Chapter 179 December 13
Time quietly came to the early morning of December 13th.
More than 2,000 officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment began to build fortifications in the area marked by Zhong Yi. At the same time, the Japanese on the periphery were not idle and were still approaching Nanjing.
At around 2 a.m., another Japanese army appeared outside the Xiaguan Wharf.
However, at this time, the more than 100,000 defeated troops who were originally crowded on the dock, except for hundreds of whom who jumped into the cold river and were drowned, most of the rest had returned to the city.
Because at this time, most of the outside of the city and even the walls were occupied by the Japanese army, so for these more than 100,000 national troops, the only safe area may be the international safe area marked by the German Rabe!
After all, five days ago, the old Japanese devils of Matsui Ishigen said that as long as they put down their weapons and lifted the hostilities, they will surely ensure their safety! Therefore, more and more defeated soldiers of the national army took advantage of the night to return to Nanjing City, took off their military uniforms, threw away their weapons and hid in the international security zone.
Soon, the time came to 5 a.m. on the 13th, which was the darkest moment before dawn!
At the 367th Regiment Headquarters, Zhong Yi walked into the communication room next door and asked Xiao Bing who was busy: "Squad Leader Xiao, how about it?"
Xiao Bing tried the equipment and replied with certainty: "The mechanical fault has been eliminated, and communication can be restored at any time."
"Very good!" Zhong Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now you can deal with the film first. Flush out the photos you took and dozens of cylinders of film seized from the Japanese as soon as possible! I have an urgent need!"
Xiao Bing nodded and said, "I know there is a large photo studio on Central Road, which will definitely be closed at this time, but the equipment in the photo studio must still be there! As long as the potion is found, you can rinse the photos!"
Zhong Yi said: "Remember to let Niudan send a row to protect you and be safe!"
"I know." Xiao Bing agreed sweetly, and even gave Zhong Yifei a charming look.
Unfortunately, Zhong Yi had already turned around and walked out of the studio with great strides.
As soon as Zhong Yi walked out of the studio, he met Zhu Liangcheng and Yang Chen and the other two came over.
"Group seat!"
"Group seat!"
Zhu and Yang stood attentively and saluted.
Zhong Yi waved his hand and asked, "Have the troops all assembled?"
Zhu Liangcheng and Yang Chen replied in unison: "Get together!"
"Okay! Then come with me!" Zhong Yi said, "Let's give the Japanese an appetizer first!"
After saying that, Zhong Yi took a Bergman submachine gun from the guards, then turned around and walked out.
Zhu Liangcheng and Yang Chen hurriedly followed. When the three of them came to the yard outside the Central News Agency, they saw that more than a dozen scouts in the reconnaissance company and more than 400 veterans from the 3rd Battalion were already lined up in an orderly queue!
The dozen or so scouts in the reconnaissance company were equipped with a Mauser 98K rifle, but unfortunately they didn't have a scope.
The more than 400 veterans of the 3rd Battalion basically had a Bergman submachine gun. In addition, there were eight light machine gun groups, equipped with 8 imitation Czech light machine guns!
Zhong Yi's eyes swept across the faces of more than a dozen scouts and the front row officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion one by one, then waved his hand and shouted: "All of them are there, go!"
...
“Buzz buzz…”
A sudden engine roar woke Chi Peng from his sleep.
Chi Peng turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand, and the official rifle placed at his feet had already arrived in his hand. The cold touch came from his palm, and he was immediately excited!
Chi Peng belongs to the 51st Division and was originally guarding Yuhuatai.
Later, Yuhuatai fell and followed the main force of the 51st Division to retreat to Zhonghua Sect!
Later, Tang Shengzhi ordered a retreat, and the main force of the 51st Division had crossed the river and retreated north, but Chi Peng did not follow the main force.
The reason why Chi Peng refused to leave was very simple. He wanted to avenge his brothers who died in Yuhuatai, even if he had his life for it!
Chi Peng looked up and saw a Japanese tank driving into the Zhonghua Gate and crushing along the Zhonghua Road. Behind the Type 95 tank, there were at least one team of Japanese soldiers.
After waiting for a night, the Japanese guarding outside the city were finally about to enter the city!
Chi Peng tightened the rifle in his hand and whispered: "Brothers, get up and work!"
Hearing Chi Peng's warning, more than a dozen veterans around woke up from their sleep, and then picked up rifles placed at their feet. The only civil-type 24 heavy machine gun was quickly mounted.
One of the veterans even tied up more than a dozen grenades into a bundle.
As time passes by, the roar of the tank engine is getting closer and closer.
Soon, the Japanese tanks arrived under the eaves of the house where Chi Peng and the others hid!
The veteran holding the cluster grenade pulled the fuse that gathered into bundles, then turned around and threw the bundles of grenades out with all his strength.
After flying for about ten meters, the cluster grenade landed just to the right of the Japanese tank!
"Boom!" Accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion, a ball of flames suddenly rose to the right side of the Japanese tank!
The next moment, the huge air wave generated by the explosion instantly overturned the Japanese tank. The barrel of the front machine gun and the main gun barrel of the tank were all twisted into twists!
"Get me!" Chi Peng shouted loudly, raised his hand and shot him!
On the street ahead, a Japanese flag bearer fell to the ground. Chi Peng's shot just now accurately hit him in the face!
As soon as the bolt was pulled, a hot shell was thrown out from the shell throwing port, falling on the brick wall, making a dinging sound, and then another bolt was pushed, pushing another bullet into the chamber.
At this time, the Japanese on the street ahead had responded quickly.
More than forty Japanese infantry quickly retreated to both sides of the street, and the two machine gun teams dragged them up, and the fierce machine gun fire immediately splashed towards Chi Peng.
Chi Peng had long expected this, and he flipped down from the hiding house after a backflip.
After landing, he quickly passed through a ruin that was blown to only three walls, then rushed into another house through the broken wall hole, rushed to the window facing the street for a few more steps, and raised his hand and shot again!
With a crisp sound from the trumpet, another Japanese military chief was shot and fell to the ground!
Chi Peng seems to have a special liking for face-to-face games, and he always chooses face-to-face games for the Japanese!
At this moment, a puff sound suddenly sounded behind Chi Peng. He looked back quickly, but saw a melon grenade that had been thrown into the house where he was hiding with puff blue smoke!
With a curse, Chi Peng jumped up and threw himself to the ground!
The next moment, the grenade exploded with a bang!
The shock wave generated by the explosion instantly caused a large amount of rubble and splashed everywhere!
Chi Peng suffered a lot, which hurt and burnt, but fortunately it was not fatal!
Chapter completed!
