Chapter 97: The Bloody Battle in the City (4)

Kengo Noda, the captain of the 33rd Wing, with a solemn expression on his face, observed the position in front of him in the telescope and was silent. The captain of the 38th Wing, Sukegawa Shizuji, who was on the side, was also puzzled by Kengo Noda's strange attitude. In the ruins three hundred meters away, Lu Yuan dragged his body that was almost falling apart, slowly sat under a broken wall, and slowly pressed the bullets in the steel helmet into the empty magazine. Although Lu Yuan's more than 300 people were surrounded by the Japanese army, none of them showed a frightened or panicked expression, these soldiers all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they no longer knew what fear was?

The defensive terrain chosen by Lu Yuan was very favorable to them, the messy terrain and the broken and narrow streets full of rubble made the Japanese army only able to deploy two squadrons at a time. A defeated Japanese army was shouting to Lu Yuan in broken Chinese, asking Lu Yuan to lead the soldiers of the national army to lay down their arms, and promising to give Lu Yuan humane treatment to them. The Japanese monarch's shouting made the national soldiers in the position very contemptuous, and the hatred between the two nationalities has escalated to the point of death, except for the eternal death of one party, otherwise it will never be resolved.

"Pop" The gun in Lu Yuan's hand was suddenly fired, and the soldiers of the national army immediately applauded loudly, and the little devil who had been persuaded to surrender just now was knocked down. "Attack, wipe them all out!" Kengo Noda's distorted expression was extremely hideous. The Japanese soldiers of the two squadrons rushed forward again, and in just ten minutes, the Japanese attacking troops were again shot down by machine guns.

In the Japanese command post, Kengo Noda could not bear the humiliation caused by the failure of another attack of the troops, and finally gave the order for artillery bombardment. The shells also whistled with a sharp sound, and the opposite position was blown up in a mess, and there was no more machine gun fire back, and the Japanese finally rushed to the position. Kengo Noda and Shizuji Sukegawa walked into the ruins together, and in the heart of the hellish battlefield, hundreds of corpses overlapped as if they had been slaughtered, and the Japanese soldiers searched for any living Nationalist soldiers among the broken corpses.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, come and see, this is Yamada Shaozo of the 38th Wing, why is he wearing the military uniform of the Zhina." Kengo Noda looked at the corpse of Yamada, who had been carried out of the rubble and covered with scars and bloodstains, and was wearing a tattered national army uniform, and felt bad in his heart, and his face changed drastically and he hissed and shouted, "Retreat, retreat quickly." Unfortunately, Kengo Noda reacted too slowly, and Haneda didn't fully tell Kengo Noda the truth when he went back.

So, what happened to Haneda and Yamada 2 hours ago also happened to Kengo Noda and Shizuji Sukegawa. Just as the Japanese soldiers wondered what the Shina people were throwing flour, the hellfire suddenly burst out. With a loud "boom," the explosion shook the mountains in an instant, and the smoke of gunpowder rising from the ground completely annihilated the Japanese attacking troops, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion shattered all the glass of all buildings within a few hundred meters.

Lu Yuan used more than twice as much material this time as last time, and the shock wave generated by the explosion knocked down Lu Yuan, who had been evacuated from the sewer to more than 300 meters away. The smoke of gunpowder covered the entire position, and countless Japanese soldiers affected by the explosion wailed on the ground. Hundreds of soldiers of the Nationalist army wearing gas masks rushed up with bayonets against the smoke of gunpowder, and as soon as they saw a humanoid object on the ground, they would pass with bayonets! "Huh!" "Huh!" Every soldier of the national army who followed Lu Yuan into the same place, stabbed with a bayonet at the silhouettes of the bodies he saw.

Every Japanese soldier who died or was stunned had at least seven or eight bayonets stabbed on their bodies, and many Japanese soldiers were holding their heads and leaning against each other, their faces covered with dust, and their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths were bleeding, waiting to be pierced through their bodies by the Nationalist soldiers. The bayonet of the old cannon of "my own people" was cut open by an oncoming bayonet, and the figure shouted, "I am Shi Biaozi" These Chinese soldiers have already killed red eyes.

"Old cannon, you are crazy," Shi Biaozi swallowed back the words that came to his lips - why wasn't he in a state of half-madness? If it weren't for the vague sight that the steel helmets of the people on the opposite side were in the shape of German steel helmets that he was familiar with, maybe he would have just stabbed with a bayonet like the old cannon.

Hundreds of soldiers like hungry wolves swept through the position as quickly as a wind, rushing towards the Japanese troops behind, leaving behind Japanese soldiers and corpses in the places they passed. With the position as the center, within 300 meters of the perimeter, the corpses of Japanese soldiers were stacked on top of each other, and there were discarded weapons and mutilated Japanese corpses everywhere. "Onward! Advance! Come on! "Led by dozens of light machine guns, the soldiers of the Nationalist Army rushed towards the Japanese soldiers who did not enter the explosion circle.

