Chapter 14: The Bloody Battle of Guanghuamen (1)
When Sun Yumin came back from the playground, the emotions in his heart had not calmed down.
When I returned to the camp headquarters, I saw that Chen Yun and all the female students had not rested, and the eyes that looked at him were not quite right.
A slender and petite girl stepped forward with a red face and asked, "Chief Sun, you must have gone to college, right?" ”
"That's right!" Sun Yumin replied without hesitation, but suddenly thought that he was going to a university decades later.
Sun Yumin in this world is just a grassroots officer who has only listened to a few classes in the martial arts hall.
Fortunately, no one asked him which university he attended.
He was suddenly very curious and asked the girl, "Why do you ask that?" ”
She turned around and ran behind Chen Yun and hid. A blushing face was transparent, and his mouth was still blaming another girl: "It's all you, don't ask." ”
Sun Yumin was puzzled, and his inquiring eyes turned to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun smiled slightly and said, "These naughty ghosts just ran to the playground, and they heard what you said." ”
She didn't tell Sun Yumin that she was also one of those naughty ghosts, and she also heard the speech that touched her.
Because she was already ready for war, Chen Yun also felt that her group of girls were not suitable to occupy other people's camps, so she told Sun Yumin that she would take them back to school.
How can this Sun Yumin rest assured and resolutely disagree.
Let Shi take a few henchmen and soldiers to take the luggage of Chen Yun and others, and follow him to the small courtyard where the shopkeeper of the iron shop is.
The yard is not small, more than enough for a dozen of them to live.
Sun Yumin and Shi Shi took the soldiers to help clean up, and the yard had not been inhabited for a few days, and there was already a lot of dust.
When they were settled, they let Stone and the warriors stay outside the courtyard to help them guard them.
After arranging all this, Sun Yumin planned to return to the camp headquarters. Just as he was turning around to leave, Chen Yun's slender jade hand grabbed him and said softly: "Don't leave at night, stay with me, okay?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.
The next day, Sun Yumin made an exception and did not wake up early.
In a daze, he suddenly heard the terrible sound of a loudspeaker, and Sun Yumin bounced up from the bed like an electric shock.
Chen Yun was also awakened by the sound of the horn, sat on the bed and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Air raid alert! The little devil plane is coming. Sun Yumin put on his clothes as he spoke, and the movements in his hands were fast.
He reached out and picked up all the clothes of Chen Yun that were thrown everywhere and put them on the bed. Urging her, "Hurry up and get dressed, I'll go outside first." ”
By the time the words fell, he had already run out of the door.
Sun Yumin arrived in the courtyard, and Shi Shi and seven or eight female students were looking up at the sky.
A roar came from the sky, and in the distance, a few small black shadows could be seen slowly moving through the sky.
It's really an airplane, in my memory, the Japanese planes only began to bomb Nanjing City on the 9th, and today it was only the 6th, how could it be advanced? Could it be that history is wrong?
Sun Yumin didn't have the heart to think about these questions, and shouted in his mouth: "Call everyone to come with me." ”
When the girls saw Sun Yumin and Shi Shi running towards the thatched house, they all stopped and looked at each other.
Deng Xiufen followed without hesitation, and saw that the stone grabbed the dung tank under the command of Sun Yumin.
When Sun Yumin came the last time, there was only half a tank of manure water in the dung tank, but after last night and one night, the dung tank was almost full. When the stone grabbed the dung tank, he grinned at the smell of smoke.
Seeing the tunnel under the dung tank, Deng Xiufen immediately understood, she had no intention of laughing at the stone's cowardice, and hurriedly beckoned the women: "Come over quickly." ”
At Sun Yumin's signal, the stones were in front and the women were behind, and then a few soldiers brought by the stones.
Sun Yumin did not go down to the tunnel.
He stayed in the yard all the time, not because he was not afraid of air raids, but because he found a very serious problem before he went down, the last person went down, how to put the dung tank back in place. Just now, it was difficult for the stone to stand on the ground and lift the manure tank, let alone stand on the ladder down the tunnel to hold the tank full of manure water.
As he pondered how to solve the problem, the sound of airplane engines in the sky was getting louder and louder, and he was pulled back to reality.
He looked up, and four planes in the sky were hovering at low altitude, divided into two directions, and circled around the city of Nanjing twice, as if drawing two great circles in the air. During the flight of the two large planes, a lot of colorful papers fell from under their bellies, and the sky over the entire city of Nanjing seemed to be raining colorful paper.
Sun Yumin recognized the models of the two planes: the small escort plane was the Type 96 Type 4 carrier-based fighter (A5M4), and the large bomber was the Mitsubishi Type 96 Land Attack Aircraft (G3M).
