Chapter 1469, sleeping

Su County, railway station.

Groups of Yunnan Army soldiers quickly disembarked, gathered, and formed a team.

Sharp and short whistles sounded one after another. Officers at all levels counted the number of people and went to receive combat missions.

They were the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army that had just been transported to Dasu County.

We took a boat to Hankou and then got on the train from Hankou. We drove all the way and arrived in Xuzhou in two days and two nights.

They were originally supposed to assemble in Xuzhou. However, the battle situation on the Mengcheng front line was urgent, so they did not stop in Xuzhou and drove directly to the front line in Su County.

"Brother Yongheng."

"Brother Yannong."

Liao Lei went to the train station to greet him.

Chief Lu's nickname is Yongheng, and Liao Lei's nickname is Yannong. They are old acquaintances.

One is Gui Province and the other is Yunnan Province. They are right next to each other. They often have contact with each other.

"Brother Yannong, how is the battle situation now?"

"The fighting situation on the outside is pretty good. But Zhang Shaolong is trapped by the Japanese invaders."

"What's going on?"

"This kid..."

Liao Lei briefly told the story.

He also didn't expect that Zhang Yong would make such a big move.

With a cavalry brigade that was not full of men, he suddenly rushed into the hinterland of the Japanese invaders and captured the Japanese howitzers.

Not only did they seize it, they also dared to use it on the spot. They bombarded the Japanese invaders from all directions.

As a result, two Japanese divisions were provoked at once.

Those are two divisions!

There are only 2,000 people around Zhang Yong, maybe less than that.

When two divisions of Japanese invaders pressed forward, even if he was a copper pea, he would probably be crushed.

"he……"

"Still alive."

"My mission?"

"Follow the railway line and attack southward."

"good."

Commander Lu did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to go into battle.

Subsequently, Roach's 95th Division also entered the battle.

At the same time, Liao Lei also joined the last division of the 21st Group Army. Division Commander Zhou Yuan.

The Second Cavalry Army under the command of He Zhuguo also set out from Mengcheng to harass the enemy from the outside and prevent the Japanese cavalry from attacking.

Almost five divisions of troops assaulted southward.

The flames of war suddenly broke out.

The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army and the 95th Luoqi Division are both fresh forces.

They quickly eliminated the Japanese invaders on the periphery and pressed southward along the railway line.

The 13th Japanese Division suddenly felt full of pressure.

"Baga!"

Ogisu Ribei frowned.

That damn Zhang Yong, relying on the protection of howitzers, actually refused to retreat.

If it had been anyone else, they would have blown up the howitzer and then broke out. This is the normal approach. After all, the purpose of destroying the cannon has been achieved.

But Zhang Yong, that bastard, was so greedy that he was unwilling to destroy the cannon. He even used howitzers to fight the Japanese army.

As a result, the Japanese army was defeated. Continuous attacks were ineffective. They also suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Ogisu Rihei was very unhappy.

I feel like I'm wiping the Sixth Division's butt. It's a thankless job.

It secretly contacted its old boss and senior senior, Hisao Nishio, and asked for his opinion. Nishio hinted that it should be cautious.

The implication is that you should not be so active and work for nothing.

There is something even more depressing.

It's just that the 13th Division is not equipped with heavy cannon.

The Thirteenth Division was also equipped with howitzers. It was the same type as the one captured by Zhang Yong.

In other words, even if the Ogisu Rippei pulled up the heavy artillery regiment and bombarded Zhang Yong, they might not be able to take advantage.

On the contrary, it may cause it to lose some howitzers. This is something it does not want to see.

That was the Sixth Division's fault. Why should the Thirteenth Division take the blame? It's not Dashachun.

"Report!"

A staff officer hurried over.

He looked weird and hesitated to speak.

The chief of staff of the division waved his hand and asked others to step aside first.

"What's up?"

"I just received news that an incident occurred in the Sixth Division. The commander of the Utsunomiya brigade and the commander of the Yoshino regiment were assassinated."

"Assassination? What do you mean?"

"It was said that he was killed by a lieutenant. Then the lieutenant was also killed."

"Nani?"

