The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 182 First Utterance in Jinling City

Guo Xiangdi's face was contorted into a rag from the pain.

He could only bear the pain and lead the way.

Xiao Dongbei had already retracted the bayonet in his hand. Guo Xiangdi watched the blood on the bayonet.

He hated it to the bone in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

It was too painful!

He forced a smile, "Officer! I'm from the government. Help me bandage the wound on my hand!"

Xiao Dongbei kicked him coldly, "Catch the person sooner, and you'll get a bandage sooner."

As Guo Xiangdi walked, he said, "Tong Jingwei and the others are up ahead. Ren Kangping and Zhu Deyuan are also sending signals in other places."

When Chiang Kai-shek heard the alarm at the small villa near Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum,

he said unhappily, "Damn it! The Japanese planes are here again."

He hurriedly followed his adjutant and guards into the air-raid shelter.

Lin Fan, running halfway, saw the fireworks rising in the direction of the garrison and his face darkened.

Qian Youcai also said bitterly, "Damn it! Someone is leading the Japanese.

I'm afraid they're really coming for you this time."

Lin Fan said hatefully, "I'm going to arrest all these people."

Qian Youcai quickly stopped him, "Don't! We can't afford to offend those people."

As they spoke, the planes in the sky had already begun to dive.

Looking at the three bombers diving towards the ground.

Lin Fan's heart tightened: Now is the time to fire the cannons.

As he thought this, continuous explosions suddenly rang out from the ground.

Many red lines shot out from the ground towards the sky.

A smile finally appeared on Lin Fan's face, knowing that it was good to resist.

Qian Youcai looked at Lin Fan in shock, "Brother Lin! You can even fire cannons!"

Lin Fan's face straightened, "What kind of artilleryman doesn't fire cannons?"

As he spoke, a bomber in the air was unable to dodge and suddenly went down in flames, crashing to the ground.

The situation in the air was seen by countless people in Nanjing.

Immediately someone reported to Chiang Kai-shek, "Report to the President! The Japanese planes aren't bombing us here, but Yuhuatai in the north of the city.

But one plane was shot down by the anti-aircraft fire at that location."

Chiang Kai-shek was happy, "Good! Good! We don't have any anti-aircraft fire in the north of the city.

Who shot it down?"

Sun Yuanliang had already called to report the good news, "Report to the President! My unit's Special Operations Company has just returned from Jiangyin.

Their first shot was a success, destroying three enemy bombers.

The remaining enemy planes fled in panic."

Chiang Kai-shek said happily, "Good! Give my congratulations to the officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Company."

Putting down the phone, the excitement just now was swept away, "What a strong army, but we have different paths."

Dai Li asked, "Should we?" and made a slashing gesture.

"The country is in crisis! Let's not do it for the time being. Let him make more contributions to the country!"

When Lin Fan returned to the camp, the enemy planes had already retreated.

Today, when Squadron Leader Shimokata Sho's anti-aircraft guns on the ground began firing, he immediately understood:

He met an old acquaintance again.

During these days, he and the Special Operations Company's anti-aircraft guns had become acquainted.

He could tell from the firing habits of those anti-aircraft guns that they were the same people, the same guns, from Jiangyin.

Therefore: Squadron Leader Shimokata Sho decisively ordered the entire team to retreat.

The entire squadron didn't have to continue to tangle, and none of the three attack planes were allowed to launch an attack.

As for the three bombers, he could only express regret.

They had already dived into someone else's ambush, so those who could run should run quickly.

In fact, Squadron Leader Shimokata Sho knew clearly in his heart: the three bombers would not be able to escape.

If they could really escape, he wouldn't have ordered the entire team to retreat.

Sun Yuanliang arrived at the Special Operations Company's garrison even before Lin Fan.

He greatly praised the heavy artillery squad that operated the anti-aircraft guns for their counterattack.

He shook hands with each of them, saying that he would definitely ask for credit for them.

When he saw Lin Fan return, he was also all smiles.

When Lin Fan returned, Xiao Dongbei immediately told him about the five people they had captured for "setting off fireworks" to celebrate.

