The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Brother, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are the troops that broke out from Nanjing."

Facing the black muzzle of the security forces, Yang Ling was worried that the gun would go off, so he hurriedly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to explain.

A captain and company commander at the head of the checkpoint still didn't put down the pistol in his hand. He looked Yang Ling up and down vigilantly, and saw that Yang Ling was wearing a commoner's padded jacket. Although he was dusty, he looked a bit like a soldier standing there.

"Do you have proof?"

Yang Ling took out the officer's ID that he had reissued in Nanjing from his pocket, and handed it to the captain and company commander.

The captain and company commander took over and checked carefully. After confirming that Yang Ling and the others broke out from Nanjing to fight the troops, and they were also a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, their attitude eased.

The company commander waved to the surroundings: "It's our own brothers, put away your guns."

"Mr. Yang, what is your duty? If you offend me, please forgive me." The captain politely handed back the officer's certificate to Yang Ling, and saluted him.

Yang Ling didn't care. Now that there is chaos everywhere, the world is not peaceful, bandits and bandits are popping up, and Japanese spies are everywhere. What the company commander did was his duty, so how could Yang Ling blame him?

"Brother, may I ask how to get to the shelter of the 74th Army?" Yang Ling asked the company commander.

"Mr. Yang, you keep walking along this road and turn left into the city and take the second street." The company commander was warm-hearted. Seeing that Yang Ling and the others had just arrived and were not familiar with the situation in Bengbu, he immediately told the truth.

"Thank you."

Yang Ling thanked the company commander, and led his brothers over the gap in the fence towards Bengbu City.

At this time, Bengbu was not considered a big city. The low city walls looked dilapidated, and a large number of low houses were scattered all over it. The various troops who had withdrawn to Bengbu for rest were stationed here, as if it had become a large barracks.

Far away from the smoke of war, the calm atmosphere in Bengbu made the brothers relax. Seeing the layers of barbed wire trenches outside the city, and the two anti-aircraft machine guns glowing with dim light, they felt an unprecedented step on the road. .

The fall of the capital Nanjing cut off communication with the outside world. The defeated soldiers were extremely desperate. Many people thought that the country was about to perish, but here they saw the neatly uniformed patrol troops walking on the streets and saw those sophisticated weapons. The place is in good order. , Hope was rekindled in their hearts that China would not perish.

A large number of troops poured into the city of Bengbu, and the local hawkers were also extremely active, with all kinds of yelling, and those new gadgets made people dazzled.

Yang Ling and the others broke out from the smoky battle against Nanjing. When they arrived here, it was as if they had entered two worlds.

The brothers who escaped from the dead also relaxed. They looked around, but they were helplessly cash-strapped, so they could only look at the delicious steamed buns that made people salivate...

Qin Shou held his hands tightly and put the silver dollars in his pocket. There were only more than 20 silver dollars left there. He was afraid that the thief would let him go.

"Old Qin, look over there." Liu Yidao looked around, and suddenly saw those women in padded jackets standing in front of a small three-story building. Qin Shou glanced at him.

Qin Shou looked in the direction of Liu Yidao's finger, and there were five or six women with heavy makeup standing there. Although they were wearing old cotton jackets, they still couldn't hide their exquisite and graceful figures, and Qin Shou's mouth was parched.

"This woman is much prettier than our pimple. You can pinch water from that face." Qin Shou stared at her chest, muttering to himself, almost drooling.

Most of the other fighting brothers also noticed these women, and they all knew what was going on. Those who fought to death on the battlefield suddenly saw these women, their eyes glowed like hungry wolves.

"Boss, you're tired from walking, come in and have a rest." These women didn't dislike Liu Yidao and the ragged soldiers, and greeted them.

"It's really obscene..." Zhang Hongying saw these vicious women, she naturally knew what they were doing for a living, she blushed and turned her face away.

Yang Ling didn't have any particular prejudice against these women. In this era when people could starve to death, life for these women was not easy. Moreover, they also took to the streets to cheer and cheer for the whole people in the war of resistance. They used their bodies to raise money for the front line There are also a lot of wars, and they are all hard-working people.

"You are not allowed to go, or I... I will ignore you."

Seeing Yang Ling looking there, Zhang Hongying was afraid that Yang Ling would be like those brothers under him, wasting money on these kiln sisters, she said while grabbing Yang Ling's arm.

Yang Ling knocked her on the head, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking, am I that kind of person?"

"Let's go, don't be embarrassing here." Seeing those brothers who couldn't walk after seeing Sister Yao, Yang Ling had no choice but to urge.

These soldiers fought with their heads on their trouser waists, and it was difficult to go home all year round, so most of them were old bachelors, and they were killed by stray bullets on the battlefield, so most of their military pay was paid by these wine dealers. Sister Heyao was exhausted, anyway, Yang Ling has no choice but to do what you want.

