Sir, don't shoot, we are Chinese!
Outside Wuchang, after a month of rest and replenishment during the truce, the 182nd Regiment of the Seventh Corps once again reached full strength. According to the rotation order of each regiment, it once again entered the forward position where the entire army was almost destroyed.
A new round of three-day defense began...
On the one-kilometer-long position, more than 2,000 commanders and fighters of the 182nd Regiment originally thought that the three-day defense would be like the troops in front, returning in vain and just going through the motions. However, unexpectedly, just as the troops were
Less than a day after the defense change, an urgent combat order issued directly from the regiment headquarters was passed to the ears of every commander and fighter of the 182nd Regiment, making everyone's relaxed hearts immediately become tense.
Of course, during these seven tense minutes, there were still many militant commanders and fighters with expectant looks on their faces throughout the 182nd Regiment. Among them was Yan Yufa, who had been promoted to battalion commander shortly after returning from the last bloody battle.
.
"***, our luck is so good. As soon as we came up, we encountered a kid who broke out. This time, no matter what, we must use the kid's head to avenge the brothers who died last time. Let the kid
Blood debts must be paid with blood. Here goes the order. The three infantry companies must rotate their defensive positions without interruption. Each infantry company must hold on for three hours. Li Yuqing, your first company goes up first. Don’t embarrass our old company.
...." After receiving the order from the regiment headquarters, Battalion Commander Yan Yufa, who had always dreamed of going to the battlefield, immediately revealed a bloodthirsty smile on his lips and ordered with a murderous look on his face.
"Yes, battalion commander..."
First company commander Li Yuqing replied decisively. His face also showed an expectant look for the first time. It was as if what he was going to face next was not an elite Japanese soldier who was armed to the teeth and might ask for his name at any time.
Rather, they are like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
At the same time, the Kwantung Army dispatched troops south to Wuchang City, where the headquarters is located. After receiving the latest combat orders from the country, the three towns of Wuhan, which had been peaceful for a month, became noisy again.
Three field divisions and one hundred thousand Kwantung Army elites, except for the troops who stood on the city wall, still stood firm. The remaining troops, under the leadership of their respective commanders, were like bloodthirsty wolves, waving their bright weapons in their hands.
With bayonets in hand, they rushed to every house in the city and began to arrest Chinese people who might serve as their shields during the breakout...
As for the headquarters of the Kwantung Army's troops dispatched southward, ever since the breakout telegram was received, the building where the entire headquarters is located has become very busy. A large number of headquarters staff officers and security personnel are coming in and out of the small headquarters.
Pack a large number of documents and instruments into boxes and make final preparations for the breakout later...
As time passed, Commander Mizu stood like a statue in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a solemn expression every time he called General Wolf, looking at the chaotic streets, waiting for the arrival of Chief of Staff Ichiro Sakai.
Finally, while General Mizu was waiting anxiously, the closed door of the office was opened. He quickly sat back in his seat, without caring about any etiquette, and directly faced Chief of Staff Ichiro Sakai who was rushing in front of him.
He asked anxiously: "Sakai-kun, how are things going?"
"It went very smoothly. The latest statistical results have come out. During the five-hour arrest, our army arrested a total of more than 60,000 Chinese people in the city. I believe that there are so many Chinese people in our hands.
The Chinese troops outside the city must not dare to act rashly..." Lieutenant General Sakai replied with excitement. After all, in a few hours, he would be able to safely leave this country with the help of these Chinese people, which made him nervous for several days.
Wuchang City for months.
"Sixty thousand Chinese, plus our army of less than 100,000, successfully broke through the defense line of the Chinese Army, which is enough..." After listening to the report, General Mitsu's nervous heart finally relaxed, very
He nodded with satisfaction. Then, he gave a serious order to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Sakai-kun, since we have captured enough people, let's stop. There are too many, and it is also a trouble in our hands. After all, there are still dozens of days to travel in between. Time is tight, so I won't say more.
We will go immediately according to our planned combat plan. The 169th Brigade, with 5,000 Chinese people in custody, will launch the attack first and open a breakthrough for the main force. After the breakout force opens a breakthrough, the main force will take all the Chinese with them.
As well as enough materials and ammunition for use and consumption, follow closely behind, immediately leave the city, and break out towards Shanghai..."
"Yes, Commander..." After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Sakai rushed out of the office with excitement as if he had received Shang Fang's sword, preparing to issue specific combat orders.
As for the commander, General Mitsu, after taking a deep look at the office where he had stayed for two full years, he quickly walked out and officially embarked on his way to break out.
Every time Mitsu gave the order to break out, the 100,000 elite Japanese troops stationed in the city began to operate effectively and quickly. Looking around, in the crisscrossing streets and alleys of the city, groups of Chinese soldiers were tied together with ropes.
Although people were unwilling to give in under the threat of Japanese bayonets, they still walked towards the city gate with numb faces on their faces.
As for the people behind them, there was originally a mass of grief and anger, and the people wanted to snatch their relatives back from the Japanese army. Under the bloody massacre by the Japanese army and the intimidation and coercion of the bloody corpses on the ground, they had to watch their relatives die.
Go, squat on the ground and cry bitterly...
Time passed slowly amidst the cries of the people in the city. An hour passed in the blink of an eye. The 169th Brigade, responsible for the vanguard, consisted of nearly 10,000 fully armed Japanese troops, including 5,000 Chinese youths who came with bayonets.
All the young men have gathered at the gate of Wuchang City, waiting for the gate to open...
On the East China Field Army position only a kilometer away from the city wall of Wuchang City, although the tall city wall in front of them blocked everyone's view and made everyone unclear about what was happening in the city. However, in Wuchang City, the people were screaming and crying in deafening ways.
