In the face of war, what kind of peace can there be? The legendary golden body of the Buddha, which is indestructible, could only be helplessly turned into ruins in the bombardment. As early as the day before yesterday, the Songjiang Security Group, who was responsible for organizing the city's evacuation, took the Xilin Temple's
All the monks were "invited" out of the temple and asked to go to the countryside to temporarily escape the war.
Under the ruthless military orders, no one could disobey. The entire Xilin Temple was already deserted. Qingpi, stunned by the shell shock wave, lay at the door of the hall that had begun to burn. The only outcome could be death.
But miraculously, a boy about 10 years old rushed out of the meditation room of Xilin Temple. Seeing that he could not wake up the unconscious Qingpi, the young man was decisive and braved the constant exploding artillery fire to scoop a handful of food from the meditation room.
The gourd of water directly splashed Qingpi's head and face to wake him up from his coma, and then helped him hide in the Xilin Tower.
The young man was very courageous. Not only did he help Qingpi, who was a little weak, to the Xilin Tower, he also rushed out and picked up the light machine gun and rifle that Qingpi had thrown on the ground.
The two of them were lucky. The entire Xilin Temple was hit by several incendiary bombs. The Buddhist temple and the main hall, which were mainly made of wooden materials, began to burn. However, the Xilin Pagoda was safe and sound. Although the temperature was frighteningly high when hiding in the sea of fire, at the top of the tower
The two layers are tolerable.
Qingpi also asked the little boy named Xia Qiusheng why he was hiding alone in Xilin Temple. The little boy hesitated and said that he was playing in Xilin Temple and hid in a corner and fell asleep. However, he woke up when he woke up.
, but found that not only the entire temple was deserted, but also the entire surrounding neighborhoods of Xilin Temple, including their homes, so they had no choice but to hide in Xilin Temple again, until they saw Qingpi wearing the military uniform of the Songjiang Security Regiment fainting from the window.
Then he rushed out and rescued him.
Who is Qingpi? Perhaps he is not as good as the soldiers of the Independent Regiment or even as good as the soldiers of the 43rd Army in fighting, but after being involved in the martial arts for so many years, he is an expert at observing people's emotions. Xia Qiu Sheng's words are not exhaustive. However,
, firstly, the little guy is his savior, and secondly, by the accent, he can tell that he is a local, and he cannot be a Japanese spy. Everyone has their own secrets, so Qingpi will not get to the bottom of it, if he wants to
He said that he would tell him sooner or later.
Qingpi is a veteran in martial arts, and he can hear the little boy talking nonsense, but he doesn't know that this little guy will be a famous young hero in Songjiang in the future. His statue stands on the campus of Zhongshan Road Primary School in Songjiang. He
His courage is far greater than Qingpi imagined.
If Liu Tuanzuo were here, he would definitely give a standard military salute to this little boy who is only over 10 years old with a melon-skin hairstyle.
Because not everyone has the courage to lure the Japanese troops to come with the aroma of grilled fish and smear the grilled fish with laxatives to poison the dogs. No one has the courage to lure the Japanese troops to the Japanese-occupied areas and in that famous building.
The words "Down with Japanese Imperialism" were engraved on the wall of the square tower, let alone who refused to bow his head and confess his crime after being arrested by the Japanese army, even if a sharp knife was thrown at him.
The seeds of resistance are planted in the hearts of young people, which almost means that the entire nation still has hope, even in that extremely dark age. Failure to surrender and hope are more important than diamonds in that dark age that was trampled under the iron hoof of the invaders.
Something more valuable.
Two hours after the Japanese army stopped shelling, the fire gradually extinguished, and the black smoke of the burning objects and the yellow smoke of the gas bombs gradually dispersed under the extremely humid breeze blowing from the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, the scattered small bridges and flowing water outside Songjiang City and the exquisite scenery of the south of the Yangtze River
The appearance of the house has changed. More than one-third of the houses were completely blown up and burned into ruins. Only the ruins with smoke rising from them still prove that this was once a house. Even if it was lucky enough to not collapse, the white walls were also destroyed.
The house was blackened by the black smoke, and the house was dark from top to bottom, making it look extremely gloomy and miserable.
The Japanese army began to attack. This time, they did not send any more reconnaissance teams. Instead, they sent an infantry squadron as the main force, assisting a heavy machine gun team to enter the fire scene in order of battle. The number of Japanese infantry entering the ruined walls reached 6 infantry squadrons, with a total of 6 infantry squadrons.
There are nearly 1,500 troops.
According to Sakai Tokutaro, after experiencing the indiscriminate bombing of sulfur bombs and poison gas bombs, not to mention that there will be no Chinese soldiers in the ruins, even if there are, such a huge force will crush them.
Crushed to pieces. Even if those houses were not burned to the ground as he imagined, they could still give the Chinese soldiers some cover.
The Japanese Army Major General still thought wrong. Although the Japanese army was cautious enough, from the beginning of entering the fire scene, except for those houses that were completely burned, all other houses entered door by door. After inspection, they continued to march forward, and the infantry squad
Keep the distance from the infantry team no more than 30 meters to facilitate rescue and focus fire on the enemy after being attacked.
But in fact it was difficult for them to do it. The densely packed houses and narrow alleys in Jiangnan easily separated the Japanese infantry squads and even squads. Even if the distance between them was not far, there was a building or a building in between.
There are several houses, but often only the sounds are heard and no one is seen.
