Chapter 214: Fire Attack (New Book Released, Welcome to Support!) )
"Bell, bell, bell......"
After the mountain cannon was pushed to the center of the road, the artilleryman behind the cannon shield immediately put down the cartridge box behind his back and took out a shell from it, and the copper belt of the shell scattered some copper light in the sun.
"Boom"
88-mm shells were stuffed into the breech.
Rumble......
With the sound of artillery, a ball of artillery flame gushed out in the middle of the street at the same time, the ash was swept away by the blast wave of the muzzle, in the offensive battle, the mountain artillery that accompanied the infantry attack became the most advantageous helper of the infantry, the direct fire of the mountain artillery hit very accurately, after the barricade set up by the Japanese army on the street was hit, it was immediately blown into a pile of rammed powder, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the barricade were blown into the sky.
"Hit"
The soldiers shouted in their hearts, but there was no trace of excitement on their faces, almost at the moment when the barricade was hit, the soldiers on both sides of the road immediately jumped forward through the smoke of gunpowder, in the smoke and dust, the enemy's bullets rained down, almost without any interruption, after the charging soldiers were hit by bullets, the bullets that pierced through the body dragged a cloud of blood mist, but death could not stop their steps.
"Smack, smack......"
Jumping over the destroyed barricades, Wei Ze fired more than a dozen rounds at several wriggling figures with a submachine gun, and then immediately lay on the ground, waiting for the artillery to fire again.
Behind him, Wu Zhenhua was vigilantly pointing his rifle to the side, today was the second day of the attack on Kagawa, and in the past two days of fighting, the tragic price had made them learn how to fight, to be precise, how to face the hostile Japanese.
Often at this time, it is not even the Japanese soldiers in military uniforms who need to be careful the most, but the Japanese, who will suddenly rush out of the room and slash wildly at the nearest soldier with their knives, and because of this, here, there are no rules of engagement at all.
"All living Japanese are enemies"
"Left Security"
As soon as Wu Zhenhua shouted, he listened to the sergeant shout.
"Grenade"
The next second, a grenade was thrown in smoke, and the squeaky grenade was located right in the middle of the street, and if the grenade exploded in this unobstructed street, even if everyone was lying on the ground, there might be someone ...... At that moment, suddenly a figure jumped over, the closest wounded person to the grenade.
"Ah......h
He almost desperately threw himself at the smoking grenade.
At the moment when everyone was stunned by this scene and held their breath, the grenade exploded under the wounded man, blood and flesh were scattered on the street, and a black shadow flew in front of him, and before he could avoid the danger, a ball of blood was hit on his face, and everyone could feel the body and mind shaken at the moment of the explosion.
"Kill ......"
In an instant, everyone only felt that their brains were hot, their eyes were red, and the dull and silent attack suddenly changed, and bursts of angry roars burst out from their voices, like the comrades around them, Wei Ze was also completely desperate to rush towards the barricade in the distance with a submachine gun, the bullets swept around the attacking officers and soldiers, and from time to time there were soldiers who were knocked to the ground, and finally rushed to the barricade The moment the submachine gun in Wei Ze's hand rang out, accompanied by the sound of gunfire and blood mist rising under the barricade under his feet, light machine gunners, The submachine gunners would have jumped on the barricades.
Forcibly conquering a barricade, watching the Japanese army flee backwards, while changing the magazine, Wei Ze chased after him, and the soldiers who were filled with anger completely forgot the requirement of "don't attack", and finally it was not until five or six soldiers were *** in succession that Wei Ze blew the whistle and stopped the attack.
Before the artillery artillery was pushed up, they had no choice but to let their anger fill their hearts with the barricades.
"Sir, I'll try it from the rooftop"
As he spoke, Wu Zhenhua, who was covered in blood, took out two grenades from Wei Ze's grenade bag and slammed open the door of the wooden house next to him.
Breaking into the empty room and breaking into the courtyard, the moment he saw a figure flickering, Wu Zhenhua did not hesitate to stab at the figure with a bayonet.
"Ah......h
A child's scream came into his ears, but Wu Zhenhua did not hesitate, turned the gun hard, and at the moment of pulling out the spear, he noticed that he had killed a child who was only ** years old, and the whole person was stunned instantly, at this time there was a woman's scream in his ears, and a woman ran out of the inner room, at this time, there were several gunshots behind Wu Zhenhua, and the woman in the kimono fell to the ground. ,
After using the submachine gun *** the woman, Wei Ze yelled at the stunned Wu Zhenhua.
"Get to the house"
As he spoke, Wei Ze stepped on the wall and jumped on the roof of the house, followed by several soldiers.
"Be careful"
After running forward along the roof for more than 20 meters, I looked up and looked down at the barricades made of sandbags below, where dozens of Japanese soldiers and civilians were shooting desperately.
Five grenades were asked from the hands of their subordinates, and they were directly tied into a bundle with their feet, and the safety cover of the grenade bombs was twisted in turn, and the detonation line was pulled, and the grenades suddenly ......"squeaked" white smoke.
