Chapter 311: The Runaway Chief

Whistling bullets puffed into the walls, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the Japanese army rushed to Jiao Chaoming's hiding place like enraged beasts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jiao Chaoming shot backwards as he shouted for the women to escape.

The panicked women struggled to get up under Jiao Chaoming's reminder and staggered into the distance.

"Baga Ya Road! Dead, dead, dead! The Japanese officer was furious when he saw the prey in his hands running away, raised his short gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced the chest of a young woman, who fell to the ground with a scream, her face covered in pain.

The Japanese officer's face was distorted and terrifying, and he ordered the Japanese soldiers: "Kill them!"

The Japanese soldiers who did not pursue Jiao Chaoming laughed fiercely, stood with their guns raised, and opened fire on the women who fled in panic.

The crackling gunshots rang out, the bullets flew out with the smoke of gunpowder at a high speed, and the women who were running fell to the ground one after another, and some of them did not hit the vital point, struggling to continue crawling, trying to escape from the Japanese army's grasp.

Jiao Chaoming was already embarrassed under the pursuit of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, and when he turned around and saw that those women were shot dead on the spot, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Little devil! I'm sketching grandma! Jiao Chaoming cursed loudly, with a cry in his voice, he wanted to save people, but found that his strength was so weak.

Jiao Chaoming ran in the rain of bullets, cursing, the cold wind with gunpowder smoke poured into his throat, making him choked and speechless, and a line of clear tears flowed down his eyes to his cheeks, causing gray marks to appear on his face full of gunsmoke.

"Flutter!"

The Japanese army did not have the slightest mercy or sympathy for those women who were shot but did not die, and the sharp bayonets did not hesitate to pierce their vital points, and they were carrying out a brutal massacre.

These dehumanized Japanese soldiers have now turned into wild beasts, and in their opinion, the city they have worked so hard to conquer is now theirs, and they can enjoy everything and slaughter everything with impunity.

"Kill!"

"Little devil of dog's name! Die! ”

Just as the little devil pulled the blood-stained bayonets out of the women's bodies, a large group of Chinese soldiers roaring like beasts suddenly rushed out of the smoke and dust of the streets.

"The people of China! The people of China! When the Japanese soldiers saw these murderous Chinese soldiers, they hurriedly shouted a warning.

"Dada-Da-"

The Chinese machine gunners who rushed to the front hung the machine guns around their necks, and opened fire as they ran, and the trembling machine guns fired hurricane-like bullets.

"Poof!" The furious machine-gun bullets instantly flew off the steel helmets of the Japanese soldiers, shattering their heads, and they became the best live targets in the streets, constantly wailing and falling, just like the civilians they had just shot.

The bullets swept through everything in a frenzy, gunpowder smoke and blood mist floated in the air, and in just one moment, more than half of the Japanese soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood.

"Retreat! Fall back! Seeing the large number of Chinese soldiers, the Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly screamed and turned around and ran, although they were not afraid of death, it did not mean that they were fools.

Liu Yidao saw the streets full of dead bodies, and roared with red eyes: "Chase Lao Tzu!" Not a single one to stay! ”

Liu Yidao led more than 200 veterans with bayonets to chase the remnants of the fleeing Japanese army, while Yang Ling and the others stayed.

"The little devil is really a beast!"

Seeing the corpses of nearly 100 residents lying in pools of blood, anger filled the chest of each brother, like a surging volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.

Jiao Chaoming was rescued by Yang Ling and them, he knelt beside the dead people, howling and crying: "I'm really useless, I'm useless......"

He watched these civilians being slaughtered by the Japanese army and could not do anything, and his heart was full of self-blame.

Jiao Chaoming was Yang Ling's subordinate when he was on the battlefield in Shanghai, and later served as a squad leader in the guard battalion of the deputy commander of the garrison.

Seeing Jiao Chaoming's sadness and sadness, every brother's heart was uncomfortable, as a soldier, although they didn't know much of the truth, but they saw their own people being slaughtered so unscrupulously, their hearts were also painful, hating those murderous devils.

"Don't cry, we'll take revenge for this blood!" Yang Ling patted Jiao Chaoming's shoulder and comforted him in a deep voice.

Jiao Chaoming wiped away his tears and stood up, although he was full of grief in his heart, he did not forget his task.

"Battalion commander, Commander Tang ordered a retreat......" He told Yang Ling the order to retreat.

Although Yang Ling knew that this day would happen sooner or later, he still had luck and hoped that a miracle would happen, but this day still came after all, and the chiefs still fled.

When Wang Huzi, who was covered in blood, heard Jiao Chaoming's words, he immediately became anxious: "What are you talking about!" Withdrawn! This Nanjing is still in our hands, what are you withdrawing! ”

There are sufficient ammunition and food reserves in the city of Nanjing, although the city wall has been breached, but the troops from all walks of life are still relying on the buildings in the city to resist, and now they will withdraw when they say that they will withdraw, so that Wang Huzi can not accept it for a while.

"This group of dogs is said to be officials, and they are not as good as beasts!"

