Section 65

"Calling on the spot? Fight on these untrained civilians? Watching the camp leave, Shi looked at his back incredulously and muttered, looking quite incredible.

"This kind of thing of catching strong men is very common, speaking of which, except for those officers who have graduated from military schools and have been trained, most of the army is formed and strengthened in this way, good men are not soldiers, good iron does not fight nails, these years of fighting everywhere, who really wants to be a soldier and die!" The pillar on the side seemed to have thought of something at the moment, and suddenly said with emotion.

"But can you win with these untrained people? I really don't know what the use of these improvised people is other than sending them to death! Stone snapped, obviously unhappy with the situation.

Zhu Zi shook his head helplessly and said, "Aren't we all here like this?" Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang, and others, who were not forcibly arrested, are not alive and well now. ”

The stone was speechless for a moment, what the pillar said was right, but he instantly thought of those faces that were already a little vague in his mind, Xu Qiang, Zhou Wu, Luo Fang, Jiao Yuan, Old Uncle, Iron Head, and Big Axe...... This series of lengthy names made it very difficult for him to count them, but it represented the original fresh life, and there was really nothing more bloody and cruel than this way of training soldiers in this way of almost sending them to death, which also made the stone resist from the heart. Perhaps in his thoughts, a soldier should be tempered and trained before he can really set foot on a battle with the enemy, which can not only ensure combat effectiveness, but also reduce casualties.

Liu Wenfeng next to him also said at this time: "In fact, in my opinion, it is useless to catch more strong men, not to mention these untrained people, let's take the newly added brothers as an example, as soon as the devil's cannon sounds, he is scared to jump around, when he shoots, his hands are shaking like sifting chaff, in addition to sending him to death, I really can't figure out what role it can play, according to me, it is directly like those gendarmes, as soon as the hands are strong*, the devil dares to come up, let's rush up, dozens of * sounded, scared the little devil to death." ”

“*？ Don't dream there, with us cannon fodder, we are also qualified to take this kind of weapon, what are you kidding? The pillar scoffed.

"Brother Zhuzi, madman, you should prepare first, if you really want to take over the defense at the city gate, it seems that we can only do what the camp says, otherwise there will be no one for such a long defense line." Shi said helplessly and painfully, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Wang Qianqian was.

Seeing that the stone was moving with difficulty, the pillar wanted to speak and stopped, but after glancing at Liu Wenfeng, the two shook their heads helplessly and turned to leave, there are too many things now, not to mention anything else, the matter of the battalion commander's wife alone is enough to give people a headache, although they also want to help, but they can't think of a solution at all, so they have to rush to deal with the things they can solve.

"Sister-in-law, that Lian Commander Zheng just now is also kind, I think...... I think ......" entered the courtyard, and Shi saw Wang Qianqian sitting there in a daze at a glance, and blurted out, as if he had been thinking about this issue before.

Wang Qianqian raised her head, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, the cold expression was gone, replaced by a helpless and pitiful look, but the stone couldn't help but look stunned, only to hear her say: "Do you think I should go with him?" ”

"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant......" Stone said with a knot in his tongue.

smiled bitterly, looked up at the sky, and her red eyes made her look quite haggard, "I naturally know Qiu Haofei's kindness, but Brother Zheng doesn't like this person, if I am with him, Brother Zheng will definitely be unhappy." ”

"However, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, sister-in-law, I'm afraid I don't know what the chaos is like by the river now." The stone finally said what was in his heart, and said anxiously.

"Does it matter if you can't walk away? I really hope that the devil will be killed, in that case, I can go on the road with Brother Zheng naturally. Wang Qianqian said calmly, talking about her life and death, as if she was talking about a short little thing in the family.

Seeing this, Shi could only sigh bitterly, for a person who wanted to die, he really had no tricks, so he could only sigh: "Sister-in-law, the battalion commander has always wanted you to live well, when he was in Fangshan, in order to let a few of our brothers come back to protect you, the battalion commander even rushed out to be bait." ”

Wang Qianqian's eyes suddenly swelled with a hint of brilliance, it seemed that as long as it was about Zheng Pusheng, she was extremely interested, and couldn't help but say, "Is it?" Can you tell me a little bit about your battalion commander? For more than a year, I had basically no contact with him, and I didn't even know where to send the letter. ”

Shi listened to the gunfire outside, and could only say helplessly: "The situation outside is not very good, the devil seems to have been killed in the city, the battalion is attached to let us take over the defense of Jiqingmen, now I'm afraid there is no time to say, if my sister-in-law wants to hear about the battalion commander, I can only wait for this battle to be over." ”

Wang Qianqian looked at the stone sadly, and couldn't help sighing: "Don't you just want me to live well?" ”

Shi was embarrassed when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say, but he heard Wang Qianqian say: "Don't worry, I said that since I didn't die before, it was because Brother Zheng still wanted me to live well, I won't think about anything anymore, everything will be arranged by Company Commander Shi, as long as I don't cross the river with that Qiu Haofei." ”

After the stone was stunned for a moment, he was immediately overjoyed, but he didn't expect to get such a reply from Wang Qianqian in this situation, which made the stone hanging in his heart completely put down.

