Anti-Japanese sniper action

Chapter 331 The Massacre in the Straw Sandal Gorge
Zhao Zilong saw Zhang Long and those national soldiers staring at the distance with their heads up, cursing something, twisting their hands and struggling.

Zhao Zilong immediately turned the binoculars in the direction Zhang Long was looking at, and saw a short, fat devil standing there.Ok?When Zhao Zilong saw the appearance of the devil officer, he couldn't help being slightly startled, as if he had seen this person before.
-
On a small high ground in Caoxie Gorge.

With gauze wrapped around his left arm, Taro Okamoto looked at the crowd in the distance with indifference, walking back and forth a little restlessly.

Three days ago, at the end of the siege of the Grand Hotel, because Wen Bin detonated a bomb and destroyed the kitchen, the dilapidated Grand Hotel, which had been subjected to multiple rounds of artillery bombardment, collapsed and buried all the devils who entered.

Taro Okamoto, who was nearby, was affected, and he broke his arm while escaping, which made him very chagrined and angry.

What made him angry was that this incident caused his temporarily incorporated wing to lose two squadron soldiers, including a large captain, two squadron leaders, and several small squadron leaders.

Therefore, he vented his anger on those ordinary people. Not only did he condone the soldiers burning, killing and looting in Nanjing, but he also participated in it many times.

Tonight, he will take the national army captured during this period, those suspected of turning into ordinary people, and some ordinary people to the riverside for execution.

"Lieutenant Suzuki! Go and drive those Chinese people to the concentration point."

Seeing that the crowd was extremely slow, Okamoto Taro waved his arm impatiently, and gave an order to the second captain beside him.

Not long after the other party walked down, those devil soldiers immediately raised their bayonets and ruthlessly drove away the crowd with their hands tied, and drove them all to the center of the canyon.

Immediately, the dark crowd became denser and denser, and at a glance, they were all heads.

"Master Okamoto! When will it start?" The second captain ran back and asked.

The sullen Okamoto Taro looked at the angry Chinese soldiers and the frightened common people, his expression turned ferocious.

He pulled out the saber with his right hand and slowly raised it up.

When they saw his action, those devil soldiers immediately raised their light and heavy machine guns and put their hands on the plane.

Some national soldiers and ordinary people sensed something and couldn't help shouting. Suddenly, the flow of people became commotion and shouted.
-
On the top of the hill.

When Zhao Zilong saw Taro Okamoto holding his saber high, he had a premonition of something, his pupils shrank and his heart tightened.

"Show me." Zhao Zilong's complexion changed, Zhang Hu saw it, and he immediately grabbed the telescope.

"Big brother! Big brother is inside..."

When Zhang Hu saw Zhang Long, he couldn't help screaming.Chen Jun's expression changed beside him, and he quickly covered his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Hu got a little annoyed, and pushed Chen Jun away, almost rolling him down the hill.

"Little Tiger! You'll kill everyone if you yell like that." Wang Zhong immediately gave a low shout when he saw it, and then snatched the binoculars from the opponent's hand to look at it.

"Show me, show me..." Zhang Hu became anxious when he saw it, and wanted to grab it back immediately.

"Don't grab, don't grab..." Wang Zhong pushed the opponent away with his left hand, and picked up the binoculars with his right.

When he saw the crowd below, his face changed drastically, and then he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fuck you little devil..."

"What's wrong with the little devil?" Lang Tie asked.

"Everyone, keep quiet." Seeing them like this, Zhao Zilong frowned, a little worried, and immediately took back the binoculars.He didn't want them to see Zhang Long and the others, especially Zhang Hu.

Da da da……"

Suddenly, the sound of light and heavy machine guns sounded in the canyon.

Everyone's complexion changed again, and they all turned their heads to look.

Dozens of machine guns spit out flames continuously, sweeping down the dense crowd piece by piece.

Those people were tightly tied together, unable to struggle, they could only twist their bodies in vain, and kept screaming into the night sky.

Machine gun bullets fired at a rate of five to six hundred rounds per minute, aiming at the crowd who had no resistance and could not dodge at all.

In just a few breaths, one to two thousand people had fallen, and the outermost flow of people suddenly emptied a large area.

Everyone was stunned by the tragic scene in front of them, and they didn't know what to do.

"Brother..." Zhang Hu couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted, his facial muscles twitching violently.

He was full of strength because of anger, and immediately pushed Chen Jun away, picked up the [-] cover, pushed a bullet in an instant, straightened up, and faced Taro Okamoto who had just swung his sword in the distance, regardless of his marksmanship Not good, just a shot based on feeling.

Bah!
The angry bullet hit the opponent's thigh all at once.

"Baga! There are Chinese soldiers."

Okamoto Taro was shot in his left foot and fell off a small plateau.The second team leader beside him immediately shouted when he saw the movement on the side of Xiaoshantou.

A few crooked machine guns nearby immediately turned their muzzles and fired towards the hill where Zhao Zilong and others were.

"Let's go!" Zhao Zilong wanted to shoot Okamoto Taro at first, but seeing him rolling down the hill and disappearing, he had to pull Zhang Hu down immediately.

Da da da……

They just got down on the ground, and a series of bullets rained over their heads.

"Go there." Lang Tie shouted as soon as he saw a small group of devils besieging him, pointing to a path at the foot of the mountain.

This time, Lang Tie and Chen Jun set up Zhang Hupao, and Zhao Zilong, Wang Zhong, and Chen Weiguo covered behind.

When they had just descended the mountainside, they saw that the devils had already rushed up the mountain—the place where they lay down to observe just now.

Seeing ghosts appearing on the other side of the river, Lang Tie had to take everyone to run in the direction of the city.

However, they only ran a few tens of meters before they saw a squad of devils in front of them.

This time, everyone had to shoot.

I didn't shoot when I ran away just now, because I didn't want the devils to know how many of them there were. Now the gunshots exposed the firepower all at once.

Knowing that they had six guns, those devils immediately surrounded them in all directions.

Everyone was short of ammunition, and Zhang Hu was injured and couldn't run fast. After several rounds of shooting, they were forced to turn to a small mountain depression.

"Let me go, you guys run." At this moment Zhang Hu called out anxiously.His two hands were supported by Lang Tie and Chen Jun, and he couldn't move, so he had to beg.

"If you're a brother, don't talk." Wang Zhong said angrily.

"I'm the one who hurt you brothers." Zhang Hu burst into tears, and sobbed, "You guys still have time to run now, if you take me with you, everyone won't be able to run away."

"Let's run over there." After Zhao Zilong in front shot down the three chasing devils, he immediately yelled at Wang Zhong and the others as soon as he sensed that the devils were not surrounding him on the path on the right.

"Go." Wang Zhong pushed Zhang Hu, and Lang Tie and Chen Jun immediately set up each other.

　PS: The Caoxie Gorge massacre was the one with the largest number of people and the largest scale among the previous massacres carried out by the Japanese invading army in Nanjing.

　　According to the archives of the Republic of China government archives now in the Second Historical Archives of China, "Lu Su's Statement of the Japanese Army's Massacre in Caoxie Gorge" stated: "After the Japanese invaded the city, they sent 480 retreating national troops and refugees, men, women, and children. Thousands of [-] people were imprisoned in the four or five villages under the Shogunate Mountain. They were cut off from food and drink, and many died of cold and starvation.

　　On the night of the 1937th day of the lunar calendar (that is, December 12, 18 in the Gregorian calendar), two people tied each other with lead wires and drove to Caoxie Gorge in Xiaguan in four lines. The kerosene was set on fire, and the remaining bones were thrown into the river..."
