Chapter 276: Why Did a Cannonball Fall Among Our Warriors?
After Lang Tie heard about this plan, he didn't ask much, and immediately went to ask Wen Bin and a few other national soldiers to help.
Just as they brought the dozen explosives bags and were about to run outside the grove, Zhao Zilong stopped them.
"Brother Lang! You break up the explosives pack, don't bury it too far, within a hundred meters of the perimeter, make a sign, and I'll shoot. ”
"A hundred meters?" Lang Tie was stunned.
"Yes." Zhao Zilong nodded and explained: "If it is beyond this range, the devils will not charge, and the personnel are also scattered, and the lethality of the explosion is not strong." ”
Lang Tie listened, nodded and left with Wen Bin and the others.
Chen Jiangang instructed two national soldiers who reacted quickly and skillfully to wade through the weeds and reeds on the bank of the river and swim to the side of the river. If you pass from here, you can bypass the devils in front of you, and as long as you lurk carefully, you will basically not be detected.
Wang Zhong arranged for other national troops to dig fortified bunkers in the grove and arranged for more than a dozen machine gunners to act as a backup so that they could respond.
Now there are more than a dozen crooked machine guns in the team, which everyone got from killing devils all the way from the city.
After Zhao Zilong explained to Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, who were adjusting the position of the infantry artillery, he chose the tallest tree nearby and climbed it. Here, he keeps an eye on his surroundings so he can react.
He stood on the canopy of the tree, glanced at the fierce battle in the distance, and asked downward, "Brother Zhang!" Little Tiger! Are you ready? ”
Zhang Long immediately raised his head and responded: "No problem." ”
Zhang Hu, who was on the other side, raised his right hand, pinched and bent his thumb and forefinger, and said, "OK!"
When Zhao Zilong saw the other party's gesture, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull and smile. This is what he taught Zhang Hu and Wen Bin when he got along with them on weekdays.
"Northeast direction, distance 1,200 meters, azimuth XXX." Retracting his smile, Zhao Zilong immediately said the location of a group of devils in the distance.
-
Rujiang Gate.
Xiao Yushan is commanding the military police to fight.
In order to cover the troops of the national army preparing to cross the river at the Xiaguan wharf, Xiao Yushan has led the gendarmes to hold the Rujiang Gate for three or four hours.
Now the three openings of the Rujiang Gate are blocked, and the gendarmes are guarding the city wall and the houses on both sides to block the attack of the devils.
Because the devils had grenadiers and infantry artillery, those gendarmes suffered heavy losses.
Seeing that they couldn't hold it anymore, the guards persuaded Xiao Yushan to cross the river, and pushed him to the raft by the river several times, but the other party jumped up.
Therefore, under his leadership, everyone held their ground and did not take a step back.
At this time, Deng Chao hid in a sandbag bunker by the river, and also shot the devil with everyone, while Wu Xin, who was nearby, also participated in the battle.
"Deng Chao! Hurry up and take Dean Wu across the river. At this time, Xiao Yushan ran over and shouted loudly. He had called the herald a few times before, but the other party was still here, so this time he came in person.
Deng Chao's body stiffened, looking at Xiao Yushan with an angry face, he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to look at Wu Xin helplessly.
"Commander Xiao! If you want to withdraw, withdraw together. Wu Xin shook his head.
"Dean Wu! I am the commander-in-chief of the river crossing, and I have to cover for everyone, and I can't run. Xiao Yushan was a little anxious.
"Tang Zhixin, they all ran away, you can run too." Wu Xin stared at each other.
"Nope! He is him, and I am me. Xiao Yushan's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "It is the duty of a soldier to defend the land and serve the country, I should serve the country loyally, lie on the battlefield with a smile, and defend Nanjing, I will make an early decision!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Kill it!"
"Hooray!"
……
At this time, the shouts of the devils came from outside the city gates.
Everyone's faces changed, and when they turned their heads, they saw that a big gap had appeared in the door wall after the explosion, and the devil was charging there.
At this time, the devil's cannon also stopped.
"Everybody follow me."
Xiao Yushan immediately ordered the gendarmes to plug the gap.
Deng Chao also wanted to rush there, but was stopped by Xiao Yushan and asked him to protect Wu Xin.
Although the gendarmes fought bravely to kill the enemy, they had no choice but to hold out here for a long time, their physical strength was very exertional, and the devils attacked too fiercely.
"Hold on! Resist! Can't go back. Seeing that everyone was gradually defeated, Xiao Yushan was so anxious that he shouted loudly.
Rumble!
At the critical moment, a cannon shot was heard in the distant woods.
Everyone's faces suddenly changed drastically.
With a bang, the cannonball fell and exploded in the middle of a group of devils who were preparing to charge outside the city gate, and instantly knocked down more than 30 devils.
Immediately after, there was another cannon shot, and a shell fell in the middle of another pile of devils and exploded.
The smoke cleared, and more than 30 corpses lay on the ground.
Those charging devils were startled by this sudden change, and they couldn't help but pause.
"Counter ......"
Although he didn't understand why these two shells hit the devils, Xiao Yushan quickly reacted and immediately commanded the gendarmes to take the opportunity to kill those devils who rushed into the gap.
-
The wasteland outside the Rujiang Gate, on a small plateau.
"Yaga!"
Taro Okamoto observed the battle situation in the distance through the binoculars, and when he saw that a cannonball had fallen among the soldiers, causing the charge to fail, he immediately turned to Takahashi Tamori beside him and scolded angrily: "Takahashi Nakasa! Can you explain why some cannonballs fell on our warriors? ”
"Me? ......" Takahashi Tamori's face changed, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Just now they saw that the artillery had stopped, and they thought that the artillerymen had stopped the bombing because they saw their comrades attacking the gap and were afraid of being injured by mistake. But who knew that when the artillery was fired now, it would actually hit the cannonballs among his own people, and he helped the Chinese army to break the siege.
"Is it that our artillery positions have been seized by the Chinese army?" Taro Okamoto saw that there was no movement in the grove a kilometer away, so he couldn't help but hesitate and asked again.
Takahashi Tamori immediately picked up the binoculars to observe, and after looking at it for a while, he shook his head and said, "Okamoto Daisa!" At this time, the soldiers of China were all at the Shimonoseki wharf, and no one would attack the artillery. I thought, maybe there was a problem with the artillery, so it blew up by mistake. ”
"Bombed by mistake?" Taro Okamoto raised his eyebrows.
"That's right." Takahashi Tiansen nodded and pointed into the distance: "Look, isn't there no cannon now?" The artillery is definitely in the trimming of the artillery. ”
Taro Okamoto looked at it, and sure enough, there was no cannon fire from the other side of the grove now.
"You send someone to check it out." After the little eyes rolled, Taro Okamoto ordered.
"Hay!" Takahashi Takamori immediately bowed his head and responded.
-
This side of the grove.
"There are more than a dozen devils coming."
As soon as Zhao Zilong, who was on the big tree, saw a devil squad running in the distance, he immediately shouted down.
"Everyone is ready to fight." Wang Zhong immediately shouted.
The various national troops took up their positions, hiding behind bunkers such as earthen pits or tree bodies, and raised their guns.
"Don't shoot yet." Zhao Zilong saw it, screamed, and immediately slid down from the tree.
