The War of Resistance

The circular fortification is about fifty or sixty meters away from the bungalow. The outermost is the iron fence, and the innermost one is the circular fortification, and the innermost one is the church with a three-story steeple.

With such fortifications, it would be really difficult if the Japanese army wanted to capture them without using cannons.

Just imagine, if the Japanese army wanted to attack the circular fortification, they had to rush through the outermost iron fence first.

It's just that the defenders also made hands and feet on the iron fence, and barbed wire was hung on it. When the Japanese army rushed through the iron fence, their speed would definitely slow down, and then they would be shot by the defenders in the fortification.

But when the Japanese army used cannons, how long can this kind of fortification last?

The old man in the one-story house who hadn't left Nanjing City didn't dare to make a sound under the scolding of the soldiers.

For him, tonight is destined to be a difficult night.

The rest of the family had already left a few days ago before Nanjing City was besieged, but he was reluctant to have his ancestral property and stayed after all.

It's just that the nearby fortifications were shelled by the Japanese army before, and the windows of his house were smashed by the blasted stones, but now the officers and soldiers guarding the city broke in again, and he doesn't know if he can survive the night .

But at this time, naturally no one would pay attention to him.

"Boss, do you think the people inside will break through?" Bai Zhan, who was lying on the window looking out, asked Shang Zhen.

Bai Zhan has only been with Shang Zhen and the others for a few days, but he has followed suit, and he has also learned what Shang Zhen's group called Shang Zhen.

"That depends on whether the little devil's firepower is fierce or not, it must be fierce, and it must not be too fierce." Shang Zhen replied in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Before Bai Zhan could ask again, Yu Zuolong asked beside him.

Shang Zhen didn't want to explain, but in fact he didn't need to explain, because at this time the Japanese army fired again.

In that "boom", Shang Zhen saw another explosion on the second floor of the church. It's just that this time the cannonball hit the middle of the second floor. Since the caliber of the cannonball was not too large, the bricks and tiles were blocked by the church wall and did not fly over.

It's still the kind of cannon with three legs like a water spider, Shang Zhen sighed inwardly.

Since the explosion was estimated to have occurred in the middle of the church, it must have been hit by direct fire from the Japanese army, and since he did not hear the roar of Japanese tanks nearby, it could only be the direct fire from the Japanese army that bombarded the church.

I hope that the defenders in the circular fortification can overcome difficulties and break through, otherwise, if the bombardment continues like this, no matter how many officers and soldiers there are in this church, it is doomed to a dead end!

What Shang Zhen just said about whether the firepower of the Japanese army is strong or not means that if the firepower of the Japanese army is very strong, the church will be blown down directly, and the people inside will not care about breaking through or holding on.

However, the firepower of the Japanese army not only showed its powerful side, but it could not kill all the defenders inside for the time being, so the defenders inside would want to break out of the encirclement.

While Shang Zhen was thinking, the Japanese artillery fired again, but this time the Japanese artillery shelled the circular fortifications outside the church. Amidst the explosion, there was a sudden rise of smoke and dust, and even some fine particles I don't know if it was bricks or other sundries flying towards Shang Zhen and the others, and then there were "dangdang" and "cracking" sounds from the roof above their heads.

"A few more cannonballs, not to mention whether this church can be blown down, maybe the church spire can be knocked down." At this time, a soldier in the gendarmerie sighed.

"Not necessarily, the little devil's cannon has a shooting angle, and it can't be lifted that high." At this time, the officer said.

Shang Zhen's heart was moved when he heard the officer's words, he instinctively thought that what the officer said was right.

Yes, the direct-firing gun of the Japanese army looks like a large heavy machine gun. How high it can shoot depends on the height of the bracket. He remembered that the bracket was not very high. It seems that the Japanese gun is still It was impossible to hit the steeple of that church.

Shouldn't churches belong to Europeans and Americans? Shang Zhen thought again, why did we Chinese occupy there and build fortifications, and the Japanese army did not go to war with Europe and the United States, so how dare they attack the church.

A question arose in Shang Zhen's mind, but he was relieved immediately. There are many things in the war that cannot be explained clearly, so what if you don't understand? After all, it has nothing to do with what they want to save people today.

And just as Shang Zhen was thinking wildly, the twilight deepened, and the visibility had already begun to decrease.

If the defenders want to break out, they may be waiting for dark, but it won't work after dark. The Japanese army has flares! Shang Zhen thought again.

But at this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly heard the sound of "chug chug" and "chug chug" machine gun fire.

In that voice, not only Shang Zhen, but also other officers and soldiers were also inspired. Sure enough, there are people of our own in that church!

Because they saw the red line with bullets and the light flying through the darkening twilight to somewhere in front of them to their right.

The red line, that is produced by the bullet flying in the dark night, but the bright light is more like a bright meteor, it is a tracer bullet!

But when they looked at the place where the bullet flew out, it was somewhere on the steeple of the church. Shang Zhen knew that there was a small window there, which should be the attic of the church.

But just as the defenders started shooting, gunshots rang out around the church, and the Japanese army also started shooting.

As bystanders, Shang Zhen and the others could see clearly that the bullets of the Japanese army gathered towards the steeple of the church like locusts.

But at this time, the shooting on the steeple of the church was sparse compared with the Japanese army, but it continued. It seems that the defenders also knew that it was not an option. Maybe they wanted to shoot up the bullets that were not used at all. Let's vent our hatred for the invaders!

"Nobody shoot, I hope they come to us," said the officer loudly.

Surrounded on three sides, they are the only ones who can spare one side, so if those defenders want to break out of the siege, where will they go if they don't come here?

To say that what the officer thought was not bad, but at this time, Shang Zhen suddenly said: "I think we should shoot a few shots there as well, showing that the firepower is weak.

In this way, the Japanese army will not become suspicious, and our people think that the firepower here is weak, so they will break through here.

Otherwise, if we don't fire a single shot here, will they think this is a trap set by the Japanese army? "

"You think a lot!" Just after Shang Zhen put forward his opinion, someone among the military police sarcastically said.

Shang Zhen stopped talking. After all, there are higher-ranking officers here, and there is no one of his own, so he only has the right to make suggestions.

And the officer frowned, he thought for a while and finally thought that what Shang Zhen said had some truth.

Maybe Shang Zhen thought too much, but if the defenders really didn't break out in this direction, then they would stay here in vain.

If gunfire rang out from all directions, as long as their gunfire was weak, the defenders would definitely have no other ideas and would break out of the encirclement here.

In this way, it is also a surefire strategy!

"Go to some people and pick up two guns from the little devil we killed." The officer ordered.

Since they also want to pretend to be the Japanese army, it is natural to use the 38-type rifles of the Japanese army. All of them now use either Chinese-made rifles or tricks.
