Yu Xiaoqing turned to look at Xiao Yan,"Did you kill the Japanese army's major?"”
"Yeah."
Yu Xiaoqing: " Was it you who drove the truck to break through the Japanese defense line just now?”
"Yeah."
Yu Xiao Qing: " How did you do that terrifying firepower of the other party?”
This was the point.
Of course, Xiao Yan couldn't reveal his trump card.
"I was just lucky."
Yu Xiao Qing suddenly stood at attention and lowered his abnormally arrogant head.
"I was rude to you in the regiment command post just now. Apologize. Indeed, a strong general had no weak soldiers. Xie Jin Yuan's subordinates were indeed heroes.”
Xie Jinyuan was Xiao Yan's superior, and he was also the one who led 800 strong men (410 people in actual fact) to defend the Shanghai Sihang warehouse, blocking tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, killing countless Japanese soldiers, but only killing 9 people and injuring 20 people.
A miraculous battle.
As a result, when the Japanese army heard Xie Jinyuan's name, their morale was low.
No matter what, Xiao Yan had won Yu Xiao Qing's respect.
After Yu Xiao Qing apologized, he ordered Zhang Lixian.
"Zhang Lixian."
"Yes."
"Apologize to the hero of our army."
Zhang Lixian didn't hesitate. He stood at attention and bowed to Xiao Yan.
"I'm sorry, Commander Xiao. I have a bad temper and speak without thinking. Please forgive me. You are a real soldier."
Xiao Yan didn't make things difficult for Zhang Lixian, even though they didn't have a good relationship in the military academy.
However, Xiao Yan also knew that there weren't many soldiers with a sense of justice like him in the national army.
Only soldiers like them were seriously fighting the Japanese.
Therefore, after a few casual words, they smiled and resolved the enmity.
After that, they began to clean up the battlefield.
Yu Xiao Qing was eager to recruit talents and invited Xiao Yan to the regiment headquarters for tea. She intentionally or unintentionally extended an olive branch to him, hoping to recruit him to be the battalion commander of her regiment.
Yu Xiaoqing told Xiao Yan that after Xie Jinyuan's troops fled into the British concession, they were disarmed by the British and locked up, becoming an isolated military camp.
This troop basically wouldn't be able to return.
This meant that Xiao Yan had lost his troops and had become a stray dog.
Xiao Yan didn't reject Yu Xiao Qing.
Because Yu Xiao Qing's regiment was the direct line of descent of the national army, and was the main force, the level was higher than the other regiments.
Adding on the fact that Yu Xiao Qing had He Yingqin backing him up, to put it bluntly, Yu Xiao Qing's rank was similar to a brigade commander, even comparable to a deputy division commander.
Being able to be a battalion commander in his regiment meant that he had been promoted two ranks in a row.
However, Xiao Yan's mind was clear.
This was because the Nanjing Massacre was coming up next. At that time, all the national troops in Nanjing would be finished, let alone Yu Xiaoqing's main force.
Who knew how many would survive.
Accepting the position of battalion commander was like taking a ticket to the gates of hell.
Moreover, Xiao Yan's top priority was to save his junior sister Fang Min and give his master's wife an explanation.
Therefore, Xiao Yan confessed to Yu Xiao Qing that his purpose was to come to Nanjing to save people.
Yu Xiao Qing was very generous to the person he liked. Without a word, he transferred a class to Xiao Yan to help him find the person.
Seeing Yu Xiao Qing being so polite, Xiao Yan also hinted to him that Nanjing was about to fall. The general guarding the city was about to abandon the city and escape.
But Yu Xiao Qing was stubborn and rejected Xiao Yan's suggestion.
He wanted to follow Yue Fei's example and vowed to fight the Japanese army to the death to serve the country.
As he was speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the regiment headquarters.
At the same time, the Japanese army outside the city began to stir. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers shouted at the same time.
" Long live His Majesty the Emperor."
"The martial arts fate of the Great Japan Empire will last forever."
The shouts were filled with joy.
Yu Xiao Qing was shocked and went out to ask about the situation.
"What happened?"
Zhang Lixian, who was in charge of intelligence, spent a long time to figure out the situation. He reported to Yu Xiao's troops,
"Just now, our brothers received news that the GCH had a meeting and issued an order for our city defense troops to find an opportunity to withdraw from Nanjing.”
Yu Xiao Qing was stunned, his mind buzzing.
"Retreat? To... Where to?"
"I didn't say." Zhang Lixian said helplessly. He wants us to retreat."
Yu Xiao Qing's face flushed red, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
"He's too irresponsible. Back then, he said that he wanted to defend to the death and live and die with Nanjing. Even the ferry was withdrawn. I even prepared a coffin. Now you want us to retreat?"
"Where should we retreat to? The Japanese army has surrounded us, and there are no more boats on the river. We have nowhere to go."
Yu Xiao Qing's face was filled with despair.
They had been tricked by GCH.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who had been tricked. Many troops had been tricked as well.
The entire Nanjing City was in chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Nanjing, the Japanese army's 6th division took the lead and killed everyone they saw.
Nanjing was no longer safe.
Many of the generals knew that the disaster was leading the way, so they were more ruthless. They abandoned their troops and crossed the river to escape.
But Yu Xiao Qing couldn't do this.
He would not give up on his comrades.
At this moment, he thought of Xiao Yan.
The young man who had suggested that he lead his troops and retreat before the others.
When Xiao Yan chatted with him just now, he could basically tell Yu Xiao Qing that he was going to spoil the story, but Yu Xiao Qing didn't listen.
Yu Xiao Qing regretted not listening to his suggestion and leading his troops to retreat first.
Now that she had been betrayed by her superior, it was too late to cry.
Yu Xiao Qing immediately sent someone to find Xiao Yan.
However, he was no longer in the regiment headquarters. Xiao Yan had already left to look for Fang Min.
Yu Xiao Qing gritted his teeth and ordered,
"Everyone, listen up."
Hai Zhengchong, Zhang Lixian, and the other core members stood at attention.
"Let's gather the whole team and go find Xiao Yan."”
All his subordinates were stunned.
In such a situation, if they didn't think of a way to escape, why would they look for him?
Yu Xiao Qing added,"I have been in the army for many years, but I have never seen someone as powerful as Xiao Yan. I firmly believe that only he has the ability to lead our regiment out of Nanjing safely.”
"Yes."
