Chapter 64 A tearful farewell(1/2)
No soldier who heard his name was willing to leave.
The 88th Division, the well-deserved ******2o*!
"I won't leave!"
"Whoever lets me go, I will shoot myself to death!"
"I'm going to die with everyone!"
"Travel!"
"Sir, I won't leave!"
Immediately, the other soldiers whose names were named knelt down one by one, begging Gao Zhisong to let them stay and fight together to the end, and never retreat!!
The enemy's bayonets and artillery fire never scared them, but now they all cried into tears.
A man doesn’t cry easily, but he hasn’t reached the sad place!
"Stop it all!"
Gao Zhisong suddenly shouted: "Look at you, there is no revolutionary soldiers now. You are crying. Don't mention my Gao Zhisong's soldiers in the future, I can't afford to lose this person!"
However, although the soldiers stopped crying, they were still unwilling to retreat.
"Hey, you guys, I beg you!"
Gao Zhisong suddenly knelt down to everyone, and for a moment, the soldiers were moved.
Gao Zhisong said, "I, Gao Zhisong, feel extremely proud to have you brothers. We will be brothers in the next life, but today, you must live for me. Death is not liberation, but living is the greatest pain. I hope you will make a comeback with the glory of our 88th Division. One day, you will avenge all the dead brothers and all the villagers who died under the fire of the Japanese army!"
"I, Gao Zhisong, have never asked anyone in my life. Today I will beg everyone, you guys go!"
Gao Zhisong's tears in his mouth, his torn voice could not hide his inner relief and pain.
More than 20 people under Ouyang's command finally formed a formation along with more than 1oo people who were forced to retreat. Looking at Gao Zhisong and others who were also standing in front of him, each of them had tears in their eyes.
"Salute!" Ouyang roared!
"salute!"
At this time, Ouyang suddenly remembered a song, Daolang's "Sending Comrades".
Ouyang sang loudly with tears in his eyes:
"Send comrades and embark on a journey."
"Silently, tears."
"The camel ringing sounded in my ears."
"The road is long and the fog is vast!"
"Revolutionary career breaks up often!"
"Same difference, two loves!"
The extremely sad song echoed over the Zhonghua Gate in an instant, and everyone was moved!
The soldiers covered their faces and cried, and tears fell like rain!
Everyone knows what it means to stay?
3oo many soldiers, together with brigade commander Gao Zhisong and brigade commander Zhu Chi, were all ready to die for their country!
Retreat means a glimmer of hope. Before the Japanese army invaded Nanjing, there is a great possibility of survival.
Sometimes, living is more painful than dying.
"Comrades-in-arms! Comrades-in-arms!"
"Dear brother!"
"Beware of the cold wind in the middle of the night!"
"Take care all the way!"
As we sang, the entire charred open space was drowned by the huge crying sounds. What came from my ears was not only Ouyang's singing, but also the unscathed feelings between my comrades!
We are the robe!
We are brothers!
"Comrades-in-arms! Comrades-in-arms!"
"Dear brother!"
"Wait until the spring breeze spreads good news!"
"Let's meet again!"
When the song ends and people are separated, no matter how reluctant they are, the living must live well for the dead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the way to retreat, Ouyang finally got amazing news why the Japanese army siege stopped attacking!
The commander of the dispatch army, King Hirohiko Asakamiya, was sniped by our army!
The Japanese army was frightened!
The base camp shocked!
The Japanese base camp issued another order, and must take down Nanjing City 13 days ago!
"It's great. Asakamiya Hirohiko died, and the Nanking Massacre is very likely to not be reborn. After all, asakamiya Hirohiko died, the Japanese commander-in-chief of the combat must be Matsui Ishione, the general of the 6th Army of the Japanese army. He was the one who tried his best to dissuade Asakamiya Hirohiko from massacre the city." Ouyang thought to himself.
Ouyang immediately shouted: "Everyone, hurry up, our destination is Xiaguan Pier!"
The city was filled with people who had moved their families everywhere. Looking at the fleeing Ouyang and others, their eyes were filled with contempt.
A defeated general is not worthy of courage!
After a four-hour trip, Ouyang and others finally arrived at Xiaguan Wharf. At this moment, the horses neighed and the people shouted, the people were noisy, and the wounded soldiers were barely following behind with sticks. The people on the wharf were like ants on a hot pan.
Tens of thousands of people were stranded here, and there was no boat to cross.
There were only 7 large ships in the entire ferry, and soldiers were guarding them. The muzzles of light and heavy machine guns were all aimed at the people on the dock.
"You are the soldiers, so domineering!"
"That is, the duty of soldiers is to defend their country, and you are actually here to point the gun at our common people. I want to ask you, are you soldiers of the country or subordinates of warlords?"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"The Japanese are right behind you. You don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but instead hide here. What's the reason!"
Hundreds of soldiers were blocking the way for the people, all holding up guns in their hands, with no expression on their faces, and extremely cold.
Ouyang and others rushed forward desperately. When the people saw Ouyang and others holding guns, they knew they were people who had just come down from the battlefield, and they made way for a while.
Walking through tens of thousands of people, Ouyang felt extremely uncomfortable.
There were many injured soldiers along the way, and they all looked at Ouyang and others, their eyes extremely empty.
Tang Shengzhi was abusing the country and the people. He first set fire to all the ferry boats and prevented the soldiers from crossing the river. Now he issued a confused retreat order, and you ran away!
However, nearly 100,000 defenders who were still stranded in the city did not have time to retreat, and many troops did not receive any news of their retreat.
At the same time, why not allow the people to cross the river? War should be the business of soldiers. The innocent people should be allowed to walk away, but why did you burn the ferry!
There are obviously big ships at the pier now, but they are all from senior officials. You want to escape yourself, why are there no people's share? What is the law of nature?
Ouyang led more than 100 people to come forward with guns, but was stopped by the soldiers on the other side.
"Stop! If you dare to get close, I will shoot and kill you no matter who you are!" a colonel from the National Army shouted.
Ouyang shouted: "Sir, why don't you let the people cross the river?"
"Sorry, Major, without the orders of our division commander, I have no right to let any people board the ship. Anyone who dares to get close to them will shoot and kill them!"
"Since people are not allowed to cross the river, why not burn all the big ships!" Ouyang was furious. These people obviously had ships, but they only kept them for themselves, and no one considered the death of the people.
Greedy and afraid of death!
Upon hearing this, the colonel **** was also very angry and said, "Major, this is not something you can do. I advise you to get out quickly, otherwise I want you to look good."
After a change of thought, Ouyang turned to the tens of thousands of people behind him and shouted: "If the soldiers who are still alive, stand up for me if they are with seeds. Since they don't let us cross the river, I have to cross them today!"
As soon as the words of inspiration came out, many soldiers immediately stood up!
"Sir, I'm the one!"
"Mad, I've been fed up with cowardice. I'm killing enemies on the front line, but these high-ranking officials only reserve ships for themselves. I'm the first to dissatisfie!"
"You little Japanese, I can't kill me. Today I still don't believe in evil!"
Soon, hundreds of injured soldiers stood out from the crowd, including many officers, the highest rank, and a national army colonel.
"hehe!"
Ouyang smiled, turned to look at the guard soldiers who were already as stupid as a wooden chicken, and said, "Get out of the way!"