He knew that he was not here to bomb, but to drop out the leaflets, so he shouted a few times to the bottom of the tunnel: "Come on, it's okay!" ”
As soon as Chen Yun came up, he looked at Sun Yumin with questioning eyes.
But the stone was very happy, and exclaimed, "Camp, when did you dig here?" ”
Sun Yumin couldn't explain this matter, but said to Chen Yun: "I said that I only found out yesterday, do you believe it?" ”
Hearing Sun Yumin's answer, Chen Yun breathed a long sigh of relief. In the basement just now, when she saw the properly prepared materials and the neatly repaired tunnels, she thought that he had already prepared them for escape, and at that time she felt that she was going crazy.
She had a feeling of being deceived, and she wished she had been killed in the basement on the spot. A coward who is afraid of death and cowardice, and is also an officer of the national army, but he willingly gave his most precious thing. How stupid you have to be, how stupid you have to be.
Sun Yumin was afraid that Chen Yun would misunderstand him, so he didn't tell her about it all night. If it weren't for the air raid alert, he would have said it when he had the opportunity to do so in the next two days. He did this for two purposes: first, the load of this tunnel was too small for many people to know, otherwise the road of life would become a dead end. Second, if this matter gets out, what will the officers and soldiers of the second battalion think of him? Can this position still be defended?
When Sun Yumin risked the danger of the shopkeeper of the iron shop and rushed back to tell him that the authentic matter was told to the people in the courtyard, Chen Yun was completely relieved.
Shi Shi took over the topic and said, "Then what did you ask Huzi to go all over the city to find the shopkeeper of the iron shop yesterday?" ”
Sun Yumin said: "I just separated from the shopkeeper, and I heard you say that you can't leave at Guanghua Gate. And the shopkeeper of the iron shop also told me that Chief Tang had ordered the closure of the river, but he had a way to leave, and a foreigner took him away. ”
"It's his business that he can go, what does it have to do with you asking us to find him?" The stone is puzzled.
Deng Xiufen stood beside him, stretched out her hand and slapped him the back of the head, and scolded: "Of course I want him to take us away!" My mother-in-law, all of them are individuals, why are you the only one who is stupider than a pig. ”
The stone was slapped hard by Deng Xiufen, and she didn't dare to fight back, she didn't dare to fight back, she muttered twice, and her voice was smaller than that of a mosquito: "Am I stupid?" ”
All the girls laughed, and even Sun Yumin kept shaking his head.
Deng Xiufen said: "Alas, I will fight back." His hand quickly pinched the stone's ear, and he dragged his head into the house, and said, "Come in for the old lady." ”
Everyone laughed even more, and a few girls couldn't stand up straight with laughter.
The stone eyes begged Sun Yumin for help, looking at his ruthless demeanor, and shaking his head with a look of indifference, he couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment.
Chen Yun couldn't look at it, so she put down Deng Xiufen's hand that was pinching people's ears, and whispered to her: "In front of people, you must give enough face to men." They care about this, be careful that you scare him away. ”
Under Sun Yumin's repeated reminders and warnings, everyone said that they would never talk to anyone about this authentic matter. But he knew that it was already difficult not to leak secrets.
In the yard, on the rooftops, and on the streets, there were flyers floating down everywhere, and a few girls picked up a few to read.
Sun Yumin didn't look at it, he was thinking about how the last person would enter the tunnel and how to put the dung tank back in place.
Chen Yun asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Sun Yumin smiled bitterly, spread his hands, and said, "I didn't think about anything!" ”
"Why don't you read those flyers?"
Sun Yumin smiled: "I don't need to look at it to know what is written on it." ”
"Tell me about it." Chen Yun was interested.
"I think there are three meanings! The first point is to say that Nanjing City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, thousands of years of historical precipitation and development, not because of a war and all destroyed in the fire, that would be a pity. Sun Yumin asked the girls with flyers in their hands: "Is that right?" ”
A few girls nodded, and Chen Yun said again: "What about the second point?" ”
"It should be to order Chief Tang to open the city and surrender."
"It says that the Tang Governor is limited to open the city and surrender within twenty-four hours, otherwise the siege will begin, and the consequences arising from this will be borne by the Tang Chief." A girl interjected.
Chen Yun had a smile on her face and asked, "What about the third point?" ”
"What else could there be! It must be to advise the front-line soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender, and not to be cannon fodder for officials, who gave their lives in vain. ”
The girls opened their mouths wide in disbelief. Someone asked, "Sir Sun, have you seen the leaflet?" How can it be so clear. ”
"After a lot of experience, you will naturally know." Sun Yumin pretended to be 13. Of course, he wouldn't tell them that he knew that he knew that because he had studied this history.
