Chapter 4: Breakthrough (8)

Perhaps the resistance encountered in front of the front was too fierce, so when Nanjing City opened its arms to the Japanese army, these ghost soldiers who were once extremely arrogant and now a little frightened hesitated.

Many of the middle and lower-ranking officers of the Japanese army have received professional training in military academies. It is precisely with professional knowledge as a reference, when Hirano Yunqing Shaozuo led more than 300 men to occupy the ruins, he did not rush to the city recklessly, but relied on the ruins to establish a defensive position, waiting for the large army behind to come up.

Just about three hundred meters away from the ruins, behind the same ruins, Wang Xiaosan showed his head, quickly glanced at the Japanese position, and then shrank back. Zhang Tai, who was shrinking next to him, immediately asked, "How is it?" Does the little devil mean to attack? ”

Wang Xiaosan shook his head: "These devils are really weird, it took a lot of effort to finally enter the city, and they didn't move anymore, don't they have any conspiracy, right?" ”

Zhang Tai said: "Whatever, let's just keep an eye on it, and leave other matters to the commanders." Little San, I saw the commander just now. ”

"I saw it too," Wang Xiaosan laughed, as if he could pick up the money bag when he saw Ouyang Yun.

"Our commander is really young, he seems to be younger than me." Zhang Tai said with a little emotion, and before he finished speaking, a steel helmet poked out of a hole next to him.

It had been almost a quarter of an hour since the end of the Japanese bombing, and according to the prediction of the commander and the division, the Japanese army would definitely launch a stormy offensive next, but now, the Japanese army had stopped its actions and adopted a steady and steady approach, which made Gu Yi feel a little uneasy.

"The little devil hasn't acted yet?"

"Company commander!? The devils who came up first are building a position—and now another group of devils have come up. Hearing the company commander's question, Wang Xiaosan looked at it again and said.

Zhang Tai asked, "Company commander, are we considered an ambush?" ”

Gu Yiyi's eyes narrowed, and said, "What kind of ambush is this, at most it's a sniper." Xiaoqiu, you guys hurry up. ”

Immediately following Gu Yiyi, there were several people from the company, including the correspondent Qiuping. With the help of two fighters, Qiuping carried a walkie-talkie out of the bomb shelter, and then began wiring and debugging.

The Japanese army attacked several outlying points of Nanjing, and the number of troops invested in Guanghuamen was the greatest. After Ouyang Yun led his troops to take over the defense of Nanjing, on the basis of the original city defense fortifications, he built some fortifications and traps with the characteristics of the army of scholars. Although the long-term artillery bombardment and bombardment of the Japanese army caused a lot of damage to these fortifications and traps, at the same time, it also provided more materials for the defenders to strengthen the fortifications. In other words, although it was a pity that the Third Division gave up the original ruin position, after retreating to the second line, the fortifications on which it relied were not inferior to the ruin fortifications, and because of the previous arrangement, it was able to seize the opportunity and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.

On the roof of the nightclub about two thousand meters away from Gu Yiyi, Ouyang Yunzheng was personally supervising, and dozens of engineers were busy nervously. Yelaixiang Nightclub is one of the few cement buildings in Nanjing, after experiencing the invasion of artillery fire, it did not collapse, and in the direction of Guanghua Gate, because there is no building block, so Ouyang Yun chose this place as a rocket launch site. Under their hands, some discarded barrels have begun to take on the shape of rockets after tedious processing. The rocket artillery of the Xuebing Army had been developed as early as two months ago, but considering its extraordinary destructive power, Ouyang Yun did not dare to bring it out. The Cadet Research and Development Institute has also completed theoretical research and created samples of the authentic single rocket developed on the basis of rockets, but the effect is not ideal. When he was still in Renqiu, Ouyang Yun often went down to the front-line workshop and R&D institute to tinker with these strange weapons with the military industry, and now he is back in his old business, wielding wrenches and screwdrivers, and he is still familiar with it.

He Zhengzhen led a group of personnel from the Third Division to fight on the side, watching more than a dozen long cylinders being erected in the window, and hearing Ouyang Yun say that these dozen rockets could at least achieve the effect equivalent to four attack planes, not only expressed deep suspicion. Each of the dozen bazookas contained at least thirty processed grenades, as well as several blasting canisters. The battle has been fought so far, and there is not much ammunition left, but at this time, he is spending time on this kind of strange thing, even if He Zhengluo is not good at saying anything, he has a lot of prejudice in his heart.

Is the commander fooling around this time?

The idea of making rudimentary rockets out of discarded barrels and other barrels is a whimsy that only travelers have. The ammunition part is very neat, but the propulsion part is difficult - there is no engine, and there is no refined fuel, and God knows if the use of gasoline and gunpowder can really throw these rockets weighing hundreds of pounds out of the air.

