"What now, where is this going?"

Liang Liqun ran out of breath.

"I can't go to Nancheng, the Japanese have already entered the city, and the Rujiang Gate is so jammed that we can't get out, let's go east and try it from the examination institute to the Taiping Gate!"

"So far!"

"Let's go!"

Zhou turned into a cat's waist and ran to the front.

"Don't be in a hurry, there may be a situation at any time!"

There is indeed a situation, not far away, before reaching the central library, the wall of the Municipal Women's Association gun is neatly poured with more than a dozen corpses, several people are in a heavy mood, carefully walking by, all of them are defending the city.

"Light machine gun fire!" Yu Xiaoshu looked at the bullet holes in the wall.

"Didn't they even keep the prisoners?"

Soon, more corpses proved this idea, probably fearing that the large number of Kuomintang soldiers who failed to retreat would continue to resist, slaughtering Chinese soldiers and young men suspected of being soldiers along the way.

Further north was the auditorium of Chuo University, when suddenly a messy burst of gunfire came from the direction of the railway.

Zhou Jingcheng stopped and grabbed Yu Xiaoshu.

"No, I can't go to the Taiping Gate."

"What should I do?"

Before a few people could discuss, there was another gunshot, and several people subconsciously threw themselves on the ground, quickly hid in the alley next to them, and ran away. There was a jumble of footsteps in the distance.

Several people panicked and ran all the way south, and before they knew it, they reached the back street of the Ministry of Education, and they pushed the door when they saw it, hoping to find a hiding place.

It's just that most of the houses in this alley are closed, and they are as silent as death, and no one comes out to answer at all.

was running, Zhou Jingcheng suddenly found that there was a door open.

"Hurry! Over here! ”

A few people rushed in, and they wanted to plug in the threshold, but a person suddenly came out of the stove next to them and grabbed a few of them.

"You can't close the door! You can't enter the hall either! ”

"What do you mean?"

The man motioned for them not to speak, and dragged them into the stove.

The stove room is small, the door is open inward, and you can see the head at a glance, and there is nowhere to hide. Fortunately, the two door panels were quite thick, and the man slowly opened the door, and the five of them, the five big men, had no choice but to stick to the wall as low as possible, barely hiding behind the door panel.

As soon as they were hidden, several Japanese soldiers rushed into the courtyard, armed all the way, and went directly into the inner room, not knowing what to shout inside and outside, and after a while, they rushed out like a whirlwind, ran out of the courtyard, and went to the next room.

Only the Japanese soldier who dragged behind was quite cautious, standing at the door of the stove room and observing slowly for a moment, several people held their breath, not even daring to breathe, through the gap in the plank, they could already see the shining tip of the military thorn.

He only had to take one more step to find five pairs of eyes staring at him in the corner of the small room.

Yu Xiaoshu sneaked out the gun.

There was a murmuring of shouts outside, and finally, the Japanese soldiers put away their guns and followed the large group.

After the footsteps faded away, several people sat down on the ground.

"A large team of the 38th Company of the 16th Division," Liang Liqun's mouth was dry, and his face changed color.

"Do you know Japanese?" The man looked at Liang Liqun in surprise.

"He studied in Japan." Yu Xiaoshu patted Liang Liqun.

"Which part?"

The other party asked.

"Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission."

"Xianglin Temple or Chicken Goose Lane?"

"Chicken Goose Alley."

The Central Military Academy of Xianglin Temple is the residence of the Military Commission, and the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission is a huge and complex organization, one is the personnel of the original secret service headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Section, and the three postal inspection offices are specially established departments, all of which are located in Xianglin Temple, and the Ji'e Lane is the office of the second and the special service office of the Fuxing Society.

"I thought you were all gone!"

"Why are we all gone?"

"You are well-informed, you are engaged in spy work, Jin Gui! Unlike us, the big-headed soldiers, no one cares whether they point or fight, whether they are dead or alive. ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Huang Wuning changed the subject, "Which part are you from?" ”

"My 36th Division, Gan Zhaolin, if someone inquires about me in the future, you can tell me for me, Lao Tzu didn't run away, and he couldn't stand it until the Japanese entered the city."

