The fort wall soon began to collapse under the bombardment of the Type 92 infantry artillery, and the soldiers and civilians of the 4th District had to withdraw from above, leaving only a few people to hide on the turret to observe the enemy's situation. The bombardment continued, and after a while the fort wall finally became unbearable, and with a loud bang the wall collapsed, revealing a huge gap. After opening the passage, the artillery fire then extended into the city, and a dozen more shells were fired before it stopped.

Finally, it was the turn of the infantry, and Squadron Leader Kawaguchi, who had been waiting impatiently, raised his command knife and howled, "Kill it!" ”

More than 100 devils shouted "onboard" in a loud voice, rushed in from the gap with guns, and smashed into the fort. At that time, the national army was very afraid of this kind of long live charge, and the weaker troops would collapse as soon as they rushed, so the devils also liked this method very much.

Entering through the gap in the fort wall is the backyard of a family. Originally, there was an alley between the courtyard wall and the fort wall, but when the fort wall collapsed, the courtyard wall was also smashed, and the alleys on both sides became very congested. In this way, there are three roads in front of the devil - the exits on both sides of the alley and the backyard. From the backyard all the way to Front Street.

Squadron Leader Kawaguchi then ordered the three squads to separate assaults, each advancing deep into the fort from a passage.

The squad leader hesitated for a moment and said, "Squadron leader, there are a large number of people in the fort, and we will not have an advantage in strength and firepower after dividing the troops. ”

Squadron Leader Kawaguchi sneered: "The people of Shina have fled like rats!" All you have to do is get them out of the hole. ”

When the devils heard this, they all laughed proudly. The three squads then moved forward in different directions, with Kawaguchi taking the squadron headquarters in the backyard direction. They quickly walked through the backyard and from the hall to the front yard. There is not a single person in these areas, which seems to confirm Kawaguchi's statement.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Kawaguchi commanded his troops to speed up the advance. At this moment, a huge shout suddenly came from inside the fort, which was mixed with the sound of the Japanese army on board at first, but it was quickly muffled, and only the shouts of the Chinese remained. The sound was deafening, and it would never have been possible without thousands of people shouting together. Kawaguchi and the others were taken aback and rushed all the way to the street in front of them, trying to make a detour to rescue the other two squads.

The streets were deserted, and Kawaguchi and the squad leader each led a group of soldiers and ran in two directions. They had just reached a street corner when the gate of the courtyard around them suddenly opened, and a frenzied attack began. First of all, a dozen grenades were thrown over, and before the smoke cleared, a large group of Chinese with various weapons rushed over.

There are not only men, but also women; Only a very small number of them wore military uniforms, and the vast majority were ordinary people. Only a very small number of them were armed with guns, most of them were cold weapons, and even primitive weapons such as wooden sticks.

It can be seen that these ordinary people are very scared, and some even rush over with their eyes closed. But they rushed madly towards the devils, not like they were going to die, but as if they were going to a feast. The two groups of centaurs collided violently like huge waves crashing on a reef, and a burst of blood burst out in an instant.

The devil picked up the 38 big cover, inserted the bayonet, and formed a formation. The Chinese who rushed to the front screamed and fell to the ground. But then there was a strong surge, and a small group of Japanese troops was squeezed into pieces, and soon drowned in the crowd. Squadron Leader Kawaguchi was not spared, and after fighting to kill three Chinese, he was beaten to the ground by a wooden stick and fell to the ground, and then countless large feet stepped over him. Kawaguchi was quickly trampled into a bloody blur, and only cramped like two times, and went to see Aunt Amaterasu. However, most of his aunts are unrecognizable.

Except for Kawaguchi, the other three Japanese troops suffered similar encounters. Under the frantic attack of the soldiers and civilians of the fourth district, they had to flee desperately. But the soldiers and civilians of the four districts were red-eyed, tried hard to catch up, and refused to give up. Every devil who fell behind was either hacked to death on the spot or trampled to death. If it hadn't been for the response of another Japanese army at the gap, I was afraid that the Kawaguchi squadron would have been wiped out.