A part of the Nationalist troops, who had long been hidden on the flanks of the Japanese army, even moved out a few heavy machine guns, and countless bullets blew towards the crowded Japanese troops like a storm, and the flanks of the Japanese army were full of long flames sprayed by machine guns. "Throwing bombs, throwing grenades, there are too many Japanese troops." The old cannon instructed the soldiers on his side to throw grenades. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Explosions rang out one after another, and the Japanese soldiers were immediately torn apart by the grenades, and their flesh and blood flew sideways, and the flying fragments reaped the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

"Press up, press up and kill them." The frenzied soldiers of the Nationalist Army, staring at blood-red eyes, stepped on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers like demons from hell and continued to charge. Blood was splashing wantonly, and the Japanese soldiers who had been shot kept falling to the ground, and one after another shining bayonets stabbed forward, stabbed, and stabbed again. Sappers shovel, turn up and chop, cut desperately. The Japanese command knives captured from the hands of the Japanese officers were slashed even faster, slashing one Japanese soldier after another to the ground.

At the moment of engagement, blood was flying and shooting, and the Nationalist soldiers with a mortal heart overwhelmed the Japanese in momentum in an instant, and in the first round of bayonet-to-bayonet exchanges, only a few Chinese soldiers fell, while the Japanese soldiers fell in a row. The hungry wolf-like charge of the Nationalist soldiers caught the Japanese by surprise, and the Japanese soldiers fled en masse from a few people retreating at the beginning. Some of the Japanese officers who led the team were still trying to control the troops, but they did not notice that the Chinese soldiers who had rushed to their sides were directly pierced through the body by the bayonets of the national soldiers.

A battle with no suspense or a massacre would be more appropriate, with the Japanese soldiers falling in pieces from the rain of bullets and bayonets of the Chinese soldiers. However, under the desperate resistance of a group of death squads composed of low-ranking Japanese officers such as Cao Chang and second lieutenants, some Japanese troops still managed to escape the pursuit of the Nationalist soldiers. The gunfire and shouts of killing gradually subsided, and the old cannon limped with a gun and found Lu Yuan with a major with a face covered in blood and dust.

"Chief" Lu Yuan recognized the major and deputy commander of the 88th Division, who was his temporarily appointed quartermaster. "In addition to rifles, 72 light and heavy machine guns, 5 92 infantry guns, 3 armored vehicles, 12 trucks, a batch of medicines, countless ammunition, and 2 radio stations were captured. The Japanese officers killed 28 people, including the 33rd Wing Captain Noda Kengo and the 38th Wing Captain Sukegawa Shizuji, and more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers, and no Japanese prisoners were captured. The major quartermaster looked at his small notebook and reported to Lu Yuan, and when it came to the prisoner, the major looked at Lu Yuan with a little nervousness.

"Take away the machine guns, blow up the rifles and armored vehicles, hang the infantry guns on the trucks, take the wounded brothers and medicines, all the cars that can still be driven, let's drive away." Lu Yuan arranged to the quartermaster in a deep voice, and there was no mention of the prisoners in his words.

"Sir, except for some people in the city who are reluctant to leave have been placed in the safe zone, all the refugees have been transferred to the Shimonoseki Wharf, shall we also go?" The old cannon asked about the landing far. Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the battlefield in front of him, there were traces of fierce battles everywhere, craters, broken weapons, and the corpses of the enemy and our armies criss-crossed, "Pack up your things, let's go to Guanghuamen, and collect the routs along the way." ”

Lao Ran then ordered the removal of everything that could be burned to cremate the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers, and lit the raging flames with his own hands. "Raise the military flag" A bloodstained blue sky and white sun flag was held high on the car that hit the head, and many soldiers of the national army who were scattered nearby saw this blue sky and white sun flag, and those routs who rushed over when they heard the sound of explosions also saw this blue sky and white sun flag raised in the truck, and those stragglers who were hiding in the ruins and hiding everywhere drilled out of their hiding places one after another, gathered under this blood flag, and everyone had tears in their eyes.

The car roared, the convoy and the flow of people moved quickly, and the old cannon standing in the front car shouted at the top of his voice, "Brothers, let's go to Guanghuamen." More than half an hour later, Nakajima Imaigo, who arrived here, looked at the blood-colored military flag flying on the field with corpses floating all over the field in the binoculars. "Baga!" Nakajima, whose face was pale, scolded angrily, the Chinese soldiers in Nanjing were telling the enemy in this way that we were still fighting, and no amount of artillery fire would ever be able to destroy our determination!

"Baga!" Nakajima scolded again, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill these hateful Shina people!" "I just received the news that the 33rd Wing and the 38th Wing of the 16th Division were attacked by the Shina army and suffered heavy losses, including 28 officers below the commander of the 33rd Wing, Kengo Noda, and the commander of the 38th Wing, Sukegawa Shizuji.

This is not only a shame for the Imperial Army, but also a greatest shame for oneself. "The 16th Division has never suffered a disgrace. Nanjing is for us. It will be a terrible disaster that will never be forgotten......" This is the lament of Nakajima as he faces the city of Nanjing. Although the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties and lost more than half of its strength, they also turned it into a graveyard for Japanese troops. Here, the Chinese soldiers fought bloody and played with their dignity.
