These fund-raising offices on the dock square were set up by the remnants of the army.

Among the more than a dozen divisions in the defense of Nanjing, it is difficult to determine which unit fought the most heroically, but it is absolutely the army that said which unit fought the most poorly

The Japanese army had just approached the city of Nanjing, and before it had officially launched an attack, Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the army and the commander of the RR division, left the army and absconded alone, and the officers and soldiers who lost their command could only fight on their own, and finally the brigade commander Zhu Chi and the 4th brigade commander Gao Zhisong died one after another, and the army was almost wiped out.

However, some officers and men of the RR Division still escaped across the river and withdrew all the way to Jingzhou with the 74th Army.

After Sun Yuanliang fled to Wuhan unscathed, before he could get in touch with the remnants of the army, his bad deeds of leaving the army and escaping alone came to light, and Chairman Chiang had no way to protect his confidants and generals this time, so he could only order Sun Yuanliang to be arrested and imprisoned and handed over to a military court for trial.

Sun Yuanliang was arrested and imprisoned, and the remnants of the army immediately became a group of orphans who had no father's pain and no mother's relatives, and the 74th Army had Yu Jishi, the commander of the army, plus Wang Yaowu and Feng Shengfa, the two division commanders, and life was tight, and it was conceivable what kind of treatment the army would have, and it was no better than the 19th Brigade.

The Central Military Commission has also been inconclusive on whether or not to abolish the establishment of the armed forces.

As a result, hundreds of remnants of the army could only survive in Jingmen and Shashi, and they could not rob them if they did not allocate food and salaries, so they had no choice but to reach out to the people of Jingmen and Shashi to raise donations, but the fundraising was illegal, and the people here were also poor, and the income was only enough for hundreds of remnants to barely make ends meet.

Now seeing that Shu Tongwen has completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the people of Jingmen and Shashi, after half a day's effort, the materials in the fundraising office of the 19th Brigade have been piled up, and there is even a whole half-basket of the current ocean on the side Seeing this, how can the remnants of the army still be calm?

Damn it, your 74th Army has food and salary, and even came to pick food from our army's mouth, this is deliberately trying to force our army to a dead end, your uncle, don't let us live, don't think about it, the remnants of the army defeated the generals were red-eyed in an instant, and soon gathered more than 100 people, picked up the guy and killed it.

Seeing more than 100 ragged soldiers with fierce eyes driving over, the people nearby fled one after another.

Yu Huan, Su Mu and more than a dozen other martial arts students had the courage to try to step forward to stop them, but they were soon knocked to the ground by these red-eyed defeated soldiers, Yu Huan, Su Mu and several delicate female students also received a few rifle butts, Yu Huan's forehead was broken, and blood flowed all over his face, these defeated soldiers were really able to do it.

Shu Tongwen even became a human sandbag, and was beaten by the defeated soldiers and almost lost his breath.

The defeated soldiers vented fiercely, and before leaving, they robbed Shu Tongwen of the materials and money that he had not easily raised, Shu Tongwen struggled to get up, and clutched the half basket of the ocean.

When Shu Tongwen woke up from a coma, there was only a mess left at the scene, all the materials and money had been looted, many people were pointing around, and in the face of the internal strife and fire of the national army, they were also at a loss, and the dozen or so students did not leave, and were helping to clean up the overturned wooden shelves and photos.

Shu Tongwen wanted to cry without tears, at this time, he would do another fundraiser, but I was afraid that there would be no gain, thinking that there were more than 100 brothers in Guandi Temple waiting for dinner, Shu Tongwen was even more heartbroken, no money and no materials, how can the more than 100 brothers of the 19th Brigade live? How can this live?

Seeing Shu Tongwen sitting there stunned, Yu Huan felt inexplicably distressed, stepped forward and squatted down in front of Shu Tongwen, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood stains on Shu Tongwen's face, and asked with concern: "Hey, are you okay?" ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Shu Tongwen got up in a daze and walked to the Jingjiang embankment in a daze.

A small steamer spews black smoke and is slowly moving up the Jingjiang River.

Xu Jiu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands on his waist, looked at a stone rock that suddenly stretched into the river in front of him, and said to Gao Shenxing on his side: "Shen Xing, that should be Guanyin Rock, right?" ”

Gao Shenxing nodded and replied, "It should be." ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Inheriting the river and stifling the water potential, it is worthy of being the first rock in the world"

However, compared to watching the magnificent river scenery of Jingjiang Embankment and Guanyin Rock, Xu Shijiu was more eager to arrive in Shashi early in order to meet the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade as soon as possible

After Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing left Yangzhuang, they did not cross the Yangtze River north, but traveled all the way west to Jiujiang without danger, and then took a boat from Jiujiang to go up the Yangtze River and arrived in Wuhan.

The little steamer approached Guanyin Rock, and saw a figure jumping into the river with a pop.

