The little Japs who broke into the headquarters were being scolded by the squadron leader for beating one of their own.
After the little devil got a big slap in the face, he quickly turned back and guarded the stairs.
But at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival had already come up. He was lying on the stairs, holding a submachine gun and pointing it at the Japanese in the corridor.
Four of the Japanese who rushed in front were killed, and the other two were injured and dragged away by the Japanese behind.
The Dragon Boat Festival occupied the stairs, while the little devil retreated indoors.
But at this moment, the sound of a grenade hitting the floor came. Duanwu saw a black shadow and jumped up, but when it fell, it was blocked by a Japanese corpse, otherwise the grenade would have to jump under the stairs.
No.
Without thinking too much, Duanwu quickly retracted half of his body.
Just now, Duanwu had been lying on the stairs, half of his body was on the top of the stairs, and half of his body was on the bottom of the stairs.
So when the little devil threw the grenade, Duanwu's first reaction was to retract his body to avoid the explosion of the grenade.
At this time, as soon as Sun Desheng and others arrived, Duanwu shouted: "Get down."
Sun Desheng and others did not have time to think so much, and quickly squatted down. At this moment, there was a loud explosion, and the broken shrapnel flew directly over the heads of Sun Desheng and others since the Dragon Boat Festival.
A heat wave ensued, mixed with a large amount of smoke and dust, making the originally not very bright stairwell even darker. Duanwu and Sun Desheng were less than one and a half meters apart, but both sides could only see each other's shadow.
Sun Desheng giggled, because at this time, it was impossible to distinguish between enemies and comrades. Thanks to a few people getting together, otherwise it would have been a confusing fight.
But at this time, Dragon Boat Festival was not in such a good mood as Sun Desheng. If the Japanese grenade missed, it would definitely be thrown.
So Duanwu took a pre-emptive strike and took out a Jaap's Type 91 grenade from his pocket. He pulled the safety ring, knocked it on the steps of the stairs, and threw it out.
The grenade made a clicking sound when it hit the ground. A kid was about to throw another grenade, but he was frightened by the clicking sound and quickly retreated.
The grenade bounced on the ground a few times and happened to land at the door of the Japanese command room.
When the Japanese saw the grenade rolling over, they quickly closed the door, preparing to close it to resist the shrapnel flying from the grenade explosion.
This is not impossible. The shrapnel after the grenade explodes is not as powerful as the bullet, so it can be blocked by the door panel.
But now, it's too late.
This is not a TV show. A grenade flies over, can be picked up and thrown back again. Some people even use grenades to play like badminton.
The explosion time limit of the grenade is only five seconds. Duanwu pulled off the safety ring of the grenade and knocked it again, and one second passed. Then he threw it, and nearly one second passed.
The grenade flew in the air, and at least 2.5 seconds had passed. Then it landed, bounced, and at least another second had passed. Then it rolled to the door of the Japanese command room (located in the center of the corridor, the former priest's 300-square-meter dormitory
), the time consumption during this period is infinitely close to the time when the grenade explodes. So at this time, if the kid picks up the grenade, he will definitely be blown away.
Of course, the little devil was not that stupid. He thought of closing the door so that the explosion of the grenade would not affect the house.
But even so, time was still not enough. Just when the little devil was about to close the door, there was a bang and explosion, and the door and the little devil flew out together.
The little devil was flying upside down at this time, but the door was directly hit against the wall due to the huge impact caused by the explosion, making a huge impact sound.
At the same time, the Japanese in the room were running around, making tables, chairs and benches rattle.
"Bagaya Road, give me orders to the imperial troops in the residential areas to come immediately for reinforcements, and tell the Beitian Squadron in the east of the city to come and support us immediately. If this church is lost, the east of the city will be directly exposed to the enemy's firepower."
The Japanese squadron leader roared loudly, and the Japanese communications troops immediately contacted the Japanese hiding in the houses on the south side of the church, and the Japanese from the east of the city came to support.
But at this time, when the Japs made a move, Wang Tong led the Third Company to launch a fierce attack on the Japs' church.
Bullets entered through the windows of churches and houses, flying around indoors.
The unlucky Japanese was hit by a stray bullet and received a box lunch on the spot.
Seeing this, the Japs in the civilian houses had no choice but to retreat and exchange fire with the Northeastern Army. At this time, the only ones who could quickly reinforce the church were the Japs at the East City Gate.
The Japs at the East City Gate also knew very well that if the commanding heights of the church were lost, the East City Gate would be completely exposed to the enemy's gunfire. It would then be difficult for them to reinforce the battle on the city wall from the East City Gate.
Captain Beita immediately ordered a small team of troops to go to the church for reinforcements.
The little devil carried the gun and maneuvered quickly, but unexpectedly, they were just about to cross the intersection when they were attacked by the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the Northeast Army Wang Tong's Department.
None of the fifty or so Japanese who were running in front escaped, and all of them were shot to death several times.
The Japanese who were lucky enough to be alive quickly retreated, then found cover to shoot at the Northeastern Army.
The battle between the two sides soon entered a fierce stage. The Japanese were eager to support the church, hoping to repel the Northeastern Army and quickly reinforce it.
But the Northeast Army has a company. Although the whole company only has two machine guns, if the little devil wants to rush over, it is just a daydream.
Of course, it would be a different matter if there were support from the Japs in the church. However, at this time, all the Japs in the church and the residential buildings on the south side, including the Japs machine gunners on the roof, were entangled by the Third Company.
The sharpshooters of the Northeast Army never left the Japs machine gunners above the church. One machine gunner was shot dead and fell from the roof of the church. The other Japs machine gunner was injured and hid behind the roof of the church to linger.
The third Japanese machine gunner shouted for support.
Because at this time, he didn't dare to show his head at all. The snipers on the opposite side have been aiming at him. As long as he shoots, he will die. Previously, the Japs on the second floor of the church would support the three of them, but at this time, the people inside the church
The Japanese were under attack during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Although Duanwu, Sun Desheng and others do not have the numerical advantage, Duanwu has rich experience in indoor combat. What's more, they all use short guns, which is very advantageous indoors.
On the contrary, all the Japs had were long guns, and more than twenty people were huddled in a house of more than 300 square meters, unable to use them at all.
The little Japanese officer yelled and ordered the little Japanese to break through the wall and cut through the west wall to connect the two rooms.
There were actually Japs in this room near the stairs before, but when the Dragon Boat Festival came up, for some reason they all ran to the command room of the Japs squadron leader.
Of course, if I had to give one reason, it would be that the Japs guarding the stairs yelled at the Japs below for beating them, so the three Japs in the room near the stairs also ran to the command room!
