Perhaps the resistance encountered in the front was too fierce, so when the city of Nanjing opened its arms to the Japanese army, these Japanese soldiers who were once extremely arrogant but now a little frightened, instead hesitated.
Many of the middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army had received professional training in military academies. It was with professional knowledge as a reference that when Major Hirano Unkei led more than 300 men to occupy the ruins, he did not rush into the city immediately. , instead established a defensive position based on the ruins to wait for the large troops behind to come up.
About three hundred meters away from the ruins, behind the same ruins, Wang Xiaosan showed his head, quickly glanced at the Japanese position, and then shrank back. Zhang Tai, who was shrinking next to him, immediately asked : "How about it, does the little devil have any intention of attacking?"
Wang Xiaosan shook his head: "These Japs are really weird. They spent so much effort to finally enter the city, but they didn't move back. Don't they have some conspiracy?"
Zhang Tai said: "Never mind it, we just keep an eye on it. Leave other matters to the superiors. Xiaosan, I just saw the commander."
"I saw it too." Wang Xiaosan smiled, as if he could pick up the money bag just by seeing Ouyang Yun.
"Our commander is really young, he seems to be younger than me." Zhang Tai said with emotion, and just after he finished speaking, a steel helmet came out of a hole in the ground next to him. After a while, a man came out, but it was Their company commander Gu said,
It has been almost a quarter of an hour since the Japanese bombing ended. According to the predictions of the commander and division commander, the Japanese army will definitely launch a storm-like offensive next. However, now, the Japanese army has stopped its actions and adopted a steady and steady approach. This made Gu Yiyi feel a little uneasy,
"The little devil hasn't taken action yet."
"Company Commander, the first Japs who came up are building their positions, and now another group of Japs have come up." After hearing the Company Commander's question, Wang Xiaosan looked over again and said,
Zhang Tai asked: "Company commander, does this count as an ambush?"
Gu Yiyi narrowed his eyes and said: "What kind of ambush is this? It's just a sniper at most. Xiaoqiu, please hurry up."
Following Gu Yiyi, there were several people from the company headquarters, including correspondent Qiu Ping. With the help of two soldiers, Qiu Ping lifted a walkie-talkie out of the air-raid shelter, and then began wiring and debugging.
The Japanese army attacked several peripheral points of Nanjing City, and the Guanghua Gate invested the most troops. After Ouyang Yun led his troops to take over Nanjing City Defense, he built some fortifications with the characteristics of the Xuebing Army on the basis of the original city defense fortifications. and traps. Although the long-term shelling and bombing by the Japanese army caused considerable damage to these fortifications and traps, at the same time, it also provided more materials for the defenders to reinforce the fortifications. In other words, although learning from the Third Division It was a pity to abandon the original ruined positions, but after retreating to the second line, the fortifications we relied on were not inferior to the ruined fortifications. Moreover, because of the previous arrangements, we were able to seize the opportunity and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army.
On the roof of the Ye Laixiang Nightclub, which is about two kilometers away from Gu Yiyi and the others, Ouyang Yunzheng is personally supervising and leading dozens of engineers from the Corps of Engineers to work nervously. The Ye Laixiang Nightclub is one of the few cement buildings in Nanjing. After experiencing the attack of artillery fire, it stubbornly did not collapse. In the direction opposite Guanghuamen, because there were no buildings blocking it, Ouyang Yun chose this place as a rocket launch site. In their hands, some abandoned gun barrels After tedious processing, the rocket has begun to take shape. The Xuebing Army's rocket launcher had been developed two months ago. However, considering its extraordinary destructive power, Ouyang Yun did not dare to bring it out. The Xuebing R&D Institute has completed the theoretical research on the authentic single rocket developed on the basis of the rocket, and created a sample. However, the effect is not ideal. When he was still in Renqiu, Ouyang Yun often went to the front line. The workshops and R&D institutes worked with the military engineers on these strange weapons. Now they are back to their old business, wielding wrenches and screwdrivers, and they are still familiar with them.
He Zhengjiang and a group of people from the Third Academy Division were on the side, looking at a dozen long cylinders being set up at the window. Ouyang Yun said that these dozen rockets could at least attack the equivalent of four aircraft. Not only did he express deep doubts about the effectiveness of the machine, but each of these dozens of rocket launchers was filled with at least thirty processed grenades and several blasting tubes. Until now, the war has been enough. He had very little ammunition left, but he was wasting it on such weird stuff at this time. Even though He Zhengsheng didn't have much to say, he was very prejudiced in his heart.
Commander, is he messing around this time?
Using discarded gun barrels and other barrels to make crude rockets is a fantastic idea that only time travelers have. The ammunition part is easy to organize, but the propulsion part is difficult. There is no engine and no Refining the fuel, God knows if we can really use gasoline and gunpowder to eject these rockets weighing several hundred kilograms.
