Because he had just experienced such support, Liu Yuqing no longer stopped, picked up the pistol and went with Chen Anbao. Halfway through, listening to bursts of artillery fire, Liu Yuqing suddenly felt his heart tightening, grabbed Chen Anbao and said
"Military seat, be careful."
As if to confirm Liu Yuqing's premonition, a shell fell on the side of the road. Chen Anbao said quickly, "Let's go quickly. This is a mortar. There must be Japs lurking nearby. Damn it, how did the Japs get inside?"
Suddenly, a barrage of bullets hit the middle of the team. Chen Anbao and others quickly fell down to fight back. Liu Yuqing covered her arm and said, "Hurry and cover the military seats and leave."
Chen Anbao grabbed Liu Yuqing and said, "Let's go together."
The shells kept exploding around Chen Anbao and others as if they had eyes. Bullets kept shuttling around Chen Anbao and others. Chen Anbao didn't understand why there were so many Japanese troops here. He ran as hard as he could. With his heavy body, he soon died.
Some of them are exhausted.
"Damn it, I should really listen to that bitch and lose some weight." Chen Anbao gasped for air. He turned around and suddenly saw a cylindrical object hitting him.
"So...the shells fired look like this." This was Chen Anbao's last thought.
The "boom" shell exploded right next to Chen Anbao. Liu Yuqing and others turned around and were stunned.
"Military seat!!!!" Liu Yuqing tried to run back regardless of his gunshot wound, but was stopped by the guards around him. "Master, hurry up, the Japanese are still behind."
The bombardment was not over yet. Liu Yuqing's hair was raised and his eyes were cracked. He kept waving his hands towards the place where Chen Anbao fell. The Republican general who liked to mingle with soldiers fell forever on the field ridge in Jiangxi.
The pursuing Japanese army quickly came to Chen Anbao. The leader sneered at Chen Anbao, who was bombed beyond recognition. He flipped it with his gun, nodded with the photo and said, "Yes, it's Chen Anbao. Cut off his head. Come back and invite me."
achievement."
A man next to him immediately pulled out a samurai sword and chopped off Chen Anbao's head. He also chopped off Chen Anbao's limbs and threw them everywhere. The Japanese soldiers around him laughed. Some even used bayonets to pick up the body parts and play with them.
When the leader saw that it was almost done, he said, "Stop playing around and retreat immediately. This ambush is very successful. If you go back, you will be rewarded heavily."
On the other side, Liu Yuqing, who was crying like a tearful person, fled back to the headquarters. While sending a message to Xue Yue to report his death, Liu Yuqing summoned troops to prepare for a retreat.
——Ninth Theater Command
Xue Yue stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing that the telegram in his hand fell to the ground.
Wu Yizhi advised, "Commander, I'm sorry, General Chen's spirit in heaven will protect us and defeat the little Japs."
A tear flowed from the corner of Xue Yue's eyes. As early as the Battle of Songhu, the two of them had cooperated a lot. Unexpectedly, they broke into Shanghai, a sea of corpses and blood, but fell here.
Xue Yue put away his sadness and rethought the battle situation. The defeat of the 29th Army made the counterattack on Nanchang basically failed. Even if the Youth Army blocked Nanchang for another ten days, it would not be able to capture Nanchang.
Xue Yue was in a dilemma, and finally let out a long breath and said, "The battle situation has been irreversible. Continuing to fight will only increase casualties. He ordered the Youth Army to retreat immediately. The 49th Army will provide support and other troops will take over the cover. In addition... send a message to the Committee
Take a seat."
——Chongqing
"Anbao fought hard in Nanxun, repeatedly defeating fierce fronts. Now Anbao died heroically for his country, and the mourning has been deep. Please express your sympathy. **** attacked Nanchang for ten days, but the division failed for a long time. After stationing troops under the strong city, the enemy
We are already prepared, but it is difficult to be effective. I hope that the third and ninth theaters will stop their attack on Nanchang. Yue's command was incompetent and Nanchang was not conquered, which cost me my loyalty. Please give me a heavy punishment to comfort the heroes." Chen Bui finished reading.
Telegram, looking at Jiang Jie.
Agent Jiang closed his eyes and sighed, "The Japanese army is extremely powerful. It seems that we still need to take a long-term view... order Xue Yue to stop the attack and preserve our strength."
