Seeing Xu Shijiu knock on the grenade fuse, the seven or eight Japanese soldiers around him turned around and ran, however, before these Japanese soldiers ran away, a faint streamer came from the left rear with a scream of "呲呑", at this time the sky was already slightly darkened, and it could be clearly seen that this was clearly the trajectory drawn by Zi Jian's bullet!

This is...... Reinforcements arrived? The question is where are the reinforcements? Xu Shijiu looked back in amazement, only to see that a person had already stood up in the trench forty or fifty meters away, and the man was holding a flower machine to shoot wildly here, and shouted hoarsely while strafing: "Xiao Ri Yiben, the 19th Brigade is here, suffer death, suffer death......

Coming back to his senses, Xu Shijiu hurriedly threw the grenade and quickly fell to the ground.

Over there, Gao Shenxing reacted faster, and before Xu Shijiu threw away the grenade, he had already turned over and lay down.

After two huge explosions, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had been blown to the ground, Xu Shijiu looked back through the smoke of gunpowder, and saw that more figures had poured out behind the figure, not to mention more than a dozen, and everyone was carrying a flower machine on their chest, and more than a dozen flower machines violently spewed firepower, engulfing the Japanese soldiers at once.

Xiao Ri had piled down more than 20 corpses, and only a dozen of them were left to flee back in a hurry.

The "reinforcements" quickly entered the position, and Xu Shijiu found that the leader was actually Cao Mancang, the secretary general: "Why is Lao Cao you?" I didn't ask you to follow the main force of the division across the river and retreat, why did you come back again? ”

Cao Mancang secretly ran back, he sent Shu Tongwen and Ergua to the north bank of the Yangtze River safely, and then secretly hid in the ferry cabin and returned to the south bank, and then slipped away at night, he didn't want to be a deserter, but to return to Saihongqiao to live and die with Xu 19 and the brothers of the 19th Brigade!

As a result, they met Guo Weiquan and his guard company on the way.

Cao Mancang smiled and said in a low voice: "Captain, our Nineteenth Route Army has never deserted. ”

Xu 19 was a little moved and a little sentimental, if Cao Mancang could cross the river alive, there would still be a real veteran of the 19th Route Army, and now that he is back, there will be no 19th Route Army veteran in this world, sighing, Xu 19 asked Cao Mancang again: "Have the troops crossed the river, and there are still Ah Wen and Ergua?" ”

"I've crossed the river, and they have already crossed the river with the big army." Cao Mancang nodded again and again.

Guo Weiquan, the commander of Feng Shengfa's guard company, stepped forward, saluted Xu Shijiu, and said: "Chief Xu, Shizuo asked me to rush over to meet you, your department's task of breaking off has been completed, now hurry up and break through with us, Shizuo has arranged for a ferry to wait at Sanhankou, if everything goes well, we can cross the river tonight." ”

"That's good, that's good." Xu Shijiu let out a sigh, and his body suddenly shook.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" Cao Mancang hurriedly stepped forward to support Xu Shijiu, only to find that Xu Shijiu's back was all wet and sticky, and when he got closer, it was full of blood, so he was taken aback at the time, and lost his voice, "Captain, are you injured?" Where is the injury, let me see where the injury is? ”

"It's okay, I can't die." Xu Shijiu waved his hand and said, "Let Xiao Ri not make a hole in his back." ”

Cao Mancang stopped talking, and hurriedly took off his military uniform for Xu Shijiu, and found that there was a lot of blood, but the wound was scabbed, so he sprinkled some sulfonamide powder on it, and then bandaged it with gauze.

After the bandaging was completed, Cao Mancang asked, "Captain, what about the other brothers?" ”

"It's all dead, and I'm left with Lao Gao." Xu Jiujiu sighed and said, "If you come a little late, I'm afraid that Lao Gao and I will already lie down." ”

Cao Mancang could only sigh in return, after the nineteenth brigade was ordered to break off, it was originally a mortal mission, Xu Nineteen and Gao Shenxing were still alive, which was already a miracle.

Guo Weiquan urged again: "Chief Xu, if you can still hold on, let's leave quickly." ”

"Yes, yes, while the Japanese army has not yet completed the encirclement, hurry up." Xu Shijiu nodded again and again, and then, he had just stood up, but there was a sudden sound of gunfire from the northwest direction, followed by a dense explosion, listening to the sound, this was obviously not the gunfire of the national army, but it should be the crooked handle of the Japanese army, and there was also a big cover.

"It's broken!" Guo Weiquan's face changed drastically, "The gunfire came from the direction of Sanhankou, and our retreat was cut off!" ”

Xu 19 said: "Judging from the sound of gunfire and explosions, the Japanese army attacking Sanhankou has at least one infantry brigade, as well as 92 infantry guns and 75mm caliber field howitzers. ”

Guo Wei's eyes swept over the inexplicable fierceness, and he said fiercely: "Then break through from the front!" ”

Gao Shenxing reminded extremely coldly: "The front and the left and right flanks are all Japanese troops, and with our little strength, breaking through from the front is simply looking for death." ”

Cao Mancang said: "Then what should I do, I can't wait for death here, right?" ”

Gao Shen said: "The only way to survive is behind us, Xiao Ri has just entered the city, and now he controls a few city gates at most, and we can enter the city from the gap between Zhonghua Gate and Shuixi Gate." ”

