"No choice..." Jiang Weiguo sighed, "Yeah, no choice!"

January 1, Spring Festival, at 31:05 in the morning.

"The Japanese fleet docked at Yuzuikou (about one kilometer upstream of Dasheng Pass), and the people on board were driven off the ship!" Qi Zeyuanhui, chief of staff of the 2nd Battalion, reported, "In addition, the 16th Division of the Japanese Army is heading towards the Daishan area. Assemble, it seems that they are going to attack my victory pass!"

"Understood!" Jiang Weiguo, Gu Dinghua and other military officers all had heavy hearts.

Jiang Weiguo then anxiously asked Liu Fengling beside him in a low voice: "Has Yu Shihang's fleet come?" Yu Shihang was originally the captain of the gunboat Datong, but now he is the captain of the destroyer Weiguo (Shiyu).

Liu Fengling shook his head: "I contacted you half an hour ago, but I haven't yet. I just arrived in Anqing!"

Jiang Weiguo raised the binoculars, and dense figures of people began to appear in the snowy white space in the distance.

On a hillside two kilometers away, Lieutenant General Nakajima Konzago, head of the 16th Division, was also holding up his binoculars. He looked leisurely and content, full of pleasure.

Compared with the complex feelings of "satisfaction and disgust" of the commander of the 5th Division, Itagaki Seishiro, Lieutenant General Nakajima has no psychological burden on this disgusting tactic. On the contrary, he enjoys it very much. There is even an enthusiastic thought that "this should have been done a long time ago". In his opinion, the Chinese are going to be killed, whether they are Chinese soldiers or Chinese civilians. To become Japanese land permanently, just as the Russians did in the Outer Northeast, was Lieutenant General Nakajima's belief.

In fact, Lieutenant General Nakajima was more cruel and violent than Lieutenant General Hisao Tani. In the original history, it was not Hisao Tani's 6th Division that killed the most people in the Nanjing Massacre, but Lieutenant General Nakajima's 16th Division. The 16th Division massacred more than 16 Chinese civilians in Nanjing. The number of murders far exceeded that of the 6th Division. The 6th Division likes to brag and show off more than the 16th Division. In addition, Lieutenant General Gu Hisao once publicly said that he would massacre the city, but Lieutenant General Nakajima did not. Lieutenant General Shoufu "killed with great fanfare", then Lieutenant General Nakajima "killed silently, and killed more, with more poisonous methods". The notorious killing competition took place in the 6th Division.

"What should the imperial army have done a long time ago!" After putting down the binoculars, Lieutenant General Nakajima sighed with emotion, "However, some people's minds are full of pedantic ideas, thinking about this and that, so how can they fight? Besides, these Chinese people will sooner or later All of them must be disposed of, and now the waste utilization is a matter of course!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what you said is true!" Division Chief of Staff Nakazawa Sanfu nodded again and again, "Soldiers never tire of deceit. In war, the goal is to win by whatever means. Those who oppose this method are simply irresponsible! They only He cared about some illusory things, but he couldn't see the lives of countless soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Army honor?ridiculous!Only the army that wins the battle is qualified to talk about honor. What honor can the army that loses the battle have to talk about? "

"Yes, yes!" Lieutenant General Nakajima nodded slightly, "That's the truth!"

"Your Excellency, Head of the Division!" Nakazawa asked, "In the next battle, should we use all the Chinese civilians, or use them in batches?"

"Use half first!" Lieutenant General Nakajima ordered, "The other half will be used to take down Yuhua Terrace after taking down the Great Victory Pass.

Yesterday, the battle in Longtan Township has already demonstrated that the Chinese army has nothing to do with this move. We don’t need to “waste” them. They were all killed or scattered, and we have to collect and transport them again. Take the Yuhua Terrace directly after passing the Dasheng Pass!Today is the Spring Festival, our No.16 Division should also present a generous gift to His Majesty the Emperor, the good news from the front line is the best gift to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, what you said is very true!" Chief Nakazawa nodded again and again.

On the Dashengguan position, the officers and soldiers looked at the scene in front of them with livid faces: seven or eight thousand ordinary people in the country were shivering and mourning, and were driven up by thousands of Japanese soldiers like ghosts.

