Although a considerable number of Nanjing civilians did not evacuate, the people in the city gate area had already fled.
The reason is naturally because this is on the front line, and the city wall is the focus of heavy firepower attacks by the Japanese army.
Think about it, the Japanese army destroyed the city wall of Guanghuamen, so half of the houses next to the city wall were destroyed in the war. If the people didn't run away, could they just "die hard and be kind to everyone"?
Therefore, it is very easy to find a hiding place in this area!
"Let's go too!" As Shang Zhen shouted, the three of them came out of the hiding house.
Shang Zhen said to leave, but actually he meant to run.
The Japanese army's flares have not yet been raised, and the Japanese troops at the gate in front have been wiped out by Camp Commander Wen and others. Since Camp Commander Wen and the others rushed into the city gate, there is no reason to come back. They are not afraid of accidental injury to their own side, so Shang Zhen Why don't they run now?
Taking advantage of the light in the distance, the three of them ran towards the city gate. Bai Zhan was eager to escape and ran ahead.
"That boy named Bai, come back here!" Yu Zuolong was so angry that he shouted in a low voice.
"Why?" Bai Zhan didn't understand.
"Looking at your waist and big ass, you look like a Japanese devil. Come to the back to cover me!" Yu Zuolong scolded.
When people get along with each other, everything will rebound.
Bai Zhan bullied Yu Zuolong with his sharp teeth and sharp mouth, but now he jumped forward as soon as he saw how to escape, how could Yu Zuolong not be angry?
Therefore, honest people will also blame others when they are angry.
However, to be honest, Bai Zhan is a thin man. In terms of size, he does not look like a Japanese, but he has a sneaky and wretched temperament when he runs like a born thief.
What Yu Zuolong meant was that if you Bai Zhan ran behind and the Japanese were chasing you, they would think you were a real Japanese. Wouldn't the three of them be safe?
When Bai Zhan saw Yu Zuolong talking about himself, he wanted to quarrel, but then they heard a "boom" in the distance. When flares exploded in the sky above their heads, they left the city gate. The cave is still dozens of meters away.
But that's it, then they heard "thumping" footsteps behind them, and then the Japanese soldiers shouted.
Oops, some of the Japanese troops who entered the city actually came back after hearing gunshots coming from the city gate!
But at this point, how could Shang Zhen and the others have any reason to look back?
"Run, let's talk after we go in!" Shang Zhen shouted, and the three of them quickened their pace, hunched over their waists and tried their best to look like the Japanese soldiers they were familiar with, and rushed into the city gate.
And Shang Zhen shot a shot into the dark city gate in a decent manner.
It's just that his shot naturally refused to go through the doorway, but it hit the side wall of the doorway with a "ding" sound!
The Japanese soldiers behind were naturally confused by Shang Zhen and the others, but it didn't matter after thinking about it. This was originally a battlefield, so what's weird about having companions chasing Chinese soldiers?
There was wind under their feet, and in an instant, the three of them, Shang Zhen, rushed into the long, narrow and gray city gate hole.
The Taiping Gate was not wide to begin with. Although there were flares shining brightly in the sky at this time, the light entering the city gate was very limited.
"Be careful of dead bodies!" Shang Zhen reminded in a low voice. At this time, Bai Zhan was a thief after all, but his reaction was very quick. He avoided it, but Shang Zhen and Yu Zuolong stumbled on the city gate one after another. On the corpse in the cave.
The corpse in the city gate cave is still cold, but it is the Japanese soldier who was killed by Battalion Commander Wen and his group when they rushed out just now.
Shang Zhen was just stumbled. He was not surprised but overjoyed and whispered: "You two, wait for me!" Then he stopped and bowed!
This time, the two men carried out Shang Zhen's order.
Bai Zhan was afraid of death. Now that he had found a chance to survive, he thought that his marksmanship was not very good. He should leave the rest of the matter to Shang Zhen, a veteran!
And Yu Zuolong also knew that Shang Zhen was powerful, and he began to admire Shang Zhen from then on, and he decided to obey Shang Zhen's orders in the future.
So, the two ran forward, but Shang Zhen, who had already adapted to the darkness of the city gate hole, leaned over and started working.
Shang Zhen was busy for only a moment. When he heard the footsteps of the Japanese army behind him, he rushed forward again like an arrow from a string.
And just when he rushed to the exit at the other end of the city gate, he put his hand on the edge of the hole and hid directly beside the city gate.
It was dark inside the city gate, but it was bright outside the city gate.
Shang Zhen's move was so urgent that he almost bumped into the person hiding next to him, and that person was none other than Yu Zuolong. When Shang Zhen turned around, he saw Bai Zhan standing at the door. It's hiding on the other side of the cave entrance.
At this time, Shang Zhen had no intention to care about why Bai Zhan, a coward, left the city but did not run forward. He dropped the 38-type rifle in his hand, reached out and took out a grenade from his trouser pocket!
It turned out that when Shang Zhen rushed into the city gate hole just now, he stepped on a round thing.
Even though the Japanese big-toe shoes he wore were made of rubber, Shang Zhen knew from his years of military service that he had stepped on a Japanese grenade just by the feel of his feet!
You asked Shang Zhen to charge forward against the Japanese bullets like Battalion Commander Wen and others did. He was totally unwilling, but he had rich experience in fighting with the Japanese.
He was worried that all four grenades he had seized from the Japanese army had been used up, but this time it was good. Someone gave him a pillow whenever he fell asleep!
With this, how could Shang Zhen not be happy?
When he threw the four grenades at the Japanese army earlier, due to the change in the format of the Japanese grenades, the delayed explosion time of the grenades was shortened. To be honest, even without seeing Shang Zhen, he knew that the effect of the air explosion was not ideal. .
According to Shang Zhen's experience, the grenade is most lethal when it is thrown at a high altitude above the heads of the Japanese troops and explodes.
Like the grenade he threw earlier, because it was far away from the Japanese army, the gap between the exploding fragments was large, so its lethality to the Japanese army was definitely limited.
But this time it was different.
As long as you master the air blast height of the grenade in this narrow city gate, the damage to the Japanese army when the grenade explodes in such a space is definitely not the same as before!
Even if Shang Zhen is stupid, he can think of it. He just needs to throw the grenade like this. Not to mention the direct damage caused by the fragments to the Japanese army. If the fragments collapse on the big stone in the city gate, the fragments will definitely bounce and refract. Then But it’s a secondary injury!
How could Shang Zhen give up such a good opportunity to kill the enemy when he was running for his life?
If he turns back to kill the enemy now, Shang Zhen may die, but if he doesn't turn back to kill the enemy, then he will die too, and he will regret his death!
At this time, under the light of the flare, Shang Zhen was naturally no longer his usual honest and arrogant person. With his eyes shining, he had already pulled out the pin of the first grenade, and he knocked the grenade away. He held the grenade's fuse with his hand.
The clattering footsteps of the Japanese troops came from the city gate hole. At this time, Shang Zhen held the grenade for a few seconds, and then gave up and threw the grenade into the city gate hole.
"One moment is one thought, twenty thoughts is one moment, twenty moments is one snap of fingers, twenty snaps of fingers is one stroke, and twenty snaps is one moment."
Let’s not worry about whether it was a moment, an instant, or a moment. In the very short period of time when Shang Zhen’s grenade was released and flew into the city gate, there was a "boom" explosion inside, and it happened almost at the same time. What human ears simply cannot distinguish is the roaring sound of the grenade fragments in the narrow and cramped city gate!
