Chapter 138 Barrier (Part 2)

(... They used mines to hit the Japanese ships without warships. They went ashore to fight land without mines. Although they were not the main force on the main battlefield, they participated in almost all southern battlefield battles. When they heard that when the Americans asked them to receive warships, they found that many of the troops in this army who were later added could not swim... This almost completely disabled unit always had six words when asked about the number: Navy, Chinese Navy... Excerpted from "Grandpa's Memories of the War of Resistance")

Changqing, "Call Zi", "Lao Bengya"... Brothers, are you okay? Cao Xiaomin received an order to let him go to the city to rescue Sun Yuanliang, but his mind was full of those brothers who crawled out of the dead with him.

Just when he was pushed closer by the three Japanese, and when he felt desperately unable to fight, what suddenly flashed through his mind was the little movements of the brothers who were on the position and among the dead; it was not the fighting movements but their usual moves. He saw Sun Changqing and Erye laughing with a child of one big and one young, and he saw that the crow was holding a grass root in his mouth but still could imitate the birds' screams... At that moment, Cao Xiaomin felt that he would die, as if his brothers were calling him in another world.

The "Northeastern man" opened fire in the distance to save him. He once again turned the danger under the Blood Brother's gun, which made him miss the old brothers even more. Many of them came from Jiangbei because of him, but where are they now? They are still fighting to the death on the ruins between the Zhonghua Gate and Guanghua Gate? Or are they running away with wounds in the narrow streets and alleys of Nanjing? He missed them too much, at least he had to know the situation of his brothers; even if it was bad news, the brothers all died in battle, he had to know that it was better than those who were worried about it!

Yes! There was only one word, and he had no other expression, so he obeyed the order to go to the city, because his brothers were all in the city!

"Report to the commander..." Liu Qing finally barely understood what the other party was saying from the word of the messenger, but he had no time to take care of it. The roof of the Yijiangmen Tower was covered with smoke and dust, and no one could be seen two meters away. He really admired that this messenger could find himself among so many people with gray faces. The position could no longer be commanded, and the Japanese mortar shells were densely filled with shrapnel flying, not to mention looking at the Japanese outside the city tower, they were standing on the city tower and could be shot every second! At this time, the Yijiangmen battlefield was completely the officers and soldiers fighting for themselves, relying on their own combat experience and the fighting spirit of death, fighting for two more enemies to go on the road together.

The Japanese attack before dawn was completely crazy. Under the cover of mortars, ladders were laid on the city tower one by one, and the siege troops that could not see the edge were like attacks in the cold weapon era. Unlike in the past, the Japanese devils were willing to spare their lives. No matter how many bricks and stones were smashed or how many bullets were poured out, they just rushed! They no longer only attacked the main position on the roof of the city tower, and the shooting holes on the city walls became their targets; many Japanese climbed up desperately as if they were just to throw a bundle of grenades into the shooting holes. When they finally threw the grenades into the end, they were often knocked down by the explosion air waves and screamed and fell among the siege people.

When every bundle of grenades thrown into the city explodes, a spark will be sprayed at the shooting port on the city wall, and then a smoke will be left on the city wall; that hole will not even be shot out for a long time... The Kuomintang officers and soldiers in the passage are terrible, and the bodies that were blown to pieces are trampled everywhere in the corridor. Every living person is deaf, some are temporary, and more are permanently deaf!

In a narrow space, cluster grenade explosion can shock most people affected by deafness. Those who faint often inhale a lot of thick smoke when they are unconscious, and they can never wake up again. Once some officers and soldiers wake up and adapt to the dim vision, they will continue their inner shouts in their silent world, holding the wall and standing up staggeringly to continue fighting; they don’t know why they fight at that moment, fighting is just an instinct...

There was an emergency on the city tower, and every shooting port on the city wall was an emergency. Liu Qing didn't know how many Japanese men came into the city tower, but gunfire sounded on all passages in the city tower...

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a rush of various debris and choking smoke from the passage suddenly rushed out, bringing the three or four soldiers who were already hiding on both sides of the passage entrance to the ground.

