The first thousand one hundred and thirty-four chapters save lives
"We are responsible for taking over here! You can evacuate!"
Wang Dongming, who was disguised as a Japanese captain, waved to the back as he spoke, and his brothers disguised as Japanese soldiers quickly stepped forward to take over.
The Japanese infantry captain received a slap, his face was burning, and he could see clearly that the one who hit him was a captain.
Although the opponent was a commander, the leader of the Japanese infantry squad did not forget his responsibilities.
I was ordered to stay here to prevent the Chinese stragglers in the ruins of the town from breaking out, but now I am being taken over inexplicably without knowing the identity of the other party. Something is wrong.
He reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch up and stop Wang Dongming and the others, trying to figure out the situation.
"Which unit are you from? Do you have a warrant?" the Japanese infantry squad leader asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Seeing that the Japanese leader was unwilling to give up, in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Wang Dongming's face darkened and he shouted coldly: "Do it!"
"Huh! Huh!"
As soon as Wang Dongming finished speaking, these guerrilla brothers disguised as Japanese soldiers pulled out their prepared bayonets one after another and stabbed the nearest Japanese soldier in the vital parts of his body.
There was only an infantry unit and more than a dozen Japs guarding here, and Wang Dongming brought more than fifty people. As the blood flew out, these Japs soldiers did not understand until they died that such friendly forces suddenly attacked them.
.
Hearing Wang Dongming suddenly speak Chinese, the Japanese infantry leader was also stunned. Before he could react, he felt a chill in his lower abdomen and a sharp blade had already penetrated his body.
Wang Dongming held the bayonet handle in his hand and twisted it half a circle clockwise. The Japanese infantry captain's stomach was crushed to pieces, and his face collapsed in pain.
There were also Japanese guards in other directions of the town. Wang Dongming and the others did not dare to neglect them, so they left the brothers in two squads to dispose of the corpses and provide cover. The rest of them got into the ruins of the town one after another.
"Battle Commander Shen——"
"Battle Commander Shen——"
…
Most of the buildings in the town were damaged by the shelling, and only dark broken walls were still standing.
Although the wood and debris were burning, most of the place was still dark, and Wang Dongming and the others would step on some soft corpses from time to time.
They knew that the brothers of the Third Battalion were besieged in the town, but the Japanese troops were strong and surrounded the town tightly, and they did not have the ability to come directly to help them break out of the siege.
Therefore, he ordered the blacksmith, the commander of the battalion, to lead his brothers to attract the Japs in the east. Wang Dongming led people to disguise themselves as Japs to see if there was any chance of rescuing the people.
Fortunately, most of the Japanese troops went eastward, and not many remained on the ruins side, which gave Wang Dongming and the others an opportunity to take advantage of.
"It seems someone called Chief Shen."
There are now less than twenty brothers alive in the town, and all of them are injured. They are lying in wait in the ruins and heard the low shouts in the darkness.
"Have our reinforcements arrived?"
The fighting in the east was fierce, and the brothers, who were confused in their minds, were making guesses.
"Could it be a conspiracy by the little devils to trick us out?"
"Let's not go out first and then take a look."
Wang Dongming and his group were climbing over the ruins, calling the brothers' names, but there was no response for a long time.
"Sir, are all the brothers in the third battalion killed?" Seeing no response after shouting for a long time, some brothers had a bad premonition.
Wang Dongming also frowned. Seeing how fierce the fighting was in the town, even if there were not many people left alive, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought that a brother from Yingdu was just gone.
"Everyone spread out and look for each other. As long as there is still one person who is breathing, we must rescue him——"
Wang Dongming ordered the brothers, still not believing that all the brothers in the third battalion were finished.
Wang Dongming and the others groped around in the ruins and shouted for a while, while the survivors hidden in the darkness were also observing, and they soon determined that the people coming were really friendly troops, not Japanese pretenders.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, is that you?"
When Wang Dongming and the others were about to give up, a head suddenly popped up from a dilapidated dry well and asked.
