"Why don't you run away?" the officer in the alley asked Shang Zhen.
"Am I not running away now?" Shang Zhen was surprised.
"You call this a breakout, okay?" the officer said angrily.
"Oh." Shang Zhen responded, "My people are over there."
Yes, they are right. He is heading towards the direction of the Japanese attack, which is called a breakout, and running to the west and north is called escaping. And the "other end" he said of course means that if nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Wang and the others went out through the Taiping Gate on the east side.
"Why don't you run away?" Shang Zhen.
"There are no boats on the river, so why not give it a try!" the officer replied.
Shang Zhen said "oh" again, but this time the "oh" was in a rising tone. He really didn't know that there were no ships on the Yangtze River.
"I thought the military police were not afraid of death!" However, Shang Zhen didn't reply, but Bai Zhan said angrily from the side.
"Huh?" Bai Zhan was choked by his words, and the officer's face dropped at that time.
Bai Zhan didn't have a good impression of the military police. He thought he was arrested by the military police as a Japanese soldier, and then he was beaten up by the military police. Although there were no serious injuries at all, the pain in his flesh was still painful!
"What? You want to fall out with me? I'm your savior!" Bai Zhan was not afraid of the officer falling out with him. He had already thought out how to deal with him before provoking him.
Although it was Shang Zhen and Yu Zuolong who shot and killed the Japanese soldier operating the flat-firing cannon, the officer Bai Zhanliang could not see who fired the gun, so he was the savior of this group of military police! And he was never worried that Shang Zhen would expose him. After all, Shang Zhen was one of his own.
The officer was caught by Bai Zhan again.
Most soldiers are straight-faced. On the battlefield, they fight with the enemy with real swords and guns. When it comes to verbal fights, how can he be the opponent of someone like Bai Zhan, who spends his days hanging around in the market?
Shang Zhen turned his head and glared at Bai Zhan. He was about to say something to ease the officer's embarrassment, but then they heard the sound of cannon again.
All of them subconsciously turned their heads and looked into the distance, but the buildings next to them blocked their sight. However, the sound of gunfire should be where the officers and soldiers who had been rescued by Shang Zhen were hiding.
Shang Zhen only killed the Japanese gunner, but the Japanese direct-fire cannon was still there. Of course, the Japanese could send people up to control it.
"Let's go quickly. Not to mention whether we can get out of Nanjing City if we are too late, it will be useless for us to get out of Nanjing City once the little devils encircle us!" Shang Zhen said.
When Shang Zhen said this, the soldiers all looked at the officer.
Originally, all of them were already determined to die, but now Shang Zhen made them live again.
But no matter how hard-working they were, these soldiers could only listen to their own commanders instead of Shang Zhen, a seemingly ordinary soldier from the Northeast Army.
And this situation is actually the difference between an organized army and an unorganized army.
The officer was silent, but Shang Zhen didn't know what the officer was thinking. Shang Zhen added: "Don't think it's so easy to escape from the east. You may be able to kill more Japanese than you can by holding your position." More."
Zen in Chinese Buddhism has a term called "directly pointing to the human heart."
And now what Shang Zhen added was directly aimed at people's hearts, but Shang Zhen directly hit the officer's mind.
Never mind whether the Chinese officers and soldiers gathered together now broke out or escaped, but it was still a battle. The number of Japanese soldiers killed in this kind of battle was not necessarily less than those killed by defending the position. In other words, if they could rush out, they would not be able to escape. What a blessing.
As for whether to fight positional warfare or mobile warfare or guerrilla warfare, Shang Zhen, a veteran, has experienced enough. He was afraid of meeting someone who would cause trouble, and thought that defending the position was the only way to fight the Japanese, so he fought The officer was given a "shot" as a preventive measure.
After all, the officer was persuaded by Shang Zhen. He waved his hand silently, and the group of them walked forward in the alley.
An hour later, it was getting dark, and at this time, Shang Zhen and his group were leading the way, Bai Zhan.
After all, Bai Zhan was familiar with the street layout of Nanjing City, even more so than the military policeman led by the officer.
As for Shang Zhen, even though he has the urban zoning map of Nanjing in his hand, he still needs to look at street signs and so on in broad daylight, and now it's even more difficult to see.
Nanjing was once, well, I can only use "once". Nanjing was once the capital of the Republic of China. Although it is not as good as Shanghai's Shili Foreign Market, it still has the feasting and feasting along the Qinhuai River. Although Nanjing is now a city Some of the people have been evacuated, but the size of the city is still there.
Later generations described a big city as a jungle of reinforced concrete. Although Nanjing does not have so many reinforced concrete buildings nowadays, the houses are still packed in rows.
When Shang Zhen and the three of them ran back with the defeated soldiers, they ran through the main street. The avenue was naturally wide and wide. But this time the Japanese army had already rushed onto the main street, so they could only advance in a roundabout way. How could they get up quickly?
Shang Zhen ran in front with Bai Zhan from beginning to end, not because he wanted to be the vanguard, but because he really didn't want the military police behind him to shoot rashly and fight the Japanese army.
By now, it was impossible for Shang Zhen to retreat to the city gate in the direction of the Yangtze River even if he regretted it. He didn't want to fight with the Japanese army, so naturally he would hide if he saw the shadow of the Japanese army in front of him.
However, he didn't want to think about it. Now that the Japanese army had breached the gate of Nanjing City, the invaders had marched straight in, and only a few of the defenders dared to resist. Is this something he could avoid if he wanted to? Unless he doesn't want to go out of town!
And then, when Shang Zhen and Bai Zhan were walking along a large wall with people, he and Bai Zhan made gestures almost at the same time.
Although Shang Zhen's gesture was to raise his hand, while Bai Zhan waved his hand back, this did not prevent the officers and soldiers following them from behind to "swipe" and stop. steps.
And the moment they stopped, all of them heard the "thump" and "thump" of footsteps on the other side of the big wall. Some of the footsteps were even very loud. They were the kind of Japanese army's big-toed shoes. The sound of heels tapping on stone!
No need to ask, those who dare to make such a big noise on the streets must be Japanese soldiers.
what to do? The enemy situation was placed directly in front of everyone.
Of course, the soldiers at the back wanted to listen to the officer. The officer just thought for a moment and made a gesture of throwing grenades across the wall. What he undoubtedly meant was that they would throw grenades across the wall before the Japanese army discovered them. past.
No matter who becomes the commander, this is undoubtedly the most reasonable combat plan.
But at this moment Shang Zhen moved. Shang Zhen jumped forward like a civet cat with an extremely agile but light movement.
What is he going to do? For a moment, the officer was startled by Shang Zhen's sudden move!
