Chapter 176: Encounter
"Chief Xia, give the order."
Someone said in a suppressed voice.
Those who are willing to follow Chief Xia all want to resist and don't want to retreat.
Xia Yuan grabbed the gun and said calmly: "Lao Qi, you take a platoon, lean over from the left, and the others, follow me." β
Stepping on the rubble, he said: "Listen to the gunshots, there are also heavy machine guns of the Japanese devils, if you can't get it to be an armored vehicle, if you encounter an armored car, don't resist, retreat to save your strength, and leave the rest to me." β
Lao Qi was the only old squad leader in the team, and he nodded calmly: "Okay, Chief Xia, take care." β
"Hmm."
The troops divided into two directions, one left and one right, and went around the place where the battle was fierce.
At this time.
Instructor Li led about a platoon of soldiers and engaged the Japanese in a fierce battle.
The Japanese called for reinforcements, and four or five armored vehicles, accompanied by the troops, crowded along the broken streets and urban areas to the supervision team with the participation of Instructor Li.
The armored car was on top of the front, and a heavy machine gun above it was constantly firing, and the rubble and fragments of the ruins of the houses that were hit were scattered everywhere, and some of the thinner walls could not stop the bullets of the heavy machine guns at all, and the walls were quickly shot through, and the supervision team hiding behind the wall to fight back suffered casualties.
Xu Dapeng led a few soldiers to the houses on the flank.
Condescendingly, the infantry behind the Japanese armored vehicles would be exposed to their guns, but the consequence of this was that once the Japanese were targeted, it would be very difficult to retreat.
Xu Dapeng didn't have any hesitation in his heart.
Set up the Czech, aim at the Japanese troops behind the armored car, and pull the trigger.
Several accompanying Nationalist soldiers pulled out grenades and threw them at the Japanese soldiers behind the armored car, accompanied by the sound of explosions, a string of bullets erupted from the muzzle flames, and several Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground by bullets.
A grenade thrown by a soldier of the training team did not explode when it landed among the Japanese soldiers, and white smoke continued to rise from its tail.
The Japanese devil was quick-eyed, grabbed the grenade on the ground and threw it back.
With a bang, the two officers and men of the national army who were hiding on the roof of the wing were overturned by grenades.
As the Japanese devils continued to go deeper, the casualties of the team became larger and larger, Xu Dapeng, in order to cover Instructor Li, regardless of his own safety, continued to strafe bullets at the Japanese army in one place, in an attempt to suppress the Japanese attack.
On the battlefield, once the machine gunner is targeted, it is almost a life and death.
The Japanese armored vehicles continued to advance, and the devil infantry aimed their guns at the houses on both wings, the bullets intertwined, and the tiles on the edge of the houses were constantly blown away by the kinetic energy carried by the bullets, and with a loud bang, the gunfire fell silent.
A demoman with a cluster grenade walks along the ruins of the house, approaching the armoured vehicle of the Japs.
He rushed to the roof of the building, stood on the edge of the house, and stuck his head out to observe an armored vehicle at the front of the Japanese army, with a look of determination to die.
Take a deep breath, step on the edge of the house, and jump from the top of a building several meters high.
"Shina !!"
The Japanese devil spotted the sound of a popping jumping down from a height.
A squad of Japanese soldiers fired rapidly, and in mid-air, the bullet pierced the Demoman's body, and he clung to the cluster grenade, and his body fell the flank of the armored vehicle, lying on the ground covered in blood, and the exclamation of the Japanese devil came from his buzzing ears.
"Dog-day Japs."
The Demoman pulls a grenade on his body.
With an explosion.
The tracks of the armored car could not move.
Before he had time to rejoice, from behind the scrapped Japanese armored car, an armored car rushed out again and rushed in the direction of Instructor Li.
The bullets fired by the soldiers were all resisted by the Japanese armored vehicles, and the infantry of the Japanese devils, hiding behind the armored vehicles, slowly advanced forward. The machine-gun firing holes above the armored car constantly sprayed long chains of fire, which fell on the ruins of the houses.
"And the Demoman!"
Instructor Li realized that if the armored vehicles of the Japanese devils were not blown up, they would die.
He put away his gun and shouted loudly.
The crackling bullets quickly consumed them.
"Yes."
Shouts were heard from the ruins.
