Zhao Zilong saw Zhang Long and the few national soldiers staring into the distance with their heads held high, scolding something, while constantly twisting their hands and struggling.

Zhao Zilong immediately turned the telescope in the direction that Zhang Long was looking at, and saw a short and fat devil standing there. Well? When Zhao Zilong saw the appearance of the devil officer, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, feeling as if he had seen this person.

-

On a small plateau in Straw Shoe Gorge.

With gauze on his left arm, Taro Okamoto looked at the crowd in the distance with an indifferent expression, walking back and forth a little irritably.

Three days ago, at the end of the siege of the hotel, Wen Bin detonated a bomb and blew up the kitchen, causing the dilapidated hotel to collapse after multiple rounds of artillery bombardment, burying all the devils of a squadron that entered.

Taro Okamoto, who was nearby, was affected and broke his arm when he fled, much to his chagrin and anger.

He was furious that the incident had cost his temporarily integrated wing two squadrons of soldiers, including a group leader, two squadron leaders, and several squad leaders.

Therefore, he vented his anger on those ordinary people, not only conniving at the soldiers to burn and loot in the city of Nanjing, but he also participated in it many times.

Tonight, he will take the national soldiers he has captured during this time, those who are suspected of turning into ordinary people, and some ordinary people to the river for execution.

"Nakasa Suzuki! You go and drive those people to the concentration point. ”

Seeing that the crowd was extremely slow, Taro Okamoto waved his arm a little impatiently and gave an order to the second captain beside him.

Not long after the other party walked down, those devil soldiers immediately raised their bayonets, fiercely drove away the crowd with their hands tied, and drove them all to the middle of the gorge to concentrate.

Immediately, the crowd of black pressure became denser and denser, and at a glance, it was all heads.

"Osa Okamoto! When does it start? The second captain ran back and asked.

Taro Okamoto, who had a calm face, looked at the angry Shina soldiers and the ordinary people who were full of fear and fear, and his face couldn't help but become hideous.

He drew his sword in his right hand and slowly raised it high.

When they saw him do this, those devil soldiers suddenly raised their light and heavy machine guns and put their hands on the sakaji.

Some of the national soldiers and the crowd of ordinary people sensed something and couldn't help but scream, and suddenly, the flow of people was in a commotion, and bursts of shouts were made.

-

On the top of a hill.

When Zhao Zilong saw Taro Okamoto holding his sword high, he suddenly felt something, and his pupils shrank, and his heart tightened.

"Show me." Zhao Zilong's face changed, and Zhang Hu saw it, and he immediately grabbed the binoculars.

"Big brother! Big brother is ...... inside."

When Zhang Hu saw Zhang Long, he couldn't help but scream. Chen Jun, who was beside him, changed his face and quickly covered the other party's mouth.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Hu was a little annoyed, and pushed Chen Jun away at once, and the other party almost rolled down the mountain.

"Little Tiger! You're going to kill everybody if you call it that. When Wang Zhong saw it, he immediately let out a low shout, and then snatched the telescope in the other party's hand to look.

"Show me, show me ......" Zhang Hu was in a hurry and was about to snatch it back.

"Don't rob, don't rob. ......" Wang Zhong pushed away the other party with his left hand and picked up the telescope with his right hand.

When he saw the crowd below, his face also changed greatly, and then he gritted his teeth and scolded: "him little devil......"

"What's the little devil doing?" Lang Tie asked.

"Don't make a sound, everybody." Seeing them like this, Zhao Zilong's brows furrowed, he was a little worried, and immediately took back the telescope. He didn't want them to see Zhang Long and the others, especially Zhang Hu.

Dadada......"

Suddenly, the sound of light and heavy machine guns sounded in the gorge.

Everyone's faces changed again, and they all turned their heads to look.

I saw dozens of machine guns constantly spitting out tongues of fire, sweeping down the dense crowd piece by piece.