Watching the Kawaguchi squadron burst into the city, Izawa Nakasa thought the battle was over. However, just in case, he still sent an infantry squadron and a heavy machine gun squad to follow into the fort as backup. As soon as this unit entered the fort, it was met with a defeated army of Kawaguchi's department, which was so frightened that it was unable to possess its soul. Immediately afterwards, the Chinese soldiers and civilians who were chasing them also rushed over.

Seeing that something was wrong, the Japanese army hurriedly used heavy machine guns to strafe them, and several devils behind the palace were also killed on the spot. Of course, the soldiers and civilians of the Fourth District also suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. The Japanese did not dare to pursue again, so they had to hold the gap on the spot, and then ask for "tactical guidance" from the brigade headquarters.

Such a result was not expected by Izawa Nakasa, who thought that victory was in sight, and did not expect such a crazy attack on the Kawaguchi squadron at all. A squadron consisted of nearly two hundred men, and less than fifty eventually escaped. If it weren't for those heavy machine guns, I am afraid that I would have to catch a lot of Japanese soldiers.

The squadron leader in charge of answering the report said: "Your Excellency Nakasa, the people in it have gone crazy! Neither men nor women, soldiers or civilians, do not give orders to attack our army...... They hold the most primitive weapons, but they don't know how to be afraid......"

Izawa was a little confused and said, "Haven't they already collapsed?" Why do you have such a strong will? ”

He didn't understand, wasn't the method just now bloody enough? Why didn't you intimidate these people? Doesn't such a massacre bring them to their knees?

After the war, Zheng Weiguo asked Wu Quanfu: "I heard that you organized all the people in the fort to fight to the death against the Japanese army?" ”

Wu Quanfu was ashamed and said: "It's all my fault for my improper command, which has brought great casualties to the people of the four districts, please punish me!" ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "Although the battle of Weijiabao suffered a lot of casualties and was a lesson, I don't blame you. The devil is mad, and even if the people do not resist, they will inevitably be slaughtered. Instead of letting the devils attack the fort and capture the people alive, and then line up to cut off their heads with knives, it is better to fight to the death! I'm just curious how you managed to organize the people to fight in such a short period of time. ”

The Nanjing Massacre is an eternal pain for the Chinese. The most distressing thing is the picture of the soldiers of the national army waiting in line to be beheaded. Why don't you resist? The knife will be on the neck, and you will not use it? There are also massacres like Panjiayu, where more than 3,000 villagers were driven to a big pit by devils and slaughtered. The intention of the massacre is so obvious, why not fight for it? In fact, several villages in North China successfully used cold weapons to completely annihilate the Japanese troops in the squad. Even if you fight it all, you can pull a few devils on your back, right? Why did you die so poorly?

It's a pity that most people lost the courage to resist at this time, and they waited to be slaughtered like animals! What's wrong with China? Has our blood been worn away?

Wu Quanfu recalled the bloody battle, couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "I didn't organize it, it was the patriarchs of all ethnic groups who came to me after organizing it." ”

One of the characteristics of the northern countryside is that they live together with ethnic groups, so many villages are named after their surnames. In the clan, there are generally people of high moral standing who serve as the patriarch and are responsible for handling the affairs of the clan. At that time, it was time for each family to face life and death, so all the clans gathered together to plan a way out.

According to later investigations, they did not think of surrendering the devils, and some even offered to help the devils take Weijiabao. It can be seen that after seeing the cruelty of the devil, no one mentioned this unrealistic idea again. The patriarchs of the various clans finally decided to help the security team until dark, on the condition that if everyone died in battle, the security team would save the children in the clan for them as much as possible - this was the hope of the continuation of the family name.