Sun Yumin was not afraid that his troops would mutini when they saw the leaflets, but he was still worried that someone would desert because of this.
As a matter of fact, in the Battle of Nanjing, some units or positions fled or abandoned their positions because of this small leaflet.
Sun Yumin hurried back to the troops, leaving behind the stone and a few of his henchmen. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded him not to let these girls step out of the hospital.
Deputy Gao Tuan and Zhou Hainan have opinions about Sun Yumin in the past few days, afraid that he will ignore the second battalion because he is addicted to Chen Yun's gentle embrace. The two muttered in the camp headquarters for half the night, and they didn't discuss a result.
In the end, it was Zhou Hainan who made a heart, and Gao Dahai, the deputy of the second cargo group, patted his chest and said let him educate Sun Yumin well.
But when the two of them saw Sun Yumin, who was mingling with the soldiers and talking and laughing on the battlefield, the deputy of the Second Cargo Regiment immediately repented and refused to come forward to educate him.
When Sun Yumin inspected the bunkers, he found that some of the ash (cement) had not yet dried. So everyone lit a fire inside, Nanjing's winter itself is very cold, a little fire, not only to solve the problem of heating for the soldiers, but also to speed up its dryness.
The soldiers did not understand whether the ashes were dry or not, and the fortifications were not solid. All they knew was that in this cold winter day, their beloved camp was willing to let them make a fire in the fortifications to keep warm, and this alone made everyone feel very touched and warm.
The large blockhouses in the gates of the two great cities were made of the most ash and iron plates and bars, and dried the most slowly. Sun Yumin was very anxious, for fear that it would not be too late to come in handy. Ordered all the weapons, ammunition and other supplies to be brought out, and a large fire was built in the bunker. The small pillboxes made on the castle tower were piled with layers of sandbags, and light and heavy machine guns and four machine guns formed a cross-fire position on the outer city walls. The soldiers can't see the effect now, and when the real fight begins, they will know how surprising the heavy firepower deployed by Sun Yumin will be.
Sun Yumin's first command was directly set up on the city gate tower, and he was also afraid of death! It is very obscene to build a bunker in the middle of the city gate tower, which is round and bulging like a huge pumpkin, which looks incompatible with this antique city tower.
The pumpkin bunker was equipped with five firing holes, in which a machine gun and two light and heavy machine guns were arranged, and two telephone lines and two telephones connected the regimental headquarters with the pillboxes here and here with the pillboxes below. Stationed here is his trump card: a cannon platoon.
The mortars of the second battalion, under the guidance of the instructors of the artillery battalion of the corps, set up two positions. Outside the city gate, Sun Yumin has ordered all obstacles to be cleared, and this open space, which is hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long, has been marked as a grid impact point by the artillerymen.
The sandbags on the city wall were lined up all the way, forming a number of individual firing positions and light machine gun firing positions, although there were firing positions, but except for a soldier lying on his stomach every other distance, there was no one in other places, including some small pillboxes.
The officers and men of the 2nd Battalion did not stand on the city wall early like other troops, and most of them sat along the corners of the city wall and the stairs of the city wall, which was Sun Yumin's order.
A half-man-deep ditch was dug under several wall stairs and at the base of the wall, and many sandbags were piled up on the side of the ditch. During the training a few days ago, Sun Yumin carefully explained how to evade bombing and strafing by enemy planes. This ditch under the city wall is actually strictly unqualified, but due to the power of the Japanese artillery on the ground, Sun Yumin can only arrange it in this way.
Deputy Gao Tuan and Zhou Hainan didn't understand why Sun Yumin didn't let the soldiers go up to the city tower, they reminded him next to him, and the deputy of the Second Cargo Regiment said: "If the military police regiment supervising the war finds out, it will be in trouble, I'm afraid it will report us for abandoning our position and running away." ”
Sun Yumin's face became gloomy and said, "Who dares to say that the second battalion escaped? Aren't you, the regimental lieutenant, me, the battalion commander, and him, the battalion lieutenant, all at the forefront? Didn't the brothers of the second battalion wait under the city? ”
The deputy of the second cargo regiment stopped talking, and Sun Yumin said again: "I will not use the lives of the brothers of the second battalion to fill this bottomless pit, whoever wants to go up to the city tower, don't fight the idea of the second battalion." ”
While the three of them were talking, Liu Tou, the elder of the cooking squad, led the cooks to the position with the food.
He didn't say hello to the three and stood aside. While smoking a cigarette pouch, he looked at the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who were in a long line to eat. His dark, slender, thin face was covered with many wrinkles, and his gray, dull eyes showed a lot of worry.