Lin Fan was both surprised and delighted this time: he didn't expect that even when he wasn't in the Special Operations Company, the team would still be just as combat effective.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate to vigorously praise these soldiers of the Special Operations Company.

Sun Yuanliang wasn't very interested when he heard that they had caught five spies.

He followed them in, but before he even reached the room where the people were being held.

He heard Guo Xiangdi shouting loudly, "I want to see a lawyer, I want to make a phone call.

I want to find Director Wang."

Hearing this voice, Sun Yuanliang asked, "What's this person's name?"

"Guo Xiangdi! He says he's from the government," Xiao Dongbei immediately said.

Sun Yuanliang said with a wry smile, "This person really is, but you can ask him however you want.

Just pretend I wasn't here."

After speaking, he didn't go in, but turned around and left.

Lin Fan looked at Guo Xiangdi, "Confess your superiors, subordinates, and contact codes.

So you can avoid suffering."

Guo Xiangdi looked at Xiao Dongbei standing next to Lin Fan with an eager expression.

He immediately chickened out, "We all contact through Tong Jingwei, I don't know anything else!

Officer, let me go! I'll never come here again."

Looking at this person who confessed everything in a few words, he really couldn't understand why he wanted to be a spy.

Lin Fan asked, "You work in the government, so you should be managed by them if you're eating their food.

If not wholeheartedly thinking for the government, at least you shouldn't smash the bowl!

How did you think of becoming a traitor and working for the Japanese?"

Guo Xiangdi said with a mournful face, "There's corruption and nepotism in the government.

It's only been established for less than thirty years, and it's already rotten to the core.

I just want fairness, fairness!"

"The Japanese are coming, and they'll give you the fairness you want?" Lin Fan was puzzled.

"At least it won't be as rotten as it is now." Guo Xiangdi was losing confidence after being questioned by Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't know how such a person read books, "A son doesn't嫌 his mother for being ugly, a dog doesn't 嫌 his home for being poor.

You think that if this country is unfair, you can borrow the power of the Easterners to achieve your goals?

The Japanese will be so kind?"

"..." Guo Xiangdi stopped talking.

Lin Fan waved his hand and asked someone to take him down and continue to detain him.

When they interrogated Tong Jingwei, Tong Jingwei looked at the people in the interrogation room, "Let me go quickly, I'm an international friend.

My nationality is Western! You're causing a diplomatic incident."

Lin Fan sneered, "Westerner? They like to eat rare steak the most.

Serve him one!"

Xiao Dongbei immediately began to take action.

At this time, a team of military police came outside the Special Operations Company's garrison.

They said they were here to take away the five spies they had just caught today.

Lin Fan had someone send out the signed confessions of guilt that these people had just made, along with the five people.

As for the radio station, he was unwilling to hand it over no matter what.

Qian Youcai only came out after those military police had left.

He said cautiously, "If you don't give them the radio station, be careful they make things difficult for you."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "They wouldn't dare! Let's go, let's continue drinking.

We brothers haven't had enough to drink yet."

Qian Youcai, who had just seen the Special Operations Company's cannons, said to Lin Fan in a low voice, "We have all the artillery shells you need here.

But I don't dare to give you too much, you need to apply for them."

Lin Fan didn't care, "We'll definitely apply through normal channels. As for the quantity, we'll take whatever we can get for now.

In a few days, these things will be taken over by the Japanese, and they'll be used to fight us."

Qian Youcai was startled, "Didn't President Chiang say that he would definitely defend it to the death?"

Lin Fan said with a wry smile, "Is defending something that can be done just by saying it?"

This time, Lin Fan didn't go out alone, but took two cars and drove all the way to the hotel just now.

Looking at the people sending telegrams by the side of the road, Lin Fan always felt uneasy!

Qian Youcai said, "President Chiang can't do anything about these people, so just turn a blind eye."

Lin Fan asked, "Will the five people the military police took away today be released?"

"Probably not, it takes a lot of energy to get someone out of the military police department.

It's better for the Japanese to spend so much effort to save people, they might as well recruit another batch of new people.

