Shang Zhen defended countless passes, but lost countless passes.
How did Guan Shan lose it? The commander's limited command level, the backwardness of the military industry, the low cultural level of the soldiers and the lack of combat skills were all caused by a combination of various reasons. The cunning maneuvers of the upper echelons of the army ultimately made this rout particularly serious. .
The army at the front was about to be defeated, and the city gate from the rear was blocked again. However, the troops who were ordered not to retreat and were responsible for supervising the battle were there to hold on, so another gun battle broke out among our own people.
After the army supervising the battle received the order to retreat, the people who had fought against each other naturally put down their guns and joined the fleeing ranks. Only the soldiers who were killed in the "civil war" lay on the ground. The man on the ground looked at the sky with his dull eyes, his unblinking look seemed to be saying: "Mom, my son died unjustly!"
Japanese tanks entered the city, and even Japanese direct-fire artillery was pulled into Nanjing. As a result, the frightened defenders were busy escaping, and the weapons that had been used to fight the invaders were scattered all over the place.
Shang Zhen, Bai Zhan, and the soldier named Yu Zuolong who had been taken in halfway had already begun to turn back.
They had to turn back. With the defeat, they had already penetrated deep into Nanjing City. If they didn't turn back, they would really have to go out through the northwest direction of Nanjing City and Yijiang Gate. Naturally, that was not what Shang Zhen had in mind.
"We must go out from the east or south. The three of us have to meet up with our own people." Shang Zhen said.
Tens of thousands of soldiers are like ants, and Shang Zhen knows that he is too. Although he is good at fighting, he only feels safe when he is with his comrades. He is an ant, but he still needs to huddle together for warmth.
At this time, what were the soldiers under Shang Zhen doing?
Shang Zhen didn't know that at this time, his group had not left Nanjing either!
Mr. Wang and his soldiers were all hiding not far from the Taiping Gate, looking at the city gate hole in the shadow of winter.
Mr. Wang and the others have been waiting for a while, and even Ma Erhuzi, Qiu Bo, Chu Tian and the female student have caught up.
At this time, there were no soldiers guarding the shadow of the Taipingmen gate. It was a state of free passage. If Mr. Wang and the others wanted to go out, it would only take a minute.
But this time, Mr. Wang did not lead anyone forward rashly.
The reason was that they had previously encountered soldiers who had retreated from Taipingmen into the city and said that there were many Japanese troops outside Taipingmen and that the 112th Division of the Northeastern Army had been crippled.
The words made Wang Lao Mao hesitate, and while waiting, Wang Lao Mao and other veterans heard the gunshots outside the city getting closer and closer.
As a result, Mr. Wang became more and more hesitant as to whether to leave the city as originally planned. The thirty or so of them should not run into the muzzles of the Japanese as soon as they left the city gate!
Now, they all know that the defense line of Nanjing City has almost collapsed. It takes courage to go in the opposite direction. It is in line with the psychology of most people that everyone will be shot to death when the sky falls!
"We can't go out, right? Shang Zhen said that he will leave the city too. If we don't go out of the city, where will he find us?" Hou Kanshan discussed with Mr. Wang in a low voice.
Mr. Wang had a sullen face and said nothing.
Chen Hanwen secretly glanced at Mr. Wang's face, and finally said cautiously: "But if we bump into a kid when we go out, even a large army can't do it. With our small bodies -"
Mr. Wang remained silent.
Now that someone has something to say, everyone naturally has a say.
At this time, Hu Zhuzi started to interject, but what he said was always different: "Fuck, how can we show our urine nature by running away with the crowd? Just push the little devil forward and charge forward. It's over. Everyone rushes out without dying, that’s what our group is like!”
What Hu Zhuzhu said sounded so heroic, but what they are facing now is reality, and reality needs to be weighed and calculated, rather than the hero in the storytelling who rushes away as soon as he slaps the melon seeds on his head. Get out, if they dare to rush out like this, they will most likely die!
Hu Zhuzi's words were so unorthodox that they were despised by everyone.
However, this is naturally not the time for a quarrel, so most soldiers will not play with that tiger.
