--- pay tribute to Zhang Chunru!

These brigades lined up to enter the city, gathered four tanks, and entered the city through the Zhonghua Gate. The reporters and photographers of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion also set up their cameras, first took pictures of the city gates and buildings of Nanjing, and then, a large army of tens of thousands of people lined up to enter Nanjing, the soldiers lined up neatly, rifles on their shoulders, and the officers rode high-headed horses into the city.

Except for the main street where the ceremony was held, only a few Japanese soldiers patrolled the adjacent street.

The Japanese soldiers had won too many victories on Chinese soil, and they were too accustomed to the enemy immediately admitting defeat.

Unfortunately, this time, their enemy was a team that had been carefully mobilized and trained through the paths. Although it has not been for a long time, their mental outlook has not been the same, and that is enough.

At this time, the Japanese commander received the first telegram, saying that there were soldiers in Chengli, Nanjing, according to intelligence, Nanjing was very strange and a trap, and quickly withdrew.

The Japanese commander has already entered the city, how can he retreat?

There were sporadic gunshots in the city.

Look, there is still sporadic resistance, everything is normal, there is nothing eccentric. These people in the command knew that there was a fuss. Ignoring him, the ceremony of entering the city proceeded as usual.

The infantry is finished, followed by artillery, and cavalry.

Except for the troops who occupied the important places around the city of Nanjing, the Japanese troops had all entered the city.

The Japanese troops had walked for forty minutes, and all of them had entered the city, and the vanguard had approached the presidential palace.

The 19th Brigade of the Japanese Army has arrived at Shimonoseki.

Shimonoseki was silent, and there was not a single figure. The 19th Brigade searched Xiaguan and reported to the command: preliminary judgment, the Chinese defenders had crossed the river. Our search is continuing.

Shanghai Command.

Matsui sent a telegram. Because of the lack of thorough analysis of intelligence, the tone of the telegram was not strong. However, he always sensed that something was wrong: where had so many Chinese defenders gone? Why did the Chinese army retreat so neatly? Then he ordered: "Pass the order, the troops entering the city should pay attention to searching the Chinese garrison troops to prevent a sneak attack and prevent the scattered Chinese troops from sneaking attack." Troops who did not enter the city were not allowed to enter the city. ”

The order reached the combat unit, and the communications staff received a telegram and sent a herald to report. The commander of the brigade Zhang and the division had already packed up the headquarters and went to the city.

The herald quickly chased after him, and had just entered the city from the Zhonghua Gate, when he saw that more than a dozen military vehicles from the headquarters had already entered the city gate, and they were just in front, so he urged the horses to chase after them.

Before the herald arrived at the convoy, he dismounted and saluted.

The car stopped.

The door opened.

At this time, I knew where a shout came: "Fire, fight!" ”

The doors of more than a dozen shops were smashed open, machine guns!

The grenade was thrown. Explosions rang out.

Gunshots rang out.

Bullets were fired from behind all the doors and windows along the street. Many people were killed before their rifles could be raised. Many people fell to the ground in a panic, trampled to death by others, trampled to death by startled horses.

The devil began to fight back.

At this time, a shout came from nowhere: "**, ready!" Cast! ”

Bottles were thrown out from behind the doors on both sides, and flames burned on the mouth of the bottles, and the bottles rolled in the air, fell to the car, and exploded again, and then exploded, and the flames immediately filled the entire body.

One by one, the bottles fell on the streets, on the cars, on the steel helmets.

The Japanese soldiers reacted quickly and fired at both sides of the street.

However, the Molotov cocktail tactics of the path: "Throw Molotov cocktails behind cover, regardless of whether the Molotov cocktails are accurate or not." No part of the body should be exposed to the cover. ”

The shot couldn't stop the incendiary flasks from flying.

The entire street, starting from Zhonghua Gate to the Presidential Palace, Zhonghua Road, Hongwu Road, and Changjiang Road, all turned into a sea of fire.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in this era is much stronger than that of the Chinese army, but no matter how strong the combat power is, it has not encountered so many Molotov cocktails, who can still exert strong combat effectiveness in such a fire.

