The battlefield is really like a thousand times in an instant.
Wang Laomao and the others, who were originally afraid to leave the city, finally caught a "hitchhiker" with the Guangdong army.
However, the vast majority of the Chinese defenders retreated towards the northwest gate, but they were the only ones to go south according to Shang Zhen's original instructions.
Northeastern people have never lacked communication skills. Not long after they left the city, Qian Chuaner made gestures and communicated with a lower-level officer of the Guangdong Army. Then he ran back and told Mr. Wang and the others that they were temporarily following him. The ins and outs of this Cantonese army team.
To be precise, the Cantonese army leaving the city now is not one, but two armies, namely the first part of the 66th Army and the first part of the 83rd Army.
The Chinese troops currently guarding Nanjing City are actually dominated by the Central Army, such as the 74th Army, the 71st Army, the 88th Division of the 72nd Army, the 36th Division of the 78th Army, the Teaching Corps, the Military Police, etc.
Otherwise, the general who currently serves as the highest garrison commander in Nanjing City cannot control the troops below.
As for these generals of the Central Army, they are all disciples of the Emperor. Why don't you just confiscate all the ships on the Yangtze River? How is that possible, but they all hide the boats for their own troops.
It is unrealistic to say that the ship can transport thousands of soldiers across the Yangtze River, but it is always possible to transport one's own officers across.
The 66th Army and the 83rd Army of the Guangdong Army had just withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield.
They arrived in Nanjing and were unfamiliar with the place. They were thrown into the war again before they could get familiar with the environment. They wanted to hide the boats on the Yangtze River, but they didn't have the skills to hide the boats at all!
Now that the order to retreat has been issued, the commander of the Cantonese Army thought that if he retreated to the west or north, it would be the Yangtze River.
It's almost mid-December now, and the water in the Yangtze River is very cold! Is it possible to swim across it without a boat?
And the ships stored by the Central Army are not enough to transport their own people, so how can we allocate ships to them?
Therefore, their only way to survive was to break out east and south, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had just conquered Nanjing City and the Japanese troops had not yet encircled them.
Only by rushing out can you go all the way south. Who doesn't miss his hometown? The hometown of the Northeastern Army is in the three northeastern provinces with soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and plains, and the hometown of the Guangdong Army is naturally in Guangdong!
Now the Guangdong army is rushing forward, and Wang Laomao and the others are following behind. There are thousands of people in front of them. Suddenly Wang Laomao and the others have the idea that our team will be stronger and we can enjoy the shade under the tree. Moreover, at present, Guangdong The army had no intention of driving them away.
"This time following these Cantonese guys, we borrowed all the money." Qian Chuan'er whispered.
"I don't know if these Cantonese guys are strong enough to fight the Japanese. Don't let them beat the Japanese to nothing and then trick us into hiding!" Mr. Wang was a little worried.
Of course, not all Northeasterners are like Wang Lao Mao, Qian Chuaner and others. In Northeastern dialect, their mouths are very "sào", which means they are very annoying.
Of course, this is just the Guangdong army's tongue they are chewing behind their backs. If they were in front of other officers, they would not say that anyway. Instead, they would keep shouting at them one by one!
However, speaking from the actual situation, it was indeed the first time for them to deal with the officers and soldiers of the Guangdong Army and Guangdong. The Northeast Army and the Northeast Tigers were somewhat arrogant because they were taller and larger, and they still looked down upon them in their hearts. The bloodiness and combat effectiveness of the Guangdong army.
"We won't follow them until it gets dark. Let's go find Commander Chang of the 112th Division. If Mr. Shang leaves the city, he will have to go find our Northeastern Army.
Otherwise, we might get separated. "Old Mao Wang said carefully.
Others naturally agreed with Wang Laomao's statement.
If we say that in times of peace, the fate between people is over, then they will break up as time passes.
During the war, if brothers who crawled out of a trench were separated, they would probably be separated by different paths, and most of the time they would see each other again only in a dream!
After all, Shang Zhen's role is irreplaceable. It cannot be said that others will not fight without Shang Zhen, but they have become accustomed to fighting and escaping under Shang Zhen's command.
But now when everyone thought that Shang Zhen had not yet come out of Nanjing City, they all looked at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian was with them, and he knew the reason why everyone looked at him with really unfriendly eyes.
This was originally his fault, so he could only hang his head.
