Chapter 577
Shang Zhen walked on the streets of Nanjing with Qianshang, Ma Erhuzi and six or seven others.
The military, police and the common people and refugees are even more chaotic than the previous few days.
Shang Zhen and the others saw soldiers even building barricades, and government personnel wrote in white gray on the large walls on both sides of the street.
"It's really hard to see others writing!" Ma Erhuzi couldn't help but praise him.
I saw that the man used a flat brush dipped in white ash to write directly on the big wall, and the words he wrote were carved out from a mold.
"That's right, it's all kung fu when you're familiar with everything. People always write like we always fiddle with guns." Qian Chuan'er echoed.
"What is he writing?" Ma Erhuzi asked again.
It’s not that Ma Erhuzi doesn’t know a few words, but he doesn’t know a few words at all.
"Defend Nanjing to the death." Qian Chuan'er said.
When Ma Erhuzi said "Oh", they passed by the person who was writing the promotional slogan.
But just when Ma Erhuzi, who envied others for his ability to write, looked back at the person writing, he said in surprise: "There is still there, I haven't finished writing!"
Anyway, Shang Zhen and the others just came out to inquire about the situation, and a few people stopped to check it out. At this time, they saw that the person wrote the word "three" behind the "swear to defend Nanjing to the death".
"What three?" Qian Chuan'er was also curious.
In the end, they saw that the one who wrote "Three Months" after "Swearing to Defend Nanjing to the Death".
"Three months? Such a big capital should be able to guard for three months, right?" Chen Hanwen, who was really silent, guessed and looked at Shang Zhen, "Company Commander, tell me."
Since Shang Zhen and his team had been away from the large army for a long time, Chen Hanwen now calls Shang Zhen the company commander.
Shang Zhen didn't care much about what he called him. Seeing Chen Hanwen ask him, he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."
Shang Zhen and his group had long been accustomed to Shang Zhen's character. Shang Zhen did not express his opinions easily in everything. He couldn't say it, but it was hard to say it.
Yes, the war is indeed hard to say. The three northeastern provinces were lost in more than a month, but the Battle of Songhu was fought for several months. Who knows how long Nanjing can last?
"The louder the shouting, the more likely it will be-" Qiu Bo whispered, and before he forgot to blink around.
Now is the war time.
You see, in peacetime, it may be fine if people say something, but in wartime, if they say this, if they are heard by the military and police, they will give you a "spoken word" or "demonic" thing.
Hat, maybe I will be thrown into prison directly!
The soldiers who came with Shang Zhen were all veterans and had experienced a lot of things. Naturally, they understood Qiu Bo’s implications, so no one answered, but they were already a little convinced in their hearts.
.
Shang Zhen and the others walked forward again, and after walking for a while, the little dustbike suddenly shouted: "Look at what you are doing in front of you, there is a bald man there!"
"What a bald man, that's a monk!" Chen Hanwen said with a smile.
Everyone looked at the roadside and saw that there was really a group of people in front of them, but there was a monk.
Anyway, they were just inquiring about the news and were not in a hurry, so Shang Zhen and the others leaned forward.
This was the first time Shang Zhen and the others saw a monk. They saw that the monk was tall, wearing a patched monk's robe and had a ring scar on his head.
The little dustpan child's heart was so tempted that he reached out his fingers to count the scars on the monk's head.
The monk closed his eyes slightly, ignoring how the people in the market were talking about him, but instead put his hands together and said, "There is a man who wandered in the wilderness, chased by evil phenomena, and was afraid of walking without help. He saw an empty well, beside him
If there are roots of trees, you will find the roots and penetrate into the well.
There are two black and white rats, which are intertwined with tree roots; there are four poisonous snakes on all sides of the well, who want to sting the person; there are poisonous dragons below, and they are afraid of the poisonous dragons in their hearts, fear of the broken roots of the tree; the tree roots are honey, and five drops fall into the mouth, the tree shakes and bees scatter, and the bottom is
The stinger, the wildfire comes back, burning this tree.”
"Monster, what's the one you carry?" Ma Erhuzi became annoyed after listening for a while. He didn't understand, so he asked suddenly.
People in Northeast China are already speaking loudly, and with Ma Erhuzi's personality, he couldn't understand the monk's chanting scriptures, so he naturally asked questions.
