Chapter 175: The Most Beautiful Retrograde

Seeing Guo Qi follow, more than a dozen remnants of the Central Military Academy did not hesitate to follow.

At this time, only about 20 gendarmes of the gendarmerie corps remained, and these 20 or so gendarmes hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up their rifles and followed.

It's just that Zhong Yi's harvest is all there is to it.

The fact that these dozen remnants of the Teaching Corps and the 20 or so Gendarmes of the Gendarmerie Corps were willing to stand up and fight to the death against the Kuroda Squadron just now shows that their fighting spirit has not been extinguished and their blood has not yet been cold!

However, the fighting spirit of the hundreds of thousands of national troops crowded on the dock has been completely extinguished!

Zida learned that Tang Shengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, took the lead in escaping, and found that those army commanders and division commanders had snatched the only few ferries on the dock, and the blood of these hundreds of thousands of national army routs was cold!

They are no longer willing to fight for anyone!

Therefore, when more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment lined up in a neat four-way column, stepped on a uniform pace, and sang a loud military song from the front of the wharf, although the more than 100,000 soldiers of the national army crowded on the wharf were surprised and even admired, but none of them were willing to go with them!

Until the queue ended, none of the routs followed!

Seeing this, Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh softly.

It seems that the hearts of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the national army have been deeply broken by senior generals such as Tang Shengzhi, Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, Gui Yongqing and Yu Jishi!

It is already extremely difficult to regain the hearts of these soldiers of the national army!

But fortunately, Zhong Yi has never had the luxury of expecting it, just relying on an army song, just by walking in the queue once, he can reawaken the fighting spirit of these hundreds of thousands of national army soldiers!

This time, what Zhong Yi wanted was just to plant a seed in the hearts of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the national army, telling them that Nanjing had not yet fallen, and there was still a force in the city of Nanjing that was resisting to the death!

In the blink of an eye, the four-way column of the 367th Regiment had already arrived at the entrance of the Shimonoseki Wharf.

Immediately afterwards, the four-way column of the 367th Regiment turned a corner and drove straight towards Rujiangmen!

Seeing the more than 2,000 officers and men of the 367th Regiment lining up in a neat queue, stepping on neat steps, singing loud military songs, and walking towards the Rujiang Gate without hesitation, the faces of the more than 100,000 national troops on the wharf could not help but show shame.

It's just that there is still not a single national army rout who stood up and joined the 367 team column.

It is only a little more than 1,000 meters from Xiaguan Wharf to Rujiangmen, and there is a highway to connect it!

At this time, the highway was already crowded with refugees fleeing out of the city, and the entire highway was almost impassable!

However, when the four-way column of the 367th Regiment slowly approached, the refugees crowded on the road spontaneously gave way to both sides, and the originally impassable highway soon spontaneously cleared a passage.

Obviously, these refugees all know what the 367 regiment is coming to the city for?

At this time, if you look down from the sky above Nanjing, you will see a unique and magnificent picture!

I saw that on the Zhongshan North Road that runs through the Rujiang Gate, countless refugees helped the old and the young, crying all the way to the north!

But at the same time, a disheveled national army is going backwards to the south, the intersection of the two people, the refugees who fled north have given way to both sides, watching this national army enter the Rujiang Gate along the road, and then cross the Rujiang Gate to open on the North Zhongshan Road, and continue along the North Zhongshan Road, mightily to the south!

……

Xu Chuanyin, who came out to find someone, happened to witness this scene!

Xu Chuanyin went to the United States to study in his early years, obtained a doctorate in economics, and has been working in the railway department since returning to China, serving as a commissioner in Hunan and Guizhou, and is now the director of the sales department of the Ministry of Railways!

As a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Railways, Xu Chuanyin is fully capable of getting a ferry or train ticket, so that he will not be like ordinary citizens or refugees in Nanjing, who are forced to stay in Nanjing because they cannot buy a ferry or train ticket.

But Xu Chuanyin still chose to stay, because he was reluctant to save his family property for many years, and in addition, he also knew the deputy counselor of the US Embassy, so he felt that his safety was still guaranteed!

When Xu Chuanyin came out this time, he originally wanted to go to the US Embassy at No. 18 Xikang Road, but he heard a piercing air defense siren on the way, and then he ran to Rujiangmen in a panic.

Just as Xu Chuanyin was about to find his way home, he saw an army coming over.

It is impossible for Xu Chuanyin not to notice this army, because under the bright street lamps and against the backdrop of the refugees who fled north in a hurry, this army going south retrograde is too eye-catching!

"Didn't the national army run away? Why is it that at this time, there are still national troops marching into the city? ”

Xu Chuanyin muttered, turned around and walked to the right side of Zhongshan North Road, watching this army with various uniforms but momentum slowly drive over.

……

Nanjing was founded during the Three Kingdoms period.

After the expansion of Ming Taizu, there is today's magnificent atmosphere!

However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the city of Nanjing is not a standard rectangle, and correspondingly, the main street in the city is not the traditional intersection of two main streets, but the intersection of three main streets from the outside to the inside.

Nanjing's three main streets are Zhongshan North Road, Zhongshan East Road and Zhongshan South Road!

The intersection of the three main streets is Xinjiekou, which is the geographical center of Nanjing!

At this moment, Shen Xian is struggling with the position at Xinjiekou, wondering whether to blow up the cannon?

Shen Xian is the deputy company commander of the 42nd Artillery Regiment 1st Battalion Anti-aircraft Gun Company 3, in charge of 6 Erlikon 20mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns!

Shen Xian just learned from the friendly army that Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, had already run away, and gave the order for the whole army to evacuate before escaping!

Since you want to withdraw, you must blow up the artillery!

You can't leave the cannon to the devils, can you?

But when it came time to explode, Shen Xian was reluctant!

These 6 Erlikon 20mm caliber twin anti-aircraft guns are all treasures, relying on these 6 anti-aircraft guns, their 3rd company has already beaten down 5 devil bombers!

But no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to blow up!

Gritting his teeth, Shen Xian put a five-pound explosive bag under the battery of one of the anti-aircraft guns!

Seeing this, an artilleryman immediately stepped forward and hugged the barrel of the gun and cried: "Company commander, you can't blow up, you can't blow up, you can't blow up the artillery, you can't blow up the artillery, you can't blow up the artillery!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Xian's eyes immediately turned red.

At this time, another artilleryman said: "Company commander, let's just not leave, stay, and fight the devil to the end!" I can't stand it anymore, and it's not too late to blow up the cannons! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, if you don't leave, you will stay!"

"Don't go, fight with the devil of the dog day!"

The remaining 30 or so artillerymen also asked for battle.

Shen Xian's blood boiled when he heard this, and he nodded violently and said, "Okay, then don't go, fuck the dog!" ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Xian turned his head, but suddenly saw an army lined up and walked over.
