Agents of the Republic of China

In the 26th year of the Republic of China, Nanjing was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

On Yuhuatai and Zijin Mountain, the Rising Sun flag of the invaders has already been flying.Brigades of foreign soldiers in khaki military uniforms, like torrents, poured into the capital that had lost its resistance from Zhonghuamen, Guanghuamen, Shuiximen, and Zhongshanmen, bringing blood that gradually spread to the whole city.

In one of the ruins of Taihe Bridge, Lin Xiaotang lay quietly on the ground with a shocking wound on his forehead.His eyes were closed tightly, showing an expression of pain and thought from time to time, but the eyeballs under the eyelids were moving rapidly, and his head was constantly twisting back and forth.

Because a ghost invaded his body and captured his mind.The visitor claimed to be a Chinese agent from 60 years later. Because he died in a secret mission, unexpectedly, his soul traveled through a period of sixty years and came to Nanjing on the same day 60 years later.

And now Nanjing is in the darkest moment in history.

Lin Xiaotang just felt a warm current penetrate into his head, like an empty warehouse suddenly filled with all kinds of things.As more and more things poured in, the feeling of swelling also continued to expand, spreading to every corner of his body.

Finally, Lin Xiaotang suddenly opened his eyes with a jolt.

Everything in front of him seemed to have changed. The air was filled with black gunpowder smoke and swirling dust, making it difficult for people to breathe smoothly. Human eardrum breakdown.

Lin Xiaotang turned his head, and there was a human face in front of him, but it seemed to be just a face.

Because of him, there was only one head left, and the gray and lifeless eyes looked at Lin Xiaotang quietly, as if expressing his unwillingness and anger.Lin Xiaotang recognized him, Boss Fang from the pharmacy next door to his house.

Lin Xiaotang's pupils constricted sharply, as if he had been bitten by something suddenly, he hurriedly crawled backwards, his heart beat violently involuntarily, his chaotic thoughts mixed with fear and the pain from the wound made him utterly distraught numb.

Suddenly, a familiar cry came, it was Fang Rou, Boss Fang's daughter!

Lin Xiaotang tried his best to shake his head, only then did he realize that he was not in a dream, he stood up and ran quickly to the only remaining window on the ruins of the house, stuck out half of his head, and looked out cautiously.

In front of the ruins is a shack. Through the door, one can vaguely see a Japanese military officer wearing a yellow military uniform pressing a delicate figure against the dilapidated door, tearing her clothes with both hands; My neighbor, Ergou, was kneeling at the door with his hands tied behind his back. Behind him, a short and stout Japanese soldier was holding a [-]-type rifle in one hand, and with the other he was pulling Ergou's face forcefully, forcing him to "appreciate" the scene in the shack. tragedy.At Ergou's feet was a headless corpse in a long gown.

An unstoppable rage instantly ignited in Lin Xiaotang's heart, his fists were slowly clenched, he stood up, kicked his right foot on the window frame and jumped out.

The Japanese soldier holding Ergou looked back and saw Lin Xiaotang, and hurriedly picked up his rifle, making a gesture to pull the breech.

Lin Xiaotang, whose eyes were about to burst into flames, punched the short and stout Japanese soldier in the throat, shattering his Adam's apple.Then he strode into the shack, grabbed the head of the sergeant with his back to him with both hands, and twisted it hard.

The murderous look gradually faded from Lin Xiaotang's eyes, Lin Xiaotang was stunned for a while, looking at the two corpses on the ground, and then at his own hands, suddenly ran out of the shack, leaning on a burnt tree and retching.

Er Gou broke free from the rope and ran to Lin Xiaotang's side, "Seventh Brother, are you alright?"

Lin Xiaotang raised his pale face, smiled wryly and motioned him to see how Fang Rou was doing in the shack.

Er Gou helped Fang Rou, who had a somewhat dull gaze, out of the shack, until she saw Lin Xiaotang, Fang Rou's face turned a little bloody when she put on Er Gou's coat, but when she caught a glimpse of the headless corpse on the ground, Fang Rou's legs went limp and paralyzed Sitting on the ground, covering his mouth with his hands, weeping silently.

Lin Xiaotang sighed, had to pull himself together, took out Boss Fang's head tremblingly, placed it with the body, and found a mat to cover it.

At this time, Lin Xiaotang's thoughts gradually became clear.Nanjing has been besieged for more than a week, and the defense of the city has been fiercely fought. Today, Lin Xiaotang originally went back to the university to discuss with his classmates about organizing personnel to go to the front line to offer condolences.But suddenly there was news that the Japanese were retreating and the Japanese had entered the city, and the city of Nanjing was thrown into chaos in an instant.

Lin Xiaotang hurried home to find his eldest brother and sister-in-law, wanting to join them and get out of the city as soon as possible, but just as he arrived at the door, he was caught up with the Japanese shelling.

"Where's my elder brother and sister-in-law?" Lin Xiaotang asked, looking straight at the ground.