Shouts came from both sides of the street: "Molotov cocktails, pay attention to where there is no burning, quickly make up for it!" Can't be disconnected! ”

The four tanks at the forefront of the entrance ceremony saw the Molotov cocktails, thought their tanks were burning, opened their lids one after another, jumped out of the tanks, and were shot by rifle machine guns on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, the majestic tanks stopped moving.

The street in front of the presidential palace was wide, and someone was about to throw Molotov cocktails at the tank, and the commander next to him said: "Don't burn the tank." The tank is already mine. Burn people! ”

Another order came from both sides of the street, press down on the muzzle of the gun, don't shoot at the comrades on the opposite side! The muzzle of the gun is to the side, do not shoot at the comrades across the street! Pay attention to cooperation! Watch out for people who are close to you! Don't mess with guns! Steady! Don't throw grenades! Let the fire burn! Watch out for enemies that aren't on fire!

The Japanese screamed.

One person screamed, and immediately transmitted to the others.

A large number of Japanese soldiers were on fire, and many of them rolled all over the ground, and some of them had extinguished the fire, but after rolling too much, they got a new fire, because the streets were full of fires, and there were broken glass everywhere.

Some of the half-sized plane trees on both sides of the street were also on fire. These plane trees have just been planted for a few years, and now they have become forests, which is a must in Nanjing.

An explosion rang out on the Zhonghua Gate. Then, explosions sounded at Shence Gate, Houzai Gate, and Guanghua Gate, some were buried explosives, and some were explosions from shelling and running.

The Japanese devils on the city gate were bombed badly, because there were many corners where they could have been hiding, but they were exactly where the explosives were buried.

There were too many bombs and explosives on several city gates, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The devils outside the city quickly assembled, and quickly rushed inside the city, and encountered a strong resistance at the city gate, and the newly captured infantry artillery and the barricades that had been built far away were aimed at the city gates together, and several city gates were simply the city of Shura. The devil artillery outside the city came for reinforcements, but the opponent's position was near the city wall, in the dead corner, and it couldn't be hit.

The fires in the streets continue to burn.

There were shouts from both sides: "Stop! **Stop it! ** Soldier Free Fire! "Don't let the fire reach your positions!"

The devils in the streets are still burning. Many devils can't stand it anymore, some of them were burned to death, more were choked to death by smoke, and many died by suicide.

Some of the devils were very strong and helped each other to extinguish the fire on their bodies, and several people covered each other and began to shoot bombs on both sides of the street. However, their counterattack was soon met with machine guns. These powerful counter-attacks resulted in casualties among the garrison.

Some devils fought back, and even occupied a house, killing the garrison inside the house, if it were not for the machine gun fortifications arranged at the intersection of the paths, the consequences would be unimaginable, because most of the German armament units did not have bayonets on their guns, and after the bullets were fired, the melee ability was very weak.

After a while, the devil began to despair, the wounded devil began to commit suicide, using grenades, and many soldiers who attacked were killed and injured by the devil's grenades.

The fire in the street burned for two hours. Intense shooting and explosions rang out for two hours.

By four o'clock, the gunfire gradually stopped.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaolu released the thirtieth battle report, which was a letter: "I am Lieutenant General Lu Xiaoming, commander of the Nanjing garrison. General Gu Shoufu: I solemnly announce to you that we will start this morning and bring your men into the city of Nanjing, and use the method of street warfare to kill all the Japanese troops who entered the city. Preliminary estimates put more than 30,000 people killed and wounded. At present, Nanjing is still in my hands. The Zhonghua Gate is in my hands, the Guanghua Gate is in my hands, the Houzai Gate is in my hands, and the Shence Gate is also in my hands. The Chinese are invincible! China will not give in! General Gu Shoufu, do you dare to come to Nanjing to fight with me! General Hatohiko of the Asahika Palace, do you dare to come to Nanjing to fight with me! General Matsui Shigen, do you dare to come to Nanjing to fight with me! ”

At 10:50 a.m., the whole country received this battle report.

The people of the whole country had just been struck down by the great grief of the occupation of the capital, and suddenly received such an exciting piece of news, which people did not know whether it was true or not, and were somewhat skeptical. However, the major newspapers still went out and distributed them free of charge.

Japan itself also received this war report, and did not believe it was true at all.