The sudden sound frightened the brothers so much that they turned around and pulled the bolts of their guns to aim in the direction of the sound.
"I am Wang Dongming, are you a brother from the third battalion?" Wang Dongming quickly ran over and asked excitedly.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, why are you here? Brothers, brothers are all dead..."
After receiving the confirmation, this brother, whose military uniform was in tatters and in pieces, crawled out. As he spoke, tears rolled down like short beads.
"We encountered a Japanese bombing and arrived late." Wang Dongming recognized that this was Shen Biao's adjutant, and without much explanation, he immediately asked: "Brother, where is Battalion Commander Shen?"
"Our battalion commander is injured and is hiding behind him."
This brother pointed to a dark courtyard behind and said.
Soon, Wang Dongming found the third battalion commander Shen Biao, who was only half alive, and several seriously injured brothers in this dilapidated building with only three walls left.
"Old Shen——"
Seeing Wang Dongming and the others arriving, Third Battalion Commander Shen Biao's defeated face regained life. His hands full of wounds tightly grasped Wang Dongming, and he was so excited that he could not speak incoherently.
"Brother Wang...Brother Wang, I thought you wouldn't come..."
Shen Biao and his brothers, who had a full battalion, went straight to the scene without waiting for the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Corps to arrive. Shen Biao thought they had been abandoned, but now that he saw Wang Dongming and the others coming, and thought of the fallen brothers, tears came out.
"Old Shen, we encountered Japanese bombings on the road and are no longer able to go south. We are preparing to return to Baoying. Chief Yang sent you a telegram and prepared for you to retreat, but you did not respond, so Chief Yang asked us to come and pick you up." Wang Dongming said.
explained.
"Our radio station was blown up during the battle, and the people sent out to contact you have not returned yet... If I had known, I would have led my brothers to retreat. It's a pity that so many brothers died in vain. I can't help the brothers." Shen
Biao Ye's face was full of pain, and his heart was very painful.
In the years of war and chaos, communications were extremely underdeveloped, and many troops could not be reunited after being scattered. Wang Dongming also knew that this was no wonder Shen Biao.
"Old Shen, don't say anything. There are Japs everywhere. Gather all the brothers. We need to move quickly." Wang Dongming also knew that there could be no delay and reminded him.
"Yes, yes, let the brothers move."
Shen Biao wiped his tears and asked his adjutant to notify the brothers who were ambushing in the ruins to prepare for transfer.
Soon, all the nineteen surviving militiamen and the brothers from the third battalion gathered together again.
"Where are the rest of the people?" Wang Dongming asked when he saw that there were only a dozen or so scattered wounded.
"Sir, we only have so many brothers." A brother replied in a low voice.
The brothers in one battalion were beaten until there were only a few people left. Wang Dongming felt indescribably uncomfortable. He held back his tears, waved to the brothers behind him and said, "Take the brothers and move!"
"Deputy Commander Wang, Commander Shen, Commander Shen committed suicide." At this moment, Shen Biao's adjutant suddenly ran over from behind and shouted with tears in his eyes.
"What?!"
Wang Dongming was also stunned, and immediately ran to the back in two and three steps. He saw Shen Biao lying on the wooden board about to be moved, surrounded by several brothers, who were hurriedly trying to stop the bleeding. A bayonet was still covered with blood. On the wooden board.
"Old Shen, what are you doing!" Seeing that Shen Biao was about to commit suicide, Wang Dongming was also anxious.
Shen Biao looked even weaker due to blood loss. Facing the anxious Wang Dongming, he forced a smile on his face.
"Wang...Brother Wang, I will not burden you anymore. I have killed many Japanese in my life, but in the end I have killed so many brothers. I feel sorry for the dead brothers...ahem...you go, Let me accompany the brothers..." Blood foam kept pouring out of Shen Biao's mouth, and his voice became weaker and weaker.
"Old Shen, you are confused." Looking at the dying Shen Biao, Wang Dongming was also so angry that he could not speak.
Soon, Shen Biao, who had lost too much blood, closed his eyes peacefully, and the brothers around him let out low sobs.
