Chapter 96: The Bloody Battle in the City (3)
Several days of bloody siege battles have made the arrogant Japanese army know what it means to be impregnable, and most of the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese army are now strong bows and crossbows, and even those soldiers and commanders who are usually brave and brave have shrunk into the attack formation and no longer take the lead in the charge. Haneda stood on an armored vehicle and watched the terrain in front of him with a telescope, the long street full of gunsmoke was lined with rubble on both sides, but there were a few makeshift bunkers made of sandbags and masonry more than 300 meters away, and a few Chinese soldiers were still faintly visible behind the bunkers.
Rumble! Rumble! The Japanese tentative artillery bombardment hit the area around the Nationalist bunker, and a group of Chinese soldiers evacuated in a panic. Haneda on the armored car looked at the scene in front of him with a telescope with disdain, and then waved his hand, "Report to the wing commander, the leading brigade has defeated the soldiers in front of the Shina, and my Haneda brigade and the Matsuda brigade of the 38th wing are pursuing the remnants of the Shina people." With Haneda's advance order, the remaining nearly 2,000 people of the two Japanese advance brigades soon covered the entire street, and it looked like a dense patch of earthy yellow.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Just as most of the soldiers of the 33rd Wing of the Japanese Army entered the long street, a series of explosions occurred in the rubble piles on both sides of the street, and dozens of black clay cans were blown into the air by the explosion waves. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" The crockpot that was spinning in the air exploded slightly, and a large amount of white powder was scattered from the exploded crockpot. "Anti-virus, anti-virus." The damned Shina actually used biological weapons, and the panicked Japanese soldiers kept cursing while wearing gas masks.
"Huh" "Huh" Dozens of cloth bags were thrown on top of the Japanese soldiers' heads, still some white powder, ah, it turned out to be all flour. Don't the Chinese soldiers have weapons? Did they count on throwing flour to stop the advance of the Imperial army? "Boom" "Boom"... Several blast points lined the streets, and the bags of flour covered with the explosives burst open, bursting out again with a large amount of flour.
The street where the Japanese troops were located seemed to suddenly stand still, and the dust-filled air contracted violently, and with a loud "boom", the air that was rapidly expanding outward began to become scorching. The earth began to tremble, with a loud bang, and the scorching heat of the dazzling fire swept the mud and sand and tore the entire Japanese army into the air...... The entire street was destroyed by the explosion and disappeared. Large blocks of masonry, earth, and flames were thrown into the sky for dozens of meters, and the dust that covered the sky made people want to cough, and the plugged ears were buzzing, and they could only hear their own heartbeats. The explosion had stopped, but there was still a roar in the ears, nothing could be seen in the thick dust, and all the people who were still alive were choking on the scorching air and coughing.
"Boom" "Boom"..., the explosion began again, it was the explosion of the ammunition carried by the Japanese army, and the ammunition of the martyrdom covered the area again. The detonation of bullets, grenades, and shells once again brought the survivors of the 33rd Wing of the Japanese Army a gift of death. Bang! Boom, boom...... The remaining Japanese troops were instantly covered in smoke and dust, and the human bodies that were blown up in the air and torn into pieces could be seen in the sudden flash of the explosion.
Rumble...... It seemed that the whole earth trembled, and Haneda, who was supervising the battle behind him, was shaken more than a meter high from the ground by a huge blasting force, although the armored car in front of Haneda blocked most of the impact for him, but Haneda's nose also bleed, and he was affected by being so far away, not to mention the Japanese army at the center of the explosion.
The shock waves of the explosion were intertwined, and the flying rubble directly tore some of the hapless Japanese soldiers behind them to shreds. How long did the explosion last? A few minutes or longer? Haneda, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, didn't know that in the muddy, in the hot pain all over his body, although he still couldn't hear any sound in his buzzing ears, he gradually came to his senses and knew that the explosion had stopped.
Haneda, who was slowly coming to his senses, coughed loudly, getting louder and louder, because he wanted to hear his own cough, but his ears were still buzzing. When a person loses his balance, it is difficult to stand firmly, and Haneda stumbles several times when he gets up and falls back down; Then he stood up again, and finally he stood up straight. Shaking his stunned head, Haneda could not see a person or a corpse through the dust that began to become thin, and in front of him was a large staggered pit on the ground, a large pit, and a few places in the pit were burning and dancing fires, which were the ghost fires in the legendary hell.
One, two, three...... More and more bodies were found by him, but not a single living person was found. The sky was full of smoke and dust, and there was nothing to be seen at all, and every step under his feet was a fluttering sound. The area that had been completely destroyed by the explosion was covered with all kinds of debris, and he almost slipped Haneda on his heels when he stepped on one of his intestines, and the smoke and fishy smell made him want to vomit.
