Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 58: The General Martyred
Taking advantage of the short gap in the ceasefire, the remaining dozens of remnants of the national army in Zuihou were hurrying to drink water, rest, and collect weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Japanese army on the battlefield.
War has its own iron law, although the remnants of the national army repelled the attack of the Japanese army and annihilated more than 100 enemies, but the national army is not a heavenly general, they also paid a heavy price, the original national army still has more than 70 remnants, but after a battle there are only less than 30 people left, including six seriously wounded.
That is, Xiao Ri Jianben on the opposite side is demoralized, otherwise as long as they have the courage to attack again, the remnants of the national army will definitely not be able to resist, even if there is Gao Shenxing, the killing god is there, it will not work, a person's liliang is limited after all, no matter how good his marksmanship is, he can't turn the sky, if Xiao Ri is close, just a grenade is enough to solve him.
Looking at the six seriously wounded people who were carried together, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but feel sad, Cao Mancang Huo Ran was also among them, in Zuihou's counterattack, a ricocheting bullet hit his forehead, and the bullet penetrated the forehead bone and wedged deeply into the skull, Cao Mancang has not breathed until now, it is already a miracle.
Of course, there are even more miracles, Xu Shijiu still has a warhead in his head that has not been taken out until now.
What makes Xu Shijiu extremely sad is that he can only watch these seriously injured people slowly die in pain, the feeling of powerlessness and guilt that can only watch his comrades die can really make people crazy, Rao is Xu Shijiu has exercised a steely will in countless reincarnations of life and death, and he still feels heart-wrenching pain at this moment.
At this time, a dying wounded man suddenly told Xu Shijiu that there was a military doctor hiding in the church cellar.
The wounded man was one of the two gendarmes who were responsible for escorting Yu Jiaxi, and the other gendarme had died in the battle just now, and the gendarme told Xu 19, and Xu 19 hurriedly asked people to find it, in fact, Xu 19 knew in his heart that there was no medicine and no surgery, and even if a military doctor was hired, he would not be able to save these seriously wounded.
But as human beings, sometimes we need a solace, a hint that we have done our best.
Otherwise, this kind of guilt and guilt will accumulate over the years, and Xu Shijiu will really have an iron will, and he will eventually collapse.
It's just that Xu Shijiu didn't expect that it was Yu Jiaxi.
"Jiaxi?!" Looking at Yu Jiaxi who came out of the broken walls, Xu Shijiu's expression was obviously a little trance.
Yu Jiaxi was about to squat down to inspect the injury of a seriously injured person, when she suddenly heard the call that had echoed countless times in this dream, and the whole person suddenly trembled like an electric shock, got up, turned around, yes, it was him, it was Xu Shijiu, the man who haunted her dreams, the ruthless man!
Xu Shijiu opened his arms towards Yu Jiaxi.
"Ah Jiu?!" Yu Jiaxi burst into tears like rain for a moment, and then flew into Xu Shijiu's arms.
The remnants of the soldiers were not stunned, and after reacting, they were both happy for Xu 19 and extremely sorry for him, and the remnants were happy because Xu 19 was able to reunite with his lover on the battlefield, and they regretted that the lovers who had finally reunited in the flames of war would soon face death together.
Yao Nianci, who came over together, also saw Gao Shenxing, and she couldn't cry silently, she also wanted to throw herself into Gao Shenxing's arms and cry loudly, venting all the grievances, sorrows and lovesickness for more than half a year, but looking at Gao Shenxing's indifferent face, Yao Nianci didn't dare to take this step after all.
didn't care about the parting after saying goodbye, Xu Shijiu asked Yu Jiaxi to hurry up and treat the wounded.
Yu Jiaxi began to treat the wounded, but Xu Shijiu gathered the remaining twenty or so remnants of Zuihou together.
"Brothers, Xiao Ri will definitely not give up after suffering a big loss, and he will definitely mobilize more troops to fight back, and it is even possible to transfer tanks and artillery, just with our more than 20 people plus more than a dozen broken guns, it is impossible to hold it anymore, in short, it can only be a dead end if we continue to defend it, so we have to transfer as soon as possible."
"Chief Xu, if you want me to say it, don't bother with it, just fight with Xiao Ri here." It was Guo Weiquan, the commander of Feng Shengfa's guard company, who spoke out, and after the battle just now, there were only six of the twenty-six veterans of the guard company left, and this Shandong man from the direct army had already been angry with Xiao Ri.
The guards even echoed a few veterans, they no longer cared about life or death, they only wanted revenge now.
"Nope." Xu 19 flatly refused, "Before the situation becomes out of control, we must not give up the hope of life, brothers, our purpose is not to die in Nanjing to seek peace of mind, our purpose is to kill more devils, and only by living, can we kill more devils, so we have to live!" ”
Yu Jiaxi's unexpected appearance made Xu Shijiu feel a strong desire to survive.
