Chapter 101: One Man's Battle (1)
Under the watchful eyes of the Jiangbei refugees and the rout, Lu Yuan and the others returned to the Xiaguan wharf, which was less than an hour before dark, but there were at least about 10,000 rout soldiers in Nanjing City who were exchanging fire with the Japanese army. "Old Yan, cross the river, and take all the injured with you by the way." Yan Zhengqing also stayed in the Rujiangmen position, and Huang Haishan's departure made Yan Zhengqing extremely disdainful, and he stubbornly believed that a real officer should not go to Jiangbei early in the morning like Huang Haishan.
Lu Yuan's return did not seem to surprise Yan Zhengqing, and in the face of Lu Yuan's persuasion, Yan Zhengqing couldn't help shaking his head. "No, when we met in the city, I told my brothers that I would die in battle in this city of Nanjing. The brothers who stayed with me at that time were all killed in the battle, and now I am the only one left, and I want to stay with them in this city of Nanjing. Yan Zhengqing's tone sounded very lonely, but the resoluteness in it was obvious.
Lu Yuan didn't answer Yan Zhengqing's words, but secretly glanced at the old cannon, only to see that the old cannon slashed at the back of Yan Zhengqing's neck with a snap. Yan Zhengqing and Lu Yuan stood face to face, so there was no way to guard against an attack from behind, and the back of the neck suddenly received a heavy blow, and Yan Zhengqing immediately rolled his eyes and fainted. "What are you?" The speed of the old cannon shot was too fast, which made Sun Zhi who was present dumbfounded.
"Okay, now he can honestly cross the river." Lu Yuan didn't say much, just handed Yan Zhengqing over to Sun Zhi's care, and then rushed all the routs of the national army who were trying to stay on the dock to the ferry. "If you speed up and cross the river, you may still have the opportunity to board the boat to cross the river, and if you continue to grind, the brothers in the city may lose the last chance to leave." Lu Yuan's words made Sun Zhi and them give up their insistence, and seeing that the dock was getting farther and farther away, there were already routed soldiers on the ferry who cried on the spot.
Another group of routs successfully crossed the river, Jiangbei erupted in cheers, Lu Yuan took one last look at Jiangbei, then turned around and left the dock and hurried back to the Rujiangmen position. At this time, because of Sun Zhi's departure, there were only less than 30 people left in Lu Yuan. After looking around left and right, Lu Yuan immediately smiled and said, "I estimate that the Japanese army has already entered the city, and those brothers who were ordered to intercept them are also retreating, why don't you stay here and I drive to the street intersection in front to have a look?" ”
Lao Pao and the others did not suspect him, so they stayed in the Rujiangmen position to prepare, while Lu Yuan left Rujiangmen and drove all the way straight. The city of Nanjing was full of gunfire at the moment, although the sound of gunfire was not very dense, but Lu Yuan knew that after every gunfire and every shelling, it was likely that there would be bloody soldiers of the national army killed or injured. At a street intersection not very far from Rujiangmen, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped the truck, and after a slight pause, Lu Yuan hit the steering wheel, quickly turned the truck around in the middle of the street, and then used the tail of the car to face the street on the left.
Lu Yuan had just adjusted the direction of the truck, and from the street opposite the back of the car, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and Lu Yuan turned around and squatted down while raising his rifle. Soon, Lu Yuan shouted loudly to the faint figures on the street, "Hurry up, I have a truck here." Suddenly, he heard someone shouting in front of him, and the dozen or so national army routs who were moving along the street towards Rujiangmen immediately dispersed and hid in the street.
Lu Yuan is not a soldier, so naturally he doesn't have a troop number, so Lu Yuan just shouted a blood flag, if someone on the other side knows the blood flag, they will know what the next sentence is. Sure enough, after Lu Yuan shouted the blood flag, after a short silence for the rout of the national army on the opposite side, someone shouted the words Nanjing Yongjiu to Lu Yuan's side. Lu Yuan had actually already known through his full-view map that the opposite side was the national army, but at this moment, the light was dim, and the national army in the street did not know that Lu Yuan was with them.
Finally distinguishing the identity of the other party, the soldiers of the national army scattered in the street gathered together again, supporting each other and moving quickly towards Lu Yuan. "Get in the car, get in the car, get all in the car." Lu Yuan didn't say much, just asked the other party to get into the car immediately, because in another street not far from them, about 30 Japanese soldiers were moving towards this side. As soon as the truck driven by Lu Yuan left the center of the street, the earthy yellow figure of the Japanese army appeared from the corner of the street not far away, and the soldiers of the national army who were crowded in the carriage secretly congratulated Lu Yuan on his timely appearance.