It is impossible to say that Ma Erhuzi never cares about the occasion when speaking, but in his opinion, soldiers with guns like them shouted loudly on the streets, and there was nothing that the people were not afraid of, so what was the monk missing?
"The five desires in life are like eating honey, and they only need to be greedy for a moment of joy, but they do not know that the deadline is coming, so sad!" The monk ignored Ma Erhuzi's loud voice and said instead.
Then, the other person actually put his hands together and walked out of the crowd.
"Monks and Taoists have always been nagging, and they are not as fun as the immortals on the other side of our house!" The little dustpan with the scar on the monk's head smiled.
The little dustpan is a child's nature. They didn't understand the Buddhist scriptures and Shang Zhen that the monk had recited before. However, Shang Zhen felt a little touched when the monk said before leaving.
It's right.
He first thought of Wang Laomao, and then he thought of Chu Tian.
When I remembered Wang Laomao, it was naturally because Wang Laomao, who had been to fifty, got along with Ju Hongxia, who was twenty-six or seven years old. Although he had not yet married, he was also an old husband and young wife.
I remembered Chu Tian, because Shang Zhen heard from the soldiers that Chu Tian had "club" with a female student from a wealthy family in his neighbor's house these days.
I don’t understand what the five desires in life are, but he knows what it means to “only greed for a moment”. Then there is a sentence later, “I don’t know the end is coming”.
The Japanese army besieged the city outside, and Tian Shang Zhen did not rush to lead the team to find the Northeast Army these days, although he heard that the Northeast Army was guarding Zijin Mountain outside Nanjing.
Shang Zhen instinctively felt that staying in Nanjing was not very safe, but he had been fighting outside wars for a long time. After entering a colorful world like Nanjing, he began to be greedy for the joy of the moment, and he was relaxed from the soldiers to him.
It's human nature.
But at this time, the monk's words undoubtedly reminded Shang Zhen. Just as Qiu Bo said before, even though he shouted now, he vowed to defend Nanjing for three months, can he really be able to defend Nanjing for three months?
Don’t let the Japanese army block the city because of their carelessness!
Shang Zhen and their group of soldiers came from north to south. Seeing that they had lost countless Guanshan Mountains, what was missing in Nanjing City?
Oh, what he thought of just now, Shang Zhen continued to walk forward, but his eyes were all about his own thoughts.
I thought of not being blocked by the Japanese army in the city.
At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly remembered the Northeast Army guarding Yin County before entering Nanjing City. At that time, the Northeast Army really blocked the gate of the county town and blocked it!
On the way back, Shang Zhen heard from the 112th Division that the troops of a regiment guarding the city only returned two or three hundred!
Thinking of this, Shang Zhen suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
"Okay, don't just watch the scenery. Let's go to the Guanghua Gate in the south to take a look!" Shang Zhen said suddenly, then accelerated his pace.
As soon as Shang Zhen gave the order, the people following him walked with great strides.
Shang Zhen did not get the topographic map of Nanjing, but he still had the administrative division map of Nanjing City, which also had some geographical indications on it.
For example, Shang Zhen knew that there were thirteen gates in Nanjing City, and the Guanghua Gate he was going to now was on the south side of Nanjing City.
The reason why Shang Zhen wanted to see the south gate of Nanjing was neither east nor west gate nor the north gate of the west gate was because he knew that the Yangtze River was on the north side of Nanjing, and he didn't plan to fight on his back and forth, so why did he go north?
Shang Zhen took Qian Chuaner and the others to walk faster and faster. Since he didn't want to see the scenery along the way, Xiaohuoji and the others could only follow him.
But everything seemed to be natural and destined. When Shang Zhen and his people turned a corner on the street, they really saw the thick and tall city walls of Nanjing City and the Guanghua Gate among the city walls.
But when they saw the city wall again, they suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Just because they could no longer get in front, there were soldiers in front of them holding guns to prevent the idle people from approaching, and there were soldiers busy in the door opening of Guanghua Gate.
What are the soldiers busy with? The soldiers should have guns, but at this time they were doing the work of the bricklayer. They actually built a wall at the Guanghua Gate. In other words, under the orders above, the defenders actually did
The city gate has begun to be blocked!
