Chapter 167: It's Our Turn!

With the withdrawal of all the defending troops, the city of Jinling was almost undefended in the eyes of the Japanese army. Many people who failed to flee in time could only watch with apprehension as the Japanese army strode into Jinling and became a member of the Japanese army.

If the people were still skeptical about whether the Japanese army slaughtered the city before, then what the Japanese army did after entering the city undoubtedly made the people who had a sense of luck completely fall to the bottom. In the face of the little devils who broke into the door, they didn't resist at all.

In those places where people still live, there are not the crisp sound of gunfire, but also the cries and cries of the people. But more than that, it was the arrogant laughter of the Japanese soldiers, which made the people who could not evacuate like falling into ice caves.

Listening to the sound of shelling coming from the presidential palace again, many little devils who entered the city felt very uncomfortable. But for many people, it suddenly felt that they would rather listen to the sound of guns than to hear crying and laughter.

After finally realizing that the nightmare had really come, and seeing the gradually darkening sky, these people finally left ruthlessly. In their opinion, the true face of the Japanese army has been seen clearly, and if they don't leave, they may become like everyone else.

Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, the bestiality of the Japanese troops entering the city was staged everywhere in this almost undefended city. The only thing to be thankful for is that those people who have taken refuge in the international security zone have not been harassed by the Japanese army for the time being.

Received a telegram from his intelligence officer again, even though he had heard such bad news many times before, Chen Gongshu still couldn't help gritting his teeth and scolding: "Little devil, I'm cao your grandmother is old!" ”

After scolding, Chen Gongshu no longer hesitated as before, and said directly: "In the name of the Dead Soldiers' Battalion, continue to send clear code and electricity, so that people in the whole country and even the world know about the crimes committed by the little devil against the people of Jinling after entering the city!" ”

Compared with the people on the side of the presidential palace, they have long been expelled by Hu Biao. More gunfire came from places where the Japanese were blocked. On the other hand, in other places in Jinling City at this moment, once the gun is fired, someone will inevitably die.

Those who fell at gunpoint were often innocent civilians who failed to evacuate the city in time, or who did not believe that the Japanese army would massacre ordinary people. This telegram, which was distributed in the evening, once again aroused great indignation among the major newspapers across the country.

Even Lao Jiang, who was far away in the camp in Wuhan, couldn't help but scold when he saw the clear code of the dead soldiers' camp again: "Niang Xipi! ”

Knowing that Lao Jiang was not scolding the dead soldiers' battalion, but the Japanese soldiers who caused the killing in Jinling, Dai Li, who personally sent the telegram, could only persuade: "Commission, it seems that the information provided by that kid earlier is credible, the little devil really dares to do such a heinous evil thing!" ”

"Do they do less of this kind of thing? Send a telegram to the Shanghai Liaison Office, asking them to organize a group of people to continue the protest march in the concession. Then find those consuls stationed in Shanghai and ask them to put pressure on the Japanese army. Little devils, a bunch of beasts! ”

"Yes, take a seat!"

"There's one more thing, you can do it for me personally. Earlier, the generals who left their troops and fled alone, many of them were captured by me. I want to ask them if they will blush when they see these telegrams and the dead people! ”

"Yes!"

Originally, Lao Jiang still wanted to protect some generals, but with the clear code telegrams sent by the dead soldiers' battalion one after another, Lao Jiang knew very well that he would not be ruthless, but he was afraid that the prestige of the Nationalist Government would be severely defeated. Earlier, it was said that Hu Biao was fooling around, precisely because he was thinking about disappointing the people.

But at present, Hu Biao did not listen to persuasion at all, and in addition, so many cases of Japanese troops massacring civilians and prisoners of war were continuously issued, in order to win the hearts of the people and continue to prepare for war, Lao Jiang was afraid that he would also have the courage to 'tear and cut off horses' to reverse the image of the national army.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Lao Jiang also really realized that he had to govern the army with an iron fist through this incident. No matter how well you manage those generals in the army, I am afraid that such an escape incident may happen in the future.

From the perspective of strictly administering the army, Lao Jiang felt that this matter would be beneficial to the troops in the long run. Moreover, the tens of thousands of troops brought out by Gui Shuzhen at the moment, when they heard the news, they would also feel that his 'commission' was worthy of allegiance.

If Hu Biao hadn't warned in advance, plus led a raid on the Japanese army, tore a hole for the troops defending the city, and really buried these tens of thousands of troops in Jinling, I am afraid that Lao Jiang would feel even more distressed. These troops are all veterans who have been on the battlefield!

As long as such a unit is brought back to the rear safely and some excellent generals are re-selected, it is believed that it will become an elite force again. Most importantly, through this incident, Lao Chiang felt that the international community hated the image of Fusang (for harmony) even more.

Regarding what happened outside Jinling City, Hu Biao had no time to take care of it. Seeing that the houses were in ruins, and even ignited by the shelling to form a fire, Hu Biao, who stayed in the anti-artillery fortifications, still looked very calm.

With the light of the fire formed by the shelling, Hu Biao also kept an eye on the Japanese army's every move. Seeing the Japanese attacking troops that were beginning to assemble five hundred meters away, Hu Biao called Huang Erzhuan and whispered an explanation.

"Be careful!"

"Yes!"

Huang Erzhuo, who broke out of the anti-artillery fortifications, wandered through the alleys that could be shelled at any time, avoided the crumbling houses, and finally arrived at the location of the mortar platoon. Seeing those artillerymen, Huang Erzhuan once again conveyed the instructions for shelling.

