[This chapter has been significantly changed, please understand]
It's dawn.
Danger has also come.
Japanese aircraft...
Both the 10th Artillery Regiment and the Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment were extremely nervous.
I was much more nervous than yesterday when I fired the gun.
Last night I was beating someone up. Now I am going to be beaten.
The most fearful thing about large-caliber artillery is encountering aircraft.
If you encounter an airplane, you will die.
You have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
There is no way to hide it.
Twelve large-caliber howitzers, there is no place to hide.
Unless Shen Jiang...
That is of course impossible.
what to do?
Cold salad...
"Withdraw!"
Zhang Yong issued an order to the 10th Artillery Regiment.
Jinling is hopeless. It is useless for the 10th Artillery Regiment to stay.
While the nearby Zhongshan Pier can still be used, all these heavy weapons must be withdrawn, including those 20mm machine guns.
"withdraw!"
"withdraw!"
The 10th Artillery Regiment immediately became busy.
The anti-aircraft artillery regiment was also busy.
Everyone was hurriedly dismantling the cannon and moving it.
Those who have cars use cars to tow them.
If there is no car, animal power or human towing is used.
Move to the nearby Zhongshan Terminal and then ship.
It takes a lot of time.
It requires a lot of manpower.
If the Japanese planes attack at this time...
Not saved.
He can only be beaten passively.
Oh, some of the anti-aircraft artillery regiments still left cover.
If Japanese planes arrive, Zhang Yong will personally take command and shoot down as many as they can.
However, the Japanese aircraft did not appear.
On the other hand, more and more Japanese invaders are entering the city, and the edges of the radar map are all red dots.
The nearest red spot is less than three kilometers away from Yancang Bridge.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da..."
The 67th Army is exchanging fire with the Japanese invaders.
The Japanese invaders, who were blocked, did not launch a violent attack for the time being.
Yancang Bridge is safe for the time being.
However, outside the defense lines, there was ruthless killing everywhere.
A large number of ordinary people fled into the defense zone of the 67th Army in fear. Those who ran fast were saved. Those who ran slowly were brutally killed.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Yong personally carried the gun into battle.
Kill the Japanese invaders who emerge.
The people nearby fled in a hurry.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Zhang Yong shouted loudly.
Only one can be saved. Don't even think about the others.
Suddenly, a small group of armed white dots was discovered and was attacked by many red dots. The situation was dangerous.
There are a few white dots inside for markings.
After checking, I found out that it was actually Li Shizhen, the director of the Police Department.
surprise.
Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen actually came here.
He was the director of the Police Department, but he didn't run away? He didn't evacuate Jinling from Xiaguan Pier?
It's terrible...
Even Li Shizhen didn't run away, so you can imagine the others.
He hurriedly brought people up to meet him.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da..."
A storm of bullets drove back the Japanese invaders.
Li Shizhen was immediately relieved when she found out it was him. Then she almost collapsed.
The people around him hurriedly helped him up and then hurriedly entered the safe area.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Yong asked slowly.
"It's over, it's over, everything is over..." Li Shizhen seemed numb.
His eyes were filled with fear.
As he spoke, his body was still shaking involuntarily.
Obviously, the director of the police department was frightened. He may have seen some extremely terrifying scenes.
"Who is that? Tell me. What's going on?"
"Reporting to the commissioner, we received the order to retreat, but it was already too late. The Xiaguan Pier was all occupied by troops. It was a mess. There were even shots fired between different troops. We couldn't get close at all..."
"Then what?"
"Then we headed west, trying to find other docks to cross the river..."
"What did you see?"
"The Japanese invaders are killing people like crazy. There are corpses everywhere. Adults, children..."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong then shut up.
Hell on earth! Even Li Shizhen was so frightened.
You can imagine what kind of blood there is outside the defense zone. I don't dare to see it. I don't even dare to think about it.
With great difficulty, Li Shizhen finally regained a little bit of her anger.
His lips were slightly open, but he stopped talking.
Zhang Yong then waved his hand and told others to move away.
"Say it."
"Thank you for saving me..."
"No need to say more polite words. If you want to thank me, simply give me money."
