Under the hazy sky, there was a lifeless atmosphere. The defeated soldiers who retreated from the Songhu battlefield seemed to have lost their souls. There were groups of three or five, and there were entire battalions and companies. They looked frightened and moved their exhausted bodies to the west.
Run, the atmosphere is dull and depressing.
In the morning, artillery fire was still rumbling and fierce in the direction of Kunshan. The troops at the rear were still fighting bloody battles with the Japanese soldiers who were chasing them. However, at noon, the blocking troops at the rear were also defeated by the Japanese. The rout was like a rout.
The dam also retreated, and the situation became even more severe.
The Japanese planes with plaster flags on them were catching up in groups and flying at low altitudes. The machine guns on the aircraft were like fire-breathing monsters with ear-piercing roars. The fleeing soldiers kept sending up blood mist, and people were constantly being beaten.
The light shines through.
Those cars full of wounded soldiers also became the focus of the Japanese planes. The trajectory of the bullets swept through and there was a cry inside. The young student driving the car was hit by a bullet and his head was broken. The car rolled into a ditch on the roadside, especially the Japanese planes.
He let it go, circled around and flew back to throw the bomb. With a violent explosion, the car and the wounded soldiers inside were enveloped in flames.
Those injured people who were on fire ran out of the fire with screams like slaughtering pigs, and turned into a living fireball. After the Japanese plane left arrogantly, they had long been burned to coke, and even the air was filled with
Burnt smell.
China's 700,000-strong garrison fought bloody battles with the Japanese in the Shanghai area for three months, with more than 300,000 casualties and still refused to retreat. They were short of ammunition and food, but they still bravely fought against the Japanese in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, although their positions continued to be lost.
, but the Japanese soldiers had to pay a sufficient price for every step forward. The entire 101st Regiment of the Japanese 101st Division was almost wiped out by the Chinese defenders.
However, the retreat order was repeated and hastily within one day, causing the troops to fall into chaos. The Chinese defenders were relieved and could no longer gather themselves together. The retreat turned into a rout, and the path of the rout became the path of the Japanese soldiers.
The killing fields.
The Japanese's pursuit force sent dozens of troops to make many detours and repeated insertions, so that it was impossible for the defeated Chinese defenders to reorganize their defense line, because they heard that the Japanese had already reached the front, and every one of them had no idea.
The ground blocked the defense, and the bribed traitors continued to guide Japanese planes to bomb on the ground, causing the retreating troops to become even more chaotic and disorderly, and they collapsed thousands of miles away.
Japanese planes with plaster flags affixed to them came one after another. In order to survive, the defeated soldiers had no choice but to leave the road and jump into the fields and run along the alleys. Therefore, the defeated soldiers could be seen all over the mountains and plains.
Some people were too sleepy and hungry to run away, so they had to look for food in nearby villages. But all the people had already fled, and those who were left were either old people who couldn't run or traitors who had been bribed by the Japanese.
, small groups of broken soldiers were attacked by traitor teams from time to time, resulting in even more heavy casualties. It was really miserable when the house leaked and it rained all night.
In the fields swept by the cold wind, two teams one behind the other were engaged in a chasing game. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers with guns and live ammunition were chasing Yang Ling and the others. They were so angry that they cursed, but they had to run away if they couldn't beat them.
die.
Yang Ling had never felt that he was so embarrassed. He was holding a fire in his heart and had no place to vent it. He wanted to go back and fight with the Japanese, but his strength was not as good as others. It had no effect other than increasing casualties, so he could only run away, but the Japanese were keeping an eye on him.
He killed them and refused to let go.
They were really in a panic as they ran. The defeated soldiers who were hiding and resting along the way were so frightened when they saw a large group of Japanese chasing them that they ran away with their guns. They were really afraid of being beaten by the Japanese.
.
After three months of fighting on the Songhu battlefield, all the veterans have died long ago. Even the new recruits who have been added have been replaced several times. Now the morale of these defeated soldiers has long been destroyed. How can they still have the courage to fight with the Japanese soldiers?
I can only run sweating profusely.
The Japanese soldiers who were chasing Yang Ling and his group were exhausted. Both sides had been chasing each other for almost an hour. At this moment, their legs were weak and their speed was getting slower and slower, but they gritted their teeth and persisted.
