Chapter 185 The Presidential Palace has fallen!

As the location of the highest ruling authority of the Republic of China government, the Presidential Palace has built corresponding emergency shelter passages since the beginning of its construction. Emergency shelter passages such as this were actually very common in later generations, but I only know very little.

At first, Chen Gongshu was given the right to open the emergency shelter channel with Hu Biao. This survival channel that can safely transfer the president in an emergency moment is naturally not qualified to open it.

Now that the Presidential Palace has fallen into ruins, even if Chiang Kai-shek leads his troops back to Jinling to take over the power in the future, he may not be able to enter the Presidential Palace and can only build a new Presidential Palace. Then it is natural that it doesn't matter if he opens an emergency shelter.

If Hu Biao had not decided to stick to the Presidential Palace earlier, I was afraid that Chen Gongshu and his intelligence personnel would have been transferred to the ** to hide. Although this emergency shelter cannot escape from the city, it can ensure that those entering the shelter survive for a certain period of time.

Unless you dig three feet into the ground, or if someone leaks the location of the passage, it is almost impossible to find people hiding in the refuge passage. Unfortunately, the refuge passage can accommodate only a limited number of people, and Chen Gongshu cannot take everyone away.

He frankly found Liu Quan, the company commander of the first company of the military guards, and Qin Tianyou, who was temporarily appointed, to choose one of the two to be responsible for the rear of the palace. In other words, he created an illusion that Hu Biao had already died.

Liu Quan, who knew very well what it meant to stay, chose to stay without hesitation. In Liu Quan's words, he had brothers and children, and even if he died in battle, he would die without regrets. On the other hand, Qin Tianyou was still alone!

Facing Qin Tianyou who was competing for missions with him, Liu Quan, as the company commander, smiled and said, "In terms of military rank, I am higher than you. Chief Hu is in a coma, you must accept my command and orders. So you don't have to argue with me anymore.

Besides, in my guard company, many brothers have already died here. As their company commander, I must stay with them. And I believe that you have a greater role in living than me, so take good care of Commander Hu!"

Liu Quan, who spoke these words, turned around and left calmly. At this moment, Qin Tianyou truly understood why Hu Biao said that sometimes living is more painful than death. At this moment, he finally tasted this kind of taste.

Seeing that Qin Tianyou felt uncomfortable, Chen Gongshu stood up and said, "Prince Qin, don't let Captain Liu down. Time is tight. If you carry your captain, we must also prepare to withdraw!"

"Captain Chen, can you bring Shuanzi's body with you? When we came out of Shanghai, we agreed to never leave us!"

Regarding Qin Tianyou's request, Chen Gongshu thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll make arrangements!"

Considering that there were many people and eyes, Chen Gongshu only selected the sniper team members around Hu Biao, and then selected some soldiers from the guard company. A total of less than 30 people soon arrived in a side courtyard located in the Presidential Palace that was blown down.

The Military Commission personnel waiting in front of the side courtyard came forward at the right time and said, "Director, the passage has been opened, you can go in quickly!"

"Have you arranged the rest of the matter?"

"It's OK! Chief Hu had made a lot of arrangements in advance in the Presidential Palace earlier. We have installed the detonator tube just now. Just when the Japanese army enters the Presidential Palace, we will wait for an opportunity to detonate the explosives buried earlier."

"Okay! Remember, don't be in a hurry. You can slow down at the right time. You must confirm that there is no gunfire at the Presidential Palace. A large number of Japanese soldiers entered the Presidential Palace to conduct searches, and then blew up the buried explosives and let the Japanese soldiers bury them together!"

"Yes, Director!"

The evacuees called by Chen Gongshu were all his confidants, or Hu Biao's confidants. The only exception was the two doctors found by Chen Gongshu, and Lin Yashi, the only woman in the presidential palace.

Entering the underground passage that was opened in advance, Chen Gongshu and others quickly entered it. At this time, outside the presidential palace, there was another fierce exchange of fire. Liu Quan, who succeeded the commander, also announced the false news that Hu Biao was killed in a timely manner.

Even if Liu Quan knew that this news would severely slash the morale of the defenders, at this time, other living soldiers would die sooner or later. What's the point of sacrificing early or later?

"Brothers, Chief Hu has already taken one step ahead. We cannot embarrass the Dead Soldiers Camp. Even if we fight to the last soldier, we must let the Japanese know that if we want to attack the Presidential Palace, we will step over our bodies."

"Fight to death! Fight to death! Kill! Kill!"

The spread of this fake news was more to avoid someone being captured, and to reveal to the Japanese army that Hu Biao was seriously injured but was rescued. Of course, it was more to inspire the remaining soldiers to fight to the death with the attacking Japanese.

Hu Biao, who was unaware of being fainted by the bomb, had been taken away by Chen Gongshu of the Military Control Commission. All the surviving soldiers were once again involved in selfless fights. The Japanese army responsible for the attack launched a strong attack on the Presidential Palace again.

