"Sir, if you are not leaving, any of the injured brothers who are not leaving, please raise your hand!"
Yu Zhiqian looked at the third battalion commander and wanted to say something. The third battalion commander waved his hand and bowed to Yu Zhiqian: "Sir, I know, I know everything, I also want to live, everyone wants to live, yes Not brothers!”
The wounded and wounded did not nod, and the third battalion commander smiled: "Don't be silent, everyone is afraid of death, and I am afraid of death. I, Zheng Shijue, once knelt down and begged for mercy from Han Fuqu's men in order to survive. I don't feel ashamed. Because I kneel down, I can live!"
When he said this, the third battalion commander paused: "Now I also want to live, but I want to give the chance of living to other brothers, because to be honest, I can't walk anymore, and I don't want to leave either. I, I will be a useless person from now on, I can’t fight the Japanese, maybe because I have to kill a few brothers, sir, it’s not worth it!”
The third battalion commander looked at the other wounded soldiers: "Everyone wants to live, but if we live, more brothers will die. Brothers, do you want the brothers next to you to die for you?"
The wounded soldiers around looked at each other, and one of them shook his head. Finally, all the wounded soldiers shook their heads together and shouted in unison: "No!"
"Okay, brothers, those who know they can't leave, follow me, block the little Japs together, and buy time for the retreating brothers! What do you think?"
"good!"
"Sir Yu, I, Wang San, am blind. I can't see the road. I have to follow and have a brother to support me. The devils are not fools. Are there any blind soldiers patrolling the streets? My king If I don’t leave, I’ll hold on to the grenade and wait for the Japanese to come. I’ll change it and make a fortune!”
"Yes, sir, I, Liu Tiezhu, am not leaving either. Sir, just let us stay. I can still shoot, I have good marksmanship, and I can still kill the Japanese!"
"I'm not leaving either!" A soldier who was lame on one leg threw the proposed bracket to the ground and yelled.
"Yes, if I don't leave, I will kill the Japanese too!"
"I, I, I, no, won't leave either!"
A group of wounded people shouted in unison. Yu Zhiqian stared at them, tears welling up in his eyes. At this time, Zheng Shijue knelt on the ground with a thud: "Sir, let us stay. We always need people to cut off the rear, otherwise the Japanese will easily They rushed in, no one stopped, and were bitten by the Japanese. None of the brothers could leave Shanghai!"
"Please, sir!"
Another group of wounded soldiers knelt on the ground and looked at Yu Zhiqian, wanting to stay. However, the lightly wounded soldiers around him and the soldiers who had no problem walking turned their heads away from this scene.
"Well done, you are all well done. Not a single one of my Xie Jinyuan soldiers is a coward!"
Xie Jinyuan wiped his tears and looked at the soldiers kneeling in front of him. He slowly walked towards Zheng Shijue. He held Zheng Shijue with his uninjured hand, slowly pulled him up, and held Zheng Shijue's shoulders tightly. : "I'll leave these brothers to you!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
After Zheng Shijue heard that Xie Jinyuan agreed to his request, he stood up suddenly and turned to look at the rest of the people: "Brothers, the leader agreed that we should cut off the rear. Everyone, listen to my command. We will give the Japanese a good fight later." Lesson, what is a Chinese soldier, okay!"
"good!"
A group of wounded soldiers shouted excitedly in unison. Yu Zhiqian wiped his eyes. The wind was really strong today and he couldn't hold back his tears. Well, yes, it was windy.
A total of more than 80 wounded soldiers chose to stay. They were all seriously injured or had difficulty walking. Everyone who agreed to stay took out something, found a comrade, and gave it to a comrade. I gave him the things and hoped to take them out.
"Sir, this is a photo of me. I originally wanted to send it to my family, but I didn't have time. The child was about to be born and I didn't take any wedding photos. After I leave, the child may not know what I look like, so I want to send it to my family. To the family!”
Zheng Shijue handed over a photo tremblingly. It was a black and white photo, wrapped in yellow oilcloth paper. Zheng Shijue was covered in blood and various things, but the photo was clean. It showed that he had saved How attentive.
Xie Jinyuan nodded and took the photo. There was a detailed address on the back. After reading it, he remembered it in his heart: "Don't worry, I will deliver it safely!"
"Thank you, leader!"
After collecting all the things, Yu Zhiqian looked at the sky outside and knew that the Japanese would attack in more than an hour at the latest. This time was the Japanese's meal time, and this was also the time when the guards of the Four Lines Warehouse rested every day. time.
"Everyone, check your equipment and make sure you have brought everything with you. Don't miss anything. People who are not good at water, let's talk and help each other when the time comes!"
"yes!"
All the soldiers immediately became busy. Yu Zhiqian looked at the Suzhou River outside and thought for a moment before finding Zheng Shijue: "If there is a Japanese patrol on the other side of the river later, you will shoot at the river!"
"Sir, what is this?" Zheng Shijue was a little confused.
"We will change our clothes and swim in the river later. If we encounter a Japanese patrol, we can pretend to be Japanese soldiers who failed to attack from the river. If we don't encounter them, we will retreat directly to the shore!"
Zheng Shijue understood what Yu Zhiqian meant and nodded: "I understand, sir!"
"Everyone change clothes immediately. Everyone check their clothes to see if there are any holes. Don't worry!"
Ten minutes later, the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse changed into clothes. They were all clothes pulled from the Japanese. They tried their best to find complete clothes and suitable clothes. Yu Zhiqian was wearing a As for the clothes of the lieutenant colonel, Xie Jinyuan is also a lieutenant colonel. Almost all those who can speak Japanese are dressed as officers, so they can handle it if there is an inspection.
When the moon was once again blocked by dark clouds, Yu Zhiqian took the lead and climbed out of the back door of Sihang Warehouse. He took out his telescope and looked at the other side of the Suzhou River. No Japanese patrol was found, but there were a few patrol boats in the distance on the river. However, the main direction of their search was not the direction of the Sihang Warehouse, but the location leased by the British.
During this period, people often wanted to sneak across the Suzhou River at night to support the defenders of Sihang Warehouse. So far, a total of two people have successfully crossed over and brought a blue sky and white sun flag and some food.
These two people wanted to stay and fight the Japanese, but out of various considerations, Yu Zhiqian sent them back. At the same time, they also told the people on the other side of the river what they had seen in the Sihang Warehouse.
"Set off!"
Yu Zhiqian gave an order, and all the soldiers who had changed their uniforms began to go down to the river.