The men were tightly tied together, unable to struggle, and could only twist their bodies in vain, constantly making a terrible cry into the night sky.

Machine gun bullets were fired at a rate of five or six hundred rounds per minute, and they were fired at the crowd that had no resistance and could not dodge at all.

In just a few breaths, one or two thousand people had fallen, and the outermost crowd was suddenly emptied of a large area.

Everyone was stunned by the tragic scene in front of them, and they didn't even know what to do.

"Big brother...... Zhang Hu finally couldn't help it, he shouted, his facial muscles twitching violently.

He was full of anger and strength, and immediately pushed away Chen Jun, picked up the 38 big cover, pushed a bullet in an instant, stood up, and faced Taro Okamoto, who had just swung his sword in the distance, regardless of his poor marksmanship, it was a shot by feeling.

Bang!

The angry bullet hit the opponent's thigh at once.

"Yaga! There are a branch of soldiers. ”

Taro Okamoto was shot in the left foot and fell to the small plateau in one fell swoop. As soon as the second captain beside him saw the movement on the side of the hill, he immediately shouted.

A few crooked machine guns in the vicinity immediately turned their muzzles and fired at the side of the hill where Zhao Zilong and the others were.

"Let's go!" Zhao Zilong wanted to shoot Taro Okamoto, but when he saw that the other party was nowhere to be seen after rolling down the hill, he had to immediately pull Zhang Hu down.

Da Da Da ......

They lay down and a barrage of bullets rained down over their heads.

"Over there." As soon as Lang Tie saw a team of devils besieging him, he immediately pointed to a path at the foot of the mountain and shouted.

This time, it was Lang Tie and Chen Jun who set up Zhang Hu to run, and Zhao Zilong, Wang Zhong and Chen Weiguo covered behind.

As soon as they descended the mountain, they saw that the devils had rushed up the hill - the place where they had just laid down to observe.

Seeing that there were also devils on the riverside, Lang Tie had to take everyone in the direction of the city.

It's just that they only ran a few dozen meters before they saw that there was also a devil squad in front of them.

This time, everyone had to shoot.

I didn't shoot when I ran away just now, because I didn't want the devil to know how many of them were, but now the gunfire suddenly exposed the firepower.

The devils knew that they had six guns, and immediately surrounded them on all sides.

Everyone was short of ammunition, and Zhang Hu was injured and couldn't run fast, so after a few rounds of shooting, they were forced to move to a small mountain pass.

"Drop me down, you run." At this time, Zhang Hu shouted urgently. His two hands were held by Lang Tie and Chen Jun, and he couldn't move, so he had to plead.

"If it's a brother, don't talk." Wang Zhong said angrily.

"I hurt you brothers." Zhang Hu suddenly wet his tears, and whimpered: "It's still too late for you to run now, and if you take me again, everyone won't be able to run." ”

"Let's go that way and run over there." After Zhao Zilong, who was in front, shot down the three devils who were chasing, he sensed that the devils on the right side of the path were not surrounded, and immediately shouted at Wang Zhong and the others.

"Let's go." Wang Zhong pushed Zhang Hu, and Lang Tie and Chen Jun immediately set up each other.

PS: The Straw Shoe Gorge Massacre was the largest and largest massacre carried out by the Japanese invading army in Nanjing.

According to the Republic of China government archives now stored in the Second Historical Archives of China, "Lu Su's Epilogue on the Collective Massacre of the Japanese Army in the Straw Shoe Gorge": "After the Japanese invaded the city, they confined 57,480 retreating national troops and refugees, men, women, and children, to the four or five villages at the foot of the shogunate mountain, deprived of food, and many died of freezing and starvation.

On the night of the 16th day of the lunar calendar (i.e., December 18, 1937 in the Gregorian calendar), two people tied with lead wire, lined up in four ways and drove to the Xiaguan Straw Shoes Gorge, where they strafed with machine guns, poked with bayonets, and finally poured kerosene on fire, and threw the remains into the river......
