Chapter 214 Fire Attack

"Dong, Dong..."

From time to time, there was a golden sound from the steel bulletproof of the rapid-fire mountain cannon when it was hit by bullets. After the mountain cannon was pushed to the center of the road, the artillery behind the cannon shield immediately put down the bullet box on its back and took out a shell from it. The copper belt of the shell scattered some copper light in the sun.

"Wock!"

The 88mm shell was stuffed into the gun.

Boom... With the sound of artillery, a group of cannon flames gushed out in the middle of the street. At the same time, the ashes were swept away by the muzzle shock wave. In the offensive battle, the mountain cannon accompanying the infantry's attack became the most favorable helper for the infantry. The direct shot mountain cannon was very accurate. After the barricade set up by the Japanese army on the street was hit, it was immediately blown up into a pile of powder and guarded. The soldiers of the barricade were blown up into the sky.

"I hit it!"

The soldiers shouted in their hearts, but there was no trace of excitement on their faces. Almost at the moment when the barricade was hit, the soldiers on both sides of the road immediately jumped forward by the smoke of gunpowder. In the smoke, the enemy's bullets shot like raindrops, almost no interruption. The soldiers who were charging were hit by bullets. After that, the bullets coming out of the body dragged a cloud of blood, but death could not stop their footsteps.

"Bang, bang..."

Jumping over the destroyed barricade, Wei Ze fired dozens of bullets at several squirming figures with a submachine gun, and then immediately lay on the ground, waiting for the artillery to shell again.

Beside him, Wu Zhenhua pointed a rifle at the side warily. Today is the second day of the attack on Kagawa. In the past two days of battles, the painful price has made them learn how to fight, to be precise, how to face those hostile people.

Often at this time, the most important thing to be careful is not even the soldiers in military uniforms, but the soldiers who are in military uniforms. They will suddenly rush out of the room and waving knives to slash the soldiers closest to him. Because of this, there are no rules of engagement here.

"All living people are enemies!"

"Safe on the left!"

As soon as Wu Zhenhua shouted, he listened to the sergeant shouting loudly.

"Grenade!"

The next second, a grenade was thrown over with smoke, and the squeaking grenade happened to be in the middle of the street. If the grenade explodes in this unobstructed street, even if everyone is lying on the ground, there may be someone... Just then, suddenly a figure jumped over, which was the distance. The closest injured person to the grenade.

"Ah..."

He almost desperately rushed on the smoky grenade.

At the moment when everyone was stunned by this scene and held his breath, the grenade exploded under the wounded man, and blood and flesh scattered on the street. A dark shadow flew in front of him. Before Wei Ze dodged, a ball of blood was hit in his face. Everyone could feel his body and soul at the moment of explosion. They were all shocked.

"Kill..."

In an instant, everyone only felt that their brains were hot, their eyes were red, and the dull and silent attack suddenly changed. A roar burst out from their voices. Like his comrades-in-arms around him, Wei Ze also rushed desperately with a submachine gun to the barricade in the distance, and the bullet was beside the attacking officers and soldiers. Passing by, a soldier was knocked to the ground from time to time. The moment when he finally rushed to the barricade, the submachine gun in Wei Ze's hand sounded, and the blood fog rose under the barricade at his feet. The light machine gunners and submachine gunners all jumped onto the barricade.

Forcibly conquered a barricade. Looking at the Japanese army fleeing backwards, while changing the magazine, Wei Ze chased after him. The soldiers who were full of anger completely forgot the requirement of "don't attack". Finally, it was not until five or six soldiers were knocked down in a row that Wei Ze blew the whistle. Stop the attack.

Before the artillery was pushed up, they had no way to do anything about the barricade, and they could only let their anger fill their hearts.

"Hur, I'll try it on the roof!"

While talking, Wu Zhenhua, who was covered in blood, took out two grenades from the grenade bag of Wei Ze and smashed the wooden door beside him.

He broke into the empty room and into the yard. At the moment when he saw a figure flashing, Wu Zhenhua stabbed the figure with a bayonet without hesitation.

"Ah..."

A childlike scream came into his ears, but Wu Zhenhua did not hesitate at all. He turned the gun hard. At the moment of pulling out the gun, he noticed that he had killed a child who was only eight or nine years old. He was stunned in an instant. At this time, a woman's scream came from his ear, a The woman ran out of the inner room. At this time, a few gunshots came from behind Wu Zhenhua, and the woman in a kimono fell to the ground.

After knocking down the woman with a submachine gun, Wei Ze roared at the stunned Wu Zhenhua.

"Quick! Go to the house!"

While talking, Wei Ze stepped on the wall and jumped on the roof three times, and then several soldiers climbed up.

"Be careful!"

After running more than 20 meters along the roof, I looked up and looked down. After looking at the barricades piled up in the sandbags below, dozens of Japanese soldiers and civilians were shooting desperately there.

