Section 66

Although Shi Shi could sense the severity of the situation from the fierce gunfire around him, he was far from knowing this bad situation, and even beyond their imagination, the entire city of Nanjing was already in turmoil at the moment, and the overall defense line might even collapse at any time.

At this moment, he was watching the friendly troops at the city gate withdraw, accompanied by pillars and tall sledgehammers, with an anxious and stunned look on his face.

Although the battalion had already told them about the possible withdrawal of friendly troops, no one expected the situation to appear so quickly, almost as soon as the battalion had left, the friendly troops here at the city gate began to move, which made Shi rush over after hearing the news

The most headache for him is the next defense problem, you must know that the friendly troops originally stationed here seem to be a regiment or so, and the distance from the river to the city wall in front of and behind the city gate is densely arranged with three fortifications, including several strong machine gun positions and several hidden bunkers, which can completely block the entire bridge deck, but now they have only one company, I am afraid that even a line of defense is not enough.

"Stone, quick, let's hurry over, this heavy machine gun can't be taken away!" The pillars were sharp-eyed, and they could see the situation there clearly from a distance, and they didn't know whether these friendly troops had heard any bad news or were really in a hurry to leave here, as if they were about to leave without waiting for them to rush to the handover.

Shi Shi also nodded in his heart, and quickly approached the city gate with the support of the two.

Passed through the forest bridge unharmed, the originally heavily guarded Jiqing Gate, at this moment the ban was completely lifted, not even the people who came forward to ask, someone from a distance looked at them here, they turned their heads and took care of their things.

"Is your head here?" After crossing the bridge, he saw a second lieutenant officer commanding twenty or thirty soldiers in a formation, and he didn't care so much, so he opened his mouth and asked without hesitation.

The second lieutenant saw the rank of captain on his collar at a glance, and although the gauze wrapped around his body looked embarrassed at the moment, he did not hesitate because of this, and immediately replied with a straight salute: "Is there anything wrong with this sir?" ”

Seeing that the other party's demeanor was respectful, but his tone was full of vigilance, Shi Shi didn't care, and after reluctantly returning the salute, he said: "This, we were ordered to take over the defense area of your department, and I want to hand over to the head of your department!" ”

"Handover?" The second lieutenant was happy at first, and then seemed to think of something, and after looking at the stone suspiciously, he hesitated, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately said: "Sir, I don't know much about this matter, or you wait here first, and I'll report the situation." ”

Shi Daxi was overjoyed, and immediately said fiercely: "Then it will be too troublesome for you, we are the third company of the first battalion of the 302nd regiment of the 151st brigade of the 51st division, and your ministers should get this matter." ”

The second lieutenant nodded, and did not hesitate, turned around and said a few words to a squad leader-like person beside him, and then ran inside, at the gate of the city, Shi vaguely saw that he had said something to an officer, because it was too far away, they could not hear anything here, but vaguely saw that the officer glanced at them, and then walked towards the city.

"Company Commander Shi, since we are taking over the defense here, we naturally have to take over the overall fortifications here, not to mention anything else, the light and heavy machine guns must let the other side have a few more to stand down, otherwise, just rely on one of our companies to defend here, this is not to replace the defense area, but to send them to death." The tall sledgehammer, who usually rarely speaks, is a rare reminder on the side at this time, obviously knowing that the situation in front of him is really not good.

Shi nodded, lowered his voice and said: "I will naturally pay attention to this, but I am afraid that these commanders are not easy to speak, if the battalion is attached here, it may be better, my small company commander speaks, and others may not look at it." ”

The pillar sighed lightly and complained: "I really don't know what these commanders think, such a big place, just rely on one of our companies to take over the defense, this is too joking!" As far as we are concerned, we can't even stuff the devil's teeth enough, how can we keep it? Besides, why did this regiment withdraw without firing a shot for so long, and we were fighting with the devils in front, and now we have to support them in the rear? That's a big difference, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Gao Da Hammer smiled coldly and said, "Platoon leader, why don't you say that the military police are so well equipped, but they run faster than anyone else?" There is no fairness in this world, what can you complain about? If you want to blame yourself, you can blame yourself for being born in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and just in time for this era of war and chaos. ”

Shi Yan also said with emotion: "With the equipment of those gendarmes, even if it is a company, I am afraid it can be used as a regiment, whether this kind of firepower equipment is charged or fortified, the devil does not have several times the strength, and he can't even get close to his body at all, if he uses it properly, its lethality is really terrifying." ”

"This kind of army with a pile of bullets, that is, it looks bluffing, and it really wants to fight with the devils, I'm afraid that just a round of shelling by the devils can make them fart. Are all descendants of those high-ranking officials and magnates who come to the army to mix qualifications, and this kind of person can also fight? It's almost the same to go to bed and fight! The tall sledgehammer spat unscrupulously and said with a disdainful expression, as if he did not agree with the stone's words.