"Listen to me." Ergou's voice was a little low, "Don't look for it, it's all buried here. Only me, Boss Fang and Xiaorou ran out and were saving people. The Japanese came. Those You bastard, you forced Boss Fang to say yes, Fangrou... Boss Fang refused, and his head was chopped off with a knife."

"No, I have to find them, maybe they are not dead yet." Lin Xiaotang didn't seem to hear this, stood up stupidly, patted the dirt on his body, and pretended to leave.

Er Gou and Fang Rou cried and held him back, "Seventh Brother, I can't look any more. The Japanese have already entered the city, and they will kill anyone they see. The soldiers and ordinary people are all running towards the ferry. There is a dead end!"

The cry of the two finally woke Lin Xiaotang up. He stroked his forehead, but tears flowed down involuntarily.How could it be like this, how could I have no home anymore, the once warm home was wiped out in the cannon fire, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law were separated from her in an instant, this sudden feeling of isolation and helplessness made Lin Xiaotang feel panic and confused.

"Brother Seven, you have to make up your mind. Where are we going? If we don't leave, we really can't leave!" Ergou looked at Lin Xiaotang anxiously, Fang Rou helplessly pulled Lin Xiaotang's sleeve, just now The 17-year-old is clearly terrified by what she has encountered today.

"Let's go to the ferry, let's go to Jiangbei first!" Lin Xiaotang suddenly calmed down, and his mind was calculating quickly.

After Nanjing was besieged, Generalissimo Jiang and Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, both said that they would stick to it, and that it would not be a problem to hold on for a few months, so even the people did not evacuate.But now, in less than ten days, the city defense suddenly collapsed, and the Japanese advanced at an astonishingly fast speed, and now they have entered the city through the outer defense line.Don't think about the gates of Nanjing, they must have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. At this time, only the pier and ferry in Xiaguan can go.

Lin Xiaotang was a little surprised at his calmness and composure, which was quite different from the cowardly, introverted, and uninitiated him in the past. Maybe he wasn't dreaming when he fainted just now?But how to explain such absurd dream?

Lin Xiaotang, who wiped away his tears, thought for a while, picked up the Nanfang pistol and magazines worn by the military officer, pulled Ergou and Fang Rou, and rushed along the already dilapidated streets towards the Xiaguan Wharf.

The former prosperous capital has become today's ghost town. The shells landed on the sides of the three people from time to time, splashing mud several meters high. The mud fell on the body with a fishy smell, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the smell of earth The smell is still bloody, and the smell of burnt in the air, arousing the fear and helplessness in everyone's heart.

The three of them had just turned a corner, when a strange accent suddenly came from behind, "There are people here, there seem to be women."

Lin Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment, it was actually a sentence in Japanese, but he could understand it.

He looked back, and there were seven or eight figures quickly following behind him, wearing the dazzling Japanese khaki-style [-]-style military uniform, holding a [-]-style rifle in his hand, running towards the direction of the three of them waiting for him. chase after.

Er Gou said "Damn!" and almost fell to the ground. Lin Xiaotang stretched out his hand to help Fang Rou, and at the same time grabbed Fang Rou tightly, "Run!"

The three of them didn't dare to look back, and ran towards Xiaguan with all their strength.The Japanese soldiers behind him also fired, and the bullets flew past the three of them. Their hearts were broken. Lin Xiaotang began to consciously lead the two of them around the bend, but the pursuers couldn't get rid of them.

As soon as Lin Xiaotang looked up, there was the National Department Store on Qinglin Road in front of him. It used to be a bustling neighborhood, but now except for the department store that was half destroyed by the bombing, the surrounding area is already flat.

Lin Xiaotang opened his mouth wide, trying to calm his beating heart, while running, he said to Ergou, "Did you see the department store?"

Er Gou panted heavily, unable to speak, just nodded.

"Cross the deep ditch in front, you take Xiaorou into the building, turn around inside, and then run to the pier. I will stay and lure away the Japanese behind me."

When Ergou heard this, his face flushed and he wanted to refute.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you continue running like this, none of us will be able to escape!"

While speaking, he had already come to the deep ditch in front of the building. Lin Xiaotang felt familiar, as if it was a standard trench, but the strange thing was that he recognized it.

Lin Xiaotang withdrew his hand and pushed the two of them out with all his strength, "Run forward, don't look back." After speaking, he jumped into a deep ditch that was as high as a person.

Er Gou pulled Fang Rou and ran towards the department store. Fang Rou opened her mouth in surprise and kept looking back. It seemed that she wanted to break free from Er Gou's arm, but Er Gou held her tightly and pulled her all the way. He staggered and disappeared at the entrance of the building.

Lin Xiaotang squatted in the ditch, suppressing his breath as much as possible, holding the pistol in his right hand, while his left hand kept groping on the ground. After groping for a long time, he only found a board full of holes. He cursed and had to pick it up. He took a heavy brick and stuck it tightly to the wall of the deep ditch.
