"Brothers, the fatal order issued by Commander Tang is for us to guard the city gate here at all costs. We will never allow any of the officers and soldiers guarding the city to evacuate or flee. They must be killed.
Rush back and kill the Japanese. This is a death order from Commander Tang, and a double death order from our commander, so none of you can be lenient!"
"So fight me, fight hard, push back all these cowardly troops who have retreated, and kill the Japanese! We must let them live and die together with the city!"
Facing the groups of defeated soldiers and civilians who were constantly rushing over, Lieutenant Colonel Li Jianbo, who was guarding the Yijiang Gate, still had a ferocious look on his face, commanding his troops to keep guarding the city gate.
They shot and killed the soldiers and civilians under the city gate.
Even if blood has flowed into rivers, even if many innocent civilians have been injured or killed,
Lieutenant Colonel Li Jianbo, who was guarding the city gate, still had no intention of opening the city gate and letting the fleeing soldiers and civilians who were constantly fighting back against them pass through the city gate and escape to the rear.
Therefore, the troops of the 36th Division who were holding on here could not open the city gate for life or death. No matter how many tens of thousands of officers and soldiers came in a steady stream, they rushed to the city gate desperately, trying to break through the fence and the city gate, and they could not get a way out.
good,
These officers and soldiers of the 36th Division still continued to operate their weapons and equipment and carried out ruthless killings.
In response, many of the escaping soldiers and civilians who rushed towards Yijiang Gate couldn't believe why they were not allowed to escape even though their own people were beating up their own people.
Especially when they saw the ferocious-looking Lieutenant Colonel Li Jianbo who was guarding the city gate with no trace of humanity, shouting and killing, many soldiers and civilians wanted to shoot him immediately.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall, relying on their commanding position, operated machine guns to carry out ferocious strafing attacks, killing large areas of unarmed soldiers and civilians in one fell swoop, lying on the ground with their own blood in a pool of blood.
And those people who were swarming behind them could not control their charging speed, so they trampled on the corpses of soldiers and civilians who had been killed, or the injured, and then trampled away.
In such a chaotic situation, if anyone accidentally fell down or fell to the ground, they would be trampled to death by the fleeing soldiers and civilians who came up from behind.
As a result, soon batch after batch of new corpses continued to lie on the ground, and the tragic situation of the escape suddenly got out of control.
"Captain! Commander! You died so miserably!"
"You didn't die on the battlefield fighting the Japanese, but you were injured and trampled to death here!"
"How miserable!"
Just after the escape situation got out of hand,
A group of fleeing officers and soldiers from the teaching corps also uttered a shrill howl and a series of wails.
It's a pity that no one pays attention to them now.
Because now the momentum of fleeing towards Yijiangmen and the flow of people are becoming more and more fierce, and there are huge crowds of people.
There were even officers and soldiers who were eager to rush out of the city gate immediately. They were very smart and brought stools, wooden boards and other objects, and placed them on the mountains of corpses to escape and climb.
It is a pity that these shrewd escaping officers and soldiers were either shot dead by the defenders on the city wall, or they fell to the ground because the corpses were not piled securely, and were trampled to death on the spot by the surging people from behind.
Fortunately, at this time, Guanghua Gate and Zhonghua Gate were not completely defeated by the fierce attack of the Japanese army because He Feiyang's troops were assisting in the operation.
Otherwise, with such a blockage in the front, and facing such brutal killings by the inhumane defenders of the city at Yijiang Gate, I am afraid that the Japanese troops chasing after them could have carried out a mass killing of the national army troops and those unarmed people.
civilian.
And at this time,
Jiang Lili has also brought her maid Chen Xuemei, as well as some servants and maids, to the outskirts of Xiaguan Yijiang Gate.
But when they saw such a terrifying scene of escape in front of them, they were immediately frightened and stunned.
"Miss! What should we do now?"
"Many fleeing people kept rushing against the city gate, but the troops defending the city kept shooting them. What kind of situation was this? Why were the officers and soldiers defending the city so cruel! Even
Kill everyone on your own?"
"They have this time to kill these unarmed refugees, why don't they go to the front lines to kill the Japanese?"
"I'm so scared! These officers and soldiers guarding the city are so inhumane and terrifying!"
"What's the difference between them and the Japs who are invading our city?"
The maid Chen Xuemei was completely frightened by the horrific killing scene in front of her. She was at a loss and said in panic.
"Don't ask me these things, I don't know what to do now!"
"If we can't escape here, I'm afraid we will die here, or we will be tortured to death by the Japanese, or we will commit suicide!"
Jiang Lili was also frightened by the completely unexpected escape scene in front of her, and became panicked.
