Shao Fei took the last 8 people to change into devil uniforms and left the tavern. Nanjing has completely fallen, Shao Fei has no intention of fighting at this time, it is not that he does not want to kill the devils, but he does not want to sacrifice them in vain, because the battle has lost its purpose.

It is very dangerous to move during the day, so Shao Fei decided to find a very hidden place to settle down first and act at night. He knew that there was a safe zone (refugee area) in Nanjing, a place restricted by international conventions, and that the Japanese army would not easily carry out killings there, so he decided to go there at night, where he might find Master Sun Yuanliang.

On the 13th, the most chaotic places in Nanjing were Rujiangmen and Xiaguan Ferry.

At 5 o'clock on the 12th, after Tang Shengzhi issued the order to break through and retreat, the resistance of the Chinese army collapsed. However, the retreat plan he drew up was not feasible, and there were no evacuation ships at all, and there was a great deal of randomness in the retreat arrangement, and no one even informed the 36th Division, which was tasked with supervising the battle.

As a result, in order to prevent the retreat of the various units of the National Army, the 36th Division also clashed between the two sides, which led to an even more chaotic form.

Some generals broke away from their units without permission after receiving the order to retreat and fled on their own. They only made a retreat call to their subordinate troops or went back to arrange a retreat, arrived at Xiaguan first, and took a ferry with the garrison headquarters and the 36th Division to Jiangbei first.

For example, Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army, and Shen Zao, commander of the 87th Division of the army, did not return to the command post at all; After Gui Yongqing, the captain of the teaching corps, returned to the command post in the basement of Fuguishan, he informed the staff of the retreat task, that is, to leave the chief of staff Qiu Qingquan to deal with the documents, etc., and went to Xiaguan alone; Hu Qiru, commander of the 2nd Brigade, learned of the retreat earlier, and without waiting for the end of the meeting, he immediately informed the commander of the 3rd Regiment by telephone that the commander of the 3rd Regiment would act as the brigade commander and go to Xiaguan alone on the pretext that he had been ordered to go to Xiaguan to contact the 36th Division.

When some of the generals of the teaching corps fled, the regiment commanders below were still fighting the Japanese army on the periphery, and until half past eight in the evening of the 12th, the four regiment commanders of the corps were still holding a meeting in Purple Mountain. It wasn't until 12 o'clock in the night that the breakout began.

When Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 71st Army, and Shen Zao, commander of the 87th Division, fled on the afternoon of the 12th, they did not notify the troops outside the city, and it was not until the evening of the 12th that the 261st Brigade understood everything when the current city wall was undefended, but it was too late.

When the troops of Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, retreated, he actually ordered the city gate to be closed. Because the troops in the city mostly retreated along the Zhongshan Road, and the two gates on the left and right of the Rujiang Gate have been blocked, only the middle gate can be passed, and the various departments are vying to pass first, not letting each other go, and many people have been trampled to death because of the crowding. After the 36th Division crossed the river, Song Xilian actually ordered the ship to be burned, and he didn't care about the life or death of other troops.

All of the above directly led to the tragedy of tens of thousands of soldiers of the National Army who were stranded at the Guandu and Nanjing City, and finally were slaughtered by the Japanese army.

"I swear to live and die together in Nanjing!"

Compared with those generals who fled, Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police of the Nanjing Garrison of the 6th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, his personality charm is even more dazzling. He wears six hats, and he is beautiful, but in fact he is helpless. With his high position, he could have left Nanjing first, but he resolutely decided to stay and live and die with Nanjing.

After receiving the order to retreat, Xiao Shanling thought not about how to escape, but how to use his existing forces to drag the Japanese army and buy time for the large army to cross the river.

