Ouyang Feilong was in great pain when he saw the Shanjiang brothers being engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
The brothers of the 128th Division went to Linping to rest. Fei Long did not follow them. He wanted to experience history in the next city, Jiaxing, and kill the devils.
After saying goodbye to Commander Gu, Fei Long was on his way to Jiaxing.
Fei Long glanced at Jiaxing City, which looked like an ancient and mysterious castle in the distance.
Fei Long's heart felt unusually heavy. He did not know what kind of fate the people in the castle would face.
There were only a few commoners on the road. Perhaps they heard that the Japanese were coming and did not dare to go out!
Fei Long quickened his pace and walked towards Jiaxing City. He wanted to reach the county town as soon as possible to tell the city defense troops and the people to prepare for the enemy. Although the No. 67 bridge was blown up, it could only slow down the speed of the Japanese army, but it could not stop the Japanese army from attacking Jiaxing County.
Fei Long continued to move forward. When he passed by a small forest, he suddenly saw a small group of Japanese soldiers interrogating an old farmer. The old farmer did not understand what the Japanese were talking about, so he ignored them and walked forward alone. However, the Japanese soldier who was interrogating him became angry and raised his bayonet to stab the old farmer's back. The old farmer immediately fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Fei Long was about to go save him, but he didn't expect it to happen too quickly. The old farmer had died, and Fei Long had to bear with his grief. After all, it was not easy to deal with more than a dozen Japanese soldiers alone.
At this moment, a young girl walked over from the opposite side of the Japanese army. The girl didn't pay much attention to the situation in front of her because she was walking with her head lowered. When she looked up, she saw an old farmer covered in blood lying on the ground.
She was stunned. When she looked again, there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers standing next to the old farmer.
She panicked and turned around to run. The dozen Japanese soldiers were unwilling to let her go. They kept calling out "Flower Girl" while chasing her.
Fei Long took a shortcut and chased in the direction of the girl. He wanted to save the girl. Seeing that the two fastest Japanese were about to catch up with the girl, Ouyang Fei Long quickly raised his sniper rifle and shot at the heads of the two Japanese. The bullets passed through the Japanese's steel helmet and went straight into their heads. The two Japanese fell to the ground. The other Japanese quickly looked at the place where the shots were fired and prepared to shoot back.
Fei Long dodged and hid behind a tree. The Japanese had no choice but to fire a few shots in the direction of Fei Long.
One of the Japanese raised his rifle and wanted to shoot at the girl. Fei Long quickly raised his sniper rifle and shot at the Japanese's hand, hitting the Japanese's palm.
"Pa!"
The Japanese's rifle fell to the ground. The remaining Japanese looked at each other, thinking that they had encountered a sniper. If they wanted to fight head-on, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. They could only slowly retreat and escape in panic.
Fei Long ran to the girl and pulled her to a safer place. He asked her,"Are you okay?" Don't be afraid, two of the Japanese are dead, the rest are all gone.”
The girl was still in shock and only replied with an " Oh." Fei Long asked again," Where do you live?" I'll send you back."
The girl calmed herself down slightly and carefully sized up Fei Long. She felt that this burly man in front of her did not seem like a bad person. He was also the person who had saved her just now. She did not feel that afraid anymore. She replied," I'm from Qixing Town. I want to go home and visit my parents."”
"What's your name?" Fei Long asked with concern. Why are you walking home alone?”
The girl said calmly," You can call me Xiao Tian. I study in Jiaxing Middle School. Most of my classmates are in the city. None of them are from the same town as me, so I have to go home alone." "Moreover, in the past few months, the Japanese army has been bombing Jiaxing County and the suburbs. I don't know how my parents are doing at home, so I'm in a hurry to go back and see how my parents are doing. In the past, the Japanese army only bombed and didn't see the Japanese come here, so I think it shouldn't be a problem to go alone.”
Fei Long warned," Let me tell you, the Japanese army has occupied Jiashan County. I retreated from there. I think the Japanese army will attack Jiaxing soon." It's best if you don't go to Qixing Town today. Go back to Jiaxing County first.”"Alright," Xiao Tian promised.
Fei Long and Xiao Tian walked towards Jiaxing County. Fei Long glanced at Xiao Tian and realized that he was no longer as nervous.
"How's Jiaxing County now?" Fei Long asked with a solemn expression.”
