Chapter 1123: The Death of the Nation

Seeing Zheng Changlin glaring at him with a pair of bull's eyes, looking angry, Song Xilian's face turned cold all of a sudden.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to rip out these dog eyes of yours?" Song Xilian said coldly.

Feeling that the temperature around him seemed to be a little lower, Zheng Changlin subconsciously shivered.

Looking at Song Xilian's face without anger and self-authority, Zheng Changlin reacted: Now is not the time for Tang Shengzhi to be the commander-in-chief of the garrison.

But no matter how you say it, he is also the commander of a brigade, and Song Xi doesn't even save face for himself in front of so many subordinates, which is too much......

Zheng Changlin's face turned purple, but in the end, he still didn't dare to make a fire.

"Get out of here!" Song Xilian took another step forward and stood in front of Zheng Changlin and shouted.

Zheng Changlin didn't know how to lift again, so Song Xilian decided to do it.

Zheng Changlin glared at Song Xilian resentfully, and took a step to the right.

Looking at Song Xilian's back as he walked into the doorway, Zheng Changlin's teeth gurgled loudly.

Song Xilian, you wait for Lao Tzu.

Listening to the sound of artillery coming from the southeast, a regiment commander came up worriedly, attached to Zheng Changlin's ear and said, "Brigade commander, if you don't go out of the city, you won't be able to get out......

"Lao Tzu still needs you to teach?"

Zheng Changlin said grimly, "What happened to the person you arranged?" ”

"It's already arranged!"

"Then let's do it!" Zheng Chang gritted his teeth and said.

If you can't cross the river, you have to wait for death......

Fight!

"Call Lao Yu over!" Zheng Changlin said in a low voice, "I'll give him an explanation in person!" ”

is the guard platoon commander of Zheng Changlin, the henchman of the henchmen.

The head of the regiment went and returned, and a bearded strong man squeezed to Zheng Changlin's side.

Zheng Changlin muttered in his ear, and nodded frequently.

Half an hour later, several strong men, escorting a middle-aged man, squeezed under the Rujiang Gate.

The middle-aged man is Zheng Changlin, but he is now dressed as a wealthy businessman, wearing a brand new robe and a melon skin hat.

He has a beard on his mouth and makeup on his face, so as long as someone who is not familiar with him is standing in front of him, he is basically unrecognizable.

The regiment commander and the guards are all wearing suits, and at first glance they are in the role of bodyguards.

Zheng Changlin's plan was simple: blend in with the refugees and leave the city from Rujiangmen.

Last night, when he was blocked by Song Xilian in the Xingzhong Gate, he took into account that there would be an emergency, and made this step of the arrangement early, but he didn't expect it to be used.

Zheng Changlin made a look, Lao Yu nodded, squeezed to the rejection of the horse, and said to the squad leader who was watching the bayonet: "Boss, I'm here again......"

The squad leader wanted to scold, but when he saw that it was Lao Yu, he suddenly smiled: "Everyone is here?" ”

Lao Yu nodded, and pointed to Zheng Changlin and the head of the regiment behind him: "This is the ...... of my boss and shopkeeper."

"Pretty rich, isn't it?" The squad leader stared at Zheng Changlin and said with a smile.

How could Lao Yu not understand the meaning, his right hand was spread, as if he was doing a trick, and there was a pile of banknotes in his palm.

The squad leader's eyes lit up.

Looking at the thickness, there are twenty or thirty sheets, which is worth a year's military salary.

The squad leader glanced left and right, took the money quietly, rubbed it with his hands, and found that it was true, so he put it in his sleeve with peace of mind.

"Go in quietly, don't make a noise!" The squad leader confessed.

Song Xi even governed the army majestically, and the squad leader did not dare to unscrupulously engage in favoritism.

"Don't worry, boss, I understand!" Lao Yu nodded and said.

The squad leader asked the soldiers to move away from the rejection horse and let Zheng Changlin and a few guards who had put on makeup......

Money opens the way, and there is no disadvantage.

Zheng Changlin relied on the colorful banknotes to get out of the Rujiang Gate.

And this was only done after a night of dotting and hard work by the guard platoon commander.

After the first group of people boarded the ship, Zheng Changlin's group was put into the dock.

As soon as he entered the dock, Zheng Changlin slammed into his heart.

Song Xilian?

Why is he here?

Song Xilian stood on the side of the dock, talking to Fang Buwei.

There was no one around, only five or six guards guarding more than ten meters away, and at a glance they knew that they were talking about something important.

According to Chen Xiding, two hours ago, the Japanese army had already encircled the Wulong Mountain Fortress. Even if the regiment of the fortress relied on the high artillery of the mountain, how long could it hold out? Don't forget, the Japanese also have cannons......" Song Xilian said in a low voice.

