Chapter 104: God of Death

(...After fighting in Nanjing for two days, the tragic moment on the front line gave many people a very bad premonition. At that time, many people originally wanted to leave, but there was no chance. Why did so many people stay in the city waiting to be massacred when they fell in Nanjing? It’s not that the people don’t want to leave, but they can’t leave!... Excerpted from "Grandpa's Memories of the War of Resistance")

The vanguard, the pioneer of the road, suddenly became a waste, in a short moment! Cao Xiaomin twisted the neck of the Japanese soldier who was pounced on him with all his might. At the same time, he felt a rhythmic pain coming from his left chest. When he gasped and supported the rifle with his left hand, the severe pain had spread to half of his body - he couldn't support himself! It was over, and he felt a panic in his heart. He looked down at the scratched cotton coat, which had already sucked blood and dripped out. The bayonet was very serious, and it might have cut off a large piece of his chest muscle...

"Boom!" The grenade exploded among the brothers. As the smoke rose, he saw the exploded body being thrown in all directions. One of them fell to him with a "click"... The explosion in the narrow alley made his hearing lose in an instant, and his ears were filled with buzzing reverb. Dizzy, lost balance, and lost half of his body's ability to move... But he couldn't let himself faint, he had to get up to fight, not for any mission, but just to survive!

"Boom!" Another grenade exploded and landed on the side of the Japanese, a little further away; but the explosion swept over the alley, and the scorching air hit his face before he held his breath... The lungs seemed to be burned, and he couldn't help coughing. After every time he coughed, he couldn't help but inhale the choking heat mixed with a large amount of dusty air. The cough itself could take his life, and he couldn't bear it... He just started with a rifle with his right hand just now.

Cao Xiaomin, who was dizzy and could not stand at all, fell down again; he knew that he was in a desperate moment. The night before, he brought a squad of soldiers to blow up a group of Japanese soldiers with grenades and rushed up to kill a group of brothers from the 159th Division. Now the characters are exchanged. If a Japanese soldier appears in the smoke, a bayonet will pierce into his body and leave with a "cry" sound, and he will die at the entrance of this alley...

A Japanese soldier appeared, and Cao Xiaomin looked at his limbs but was unable to resist at all. He saw the body of a hand-to-hand combat master "snoring" under his feet. He didn't know whether he died under a bayonet or a grenade explosion. This was meaningless, the key was that no one was blocking him...

The firelight blooming in the smoke was his brother firing, and there were brothers who were killing him behind him! After the gun was knocked down by a shot, the brother rushed towards the Japanese behind him, and then the grenade exploded. In the depths of the alley... Am I really deaf? Will I recover? Cao Xiaomin opened his mouth wide and tried to minimize the damage to his ears by the shock wave. He watched the explosion of fire extinguished in an instant, watched the second brother pass by, and watched the brother rushing in front fall... Under another wave of scorching rush, he finally fainted...

The torn pain made Cao Xiaomin suddenly wake up... Ah! He finally fainted again with confidence. What he saw was a familiar face. Liu Junling raised his left shoulder and pulled his wound...

"Company Commander Zheng led us to fight and retreat. Later, he led the brothers from the last squad to support him and asked Xie Zhong and I to retreat first..." Liu Junling, a burly man from the martial arts world, suddenly burst into tears: "Later, as we walked, somehow we caught up with the Japanese behind us... The injured brothers asked us to leave, and they held us... The ones who were the most injured were left, and each one was left with grenades, and finally the minor wounded..." Liu Junling choked for a long time before continuing the words behind: "The twenty-two wounded people, Commander Zheng handed us over to us with the transfer brothers, but none of them were brought out; they were all left on the road, and they covered me and Xie Zhong and survived..."

After listening to Liu Junling's report in silence, his ears were still as if something was blocking. Listening to Liu Junling's speech was like a long distance away. He understood the mood of this soldier who was born in a man in the martial arts world. He knew the feeling of a group of brothers who were sacrificed and he survived... He owed many brothers' debts to life and death. Now Liu Junling also owed them, but Liu Junling still owed them little, and he was not used to it...

Liu Junling and Xie Zhong fled here and happened to meet Cao Xiaomin and the Japanese blocked a narrow alley and fought to the death. They just happened to see the last Chinese Democratic Party soldier lying to the ground! Unlike other soldiers, Liu Junling's weapon was two twenty sounds he brought himself; in such an environment, it was no different from two small machine guns. The remaining four Japanese were just killed by Liu Junling who suddenly flashed out when they thought they could kill the Kuomintang army and they were killed by Liu Junling alone!

