"Be good, I said that there are quite a few of these little devils. After a long time, two Japanese squads came here together." When Tang Cheng read out the contents on the certificates, Liu Yangyang, who had a bloody face, couldn't help but think.
Shouted luck. If it weren't for the lack of ammunition supplies after the Japanese troops broke into the city, these temporarily gathered broken soldiers would not have been able to fight against them. I don't know whether I should say that it was the Japanese troops who were unlucky or that we were lucky.
Almost a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed, but Liu Yangyang's troops also suffered more than 0 casualties. If there hadn't been sporadic Japanese troops who rushed over after hearing the gunshots, maybe Liu Yangyang and the others would not have been able to stop this attack.
The Japanese army attacked. "Liu Company Commander, what should we do now?" The people of the 156th Division selected a veteran to ask Liu Yangyang what he meant. After a battle that lasted for a day, the people of the 156th Division had become very close to Liu Yangyang and the others.
They are familiar with each other. On the issue of whether to stay or leave, the people in the 156th Division want to hear Liu Yangyang's opinion.
"You know that I am a member of the 88th Division. Although there are only three people left in my second company, they are also the order of the 88th Division, right." Liu Yangyang carved a route on the ground with his bayonet, and then whispered
, "These Japanese troops are coming for Zhongshan Road at first glance. Why don't they go to other places? Because they know that Zhongshan Road leads directly to Yijiangmen. They are here to block the retreat of all the Japanese troops in the city and want to take us with them.
They are all blocked in Nanjing City. I guess there will be other Japanese troops coming here, so I want to stay here and wait for the 88th Division to withdraw from China Gate before talking about other things."
The troops who followed Liu Yangyang to exchange fire with the Japanese army here were originally gathered together temporarily. Now that the Japanese army has been killed, and seeing that it is almost dawn, the exhausted soldiers naturally have other ideas.
Just because Liu Yangyang and Tang Cheng didn't know the way, it didn't mean that the other defeated soldiers didn't know the way either. The men of the 156th Division even tied up two Nanjing people to act as their guides. As long as Liu Yangyang agreed, the next choice of these defeated soldiers would be
It's going to Yijiangmen.
Liu Yangyang's choice to stick to this place surprised most of the defeated troops. When Liu Yangyang gathered them to fight against the Japanese army, he promised to repel the Japanese soldiers and go to Jiangmen. Now it seems that they were attacked by Liu Yangyang.
They were deceived. "You can leave, but you have to leave the weapons and ammunition for us, and then take those brothers from the Sichuan Army across the river. This is what I promised them." The defeated soldiers left whoever left, but
Liu Yangyang still stood up and persuaded them to leave their weapons and ammunition.
"Why should we keep the guns and bullets? I heard that a rifle on the other side of the river can be sold for more than ten yuan. I also have three hand grenades. Carrying these across the river would cost the price of a scalper." 156th Division
The people in the army didn't say anything yet, but the people in other troops started shouting a little bit, but Liu Yangyang didn't pay any attention to their shouting.
"Are you all fucking stupid for dreaming?" Liu Yangyang opened his eyes and cursed, "There are only a few boats on the river. Do you really think that you can carry guns and bullets when you cross the river?
, It’s good if I can keep you alive. Why are you thinking about crossing the river and exchanging guns for scalpers? You can’t think of it.” Liu Yangyang’s words made the unyielding soldiers shut up.
There were more than tens of thousands of troops. As Liu Yangyang said, if the soldiers crossing the river were all carrying weapons and bullets, then the ferry would indeed not be able to carry many people. In this case, maybe it would be better to cross the river empty-handed.
Liu Yangyang, who was worried, squinted at the defeated soldiers who were about to leave. What he said just now was all to deceive these guys. If they really didn't want to leave their weapons and ammunition, Liu Yangyang, who was single and weak, couldn't say it.
What. After some calculations, most of the defeated soldiers chose to follow the 156th Division to Yijiangmen to prepare to cross the river. Only those few Sichuan Army people refused to leave at all. They just wanted to follow Liu Yangyang to kill more Japanese troops here.
Avenge those who died in battle.
"Let's go, let's all go. After crossing the river, go back to Sichuan and live a good life. It's not easy for you Sichuan Army people. Think about your families, so let's go." Liu Yangyang stuffed the last few ocean dollars and banknotes in his pocket.
To those Sichuan Army men, he drove them into the crowd of the 156th Division with glares. The Sichuan Army had not been favored by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek since they came out of Sichuan to fight against the Japanese. They had neither ammunition supplies nor material supplies.
Therefore, the Sichuan Army has always been participating in the war like beggars. Liu Yangyang really asked these Sichuan Army people to leave, because the 88th Division also did not want to see the Sichuan Army people.
A Czech light machine gun plus 2 boxes of bullets, two Japanese light machine guns plus 500 rounds of bullets, a Japanese 50mm grenade plus 12 Japanese grenades. This is all the heavy weapons Liu Yangyang and the others have counted.*
*When the defeated troops left, they left 15 intact Mauser rifles, 300 rounds of ammunition, and wooden-handled grenades for Liu Yangyang. These were all the weapons and equipment Liu Yangyang and the others had. Of course, this did not include Tang Chuan.
and the flower machine gun in Jiujin’s hand.
