Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 172: Gamble your life and help the garrison cross the river

How could a person not have any relics?

He was not a soldier, but an officer, a captain and company commander.

"Why?" Xiao Ya stopped Huang Laoyao and came to Zhang Guifang and asked in a soft voice.

Zhang Guifang seemed to be thinking about something. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, then raised her head and looked at Xiao Ya with tears in her eyes and said, "The tanks came, and the third company commander and two soldiers died with them while holding the explosive packs. We didn't find anything. Not even a piece of cloth."

It exploded.

Several people stopped talking. Xiao Ya sighed and said nothing. After a while, she turned to Shen Xin and said, "I plan to build a martyrs' consolation association in Chongqing. We will pay for it and the government will subsidize it to take care of these widows and orphans. How can they live without their husbands?"

Du Xun thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I'm afraid this matter is difficult for you. You can go find Principal Zhang's wife."

Principal Zhang is a general of the first rank, a high-ranking military officer. During the Battle of Shanghai, he fell ill and had to retreat from the front line to the second line. He has great prestige in the army, and his wife came forward to assist him. If anyone in Chongqing dared to covet the money, they would be dead.

"You're talking about my godmother." Xiao Ya blinked and hummed. "Yes, who else is more suitable for this matter than my godmother?"

Huang Laoyao pulled Du Xun in confusion. He had no good face for the Lixing Society's supervisory team, or the entire Lixing Society, but Du Xun was an exception. This man was powerful, and he also protected his wife, which reduced a lot of his pressure.

"That Principal Zhang?" Huang Laoya didn't understand the situation, and what was going on with his godmother.

Du Xun coughed and said, "Principal Zhang Zhizhong, his wife is the godmother of your regiment commander's wife, and the principal is a long-time friend of your regiment commander Zhou's father."

My grandmother.

Huang Laoyao almost fell to his knees. He really didn't expect that his wife's background was so fierce.

"Okay, go in. Don't say that the third company commander died. Just say that we were asked to take them to Chongqing." Xiao Ya reminded the people present and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhang Guifang. "Wipe your tears. Don't let others see anything.

Zhou Weiguo didn't know that Xiao Ya had gone to Shancheng. The only one who knew about this was Fang Shengli, but Fang Shengli didn't have time to care about it.

The Japanese army had already arrived outside Zhonghuamen. The army had issued an order to evacuate a day ago, but because the order was not properly communicated, almost all the troops were running towards Xiaguan.

Only the 74th Army did not follow the orders from above and ran to the place designated by the Independent Regiment.

Boom boom... boom boom boom...

Tutu... Tutu...

On the river surface at Xiaguan, Fang Shengli no longer cared about his own safety.

As soon as the troops began to evacuate, Japanese bombers and gunboats began to appear and intercepted the troops from crossing the river. He had no choice but to arrive at the front line in person, command anti-aircraft machine guns to intercept the Japanese bombers, and then use artillery positions to bombard the gunboats on the river.

Heads were swaying on the river, and the ferry was packed with people.

Once a ship is blown up, the people on board will most likely die.

"Deputy Regimental Officer, Deputy Regimental Officer, our artillery has suffered heavy losses." Chen Qi came to Fang Shengli with a bandage hanging from his neck. "Their naval guns are too fierce."

Fang Shengli turned his head and glanced at him. "Go back to your position. Today, even if you have to wipe out all the artillery, you have to stop the gunboats and not let them rush over."

"Deputy regiment commander, please dispatch two anti-aircraft machine guns for assistance." Chen Qi was about to kneel down. His artillery deployment was already very scattered, and could not withstand the opponent's large-caliber artillery.

Fang Shengli lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying to the messenger beside him, "Ask Gao Yun to dispatch three anti-aircraft machine guns. Also, immediately send a telegram to the artillery company at the military headquarters, asking them to help intercept the gunboats on the river.

The military had an artillery battalion, but there was also a heavy artillery company. This was the heavy artillery that Zhou Weiguo had purchased and that Yu Huohuo had taken away.

Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…

Four 105mm heavy guns began to block the river a few minutes later. With the coordinates, one of the gunboats was not sunk, and the other was hit in the power system and was probably unable to leave.

The remaining two ships turned around and left.

As for air firepower, the military also mobilized anti-aircraft weapons to assist in the defense of Shimonoseki and to support the evacuation of troops.

"These common people are causing trouble." They saw that many of the ropes were occupied by the common people. Not only that, they also brought large and small bags, which seriously hindered their speed of crossing the river. This resulted in the people behind them not being able to pull the ropes at all, and they could only cross on foot. But in this winter, if you get a cramp when you go into the river, you will surely die.

"What can we do? They refused to evacuate even when we were attacked. Now that they have entered the city, they know to run away. I don't know what they are thinking."

"Victory, we can't go on like this. We must stop this behavior, otherwise the troops will be too slow to evacuate. We need to notify them that they need to cross the river and throw those things away for me. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless."

We cannot let these properties affect the troops’ crossing of the river.

There is another army blocking behind Xiaguan. If they cannot stop the Japanese troops, they will really attack. At that time, all the soldiers and civilians in Xiaguan will be captured.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Kill." Xiao Ye said, looking at Fang Shengli. "A merciful army is not a good one. You can't be merciful this time. Killing people is also saving people. Killing a hundred people or saving a thousand or even more people, what will you choose?"

Fang Shengli bit his lip and took off his helmet and threw it away. "I don't want to be the deputy regiment commander anymore. If the higher-ups want to remove me, then just do it."

"Sniper, aim at the river surface, shoot all the big and small bags, the Sutong River surface is the lifeline for evacuation."

Seeing him give the order, Ono turned around and called Chen Ning, "Let's go. They have their mission, and we have ours, too."

Chen Ning didn't understand. Xiao Ye said without hesitation, "If they come here without a place to keep warm, most of them will freeze to death. Let's prepare some ginger soup and chili water to keep them warm.

"Director, no, we can't do this."

Ok……

Xiao Ye looked at Chen Ning; "You are not the kind of stingy person, Chen Ning, we can make money, but we also have to see clearly, in this case, if we don't show up."

Chen Ning laughed out loud, "Director, you know I'm not a stingy person, but we really can't prepare this."

"What?" Ono almost jumped up and pointed at the river. "Those are your fellow villagers and comrades, and you are going to watch them die without helping them."

"I..." Chen Ning didn't know what to say and could only look at Fang Shengli beside him.

Fang Shengli took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, we really can't prepare."