Immediately afterwards, Xu 19 said: "What's more, there must be remnants of soldiers like us who are still resisting in the city, we have to gather these brothers scattered in the city of Nanjing and continue to fight with Xiao Ri. ”
Guo Weiquan and several veterans of the guard company were silent, apparently convinced
Xu Shijiu set his eyes on Liao Erwa, the commander of the Northeast Army Company, and Liao Erwa hurriedly said: "Sir, your skills have all been seen by the brothers just now, and you can lead the remnants of the sixty or seventy soldiers to defeat more than 200 officers who have been in charge of more than 200 days, you are the first, you didn't say it, the brothers all listen to you, and you can do whatever you say." ”
"Okay, let me hear it all." Xu Shijiu's cold gaze swept over the faces of the remaining twenty-odd remnants of Zuihou, and said in a deep voice, "Take the wounded and equipment, and transfer immediately!" ”

Yang Qing is a major staff officer of the Nanjing Military Police Corps Headquarters, and in the retreat sequence of the Nanjing Garrison Corps issued by the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters on the 12th, the Nanjing Military Police Corps Headquarters and all the party, government, and military organs left behind in Nanjing belong to the first batch, but Xiao Shanling, acting commander of the Nanjing Military Police Corps, changed his mind after he walked to the Xiaguan Wharf
This is because after the order to abandon Nanjing was issued, the 71st Army, the 72nd Army, the 103rd Division, the 112th Division, the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy, and hundreds of thousands of Nanjing citizens rushed to Xiangxiaguan Wharf, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians rushed to cross the wharf.
There are even soldiers who fire guns arbitrarily, causing riots, resulting in countless people trampling to death between the military and civilians!
Xiao Shanling resolutely dispatched troops to reprimand generals, and took the initiative to take on the important task of maintaining the order of crossing the river, and Xiao Shanling sent effective troops to advance the fortifications of Snake Mountain and Longpan Mountain to resist the Japanese army approaching along the south bank of the Yangtze River to the Xiaguan wharf, and at the same time sent people to dismantle houses and build rafts to assist the Nanjing soldiers and civilians stranded on the Xiaguan wharf to cross the river.
However, the situation soon deteriorated, because Xu Yuanquan's 2nd Army Corps crossed the river and retreated north in advance, so that the door of the Wulongshan defense line was opened, and the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army drove straight in, and soon hit near the Xiaguan Wharf.
Chen Jichuan pulled out a gun to force him, Xiao Shanling was unmoved: "Now the situation is chaotic, each only cares about fleeing for his life, the city is full of scattered soldiers, does not listen to the command, the army and the people's heart can not be stable, if I go, then the major event is suspended, not to mention that it is the duty of our generation of soldiers to defend the land and the country, I should be loyal to the country, defend Nanjing, I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade you anymore." ”
Chen Jichuan, Yang Qing and others could only give up, and Xiao Shanling led the training regiment of the military police corps to repeatedly charge the Japanese army and launched a fierce white-knives battle with the enemy.
The Chinese and Japanese armies fought a bloody battle on the Yangtze River for five hours, the military police corps training regiment ran out of ammunition, most of the officers and soldiers died in battle, the Xiaguan wharf was full of blood, Xiao Shanling was dressed in more than a dozen wounds, Zuihou always shouted loudly, "Kill and become a benevolent, today is also." Then he rushed into the Japanese with a large bundle of grenades, and with a bang, the general was martyred!
After Xiaoshan was martyred, Yang Qing led the remnants to retreat into the city and fought a street battle with the Japanese at Xinjiekou.
As of today, Yang Qingjian has been holding on to Xinjiekou for two days, and there are only more than 20 people left in the department, and they are about to be unable to hold it, Yang Qing gathered the remnants together and gave each person ten pieces of ocean, so that they could flee separately, but more than 20 remnants of the soldiers have said that they want to fight to Zuihou for a moment, and live and die with Nanjing.
In the midst of the blood and fire, these student soldiers have already killed the red eyes and blood
Yang Qing gave each remnant a bundle of high-explosive antimonics, so that the remnants were tied to their bodies, in case Zuihou rushed to the Japanese invaders and died with the enemy, Yang Qing also tied explosives on his body, and then took the remnants into the circular barricade outside the headquarters, quietly waiting for the Japanese army to attack again, waiting for the arrival of the Zuihou moment.
In the evening, the Japanese army began another attack on Xinjiekou, the two remnants in charge of the guard first pulled the fuse and rushed to the Japanese invaders, after the huge explosion, the figures of the two remnants disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the fortified street was also blown up two big pits, and along with the remnants of the soldiers, there were seven or eight Japanese soldiers.
##########
When the loud explosion came, Xu Shijiu was walking through the nearby alleys with more than a hundred remnants.
The previous breakthrough was not smooth, the existence of six seriously wounded and Yu Jiaxi, Yao Nianci and Hong Xing three women caused great difficulties to the entire transfer operation, seeing that they could not get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army, Cao Mancang, who knew that he had become a burden, and the other five seriously wounded took the initiative to ask for a break to win time for the breakthrough of the remnants.
Xu 19 naturally would not agree, when he brought Cao Mancang and other more than 100 seriously wounded to Shanghai, he had sworn in front of the old chief's tablet that no matter what, he would not leave any of the 19th Route Army veterans, over the years, Xu 19 has really not abandoned and not given up.
Cao Mancang did not hesitate to put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and threatened that if Xu Shijiu did not agree, he would immediately pull the trigger, and the other five seriously wounded also begged their comrades in tears, they all understood that if they let their comrades-in-arms break through with them, Zuihou would not want to break out.
Seeing that the Japanese army was surrounded again, Xu Shijiu could only be ruthless.