"One, Two, Three, Four"
When the time reached four, Wei Ze threw the grenade with a wave of his arm, and then quickly lay on the roof.
"Boom ......"
Immediately after the violent explosion, five or six fighters pulled the trigger from the roof downwards.
When the battle entered the white heat, Zhao Gang's eyes were fixed on the barricades, he paced back and forth, and when he saw the wounded soldiers being carried off the line of fire, looking at the appearance of blood gushing out of the wounds of the wounded, his whole heart was pressed with anger.
The casualties of the troops were increasing, but the battle was hardly progressive, and the Japanese defending Kagawa poured their last strength into desperate resistance, and if the battle continued like this, the losses of the troops would only increase.
"Battalion commander, the south wind is blowing, let's ......"
"Order the troops to retreat, set fire, burn, burn these bastards"
A new order came out of Zhao Gang's mouth, and as soon as the order was issued, the trumpeter immediately blew the military trumpet, and the soldiers carrying kerosene drums at the same time began to pour kerosene towards nearby buildings.
Nearly noon, when the north wind blew, several attacking troops lit fires at the same time, first the houses that had been poured with kerosene, the flames instantly ignited the wooden Japanese buildings, and then the flames connected like a sea tide in just a few minutes, burning the bodies of the Japanese on the streets, the flames spread to the north with the help of the wind, billowing smoke enveloped the entire battlefield, in the dazzling midday sun, the flames that were difficult to see directly burned, rolling towards the area controlled by the Japanese army, and the attacking troops followed behind the flamesto quickly occupy those occupied territories that have just been withdrawn.
Following behind the flames, Wei Ze could feel the heat of the flames, and in the flames, bursts of screams could be heard from time to time, and occasionally the screams of women could be heard, and in the flames, he could even see enemies running back and forth with flames burning all over their bodies.
"Don't kill them, let them burn"
Whenever a burning fire man is seen rushing out of the flames, there is always someone shouting loudly.
On this day, when the sun was still high, it had already captured a position only more than 200 meters from the pier, and the fire attack had a miraculous effect, and the barricades that had cost lives every 100 meters of the front line collapsed in the face of this unexpected fire attack, and the enemy had to retreat.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle came to an end, and the troops who had reached the river sat down in the streets that had been completely burned by the flames, and despite the occasional shells, the soldiers straightened their legs and sat on the still hot stone pavement, exhausted from the fierce fighting, and did not even want to open their eyes.
In addition to the smell of burning firewood, the surrounding air was mixed with the smell of burnt meat, which was the smell of the bodies of burned Japanese, and around the soldiers, you could occasionally see the Japanese charred, who took the dry food from the dry food bags, quietly ate compressed biscuits, and drank the water that had been roasted by the flames.
And on the stone pillar of a stone plaque, a soldier wrote with a pen: "In Yanhuang 4604, on May 1, the Second Infantry Regiment of the First Infantry Division occupied"
At night, the streets and alleys of Kagawa Prefecture were still in flames, including fires caused by shelling, but more of them were set on fire by the attacking troops, and in some neighborhoods of the city, red-eyed soldiers went door to door to clear the resistance, and the gunfire rang out all night in the occupied area, and this was the last battle in Kagawa Prefecture, and the next day, when the sky was light, the soldiers who hit the port and the fish viewing platform finally breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the half of the burned city behind them.
The battle is over
After the battle, the more than 20,000 surviving citizens of Kagawa Prefecture were driven to the burned city, where the army set up a refugee area, and in other parts of the street, there was hardly a Japanese to be seen, only the middle ** people wandering the streets, collecting all kinds of supplies. ,
All the shops on the streets were either burned down or expropriated, and Kagawa Prefecture was full of desolation, and everything in the city that could be called supplies was gone, or destroyed by artillery fire, destroyed in flames, or requisitioned.
Walking through the streets of Kagawa, the bleak scene on the road made Zhao Gang feel something.
"Kagawa Castle was ruined like this, and the victory or defeat of the war is another matter, because this war was not fought in China itself, so I feel very fortunate that in the face of foreign invasion, a country has lost its wealth, the people have no food and clothing, and the situation of women is even more miserable, if all this happened in China, what would you think?"
Wei Ze, who was following behind the battalion commander, looked at the scene in front of him.
"It is indeed very miserable to be the defeated side in the war, and the situation in the capital was not much stronger than this, I think, we can't treat the war as a child's play, if you want to fight, you must win no matter what, that is, you owe debts to your grandchildren, and you must win the war until you have grandchildren's debts, otherwise you ......."
Wei Ze, who had once served as a Qing army guarding Beijing, changed his expression slightly.
"Otherwise, it will be the common people who will suffer."
At this moment, his group of captured Japanese soldiers and people from the National Advance Team, escorted by the military police, walked towards the prisoner of war camp outside the city, but there were a few soldiers rushing over.