It just happened that at this moment, a person at the end of their group whispered: "The courage of an ordinary man!"
Um? If this person said such an evaluation of Hu Zhuzi at this juncture, it would be extremely correct. However, when this person spoke, he was even more despised by everyone than he was to Hu Zhuzi just now!
Just because the person who spoke was Chu Tian.
"Twenty! What qualifications do you have to say such a thing?" Hu Zhu turned around, raised his eyes, and said something violent!
So Chu Tian lowered his head, blushed, and shut up!
Yes, what qualifications do you, Chu Tian, have to say such a thing? If Shang Zhen hadn't gone back to pick you up and the female student you didn't know if she let you sleep with, how could their group be without Shang Zhen as the person who made the decision?
"Chu Tian, today's incident is all caused by you, go ahead and explore the way for me!" Mr. Wang, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly said loudly.
"Ah?" Chu Tian was stunned when Old Mao Wang shouted, and the faces of other soldiers became excited.
It cannot be denied that the first expression most soldiers showed was one of gloating about their misfortune.
yes! Uncle Wang’s order is fair!
Shang Zhen is not with everyone. This disaster is caused by you, a dead scholar. Now we don’t know how dangerous it is ahead, so isn’t it reasonable for you to go out and explore the way?
At this moment, You Qiu, the tiger pillar, shouted, almost jumping: "Yes! Let him go out and be the vanguard!"
It must be said that Chu Tian's behavior aroused the public indignation of the soldiers.
To be honest, Shang Zhen and his gang have fought quite a lot with the Japanese, but when will it be Chu Tian's turn to step up to the forefront and be the vanguard?
Being a vanguard is inherently dangerous, not to mention that not everyone can be a vanguard. The quality of being a vanguard affects the life and death of many people behind you.
But now that Mr. Wang has given the order, how can Chu Tian not go?
Chu Tian was recognized as the pretty boy among their group. Every time Chu Tian was scolded and called "jǚe" in Northeastern dialect, the pretty boy would turn into a red Guan Gong face.
However, Chu Tian's pretty face turned even paler this time. He knew very well that he really didn't have the time to be a leading soldier.
But at this moment, there was someone whose face was paler than Chu Tian's, and that person was naturally the female student who followed Chu Tian.
As soon as the female student saw Chu Tian being sent to the front, her face also turned pale.
Think about it, how much life experience does a female student have? She just didn't understand what a vanguard was, but she could tell the danger of a vanguard through this title.
Seeing that Chu Tian didn't move, Mr. Wang became even more angry. He didn't care what happened between Chu Tian and the female student. How could someone else be a top soldier like you, a pretty boy? That doesn't make sense!
"Go! Otherwise we will engage in military law!" Mr. Wang said fiercely.
But under his words, Chu Tian's pale face suddenly turned red again, and then everyone saw Chu Tian actually walking out with his flower trap.
As soon as Chu Tian left, everyone's eyes fell on the pale female student again.
Ouch, even though the pear blossoms haven’t brought rain yet, I still feel pity for them!
"Then -" Ju Hongxia opened her mouth to say something, her eyes showing sympathy for the woman.
In any case, Chu Tian is also the lover of the female student. If Chu Tian has a bad relationship, what should the girl do?
However, Ju Hongxia was a police officer, but she knew that she had no place to speak in this situation, so she didn't say anything after all.
At this moment, Chu Tian's back walking forward looked so pitiful, so angry, so hateful.
I don’t know if anyone like Mr. Wang and the others sympathizes with Chu Tian, but no one would take the initiative to call Chu Tian back at this time. Just as Mr. Wang thought, others can go there as a vanguard, but you, a pretty boy, can do it. Can't go? Then from now on, all these big men will put powder on their faces and stop being soldiers?
Danger and death are the same for every officer and soldier participating in the war. Since you are still wearing this military uniform, you must have the courage to face death!
But having said that, everyone's eyes were still focused on that pitiful female student.
It is a man's nature to pay attention to a woman, who cares if she is someone else's wife.
So how will this female student behave? Like other brave female soldiers, do you bravely walk forward with your sweetheart, or do you just shrink back?
