At the same time that the city gate was broken, Zhang Wei had already arrived in the area of Fugui Mountain. The chaos was still rampant, the fierce battle in the front position was still going on, and the sound of guns shook the ground. The artillery battalion behind Fugui Mountain used its few remaining mountain guns to return fire at the attacking Japanese army.

"Keep in formation, don't be overwhelmed, search for the area around the headquarters headquarters" Zhang Wei passed this order to everyone's ears through the communication squad. was not killed by the Japanese, but was crushed by the rebels, wouldn't it become a laughing stock for the ages.

Boom, extended artillery fire exploded near Fugui Mountain, and several unlucky routers lost their lives for it.

Zhang Wei's reinforced company was searching for the headquarters headquarters at the tunnel, which was the command center of the whole corps and the seat of senior officers. Zhang Wei's search squad soldiers were sent out by him, and they kept looking for the headquarters headquarters at the tunnel along the bottom of Fugui Mountain.

"Company commander, I found it, you can go over and have a look", Zhang Wei heard the report of the squad leader of the search squad, and immediately ordered to speed up the march and march towards the headquarters headquarters.

A large protrusion was built at the pass to protect the entrance, and this towering protrusion, with its originally square eaves, was directly hit by a large-caliber shell, cutting off a large part of the corner.

The soldiers who didn't have time to react at the exit were blown to pieces, and a few people Zhang Wei recognized as Sun Baoxian, a staff officer of the headquarters headquarters. Inside and outside the exit, the command post still maintained its majesty, the troops outside were constantly routing, the officers were still going in and out to report the military situation, and from time to time telephone soldiers ran out to repair the blown up telephone lines.

"It seems that there are still people in command inside, and I have come to the right place," Zhang Wei thought. Zhang Wei straightened his military uniform and called Qiu Wei and He Kun. "Let's go, let's go in."

As soon as they walked to the mouth of the tunnel, Zhang Wei and the three of them were stopped, and now although the troops were chaotic, the guards in charge of the guard were still dutifully fulfilling their obligations. The shell gun pointed at Zhang Wei, the leading squad leader, and said: "What kind of person, this is a military place." ”

"What kind of person, be a soldier, hurry up and let the gentlemen in" He Kun returned impatiently. When the guards heard this, they looked at He Kun angrily, the shell gun in their hands was loaded with fire, and the muzzles of the guards around them were also transferred to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei glared at He Kun and said to the guards: "My subordinates are not sensible, brother, we are soldiers of the third regiment, and the battle in front is too bad, there are only so many people left, can you let us in, accommodating." ”

The guard glanced at Zhang Wei's chest mark, put down the gun, and said, "Go in."

After thanking the guards, Zhang Wei and the three of them walked into the tunnel, it was cold in winter, and the tunnel at the foot of the mountain was even colder, and the three people who walked in shivered, and the soldiers who led the way smiled. continued to guide Zhang Wei in the direction of the command post.

In the tunnels, the electric lights were still working in good condition, the officers who came and went conveyed orders from the command center, in the offices and telephone rooms, there were roars from time to time, and the collapse of the battle line did not affect the procedures of the work of the command center, and everything was going according to plan.

"When you get to the place, go in by yourselves." The guards brought to the door of the command post, the steel iron door was tightly closed, the guards at the door tightened the guard, and the three of them pushed the gate open. Zhang Wei was a little nervous, if it was correct, the people inside were the captain Gui Yongqing and the chief of staff Qiu Qingquan, that is, he was about to meet real historical figures.

"Huh" exhaled a breath of turbidity, Zhang Wei took He Kun and Qiu Wei and walked in, inside, what Zhang Wei saw was not the crowded and busy as imagined, there were only five or six people in the huge command post, four people squatted on the ground, adding paper to the burning copper basin, which was burning the archives.

On the desk, a burly officer in civilian military clothes turned his back to Zhang Wei, who looked at the armed belt of the officer's pistol and the leather boots on his feet. Still able to determine the identity of this person, the officer snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and spat out a smoke ring from the residual cigarette in his mouth. Finally turned around.