Because of the plane bombing earlier, many machine gun fortresses and positions were blown up, and the Japanese army successfully found the gap to invade the Presidential Palace. However, many Japanese devils did not know that many wounded soldiers were lurking in the ruins of the gap.

Without exception, these wounded soldiers either held the bound explosive bag or were tied with countless grenades. Looking at the Japanese who were pouring in from the gap, the wounded soldiers hiding in the front smiled and said, "Brothers, I'll leave first!"

The wounded soldier, who was talking, then pulled the grenade lead tied to his body, rushed to the collapsed ruins, and then jumped down to the Japanese below with a terrified face. The wounded soldiers who were staying behind before the explosion could still hear the words "Long live the Dead Warrior Camp"!

The soldiers who were catching the time to build blocking fortifications later watched the wounded soldiers who bought time for them, one by one, one by one, bought time for them to rebuild their defensive positions in a suicide-like charge.

Until all the wounded died in the explosion, the soldiers who rebuilt the temporary machine gun position said in tears: "Fight!"

Liu Quan, who succeeded Hu Biao as interim commander, looked at the Japanese army that invaded the Presidential Palace, and also said happily: "Brothers, with so many Japanese burials, we can smile at all!"

After Liu Quan was killed by a wave of grenade launchers by the Japanese, the Japanese troops who had already poured into the Presidential Palace were shocked to find that after breaking through the frontier positions of the Presidential Palace and advancing into the Presidential Palace, they were not blocked.

The blue sky and white sun flag that was hung on the gatehouse of the Presidential Palace had fallen down as early as the bombing. However, at this moment, the positions of the Presidential Palace that had been reduced to ruins, Japanese corpses and a small number of defenders could be seen everywhere.

Standing in the ruins of the collapsed presidential palace gatehouse, looking at the bloody battlefield reflected in the eyes, the two corps captains said at the same time: "These Chinese troops are indeed too tenacious! We suffered too many casualties in this battle!"

Even if the 18th Division wins the final victory, the infantry corps commander who can lead the team to command has no joy of victory at all. On the contrary, looking at the soldiers lying on the ruins, the infantry corps captain can only feel frustrated and defeated.

As for the bodies of the defenders in the ruins, most of them were incomplete. The reason is that even if these defenders had a breath, they would sound the grenades tied to their bodies, allowing the Japanese who were trying to capture and bury them with the Japanese who were approaching them.

Such a fierce blocking battle was shocked by the two corps captains who had participated in countless bloody battles. They knew very well that if every battle they fought with the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops in the next place was like this, they had no chance of winning in this war.

The Japanese who had already invaded the Presidential Palace were all red-eyed without exception. But they still hoped to capture one or two living defenders so that they could vent their anger and resentment.

It was not until a Japanese squad that finally saw two wounded men leaning against countless ammunition boxes in a collapsed house. One of the Japanese instantly said: "Captain, there are two living people here!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the team leader said in horror: "Hurry up, exit the basement! Run!"

The two wounded grinned and said, "Haha, I'm right! There will be Japanese devils who will accompany us on the way. Dad, mother, son cannot support you in your old age, you must live a hundred years!"

With the wounded, with deep thoughts of his family from afar, the basement of the temporary ammunition depot was soon heard. The Japanese squad that had previously searched had no time to escape from the rapidly collapsed basement.

Seeing the building that was blown away, it fell in an instant, and the underground warehouse where the ammunition warehouse was stored instantly turned into a huge hole. Many Japanese soldiers searching nearby were also affected by the explosion waves, and some were even killed by the explosion fragments.

Hearing the explosion from the center, the two team captains said in confusion: "Damn it! Where is there?"

"Listen to the sound of the explosion, it should be the ammunition depot! Didn't anyone find a living?"

"No! These Chinese troops are extremely tenacious, not like the Chinese troops we fought before!"

"Dead Soldiers Camp! It seems that from the beginning, they have been determined to die. Such troops really cannot be kept! By the way, have there been any commander of the Dead Soldiers Camp? Let the soldiers look for it and see if there are any corpses wearing general ranks!"

The Japanese army who had no idea who Hu Biao was, had always mistakenly thought that Hu Biao was a major general, and at the worst, he should have been a school-level officer. Even many Japanese troops who had restrained their bodies began to search for the bodies of the defenders who died on the positions.

Until the Japanese army discovered that Liu Quan, who had been killed by them with a grenade launcher, looked at the lieutenant colonel seal on the opponent's military uniform and the guards who were lying next to him with two pistols, and the Japanese army was immediately as if they had a treasure.

"Could this person be Hu Biao, the battalion commander of Jinling Death Soldiers Camp?"

"It's very likely! Keep the body well and keep it, and then send it back to the division team and hand it over to the Special High School to send someone to identify the identity!"

Perhaps the Japanese army did not realize that as the Jinling Death Soldiers Camp caused them many troubles and casualties in the battle to defend the Presidential Palace, many Japanese soldiers hoped that the commanders of this unit could be eliminated by them.