"It's not good, someone jumped into the river" Xu Shijiu did not hesitate, quickly took off his military uniform, and then jumped into the icy river, the river was very cold, but Xu Shijiu could still hold on in a short time, and at the moment he paddled hard to swim to the rock, at this time someone on the rock also found out, and reminded Xu Shijiu loudly, "This way, over here." ”

Under the guidance of the shore, Xu 19 quickly found the person who jumped into the river, and then grabbed his collar and swam to the shore, Zuihou dragged the person up with the help of the person on the shore, in just ten minutes, Xu 19 almost collapsed, after the last serious injury, his body has not fully recovered after all.

Shu Tongwen was at a loss and went to Guanyin Rock, closed his eyes and jumped forward, the next moment the cold river water had surrounded him completely, Shu Tongwen had already saved his will to die, and he didn't even struggle, but the tumbling river rolled around him and floated, sinking and floating, and then slowly lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took in the void, Shu Tongwen slowly regained consciousness.

opened his eyes a little dazedly, but Shu Tongwen saw a familiar face, it was the captain, it turned out to be the captain, it seemed that he was really dead this time, otherwise how could he see the captain? At that moment, Shu Tongwen was sad, and said miserably: "Captain, I have failed to live up to your expectations, I failed to take care of the brothers, I am useless." ”

"Arwen?" Seeing that the person he inadvertently rescued turned out to be Shu Tongwen, Xu Shijiu was surprised and delighted, happy that he finally saw the brothers of the 19th Brigade again, but what surprised him was that Shu Tongwen was going to commit suicide? Could it be that Arwen had an accident on the way to retreat, and all the brothers were gone?

"Arwen, it's okay, it's okay, I'm back, I'm back." Xu Nineteen was anxious in his heart, and he had the heart to ask about the situation of the Nineteenth Brigade, but when the words came to his mouth, they all became words of relief to Shu Tongwen.

Just when he was relieved, the small steamer had already docked, and Gao Shenxing also jumped up.

Seeing that it was Shu Tongwen, Gao Shenxing's indifferent face finally revealed a touch of excitement, at this time, Shu Tongwen also saw the female student with a worried face behind Xu Shijiu, so he pinched his thigh vigorously, it was a heart-piercing pain, Shu Tongwen was a little crazy for a while, didn't he die?

"Arwen is fine, I'm back, it's okay."

The familiar voice sounded in his ears again, and Shu Tongwen was finally convinced that he was not dead, and the captain was not dead

Suddenly, the huge sense of happiness completely filled Shu Tongwen, but then, Shu Tongwen had a sour nose and then hugged Xu Shijiu's thigh and cried, and cried without any image.

"Captain, Captain, you're back, you're back, ......"

"I'm back, it's okay, I'm back." Xu Shijiu patted Shu Tongwen's shoulder over and over again, repeating the words of relief over and over again, "I'm back, it's okay, it's okay......"

In Guandi Temple, Ergua was lying in a straw pile boredly catching fleas.

Li Mu lay beside him, staring blankly at the beams and pillars above his head, and said weakly to the black blind man not far away: "Brother Heizi, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry......"

The black blind man sighed silently, there were five hundred fiat currency in his pocket, but unfortunately he couldn't exchange it for half a catty of rice, the national government began to print fiat currency frantically in the past six months, and the fiat currency has been seriously depreciated, and the depreciation rate is getting faster and faster, the exchange of fiat currency for silver dollars is almost a price a day, and now small traders around the country do not dare to accept fiat currency at all.

Now I can only count on Shu Tongwen, if he can't get supplies, everyone will really starve to death.

Without warning, Xiao Hei, who was lying on his side with his head drooping under the statue of Guan Gong, suddenly raised his head, and then, Shu Tongwen rushed into the main hall of Guan Temple as if he was crazy, shouting: "It's back, it's back, haha, the captain is back, brothers, the captain is back, it's back."

The black blind man sat up with a swish, Ergua, Li Mu and the six veterans also jumped up like springs, Cao Jiao and Gu Yaqin also rushed out of the side hall with shocked faces, and more than 100 wounded people who were already dizzy with hunger and only half a breath left also opened their eyes, especially the dozen or so wounded of the original 19th Brigade, which was full of surprise.

Everyone's eyes turned to the gate in unison, and then, Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing appeared.

"Whoosh" A black shadow was the first to pounce out of the main hall, and pounced on Gao Shenxing behind Xu Shijiu, it was the military dog Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei rushed to Gao Shenxing like lightning, stretched out his front paws to put Gao Shenxing on his body, and then stretched out his tongue to lick Gao Shenxing's face, this beast is really spiritual, and he still remembers Gao Shenxing who really saved it.

Immediately afterwards, the black blind man, Ergua, Li Mu and the six veterans pounced on him, and surrounded Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing in the middle, Cao Jiao and Gu Yaqin also surrounded them, their beautiful eyes were red but they couldn't hold back their tears, Ergua didn't cry this time, just hugged Xu Shijiu's arm daxiao, hysterically daxiao......
