General Tang struggled to hold on to the situation, filled with anger, and vowed not to surrender. At the same time, he ordered Gu Zhang to go to Nanyuan to launch an offensive, trying to stop the Japanese army's siege.

Gu Zhang was ordered to go to Nanyuan to be in charge of Beiping's defense with Deputy Commander Situ Junwen.

Situ Junwen is a soldier in the Northwest. Three generations of his ancestors were farmers who faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky. During warlord wars, the land was forcibly seized and pointed at by guns to become a soldier. As soon as he joined the army, he was in trouble, and his official career went so smoothly that smoke rose from his ancestral grave.he

He was only in his forties, and due to the long-term garrison general, with the weathered and knife marks on his face, he was not easy to mess with at first glance.

He is indeed not easy to mess with. In the Northwest Army, no one may know that he is called Situ Junwen, but when it comes to Situ Dao, he is a well-known name, from the commander-in-chief to the recruits. No one knows.

Beiping, an ancient cultural city that has gone through hundreds of years, is now crumbling under the bursts of soot blasted by shells.

Those who could afford it had already fled, and those who could not move their families could only pray to God for blessings while hiding in fear, especially the Japanese soldiers who were disheveled all day long and feared being wiped out.

The fear and anxiety in the face of life and death is like a sharp sword hanging on the tip of the heart. The fear is like walking on thin ice, and the mental torture wears down the will like a cocoon.

In the middle of the night, a family of children kept crying, and suddenly stopped crying, replaced by a woman's low exclamation, followed by heart-piercing tears, and there was a bang, and everything was silent again.She was afraid that the crying of the child would attract the Japanese, so she accidentally smothered the child to death. If she couldn't accept it, she committed suicide.

This is not an isolated case, there are many, many, suicide mental disorders abound.

During the battle, the troops were exhausted, and the replenishment of soldiers was insufficient. In the besieged situation, the students who studied spontaneously joined the army. They were only in their teens, thin and small, and bookish, but no one would laugh at them. The battlefield is only one step away, the battlefield is the Shura field, and hell is just a piece of paper away.

If you want to use barbaric means to make the Chinese bow down, you must also use barbaric means to defend dignity. Dignity is defended with life, and these young lives will become the cornerstone.

The description in words is only one thousandth of the horror and bloodiness on the battlefield.

On July 27, the command post of the [-]nd Division arrived at Nanyuan. Gu Zhang immediately convened a meeting of division and brigade heads to prepare for battle, and visited the front line to inspect the trenches and defense facilities.

"What's your opinion?" Gu Zhang lit a cigarette, put it on his finger and didn't smoke.

"The support troops led by Li Chuan are here." Chief of Staff Li Rui pointed to a small hill not far from Nanyuan on the map. , is unlikely."

"There are many mountains in Nanyuan. Now we can only take advantage of the terrain and cannot face the enemy head-on. For the current plan, we should use defense as the best strategy. Try to hold back most of the enemy's troops and buy more time for the reinforcements." After careful consideration, Situ Junwen said slowly.

Li Hongtao and Lidi also participated in the battle. Li Hongtao became the commander of the regiment at the front, while Lidi entered the military camp and became a medical guard based on the idea that Jesus loved the world. When they meet each other, it hurts each other, it means that the other party doesn't necessarily have a comfortable life, and they have to be like toddlers, arguing over boring things and blushing.

Li Hongtao said, "I lead a regiment to station on the right side of Nanyuan."

"I'm with the regiment." Liddy raised his hand indifferently.

Li Hongtao was in a hurry, "I'm talking nonsense, you can't lift your shoulders and don't run around, stay in your medical camp to rescue the wounded!"

"Yo, breathing so loudly, I won't go to someone to bandage you."

"You can't wait for me to die!"

"Yeah, just to collect the corpse for you."

Gu Zhang slammed his hammer on the table, glanced over, and the two immediately shut up, "Listen to the order, Li Hongtao, the head of the second regiment, is stationed on the right side of Nanyuan, using this hill as a base, the fourth regiment will also reorganize the seventh regiment." The remaining troops are stationed on the left side, with Xihe as their base, the deputy army commander Situ Junwen leads the Ninth Regiment and me to station in the middle, and the rest of the troops are stationed behind the troops, ready to obey orders!"

"Yes!" Everyone saluted and said in a deep voice.

When Li Hongtao stepped out of the gate, Lidi passed by, only to hear Lidi say, "Live well."

Li Hongtao grinned and whistled, "Remember."

After a few rounds, the Japanese army had already figured out the situation, and immediately changed their strategy, attacking with high-density shells and artillery, in order to achieve a quick victory.

On July 28, the Japanese army concentrated three regiments of infantry, one regiment of artillery, and more than 20 aircraft to attack Nanyuan. Situ Junwen and Gu Zhang personally went to the front to command the battle. Under the fierce attack of the enemy, our army suffered casualties He was too big, so he had to fight and retreat. The battle ended at noon, and he was finally surrounded by the Japanese army because he was outnumbered. Situ Junwen died heroically when he commanded the troops to break through. He was 45 years old.

