Chapter 82: Street Fighting (5)
Deadly projectiles continued to fire from rooftops 200 meters away, causing panic among the Japanese soldiers who were subjected to continuous crossfire and grenade attacks on the streets. The Japanese soldiers who were still alive lay down on the spot according to the requirements of the infantry drill code, but after losing the cover of machine gun fire and grenadiers, they could protect themselves from bullets fired from distant rooftops, but they could not protect themselves from deadly projectiles overhead.
The routed soldiers scattered on the rooftops on both sides of the street fought more and more easily, and although they paid some casualties, on the whole, the number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded far exceeded their own casualties. The battle situation showed a one-sided situation, and the national army, which was not superior in numbers, actually had the upper hand strangely, such a strange battle situation made the man surnamed Niu next to Zhuo Fei and Gao Chunbao, who had just been rescued, grinning haha.
"Stop chasing, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and only take weapons and ammunition." Seeing that the Japanese army was defeated, they immediately retreated, and more than a dozen national soldiers under Gao Chunbao chased after the street with rifles, but were stopped by Gao Chunbao who came down from the roof. The crowd that jumped off the roof was obviously divided into two waves, Gao Chunbao and his national army soldiers, and the man surnamed Niu and those defeated soldiers stood behind Zhuo Fei.
"Company Commander Gao, I estimate that the Japanese army will come over in a while, and we will beat them hard here, the Japanese army will not be able to swallow this breath, Company Commander Gao, are you interested in continuing to ambush them here with us?" Hearing Zhuo Yan's shout, Zhuo Fei turned his head and glanced at the bag of flour that Zhuo Yan had brought out of the grain store on the street, and then smiled and invited Gao Chunbao to continue ambushing the Japanese army.
"Brother, let's not make such jokes, although I don't know what the little devil thinks, but I know that you must not ambush twice in the same place in a row. The little devil is not stupid or stupid, what we can think of, others can think of. Gao Chunbao didn't directly say that Zhuo Fei was arrogant, but turned around and persuaded Zhuo Fei to dispel this idea. What you just said is right, the little devil will definitely make a comeback, but let's just have such a few people, if the little devil comes with more people, we can only suffer. ”
"I'm afraid there are too few of them, what about you?" Zhuo Fei didn't get angry because of Gao Chunbao's other refusal, he just turned around and looked at the man surnamed Niu and the defeated soldiers. "There are too many civilians in the city, even if the security zone is open, I'm afraid time is also a problem, now that the Japanese army has entered the city, there are wars everywhere in the city, and those of us who can fight must do something for the people in the city."
didn't think to ask for the opinions of those defeated soldiers at all, the man surnamed Niu stretched out his hand and patted his chest, and shouted, "Boss, do what you say, if we only talk about guns, we are not born and raised by our parents." Don't worry, these boys listen to me, if any of them dare to escape, my old bull bolt will kill his dog. Niu Laoshuan's words made those routs shout in unison, saying that following Zhuo Fei to kill devils was the happiest thing in their lives.
"Company Commander Gao, I won't force this to stay, if you want to leave, it's best to go to Rujiangmen now, you can cross the river before the Japanese army blockades the Xiaguan wharf, you may still have a way to live." Knowing the decision of Niu Laozhuan and his gang, Zhuo Fei no longer entangled with the wavering Gao Chunbao, but just said a word to Gao Chunbao lightly, and commanded half of the rout soldiers to dig a pit on the side of the street, and the other half of the rout soldiers rushed to the grain store to carry flour out.
"Brother, why do we bury all this ocean surface in the pit? Are you afraid that the little devil will snatch it away? Zhuo Yan was not the only one who was confused about Zhuo Fei's order, in fact, except for Zhuo Fei himself, none of the routs who were busy on the street knew why Zhuo Fei did this. Gao Chunbao, who had not left after hesitation, was also very puzzled, he didn't know why Zhuo Fei ordered to dig a pit on the side of the street, and then put a good foreign surface into the pit, Zhuo Fei didn't explain, just urged the routs to speed up.
"Here, the little devil is here, there are at least more than 200 people coming this time, almost the strength of a squadron." The soldiers who were strictly ordered to stand guard on the roof shouted loudly, Gao Chunbao's heart was shocked, those Japanese soldiers just now were less than a squad of troops, and they were already tired of coping, if this would be a Japanese squadron, then they would all die here, and they would not be able to stop the Japanese attack.
"You guys withdraw first, and I'll be fine right away." Knowing that the Japanese army was coming, Zhuo Fei, who was busy connecting the telephone lines, urged Niu Lao to evacuate with the people back. "Quick, speed up, watch your step, don't break the phone line for me." Zhuo Fei quickly kicked on the ground, used floating soil to cover the telephone line exposed on the surface, looked around, and found no omissions, Zhuo Fei grabbed the wire and rolled the cat's waist and retreated.
