Chapter 201 Successful Breakout
Chapter 201 Successful Breakout
"Wow! Who are these brothers? Why are they so powerful?"
Tang Shengzhi wiped the sweat and gunpowder from his face and looked at the group of men in black in front of him with amazement in his eyes.
The Twelve Beauties put away their guns, walked quickly to Tang Shengzhi, took off the black scarf on their faces, revealing a heroic face.
"Commander Tang, Commander Huang, and Commander Xie, we have long heard of your great names!" The Twelve Beauties saluted with fists clasped together, their voices loud and powerful, "We are here to support you on the orders of Miss Jiang!"
"Miss Jiang?" The three of them looked at each other and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"Which Miss Jiang?" the guard couldn't help but ask.
"Who else could it be? It would naturally be our Miss Jiang Shiyuan!"
The Twelve Beauties smiled and explained, "We are all friends of Miss Jiang. We were entrusted by her to pick you up near Zijin Mountain!"
"What?!" Tang Shengzhi, Xie Jinyuan and others were shocked when they heard this.
"Miss Jiang...how did she know that we would break out from here?" Xie Jinyuan asked in disbelief.
"Yes, this Purple Mountain route was a temporary decision made by us!" the guard also said.
The Twelve Beauties smiled slightly and explained, "Miss Jiang is very good at predicting things. She had already guessed that you might choose this route to break out, so she arranged for us to pick you up in advance."
"So that's it!" Tang Shengzhi suddenly realized, and his admiration for Jiang Shiyuan increased a little more.
"Miss Jiang is truly a man of great foresight!" Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but sigh.
In order not to expose Jiang Shiyuan's identity on the Red Party side, the Twelve Beauties only said that they were people from the underworld outside the city of Jinling.
As the boss of the family, he had once been saved by Jiang Shiyuan, so he agreed to Miss Jiang's commission without hesitation.
"Master, you are so righteous. I, Tang, admire you!" Tang Shengzhi bowed to the Twelve Beauties gratefully. "Please also convey my sincerest gratitude to Miss Jiang!"
"Commander Tang, you are too polite. This is what we should do." The Twelve Beauties quickly helped Tang Shengzhi up. "Time is running out. Let's evacuate here quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes, let's retreat quickly!" Tang Shengzhi also realized that now was not the time to exchange pleasantries, so he hurriedly called upon the remaining troops and followed the Twelve Beauties and others, disappearing into the night.
In this way, with the help of the Twelve Beauties and others, Tang Shengzhi and Xie Jinyuan led the remnants and finally succeeded in breaking out of Jinling City, heading westward towards Yucheng.
In fact, Jiang Shiyuan had found the Twelve Beauties at the secret contact point of the Jinling underground party a week ago based on the address and contact code provided by Gu Fangxun, and asked him to meet the Jinling defenders near Purple Mountain today.
After the Twelve Beauties reported the matter to the organization, the organization immediately approved the action.
After all, this is a critical period for the Red and White parties to cooperate in the fight against the Japanese invaders. It is the Red Party's obligation to rescue the White Party's Nanjing defenders.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" The Twelve Beauties lowered their voices, urging the team to speed up while vigilantly observing the movements around them.
"Brothers, cheer up! We will soon reach the safe area!" Xie Jinyuan also followed to boost morale.
"Da da da..." Suddenly, a burst of intensive gunfire came from the front, breaking the silence of the forest.
"There's an ambush! Hide quickly!" The Twelve Beauties' faces changed and they threw Tang Shengzhi to the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Bullets whizzed past their heads, hitting the tree trunks and splashing wood chips.
"Damn it, the Japs are chasing us!" the guard cursed angrily and raised his machine gun to prepare to fight back.
"Don't shoot! You'll be exposed if you do that!" The Twelve Beauties held down the muzzle of his gun and said, "Follow me!"
He led everyone to quickly move behind a huge rock and used the terrain advantage to deal with the Japanese pirates.
"Boss, what should we do now? The Japanese's firepower is too strong, we may not be able to get out!" Tang Shengzhi asked anxiously.
"Don't panic, Commander Tang. I have already sent someone to contact Miss Jiang. I believe she will send someone to pick us up soon!" The Twelve Beauties comforted him while calmly observing the enemy situation.
"Miss Jiang? Where is she? How can she meet us?" Xie Jinyuan asked puzzledly.
"That... I don't know either." The Twelve Beauties scratched their heads awkwardly. "Miss Jiang is very powerful, so don't worry!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several deafening explosions sounded. The Japanese pirates' mortar shells fell near them, causing rocks to fly and trees to fall.
"Not good! The Japs are getting serious!" The Twelve Beauties' faces darkened, "Brothers, prepare to break out!"
"Let's fight them!" Tang Shengzhi, Xie Jinyuan and others also drew out their pistols, ready to make a final desperate fight.
"Wait!" At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind them, "Who said you were going to fight them to the death?"
When everyone looked back, they saw a woman in a black windbreaker and a black top hat, who had stood behind them without them noticing.
"Ms. Jiang...Ms. Jiang?!" Tang Shengzhi, Xie Jinyuan and others suddenly widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief.
"It's me." Jiang Shiyuan took off his hat, revealing his clear and bright eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm here to take you out of Jinling safely!"
"Miss Jiang, why are you here? It's too dangerous here, please leave quickly!" Tang Shengzhi said anxiously.
"Yes, Miss Jiang, just leave this to us, you should withdraw quickly!" Xie Jinyuan also advised.
"Don't worry, now that I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you." Jiang Shiyuan said firmly, "Just follow me!"
After Jiang Shiyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the dense forest behind him.
In the real world, the area around Zijin Mountain in Jinling was once a Chinese herbal medicine experimental base of their University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Jiang Shiyuan knew the distribution of herbs and the terrain here very well.
Seeing this, Tang Shengzhi, Huang Wei, Xie Jinyuan and others still had doubts in their hearts, but they chose to believe Jiang Shiyuan and followed her into the depths of the jungle.
……
In the early morning of December 12, Nanjing fell.
The Japanese pirates captured Zhonghua Gate, Guanghua Gate, Tongji Gate, Yuhuatai and other places, and most of the gates of Jinling City fell into their hands.
However, what surprised the Japanese army was that the city's fortifications were empty and they did not encounter any resistance from the Nanjing defenders.
"What? Where are the Chinese troops?"
"Did they all run away?"
"Baga! Chase them! We can't let them get away!"
The Japanese pirates searched the empty streets but found no trace of the Chinese army.
They didn't know that just a few hours before they broke through the city of Jinling, the defenders in the city, including senior generals such as Tang Shengzhi, Huang Wei and Xie Jinyuan, had safely evacuated the city of Jinling with the help of Jiang Shiyuan.
Originally, in the history of the real world, due to command errors of the Chinese army during the retreat, except for a few troops that successfully broke through, most of the troops were trapped in the city and were brutally slaughtered by Japanese pirates after the city was broken.
This time, Jiang Shiyuan, with his wisdom and courage, once again changed history and saved the lives of countless Chinese soldiers!