Lieutenant Yoshino pulled off the buttons on his collar to make himself more comfortable. His sinister eyes stared at the hundreds of people cheering in front of him, and his teeth gritted loudly.
Yang Ling and the others only had about twenty people at first, but there were too many troops defeated along the way. They all followed the Japanese when they saw them coming. Now their team has grown to three to four hundred, and they are shouting in large numbers. It's so mighty, isn't it?
Spectacular.
Although there were many of them, the Japs knocked out their souls. Faced with more than a hundred Japs, Yang Ling did not dare to turn around. Yang Ling held back his anger and wanted to turn around to beat them. However, this was a hidden place in an open place.
None. The enemy only needs to fire a few rounds and they will definitely be reimbursed.
boom!
"Go into the woods on the left front!" Yang Ling ran and found the woods ahead. He immediately pulled the bolt of his gun and fired a shot into the air, shouting loudly.
When the Japanese heard the sound of gunshots, they habitually fell down on the spot because the Chinese soldiers were about to fight back. However, they found that they were running into the woods in front of them, so they immediately got up and chased them again.
At this moment, the defeated soldiers had lost their souls. It didn't matter who shouted to run to the woods. Anyway, in line with the principle of safety in large numbers, they all headed into the woods huffing and puffing.
"Don't fucking run away, stay on the spot and stop us!" After entering the woods, the defeated soldiers wanted to continue running, but were stopped by Yang Ling holding a gun.
Now that they had the cover of the woods, and they had three to four hundred people, Yang Ling didn't want to continue running for his life.
"It's useless to stop them. There are more than a hundred Japs here. Don't catch us if you want to die." One of the defeated soldiers cursed and tried to run past Yang Ling.
"Ouch!" But as soon as he took a step, he was kicked to the ground by Liu Yidao who was standing next to Yang Ling.
Liu Yidao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he was holding a bloody machete in his hand. Wherever he stood, the commotion was immediately suppressed and they did not dare to move forward.
"The Japs only have over a hundred people, so what are you afraid of? We have three to four hundred people. We can kill them all with just one shot!" Yang Ling reminded, and then the running soldiers realized that Mother
Yes, when did we have so many people? Seeing the crowd, I immediately felt confident.
I had been chased by the Japanese like a lost dog, and my heart was on fire. But now I saw that there were three to four hundred people on my side, and I suddenly felt a cross on my neck and became more courageous.
"Just fight! I can't run away anyway." Platoon leader Qin Shou echoed loudly with his hands on his hips and breathing heavily.
"Hide on the spot! Listen to my order and fire again!" Yang Ling immediately gave the order regardless of whether the defeated soldiers agreed or not.
It is said that generals are courageous. The defeated soldiers were scattered. Without the command of the commander, they naturally lost their souls. But now that they had the unquestionable order of Yang Ling, the company commander, they still subconsciously followed Yang Ling's order.
Although the few assassins still wanted to run away, they swallowed their saliva when they saw Liu Yidao standing next to Yang Ling with a cold face, not wanting to be the one who stood out.
Hundreds of broken soldiers all lay down in their own concealment and began to pull the bolts of their guns, aiming their guns outside and preparing to shoot.
The Japanese soldiers also rushed to the outside of the forest. Seeing the defeated soldiers rushing into the forest, they hesitated for a while. They didn't know whether to continue chasing. How could Lieutenant Yoshino want the cooked duck to fly away, so he gave the order to let the Japanese soldiers
Fire reconnaissance was conducted.
More than a dozen Japs raised their guns, pointed them at the forest, and pulled the triggers. Along with the smoke rushing out of the muzzles, the whizzing bullets crashed into the forest, causing crackling branches and broken leaves to fly everywhere.
Seeing no reaction in the woods, Lieutenant Yoshino waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers began to drill into the woods with their guns in hand, preparing to continue the pursuit.
It wasn't that Lieutenant Yoshino was careless, but that this group of defeated soldiers didn't dare to turn around and fire a shot after being chased for so long. In his opinion, this group of rabble had been scared out of their wits, and the victory had paralyzed Lieutenant Yoshino's brain, so
I never thought that Yang Ling and the others would fight back in the woods.
