Chapter 174: Battle of Tianjin 9

When Captain Ishimaru heard this, he sobered up and widened his eyes: "What? Chinese government troops? How could they get here? Aren't we always on tight defense?"

He quickly put down the Type 38 rifle on his shoulder and the ducks and piglets he was carrying, and looked around nervously in panic.

"Hurry, contact the brigade headquarters immediately and ask about the situation!" Captain Ishimaru ordered anxiously.

"Ha!" The Japanese soldiers took action, some went to look for the radio station, and some picked up weapons and prepared to fight.

At this time, the sound of dense artillery fire was getting closer and closer, as if the whole earth was shaking. Captain Ishimaru was filled with fear and anxiety. He didn't know what was going on, nor did he know how to deal with the crisis at hand.

"Baga! Who is attacking us?" Captain Ishimaru roared angrily.

His voice seemed so small amid the sound of gunfire, and no one responded. At this moment, he could only pray and hope that this was just a misunderstanding, or a mistaken attack by other troops.

As time went on, the sound of artillery fire became louder and more frequent, interspersed with the loud roar of some exploding shells.

Ishimaru's heart rose and fell with the sound of the cannons, sinking deeper and deeper.

Although Ishimaru was not clear about the specific situation, he knew that these artillery fire were definitely not fired by the 92 infantry guns equipped by their battalion.

As an experienced veteran, Ishimaru was very familiar with the weapons and equipment of his troops, so he was able to tell that these artillery pieces were not from the Empire.

The arch bridge appeared in Ishimaru's mind, and he felt regretful and desperate.

Could it be that the enemy has already crossed the river?

Thinking of this, Ishimaru wanted to die.

Ishimaru's face was pale and beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead.

He realized that if they didn't take action, they might be wiped out.

"Let's go! Don't worry about that! There is a big village ahead. I heard there is a big family in it. Let's rob them and leave immediately!"

Shiwan gritted his teeth and made up his mind to rob Qianjia Village and leave quickly.

As for the life and death of Captain Miyamoto and the brigade, it is none of their business.

When people die, birds fly up to the sky. Everyone has his own destiny!

Dozens of Japanese soldiers from the engineering squad began to follow their squad leader to leave Lijia Village, jogging all the way towards Qianjia Village not far from here.

Compared with Lijia Village, Qianjia Village is much richer and the villagers are also richer.

Therefore, they even built a circle of low fences around the village to prevent foreign invasion.

At this moment, dozens of strong men from Qianjia Village were hiding behind the fence, holding various weapons, and secretly watching the group of Japanese devils nervously.

In fact, they had already learned about the situation when the Japanese invaders were wreaking havoc in Lijia Village, but they were still hesitant about whether to send the village guard team to rescue.

After all, everyone knows that the Japanese are fierce and cruel, and once an exchange of fire occurs, the consequences may be disastrous.

However, at this moment, a cannon shot broke the silence, and the Japanese grenade launchers began firing at the fence wall.

The sound of the cannon shocked everyone, and those who were hesitating finally made up their minds - they could no longer sit and wait for death!

Ever since these Japanese soldiers heard the deafening artillery fire, they seemed to be frightened and actually abandoned Lijia Village and rushed towards Qianjiazhuang with murderous intent.

When they saw the many blue brick and tile houses behind the fences, their eyes flashed with greed and cruelty, as if they saw a fatter prey.

"Grandfather! The Japanese are targeting our village again! Tell me, should we let them in?" A middle-aged man was waiting anxiously in front of the old man, his tone full of anxiety and worry.

The Japanese this time were different from the Japanese gendarmerie in the town and county. These guys were obviously outsiders! They came here just to rob property and rape women.

Thinking of this, Qian Datong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He was originally timid, and now he became even more nervous when encountering things!

The more anxious he became, the more worried he looked at the old man in front of him - his third grandfather.

This old man is not only the elder of the family, but also the patriarch of the entire village. He has the final say on all matters big or small in the village.

Now facing such a crisis, Qian Datong can only place his hopes on this experienced old man and wait for him to make a decision.

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Datong! I understand your concerns. We have no way out. The Japanese don't care whether we have been filial to them before. They only care about their own interests."

"If we continue to tolerate this, they will only become more and more rampant, and may eventually bring us a greater disaster."

When Qian Datong heard this, his heart tightened, for he knew very well that his third grandfather was right.

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "But how can we fight these little devils? They have guns and cannons, and we are just ordinary people..."

The old man sighed deeply, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: “Although we don’t have anything good to grab, we can’t just sit there and wait for death. We must unite and find a way to deal with this predicament.”

"Go and immediately distribute the weapons that you have prepared at home to the villagers who have been organized, just in case."

"At the same time, we must also be prepared to evacuate, protect women and children, and ensure everyone's safety."

Qian Datong nodded, feeling a little relieved. He knew that his third grandfather was right. Only by unity could they fight against foreign enemies. He immediately expressed his willingness to fully cooperate and actively participate in the resistance.

The old man looked at Qian Datong's determined eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's start now! Notify other villagers and let everyone be vigilant and ready for battle."

"Remember, no matter what, we must protect our Qianjiazhuang. This is our home and we need to protect the safety of our family."

Qian Datong turned and left with firm and powerful steps. He knew that a life-and-death battle was about to begin, but he was not afraid because he believed that as long as all the villagers worked together, they would be able to overcome this difficulty.

It was obvious that this group of Japs were here to cause trouble for them. Thinking of this, the old man could only sigh.

Fight! I just don't know if my decision is correct! Will it bring disaster to this 600-year-old family?

"Kill!" Ishimaru waved the samurai sword in his hand, and the two grenade throwers beside him were launching grenades one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang!" At this moment, a burst of gunfire was heard, and a grenade thrower next to Ishimaru fell down.

"Damn it! These Chinese people actually dared to resist! Keep blowing up the fence! Let's kill all these damn Chinese idiots!"

"Bang bang bang bang" the sound of gunfire rang out densely at the entrance of Qianjia Village. The 30 rifles and a light machine gun that the old patriarch had secretly hidden were now spraying the flames of revenge at the Japanese devils who were trying to harm their village.

For a moment, the forty-plus Japanese soldiers were suppressed by the villagers and could not even raise their heads.

The Japanese grenade throwers who would not hide behind continued to fire grenades. This was the most deadly weapon against Qianjiazhuang.

With a loud "boom", the fence finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed in another explosion, and a section of the fence fell to the ground.

Two villagers who were hiding behind the fence and firing guns were also injured by the grenade launcher. They watched as the Japanese were about to rush into Qianjiazhuang along the collapsed fence.

Just then, Ishimaru suddenly heard a loud noise coming from behind.

He turned his head and looked carefully, only to see a puff of smoke coming out not far behind him, followed by the second and third shots...

Tanks! Several huge tanks appeared behind them, and the flags flying on them were not their sanitary napkin flags.

"It's over, we are surrounded!"

Someone shouted in horror.
