In the original plot, Matsui Iwane asked his subordinates how to quickly capture Jinling. Most of them suggested increasing firepower, but only Takeshita Shun believed that special forces could be used to sneak in secretly and surprise the Guanghua Gate.

In the end, Matsui Iwane decided to let Shun Takeshita give it a try, and also asked the heavy artillery unit to prepare for an immediate attack if the surprise attack failed.

But now that Zhou Weiguo has received the order to retreat, it means that Takeshita Jun has successfully sneaked into the city and created chaos, and is not far from the fall of Jinling City.

If he insists on retreating according to the original plot, then his remaining one hundred and ten subordinates will eventually be ambushed by the Japanese army and all sacrificed.

But thinking that Xiao Ya was still in the city, Zhou Weiguo hesitated again. This time, he would never let the tragedy happen again.

On one side were the brothers who fought bloody battles to the end, and on the other side was his beloved fiancée. Zhou Weiguo was caught in a dilemma for a while.

"Weiguo, please retreat and go find Xiao Ya. She is still in the city waiting for you to go back. You must retreat with Xiao Ya. I will defend the position." Fang Shengli saw Zhou Weiguo's hesitant expression and immediately understood what he was worried about.

, and immediately said with deep emotion.

Looking at Fang Shengli's profound expression, Zhou Weiguo felt a warm feeling in his heart. Then he felt his heart skip a beat, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made a decision: "Withdraw."

"Team seats..." Xu Hu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Fang Shengli.

"Weiguo, why does the headquarters want us to retreat? There are still more than 100,000 troops in the city. We can obviously hold on, so why retreat?" Fang Shengli was very confused about this retreat order and asked.

"If I guessed correctly, Guanghua Gate should have been lost." Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes, looking a little painful.

"What? Guanghua Gate was lost?"

"This is impossible?" Fang Shengli frowned, expressing disbelief.

"The garrison at Guanghuamen is the 88th Division. The division commander is General Sun Yuanliang. But a tiger general. How could it be lost?"

"Our Commander Sun has long lost the courage he had on the Songhu battlefield. Now he just wants to save his life and the military power in his hands." Zhou Weiguo looked disdainful.

"How is this possible? Does Commander Tang not care?" Fang Shengli still didn't believe it.

Looking at Fang Shengli's expression, Zhou Weiguo sighed. He knew that Fang Shengli was a pure soldier, without any twists and turns.

"As far as the defenders in the city are concerned, which troops do you think Commander Tang can mobilize? What's more, our Commander Tang really wants to be buried with Jinling City? The ship on the Xiaguan Pier has been parked for a long time." Zhou Weiguo had no idea.

Tear apart their disguises mercilessly.

"Made, these traitors." Fang Shengli cursed bitterly.

Xu Hu on the side also found it difficult to accept that they were fighting bloody battles in the front, but those in the rear wanted to escape.

"Tuanzu, what should we do now? Do you still want to hold on?" Xu Hu said with red eyes and a hoarse voice.

"Jinling City can't be defended, but it's definitely not that easy for the Japs to take the position easily. Fang Shengli, how many of the first battalion can move?" Zhou Weiguo asked murderously.

"Including those with minor injuries, there are less than fifty people." Fang Shengli said with his eyes red.

"The second and third battalions are basically gone, with less than twenty people left, and everyone is still injured."

"Where's the security squad?"

"I'm the only one." Xu Hu said with a sad and angry look.

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo rubbed his head and felt very heavy. Excluding the wounded, there were only about twenty people who could fight. The rest were either slightly injured or seriously injured.

With so many wounded people, if we don't arrange a proper retreat, we will easily be chased by the Japanese, and in the end no one may survive.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Weiguo said loudly: "Now, I give the order!"

Wow!

After hearing this, most of the people who could move stood up and looked at Zhou Weiguo, waiting for his order.

"Fang Shengli, commander of the first battalion, will organize the wounded and lead you to withdraw first, leaving me with a squad to break up the rear."

"No, Tuan Zuo, Weiguo, let me cut off the rear, and you lead the brothers to retreat." Fang Shengli grabbed Zhou Weiguo and said.

Everyone knows that the risk of post-interruption is very high, and it is basically a narrow escape from death.

"Okay, Lao Fang, don't fight with me. Have you forgotten what I learned in Berlin? I'm very familiar with small-scale combat. Don't worry. On the contrary, you are more dangerous. With so many wounded people, you must kill them.

Send them to Xiaguan and hand them over to Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, I believe he will take care of these brothers." Zhou Weiguo rejected Fang Shengli's request.

"But..." Fang Shengli wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhou Weiguo.

"Excuting an order."

Seeing Zhou Weiguo's firm gaze and tone, Fang Shengli solemnly saluted a military salute and then said.

"Weiguo, what I am saying as a friend is that Xiao Ya is still in the city. She is a good girl. You must bring her out."

"Don't worry, I'll hold on for another two hours and then pick up Xiao Ya." Zhou Weiguo gave a reassuring look: "We must send all these brothers to Xiaguan, not one of them is missing."

"Don't worry, I will send all the brothers safely to Xiaguan. I'll wait for you in Xiaguan." Fang Shengli patted Zhou Weiguo's shoulder and gave a reassuring look.

"Let's go!" At this time, the wounded had already gathered. They all knew that the leader was staying to give them a break, and they were all moved to tears.

"Tuanzu, I can't walk anymore, let me stay, give me a grenade, and I will die together with the little devil." A seriously wounded man begged.

"Get the hell out of here, take good care of your injuries when you get to the rear, keep a useful body, and kill the Japanese to serve the country." Zhou Weiguo smiled and cursed, with tears unconsciously left. He turned his head, lit a cigarette, and was gone.

Look at the eyes of these wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldiers left the position with reluctant eyes, while Zhou Weiguo was exchanging weapons.

In order to ensure that Fang Shengli could successfully escort the wounded soldiers to Xiaguan Pier, he left most of the weapons and ammunition with Fang Shengli.

The dozen or so people left behind had less than twenty rounds of ammunition per person. He had to replenish his ammunition, otherwise he would not be able to hold on for two hours.

"System, exchange it for me twenty MP38 submachine guns, and then exchange it for five base ammunition." Zhou Weiguo said solemnly.

"It is being exchanged. Four thousand energy has been consumed. The exchange has been completed. Please go to the designated location to collect it." Then a red dot appeared in Zhou Weiguo's mind, which was his headquarters.

"Xu Hu, you take people to the headquarters and transport a batch of weapons that have been accumulated. Next, whether we can hold the position depends on them." Zhou Weiguo ordered.
