Taking advantage of the short break of the ceasefire, the remaining dozens of remaining soldiers of the National Army were catching up on drinking water and resting, and in addition, they were collecting weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Japanese army on the battlefield without any medicine.

The war has its own iron laws. Although the remnants of the Kuomintang repelled the Japanese attack and wiped out more than 100 enemies, the Kuomintang was not a heavenly soldier and general. They also paid a heavy price. Originally, the national army still had more than 70 remaining soldiers, but in one battle, there were only less than 30 people left, including six seriously injured.

In other words, Xiao Ri Wuben's morale was already depressed. Otherwise, as long as they plucked up their courage to attack again, the remnants of the national army would definitely not be able to withstand it. Even if Gao Shenxing, the killing god, was there, it would not work. A person's power was limited after all, and no matter how good his shooting skills were, he would not be able to turn the world. If Xiao Ri Wuben was close to him, just one grenade would be enough to solve him.

Looking at the six seriously injured people who were carried together, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but feel sad. Cao Mancang was also among them. In the final counterattack, a jumper hit his forehead. The warhead penetrated his forehead and wedged deeply into his head. Cao Mancang has not yet died yet, which is already a miracle.

Of course, there is even more miracle. Xu Shijiu still has a warhead in his mind.

What made Xu Shijiu extremely sad was that he could only watch these seriously injured people die slowly in pain. The feeling of powerlessness and guilt that could only watch their comrades die, really makes people crazy. Even though Xu Shijiu had trained a steel-like will in countless cycles of life and death, he still felt heartbreaking.

At this time, a dying wounded man suddenly told Xu Shijiu that a military doctor was hiding from the church cellar.

The wounded was one of the two military police officers responsible for escorting Yu Jiaxi. The other military police had already died in the battle just now. The military police told Xu Shijiu that Xu Shijiu quickly asked someone to look for him. In fact, Xu Shijiu knew in his heart that there was no medicine and no surgery, and even if a military doctor was hired, he could not save these seriously injured people.

But as a human being, sometimes we need a comfort, a hint that we have tried our best.

Otherwise, if this guilt and guilt accumulate over the years, Xu Shijiu would really have a steely will and would eventually collapse.

But Xu Shijiu didn't expect that it was Yu Jiaxi who came.

"Jiaxi?" Looking at Yu Jiaxi walking out of the broken walls, Xu Shijiu's expression was obviously a little dazed.

Yu Jiaxi was about to squat down to observe the injuries of a seriously injured person, but suddenly she heard the call that echoed countless times in her dream. She suddenly trembled like an electric shock. She stood up and turned around. Yes, it was him, Xu Shijiu, the man she had been obsessed with, that cruel man!

Xu Shijiu opened his arms to Yu Jiaxi.

"Ajiu?!" Yu Jiaxi burst into tears in an instant, and then she flew into Xu Shijiu's arms.

The remaining soldiers were not surprised. After reacting, they felt happy for Xu Shijiu and extremely regretful for him. The remaining soldiers were happy because Xu Shijiu was able to meet his lover again in the battle. They regretted that the lovers who had finally met again in the midst of the war would soon face death together.

Yao Nianci, who came here with her, also saw Gao Wushenxing and burst into tears. She also wanted to fall into Gao Shenxing's arms and burst into tears, venting all the grievances, sorrows and lovesickness that had been over the past six months. However, looking at Gao Shenxing's cold face, Yao Nianci did not dare to take this step.

Without even talking about the separation after parting, Xu Shijiu asked Yu Jiaxi to treat the wounded quickly.

Yu Jiaxi began to treat the wounded, but Xu Shijiu summoned the remaining twenty or so soldiers together.

"Brothers, Xiaoji Wuben will definitely not give up after suffering a big loss. He will definitely mobilize more troops to counterattack next, and even tanks and cannons may be transferred. With our more than 20 people plus more than a dozen broken guns, it is impossible to defend it anymore. In short, if you continue to defend, you will only have to die, so we have to transfer as soon as possible."

"Captain Xu, if you want me to say that, don't worry about that, just fight with Xiaojiwuben here." The person who spoke was Guo Weiquan, the guard company commander of Feng Shengfa. After the battle just now, there were only six of the twenty-six veterans in the guard company. This Shandong man from the Zhijun army was already angry with Xiaojiwuben.

The guards even agreed, saying that they no longer care about life or death, and now they just want to take revenge.

"No." Xu Shijiu refused flatly, "We must not give up the hope of life before the situation becomes uncontrollable. Brothers, our purpose is not to die in Nanjing to seek peace of mind. Our purpose is to kill more Japanese devils, and only by living can we kill more Japanese devils, so we have to live!"

Yu Jiaxi's accident appeared and sent Xu Shijiu's strong desire to survive.

Then Xu Shijiu said again: "What's more, there must be some remaining soldiers like us who are still resisting in the city. We have to gather these brothers scattered in the city of Nanjing and continue to fight with Xiao Riben."

Guo Weiquan and several veterans of the Guard Company remained silent, obviously they were persuaded.

Xu Shijiu turned his attention to Liao Erwa, the company commander of the Northeast Army. Liao Erwa quickly expressed his opinion: "Sir, your brothers have seen all your abilities just now. You can lead the remaining soldiers of No. 60 or 70 to defeat more than 200 Japanese-free officers. You are the first one. I didn't say anything. My brothers all listen to you. You can do whatever you say."