Fang Buwei gritted his teeth, lowered his head and did not make a sound.

He knew that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave, but he still had ten thousand unwillingness in his heart.

Fang Buwei didn't think about it: he and Song Xilian took the lead, organized the rout, re-fortified the city gates and the fortress of Wulong Mountain, and bought time for retreat.

But it was directly vetoed by Song Xilian.

All the commanders who can run have run away, and the news that should be known, these defeated troops are all known.

Looking at Chen Xiding and Liu Qixiong of the 71st Army, they gritted their teeth, patted their chests and swore that they would definitely report Wang Jingjiu and Shen Fazao when they arrived in Wuhan, so that they could be regarded as stabilizing the troops.

The people's hearts have been scattered, and it has been done to the extreme if they can control the troops not to mutiny, and not to shoot at their own people guarding the city gates.

And everyone knows that few of the troops left behind will survive......

Who would want to?

Whoever dares to stand up now and say that he wants to organize everyone to defend the city is the public enemy of the whole army.

Not to mention that Fang is not a national hero, even if he comes in person.

Again, time doesn't allow either.

Half an hour ago, Xiang Xianjucai on the other side of the river sent someone to report that traces of a small plainclothes detachment of Japanese troops had been found in the direction of Pukou.

This shows that the large force sent by the Japanese army to encircle Pukou is about to arrive.

If you still have to organize personnel to guard, it is equivalent to giving the Japanese army a head.

The only way to do this is to escape one and count one.

"Withdraw!" Song Xilian sighed again, "It's not that you and I are loyal to the country, but I really can't do anything, even if I go to Wuhan at that time, who can say that you and I are not here?" Staying will only increase casualties......"

"Good...... Remove! ”

After a long time, Fang Buwei burst out of his teeth with two words.

Song Xilian breathed a sigh of relief.

He found out that Fang Buwei was not an ordinary strongman, if he got into the tip of the horns, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

In terms of affection and reason, public and private, Song Xilian did not even want Fang Buwei to fall in Nanjing.

"What are you going to do?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"I'll withdraw Xiong Xingmin first, and the city gate can only be handed over to Commander Xiao!" Song Xilian said, "In addition, all the armies in the city have retreated to Xiaguan one after another, I will ask Commander Xiao to suspend the evacuation of refugees, and instead divert the defeated army, including your ship, you can no longer transport refugees......

Fang Bu closed his eyes in pain.

If it were him, he could only make this choice.

That is, only the first part of the teaching corps arrived in Xicheng last night, and the rest were refugees who were coerced by the 88th Division Supplementary Brigade.

Otherwise, how could Rujiangmen be reserved for refugees?

It's too late to transport troops.

"You watch the boat, I'll inform Xiong Xingmin!" Song Xilian patted Fang Buwei's shoulder.

Fang Buwei nodded heavily.

The two of them just turned around and happened to see Zheng Changlin who was about to board the ship.

Song Xilian didn't see anything, but just looked at the bright clothes of this group of people, and subconsciously took a second look.

But in Fang Buwei's eyes, these dozen people are flawed everywhere.

It's not a silk shirt or a suit, all of them are either rich or expensive.

But looking at the complexion of the skin, it looks like it has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

And more than a dozen people surrounded a middle-aged man in the middle, and at a glance, he knew that there was only one boss, and the rest were all bodyguards.

Looking at the costumes of several bodyguards, Fang Buwei's eyes narrowed fiercely.

What kind of people are so rich that they can even wear Pelomon as bodyguards?

And each piece is first-class.

Two years ago, when he was in Shanghai, Fang Buwei spent 800 oceans to buy a fifth-class product of a Pelomont suit, and the high-class goods were sold for nearly 4,000 oceans at that time.

How much did Lu Xun spend on a set of courtyard houses in Beijing?

In the future, such a suit can buy a bathroom of five square meters in Tomson in Lujiazui, Shanghai.

Song Ziwen didn't dare to be so generous.

Looking at the eyes and exposed skin of these people, as well as the things in their hands, Fang Bu sneered.

The cocoon on the tiger's mouth is thicker than the ocean, and it looks like it has been begging for food with a gun for many years......

The two strong men who were close to the middle-aged man, one of them was carrying a box, looking at the strong man's face was slightly red and his breath was panting, Fang Buwei could guess that the box contained either gold or silver.

The rich people who can have so much gold and silver have either run away early, or have long since hid in the embassies of Britain, the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union, where would they wait until this time to flee for their lives?

This gang is definitely a rout, and it is the kind that kills people and robs money.

In a hurry, what can Zheng Changlin do?

After he took over the gendarmerie, he smashed a foreign company specializing in exports, and he thought that he would make a small fortune after they were transported to Wuhan.