The Japanese army was not only cunning, but also very vicious. There were hundreds of wounded among the common people. After they were driven ashore by the Japanese army from the ship, they were suddenly shelled. Dozens of shells fell on the crowd, flying blood and blood, killing 500 people , 700 people were injured. The Japanese army claimed that "these were artillery shells fired by the Nanjing Army", but they were actually Japanese artillery shells. The miserable screams and wailing and kneeling for help made the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army feel more and more unbearable.

"Listen to the Chinese army at Dashengguan!" Several high-pitched speakers sounded blunt Chinese in the ranks of the Japanese army, "These people are civilians from Changzhou. Therefore, they were specially sent to you by boat, but there was an accident after disembarking. One of your troops fired on the imperial army and accidentally injured many civilians. I hope you will accept them quickly and treat the wounded.

Now, the imperial army escorts them to your position, please do not open fire!"

The officers and soldiers of Dasheng Pass were all trembling and scolded by the despicable and shameless nonsense of the Japanese army.

The mixed civilians and the Japanese army began to approach the fortress of Dashengguan together.

The heart-rending cries resounded on the snow, especially the desperate cries of women and the frightened cries of children, which made the officers and soldiers feel heartbroken.

The people at the front of the crowd are all civilians who are holding, supporting, carrying or carrying the wounded. The wounded are covered in blood and dripping with blood. Bleeding, skin torn, some wounded and bloody, some of the wounded have passed out, and more wounded let out heart-piercing painful howls. Obviously, they have not received any medical treatment at all. If they are not treated in time , These wounded will die of serious injuries or bleeding to death.

The wailing of the wounded made the officers and soldiers grit their teeth and feel like a knife, especially those injured children, which made the officers and soldiers bow their heads and couldn't bear to look at it.

Jiang Weiguo saw with his own eyes an old man hugging a seven or eight-year-old boy. The boy's face was as pale as paper, his legs were broken, and he was motionless. The wound on the broken leg was no longer bleeding. The old man watching him, maybe his grandfather, was crying and running towards him. In this old man's heart, his grandson is not dead yet. As long as he reaches the national army's position, his grandson will be healed and revived.

People's hearts are fleshy, Jiang Weiguo resisted the pain like heart, put down the binoculars, he couldn't see anymore.

Lieutenant General Nakajima was a very vicious person. Under his order, the Japanese military stripped all the civilians naked. The men only had a pair of shorts, and the women only had one underwear.

The weather at this time was seven or eight degrees below zero, and these ordinary people stayed on the Yangtze River all the way to Nanjing after being loaded on the ship, and stayed on the Yangtze River for a whole day and night. They were all hungry and cold. These ordinary people would freeze and starve to death in front of the Nanjing Army positions.

In addition, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army will feel even more unbearable to see the miserable appearance of their own people, whose bodies are blue from the cold, their lips are purple, and their faces are full of tears.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers are advancing together in the crowd of crying civilians.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Jiang Weiguo looked at the officers around him helplessly.

The faces of the officers were ashen, with tears in their eyes, and even Xiao Yao, who had always been hard-hearted, was full of unbearable expression.

There are only two choices, one is to accept these miserable civilians, but the Japanese army mixed in will definitely launch an attack, and the position will basically be lost; the other is to refuse to accept the civilians, and shoot at the civilians and the Japanese army at the same time, only in this way can we hold the position .

"No choice, really no choice..." Jiang Weiguo couldn't help crying, he felt unprecedented pain and helplessness.

Xiao Yao looked at Gu Dinghua: "Gu Tuanzuo, you are such a supreme commander, come and give orders!"

Everyone looked at Gu Dinghua together, Gu Dinghua looked like a stone, stiff and desolate, he smiled miserably: "Everyone, I can't give orders!"

"You have to give the order!" Xiao Yao looked at Gu Dinghua with a hint of persecution in his expression.

Just as Jiang Weiguo was about to speak, Xiao Yao glanced at him, the meaning was very clear: Don't order to fire, this order will cause you to be greatly criticized.

Jiang Weiguo was terrified, he knew the voice of Xiao Yao's words: let others take the blame!Asking his heart, Jiang Weiguo didn't know what to do, because he had no choice.

"I can't give orders!" Gu Dinghua suddenly roared out of control, and then pulled out his pistol like lightning, "If you fire, you will kill a large number of civilians in our country. If you don't fire, you will lose your position. I have no choice!" The muzzle of the gun was stuffed into his mouth, the trigger was pulled, and he committed suicide.