The soldiers of the security regiment attacked resolutely, and their gunfire seemed to be everywhere. In the complicated environment, there was no side fire or side fire. Often, only a "bang" was heard, and then the sound of a formal rifle shot was heard.
There was a loud "click" of the 38 cover, and occasionally there was the sound of grenades exploding, and then there were screams.
The number of Chinese soldiers resisting in the ruins and remaining houses is much greater than the Japanese commanders and soldiers imagined, but the large number of soldiers is not the most terrifying thing. The highly vigilant Japanese army maintains a search and advance of at least one infantry squad.
formation, anyone who shoots at them will face counterattacks from more than a dozen rifles and even grenade launchers. Often when a soldier is injured due to an attack, they can fire collectively to either kill the enemy or drive them away.
As the battle lines continue to compress, sooner or later they will drive away all the "ground rats" hiding in the houses.
The most terrifying thing is that the Chinese refused to leave. Perhaps they felt that they had no way to escape, or perhaps they wanted to fight to the death. Some Chinese soldiers actually fired at the Japanese troops in groups of two or three in a house. China
The soldiers are hiding and the Japanese are hiding. Don't look at the Japanese soldiers who are all awesome and boast about how accurate their marksmanship is. If they shoot at the Chinese soldiers from a distance of two to three hundred meters, they can beat the opponent to pieces. But in this kind of close combat
On the other hand, all their advantages are gone. As long as someone dares to expose his body and is shot by someone hiding inside, he will be hit in the arms and legs even if he misses the head. That would be a life worse than death.
The distance of more than ten to twenty meters brought the shooting level of both sides to the same level.
If left in the wild, anyone who shoots at them in a house will be seeking death. Lighting a fire will burn the people inside. They have done this kind of thing many times on the battlefield in North China. But in
Here, if you give them the courage, they don't dare to do it. If all the houses in this area are burned down, the Chinese people inside will certainly become roasted chickens, and they who are in the fire will also become roasted pigs? I suggest this
The Japanese soldier who did this was almost beaten into a pig's head by his own commander.
Unable to light the fire, and lacking the courage to charge forward, the Japanese army had no choice but to bring in combat anti-aircraft artillery and infantry artillery to blast the house. The infantry artillery and combat anti-aircraft artillery were powerful.
Often within a few rounds, the courtyard walls and houses can be blown down, and even the enemies inside can be silenced.
But this brings about a problem that makes Japanese commanders at all levels want to cry. There are still two to three thousand houses here. How long will it take for them to use infantry artillery as a tool to demolish these houses? Will it take ten days?
Half a month? You can’t even keep up with the hot food! What Mr. Sakai wants is to completely conquer this area before dark!
There are some who won't fight you hard, and will just shoot and throw a grenade and run away. When they encounter this, half of the Japanese squad leaders or squad leaders say they are very calm and continue to march according to the march plan, but there are also some who are not calm.
They chased after the people with them, and as a result, some of them were fired upon by shell guns or even light machine guns. The damn Chinese didn't catch them, but they picked up several more people.
"Baga! Should we pursue or not?" This is probably a thorny problem faced by every lieutenant and squadron leader who enters the battlefield.
The Japanese army not only invested a lot of troops this time, but also invested a lot of heavy weapons, including 37mm anti-tank guns, 70mm infantry guns, and heavy machine guns. However, the lightest ones weighed more than 50 kilograms, and they could not be said to follow the infantry.
We and the Chinese are playing hide and seek everywhere!
It can be said that the entire area west of Songjiang City seems to be full of Chinese people. Even the house that has just been searched cannot be said to be absolutely safe. The Chinese people don't know where they will get in again and come to you from behind.
One shot. The Japanese army, which was full of strength, had never seen the established Chinese army, and had been dealing with various "stragglers".
Not to mention that the Japanese army didn't know, in fact, even Wang Gongyu, the commander of the security regiment who was watching the battle at the West Gate City Wall guard post, didn't know his troop deployment on the completely chaotic battlefield in the west of the city, let alone how many officers and soldiers he had.
The only thing he knew clearly was that his group of "gangsters" were fighting the Japanese on the battlefield. They were 2800-year-old Chinese and Songjiang people, and they did not embarrass him.
The battle fought in the ruins caused the Japanese soldiers to feel pain all over their bodies, including their heads, chests, livers, kidneys and balls...
Of course, what hurts more is the injured Japanese soldiers. The power of the 7.92 mm caliber bullet of the official rifle is more powerful than the 6.5 mm caliber bullet of the 38-type rifle. When it hits, there will be a bloody hole. One shot will hit the forehead or chest.
It's okay to kill someone like this, but the security regiment soldiers' marksmanship was not that accurate, and they were often just a little bit off. As a result, more Japanese soldiers were injured and could still breathe a sigh of relief than those who were killed on the spot.
You can ignore the dead, but you must take care of the living! The miserable screams of the Japanese were heard one after another in the ruins, making it like a misfortune competition. Second Lieutenant Hideo Fukuda even felt lucky to hear that he could have a chance to write a diary outside.
: "Damn it, luckily I don't have to go to that damn place anymore."
Looking at the corpses and wounded being carried out from the battlefield, Sakai Tokutaro, with veins popping out of his head, could only bite the bullet and continue to increase his troops. If 6 infantry squadrons, 6 heavy machine gun squads and four artillery squads were not enough, then he would
Four infantry squadrons were added, and by about 5 p.m., the total number of Japanese troops deployed on the battlefield exceeded 2,500, which was almost half of the infantry regiment and far exceeded the 1,000-strong Songjiang Security Regiment.