Five grenades were asked from the hands of subordinates, tied directly into a bundle with their feet, twisted the safety cover of the grenade in turn, and pulled the detonation line. The grenade suddenly emitted white smoke.

"One, two, three, four"

When the time was four, Wei Ze fiercely waved his arm and threw the grenade over, and then quickly lay on the roof.

"Boom..."

After the violent explosion, five or six soldiers immediately pulled the trigger down from the roof.

When the battle was white-hot, Zhao Gang's eyes stared at the barricade. He paced back and forth. When he saw the wounded soldiers being lifted off the line of fire, he looked at the blood gushing out of the wounded's wounds, and his whole heart was full of anger.

There are more and more sacrifices of the troops, but there is almost no progress in the battle. I, who guarded Kagawa, poured my last strength and resisted desperately. If it goes on like this, the losses of the army will only be greater and greater.

"Camp commander, the south wind is blowing! Let's..."

"Order the troops to retreat, set fire, burn, and burn these bastards!"

A new order came out of Zhao Gang's mouth. When the order was reached, the bugle immediately blew up the bugle, and the soldiers carrying kerosene barrels at the same time began to pour kerosene towards the nearby buildings.

Near noon, when the north wind blew, several attacking troops lit the fire at the same time. First, they lit the houses that had been poured with kerosene. The fire instantly ignited the wooden Japanese buildings, and then the flames were connected like a tide in just a few minutes, burning the body of the Japanese in the street. The flames were helped by the wind. Spreading to the north, thick smoke enveloped the whole battlefield. In the dazzling midday sun, the flames that were difficult to see were burning brightly, rolling towards the control area of the Japanese army, while the attacking troops followed behind the flames and quickly occupied the areas that had just withdrawn.

Following behind the flames, Wei Ze can feel the heat of the flames. In the fire, there are bursts of screams from time to time. Occasionally, you can also hear the shouts of women. In the flames, you can even see enemies burning all over the flames running back and forth.

"Don't kill them, let them burn!"

Whenever I see a burning fireman rushing out of the flame, someone will always shout.

On this day, when the sun was still high, it had captured only more than 200 meters away from the wharf. The fire attack had a wonder effect. The barricade, which used to pay for life every 100 meters on the front line, collapsed in front of this unexpected fire attack, and the enemy had to retreat backwards.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the battle came to an end. The troops who hit the river sat down on the street that had been completely burned by the flames. Although shells hit from time to time, the soldiers still straightened their legs and sat on the still hot slate road. The fierce battle made them tired, even their eyes. I don't want to open it.

In addition to the smell of burning firewood, the surrounding air is also mixed with a burning smell of meat, which is the smell of the burned body. Around the soldiers, you can occasionally see the burned into charcoal. The soldiers took out the dry food from the dry food bags and quietly ate the compressed cake. Dry, and then drink the water roasted by the flames.

On the stone pillar of a stone plaque, a soldier wrote with a pen, "Yanhuang 4601, May 1, the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division occupied!"

At night, the streets and alleys of Kagawa County were still in raging fire, including fires caused by shelling, but more of them were set off by the offensive troops. In some blocks of the city, the red-eyed soldiers were cleaning up the resisters door by door. The gunfire sounded in the occupied area all night, and this is Kagawa County. In the last battle, the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the soldiers who hit the port and the fish viewing platform looked at the half of the burned city behind them and finally took a breath.

The battle is over!

After the end of the battle, more than 20,000 citizens who survived in Kagawa County were driven to the urban area destroyed by the fire, where the army set up refugee areas. In other areas of the street, almost no one was seen. Only middle [***] people wandered on the street and collected all kinds of materials everywhere.

All the shops on the street were either burned down or expropriated. Kagawa County was full of desolation. Everything in the city that could be called materials did not exist, either destroyed by artillery fire, destroyed by flames, or requisitioned.

Walking in the streets of Kagawa, the bleak scenery on the road touched Zhao Gang.

"Kagawa Castle is ruined like this! The victory or defeat of the war is another matter, because this war is not carried out in China, so I feel very lucky that in the face of foreign invasion, a country loses wealth, the people have no food and clothing, and the situation of women is even more tragic. If all this happens in China, what will you think?

Wei Ze, who followed the battalion commander, looked at the scene in front of him.

"It is indeed very tragic to be the defeated party in the war. The situation in the capital was not much better than this in those years. I think that you can't treat the war as a child's play. If you want to fight, you have to win no matter what. That is to say, if you owe debt to your grandchildren, if you fight to your grandson's debt, you must win, otherwise..."

The look of Wei Ze, who once guarded the Qing army and guarded the capital division, changed slightly.

"Otherwise, it is still the common people who suffer!"

At this time, his team of captured Japanese soldiers and national stand-up troops walked towards the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city under the escort of the gendarmerie, but a few soldiers rushed over here.

"Kill these bastards, kill the little Japanese!"