Chapter 295 Furious City (5)

"Don't sympathize with these Chinese people!" In the Japanese army's offensive line, the mid-level officers said viciously, "Don't forget! How many Chinese civilian ships have been sunk by the submarines of the Chinese army! How many imperial civilians have died in the sea! This is what the Chinese people asked for Yes! They trampled on the international law of war and harmed the civilians of the empire. It is only right for the imperial army to retaliate against them! The imperial army does not need to show mercy!"

The Japanese soldiers driving the Chinese civilians were all red-eyed and hard-hearted.

"The enemy is still 500 meters away from our position!" The observation officer shouted hoarsely on the position of the Dashengguan defenders.

Looking at Gu Dinghua's body lying on the ground in a pool of blood, Jiang Weiguo felt strong guilt and pain in his heart: according to the establishment, Jiang Weiguo is currently the highest-ranking defender in the Dashengguan Fortress. He is both the deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Army and The Chief of Staff of the 77th Division, in other words, the order should be given by Jiang Weiguo, but Xiao Yao stopped Jiang Weiguo, Xiao Yao was protecting Jiang Weiguo, otherwise after the war, the overwhelming spit from all over the country and even abroad would drown Jiang Weiguo. Mentally, he would also bear an extremely heavy cross, but no one expected that Gu Dinghua would be so strong and "fragile". He had no choice but to choose the third option, suicide and relief.

"We have no choice, we have to fire!" Xiao Yao's voice was cold, firm, and serious like ice, but mixed with a sinister resentment and resentment, "If we don't fire, the Great Victory Pass will be lost. To play this trick again and again, step by step to capture Nanjing, we must be hard-hearted.

Opening fire will accidentally injure many ordinary people, but first, it can keep the position, and second, it can defeat the Japanese army's conspiracy, so that the Japanese army can no longer use this shameless and obscene tactic.

We will kill many ordinary people, but we can save more ordinary people!" He looked at the officers with blazing eyes, "Those ordinary people are bound to die, and if they don't die from our bullets, they will die from the Japanese army's bullets.

All we have to do is kill the Japanese to avenge them!"

Silence like stagnant water enveloped the scene, the air was frozen like ice, only the cries, cries for help, and wailing of the people who were getting closer and closer came in the wind, piercing like steel needles, piercing the officers and soldiers. on the eardrums of the soldiers, and also on the hearts of the officers and soldiers.

"The enemy is still 400 meters away from our position!" The observing officer shouted again at the top of his lungs.

"The vice-counselor is right!" Qi Zeyuan shouted loudly, and he picked up a tweeter, "Brothers! Get ready to fire!" Under the staring eyes of Qi Shushu, the veins on his forehead were protruding. "The reason why we fight the Japanese here is to defend the country and protect our people from being subjugated slaves where the Japanese can slaughter, humiliate, and oppress at will! If we don't shoot now, the Japanese will attack our position , then take down Nanjing, then occupy more of our land, kill more of our brothers, rape more of our sisters, we have no choice! These are the sins of the Japanese! Not our fault! We don’t need to blame ourselves Infamy? Don’t forget, from the day we stayed in Nanjing, we were dead! The living are afraid of being scolded, but what are the dead afraid of?”

The cold wind was fierce on the battlefield, and the hands of the officers and soldiers holding their weapons were trembling.

"The enemy is still 300 meters away from our position!" The observing officer shouted anxiously.

"We can't save those common people!" Qi Zeyuan continued to roar, his eyes were already full of tears, "Brothers, we can't save them! Shoot! Let them go!"

There were bursts of gnashing of teeth and heart-wrenching whimpers one after another on the battlefield.

"The enemy is still 200 meters away from our position!" The observation officer shouted, burning all five inside.

Qi Zeyuan looked at Zhang Yun beside him, and then at Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo burst into tears, and Zhang Yun's face was so tense that it was almost distorted. He took a deep breath and raised the tweeter: "Brothers! Listen to my orders... .”

Zhang Yun snatched the tweeter from Qi Zeyuan's hand. He looked at his chief of staff gratefully. He knew that Qi Zeyuan was protecting him, but he didn't want Qi Zeyuan to take the blame.

Holding a tweeter, Zhang Yun jumped up from the trench and stood on the fortifications in front of the trench, completely exposed to the outside.