"What else can I do?" Oda replied. Ever since the Japanese army landed, there had been Japanese planes coming here to bomb almost every day. It could be said that it was difficult to find a complete building in the county town, and there were some casualties among the people. However, we were not afraid. Principal Zhang of Jiaxing Middle School had once told us that 'every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country'. Although we middle school students were students, we could also do what we could for the resistance against Japan. For example, Principal Zhang had organized our teachers and students to promote anti-Japanese songs to the people on the streets, perform anti-Japanese dramas on the streets, set up newspapers, distribute flyers, and so on. Therefore, the bombing of the Japanese army did not defeat our will to resist Japan. Instead, it strengthened it. If you don't believe me, you can go in and take a look!"
As Xiao Tian spoke, the nervousness he had just felt was swept away and he became a little excited.
"Alright, I believe you," Fei Long said, feeling relieved.”
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the Qiujing Bridge outside the east gate of Jiaxing City.
"Stop! What do you do?" Two soldiers blocked their way.
Xiao Tian stepped forward and explained to the soldier,"I'm a student at Jiaxing Middle School. This is my student ID."”As he spoke, he handed over his student ID.
"Then who is this?" The soldier pointed at the Flying Dragon beside Oda and asked.
"He was the one who saved me. I met the Japanese soldiers on my way home just now, and he saved me.”
"Encountering the Japanese soldiers? So, the Japanese army is coming soon?”the soldier said in surprise.
"Yes, I just came from Jiashan County. I fought side by side with Commander Gu Jiaqi's 128th Division. They have retreated to Linping to rest. I don't want to go.”
"Alright, let's go in!" The soldiers let them pass.
Fei Long looked to his left and right. Fortifications had been dug on both sides of the Qiujing Bridge. There were two machine guns on both sides. The other soldiers were all lying on the edge of the trench with loaded guns and watching the front.
Fei Long thought, Whose troops are these? It's heavily guarded!" Fei Long took a few more steps and looked up at the city wall. There was a soldier with a spear on his back standing on each battlement.
Fei Long and Xiao Tian climbed up the stairs to the ancient stone arch bridge with a history of more than 200 years--Qiujing Bridge. Fei Long stood on the bridge and stroked the cold stone lion on the pillar of the bridge. He looked down at the lonely reflection of the stone arch bridge in the moat under the bridge. Fei Long was filled with emotions, not knowing what fate this innocent Qiujing Bridge would face in the next few days.
Fei Long and Xiao Tian walked down the stone steps on the west side of the Qiujing Bridge and soon arrived at the east gate. The Eastern Wei guards did not stop him.
After passing through the east gate, Fei Long asked Xiao Tian,"Where is Jiaxing Middle School?" I'll send you back to school first." "Go straight ahead and cross a few streets," replied Oda.”
Fei Long looked around as he walked, but he could not see the prosperous shops of the old and famous brands. All he could see were broken walls and ruins. The broken wall only left the marks of the enemy's countless bombing, and the ruins were still emitting a few wisps of light smoke.
Fei Long's heart was heavy, and he could not suppress his grief and indignation. He could not help but look up at the sky. A few dark clouds were drifting in the wind, as if they were escaping from this city that had been through many hardships.
Xiao Tian and Fei Long arrived at the entrance of Jiaxing High School. There were no security guards on duty. It turned out that there was a middle-aged male security guard. Because Jiaxing County was bombed by the Japanese army for months, he hid in the countryside for his own safety.
Half of the school gate had been blown up, and it no longer looked like a school gate. Oda brought Fei Long into the school gate, passed through a few dilapidated school buildings that had been bombed by enemy planes, and arrived at a huge, empty sports field.
Dozens of tents were set up on the sports field. Principal Zhang Yintong of Jiaxing Middle School was directing the teachers and students of the school to set up tents and pour tea and water for the people who were affected by the disaster.
Xiao Tian ran over quickly and shouted,"Principal Zhang!" Principal Zhang!" Xiao Tian brought Principal Zhang to Fei Long's side and introduced him,"This is our Principal Zhang!"”Principal Zhang asked Xiao Tian in confusion,"Didn't you go home?" Why are you back?"
"I met the Japanese on my way home. Fortunately, the big brother beside me saved me, or I wouldn't have been able to come back!"”Principal Zhang smiled and shook Fei Long's hand. What's your name? Where are you from?"
"My name is Ouyang Feilong, and I come from the future. I am a transmigrator, and I am here to experience the life of war.”
