The War of Resistance

"What's wrong? Why are you retreating?" Ma Erhuzi shouted to the retreating soldiers.

"There is an order to retreat, stop fighting!" Some of the officers and soldiers who ran back like a galloping horse shouted at the two tigers.

"Why are you asking, run away!" Shang Zhen shouted.

As soon as he heard Shang Zhen say this, Ma Erhuzi turned around and wanted to run into the city, but at this time Shang Zhen shouted again: "Oh, Brother Huzi, don't run around and follow me!"

At this time, Shang Zhen was still carrying the female student on his back, but he led himself and the others to the northwest alley.

Shang Zhen also had no choice.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't carry this female student on his back, but the problem is that if Chu Tian is caught by that female student with Chu Tian's physical strength, they might not be able to escape!

"Why don't we go back to the Taiping Gate?" Ma Erhuzi asked behind Shang Zhengu who was carrying someone but ran panting.

"The city gate to the north is blocked, are you planning to jump out of the wall?

Besides, the city gate to the north is the Yangtze River. Are you going to swim there? Shang Zhen was also out of breath, so he explained to Ma Erhuzi.

Regarding the whereabouts of these people, Shang Zhen has not thought about it once or twice.

He instinctively felt that of course he wanted to rush out of Nanjing City, but the north was not safe, so he would rather rush out of Nanjing City from another direction.

He thought that it would be impossible for the Japanese army to attack Nanjun City so tightly. After all, Nanjing City is huge, and they can always find a gap to get out, or they simply defected to Jiangwangmiao and the Japanese army outside Taipingmen The 112th Division in combat, on the contrary, it is easier to get out of trouble.

To say that Shang Zhen was thinking carefully for the safety of his group, but as the saying goes, man is not as good as God, Shang Zhen never thought that this defeat would come back so quickly!

As we all know, Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China.

A meeting was held at the top level of the National Government on how to defend Nanjing.

At that meeting, some senior generals suggested that it was not suitable for a large-scale battle with the Japanese army in Nanjing.

But a certain person, because Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China, always wants to make a show for the people of the country and the world, so he firmly disagrees and retreats without defending.

There are also problems with the commanding generals he chose in the defense of Nanjing.

Although the general is old, the troops defending Nanjing under his command do not have his direct descendants at all!

Considering the factions in the Chinese army nowadays, if you have no soldiers, but you command other factions to fight ahead, this in itself will make those fighting in the front have the idea of ​​self-protection. Many times you are There is no command at all!

And the general wanted to show his determination to live and die with Nanjing. That happened to put on a state of fighting the Japanese army to the death and burning the city to the end.

This state is not to say that just brushing slogans on the wall is over. He even blocked some gates of Nanjing City, and that’s all. The ship was searched away!

The general put the airs of the chief of security in Nanjing in full swing, and the troops below were still fighting against the Japanese army, but when he heard that Guanghua Gate was about to lose its hold, he gave the order to retreat, and then he himself sat on the top. I crossed the river with a small steamship that I secretly left for myself.

How to say this situation?

From the perspective of a bystander, this is someone from the national government who made the following move for his own face.

In other words, someone is fighting a political war, and military operations are always in the service of politics. As the capital of the Republic of China, how can it be okay not to make a gesture of resistance? And since you have taken the commanding posture, you must do enough!

It's just that he faltered for a while, stretched his posture completely, and then suddenly ordered to retreat, so what about the more than 100,000 officers and soldiers who were fighting?

It can be said that a certain person did not care about the lives of the officers and soldiers for his own face, and the general who was responsible for guarding Nanjing City under him did not care about the lives of the officers and soldiers below him for his own life, so he also ran away.

So, what about the rest of the troops?

The division commander did not notify the brigade commander, and the brigade commander did not necessarily notify the regimental commander.

All senior generals know that there are no boats on the Yangtze River, so why don't you run first? Are you waiting for your subordinates to help you in the same boat?

So the situation became more and more chaotic.

Chinese people describe people getting sick. There is a good saying, which is called sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like spinning silk.

That means that people fall ill suddenly when they get sick, but it is a very slow process to cure the disease.

Such a sentence is really appropriate to describe the current defensive Chinese army, but it is the other way around.

They managed Nanjing's city defense bit by bit, but when it turned into a retreat, they were unstoppable, and they fell like a disease.

In fact, it is no wonder that the officers and soldiers guarding Nanjing City, most of them had retreated from the Songhu battlefield.

All the officers and soldiers who retreated had exactly the same idea as Shang Zhen and the stragglers. They all wanted to retreat to the front line of Nanjing and take a good rest.

But who would have thought that after being defeated on the Songhu battlefield, the retreat would turn into a rout, with the Japanese army chasing after them.

They were the fatigued divisions, and before they had time to rest, they threw themselves into another battle to defend the city.

There is a saying in later generations that the ass determines the head, which means that what kind of position a person is in will determine what kind of thinking he will do.

Perhaps as a high-level person, although they are determined to resist the aggression of Japanese imperialism, it has become a habit to always lose the battle. For most officers and soldiers, the will to resist is weak. So a new retreat is about to form again!

Facts have proved how prescient Shang Zhen did not want to fight this defensive battle, even though they are temporarily trapped in Nanjing City, that is also an accident

"I said Bai Zhanji, aren't you familiar with the road? You lead the way ahead!" Qiu Bo said Bai Zhan from behind.

"I know you better than you, but I'm not a living map! This place is so poor, what am I doing here?" Bai Zhan said helplessly.

Of course, Bai Zhan was right to say that.

Which thief do you think will run to this side? Which one is not going to drill where there are many rich people.

Note: This side refers to the urban-rural fringe in Northeast dialect.

Shang Zhen and the others are currently running in the alley next to Guanghuamen Street. Of course, they will not run to the street, or they will be dragged back by the retreating military police.

This is not a slum, but the one-story buildings are not regular, and the low-rise one-story houses feel like a maze.

If they didn't go here, Shang Zhen could lead them to go around the Taiping Gate by sticking to the city wall, but the problem is that there is the main road, and it is estimated that the Japanese army has already climbed up to the point of the guns, so they will become living targets!

And the following facts proved that it is really not good if you are not familiar with the terrain!

Shang Zhen and the others ran in the winding alleys, but when they got into an alley and ran a few hundred meters, they found that it was a dead end, and they could only turn around and try to find the way out again.

But at this moment, they heard gunshots coming from the street, and as veterans like Shang Zhen and the others, they knew that it was the sound of Japanese 38-style rifles firing, and the Japanese army had really entered the city!