Temporarily, he has nowhere to find a suitable outfit, but it would be strange if he wore a tattered dress to give gifts to Song Xilian's soldiers and was not arrested red-handed.

So I could only settle for a moment, but who would have thought that it happened to crash into the arms of Song Xilian and Fang Buwei.

Seeing that Fang Bu sneered, Song Xilian asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Buwei's chin raised slightly, pointed at Zheng Changlin, lowered his voice and said: "I don't know which part of the rebels, after killing people and taking money, they disguised themselves as refugees and mixed up......"

Fang Buwei reminded him, and Song Xilian suddenly paid attention.

As soon as I looked at the suits, at the boxes, and then at the sight of these big men, I understood everything at once.

Eighty percent of the clothes were hidden pistols.

Even in the German armament division, only the chief officer above the company level is qualified to carry a pistol.

In this way, there are at least a dozen characters above the company commander level here, what is the identity of the middle-aged man who is protected in the middle?

Song Xilian stared at Zheng Changlin, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became.

"Zheng Changlin?" Song Xi snorted violently.

Seeing Fang Buwei for the first time, Zheng Changlin recognized it.

Who doesn't know a famous national hero?

Zheng Linguo also did not forget that Fang Buwei also had the nickname of "the first spy of the Republic of China", and Song Xilian was close at hand, so he was even more cautious, for fear of being recognized.

But unexpectedly, it was exposed in the end.

Hearing Song Xilian's loud shout, Zheng Linguo was excited, and just about to run back, he reacted violently.

This place is full of Song Xilian and Fang Buwei's soldiers, where can they run to?

Seeing that there were not many guards around Song Xilian and Fang Buwei, Zheng Linguo was vicious, and suddenly took out a grenade, pointed at Song Xilian and Fang Buwei, and shouted loudly: "Catch them, otherwise no one will survive......"

More than a dozen subordinates also reacted, and hurriedly pulled out their weapons.

Fang Bu was stunned for the next moment: how could this change come out?

But the body's reaction speed is not slow at all.

He rolled down on the spot, and by the way, Song Xilian also fell to the ground.

Under the leadership of the guard platoon elder Yu, more than a dozen guards rushed over quickly, but Zheng Changlin and the regiment commander drilled into the crowd.

"With grenades, I blow up the guards, you blow up the refugees!" Zheng Changlin quickly said to the head of the regiment, the head of the regiment nodded vigorously, and also took out a grenade.

Seeing that Fang Buwei fell to the ground, Ye Xingzhong and Guan Dashan, who were guarding in a circle, also reacted, and pumped the fast and slow machine to more than a dozen guards.

And Fang Buwei was faster than them, and the moment he fell to the ground, he drew his pistol and pulled the trigger.

The old man at the front fell in response.

Ye Xingzhong and Guan Dashan didn't even make a sound, they raised their guns to shoot a few points, and put down two more.

Zheng Changlin, who was standing in the crowd, saw it clearly.

Why did Fang Buwei's reaction be so fast?

Zheng Changlin gritted his teeth, bit off the latch, and threw the grenade from the top of his head.

Ye Xingzhong and Guan Dashan reacted relatively quickly, and when they saw the smoking thing flying out, they subconsciously pounced down, but several of Song Xilian's guards were miserable and were blown up.

With the sound of two explosions, the refugees suddenly became a swarm of bees, some jumped into the boat, some jumped into the water, and a group rushed towards Fang Buwei and Song Xilian like headless flies.

Because it's more empty over there.

Zheng Changlin and the head of the regiment were hidden in this group of people.

His purpose is very clear: to catch Song Xilian, even if he is half dead.

Because most of the soldiers on the shore are Song Xilian's soldiers, it is only useful to use Song Xilian as a blackmailer.

At the same time as the thought was born, Zheng Changlin took out another grenade, turned his head and said to the head of the regiment: "If you don't fight, you will die......"

The regimental commander nodded with a flushed face and raised the gun in his hand.

Seeing a group of people rushing towards him, Fang Buwei grabbed Song Xilian, stepped back with his waist bent, and fired a few shots into the sky: "Don't come here......"

At the same time as Fang Buwei fired, the regiment commander also pulled the trigger.

Seeing someone lying in a pool of blood behind him, who else cares about the warning from above?

Ye Xingzhong and Guan Dashan were just about to stand up when a few feet stepped on their heads.

"Shoot......" Ye Xingzhong roared.

After a few gunshots, the refugees ran faster towards Fang Buwei.

Fang Bu was clucking at the teeth, and was hesitating to shoot, when a grenade flew out of the crowd.

This time it was thrown straight at him.

Fang Buwei hugged Song Xilian and rolled to the right on the spot.

