On Guanghua Gate, blood along the city walls had dyed the moat red.

When Zhou Weiguo woke up, it was already 2 pm on December 12. Zhou Weiguo silently opened the system interface and found that there were 10,000 war points, so he couldn't help but feel sad. He looked at the time again. It was December 12. The Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate had been broken through by the Japanese army.

Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly. At this time, the big men in the command center should be considering retreating. He knew that when the national army gave up resistance, the troops of tens of thousands of people would become defeated. That was not called retreating at all, but defeated!

"Hu Zi!" Zhou Weiguo called out.

"Horse!" Hu Zi was still very competent as Zhou Weiguo's guard. "Are you awake?"

"Brother, you are awake!" Liu San said on the side. This time, Zhou Weiguo was injured, and Liu San blamed himself. He was Zhou Weiguo's guard, but he asked for leave to go to the city the night when Zhou Weiguo was injured.

"How is the battle?" Zhou Weiguo asked.

"We are fine." Hu Zi's tone was a little low, "Guanghua Sect is still there, but brothers, there are less than 800 people alive, and most of them are injured. Now, most of the Guanghua Sect positions are the teaching corps responsible for defense. However, yesterday morning, we used cannons to make the Japanese suffer a loss, knocking out more than 20 Japanese turtle shells, and then the artillery fire extended out, killing many Japanese. Originally, the Japanese's offensive had been alleviated after this attack, but the Japanese seemed to have another division, and rushed up without mercy."

"It's good if you're still here." Zhou Weiguo's tone was a little low, "Does the command center have any orders?"

"The Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have been lost." Xu Hu said, "The command headquarters ordered our troops to retreat to the city tonight, gather with the large army, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

"Huzi, go and pass the order." Zhou Wei Guodao, "Where am I?"

"In the city ambulance team! Madam knows that you are injured, but she is also very busy now." Xu Hu said, then said goodbye to Zhou Weiguo.

"Brother, I'm sorry, if I were there yesterday, you wouldn't have been hurt." Liu San said blamingly.

"Stern brother, my brother, what are you talking about?" Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly, "This is also fate. Have you handled everything?"

"It's all right. I saw that Nanjing couldn't hold on anymore, so I exchanged all my money for HSBC's exchange votes." Liu San said, "It's all my fault."

"San brother, it's not your fault. I'm a soldier, so it's normal to be injured." Zhou Wei Guodao, "What's more, you're right to deal with it like this, third brother."

After struggling to get up, Zhou Weiguo took a breath. The wounds on his body were very painful. Only then could he clearly feel the wounds he had, the left shoulder, the entire back and the right arm, and smiled bitterly. No wonder he fainted. It would be strange if the three wounds were not lost too much blood.

"Be careful." Liu San quickly supported Zhou Weiguo.

After a while, Xiao Ya came in.

"Weiguo!" Xiao Ya said excitedly, "Why are you getting up? Lying down quickly!"

"Xiao Ya, I'm fine." Zhou Weiguo's face was pale at this time, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which caused the pain in the wound.

"You're okay!" Xiao Ya was almost crying, "You almost died!" Liu San retreated when he saw this.

Zhou Weiguo saw Xiao Ya's eyes red and felt panicked. He wanted to wipe Xiao Ya's tears with his hands, but both hands were injured. He could only look at Xiao Ya and cry, "Xiao Ya, I'm fine, don't cry. I'm really fine."

Xiao Ya just looked at Zhou Weiguo and didn't dare to hug him. Zhou Weiguo was injured and could not touch him.

Zhou Weiguo was helpless and then shouted, "Oh! The wound hurts so much."

"Weiguo," Xiao Ya bent down with a crying voice and said, "Which wound hurts?"

"Heart hurt." Zhou Weiguo's eyes looked at Xiao Ya's eyes, and could see the heartache in his eyes, and said, "As soon as you cry, my heart hurts. So, can you stop crying? I'm really fine."

Xiao Ya bit her lips, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and then said, "Yeah. I won't cry. Then you lie down and rest, I'll feed you porridge."

"good."

...

After eating, Zhou Weiguo felt that he was so warm.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, we are going to retreat tonight. You will be with me in a while, do you know?"

"Retreat?" Xiao Ya was a little confused, "Can't you hold on? Didn't you say that Nanjing City can be defended?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly, "The Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have fallen, we have failed."

"What should the people do if the troops withdraw? What should the wounded do?" Xiao Ya asked anxiously.

Zhou Weiguo could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Xiao Ya could only remain silent.

...

December 13, 1937 at 1:00 a.m.

Zhou Weiguo had completed two tasks, one was the side mission to defend Nanjing. Although the order to retreat was given, the actual retreat was in the early morning of the 13th, so it was considered to have completed the task. The other was the plot mission, saving Xiao Ya. At this time, Xiao Ya was only able to pack up her things and come to Zhou Weiguo's ward.

Outside the city ambulance team, 321 soldiers stood neatly, but each of them was tied with bandages. Fang Shengli, Xu Hu and Li Weimin walked into the yard.

"Let's go." Zhou Weiguo looked at everyone and said. Then, with Hu Zi's support, he walked out of the yard of the city ambulance team.

When Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers standing outside the yard, his eyes turned red, and then he struggled with his left hand and took off his hat and bowed to them.

Then the soldiers began to whine in a low voice.

In an independent brigade, there were more than 300 people left, and the others were all left on the position.

"Don't cry!" Zhou Weiguo said hoarsely, "You are all good things, and you didn't embarrass me! You didn't embarrass your brothers! You didn't embarrass your China! In the Nanjing Defense War, our independent brigade, at least more than 10,000 Japanese devils, then straighten your chest and raise your head, and be upright! We didn't lose! Sooner or later, we will fight back!"

"yes!"

…

Immediately, everyone got on the seven transport vehicles that Zhou Weiguo had already exchanged. Each vehicle was equipped with two machine guns.

There were the fewest people in the car where Zhou Weiguo was located, but there were all cadres at the regiment level and above.

"Zhang Xin, where are Zheng Yong and Liu Hai?" Zhou Weiguo's voice was low and he asked, "That was his combat staff, the second and third regiment commanders."

"Sacrificed." Fang Shengli said.

"I understand." Zhou Wei Guodao, "Everyone has a good rest. Only by resting well can they avenge their injuries."

"Um."

...

Soon, the car drove to Zhongshan Road. It was still early in the morning of the 13th, so the road section was quite smooth. When it dawned, the troops in the city would retreat along Zhongshan Road to Xiaguan, and the two left and right gates of Yijiangmen were blocked, and only one in the middle could pass. Each unit rushed to sweep it and refused to give in to each other. Many people were trampled to death because of the squeeze.

When Zhou Weiguo and others left Yijiang Gate and left Nanjing City behind, Zhou Weiguo silently said to himself, "One day, I will definitely call back."
