Wang Dapeng changed into civilian clothes, and his only weapons were Xiao Liang's pistol and his own dagger.
After running along the streets around the warehouse for a long time, he finally found an opportunity to blend into the crowd of people. The Japs on the opposite side were chasing Xiao Liang and others in a team. The people watched the Japs leave in fear, and then began to whisper: " The Xuebing Army is coming."
"Is it the student army of the Anti-Japanese Heroes?" a middle-aged man asked,
"Of course." Wang Dapeng picked up the words just right,
"Boom." Suddenly there were several explosions not far away, and then there was loud gunfire. Xiao Liang and the others fought against the Japanese.
Wang Dapeng was not going to delay any longer. He first clarified his identity and then said: "Uncles and brothers, please run with me. We cannot wait to die here."
"But there are still many Japanese soldiers there."
"Don't be afraid. If you don't see the alley in front of you, let's run there in a few. It will be fine." Wang Dapeng said, taking out his pistol, "I will cover you."
Everyone was moved, and two young people squeezed over and said, "Okay, we listen to you."
"Don't be anxious, let's spread the news to everyone first."
Wang Dapeng was very considerate and thoughtful, so Xiao Liang asked him to carry out this task. However, even though he was very considerate, things still went wrong.
The fire burned closer and closer, and the blazing fire illuminated the view around the warehouse. Under the leadership of Wang Dapeng, the first fifty or so people escaped quite smoothly. In groups of three or four, they cautiously approached the opening of the alleyway, and then rushed in. , more than ten batches in a row, did not attract the attention of the little devils nearby. The little devils were facing the crowd, and it was indeed not easy to detect the situation more than a hundred meters away. However, the common people standing opposite the devils and facing the alleyway could see it. It was clear that Wang Dapeng's words had not reached their ears. They thought those people were brave and just wanted to escape from the tiger's mouth. Seeing several groups of people successfully escape, some people were excited and wanted to try their luck.
"Everyone, run." I don't know who shouted. First there were dozens of people, then hundreds of people, and finally almost all people started running towards the nearby alleys. People crowded around and shouted as they ran towards the nearby alleys. There was chaos in the streets, alleys, and warehouses.
"Ba Ge, don't run." "Bah, bah..." The gunshots of Sanba Dagai rang out. The little devils shouted and wanted to stop the crowd, but how could they stop them? As soon as the gunshots were fired, people ran faster. From time to time, people screamed and fell to the ground, but more people ran into the alleyway,
"Don't be chaotic." Wang Dapeng stood up. He tried hard to maintain order so that more people could escape. But at this time, who was willing to listen to him? No one wanted to die. Everyone was swarming. swarmed into several nearby streets, causing a stampede at the entrances of streets and alleys,
"Shoot." The little devils wanted to control the situation at first, but when they saw that they were out of control, they went crazy and ordered the machine gunners to shoot. The gunfire sounded like "tap-tat-tat", and wherever the bullets hit, the crowd fell down.
Seeing more and more civilians being knocked down by Japanese machine guns, Wang Dapeng became anxious. He squeezed out of the crowd and fired a few shots at the Japanese machine gunners not far away. Then he immediately fell to the ground. He had thought about using It would be good to attract the enemy's firepower by yourself and buy some time for the fleeing people. Didn't the commander-in-chief say that soldiers are soldiers of the people, and our ultimate mission is to defend our country and protect our people. He suddenly felt that if he could save more people If a few people escape from the clutches of the Japs, then death is worth it.
The two machine guns of the Japs immediately fired at him. The bullets hit the wall near him. On the street, bricks and dirt flew everywhere, hitting his head and face. He was unafraid and raised his head with his head buried. Shoot blindly with your right hand and use the sound of the gun to tell the Japanese that I am still alive.
More than two hundred Japs were chasing after them. Xiao Liang and the others immediately felt the pressure. The booby traps he planted killed seven or eight Japs. This made the Japs officer leading the team so angry that he screamed strangely and commanded his men to rush forward without hesitation. After Xiao Liang and others sacrificed a soldier, three others were forced into a dead end.
"The camp is a dead end." The soldier who opened the way quickly ran back to report,
Xiao Liang looked at both sides. The wall was very high. Under the pressure of more than two hundred Japanese soldiers, it was impossible to get out. He let out a heavy breath and said, "Brothers, are you afraid of death?"
"If you are afraid of death, you should not become a soldier."
"Yingzuo, as long as we can kill more Japanese, you can tell me what to do."
Xiao Liang said: "The people on both sides should have fled. Xiaojun, prepare flares. I'm going to contact the artillery regiment."
Xiaojun asked in surprise: "We won't blow up the warehouse."
The flares were reserved for pointing out the location of the warehouse, but only two were prepared. One was used when pointing out the Japanese artillery position, but now this one is left.
Xiao Liang said: "There are ordinary people there, and we cannot be national sinners."
"Yingzuo, we listen to you."
