The little Japs called for help in fear, while the Japs on the second floor of the church and the Japs guarding the first floor rushed to the back door with guns in hand.
This back door is the door to the backyard corridor.
The door of the corridor in the building is not directly connected to the church hall, but a small door is opened on the south side of the church hall.
There is a wall on the side of the small door close to the hall, blocking the small door like a screen.
Moreover, churches, like foreign buildings, are built from east to west, rather than facing north and south like our ordinary houses.
This is related to the geographical location here, because many north-south streets, commercial buildings, and shops are built in this way, running east-west.
Of course, a church is not a shop, but it is similar to a shop. Shops sell goods, but churches sell truth.
Sometimes, good words and advice are indeed more expensive than gold and silver.
So this church was also built along the streets, east and west.
Entering the church is the lobby, the furnishings inside are similar to those in other churches.
In the center is Jesus crucified. The tall statue is more than three meters high. Through the colorful crystal glass, the sunlight shining on Jesus' body will appear like a ray of light.
In the words of the priest, this is the vision of God’s coming. If you believe more in God, you will have eternal life.
On the south side of the Jesus statue is the small door just mentioned. From this small door, you will reach the corridor behind the church. Go north along the corridor, and you'll find the back door less than twenty meters away.
Walking to the south side of the corridor, less than twenty meters away, is the stairs to the second floor.
The Japs did not light the lights in the church, because turning on all the lights in the house during the battle was tantamount to seeking death.
So at this time, the corridor connecting the small side door to the back door was very dark. Only two windows let in a faint light.
Duanwu heard the footsteps of the Japanese and quickly signaled Sun Desheng and others to stop.
The Japanese rushed out from the side door at this time. Duanwu thought for a moment and then shouted loudly in Japanese: "The enemy has already gone upstairs, give chase."
"Hi!"
The little devil couldn't see clearly who the other party was. But Dragon Boat Festival's Japanese was so standard that the little devil thought he was an imperial army officer without even thinking about it, and he held the door as if he was injured.
Therefore, the Japanese who rushed out of the church hall did not confirm Duanwu's identity, but rushed along the corridor to the south stairs, and from there, they could go up to the second floor of the church.
The windows in the priest's dormitory on the second floor of the church all face the south side, and the windowless room on the east side near the end of the corridor is used as a treasury to store the donated gold and silver treasures.
Outside the dormitory, that is, on the north side of the dormitory, is the corridor. This corridor runs east-west. On its south side are the dormitories of priests and priests, and on its north side is the church hall. And on the wall on the north side of the corridor, six skylight-like windows were opened, allowing one to see into the hall. This is designed for the convenience of the priest to see if there is anyone in the hall. After all, the priest can't stay in the hall all the time, he also needs to rest.
And when you hear a sound, you lie down on the window and watch. If it is a guest, you have to go to greet the guest. But if it's a beggar, then he has to think about whether he should go down to entertain him. After all, the church is also a charity.
Of course, we can’t always be charitable, and the priest’s own life will be difficult to live by.
Going west from the corridor is the staircase. At this time, in addition to the Japanese who escaped, there were six more Japanese guarding here.
The Japanese heard the footsteps and mistakenly thought they were pursuers. They fired at the bottom of the stairs.
The Japs above fired, and the Japs below thought they were indeed enemies. Moreover, their commander was on top. A Japanese corps commander shouted while firing: "Attack, our enemies are on top, protect our commander."
boom! Bang bang!
Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu!
The Japanese machine guns below opened the way and launched a charge towards the top of the corridor. At this time, the Japs upstairs heard the roars of the Japs downstairs and knew they had beaten the wrong person. A Japanese soldier shouted: "Don't fight our own people..."
boom!
"ah!......"
Before the Japanese finished speaking, he was shot in the head and received a box lunch on the spot.
"Bagaya road!"
The Japs upstairs were furious, but there was nothing they could do. The Japs below were shooting like madmen and didn't even listen to what they said.
Of course, it wasn't that the Japs downstairs didn't want to hear what they had to say, but that when the machine gun fired, they couldn't hear anything at all. The entire corridor was filled with gunshots.
The Japs upstairs had no choice but to retreat back, hoping that when the idiots downstairs rushed up, they would find that they were all their own people upstairs.
At this time, a Japanese sergeant shouted to the Japanese officer in the church hall along the east-west corridor on the second floor: "Quickly stop your soldiers, they have hit the wrong person."
A Japanese officer and two Japanese soldiers who were staying in the hall heard that their soldiers had shot the wrong person, and they rushed out of the back door to stop their troops.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, the Japanese officer had just opened the door and walked out, and there was a sharp steel knife in his stomach.
Dragon Boat Festival has been waiting outside the door. He just gently opened the door and took a look. With the moonlight coming through the window, he saw three Japanese.
At this moment, the Japs upstairs shouted to the Japs downstairs to stop the Japs team that was attacking upstairs.
So Dragon Boat Festival retreated and waited at the door. The Japanese officer came out and Duan Wu stabbed him in with a knife.
The Japanese officer's eyes widened, as if in disbelief. Because it had not been long since his men left this door, and they had all reached the second floor, there were still enemies in the corridor.
The Japanese soldiers behind realized something was wrong, picked up their bayonets and were about to stab Duanwu. I just didn't expect that at this time, Sun Desheng and others would have stabbed him with the knife.
The two Japanese soldiers were stabbed two or three times each until they died, before Sun Desheng and two other soldiers released them.
Duanwu made a forward gesture at this time, and then rushed towards the stairs first.
At this time, the little devil had already gone upstairs. Duanwu heard from the other party's footsteps that the devil's approximate location was already in the corridor on the second floor.
Dragon Boat Festival must speed up, otherwise the Japanese will realize that they have hit the wrong person and will turn back and guard the stairway again.
This stairway is not easy to attack. There is no need to attack the Japanese guarding the stairs at all, just throw grenades down.
If it were the Dragon Boat Festival, he would definitely fight like this. As long as there are dozens of grenades, the people downstairs will never be able to attack without heavy casualties.
So before the Japanese could react, Dragon Boat Festival took two, three, four, and five steps up the stairs. Even Sun Desheng and others were left far behind! ...