"Assemble them all!" Instructor Li shrunk by the bullets of the Japanese devils, and when the machine gun of the armored vehicle of the Japanese devils moved, he quickly rushed out and looked at the remaining soldiers, "Load the grenades, others cover the sound of explosions, you can't fail, you can only succeed." β
"Instructor, we'll use him as a meat shield." A soldier said.
"What kind of meat shield, what are you talking about." Instructor Li's face changed.
"The devil is coming, we can't hide here, if the demoman is sacrificed, we will all die, instructor, let's go up."
"yes."
While they were arguing, all of a sudden, the bullets fired by the Japanese devils were much less.
"Instructor, someone!"
Instructor Li carried a rifle with a sniper scope, ran to the broken shot, held a steel helmet, and ordered with a pair of eyes.
But seeing the Japanese devil in front of him, he turned his gun and fired in the left direction.
He looked in the direction of the guns of the Japanese devils, and out of nowhere, a team appeared and was shooting at the Japanese soldiers in the ruins.
Their combat effectiveness is really strong, and explosions continue to break out in the ranks of the Japanese devils, and from the point of view of the degree of explosion, they are not at all like mortars, and the explosions of mortars are much larger than this, but these explosions fall in the ranks of the Japanese devils.
He wanted to find the source of the explosion,
Finally, he saw it.
A grenade floated in the distance and landed behind the armored car of the Japanese devils, with a bang.
It was not yet a landing explosion, but a violent explosion above the armored car of the Japanese devils.
Instructor Li was completely confused, what kind of throwing ability does this have to be to achieve such a result.
Such an explosion alone suppressed the infantry of the Japanese devils and immobilized.
"Quick, go help!" Instructor Li immediately reacted and said to the soldiers beside him.
"Yes!"
Several soldiers grabbed grenades from the ground, stuffed them into their arms, and got out of the houses, looking for the ruins to get close to the armored vehicles of the Japanese devils.
The troops that appeared on the flanks attracted the attention of the armored vehicles of the Japanese devils, buying time for their Demomen.
Under the cover of several infantrymen, the demoman approached the armored car of the Japanese devils, and because the combat effectiveness of the troops that suddenly appeared on the flank was too strong, the Japanese infantry suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese armored vehicle fire suppressed the flank throughout the whole process, so the suppression of Instructor Li was lost.
Secondly, the periscope of the armored vehicle of the Japanese devils has a small field of vision, and they don't know that the infantry following behind the ass has been wiped out by the bursts of air explosions.
It also thought that the infantry would be able to keep an eye on the enemy in front of it, giving it time to suppress the enemy on the flanks.
Unbeknownst to him, the Nationalist demomen on the flanks had approached the armored vehicles of the Japanese devils.
With an explosion, the armored car of the Japanese devils was completely scrapped, and even the Japanese devils inside were shattered by this huge explosion, and they passed out, afraid that they would never wake up again.
As the armored car was blown up, the national troops on the flank rushed out, and Instructor Li glanced at it, and there was about a platoon of troops.
"Up!" Seeing this, Instructor Li gave an order to the soldiers beside him and rushed out of the bunker with a gun.
After stepping on the rubble and running a few steps, I heard bursts of gunfire from behind the Japanese devils, accompanied by the screams of the Japanese devils.
Instructor Li showed surprise on his face: "There is more." β
Fighting in front and cutting in the back, it seems that the commander of this team wants to eat this group of Japanese devils.
He guessed correctly, Xia Yuan thought so.
A squad of Japanese devils, no more than fifty or sixty people, with a few armored vehicles, blocked their butts and cut off their tails, this group of Japanese devils will definitely not be able to escape.
The most critical point is that he has eliminated a large number of Japanese devils' infantry, armored vehicles without infantry cover, just like a pile of scrap metal, the Japanese devil soldiers hiding in armored vehicles can only observe the outside world through periscopes, but when there are people in all directions, they will be overwhelmed.
Sneaking up on the back of the armored car butt of the Japanese devils is the right way.
So, when Xia Yuan led the soldiers to attack, there were demomen who walked through the ruins on both sides of the street and approached the armored vehicles of the Japanese devils with cluster grenades.
It is not necessary to blow it up completely, it is enough to destroy the tracks and machine guns on the armored vehicle.
An armored vehicle without infantry is hardly much different from a pile of broken copper.
The battle lasted more than ten minutes and ended very smoothly.
Considering that the battle would attract other Japanese troops, they didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield and quickly evacuated the place with their people.
