Chapter Ninety-Three: The Position of Three (1)

"Obediently, Lao Tzu said that there are a lot of people in this gang of little devils, and it took a long time for two Japanese squads to come here together." When Tang Cheng read out the contents of those documents, Liu Goat, who had a bloody face, couldn't help but shout lucky. If it weren't for the fact that these Japanese troops broke into the city because of the lack of ammunition supplies, they would not have been able to fight against them at all, and I don't know whether to say that these Japanese soldiers were unlucky or their own people were lucky.

Killed almost 100 Japanese soldiers, but the national army on Liu Goat's side also suffered more than 200 casualties, if it weren't for the sporadic national army rout soldiers who heard the gunshots and rushed over, maybe Liu Goat They really couldn't stop the attack of this group of Japanese soldiers. "Company Commander Liu, what should we do now?" The people of the 156th Division elected a veteran to ask Liu Goat's meaning, and after a battle that lasted for a day, the people of the 156th Division were already very familiar with Liu Goat, and on the question of whether to stay or goat, the people of the 156th Division wanted to hear Liu Goat's opinion.

"You know that I am a member of the 88th Division, although there are only three people left in Lao Tzu's second company now, but that is also the sequence of the 88th Division, right?" Liu Goat carved a route on the ground with a bayonet, and then whispered, "These Japanese soldiers are coming for Zhongshan Road at a glance, why don't they go to other places?" Because they know that the Zhongshan Road leads directly to the Rujiang Gate, they are here to block the retreat of all the national troops in the city, and want to block all of us in this Nanjing City, I estimate that there should be other Japanese troops running here, so I want to stay here and hold on, and wait for the 88th Division to withdraw from the Zhonghua Gate before talking about other things. ”

The national army that followed Liu Goat to exchange fire with the Japanese army here was originally temporarily gathered, but now that the Japanese army has been killed, and seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the exhausted defeated soldiers naturally have other ideas. Liu Goat and Tang Cheng did not recognize the road, it did not mean that the other defeated soldiers did not recognize the road, the people of the 156th Division even tied up two Nanjing people to act as their guides, as long as Liu Goat agreed, the next choice of these defeated soldiers was to go to Rujiangmen.

Liu Goat's choice to hold on to this place surprised most of the defeated soldiers, and when Liu Goat gathered them to confront the Japanese army, he said that he would go to Rujiangmen after defeating this group of Japanese soldiers, and now it seems that they were fooled by Liu Goat. "It's okay for you to leave, but you have to leave us with weapons and ammunition, and then take those brothers from the Sichuan army across the river, this is what I promised them." The routs could go as they pleased, but Liu Goat stood up and persuaded them to leave their weapons and ammunition behind.

"Why do you want us to leave our guns and bullets, I heard that a rifle on the other side of the river can be sold for more than a dozen oceans, and Lao Tzu also has three grenades, and these things are the price of a scalper when they are brought across the river." The people of the 156th Division hadn't said anything yet, but the people from the other units were a little yelling, but Liu Goat didn't care about their shouting at all.

"You're all fucking dreaming stupid, aren't you?" Liu Goat's eyes widened and he scolded, "There are only a few small boats by the river, you really think that when you cross the river, you can still carry guns and bullets, it would be good to keep you alive, and I still fucking want to cross the river and exchange guns for scalpers, you can figure it out." Liu Goat's words made those unconvinced routs shut their mouths, the troops who crossed the river were more than tens of thousands, just like Liu Goat said, if the soldiers who crossed the river were armed and bullets, the ferry boat really could not fit a few people, so it would be better to cross the river empty-handed.

Liu Goat, who was worried in his heart, squinted at these defeated soldiers who were about to leave, what he said just now was to fool these guys, if they were really unwilling to leave weapons and ammunition, Liu Goat, who was weak and weak, naturally couldn't say anything. After some summing, most of the defeated soldiers chose to follow the people of the 156th Division to Rujiangmen to prepare to cross the river, only a few people from the Sichuan army said that they didn't want to leave, they just wanted to follow Liu Goat here to kill more Japanese soldiers here to avenge the robes they died in battle.

"Let's go, let's go, after crossing the river, go back to Sichuan and live well, your Sichuan army people are not easy to live, think about your family, let's follow." Liu Goat stuffed the last few pieces of ocean and banknotes in his pocket to the Sichuan army, and drove them into the crowd of the 156th Division with a glare. Since they went out of Sichuan to resist Japan, the Sichuan army has not been treated by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and they have no share in either ammunition supply or material supply, so the Sichuan army has always been a flower child to participate in the war, Liu Goat really let these Sichuan army people leave, because the 88th Division also does not wait to see the Sichuan army.

A Czech light machine gun plus 2 boxes of ammunition, two Japanese light machine guns plus 500 rounds of ammunition, a Japanese 50 grenadier canister and 12 Japanese grenades, these are all the heavy weapons after Liu Goat and their inventory. When the national army broke out, they also left Liu Goat with 15 intact Mauser rifles, 300 rounds of ammunition, and 20 wooden-handled grenades, which were all the weapons and equipment that Liu Goat had, of course, this did not include the flower machine machine guns in the hands of Tang Chuan and Jiujin.