These brothers who fought bloodily on the battlefield heard that the commander had withdrawn, and they all scolded, and the commander was also running fast in Shanghai, and hundreds of thousands of troops were in chaos, and they were defeated in the morning, and this time the commander ran away again, how could they not be disheartened.

"Battalion commander, hurry up and take the brothers to withdraw, all the troops have started to run, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave at that time." Jiao Chaoming saw that Yang Ling didn't speak for a long time, and urged.

Wang Huzi grabbed Jiao Chaoming's collar and said, "If you withdraw, won't my dead brothers die in vain!?"

Jiao Chaoming also spread his hands, very helpless: "Chief Tang has already withdrawn, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid you will have to explain here, and there will be no chance of revenge."

Yang Ling also came back to his senses, now that all the troops have been withdrawn, their stay here is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, although he wants to repay the country with death and avenge the dead brothers.

But he was a battalion commander, a trusted commander in the midst of all these bullets, and he couldn't push them into the fire pit.

If the commanders were still in Nanjing, then there would still be a glimmer of hope of winning in the street fighting, but as soon as Tang Shengzhi and the others left, this person's heart was scattered, it was not his small battalion commander who could turn the tide, and now what he had to do was not to fight with the devils, but to live with these brothers.

"Except for guns and bullets, everything else is thrown away, ready to evacuate!"

Yang Ling's voice was still calm, reassuring the brethren who were flustered when they heard the evacuation order.

"Have all the surrounding troops received the order to retreat?" Yang Ling pulled Jiao Chaoming aside and asked.

Jiao Chaoming replied: "The commanders of all armies and divisions sent people to notify them separately, and they should have all been notified."

Yang Ling felt that it was not safe, so he called a few brothers who were sharp in their hands and feet to come over and ask them to inform the regimental commander Xie Chengrui, who was still fighting nearby, and the brothers of the 156th Division to retreat together.

The brothers of the guerrilla battalion fought bloodily to defend Nanjing, shedding blood and tears, but at this moment they had to evacuate from Xiaguan in embarrassment, their hearts were full of unwillingness, and they were simply disappointed in those commanders.

Yang Ling is also anxious to rush to Xiaguan now, because he informed the old smoker that they collected the ferry is to arrive at Xiaguan after dark, and if you want to save more people, you have to control the boat first, if the boat is robbed by the rebels, then everything is over.

When Yang Ling and the others hurriedly retreated to Xiaguan, many of the troops who insisted on fighting did not receive the order to retreat, and were still fighting with the Japanese army repeatedly.

"Old Sun, I think the situation is a little wrong." Chen Yiding, deputy commander of the 87th Division, found Sun Tianfang, deputy commander of the 261st Brigade, and said.

Their communication with the division headquarters had been severed, and they had been separated from friendly troops by the Japanese army, and now their eyes were black, and the sound of gunfire was not right.

Deputy Brigade Commander Sun Tianfang also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent several capable scouts across the line of fire to ask the friendly troops about the situation.

Two hours later, the scouts came back to report the news, saying that the 83rd Army of the Guangdong Army had left Taipingmen and headed northeast, and there was no longer a single defender from Zhongshan Gate to Zhonghua Gate......

"Mom, I'm afraid these soft eggs are going to run away," the deputy commander of the 87th Division scolded when he heard the report.

Deputy Brigade Commander Sun Tianfang said with a solemn face: "Then what should we do?" The friendly forces have withdrawn, and there is no cover on the flanks, and there is a danger of being surrounded. ”

Chen Yiding sighed and said: "But we don't have an order to retreat, if we evacuate the position without authorization, who can bear the blame?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were relatively speechless, and their brows were furrowed.

"It's better to call the regiment commanders to discuss it than to sit back and wait for death." Deputy Brigade Commander Sun Tianfang suggested.

"Okay, just do as you say." Chen Yiding did not hesitate and agreed to this proposal.

Soon the commanders of the regiments fighting at the front were in a hurry to the division headquarters, and they also felt the unusual atmosphere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the troops on our flanks have been withdrawn, we have lost contact with the headquarters, and we don't know what the situation is, but if we are tired of staying here, I am afraid that we will be surrounded by Japanese troops, so let's discuss what to do." Chen Yiding did not hesitate to speak out about the current predicament.

The regiment commanders were also all human spirits, and they said in unison: "We listen to Chief Chen, what you say, we will do."

Chen Yiding knew that he was going to be shot if he had withdrawn from the position without authorization, and he dared to bear this responsibility, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let's all discuss and discuss."

"Let's get out." Sun Tianfang spoke at the right time to suggest.

Chen Yiding looked at several regiment leaders and said, "It's okay to withdraw, but all of us here must sign and press our handprints."

The artillery outside rumbled, and the Japanese offensive became more fierce, and several regiment commanders glanced at each other, nodded in agreement, and signed the retreat order one after another.

"Everyone hurry back and prepare, don't bring anything you can't take away, and withdraw to Xiaguan before making a decision."

Several regiment commanders did not dare to hesitate and immediately went back to organize the troops to break through and retreat.
