Hongxing and Yao Nianci were like two frightened rabbits, panicked into a small alley, because they were in a hurry and didn't care about their feet, Yao Nianci stepped on a pit and pinned his feet, and fell to the ground with a scream, Yao Nianci's pretty became white in an instant, and a bean-sized cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

But it was really a house leak that happened to be rainy, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind, that day Yao Nianci was in the Confucius Temple Field Hospital in order to chase Gao Shenxingwei's foot was not good, this time it was broken again, and the injury was still in the same place, Yao Nianci felt that the bones in his ankle were about to crack, and it hurt to the bone marrow.

Hongxing, who had already run out for more than a dozen steps, quickly turned back and asked anxiously, "Nianci, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Hongxing, I'm broken." Yao Nianci tried to stand up with the support of Hongxing, but accidentally pulled the injured ankle, frowning in pain, Hongxing squatted down and reached out to pinch Yao Nianci's ankle gently, Yao Nianci was so painful that Xue Xue moaned, obviously hurting the bones.

"What can I do, what can I do?" Hongxing was so anxious that she was at a loss, and she only cried vigorously.

When Yao Nianci and Hongxing were at a loss, five Japanese soldiers wearing yellow cloth uniforms suddenly turned out at the mouth of the alley, and saw Yao Nianci who was sitting on the ground and Hongxing squatting on the ground.

Hongxing screamed in fright, picked up Yao Nianci and ran deep into the alley, Yao Nianci also endured the pain in his heart, and limped forward under Hongxing's support, but they were all wearing high-heeled crystal shoes and tight cheongsam, how could they run for a few days? Soon, they let the Japanese soldiers catch up.

While running, a Japanese soldier reached out and grabbed the fur coat off Hongxing's body.

Hongxing screamed and instinctively let go of the hands holding Yao Nianci, and ran forward, Yao Nianci fell to the ground, and the two Japanese soldiers crossed the fallen Yao Nianci and continued to chase Hong Xing, but the two Japanese soldiers squatted down and held Yao Nianci, and the Japanese soldier Cao Chang came forward with a smile, and couldn't wait to untie the belt.

Yao Nianci sighed low in his heart, and was about to bite the dentures in his mouth when a sudden gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldier Cao Chang, who had just untied his belt, fell down, and the whole person happened to be pressed on Yao Nianci's body, Yao Nianci saw that the head of the Japanese soldier Cao Chang had burst like a broken watermelon boat.

Immediately after that, a "horn" shot rang out, and one of the two Japanese soldiers who were chasing Hongxing fell to the ground.

Two of them raised their guns and fired indiscriminately at the windows on both sides of the alley, while the other took out the siren from his satchel and shook it vigorously, and in an instant, the piercing whine had resounded throughout the alley, but I didn't know if it could be heard outside the alley.

However, not long after the siren sounded, two grenades fell from the sky, and after two explosions, the piercing siren stopped, and the Japanese soldiers who pulled the alarm were also killed on the spot, and then two more grenades fell, and the other two Japanese soldiers hiding under the wall were also blown up.

In the smoke of gunpowder, two veterans of the national army broke out of the door of the house on the side of the small alley with rifles, first fired several shots at several fallen Japanese soldiers, and then stabbed several holes in their bodies with bayonets, until they were sure that these Japanese soldiers were completely dead, and then looked back at the two rescued women.

At this moment, a slender figure came out of the house, looking at the two Qin Huaiyan prostitutes who were curled up on the ground and shivering, and screamed in surprise: "Nianci, Hongxing, why are you here?" ”

Yao Nianci and Hongxing turned around in shock, but saw Yu Jiaxi standing in front of them.

"Jiaxi?! 'Sister Jiaxi?! Yao Nianci was inexplicably surprised, but Hongxing jumped up and hugged Yu Jiaxi, crying bitterly.

"Jiaxi, weren't you picked up by someone from the garrison headquarters?" After Yao Nianci's surprise, she immediately became worried about her best friend again, "Why are you still in the city?"

