Liu Yangyang often said that he was a lucky man. Tang Cheng always thought that this was a way for Liu Yangyang to change the subject, but now he had to say that Liu Yangyang was indeed a lucky guy. There were successive defeats and defeats.
Citizens who fled to Yijiangmen passed by here. Although Liu Yangyang failed to leave the broken soldiers to help hold on here, he got a lot of ammunition and food. Jiujin even started to use ammunition boxes to hold extra ammunition.
, Tangcheng also has four flower machine magazines filled with bullets.
"Look, we are not only doing it for ourselves, but also for them." Liu Yangyang looked at the Nanjing people passing by one after another. He didn't look very good. They had seen many such refugees with their families in Shanghai.
, on the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, they met countless refugees. They had been losing battles all the way and were unable to do anything for these refugees, because they themselves could not protect themselves. But now, Liu Yangyang felt confident.
, at least they are still here holding their position to intercept the Japanese army in order to control Jiangmen.
In the street fort, Tang Cheng looked dull and chewed the eggs and biscuits brought back by Liu Yangyang. China has a population of 450 million, and the Japanese army is just a small island country. Why can't Japan stop the Japanese attack?
If it is just a difference in weapons, last night they only relied on crude weapons to kill two Japanese squads in the ruins. Is it true that the Japanese cannot fight? But the Japanese troops encountered in Tangcheng
But they all fought to the death against the Japanese army, whether it was the mixed company at the street entrance or the second company that was defeated all the way.
Tang Cheng didn't really pay attention to how many Japanese soldiers the Second Company had shot and killed, but he knew that the number of Japanese soldiers killed by the Second Company would never be less than the number of soldiers they died in battle. If all the troops in the Second Company had the same number of soldiers as the Second Company,
The Japanese troops in China may have been repulsed and retreated to their island country long ago. Xu Yang saw the meaning in Tang Cheng's eyes. Liu Yangyang lit a cigarette and said in a low voice, "We last night
The battle was nothing more than an advantage. If the Japanese army didn't have insufficient ammunition, even if we came with hundreds of people, we wouldn't be able to attack them."
Seeing that Tang Cheng didn't believe his words, Liu Yangyang smiled and threw a cigarette, "How many battles have you fought? If you really experienced a few big scenes, you wouldn't think so. Fighting is not just about relying on
Bloody, we have to fight for weapons and equipment. Our artillery shells cannot hit as far as the Japs, nor as accurately or as hard as the Japs, then our people deserve to be beaten by the Japs with artillery fire." Liu Yangyang's words made Tang Yang sad.
Tang Cheng recalled the scene of being under Japanese artillery fire at Guanghua Gate. The overwhelming explosion made Tang Cheng still feel palpitated to this day.
"Not only the artillery fire, but also the number of our machine guns is not as good as the Japanese army. What does the intensity of firepower mean? I think you should also know what the chances of winning are using rifles and machine guns to attack?" Liu Yangyang reached out and patted the Czech machine gun in the barricade.
, with a touch of sadness in his tone. When the Second Company fought with the Japanese army in Shanghai, many people died under the gunfire of the Japanese army because of poor ammunition supply. If the Second Company had sufficient ammunition and weapons at that time,
Maybe there won't be only three people left in the second company like now.
"Little Japan still has planes and warships. If they hadn't relied on planes and warships when they were in Shanghai, they wouldn't have been able to kill twice as many little Japanese." Liu Yangyang's words were full of reluctance, but he could still do it.
However, the Japanese army was still defeated in the end, and was driven into Nanjing like a rabbit by the Japanese army. Now the city of Nanjing may not be saved. As a soldier, Liu Yangyang always felt unwilling and helpless.
Perhaps because he had said too much, Liu Yangyang suddenly fell silent, and then took out the unopened cigarette pack from his pocket. For any soldier, cigarettes are good things. Liu Yangyang stretched out his right hand and put the cigarette pack in
He tore a hole directly above, shook it skillfully, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then threw the remaining pack of cigarettes to Tang Cheng, and motioned to Tang Cheng to keep the cigarette for smoking. First,
Sulfur, then tobacco, matches and cigarettes were lit one after another, leaving two very light smells in Tangcheng's mouth. They were much softer than the acrid smoke produced after the explosion of the shell.
Seeing that Tang Cheng had already lit a cigarette, Liu Yangyang lit the cigarette and extinguished the unfinished matches. He took two puffs and asked, "If there is no more war, what do you want to do? Do you want to go back to that church in Shanghai?"
?" Tang Cheng, who was asked by Liu Yangyang, shook his head silently. Of course he would go back to the church in Shanghai, but he was only going back to get Robert's ashes. He was just an orphan adopted by Robert and was not a clergyman of the church. The church
He will not be allowed to remain in that church.
"Go to the United States. My adoptive father is an American. I want to see where he lived and then travel around the world. Robert said that the outside world is very big and I want to see it." He took a few puffs.