"Compatriots!" Zhang Yun hissed, "I'm sorry! We will avenge you! I swear to God, every one of you, I will pay homage to you with ten Japanese heads!" He ruthlessly He slammed down the tweeter in his hand, and then picked up a mg-34 general-purpose machine gun, "Get down! Get down!" He roared with eyes like coals, and then slammed the trigger, a thunderbolt-like tongue of flame instantly Suddenly, a group of civilians more than 100 meters away from him and a group of Japanese soldiers caught in it were all drowned in blood mist and howling.

"Get down!" "Get down!" The officers and soldiers of the Dasheng Guan garrison yelled frantically with tears in their eyes, and at the same time they pulled the triggers of their guns together.

All of a sudden, thousands of arrows were fired on the battlefield, and the bombs were like a torrential rain. The hurricane-like firepower net instantly enveloped the civilians and Japanese soldiers who rushed in in a bloody rain like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Japanese wailing sounds and Chinese screams sounded together, Japanese blood and Chinese blood were poured together, Japanese corpses and Chinese corpses flew horizontally together.

At this moment, Jiang Weiguo felt that his heart was shattered into dumpling stuffing. He turned his head suddenly at the moment Zhang Yun shot, and then walked softly to the headquarters of the Dashengguan Guard Army. He didn't have the courage to watch the battle.

More than two hours later, Jiang Weiguo found that he had heard the sound of guns and explosions outside, and what was left were all kinds of screams that broke the liver and gallbladder, and crying that pierced the bone marrow, and the gunpowder smoke in the air The smell of blood and blood was disgustingly strong.

After barely plucking up his courage, Jiang Weiguo walked outside with difficulty. He saw Zhang Yun and other officers sitting on the ground with ashen faces and motionless. The Japanese attack should have been repulsed. He sang loudly with tears on his face. Jiang Weiguo couldn't understand what Qi Zeyuan was singing, but he could hear the tone was very sad and desolate.

"He sang Humai and long tunes unique to the Horqin Grassland, in Mongolian!" Ouyang Sihai saw Jiang Weiguo's doubts and explained, "He sang in Mongolian, I understand a few lines, The general idea is "I know your pain and sorrow, because I am also a dead person." This song seems to be sung as a dead person.

Oh, Qi Zeyuan is a Mongolian, and his Mongolian name is Chaolemen, which means 'Day Star'!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded in a daze.

"You bastards..." A heart-piercing woman's cry came from not far away. Jiang Weiguo saw two Nanjing Army soldiers trying to help a blood-stained woman. The woman almost went crazy and screamed She cried out, "You beat my man and my son to death! Why are you saving me now?" She cried for a long time, and almost didn't come up again, "You are the national army! You should be protecting me. Ours! The Japanese killed us, and you will kill us! You shot us! We thought you would save us..." She fell to the ground, rolling, crying in despair.

Zhang Yun walked forward in a daze like a zombie: "Sister, I'm sorry..."

The woman spat bloody spit on Zhang Yun's face, and rushed forward, scratching and scratching: "You army of victims who have killed thousands of swords! You kill me! Do it quickly! My man and son are still waiting on the road. It's me..." She screamed in despair.

Zhang Yun stood motionless, and the woman's sharp nails scratched his face with bloodstains.

Jiang Weiguo turned his head heartbroken. He took a deep breath, lit a cigarette with violently trembling hands, then looked at Ouyang Sihai beside him, and suddenly remembered something: "Aren't you at the Xiaguan Wharf? How did you come here?" Is the victory over?"

Ouyang Sihai showed a helpless wry smile: "Someone asked me to use a torpedo boat to send her to find you!"

A figure stumbled into the headquarters from the outside, leaning on the wall and bending over to vomit violently, while sobbing and sobbing tremblingly.

Jiang Weiguo's mind suddenly went numb because he saw it was Liu Wugou.

Liu Wugou didn't see Jiang Weiguo all night in the city, so he asked around, and then caught Ouyang Sihai at the pier in Xiaguan. Ouyang Sihai honestly explained Jiang Weiguo's whereabouts, and she immediately asked Ouyang Sihai to send her torpedo boat to Dashengguan.

Liu Wugou came to look for Jiang Weiguo, not entirely because she missed Jiang Weiguo, but because she saw that Jiang Weiguo was not in the city on New Year's Eve, and realized that something must have happened. Where is Jiang Weiguo, there must be big news there, after all, she is now He is the deputy editor-in-chief and reporter of the newspaper, and he already has a sense of professionalism in this area, so he hurriedly came to Jiang Weiguo.