——Yong Xiu
After persisting for nine days, when the Youth Army received Xue Yue's order to retreat, the number of more than 20,000 people had shrunk to more than 10,000, including 3,000 wounded soldiers.
"We are asked to withdraw at this time! What the hell is going on if we persist until now?" Ma Weilong said with wide eyes and dissatisfaction.
Hu Lian understood and said, "Nanchang cannot be captured for a long time. The Japanese army uses the navy to continuously support it. There is no point in stopping us here. It's just that we have already mixed with the Japanese army. It is difficult to evacuate safely."
"That is to say, as long as we entangle the Japanese army and prevent them from pursuing us, right?" an officer asked.
Hu Lian looked around and saw that this person was Hu Qicai who had come to report on his work.
Hu Lian asked, "Commander Hu, do you have any ideas?"
Hu Qicai shook his head and said, "There is no foolproof way. Just fight to the death and cut off the rear. If Master can give me more machine gun bullets, I will definitely be able to withstand the Japanese pursuit."
Hu Lian continued to ask, "How do you stop it?"
Hu Qicai remembered a sentence he heard while studying in Yan'an and shouted loudly, "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!"
Hu Lian was stunned, tilted his head and said to Ma Weilong, "These people who have studied abroad are indeed different. I can't bear to part with them. Okay, I will leave all the guns and ammunition of the reserve team to you. Anyway, the brothers who died in the battle left a lot of things."
Woolen cloth."
It was late at night, and without further delay, Hu Lian sent a message overnight to order all units to prepare to move closer to Yunju Mountain. Hu Qicai walked back to the army, and Ye Qing came up to him and asked, "How is it?"
Hu Qicai smiled and said, "What else can we do? Just kill the Japs. Our regiment will stay and let the others go. This way our people can survive more, and let the people who have been drawn alive and those who develop can gather together with the big army."
Come on, I asked Hu Lian for this, and our regiment will rely on these people to recover from now on."
Ye Qing had already been mentally prepared. He responded and went down to prepare. As the sky gradually turned white and gunshots gradually sounded, Hu Qicai looked to the north and saluted with a military salute. He adjusted his military cap and strode towards the regiment headquarters.
Go.
After Hu Qicai's troops moved to the high mountains and forests on the only way to retreat to Yunju Mountain, Hu Lian first issued a counterattack order. The Japanese army was horrified to find that the young army on the opposite side was attacking like crazy, and the artillery shells were tilted as if they were free.
In various city strongholds occupied by the Japanese army, Japanese commander Shimizu Yoshige looked at the city outside that had been beaten into daylight, and asked, "Is it true that the Chinese troops have come for reinforcements? That must be the case, otherwise they would never dare to attack like this. Order
All ministries stand firm and wait for the opportunity. Our defensive strength is particularly stronger than our offensive strength. Let the blood of the Chinese people be shed in front of our positions."
About half an hour later, as if someone was controlling them, all the Nationalist troops retreated like a tide.
Shimizu Yoshizhong, who was commanding the Japanese army to resist the onslaught of the youth army, was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated and ordered the troops to rest and eat until it was completely light.
The Youth Army took the opportunity to quietly leave Yongxiu City, which they had guarded for two weeks.
When it was past nine o'clock, Shimizu Kishige ordered the troops to perform fire reconnaissance and found that there was no response. Then he realized that he had been tricked, and angrily waved his samurai sword and called for the troops to pursue him.
——Alpine forest
Hu Qicai was hiding in the trench. The last unit had just left, and now they were the only ones left. But there were planes chasing them in the sky. There were many wounded soldiers in the young army, and the transfer speed was very slow. Hu Qicai knew that he had to at least
In order to buy 36 hours for the large army, it would be safe for the troops to move to the mountains. Hu Qicai carefully touched a badge in his pocket. It was obtained by killing a senior official of the National Army during the Long March. He did not dare
Carrying anything related to Yan'an, this is the only memory of his experience.
"Tuanzu, the Japs are coming." Ye Qing came over and said.
This is a dense forest, and there is no way to see anything in the distance. The soldiers can only stand on the trees and look out. Hu Qicai nodded, pulled out his shell gun and said, "Japanese tanks can't get in here, and artillery is also inconvenient. This is
On the battlefield of small arms, let brothers prepare more grenades and entertain our guests from the east."
