"Do you still remember the group of Japanese scouts we caught at Zhonghua Gate? Could it be that these guys were also sent by the Japanese army to cause trouble in the city?" Liu Yangang and Tang Cheng were the only two old men left in the second company. Zhonghua
Only the two of them knew that the Japanese spies were caught during the night inspection. Tang Cheng didn't pay attention to Liu Yangyang's words, but rummaged through the traps one by one for useful things. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain.
, these guys have nothing else except weapons and ammunition.
That's why Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng were more certain that these were spies sent by the Japanese army into the city. Perhaps the city of Nanjing was already filled with Japanese infiltration troops at this moment. "Let's go, we must leave here quickly, and wait for the Japanese army to enter the city in large numbers."
None of us can survive." Throwing a flower trap and two magazines to Jiu Jin, Liu Yangyang also grabbed a flower trap and several magazines, and the remaining three flower traps were also taken by Liu Yang.
The goats were given to a few of his men who were more pleasing to the eye.
Rushing all the way through long alleys, passing through houses, and passing through ruins, Liu Yangyang led Tangcheng and the others straight to Yijiangmen. The entire city of Nanjing was trembling with fierce gunfire, and Japanese fighter planes roared tirelessly above everyone's heads.
Circling, dropping powerful bombs from time to time. Tang Cheng and his group, who did not know the way, were like walking through a maze, but the results proved that Liu Yangyang had a pretty good sense of direction. At least they never encountered Japanese infiltration troops along the way.
attack.
They didn't encounter any Japanese infiltration troops, but they encountered a lot of gangsters. Almost all the gangsters Liu Yangyang and the others encountered were unorganized, and they had only one direction, which was Yijiangmen. And these gangsters were extremely embarrassed.
*Compared with the defeated soldiers, Erlin, who was armed with live ammunition, looked much different. Compared with the defeated soldiers who even threw away their guns, Tang Cheng, who was straddling two shell guns and holding a flower trap in his hand, looked more like a real warrior.
.
Just because they didn't meet the Japanese infiltration troops didn't mean that those guys who were eager to escape wouldn't be attacked. When they crossed a street intersection, the sound of gunshots suddenly broke the silence. "Pop!" A second lieutenant officer had a bloody arrow on his head.
He fell in the middle of the street, and the soldiers who were following him immediately dispersed. A group of people from the Second Company followed Liu Yangyang's gesture and hid in the corner of the street. "Pa" was another gunshot, and a lucky man took the lead.
He followed in the footsteps of the captain, but none of this could kill him. The bird who had been shot in the thigh was lying in the middle of the street, screaming loudly.
"Third brother, lie down and don't move. Don't move." The defeated soldiers who were familiar with the leader shouted loudly. Someone was already firing at a store opposite, but they just guessed that the gunman was hiding there.
The roof of a shop was on the roof of a shop, so the bullets fired were basically inaccurate. "Pop!" A defeated soldier who wanted to drag the third child back fell down in the middle of the street. The bullet fired by the other party penetrated his neck and little finger from top to bottom.
Thick blood arrows flowed out from the wound, and soon a blood puddle formed under the defeated soldier.
Several soldiers were killed in succession at the street entrance. Liu Yangyang simply stopped squatting here with these guys and thought about it. Instead, he winked and led Tang Cheng and the others back a little, preparing to take another route.
Going to Yijiangmen. Tang Cheng secretly remembered the route he had taken, and then he discovered that the route Liu Yangyang took was a square detour. It seemed that Liu Yangyang was helpless against the gunman hiding at the street corner. He was
I planned to walk a little longer to get around the hidden gunman.
After passing two intersections in a row, Liu Yangyang didn't make a sound. He just walked forward with a cold face. However, when he reached the third intersection, Liu Yangyang suddenly stopped. His eyes swept across the intersection.
He put away his gun and stood against the corner with his eyes closed, "I'll go there first in a moment. If there's no gunshot, hurry up and follow me." As soon as Liu Yangyang finished speaking, he was already rushing to the opposite street corner with his gun in hand. Tang
Cheng only had time to stretch out his hand, but failed to catch Liu Yangyang who was about to take the risk.
"Cover" imitated Liu Yangyang's usual behavior, Tang Cheng shouted softly, and the two bosses holding flower machines squatted down against the corner, their guns pointed at the street opposite. Tang Cheng did not dare to have any
He was not careless at all, but paid close attention to the surrounding noises and Liu Yangyang's movements. Fortunately, Liu Yangyang was lucky. During the whole process of him rushing to the corner across the street, the gunshots that Tang Cheng was worried about did not appear.
"Come on, let's go there." Tang Cheng bypassed the two guys holding flower traps and ran towards Liu Yangyang's direction.
After walking a few blocks further, large and small barricades and bunkers began to appear in sight. I had seen too many such temporary fortifications along the way. Tang Cheng was no longer surprised, but almost despairing.
Lost. The City Defense Command, which was preparing to defend Nanjing, ordered the construction of a large number of barricades in urban Nanjing and transformed many buildings and ruins into defense points. They planned to rely on the urban barricades after the Japanese army broke through the city.
