The Japanese troops attacking Yangzhou were the Tiangu detachment of the Japanese Matsui Division.
The little devils took several warships from Zhenjiang to cross the Yangtze River, then landed at the ruined fort of Dutian Temple and Jiaxing Bridge at Liuwei Ferry, and invaded Yangzhou along the Zhenyang Highway.
Although they encountered a head-on attack from the two battalions of the 666th Regiment of Chang Enduo's troops of the 111th Division of the 57th Army, under the cover of Japanese aircraft and tanks, the 666th Regiment still suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat towards Yangzhou.
The Japanese army then pounced on the Shijiaqiao position. Chang Enduo's troops stationed in Jiangbei held their position. He ordered the first section of the 662nd Regiment of the reserve team to place the only two flat-fire cannons on both sides of the command post to blast the Japanese tanks.
Under the command of Chang Enduo, the soldiers of the 111th Division fought bloody battles with the Japanese army and repelled the enemy's attacks one after another, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army.
The fighting was extremely fierce. After the Japanese landed, they fought for a whole day on December 13.
After repeated tug-of-wars, both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially Chang En's many troops. Due to the lack of necessary heavy weapons, the attack against the Japanese invaders could only be filled with people. In the end, he even had to move the battalion directly under his division headquarters.
Also thrown into the frontline battlefield.
This battle lasted from the early morning of the 13th to the noon of the 14th. Another Japanese army landed from Huojiaqiao, forming a pincer attack on Chang Enduo's 111th Division. Chang Enduo was ordered to withdraw from the battle and led his troops to retreat to
Jiangdu Fairy Temple, Yangzhou fell.
After the Japanese entered the city on December 14, they started a brutal killing.
The little devils did not distinguish between soldiers and civilians at all. They opened fire on anyone they saw, causing corpses everywhere in Yangzhou and rivers of blood.
They didn't even spare the monks. At that time, the famous Tianning Temple, Fuyuan Temple and other temples in Yangzhou were all bloodbathed by the Japanese army.
Dozens of monks from Fuyuan Temple fled by boat, but they were still shot by Japanese machine guns in the river, and dozens of monks died in the river.
Chen Hanguang, a famous scholar in Yangzhou, wrote in "Report to Relatives and Friends": "After the Japanese army entered the city, people hid in their homes, closed the doors, and held their breath. The Japanese invaders' vehicles and soldiers passed by the alley where I lived.
Inside the door, I felt the trampling of leather boots that made the ground shake, and through the crack in the door I saw the blade of a knife shining in the sky. There was a pawn shop about two feet across from the door, and the Japanese invaders actually entered and plundered them, as violent as boiling soup, and sometimes I heard the sound of gunshots, which was horrifying.
It was heartbreaking. At night, I heard the sound of many people moving things with force. The sound was like a waterfall falling into a deep ravine. The Japanese soldiers filled bags with looted things and went back."
The crimes committed by the little Japanese in Yangzhou are countless, including rape, robbery and robbery.
So after learning about the situation in Yangzhou, people from nearby towns rushed to flee and headed north.
But little did they know that the north was not safe either, and the little devils would soon arrive there.
Moreover, at this time, the little Japanese had already killed many people. After capturing Yangzhou, those who were pursued and killed were not Chinese soldiers, but innocent people.
Killing people and taking their heads back is considered military merit. These little devils, without restraint, are just a group of beasts that have lost their humanity.
"Pursue, pursue!"
The Japs sergeant waved his sword and commanded more than 40 Japs to chase more than 300 civilians.
The young ones still have a chance to escape, but it's hard to say for the old, weak, women and children.
The Japanese would kill people when they caught up with them, and who cares whether these people were old, weak, women and children? They would not even spare the children. They would shoot those who were far away with their guns and stab those who were close with their bayonets. In just a few moments, they were in the jungle and beside the mountain road.
They were all corpses.
However, at this moment, a group of seven or eight cars suddenly came from the north. They directly parked their cars across the road, blocking the bloody Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese were already red-eyed, but when they saw the enemy stop the car, they rushed forward with bayonets in hand.
At this moment, the rear door of the leading car was opened, and a young man wearing a gray suit and a coat got out of the car.
The Japanese was stunned when he saw the young man, because he was wearing very stylish clothes and did not look like an ordinary person.
However, the Japanese soldier was slightly stunned, because in his eyes, the person in front of him was a Chinese after all, and he should be killed if he was a Chinese.
The Japanese soldiers roared and charged at the young man, their bayonets shaking like spears.
At this moment, he saw that the bayonet was about to stab the young man's chest, but he didn't expect the young man to easily avoid the sharp blow by turning slightly to one side.
The Japanese was shocked and was about to stop himself and retract the bayonet, but at this moment, the young man's left hand struck his throat bone like lightning, shattering his throat bone with a click.
.
"ah!"
The devil let out a hoarse scream, covered his neck, took two steps back, and then fell on his back.
While the other Japanese were astonished, three Japanese came forward to attack the young man. However, at this moment, the young man pulled out a sword from his coat.
The sword swept across, followed by three Japanese heads flying high into the sky.
The other Japs looked at each other, but at this moment, the other side had already come to kill them.
Killing the Japanese is like slaughtering a dog, one by one, and the killed Japanese will run away with their heads covered.
At this moment, even the Japanese Army Cao was panicking. He had never seen such a fierce person. He killed more than a dozen of them with just one person. If he hadn't been here to take charge, I'm afraid all the imperial troops under his command would have been killed.
Gotta run away.
"who are you?"
The Japanese soldier asked loudly.
The young man replied in Japanese: "The person who killed you, you little devils, do you have the guts to fight me?"
"Isn't it the Imperial Army?"
There was a question mark in Jaiko Sergeant's head, because he saw the opponent holding a samurai sword and thought he was an imperial soldier, and the opponent also spoke Japanese with a standard Tokyo accent.
But the words "you little devils" revealed his identity. The other party was Chinese.
"How can I be spared in killing the Japanese?"
At this moment, another slightly taller young man also got out of the car, but he had both hands empty.
The young man holding the knife looked back at the other person, and then laughed at the Japanese: "I am alone, and they still have the guts to fight with me. If you come too, I'm afraid they will all be scared away."
"Baga, our Imperial Japanese Army will not run away. Just let the two of you go up together. We, the Imperial Japanese Army, don't care. Retreat!"
The Jaap Sergeant roared loudly, obviously the ridicule of the young man in front of him had completely angered him.
As for his order to withdraw the ammunition, he definitely did not want to express any fairness, but it was related to the characteristics of the Xiaoguizi 38-type rifle.
The Type 38 rifle is very long. If the enemy wants to use the gun to exert force, his index finger must be on the trigger.
Therefore, even if the insurance is turned off, this action is still very dangerous, because there is a possibility of fire at any time.
In addition, the little devil's bullets have strong penetrating power and are very likely to hurt one of their own after penetrating the enemy's body. Therefore, before stabbing, the devil will choose to burn out the bullets or withdraw them, which will make it easier to use force.
.
Of course, they can also choose to shoot and kill the Chinese in front of them at this time.
But again, they were angered by the ridicule of the young people, not to mention that the opponent did not hold a gun. They felt that their side had more people, and this victory still belonged to their Imperial Japanese Army.
But little did he know that the two people in front of him were not only killed from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, but they were also masters of swordsmanship!
That's right, the two people who got off the bus were none other than Duan Wu and Zhou Weiguo. These two evil gods were going to avenge all their compatriots who died today! . . .