Under Yang Ling's urging, these brothers who were ready to move reluctantly looked away from the kiln sisters.

"I'll come over after I pay the military salary." Many brothers looked back from time to time, and the company commander Liu Yidao muttered to himself.

Although Bengbu City is far away from the battlefield, the strong atmosphere of war can still be felt here.

Those soldiers with guns on their backs roamed the streets in groups of three and four, and the Chairman's speech was also played on the loudspeaker of the radio.

"There is no distinction between the north and the south, and there is no distinction between people, old or young. No matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they all have the determination to sacrifice everything. Only by sacrificing to the end, fighting to the end, and only with the determination to sacrifice can we win the final victory!  … ..."

This speech seemed to have a kind of magical power, which rekindled the fighting spirit of these brothers who had escaped from death.

All over the city, there were only banners and notices in big brush characters, full of inspiring slogans such as "Down with Japanese imperialism" and "Don't be a subjugated slave".

Those young and beautiful female students also stood on the simple stage, raising their arms and shouting for anti-Japanese and national salvation, and various groups of anti-Japanese and national salvation also responded loudly below. This enthusiastic anti-Japanese atmosphere made Yang Ling's heart With consolation, the people of the country are awakening, and more people will stand up and join the ranks of this war of resistance. This victory will eventually belong to the Chinese nation.

Body 3 Chapter Thirty The Brigadier Commander Visits

The 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army had more than 1000 soldiers when it was established in September. However, after the bloody battle in Luodian in Shanghai and the breakout in Nanjing, only more than 7000 people managed to break out.

"What kind of useless battle is this? I have pity for those brothers of mine who lost their lives for nothing."

Zhou Zhidao, commander of the 74st Brigade of the 151th Army, held the long blood-red death list, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

With the great victory of the Shanghai Battle, the Japanese army swept Nanjing with a thunderous offensive. Given the terrain of Nanjing, it was impossible to defend. When all the generals persuaded to abandon Nanjing, Tang Shengzhi stood up and vowed to live and die with Nanjing.

At the beginning, everyone applauded Tang Shengzhi. When everyone backed down, only he stood up resolutely. People pinned all their hopes on him, hoping that he could turn the tide and keep the capital Nanjing.

Tang Shengzhi did not disappoint people at the beginning. He sent people to clear and destroy the boats crossing the river to show his determination. He sent military police and police forces to maintain order in the city. Bloody head.

But when the main force of the Japanese army arrived, seeing that Nanjing was undefendable, they took the lead in fleeing, leaving behind hundreds of thousands of people and troops to be blocked in Nanjing by the Japanese army, but he escaped from birth.

The troops of the 74th Army only relied on a small steamer to cross overnight, and only then did more than 5000 people escape. In addition to the sporadic breakouts later, the rest also died in Nanjing.

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao also narrowly escaped death. If the division commander Wang Yaowu and the others had not found him at Meimei Harbor and pulled him on a boat to cross the river, he would have died in Nanjing now.

So Zhou Zhidao felt resentful towards the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Garrison and his officers, but he only cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to curse them out face-to-face, after all, those people were still in high positions.

"How many brothers are there these days?" When Zhou Zhidao was in Nanjing, his leg was injured, and he couldn't stand for a long time with a cane. He returned to the chair and sat down.

"Back to the brigade, our brigade has taken in a total of 410 Sanda brothers in the past few days."

Zhou Zhidao sighed heavily when he heard it, it's a pity that those veterans were all gone.

However, their 74th Army was lucky. At least their commander left a boat for the division commander Wang Yaowu when he withdrew, and the division commander Wang Yaowu used this boat to rescue many brothers.

The troops of the 88th and 87th Divisions of German Armor were not as lucky as them. Many of them did not get the order to retreat at all, and they were still holding their positions until the early morning of the 13th day, so their losses were also the heaviest. The brigade commander Almost all the Changdu were killed in battle, and those who could escape were some clever skirmishers.

"We have also accommodated a lot of stragglers from the 88th Division and the 87th Division. Do you want to add them to our army?" asked the officer in charge of the containment.

The brigade commander Zhou Zhidao thought for a moment and said: "I'll keep them all. These brothers of German weapon masters are still good. If you don't eat the fat in your mouth, you won't eat it for nothing."

Although the German mech masters were wiped out, their soldiers were valuable, so Zhou Zhidao didn't want to let them go. Now that the troops suffered heavy losses, they urgently needed to replenish their soldiers. These veterans were much better than those new recruits.

The officer in custody was a little worried: "Traveler, will there be trouble if we forcibly detain it? It will be troublesome if their troops go to the Military Commission to file a complaint."
