After daybreak, Tang Cheng followed Liu Yangyang down the city wall. There were only three people left in the second company. It was a bit funny that the three people still had a company number, but Xie Chengrui did not have the right to cancel the second company number. Liu Yangang
Yesterday's performance allowed him to win another opportunity from Xie Chengrui to replenish troops for the Second Company in the dilemma. Although Tang Cheng didn't understand why Liu Yangyang was so keen on finding soldiers for himself, Tang Cheng had to accept Liu Yangyang's good intentions.
He became the sergeant squad leader of the second company, although he is still just an empty squad leader.
Xie Chengrui did not directly replenish the soldiers of the Second Company for Liu Yangyang, but asked Liu Yangyang to go to the aid station himself to persuade soldiers from other units to join the Second Company. The easiest way for veterans to avoid fighting is to pretend to be wounded soldiers and hide in hospitals and ambulance stations.
, Xie Chengrui needs Liu Yangyang to find all such soldiers and bring them to the Guanghuamen position to participate in the battle. The 38 rifle in Tangcheng has been thrown away, because Liu Yangyang said that holding Japanese weapons in the city will be regarded as Japanese soldiers by friendly forces
Come to fight, so after Tang Cheng regained his Mauser rifle and 50 rounds of ammunition, Tang Cheng became like a standard Japanese soldier again.
Liu Yangyang and Jiujin exchanged two Japanese light machine guns for a Czech light machine gun and 9 grenades from Xie Chengrui. Xie Chengrui could use the Japanese light machine gun to report his military exploits, but Liu Yangyang only wanted to get it for the Second Company.
The firepower was strong enough. He lowered his head and followed Liu Yangyang as he walked towards the city. A group of soldiers walked back with their heads lowered. Tangcheng suddenly caught sight of a group of soldiers walking towards him. He pulled Jiu Jin behind him and hurriedly
Flashing to the side, the exceptionally neat steps of these men showed that they were different from other soldiers, and the fancy submachine guns in these men's hands made Tang Cheng unable to take his eyes off them.
Although several of them had bandages on their arms, and their neat steps could not hide their fatigue and embarrassment, Tang Cheng had to admit that these guys were indeed very strong, and the murderous look in their eyes also made them and other soldiers...
There was a distinction. "Don't look, these guys are also in the teaching team, but they are elites. Those cowards named Xie can't compare to them." Seeing that Tang Cheng was still staring at the back of the soldiers,
Liu Yangyang showed his sourness without any concealment.
Walking through long alleys, passing through private houses, entering short alleys, bypassing churches, and climbing over ruins, their journey in Tangcheng was very difficult. The whole city was shaking amidst the fierce sound of gunfire, and the Japanese fighter planes worked tirelessly.
Roaring and circling overhead, one or several powerful bombs would be dropped from time to time. The Tangcheng group walked through the city of Nanjing like a maze, and it turned out that Liu Yangyang had a pretty good sense of direction.
Leaning against a wall and looking in the direction of Liu Yangyang's finger, Tang Cheng found that they had finally found their target. The rescue station that Xie Chengrui told Liu Yangyang was located in a bungalow, and there was a road in the yard of the bungalow.
The neat gravel road was originally supposed to be flanked by two small flowerbeds, but now there are only ruins and debris. A tank with a blue sky and white sun logo was suddenly parked at an intersection not far from the bungalow, seemingly parked casually.
, but the black muzzle guarded the street in front of the bungalow vigilantly.
There was no curiosity like Jiujin. Tang Cheng was only surprised and disappointed. It had only been just over a month since Tang Cheng was dragged alive by Liu Yangyang into the second company, but he had already encountered Japanese tanks several times. He knew
What does it mean to face Japanese tanks? Before seeing Japanese tanks, Tangcheng always thought that Japan had no tanks. That day at Guanghua Gate, I saw with my own eyes that Japanese tanks were destroyed by bombs dropped by Japanese planes before they could make any progress.
Being turned into scrap metal made Tang Cheng feel somewhat sad, but this was a war, and in a war something would be lost and some people would die.
Now the Japanese tanks that would appear in Tangcheng's sight made Tangcheng feel disappointed. The fighting at the city gate was in full swing. In order to resist the attack of Japanese tanks, the defenders had to use death squads again and again.
They fought head-on with the Japanese tanks, but the Japanese tanks parked here in a swaggering manner, accepting people's curiosity and wait-and-see. To use Liu Yangyang's meaning, this was probably called a fucking soldier commanded by a fucking officer.
The entire city is now full of collapsed houses and ruins. From the smoke pillars rising in the distance, it is not difficult to guess that the entire Nanjing has been bombarded by Japanese artillery fire. Perhaps these smoke pillars are also contributed by Japanese aircraft. Liu Yangang and the others did not enter
At this first aid station, Tang Cheng, carrying a rifle, got into the house in front of the bungalow, which was half underground and half above ground. There was a lot of furniture and sundries stored in this house. Tang Cheng pulled out a piece of furniture from the house.
The old sofa is placed in the yard, and then the whole body is laid flat on the old sofa.
Tang Cheng, who was lying on the old sofa, turned his head to the sky and let out a long breath. Sitting on the sofa reminded him of the church in Shanghai. There was such a sofa in Robert's room. Tang Cheng often ran there when it rained.