"Don't be anxious! Don't go in!" Xing Long shouted loudly. Although he knew that the soldiers could not hear what he was shouting, he still couldn't help but shout... The battle conditions in the passages inside the city tower were more suffocating than on the city tower. Grenades and explosives exploded in the narrow passages, and the air waves with nowhere to vent were raging around the passages. Sometimes a grenade could make all the people on both sides of a long aisle faint. Except for the soldiers on both sides who were dying at the intersection of each branch passage, there were only corpses in the passage;

It is incomplete and charred. The living people cannot see their existence at all. It is only noticed when they tripped over the newly rushed in soldiers. Even though they knew that the people rushing into the passage would definitely go but the soldiers from both sides lined up and waited on the side of the passage, waiting for the moment when they were torn to pieces... At this moment, Xing Long actually received a transfer order, asking him to leave his brothers who fought bloody battles! He wanted to tear the transfer order to pieces but at the last moment he saw the signer of the transfer order with the words Cao Xiaomin written on the signator...

The Japanese came in, it was over! "Kaozi"'s heart was as cold as water, but he was exhausted and felt a sense of relief at this moment: it was over, everything was over, and he tried his best... Then he collapsed on the city tower, waiting for the last moment to arrive...

When the Japanese armored vehicles filled with explosives finally rushed into the door, the Kuomintang soldiers on the city tower were stunned. They looked at the Japanese soldiers who retreated like the tide and knew why the Japanese retreated. They used wounded soldiers to hang grenades or explosives packs to slash the enemy like Cao Xiaomin told them, but they only succeeded once, detonated the first Japanese armored vehicles under the city tower, and the earth-shaking explosion killed the Japanese everywhere. But later the Japanese quickly adjusted their tactics and concentrated all their firepower to a small city that could threaten the armored vehicles. The defenders could not even jump into the city attack. Every soldier full of grenades was knocked into a sieve or even torn apart by bullets as soon as they emerged. The Japanese mortars also intensively bombarded the area above the door, and the defenders could not get close to the battlements of the city walls in that area!

Sad, desperate, but not panic, because the people on the city tower no longer knew what life and death were. Some officers and soldiers in the fierce battle even felt relieved... "Boom!" The huge mushroom cloud rose and covered it for a long time...

This is the last barrier for tens of thousands of people to cross the coal port! This is the line of life and death that must not be taken back half a step. Every officer and soldier are fighting to the death and rushing towards the Japanese... But Cao Xiaomin was about to leave. The sky above his head was still dark, but it was strange that Cao Xiaomin found that he could see many things clearly. The sky in the distance turned out to be white. Could it be that there was still a distinction between darkness and light under the same sky? Could it be that this sky belonging to Nanjing can only be so dark today!?

"...Navy, Chinese Navy..." The voice of the leader of the team was still in his ears, but he and his brothers, and every soldier who were fighting on this land, had all rushed into the morning mist, and they were counterattacking!

"We have no choice but to use the tactic of fighting to scare the Japanese away. When the Japanese see the situation in the coal port, they will attack hard. We can't stop it at all, so we can only counterattack!" This is the tactical deployment of Cao Xiaomin to those troops who supported them, the former students from the Lightning and Thunder School. He knew this unit, and he believed that their decisive attack would make the Japanese tremble!... They used mines to hit the Japanese ships without warships, and they went to the shore without mines.

When fighting land warfare, although they are not the main force on the main battlefield, they participated in almost all southern battlefield battles. When they heard that the Americans asked them to receive warships, they found that many of the troops in this army who were later added could not swim... This almost completely disabled unit always had six words when asked about the number: Navy, Chinese Navy... Grandpa had told him long ago what unit was coming to support him this time: Navy, Chinese Navy!

The sky was actually bright, but the officers and soldiers on the battlefield were always covered with smoke that could not be dispersed, so they only saw that it was dark. In the open wilderness, in the smoke of gunpowder, more than 400 Chinese Democratic Party soldiers were launching a decisive charge against the Japanese. They were like the group of Sichuan kids in the Shao family war, pounced at the Japanese, shot with guns, and stabbed with bayonets. When they saw that there were too many Japanese in front of them, they directly pulled the grenade and rushed on... The Kuomintang army's hungry wolf-like counterattack caught the Japanese off guard. Their vanguards were defeated by the more than 400 Marines, and they shouted to kill Lian Tian in the wilderness. These Chinese Democratic Party soldiers only made the last batch of ships leave the port safely for one purpose!

The Chinese Navy in front of us launched the last attack by the Chinese Democratic Party soldiers before the end of the Nanjing Defense War. The Yifeng Gate in the distance may have become the most magnificent among the countless tombs in Nanjing, and the Yijiang Gate further away... Cao Xiaomin only followed the "Northeastern Man", "Lao Chai Pi" and "Little Sichuan", so he had to go to the other two city gates to find more brothers, because he had to enter the city, and there were more brothers in the city...