The man grinned, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it over, "One?" What are your plans? ”

Huang Wuning will not, where are Yu Xiaoshu and Liang Liqun still in the mood to smoke, only Zhou Jingcheng took one.

"There's no fire, smash it."

Gan Zhaolin laughed mischievously.

"We plan to go out of Taiping Gate first, and then find a way to cross the river."

Yu Xiaoshu said reluctantly, Rujiang Gate, which was surrounded on three sides in Nanjing and guarded by the 36th Division, was the only way to pass through the lower pass, and it was still in his own hands when he sneaked back in the early morning, and now it looks like this only way to survive is gone.

"Taipingmen? The Purple Mountain is about to be flattened by artillery fire! Forget it before it's too late! Even if you can go around to the river, I heard that there are now all Japanese, and the machine guns are all set up, and from this morning, the warships are coming, and even if you are lucky enough to get out of the city, you will go to the river to feed the fish. ”

"I can't get out of the city, we still have friends in the Salt Bank, do you want to be together?"

Yu Xiaoshu remembered Zhao Fusheng's note.

"What friends can you rely on now?" Gan Zhaolin chewed on the tobacco, "To go to the Salt Industry Bank, you have to go south, through to Hanzhong Road, I just probed over there, the Japanese came in from Guanghuamen, Zhongshanmen, a large group of troops, still over there to clear the obstacles, see people will be killed, I'm afraid I can't go." ”

"That's better than sitting still." This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Huang Wuning was a little breathless. "Otherwise, listen to the policeman, go west to the international security zone, and after the road is Jinling Middle School."

"The safe zone is still there? Haven't all foreign embassies and consulates been withdrawn? "Liang Liqun has been detained for more than a month, and the news is not good.

Yu Xiaoshu nodded, "It's all withdrawn, and what is left now is a group of civilian foreigners who are unwilling to evacuate, and the safety zone is still there." ”

"The Japanese are red-eyed, and they still care what Chinese or foreigner you are! When I enter the safe zone, I will be tied, and I will not go! ”

Gan Zhaolin sat down against the wall.

"Japan hasn't turned its face with other countries, and when I see foreigners, I will always have a little more scruples, I'll go!" Zhou Jingcheng agreed.

"Let's go, try your luck." Liang Liqun was anxious.

"Then let's go, by the way, throw the gun away, don't leave it at the door! The Japanese were red-eyed, and just now because of a few bullet shells, dozens of people hiding in Fengqing Elementary School were shot, and they died faster with guns. ”

"You're not leaving?" Huang Wuning clenched the gun tighter.

"I'm going to hide here, and I'm going nowhere." Gan Zhaolin retracted into the stove house again.

"Thank you today, then take care, let's go!"

Yu Xiaoshu snatched Huang Wuning's gun and threw it into the drainage ditch on the side of the road with herself.

"How can they do this!" Along the way, Liang Liqun repeated this sentence.

The sight was too shocking.

They finally understood why Gan Zhaolin chose to hide in the open courtyard, all the houses with open doors were basically broken into by soldiers and homeless people, even if the owner left valuable belongings, they had already been looted, so the Japanese soldiers would just take a cursory look and leave. Along the way, all the courtyards that were closed and locked were forcibly opened by the Japanese army, and no matter men, women, old and children, they saw a shot, leaving only a corpse.

Walking cautiously all the way, crossing the North Gate Bridge, walking through the back street of Lujia Lane, when they finally saw the red circle cross flag on the white background of Jinling Middle School, their mood finally relaxed a little.

At the moment, it was quiet here, only the cars that had been turned over on the side of the road were still beeping and burning, and the once prosperous Zhongshan Road was dead silent, and the four people were clinging to the wall on the street corner, staring at the broken wall of the Gao Hotel opposite. The cross flag on the flagpole of Jinling Middle School hangs softly as if it were close at hand, the symbol of the International Security Zone, and beyond the ruined streets is the International Red Cross refugee shelter.

There was the sound of footsteps from military boots behind him, and he couldn't wait any longer, Liang Liqun was the first to poke his head out, and suddenly heard a familiar Japanese, and the hairs on his body stood up.

"What people!"

He immediately raised his hands, and dozens of Chinese soldiers and Nanjing citizens were squatting in several rows at gunpoint, looking at him in horror.
