"Cough cough cough!"
"Quick, save His Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
"Division Commander! Division Commander!"
"It's the division commander Hisao Tani...Hurry, carry the division commander out...Doctor, hurry!"
"The commander of the Nakajima Division has been found! The commander of the Nakajima Division is unconscious!"
"Captain Sasaki Brigade, how are you?"
Various shouts could be faintly heard in Sasaki's ears. Hearing the contents of those shouts, Sasaki's heart sank.
However, his head was a little heavy. The explosion just now affected him, but he didn't know the extent of his injuries.
After a while, several black figures appeared in front of him. Before he could speak, he felt a pair of hands on each arm and leg. Then his whole body lightened up, and he was suspended in the air.
"Find His Highness."
"His Royal Highness is seriously injured and needs medical treatment."
Hearing this, Sasaki forcefully opened his eyes and saw a bloody man being carefully carried aside. It was vaguely confirmed to be King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace.
Another figure walked quickly.
"Commander Yanagawa!"
"How is your highness?"
"His Royal Highness fell into a coma and was seriously injured. He needs to be treated as soon as possible."
"How are the other generals? How is Commander Matsui?"
"Commander Matsui is injured and is being treated!"
Hearing that Commander Matsui and King Asaka Palace Hatohiko were both injured, especially the latter who was seriously injured, the somewhat embarrassed Yanagawa Heisuke looked extremely solemn.
A good city entry ceremony has turned into this situation.
Not only were a general commander and a lieutenant general and prince commander seriously injured, but a number of division and brigade commanders also suffered heavy losses.
Even if Nanjing was captured, the loss would be unbearable for the empire.
It would be nothing if only one lieutenant general was lost, but hundreds of officers at all levels including all division commanders, brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and group captains of the entire Central China Front were gathered in the courtyard just now.
Fortunately, there was only one enemy plane. If there were a few more enemy planes, most of these hundreds of officers would be lost. At that time, the entire Central China Front Army's command system would suffer an all-round devastating blow.
Yanagawa Heisuke's luck was relatively good. Although he fell down in the chaos just now, he was not hit by the enemy's bullets. Although he was embarrassed, he was not seriously injured.
Now, he has become the general with the highest military rank and position.
Although there are still several lieutenant generals alive, he is the lieutenant general commander.
At this moment, another shout came from outside.
Yanagawa Heisuke came to the window to watch and found that in the sky not far away, a plane was falling freely and irregularly.
He immediately raised his telescope, and when he saw that the fallen plane was a biplane fighter, he fell into a sense of powerlessness.
The two reinforced army fighter planes failed to destroy the navy aircraft. Does this prove that the army is inferior to the navy? Or are the enemies on the naval plane too powerful?
After a while, a whistling sound passed overhead.
"Commander, be careful!"
Before the people below could speak, he subconsciously bent down and hid behind the wall, feeling an inexplicable sense of shame in his heart.
More than a month ago, he led the 10th Army to land in Hangzhou Bay. In one fell swoop, he cut off the retreat route of the Chinese troops on the Songhu Battlefield, forcing hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops to retreat in a comprehensive manner on the Songhu Battlefield. victory.
Thinking about how majestic it was back then, it didn't matter that the Chinese army had a large number of people. They were not being driven around like ducks by themselves.
But now, just a plane scared him so much that he subconsciously hid. What an irony.
When the whistling sound passed, there was still the sound of bullets being fired. When the whistling sound passed, he slowly stood up, and then saw the imperial flag that had been planted on the top of the former National Government Building slowly falling to the ground. .
But the initiator was flying wantonly in the air, and then flew towards the southeast.
Seeing the enemy plane retreating away, Yanagawa Heisuke was so angry that he clenched his fist and slammed it on the wall, yelling through gritted teeth.
"idiot!"
. . . . . .
"What's going on? Why did the Japanese plane fall?"
"I don't know. Two Japanese planes fell down. It seems that they were shot down by the Japanese plane that flew away. Moreover, there was fierce gunfire just now in the direction of the National Government Building."
"The Japanese plane shot down two other Japanese planes? The Japanese are fighting among themselves."
"You ask me, I ask who is going, but I can't go out and see."
In the International Security Zone located in the west of Nanjing City, several figures came to the window and looked at the city to the east with complicated expressions.
These people were also members of the Nationalist Government, but unlike other officers and soldiers in the safety zone who put down their weapons and hid in the safety zone, these people were originally ordered to lurk in Nanjing.
This house is their stronghold, underground, with a hidden basement.
Several of them belong to the national military system, but they are not combat troops, but members of the military command.
Although they were ordered to lurk, the international safe zone was not safe, and Japanese troops came in from time to time to kill and rob people.
Naturally, anyone the Japanese army suspected was killed, and robbing people was robbing women.
Although the Japanese army was also killing people in the safety zone, the scale was not very large. In addition, the safe area was surrounded by Japanese troops, and even the military intelligence personnel lurking inside had difficulty moving, let alone the vigorous massacres carried out by the Japanese troops in other parts of Nanjing.
It has only been four or five days since the Japanese army captured Nanjing, but no fewer than 100,000 people have died at the hands of the Japanese army.
Thousands of people were massacred with machine gun fire.
Because most of the concentrated massacres were outside the city, the few military lurking personnel trapped in the safe area did not know what was going on.
What happened on the Japanese side to the east was seen by many people in the safety zone.
But the numb military officers and soldiers did not show much joy, and because they were too far away, they didn't know what was going on.
Ignoring the Japanese troops and the Nationalist soldiers lurking in the safe zone, Li Hang flew the plane away from the battlefield, flew to the Daqiaochang Airport, fired at the planes preparing to take off on the runway, and then left in a swaggering manner.
It wasn't that he didn't want to destroy all the Japanese planes at the airport, but that his planes were out of bullets.
The two onboard machine guns had less than a hundred rounds of ammunition left.
Having just shot down three enemy planes, plus the strafing of those Japanese troops, there were naturally not many bullets left.
He also had to keep some bullets just in case.
After finding the right direction, he was ready to head to his destination.
Leaving Nanjing does not mean just finding a place to go.
He drives one of the Japanese's most advanced fighter jets, so naturally he has to exert his greatest influence.
At this time, there are three most suitable places to go to the territory controlled by the Nationalist Government: Wuhan, Nanchang and Quzhou. These three places have important airports.
And if you want to maximize your benefits, it’s best to go to Wuhan.
In addition to own considerations, there are also directional factors.
Follow the Yangtze River westward without worrying about losing your direction.
After thinking about this, he flew the plane along the Yangtze River towards Wuhan.