"Our people!" Xie Zhong shouted in front of him with a romance. They walked through the alley, but unexpectedly they met the brothers who were separated behind the Japanese.

"Which position are you from? Who are your commanders? Do you know how to get to the refugee camp?..." Cao Xiaomin had a series of problems as soon as he met.

"We are soldiers who defended the Third Battalion of the 306th Regiment of the 74th Army of Shuiximen, and battalion commander Hu Hao..." Dizzy! Isn't this Cao Xiaomin's original army number?

The bearded face, the commander who brought him from the rear medical station could never see him again! Life is so fragile, even if you are a soldier with a gun - from the soldiers' report Cao Xiaomin learned that Hu Hao had died the day before; he had suffered heavy injuries on the previous day and was unable to continue to hold on. Later, he was hit by the Japanese infantry machine gunners and aviation machine guns on the Japanese plane... "Okay, China wants such a soldier..." On the Luodian position, Battalion Commander Hu punched him in the chest, it seemed that he could still feel the strength, but Battalion Commander Hu could no longer see him, and the side on the Luodian position became a perfect deed...

The refugee camp was built by the Germans. This refugee camp was already in operation before the war in Nanjing. When Shanghai was still in the battle, the Japanese planes had already raided Nanjing many times. At that time, someone had already escaped into the refugee camp that had just been built. Now this place is hundreds of times larger, but it is crowded. In addition to the people who fled from all over the country, many Nanjing citizens have also come. Many of these people who were extremely bleak in their mood once went to the riverside and thought of going to the north of the Yangtze River; but reality ruthlessly tore their dreams apart, and the Yangtze River cannot pass!

...After fighting in Nanjing for two days, the tragic moment on the line gave many people a very bad premonition. At that time, many people originally wanted to leave, but there was no chance. Why did so many people stay in the city waiting to be massacred when they fell in Nanjing? It’s not that the people don’t want to leave, but they can’t leave!... Cao Xiaomin walked into the refugee camp under the leadership of a German and felt those fearful eyes circling on him; the desolate cry of women kept coming from a distance, Cao Xiao

The people felt a lot of misery. Grandpa once talked about the difficulties of the people in Nanjing. The commander of the garrison in Nanjing now knows that it was the bastard named Tang Shengzhi who had already stepped down the river ban very early. In addition to the soldiers, the people who were forbidden to cross the river were also included! He had burned many ferries on the Yangtze River earlier. He wanted to show his determination to live and die with Nanjing, but he ran away by himself! After he fled by himself, the only way for most soldiers and almost all Nanjing citizens who wanted to escape was left!

Maybe the situation is much better than the original time and space? Cao Xiaomin could only comfort himself like this. He didn't know that he had just saved thousands of soldiers after taking his brothers to fight bloodyly for a day and a night. He had been protecting the people behind him hardly fled one more!

He could feel from those figures he deliberately cared over and there were indeed many soldiers hidden here. When he came, he was like a god of death, who sent these soldiers to death! In addition to the bloody smell on his body, what made him feel even more like the smell of death on his body was his heart: he was trying to convince these soldiers who fled to the refugee camp to go to the city to fight street battles, and most of the people who followed him from here soon would die in battle, just like the brothers fighting in the city now... He is really a god of death, he is here to catch his soul!

Cao Xiaomin's appearance was a shock to everyone in the refugee camp: they hadn't seen Chinese Democratic Party soldiers for a long time, and the deserters who were involved in the refugee camp were all wearing people's clothes. Now, a soldier in military uniform appeared in front of them!

This half-body military uniform was soaked in blood, her hair and beard were wrapped in a piece mixed with various blood and dust. It was glued into a "bird's nest". Who was the soldier with a face covered with blood and dust in the middle? Where did he come? What did he do?... Isn't this a concession? How could there be a Chinese Democratic Party soldier with guns? Everyone was suspicious - it wasn't the Japanese that had already in full swing, it was the Kuomintang army that rushed in with guns to take refuge? Cao Xiaomin's arrival immediately conveyed a panic to the entire battalion...

"If the Japanese found that there were so many Chinese Democratic Party soldiers in the refugee camp, do you think they would still make the refugee camp safe? They were going to massacre the city. Maybe under your protection, many people could be preserved, but the existence of soldiers would make your efforts go to nothing... I came to take them away. I took the soldiers away, and the refugee camp might be safe. Let me go in, take the soldiers away with the gun, and take the soldiers away..." Cao Xiaomin convinced Mr. Rabe, who was in charge of the refugee camp, and persuaded the officials of the concession. He came with the gun, and he came to take the soldiers in the refugee camp and took them to the line of fire, just like the god of death did.