"Okay, let me hear it all." Xu Shijiu Leng Jun's eyes flashed across the faces of the remaining 20 remaining soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "Bring the wounded and the equipment, and transfer immediately!"

Yang Qing is the major staff officer of the Nanjing Gendarmerie Corps Command. In the sequence of retreats issued by the Nanjing Garrison Command on the 12th, the Nanjing Gendarmerie Corps Command and all the party, government and military organs left behind in Nanjing belong to the first batch. However, after Xiao Shanling, acting commander of the Nanjing Gendarmerie Corps, walked to Xiaguan Wharf, he changed his mind.

This is because after the order to abandon Nanjing was issued, the 71st Army, 72nd Army, 103rd Division, 112th Division, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps and hundreds of thousands of Nanjing citizens rushed to Xiaguan Wharf, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians rushed to cross the river. The situation was already in chaos. From Yijiangmen to Xiaguan Wharf, there were crowds of people, shouting at the sky and howling. How could the word "chaotic" be?

Some soldiers fired their guns at will and caused chaos, causing countless soldiers and civilians to trample on each other!

Xiaoshan Ling decisively dispatched troops to condemn generals and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of maintaining order in crossing the river. Xiaoshan Ling sent powerful troops to go out to Sheshan and Longpan Mountain to set up defenses to resist the Japanese army approaching Xiaguan Wharf along the south bank of the Yangtze River. At the same time, he sent people to tear down houses and set rafts to assist Nanjing soldiers and civilians stranded on Xiaguan Wharf to cross the river.

However, the situation deteriorated quickly. As Xu Yuanquan's 2nd Army crossed the river in advance and retreated northward, the gateway of the Wulongshan defense line opened. The commander of the Japanese 18th Division rushed in and soon rushed to the vicinity of Xiaguan Wharf. At the critical moment, Chen Jichuan, Yang Qing and several other staff members pushed Xiao Shanling onto the raft several times, but were scolded by Xiao Shanling.

Chen Jichuan pulled out his gun and forced him, but Xiao Shanling was unmoved at all: "The situation is now chaotic, and they only care about escaping their lives. The soldiers and brave men in the city are not obeying commands. The morale of the army and the people cannot be stable. If I leave, the great things will be over. Moreover, the duty of our soldiers is our army. I should serve the country with all my loyalty and guard Nanjing to the death. I have decided, so you don't have to persuade you anymore."

Chen Jichuan, Yang Qing and others had to give up. Xiao Shan ordered the Gendarmerie Corps to repeatedly charge against the Japanese army and launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.

The Chinese and Japanese armies fought bloody battles on the Yangtze River for a full five hours. The military commander's teaching regiment was completely out of ammunition, and most of the officers and soldiers died in battle. The Xiaguan Wharf was bleeding into a river. Xiaoshanling was covered in dozens of wounds. At the last moment, he shouted loudly, "Killing oneself to be a good man, today." Then he rushed into the Japanese invaders with a large bundle of grenades, and a loud bang, and the general died for his country!

After Xiao Shanling died in his country, Yang Qing led the remnants back to the city and started street fighting with the Japanese aggressors at Xinjiekou.

As of today, Yang Qing had been at Xinjiekou for two days, and there were only more than 20 people left in his army. He was about to be unable to defend it. Yang Qing summoned the remaining troops and divided each of them with ten dollars to escape separately. However, more than 20 remaining soldiers expressed their desire to fight until the last moment and live and die with Nanjing.

In the midst of blood and fire, these student soldiers had their eyes red and their bloody nature was also killed.

Yang Qing sent a bundle of high-explosion medicine to each remaining soldier, and asked the remaining soldiers to tie them to them in case of rushing towards the Japanese invaders and the enemy at the last moment. Yang Qing also tied the bomb medicine on himself, and then took the remaining troops into the circular barricade outside the headquarters, quietly waiting for the Japanese army's attack again, and waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

In the evening, the Japanese army began another attack on Xinjiekou. The two remaining soldiers in charge of the police first pulled the fuse to rush towards the Japanese invaders. After the huge explosion, the figures of the two remaining soldiers disappeared without a trace. The solid street was also blown up with two large pits. Seven or eight Japanese soldiers disappeared with the remaining soldiers.

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

When the huge explosion came, Xu Shijiu was walking through the nearby alley with more than 100 remaining soldiers.

The previous breakthrough was not smooth. The existence of the three women, Yu Jiaxi, Yao Nianci and Hongxing, caused great difficulties in the entire transfer operation. Seeing that they could not get rid of the Japanese pursuit, Cao Mancang, who knew that he had become a burden, and the other five seriously injured, took the initiative to ask for a break in the rear, winning time for the remaining troops to break through.

Xu Shijiu naturally would not agree. When he took Cao Mancang and other more than 100 seriously injured people to Shanghai, he once swore in front of the old commander's tablet that he would not leave behind any veteran of the 19th Route Army. Over the years, Xu Shijiu has truly achieved no abandonment or giving up.

Cao Mancang put the gun into his mouth without hesitation and threatened that if Xu Shijiu did not agree, he would pull the trigger immediately. The other five seriously injured people also beg for their comrades in tears. They all understood that if they were asked to lead them to break through, the last one would not break out.