At the same time, Hiroka Yueqing, commander of the Japanese "Chinese Garrison", ordered an attack on the Chinese defenders in the south.General Tang urgently ordered Gu Zhang to lead his troops and "student soldiers" to break through from Nanyuan and retreat to Peiping.Gu Zhang commanded the troops to fight and retreat. , or because of the betrayal of the traitor Zhao Peng, he was ambushed by the Japanese army when he reached the Yuhe Bridge in Dahongmen. Gu Zhang was seriously injured.

General Tang sat on a large dead wood chair and watched the telegram from the front line. Deputy Commander Situ died, and Gu Zhang was seriously injured.

Amidst the smog, he became even older. In the turbulent wind and rain, the heavy responsibility of guarding the country was placed on the disabled old man, which was too heavy.

He dialed the phone, his voice was hoarse and exhausted, "Order," he paused, his tired eyelids closed heavily, "notify the two cities of Pingjin and Tianjin, if they can't hold it anymore, urgently evacuate the refugees." It took all my strength and courage.

Not long after, it will be announced to the world.

The war was raging outside, and the city of Tianjin was also gloomy. The powerful and powerful hid in the Japanese Concession as soon as possible.The rest were forced to flee their hometowns with their children and daughters.

Baoxiang hastily ordered the dismantling of machinery and equipment. In the past few years, since Zhao Peng was arrested, Cao Rong's original business was merged under the name of the government, and the Hongyang Escort Bureau followed the trend and developed a livelihood industry, producing light industries such as gauze and soap.

In the midst of the chaos, an old man rushed in, grabbed a boy, opened his throat and asked, "Where's your boss!"

The boy turned around and ran away, moving his equipment in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to talk to him.

The uncle was in a hurry, and spit was flying all over the place, "The grave of your boss's house has been dug up, so don't worry about it!"

The other people heard it, and were taken aback when they heard the words, and the young man also saw the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately pulled the uncle up and ran into the factory.

Baoxiang was so anxious that fire bubbles burst out of his mouth. On the one hand, he was worried that Gu Zhang would die, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the southward migration of the machinery. According to the battle reports ahead, the city was destroyed in just two or three days, and all the equipment was transported away. Impossible, I can only do my best.

He arranged the railway train early in the morning, and he had to leave early in the morning, and the whole factory was going to be demolished immediately.

The old man with wrinkled face and white hair lost his energy, and when he saw Baoxiang, he looked like he was about to cry, "Your family's grave has been dug up."

"What!" Baoxiang was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrong, "What did you say?"

The uncle knew that Baoxiang's family wanted power and money, and he didn't dare to be lazy and offend him on weekdays, but who knew that when he got up early this morning to patrol the mountains, he found that a graveyard of his family had been dug up. If a person is unhappy and collapses himself, who can he talk to, the uncle has a drooping beard and red eyes, and dare not speak.

The boy winked and raised his voice, "He said, boss, a grave in your house has been dug."

Baoxiang was confused, "Who is it?"

"Young Master Wang is healthy." He stammered, "It's really none of my business, I've been fine, I don't know this morning..."

Baoxiang interrupted him, "I see, you can go back."

The uncle widened his eyes and said, "Oh oh oh oh." He thought bitterly if he didn't pursue it.

Baoxiang was silent for a few minutes, then suddenly picked up a chair and slammed it on the door and window. The huge roar made everyone jump, "Yamada Sukeya, why would you not let him go until you die!"

Relative to the noise and restlessness of the outside world.

The courtyard house separated by a wall is another scene. The scorching sun is like a fire, and the sunflowers are blooming extremely brilliantly. The blooming flowers are like smiling faces, full of sunshine and vitality, and the sun in the sky. They complement each other.

At this time, the culprit was holding an urn with his arms around an urn, his expression was in a daze, and he wiped it gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the souls of the dead. He gently pressed his forehead on the box, "No one will snatched you away."

A waitress hides behind a screen, watching everything coldly.

A few days later, Nanyuan fell, and General Tang urgently convened a Pingjin defense meeting, and followed the instructions of the Nanjing National Government to move to Baoding with Qin De, Feng An and other generals.

When the Japanese army attacked Nanyuan, Fengtai and other places with heavy troops, Guangxiang Yueqing, the commander of the Japanese "Chinese Garrison Army", quickly deployed four squadrons of the Japanese No.20 Division and the Kwantung Army to reinforce Tianjin, and ordered the naval air force to defend China. The No.20 Ninth Army No.30 Eighth Division bombed the position. After fifteen hours of fierce fighting, the No.30 Eighth Division finally abandoned Tianjin on July 29 due to heavy casualties. Peiping fell on the [-]th and Tianjin fell on the [-]th.

Zhao Peng set foot on the city of Tianjin again, breathing in the lingering smoke, which was pungent and choking, but he loved it.

Everywhere you look, there are scars, under the ruined walls, there are corpses lying across the field, and the smell of blood and putrefaction attracts flies.

He looked up at the dilapidated and dilapidated Gu family's mansion, full of comfort, he laughed crazily, coughed wildly from laughing, his face was flushed, and his sinister eyes were full of fierceness.