Anyway, it's not like they can't recruit people," Qian Youcai said.

So that's how it is! Lin Fan really understood this time.

There are too many people in this world like Dong Jingwei and Guo Xiangdi.

The Japanese don't have to worry about not being able to find people at all.

Lin Fan's main purpose in finding Qian Youcai today wasn't to ask him for equipment.

His main purpose was to ask Qian Youcai to lead the way so that the Special Operations Company could become familiar with all the military supply depots in Nanjing.

Lin Fan's idea was no different from his idea in Jiangyin. He wanted to take as much equipment as possible that the National Army didn't have time to take away when they retreated.

These supplies were the hard-earned money of the people of the whole country. If the Special Operations Company took one more truckload out, the Japanese would capture one less truckload.

And the Special Operations Company could use these supplies to fight the Japanese. The gains and losses between going in and out were much greater.

This kind of thing required the cooperation of this fat man, Qian Youcai.

After Qian Youcai knew Lin Fan's idea, he didn't hesitate at all and agreed readily.

If he wasn't unfamiliar with the Jiangning Fortress, Lin Fan really wouldn't be able to get in. Lin Fan even wanted to take down those cannons on the Jiangning Fortress and drag them away.

It was a pity to leave these cannons to the Japanese.

But Lin Fan also knew that he couldn't change this situation with his own strength alone.

One person's ability is always limited. If you want to change this situation, you need a lot of people to work hard.

In this regard, Lin Fan was luckier than many people because he already knew the correct direction and path.

He just needed to work hard in this direction.

Lin Fan and Qian Youcai agreed that they would start going to the various warehouses managed by Qian Youcai tomorrow to familiarize themselves with them.

Qian Youcai strongly invited Lin Fan to go to the cabaret, but Lin Fan declined on the grounds that he needed to go back to arrange the defenses.

When Lin Fan took two cars and walked through the streets and alleys of Jinling.

He could see that the order in the city was still very good so far.

The popularity was particularly strong, and you could see a lot of people in taverns, restaurants, and small shops on the side of the street.

"As expected of the capital of this era, this is where the government is located, and it's not far from the fifth largest city in the world.

With trains and ships connecting, the economy and industry here are very developed."

Lin Fan's men were greatly impressed.

After circling around the city for a long time, Lin Fan and the others returned to the Yuhuatai garrison.

That night, Lin Fan held a meeting for the officers above the squad leader of the Special Operations Company.

Of the forty people who came to the Special Operations Company with Niu Dongxing, eighteen had returned this time, and two had sacrificed in the battle during this period.

But Li Xian still distributed weapons, ammunition, and equipment to these two sacrificed comrades as he did to the others.

They rented a boat together and sent them to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The remaining people were the ones who were specially acting as the backbone of the Special Operations Company.

However, although the number of people in the Special Operations Company had increased now, it had not been expanded, and it was still the company commander and squad leader.

For the time being, Lin Fan didn't want to reorganize it.

There was only one more person at the meeting today, Hui Jianming.

This was because he was the ninth squad leader. From Jiangyin to Nanjing, the daily training of the officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Company gradually affected the ninth squad.

Their squad also began to actively train in assassination.

In this era, the barrel of a gun is the hardest. Like the Special Operations Company, more than a thousand people broke out of the Japanese encirclement. The casualties themselves could be ignored.

This kind of combat effectiveness deeply shocked all the soldiers of the Ninth Squad.

Therefore, after they arrived in Nanjing, someone had already announced an order to them: all the officers and soldiers who retreated from the Jiangyin Fortress would gather in Wuhan for reorganization.

If they didn't go, they would be treated as missing.

Hui Jianming heard Lin Fan say last time at the Xishan Fort: If you follow me, becoming a general is no problem.

Judging from the battles along the way these few days, Hui Jianming really believed this.

Just based on the number of heavy artillery that Lin Fan's company had brought back from Jiangyin and the number of Japanese soldiers they had killed.

Lin Fan himself had enough credit to be a general.

If this credit was given to anyone in the National Army, even an ordinary soldier would definitely be a major general commander.

