Chapter 265: The Curtain Opens
As Yuichi Toshiya expected, among the ruins and rubble piles east of the Xindu Theater, there were indeed ambushing the 367th Regiment's ambush, and the number was more than a thousand!
In addition to the necessary left-behind troops, Zhong Yi brought all the troops that could be mobilized!
Listening to the increasingly fierce gunfire and shouting in the safe area, and looking at the increasingly brighter firelight, Zhong Yi's pair of tiger eyes became unprecedentedly bright in the darkness!
Are the defeated soldiers of more than 100,000 national troops in the safe zone finally awakening?
Is the curtain of the Nanjing Defense War finally going to kick off again?
Turning around and looking back, the eyes of the battalion commanders such as Chi Peng, Zhao Hanxing, He Yunpeng, Liang Feng, Niu Dan, Hu Qing, Guo Weiquan, Yuan Qiang, Li Sifu behind him fell on Zhong Yi at the same time.
Zhong Yi and Leng Jun's eyes swept across the faces of these battalion company commanders and said, "Do you know your respective missions?"
"I'm clear!" The nine battalion company commanders responded with a loud bang. At this time, there was no need to worry about being discovered by the Japanese. Anyway, they would soon launch a strong attack on the fortifications set up by the Japanese on Zhongshan Road!
"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But I still want to emphasize again. After breaking through the defense line of Zhongshan Road, remember not to fight. This time, your mission is not to fight the Japanese, but to mobilize the National Army defeated troops in the safe area and bring all the National Army defeated troops back to Xinjiekou. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The nine battalion company commanders responded again.
"Set out!" After Zhong Yi said that, he waved his hand, and more than 1,500 officers and soldiers who were originally ambushed in the ruins and rubble immediately took all kinds of guns, jumped up, and rushed to the Zhongshan Road ahead.
The machine gun team responsible for the cover also mounted dozens of Civil 24 heavy machine guns, pouring the fierce heavy machine gun fire on the Japanese sentry and patrol team on Zhongshan Road. At the same time, the Japanese machine guns at several strong fire points across the street were fired against them. The dazzling bullet trajectory instantly covered the night sky.
Amidst the dazzling trajectory and the fierce gunfire, the 367th Regiment launched a tide-like charge towards Zhongshan Road.
The Japanese were more than enough to resist the raids of small troops, but it was very difficult to resist the fierce attacks of the main force of thousands of people. In a moment, the attack troops of the 367th Regiment broke through the defense line and overflowed Zhongshan Road like a tide and entered the western security zone.
...
Safety zone.
At this time, refugee shelters of all sizes were already in riots.
The Transportation Building is one of the 25 large refugee shelters in the safe area. It houses nearly 5,000 refugees, of which at least more than 1,000 were defeated national troops who took off their military uniforms.
At this moment, refugees and national army defeated soldiers hiding in the traffic building have begun to attack the gate.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!" A strong national defeated soldier shook the iron gate of the traffic building and shouted at the security guard outside the door, "Open the door quickly and let us out!"
Immediately afterwards, more defeated national troops flocked to him.
"Open the door, open it quickly!"
"Let us out!"
"We're going out!"
Looking at the angry defeated soldiers of the National Army, several guards outside the gate panicked.
"Go back, go back!" The leading guard calmed himself and said sternly, "Go back to sleep!"
"Why are you still sleeping?" The leading national army defeated soldiers said angrily, "The entire safety zone is in chaos!"
"There is no problem with the safe area!" The leading guard said sternly, "Chairman Rabe and others will ensure the safety of the safe area. Only when you stay in the traffic building will safety be guaranteed, and going outside will be a dead end!"
"Who the hell are you shaking?" The leading defeated soldiers of the National Army said furiously, "The Japanese have rushed into the safe zone, killed people and set fires everywhere, and said that they can ensure our safety, what a shame! Open the door quickly!"
At this time, more defeated national troops flocked to us and their emotions began to lose control.
Immediately afterwards, the defeated troops of the National Army, who were out of control, began to climb the iron gate and the wall.
A dozen guards guarding outside the iron gate tried to stop them, but were quickly submerged.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the iron gate of the transportation building was opened, and the defeated troops of the national army crowded inside the iron gate and refugees rushed out like a flood that broke the dam.
At this time, a squad of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers passed by outside the Traffic Building.
Looking at the refugees rushing out of the traffic building, more than a dozen Japanese subconsciously raised the 38th cover and aimed at it!
"Ghosts, there are ghosts!" Almost at the same time, refugees and defeated troops from the traffic building also discovered this team of ghosts. The people in front of them instinctively wanted to stop, but the people behind could not stop at all, and pushed the people in front to continue moving forward, rushing towards the ghosts like a flood.
Seeing the refugee tide coming, there was no sign of stopping, more than a dozen Japanese Japanese shot.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!" A crisp gunshot rang by, and more than a dozen refugees rushing to the front of the crowd fell into pools of blood, and were soon flooded by the surging crowd.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers pulled their heads and tried to push the bomb into the chamber again.
Unfortunately, there was no chance. The surging crowd had already rushed to them. Except for a Japanese man who responded quickly, turned around and ran back in advance, and escaped by luck. The remaining dozen Japanese man were instantly submerged!
These dozen Japanese devils came to China and were beaten to death in many fierce battles, but were in Nanjing. Tonight, they were trampled to death by thousands of refugees!
After crushing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to death, refugees who surged out of the traffic building fled instinctively along the street.
But after running less than a hundred meters, sharp whistles sounded at the north and south sides of the street at the same time.
Accompanied by the whistle, teams of Japanese soldiers carrying guns and ammunition appeared on both ends of the street, and the Japanese soldiers arrived!
After discovering the refugee tide on the street, the Japanese brigade who rushed over from both north and south immediately set up machine guns and fired wildly at the refugee tide.
In an instant, the refugees fell down one by one.
But at this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly sounded behind the Japanese. Immediately afterwards, teams of national troops held submachine guns and rifles came out of the darkness and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese from behind.
After a short period of time, the Japanese who rushed over from both north and south were killed and injured.
The terrified refugees were a little confused when they looked at the two national troops that suddenly came out.
However, the defeated soldiers of the National Army who were hiding among the refugees saw the trick, as if they were from the 367th Regiment!
At this moment, a defeated army in the National Army asked, "Brother, are you the 367th Regiment guarding Xinjiekou?"
"That's right, we are from the 367th Regiment!" The Kuomintang army immediately responded, "Looking at how you are, you should be a soldier, right? The Japanese are about to massacre the city. If you don't want to die, hurry to Xinjiekou!"
"But, I don't have a gun, how can I fight against the Japanese?"
"Gun? Our 367th Regiment has more!"
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go now."
"I'm the one!"
Chapter completed!