"It's coming!" At this moment, the pillar on the side couldn't help but shout in a low voice, so the three of them closed their mouths and looked at the city gate in the distance, only to see that the originally chaotic city gate had neatly opened a wide passage for a while, and several officers and people rushed towards them with one person.

Just this kind of pomp and circumstance made Shi and the others frown, it seemed that the identity of the person who came was not low, and because of this, Shi Shi couldn't help but sigh secretly, in this way, the matter of asking for a little more weapons and equipment mentioned earlier, I am afraid it will be difficult to do, after all, his military rank is here, and the difference between him and others is too big, who will listen to him.

The group of people soon rushed to their place, and faintly, Shi suddenly felt that these people in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, and this feeling suddenly made him suspicious, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he tried to think about it, but he didn't have any impression.

"Stone, it's really you, why did you get hurt like this?" Just as the stone was in shock, a loud voice sounded in the crowd opposite, and then he saw an officer walking briskly towards them.

The stone was confused, and he couldn't think of anyone who would know him, and instinctively thought that he had met his old friend before he had amnesia, his eyes were suffocated, and he fell to the other party's neckline in an instant, and the shiny rank of major general made him feel like he couldn't breathe.

The pillar and the tall sledgehammer also immediately straightened their bodies and saluted respectfully, this general who suddenly appeared, it really made them a little unbelievable, this is an officer at the same level as their brigade commander and division commander, why did he suddenly appear in front of them like this, what is even more strange is that this person seems to know the stone.

Looking at the stunned expressions of Shi and the others, the major general on the opposite side laughed and said, "Why, you haven't seen me for a month, so you don't know me?" Oh, by the way, it can't be my rank of major general that scares you! ”

Only then did the stone come back to his senses, and after glancing at the visitor, he suddenly said incredulously: "Captain Zhong? How did you end up here? ”

What they didn't expect was that they really knew this person, on the battlefield of Songhu, during the bloody battle on the periphery of Qingpu, the stone had taken three companies to fight in the Bazi Bridge and Beixinjing, and when the friendly troops retreated in a wood, they ambushed a squadron of devils, which not only successfully made the friendly troops withdraw to their positions, but also killed a lot of Japanese troops. And when he left, he said some strange things to him, so that the stone was not very clear at that time, and that person was the head of the Zhong in front of him.

But it seems that he was still a colonel at that time? He was promoted to a general in such a short period of time?

Seeing the stone staring at the rank, Zhong Xuedong on the other side laughed again, looking at the appearance of the stone, he also kept nodding and said: "Well, yes, yes, Company Commander Shi is really brave and good at fighting, and he can fight with devils at the front line so far, which is really different." ”

A lieutenant colonel military academy on the side also interjected and said: "Now this company commander Shi is quite famous, they all say that the 51st Division has produced two fierce generals, one is Zhang Lingfu of the 305th Regiment, and the other is the 302nd Regiment Commander Shi, both of whom are ruthless characters who can fight tough battles. ”

Zhong Xuedong also said with a smile: "Yes, the stone can not only fight, but also is quite open-minded and righteous, not greedy for merit, regardless of gains and losses, just by virtue of this, the future is also promising, I once mentioned to you Division Commander Wang, I want to transfer you to the 347th Regiment to be the commander of the main battalion, but unfortunately Division Commander Wang refuses to let go." At that time, in the woods, the courage of Shi to dare to ambush the little devil squadron with only a dozen people really made Zhong admire. ”

Listening to their words, Shi suddenly smiled bitterly, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Fortunately, Captain Zhong and the others also knew that this was not a good time to chat, and after chatting a few words, they changed the topic and said, "Stone, are you here to pick up the Jiqing Gate?" ”

Shi sighed in his heart, and immediately said with relief: "Yes, Commander Zhong, our battalion has just come to give an order, and from now on, this place will be included in our company's defense area." ”
