Chapter 73: A Busy Night
"Hands up!" Huang Huamin and the others were sighing at the scenery on the other side of the city, and someone shouted not far away. But he didn't know that the soldiers of the third battalion who were guarding around him had already pointed their guns at him.
"What part are you from?" The man shouted.
"The 88th Division guarding the Zhonghua Gate!" Lu Shiming replied. At this time, he didn't mention the vanguard army, in case the other side didn't know who the vanguard army was, it would be another trouble.
"Huh?" The man was startled for a moment, then fell silent. Not long after, a major of the Central Army came over with a dozen soldiers hanging their weapons.
"Are you, Lu Shiming Lu Staff Officer?" The major looked Lu Shiming up and down a few times, and suddenly spoke.
"He Mingyang?" Lu Shiming's memory is good, and he immediately recognized this junior of the Central Military Academy.
"How did you get here?" He Mingyang asked in surprise.
Lu Shiming looked at the dozen or so soldiers behind him, didn't say much, just asked back, "This is the Purple Mountain?" "The person in charge of guarding this secret passage was arranged by Lu Shiming, and he naturally explored it and went straight to the Purple Mountain.
He Mingyang realized that he seemed to have something to say, turned around to look, and nodded.
"We got here through the secret passage that leads directly to here through Nanjing City!" Lu Shiming no longer hid it, and said directly.
"Secret passage?" He Mingyang was surprised, and looked at the area surrounded by a bunch of soldiers behind them.
"How many commanders of your teaching corps have?" Lu Shiming nodded and continued to ask.
"After a meeting of several of their regiment leaders tonight, they have already rushed out with people overnight!"
"Rushing out? What about you? Huang Huamin next to him interjected.
"We, responsible for the aftermath!" He Mingyang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lu Shiming, and then said categorically.
Huang Huamin and the others followed He Mingyang's gaze, and the sound of gunfire seemed to be a little far away. I'm afraid that they are a little out of touch with the main force.
"How many of you are left?" Lu Shiming asked.
"Three hundred! Other regiments also had ones behind, adding up to a little more. ”
"Come with us!" Huang Huamin said categorically, leaving them behind is tantamount to death.
Whether it is Lu Shiming or the third battalion, the exploration of the secret passage also ends here. Time is urgent, and whether it is urgent to move along the secret passage in the unknown direction, or pass through the blockade of the devils, is also a new choice.
"Send someone to investigate, it's okay to wait a little longer, the little devil is busy going to Nanjing City!" Lu Shiming suggested that although the tunnel was unknown, it was less risky than breaking through the devil's tight blockade.
"It's good! Wait a little longer, the emptier my rear will be! Huang Huamin was a little conflicted in his heart, that is, he wanted to fight with him, and he wanted to keep more vitality for the future accounting.
In order to pass through the secret passage, according to Meng Xiang's order, the heavy weapons of the third battalion were not brought, even the heavy machine guns were only partially brought, and the others were directly destroyed on the spot, which made him feel distressed. Even now, with the nearly 2,000 remnants of the army gathered on the Purple Mountain, the total number is only 6,000. Without the support of heavy weapons, breaking through the blockade would certainly be costly.
While their people were resting in the Purple Mountain and waiting for the results of the secret passage search, the fortress cannon on Oolong Mountain had already begun to roar.
"It's a pity that I didn't hit again!" Kong Ci sighed with a smoky face. The fortress cannon was inferior to the missiles of later generations, and its accuracy was also limited. Its role is mainly deterrence, and once it hits, small and medium-sized ships on the river are generally either injured or sunk. Battleships and large cruisers generally do not come to the river, and even if his destroyer is a big man, he still does not dare to easily resist in the face of the threat of fortress artillery.
His ship was a little wandering for a while, and only some small patrol boats rushed over at the risk of death.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a patrol boat was overturned by the river waves, and the soldiers who fell into the water rescued four or five, and there was not much chance of survival under the cold river at night.
"Damn!" Akishu Tanaka shouted angrily. Some soldiers of the 16th Division took ships and wanted to go straight to Xiaguan to block the withdrawal of the Central Army, but they didn't want to be blocked here. Ships laden with soldiers did not dare to risk rushing over, and if they were hit, the losses would be great.
"Stay for a day, we just need to keep watch for a day, tomorrow night, no, it should be tonight, we can evacuate!" Kong Ci looked at his pocket watch, which had passed midnight, and kept using the words that the rat had said to him to motivate his soldiers. With the exact time to evacuate, there is hope of survival, and morale can also be boosted.
"Retreat too slowly!" Xiaoshanling is not as optimistic as some people. It may not be able to hold on here at dawn, but how many people can be transported overnight?
"You can go to Jiangxinzhou first, and organize people there to defend across the river for the time being!" Li Ting couldn't help but suggest, although he didn't know anything about military affairs, but when he saw Meng Xiang arranging people over there, it was better for his heart to settle down temporarily than here!
"It's said that Kou's ships are more powerful, and it would be better if it was a wider Bagua Continent! Jiang Xinzhou can't hold it! It's hard to say for a day or two! Xiao Shanling, who was beside him, explained with a wry smile.
"We have to evacuate the people again! If you run to the countryside, you can also avoid the edge of the Kou! Xiao Shanling shook his head and said.
On a simple pier on Jiangxinzhou, a large boat approached and was about to evacuate the people who had gathered here earlier.
"When you come back, go straight here. The guests from the city are here again! Ma Seventeen hurried over to preach the message. As soon as he said it, the dragon five in the bow knew what it meant.
"Yes!" Long Wu responded with a neat military salute.
"It's a pity for those antiques!" One eye walks with regret. Although there is no gold in the secret room, a pile of antiques is also priceless. The clones didn't know any antiques in their eyes, and their target was the plate that Meng Xiang had confessed. After the plate was found, none of the antiques that got in the way were taken, which made the well-informed eye even cry out a pity.
Antiques in troubled times are a kind of sorrow, and people's lives are not guaranteed, and these can be taken care of there.
"Let's go!" Captain Hu Si shouted that they had other tasks that had to be arranged early.
"Bring my lab equipment! This is what we just bought from the UK, the latest in the world! If you don't take it with you, I won't either! Physics professor Xie Changchun hugged a large instrument and refused to let go.
"We have better instruments in our research center! Better than this! "The model who took the initiative to take on the task of persuading people from various schools came to persuade. This is what he heard Zhao Shuxing say. No matter how much Professor Xie persuades, he will not let go, and at this time, he can only use this method to try.
"Impossible! The British said that this is already the best in the world! Xie Changchun shook his head vigorously.
"That's they are lying to you! If you don't believe it, go see the competition! Fan Chong was already using what he considered to be the most hypocritical tone.
"Impossible! Then you carry this over, and we will compare! "This kind of nerd only thinks one thing.
Niu Yi didn't say a word, stepped forward and threw up a hammer and smashed it directly. Xie Changchun, whose palms were numb from the shock, rolled his eyelids and fainted when he saw this.
"Carry away! Find the next one! Niu Yi shouted.
"That's fine!" Fan Chong shook his head slightly, his nerdy spirit is not much worse than this Xie nerd!
In the deep darkness of the night, the busyness continues.
(Nanjing's is ending, and the plot needs to be straightened out.) )
