The cold wind was blowing, and Yang Ling's roar was loud and powerful with the cold wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 400 brothers subconsciously stood solemnly, but their faces covered with dust and blood were still sluggish, as if they had lost their souls.

"Nanjing City is broken, we have lost the battle, are you afraid?!"

"Are we so vulnerable? We have all rolled over to fight the corpse mountain and sea of blood in Shanghai, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, why are you becoming soft now, and you want to be a deserter? ”

Yang Ling's voice was full of penetration, with doubts and questions that every brother could hear clearly.

These brothers were silent for a long time, and after this series of bloody battles, countless brothers died, but now that the capital Nanjing was lost and the governor had fled, they were also disheartened.

Seeing that the brothers were silent, Yang Ling added: "Give me peace of mind and say it boldly, and say whatever you want."

"Sir, we're not afraid, the capital is lost, the chief has run away, we're all gone, what's the point of fighting, it's better to go home and farm." As soon as Yang Ling's words fell, a bold brother opened his mouth.

Yang Ling sneered and asked rhetorically, "Who said that if we lose our capital, we will lose the country?"

Yang Ling paused and continued: "Our capital Nanjing is lost, yes! But we still have 40,000 compatriots, and millions of troops, and thousands of cities behind us! The war is not over today, as long as we continue to fight, we must regain what we lost today in the future! We will not give in! ”

"Sir, what if the upper side surrenders?" Sharp questions were asked.

The loss of Nanking was a major blow to the Chinese people, especially the flight of the governors, which caused many brothers to lose confidence in the government, fearing that they would be frightened by the powerful Japanese army and choose to surrender.

"I don't know where you heard this, but as far as I know, the government will not surrender! The defeat at Nanking was only temporary, we soon had new reinforcements coming over, and on the battlefield in the north, the fraternal troops were still fighting bloodily, and as long as our army was still resisting, the government had no reason to surrender! ”

"Sir, can we still defeat the devil?"

Yang Ling said categorically: "Yes! As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the devils! Until they are driven out of China! ”

Yang Ling's words were firm and forceful, and many brothers rekindled hope that the defeat in Nanjing was not over, and neither was the end of the war.

Yang Ling's tone also softened, and he said earnestly: "Brothers, if all of us soldiers give up resistance, then we will really become slaves of the country, and then this will be the realm of devils, can you rest assured that your parents, wives and children are living in fear?" That devil is cruel and tight. ”

These brothers had seen the ferocity of devils, and almost everywhere they went, and almost no people or animals were left behind, and those villages and towns were burned to the ground, and they clenched their fists at the thought that their hometown might become like this, and this was absolutely not allowed.

"Brethren, take up arms and continue to fight the little devils to the end! Otherwise, the blood of our dead brothers will be shed in vain! ”

Yang Ling's words had an inspiring effect, and the blood in the bones of the brothers to serve the country boiled again, raising their arms and shouting to fight to the end! The sluggish expression was swept away, which made Yang Ling very satisfied.

"Now I order to eat! Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight devils! Yang Ling saw that the brothers had regained their morale, so he didn't say anything more.

Although Yang Ling's speech was not long, it also made it clear to the brothers that if he really became a slave to the country, what would happen in that day, for the sake of his relatives and hometown, he must continue to fight.

"Is it true that the upper side will not surrender?" Zhang Hongying handed a piece of roasted sweet potato to Yang Ling, sat down against him, and asked with a worried face.

The purpose of the Japanese army to capture Nanjing was to force the Nationalist Government to submit through this kind of force, and now that Nanjing has been lost and the Chinese elite has been lost, it is no wonder that Zhang Hongying and others are worried.

Yang Ling patted her on the shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "Do you believe me?"

Zhang Hongying nodded: "I believe in you."

"That's right, the government will not surrender, although Nanjing is lost, there is still Wuhan, there is Chongqing, and there are thousands of brothers who defend their homes and defend the country......"

Just as Chairman Chiang Kai-shek said in his speech, when the war starts, there will be no distinction between the north and the south, and there will be no distinction between the old and the young, and everyone will have the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the war; in the face of the vast sea of the Chinese people, the Japanese army will fall into a quagmire even if it is sharp.

Now it is the National Revolutionary Army fighting bloody battles in front, many areas that have not been affected by the war are still spending time drinking, and many Chinese will never know to be afraid if they do not put their knives on their necks.

However, now that the elite of the government's front-line army has been lost, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been stained on the battlefield with blood, it can be expected that in the near future, a large number of land and cities in Central, North, and South China will fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

The Japanese spy agencies were active in the land of China, and they preached that this war was their personal conflict with Chairman Chiang, which had nothing to do with the army and the people, and paralyzed many people, but this veil would eventually be pierced by bloody bayonets......

Yang Ling and the others did not stop too much along the way, carrying a large number of wounded, and after four days and four nights of marching, they finally arrived at Chuzhou City.

Chuzhou is the warning area of Hu Zongnan's First Army, and when they enter Chuzhou, Yang Ling and their hundreds of brothers are temporarily out of danger.

The whole city of Chuzhou was in chaos, refugees from the countryside could be seen everywhere, the roads were clogged with wagons full of parcels, dirty and begging children were pleading in the crowd, and the air was filled with a foul stench from the droppings of mules and horses.

The routs who broke out of the siege of Nanjing wandered the streets in twos and threes, many carrying dirty guns, most of them empty-handed, not knowing whether the guns were lost or sold for food.

At least Yang Ling saw four or five people dressed as ordinary people, happily changing various weapons from the hands of the soldiers.

Those peddlers surrounded these soldiers to sell all kinds of food and drink, as if they regarded these soldiers as big customers.

These soldiers who broke through fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on the battlefield for many days, and more or less captured some rare gadgets, which were all cheaper at the moment.

The troops and refugees who broke through the siege and fled to Chuzhou plunged the entire city of Chuzhou into a deformed prosperity, and if it weren't for Hu Zongnan's First Army, which looked like it was facing a great enemy, there would not be the slightest atmosphere of war here.