The sound still reached the ears of every commander and soldier on the position very clearly.
Listening to the blood-curdling screams that were constantly coming from the city. A recruit who had just completed training and was on the battlefield for the first time was standing on the front line. He couldn't help but ask the company commander Li Yuqing beside him.
, I hope the answer from the company commander around me can give me some comfort...
"Company Commander, what happened in the city... Why are the people crying? Could it be that the little devils in the city are killing people..."
"Don't worry, the little devils will never dare to kill us Chinese. You must know that our East China Field Army also has hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners in our hands. The Commander-in-Chief has also publicly said that as long as Japan dares to kill one of our Chinese citizens at will, the Commander-in-Chief will
He would be buried with the heads of ten Japanese people... I believe that even if you give the little devil ten courages, he would not dare to kill people in public... "Although Li Yuqing's mentality is not sure whether the little devil, who is worse than a beast, is really being killed by the boss.
The commander was frightened by his words. However, facing the fearful eyes of the recruits, he still answered firmly.
"Okay, brothers, please keep your eyes open and keep an eye on the city gate. If there is any movement, report it immediately. Don't open fire rashly..." After saying that, listening to the screams in the city, I always felt a trace of pain.
Uneasy Li Yuqing, after handing over the troops to the instructor, quickly ran towards the battalion headquarters not far away...
"Battal Commander, what happened in the city? Listening to the screams of the people in the city, I always feel that the little devils in the city are a little weird. They seem to be brewing a huge conspiracy against us..." I rushed into the battalion headquarters and saw
After seeing the battalion commander and others with equally solemn faces in front of them, Li Yuqing, as the battalion commander's confidant, expressed her worries directly to battalion commander Yan Yufa without any hesitation.
"Not only you, but all of us are a little worried about the sudden change in the city... I have just contacted my superiors, who are trying to get in touch with the intelligence personnel in the city to see what happened in the city. However, in my opinion,
, this cannot be contacted in a short time." Yan Yufa directly stated the measures he had just taken.
"Battal Commander, what should we do? Listening to the screams in the city, the veterans can still hold on. As for the recruits... When I just came over, I could already see the look of fear in the eyes of many recruits.
I'm worried that if this continues, it will have an impact on the morale of our troops..." Li Yuqing thought of the fear before the arrival and asked with a worried look on his face when he saw the fear in the recruits' eyes...
"I have no choice. All I can do now is wait for news from my superiors and the latest trends of the Japanese army... In this way, I will temporarily transfer the battalion security platoon to you. You know, the more than thirty brothers in the security platoon,
But all of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield. I believe that the participation of these people will definitely improve the morale of the troops...-" After a brief thought, Yan Yufa directly ordered.
"Thank you, battalion commander..."
When company commander Li Yuqing, with a guard platoon composed entirely of veterans, had just returned to the position, one kilometer away, the Wuchang City gate, which had been closed for a month, began to slowly open under the shocked eyes of everyone.
Open….
Just when Company Commander Li Yuqing, including all the commanders on the position, all raised their binoculars and cast their eyes on the slowly opening city gate. About a small group of Japanese soldiers quickly rushed out of the city gate close to the city wall. Then
, with the city gate as the center, quickly spread out, forming a semicircular encirclement outside the city.
Just when everyone was confused about the Japanese army's actions, the protagonists of the Japanese army's breakout, groups of Chinese people connected with ropes, were like robots under the threat of the little devil's bayonet.
Generally speaking, I walked out of the city gate with a numb face and stood in a circle composed of a small group of Japanese soldiers...
Soon, as more and more people left the city, the Japanese in charge gradually changed from a small team to a squadron, a brigade, and an infantry regiment... In less than an hour, five thousand people
The stunned Chinese people and the elite Japanese troops of a field brigade all gathered at the gate of the city to make final preparations for the breakout later.
"You little devil, are they planning to use us Chinese people as shields to take bullets for them..." Looking at every move of the Japanese troops outside the city, Battalion Commander Yan Yufa immediately frowned and asked in disbelief.
road.
Because, being born in Japan, during the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing, he saw more than once that the Japanese army used ordinary people as shields to assist them in charging. At that time, he only joined the army to make a living.
Under the command of the commander, he will shoot without hesitation.
But that didn't work now. As he gradually became a mid-level commander of the East China Field Army, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of this unit. It was this in-depth understanding that allowed him to truly understand the origin of this unit.
, the importance this army attaches to the common people.
It can be said that if the Japanese troops on the opposite side really use the thousands of people at the city gate as shields to break through as they imagined, then facing the Japanese attack, I have only one way to go, and that is to fight for a few
In order to protect the safety of the common people, they took the initiative to retreat and let the Japs break out. Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Yan Yufa's frown deepened.
However, before things really happened, there was still a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that what he just thought was unnecessary...
However, things backfired. Just when I was still frowning and watching every move of the Japanese troops at the city gate, the nearly 10,000 elite Japanese troops who had been assembled finally began to take action...
Under the threat of bayonets radiating cold light and the shouts of the little devils, groups of ordinary people who were tied together and dozens of people were stabbed to death by the Japanese army had to lift their legs in the face of death.
, walked slowly towards the position of the 182nd Regiment. At the same time, they kept shouting slogans that the Japanese army had already given.
"Sir, don't shoot, we are Chinese..."
"You little devil, you are really worse than a beast, you actually use the common people as a shield..." Through the telescope, looking at the slowly advancing Japanese attack queue. You can almost clearly see the desperate look on the face of the common people Yan Yufa, can't help but tensed up
He clenched his fists, stared at a pair of red eyes, and cursed loudly.
For a time, all eyes of the entire command center were focused on Battalion Commander Yan Yufa, waiting for Yan Yufa to make the final decision.