Severed limbs and stumps were scattered on the smoky scorched earth, several armored vehicles were parked, flames on their bodies whirring in the scorching sun, and all the soldiers inside were bleeding black from the corners of their mouths and nostrils. Matsuda Shaosa, the captain of the 38th Wing, was also found by him, Matsuda's mouth and nostrils also strangely flowed black blood, and his half-open eyes seemed to be able to see people, and there were no wounds on his body, but the stiffness on his face meant that he was dead.
The streets were as silent as death, and all I could hear was my own heartbeat and my uncontrollable cough. The smoke was very choking, and in this half-suffocating smell, Haneda, who was leaning against the broken wall, had a feeling of drowsiness, as if he was sick, which reminded him of his wife at Nara's house. That time with a high fever, he lay in bed with weakness and drowsiness, and after Reiko gave him medicine, she kept holding his hand until he fell asleep.
"Smack!" A gunshot once again energized the entire battlefield that had become deathly silent, "Sun Erdan, you bastard, you don't have a bayonet, save some bullets." A gruff voice reprimanded the soldier who had just fired. Several soldiers in gas masks walked up to Haneda and said, "Help me, help me." Haneda said stiffly in Chinese.
"Hey, there's still a living little devil here, or a young man, take him to see the chief." The two soldiers of the National Army roughly grabbed Haneda's two arms and dragged him towards the back. More Nationalist soldiers poured into the streets to clean the battlefield, and the hundreds of Nationalist soldiers who cleaned the battlefield were wearing tattered military uniforms, and there were still large patches of dirty blood in the strips of cloth that were haphazardly wrapped around their bodies. The Chinese formal rifle in his hand, the 38 rifle of the Japanese army, and the guns made in Hanyang are all available.
The snow melted by the explosion and blood seeped into the mud in the streets, and the ground became muddy, and every soldier who cleaned the battlefield seemed to have been fished out of the mud, covered in blood and muddy water. A major officer who led the team took the kettle handed by the brother next to him, poured the water into his mouth, and then spit it all out, "What is this going on, Chief Lu?" Let's change into this broken military uniform and these broken guns. We also have to put our military uniforms on the corpses of devils, damn it, I will never eat meat again, these little devils have all become minced meat. ”
Lu Yuan had already hidden most of the people, and now there were only more than 300 people around him, and he planned to ambush the Japanese 33rd Wing and 38th Wing again in the same place. When Lu Yuan gathered a large number of stragglers of the 88th Division of the National Army in the area of Zhonghua Gate, he obtained a large amount of explosives, there were several trading houses in the ambush area he had set, and there were a large number of flour and sugar and other materials in the warehouse, which made Lu Yuan more confident in ambushing the Japanese army again.
After arranging all the illusions to be shown to the Japanese army, Lu Yuan called Haneda Shaozo who was captured, "Haneda Shaozuo, go back and tell your wing commander that we are all soldiers, and war is a matter between soldiers, so you'd better not hurt the people and prisoners of war in Nanjing." If I know that you are killing civilians and prisoners of war, and if you are destined to return to Japan, then please pray to your Amaterasu Okami every day before you go to sleep, and pray that you will not lose this war, otherwise I will kill you in Japan, and I will kill 10 times as many Japanese as I will retaliate. ”
On the forward position, at the forward command post of the Japanese army, Haneda, who was released back by Lu Yuan, was reporting the whole process to Wing Commander Kengo Noda, who seemed to be very interested in Lu Yuan, and did not even let go of details such as Lu Yuan's gestures. After hearing Haneda's report, Kengo Noda stretched out his hand and scratched his head and sighed, "What an elusive fellow, Haneda, do you think that young man is really the superior of those Shina soldiers?" ”
Haneda was confused by Kengo Noda's question, and after thinking about it carefully, Haneda replied respectfully, "Your Excellency Osa, judging from the guns he is holding, they are all American firearms. And he is fluent in Japanese, he knows a lot about Japan, and it is very likely that he has been there. He was supposed to be the son of the upper class of China, and I heard the officers call him Chief. ”
Kengo Noda pondered, "If we can catch him, it might help us in our war in China." ”
"Their soldiers are poorly equipped, and there don't seem to be many bullets, when I left, I saw that they were using our imperial firearms, although they successfully ambushed my brigade, but I saw a lot of their corpses, at least several thousand." Haneda didn't tell Kengo Noda that he was ambushed because of his greed, and he didn't know how Lu Yuan blew them up. He always thought that Lu Yuan had used heavy artillery.