The Japanese army slowly walked into the woods. The well-trained Japanese troops were dispersed, with the leading soldiers in front and the light machine guns at the back. Working in twos and threes, they coordinated with each other. A small team could control an area of four to five hundred meters.
"Snapped"
"Da da da"
The Japanese army fired from time to time in the distance. The experienced young soldiers kept their heads down, and the machine gunners kept their hands away from the triggers, for fear that they would accidentally reveal their position.
"Hit!!" Hu Qicai yelled "Hit!" when he saw that the Japanese troops were less than 100 meters away from the blocking line, and he could see his own people just a little further away.
Hu Qicai did not arrange his troops in a line, but in small dots supported by big trees. On the May day, the woods were already lush and green, and there was no trace of the young army unless he got close.
"Boom", "Boom", "Da da da... da da" "Pah! Pat!"
Machine guns, rifles, pistols, and grenades rang out. Under the guidance of the soldiers on the trees, a fire net composed of lines of fire instantly pressed on the Japanese army. The Japanese army quickly got down to fight back, but the trees blocked the firing range and could not see clearly.
For a time, the Japanese army was beaten and unable to fight back.
"Damn it, if the Chinese troops have been entrenched here, Nanchang's logistics line will never be guaranteed. They must be eliminated." Qingshui Xizhong said, calculating, "Order the troops to attack resolutely, use special bombs, and poison all the Chinese troops to death."
!!”
Hu Qicai saw that the Japanese troops had retreated, and he was relieved when he suddenly discovered that artillery shells fell into the middle of his troops, and green poisonous gas slowly spread.
"Damn it, hurry up! Gas mask." Hu Qicai hurriedly took the gas mask and put it on.
The Youth Army has Jiang Cheng's financial support, so there is no shortage of gas masks.
"Attack!!" Seeing that there was no movement, the Japanese army attacked again. This time the woods were full of poisonous gas, and the visibility became worse. It was not until the Japanese army approached that Hu Qicai and others were less than thirty or forty meters away that they noticed.
"Damn, put on the bayonet! Fight with the Japanese!" Hu Qicai shouted with a rifle in his hand. Ye Qing, who was beside him, took a rifle with a fixed bayonet and rushed out, facing a Japanese soldier first.
Throw a grenade and fire another shot.
"Kill! Fight with the Japanese!" The gunshots only rang out for less than three minutes, and the only sound left on the battlefield was the sound of bayonets clashing and piercing flesh.
"Report, the Chinese troops are fighting hand-to-hand with our army." The communications soldier came over and reported to Qingshui Xizhong.
Qingshui Xizhong raised his eyebrows and said, "The Chinese people are not as good as our army in physical fitness. Bayonet fighting is our army's strength. We immediately ordered the reserve team to rush forward and use the bayonets of the imperial warriors to tell the Chinese people how to fight hand to hand."
Ye Qing saw a Japanese soldier rushing in front of him. He held a gun in both hands, bayonets facing each other, and looked directly into the eyes of the Japanese soldier. However, both of them were wearing gas masks and could not tell each other from their eyes.
Prepare how to attack. After a stalemate for more than ten seconds, Ye Qing saw that the opponent had no intention of stabbing him, but kept testing me with the tip of the bayonet. Ye Qing knew that the Japanese wanted to delay time. After all, the Japanese army was more accustomed to three people working together.
In the battle, Ye Qing no longer waited, saw the opportunity, shouted "kill", took a big step forward with his left leg, and stabbed out with all his strength. The Japanese was caught off guard. Unexpectedly, Ye Qing actually dared to attack first and quickly blocked it.
, but the bayonet was slender and could not be blocked at all. In an instant, the bayonet was inserted into the left shoulder of the Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier was also ferocious and did not care when he saw it. Instead, he held Ye Qing's rifle with his left hand, picked up the rifle with his right hand and smashed it.
Ye Qing quickly turned his head and pulled hard. The Japanese soldier couldn't bear the pain and fell down. Ye Qing caught up and took a step forward, stepped on the back of the Japanese soldier, aimed a knife at the back of the heart, and pulled out the bayonet.
