The shrill siren still echoed over Ruichang, and the sudden mutiny in the security camp was beyond the expectations of the residents of the city. They were being led by the maintenance chairman Zhou Fulu to watch the execution.
Howling bullets and loud shouts of killing rang in my ears. As they watched the murderous security battalion soldiers rushing down the street, the gathered residents panicked, became confused, and then fled in panic.
The streets were filled with crowded and fleeing residents. They were stumbling toward their homes with panic-stricken faces, and the streets suddenly became a mess.
"Brothers! Charge!"
Zhang Heizi, who had snatched the Japanese rifle, took the lead and led more than 200 people from the security camp who were full of murderous intent to rush along the street and fight with the Japanese patrol team first.
After being stunned for a few seconds, the Japanese patrol detachment quickly lay down and hid, relying on the sandbags and debris on the street to shoot at the security camp. At the same time, they urgently reported to the squadron leader Takeqi Kurotani.
Meng Fan, commander of the security battalion, was being detained in Zhuqi Heigu. He was about to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys when he suddenly heard gunshots coming from the east of the city. He soon learned from the Japs soldiers running over that there was a mutiny in the security camp, and his face suddenly darkened.
He looked back at Meng Fanggang who was tied up by Wu Hua Dao, and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect Battalion Commander Meng's subordinates... to be so loyal... It's just that they are too stupid... to go against us... the Imperial Japanese Army...
..Only the consequence of destruction.”
Meng Fanggang did not expect that the brothers in the security camp would actually dare to fight the Japanese for his own sake. He was moved but more worried.
He knew how powerful the Japanese were. Although there was only half a squadron in the city, it was not something that his more than two hundred brothers could handle.
But now it's too late to say anything. The brothers in the security camp have already started fighting with the Japanese. He is tied up now. Although he is worried, he can't help at all.
The Japanese squadron leader Zhuqi Heitani saw Meng Fan kicking him hard without saying a word. He chuckled and waved to the Japanese second lieutenant next to him.
"Order all squads to assemble quickly to suppress the mutiny in the security camp. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Although there were more than 200 people in the security camp and his own troops were only a few hundred, Zhuqi Heitani was not too worried. It was more than enough to deal with the rabble.
The commander of the Japanese squads stationed throughout the city quickly received orders from Zhuqi Heitani and surrounded the security camp from all directions.
Although the more than two hundred brothers in the security camp had just used their bloody courage to kill the Japanese guarding them, they also defeated a Japanese patrol infantry unit.
But as soon as they crossed a street, a Japanese infantry detachment, who had received the order, was already waiting for them with a machine gun.
"Da da da - da da da -"
The Japanese machine gunners were experienced and familiar, and their precise three-volume short-point shooting created a rhythmic rhythm. The scorching bullets flew across the empty streets and penetrated head-on into the group of soldiers in the security camp.
There was a splash of blood, and more than a dozen soldiers from the security battalion rushing in front fell into a pool of blood in the blood mist.
The soldiers from the security camp behind them all fell down and took cover to fight back. The bullets hit the walls and scattered smoke and dust, but the Japanese riflemen fired accurately. The exchange of fire between the two sides was a decisive battle.
More than two hundred soldiers from the security camp were pinned down in the alley by a Japanese infantry unit, unable to move. Although Zhang Heizi wanted to organize a charge, the people who rushed out had their heads exploded before they took two steps, and the others were so frightened that they shrank back.
"Fuck it, let's go around and fight with a team of people!"
After all, Zhang Heizi is also the company commander of the security camp. Although he usually spends his days eating and drinking, he has learned a lot from battalion commander Meng Fanggang.
Seeing that the Japanese were suppressing him from the front, he quickly sent out a group of brothers to attack from the flanks.
But the Japanese are not vegetarians either. Not long after the group of brothers rushed out, only one man came back covered in blood and prickly hair.
"Company Commander, Company Commander, there are Japs over there too..." This brother was so frightened that he lost his mind as he ran away and even lost his gun.
Zhang Heizi was shocked when he saw this brother covered in blood. He hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What's going on? Where are the other brothers?"
"Dead, all dead, we are surrounded by Japanese soldiers." This brother burst into tears.
The brothers who were fighting with the Japanese infantry detachment in the surroundings were shocked when they heard this, and even started to tremble when they fired.
"Brothers, hold on! There are only a hundred or ten people in the Japanese city, they can't surround us!" Zhang Heizi shouted immediately when he saw the morale of the army fluctuating.
The brothers around them were a little panicked at first, but after hearing Zhang Heizi's words, they calmed down a little. However, they were pinned down by the Japanese on the street, and the situation was still not good for them.
Just when Zhang Heizi was about to send another force to charge, suddenly there was a clear sound of gunfire behind him, and about twenty Japanese soldiers were firing and attacking towards this direction.
Many of the brothers lying behind were caught off guard and were shot. They rolled on the ground twitching and moaning while still alive. The morale of the soldiers who had just stabilized suddenly became chaotic again.
"There are Japs behind us too!" A brother shouted in fear.
Japs appeared at both ends of the street. Zhang Heizi and his security camp were blocked in the middle of the street and were attacked from both sides. The situation took a turn for the worse.
If Zhang Heizi and the others were a well-trained army, they would definitely not be in disarray. No matter which direction they charged at, the little devil's strength would not be able to stop them.
But in fact, they are just a group of farmers who put down their hoes and picked up their guns. They were a security group before and now they are a security camp. Although they are numerous and powerful, they are still a ragtag group.
As soon as the two sides of the Japanese army attacked from a pincer attack, they were immediately thrown into chaos. The casualties and injuries aggravated their panic. For a moment, they were like headless flies, and they were in a mess.
"Don't mess up! Don't mess up!" Company Commander Zhang Heizi also couldn't understand why he, with more than two hundred people, was flanked by the Japs, and why he couldn't defeat the Japs.
But now it is no longer that they are going to kill the Japanese and save people, but that they themselves are in danger even if they cross the river.
"Everyone, go to the yard, go to the yard!"
Seeing the constant reinforcements of casualties, Zhang Heizi hurriedly used the butt of his gun to smash open the black copper-locked door of a house next to the street, and called his brothers into the yard to resist. It was better than being a target on this unobstructed street.
After such a short exchange of fire, there were only a hundred or so people left in the security camp out of the two hundred people, and they all rushed into the courtyard. This time they were able to hold their ground.
Zhang Heizi looked at the disgraced brothers, and then at the corpses of the brothers in the pool of blood on the street outside. His eyes were full of blood, but he was not strong enough and his anger was useless.
The Japanese soldiers who had reinforced from various places quickly surrounded the courtyard where Zhang Heizi and the others were defending. Although these Japanese soldiers were not many in number, they were still field troops, and they were well organized both in attack and defense.
When the Japanese squadron leader Zhuqi Heitani arrived here, the Japanese machine gun fire team had already seized the commanding heights, and the riflemen had also seized various key points. Zhang Heizi and the others were surrounded.
"I said...against the Imperial Japanese Army...there will be no good end."
The Japanese squadron leader Heitani Zhuqi stepped on the sticky blood on the ground with his military boots, pointed at the corpses of the security camp soldiers scattered on the ground, and said to Meng Fanggang with great pride.
"Yes, yes, anyone who goes against the imperial army should die!" Chairman Zhou Fulu was frightened when he saw the corpses on the ground.
Seeing the normally polite Japs killing people without batting an eyelid, my fear of them increased even more, and I became even more respectful. I was busy trying to flatter them now.
Meng Fanggang's heart was bleeding at the moment. Seeing so many brothers sacrificing for himself, he felt guilty and more angry at the little devil.
