Chapter Ninety-Five: Opportunity

Liu Goat's guess was right, there were indeed military vehicles on Zhongshan Road, but it was not the convoy that Tang Cheng imagined, but only a few. Liu Goat, who was standing on the side of the street, looked at the speeding truck like fools, until a large number of national troops appeared behind the truck, and Liu Goat's already stiff face had some expression. The Nationalist troops following the truck looked like they had just withdrawn from the battle, many of them were still bleeding, and the intact ones were just like them in Tang Cheng, their faces were covered in stains and blood.

"Brother, which unit are you from? How's the fight going up ahead? Liu Goat, who was anxious, directly pulled a defeated soldier who walked past him and asked a few words, but except for a white eye, Liu Goat did not get any answer. After asking a few guys one after another, they all had the same reaction, and these people looked at Tang Cheng and the three of them with numb expressions, and their reactions made Liu Goat's heart more and more nervous and uneasy.

With his back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, a veteran soldier like Liu Goat will never let go of the opportunity to return to the 88th Division, but the current situation is very unfavorable to the three of them, if he still insists on staying here and waiting for the 88th Division to retreat from Zhonghua Gate, he may even lose the opportunity to leave Nanjing after the last day. "What the fuck are you doing picking up these things? Do you think you're not running slowly? "Some of the routs passing by here have already begun to throw away their weapons and ammunition, and the nine catties who turned into a groundhog were happily picking up, but they were kicked by Liu Goat.

"Don't pick up the gun, just get some bullets and grenades, follow them all the way, I'm afraid there will be trouble when it's too late." Liu Goat's words were not finished, it was his decision not to leave with the people of the 156th Division in the morning, and now Liu Goat was suddenly a little embarrassed to face Tang Cheng and Jiujin. According to Liu Goat's orders, Jiujin threw away most of the many rags, leaving only two Mauser rifles and more than 100 rifle bullets, and Tang Cheng still carried his flower mechanism, and Liu Goat, who replaced it with a Mauser rifle, also gave Tang Cheng his three flower machine magazines.

There was no need to ask at all, Liu Shanyang knew that these routs were going to Rujiangmen, and the three of them moved all the way to Rujiangmen in the rout, and the closer they got to the direction of Rujiangmen, the more routs and refugees appeared in their sight. Tang Cheng's brain will be a little insufficient, they and the people of the 156th Division fought with the Japanese army for a day and a night not far from Zhongshan Road, but they didn't meet a few Nanjing citizens, but there were so many refugees in this meeting, I really don't know how these people escaped the siege of the Japanese soldiers.

"Cats have cats, road mice, and rat roads, these Nanjing people are familiar with the roads here as well as their own kangs, and they can touch the Rujiang Gate when they close their eyes, and people have the heart to avoid us, how can we be found by you." Xu saw the confusion on Tang Cheng's face, and Liu Goat, who was walking beside him, laughed in a low voice. This kind of thing, the second company in Shanghai when fighting with the Japanese army had encountered many times, and when the Japanese army was fighting, not a single common man could not see it, as long as the gunfire stopped, the people of Shanghai would come out, which was so strange that everyone could not figure it out.

Getting closer and closer to the Rujiang Gate, Tang Cheng twisted his neck and looked left and right, the rout soldiers on his side looked at the scale of more than 500 people, plus the citizens of Nanjing who were not gathered, and the crowd of people in Wuyang looked like there were thousands of people. "It's almost time to get to Rujiangmen, let's go to the side, don't squeeze into the middle, you won't be able to get out if you go in." Earlier, he had already learned a stampede under the Rujiang Gate, and Liu Goat's heart was still a little palpitating, so when he was still 20 minutes away from the Rujiang Gate, Liu Goat took Tang Cheng and Jiujin to the flank of the crowd and marched forward against the street.

"Well, how many people have to be here." Seeing the city gate tower of Rujiang Gate from afar, Jiujin, who was in a trance, was stunned by the crowd of people in front of him. Compared with the crowd in front of them, the stampede crowd that Liu Goat and they had experienced was nothing at all, and at this moment, there were at least thousands of people crowded under the Rujiang Gate, and the noisy sound made Tang Cheng's ears tormented. Holding on to a wall, the strong Jiujin made a pedestal, and Liu Goat held Tang Cheng's hand and stood on the shoulder of Jiujin.

The high line of sight of the station is naturally clearer, and the trucks that galloped past before were also stopped by the troops guarding the Rujiang Gate at this moment, as if there was a dispute between the two sides, and it seemed that the 36th Division guarding the city gate did not intend to let those trucks out of the city. "Go, follow me, don't dare to get separated." Jumping down from Jiujin's shoulder, Liu Goat took the Mauser rifle in his hand and smashed it towards the crowd blocking in front of him like a stick, Tang Cheng seemed to understand a little, and then pulled Jiujin and followed closely behind Liu Goat and squeezed into the crowd.

