After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 200: Evacuation

"Report!" A soldier covered in blood stumbled to the outskirts of the Jinling Security Zone and finally saw Jiang Shiyuan and Shen Yifeng who were maintaining order at the entrance.

"How's the situation over there, Commander Tang?" Shen Yifeng rushed forward and grabbed the soldier's arm.

The soldier panted heavily, his face pale as he said, "The Japs... the Japs are too fierce, our brothers can't stand it anymore!"

"How long can the city's defenses hold out?" Jiang Shiyuan stepped forward quickly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"At most... at most we can hold on for one more day!" The soldier's voice trembled with despair.

"One day..." Jiang Shiyuan murmured to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"We must buy more time for Commander Tang!" Shen Yifeng made a prompt decision, "Immediately contact all radio stations in the city and appeal to the outside world to expose the atrocities of the Japanese army!"

“We also need to contact the embassies of various countries and ask them to mediate!” Chairman Rabe added in a loud voice.

"Yes, we want the whole world to know that the Japanese army is committing heinous crimes in Nanjing!" Ms. Vautrin clenched her fists, filled with indignation.

12 month 9 day.

Outside the city of Jinling, the sound of gunfire became more intense, and the smoke covered the sky, making it like a purgatory on earth.

Commander Tang and Xie Jinyuan led their remaining troops and retreated to the Zhongshan Gate area, where they fought a final bloody battle with the Japanese pirates who outnumbered them several times.

"Kill!" Commander Tang roared at the top of his lungs, the Mauser pistol in his hand spewing out angry flames.

"For the sake of the people in Jinling city, let's fight the Japanese!" Xie Jinyuan's eyes were red, and he fired wildly with a machine gun.

With the determination to die, the Nanjing defenders fought a desperate battle with the Japanese pirates and built a steel Great Wall with their flesh and blood.

However, relying on their overwhelming numbers and sophisticated equipment, the Japanese army launched wave after wave of attacks like a tide, and the defense line of the Nanjing defenders was on the verge of collapse.

To make matters worse, the Japanese pirates somehow learned that the Nanjing defenders were preparing to break out from the north bank of the Yangtze River, and they dispatched an elite force in advance to ambush along the Yangtze River.

12 month 12 day.

In the city of Jinling, people were in panic, and the fleeing crowd was running around like headless flies.

More and more refugees poured into the safe zone, making the already crowded space even more congested.

"What should we do? If this continues, the safe zone will be overcrowded!" Chairman Rabe was extremely anxious.

Jiang Shiyuan made a prompt decision, "Chairman, from now on, we must strictly control the standards for people entering the safe zone. We can no longer be soft-hearted."

"The elderly, the weak, women and children who are unable to survive on their own will be given priority, and the young and middle-aged will be sent back home to implement self-protection measures..."

Chairman Rabe nodded and said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way..."

At about 5 p.m., Tang Shengzhi received a call from the principal in Yucheng, who said in a heavy tone: "Old Tang, Jinling City can no longer be defended. I order you to abandon Jinling immediately and break out!"

"Principal..." Tang Shengzhi's voice choked. He knew what this meant.

"Old Tang, I know you feel bad, but there is nothing we can do about it."

"You have to remember that being alive is more important than anything else!"

"Yes!" Tang Shengzhi held back his tears and saluted into the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Shengzhi took a deep breath and ordered the soldiers around him: "Pass my order, everyone break up into small groups and break out tonight!"

"But Commander, the Japanese have set up an ambush on the bank of the Yangtze River in advance, and we can't rush through!" The guard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Are we going to be trapped here and die?" Commander Tang clenched his fists, veins bulging.

"If we can't get out before tonight, when the city is captured tomorrow, the Japanese pirates will have an even better reason to massacre the people in the name of hunting down soldiers!"

"Then those safe zones we worked so hard to build will no longer be safe!"

At this time, Xie Jinyuan said calmly: "Commander, don't worry, we actually have an alternative retreat route."

