Dozens of officers and soldiers who broke out from the city of Nanjing finally collided with the Japanese army, just when the lighting strip was illuminated.
Since the Japanese army had been firing off flares before, the dozens of officers and soldiers hid in several dilapidated houses outside Nanjing.
And they finally waited for the moment when the Japanese army would no longer use flares. They also wanted to use the jumping method to break out and run to the outside through the darkness that lasted for an unknown amount of time.
In the same way, three soldiers also took advantage of this darkness to start running away, but their aim was very high. They ran from the base of the city wall to those rooms, but at this time, the dozens of officers and soldiers were running from there. A few rooms rushed into the distance.
As a result, the three soldiers rushed to the house and were temporarily safe, but the dozens of officers and soldiers rushed out of the house and eventually collided with the searching Japanese troops.
When the light is illuminated, that is when both the enemy and ourselves pull the trigger.
"Brothers, fight with the little devil!" an officer shouted, that person was none other than Company Commander Lu.
If you rush forward, you may not be able to survive, but if you stand still, you will definitely die. This is what Captain Nalu thinks.
So the dozens of them fired the guns while charging forward, making "snap" or "he-he" noises.
In fact, there was only a Japanese search team across from them, and they didn't have much strength, but the Japanese army would never retreat.
There are two reasons. First, the Japanese army has established sufficient psychological advantages in the battle with the Chinese army.
When the Japanese army fought with the Chinese army, it was not just once or twice that they fought with a small number and a large number. A small team of nearly a hundred people could single-handedly defeat a Chinese army battalion with three to four hundred troops. Second, the Japanese army's marksmanship is generally very accurate.
This situation is like two people fighting frequently, and eight out of ten times one party beats the other. So do you think the party who always wins will be afraid of the party who always gets beaten?
Company Commander Lu and his group were better because they had some automatic weapons such as traps in their hands, but the Japanese army was better because of their accurate marksmanship.
In just a few minutes of exchange of fire, fewer and fewer Chinese officers and soldiers rushed forward, and the same was true for the Japanese army.
"Fight it!" Another soldier shouted. He had already fired all the bullets in the three magazines he had used. Under such circumstances, how could he have the time to put more bullets in them?
So when he saw the Japanese army in front of him, all he could do was to lie down on the ground. But when he got up, he already had an unstrung grenade in his hand!
However, there were only three or four Chinese soldiers left at this time. Under the lighting background, how could he still have a chance to make a comeback?
"Pa", "pa", "pa", "ta da da", Japanese gunshots rang out, and several Chinese soldiers who were still standing were shot almost simultaneously, including the soldier who had raised the grenade but had not yet taken action.
So, at the next moment, a grenade that was not thrown but fell from the hands of the Chinese soldiers seemed to become the swan song of these breakout soldiers. With the sound of "boom", no one of the Chinese soldiers was left standing, including the Lulian long.
This was a hopeless breakout, or the tactics adopted by Captain Lu and others when they encountered the Japanese search team after leaving the city were wrong.
They were anxious to break out. It was understandable that they did not want the Japanese troops to surround them, but they should not charge.
At the moment when the enemy and ourselves collided, the Japanese army fell down on the spot, and the Chinese army moved forward bravely, so the chargers became a living target for the defenders on the spot.
Perhaps Captain Nalu thought that we couldn't hide in situ. In that case, we wouldn't be discovered by the Japanese sooner or later?
And the facts that have happened now prove that their group of dozens of officers and soldiers who finally escaped from Nanjing City ended up falling on the road to charge!
Who said that sometimes choice is more important than hard work, and at this moment, behind the officers and soldiers who were lying in a pool of blood, there were three Chinese soldiers hiding next to a stack of firewood that was still smoking. It is Shang Zhen, Bai Zhan and Yu Zuolong.
Seventy or eighty meters to the right of Shang Zhen and the others were several dilapidated houses. Seeing the fighting ahead, Shang Zhen moved here directly with the two men.
As a veteran of hundreds of battles, Shang Zhen led his people to move when he saw the battle ahead. Although he said nothing, he could imagine the outcome of the battle that had just ended.
Even if Company Commander Lu and the others could temporarily break through the Japanese encirclement in front of them, they would never be able to escape. This place is only far from the main road entering Taipingmen. It would be surprising if the Japanese troops on the road didn't send troops when the gunfire rang out. Weird!
"Hide well, the kid is definitely coming." Shang Zhen said in a low voice.
The Japanese army had already won the battle, and it was impossible for them not to come over to check. This was why Shang Zhen had to take the two men and hide here at the firewood pile.
"What did they do?" Yu Zuolong, who could no longer figure out how he felt, asked in a low voice.
Shang Zhen's lack of answer was regarded as acquiescence.
This time Shang Zhen asked the two men to hide behind the pile of firewood. He was the only one who observed the situation in front, but he saw most of the battle between Captain Lu and his group against the Japanese army.
In such a situation, Shang Zhen will never help. He is not the hero who can turn the tide. In such a situation where we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered, one of the last two will be hit, and one of the two will be hit. In the end, there is a feeling in my heart. Hate also needs to be tolerated.
Shang Zhen and the others crouched down and lowered their heads, because Shang Zhen had already seen Japanese soldiers carrying their long Type 38 rifles coming in this direction over the corpses of anti-Japanese officers and soldiers.
Shang Zhen judged that what the Japanese army was searching for should be those dilapidated houses, so he took his people and moved them here.
This firewood pile is very moist. Although it has been burning for a while in the war, only most of it has been burned down. The bottom part is still emitting light green smoke. This situation is like burning wet grass in rural areas. That's what happens when mosquitoes or feces are soaked.
But this is also the best hiding place that Shang Zhen can find so far.
They were running from the house. They could not run any further under the light of the flares, otherwise they would be discovered by the Japanese army.
"Cover yourself with firewood again. If the little devil comes and listens to my order, do it!" Shang Zhen ordered in a very low voice.
Although the three of them have now disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers, so what? They don't know Japanese, so they will have to reveal their secrets as soon as the Japanese army comes over!
After Shang Zhen gave this order, he also wanted to get some firewood to block himself again, but then he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the right!
Shang Zhen subconsciously turned his head to look, but all he saw was the smoking firewood close at hand.
He was originally on the left side of the firewood pile. Blocked by the smoking wet firewood, he could not see the situation on the other side at all. And now he did not dare to make any big moves because of the Japanese troops in the distance. Already come.
what is that? It seemed like footsteps. Shang Zhen was startled, but then he heard Bai Zhan whisper: "Come here quickly, one of our own!"
Um? Not all of those who broke through were killed, there was actually one more!