Finally, another Japanese soldier jumped up and hit Ye Qing's bayonet with his bayonet. Ye Qing quickly raised his gun and kept the tip of the bayonet facing the enemy.
While Ye Qing was dealing with the Japanese army, he took the time to look around. The physical fitness of the young army was not bad after half a year of training, and they were somewhat capable in hand-to-hand combat. However, after all, they lacked experience. Many of them were stabbed by the Japanese army because of mistakes made while busy.
die.
The Japanese army's bayonet technique was commonly known as "Oriental stabbing" at the time. It was a stabbing method in which the whole body was concentrated on one point. It was born out of Japanese swordsmanship and emphasized that one hit must hit the opponent, either stabbing the opponent to death or being stabbed to death by the opponent.
Hu Qicai's pistol was no longer known where he had thrown it. He held a broadsword in one hand and an engineering shovel in the other. He was slashing and smashing, and there were guards around him to cooperate. After a while, four or five Japanese soldiers fell beside him.
.
"Bah!" A bullet hit Hu Qicai's left leg. His whole body went limp. The Japanese bayonet stabbed him up instantly. Hu Qicai's eyes widened and he shouted, "Get out!" The engineer shoveled away.
From bottom to top, the last attack came first, and actually broke open the Japanese soldier's stomach. A pile of internal organs and blood hit Hu Qicai's face, turning him into a bloody gourd.
Qingshui Yizhong has been waiting anxiously outside the woods. It has been half an hour. Why are these Chinese people still insisting? Such a hand-to-hand combat is something Qingshui Yizhong has never heard of. I am afraid that such long-term hand-to-hand combat can only happen in the era of cold weapons.
Bar.
"Report, the Chinese people are too tenacious, we can't support them anymore, please ask for tactical guidance." A soldier covered in blood ran over and said.
"Baga! If you lose to the Chinese with a bayonet, do you still have the nerve to claim to be the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire?" Qing Shui gave the soldier a heavy slap in the face so that half of his face was swollen.
"Continue the attack. Even if you use a mass of people, I will crush these Chinese people!" Kishimizu drew his katana, jumped off the chariot, and prepared to go into battle himself.
The officer next to him was not willing to do anything, so he persuaded him and continued to mobilize the troops into the woods.
Ye Qing already had two stab wounds and was just holding on with a breath of air. Hu Qicai was no better. Half of his ear was bitten off by a crazy Japanese soldier, and he was leaning against a big tree.
"How long?" Hu Qicai asked.
"Twenty-six hours, there are still 10 hours left to complete the task." Ye Qing spit out a mouthful of blood and said.
"Okay, that's good, but it's a pity... I can't go back, and I won't be able to see the final victory. I'm not willing to accept it." Hu Qicai took out the badge from his pocket tremblingly and looked to the north. No one knew him.
What are you thinking about.
Ye Qing looked at Hu Qicai, picked up the rifle and said to Hu Qicai, "Commander, look over there."
When Hu Qicai turned around, Ye Qing hit him hard. Hu Qicai felt his eyes go dark and fainted.
"F*ck, Ye Qing, what do you want to do!" Several guards quickly picked up their weapons and shouted at Ye Qing.
"What are you looking at? Do you all want the commander to die here? The commander faints after fighting hard and is taken to the rear to recuperate. I will lead the troops to fight to the last man in order to repay the country... Don't you understand? Take the commander away!
There’s still time!!” Ye Qing roared, waving his rifle and looking at the people around him.
Several people around looked at each other, one person put away his weapon, walked carefully to Hu Qicai, picked up Hu Qicai, and looked at Ye Qing: "Battle Commander Ye, take care..."
Ye Qing looked at Hu Qicai's retreating figure and said with a smile, "Of course, take care, you can still lose weight if you die... Okay, brothers, let's sing the military song."
"The Three People's Principles, our party's sect, are to build the Republic of China and advance the Great Harmony. We consult with scholars and serve as the vanguard of the people; we work tirelessly day and night to follow the principles. We must be faithful and loyal if we are diligent and courageous; we must be single-minded and one-minded and implement them to the end.
.”
The song slowly sounded, and the wounded soldiers leaning against the tree, the scouts on the tree, and the tired soldiers sang songs, waiting for the next battle.