Buildings and ruins and the Japanese army continued to fight in the streets. But now, behind these barricades in Tangcheng's sight, the Japanese troops who were supposed to stick here have disappeared, and the barricades have become ridiculous decorations.
"Go, keep walking, don't stop." Liu Yangyang saw that Tang Cheng's footsteps were slow, and then he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull Tang Cheng forward. Soon, the fierce sound of gunfire began to attack Nanjing.
The city moved to the east, and there were explosions in the south periphery of the city. The more so, the more uneasy Tangcheng felt. Could it be that the anti-Japanese troops in Nanjing would soon turn into turtles in the urn, or were the defenders really planning to abandon Nanjing?
Already.
"There's someone in the alley," a soldier beside Liu Yangyang shouted, pointing to a small alley beside them. Suddenly, he glanced at a few figures shaking in the ruins of the back alley. Tang Cheng, who turned around in response, immediately walked into the street.
Next, he raised the flower machine gun in his hand and pointed it at the alley. The city of Nanjing was now full of anti-Japanese soldiers and panicked Nanjing people. Liu Yangyang did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
He carefully looked around with the gun in his hand until he was sure that there were no other potential dangers nearby, then he lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly and climbed down gently.
Erlian was currently on the path that those people in the alley must pass. When all those people in the alley walked out, Liu Yangyang jumped out with a flower trap and told those people not to leave.
They were rioting. Probably because they met people who were also wearing Japanese military uniforms, these Japanese soldiers froze at the entrance of the alley. Liu Yangyang pointed his gun at them, and then asked sharply,
"What section are you in? Who is the officer?"
The man who was being stared at by Liu Yangyang stood up and said, "Huang Zhengxin, the reconnaissance company of the 156th Division of the 83rd Army, our platoon leader has been killed in the battle. Now I will command them." Maybe it was because of the Japanese military uniforms worn by everyone in the second company.
Perhaps it was because Huang Zhengxin and the others were dressed as civilians at the moment that Huang Zhengxin did not dare to look up at Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng. The 156th Division? Tang Cheng had some doubts in his heart. The troops of the 156th Division were still helping to teach the Second Division at Guanghua Gate.
The regiment was holding its position, and these people who claimed to be the 156th Division appeared from nowhere.
"We 156 were ordered to support the two positions of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen. We are the troops to help defend Tongjimen." Xu Shi saw the confusion in Tang Cheng's eyes, and Huang Zhengxin quickly explained the origin of these people.12
On September 10, when the Japanese army saw that the Chinese defenders refused to surrender, they launched a full-scale attack on Yuhuatai, Tongji Gate, Guanghua Gate, the 3rd Peak of Purple Mountain and other positions. In particular, the peripheral positions in the southeast of Nanjing City were basically lost. The Japanese army directly attacked the city wall.
, so the situation was particularly severe. The Nanjing Garrison Headquarters urgently ordered the 156th Division of the 83rd Army to reinforce the defenses of Guanghuamen and Tongjimen city walls, and to build preparatory fortifications for street fighting at various key points in the city. Huang Zhengxin and others rushed to Tongjimen.
Jimen's assisting defense force.
After clearly identifying the opponent's identity, Liu Yangyang immediately lowered the muzzle of his gun, but his finger on the trigger did not relax. If the Japanese infiltration troops could pretend to be Chinese and enter Nanjing, there is no reason why they would not pretend to be the Japanese's defeated troops, so
Liu Yangyang was still secretly wary of Huang Zhengxin and his group. "Okay, then let's go our separate ways. We won't ask you where you are going. You will be asked by me too." Liu Yangyang took out half a pack of cigarettes and threw it to Huang Zhengxin.
Then he stepped aside to make way for the passage and signaled that Huang Zhengxin and the others should go first.
"Sir, with all due respect, it looks like you are going to Yijiangmen, right?" Huang Zhengxin suddenly stopped when passing Liu Yangyang. "You better not go to Yijiangmen. The people of the 36th Division have already secured the gate.
It was blocked. It was said that the garrison headquarters had an order not to allow anyone to leave the city. We just came back from Yijiang Gate. It was said that people from the 36th Division had piled sandbags and machine guns in the city gate."
Huang Zhengxin led his men, but the few soldiers dressed as civilians had disappeared on the street corner, but Liu Yangyang still stood there dumbly without saying a word. Yijiang Gate was sealed by the troops of the 36th Division. This kind reminder came from Huang Zhengxin
Liu Yangyang was completely stunned by the news. The news about Yijiangmen was obtained by Liu Yangyang using a Japanese army's southern pistol and a lieutenant's command knife from the mouths of the people of the 87th Division. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army had not yet
He marched into the city, and after leaving the Guanghua Gate battlefield, he led Tang Cheng and the others through the Yijiang Gate to cross the river to the other side, but now this sudden news made him fall into an ice cellar.
What to do now? Liu Yangyang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Tang Cheng and the others who were looking at him. Liu Yangyang tried to show a smile to Tang Cheng, but his face was too tight, and the smile he showed was even uglier than crying.
