CHAPTER II 7

Another difficult night passed, and as soon as the sky turned into day, General Matsui Ishone, commander of the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, issued the "General Attack Order on the City of Nanjing" to the besieging troops under his command. The air support team drawn from Baoding has already arrived over the city of Nanjing, and the first flight formation is circling back and forth over the Purple Mountain, like a flock of eagles, through its flying posture to make provocative movements to the citizens and garrison troops of Nanjing, through the sonic boom ejected from the engine, to warn all the Chinese in the city of Nanjing: The Imperial Japanese Army can conquer the whole of Nanjing on the same day!

Takari Yamamoto, then air commander of the 1st Flight Formation and captain of a long plane, described the volley demonstration after the war as follows: "We sounded the death knell to all the Chinese in the city through the roar of the engine like a messenger sent by death. To put it mildly, this can also be regarded as a "Funeral March" in the style of aviation. ”

The attack echelon composed of 15 "Type 95" tanks launched the final breakthrough against the outlying positions in Nanjing, and the Zhonghua Gate, Chunhua Town, Yangfang Mountain, Saigong Bridge and other military important places were broken one after another. More than 20 "92" type cavalry armored vehicles as the pioneer of the first step into the city of Nanjing, along the way can be described as a rampage, killing people when they see them, as if entering a no-man's land, half of the city of Nanjing fell into the hands of the enemy in the blink of an eye.

The vanguard of the Ninth Division had moved the battle line from Daxiaochang to the area around Bailuzhou Park, and with the cooperation of the Japanese army's powerful firepower and armored vehicles, Yang Longfei and others had become an obvious rout. In desperation, the Chinese defenders could only rush into the park and engage in street battles with the Japanese army.

At this time, not only was the outer defense line of Nanjing City completely lost, but even the urban area became a battlefield full of artillery fire. After the Japanese siege troops entered the city, they pursued the Chinese defenders while carrying out inhumane destruction and killing of surrounding buildings, houses and citizens. However, the Japanese army's range of activities was limited to the city gate and the suburbs, and in view of the stubborn resistance of the Chinese defenders, they could not eat the entire city of Nanjing in one bite for the time being.

In the chaos, Fang Luocheng was separated from Yang Longfei and Tie Haichuan, and he did not know where to go, so the Chinese defenders who poured into Bailuzhou Park were only Tie Haichuan's 89th Regiment and Yang Longfei's 25th Regiment, plus some of the remaining officers and soldiers of the original 259 Brigade, with a total strength of less than 1,500 people.

Within minutes of the defenders entering the park, they were discovered by the Japanese troops who were pursuing them behind. Seeing this, the vanguard of the Japanese army was excited, and their soldiers were very enthusiastic and good at street fighting. Without waiting for the commander's orders, these fanatical militarists stormed the park in droves and engaged the Chinese defenders in ambush in the park again......

The Japanese army broke through the south gate of Bailuzhou Park into the park, and fought from Lanyi Pavilion to Guanlan Pavilion, and the Chinese defenders fought and retreated, until they retreated to the pier near the northeast gate of the park to rebuild their positions. Originally, there were a few moored ships in the harbor of the wharf, but after the order of the garrison commander Tang Shengzhi, all the ships in the park have been destroyed, and all that remains are scattered wreckage floating on the water.

Helplessly, Yang Longfei and others could only adapt measures to local conditions and build new fortifications around the wharf, so as to block the Japanese army's eastward advance. Seeing that the Japanese attack was frustrated, but it did not affect the morale at all, but the more he fought, the happier he became, Yang Longfei was so angry that he directly threw his hat on the ground, snatched a Czech light machine gun from the hand of the soldier next to him and aimed it at the Japanese army. The almost frenzied Japanese army did not relent, and came up covered by several rounds of artillery fire, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After the first round of attacks ended, Yang Longfei had to abandon the temporary fortifications at the pier again, and planned to lead the troops to break through from the north gate of the park. In the process of breaking through, Yang Longfei also figured it out: let's retreat while fighting, and don't establish a new position, where to fight.

The vanguard of the Japanese army was like a piece of dog skin plaster clinging to the back of Yang Longfei and the others, as if they couldn't get rid of it.

It doesn't matter if this retreat, the Eagle Peak Temple in Bailuzhou Park is a big bad luck, from the Pilu Treasure Hall to the Nian Buddha Hall, the Japanese follow-up troops gathered the temple hosts and monks together like chickens, and a Japanese second lieutenant did not allow the other party to speak, and ordered the machine gunners to open fire. Under the tongues of fire that erupted from the muzzles of the guns, the monks fell in pieces like sickles cutting wheat. The Japanese second lieutenant who gave the order to open fire looked at the corpses of more than 20 monks lying in a pool of blood, and his face was filled with a cruel smile that brought pleasure after killing.

