Chapter Seventy-Seven: Getting Out of the City Is Blocked

Nanjing Rujiang Gate is located in the north of the stone city on the bank of the Yangtze River, connected with the beautiful scenery of Lion Rock and Bazi Mountain, Rujiangmen originally had only one city gate hole, the old name was Hailing, in 1929, in order to make the coffin of the father of the country Sun Yat-sen smoothly enter the city and send it to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it was able to expand into a three-hole door hole, and changed its name to Rujiangmen. Tang Cheng and the Sichuan army boy only figured out the direction after dawn and followed a group of Nanjing people to the Rujiang Gate, but at this time, the Rujiang Gate was already crowded with people who were eager to get out of the city, and Tang Cheng couldn't even see the city gate.

Maybe it was the smell of blood on Tang Cheng's body and the shell gun in his hand that worked, it took Mo Yue half an hour, Tang Cheng took the Sichuan army boy to squeeze to the front of the crowd, and through a thin row of routs, Tang Cheng finally saw the city gate hole of Rujiang Gate, but unfortunately they were now blocked by sandbags and wooden horses.

"I said, it's not impossible to get out of the city, take the warrant above, if you have a warrant, you will go out of the city, and if you don't have a warrant, you will stay in the city obediently, these machine guns behind Lao Tzu are not decorations." A stocky officer confronted the crowd of routs, three machine guns set up in the fortifications behind him.

Tang Cheng's eyes swept left and right, and they were a little disappointed that they didn't find Liu Goat, but at this time, he couldn't take care of that much, at least he had to send the little tail next to him out of the corner first. "I have a warrant, I have it." Tang Cheng was thinking about countermeasures, the crowd around him was already in turmoil, a fat man dressed as a white and fat rich man pulled a woman wearing a cheongsam to squeeze to the front, "I have a warrant to go out of the city" After the white fat man squeezed out of the crowd, he didn't even bother to wipe his sweat, so he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the short officer.

"Let them out of the city" I don't know what is in the cloth bag in Lu Dao, anyway, the white fat man and the cheongsam woman were released out of the city, Tang Cheng suddenly realized, it turned out that this Rujiang Gate was not completely sealed, although the side gate was blocked with sandbags, but there was enough passage for one person to pass through. Like Tang Cheng, there were not one or two people who were curious about the small cloth bag, and soon someone was shouting that the cloth bag was not a warrant to go out of the city, but gold bars, and the white fat man just now bought the opportunity to go out of the city with gold bars.

"Lao Tzu just took the gold bar, what do you want?" The short officer immediately changed his face, pulled out the barge gun on his waist and put it against the head of a rout who shouted the loudest, and looked around with murderous intent, and the people he saw lowered their heads one after another, there are still three machine guns behind this guy, and it is not okay not to be soft. "Lao Tzu also told you clearly, a small yellow croaker for a chance to go out of the city, if you don't have money, you will stay in the city honestly, when will you have an order, when will you go out of the city."

The stout officer shouted arrogantly, and seeing that there seemed to be some people in the crowd who were still unconvinced, he sneered and pointed at the purple and black patches on the ground with the shell gun in his hand and shouted, "This was left last night, a group of soldiers and ruffians did not listen to persuasion, and had to break through with guns, and as a result, these brothers under my command were all given machine guns to a sudden attack, and more than 100 people were only a blink of an eye. The killing intent in the short officer's words was enough to make ordinary people tremble, but the defeated soldiers standing in the front row did not eat him.

"Don't do anything wrong with your 36th Division, you must know that the mountains and rivers of the Lu Dao take turns." A guy with the same rank of captain and the short officer looked at each other angrily, "There will be fighting after this battle, we are not from the same unit, your 36th Division can do this today, but in the future, when your 36th Division is bitten by the little devils, I don't think that other troops will rush to save you, and you are helping yourself by staying on the front line." The bloodied captain tried to convince the stout officer, but was spat on by the other party.

"Damn, what kind of big truth do you want to tell Lao Tzu here, Lao Tzu is a little company commander, I don't know what else to do, if you have an order, you will go out of the city, if not, let Lao Tzu stay in the city, don't even think about anything else." Seeing that the captain who had been spat on by himself had a gloomy face, the stout officer immediately took a few steps back and avoided the sandbag fortifications behind him, "Go forward again, Lao Tzu will give the order to shoot, I don't believe you try." ”

"I don't believe that you dare to shoot, brothers, let's go out of the city." The steel-helmeted captain stretched out his hand to wipe the saliva from his face, and was the first to step forward, standing in the front row of the crowd among the routs hula and following dozens of people, some of whom had even flattened their rifles in their hands. Bad thing, Tang Cheng really saw it, the machine gunner behind the sandbag had been loaded with the machine gun in his hand, if he didn't know if this was really going to shoot, pulling the unknown Sichuan army boy, Tang Cheng struggled to squeeze towards the flank of the crowd, not too far back and not too far forward, going to the flank was the most suitable position.