It's just that Lin Fan is still a company commander until now.

What Hui Jianming didn't know was that Lin Fan's company commander was self-appointed at the Sihang Warehouse.

Then the Eighty-eighth Division grudgingly acknowledged it.

Then his company commander had always been just a company commander.

The military headquarters had sent someone to ask Hui Jianming, wanting to transfer him to the Jiangning Fortress.

Hui Jianming didn't agree: he wanted to follow Lin Fan.

Now he had also received his reward: he could participate in the senior meetings of the Special Operations Company.

At the meeting: Li Xian first reported on the things that had been completed today.

Of the twenty guerrilla leaders who came to receive training, all but the two who had sacrificed had returned.

All the personnel of the Special Operations Company who had arrived in Nanjing in advance had also returned to the team.

He especially equipped more than 1,500 people in the entire company with chocolate.

In a big city like Nanjing, as long as you have money, it's easy to replenish this kind of thing.

Lin Fan nodded with a smile: This was a thoughtful consideration.

In addition, all the rifles, machine guns, and most of the ammunition that the Special Operations Company had seized since leaving Jiangyin had been sent to the rear with those guerrilla captains.

Lin Fan knew: it wasn't easy to get guns or ammunition in the rear, and now the Special Operations Company's equipment was going to be streamlined.

They needed to free up enough transportation capacity.

Lin Fan nodded: Leave only ten days' worth of supplies, and dispose of everything else.

Don't leave too much ammunition either.

As for the clothing, quilts, bags, and leather shoes that were seized, all the excess should be disposed of.

If we need it, we can borrow it from the Japanese.

When the people present heard Lin Fan's domineering words, they all laughed.

Ji Wudi, who heard this at the door, nodded with deep feeling.

Li Xian wrote this matter down.

"Also! Send out a few teams, ten people in a team, wear plain clothes and carry weapons, pay attention to observing around our garrison.

Today, I heard from Qian Youcai that there are too many Japanese spies in this Jinling City.

Let everyone be bolder, rather catch the wrong one than let one go."

These urgent matters were dealt with.

Lin Fan began to talk about the theme of today's meeting: "Today's meeting is to talk about my next ideas:

First, Nanjing can't be defended. Let's not ask why we came to Nanjing.

This is our capital. As soldiers of this country, protecting our home and defending our country, if we don't put in any effort when the capital is humiliated, it's not right.

Second, we have to transfer as many war materials out of here as possible, just like we did in Jiangyin.

If we don't take these materials away, they'll only benefit the Japanese.

Just like in the Jiangyin Fortress, if these cannons hadn't been dragged to Nanjing by us.

The only ones who would have benefited would have been the Japanese.

The most important topic of today's meeting is, which direction should we retreat in when we can't defend Nanjing?"

Lin Fan's first two questions explained the meaning and purpose of coming to Nanjing.

The last question was the real question.

Chen Sichuan said loudly, "Of course, we should go up the Yangtze River and return to Sichuan."

Xiao Dongbei immediately said, "Cross the Yangtze River and go to the Northeast!"

After the two of them finished speaking, Hui Jianming thought for a while, "Company Commander, what are our plans this time?"

Lin Fan didn't quite understand.

Hui Jianming said, "Is the Company Commander preparing to retreat with the main force of the National Army? Or are we going to act alone like we did when we came out of Jiangyin!"

"Act alone! If we go with the main force, anyone who comes out is going to be a higher rank than me, and they'll give me an order: Defend to the death! Cover the retreat!

Should I listen or not?"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

Hui Jianming didn't laugh, "We break through on our own, what happens after we break through? Do we return to the army or not?"

This is a question!

This is a big question!

Li Xian looked at Lin Fan nervously: on the surface, this is just a question of whether to return to the army or not, but in reality, it's a choice of route!

Lin Fan didn't hesitate, "We won't return to the army this time, we're going to establish our own base area behind the Japanese."

Li Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief: it would be good if Lin Fan wasn't determined to follow Chiang Kai-shek.

In fact, Lin Fan's performance during this period was really worrying: every one of his actions was considering the problem from Chiang Kai-shek's perspective.