The brutal nature of the Japanese army was finally revealed unreservedly, and in the face of such inhuman Japanese brutes, even the Buddha was powerless. You must know that the Buddha is hidden invisibly, and he cannot protect his monks and believers in reality like mythology. At present, the Japanese army did not seem to be satisfied with their violence, looking at the several majestic temples and temples in front of them, the Japanese second lieutenant actually ordered his soldiers to set fire to the house, and in less than an hour, this century-old temple was burned.

The massacres on the outskirts of Nanjing also continued, with beheadings, disembowelments, heart-gouging, and rape...... The Japanese army put into practice almost every brutal method they could think of. The streets and highways of the city were littered with corpses and rivers of blood, and anyone who was bumped into by the Japanese, whether men, women, children, women, or children, meant that their nightmare was about to begin, and no one was spared in the face of these bloodthirsty devils. The brutal Japanese army did not care whether the other party was a peasant tenant or a lady, as long as it was Chinese, the eyes of the Japanese army were like fire, and the desire that had been silent for many days suddenly broke out at this moment, and under the claws of the Japanese army, everyone could not escape their doom.

At this moment, almost all the citizens of Nanjing really realized, what is fascism? This is fascism! I only heard about it before, but today I can see it for what it is. It can always bring the darkest and dirtiest side of human nature to the extreme, and in the face of such invaders and enemies, our nation has no way to retreat but to sacrifice its life to resist!

At this time, Yang Longfei and Tie Haichuan had broken through along Changbai Street to Jiankang Road, and before they could run to the end of Jiankang Road and turn left to Baixia Road, they met with a small group of Japanese troops on a narrow road. According to the sound of the enemy's gunfire, Yang Longfei concluded that this Japanese army did not seem to have collided with him by mistake, and if he was correct, this group of enemies should be the 35th Wing of the Japanese Ninth Division that had been biting him from behind. It's just that this group of Japanese troops is not large, and there are less than one squadron of troops to listen to the sound of gunfire.

Yang Longfei ordered the troops to save bullets, and all of them greeted his mother's *, anyway, it was a burden to carry it on his body, and he pulled it down after greeting. Yang Longfei visually measured the distance between himself and the Japanese army on the opposite side, which was only about thirty-five or six meters, such a short attack distance, even a girl estimated that she could effortlessly throw a * less than half a catty into the enemy's position, not to mention these strong men around her.

After receiving the order, the soldiers took off the * they were wearing, and under the command of Yang Longfei, the soldiers successively smashed the * that pulled the string to the Japanese position on the opposite side...... The Japanese positions were met with a "rain of flesh" amid violent explosions.

Yang Longfei's guard Wu Shigui was even more extraordinary, he actually wrapped five * with leggings to make a simple cluster*. For the convenience of throwing, he also took off his coat and undershirt, and simply followed the example of the ancients and went into battle shirtless. After hearing his loud roar, he suddenly pulled open the fuse of one of the *, shook off his arm, and after three sharp turns on the ground in a row, he threw the cluster* in his hand fiercely.

The effect of the cluster explosion* was self-evident, five or six Japanese soldiers were smashed into a sieve by the flying shrapnel, and even the glass of the surrounding houses was shattered in a powerful wave of air. Yang Longfei was overjoyed when he saw this, and punched Wu Shigui in the chest: "Little rabbit cub is okay, why didn't I find out about your ability before?" ”

Wu Shigui was also not modest: "That's it, if you want to find out, is it still called ability?" ”

Tie Haichuan braved the rain of bullets and came over and asked, "Good job, brother, there are two hits!" Brother Long Fei, this is your guard, right?

"It's like a fake!" Yang Longfei replied proudly.

Before the words fell, Yang Longfei pulled the trigger of the Browning pistol in his hand again, and only listened to "Horn!" Trumpet! Two gunshots rang out, and the two Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were shot in the eyebrows and fell to the ground.

"Brother Long Fei, how about giving me this kid? When the battle is over, I'll trade five light machine guns with you! Tie Haichuan and the sound of gunfire raised his voice.

After Yang Longfei sneered, he refused in a louder voice: "What do you kid want?" And five machine guns in exchange for one of my guards? Let me tell you the truth, he is Lao Tzu's baby, and he doesn't take it out easily! Don't say it's taking five light machine guns, even if you carry five Makqin, Lao Tzu won't change it with you! You kid dismiss this idea as soon as possible! ”

Tie Haichuan also laughed, he pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, then when the battle is over, I will find a way to get five Makqin, plus a Type 92 infantry cannon in exchange for one of your guards!" ”

"It's good to get out alive after the battle is over! Do you want to see what the future holds? I don't know what tomorrow will be...... Maybe Lao Tzu's life will be handed over here, and when the time comes, your kid will take advantage of the fire to rob again, and even his mother's light machine gun will be freed, and he will directly take the person away, as if he was fucking picking it up for nothing, am I right? Yang Longfei said.

Tie Haichuan could only smile bitterly and shake his head when he heard this, he really didn't know what words to reply.
