Chapter 36

"The Japanese attacked Wanping on the 7th of this month. As the leader of a country, he certainly could not tolerate North China taking the path of the puppet Manchukuo. The Japanese continued to send troops aggressively after the 7th. At that time, the Chairman said eight One word: It is better to be broken than to be whole. And immediately asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express its position, but the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even the military and political ministries was quite cautious, taking "the central government does not know the details yet, and is still dispatching troops and generals to prepare for the war of resistance" as the reason From being cautious with his words, to disregarding the situation, to now, this battle is definitely going to be fought, and the chairman is also inclined to "fight". Now various news indicate that the Nationalist government will open up a second battlefield in Shanghai."

President Lin flipped through his daughter's calligraphy with small gestures in his hands, and continued, "But you and I both know that the capital Nanjing and Shanghai are connected by the Yangtze River. The navy of the Republic of China was far inferior to the Japanese warships. Shanghai Once the war broke out, the warships of the Japanese pirates broke through the coastal defenses and could go up the river to bombard Nanjing, so the capital of Nanjing is almost sitting on the crater.”

"Isn't this city in danger?" Listening to her husband talking about these words, Mother Lin's face was worried, and she had been stable for half her life, thinking that the days of fleeing were far away from her.A few days ago, I was talking to other noble ladies about how many ladies came from Shanghai, how they dressed differently, listening to my husband, do I have to live this kind of wandering life now?
Lin Yuan patted Mother Lin's back with his thick hands, "Don't worry Ma'am, I'm about to tell you about this too, when the time comes, our Lin family will also move to Chongqing, you mother and daughter don't have to be afraid, I'm here , I have made almost all the arrangements, just consider it a different city to live in, Chongqing is a little hotter than Nanjing.”

From Father Lin's words, Li Chong captured the key point he wanted to know.

First of all, it is not groundless that the higher authorities plan to open up Shanghai as the second battlefield.

Secondly, the party and government organizations are already moving out of Nanjing, and the destination of the relocation is Chongqing.In other words, after the outbreak of the war, it will be Chongqing that will serve as the temporary accompanying capital, so the southwestern area of ​​Chongqing will serve as the rear area in the days to come.Thinking about Chongqing's location on the geographical map, surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is easy for a warship to sail from Shanghai to Nanjing, but if you want to pass the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, then unless the warship is changed to a small gunboat.

Moreover, Chongqing has sufficient strategic depth from the coast, and the mountains and rivers along the way are long. Even if your motorcycle mechanized troops do not have a sniper, it will be useless to drive there.

If I want my family to move, I should find a place to stay in that area.

In Beiping City, Nanyuan, there is a gloomy "gloomy cloud". These "gloomy clouds" come from the smoke rising from the "crackling" fire on the ground.The fortifications built by the Nanyuan defenders were moved to the ground under the bombardment of aircraft and artillery.

Inside the Nanyuan Command Headquarters, an attendant outside rushed in with a soldier with a black face and blood on his arms, and gave a military salute, "Report!"

"Come in!" In front of the command map, a tall man stared at the command map without looking up.

"Report to General Tong, General Song's guards have delivered a letter!"

"General Tong, the commander asked you to give up Nanyuan and retreat immediately." Seeing General Tong, the soldier handed the letter to him in person, and after completing the task assigned to him by the commander, he breathed a sigh of relief, exhausted Sitting on the ground paralyzed.

After receiving the order to retreat, Tong Jiesan immediately led the military training group and the students of the military training class to retreat to Beiping, because there were not enough defenders in the city of Beiping.Be careful all the way on the way to retreat, and take the trail to avoid being seen by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

In front of the Dahongmen, there is a large cornfield.Tong Jiesan led a group of students to shuttle inside. These students hadn't even touched a spear three months ago. They retreated from the bloody battlefield, and their immature faces inevitably showed the fear of death.

"Shoot!" At this moment, a large circle of Japanese soldiers rushed over from all sides, the sound of "da da da" continued, bullets swept across the cornfield, and pieces of straw fell down with young lives one by one.

At the moment of crisis, Tong Jiesan looked at the students who kept falling, pushed away the guards around him, stepped on the saddle and jumped on the horse to command, "Students, break out here!"

Not far away, the Japanese commander with a binoculars noticed Tong Jiesan who raised his arms and shouted command.

"Hoo!" A stray bullet pierced Tong Jiesan's left thighbone with sparks.Tong Jiesan let out a muffled snort, and the blood couldn't stop gushing out like a small spring.

"Deputy Commander, come down quickly, it's dangerous!" The guard on the side was about to pull Tong Jiesan off his horse, and shouted to the side while pulling Tong Jiesan, "Hurry up and send the deputy commander back to the city inside."

"Get out of the way! Now that the sacrifice is so great, how can I withdraw as a commander?"

In front of the Dahongmen, the fighters from the two sides have already engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and lives are constantly being lost.With no time to bandage, Tong Jiesan endured the severe pain and stood up again to direct the battle. His trouser legs were soaked in blood, his face was pale, and the bean big sweat kept falling into the soil.

"Baga! Road!" Behind the bunker, the commander of the Japanese army saw that he was repelled several times, and slammed down the binoculars in his hand. "Send a report immediately, requesting air support!"

"Hi!"

Not long after, "buzzing~" Dozens of planes flew over the Dahongmen, and bombs fell with a shrill sound.

"General Tong!" The dazed guard who had just been bombarded by the shells had no time to rush up and throw Tong Jiesan down from his horse. He saw General Tong's figure pointing in the direction of Beiping was engulfed by a large cloud of smoke, and the frightened horse neighed. The sound also disappeared in the tragic gunfire
In front of the No. 20 Ninth Army Headquarters in Beiping City, Song Mingxuan stood like a sculpture for a long time in front of the sand table, holding a telegram in his hand, his arms trembling.

"Commander, Nanjing is calling to tell you to evacuate Beiping. The plane is full of fuel and can take off at any time."

The moment he set foot on the plane deck, Song Mingxuan stood in front of the cabin door and turned his head to look at the sky of Beiping City. He didn't know whether he would be able to set foot on this land again in his lifetime, and his heart was complicated.

The plane's departure from the land of Beiping, for the entire land of China, means that a bigger storm of war is coming!

"President Lin, thank you very much for your guidance."

In the living room of the Lin family villa, Li Chong sincerely thanked him, got the news he wanted, and was about to get up and leave to take a telegram outside.

"Young man, how are you going to go back, or do you want to take you for a ride like last time?"

"How embarrassing, I have to trouble your boat to give me a lift." Li Chong has no habit of taking advantage of others, except of course the Japanese Chamber of Commerce.

"There are not many opportunities like this. Before I evacuate to Chongqing, the commercial channels in this province can still be dispatched. You can use them. I will ask the housekeeper to tell the dock. It is not a big deal to bring someone along. of."

"Thank you so much. Maybe I will travel more frequently in the past two months. If I change the ship by myself, I don't know how troublesome it is."

Father Lin changed into a comfortable sitting position, "Young man, I have a question to ask you. Since you are studying in Hong Kong, why don't you just take your family over there, where is the territory of the British?"

Li Chong smiled, "There are no eggs under the overturned nest. In the eyes of the British, the status of the Chinese is not as high as that of the Japanese. I want to place my family in a safe place where at least no one will look at me."