At the same time, Lin Fan relied on the main force of the regular army to fight a frontal war every time he fought.

This had already made many comrades worry: was Lin Fan a double-dealer!

Now that Lin Fan had decided to independently establish a base area, this question was no longer a question!

Hearing Lin Fan's answer, Hui Jianming pointed to the map and said, "The Northeast is too far, we can't possibly get there.

Sichuan is a good place to recuperate, but the government has already moved there.

We can't go there either, and it's not behind enemy lines."

His finger pointed in the area of Ma'anshan and Lishui: "This area is possible."

Lin Fan looked at that area, "Easy to attack, easy to defend. If we can't defend it, we can continue to retreat.

It's indeed a good place.

Do you have any other opinions?"

Zhen Danxiao said, "It's a mountainous area, we'll become poorer and poorer as we fight!"

Everyone laughed, and Lin Fan also laughed.

He looked at the others who were all laughing and said seriously, "This is the most important question!

If our team wants to develop, we have to consider not only safety but also money.

Fighting a war is fighting logistics, it's fighting money.

If the lives of the people in our base area are getting harder and harder.

Are we going to use the reason that everyone is suffering because of fighting the Japanese to persuade the people?

Instead of that, they might think it's better not to resist."

Lin Fan's words made Li Xian's face look a little bad.

Lin Fan continued, "Therefore, the base area we establish must not increase the burden on the ordinary people in the base area.

My opinion is to establish the base area in this area."

He drew a circle around Hangzhou, Lin'an, Anji, and Ningguo with his hand.

"We want to establish a base area in this area, and the influence must cover the entire Central China region."

Li Xian asked, "Isn't establishing a base area here a direct confrontation with the Japanese?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "In order to occupy Nanjing, the Japanese have concentrated all their troops here.

There aren't many Japanese troops in Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Wuxi. We can completely deal with them.

There's one advantage to choosing these places, they're close to Shanghai!"

"Close to Shanghai!" As soon as these four words came out, everyone in the Special Operations Company, except Chun Jianming, laughed.

These four words! The connotation is rich.

Hui Jianming didn't understand, and he obviously felt that he was separated from the people in the Special Operations Company by a layer.

Lin Fan didn't hide it from him, "On November 5th, we did the thing with the three Japanese banks in Shanghai.

They're laughing at me for even thinking about hitting the Japanese banks.

The two sides are enemies, there's nothing wrong with hitting their ideas.

It's always better than making our own people suffer."

Hui Jianming pointed at these people in surprise, "You did it? No wonder you're so rich, you even give every soldier chocolate.

You eat meat every day, I was wondering, how could you possibly live so well with just the quota for one company?"

Li Xian seriously corrected, "We haven't even applied for our quota yet."

Lin Fan waved his hand, "This is not important! What's important is, does everyone think it's okay to establish the base area in this place?

Of course, I'm not familiar with the specific location, so we can only find it slowly when we get there."

Liu Laopao said seriously, "I think it's okay! As long as it's close to Shanghai, as long as we can get money, we can buy whatever we want.

Not to mention Westerners, even the Japanese will find ways to get what we want and sell it to us."

Lin Fan didn't expect Liu Laopao to have such a deep understanding of human nature, "Merchants are profit-driven, as long as the benefits are enough, they won't hesitate to sell themselves."

Chen Sichuan said, "We'll go wherever the Company Commander says!"

Xiao Dongbei also said, "As long as it's fighting the Japanese, it's okay to go anywhere."

……

The high-level members of the Special Operations Company quickly reached a consensus: the base area would be opened up in the Central China region.

Lin Fan said, "Now that the location for the base area has been chosen, the remaining problem is the route for retreat.

We're moving entirely by car.

We're not afraid of pursuers who use cars to chase us.

We're only afraid of the Japanese chasing us through the railway line. Therefore, we need to prepare some tools, if necessary.

Damage the railway line."

Hui Jianming said, "Damaging a few hundred meters isn't very useful."

Lin Fan agreed, "That's true, if we're going to do it, we have to do it hard, damage ten li, or ten kilometers.