"I'm afraid it's a dead end to enter the city!" Guo Weiquan said, "Xiao Ri will definitely search the whole city, and how many days can he hide?" ”

"Hide? We're going to hide? Gao Shenxing picked up the steel helmet from the ground and buckled it heavily on his head, and said, "Nanjing is so big, enough for us to toss and turn, and when we enter the city, we will have fun with Xiao Riben." ”

Inside the Zhonghua Gate, a squad of Japanese soldiers was searching in a small alley

This is a search team of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Tanigawa Wing (47th Infantry Wing), whose mission is to search for the soldiers of the Chinese army who are hiding in the houses, and then escort them to the street to hand them over to other squads, Zuihou escorted them to Nanjing outside the city to be massacred, and before entering the city, Yanagawa Heisuke had already issued an order to kill all the prisoners of war.

As early as yesterday morning, an infantry brigade of the Hasegawa Wing had bypassed the Saihongqiao and killed under the Zhonghua Gate, and a squadron leader named Sanming Baozhen planted the sun flag on the Zhonghua Gate Tower, and the city of Nanjing was officially declared to have fallen.

The great achievement of the first capture of Nanjing finally fell on the head of the 6th Division.

After controlling the Zhonghua Gate, the 6th Division began to divide its troops into the city, and arrested the hidden national troops everywhere, in fact, this is just an excuse, Xiao Rijian's purpose is nothing more than to burn, kill, rob, and rape, since Jinshanwei landed, they have been doing this, and now they have entered the city of Nanjing, how can they "show mercy"?

However, Xiao Ri was still very nervous on the whole, because the air force reported that because there were not enough ferries at the Xiaguan wharf, the 30,000 or 40,000 Nationalist troops who were crowded on the Xiaguan wharf yesterday had returned to the city from Rujiangmen, and if these 30,000 or 40,000 Nationalist troops occupied the streets and alleys of Nanjing and fought street battles with the Japanese troops, it would still be very troublesome.

Therefore, the Japanese search team seemed cautious every time they took a step forward, except that a bullet would suddenly shoot out from every corner of Gonggong and shoot them on the spot

"Light Dang!" A crisp crash came from a closed door in front of them.

The Japanese commander Cao Chang waved his hand, and the only crooked machine gun in the class was erected at the gate, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers also scattered, and the muzzles of the black holes were all aimed at the closed door.

There was no imaginary ejection, only a row of frightened faces.

"Shina soldiers!" Seeing this row of frightened faces, all of them shaved their heads, also wearing military uniforms, and many of them still holding rifles in their hands, the Japanese soldiers who kicked the door suddenly instinctively screamed, and while gesturing with bayonets to the Chinese soldiers in the row in front of them, they shouted hysterically, "Raise your hands, raise your hands......

The frightened faces were all dazed, until one of them whispered, "Did he tell us to surrender our guns?" Then, rows of Hanyang-made, medium-formal, Czech-style, and even flower traps were all lifted into the air.

The soldiers who kicked the door were horrified to find that there was not only that row of national troops in front of them, but behind that row of national troops, there were even crowded national troops, just now he was short in height, so he didn't get a clear picture of the whole picture, and now the national soldiers raised their guns, and they were all exposed, good guys, there are four or five hundred people, enough for a battalion!

That day, the soldiers were almost frightened, and their hands holding bayonets began to tremble violently, and they turned their heads and shouted: "Cao Chang, Cao Chang come quickly, the branch soldiers, many ...... that soldiers"

The Japanese army Cao Chang hurriedly came up with a saber on his shoulder, and saw all kinds of guns and weapons raised high in the hall, and couldn't help but gasp, God, so many national soldiers are still holding weapons, if you start to do it, the people in his class are not enough to stuff your teeth, but this Japanese army Cao Chang is a veteran after all, and he still maintains his composure.

Cao Chang of the Japanese army pulled aside the Japanese soldier who was kicking the door, and then asked another Japanese soldier who could speak Chinese to step forward, and ordered the national soldiers inside to come out one by one with their guns, and when they came out, they put their guns on the steps in front of the house, and then went to the street with their bare hands to line up, and soon, more than 500 national troops were disarmed.

It wasn't until the national army was completely disarmed that the Japanese army Cao Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, and the Chinese soldiers who had no weapons were like wolves without fangs, and there was no longer any threat

However, just when the Japanese commander Cao Chang relaxed his vigilance, a bullet suddenly shot out of a corner, piercing his steel helmet at once, stirring his brain into ~ paste, and the Japanese army Cao Chang didn't even say a word, he fell to the ground and returned to Dongying Island.

Immediately after that, dozens of heavily armed Nationalist soldiers suddenly stood up from the rooftops of houses on the street, in the windows, and even from the drainage ditches on the side of the street.

It was only at this time that the more than 500 prisoners of war of the more than 500 national troops finally understood what was happening, but what was surprising was that the more than 500 prisoners of war of the national army did not feel excited because they were rescued, they just looked at the unit that suddenly appeared, and no one stepped forward to express their gratitude, and many people even showed hostility towards this small unit.

"What are you doing in a daze?" An officer with the rank of colonel stepped forward and shouted, "Why don't you hurry up and get your weapons back, follow us, and fight Little Japan!" ”