A pair of divine eyes glanced at Zhang Wei and the three of them, the head of the inch board was very energetic, and at a distance of two meters, Zhang Wei vaguely saw the logo on his badge and taught Qiu Qingquan, chief of staff of the corps.

"It turned out to be Qiu Madman" Zhang Wei stood up and said calmly: Hello sir, Zhang Wei, the commander of the reinforced company of the third regiment of the second infantry brigade, reports!

Qiu Qingquan also stopped his glance at this time, raised his head and stared at Zhang Wei's eyes. "Reinforcement? Where are these formed units in the regiments of our corps? ”

"The report was originally the platoon commander of the first platoon of the fourth company of the second battalion, our regiment fought bloody battles in the area of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and the foothills of the Purple Mountain, suffered heavy casualties, the battalion commander was killed, and most of the company commanders were also killed.

Qiu Qingquan nodded: Your regiment fought well, but your regiment commander sent you like this

Zhang Wei's expression darkened, and he said gloomily: "Counselor, our regiment is almost gone, the regiment headquarters has also been bombed, Commander Sun and the deputy regiment commander have been martyred, and now there are routs everywhere outside, so I took my brothers to the headquarters headquarters." ”

"Commander Li is a man, the troops belonging to your regiment and the third brigade fought well, and they held out the longest, and you are responsible for bringing the remnants over." After Qiu Qingquan finished speaking, his brows furrowed again.

Zhang Wei asked: "Senza, now that it's so chaotic outside, is it the order to retreat?"

"That's right, it's nothing to tell you now, let me make it clear to you, Captain Gui has already conveyed the order to retreat to me and the regiments. I wanted to stay and talk on the phone, but I couldn't get through at all, and it seems that they are planning to retreat on their own. ”

Zhang Wei clenched his fists and said subconsciously; "It's over, it's all over." Qiu Qingquan then asked, "It's over?" What do you mean? The troops are now in a state of collapse, but to say that it is all over, you must be too pessimistic. ”

Zhang Wei felt bitter in his heart, Qiu Qingquan was definitely one of the best generals and famous generals in the national army, but now it seems that his estimate of the battle situation in Nanjing is still too optimistic, in order to explain to him, Zhang Wei can only dare to tell him what he has seen and heard in the later generations.

"Counselor, before the retreat order was issued, many positions of our army were lost, plus there were many new soldiers, and all the armies everywhere could not last long, the troops did not have the heart to break through and organize at all, and they rushed to the city and the riverside, all thinking of taking boats, plus the people and refugees, all the troops were scattered, there were few boats on the riverside and they were taken in, so many people could not retreat at all, and in the end they could only ...... It can only be lost in vain. ”

Qiu Qingquan listened to Zhang Wei's words, sighed and said: "Alas, in fact, I have already thought of these, but really, I really never thought that this would come true, 100,000 troops." Your little platoon leader has a good eye. Qiu Qingquan glanced at Zhang Wei with a little appreciation.

Zhang Wei stood up and lowered his head. In fact, he knew that where he had that ability, it was nothing more than relying on the unpredictable prophet of the traverser, and he really let him think for himself, and he couldn't even think of a hair.

"Sen, the documents have been burned, we, let's withdraw." The staff officer who was squatting on the ground to burn the documents asked a little stammered, and several people beside him also stood up and looked at Qiu Qingquan.

Qiu Qingquan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, you guys go first, and then I'll talk to the regiments and battalions of the corps on the phone and get in touch." ”

Seeing this, the staff officer saluted Qiu Qingquan. "Take care, let's withdraw first and go to the riverside to meet the captain." After a few people left, Qiu Qingquan grabbed the phone on the table and connected the line of the brigade headquarters, but no one answered, and when he connected the line of the regiment headquarters, no one answered, and when he connected the line of the mountain artillery battalion, there was still no answer.

Clang, Qiu Qingquan shook off the phone in his hand and slammed it on the table, Zhang Wei looked at Qiu Qingquan, he knew that the soldier's last hope was gone, and the chaotic organization of the defenders of the city and the disorderly retreat and rout made him lose hope.

Qiu Qingquan glanced at Zhang Wei: "Let's go, let's retreat too, you have seen it, all brigades and regiments have either been martyred or have retreated, take your people, let's go together." ”

A long sigh.
