On Guanghua Gate, blood ran along the city wall and dyed the moat red.
When Zhou Weiguo woke up, it was already 2 pm on December 12th. Zhou Weiguo silently opened the system interface and found that there were actually 10,000 war points. He couldn't help feeling sad. He looked at the time again and saw that it was already December.
It’s the 12th. Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have been breached by the Japanese army.
Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly. At this time, the senior men at the headquarters should be thinking about retreating. He knew that when the national army gave up resistance, the tens of thousands of troops would be defeated. That is not called a retreat at all.
Retreat is called a rout!
"Huzi!" Zhou Weiguo shouted.
"Hospitality!" Huzi, as Zhou Weiguo's bodyguard, is still very competent, "Are you awake?"
"Brother, you're awake!" Liu San said from the side. This time Zhou Weiguo was injured, Liu San blamed himself very much. He was Zhou Weiguo's bodyguard, but he took leave and went to the city on the night Zhou Weiguo was injured.
"How is the battle going?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
"It's okay on our side." Huzi's tone was a little low, "Guanghuamen is still there, but, brothers, there are less than 800 people alive, and most of them are injured. Now at the Guanghuamen position, most of them are teaching corps
We were responsible for the defense. However, yesterday morning, we used artillery to inflict heavy losses on the Japs, knocking out more than 20 of their bastard vehicles, and then the artillery fire spread out and killed many Japs. Originally, we were responsible for the defense.
After this attack, the Japs' offensive has eased somewhat, but it seems that another division of the Japs has come, and they are charging forward without fear of their lives."
"It's good that you're still here." Zhou Weiguo's tone was also a little low, "Do you have any orders from the headquarters?"
"Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have been lost." Xu Hu said, "The headquarters ordered our troops to retreat into the city tonight, assemble with the large troops, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
"Huzi, go and deliver the order." Zhou Weiguo said, "Where am I?"
"We are in the city rescue team! Madam knows you are injured, but she is also very busy now." Xu Hu said, and then said goodbye to Zhou Weiguo.
"Brother, I'm sorry. If I had been here yesterday, you wouldn't have been injured." Liu San blamed himself.
"Third brother, my brother, what are you talking about?" Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly, "This is fate. Have you taken care of everything?"
"It's all done. I saw that Nanjing couldn't hold on any longer, so I exchanged all the money I had for HSBC bills." Liu Sandao said, "It's all my fault."
"Third brother, I don't blame you. I am a soldier, and it is normal to get injured." Zhou Weiguo said, "What's more, third brother, you are right to handle it this way."
Struggling to get up, Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath. The wounds on his body hurt so much that he could clearly feel the wounds on his left shoulder, entire back and right arm. He smiled bitterly. No wonder he fainted.
, three wounds, it would be strange not to lose too much blood.
"Be careful." Liu San quickly supported Zhou Weiguo.
After a while, Xiao Ya came in.
"Weiguo!" Xiao Ya said excitedly, "Why are you up? Lie down quickly!"
"Xiao Ya, I'm fine." Zhou Weiguo's face was pale at this time, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which was caused by the pain of the wound.
"You're okay!" Xiao Ya almost cried, "You almost died!" Liu San retreated when he saw this.
Zhou Weiguo saw Xiao Ya's eyes were red and panicked. He wanted to wipe away Xiao Ya's tears with his hands, but both hands were injured. He could only watch Xiao Ya cry, "Xiao Ya, I'm fine, don't cry. I
It’s really okay.”
Xiao Ya just looked at Zhou Weiguo and did not dare to hug him. Zhou Weiguo was injured and could not touch him.
Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to shout, "Oh! The wound hurts so much."
"Weiguo," Xiao Ya said with a cry in her voice, bending down, "Which wound hurts?"
"My heart hurts." Zhou Weiguo looked at Xiao Ya's eyes, and he could see the heartache in his eyes, and said, "When you cry, my heart hurts. So, how about you stop crying? I'm really fine."
.”
Xiao Ya bit her lips, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and then said, "Well, I won't cry. Then you lie down and rest, and I'll feed you porridge."
"good."
…
After eating, Zhou Weiguo felt that his whole body was warm.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya, we are retreating tonight. You will be with me in a while, you know?"
"Retreat?" Xiao Ya was a little confused, "Can't we defend it? Didn't we say that Nanjing City can be defended?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly, "Zhonghua Gate and Zhongshan Gate have fallen. We have failed."
"If the troops withdraw, what will happen to the people? What will happen to the wounded?" Xiao Ya asked anxiously.
Zhou Weiguo could only shake his head with a wry smile.
Xiao Ya could only remain silent.
…
1:00 a.m. on December 13, 1937
Zhou Weiguo has completed two missions, one side mission to defend Nanjing. Although the order to retreat was given, the actual retreat time was in the early morning of the 13th, so the mission was considered completed. The other was a plot mission to save Xiao
Ya, at this time, Xiao Ya was able to pack her things and came to Zhou Weiguo's ward.
Outside the city rescue team, there were 321 soldiers standing neatly, but each one was wearing a bandage. Fang Shengli, Xu Hu, and Li Weimin walked into the yard.
"Let's go." Zhou Weiguo looked at everyone and said. Then with Hu Zi's support, he walked out of the courtyard of the city rescue team.
When Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers standing outside the courtyard, his eyes turned red, and then he struggled to take off his hat with his left hand and bowed to them.
Immediately, the soldiers began to sob softly.
An independent brigade finally had more than 300 people left, and everyone else stayed on the position.
"Don't cry!" Zhou Weiguo said in a hoarse voice, "You are all good people. You have not embarrassed me! You have not embarrassed your brothers! You have not embarrassed China! In the Nanjing defense battle, our independent brigade, at least
We have annihilated more than 10,000 Japanese, then stand tall, raise your head, and be upright! We have not lost! Sooner or later, we will fight back!"
"yes!"
…
Immediately, everyone boarded the seven transport vehicles that Zhou Weiguo had exchanged. Each vehicle was equipped with two machine guns.
The car Zhou Weiguo was in had the smallest number of people, but all the cadres above the regimental level were there.
"Where are Zhang Xin, Zheng Yong and Liu Hai?" Zhou Weiguo asked in a low voice. Those were his combat staff, the second regiment commander and the third regiment commander.
"Sacrificed." Fang Shengli said.
"I understand." Zhou Weiguo said, "You all have a good rest and recover from your injuries before you can avenge them."
"Um."
…
Soon, the car drove to Zhongshan Road. It was still the early morning of the 13th, so the road section was relatively smooth. When it got brighter, many troops in the city would retreat along Zhongshan Road to Xianguan Pass, and the two gates on the left and right of Yijiang Gate were blocked.
There was a door in the middle that could pass through, but various ministries fought to pass through it first, refusing to give way to each other. Many people were crushed to death due to the crowding.
When Zhou Weiguo and others left Yijiang Gate and left the city of Nanjing behind, Zhou Weiguo silently said to himself, "One day, I will definitely fight back."