Niu Laozhuan and Gao Chunbao retreated to the corner of the street early with their respective men, and the telephone line in Zhuo Fei's hand was not long enough, so he could only temporarily hide in a shop not far from the corner. "Don't you want to know what I was doing? Don't worry, you'll see the answer in a moment. But I want to warn you first, hold your chin in your hand for a while, and when you see the answer, don't let your chin fall to the ground. ”
Gao Chunbao, who came into the store with Niu Laozhuan, didn't care very much, although he didn't know why Zhuo Fei did that just now, but Gao Chunbao didn't really mean what Zhuo Fei said. When the Japanese army's khaki military uniform appeared at the end of the street, Zhuo Fei in the store was taking out a homemade detonator from Zhuo Yan's backpack, biting the rubber of the telephone wire to expose the copper core, and Zhuo Fei connected the wires of the two telephone wires to the wire pile of the detonator on the left and right.
As if experiencing a nightmare, Noda Ichiro fled from this dead street in a panic with his companions, and more than a dozen of them panicked and disrupted the formation of Haneda's squadron, and then was grabbed by the collar by the squadron leader Haneda Koji and slapped him fiercely. Noda Ichiro, who was beaten to the point of bloody nose and mouth and gold stars in his eyes, suddenly came to his senses, looked at his companions who were wailing beside him, Noda Ichiro was ashamed and then lowered his head and snapped.
After counting the casualties, Haneda Ichiro's eyes turned black for a while, and he almost fell to the ground with his hand on the trunk of a tree beside him. In the short five minutes between the launch of the pursuit and the defeat and retreat, at least dozens of Imperial soldiers were lying on the street just now. There are still 12 people left in the entire team, and his own captain has now become the highest-ranking person in the team, and even the team leader is broken.
The Yamado squad suffered heavy casualties, which made Haneda Koji very bored, relying on his uncle's power, Haneda Hiroji got two light armored vehicles from the division's armored wing after breaking through the Guanghua Gate, originally thought that his squadron could be invincible in Nanjing City and made great contributions, but he didn't expect that not long after entering the city, his squadron's Yamado squad had been disabled by the stragglers of the Zhina. Haneda's squadron has been successfully reduced to almost a small team, which Haneda Hiroji absolutely cannot accept, from the Wu Chang Noda Ichiro learned the truth, Haneda Hiroji ordered the squadron to rush to the block where the Yamada squad was ambushed, he wanted to take revenge on those Shina stragglers.
Rounding the corner, Koji Haneda, standing in an armored car, observed the street ahead. The long street is lined with rubble on both sides, except for a few bunkers piled up with sandbags on the corner hundreds of meters away, and a few Chinese soldiers are faintly visible. Rumble! Rumble! Haneda's squadron's tentative artillery bombarded the bunker, and the group of Chinese soldiers in Haneda's sight evacuated in a panic. Haneda Hiroji looked at this scene with a telescope with disdain, and then waved his hand and said, "Report to the Wing Commander, the leading squadron has defeated the forward Shina soldiers, and the Haneda squadron is pursuing the remnants of the Shina people." ”。
The top soldiers of Haneda's squadron first went up to the rooftops on both sides of the street, and after confirming that there were no ambushes on the rooftops on both sides of the street, Haneda Hiroji ordered the squadron to enter the street. The Japanese infantry squadron had more than 200 men and three infantry squadrons ranging in strength from 194 to 250 men. Although the Yamada squad was completely lost, Haneda Hiroji also got two armored vehicles from the armored wing, and the strength was two more squads than other infantry squadrons, so the strength of Haneda's squadron at this time still exceeded 200 people.
After being confirmed by the sharp soldiers on the rooftops on both sides of the street, the forward team of Haneda's squadron entered the street first, because there were two armored vehicles in hand, Haneda Hiroji did not show too much caution. After a tentative shelling with mortars, more than 200 soldiers of Haneda's squadron finally poured into the streets, and the Japanese soldiers searched the houses on both sides of the street while guarding the street entrance on the other side.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were getting closer and closer, Gao Chunbao, who pretended to flee from the rout, and his soldiers were ready to shoot at any time, but they didn't see the signal from Zhuo Fei for a long time. Through the crack in the door of the store, Zhuo Fei, who watched the Japanese army's every move, did not move at all, the detonator was next to Zhuo Fei, as long as he pressed the handle of the detonator, everything arranged by Zhuo Fei would immediately see the effect.
Success or failure is only a thin line, but Zhuo Fei is a little afraid to explode, the dust explosion is like a fantasy for people in this era. But for Zhuo Fei from later generations, it is not a mysterious matter. Solid matter that is broken into fine particles is called dust, and when the solid matter is crushed into dust, its combustion characteristics change greatly. What turned out to be a non-combustible substance may become a combustible substance, and a non-combustible substance may become a flammable substance, and an explosion may occur under certain conditions.
