Section 2 Shaki (2)
Instead of walking with the sisters of the factory, Ah Ying was with Ah Shui, and they set the wedding date for July 1 to celebrate with the party's students. Although the money was not much, they believed that with the development of the revolution, their life would get better and better.
Director Zhou and some classmates from the Whampoa Military Academy walked in the front, out of safety considerations, Jiang Xianyun, who was responsible for maintaining order, once asked him not to participate or walk behind, but Director Zhou refused, so Jiang Xianyun arranged for Cao Shiquan to take a few people to his side in order to protect his safety.
The procession passed through Xihaokou to reach Shaji, the opposite bank of Shaji is the Shamian Concession, standing on the riverside you can clearly see the gate of the Victoria Hotel in the concession, the two bridges connecting Shamian and Shaji have been closed, the concession police and the British army have built fortifications on the opposite side of the bridge, vigilantly watching the procession passing by the opposite bridge.
The British soldiers on the roof of the Victoria Hotel condescended to look at the crowd on the other side, holding banners, holding small flags, and chanting slogans, but the soldiers were not very nervous because they had no attempt to cross the bridge. But just when they thought it was over, an order came in their ears.

The soldiers instinctively grabbed their weapons and aimed at the shore.
βfireοΌβ
More than a dozen flames erupted from the roof of the Victoria Hotel, and crisp gunfire rang out on the banks of the river and at the bridgehead. The crowd on the other side fell in an instant, and the crowd immediately scattered like frightened birds.
The frightened people instinctively fled to the back, but there were too many people marching, and the people behind did not know what was happening in front of them, but they continued to walk forward, and the people in front turned to run, and both sides immediately became congested in the middle of the street.
The chaotic crowd separated Ah Ying and Ah Shui, Ah Shui desperately shouted Ah Ying's name in the crowd, he was so anxious that he didn't care about the bullets fired from the opposite side, and squeezed in the direction of Ah Ying. In a panic, A-Ying remembered what the instructor told them when they were trained before the Eastern Expedition that they should lie down immediately when they heard the gunshot, and she lay on the ground, frightened. The two of them fell next to her, blood flowed from their bodies, and the dust stream quickly approached Ah Ying, the strong smell made her almost vomit, and then she heard Ah Shui's scream, and she looked up to see Ah Shui nervously looking for him.
"I'm here, Ah Shui, I'm here." Ah Ying shouted, but Ah Shui didn't hear her cry in the confusion, she got up from the ground and ran towards Ah Shui. She saw Ah Shui and saw her, and Ah Shui was running towards her. A hot thing burrowed into her body, and she continued to run forward two steps, and as soon as her feet were soft and she was about to fall, Ah Shui hugged her.
"Ah Shui, I'm a little ......."
Beautiful eyes staring blankly at the pure sky.
"A-Ying!"
Ah Shui was about to go crazy, he picked up Ah Ying and turned around and ran, two bullets caught up with him, his feet were weak, he knelt on the ground, and his hands were still holding Ah Ying.
"Ah Ying ,...γ"
The blood that came out of his mouth dripped down his jaw and onto Ah Ying's shoulder.
There are seven days left, seven days, and life ends seven days before happiness comes.
The June sun looked indifferently at the sins of the earth.
The massacres continued.
"Down with imperialism!" A young student angrily rushed to the river and shook his fist at the opposite bank. Soon he was knocked down by bullets from the other side, and the blood stained the Pearl River red.
Maybe it was God's will, the first wave of bullets hit Cao Shiquan beside Director Zhou, and Director Zhou immediately lay down. He then quickly turned into the side alley. Hiding in the alley, he looked at the chaotic crowd and anxiously shouted to the crowd: "Get down!" Get down! Get down! The guards around him also shouted at him anxiously: "Hurry up, it's too dangerous here!" Come on! β
"Crowd! Hurry up. Director Zhou anxiously pointed to the crowd on the street: "You shout with me." β
"There's no time, the enemy's warships are about to open fire, it's too dangerous here, Director Zhou, you retreat quickly." I'll go. Wen Qidai rushed over and shouted to Director Zhou: "You take Director Zhou away." β
After speaking, Wen Qidai rushed out of the alley and rushed towards the crowd. The guards picked up Director Zhou and ran to the back street.
Wen Qidai ran to the side of the street, hid behind a pillar, and shouted to the crowd running around the street: "Get down, get down!" β
A student stood on the street in a daze, and Wen Qidai rushed out from behind the pillar, pounced on the student, and pushed him to the ground, and when he got up again, two bullets hit his vest.
When the gunshots rang out, Jiang Xianyun was behind the team, he heard the gunshots, quickly led the troops forward, and evacuated the crowd as he went, and when he rushed to the bank of the Shaji River, the embankment along the river was already covered with corpses and rivers of blood.
The angry soldier raised his gun and was about to shoot at the opposite side, Jiang Xianyun hurriedly ordered: "Don't shoot, don't shoot." β
The bullets on the other side were still raging wildly, not hitting the soldiers' hidden wooden posts, making a popping sound.
