanjing, and prepared to go home and wait for a new life under the rule of the Japanese army.

"What's that? Hu Ping: Do you know? Liu Yan asked curiously.

Hu Ping shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it seems that the Japanese planes don't dare to approach the bombing for a while, so let's hurry up and cross the bridge." ”

Liu Sanfa looked at the splash on the river, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!" Nizi, what about your brother's family? ”

When Hu Ping heard this, she said helplessly, "My brother, they have made up their minds to stay in Nanjing, I hope they will be fine." ”

At this time, the number of people gathered at the bridgehead was close to thirty or forty thousand.

- Outside Nanjing, "Nani? The people of China have anti-aircraft artillery? Or is it a large-caliber one? Matsui Ishine looked at the intelligence and said in disbelief, "Yes, seven of our planes have been knocked down, what should we do?" If this happens, the Chinese army will all run away. The staff officer said anxiously.

Matsui Ishine snorted, "Order the planes to bomb at high altitudes, non-stop bombing, and be sure to cut off the retreat of the Shina people." ”

The pontoon bridge was completely out of control, the frenzied crowds and soldiers were huddled in a heap, and the bombs that kept falling from the sky made the whole atmosphere tense to the extreme.

"Damn, tell Wang Yong to knock these bastards down these bastard iron birds for me!" Jiang Cheng shouted as he looked at the plane that kept.

Wang Yong was sweating profusely, and he and the air defense team had already shot down no less than 20 planes, but the Japanese planes were frantically attacking here as if they were crazy.

Finally, another plane was hit, but there was no volley explosion, only to see the plane rush straight to the pontoon, after a huge explosion, a pontoon bridge was blown up, and the people on the bridge fell into the water like dumplings.

The people who had fled to Jiangxinzhou and Jiang Cheng and others on the other side of the Yangtze River were stunned to see the pontoon bridge being blown up, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and turned around and didn't dare to look again, the Yangtze River Moon in December was cold and biting, and the chances of survival of those who fell into the water were too small.

The people on the other two pontoon bridges ran even more frantically, and even the old men of seventy or eighty years old were running at this time, and everyone knew about it, but those who did not go to the bridge did not dare to go on the bridge except for the army, and the people flinched.

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "That's it, in the troubled times, let's have a destiny, let Zhou Weiguo retreat as soon as possible, we did our best." ”

When Jiang Cheng's last pontoon bridge broke, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and more than 30 Japanese planes were shot down, which was the most instantaneous time in a battle of the Japanese air force, more than 50,000 people reached the other side of the Yangtze River through three pontoon bridges, but there were still 450,000 troops and more than 100,000 civilians left in the city of Nanjing.

Chen Yiding was tied to a wooden plank by soldiers and floated to the opposite bank, and the Nanjing city gate fell.

Jiang Cheng saw Zhou Weiguo, who looked unwilling, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, we have done our best, and next, as long as we kill more devils to avenge them." ”

Zhou Weiguo nodded in agreement, and at this time, Ba Shun also returned, and at the same time brought a message that made Zhou Weiguo crazy. (To be continued......)