Robert was lying on the sofa in his room and taking a nap. That feeling made Tang Cheng feel very at ease. He only lay on the sofa with his eyes closed for less than a minute. When he opened his eyes, Tang Cheng jumped off the sofa. This was not Robert.
On that sofa, Tangcheng could no longer find that solid feeling.
Stepping on the collapsed wall, Tang Cheng climbed up to the three-story building on the left side of the bungalow, which had a corner collapsed. Tang Cheng, who successfully climbed to the top of the building, used the telescope he got from Liu Yangyang to look at the places within sight.
The city was filled with smoke, and several houses that had been hit by Japanese artillery fire were burning. It seemed that the sound of gunfire and explosions could be heard from all directions. Tangcheng could even see through the telescope that there were buildings in the distance.
The flashing fire of shell explosions and the plumes of smoke rising from the ground decorated Nanjing more like a city of hell.
Turning back to look in the direction of Guanghua Gate, Tang Cheng could not see the dilapidated city gate of Guanghua Gate with his telescope, probably because of the distance, but he saw two destroyed vehicles in a corner.
The armored vehicles were smoking, and there were several corpses of Japanese soldiers lying or lying around the armored vehicles. Could these be the motorized infantry who were dedicated to guarding the armored vehicles? The term motorized infantry came from Liu Yangyang. Tangcheng volunteered to serve as a death squad to go out of the city to bomb.
When the Japanese tanks arrived, Liu Yangyang, who was inspecting the equipment for him, reminded him to pay attention to the motorized infantry guarding the Japanese tanks.
Passing by the two armored vehicles that were still smoking, Tangcheng turned his attention to the places where Japanese soldiers were present. There were traces of Japanese soldiers in many places in the city. It seemed that they were preparing to set up security in the city.
position so that if the Japanese army really invaded the city, they could engage in street battles with the Japanese army. His eyes swept over every area he could see. After putting away his telescope, Tang Cheng went downstairs and lay down on the old sofa, preparing to squint for a while.
There are so many things happening these days that Tang Cheng's poor head can't bear it. Without Liu Yangyang's preaching by his side, and Jiujin's nagging, Tang Cheng wants to have some quiet time by himself. Even if he shuts up
While looking at it, Tang Cheng didn't dare to be careless at all. He put his right hand on the shell gun and paid close attention to the surrounding noises with his ears. Liu Yangyang and Jiu Jin hadn't come out of the rescue station yet, but Tang Cheng in the yard heard it.
There was a particularly fierce sound of gunfire, but soon the fierce sound of gunfire moved to the east of the city, and there were also explosions in the southern periphery of the city. The more this happened, the more uneasy Tangcheng felt. Could it be that the Japanese army really destroyed the city of Nanjing?
Surrounded?
Some people on the Guanghuamen position have long said that the Japanese army has besieged the city, but Tangcheng has never believed it. The positions at Yuhuatai and Mufu Mountain outside the city are still fighting. If the Japanese army wants to surround the entire Nanjing city, they can only rely on their current situation.
The military strength was obviously not enough. But now Tang Cheng believed it. He really believed that the Japanese army was laying siege to the city. Tang Cheng's heart was no longer surprised, but almost despairing. Once the Japanese army completed the siege of Nanjing, they and others would be
The Japanese troops were trapped here.
There was a sudden noise in the yard. Tang Cheng subconsciously raised the shell gun in his right hand and aimed it in the direction of the sound. The people who appeared in Tang Cheng's sight were Liu Yangyang and Jiu Jin. Behind them were a dozen people carrying weapons on their backs.
The ** soldier with the rifle. "Tang Cheng, come here and meet the brothers who have newly joined our second company." Liu Yangyang's loud voice made Tang Cheng frown, but he still put the shell gun back into the holster on his waist.
He walked over carrying his rifle.
"This is Tang Cheng, the squad leader of our second company." Liu Yangyang seemed to be very proud as he introduced Tang Cheng to the dozen or so people behind him. "You may not think that squad leader Tang is very old, but he followed us from Shanghai.
Fighting all the way to Nanjing, not only did he spot a dozen Japanese spies at Zhonghua Gate, but he also personally blew up a Japanese tank. This kid was just a student kid more than a month ago, but now he is a serious person.
Sergeant squad leader, maybe if he fights a few more battles with the kid, you should call him second lieutenant and platoon leader."
Liu Yangyang spared no effort in praising Tang Cheng and felt embarrassed for no reason. The exchange of fire with the Japanese army after coming out of Shanghai was all a coincidence, not to mention that it was not his fault alone that he saw through the Japanese spies at Zhonghuamen. Liu Yangyang showed off like this.
This made Tangcheng a little unbearable.
"Okay, everyone knows each other, let's go to the next rescue station. I'm planning to recruit 130 people today." Liu Yangyang's plan to recruit 130 people shocked Tangcheng. It seems that Liu Yangyang's plan to recruit 130 people shocked Tangcheng.
Yang Yang was determined to restore the Second Company. Tang Cheng, who was feeling sad, was obviously a good boy. He followed Liu Yang without saying a word. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers Liu Yang had fooled out of the rescue station also did not speak.
They followed him confused. As for Tang Cheng, they all thought he was a ruthless character. At least Tang Cheng was carrying two shell guns.