"I know where the money is..."
"where?"
"Japanese Embassy."
"oh?"
"There's a lot of money in it..."
"How do you know?"
"I know a lot of people have sent money in there."
"good."
Zhang Yong immediately raised his eyebrows.
money?
good.
Li Shizhen will indeed do something.
He knew what Zhang Yong liked, so he decisively prescribed the right medicine.
There is no doubt that the other party's information is absolutely true. There must be many people quietly sending money to the Japanese invaders.
Why?
Of course, we are preparing for a retreat.
Secretly communicating with the Japanese invaders and preparing for a "new life" in the future.
At that time, the pro-Japanese faction was still very powerful in the middle and upper levels of the government. Wang Jingwei was just one of their representatives.
The Japanese invaders worked intensively in China for decades, cultivating a large number of traitors and winning over many people.
Many people are hidden pro-Japanese faction and have inextricable connections with the Japanese invaders. At critical moments, they will betray the interests of the country and the nation.
Therefore, objectively speaking, it was quite difficult for Chiang Kai-shek. The entire government was like a sieve.
No wonder the subsequent assessment was quite lenient towards him. It was considered a great achievement that he persisted in not surrendering.
Indeed, there is no need for him to do anything. It is enough to insist on not surrendering.
"This is the list..."
"About what?"
"You can make money."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong reached out and took it.
I found that many of the names above are familiar.
Why is it familiar?
Suspected to be a traitor.
He usually engages in pro-Japanese behavior overtly or covertly.
However, Zhang Yong has not yet captured any valid evidence and has no time to deal with it.
"are you sure?"
"Now, the Japanese invaders have entered the city. These people will soon get on the line with the Japanese invaders, and then become members of the traitor maintenance society."
"Understood."
Zhang Yong put the list away and hid it.
That's right. After the Japanese invaders captured Jinling, they would definitely set up a maintenance committee.
When the time comes, those who will serve as maintenance committee members will undoubtedly be traitors. You will definitely not go wrong by attacking them. You will be sure to catch them all.
"Let's go!"
"good."
Send Li Shizhen away.
More people arrived in fear.
Shoot for cover.
Drive out the Japanese invaders.
I accidentally saw a yellow figure from the back. A tall, slim woman with flowing hair.
Qi Qingluan?
Zhang Yong's mind moved.
She hasn’t left yet? She’s doing some knitting!
Unorganized and undisciplined...
Want to die?
Suddenly, the woman was shocked when she saw her whole body, and then she fell to the ground paralyzed.
Deadly!
She was hit.
Zhang Yong rushed out in a hurry.
He came to the woman and helped her up.
As a result, it was discovered that the other party was not Qi Qingluan, but a strange woman.
Also young.
Equally pretty.
However, the bullet of sin hit her in the heart.
"Save me..."
She made a weak sound.
She tried hard to catch Zhang Yong. Unfortunately, she failed.
The next moment, her arms hung down limply.
dead.
There was no more sound.
The blood spilled from the corner of his mouth stained the yellow dress red.
Like a lily broken in the wind.
Zhang Yong silently carried her back to the back of the defense zone.
well……
He reached out and touched her eyes.
Go to sleep...
Suddenly my mind moved.
The air traffic controller warned that an aircraft was coming from the west.
west?
airplane?
What to do?
Check it out and find it is a BA65 attack aircraft.
Huh?
What is it here to do?
Are you planning to defect? Want to join the Japanese invaders?
Otherwise, what are you doing here at this time? It’s not to support the Jinling battlefield!
Now that Jinling has fallen, what's the use of coming here!
traitor!
Mudd!
"Lei Xinghu!"
"arrive!"
"Aircraft gun on alert!"
"yes."
Lei Xinghu agreed but was confused at the same time.
What's going on?
Is it a Japanese plane attacking?
Instantly, everyone became nervous.
Especially the 10th Artillery Regiment which was being loaded onto the ship.
If the Japanese planes arrive at this time, they will sink the people, guns and ships into the Yangtze River.
"It's a plane coming from the west."
"It's a plane from the National Air Force. There's only one."
Zhang Yong explained loudly.