Xiao Liang contacted the artillery regiment, first explained the situation of the warehouse, and then asked the artillery regiment to prepare to bombard the place where the flares were raised, specifically pointing out that only one round would be enough.
Fang Qing had not received a message from Xiao Liang for a long time. He didn't know what happened. He was anxiously circling around several artillery pieces. The self-propelled artillery equipped by the Xuebing Army had a minimum caliber of 105 mm. The caliber of the artillery was larger. The lethality was increased, but it also brought about a problem. The short-range range was too large, which made them unable to support the battle at Ximen. Ximen was the focus of the Japanese defense, and the Mountain Division had a very hard time attacking it.
At this moment, Xiao Liang called, and Fang Qing immediately ordered all artillery to aim in the direction of the east gate, raise the muzzle to increase the range, and prepare for bombardment.
At this time, flares were rising from time to time at the west gate and the east gate. Xiao Liang and the others were near the east gate, where only blazing flames were burning. Suddenly, a flare was raised there, and Fang Qing heard the words Xiao Liang's roar came from the mail: "Fire at me." My heart hurt, and I immediately guessed that they were surrounded by kidnapped people. In order to rescue the people who were kidnapped near the warehouse, they used their bodies as bait to lure the kidnapped people. The Japanese were lured out. He suppressed the grief in his heart, quickly calculated the distance, and then passed the order to all the artillerymen through the loudspeaker and issued a salvo order.
When Xiaojun fired the flare, Xiao Liang was shot in the lower abdomen and collapsed on the ground. However, he held the messenger tightly and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Fire at me."
The Japs were only fifty meters away from them. A Japs officer was waving his command knife and roaring: "Charge up, charge up, kill them." Suddenly, he saw a flare rising up in front of him, and his expression immediately changed. Then, "Ba Ge, is there an ambush? Has the west gate been breached?" His ability to associate was rich. In a moment, when the sharp whistle of the shell tearing the air reached his ears, he was so horrified that his liver and gallbladder were split apart, and he shouted wildly. He said: "Retreat, retreat." He took the lead and ran out.
It was too late, more than fifty artillery shells fell, a rumbling explosion sounded, and more than two hundred Japanese soldiers, including Xiao Liang and others, were immediately engulfed by the fireworks.
The flames of the explosion shocked the people who were fleeing. People were crying and screaming, and they immediately exploded. The power of the shells was too great. People didn't know where in the city was safe. People who were originally running in this direction They all ran to other places. After the Japanese guarding the warehouse shot hundreds of civilians, they were afraid that the shells would hit the warehouse next moment. Under the leadership of some officers, they began to retreat towards the south gate.
Wang Dapeng miraculously survived. He got up and looked at the people running away and the Japanese escaping in formation. When he looked at the tall wall of Junzi Warehouse, an idea suddenly came to his mind. Then, he frantically began to look for Xiao Liang and the others. Come, he firmly believed in his heart that they would not die so easily.
The battle in Ximen reached a fever pitch. Huang Hailu, the former second in command of the mountain village and now the deputy commander of the Eagle Cliff Brigade, personally organized the death squads to charge. This greatly boosted the morale of the troops. Jiang Banjun originally did not support Huang Hailu's move. It was reckless. Unfortunately, although he was the brigade commander, there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing Huang Hailu waiting for others to rush forward, he could only command the troops to do their best to suppress the Japanese firepower on the walls on both sides of the city gate, so that Huang Hailu had a chance to attack and be bombed. open city gate,
Huang Hailu looked reckless, but in fact he was very evil. After the Mountain Division formed an army, Ouyang Yun once commented on the Thirteen Taibao one by one. When he mentioned Huang Hailu, he once said: Jiang Banjun is a "little Zhuge". Then Huang Hailu is "Ghost Zhongda". These two people command a brigade, so their enemies will have to endure it.
The bandits in Bawang Mountain all know that when it comes to intrigues and tricks, the second leader is the best at it.
The little devil's fortifications are really cleverly built, with two anti-tank guns, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, a few light machine guns, and dozens of 38-guns. It doesn't matter how many men and horses you have, as long as they don't lack bullets, they'll be fine. It is difficult to break through the defense line from the front,
Huang Hailu had a way. Under his arrangement, thirty-one suicide squad members, including him, first covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, and then each of them carried a grenade tied with a chili bag and lined up next to the city wall. Okay, Huang Hailu gave the order, and both sides threw the grenades in one by one at the same time. Whether they were throwing or throwing, the little devils had fierce firepower and there was no way to throw them. As long as you stood within the range of their fire net, you would be beaten into pieces. The only way to save your life is to stick to the city gate and throw a grenade inside. The little devil's fortification is only ten meters away from the city gate. At such a distance, an adult can throw a grenade in. Dozens of them are added. Throwing a grenade made of raw materials inside, there was first a continuous sound of explosions, followed by a hoarse coughing sound.
Even if the Japanese inside were not killed by the explosion, they were still coughing violently due to the chili smoke. The opportunity for the death squads came.