The commander of the artillery platoon, who heard the order, said with a little hesitation: "Is it shelling at this time?" ”

"That's right! While the little devils are shelling, you will give the little devils a hard time. Even if the little devil gets the news to readjust the artillery, there will be enough time for you to withdraw. This shop is very strong, and the mountain cannon of the little devil can't collapse! ”

"Good! I give the order at once! Brothers, get ready to set up your cannons! ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

In the face of Huang Erzhuan braving artillery fire to convey Hu Biao's combat orders, these artillerymen also knew that it was not risky to fire three shells. Moreover, the place where the Japanese shelled at this moment was also a few hundred meters away from their hiding place.

Even if the Japanese quickly adjusted the angle of the shelling, it would be enough for them to move the mortars back to the shops. At a distance of less than a hundred meters, it is believed that it will not take much time to raise the mortar and return.

As long as you hide back in the shop, there is Hu Biao and a company of guards in front of you to block the attack, even if the little devil launches a counterattack, it will not be able to blow up the store where he is hiding. Although it was a bit risky, the artillerymen still felt that it was worth the fight.

"Quick! Quickly set up the artillery and adjust the angle of the artillery immediately! The old rule, three rapid fires, withdraw after the fight! ”

"Yes, platoon commander!"

The Japanese troops, who were already at the front of the position, ready to wait for the artillery fire to extend, had no idea that Hu Biao dared to use the mortar platoon to launch a counter-artillery attack at this time. Even many Japanese infantry felt that the artillery platoon of the defenders had been destroyed.

When the artillery platoon quickly set up the artillery and adjusted the corresponding angle and orientation, the platoon commander of the artillery platoon shouted again: "Release!" ”

As more than a dozen shells rose into the air, they met the Japanese shells in the air, and then went their separate ways. The Japanese troops, who were arranging the offensive sequence in their positions, were once again dumbfounded when they saw the flying shells.

Compared to before, they could finally see the flying figures of the cannonballs, and reacted in advance. At this moment, the Japanese army paid more attention to the shells fired by their own side, but they did not expect another round of meteors to fall from the sky.

When the first shell fell into the ranks of the Japanese troops waiting for the attack, the little devil who was waiting for the order to attack was instantly blown up. The first reaction of countless Japanese soldiers was to quickly lie down and look for the nearest shelter.

"Yaga! It's the shelling of the Chinese army! Quick, immediately notify the mountain artillery brigade and let them immediately destroy the artillery of the Chinese army! ”

But for the Japanese troops who were shelling hard at the moment, these artillerymen knew that there was not much time left for the artillery fire to extend. When they heard the explosion in front of them, they thought it was caused by their own shells.

Until the attacking force sent someone to inform him, the captain of the mountain artillery brigade in charge of the command was also surprised: "What about it? The artillery of the Chinese army just opened fire? Our artillery should have destroyed them before! ”

"Your Excellency, Captain! I vouch for my life that the artillery that shelled our China earlier was exactly the same as the earlier shelling, all mortars, and then the caliber was not uniform. Because they were not prepared, the attacking troops suffered heavy losses! ”

"Eight Gyalu! Adjust the direction of the shelling and blow up all the areas within 500 meters of the area where the artillery is located! ”

The captain of the artillery brigade, who felt that he had been tricked, naturally felt very angry. The mountain artillery brigade under his command was ordered to readjust the angle of the artillery attack, and launched another fierce artillery attack towards the area where the mortar position was located.

Seeing this scene, Hu Biao called a humanist again: "Run back to the mountain artillery company as fast as possible, and tell the company commander of the mountain artillery company that if you calculate the mountain artillery position of the little devil, then start to carry out an artillery counterattack." Five rapid shots, change positions after the fight! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Judging from the trajectory of the Japanese artillery shells, Hu Biao felt that the mountain artillery he was equipped with should be able to do so. Although Hu Biao is not very clear about the detailed parameters of the artillery of the national army during the Republic of China, some people know the range parameters of those artillery.

This Shanghai-made Krupp 75-millimeter caliber mountain gun has a maximum firing range of nearly 10 kilometers. In terms of performance, it is similar to the mountain artillery equipped by the Japanese army. Aside from being a little bulky, the power is pretty good.

These mountain artillery, which was successively brought from all over the city, were all equipped with artillery for the artillery regiment defending the city earlier. But many mountain cannons were abandoned in the city before they could be used. As for the rest of the artillery, it was also destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery.

At present, a total of eleven such artillery pieces have been brought in by the presidential palace, and Hu Biao has used this to form a mountain artillery company. The company commander of the mountain artillery company was also an artillery staff officer borrowed from the Fifth Regiment, and he was proficient in operating this kind of artillery.

Seeing the blocking position that had been subjected to the shelling of the Japanese mountain artillery, the officers and men of the mountain artillery company who were on standby were also very anxious. If it weren't for Hu Biao's strict order before, there was no order not to open artillery, but I was afraid that the commander of the mountain artillery company would have started to counterattack earlier.

Now that he finally waited for the herald sent by Hu Biao, the commander of the mountain artillery company immediately shouted: "Brothers, it's our turn!" Five rapid fires, and immediately retreat after the fight. If anyone dares to drop the chain and drag his feet, don't blame Lao Tzu for pumping people with a belt! ”

"Yes, company commander!"

As an artillery member of the national army, many people feel that they are very cowardly. Every time the front-line troops needed artillery support, they were often unable to do so. Even if there is an opportunity to support, it will not be for long.

Many times, before they could shift their positions, the artillery counterattack of the little devils had already arrived. As a result, many artillerymen feel that they are really fighting and aggrieved without the air force and heavy artillery to fight!