The frantic actions of the routs made the noisy Rujiangmen eerie silence fell, and many eyes were focused on the dozens of rout soldiers who stepped forward. Walking forward only a few meters, these routs consciously lined up in a horizontal formation, especially the gunsmoke and blood stains on their bodies made their momentum disperse to the maximum, and the short and stout officers who were supposed to scare people were a little difficult to ride a tiger at the moment. Tang Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to this, he just dragged the Sichuan army kid to struggle hard in the crowd, and before the machine gun fired, he must squeeze out the flanks of the crowd.

"Open the gates and let us get out," Captain Helmet listened as he stepped forward a few meters, looking at the stocky officer with a calm face.

"How fucking old are you, it's still the old saying, take out the warrant from the city, if you have a warrant, you will leave the city, and if you don't, you will stay in the city, Lao Tzu only recognizes the warrant." Seeing that the rout soldiers who had come forward stopped, a flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the stout officer, and he felt that these guys were just bluffing, and the courage that was already about to be scared away made the stout officer arrogant again. "Lao Tzu also told you clearly that you can get out of the city without a warrant and money, and a yellow croaker can be exchanged for a chance to go out of the city."

Seeing that the other party still didn't change his words and wouldn't let go, the steel helmet captain was obviously anxious, and immediately raised the shell gun he was carrying in his hand, "Say, do you want to give way?" The muzzle of the black hole made the stout officer a little flustered, thinking of the soldiers and machine guns behind him, the stout officer instantly regained his confidence, and shook his head gently at the steel helmet captain who raised his pistol.

The sound of a "pop" gunfire plunged the noisy Rujiangmen into a dead silence, and Tang Cheng in the crowd froze slightly, and then pulled the Sichuan army boy to squeeze desperately towards the flank of the crowd. "Hurry up, you'll be in trouble in a while." As soon as Tang Cheng's words fell, there was already a dense gunfire of "da" in his ears, and Tang Cheng, who didn't dare to look up at all, pushed the Sichuan army kid to roll and crawl behind a car that overturned on its side, and the two of them huddled together.

"Shot, killed, run." The dead silence in front of the city gate lasted only a few seconds, and after a few seconds, a tsunami of cries was heard, and the crowd of people who were crowded at the city gate scattered like nests. The car they were hiding in Tang Cheng had also become the first choice for some well-intentioned people, but when they saw clearly the double guns in Tang Cheng's hands, these people could only give up the idea of hiding behind the car and drift all the way to the distance along the crowd.

"Tang Cheng, where the hell did you go?" drove away several waves of refugees and routs who wanted to hide behind the car, Tang Cheng finally heard a voice that was enough to make him tearful, it was Liu Goat, who was struggling to pull nine catties in the crowd, and also squeezed to the car, and just saw Tang Cheng and the Sichuan Army boy squatting behind the car. "Go, go, don't hide here, it's not safe here, we can't get out of the city gate, we have to think of other ways." Liu Goat roared and pulled Tang Cheng out of his hiding place, and the four of them pulled each other and were carried by the crowd to the city.

After Liu Goat and Tang Cheng were forced to disperse last night, they have been looking for Tang Cheng around Rujiang Gate, and according to Jiujin's idea, he wanted to go farther to find Tang Cheng, but Liu Goat immediately stopped him. The scheming Liu Goat knew that Tang Cheng had always wanted to leave Nanjing, and now he knew that he could get out of the city at Rujiang Gate, and Tang Cheng would definitely come here, so Liu Goat chose to continue to wait for Tang Cheng here in Rujiang Gate, but he didn't expect to really meet Tang Cheng, but Liu Goat and Jiujin were separated from several other people in the second company.

"It's okay now, there are three of us left in the second company." Taken by the crowd on Zhongshan Road, Liu Goat and the others finally hid in a shop on the side of the street to avoid the crowd. Liu Goat's flower machine machine gun has long been gone, and there is only a 20-round shell gun and two grenades left on his body, and the light machine gun handed over to Jiujin is also gone, and only one barge gun and a Japanese egg-shaped grenade are left in Jiujin. Compared with the two of them, Tang Cheng has more things on his body, the flower mechanism is still there, the two 20-shot barge guns are also there, and Tang Cheng also has a few more Mauser pistol magazines on his body.

"What is this kid going to do? He is from the Sichuan army, we can't take him with us all the time. "The Sichuan army boy has been squatting alone in the corner since he entered the store, using the bayonet he picked up last night to carve something on the ground. Tang Cheng didn't want to take such an oil bottle with him, but he couldn't just leave him in the city, otherwise he could only be killed by the Japanese soldiers, but Liu Goat didn't have a good way to look at it, and when he was separated from the people of the second company, those people from the Sichuan army didn't know where to go.

The street outside the shop sounded the sound of chaotic footsteps again, Liu Goat probed out of the door to look, this time there were hundreds of routs, hurriedly pulled one of the routs who was still running wildly to ask what was wrong, but was told by the other party that the Zhonghua Gate had been broken by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army had entered the city.
