Seeing the telegram in his hand, Tang Shengzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and fell into hesitation again.

Tang Shengzhi did not really understand the "big change" mentioned in the telegram, nor did he know what it was, but he did know the true intention of the entire telegram.

Perhaps it was because he understood the Chairman's intention that the contradictory telegrams and the current critical war situation in Nanjing made him dumbfounded.

Now, he began to regret that he had accepted the hot potato when Chairman Chiang asked him to guard Nanjing. He also regretted even more that he did not listen to Gu Zhutong's advice on the phone yesterday and did not issue the order to retreat as soon as possible.

Time passed by second by second, and the Japanese army advanced step by step, but the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters was troubled by contradictions and hesitation.

Zhongshan North Road is the fastest passage to Yijiangmen, the widest street in Nanjing, and one of the symbols of prosperous Kyoto. Now, Zhongshan North Road gathers people from large and small blocks, bustling, shouting, and chaotic.

.

From the city walls of Nanjing, the roar of cannons, explosions, and intensive gunfire could be heard.

The sound of gunfire coming from the city wall seems to be getting closer and closer, and it seems to be getting denser. This sound is always impacting the chaotic flow of people on Zhongshan North Road, making people's fragile nerves almost collapse, making them panic like ants on a hot pot.

Uneasy. However, this usually wide and smooth street has now become overcrowded, and it has become extremely difficult to move forward.

At noon, on the noisy streets, Yang An and his party still managed to maintain a long queue, weaving through the turbulent flow.

As we approach Yijiang Gate, the flow of people becomes more crowded and the noise becomes louder.

The flow of people formed a whirlpool at Yijiang Gate. A few people left the city, but most people were blocked in the city. Some of the people who were blocked back still held a trace of illusion and stayed near the city gate, while some were desperate.

Return to the city.

Previously, Yang An and Qin Weihua thought that the congestion would be alleviated when they entered the wide Zhongshan North Road. They did not expect that this road would become even more crowded, and as they approached Yijiang Gate, the team could no longer move forward, almost like a line of ants.

Crowding and noise, despair and confusion, longing and panic are all intertwined, making Zhongshan North Road so desolate and desolate.

"Get away! Get away!" The voices of Sun Guisheng and Cai Mi came from behind.

Sun Guisheng, Cai Fan's rifle danced wildly, and suddenly everyone staggered and gave way to a small path.

The two veterans looked a little strange. Sun Guisheng's face was covered with smoke and dust, and only his teeth and eyes were white. However, Sun Guisheng had removed the dust on his body, but his face was clean. Although the military uniforms were in tatters, the rank of sergeant of the two men could still be seen.

The two men's military uniforms were in tatters, but it did not prevent the Nanjing people who were used to seeing soldiers from identifying their sergeant ranks. Seeing those military ranks, the fleeing Nanjing people knew that they were encountering war-hardened prostitutes. They were desperate to see these.

Guys, they can only swallow their anger, dare not speak out when they dare, squeeze to the side as hard as they can, obediently get out of the way, and avoid these gangsters who can't be offended.

After hearing the sound and looking at the chaos behind him, Yang An was about to stop shouting, but felt Qin Weihua tugging at the corner of his clothes and saw him shaking his head to signal, so he stopped his inner thoughts.

"Let them go. Otherwise, I won't be able to get close to Yijiang Gate."

Yang An hesitated briefly, nodded weakly, and agreed.

Seeing the actions of Sun Guisheng and Cai Fan, Ding Xiaozheng immediately understood what he was doing. He also shook the Czech light machine gun in his hand and shouted, "Get out of here! Get out of the way!"

For a time, the team's momentum changed, and the little "long dragon" became active again.

With Sun Guisheng and the two money fans "taking the lead", the team began to advance through Jiangmen unhurriedly.

Yijiang Gate is a three-hole city gate with fortifications built on it. And inside the city gate, perfect fortifications were also built.

Here, officers and soldiers are armed with live ammunition and are heavily guarded.

Yijiang Gate, the two city gates on the right have been sealed with sandbags, and the opening of the far left city gate has also been blocked for a small part. Inside the city gate, there are two sets of two-layer semi-circular fortifications built with sand and earth bags.

Within the ring fortifications, there are dozens of Czech light machine guns. There are also two civilian 24-type water-cooled heavy machine guns in the second layer of semi-ring fortifications. This is a deadly weapon. Whether it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun

, each shooter is ready and ready.

Outside the fortifications and in front of the city gate, there are barricades made of thick logs. The barbarians are wrapped with dense barbed wire. On the barbed wire, the sharp iron thorns are faintly flashing with cold light, always warning those who want to get closer.

Stragglers and fleeing people.

The troops guarding Nanjing share life and death. In the face of a powerful enemy, no troop can survive alone, and no troop can retreat without authorization.

For the senior generals guarding the city, the 36th Division of the 78th Army guarding Yijiang Gate is the city's last line of defense and the city's last supervising team. Regarding this, every senior general is aware of this.

declare.

It is also the Central Army. Everyone knows that at this moment, the troops guarding Yijiang Gate are the real confidants of the Supreme Command.

If you want to retreat without authorization or leave the city through here, you will be discouraged and stopped. Otherwise, you will be ruthlessly suppressed and strangled here.

Yang An's fifth company was also shocked by the formation in front of them.

Although there was chaos outside Juma, no one dared to approach Juma rashly. This was a completely different situation before. Regarding this, Yang An was also full of doubts in his heart.

Looking at the logo on the military uniform, Ding Xiaozheng was pleasantly surprised to find that the troops guarding Yijiang Gate turned out to be the 2nd Battalion of the 212th Regiment of the 106th Brigade. A smile instantly appeared on his face, pointing to his logo and pointing at a veteran from Juma Nei

He shouted in a low voice: "Brother, I am a heavy machine gunner of the 212th Regiment. When I was in Shanghai, I was sent to the Fourth Company with support and was dispersed."

The heavy machine gunner is the soldier who sacrifices the most on the battlefield, and is a treasure to the army. And a heavy machine gunner who has gone through hard battles and is still alive is undoubtedly the most precious treasure among treasures.

Hearing this, knowing that he was going to pick up a treasure for the army, the veteran's face changed, but he was still lukewarm, just not as serious and cold as before.

The veteran looked at the other party's logo and reached out to take the half pack of cigarettes thrown by the other party. This was the trophy that Ding Xiaozheng collected from the imp.

After taking the cigarette, the veteran turned and looked back, as if seeking a signal from his superior.

He found that the superior did not pay attention here, so he said softly: "You wait here, I will report to the superior."

After that, he turned around and left.

Ding Xiaozheng turned around and happily whispered to his brothers.

After hearing Ding Xiaozheng's words, Yang An also discovered that this was the Fourth Company of Li Zengying of the 212th Regiment, but he did not find any familiar old faces or an old man.

Suddenly, he found a familiar face, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he shouted in surprise: "Brother Peng! Brother Peng!"

That familiar face was facing this direction, but I didn't know if he saw me in the hustle and bustle.

Now, Peng Gouzi, Brother Peng, is the only way out for the Fifth Company. Yang An could not let go. Just as he was about to wave and shout, he found that the man had spoken to the veteran, and then slowly turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Peng! Brother Peng!...!" Yang An waved and shouted anxiously, but completely ignored the dozen soldiers coming out from both sides of the horse.

A gun butt hit Yang An's shoulder, and the pain brought him back to reality. Only then did he realize that he and Ding Xiaozheng had been surrounded by people.

"What are you shouting for! Disturbing the city gate security, take them away!" A cold voice shouted.
