There was already a great chaos in the city of Nanjing, and the crowded crowd rushed to the Xiaguan ferry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Elderly people struggling to support themselves in the crowd, babies crying in the arms of women, and businessmen in suits and leather shoes stumbling with suits.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Many of the defeated troops were in a hurry to retreat, shouting and cursing at the crowd of people blocking their way, and even smashed a road with the butts of their guns, and many of the soldiers fired into the sky.

On both sides of the road lay bloodied and dirty wounded soldiers, desperately begging the hurried troops: "Please don't leave us...... Please......"

There were also wounded soldiers who could not walk on the ground, crawling in the direction of Xiaguan, a long blood belt dragged out from behind him, despair and pain enveloped everyone's heart.

The army defending the city was already in chaos, and the car in which Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the garrison, was ridden, was blocked by the surging flow of people, and no matter how the driver honked, the road was already blocked, and the cannon behind him rumbled, but the car was slow and almost crawled on the road.

"Chief Tang, I'm afraid this won't work, let's get out of the car and go." Chief of Staff Zhou Wei looked at the impassable road and had to suggest walking to the Xiaguan Ferry.

Tang Shengzhi was already gray and not the slightest bit angry at the moment, looking at this chaotic Nanjing, his heart was like ashes, and he nodded and agreed to the suggestion of Chief of Staff Zhou Bin.

Under the protection of the armed guards, the officers of the garrison commander's headquarters abandoned their cars, forcibly squeezed a road through the crowd, and it took two hours to reach Rujiangmen.

Although the 36th Division, which was guarding the area, shot and killed people, thousands of people rushed over, and soon they were rushed to pieces, the city gates had been blown open, and the flow of people poured to the river.

Tang Shengzhi and the others, under the escort of the guards, squeezed through the surging crowd and laboriously arrived at the wharf of the coal port, where a young man's ship was parked for the commander's headquarters to prepare for crossing the river.

The river beach was already black and full of people, and the few ferries did not dare to dock on the river, because they did not receive the order to retreat, and the sound of crying, cursing, and crying for help on the riverside resounded, and many people were in a hurry to hold the wooden barrels, and the planks jumped into the river.

This winter in Nanjing is extremely cold, the river water in this cold winter is cold and biting, and the people who jump into the river are gone without a trace of a wave, and those who swim well in the water are also physically exhausted halfway, and their heads have not gone down and never floated up.

"Don't squeeze it! Don't squeeze it! "More and more people flocked to the riverbank, and many people standing at the water's edge were squeezed into the water, like dumplings, and disappeared when they fell.

Machine guns were set up on sandbags near the small steamer at the headquarters of the commander of the coal dock, and soldiers in steel helmets kept firing warning shots at those who tried to get closer, but they still leaned forward.

"Dada-da-"

The soldiers guarding the small steamer opened fire on the rushing people, and the blood splattered, and more than a dozen people were immediately beaten into a sieve, so frightened that the rest did not dare to come any closer.

"Dog officer! Dog officer! Seeing Tang Shengzhi and the others boarding the small steamer under the protection of the guards, the people on the shore scolded loudly, and the faces of Tang Shengzhi and the others turned blue and white for a while.

"Get out of the boat! Let's go! "The high-ranking officials who crowded into the small steamer were worried that the rout on the shore would seize the ship, and hurriedly ordered the ship to be sailed.

"Wait! Wait a minute! ”

Under the protection of the adjutant, Deputy Commander Luo Zhuoying and others struggled to squeeze through the crowd and stumbled over.

The people on the boat hurriedly stretched out their hands and pulled the embarrassed deputy commander Luo Zhuoying and others onto the boat, but the deputy chief of staff Yu Nianci was nowhere to be found.

Tang Shengzhi looked at the burning city of Nanjing, and then looked at the crowd surging on the river beach, he no longer had the heart to wait for a little more, so he ordered the boat to sail, and the boat slowly headed towards Pukou on the opposite bank.