"Okay, it's quiet now, and it's just the three of us." The battlefield that had been fighting fiercely for a day and a night was full of the smell of gunpowder and blood, of course, there were many corpses, but there were only three of them. After a short rest, Tang Cheng and Jiujin pushed a rickshaw full of weapons and ammunition, followed by Liu Goat, who had not yet woken up from exhaustion, and arrived at their new position a few minutes later. The new position was located on the left flank of the previous battlefield, and although it was still some distance away from Zhongshan Road, Tang Cheng noticed that not only did he have a wide field of vision, but also that it was about 50 meters to the right of the mountain, and he could observe the movement of Zhongshan Road from a commanding height of a two-and-a-half-story western-style building facing south.

didn't help Jiujin unload those weapons and ammunition, Tang Cheng, who was holding the flower mechanism, went to the small western-style building that he found alone, and it could be seen that the owner of this small western-style building full of strong European flavor was a tasteful person. Ornamental shrubs and flower beds can still be seen on the ground fenced by the wooden fence outside the building, but they have now been destroyed by Japanese bombs and shelling, and even the gate of the building is missing.

Tang Cheng, who was cautious, went upstairs from the stairs on the left side by bypassing the main entrance with a gun, and at first glance, there did not seem to be a staircase leading to the top floor on the second floor, Tang Cheng looked back and forth on the second floor, and finally found a spiral staircase behind a wooden door. The creaking of military shoes on the wooden pedals suddenly brought Tang Cheng back to his childhood memories, when Robert used wooden stairs in the church in Beiping, Tang Cheng liked to listen to the creaking sound of this wooden staircase when he was a child, but the young Tang Cheng did not know that only wooden stairs in disrepair would make this creaking sound.

Fortunately, the wooden stairs in this western-style building were quite sturdy, and apart from making a sound, Tang Cheng didn't even notice the trembling sensation under his feet. Walking out of the small door at the end of the stairs, Tang Cheng came to a small arc-shaped terrace, the pointed roof of the main body of the western-style building is basically level with the ground of this terrace, and the roof is paved with striped blocks of reddish-brown tiles.

As the so-called standing high and seeing far away, on the roof more than ten meters above the ground, lying on the ground can also see farther ahead, and the place where there is still green smoke at the end of the line of sight is the position where Tang Cheng has fought for a day and a night, but now there are only corpses and rubble all over the ground. Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the roof of the building, felt that if he was the commander, he would definitely make some arrangements by using the terrain here, as long as he arranged a machine gun and enough ammunition here, it would be difficult to protect the invading Japanese army.

This European-style western-style building reminds Tang Cheng of his residence with Robert in Shanghai, but unfortunately those have become a memory, Robert has gone to heaven, and he has become a soldier of the Nationalist army who fought and killed the Japanese army with a gun. Once upon a time, Tang Cheng just wanted to live comfortably, but now this has become a luxury, and now Tang Cheng only wants to kill the Japanese to avenge Robert. Back at the new position, the sweaty Jiujin was building a street fort with sandbags scattered at the entrance of the street according to Liu Goat's request, and the honest Jiujin even listened to Liu Goat's arrangement to build a layer of protective fortifications with the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the periphery of the street fort.

Tang Cheng mentioned the matter of the small western-style building to Liu Goat, but unfortunately Liu Goat decided to build a position here after going to see it and came back, because there were only three people in their fairy Zi'a, and Liu Goat was the only one who could make the machine gun. Liu Goat has already recognized Tang Cheng's combat effectiveness, but agreeing does not mean that Tang Cheng has the ability to face the Japanese attack alone, so the three of them must be together.

Tang Cheng squinted his eyes and nested in the street fort to reload all the rifles and magazines, there were only three of them on the position, once they exchanged fire with the Japanese army, they had no time to reload the bullets, so Liu Goat asked Tang Cheng to load all the weapons in advance. Looking at the white belly of the fish appearing in the sky, Tang Cheng, who was already hungry and growling, looked at Liu Goat with a bitter face, they were all guys like this madman, if he hadn't insisted on staying here and waiting for the 88th Division to retreat, maybe he would have followed the people of the 156th Division to the river and waited to get on the boat.

Not only Tang Cheng is full of doubts about sticking here, but Liu Goat himself is actually uneasy in his heart, only the three of them remain on the position, once the Japanese army appears, it will never be as simple as only a few people, yesterday's battle speaks for itself, so Liu Goat himself has no confidence in sticking to this place. The sun was getting higher, listening to the sound of guns and cannons everywhere in the city, Liu Goat and the three of them nested comfortably in the street fort and nibbled on the flatbread, and after they were ready to meet the enemy, they enjoyed what was probably the most leisure time.