As long as the hoe is used well, there's no railway that can't be dug down!"

These squad leaders laughed again.

"Now let's make a plan for breaking out of Nanjing. We're not familiar with Nanjing and the roads around Nanjing at all.

Therefore, we'll retreat along the road we came from this time.

We're more familiar with these roads."

Lin Fan rearranged the order of retreat again, and the best order: "Tomorrow, each squad must send out a reconnaissance squad to familiarize themselves with all the roads that can be drawn from the garrison to the Yuhuatai defense line.

At the same time, they must also familiarize themselves with the roads for retreating from these places to Jiangyin.

When they come back, mark them all well.

Prepare for emergency use.

Each squad leader must understand at least three retreat routes, and they must also go and walk them in person."

The meeting ended, and each squad leader immediately went back to organize their training.

Lin Fan stood in the camp, staring blankly at Nanjing City.

For the next three months, this city would become hell.

In a place where Lin Fan couldn't see, someone was discussing him.

"This Lin Fan is too arrogant, he shot one of our people, a military command director, a general! Just like that, in the command post.

Later, when he was retreating, I heard that he personally killed the commander of the Xishan Fort.

Just to seize the cannons of the Xishan Fort."

"Director Dai! If this son is not eliminated, where will our face be?"

The person called Director Dai looked at the person speaking in front of him with cold eyes.

He said slowly, "The person I hate the most is a spy. At this time, someone who is cruel to his own people is a spy."

"That's right!" Zou Fohai said loudly.

Director Dai continued, "I didn't tell Quan Yutang to arrest him in the Jiangyin affair, I just told him to investigate secretly.

Who gave him the order so that he could turn a secret investigation into a direct arrest?"

As Chiang Kai-shek's sword, Director Dai had a great reputation and high skills.

No one in the military textile industry was afraid.

Although Zou Fohai was an old man with qualifications and seniority much older than him, he was still a little nervous at this time.

He said with a haha, "Maybe Director Quan misunderstood Director Dai's instructions!

This is not important, what is important is that this Lin Fan is so lawless.

This person must be eliminated!

Otherwise, he will definitely be a disaster."

Director Dai sighed and echoed, "That's true, this person will definitely be a disaster in the future."

Zou Fohai's expression was overjoyed, mainly because Director Dai was about to agree to take action against Lin Fan.

Director Dai continued, "It's just that we're using people right now. This person can lead more than a thousand people.

It's still a bit of a skill to bring out all the cannons in the Jiangyin Fortress.

At least Director Quan and that waste can't do it.

This kind of talent can't die in my hands at this time.

Even if he has to die, let him die on the battlefield.

Or die after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

Zou Fohai's face remained unchanged, "I'll listen to Director Dai's arrangements!"

For the Special Operations Company, this night was the most peaceful night since breaking out of Jiangyin.

For these people in the Nanjing Garrison Command, it was another sleepless night.

On this day, Japanese soldiers appeared everywhere on the outer defense line of Nanjing.

Especially Commander Tang Shengzhi, he had volunteered to take on this position.

He had previously thought that his arrangement was as reliable as an iron barrel.

The Japanese had only just arrived on the outskirts of Nanjing, and the defense line he had arranged was full of loopholes.

He had always claimed to the outside world that he was "calm in the face of danger" and "not greedy for life in the face of difficulties."

At the same time, he also said to President Chiang, "If you don't give the order, I won't retreat."

The implication of this was: if I die, you forced me to die.

Nanjing was now surrounded on three sides, and the land route for retreating to the rear had also been cut off by the Japanese.

On this night, the Nanjing Garrison Command issued a new defense plan: the right flank detachment would firmly defend the Banqiao Town-Dashan line.

The 51st and 58th divisions of the 74th Army would firmly defend the Niushoushan to Hedingqiao line.

The 88th Army would defend Yuhuatai.

The 87th Division of the 71st Army would defend the Hedingqiao to Haizili line, the right flank would be connected to the 88th Army, and the left flank would be connected to the Training Corps.

The Training Corps would defend Zijin Mountain.