"Good boy, I knew you had a trick up your sleeve!" Tang Shengzhi slammed the table and almost jumped up in excitement.

"This is all thanks to Miss Jiang!"

Xie Jinyuan smiled innocently and scratched his head. "A week ago, Miss Jiang found me privately and said that she had received news that our waterway retreat route might have been discovered by the Japanese pirates."

"She suggested we find an alternate route ahead of time, just in case."

"I didn't quite believe it at the time. I thought it was impossible for a weak woman like Miss Jiang to be more informed than veterans like us who have fought on the battlefield for many years."

"I didn't expect that Miss Jiang was right!"

"This Miss Jiang is truly as capable as any man!" Tang Shengzhi was filled with emotion, his eyes full of admiration.

"Then what is our alternative route?" the guard asked anxiously.

"Retreat via Zijin Mountain!" Xie Jinyuan said, pointing to a winding path on the map.

"Although this road is rugged and difficult to travel, it is well hidden. The Japanese pirates will definitely not expect us to take this route."

"Okay! Let's do it!" Tang Shengzhi ordered decisively, "Notify everyone immediately and get ready. We will break out of Purple Mountain at 10 o'clock tonight!"

In the thick darkness of the night, on top of the city wall of Nanjing, the last blue sky, white sun flag was slowly lowered.

Tang Shengzhi led his troops under the cover of night and quietly moved towards Purple Mountain in a prepared and planned manner.

Zijin Mountain is high and densely forested, and you can't see your hand in front of you in the dark.

The Jinling defenders marched forward with difficulty under the faint starlight.

"Commander, there's a ghost ahead!" said a soldier, pointing to a dark forest ahead.

"Ghost-seeing?" Tang Shengzhi's heart tightened.

"This place is very steep, with only one narrow path and steep cliffs on both sides. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is truly the gate of hell!"

"If the Japanese pirates set an ambush here, we'll all be finished!"

"What are you afraid of? If you are afraid of death, don't join the army!" Xie Jinyuan shouted, "Pull yourself together and hurry through here!"

The Jinling defenders gritted their teeth and walked towards Guijianchou with one step deep and one step shallow.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid gunfire pierced the night sky.

"Da da da--"

"There is an ambush! Hide quickly!" Xie Jinyuan yelled and was the first to lie down on the ground.

Dense bullets poured down like raindrops, hitting the branches and stones, splashing sparks.

"Damn it! It's the Japs' machine gun!"

"Oops, we've been discovered!"

"Why are you panicking? Hold on!" Tang Shengzhi pulled out his pistol and shouted, "Even if we die, we must take a few more Japanese soldiers with us!"

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of Tang Shengzhi, the Nanjing defenders fought a desperate battle with the Japanese pirates.

However, this small group of Japanese pirates occupied an advantageous terrain, with a commanding position and fierce firepower.

The Nanjing defenders were already exhausted both physically and mentally, and for a moment they could not hold on any longer.

"Are we really going to die here?" Tang Shengzhi sighed to the sky, his eyes full of despair.

Just then, the roar of a motor came from a distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The lights of a large truck pierced the night sky and sped towards Guijianchou.

"It's reinforcements! Our reinforcements are coming!"

"We are saved!"

The morale of the Jinling defenders was immediately boosted, and they rushed out from behind their bunkers and launched a counterattack against the Japanese pirates.

The truck was getting closer and closer, and a group of mysterious people wearing black night clothes and black scarves jumped out of the truck.

They were armed with submachine guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese pirate group.

"Da da da--"

The Japanese pirates were attacked from both sides at once, caught off guard, and fell in a pool of blood one after another.

"We are saved!" The Jinling defenders cheered.

The leader was tall, with a stern face, holding two box guns, and rushing to the front like a killing god.

He is the deputy station chief of the underground party’s Jinling Station, one of the Twelve Beauties!
