Hongxing and Yao Nianci were like two frightened little rabbits, and turned into a small alley in panic. Because they were so anxious that they didn't have to worry about their feet, Yao Nianci stepped on a pit and left her feet. She screamed and fell to the ground. Yao Nianci's pretty instantly turned white, and cold sweat from the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

But it was really raining and the boat was getting windy again. That day, Yao Nianci sprained her ankle in the Confucius Temple Field Hospital to chase Gao Shenxing, but she had not healed. Then she sprained again. And the injury was still the same place. Yao Nianci felt that the bones at the ankle were about to crack, and the pain was sore.

Hongxing, who had already run out for more than ten steps, quickly broke back and asked anxiously: "Nianci, what's wrong with you?"

"Hongxing, I sprained my ankle." Yao Nianci tried to stand up with Hongxing's support, but accidentally pulled her injured ankle and frowned in pain. Hongxing squatted down and reached out to squeeze Yao Nianci's ankle and gently squeezed it. Yao Nianci was so painful that Xuexue moaned, obviously hurting her bones.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Hong Xing was so anxious that she was at a loss and kept crying.

When Yao Nianci and Hongxing were at a loss, five Japanese soldiers wearing yellow cloth uniforms suddenly turned out of the entrance of the alley. Seeing Yao Nianci sitting on the ground and Hongxing squatting on the ground, the five Japanese soldiers immediately laughed loudly and hurriedly chased into the alley with bayonets, and kept calling out Miss Hua.

Hongxing screamed in fear, helped Yao Nianci and ran deep into the alley. Yao Nianci also resisted the piercing pain and limped forward with Hongxing's support. But they were all wearing high-heeled crystal shoes and tight cheongsams. How could they run past a few Japanese soldiers? Soon, they let Japanese soldiers catch up.

While running, a Japanese soldier reached out and grabbed Hongxing's fur coat.

Hongxing screamed and instinctively let go of the hands that were holding Yao Nianci, and ran forward hard. Yao Nianci fell to the ground. Two Japanese soldiers crossed over Yao Nianci who had fallen to the ground and continued to chase Hongxing. The two Japanese soldiers squatted down and pressed Yao Nianci. Finally, the Japanese Chief Cao walked up with a lewd smile, and couldn't wait to untie the belt.

Yao Nianci sighed softly in her heart. Just as she was about to bite the dentures in her mouth, a sudden gunshot suddenly rang out. The Japanese Chief Cao who had just untied his belt fell down and his whole body was pressing on Yao Nianci. Yao Nianci saw that the Japanese Chief Cao's head had burst like a broken watermelon boat.

Immediately afterwards, another gunshot was heard, and one of the two Japanese soldiers who were chasing Hongxing fell to the ground.

The remaining three Japanese soldiers reacted very quickly. The group rolled under the wall. Two of them raised their guns and fired randomly at the windows on both sides of the alley. The other took out the alarm from their bags and shook it hard. In an instant, a harsh whine sounded throughout the alley, but they didn't know if they could hear it outside the alley.

However, not long after the alarm sounded, two grenades fell from the sky. After two explosions, the harsh sirens stopped abruptly. The Japanese soldiers who were raising the alarm were also killed on the spot. Then two grenades fell down, and the other two Japanese soldiers hiding under the wall were also blown up in vain.

As the smoke filled the gun, two veterans of the National Army broke out from the house on the side of the alley with insulator guns. They first shot several times at the fallen Japanese soldiers without saying a word, and then stabbed several holes in them with bayonets. They were sure that these Japanese soldiers were completely dead, and then turned around to observe the two rescued women.

At this moment, another graceful figure appeared in the room. Looking at the two Qinhuai prostitutes curled up on the ground, screaming in surprise: "Nianci, Hongxing, why are you here?"

Yao Nianci and Hongxing turned around in shock, but saw Yu Jiaxi standing in front of them.

"Jiaxi?!...'Sister Jiaxi?!" Yao Nianci was inexplicably surprised, but Hongxing rushed over and hugged Yu Jiaxi, burst into tears.

"Jiaxi, weren't you picked up by someone from the garrison headquarters?" After Yao Nianci was surprised, she immediately became worried about her best friend, "Why are you still staying in the city?