The guys who were hit by the butt of the rifle screamed and dodged one after another, and the fierce guy also raised the butt of the rifle and wanted to smash it back, but when they were hit by the flower trap in Tang Cheng's hand, the anger and unwillingness on their faces could only turn into deep grievances. Tang Cheng didn't look very old, but the murderous aura in his eyes couldn't be compared to ordinary veterans, and fighting to the death with such a person meant fighting for his life, he had come all the way here, and no one would be willing to lose his life because of a trivial matter.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." After walking more than ten meters, the strong Jiujin replaced Liu Goat with a rifle in front of him, relying on his strength, Jiujin could squeeze out a passage without waving the butt of the gun, which made Tang Cheng no longer have to use the gun to top people's heads and chests. "Tell Jiujin, get as close to those trucks as possible, and follow them out of the city in a while." The bold and careful Liu Goat already had a plan in his heart, and whispered to Tang Cheng all the way.

The city of Nanjing will be under siege by the Japanese army, and at this time, in addition to high-ranking officials and authorities, the trucks sent outside the city may be a heavy amount of wounded soldiers or some kind of scarce supplies. Liu Goat naturally knows very well about the set of things in the army, he doesn't believe that these guys driving trucks don't have any support, and he doesn't believe that these guys in the 36th Division really dare to block these trucks and prevent them from leaving the city, so it is the best way to follow those trucks out of the city.

Tang Cheng, who struggled to move forward in the crowd, the three of them were like a small boat in the ocean, and they could be submerged by the ocean at any time, and with Liu Goat and their advance, there were already other clear-eyed people who were also playing the same idea, and these people were all soldiers with weapons in their hands without exception. As people with the same purpose began to mobilize, the already chaotic crowd immediately became even more chaotic, those who were smashed by the butt of the gun scolded loudly regardless of the pain in their bodies, and some of the people who were smashed and bleeding even cried and wiped their tears, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time under the Rujiang Gate instantly exploded.

"We want to go out of the city, why don't we go out of the city, open the door, we want to go out." Little by little, the shouting crowd approached the defenders' blockade, and the leaders were none other than the agitated routs. The people of the 36th Division, who were arguing with the people on the trucks, couldn't care about that much, and directly set up the machine guns on the sandbag fortifications, and a row of black holes pointed directly at the crowd near the city gate, but the trucks were parked on the side of the city gate in a hurry.

"Hurry up, it's going to be messy in a while." The experienced Liu Goat squeezed to the front to replace the exhausted Jiujin, and continued to move towards the trucks with Tang Cheng and Jiujin. Some of the defeated soldiers in the front row of the crowd had already formed a phalanx hand in hand, approaching the Rujiang Gate step by step, and the defeated soldiers walking behind them also raised their weapons and aimed at the soldiers guarding the city gate. The troops of the 36th Division guarding Rujiangmen were only a battalion of a few hundred people, and the rout troops who were intercepted here were more than 1,000 people.

The crowd of people who were in a hurry to get out of the city were crowded to the front and the middle, and the closer they got to the side, the smoother they were, and the sweaty Liu goat finally squeezed to the side of the other end of the crowd with Tang Cheng and Jiujin, and their position was only a dozen meters away from the trucks. "Da Da Da" Just when Liu Goat was secretly rejoicing, the gunshots suddenly rang out, followed by several shouts, "There is an order from above, Rujiang Gate will be closed immediately, no one can pass, you go further, Lao Tzu will give the order to shoot." ”

The crowd of people moving slowly forward seemed to have stopped, but Liu Goat and they didn't care about this, they just squeezed towards the position of the trucks, fortunately, there were not many people here at the edge, and they were really squeezed by Liu Goat. "Stand back, give Lao Tzu back down." There were a lot of people who were as thoughtful as Liu Goat, and more than a dozen refugee-looking men also squeezed over, but when they were a few meters away from the trucks, they were stopped by several soldiers who jumped out of the trucks with guns.

"Fucking back up, lean back again, Lao Tzu will shoot." The sweaty Liu goat suddenly seemed to be a different person, and like the soldiers who jumped down from the truck, he pointed his gun at the refugees who followed him, and one of the guys who was hit by his companion and leaned up was also kicked by Liu Goat. Tang Cheng, who understood it, naturally didn't look stupidly, and handed over the flower machine in his hand to Jiujin to hold, but he took out the two shell guns on his body and held them flat. Ordinary people may not know the power of the Ludao Flower Mechanism, but they all know the power of the Ludao Barge Gun, and in the face of the muzzle of the black hole, the refugees who were pointed at it by Tang Cheng chose to retreat one after another.

The soldiers of the national army who got down from the truck didn't know what kind of way Liu goat came from, and Liu goat didn't go up to talk, but just raised his gun with Tang Cheng and ordered the refugees and routs who came up to retreat. The three of them were already in a series of firefights with the Japanese army, and the smell of blood on their bodies was naturally very heavy, coupled with the Japanese command knife on the backs of Liu Goat and Tang Cheng, the refugees and routs who wanted to come up were bluffed, and none of them wanted to clash with such a guy.