"Sister-in-law, you rest here first, and I'll let someone inform you of anything." Seeing Wang Qianqian nodding, Shi immediately turned around and was about to leave, but then he stopped and said, "I will let Li Wenguang stay outside the door, and if my sister-in-law needs anything, just talk to him." ”

"Go ahead, I don't have anything to do here." Wang Qianqian said, she hugged her knees with both hands, her head also bowed, and the whole person suddenly seemed to be languishing, and she didn't seem to have any energy at all.

Just when the soldiers of the national army outside the city who resisted the onslaught of the Japanese invaders fell into a bloody battle, in a few bungalows near the Zhonghua Gate, the sound of "Didi ......" continued to come out, and the rapid footsteps and sounds sounded from time to time showed the hecticness of these.

In a courtyard at the back, unlike the busyness in front, it seems quite "quiet", although the "rumbling" cannons and gunfire in all directions have not stopped for a moment, but a major general standing there calmly gives people a feeling that there is no need to panic when stepping on the sky. This is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a towering nose, and a well-fitting military uniform that sets off his majestic and upright, giving people a steady atmosphere like a mountain, it is Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division of the 74th Army.

Now, his gaze fell on the wall on the side, a map marked with countless arrows hung there quietly, facing this map of Nanjing City that he had seen countless times, Wang Yaowu's frown frowned slightly, and after a while, he sighed softly.

At this moment, the telephone on the table next to him rang, and the sound of "ding" broke the peace in the room.

Retracting his gaze, Wang Yaowu groaned for a while before picking up the phone, and said in an unusually calm voice: "I'm Wang Yaowu." ”

A slightly hoarse voice immediately came from the other end of the phone and said, "Zuomin, Chief Tang has convened a meeting of the division commanders, the situation in the city is already very chaotic, and there may be major changes in the meeting. ”

As soon as the voice appeared, Wang Yaowu obviously heard who the other party was, and immediately replied: "Junza, the war is ongoing, and I can't leave immediately." If the question of abandoning Nanking is discussed at a meeting, whether it is to break through the siege or cross the river, there must be careful planning and time for preparation. Ying Li transferred all the ships on the north bank of the river to the riverside from Xiaguan to Baguazhou, assigned them to the various departments, and divided the wharves for embarking ships; Otherwise, it is unthinkable. ””

Suddenly came the response of the army commander Yu Jishi on the phone: "I also consider these problems, and I must suggest to the top, Zuomin, take care of yourself, and prepare early......

The conversation between the two did not last long, Wang Yaowu put down the phone, but the expression on his face was more severe than before, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, Tang Shengzhi, chose to hold a meeting of senior officers at such a time, obviously it would not be a good thing, most of them should be like what the army commander said, it was about to break through, but thinking of the previous Tang commander's blockade of Nanjing's road to Jiangbei and the destruction of ferries, Wang Yaowu couldn't help but shake his head, Such a move is certainly a ruin that has pushed them to the point of fighting on their backs, but now that they are preparing to retreat, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Just as he was thinking about this, an adjutant's hurried voice came from outside: "Report to the division, Li Tianxia, the commander of the 153rd Brigade, called, because the friendly 88th Division withdrew from the city wall without authorization, the Japanese army began to take advantage of the gap on the city wall in the morning, and continued to attack the left flank position of our army with the coordination of infantry and artillery, plus a section of the city wall was blown up, and the Japanese army continued to pour in, and the 153rd Brigade was almost unable to withstand it. ”

"Tell Brigade Commander Li that since the city wall has been lost, you can retreat to the preset position in the city, concentrate your fire to control several entrances, slow down the enemy's attack, and later I will let the guard company go to support, and you must not mess up your own position." Wang Yaowu, who heard such an urgent military situation, did not change his expression in the slightest at this moment, and he didn't even think about the countermeasures, as if he had been prepared for these things.

However, the adjutant outside didn't have such a ability, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "Master, then you are here?" ”

Wang Yaowu waved his hand to signal him to hurry up and deal with the previous matter, and at the same time said: "The staff officers of the division headquarters are all elite in the army, and it is not a big deal to carry a gun into battle, so go and give an order." ”

The adjutant dared to hesitate, and immediately saluted and withdrew. Wang Yaowu looked at the back of the adjutant leaving, and after thinking about it, he picked up the phone, shook it twice, and then said, "Pick me up from Zhou Zhidao of the 151st Brigade." ”