In view of the information he provided during the battle of Nanyuan, which greatly contributed to the victory of the war, Xiangyue Qingsi promoted him to be a staff officer. The position was not high, but Zhao Peng saw the opportunity, and in the near future, he would eventually get back everything he lost.

He said coldly to the soldiers beside him, "Try your best to stop Gu Zhang's family along the way," he touched his twisted keloid fingers, and added, "It doesn't matter whether you live or die." Gu Zhang would be better off than dead.He gritted his teeth and grinned.

The southbound train was full of people, and if you didn’t pay attention, the people standing on the window sill would be pushed down, and the stinky mixed smell filled everyone’s nostrils, but they were numb, and some refugees bought If you don't have a train ticket, you are forced to get on the train. Just to fight for a seat on the train, you have already fought hard.

Baoxiang arranged the factory worker in another carriage, and he and his family members were in the same carriage.

Gu Zhe covered his nose, sullenly, "Uncle, where are we going?"

"go to Shanghai."

Gu Bei rested his head on his lap, "Where's dad?"

Baoxiang smiled far-fetchedly, "We will join us in a few days." In fact, he didn't know how Gu Zhang was doing. He had completely lost contact with the front line for several days. Women and children can only force themselves to calm down.

Tang Shishi hung her head and sat curled up in a corner. Baoxiang sighed, patted Gu Bei's head, motioned for her to get up, then walked to her side, and squatted down, "Miss Tang, why don't you drink some water?" Look at your chapped lips."

Baoxiang had nothing to say, she was pure and afraid that she would be thinking wildly by herself, he said so many comforting words, even went to see traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, Tang Shishi still looked half-dead and unhappy.

Zhang Chunming is a person who has experienced it, and said bitterly, "This is a heart disease, and the heart disease still needs heart medicine."

Baoxiang sighed heavily again.

While racking his brains to bring up a new topic, the second half of the train was hit by a shell and broke instantly. Like making pickles, many of them were squeezed so that their skeletons were deformed.Some old people and children were weak and fainted immediately.

Baoxiang's first reaction was to protect Gu Zhe and Gu Bei, but when he got out, his back was bruised, but he didn't hurt his vitals.

Gu Bei was so frightened that he cried, his small face turned pale, Gu Zhe pressed her to the ground, and bent down to cover her.

The shells were still attacking, the front of the train was hit, the rails were blown off, and a large number of people fled. Baoxiang pulled Gu Zhe and Gu Bei, turned to the terrified Zhang Chunming, and shouted, "Sister Zhang, hurry up!" Pull up Miss Tang and run away, the Japanese army is about to catch up."

A guy in the next car came to Baoxiang in a panic and said, "Boss, what about those machines!"

Bao's ears were deaf for a short time by the blasted shells. In the confusion, he probably guessed what he meant, and almost shouted, "Don't worry about it, human life is at stake, run away!"

Seeing this, the clerk also hugged Gu Bei from beside him, and jumped out from the slanted window. Bao Xiang hugged Gu Zhe and rushed forward desperately, while a group of clerks behind him also jumped out of the window to survive.

The number of Japanese soldiers was not many, no more than a hundred at best, but all of them had big guns in their hands, and when they charged forward, they shot and killed a large number of refugees indifferently.

The rest of the escaped people shot their guns like eagles catching chicks, laughing mockingly and conceitedly.

When the train reached here, there were many mountains, and everyone fled subconsciously into the mountains. Whoever was in front shouted, "Run separately, don't get together!" After the roar, a gunshot shot him from behind. After hitting a big blood hole, without even howling, he fell to the ground in weightlessness, rolled over a few times, and disappeared.

But no one dared to stop.

The sun was scorching hot and the forest was dense. Baoxiang was worried that if he carried Gu Zhe behind his back, he might be shot from behind like that man. He didn't stop walking for a moment, and hugged him directly from his back to his chest.

Except that the railway track passes through a small plain, and there are endless mountains one after another behind it. The crowd disperses to escape and hide in it, which can indeed save their lives to the maximum extent.

Baoxiang hugged Gu Zhe where the jungle was getting denser, and the more he went there, he ran for an unknown time, and he didn't know how far he ran. The surroundings were so quiet that only insects and birds were chirping, and the night came quietly. The summer was scorching, The clothes on the two of them were not worn much, and they were also scratched by the branches.

Gu Zhe has never seen this scene since he was a child. He endured it to cause trouble before, but now that the crisis has eased a little, he said in a hoarse voice and crying, "Uncle, my back, my back hurts like hell."

Baoxiang quickly laid him down on his lap, his clothes were cut open, and blood stained the cracks.Fortunately, when I took a closer look at the clothes, I was only scratched by the branches along the way.

Baoxiang asked nervously, "Is there any pain?" He pulled his hands and legs and looked at him again, and he was relieved to make sure that he was not shot.

Night fell completely.

At night, the temperature in the mountain forest dropped and it was much colder. Baoxiang took off his coat and put it on Gu Zhe, found a small hole in the leeward wind, and brought some weed branches to cover the two of them as a cover.