"Don't mention it." Yu Jiaxi sighed and said gloomily, "When we went out of the city, the street leading to Rujiangmen had been crowded by the fleeing people, and we finally got out of Rujiangmen, but there were no boats on the dock, and the Japanese army came from several directions, so we really couldn't do it, so we had to follow the rout back to the city." ”

A veteran stepped forward and reminded in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Yu, this is not the place to talk, Xiao Ri has just sounded the siren, their team will come soon, we have to leave quickly." ”

The other veteran listened sideways for a moment, and then said with a miserable expression: "I'm afraid I can't leave anymore,"

Before the words fell, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded at the mouth of the alley, and when everyone looked back in a hurry, they saw that more than 20 Japanese soldiers wearing yellow cloth uniforms had rushed into the small alley, and the bayonets flashed in the dim alley with a bright cold light, stabbing the eyes of the veterans of the two national armies, and Yu Jiaxi and they screamed in fright.

"Doctor Yu, hurry up!" A veteran yelled.

"What about you?" Yu Jiaxi said in a panic, "Or, why don't you go together?"

"Let's go together, don't even think about living!" Another veteran shouted in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Yu, if you can escape alive, don't forget to send a letter to my hometown and tell my daughter-in-law to remarry as soon as possible." Having said that, the veteran also knew in his heart that with Yu Jiaxi and a few women, they didn't want to escape alive at all.

Yu Jiaxi snorted, and said to Hongxing: "Hongxing, come over and help me pick up Nianci." ”

Yao Nianci pushed Yu Jiaxi and Hongxing away, and said sadly: "Jiaxi, Hongxing, don't worry about me, my foot is injured, don't want to live if you take me, you should leave quickly." Saying that, Yao Nianci was already in tears, and said, "Jiaxi, if you have the opportunity to zaijian Achu, tell him that no matter what I have done, I will always have him alone in my heart." ”

"Nianci, I will never leave you alone, these words, you should tell your Ah Chu yourself." Yu Jiaxi insisted on picking Yao Nianci up, and said to Hongxing, "Hongxing, hold Nianci tightly, let's go." ”

As he spoke, the two veterans had already caught fire with the Japanese soldiers, the other party not only had two crooked machine guns, but also four grenadiers, although the two veterans of the national army had experienced a hundred battles and had extremely rich combat experience, but they were still beaten by Xiao Ri and were powerless, and they only retreated into the depths of the alley one by one.

After the two veterans fought to the death, Yu Jiaxi and the others finally escaped from the small alley without danger.

Out of the small alley is a street, the street is full of craters, around the crater scattered a large number of broken bricks and rubble, wretched everywhere, both sides of the street are collapsed or half-collapsed broken walls, and there is even a tank car with broken tracks, but the body is painted with a blue sky and white sun logo, it is actually a tank car of the national army.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke, and there were still fires burning and burning between the ruins, all of which showed that this place had been subjected to indiscriminate bombing by the Japanese army, and there were Japanese corpses lying all over the ground, which showed that there had been a tragic battle here, and the Japanese army had also suffered defeat.

When Yu Jiaxi and the others were stunned, the top cover of the tank suddenly opened, and a tank soldier poked his head out of it and yelled at Yu Jiaxi and them: "What are you doing in a daze? Come here, hurry up! Hide over there, quick! ”

Yu Jiaxi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ran in the direction guided by the tank soldiers, and then hid in a ruin.

After a while, two veterans covered in blood staggered out of the alley, the tank men did not make a sound this time, but just gestured to the two veterans, the two veterans suddenly showed surprise on their faces, turned around and fired a few shots in the alley and then turned around and ran to a half-collapsed Western church opposite.

The tanker retracted, and the round turret tilted slightly

Soon, the 20 or so Japanese soldiers chased them out of the small alley, and when they saw the two veterans of the Nationalist Army running away to a collapsed Western church, they did not hesitate to chase after them.

However, even if he did not arouse alarm, Kohi still maintained an attack formation, with frontal pursuit and flank protection, while the fire support team remained on the Zuihou side, and the distance between individual soldiers and individual soldiers was large, so as to effectively ensure a quick response in the event of an ambush and minimize casualties.

However, it is very regrettable that this time Xiao Ri has met a group of clever hunters

When the Japanese fire support group, which was dragging on the Zuihou side, also completely entered the ambush circle, the T26 tank, which looked scrapped with broken tracks, suddenly opened fire.7 The 62mm front-firing machine gun poured hot bullets like water, and several Japanese soldiers in front of the trajectory were instantly smashed into a sieve.