After smoking cigarettes, Tang Cheng's mood improved slightly. Tang Cheng, who has followed Robert since childhood, can speak fluent English. I believe that he will not be blind when he goes to the United States, not to mention that he has an American passport. In a sense
, Tangcheng is actually considered American.
"I can't do it. I don't have such great ideals as you. If I hadn't been captured as a young man and joined the army, I might not have even been to our county. I just wanted to finish the war as soon as possible, then return to the fields, sell my cows, and build a house."
Get a big house, get a few acres of land, marry a wife and have a few children, then there will be no regrets in your life." There was a hint of yearning in Liu Yangyang's voice, which made Tang Cheng involuntarily think about it in his mind.
A picture of Liu Yangyang holding a child flashed out. Maybe having a family and a field was indeed a good idea for Liu Yangyang.
"Be careful, there's a shelling." Tang Cheng was still lying on his back in the street fortress, intoxicated by Liu Yangyang's words just now, but Liu Yangyang beside him suddenly pulled him and Jiujin and ran towards the building on the street. There was a whistling sound in mid-air.
It came quickly, and just as Liu Yangyang was pulling Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin into the alley, the violent and shocking explosion had already begun to shake the ground. They could feel Tang Cheng in the alley.
When the roof and walls trembled, the three of them had no time to say anything. They rolled open a door and rushed in. Without looking at it, Liu Yangyang went straight to the back window of the house and smashed it with his hands.
After opening the back window and climbing out of the house, Liu Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The three people who came out of the house were already a row of houses away from the street fort. Even if the Japanese artillery fire was fierce, it would not pose much of a threat to them hiding under the eaves. "Let's go, let's go, we can't stop yet."
, keep walking." Liu Yangyang suddenly realized that it was not very safe here, and immediately urged Tang Cheng and Jiujin to continue moving with him. As soon as the three of them rushed onto the street, a shell landed not far away, and the explosion formed
The air waves rolled in masonry and mud debris, and the smoke rose several meters high.
Tang Cheng lowered his head subconsciously, but he still couldn't stand firm under the strong impact. When the air wave of the explosion dissipated, Liu Yangyang pulled Tang Cheng and Jiujin and continued to run forward. New recruits are most likely to make this mistake.
A fatal mistake is to panic or stay put during a large-scale enemy shelling. You must know that continuous shelling will form a patchy killing area, and people hiding in this area may even be dropped several times.
Shrapnel from a shell ten meters away claimed lives.
"Boom...boom...boom..." More and more shells fell on Zhongshan Road, forming a blazing flame storm in a short time. Under the dual effects of the explosion shock wave and shrapnel, the buildings were swallowed up by the smoke.
They collapsed or burst into flames one after another. Under such circumstances, Liu Yangyang still did not forget his new position, even though the loud noise of the shells stunned his mind, and the thick smoke confused his eyes.
The air waves hit him and he swayed left and right, but Liu Yangyang still led Tang Cheng and Jiujin in a circle around the street fort position.
The ferocious artillery fire of the Japanese army continued to wreak havoc on the dilapidated city of Nanjing. The running Tangcheng gasped for breath. The originally blue sky was dyed with a layer of bright blood red, and the mud splashed everywhere with the explosion.
Like birds constantly flying in front of us, the puffs of gunpowder smoke that passed by were shaped like clouds but never as elegant as clouds. The Japanese artillery bombardment of Zhongshan Road was of course aimless. At the beginning, they encountered a few rounds.
After the artillery bombardment, Liu Yangyang, Tang Cheng and Jiujin finally circled back to the street fort they had worked so hard to build, but the sandbags and machine guns were already scattered on the ground.
Just a few seconds after falling into the crater, Tang Cheng, who was panting and out of breath, suddenly felt that the dizziness in his head, the nausea in his abdomen and the weakness in his limbs were all relieved. As his mind cleared up, he suddenly
He realized that what he had just done by following Liu Yangyang through the artillery fire was simply committing suicide, so much so that he now found it incomprehensible. After an unknown period of time, the explosion finally weakened, although Tang Cheng's hearing was temporarily affected by the sound waves.
There is a drastic decrease, but this change can also be detected from the trembling sensation on the ground.
Liu Yangyang, who was also panting heavily, coughed several times without warning, which finally made Tang Cheng's consciousness completely clear. Jiu Jin, who was looking palpitating, also recovered from the panic. The three people in the bomb crater checked each other.
Fortunately, no one was injured physically. Looking at the street fort that Jiujin had built so hard, it was already in ruins. If they wanted to continue to hold on here, they would have to build new fortifications.
"Don't move." Jiujin was about to climb out of the crater to restore the sandbags for the street fortifications, but was stopped by Liu Yangyang, who had a solemn face. The sound of a truck driving through the street was heard not far from them.
, and listening to the noise, there should be more than one truck. "Let's go to the main street and take a look. Some troops should have withdrawn." Liu Yangyang climbed out of the bomb crater and ran to the street fort to check out a still viable one.
He used a light machine gun, grabbed a few magazines and threw them to Jiu Jin, and then ran towards Zhongshan Road with Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin who were confused.
