The 10 battalions of gendarmes led by Major General Luo Yousheng, commander of the Military Police Regiment, were not seriously injured in the front attack on the encirclement of the 18th Division. Silently thankful in his heart, while those "silent bombers" came from nowhere, he looked at the battle line in front of him.

At this moment, between Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain in the east, there is a faint sound of cars. He knew that it was a convoy of cars transporting the old, weak, sick and disabled, and that the gendarmerie was here to retreat for the sake of these people.

If you say that Zhang Sixing is not muttering in his heart about breaking through with tens of thousands of people, it is complete nonsense. But Zhang Sixing used a loudspeaker to "clean up" the affairs of the teaching team, and he could see it clearly.

Although this President Zhang does not have the background of the Chinese military, he does not have the "majesty" of the high-ranking officials that he has long been accustomed to. But this person's method is ruthless enough, and it is the kind that makes people lose face and lose face all over the world.

In addition, as far as he is concerned, he appreciates Zhang Sixing for breaking through the encirclement with the refugees.

In particular, his car took away the old, young, sick and disabled among the refugees, which is what he thinks is the highest section of Zhang Sixing. If it is the wounded of the army who go, then the militia becomes a family drag.

and sent away the old and young, from a certain point of view, those people became hostages in the hands of Zhang Sixing. Not afraid that the militia that remained would not treat the wounded well, or even that they would not fight to the death.

After all, if the devil passes their pass, I'm afraid that none of the people who cross the river will survive.

The only question now is how many boats Zhang Sixing has prepared to bring these nearly 100,000 people across the river.

Some "Kong Ming lanterns" were put up in the sky, and although he felt that it might attract Japanese shelling, so far there has been no shelling.

This allowed him to see from his command post that the beetle-like cars were hurrying to transport the refugees somewhere along the river. Although it was not clear where the people were being transported, they could clearly see that groups of boats, large and small, were coming from across the river.

Look up at the heavens, and pray in your heart,

"I hope the devils don't attack so quickly, although with these tunnels, Lao Tzu is not afraid of them."

At this moment, the original owner in the pit is sorting out and preparing, looking like he is about to leave. Although they were in a hurry to leave, in Luo Yousheng's eyes, they found that they were laying mines, wires and other defensive facilities on the north side of Niushou Mountain.

At this time, the figures of the last retreating soldiers from Jinling City on the march disappeared into the shadows of the nearby mountains.

Even Luo Yousheng could see that Zhang Sixing also rushed here with people.

He was so satisfied with his command post, and he knew by guess that such a tunnel and periscope observation mirror must be the masterpiece of Principal Zhang, who came back from Germany.

Just when Luo Yousheng was watching all this from Zhang Sixing's former command post, Zhang Sixing had already regrouped the troops through the walkie-talkie and assigned tasks to each part.

"Battalion Commander Xue, you take the pistol battalion and the pistol battalion soldiers I brought to form a regiment of two thousand people. Deploy defenses north of the river crossing point, dig more individual pits and holes, and enclose the entire river crossing point. ”

Originally, Zhang Sixing had six regiments in his hands, including the pistol regiment and the battalion commander Xue, the military police training regiment and the military police communication battalion with the militia could only protect the refugees. The 3rd and 4th regiments of the Jinling Breakthrough were stationed on Guanyin Mountain and Jiangjun Mountain at the moment, and the military police regiment was stationed on Niushou Mountain.

"The first regiment that broke through immediately marched north, and when it came to find Lu Feizhou, he obeyed his command. The 2nd Breakthrough Regiment and the Teaching Team are deployed on the plains west of Niushou Mountain, and the reserve regiment is also assigned to you. Prevent the 6th Division from directly attacking our crossing point, and the defending troops on the three hills will remain unchanged. ”

Speaking of this, everyone heard Zhang Sixing take a deep breath from the walkie-talkie,

"Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of these tens of thousands of fathers and fellow villagers, you need to hold on to your positions until we complete the cover mission. I also want to ask you not to worry, we will not pull down any of our own people, let's act. ”

The hearts of the officers who were originally ordered to defend to the death sank slightly.

Because when the troops retreat, especially when they are defeated in this kind of major war and are almost defeated, they will leave some troops to defend like a "gecko with a broken tail", so as to leave enough time for the large army to retreat.

This is not a problem in the army, but they are now part of the army that has been left behind, and the reason is to cover the crossing of the river, which makes them a little incomprehensible.

After all, in China at this time, there are people with guns and people who are grass kings, and after the development and growth, the government will have to play a trick like Zhao'an.

But now the principal Zhang in front of him doesn't care about this at all, and all he sees is the people, why is this happening.

However, Zhang Sixing's last sentence still calmed everyone's hearts a little. At least they all know that Zhang Sixing is a man of his word, and he said that he would be the last to evacuate Jinling City, and he did not break his promise.

With everything arranged, everyone got into action.

Horses, carts, cars, tanks and armored vehicles pulled out of the mountains all moved together.

Truckloads of people rushed to the river, where the first people had already crossed the river.

At this moment, there were no Japanese warships here, and they were still flashing searchlights in the direction of Jinling City, searching for soldiers and civilians floating on the river.

What even makes people feel ashamed of the "Tang Seng Commander" is that many of the ships in the hands of Tetsujiro Yamaoka were bought from his officers.

There were not only a few small steamers, towing large raft-like boats made from gasoline drums. Don't look very good-looking, but under the towing of small steamers, a boat can pull hundreds of people, and a few passenger ships can carry thousands of people in one boat.

Although the speed is not slow, there are nearly 100,000 people and troops protruding from Jinling City, and when will this be completed?

The most impressive thing about Tetsujiro Yamaoka is that he was in a pre-selected place during these ten days. According to Zhang Sixing's explanation, a few trestle bridges were built with some wooden stakes and planks.

This allowed the people who were transported by car to quickly board the ship from the trestle, which greatly increased the speed of transshipment.

And this fleet is the final hole card in Zhang Sixing's hand, otherwise how would he dare to break through from the front with so many refugees.

However, he did not expect that there would be so many refugees, and he would also have to bear the wrath of the Japanese. After all, there were Japanese on both sides of the Yangtze River at this time, and even if he broke through the Yangtze River and transferred the people there, he would still face a problem.

How can he arrange these tens of thousands of people, a large amount of food and vehicles are needed for transportation, and letting them go to their relatives and friends is tantamount to pushing them back into the mouth of the tiger.

But that's after the break from the Japanese-controlled area, so let's talk about it then.

Now his only question was whether the troops at hand would be able to withstand the Japanese attack, and how long would they be able to hold out with these improvised troops.