When the reinforcements of the Japanese devils arrived, they found that a squad of soldiers had been eliminated, and several armored vehicles had been blown up, and their faces were crooked, but it also intensified the hatred of the Japanese devils for the ordinary people, and they wanted to kill more Jinling people to vent their anger.
"Teaching the corps Li Chengwei." Instructor Li clenched his fists: "Thank you for saving us, otherwise, we will become the ghosts of the Japanese devils." β
"It turned out to be Instructor Li." Xia Yuan's eyes were clear, and he suddenly remembered a movie about Jinling.
is called the Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling, but he didn't expect that after the defense of Jinling, the Japanese army broke through the city wall and would encounter Instructor Li.
"Camp Commander Xia, are you in Jinling, can you encounter other resisting troops?"
They hid in a ruin, surrounded by soldiers watching.
Instructor Li breathed a rare sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and asked.
"No, they all ran away, and some didn't even want guns." Xia Yuan leaned against the broken wall, spit out a circle of smoke, and asked him, "Instructor Li, are you preparing to retreat?" β
"Well, retreat from Rujiangmen." Instructor Li said.
"It is estimated that there will be no retreat, the Japanese devils have blocked the riverside, and the 100,000-strong army is afraid that they will become the ghosts of these Japanese devils." Xia Yuan thought back to this history, and felt a faint pain in his heart, but he was helpless.
"Where's the ship!?" Instructor Li was stunned for a moment, obviously unaware of what was happening by the river.
"Before Shangfeng issued the retreat order, he had asked the defenders who were holding the Rujiang Gate not to let go of any troops, but after the order to retreat was issued, this order was not withdrawn, and the people were crowded to the Rujiang Gate, but they never dreamed that even if they passed through the Rujiang Gate, where would there be a boat for them to cross the river."
Xia Yuan counted the time, "It is estimated that the warship of the Japanese devils has sailed to the river at this time." β
Instructor Li smoked quietly, his brows furrowed, and he was silent for a while before asking, "What are you going to do?" β
Xia Yuan grabbed the gun in his hand: "What else can I do, resist, I can't run away, I can't surrender." β
A soldier suddenly interjected: "I heard that the Japanese devils treat prisoners preferentially and will send them out of the city, sir, is this true or false." β
"Do you believe the words of the Japanese devils? How many of them have we killed, these Japanese devils will kill people when they go into the city, and rape women when they see them, they have lost their humanity. Xia Yuan sneered, "I asked you to surrender, to trick you into surrendering, and then take you out of the city and kill you!?" β
"Otherwise, do you really think that if we kill so many Japanese devils, they will kindly arrange for us to send us out of the city?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
What Xia Yuan said is very reasonable, when the Japanese devils entered the city, they did not even let go of the unarmed civilians, how could they let go of the Chinese soldiers who had shot them with guns.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" A soldier asked nervously.
These people used to expect the Japanese devils to be able to speak, but now that they think about it carefully, it is obviously unlikely.
The commander said very reasonably, the Japanese devils will never let them go, and the reason why they say this is to lure them to surrender.
"Hit, the Japanese devils want to let us put down our guns in this way, so how can we easily put down the weapons in our hands as they wish." Xia Yuan's expression was inexplicable: "The weapon is here, you still have a chance to speak, if you lose the weapon, you don't even have a chance to speak." β
Instructor Li pondered: "What Chief Xia said is reasonable, but the Japanese army has all entered the city, and we don't have much room for maneuver. β
"There is not much room for maneuver, and you have to maneuver, and you can't hold a trace of almost impossible illusions and put your life in the hands of Japanese devils." Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "The Japanese army has already defended Jinling, and it is almost impossible to break through. β
After a pause, he said: "There are 500,000 people in Jinling City, how many people will the Japanese devils kill, we are the last trace of resistance in Jinling City, if even we don't exist, these ordinary people will suffer." β
500,000 people.
Hearing this number, everyone's hearts tremble.
Before that, they guarded Jinling, and they did not think that the Japanese devils would attack the unarmed citizens when they broke through Jinling City.
However, they still think the truth is too naΓ―ve.
After the Japanese devils broke through Jinling City, the unarmed citizens of Jinling City also killed them, and in just two days, the citizens of the outer areas of Jinling City were massacred by the Japanese army, and the corpses accumulated on the streets.
The Japanese devils do not spare even the elderly and children.
The pregnant woman even cruelly cut open her belly and used a bayonet to pick out the baby in her belly.
And they are the last resistance force in Jinling.
If even they surrendered, Jinling would be completely reduced to a hunting ground for the Japanese army.