Principal Zhang and Xiao Tian looked at each other in surprise. Principal Zhang quickly calmed down and said,"Unbelievable!" I don't care if you're telling the truth or not, I don't have the mood to verify it. I think you're from the future, so you must know a lot of things. Coincidentally, there's a meeting tonight to expand the city defense, hosted by the city defense commander Liu Shangzhi. He invited important military and political figures and people from all walks of life to participate in the meeting. You should go. I'll go too. I'll take you there.”
Fei Long readily agreed." Alright, it's my duty to contribute to the resistance against Japan.”
At around 7 p. m. on November 16th, 1937, the building of Jiaxing County City Defense Command was brightly lit. The large meeting room was filled with people. In addition to Commander Liu Shangzhi, there were also Li Benyi, the commander of the 1038th Regiment of the 170th Division, Jiang Weixian, the president of the Anti-enemy Support Association, Pan Jie, the secretary of the county government, Bai Bashan, the deputy director of the Military Transportation Agency, and Chen Xinmin, the leader of the Watch Group.
Principal Zhang brought Fei Long and sat down on two empty seats.
Commander Liu stood up with a serious face and said," Everyone, according to reliable intelligence, the Japanese army has occupied Jiashan County this morning and will soon reach here. The situation is grim now, so I've gathered everyone here tonight to offer suggestions and work together to defend Jiaxing County. Before that, I would like to make a few explanations. First, yesterday morning, Du Wei, the commissioner of our party, and the county head, Weng Wei, led the party and government organs to evacuate first. They did not escape, but retreated to Puyuan in Tongxiang County in the western suburbs for work. There, they organized the army and the people to prepare for the subsequent evacuation of the Urban area residents. Everyone, don't listen to the rumors and panic. "Second, as everyone can see, our regular army guarding the city only has one regiment. Is the government giving up on us? No, according to the arrangement of the commander of the tenth army, Zhang Fakui, several divisions were originally going to garrison Jiaxing, but they were bombarded by enemy planes and chased by Japanese infantry on the way. Xu Qiming's 170 division was going to Wuxing to set up defense, so the situation was not optimistic." However, Xu Qiming had sent Li Benyi, the commander of the 1038th Regiment, to guard Jiaxing City. There was a regiment of about 3,000 people, plus a portion of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Overwatch Regiment, about 4,000 people. With 1,000 soldiers stationed at each of the four gates of Jiaxing City, we can complete the task of guarding the city for three days. Thirdly, why did they have to defend the city for three days? Defending the city for three days was to buy time. On one hand, it was to buy time for the various troops to enter Wuxing, and on the other hand, it was to buy time for the commoners to withdraw from Jiaxing City. There was also the fight against the Japanese invaders and the imposing manner of the Chinese soldiers. Alright, I've said what I need to say. Now, please express your opinions.”Commander Liu sat down slowly and looked at everyone expectantly.
Li Ben, the leader of the 1038th Regiment, stood up. He was an impatient person and said firmly,"What are you afraid of?" As the saying goes, when the soldiers come, we will block them. When the water comes, we will cover it with earth. As long as that hateful Japanese dares to come, our 1038th Regiment brothers are not to be trifled with!”
The leader of the Overwatch Group, Chen Xinmin, who was sitting beside him, nudged him and teased him softly,"Your soldiers are all new recruits!”
Regiment Commander Li continued to speak generously,"What's wrong with the recruits? None of our 1038th Regiment are cowards. The 7th Army formed by our Guangxi soldiers is known as the 'Steel 7th Army'. It's not just for show. We participated in the Battle of Shanghai and fought with the Japanese army several times. This time, we will definitely not fail our mission. Please rest assured.”
Jiang Weixian, the president of the Anti-enemy Support Association, also said confidently," Since the enemy planes bombed Jiaxing County in August, our Anti-enemy Support Association has gradually established a mature ambulance team and volunteer police team that can deal with all kinds of emergencies.”
Principal Zhang Yintong stood up and said," Our Jiaxing Middle School has a lot of open space. We can set up tents to accommodate refugees and lightly injured people. We can also organize all the teachers and students to send food and water to the soldiers guarding the city, escort the injured, etc. As long as we can do it, please do not hesitate to instruct us!”
Commander Liu was very pleased." Very good," he said." Anyone else?"”
The deputy director of the military transport agency, Bai Bashan, stood up and said,"Our agency will organize a group of migrant workers to transport weapons and ammunition. We guarantee that we will not delay the supply of military supplies.”
Commander Liu concluded," Very good. As long as everyone works together and does their job, we will definitely be able to complete the three-day defense mission!”