Wu Quanfu thought twice and agreed to the requests of the families. To this end, he ordered the youngest twelve fighters from the battalion to be selected to protect children under the age of 16 in the city. Instead of participating in the defense of the city, they hid in the safest place and waited for it to get dark, and then found a way to sneak out of the city. As for the remaining 4,000 or so people in the fort, they were each responsible for defending an area in the family unit. Since these civilians did not understand military affairs, Wu Quanfu assigned a small squad of five to eight people to each of them, as well as a few team members who did not go out of the city.

When Kawaguchi's squadron attacked the fort, it was besieged by six large families. All of these families suffered heavy casualties, especially two families who were killed and chased all the way to the gap, only to be strafed by the Japanese heavy machine guns. But these sacrifices were not meaningless - they saved the entire fort from the army and civilians.

Annoyed, Captain Izawa then ordered another attack. This time, the devils learned well, and every time they went to a street corner, they set up barricades and set up machine guns. This step-by-step approach was a headache for the soldiers and civilians, who rushed several times and were swept back by machine guns, and the streets were soon filled with corpses.

The Japanese then advanced in depth, and because they were well prepared, the sea of military and civilian attacks gradually became ineffective, and only added casualties. Wu Quanfu had to order the abandonment of some courtyards, but the devil took advantage of the situation to force up, and from time to time sent squads to intersperse in all directions, trying to cut off the defense line of the military and civilians in the four districts.

At this critical juncture, the earth-shattering sound of the charge suddenly came. The voice was so loud that it pierced through the noise of the battlefield and reached everyone's ears.

A soldier grabbed Wu Quanfu and shouted excitedly: "Battalion commander, listen! You listen! ”

Wu Quanfu nodded vigorously and said, "I heard, I heard!" He shouted with joy: "Brothers, fellow villagers! The main force is back! The group has brought people back! ”

This bugle was a great improvement over the previous attack on Weijiabao by the Security Regiment, but the soldiers of the 2nd Independent Battalion were not surprised, because they were already a unit that was making rapid progress.

The optimism of the fighters infected all military and civilians. The news of the arrival of reinforcements by the main force soon spread throughout the fort, and the morale of the army and civilians was greatly boosted.

In the Fourth District, the military and civilians heard the sound of a military horn like fairy music, but in the Japanese army, it sounded like a death knell. Most of the strength of the Izawa Brigade was fighting inside the fort, and only the brigade headquarters, infantry artillery squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and a transport squadron were left outside the fort, adding up to less than 400 men, and there was no pure combat unit. At this time, if it is attacked by a large army, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

The squadron leader of the Inoguchi squadron, who was in charge of the various units in the fort, had to immediately order to stop the attack, and tried to disengage and prepare to return to support the brigade headquarters. Soon, the brigade headquarters also sent a signal to retreat, and it seemed that the situation outside the fort was really bad. The captain of the pig mouth squadron was so anxious that he couldn't rush out of the city immediately. However, the Japanese army had attacked too fiercely before, and the courtyards occupied by them were intertwined with the courtyards controlled by the military and civilians in the four districts, and it was not easy to retreat.

The soldiers and civilians in the fort are now fighting with fire, and the battle is getting better and better. Wu Quanfu was even able to mobilize troops to fight some small-scale counterattacks. The devil tried to storm for a while and then retreat, but Wu Quanfu knew that the initiative had been transferred, and he did not fight hard with the devil. When the devil attacks him, he retreats; As soon as the devil retreated, he led his troops to catch up, anyway, he didn't let the devil withdraw from Weijiabao smoothly.

The battle went on for a long time, and the devil was forced to be helpless, so he had to resort to the method of cutting off the tail of the gecko and leaving a squad behind. Wu Quanfu knew that if he dragged the devils in the fort for one more minute at this time, the battle outside the fort would have a better chance of winning, so he only left half of his men to surround the team, and then led the other half of the men to continue to stick to the devils. In this way, they were entangled all the way to death and did not give the devil a chance to escape, and the shouting and killing of the Chinese outside the fort obviously covered the howl of the Japanese army. This was not a good sign for the Japanese army, and the squadron leader of the pig mouth was so anxious that he wanted to hit his head against the wall.
