Memoirs of a Veteran
"Hello, Uncle Wang. Can we continue to talk about the deeds of the Nanjing street battle today?”The next morning, the reporters continued to visit Wang Xi's house.
"I was really embarrassed yesterday!" Uncle Wang limped to a recliner with his walking stick.
"We have never seen hell! We don't have the right to laugh!" the reporter said seriously.
"Nanjing street battle! Nanjing Street Battle!"
After receiving the command from the division headquarters, my company was split into nine squads and scattered in the city. The distance was not too far, about 100 meters. There were ruins everywhere, wails and cries, and burning houses! Under the leadership of the squad leader, we seized a house and waited inside, waiting for the Japanese army to come and ambush them!
Nanjing University! The armies of both sides were limited, so if they really wanted to sweep through Nanjing City, they would need at least 100,000 people to act together. However, at that time, it was not suitable for such a method of fighting. The Japanese army also split into small teams and teams to search from the base of the city wall in a fan shape.
"I squeezed my hands!"
Because the house we were in really made people suspect that there was an ambush!，It was also because of this that one of our brothers died there. It had been too long, and I even remembered his name! But he was very brave! He was really brave and saved all of us.
A Japanese soldier found us under the eaves and threw a grenade. When we saw the smoking grenade coming in through the window, we thought we were dead!
At that moment, a brother from our class threw himself at the grenade! The grenade blew a big hole in his chest! The shrapnel crushed his internal organs on the spot and he died without even saying a last word!
We didn't even have time to place his body. We raised our guns and counterattacked. At the same time, we shifted our positions. This kind of house was too easy to attack. We learned from the later stages that the more perfect the house, the less we would enter. This was because it was very likely that a grenade or a rifle grenade would fly in from outside the window.
After repelling the Japanese team, we moved to the west side of the 2nd squad and looked after each other. There were gunshots and explosions everywhere in the city. If the two sides met, it would be a white knife entering and red knife coming out. We were trained according to the German Wehrmacht. Before the battle, we would put the bayonet on and open the safety at the same time to open fire at any time!
After the 2nd squad was attacked by the Japanese army, we touched the right wing of the Japanese army from the west and launched an attack. Not long after the battle started, the Japanese army had a tank accompanied by two teams of Japanese soldiers.
The cannon shot exploded on the high ground occupied by Class 2. Two soldiers were sent flying down. They died on the spot after flying more than nine meters! At that time, there were no weapons to deal with tanks, only light weapons and some grenades! Normal bullets wouldn't be able to penetrate a tank.
What if he couldn't penetrate it? Then he could only use human lives to fill the gap! The two suicide squad members of Class 2 rushed forward with three grenades tied together. The Japanese were not stupid and would not let you succeed so easily. The two suicide squad members were killed by the Japanese before they could run far.
How did it blow up in the end? He had exchanged his life for it! A soldier was playing dead with a grenade, waiting for the tank to come over and pull the fuse to blow up the Japanese tank. He had nothing left!
"Wipe your tears!"
The rest of Class 2 merged with our class. We supported each other in the alley and fought the Japanese until night fell. We were relieved. The night was our best cover because our military uniforms were rock gray. They were not as eye-catching as the Japanese military uniforms. Our helmets were also black.
In order not to let the Japanese army discover us, we didn't even dare to light up at night. However, the Japanese army wasn't idle. From time to time, they would fire flares into the sky. It was like a big lamp shining in the sky. At this time, the Japanese army would advance.
When the Japanese came, we fired back. As for how many people were killed, God knows! The battle lasted for an hour before the Japanese withdrew and stopped attacking. We were relieved.
However, they didn't expect the Japanese army to push over a Type 92 infantry cannon! That thing was as tall as a machine gun without its wheels. It was not easy to find it, and it fired quickly.
When our squad leader led us to shift our position, we encountered the Japanese army coming from the left wing. Immediately, both sides started a bloody battle. In the dark of the night, you die! Half an hour later, I was already exhausted. Anyone could kill me lying on the ground!
Fortunately, the Japanese army had already been repelled. The squad leader was also seriously injured. He was stabbed twice by a bayonet and his internal organs were injured. He could only watch helplessly as the squad leader breathed his last in my arms!
The class monitor appointed me as the temporary class monitor before he died! Let me lead my brothers who are still alive to continue fighting! There were only two brothers who could stand still alive. All of Class 2 had died! There are only three of us left in our class!
"Choking up! Wipe your tears!"
If we wanted to survive, we had to move closer to the main force. We first went to the previous company's garrison. When we went there, we found that it had already been bombed into ruins. So at night, the three of us relied on each other to avoid the Japanese patrols and searched for the troops to advance in the dark.
You can't imagine the nervousness and panic! At that time, there was only one thing left to live on! He had to survive no matter what! No one wanted to die with nothing left.
The area where the three of us were in soon stopped firing. We didn't know if our comrades had all died or if they had gone into hiding. We could only listen for the sound of machine guns. The sound of the Ukrainian machine gun was very easy to distinguish. As long as there was the sound of the Ukrainian machine gun, it would be at least a platoon's position. As long as we ran there, we would definitely be able to find the troops!
In the dark night, the three of us heard a series of sounds and saw a dense light beam flying towards the sky. Immediately, we had a target and saw hope. We rushed over.
When the three of us rushed there, we met the people from the Independent Regiment. I knew the officer in the lead. Everyone called him Cripple Meng when he limped. However, this was only limited to his good friends. The others still called him Company Commander Meng.
From Company Commander Meng, we learned that the main force has already retreated and is rushing to Xiaguan to cross the river! They belonged to the last group. It was really fortunate that we met them. Otherwise, the three of us might not have been able to leave Nanjing alive.
Just like that, we were temporarily incorporated into Company Commander Meng's company. Together with them, we repelled the Japanese attack and headed towards the airport.
Company Commander Meng had planted explosives and time bombs in the house they were stationed in. When the Japanese army went up, they were all destroyed! This was also a big gift to the Japanese army before we left. Two of our brothers who were in charge of bringing up the rear died. The Japanese army pressed on us before we could rescue them in time. We had no choice but to continue heading towards the airport.
