: After all, it’s better to rely on yourself

I remember that in later generations, there was a widely circulated mystery in the Battle of Nanjing, which was the mysterious disappearance of a regiment of the Sichuan Army in Qinglong Mountain.

According to the later Maqun in the east suburbs of Nanjing, some old people in the Baishuiqiao area recalled that the heaviest losses were a certain division of the Sichuan Army that came from afar. They lacked food and clothing, were hungry and cold, but they were still eager to fight and were not afraid of the enemy. However, their bullets were mostly inferior and unbearable to use. How could the flesh and blood of the officers and soldiers resist the crazy Japanese invaders? More than half of the casualties in the defense battle were killed or injured, and almost all the troops were wiped out. The division had a regiment, who was ordered to serve as the guard task of the Beijing-Hangzhou National Highway on the left wing of the main position, and did not participate in the battle directly. After the defeat in the war, the commander of the regiment led more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the regiment to march southward and retreated to the Qinglong Mountain area that stretched for more than ten miles, but disappeared from then on, without a trace and could not be found again.

There are also many underground caves in Qinglong Mountain, and many of them are very deep and reach the belly of the mountain. Meng Xiang estimated that they might have hid in underground caves, but because they were not prepared, lack of food and wear, or even lack of clean groundwater, or were lost in the underground maze, they were wiped out.

Meng Xiang had visited several caves of various sizes there in later generations. If the officers and soldiers who rushed there did not break out of the encirclement in time, it would be good to temporarily settle there with the help of the mountains. So at the beginning, in addition to setting up a larger logistics supply point there, three contact personnel led by Ma Wu were also arranged to lurk near Qinglong Mountain, waiting to contact them.

But when I heard that there was a Sichuan delegation, Meng Xiang's inner excitement cleared the darkness for days, and an impulse to uncover the fog of history, which made him immediately urge Ma Wu to contact them quickly.

Unfortunately, Ma Wu and the others missed the Sichuan Army. When they first came into contact, they were driven back by the guard's bullets. Ma Wu and the others' military uniforms were a little strange, and Meng Xiang forgot to explain, but the rigid clone did not notice it.

It was not until Ma Wu informed Meng Xiang on the radio station he carried that Meng Xiang noticed his mistake.

In the end, Ma Wu and others found several military uniforms nearby and then contacted them. But the alert Sichuan Army had already hidden and could not be found.

Fortunately, there was a dog warrior with him. With some clues, it took four or five days to finally find the team.

But when this team was found, there were only about 1,300 people left in the team.

Some people were killed by hunger and injuries, but the biggest threat was drinking water. In the cave where they were hiding, there was nothing unusual when the groundwater was just taken. It only occurred three days later. People who took the groundwater had diarrhea and pain. Due to lack of medical treatment and medicine, many weak people died.

Fortunately, the leader Wu Xinhua, who led the team, was still a little vigilant and did not let everyone continue to drink. Some people survived the four or five days with the water they carried.

Not only was it a drinking water problem, but as the supply was missing, people with different opinions started to have internal conflicts. When Ma Wu contacted them, it was when Wu Xinhua had just suppressed the civil strife, but only more than 900 people were left in their team.

When these people met with Shu Yi and others who had been resting for a day, Huang Huamin realized that even though they kept retreating in a mess, they were not the worst. Looking at the Sichuan Army who were barefoot, clothes were not covered and their faces were covered, everyone was a little sad. The Sichuan Army who looked like this could only be the fate of cannon fodder, but they still insisted.

Meng Xiang's curiosity made the nearby supplies useful. Although they were still ragged, the Sichuan Army, which had supplemented food and water, was undoubtedly much more energetic.

"Or what if I wait for another day?" Huang Huamin looked at the still tired Sichuan Army and couldn't help but hesitate.

"You can't wait any longer. At this time, the Japanese army is gathering towards Nanjing City. There are many loopholes at this time. I'm afraid that once Nanjing City is stable, it will be even more difficult to break through the periphery." Shi Yi said firmly.

"Cough! No problem, we can still hold on!" Wu Xinhua was thin and her cheeks were a little flushed due to the violent cough.

"Okay! Then let's talk about how we need to divide the troops!" said Shi Yi again.

"Divide the troops?" Everyone was a little surprised. Now that nearly 10,000 people gathered together, it was possible to play a greater role.

"Someone needs to go back to Nanjing to save people!" Huang Huamin had read the plan of the Pioneer Army. This was just a place to settle down, and their purpose was to return to Nanjing. Today, when he heard the radio contact, Nanjing City was already a hell on earth.

Everyone was silent. Everyone heard the news from the radio station, and they were sad for the others while rushing to be lucky.

"I'll go!" Kong Ci stood up first. He was lucky enough to survive with Shi Yi, but he left more than 200 corpses of comrades who had not yet completely buried his comrades on Wulong Mountain.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!" Everyone began to ask for their orders.

Finally, after some discussion, Shi Yi and Hu Yi, with more than 8,000 people, including the Sichuan Army, immediately continued to break through. Huang Huamin and Kong Ci led nearly 2,000 people to take another day or two rest, and then return to Zijin Mountain through the tunnel. The exit there was hidden, and then disguised. They contacted them through the radio station. The left-behind personnel reported that there were no traces of the Japanese army nearby.

"I'm afraid that saving people will be another hard fight!" Kong Ci sighed after Shu Yi and others left.

Huang Huamin smiled and said, "Look at this plan, the Pioneer Army has already made arrangements. Now we only need to contact Battalion Commander Niu, no, it's Commander Niu!" As he said that, he handed him a thick plan that was passed by Fan Zhongrun.

"Uncle Liu ran away!" Mitsui Kazuo crawled and knelt in front of Prince Asaka.

"If you run away, run away! Keep killing! Haven't you done it in Manchuria? When the corpses are piled up in Jinling City, even if you can't break the fortune, you will be frightened by the Chinese people. Many of them will fall in love with the wind!" A cold voice came out of the quiet room.

Meng Xiang was walking back and forth in the command center, and messages came one by one, and a lot of them were piled up on the desk next to him. But he didn't look at any of them, just asked Shi Er to read them in his cold tone. Once something terrible happened that scared him, he immediately waved his hand and stopped mentioning it. But even so, he also heard about the tragic things one by one.

"I spent a lot of money to repeatedly broadcast the Japanese atrocities on European and American radio. Didn't the Japanese react to the international community? Didn't the Japanese resignate some? " Meng Xiang said angrily.

"Governments are paying attention, and some organizations have spoken and condemned them, but the Japanese government has been pushing and investigating!" Shi Er said calmly.

"Bully investigation! What's the use of investigation? Isn't anyone really there to take care of it?" Due to the frequent and active interference of many human rights organizations in later generations, Meng Xiang always felt that Western civilized people had to take care of the massacres due to their face. The news was blocked in the previous life, but he was prepared in advance and collected a large amount of information early on and spread it to Europe and the United States. But the facts told him that condemnation could never solve the problem.

"Ah! Ah! Ah..." Meng Xiang screamed depressedly, and Shi Er waited calmly by his side.