"Don't mention it." Yu Jiaxi sighed and said sadly, "When we left the city, the street leading to Yijiangmen was already crowded by the fleeing people. We finally left Yijiangmen, but there were no ships on the dock, and the Japanese army came from several directions. We really had no choice but to follow the defeated troops back to the city."

A veteran came forward and reminded in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Yu, this is not the place to speak. Xiao Riwuben just sounded the alarm. Their team will come soon, so we have to leave quickly."

Another veteran listened with his ears on his back for a moment, then said with a tragic expression: "I'm afraid I can't leave anymore,"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded at the entrance of the alley. When everyone looked back quickly, they saw more than twenty Japanese soldiers wearing yellow cloth uniforms rushing into the alley. The bayonets flashed with a sharp cold light in the dim alley, which made the eyes of two veterans of the national army hurt. Yu Jiaxi and the others screamed in fear.

"Doctor Yu, please leave quickly!" a veteran yelled.

"What about you?" Yu Jiaxi said in a panic, "Why, why don't you go together?"

"If you go together, don't even think about living!" Another veteran shouted in a hoarse voice, "Doctor Yu, if you can escape alive, don't forget to send a message to my hometown and tell my wife to let her remarry as soon as possible." Although that was the case, the veteran knew in his heart that just because of Yu Jiaxi and the others, they would not want to escape alive.

Yu Jiaxi nodded and said to Hongxing again: "Hongxing, come and help me with Nianci."

Yao Nianci pushed Yu Jiaxi and Hongxing away and said sadly: "Jiaxi, Hongxing, don't worry about me. My foot was injured. If you take me with you, don't think about living. You can go away quickly." As Yao Nianci said, she burst into tears and said, "Jiaxi, if you have the chance to see Achu again, tell him that no matter what I have done, he is the only one in my heart."

"Nianci, I will never leave you alone. You should tell your Achu yourself." Yu Jiaxi insisted on supporting Yao Nianci, and said to Hongxing, "Hongxing, support Nianci tightly, let's go."

As they spoke, the two veterans had already caught up with the group of Japanese soldiers. The other party not only had two crooked machine guns, but also four grenade launchers. Although the two veterans of the National Army had experienced many battles and had extremely rich combat experience, they were still beaten by the Japanese soldiers without any resistance and kept retreating deep into the alley.

With two veterans fighting to the death to cut off the rear, Yu Jiaxi and the others finally escaped from the alley without any danger.

After leaving the alley, there is a street with bullet craters everywhere. There are a large number of broken bricks and rubble scattered around the craters, and there are all over the ground. There are collapsed or semi-collapsed broken walls on both sides of the street. There is even a tank car with broken tracks. The body is painted with a blue sky and a sun logo, which is actually a tank car of the National Army.

The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and there were fires that were not burned out among the ruins. Everything showed that the Japanese had been bombed by the Japanese army, and the Japanese corpses lying all over the ground, which also showed that a fierce battle broke out here, and the Japanese army was defeated.

When Yu Jiaxi and the others were stunned, the roof of the tank suddenly opened, and a tank soldier poked his head out from inside and shouted at Yu Jiaxi and the others: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Come here, come here quickly! Come there and hide, hurry up!"

Yu Jiaxi and the others woke up like a dream, and quickly ran towards the direction guided by the tank soldiers, and then hid in a ruin.

After a while, two blood-covered veterans staggered out of the alley. The tank soldiers did not make any sound this time, but made no gestures to the two veterans. The two veterans suddenly showed surprise on their faces. They turned around and shot a few random shots in the alley and turned around and ran to a half-decay opposite.

The tank soldier shrank back again, and the circular turret also turned slightly toward the angle.

Soon, the twenty Japanese soldiers chased out of the alley. Seeing the two veterans of the national army running towards a collapsed Western church, they chased after them without hesitation. The disarrayed streets and the "scrapped" national army tank did not arouse their alert, because in the Nanjing City, such a scene was already common.

However, even though it did not arouse alert, Orihito still maintained its attack formation, with frontal pursuit and flanking protection, and the fire support team stayed at the end, and the distance between individual soldiers and individual soldiers was very large to effectively ensure that they could respond quickly when they were ambushed and minimize casualties as much as possible.