"Kill these bastards, kill little Japan"
One soldier shouted, and then stabbed a bayonet into the chest of a Japanese prisoner, and while the gendarmes tried to stop them, several more soldiers rushed over, and for a while, the screams continued to echo in the streets, no one used a gun, all with bayonets, and in a short time there were dozens more corpses on the ground, and the gendarmes looked at them with angry faces.
Finally, a sergeant gendarme pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger, while everyone was stunned.
"Enough, enough, my brothers, those who stand up, you can clean up as you want, but these people, they are prisoners......"
"No, kill them, kill them all"
And Zhao Gang and Wei Ze just stared blankly at the scene in front of them, both of them knew that at this time, the actions of those soldiers with anger in their hearts could not be stopped at all, this war changed a lot of things, like, at this time, they saw Wu Zhenhua and Song Pengcheng and a few people laughing and walking in the direction of the refugee camp, and even Chen Mingtian among them, in the excited war, everyone became indifferent and indifferent to everything, and turned into a cynical soldier, In addition to maintaining the trust and friendship between brothers, they also became interested in the vices of the soldiers, and learned quickly, and it was a complete kind of self-depravity, like a good student becoming a little rascal, not only not ashamed of this depravity, but proud of it, and even boasting about it complacently.
"Me, I'm not going to play with women,"
"I can get women too"
"I stabbed a Japanese to death with a bayonet"
"I'm going to set fire to the house, too"
At this time, Wei Ze heard the words of Chen Mingtian and the people next to him in the distance.
Do you know the two poems "The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings chrysanthemums across the river"? I am here to comfort the souls of the daughters of the dead......"
Chen Mingtian's sharp change only made Wei Ze sigh in his heart, this person always changes too fast
"Looks like everyone is enjoying the winner's freedom."
Zhao Gang shook his head and sighed, and then he looked at Wei Ze again.
"Let them indulge for a few days, and after two days, you have to clean them up"
"Yes, sir"
In response, Wei Ze looked at some of the newly opened shops next to him, which were some Chinese merchants who had rushed from Kochi, they were allowed to open a few restaurants here, and the soldiers flocked to these small restaurants in groups, and the soldiers had to go to these Chinese restaurants if they wanted to eat something in addition to the food in the barracks, and more merchants sold their goods to the Japanese in the name of opening "military stores".
The Japanese in the refugee area were very short of necessities, and more and more people came out to buy things after receiving their conscience certificates, and when they took out paper notes and yen to buy things, the merchants refused to sell them to them, and then drove them out of the stores, and groups of Japanese who could not buy things wandered in front of the shops in confusion, wearing suits or kimonos, looking at the Chinese soldiers who were eating and playing with a dull expression, from which we can also see the miserable situation of the people on the defeated side. ,
Correspondingly, the soldiers are very interested in things like Japanese jewelry, which can be souvenirs or given as gifts, although most of these soldiers do not know how to do business, but after all, they also carry guns, and often buy a necklace with a military voucher of one or two dollars, and buy a ring for a few cents.
But they didn't know that the Japanese would use this dollar or two or those cents to buy enamel plates, a plate costs five cents, and one dollar can buy twenty, and then he lowered his head and took these twenty plates back to the refugee area, where they would sell them for a dime or more, and in the refugee area where money could not buy anything, anything could be bought and sold, and the price was very high, and some women even seduced soldiers and exchanged their bodies for food and living supplies.
The refugee camp is run by the gendarmerie, and there are sentinels standing on the border line, and after receiving the certificate of good citizenship, the refugees wear white cloth armbands with the word "倭" written on them, and then they go around the streets, and finally return to the refugee camp disappointed, all of them with sad faces, and most of their homes have been burned down.
"Three packs of cigarettes, a lot"
With three packs of cigarettes in his hand, Song Pengcheng discussed with the military police guarding the refugee camp, which was very safe compared to the urban area, and there were military police responsible for protection.
The gendarmes, on the other hand, had their eyes half-closed, and did not look at the three packs of cigarettes.
"I still have a small knife here, you see......"
"Don't think I don't know what your idea is, when you go to the refugee camp, you can coax a woman with a steamed bun, and this woman will have to pay at least five cents in the courtyard...... You, one, two, three, four, ......"
"Hey, brother, you're so dark......"
There was no way, Song Pengcheng took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket again.
"Yes, brother, I should quit smoking"
"Hehe...... "Only then did the military police on guard smile with satisfaction, put the cigarette in his pocket, and then nodded his chin to the camp.
"You have to take it easy, don't be strong, otherwise, I won't be able to explain it......"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you see that our brother is like a strong person, didn't I bring a bag of things, and when this thing swings towards that, those Japanese girls don't run to me one by one, crying and begging me to ask him to ......"
"Damn the Chinese"
The *** Nishimura, whose legs were injured by shrapnel, saw another group of soldiers walking into the refugee camp and setting up a stall by the barbed wire, and couldn't help but curse, looking at the faces of those women, which also became extremely ugly, and those women lost their Japanese faces.