"Okay, it's quiet now. Only the three of us are left." The battlefield that had been fought fiercely for a day and night was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. Of course, there were many corpses, but the only living person was Liu Yangyang.
The three of them. After taking a short rest, Tang Cheng and Jiujin pushed a rickshaw filled with weapons and ammunition, followed by Liu Yangyang, who had not yet woken up from fatigue, and arrived at their new position a few minutes later. The new position is located at
Although the left wing of the previous battlefield was still some distance away from Zhongshan Road, Tang Cheng noticed that not only was it a wide field of view, but it was also about fifty meters to the right, which happened to be a two-and-a-half-story Xiaoyang building facing north and south.
The building can be used as a commanding height to observe the movement of Zhongshan Road.
Instead of helping Jiu Jin unload the weapons and ammunition, Tang Cheng, carrying the flower trap, went alone to the small western-style building he discovered.
It can be seen that the owner of this small western-style building full of rich European style is a person with good taste. On the land surrounded by wooden fences outside the western-style building, you can still see ornamental shrubs and flower beds, but they have now been destroyed by Japanese bombs and
It was damaged by shelling and even the door of the mansion was missing.
Cautiously, Tang Cheng walked around the main entrance with a gun and went upstairs from the stairs on the left. At first glance, there seemed to be no stairs leading to the top floor from the second floor. Tang Cheng looked back and forth on the second floor and finally found something behind a wooden door.
There was a spiral staircase. The creaking sound of military shoes on the wooden treads suddenly brought Tangcheng back to his childhood memories. At that time, Robert used wooden stairs in the church in Peking. The Tangcheng of his childhood
He liked to hear the squeaking sound of wooden stairs the most, but the young Tang Cheng did not know that only wooden stairs that had been in disrepair for a long time could make such squeaking sounds.
Fortunately, the wooden stairs in this foreign-style building were relatively strong. Apart from making noise, Tang Cheng didn't even notice the trembling sensation under his feet. After walking out of the small door at the end of the stairs, Tang Cheng came to an arc-shaped
There is a small terrace. The pointed roof of the main body of the western-style building is basically level with the ground of the terrace. The roof is covered with striped red-brown tiles. Standing on the terrace, you can see the Chinese city in the distance. You can just see the busy city.
Liu Yangyang and Jiujin, and of course the position where they fought for a day and a night.
As the saying goes, you can see far when you stand high. On this roof, which is more than ten meters above the ground, you can see farther ahead even if you lie down. The place where the smoke is still rising at the end of your sight is the position where Tangcheng and the others fought all day and night.
, but now there are only corpses and rubbles on the ground. Tang Cheng, squatting on the roof, felt that if he were the commander, he would definitely make use of the terrain here to make arrangements. As long as he arranged a machine gun and enough
The bullets made it difficult to protect the invading Japanese troops.
This European-style western-style building reminded Tang Cheng of the residence he and Robert lived in Shanghai. Unfortunately, those memories have become a memory. Robert has gone to heaven, and he has become a soldier holding a gun and fighting the Japanese army to death.
** Soldier. Once upon a time, Tang Cheng just wanted to live comfortably, but this has become a luxury hope now. Now Tang Cheng just wants to kill the Japanese to avenge Robert. Back at the new position, the sweaty Jiujin is following Liu Yangyang's request.
A street fort was built with sandbags scattered at the street entrance. The honest and honest Jiujin even listened to Liu Yangyang's arrangement and built a layer of protective fortifications with the corpses of Japanese soldiers outside the street fort.
Tang Cheng mentioned the small foreign-style building to Liu Yangyang. Unfortunately, Liu Yangyang decided to build a position here after looking around, because there were only three of them, Fairy A, and Liu Yangyang was the only one who could use a machine gun.
If Liu Yangyang and the Czech machine gun were placed on that foreign-style building, only Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin would be left here. Liu Yangyang has recognized Tang Cheng's combat effectiveness, but recognition does not mean that Tang Cheng has the ability to face it alone.
The Japanese army has the ability to attack, so the three of them must be together.
Tang Cheng squinted and sat in the street fort filling all the rifles and magazines with bullets. There were only three of them on the position. Once there was a firefight with the Japanese army, they would have no time to reload the bullets, so Liu Yangyang let him
Tang Cheng loaded all the weapons with bullets in advance. Looking at the white fish belly appearing on the horizon, Tang Cheng, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, looked at Liu Yangyang with a bitter face. He was like this crazy guy. If he hadn't insisted on
Stay here and wait for the 88th Division to retreat. Maybe you will have followed the 156th Division to the riverside and waited to board the ship.
Not only Tang Cheng was full of doubts about sticking to this place, but Liu Yangyang himself was actually very uneasy in his heart. There were only three of them left on the position. Once the Japanese army appeared, it would not be as simple as just a few people.
Yesterday's battle proved everything, so Liu Yangyang himself had no confidence in holding on to this place. The sun was getting higher, and listening to the sound of guns and cannons ringing out from all over the city, Liu Yangyang and the three of them nestled comfortably in the street fort, eating big meat.
After being prepared to face the enemy, they were enjoying what might be their last free time.
