Chapter 1573 The heroic spirit is immortal(1/2)
October 11, the second day of the Danyang uprising.
When it was still dark, Japanese planes launched another indiscriminate bombing of Danyang.
Bombs roared down on Danyang.
The position is burning.
The city is burning.
The soldiers and civilians of Danyang are also burning.
But what they burn is their determination to fight to the end!
Just now, the uprising headquarters received exciting news:
An uprising in Jurong! An uprising in Changzhou! An uprising in Wuxi!
Under the planning of the military commander, uprisings in various places flourished overnight!
The First Battalion of the Third Puppet Security Regiment in Jurong, instigated by military special agents, declared an uprising!
Subsequently, the first battalion coerced the commander of the third regiment, who was forced to declare an uprising of the entire regiment!
The wave of uprising swept across Jiangsu!
The Loyalty and National Salvation Army and the Fourth Route Army from all over the country launched attacks one after another, launching attacks on small groups of enemies and puppets, and small county towns!
It's a mess, it's all a mess!
And this is the best support for Danyang!
The Japanese were forced to mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops who had been transferred halfway back again to suppress the uprising.
However, even so, Danyang is still facing strong and cruel pressure!
After the indiscriminate bombing, Japanese troops appeared in large numbers!
…
At this time, no one knew that a miracle in the history of war was taking place in a small place called Zhuge Village not far from Danyang.
Six of the seven members of the Self-Defense Forces had no military experience and had only trained for a period of time under the leadership of a man named Zhuge Xi.
But it was these seven rural men who firmly held back the pace of the 800-day puppet army in the South Tower.
To be honest, apart from the Japanese and puppet troops who initially capsized and drowned more than a hundred people, Ichimaru Ryo's casualties were not large.
However, as long as the South Tower remains, they will be unable to move forward.
Two machine guns firmly blocked the land and water routes.
As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops show up, machine gun bullets will be unleashed crazily regardless of the cost.
Ichimaru Ryo's face was distorted.
All the weapons and ammunition in the south building were provided by him.
Now, his own bullet actually hit himself.
This feeling can only be understood by Ichimaru Ryo.
"Capture the South Tower, I want to live, live!"
Ichimaru Ryo almost screamed at the top of his lungs and issued such an order!
This is October 11, 1940.
…
By the 11th, the number of enemies facing Danyang had reached more than 3,700 Japanese troops and more than 15,000 puppet troops.
In order to suppress the Danyang Uprising as soon as possible, the Japanese military headquarters did its best to mobilize a large number of aircraft and artillery, covering Danyang with powerful artillery fire.
Yesterday, the Loyalty Salvation Army and the Ruan Battalion blew up two enemy tanks at great sacrifice.
But at dawn, they almost despaired when they saw four tanks and two armored vehicles appearing opposite them.
This was just reinforced from Nanjing.
There is absolutely no way they can destroy this unparalleled armored force here!
Wei Yunzhe, Pan Baolai, and Guo Yongbiao all glanced at Danyang behind them.
No retreat orders!
Fight to the death!
…
Fight to the death!
The tank broke through the position and ran over the brothers.
A brother fired the cluster grenade in his arms.
In the "rumbling" explosion, the tank collapsed.
However, there are also tanks, showing off their power and crushing them all the way as if no one else is watching.
Behind, there are swarming Japanese troops!
"Fire the bayonet!"
Ruan Tong shouted: "Brothers, fight to the death!"
…
"Brothers, come with me!"
Pan Baolai yelled and rushed out first.
This is the charge command invented by Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling.
Brothers, come with me!
Not a single unnecessary word!
The brothers of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army and the brothers of the Ruan Camp of the Second Brigade of the Independent Division are fighting side by side right here at this moment!
Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history!
…
Meng Shaoyuan's hand holding the telescope was trembling.
Brothers, hold on a little longer.
If you persist for one more minute, you will gain one more minute to defend Danyang!
He saw his brothers fighting with the enemy.
He saw his brothers with bayonets piercing their bodies.
When he saw his brothers, he fired the grenade without hesitation!
The bullets are whizzing, the bayonets are shining!
Hot tears flowed from Meng Shaoyuan's eyes.
"Withdraw, Director Meng, Brother Meng!" Gong Lucai almost begged: "If we don't withdraw, we will all be wiped out! Enough, what your military commander has done is enough!"
Meng Shaoyuan trembled and gave an order that he should have given a long time ago:
"retreat!"
…
The bugle sounded.
This long awaited bugle call!
"Retreat, retreat!"
I don’t know when the Ruan camp got mixed up with the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.
Ruan Tong shouted loudly: "The military commander, withdraw first, leaving one battalion behind!"
"Damn it, you are regular troops, you retreat first, we will cover you!"
Pan Baolai said cursingly.
"My battalion is over!"
Ruan Tong's voice was trembling: "There is less than one company left in one battalion! I have to be with them!"
"I'm a colonel, listen to me!"
Guo Yongbiao appeared in time: "All retreat, Pan Baolai, lead a squadron to break up the rear!"
"yes!"
…
Pan Baolai and his remaining thirty-odd brothers were surrounded.