Immediately afterwards, from the ruins, from the rubble piles and the ruins of the ruins, one after another remnants of the national army, Hanyang-made, Zhongcheng, Czech-style and even Makqin heavy machine guns, all kinds of firepower instantly intertwined into a dense fire net, completely annihilating more than 20 Japanese soldiers who broke into the ambush circle, and the unsuspecting Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood one after another.

##########

When the gunshots rang out, Xu and the others were sneaking down an alley two blocks away.

Guo Weiquan was in high spirits when he heard the gunshot, and he suppressed his excitement and said to Xu Shijiu: "Sir Xu, listening to the gunfire is our people, there are Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng, Czech-style, and Makqin heavy machine guns!" ”

Cao Mancang also said: "It seems that there are other troops in Nanjing Yancheng who are resisting

Gao Shenxing and the twenty-six veterans of the guard company also turned their heads to look at Xu Nineteen, who raised his Browning pistol without hesitation and pressed it forward, and said loudly: "Brothers, go!" ”

When Xu Jiu and the others arrived, the battle was already over.

Under the rapid firepower of the national army, more than 20 Japanese soldiers were quickly overwhelmed

Seeing Xu 19 and them approaching, the more than 40 remnants of the national army who were cleaning the battlefield were nervous at first, and when they found out that they were friendly troops, they were pleasantly surprised.

Xu Shijiu stepped forward and asked, "Who is the highest commander here?" ”

A remnant soldier with the rank of captain stepped forward and replied loudly: "Report to the chief, it's me." ”

Xu Jiu glanced at the captain and said in a deep voice: "Report your name, position, and unit number." ”

The captain realized the faux pas, quickly stood upright, and replied loudly: "Report to the commander, the lowly Liao Erwa, the captain of the 3rd Company of the 672nd Regiment of the 112th Division of the National Revolutionary Army." ”

"Northeast Army?" Xu Nineteen said, "Wasn't the order to retreat already issued, weishenme can't help the river?" ”

Xu Shijiu did not know about the tragedy that happened at the Xiaguan Wharf, he guessed that the retreat order would cause a tragedy, but he never imagined how miserable it would be, in fact, the troops who chose to cross the river from the Xiaguan Wharf, due to too few ferries and disorganized organization, in the end, only Song Xilian's 36th Division was able to cross the river for most of them.

The rest of the retreating troops at Xiangxiaguan Wharf, such as the 87th Division, the 88th Division, the 103rd Division, the LL2nd Division, the Military Police Corps, and the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy (the 74th Army crossed the river from near Sanhankou, the 2nd Army crossed the river from Wulongshan, and the 66th and 83rd armies of the Guangdong Army broke through from Tangshan and Mengtang frontally, but did not go down the Guan, basically did not cross the river).

"Crossing the river?" Liao Erwa shook her head and said miserably, "When our division arrives at the Xiaguan Wharf, there will already be no plates on the wharf, how can we cross the river?" ”

"If you haven't crossed the river, what about the large troops of your division?"

"They are all scattered, some have hidden, some have changed into civilian clothes and fled into the safe zone, and some have already left the city to surrender to Xiao Riben, and the troops of thousands of people have all dispersed in a gust of wind."

Speaking of surrender, Xu Shijiu remembered the hundreds of defeated soldiers who would rather choose to surrender than take up arms again to fight with Xiao Ri Ben, compared with the two, although the dozens of defeated soldiers in front of him were few, their bones were much harder, and he couldn't help but ask: "What about you, weishenme doesn't surrender?" ”

Liao Erwa didn't say anything, but the expression on her face was a little wrong.

Dozens of remnants were also silent, obviously unwilling to answer this question, only one of the little soldiers, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most, replied heartlessly: "The chief said that he was joking, let's be so good that we don't do it, why do we want to be a dog for Xiao Riyi?" ”

Just such a sentence, but like a thunderbolt tore through the haze that had shrouded Xu Shijiu's heart for a long time, what he said was that there would be no fewer people who would like to be a dog for Xiao Riyi, but there will always be some people who will choose to be an upright person, as long as this kind of person is not dead, the country will not perish, in the final analysis, there is still hope for China!