Those ferries that were cruising on the river and did not dare to dock saw that the commanders had fled, and only then did they dare to go to the river to pick up people when they saw the flags on the small steamers.

As soon as the ferry, which could accommodate three or four hundred people, docked, a surging crowd of people rushed over, and no one cared so much about fleeing for their lives, and the soldiers also shot at the people, and blood splashed for a while.

The refugees who couldn't climb the boat picked up the grenades on the ground, pulled the fuse, and with a bang, the flesh and blood flew everywhere, but soon the people behind stepped on the corpses and rushed over, and it was terrible and chaotic.

"Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze it! ”

There were gun-wielding gendarmes screaming and trying to maintain order, but they were soon pushed into the river by the frenzied flow of people, and people fell into the water and splashed, and the bodies floated.

……

When the docks were in chaos at Xiaguan Wharf, in the blazing city of Nanjing, the liaison officer Jiao Chaoming was holding a shell gun in his hand, stumbling through the ruins of Daguang Road, he was looking for Yang Ling and their troops.

"Flower girl! Hahaha! ”

There was creepy laughter from the street, and Jiao Chaoming hurriedly hid in a bombed-out house.

A crowd of fleeing men and women were running through the streets, and behind them was a large group of Japanese soldiers with teeth and claws, laughing wildly and raising their guns to shoot.

From time to time, the men who were running were knocked to the ground by bullets flying from behind them, the women were screaming and running, trying to escape from the clutches, and the men were also running in fear and being shot and killed.

"Men killed! Flower Girl's stay! The hideous Japanese officer brandished his saber and grinned.

The Japanese soldiers who were running and jumping between the ruins also showed fierce expressions on their faces, like cats and mice, with playful expressions, and shot the men among the people.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

A small detachment of Japanese troops suddenly emerged from the rubble, blocking the way of the fleeing civilians, and they were blocked in the street by two groups of Japanese troops.

Jiao Chaoming, the liaison officer hiding in the ruins, saw this scene, and his heart suddenly pwitched, he was only one person, but there were thirty or forty devils, and he didn't dare to go out.

In the face of the Japanese troops blocking on both sides, these panicked people were full of fear in their hearts, looking at the hideous and ugly faces of those Japanese soldiers, the women were as white as paper and their bodies were like chaff.

"We are ordinary people, spare us, spare us." The men did not have the courage to confront the Japanese soldiers who were loaded with guns, so they all knelt down and offered to forgive.

"Haha, China, soft bones." When the Japanese officer saw this, he let out a mocking laugh.

The Japanese soldiers with guns also laughed, and their shrill laughter echoed through the scorched earth streets, like the screams of ghosts, and the listeners were terrified.

"Hand over the woman's and show us the way, and you can spare your life." The Japanese officer commanded in broken Chinese.

The men kowtowed and said, "No, no, it's okay to lead the way, please don't hurt these women."

When the Japanese officer heard this, he immediately became angry and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Bring out the women, and kill the men!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The crisp gunshots rang out, and the men who were still kowtowing were shot on the spot one by one, blood splattered, and the women screamed in fright, hugged each other and cried in fear.

Seeing these women hugging each other, the Japanese soldiers showed lewd light on their faces, which aroused their *** scrambling to pounce and tear their clothes.

Liaison officer Jiao Chaoming saw those women being thrown to the ground, and a monstrous anger rose in his heart, and he couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, raised his shell gun, and shot at those unsuspecting Japanese soldiers.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-" Jiao Chaoming continuously pulled the trigger, and several Japanese soldiers who had just taken off their pants were immediately shot to the ground, blood soaring.

The sudden change made the Japanese army unable to care about those women, and hurriedly went to grab the gun and lie down.

"Run! Come on! Jiao Chaoming shouted at the women as he shot.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" The Japanese officer's face was splashed with blood, and he found that there was only one Chinese soldier in the ruins, grinning angrily.