A soldier shouted, and then stabbed a Japanese prisoner's chest with a bayonet. When the gendarmes tried to stop them, several more soldiers rushed over. For a moment, the screams kept echoing on the street. No one used guns, they all with bayonets. After a short time, there were dozens of corpses on the ground. And the gendarmes looked at these angrily.

Finally, a sergeant gendarmerie pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger, when everyone was stunned.

"Enough, enough, my brothers, those stand-up teams, you can do whatever you want, but these people, they are prisoners..."

"No, kill them, kill them all!"

And Zhao Gang and Wei Ze just stared at the scene in front of them. Both of them knew that at this time, the actions of those angry soldiers could not be stopped at all. The war changed a lot of things. Just like, at this time, they saw Wu Zhenhua and Song Pengcheng smiling towards the refugees. The direction of the battalion was walking, and even Chen Mingtian was among them. In the exciting war, everyone became indifferent and indifferent to everything. As a result, they became a cynical soldier. In addition to maintaining the trust between brothers and friends, they also became interested in the bad habits between soldiers and learned quickly. It is completely a kind of self-depravity, just like changing from a good student to a little hooligan. Not only are they not ashamed of this kind of depravity, but they are proud of opposing this kind of depravity. They will even boast to others.

"Me, I'm not going to play with women,"

"I can also get a woman!"

"I stabbed myself to death with a bayonet!"

"I will also set the house on fire!"

At this time, Wei Ze heard the words of Chen Mingtian and the people next to him in the distance.

"Do you know these two poems, "The businesswoman does not know the hatred of the subjugation of the country, and sings ** across the river"? I'm going to comfort the souls of those subjugated daughters..."

Chen Mingtian's sharp change only made Wei Ze sigh in his heart. This man always becomes too fast!

"It seems that everyone enjoys the freedom of the winner!"

Zhao Gang shook his head and sighed, and then he looked at Wei Ze again.

"Let them indulge for a few days first. After two days, you have to clean them up!"

"Yes, sir!"

In response, Wei Ze looked at some shops that had just opened next to him. They were some Chinese businessmen who came from Kochi. They were allowed to open several restaurants here, and the soldiers visited these small restaurants in groups. In addition to the food in the barracks, the soldiers could only eat something. In Chinese restaurants, more merchants sell goods to themselves in the name of opening a "military store".

In the refugee area, there is a shortage of daily necessities. More and more people come out to buy things after receiving the certificate of conscience. When they take out their banknotes to buy things, but the merchants refused to sell them, and then drove them out of the store. In groups of people who could not buy things, they wandered in front of the store in confusion. Wearing suits or kimonos, they look at the Chinese soldiers who eat and play with a dull expression, from which they can also see the tragic situation of the defeated people.

Correspondingly, soldiers are very interested in those things such as their own jewelry, which can be remembered or given as gifts. Although most of these soldiers can't do business, after all, they also carry guns and often buy one with a one or two yuan military voucher. Necklace, a few cents to buy a ring, but they didn't know that they would use this two yuan or a few cents to buy an enamel plate, a plate for five cents, and a dollar to buy twenty. Then he lowered his head and took the twenty plates back to the refugee area, where they would sell them for a dime or more. In refugee areas where money can't buy anything, anything can be used for sale, and the price is very high. Some women even seduce soldiers to exchange their bodies for food and living materials.

The refugee camp is managed by the gendarmes. There are sentries standing on the border line. After receiving the good people's certificate, the refugees put on the white cloth armbands with "Y" written on them. Then they went around the streets, and finally returned to the refugee camp disappointedly. They all looked sad, and most people's homes were burned down. Yes.

"Three packs of cigarettes, a lot!"

Holding three packs of cigarettes in his hand, Song Pengcheng discussed with the gendarmes guarding the refugee camp. Compared with the urban area, the refugee camp is very safe, and there are gendarmes who are responsible for protection.

But the gendarmes were half-closed and didn't see three packs of cigarettes.

"I still have a small knife here, you see..."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. When you go to the refugee camp, you can coax a woman with a steamed bun. This woman should get at least 50 cents in the memorial yard... You, one, two, three, four..."

"Hey hey, brother, you are so dark..."

No way, Song Pengcheng took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

"Yeah, brother, I'll quit smoking!"

"Hey hey..." At this time, the guard's gendarme smiled with satisfaction, put the cigarette in his pocket, and then clicked the refugee camp with his chin and said.

"You have to take it easy, don't be strong, otherwise, I can't tell..."

"Well, well, well, you see, our brother is like a strong person. Didn't I bring a bag of things? At that time, this thing will swing there, and those women ran to me one by one, crying and begging me to ask him..."

"Damn Chinese!"

Koizumi West Village, whose leg was injured by shrapnel, saw another group of soldiers walking into the refugee camp and setting up a stall beside the barbed wire. He couldn't help scolding. Looking at the women's faces became extremely ugly, those women lost their faces.