But the female student who was right next to him said quietly: "I'm sorry."
But at this sentence, everyone, including Mr. Wang, could only look away.
It is true that Northeastern men are chauvinistic, but Northeastern men also sympathize with the weak.
Although the incident was caused by the female student's black-and-white kitten, which was probably dead in the gunfire, but if you ask men like Mr. Wang to blame a weak woman face to face, none of them can do it.
In the cold sunshine of early winter, Wang Laomao and the others began to march in silence. At this time, the Cantonese army in front no longer called the "Mother Diuqu", and the entire team was just the rustling of footsteps and firearms. The sound of collision.
On the other hand, the city of Nanjing was now filled with gunfire. Although it was the Japanese troops rushing into the city to seize territory, there were also Chinese officers and soldiers who did not want to give up resistance and were fighting to the death with the Japanese troops.
And just when Mr. Wang and the others were thinking how great it would be if they could follow this team out like this, gunshots suddenly rang out from the front, and as soon as they heard the gunshots, Mr. Wang and the others knew that they The Cantonese army they were following finally collided with the Japanese army!
Qian Chuan'er said hello and ran forward with a small dustpan. The two of them needed to get information from their own people.
After a while, both of them ran back. Facing everyone's concerned eyes, Qian Chuan'er gasped and said, "We bumped into the little devil.
But it seemed that the Japs hadn't had time to surround us yet. The commander of the Cantonese army ordered everyone to tie a white towel around themselves. The command was "Lose that horse", and the front line was already preparing to charge. "
"What are you throwing away for fun?" Mr. Wang asked puzzledly.
It seems that "throwing that horse" is also Cantonese, and Qian Chuan'er is just following the same pattern.
"I don't understand either, but I guess it means the same thing as the 'Old Mother Diuqu' they called before." Qian Chuan'er guessed.
"Losing my mother, losing that horse?" Mr. Wang also tried to say these two words. Just when he tasted that the two words were somewhat similar, there was a sudden shouting from the front. This time, the cry was exactly, "If there is a past, there is no rear, just beat him to death, leave his mother behind, charge!"
The shout came so suddenly that everyone raised their toes and looked forward.
However, although the terrain outside Taipingmen was not dangerous, it was not without any obstacles, and they could not figure out why for a moment.
Wang Laomao glanced around and saw that the terrain on the left was higher, so he ran over and waited until he could see the situation not far away, but he was stunned.
Just because he saw that although the Cantonese officers and soldiers were scattered, they were rushing forward with rifles!
Although the machine guns covered by the Cantonese army were making "chut-chut-chut" noises, the Japanese army's crooked firing sound was not idle either!
Guangdong officers and soldiers kept falling to the ground after being shot, but the people behind were holding rifles and charging over the corpse of the brother in front whose blood was still hot!
If the first row of people fell down and the second row of people rushed forward, it is understandable. Isn't that what fighting is like?
But the people in the second row fell, and the third row continued to rush up.
The third row fell down, but the fourth row still kept walking!
"Ouch! Oops!" At this moment, Mr. Wang was a little confused. Are these Cantonese guys so fierce?
And as Mr. Wang watched from a distance, at least one company of Cantonese officers and soldiers who rushed forward, after suffering most of their casualties, dozens of soldiers rushed into the Japanese position, and then bayonets were fired at dusk. The sun was shining brightly, and the Cantonese army was actually engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army!
Why didn’t Mr. Wang know that bayonet fighting was the strength of the Japanese army, but the Cantonese, who were shorter than the Northeasterners, started fighting with the Japanese army like this!
Mr. Wang moved his eyes back again, and then he saw another group of Guangdong officers and soldiers rushing forward again.
For a moment, not only Mr. Wang, but also Qian Chuan'er who caught up later were stunned. They really didn't expect the Guangdong army to be so bloody!
The scale of this battle was not large, but the brutality was something Wang Lao Mao had never seen before.
And just when the Cantonese army behind rushed forward to seize the position, the remaining soldiers of the company in front were already Liao Liao!
"I feel like we are not hitchhiking, we seem to have taken the wrong ride." Mr. Wang murmured as he looked at the scene in the distance.
"Uncle Wang, what are you talking about?" Little Dustpan didn't understand.
"Originally, I thought they were weak and timid, so don't kidnap us.
Now it seems that they are not afraid of death, and they may smash all of us at the back in the end! "Old Mao Wang said.