Three words quickly popped up in Ogisu Rihei's mind - the bottom overcomes the top.

Damn it. Could it be that there was a mutiny in the Sixth Division? The junior officers assassinated both the brigade commander and the regiment commander?

Why does it sound so familiar?

The First Division where the February 26th Incident broke out...

The battlefield is cruel. Many people will lose their minds.

Especially when you suffer a defeat, you may not be able to control the situation at all.

The Sixth Division suffered consecutive losses, Hisao Tani was dismissed, and Jiro Utsunomiya, who took over the command, was under great pressure and killed people indiscriminately.

As a result, the officer below broke out and directly killed it.

They are all lessons learned in blood!

Therefore, Ogisu Rihei must be careful.

We must not make the same mistake as Hisao Tani, who died inexplicably in the end.

"chief of staff."

"exist."

"Report to the dispatched army headquarters. Then gradually withdraw from the battle."

"Tie!"

The chief of staff understood immediately.

We, the Thirteenth Division, don't care about Zhang Yong.

Who cares, who cares?

We are now being besieged by a large number of Chinese troops from the north. We can only look out for ourselves.

You, the Sixth Division, have caused the trouble yourself, and you have to find a way to solve it yourself.

As a result, the Japanese invaders gradually left.

"Huh?"

"No fight?"

Zhang Yong naturally noticed it quickly.

Within the radar map display range, the number of red dots is getting smaller and smaller.

Finally, all the red dots disappeared. The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Confuse.

Puzzled.

What's going on?

Are the Japanese invaders planning a bigger conspiracy?

Play hard to get?

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but none of them made sense.

His subconscious told him that something might have happened outside the encirclement, which made the Japanese invaders temporarily stop attacking.

Well, it's temporary.

Maybe the Japanese invaders were re-gaining their strength.

By the way, the Japanese invaders should have killed many people in the previous battles.

Visible to the naked eye, outside the position, the corpses of Japanese invaders were scattered everywhere. They were piled on top of each other and densely packed.

These are still basically intact. They were killed by firearms.

As for those blown up by howitzers and mortars, they are invisible to the naked eye. They are too far away.

"Report……"

A staff officer came over tiredly.

His voice was hoarse and his face was full of exhaustion.

Zhang Yong nodded.

He didn't want to talk anymore. He was so tired.

It's mainly a sore throat. It's completely caused by the smoke from the shells.

Those 105mm howitzers fired too many shells, and the entire position was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

As soon as you open your mouth, your throat will be filled with gunpowder smoke. It will be corroded in a short time.

However, if you don't open your mouth, you can't breathe at all. Because your nose is blocked by dust, you can't win even if you pick it.

The battlefield is so cruel. In a few days, everyone may become a human or a ghost.

"Commissioner, Brigadier Yang, he, he..."

"Well……"

Zhang Yong responded vaguely.

He dragged his heavy steps to see Yang Kang. He knew that the other person was dying.

He was hit in the lung by a bullet from the Japanese invaders. He did not die immediately. However, there was no way to save such an injury.

It is already remarkable that Yang Kang has been able to sustain it until now.

He was completely supported by a strong will. He would not die unless the Japanese invaders stopped attacking.

However, now, the Japanese attack has stopped and retreated. Victory is in sight. Instead, he has lost the final support.

Come to Yang Kang.

I noticed that Yang Kang's face turned red. It was abnormally red.

This is a flashback!

"Commissioner..."

"Brigadier Yang."

Zhang Yong is stupid and cannot comfort people.

He did not feel excessive grief for the other person who was about to sacrifice.

Maybe you are used to it. Sacrifice is everywhere.

Starting from Lao Cao, death gradually became indifferent to him.

Perhaps unintentionally, Zhang Yong himself had put life and death aside.

There is absolutely no such thing as noble thinking.

He completely integrated into the environment at that time and became a person of this era.

Defending the homeland and resisting foreign humiliation can be summed up in three words: risk everything. Kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one.

"Japanese invaders..."

"They should have retreated. We won."

"ah……"

Yang Kang's eyes gradually became distracted.

Victory...

You can leave with peace of mind...