The 2nd Army Corps would defend the Yangfangshan-Wulongshan line and the Wulongshan Fortress.

The 36th Division would defend the Hongshan-Mufushan area.

The 66th Army would be used as a reserve team near Dashuiguan.

The 156th Division of the 83rd Army and a regiment of the 36th Division would cover the Qinglongshan-Longwangshan line.

The 103rd and 112th divisions that had retreated from Jiangyin would stand by.

On this day, the atmosphere in the entire Nanjing Garrison was tense. Lin Fan's Special Operations Company had moved all the cannons into position, ready to fire at any time.

The reconnaissance squads of each squad had been sent out to familiarize themselves with the routes.

Lin Fan followed Qian Youcai to inspect the various warehouses.

Qian Youcai distributed all the supplies for the Special Operations Company in November and also distributed those for December.

This was in accordance with the rules.

With this reason, Lin Fan followed him to various warehouses for half a day.

When they parted, Lin Fan said to Qian Youcai, "Nanjing is going to be in chaos next, if it's not easy for you to leave alone.

Follow us!"

Qian Youcai said with embarrassment, "I'm not alone, I can't just leave."

Lin Fan was surprised, "Are your family members still in Nanjing?"

Qian Youcai nodded proudly, "They're not leaving.

I can't leave alone either!"

"How many people are there in your family?"

"With family members, thirteen."

"Let them get ready to leave the city tomorrow." Lin Fan thought for a while.

"They can't leave the city now. Commander Tang will confiscate all the ships and send them to Jiangbei.

To show his determination to fight, hoping that there will be a miracle of burning the boats.

If Nanjing falls, the Japanese will kill people here wantonly.

Let your family members get ready to come to our garrison.

Or go to your warehouse, and we'll leave together then.

If they don't want to go, tie them up and take them with you."

Qian Youcai was embarrassed, "My father is a traditional scholar, nothing is important, integrity is the most important.

If he's forced to leave, he'll bite his tongue and commit suicide."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Don't you have a son or something to threaten him with?"

"A good man, if he doesn't win the war, he won't dare to start a family!"

Lin Fan understood: This was a person who was unwilling to give up the entire forest for one tree.

He reached out and knocked him, "Get out! There are so many reasons, just say that you want to play outside, don't say that the country has delayed you.

But you have to bring your family members here no matter what."

"I really can't do this! And my father has many, many books.

He definitely won't leave," Qian Youcai said annoyedly.

Lin Fan asked carefully, "Will your father be a traitor?"

"Who are you calling a traitor?" Qian Youcai jumped up all of a sudden.

"Then it's over, as long as he's unwilling to be a traitor. Then will you be a traitor? It has to be the kind of big traitor who can protect your father," Lin Fan continued.

"Get out! If you say that again, we won't be friends anymore," Qian Youcai was really angry.

Lin Fan said, "Since that's the case, are you willing to watch your father die, or your whole family die?"

Qian Youcai became serious this time, "Are you saying that the Japanese will massacre the city?"

Lin Fan also said seriously, "Definitely!"

"Why? Although I know that the Japanese have massacred villages in the suburbs and killed many people.

But this is Nanjing! There are so many foreigners here.

Didn't they treat the prisoners they saw kindly a few days ago?

Aren't they saying that they're civilized?"

Lin Fan sneered, "Since the start of the war, has the enthusiasm for the national resistance increased or decreased?"

Qian Youcai immediately said, "The enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War is increasing day by day. The government has now publicly proposed a national resistance.

They're promoting it every day, it's impossible for this enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War to not be high!"

"Think about it, the Japanese are fighting a war with us. Although they occupy the land and win battles.

Before they occupied the land, only the big cities supported the resistance, but now the whole country supports it.

They won militarily in this battle, but they lost politically.

So they think this is because of their civilization.

They want to try barbarism in Nanjing, using a massacre to scare the enthusiasm for resistance in the country."

Qian Youcai listened in stunned silence.

He quickly got up, "I'm going home!

No! Come to my house, you're my friend, and tell the old man what you just said.

I'm afraid of him!"