But Zheng Changlin's time control was excellent, and the grenade exploded in mid-air.

Song Xi even roared, but Fang Buwei snorted.

Both were hit by shrapnel.

What's the matter, why is Fang not so in the way?

If it weren't for Fang Buwei, Song Xilian would have been put down by himself.

Zheng Changlin didn't want Song Xilian's life, but he only asked for a tone.

As long as he crosses the river, Guan Song Xi will not even die.

But it must be solved first.

"Carry me!" Zheng Changlin let out a low roar and jumped onto the back of the regiment leader.

At this time, Fang Buwei held up his arms, endured great pain, and tried to get up.

Zheng Changlin held his breath and aimed the muzzle of the fast and slow machine at Fang Buwei.

"Click......

only heard a few gunshots, and a few blood flowers appeared in Fang Buwei's chest.

"Fang is not ......" Song Xilian roared, and directly burst into the corner of his eye.

"Shoot ......"

Song Xilian hugged Fang Buwei and roared at the sky.

Just got up, and saw Fang Buwei, who was still bleeding in his chest, Ye Xingzhong roared angrily, tightly held the trigger of the fast and slow machine, and shot towards the crowd.

At the same time, the soldiers on the ship also raised their guns in their hands.

Like a wave of wheat blown by a strong wind, rushing towards the chaotic people of Fang Buwei, falling one stubble after another......

……

"Smack"!

With a crisp sound, four finger prints appeared on Ye Xingzhong's face.

"Why didn't you shoot?" Song Xilian roared.

The corners of his eyes were cracked, blood flowed on his face, and he was dried by the wind, leaving black marks on Song Xilian's face.

It's not even a flesh wound.

In addition to the shrapnel of the grenade that broke his arm, Zheng Changlin finished beating Fang Buwei, and fired another shot at Song Xilian, aiming more accurately and hitting Song Xilian's thigh.

Fang Buwei was shot three times, one in the chest, one in the lower abdomen, and one in the thigh......

The conditions were limited, the time was not enough, and the bullet remained in the body.

Fortunately, although he was unconscious, his breathing and heartbeat were stable.

I just don't know if I can hold on to Chuzhou.

Ye Xingzhong lowered his head and gritted his teeth, not defending a word.

He had already been wrapped up in the crowd by the refugees, and the more he shot, the faster the refugees rushed towards Fang Buwei.

But Fang was not injured, and Ye Xingzhong could not escape the blame.

Because he was talking about confidential military information, Fang didn't dare to arrange more guards for fear of leaking the news.

In addition to a few of Song Xilian's personal guards, there were only Ye Xingzhong and Guan Dashan.

Who would have thought that someone would just take advantage of the loophole.

Song Xilian looked at Fang Buwei, who was lying flat in the carriage, wrapped like a zongzi, and then looked at his guard company commander and Ye Xingzhong, and said coldly: "If Fang Buwei dies, you can cut yourself......

Song Xilian's guard company commander was shocked, and looked at Song Xilian in disbelief, but Ye Xingzhong stood up sharply, and replied with tears: "Yes!" ”

Song Xilian stood up, looked at the lower pass under the fire, and said lightly: "Don't worry, someone will accompany you!" ”

He is not talking about the refugees and the rout army that are being massacred by the Japanese army, but the culprit of all this: Commander Tang!

"Commander, you can go!" The military doctor gave Fang Buwei the injection, and saw that he was breathing steadily and his heartbeat was normal, so he reported to Song Xilian.

"Lift up!" Song Xi didn't even point a finger.

The four guards on the left and right sides lifted the stretcher in unison and put it on their laps.

There is no good way to do it, but to use this method to prevent shocks.

"Let's go!" Song Xilian patted the roof of the military truck.

These military trucks were specially left to Fang Buwei before Hu Zongnan left, but he didn't expect that Fang Buwei couldn't get into the cab and could only hide in the carriage?

"Dididi!" The driver honked his horn three times, and several military trucks in front of him also honked their horns continuously.

This is the marching military order, and as the car moves, the troops in front of the car and behind the car begin to move.

Now more than two hours have passed since he left Fang Wei.

The 36th Division was able to withdraw to Pukou, and the Japanese warships rushed to Shimonoseki.

At this time, the gunshots in Xiaguan were endless, and the mourning shook the sky......

Song Xilian turned around a little bit, forcing himself not to think about it and not to look.

In an instant, two lines of blood and tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto Fang Buwei's face.

Song Xilian squatted down, wiped away the tears on Fang Buwei's face, and muttered:

"The whole world is mourning...... But more than 100,000 people have been able to escape because of you, and you are the biggest contributor to this battle......

Don't worry, if you really die, I will definitely avenge you and will avenge them......"

Fang Buwei's eyelids trembled slightly!
