Seeing Suri's determined expression, Tabitha shook her head helplessly, and said with a helpless smile: "A country? Yes, you are lucky, at least you still have a country that you can fight for!"
Suri smiled slightly, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Tabitha, you don't have to be sad. I believe that you Jews will have your own country in the near future."
After finishing speaking, Su Rui said secretly in his mind: "Although it is a country built on land snatched from other people's hands."
But the pastor obviously only regarded Suri's words as a word of comfort and said in a low mood: "Really, thank you for your kind words."
Seeing that Tabitha was not in a high mood, Suri said nothing more. He turned to the soldiers around him and said: "Okay, now everyone has eaten and drank enough. Follow Platoon Leader Lin and carry all the machine guns."
Go upstairs and settle down, the Japanese may attack at any time, if we are more prepared now, we will have a better chance of survival, do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
Su Rui nodded with satisfaction, and the soldiers responded, which sounded quite neat. After he changed their uniforms, the soldiers looked at him with real respect.
"Okay, let's all go!"
Suri waved his hand and asked Lin Shiqian and the others to go out to make preparations. He said to Tabitha: "Pastor Tabitha, the Japanese are going to attack at any time. Now you quickly let the female students in the hall hide in a safe place.
Go to, for example, a cellar or a safe place, or take them and leave immediately!"
Su Rui's expression was very sincere. He knew very well what Nanjing would be like in the coming days, so he also hoped that the Jewish priest in front of him could leave Nanjing with the female students below, because Su Rui estimated that the guards guarding Yijiang Gate would
The Thirty-sixth Division will not embarrass these students.
Unexpectedly, Tabitha lowered her head sadly and said with a bitter expression: "Mr. Major, it is impossible to leave the city. Your General Tang Shengzhi has issued an order that no one in Nanjing City is allowed to leave the city. We must live and die with Nanjing."
"What?" Su Rui was shocked, "Can't even civilians leave the city? You must know that they are all non-combatants. They should not stay here to wait for death. This also violates international humanitarian regulations!"
"International Humanitarianism?"
Tabitha first glanced at Suri in astonishment, and then showed approval in her eyes, "Major, this is the first time I have heard this word of yours, but you said it very well. This is indeed against the nationality law.
spirit, such an order is extremely ridiculous and illegal."
"Well......"
Only then did Su Rui realize that the term "international humanitarianism" had not yet been invented. The so-called international humanitarianism refers to a group that tries to limit the impact of armed conflicts within a certain range for humanitarian reasons.
The general name of a series of rules. It protects people who have not participated or no longer participate in hostilities, and restricts the means and methods of combat. International humanitarianism is also called the law of war or the law of armed conflict. In another time and space, it was established in 1919
It was only born in 1949, and it's not there yet.
"Tang Shengzhi is confused!"
Su Rui was so angry that he cursed. Originally, he thought that Tang Shengzhi blocked the river just to prevent the defeated troops from escaping. Now it seems that in order to express his determination to live and die with Nanjing, he actually wanted to prevent all soldiers and civilians from leaving the city, including ordinary people.
, didn’t he lose his head?
Su Rui in later generations only knew that the Nanjing tragedy at that time resulted in the tragic death of 300,000 innocent civilians. Unexpectedly, there was such a reason. No wonder this old boy ran away from Nanjing and went to hide in Hunan and never dared to show his face again.
There is another reason for feelings.
But now is no longer the time to pursue this. Since Tabitha said this, he will definitely not lie to himself. The key question now is what to do with these female students? Although Suri just talked to the girl whose face was covered with black ash
The oval-faced female students were quite noisy, but that didn't mean he wanted to see them fall into the hands of the brutal Japanese.
After thinking about it, Suri could only say helplessly: "Let's do this, Mr. Tabitha, since this place will become a battlefield sooner or later, then those female students must learn to adapt to it, and I will ask the soldiers to use the ammunition later.
What do you think about carrying it down below and letting these female students try to help us load bullets and move ammunition?"
"Oh, God!" Tabitha's eyes were as big as bells.
"Do you want these innocent students to be involved in this war? This is absolutely not possible!"
"They are already involved!" Su Rui's expression was very cold: "This war is related to China's national destiny. None of us can escape. For example, I..."
Speaking of this, Su Rui felt very helpless. After graduating from college and living in Nanjing for three years, he had nothing. He originally wanted to return home and rely on the more than ten acres of farmland at home, but he didn't expect that he would end up here.
Come on. Sometimes he wonders if God is displeased with him and has tortured him for three years. It's not enough, and it wants to throw him into this time and space to continue torturing him.
Seeing Suri's helpless look, Tabitha showed understanding. He patted Suri's arm and said sympathetically: "Mr. Major, I understand, but some things are not based on personal will.
Since you can't escape, just face it calmly! Well, I will go down and talk to the students and ask them to do their best."
Su Rui nodded: "That's my trouble! Also, you can ask those students to wash their faces. If the Japanese really come in, it will be useless no matter how black they smear their faces."
After saying that, Suri picked up a Garand rifle from beside him, stuffed six or seven magazines and a few grenades into his pocket, turned to Wang Dezi who was carrying things with several soldiers in the distance and shouted
He said: "Wang Dezi, call a few brothers and ask Wu Dali to bring a machine gun and go out with me."
"yes!"
Tabitha asked in surprise: "Mr. Major, are you going out? You know it's very dangerous outside!"
"Of course I know." Su Rui pointed at the soldiers around him and grinned, showing his white teeth: "You don't really think that just relying on these dozens of soldiers can stop the Japanese attack, do you?
Are you sure the food here is really enough for us to eat for ten days and a half?"
Night still shrouded the earth. Su Rui led Wang Dezi, machine gunner Wang Dali and six or seven soldiers, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking on the street full of bomb craters.
After only walking for an hour, Su Rui felt a cry coming out of his back. He looked around and asked quietly: "Wang Dezi, you are familiar with this place. What kind of place is this?"
Wang Dezi, who was following him closely, looked around and looked into the distance for a while, then pointed to the northwest and said: "Sir, that's the Ministry of Railways building over there. After passing the Ministry of Railways building, go two miles to the west.
It’s Guanghuamen.”
As soon as Wang Dezi finished speaking, there was an explosion in the direction of Guanghua Gate, the flames continued to billow, smoke columns towered high in the air, and gunshots rang out.
Su Rui looked at it silently for a while and sighed: "Guanghuamen won't last long!"
No one around answered. After a while, Wang Dezi whispered: "When we ran down yesterday, we saw that the brothers of the Eighty-seventh Division had taken over, but the Japanese artillery fire was too powerful. We didn't know that the Eighty-seventh Division had taken over."
How long can the brothers of the division hold on?" At this point, Wang Dezi stopped saying anything, and the soldiers around him were also silent. Apparently they all thought of the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
Su Rui sighed lightly. He knew that these soldiers were brave. Their courage was not necessarily worse than those of the Japanese beasts. It was just that they were far different from the Japanese army in terms of weapons, equipment, and command. They had no choice but to
I chose to escape. Modern war is fought not only with courage and will, but also with steel.
Finally, Su Rui broke the silence: "Okay, everyone, don't think too much. The most important thing for us now is to find some broken troops and gather them up. Otherwise, we won't be able to hold on with more than thirty people."
Church, everyone come with me now."
After saying that, Suri led the nine soldiers towards the northwest...
