Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

Chapter 129: The military and civilians of Jinling are so great!

Li Shimin and Li Jing smiled at each other, then turned around and returned to the city.

Pei Xingjian pulled Di Renjie and wanted to go back to the city to organize the people to evacuate, but the female student also held Di Renjie and refused to let go.

"Hey, I already told you I have things to do, will you let go?!"

"I will go wherever you go?"

Although the two young people do not speak the same language, they can communicate without any obstacles, which is a miracle.

"Master, what should we do?"

Pei Xingjian shrugged: "Then take it with you."

Di Renjie sighed: "Alright, alright, hurry up and catch up!"

On the other side, Li Chengqian drew out the Blade of Time and Space again, and a teleportation portal appeared in front of everyone.

Under the shocked gazes of the female students and girls, he disappeared from the spot.

"Did you take a picture of that scene just now?!"

"Ah?? Oops, I didn't take the picture..."

Although the people on the shore were temporarily stabilized, how to cross the river remained a problem.

Li Chengqian had no better idea and could only do his best to seize all the Japanese warships on the river.

Although the transport capacity of just a few destroyers is still a drop in the bucket when facing hundreds of thousands of civilians, it is better than nothing.

Xue Rengui also found the train station at this time and left two guards to control the two trains that wanted to escape.

Although he didn't understand what a train was, he knew from its shape that the more carriages were attached to the back, the more people could be accommodated.

So he hooked up all the idle and abandoned carriages in the station.

But even if both trains are full, how many people can they carry? !

Hundreds of thousands of people, most of them could only swim across the Yangtze River on their own.

But can an ordinary person, no matter how good a swimmer he is, swim across a wide river in winter?

All Li Chengqian and his men could do was to delay time as much as possible, allowing the Japanese destroyers to transport civilians back and forth to the other side.

Another Japanese destroyer suddenly arrived. It was relatively easy to deal with the Japanese sailors whose individual combat effectiveness was weak, and there were no Japanese reinforcements on the warship.

So Li Chengqian used the portal and captured all five destroyers that arrived in less than half an hour.

They also threatened the Japanese sailors who were left behind to steer the warship to the shore so that the people could board the ship in an orderly manner.

After handing over the task of organizing the evacuation of the people to Li Shimin and Li Jing, he rushed back to the city without stopping.

Nothing is more important now than slowing down the Japanese.

There are still at least 400,000 people in the city who have not evacuated. He must buy time for these people.

Arrived at the Zhonghua Gate area.

Now the so-called Zhonghua Gate no longer exists, and the front city wall has been destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery.

Xie Jinyuan led the National Army soldiers in a street battle with the Japanese. Every street and every house was a key point.

"Any foreigner who openly invades our country will be beheaded!"

Xie Jinyuan roared and led his soldiers to recapture a three-story building.

This building is the commanding height within a radius of 500 meters and is also the temporary command post of the National Army in the Zhonghuamen area.

Just now, under the coordination of the Japanese infantry and tanks, Xie Jinyuan had to choose to withdraw temporarily due to heavy casualties.

Now, with the help of other national army soldiers and young and strong people who came to reinforce, they took it back again.

Li Chengqian followed the voice and found Xie Jinyuan, and immediately joined the battlefield with Cheng Yaojin and others.

The military strength of the Tang Dynasty soldiers gave them a great advantage in street fighting.

They are elusive and agile.

Every time he attacked, he could take away a small group of Japanese devils with his Tang sword.

And seized weapons and ammunition to support the national army which was running out of ammunition.

With their joining, the situation on the battlefield was finally stabilized.

But the battle situation was not only tense at Zhonghua Gate, but also at Guanghua Gate and Heping Gate, where the Japanese had already broken into.

The Japanese invaders poured into the city in large numbers and the situation deteriorated extremely.

If this continues, the people in the city will not be able to retreat smoothly.

"Your Highness, we are of little use here. I suggest you break out of the city and kill the Japanese commander!!" Hou Junji suggested.

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up: "You mean Song Jinshigen!!"

"That's right. Only by killing Song Jinshigen can we disrupt the Japanese command and at least make the Japanese follow-up troops temporarily suspend their attack."

"But once we leave, the enemy may advance quickly here, and the people in the city..."

At this moment, Li Jing came over with thousands of young and strong men.

Including the national army soldiers who originally wanted to retreat among the civilians.

The soldiers of the National Army spontaneously organized the young and strong, set up a framework, and formed a new system.

Although the young and strong men had no weapons, they still fought to the death to buy time for their families to escape.

At this time, the competition is not about weapons and equipment, but will.

They used their bodies to block bullets for the Kuomintang soldiers in the rear.

Some people held up door panels, some held up iron pots, but more of them were unarmed, relying on their passion and launching a death charge against the Japs under the hail of bullets.

In street fighting, the advantage of numbers is demonstrated.

The Japanese infantrymen equipped with Type 38 rifles were outnumbered and could not fire more than a few shots before the young and strong men rushed up to them.

He was beaten to death, then he took the gun and continued to kill the enemy.

But the Japanese invaders not only had infantry but also light and heavy machine guns, tanks, and infantry artillery in their forces.

Faced with this intensive firepower, the young and strong men still did not hesitate.

They used their familiarity with the terrain to climb onto the roofs on both sides of the street and cooperate with the Nationalist troops in the head-on firefight, causing great trouble to the Japanese firepower points in various streets and alleys.

But the price they paid was their lives.

"Damn it, if I kill one I'll break even, but if I kill two I'll make a profit, fuck you!"

A bearded man, probably in his fifties, jumped down from the roof and smashed his body against the Japanese machine gun that was spitting out flames.

Da da da....

He was shot like a sieve, but there were still people coming to plug the bullet holes.

These young and old men demonstrated what it means to be a man through their actions and made great contributions to the National Army in capturing this Japanese firepower point!

But they closed their eyes forever, unable to see the final victory, and unable to see the possibility of their families being evacuated safely...

The same thing happened in every street and alley. Under the death charge of the young and strong men, the Japanese were beaten back step by step.

However, the weapons and ammunition of the National Army could not sustain prolonged street fighting. If this continued, even if more lives were sacrificed, they would not be able to drive the Japanese out of the city.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty soldiers seized many Japanese guns in the close combat. Although the quantity was far from enough, it was better to have them than nothing.

The young and strong men quickly received weapons at the temporary command center, but none of them took a gun, and they all chose grenades.

To perish together was their last act of stubbornness. At least if they could pull a devil with them, their journey would not be in vain!

The soldiers and civilians of Jinling are so magnificent! !

At this time, Xie Jinyuan finally retreated from the front line and joined Li Chengqian, Li Shimin and others.

"We can't hold on any longer. The enemy's firepower is too strong. They can't take some buildings, so they just use artillery and tanks. There are huge casualties!"