Ouyang Yun has personally presided over this work since early this morning. Although he has always acted confidently, in fact, he has no confidence at all.
About a quarter of an hour later, the thirteen rockets were finally assembled, and they were all lying on the top floor of the Tuberose Nightclub. Behind them were the cement blocks that the soldiers had worked hard to move up to enhance the tail flame spray. The reaction force was strong, and the Japanese troops assembled on the ruined position had already reached a large group. After a tentative attack, Major Hirano finally led the team out of the position and advanced towards the depths of Nanjing City with some excitement.
The task of the plains department is very simple. Clear out the remaining enemies near Guanghua Gate, clear a safe area for the large forces to move in, and then cut off the roads between Guanghua Gate and several other city gates, so that the large forces can encircle the defenders of the other gates. make preparations,
More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were divided into six queues and marched cautiously towards the city. Before they had advanced about fifty meters, they would set up machine guns and grenade launchers, and the mortar squad behind them would also be ready to attack any enemies that appeared. hard blow,
With such a rigorous arrangement, there should be no problems, Hirano thought. For some reason, he felt an unexplainable feeling in his heart, as if the ruins of buildings and buildings around him were dormant beasts. They were staring at them coldly with red eyes,
There are indeed a few pairs of eyes staring at them, and someone is reporting their position through the walkie-talkie: there are still one hundred and fifty meters away from the first trench... fifty meters away, and only one hundred meters away from our defense line. ,
Almost at the same time, Ouyang Yun, who was holding the words in his ear, gave the order to light the fire.
A dozen soldiers lying next to the rocket quickly lit the long fuse under the rocket with matches, and then ran down quickly.
Ouyang Yun stared nervously at the fuses that were making "chichi" sounds and burning rapidly, and shouted: "Everyone lie down, be careful to hide." Then he got down first, pushed down his helmet, and only exposed his two eyes staring at Those leads,
When the fuse burned into the bottom of the rocket and disappeared, a "hoo" sound sounded, and white smoke was ejected from the bottom of more than a dozen rockets at the same time. Then there were several loud "boom" sounds, and flames suddenly spurted out from the bottom of seven of them. The next moment , these seven rockets were pushed into the sky with huge thrust and flew towards the Japanese army column.
The strange noise on the roof of the Tuberose Nightclub alerted the Japanese troops who were searching. Major Hirano waved his right hand, and all the Japanese soldiers in the squadron he led immediately stopped. Then, they saw seven black things spraying out. Flying towards him with flames,
"What is it?" "Ba Ge, what is this?" "Bomb." "Bomb."... The little devils discussed in surprise, and their faces instantly lost all color. However, without the officer's order, they Don't dare to act casually,
There was a loud "boom", and a huge fireball suddenly rose from the top floor of Yelaixiang Nightclub, but it was a rocket that failed to take off and exploded violently.
This explosion came so suddenly, not only frightened the Japanese army, but also Ouyang Yun and the others, because just after the rocket exploded, dozens of grenades were thrown out, several of which were falling towards The small building where Ouyang Yun and the others were hiding,
"Damn it, it's crazy." Ouyang Yun thought in his heart. Without waiting for Liu Kui and the others to pull him away, he yelled: "What are you looking at? Run." Then he quickly rushed towards the back, and in succession He rolled twice and rolled into another quite complete room.
"Ah." Many people reacted and hurriedly rolled and ran in all directions.
Amidst the "rumbling" explosion, the small building was blown up into thick smoke and rubble flew everywhere, injuring several people, but fortunately there were no casualties.
Almost at the same time, the majors, captains, and sergeants of the Japanese army finally reacted and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hidden." on the ground,
Ouyang Yun obviously overestimated his manufacturing capabilities. Of the seven rockets, one flew more than 500 meters before crashing, and then completely blew the dilapidated bungalow there to the ground; another one flew more than 1,000 meters. The rice also fell, and it was a dumb bomb; another one exploded mid-flight. The scattered grenades actually killed two ambushes of the Eighth School Brigade soldiers and injured more than a dozen. However, Even if only four rockets hit the target as planned, and one of them turned out to be a dud, it would still be enough.
In the eyes of the little devils, three of these weird cannonballs exploded violently as soon as they hit the ground. Dozens of little devils were sent directly to the sky on the spot. Then, the scattered grenades and blasting tubes continued to explode, covering the surrounding area. Not only did they knock down all the Japanese standing within a few hundred square meters, they also detonated many Molotov cocktails and two barrels of gasoline that were buried in the first trench.
Amidst the continuous explosions, many Japanese soldiers thought they had run into a minefield and fell into chaos. They just scattered and fled for their lives. Then, the first burning trench divided the Japanese army into two parts. This made The Japanese in front of the fire thought they were ambushed, so they became even more panicked.