In order to boost morale, Xiao Shanling said awe-inspiring to the officers and soldiers under him: "Now the situation is chaotic, everyone only cares about fleeing for their lives, and the whole city is full of brave scattered soldiers, not obeying the command, and the morale of the army and the people cannot be stabilized." It is the duty of soldiers to defend the land and defend the country, and we should serve the country loyally, lie on the battlefield with a smile, and defend Nanjing! ”

Subsequently, Xiao Shanling ordered the gendarmes to build additional barricades and fortifications in Nanjing, prepare for street fighting, and motivate the gendarmes to live and die with Nanjing. He also led his subordinates to burn all the classified files of the city government. After everything was disposed of, he immediately led the remaining more than 4oo gendarmes and policemen to stop the Japanese army.

On the 13th, several city gates of Nanjing were captured, and a large number of Japanese troops tried to go north along Zhonghua Road, breaking through the Drum Tower and Rujiang Gate. The Japanese were very angry and set up mountain artillery in the street to bombard the shops.

The entire city of Nanjing trembled in the flames. Citizens crouched at home, enduring terror and unknown fate. Huddled on the cold winter road were homeless refugees, and wounded soldiers who had been withdrawn from their positions in pain and groaning helplessly.

Xiao Shanling led the gendarmes and police to resist step by step, gathered up the personnel, and began to retreat to Xiaguan.

When they came to the Xiaguan Ferry, there was not a single boat in Xiaoshanling, and there were only thousands of stragglers and refugees waiting helplessly and desperately for the impossible ship of life.

Xiao Shanling immediately organized the military police, police, and stragglers to save themselves. Tie the wooden row, find the door board, log and so on to cross the river.

The subordinates set up a solid raft, and an officer walked up to Xiao Shanling: "Sir, the raft is tied, you go first." ”

Xiao Shanling was very annoyed after hearing this, and reprimanded: "What are you on!" So many people haven't left, how can I steal my life! ”

The officer was a little helpless, and carried him on the raft several times, but he jumped off several times and continued to return to the shore to direct the evacuation of the people.

"Boom!" "Da Da Da" "Bang! "Dense gunfire, machine gun, rifle fire came one after another. The Japanese army began to outflank the Xiaguan ferry in many ways, and fierce fighting resumed.

Xiao Shanling immediately commanded the military police and police forces to snipe along the river, covering the civilians at the ferry to continue the retreat.

"Kill! Sacrifice your life to serve the country and swear to kill the enemy! ”

Xiao Shanling led the soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army in Xiaguan. The generals were fearless, the soldiers were heroic, and thousands of people repeatedly rushed to kill under the leadership of Xiao Shanling. However, due to several days of fighting, the physical strength was exhausted, and the surrounding military and police suffered heavy casualties.

A large number of Japanese troops attacked with 6 waters, and fired wildly and cruelly at the front, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians died tragically on the riverside, floating all over the field, and dyed half of the Yangtze River water red.

Seeing this, Xiao Shanling's eyes were on fire, and he led his troops to continue fighting. Everyone knew that this was the place where they would die, and that they would fight to the death, and that the enemy would pay the price of blood for every step they made.

The two sides fought fiercely for 5 hours, and finally because of the disparity in numbers, there was no help, and thousands of soldiers died heroically on the riverside.

"Ordered to defend the capital, there is no way to defend, there is no way to fight the party-state, there is no way to kill the enemy, there is no way to fight the old and young in Jinling, greedy for life and afraid of death, condescending to be a slave, what face to see the Jiangdong father!"

Xiao Shanling, who was standing in the water, did not want to be captured and humiliated, so he resolutely aimed his pistol at himself. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and General Xiao Shanling fell into the already red river. Xiaoshan made the righteousness awe-inspiring, blood-stained Jinling, and fulfilled the promise of "vowing to live and die with Nanjing" with his own righteous deeds.

Dun poetry and courtesy, righteous courage and loyalty to the liver, angry and violent day, name and Zhongshan.

Xiao Shan ordered the general to die and also announced the end of the defense of Nanjing. Nanjing did not fall without a fight, when the Japanese army besieged the city, countless heroes and martyrs held on to the last moment with their flesh and blood, and the battlefield was stained with blood, and every inch of land was contested.