But it is very regrettable that this time, Xiaoji Wuben met a group of clever hunters

When the Japanese fire support team dragged on the back completely entered the ambush circle, the T26 tank with broken tracks suddenly opened fire, and the 7.62mm caliber front-fired machine gun poured the scorching bullets like water. The Japanese soldiers blocked the trajectory were instantly beaten into sieves.

Immediately afterwards, one remnants of national army emerged from the ruins, from the piles of rubble and broken walls. The Hanyang-made, Czech-style and even Maxim heavy machine guns were built. Various firepowers instantly intertwined into dense fire nets, completely obliterating the more than 20 Japanese soldiers who broke into the ambush circle. The defenseless Japanese soldiers all screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

#############

When the gunshots rang out, Xu Shijiu and the others were sneaking in an alley two blocks away.

When Guo Weiquan heard the gunshots, he was immediately excited and said to Xu Shijiu with anger, "Sir Xu, we are from ours, made in Hanyang, formal, Czech, and Maxim heavy machine gun!"

Cao Mancang also said: "It seems that there are other troops in Nanjing City that are resisting.

Gao Shenxing and the twenty-six veterans of the guard company also turned their heads and looked at Xu Shijiu. Xu Shijiu raised Browning without hesitation and pressed forward without a gun, and said loudly: "Brothers, go!"

When Xu Shijiu and the others arrived, the battle was over.

Under the rapid firepower of the national army, more than 20 days of unmanned soldiers were quickly piled up.

When they saw Xu Shijiu and the others approaching, more than 40 remnants of the National Army who were cleaning the battlefield were nervous at first, but when they found out that they were friendly troops, they all came up in surprise. Since yesterday, they have been in this block for a day and a night, and during this period, they have also taken in more than a dozen defeated soldiers, but have not encountered the established defeated soldiers.

Xu Shijiu stepped forward and asked, "Who is the highest officer here?"

A remnant soldier carrying the rank of captain came forward and replied loudly: "Report to the sir, it's me."

Xu Shijiu glanced at the captain and said in a deep voice: "Report your name, position, and army number."

The captain realized his rudeness and quickly stood up and replied loudly: "Report to the commander, Liao Erwa, the captain and commander of the 3rd Company of the 672nd Regiment of the 112th Division of the National Revolutionary Army."

"Northeast Army?" Xu Shijiu said, "Hasn't the order to retreat been issued long ago? Why is it just a river?"

Xu Shijiu was not aware of the tragedy that happened at Xiaguan Wharf. He guessed that the retreat order would lead to a tragedy, but he never thought it would be so tragic. In fact, the troops who chose to cross the river from Xiaguan Wharf were too few ferries and the organizational chaos, in the end, only Song Xilian's 36th Division was able to cross the river.

The remaining troops retreating to Xiaguan Wharf, such as the 87th Division, 88th Division, 103rd Division, 112th Division, the Gendarmerie Corps and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps (the 74th Army crossed the river from Sanhankou, the 2nd Corps crossed the river from Wulong Mountain, the Guangdong Army 66th Army, the 83rd Army broke through from Tangshan and Mengtang, and did not go to Xiaguan Wharf), and basically did not cross the river.

"Cross the river?" Liao Erwa shook his head and said tragically, "When our master arrived at Xiaguan Wharf, the boards on the wharf have long been gone. How can we cross the river?"

"If you haven't crossed the river, where are your division's large troops?"

"They all scattered, some hid, some changed into common people's clothes and fled into the safe area, and some had already left the city to surrender to Xiaoji Wuben. The troops of thousands of people dispersed in a gust of wind."

Speaking of surrender, Xu Shijiu remembered the hundreds of defeated soldiers who would rather surrender than take up weapons again to fight with Xiaoji Wuben. Compared with the two, although the dozens of defeated soldiers were few, their bones were much harder. He couldn't help but ask: "Where are you, why don't you surrender?"

Liao Erwa didn't say anything, but the expression on her face was a little wrong.

The dozens of remaining soldiers were silent, obviously unwilling to answer this question. There was only one soldier who seemed to be at most sixteen or seventeen years old and replied heartlessly: "Sir, we are joking. Why don't we behave well for Xiao Ri to be a dog?"
