Under the cover of night, the city of Nanjing was filled with gunsmoke and flames, the dark night sky was illuminated red, and fierce gunfire still resounded in the city, and the scattered troops were still resisting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Shimonoseki River Beach is still crowded, with hundreds of fishing boats and ferries shuttling back and forth in the dark, saving the desperate residents, but there are too many of them, and thousands of people are waiting anxiously, their mood becoming more and more agitated as time goes on.

Many people really couldn't wait, holding wood, planks, and everything that could float into the water to try to find a way to live, but the cold and biting river soon froze people and froze to death in the river, and the dense corpses were soaked in the water, and there were countless souls.

The 51st Division of the 74th Army had a small ferry left in advance and transported about 5,000 officers and men to escape after an emergency rush in the middle of the night.

Although there are many boats shuttling on the river, most of them are fishing boats that can carry a small number of people, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians trapped in the city.

"Chop bamboo! Raft up! ”

Yang Ling had to think of another way, ordered all the bamboo forests near the river beach to be cut down, set up a bamboo raft on the spot, and thought of all possible ways to cross the river.

In addition to ordering the bamboo raft, Yang Ling also sent some eloquent soldiers to shout back and forth in the crowd with loudspeakers to calm their anxious emotions.

When Yang Ling was busy on the Xiaguan River Beach to prevent the soldiers and civilians from crossing the river to break through, in the dilapidated streets and alleys near the Rujiang Gate, Xiao Shanling was leading the police force and the military police to repel the Japanese army's attacks again and again, in order to cover the soldiers and civilians crossing the river.

The city of Nanjing had been broken, and Japanese troops from all walks of life were frantically advancing to seize all the major strategic points and institutions in the city.

The nerves of the Japanese army were irritated by the constant good news from the friendly neighboring troops, and they had no scruples about it, and the defense of this huge city of Nanjing had been broken by their guns and bayonets.

All they need now is to reap the fruits of victory, and the troops that have entered the city are killing and looting like crazy, and countless terrible tragedies are being staged in this city under the cover of darkness.

A small group of Japanese troops lost their way in the cobweb-like streets of the city, and they did not have the slightest fear in this situation, because in their hearts, the Chinese army had been repelled by their great combat power, and they had nothing to fear.

Instead of contacting the friendly troops, they drove straight into the city with a small detachment of troops, and when they jumped on the main road of the city and saw the dense crowd of fleeing people, they stood still with bayonets.

There were thousands of people fleeing in this large crowd, and there were only forty or fifty Japanese soldiers in this group of lost soldiers, when the fleeing people saw the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the darkness.

Seeing their short bodies, hideous and ugly faces, and bloody bayonets, the crowd froze for a few seconds, and then suddenly let out a terrible scream, as if they had seen a hell, and thousands of people turned and ran away in fright.

When this Japanese squad leader saw that these thousands of Chinese had fled, a bold idea arose in his heart and became vicious: "Pursuit!"

"Yikes!" The red-eyed Japanese soldiers also howled like wild beasts, and chased after them while shooting.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers chased thousands of people through the streets, like wolves driving sheep, unscrupulous.

The whistling bullets sank into the bodies of the fleeing people, and people continued to fall down from bullets, and more and more people fell to the ground, and the streets were dyed blood-red.

These screaming Japanese soldiers were like ghosts in the night, they laughed hideously, killed, beat people to death, and stabbed them to death with bayonets.

It was not until they were so tired that they could not run anymore that they stopped killing, and the whole street was already full of dead bodies, piled up in a thick layer, and the ditches on both sides of the street were stained red.

Numerous Japanese squads rampage through the city, many of the scattered troops who had no time to retreat were surrounded, and in a small charred building, dozens of Chinese soldiers were surrounded by a large force of Japanese troops.

Under the fierce fighting, these dozens of Chinese soldiers had already run out of guns and bullets, and their faces were full of despair as they looked at the small buildings surrounded by the Japanese army like iron barrels.

"Surrender! Do not resist pointlessly, your rulers have forsaken you! Drop your weapon! Not only can you avoid death, but there is also a hot meal waiting for you here-"

A traitor hid behind a sandbag and shouted at the surrounded Chinese soldiers with a loudspeaker.

The Japanese troops were brave and good at fighting, but in the face of the countless streets and alleys in the city and the resisting Chinese army, they had a headache and were unwilling to expend their forces in this meaningless street battle, so they let the traitors shout and strive to eliminate the other party without casualties.

These besieged Chinese soldiers had been fighting bloody battles on their positions for several days, and they had not touched a drop of rice for a day, and they were so hungry that they were now in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and aid.

"The traitor of the dog! Come to a sticky end! ”

Some of the soldiers cursed loudly, if there were still bullets, they would definitely shoot the traitor first.

The Chinese soldiers, a scorched lieutenant colonel staff officer, looked at the ragged, exhausted group of brothers with tears in his eyes.

"Lay down your arms! You can avoid death! If we continue to resist, no one will survive! The traitor continued to shout

He took a deep breath and said to the soldiers, "Brothers, lay down your guns and surrender."

"Sir!" These brothers looked at their beloved commander in disbelief with red eyes: "We will not surrender even to death!"

The staff officer was furious: "We are already out of bullets!" There are no more reinforcements! If we all die here, what will happen to our wives and children? Who avenges the dead brothers? ”

"But we can't surrender, we still have bayonets, let's kill them!" Some brothers cried out.

The staff officer shook his head painfully and said: "If you can't kill it, it will only increase the casualties, brothers, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood, surrender......"

"I order you to lay down your arms and surrender!" Seeing that the soldiers were unmoved, the staff officer roared.

The soldiers looked at their commander, reluctantly threw their weapons outside the building, and walked out empty-handed.

Seeing these bloodstained Chinese soldiers come out, an arrogant smile appeared on the face of the Japanese commander, he was going to destroy the will of the Chinese to resist!

Watching the brothers walk out of the door one by one, the staff officer slowly pulled out his bayonet and stabbed it hard into his lower abdomen, and the blood-stained military uniform was red.

"Sir! Sir! The soldiers who were walking behind saw the suicidal commander and ran over to hug their beloved commander in tears.

One brother looked at the dying staff officer and shouted, "Sir, why can't you think about it?"

The staff officer smiled miserably: "China can have surrendered soldiers, but there are no surrendered officers......" Before the words fell, the staff officer was already out of breath.

"Sir!" The soldiers wept as they watched their beloved commander die.

"Brothers! I'll go first! One of the soldiers suddenly stood up, ran to the window of the small building, shouted and jumped, and followed their commander.

The soldier fell into the rubble with a loud bang and turned into a puddle of flesh, leaving the Japanese commander stunned.

He originally wanted these soldiers to surrender, not only to defeat them from the battlefield, but also to break their will, but he did not expect them to die rather than surrender.

Dozens of Chinese soldiers who had run out of ammunition jumped from the small building one after another, and their unyielding spirit made the Japanese commander angry, and his facial muscles twitched violently.