He slowly closed his eyes and then tilted his head to fall asleep.

Finally, the arms hung down weakly.

Really gone.

There was silence between heaven and earth.

There was no sound of gunfire. No chirping of birds or insects.

"Blanket."

"exist……"

Zhang Yong reached for a blanket.

This is a captured Japanese artillery regiment. It is quite high-end and very beautiful.

Unfold the blanket, carry Yang Kang over, and place it on the blanket. Then wrap it up and tie it up with ropes.

A real man is shrouded in horse leather. Maybe that's it.

Nothing sentimental.

There are still eight years to go.

"Union flag."

"exist."

Others presented the captured Japanese artillery regiment flag.

Zhang Yong stuffed it into the rope of Yang Kang's body and fixed it. It was regarded as a mark and an honor.

"Chao Lichun."

"arrive."

"Wrap the others in this way and prepare to take them back."

"yes."

Chao Lichun agreed.

Then he led people to collect the remains of the martyrs. All they could take away were taken away.

Those that cannot be taken away can only be buried on the spot. Keep records.

This is the land of China, and loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains.

"Chao Lidong!"

"arrive!"

"Count the number of people who are still fighting."

"yes!"

The battle was temporarily over, and many soldiers fell down and fell asleep.

Some of them never woke up after falling asleep. They were too tired. They fell asleep forever and no longer needed to be so tired.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Yong used a bayonet to pry open a beef can.

The treatment of the Japanese artillery regiment was still very good. There was a lot of canned beef and other food.

In the past, I have relied entirely on captured food to support myself until now.

After opening the can of beef, Zhang Yong had no appetite.·

I couldn't help it, I was tired of eating it. I ate until I vomited.

However, you must force yourself to eat it.

Because we need to replenish energy.

I’ve finished the peanut brittle in my portable space. There’s no chocolate either.

Besides, these things are not enough to make you hungry. We Chinese people still need to eat. Eating snacks never makes us feel full...

Suddenly he raised his head.

The radar map shows that there is a white dot coming in from the northwest.

All have weapons.

Huh?

Is it the national army?

Did one of our own people rush up?

good.

Reinforcements came very quickly.

Before, I was worried that the friendly troops were in trouble, but they were motionless!

"Chao Lixia!"

"arrive!"

"Our team is coming from the northwest. Go over and greet them."

"good!"

Chao Lixia was immediately overjoyed.

The surrounding soldiers also stood up one after another. Their eyes were full of surprise.

Reinforcements are coming?

Is it our own team?

Ahhhh, reinforcements have finally arrived!

We are victorious!

The Japanese invaders were defeated!

We completely defeated the Japanese invaders!

Since reinforcements can come in, it means that the Japanese invaders have retreated.

so……

The siege has been lifted!

"quick!"

"quick!"

Chao Lixia and others hurried out.

But I couldn't walk fast because there were corpses of Japanese invaders everywhere, with broken limbs and arms.

The ground is still hot and sticky. I don't know how much blood of the invaders has been poured into it. It feels like a quagmire.

When he stepped on it, his calf was swallowed directly. It was almost impossible to pull it out.

"Oh my god..."

"This is……"

The first to arrive on the battlefield was Zhou Yuan, commander of the 133rd Division.

The 133rd Division is the last reserve of the 21st Group Army. In fact, it only has one brigade with about 3,000 troops.

After receiving the rescue order, they ran wildly.

There was no strong resistance from the Japanese invaders on the way. They were successfully repelled and finally reached their destination successfully.

But after arriving near the destination, all the officers and soldiers were shocked by the scene before them.

Is this a battlefield?

yes.

But not.

This is simply Shura Hell!

You can't see the ground at all. Only the flesh and blood of the Japanese invaders are smashed.

The ground is filled with irregular deep pits one after another. The pits are all filled with dried plasma.

There are also various broken weapons and equipment, as if they have been thrown into a garbage dump.

No one can deduce how many Japanese invaders were blown to pieces on the ground.

A team?

A tour group?

Or even more?

"Zhizhi..."

"Zhizhi..."

Stepping into the Shura Hell, there was a strange sound under my feet.

