After she became the daughter of a vicious warlord, she cleaned herself up

Chapter 192 Heading to Jinling

Chen Xiangyun helped Jiang Shiyuan up, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoyuan, don't be like this, you still have Aunt Xiang..."

Jiang Shiyuan held Chen Xiangyun's hand tightly, "Aunt Xiang, don't worry, I'm fine, I will cheer up."

"I will inherit the will of my father and brother and continue the war of resistance!" Jiang Shiyuan said in a firm tone, as if carrying a tremendous amount of strength.

Chen Xiangyun looked at the determined girl in front of her and seemed to see the shadow of Jiang Zhengxiang. Besides feeling sad, she also felt a little relieved.

"Good boy, Aunt Xiang believes in you." Chen Xiangyun gently patted the back of Jiang Shiyuan's hand, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his sad emotions.

She knew now was not the time to be sad.

Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country. She must cheer up, avenge her father and brother, and do her part for this devastated country.

At this time, the smoke of the Battle of Shanghai had not yet dissipated, but the Japanese pirates' iron hooves had already stepped onto wider lands.

The news of the fall of Jiangyin Fortress came like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire China.

Jiangyin Fortress, known as the "Natural Moat of the Yangtze River", is the gateway to Nanjing. Now that it has been lost, Nanjing is in danger!

The Japanese pirates successively captured Huzhou, Yixing, Guangde and other places, and then went northward and approached Nanjing.

Jinling, the ancient capital of Six Dynasties, is now shrouded in a dark cloud.

In order to solve the defense problem of the capital Jinling, the president convened several senior staff meetings.

At the meeting, most generals believed that Nanjing was easy to attack but difficult to defend, and advocated abandoning Nanjing, preserving strength, and retreating to the southwest.

Only the training director Tang Shengzhi, against all odds, believed that Nanjing must be defended.

"Nanjing is the capital and the people's will. Once we give it up, the consequences will be disastrous!" Tang Shengzhi said in an impassioned and resounding voice.

"Principal, please give me the important task of defending Jinling. I, Tang, am willing to live and die with Jinling!"

After Tang Shengzhi finished speaking, he stood up and stood at attention, his tone firm and unquestionable.

The principal looked at the veteran in his fifties in front of him, feeling deeply moved.

"Okay! Just as General Tang said, the defense of Jinling will be left to you!" The principal finally made the decision.

Tang Shengzhi took the order and began to deploy the defense of Nanjing.

The Nanjing National Government also began to move to Yucheng, and the Military Commission moved to Wucheng.

For a time, the entire Jinling city was on the verge of collapse and the people were in panic.

"The fall of Jinling City is only a matter of time..."

Chen Xiangyun looked out the window and muttered to herself, her tone full of worry.

Jiang Shiyuan frowned, she knew very well what the fall of Jinling City meant.

"Aunt Xiang, I must go to Jinling!" Jiang Shiyuan said in a firm tone, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Going to Jinling? Are you crazy?"

"Now even the Jinling government has fled, and there are refugees everywhere. What can you, a girl, do if you go there?"

Chen Xiangyun grabbed Jiang Shiyuan, her face full of anxiety.

"Aunt Xiang, I can't just watch Jinling City fall into the hands of the enemy. I have to do my part, even if it's just a tiny bit!" Jiang Shiyuan broke free from Chen Xiangyun's hand, his tone firm.

"But..." Chen Xiangyun wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Jiang Shiyuan.

"Aunt Xiang, please stop trying to persuade me. I've already made up my mind!"

"Oh..." Chen Xiangyun sighed helplessly. She knew that no one could change Jiang Shiyuan's decision.

"Then how do you plan to go? All roads leading to Jinling are blocked now." Chen Xiangyun asked anxiously.

"I have my own way." Jiang Shiyuan smiled mysteriously, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Anyway, don't worry. I'll call you to let you know I'm safe once I arrive in Jinling safely!"

After Jiang Shiyuan finished speaking, he hugged Chen Xiangyun and Feng Ma tightly again, and drove back to Wanguo Apartment to pack his luggage.

Chen Xiangyun looked at Jiang Shiyuan's resolute back and felt mixed emotions.

She knew that Jiang Shiyuan might be in great danger if he went there, but she couldn't stop him.

"This child really looks like her father and brother..." Chen Xiangyun murmured to herself, her eyes moistened again.

After Jiang Shiyuan returned to the Wanguo Apartment, he expressed his concerns about the future of the people of Jinling to both the Military Control Commission and the party organization, and wanted to set off for Jinling immediately.

She had some feasible plans that should be able to reduce the slaughter of civilians by the brutal and cruel Japanese pirates after the fall of Nanjing.

After Stationmaster Wang and Gu Fangxun reported to their superiors respectively, they both received approval for the action.

They also said that the Military Control Station and underground party organizations stationed in Jinling would give her as much cooperation and assistance as possible.

Then Jiang Shiyuan went straight to the Du Mansion to find his adoptive father, Mr. Du.

She asked him to use his identity as the honorary Chinese inspector in the French Concession to help her get a Romantic Country reporter's pass and several large boxes of Romantic Country flags of various sizes.

Jiang Shiyuan even went to the Shanghai Daily to ask Wei Yuqing for advice on how to use a camera. When Wei Yuqing heard that she was going to Jinling, she insisted on following her.

Jiang Shiyuan agreed verbally, but in the end he couldn't bear to take her into danger.

Then he set off alone in a black Chevrolet draped with the flag of a romantic country at dawn in the east.

At the same time, in Jinling City, Tang Shengzhi, who had officially taken up the post of Jinling garrison commander, was convening an emergency military meeting.

"Everyone, Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties and a symbol of the Chinese nation. We must protect it no matter what!"

"The principal has given an order allowing me to mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized to support Nanjing!" Tang Shengzhi continued.

"Report!" A signalman hurried into the meeting room and saluted.

"Report to the commander, the remnants of the 67th Army have arrived outside the city and request to enter the city!"

"Good! Let them into the city quickly!" Tang Shengzhi was immediately cheered up when he heard the news.

Although only remnants of the 67th Army are left, their arrival undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the defenders of Jinling City.

"Tell Commander Huang and Commander Xie that I, Tang, am waiting to fight alongside them!" Tang Shengzhi said with great pride.

"Yes!" The signalman took the order and left.

However, Tang Shengzhi knew in his heart that it was a pipe dream to want to defend Nanjing with only these remnants of the defeated army.

"Principal, principal, you are going to put me, Tang, on the fire..." Tang Shengzhi looked out the window, his heart filled with bitterness.

Time passed quickly, and the situation in Jinling City became increasingly tense.

The Japanese pirates were approaching the outskirts of the city, and people were fleeing everywhere.

Jiang Shiyuan finally arrived outside the city of Jinling safely because he had the journalist pass from the Romantic Country as a cover.

Looking at the majestic ancient city in front of him, Jiang Shiyuan was filled with emotion.

"Jinling, I'm back..." Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and walked towards the city gate.

However, before she could get close to the city gate, she was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city with guns and live ammunition.
