Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 123 I also have an uninvited feeling

"Zhao Zilong! Commander Xiao usually seldom compliments others. It's rare that he thinks highly of you so much. Why are you hesitating?"

Seeing Zhao Zilong frowning, Sun Jian asked with a smile.

Zhao Zilong pursed his lips, shook his head at Sun Jian, then turned his head to look at Xiao Lingshan, and said, "Commander Xiao, I want to charge in the front line, not in the logistics force."

"No no." Xiao Lingshan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, and said, "Now that the battle is imminent, the guards are also rushing to the front line."

Of course Zhao Zilong knew that the gendarmerie was almost equal to the front-line troops in the defense of Nanjing, fighting bravely against the devils, but he still shook his head and said, "I'd better guard the Zhonghua Gate with everyone."

Although he was killing devils everywhere, Zhao Zilong thought of his promise, and thought of his agreement with Li Xiaoling to take her away in three days.

If I went to the Military Police Department, I don't know where to go to resist the devils, and I also told Wang Zhong that I can leave as long as I want.

If you are in a strange army, you will not have such freedom.

Seeing Zhao Zilong's refusal, Xiao Lingshan showed a trace of disappointment, but soon returned to normal.

"Commander Xiao! I also have a feeling of disapproval." Looking at the other party, Zhao Zilong suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said again.

"What's your request?" Xiao Lingshan couldn't help raising his brows.Sun Jian also stared wide-eyed, Wang Zhong and others were even more surprised.

"Since you are the commander-in-chief of crossing the river, can you arrange for the people in the city to cross the river first?"

When Zhao Zilong said this, what he thought was that he could travel to this place, so he didn't know if history would change.

But what is certain is that if he does not do something, then on December 1937, 12, the city of Nanjing will definitely face an unprecedented disaster.

He thought that since he was here, he would do his best to help everyone.

Therefore, when he was in Xinjiekou Hospital, he mentioned it to Sun Jian.

However, the other party said that there was Commander Tang at the top, who was the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the capital garrison, so he couldn't make the decision and couldn't do anything.

Because he knew the history, Zhao Zilong didn't expect much from Commander Tang.

Now that he met Xiao Lingshan, the commander of the Nanjing military police and the commander in chief of crossing the river, he had to try his best.

As for how many people can be saved, that's up to God.

"Oh?" Xiao Lingshan looked at Zhao Zilong in surprise.

As a soldier, he would actually ask the commander to give priority to the retreat of the common people, which is unprecedented and unheard of.

The others also opened their mouths and stared at Zhao Zilong.

Sun Jian was not very surprised because Zhao Zilong had said similar words to him before, but he was also moved.

Zhao Zilong glanced around, continued to stare at Xiao Lingshan, and said, "If, once the city of Nanjing cannot be defended, we can retreat..."

"No, we are soldiers, we will not retreat."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lingshan shook his head and interrupted.

Zhao Zilong was startled, then thought that the other party was the one who fought to the death in the end, so it is not surprising that he can say such words.

"Yes, we are soldiers, and we must defend the city."

He paused, then said: "What I'm talking about is what if, if the devil breaks through and enters the city, should we let the common people kill the enemy? How can those unarmed common people face those demons who kill without batting an eye?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Zilong said solemnly: "Commander Xiao, now that you are in charge of all the boats crossing the river, let's arrange for the people in the city to cross the river first. Send as many as you can."

There was silence for a while, and finally Xiao Lingshan nodded: "Okay, your proposal is very good, I will make good preparations."

Sun Jian and Xiao Lingshan only stayed here for a while, because of the busy military situation, they left soon.

Before leaving, the two of them walked up to Zhao Zilong to bid farewell, after all, the other party was appreciated by the Chairman.

Seeing Xiao Lingshan's back after leaving, Zhao Zilong said in a low voice: "Commander Xiao! Take care." Then he gave a rare military salute.

When Wang Zhong, Zhang Long and other nationalists saw it, they all showed expressions of surprise.

"Brother Zhao! Why do you respect Commander Xiao so much?" Zhang Long asked.

Zhao Zilong didn't explain, just said: "A real soldier!"
-
The waning moon slowly climbed into the black and blue night sky, and the tall walls of Nanjing City gradually became blurred.

When everyone strengthened the fortifications of the position, they received an order: all the troops stationed outside the city were required to withdraw into the city and continue to stand on the city wall.

"What? Giving up like this again? Brothers, is it easy to hold a position?" Wang Zhong jumped up when he heard this, and shouted angrily.

Everyone didn't speak, but they all looked annoyed.

Dozens of soldiers were sacrificed, and giving up so easily would be tantamount to wasting all previous efforts, which chilled them.

Zhao Zilong was also reluctant in his heart. Although he did not participate in many battles with everyone, he had also experienced battles in the outer positions of Fangshan. If you say retreat, you retreat.

However, now that he had received the order, Wang Zhong, the battalion commander, didn't dare to say anything more. He counted the number of people overnight and asked everyone to bring all the equipment back.

Because Zhang Hu was going to report to the artillery company, he took the anti-aircraft artillery with him before leaving.

When he followed the troops to the city gate, Zhao Zilong saw that many national-army troops were busy transporting sandbags and wood into the city gate hole, apparently trying to block the city gate.

After passing through the three city gates, Zhao Zilong saw a wide ramp made of huge rectangular blue bricks, leading to the top of the city.

The first time he walked on the ramp where four horses could run side by side, Zhao Zilong couldn't help being shocked.

And Wen Bin was even more stunned, unable to speak.

And when he walked up to the top of the city wall, he managed to utter a sentence: "My mother, I have never seen such a wide and such a big city wall!"

"Xiao Bin! Is this the first time you have entered the city in Daxiang?" Old Nanjing Zhang Long had climbed the city wall countless times since he was a child. He couldn't help laughing at Wen Bin's appearance.

Zhao Zilong looked at the two of them, just smiled slightly, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

The top of the wall is made of blue-gray bricks one by one, but on the original neat brick surface, there are pits of different sizes left by shells in some places.

On the outside of the top of the wall, there are blue brick crenels that are almost as tall as a person.And there are many crenels that have been hit by the devil's shells, and the collapsed masonry fragments are scattered all over the ground.

After settling down, everyone could finally have a warm meal in peace.

In the past, in the outer positions, I didn't dare to light a fire at night, for fear of the devil's cold gun.Now in the city, don't worry about devils, at least temporarily safe.

After the meal, except for the arrangement of sentries, everyone gathered together, there was no program, they were all bragging.

"Xiao Bin! Play a tune to relieve everyone's boredom." At this time, Wang Zhong came over.

"Okay." Wen Bin took out a harmonica from his backpack, put his back against the city wall, smiled at everyone, and put it on his lips.

The melodious sound of the piano sounded slowly, and gradually spread like a tide, floating in the endless night.

Zhao Zilong was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Wen Bin to play the harmonica so well.

The fluctuating highs and lows, the melancholy and murderous sound of the piano made everyone stop their movements and fell into deep thought.Listening to the music, Zhao Zilong couldn't help looking in the direction of Yuhuatai.

On that not tall hill, the devil's artillery fire has not weakened because of the nightfall.

Amidst the bangs of explosions, the flames emitted by the clusters of shells when they exploded seemed so dazzling in the night...