This relieved the highly tense atmosphere.
The 10th Artillery Regiment continued loading.
Lei Xinghu:???
My own plane?
Why be on guard?
After a long time, I finally realized a little bit of the truth.
Could it be...
Don't dare to think too much.
All obey the orders of the Commissioner.
If you say hit, hit.
If the Commissioner ordered the artillery fire, it was definitely not one of our own.
On a chaotic battlefield, anything can happen.
There had been a defection incident in the National Air Force before. It seems that the Commissioner personally went to Tianjin Guards to catch the traitor and then executed him.
Now that Jinling has fallen and the demons are dancing wildly, anything can happen.
Zhang Yong was silent.
Monitor closely.
The BA65 fighter jet is getting closer and closer.
As it approached Jinling, it began to lower its altitude and seemed to be landing at Longjiang Airport?
this……
Maybe it's a misunderstanding.
Since the other party landed at Longjiang Airport, he is definitely not a traitor.
Longjiang Airport is a temporarily opened small airport, which was the original Longjiang Shipyard. The runway length is only 300 meters.
Because Daxiaochang Airport had long been targeted by Japanese aircraft and bombed early, the National Army secretly built Longjiang Airport.
Although it is said to be an airport, it is actually very simple and does not have complete supporting facilities.
It's an emergency landing.
Or take off in an emergency.
At present, Daqiaochang Airport has been controlled by the Japanese invaders.
If the National Air Force wants to land in Jinling, it can only use Longjiang Airport. The risk is still very high.
curious……
Who is coming?
What is the purpose of adventurous landing?
"Commissioner..."
"It's one of our own. Lift the alert."
"yes."
"Xiao Yan, let's go to Longjiang Airport. It's the former site of Longjiang Shipyard."
"yes."
Zhang Yong and his people hurried to Longjiang Airport.
The BA65 fighter jet has landed and parked outside the runway. It rushed more than 20 meters.
Fortunately, we haven't completely hit the building at the end.
The aircraft should be in good condition.
The pilot stands outside the plane.
He is a young man. He is very young. He has good features and looks like a good boy.
More importantly, Zhang Yong discovered that this little guy should be a novice.
It's the kind of person who has just learned to take off and land.
Then, something big happened.
It actually flew to Jinling and landed at Longjiang Airport.
New to this?
Old bird?
A contradictory combination.
Seeing Zhang Yong arriving, the other party immediately stood at attention and saluted.
"Sir!"
"What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Meng Yufan."
"What did you come to Jinling for?"
"Sending you a plane."
"Send a plane?"
"right."
"..."
Zhang Yong was silent.
Send a plane to yourself?
What's the meaning?
Who means that?
"Who asked you to send it?"
"have no idea."
"What?"
"I got lost. So I came to Jinling."
"Oh, lost..."
Zhang Yong understood.
There are some things that the other party cannot elaborate on.
In other words, the other party may not be able to describe clearly the truth behind it.
In short, there must be someone who asked him to fly the plane to Jinling and then land accurately at Longjiang Airport...
etc……
"Do you know this airport?"
"have no idea."
"Then how did you find this place?"
"My dad is engaged in shipping. This old shipyard site was bought by my family."
"So, you are familiar with this place?"
"Yes. I come here often. I can find it with my eyes closed."
"I see."
Zhang Yong nodded, stopped asking, and started checking the plane.
Sure enough, the plane was in good condition. But the fuel was almost exhausted and it didn't have any weapons.
Being able to "send" the plane over is already very impressive. Don't expect anything else.
What's more, Zhang Yong has everything else.
There is oil.
Ammunition is available.
There are also 12.7mm large-caliber machine guns.
With only a few modifications, this fighter jet can be put into use at night.
Why put it into use at night?
Because he will be discovered during the day, and then he will be beaten up by a group, and then he will die.
"Has your family evacuated Jinling?"
"Withdrawn."
"Okay. I'll arrange for you to evacuate to Jiangbei immediately. But don't go back to your original army for the time being."
"Everything is at your discretion."
"You know me?"
"It was the order you issued that gave me the opportunity to join the Air Force."
