Shang Zhen and all of them fell into conflicting psychology.
They are now located in the southeast corner of Jiangyin County. The Japanese army launched an attack from the east towards the east gate of Jiangyin County.
So now they are less than one kilometer away from the Japanese army.
On the one hand, they did not dare to show their presence for fear of being discovered by the Japanese army, but on the other hand, they really wanted to know how the battle was going ahead.
They watched the Japanese tanks rumble towards the city gate, and everyone couldn't help but be worried about the defenders.
"The little devil's tanks won't just knock the city gate open. Otherwise, if they fire two cannons, they might be able to penetrate the city gate!" Hu Zhuzhu said worriedly.
This was a rare occasion when Hu Zhuzi's words were not refuted by everyone.
China is now so poor and weak.
In the eyes of later generations, it was nothing more than penetrating the 1.2 cm thick steel plate on the Japanese tank. Not to mention the various cutting-edge weapons of later generations. In fact, even today's steel core bullets can penetrate that steel plate.
It's just that history is history after all, not a time-travel drama. There are only hindsight in the world, and few foresight.
The Japanese tanks, which only had 1.2 cm thick steel plates, left an unforgettable and painful memory for the Chinese officers and soldiers. But now are the Japanese tanks about to break through the gate of that county?
They watched the five Japanese tanks advancing, and it would be fine if they were other soldiers. Because of their telescopes, Shang Zhen even saw the bullets fired from the city top hitting the tanks and creating countless sparks on them.
Finally, the first tank crashed through the gate. Onlookers like Wang Laomao and others watched intently. To their delight, the Japanese tank did not break through the door.
That situation is like that Taoist priest from Laoshan who once learned the art of walking through walls. He thought he could walk through walls, but ended up bumping into the wall!
"Did it crash through?" Those who didn't see clearly asked, but those who saw clearly felt that it was not true and asked Shang Zhen again.
"It didn't break away." Shang Zhen replied while observing with a telescope.
There was a cry of relief from the crowd.
At this time, the Japanese tanks rammed into the city gate one by one. This situation was like the ancient siege. The soldiers below used the big round wooden piles to hit the city gate. The soldiers couldn't help but become worried again. .
But after a while, Shang Zhen suddenly said happily: "It can't be opened. I feel that the city gate is blocked by bricks and stones!"
Shang Zhen's statement immediately aroused admiration from the soldiers, but before the admiration subsided, Mr. Wang suddenly said: "Oh, that's not good!"
"Why is Uncle Wang so bad?" Little Dustpan asked.
"It seems that not only this city gate is blocked, but the three city gates are also blocked. In this way, the little Japanese tank will definitely not be able to fit in, but the defenders will not be able to get out of the city gate. Yes!" Mr. Wang analyzed.
"That's not necessarily the case. The city wall is dead, but people are alive. People can get off the city wall when they want to!" Hu Zhuzi objected to Wang Laomao's analysis.
But Hu Zhuzi's statement was immediately despised by everyone.
Although they are still far away from the county seat, they estimate that the city wall must be nearly 10 meters high.
How to get down from the nearly 10-meter-high city wall? Jump off? Or climb down the rope?
Now is the era of hot weapons after all.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. If a person climbs down from a rope, in terms of the Japanese army's marksmanship, a soldier who comes down will become a living target for the Japanese army, two soldiers who come down will be beaten twice, and several soldiers who come down at the same time will be beaten twice. Then the Japanese army can pierce the candied haws with bullets!
"They may not have any intention of coming out at all." At this time, Shang Zhen, who was still observing with a telescope, said in a low voice.
"No way?" Mr. Wang whispered, but then he stopped moving.
Although intellectually speaking, Mr. Wang didn't believe it, in fact he already believed it.
Everyone has a brain and everyone can think.
The situation of blocking the city gate to prevent Japanese tanks from rushing into the city was like a last-ditch battle in ancient China. The defenders did not leave any escape route for themselves. This could not help but make soldiers like Shang Zhen respectful.
But if you think about it further, the cost-effective method of defending the city with officers and soldiers is actually more decisive than a last-ditch battle.
Although a last-ditch battle is a tactic that puts one's life at risk, as a defender, there is hope of victory after all.
But now, the Chinese officers and soldiers are facing an extremely powerful Japanese invader. As far as this city battle is concerned, they have no hope of defeating the Japanese army.
Winning wars in this world ultimately depends on strength.
If there was such a force that could stand up to the Japanese naval cannons, artillery planes, and tanks and prevent the city from falling, then how could the nearly one million Chinese troops on the Songhu battlefield be defeated by the Japanese?
So now the Chinese officers and soldiers guarding the city are not fighting with their last resort, but are vowing to live and die with the city! That is the courage to face sacrifice!
"I think we shouldn't wait and see here. We should enter the city in front. Even if we die together with the defenders, I feel that it will be an honor to die!" Lu Di said at this time.
"I think it's okay!" Hu Zhuzhu was the first to express his stance.
"I think it works!" Mr. Wang also expressed his opinion.
Hu Zhuzizi and Wang Laomao said the same sentence, but their tone was different.
Hu Zhuzi's statement was enthusiastic and sincere, because he has always been a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
However, Mr. Wang's expression was slightly disdainful.
After Mr. Wang said, "I think it's OK," he added, "China will perish unless the Hunan people die first!"
At this point, is there any need to ask what Mr. Wang’s attitude is?
It's one thing to watch others kill the enemy heroically, but it's another thing to agree with others to kill the enemy heroically. If you ask Mr. Wang to commit suicide and fight the Japanese army to the end like a defender, he will never be able to do it!
Lu Di had already heard the implication of Wang Laomao's words, and retorted angrily: "Should people from Hunan deserve to die?"
"According to your statement, all of us Chinese soldiers should die! If we don't die, it proves that we are not Chinese!" Wang Laomao still said in a disdainful tone.
"What's this?" Lu Di choked on Wang Lao Mao and was already a little anxious.
To be honest, after Lu Di and the others were rescued by Shang Zhen and the others, they still admired Shang Zhen's performance in the battle.
At least with their combined strength of less than 40 people, they were able to eliminate dozens of Japanese troops. This was not something that could be achieved by just pulling together a unit.
But now they saw other people's troops fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army, and they just watched the excitement, which made them feel uncomfortable.
It's just that Lu Di didn't think of the problems he encountered, but Shang Zhen and the others had already discussed it.
Shang Zhen and the others would rather beat the drum and sneak attack the Japanese army from the rear, but they were determined not to engage in a positional battle with the Japanese army!
In fact, the subtext of what Wang Lao Mao said is that fighting the Japanese Ministry of Health does not necessarily mean that you must die, nor does it necessarily mean that you have to fight a positional battle.
"The way I see it, let's take advantage of the little devil not paying attention and sneak around in another direction to see if we can enter the city from another direction. The fighting at the city gate is fierce now, who can get in?" At this time, Shang Zhen then came up with a compromise idea.
After Shang Zhen said this, Lu Di had nothing to say, and Wang Laomao glanced at Shang Zhen thoughtfully. Although he did not agree with Shang Zhen's idea, he did not say anything. After all, Shang Zhen was theirs. The boss.