Ouyang Yun has personally presided over this work since the early hours of this morning, although he has always been full of confidence, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the thirteen rockets were finally assembled, and they were lying on the top floor of the nightclub, and behind their butts were the cement blocks that the soldiers had worked so hard to carry to strengthen the reaction force of the tail flame jet. And the Japanese troops assembled on the ruined positions had already reached a brigade. After a tentative attack, Hirano Shaozo finally led the team to rush out of the position and advanced to the depths of Nanjing City with some excitement.

The task of the Hirano Division was very simple, to clear the remaining enemies near the Gwanghwa Gate, clear the safe area for the entry of the large army, and then cut off the road between the Gwanghwa Gate and the other city gates, and prepare for the large army to encircle the defenders of the other gates.

More than 1,000 devils were divided into six formations, cautiously marching towards the city, and before they advanced about 50 meters, they would set up machine guns and grenadiers, and the mortar squads behind were also on standby, ready to strike hard at the enemy who appeared.

With such a rigorous arrangement, there shouldn't be a problem, right? Hirano thought so, not knowing what the road was about, but he had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain it, as if the ruins of the buildings around him were some dormant beasts—they were staring at them coldly with red eyes.

There were indeed several pairs of eyes staring at them, and someone was reporting their position via walkie-talkie: one hundred and fifty meters from the first trench...... Fifty meters, only a hundred meters from our line of defense.

Almost at the same time, Ouyang Yun, who was holding the words in his ear, gave the order to ignite the fire.

A dozen fighters lying next to the rocket quickly lit the long fuse under the rocket with matches, and then ran down quickly.

Ouyang Yun nervously stared at the "snort" and rapidly burning leads, and shouted: "Get down all of them, pay attention to concealment." Then he lay down and pressed his helmet down, leaving only two eyes staring at the leads.

When the lead burned into the bottom of the rocket, the sound of "whew" sounded, and white smoke was sprayed from under more than a dozen rockets at the same time, and then several loud "booms", seven of which suddenly erupted from the bottom of flames, and the next moment, these seven rockets were pushed into the sky by a huge thrust and flew towards the Japanese ranks.

The strange noise on the roof of the nightclub alarmed the Japanese troops who were searching for the advance, and with a wave of his right hand, all the devils in the squadron he led stopped at once, and then they saw seven black things flying towards them with flames.

"What's that?" "Bage, what is this?" "Bomb!" "Bomb!" …… The little devils discussed in surprise, and their faces instantly lost their blood. However, they did not dare to act casually without the orders of the officers.

With a loud "boom", a huge fireball suddenly rose on the top floor of the nightclub, but a rocket that failed to take off exploded violently.

This explosion came so suddenly, not only scared the Japanese army, but also scared Ouyang Yun and them a lot, because just after this rocket exploded, dozens of grenades were thrown out, and several of them were falling towards the small building where Ouyang Yun and they were hiding.

"Fuck, it's on fire!" Ouyang Yun thought like this in his heart, and without waiting for Liu Kui and them to pull him, he yelled: "Stay and look, run!" Then he sprang behind him and rolled twice in a row into another rather complete room.

"Ahh Only then did many people react, and they were busy rolling and running in all directions.

In the "boom" explosion, the small building was blown up with thick smoke and rubble, and several people were injured, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Almost at the same time, the Japanese soldiers, captains, and soldiers finally reacted and shouted: "Hide! "Get down!" They swarm around looking for a place to hide, or simply lie down and stick their heads deep on the ground.

Ouyang Yun obviously overestimated his manufacturing capacity, and one of the seven rockets flew out of the ground for more than 500 meters before crashing, and then completely blew up the already dilapidated bungalow there; Another one flew more than a thousand meters and also fell, and it was a dud; In addition, one exploded in the middle of the flight, and the scattered grenades actually killed two soldiers of the Eighth Brigade who were lying in ambush, and injured more than a dozen. However, even if only four rockets hit the target as intended, and one turned out to be a dud, it would be enough.

In the eyes of the little devils, three of these strange shells exploded violently as soon as they landed, sending dozens of little devils directly into the sky on the spot. Then, the scattered grenades and blasting canisters continued to explode, bringing down all the devils standing within a radius of several hundred square meters, and detonating a number of Molotov cocktails and two barrels of gasoline buried in the first trench in distress.

In the sound of explosions one after another, many devils thought that they had run into a minefield, and now they fell into chaos, and they only scattered and fled for their lives. And immediately after, the first line of trenches that burned up split the devil brigade into two parts, which made the devils in front of the fire think that they had encountered an ambush, and they were even more panicked.
