Stones and tiles rose into the sky, but Shang Zhen, who was lying behind the ridge of the roof, fell down in one fell swoop.
Everyone behind him said "Ouch" in unison, because as soon as Shang Zhen fell, the roof was rattled by the rubble and bricks produced by the explosion.
But at this time, everyone behind them could only lie down, because bricks the same size as fists flew down.
Bai Zhan shouted "Oh my God", not knowing whether he was lucky or unlucky.
To say he was unlucky was because a broken brick the size of a walnut hit his hand. To say he was lucky was because he held his head with both hands when he lay on the ground. Human instinct eventually saved him from the back of his head. A big bag was smashed out.
At this time, the officer and the soldiers all raised their heads and looked forward. At this time, Shang Zhen had already gotten up.
Shang Zhen was the luckiest, simply because he fell down from the house, and after landing, the house blocked the debris from the explosion for him.
The officer got up and moved forward. Only now did Shang Zhen realize that although the three of him were only temporarily "partnering" with the group of military police, there was still an officer behind him.
So before the officer could open his mouth, Shang Zhen took the lead and said: "There is a large circular fortification and a cathedral at the other end of the house. There should be our people there!"
Just when Shang Zhen and the others were rushing here, the whole city of Nanjing was filled with gunshots and explosions. It was natural that the defenders had retreated and the Japanese army had already entered the city.
When they came in this direction, they also heard intensive gunshots from about this place.
However, under Shang Zhen's instigation, those military policemen had no intention of dying and just wanted to break out of the encirclement smoothly, so they did not come here and just wanted to go around.
But after they walked for a while, the gunfire stopped, so with Bai Zhan leading the way, they ran here. Who would have thought that they would bump into the dozen or so Japanese soldiers.
After Shang Zhen and the military police killed the dozen or so Japanese soldiers, he also felt strange as to why the Japanese soldiers rushed to the bungalow. Of course, this could also be said to be that he had grabbed a commanding height to see what was going on ahead. .
When he was on the roof, he only glanced at the other side, but the Japanese army opened fire, and then Shang Zhen rolled down on his own initiative.
God knows what kind of artillery the Japanese army used, and Shang Zhen didn't have time to see it. Anyway, the explosion was shocking. If Shang Zhen didn't dodge in time, although he might not be seriously injured, he would still be injured by the flying debris. of.
If soldier fighting is also a craft, then practice makes perfect and it is easy to understand by analogy.
Veterans like Shang Zhen sometimes don't need to think about it at all. When an idea appears in the mind, the body has already acted on it instinctively. In other words, before the brain can react, the body is already moving towards it. Advantages and disadvantages are avoided.
So after Shang Zhen landed, he had nothing to do with the shelter of the bungalow.
Now when they heard Shang Zhen say that there was a ring fortification at the other end of the bungalow, everyone naturally looked at the officer again.
At this time, although Shang Zhen wanted to save people, it was impossible for him to make the decision anymore, and it was not his turn to make the decision. His own group was not there at all.
He only brought two people with him, one who joined later and the other who was essentially a thief.
However, the officer whose name Shang Zhen didn't know now was decisive. He gritted his teeth and said: "Anyone who dares to fight the Japanese at this time is a good person. Let's go into the bungalow and see if we can save him. !”
Just this officer's decision made Shang Zhen feel good about him. He knew he was right. Hundreds of thousands of troops were retreating, but he could lead his soldiers to do that kind of thing with the Japanese army. It is rare to see such an officer resist excessively!
There were flames in the city of Nanjing, guns and cannons roaring, and just at the Yijiang Gate on the way to the Yangtze River, Chinese soldiers were lying in a pool of blood, and panicked officers, soldiers and civilians ran away from the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers. However, no one cares how they died.
It is said that the general's incompetence exhausted the three armies. Who can tell whether the soldiers who wanted to rush out of Nanjing City and those soldiers who were ordered to shoot to prevent the retreat were right or wrong?
At this time, some gates in other parts of Nanjing were still blocked. Who among the fleeing officers, soldiers and people had the time to open the gates? So there was a rope going down from the crenellation of the city wall. A soldier tied his rifle with a rope and stuck it at the crenel. People climbed down along the rope.
Ants are still alive, let alone humans?
Seeing the soldier climbing down, naturally there were people behind him who grabbed the rope and climbed down. There was one at the bottom, but soon there were second, third and fourth people on the rope.
Just when the first soldier to climb down had just touched the ground and his hands hadn't loosened the rope, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and then he sat on the ground with his buttocks!
broken! There were so many people climbing down the rope that the rope broke! Just as this thought flashed through the soldier's mind, he heard screams coming from above.
At this point, it was too late for him to make any more moves. Yes, the rope broke, and someone from above hit him directly!
When someone falls from a thirty or forty meter high city wall and hits someone below, who knows who will survive?
Tragedies were happening everywhere, but at this time, an old man's exclamation came from a bungalow in Nanjing: "There are bandits, help!"
"Shut up, we are the Japanese Army!" a soldier yelled.
"Ask them where the rope is?" Another officer shouted.
What followed was the "crack" sound of the gun butt smashing open the window and the old man screaming again.
By this time, it was almost dark, and the smashed window became hazy in the distance. At this time, someone ignored the commotion around him, but he was looking at the ring-shaped fortification opposite. The man surrounded by the church is Shang Zhen.
The officer asked the soldiers to enter the bungalow because this trip to the bungalow was relatively long. The officer also absorbed Shang Zhen's ideas on how to deal with the enemy. He did not want to fight endlessly with the Japanese army. He just wanted to observe the situation. If from that ring fortification If someone breaks out of the encirclement, he will run away after catching him!
Then, the location where the soldiers in the fortification break out is very particular. Just imagine, since the Japanese army can think of surrounding this ring fortification, then all the passages are naturally guarded by the Japanese army, and now they have broken into a private house. This is equivalent to having one more escape channel.
The Japanese army was under siege and was blocked on three sides. Now this side is the only one left. Isn't it just one side of the fence? The besieged officers and soldiers should come here if they want to break out of the siege.