"Do any of you know how to drive?" While driving, Lu Yuan turned around and shouted to the national army routs through the back window of the connected carriage. After learning that two of the dozen or so national army routs could drive, Lu Yuan slammed on the brakes and parked the truck on the side of the street not far from Rujiangmen. "You drive to Rujiangmen, inform the old artillery to strengthen vigilance, and I will come back later." After a few words of advice, Lu Yuan ignored everyone's persuasion and quickly disappeared into the ruins on the side of the street.
Koichi Kameyama didn't know if he was lucky or sad, he was supposed to follow his team to act, but what he didn't expect was that during a firefight with the Shina army in the city, he would actually be separated from the team. After being separated, Koichi Kameyama wandered around the city alone, knowing that he had encountered the Kuroki team, and finally got out of the situation where he had to face danger alone. But what didn't make him even more unexpected was that the people of the Blackwood team did not treat him well, but made themselves the pioneers of pathfinding.
Because the chance of a spearhead encountering danger is very high, those who serve as spearheads in the Japanese army are generally veterans, and Koichi Kameyama can't figure out why he became a spearhead because he was just a new recruit on the battlefield. Following the movements of the other two sharp soldiers on his side, Koichi Kameyama crossed the crater in front of him, then lowered his figure, and a pair of eyes secretly scanned back and forth around, once he found something unusual, he would definitely turn around and jump into the crater as soon as possible.
Fortunately, including Koichi Kameyama, the three top soldiers didn't notice anything unusual around them, and Koichi Kameyama, who had been tense, hesitated slightly, and finally straightened up and slowly continued to move forward. The streets were empty, only the ruins and the smell of fireworks in the air, but even so, Koichi Kameyama and the three of them were always slowly moving forward and searching, and no one dared to let go of the big stride and move forward quickly.
Kameyama Koichi and the three of them walked slowly across the entire street like this, and then turned around and sent a signal to the team on the other side of the street, when Kameyama Koichi squatted against the street wall and lit a fire and smoked, the rest of the Kuroki team was coming quickly under the leadership of the team leader. Originally, the movement of the Kuroki team was not as slow as it is now, but after they entered the city, they were repeatedly blocked by sporadic national army routs, and the Kuroki team, which had already paid one-fifth of the casualties, learned to move forward in concealment.
When the sturdy squad leader Kazuo Kuroki passed by Koichi Kameyama, he spat on the ground unabashedly, if it weren't for the fact that his team suffered one-fifth casualties, he wouldn't have taken in Koichi Kameyama anyway. The soldiers of the Kuroki squad all saw what the squad leader Kuroya Kazuo had just done, but no one said anything about the grievances of Koichi Kameyama, because they didn't believe that Koichi Kameyama had no intention of separating from his team from the beginning.
Kazuo Kuroya's behavior caused Koichi Kameyama to frown slightly, but he didn't react much, just continued to lower his head and smoke his cigarette, as if he didn't know what Kazuo Kuroki had just done. Koichi Kameyama's lack of reaction made the soldiers of the Kuroki squad all shake their heads, the army is a place where the strong survive, and blindly retreating like Koichi Kameyama can't win respect for himself.
Squatting behind the broken wall on the side of the street and looking ahead with a telescope for a while, Kazuo Kuroki pointed to the next street intersection in front of him, "Keep going, we're going to the next street entrance." Hearing Kuroki's voice, Koichi Kameyama, who had just finished smoking a cigarette, immediately got up and followed the top soldier of Kuroki's squad into the next street. It's almost a copy just now, Koichi Kameyama and the three of them move forward little by little along the side of the street, but whenever there is something suspicious, the three of them will stop and watch carefully.
Koichi Kameyama sat sideways behind a pile of rubble, watching the veteran on his left move forward without blinking, and when the other party stopped, it was his turn to search forward. A few seconds later, the veteran, who had already moved forward seven or eight meters, turned around and made a gesture at Koichi Kameyama, who had secretly taken a deep breath, walked out slowly and ran quickly towards the crater that he had already seen beforehand.
Without paying attention to the movements in front of him and around him, Koichi Kameyama almost slid into the crater, and after seeing that there were only some brick and stone debris in the crater, Koichi Kameyama waved his arms vigorously at the two veterans behind him. Koichi Kameyama's cowardly behavior made the veterans of the two Kuroki Squad very disdainful, but they still jumped out of their hiding places and moved forward alternately after seeing Koichi Kameyama wave his arms vigorously.
The street entrance was in front of him, and everything seemed to be going very well, and Koichi Kameyama in the crater was ready to move forward again, but at this moment, something strange suddenly appeared. There was a crisp sound of "dang", and a sharp soldier who had just run a few meters through the crater fell to the ground on his back, and before Koichi Kameyama could stretch out his head to watch. There was another crisp sound of "dang", and another Japanese soldier tilted his body and plunged into the crater where Koichi Kameyama was hiding, smashing Koichi Kameyama in the crater in a daze.