"Battalion commander, what should I do?" The soldiers asked Jiang Xianyun loudly.
"Hide, don't shoot." Jiang Xianyun said resolutely.
"Fuck you, shoot back!"
Jiang Xianyun turned his head suddenly, but it was Zhuang Jihua who was scolding with red eyes.
When Zhuang Jihua heard the gunshots, he judged that it was coming from the direction of Shaji, and he immediately realized that it was the British troops in the Shamian Concession who fired at the procession. His brain immediately buzzed, and he shot at the parade, how many people were there, hundreds of thousands, how many people were going to die? He couldn't have imagined that kind of scene.
In a hurry, he rushed out of the private room, only having time to shout: "Follow me." Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu rushed out of the room next to them and followed him in the direction of Shaji. The task of the two of them was to entertain Yu Peidi's adjutant and guards in the adjacent room.
To Zhuang Jihua's surprise, Yu Peidi also followed him to Shaji, looking at the crowd falling on the riverbank street, Zhuang Jihua's eyes were red. This is a massacre, a massacre of unarmed civilians, a blatant massacre, a wanton massacre. The bloody facts made Zhuang Jihua abandon the slightest illusion about the West; The education of the past life, the reality of this life, the extreme contradictions.
Zhuang Jihua looked at Yu Peidi behind him, he pointed to the bloody street and shouted: "Look at it, how they killed us, why do they dare to carry out such massacres again and again." Why dare you be so unscrupulous! β
Zhuang Jihua stared at Yu Peidi fiercely: "Without a country, who will protect the people?" There is no country, this is the answer given to us by foreigners. β
"Do you still think that it is not necessary to reorganize the army? How many more times are you going to let this happen again for your little benefit? β
Blood, staining the streets; Bullets, still raging; The Pearl River is still flowing quietly, but the little persistence in his heart has collapsed.
At this time, Zhuang Jihua heard Jiang Xianyun's order, he couldn't help but be furious, and scolded when he opened his mouth.
Jiang Xianyun saw that it was Zhuang Jihua, and he didn't hurry to think about why he came here. Taking advantage of the interval between the enemy's shooting, he rushed to Zhuang Jihua's side.
"Don't be reckless." Jiang Xianyun said to Zhuang Jihua.
"Reckless? We are soldiers, and it is our shame not to be able to defend the people. Zhuang Jihua roared at Jiang Xianyun.
"Cultural Revolution," Jiang Xianyun was anxious, and shouted loudly: "You know, there are more than a dozen foreign [***] ships parked in Baietan, and if we do a dozen, we will provide them with excuses." β
"Fart, do they need an excuse? Look at it," Zhuang Jihua pointed to the corpse on the street: "When did they make excuses?" β
"No, Cultural Revolution, calm down, there are millions of people in Guangzhou. If the enemy shells, more people will die. Jiang Xianyun said anxiously.
"I'll take care of it, and it has nothing to do with you." Zhuang Jihua said resolutely.
"You, can you afford it? You're brute. Jiang Xianyun also said very resolutely.
"My rank is lieutenant colonel, you are only a major, you must obey my command." Zhuang Jihua roared angrily.
"No, I am the battalion commander of a regiment, you are the head of the intelligence section, and if you want to command me, you must obtain the consent of your superiors." Jiang Xianyun did not budge.
"Now I can't find a superior, and in the absence of the superior according to the regulations, the highest rank is the commander." Zhuang Jihua insisted that Jiang Xianyun listen to him.
Jiang Xianyun had no choice now, and when he saw Yu Peidi in a blink of an eye, he immediately said: "The highest military rank here is Senior Commander Yu, he is a lieutenant general, and we should obey his command." β
"His military rank was given by the Beiyang Political Axe, and we haven't recognized it yet, so the highest military rank here is still me, and you must obey my command." Zhuang Jihua's reaction was also very fast.
Yu Peidi watched the two arguing, and he once again felt that the group of young people at the Whampoa Military Academy were excellent, the former could quickly analyze the general situation and resolutely hold back; Otherwise, they insist on fighting back. What's even more powerful is that the two of them are fighting for command, but it is not my troops, your troops, but according to the rules and regulations of the army.
"Cultural Revolution, I think, Comrade Major is right, if we want to return fire on the enemy's warships, we will definitely open fire, and our losses will be even greater." Yu Peidi persuaded Zhuang Jihua, and he also thought that Zhuang Jihua was blinded by blood.
"I know, that's why I have to shoot back," Zhuang Jihua replied impatiently to Yu Peidi, and said to Jiang Xianyun in a stern tone: "Major Jiang Xianyun, according to the regulations, if you do not obey the order, I have the right to remove your command, you answer me immediately, whether you carry out the order." β
Jiang Xianyun looked at Zhuang Jihua, and after thinking about it, he said with a resolute expression: "I can't carry out this order." β
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Jihua shouted: "Yunfei, he robbed." β