It was after the ground was over-soaked that it became like a swamp. When you step on it, you will see blood.

"board."

"Weed."

"Dry soil."

Zhou Yuan ordered.

The officers and soldiers of the 133rd Division took various measures.

Finally, a passage was opened in the bloody swamp. Victory entered.

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Captain Chao!"

"please."

"please."

Under the guidance of Chao Lixia, Zhou Yuan came to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong is sitting on the ground eating canned beef.

It tastes so bad. I don’t want to eat it anymore. I would rather drink white porridge. If there is white porridge...

Zhou Yuan quickly came up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Commissioner."

"No courtesy. We are all our friends, so you don't have to be polite. I'm very tired and don't want to stand up anymore."

"Commissioner, humble position..."

"Please clean up the battlefield. The people in the cavalry brigade are probably asleep."

"yes!"

"Keep an eye on the howitzers. They are all treasures! Twenty-eight of them, we will find a way to take them all away."

"yes!"

Zhou Yuan agreed loudly.

Then……

Discover……

Zhang Yong lowered his head and fell asleep.

He still held the dagger and the can of beef in his hand, but he fell asleep.

ah……

Mr. Commissioner...

"Shh!"

Chao Lixia signaled not to speak.

Zhou Yuan nodded in understanding, waved behind him, and led the people away.

The Commissioner is very sleepy, indeed very sleepy...

The soldiers of the cavalry brigade are indeed very sleepy...

With the arrival of reinforcements, the entire position was filled with snores.

The snoring of some soldiers was particularly shocking, as if a train was moving.

"Shh!"

Zhou Yuan ordered his soldiers not to disturb the sleeping soldiers of the cavalry brigade.

This time, they must be allowed to sleep well. At least ten hours of sleep.

Quiet.

Count silently.

Twenty-eight howitzers...

The body of the Japanese artillery regiment captain...

One colonel, two lieutenants, five majors...

No wonder the Japanese invaders were so crazy.

This is a complete heavy artillery regiment!

A total of thirty-six 105mm howitzers. Eight of them were damaged.

Who else could be less crazy?

How many 105mm howitzers are there in the entire national army?

Maybe none of them are gone now. They are all used up in the Songhu battlefield and the Jinling battlefield.

Now, Zhang Yong captured twenty-eight gates in one go!

Look at the wilderness around you.

There were countless corpses of Japanese invaders everywhere.

Five thousand?

Ten thousand?

Unable to count.

A lot anyway.

I can't imagine how fierce the previous battle was.

So many Japanese invaders were killed all around. The corpses of Japanese invaders were so densely packed that I had never seen them before.

Go out.

It was found that in just over 100 meters of frontage, there were more than 300 corpses of Japanese invaders.

These are all basically identifiable and relatively intact.

Only God knows how many were blown to pieces in the back and beyond recognition.

It was repeatedly bombarded by 105mm howitzers, and the bodies of the Japanese invaders were smashed to pieces.

All turned into flesh and blood and trampled into the soil.

A million corpses?

Rivers of blood?

"Someone is coming!"

"arrive!"

“Hurry up and take pictures!”

"yes."

Zhou Yuan arranged for photographers to record the battlefield.

Such a tragic battlefield can only be compared with Luodian and Dachang on the Songhu battlefield.

The difference is that this time, it was the Japanese invaders who died.

"chief of staff!"

"arrive."

"Report to the Army Headquarters immediately!"

"yes!"

The telegram was sent quickly.

Then, the group army headquarters reported to the theater commander's department...

The war zone commander reports to the headquarters...

Three hours...

five hours...

He Zhuguo arrived with the Second Cavalry Corps...

Those galloping war horses were actually unable to pass through the forward position. The horses' hoofs were deeply stuck.

He had no choice but to dismount and walk to Zhang Yong.

"Shh!"

Zhou Yuan gestured.

He Zhuguo nodded. Quietly. Silent.

seven hours...

Roach arrived with the 95th Division...

Ten hours...

Chief Lu also arrived.

There was silence. Everyone was waiting silently.

Waiting for Zhang Yong to wake up.
