Chapter 402: Covering Retreat(1/2)
At midnight on October 30, 1937, the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment was ordered to break out!
This iron army, which held the Sihang Warehouse for four days, concentrated three machine guns, knocked out the Japanese searchlights, and then immediately left the Sihang Warehouse in batches.
The Japanese army immediately discovered their breakout attempt.
A large number of Japanese troops immediately attacked quickly, trying to cut off the 1st Battalion's retreat route and annihilate it before reaching the public concession.
Lannikou Bridge.
The machine guns of the squadron of military commander Wu Chunming rang out in an instant.
This is the most important junction on the retreat road.
As long as you pass here and reach Yuqiaqing Road, it's basically safe.
The machine gun roared wildly there.
In the dark night, strings of tongues of fire danced in the dark night.
"Go, go, go quickly!"
When he finally saw the 1st Battalion appear, Wu Chunming waved his hands and shouted loudly.
Soldiers one after another passed the Lannikou Bridge.
"Commander, Commander Yang is at war with the enemy."
This is the news Xie Jinyuan least wants to hear.
Relying on the solidity of Sihang Warehouse, they paid a small price.
But once they leave that strong fortress, the soldiers will be in a very dangerous position in an instant.
At this time, the battalion commander Yang Ruifu, who was responsible for breaking up the rear, was in such a situation.
"Withdraw, Commander Xie." Wu Chunming shouted loudly: "We are here to support Battalion Commander Yang!"
"Thank you, brother, I leave it to you!"
After all, Xie Jinyuan is responsible for an entire battalion!
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Speed up, hurry up later!"
Under the cover of a squadron of the army, large groups of soldiers quickly passed through the defense area.
On Yuqiaqing Road, the second military command team has been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as they saw these Chinese soldiers, they immediately led them to evacuate towards the British defense area of Xinjunqiao.
"Tu tu tu tu"!
A brother next to Wu Chunming groaned and fell to the ground.
"Take it down!" Wu Chunming's eyes turned red.
Why haven’t the post-fracture parts come yet?
The troops we have here are not regular troops, and they cannot withstand the Japanese army for long.
"Sun Dou Fu!"
"arrive!"
"Hurry up and take a look at the broken piece."
"Yes! What if...what if that Battalion Commander Yang dies?"
"Bring the fucking body back to me!" Wu Chunming yelled.
"yes!"
…
Several cars stopped.
Meng Shaoyuan and Cai Xuefei got off the first car.
"Stop, the front is the British defense area, no entry is allowed!"
A British major blocked their way.
Before he finished speaking, another car drove up.
The people who got out of the car this time were Sir Greenwood, General Director of the Board of Directors of the Public Settlement Industry Bureau, and Moyes, the President.
Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Sir, Mr. President." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
"Oh my God, a midnight breakout." Sir Greenwood complained a little: "I'm already asleep, can't I do these things during the day?"
In military matters, Lord Greenwood was a complete amateur.
"Because we don't want to suffer too much loss." Meng Shaoyuan was very patient today: "Ah, by the way, you must recognize Ms. Cai Xuefei."
"Mrs. Rose." Moyes bowed slightly to Cai Xuefei: "Why are you here too?"
Cai Xuefei said calmly: "Our soldiers fought bloody battles there, of course I want to come here."
Sir Greenwood and Moyes immediately realized something was wrong. Not only Mrs. Rose was here, but also Joey from Angus International and Mr. Hawes.
These classes are all people with certain influence.
What does Meng Shaoyuan want to do again...
…
"Squadron Captain, Squadron Leader, Battalion Commander Yang is injured, Battalion Commander Yang is injured."
Sun Doufu rolled and crawled to the position.
"What? Are you seriously injured?"
"It's very heavy. One of the squad responsible for cutting off the rear is dead and one is injured. Now the brothers are leading Battalion Commander Yang towards us!"
"Accept! Accommodate!"
Wu Chunming was usually an honest person, and during the entire Songhu War of Resistance, he did not perform particularly well.
But just tonight, all his energy burst out.
Several soldiers, carrying a seriously wounded man on their backs, quickly approached here.
Behind them were dozens of Japanese soldiers who kept firing.
"beat!"
Wu Chunming roared violently, raised his machine gun and poured bullets wildly at the Japanese army.
Temporarily suppressed.
"Quick! Quick!"
Wu Chunming greeted loudly.
Suddenly, he felt a huge pain in his right chest.
No, I got shot.
Wu Chunming swayed for a moment, and then took advantage of the situation to slowly lie down on the sandbags in the position: "Quick! Quick!"
The soldiers rushed into the position with Yang Ruifu, who was seriously injured.
The Japanese army was obviously unwilling to let go of these Chinese troops, and bullets were hitting here "bang bang".
What's even more terrible is that a heavy machine gun was also brought up, and bullets came whizzing like a rainstorm.
Yang Ruifu was seriously injured. He was shot twice in the chest and also wounded in the thigh.
"Sun Doufu." Wu Chunming's face was pale, but he couldn't tell at night: "Drag Camp Commander Yang to retreat, quickly, retreat. Two hundred meters, as long as we enter Yuqiaqing Road, the Japanese will not dare to shoot unscrupulously.
"
"yes!"
Sun Dofu immediately called to his brothers, put Yang Ruifu on the stretcher that had been prepared, and then began to lie on the ground and drag him along.
Two hundred meters, this is a distance of death, but also a distance of life!
Wu Chunming kept pulling the trigger. The two machine guns on the position will be the key to whether the brothers can lead Battalion Commander Yang out of danger.
Bullets roared in the air.
Wu Chunming found that he was bleeding quickly.
He had to force himself to hold on.
"Wu Chunming, your mission is to persist until the last soldier retreats safely!"
The commander's orders to him echoed in his ears.
"Grenade, grenade!"
