Three hundred and seventieth chapters into the low yellow
The third battalion led by Yang Ling passed through villages filled with smoke and went straight to the headquarters of the regiment. The burning war left the land desolate.
Outside these villages burning with embers, the brothers saw countless men, women, and children lying under the broken walls riddled with holes. Their bodies were covered with bullet holes solidified by blood, and they had long since lost their breath.
He was shot and killed by the retreating Japanese soldiers.
The quiet and peaceful village turned into ruins, and the raging fire burned everything to ashes. Thick smoke billowed up and enveloped this land of blood and tears.
The brothers carried rifles on their backs and crossed the burning villages with heavy steps. Each of them was holding a breath in their hearts. Although they were silent, Yang Ling knew that if they did not die in silence, they would die in silence.
Explodes in.
The closer Yang Ling and the others got to Inner Huangcheng, the more intense the atmosphere of war became. Both sides of the road were covered with bombed corpses, which already exuded the stench of decay in this scorching hot weather.
Groups of wild dogs were wandering in the wilderness, with pieces of meat stuck to their cold sharp teeth and dripping with blood. All this made the brothers feel horrified, fearing that they would become food in the mouths of these beasts in the future.
The Japanese army retreated in a hurry and panic. Faced with the increasingly brave Central Army elites, they abandoned many towns and began to shrink their defenses. The roads were full of discarded supplies and bombed vehicles, and it looked like a mess.
The sound of artillery was already rumbling in the direction of Inner Huangcheng. The attacking troops who arrived first were launching an attack on Inner Huangcheng, while the troops advancing from all directions were heading towards the battlefield in waves along the messy roads.
"Brothers, work harder and run. If you get there late, we won't even be able to drink the soup!"
There were officers whose faces were blackened and dripping with sweat. They were running and shouting loudly. They were running in a staggered manner. The number of the troops they did not know was unknown, and they quickly passed Yang Ling's team and rushed to the front.
"Damn, these guys run so fast, just like Scuds."
Seeing that this army quickly disappeared from sight, leaving behind a puff of smoke and dust, Wang Huzi, who was half-dead from exhaustion, sighed with his hands on his hips.
They had been exhausted from fighting all the way, but these friendly troops were running towards the battlefield in high spirits as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"Make way! Make way!" As soon as Captain Wang Huzi, the company commander, finished speaking, shouts came from behind.
Yang Ling and the others turned around and saw that a team with scars and scars was also catching up quickly. The team's uniforms were in tatters and covered in stains and blood. Most of them were wearing bandages, and the penetration could be vaguely seen through the bandages.
of blood.
"Why are you wounded soldiers running so fast?" Wang Huzi was puzzled when he saw that these wounded soldiers wanted to join in the fun.
I only know that as soon as he said these words, a company commander on the other side was not happy. He raised his neck and said arrogantly: "Who said that the wounded can't participate in the battle? Our company alone killed more than fifty Japanese soldiers last night. Let's go."
Don't let the devils escape!"
Seeing the dusty company marching towards Inner Huangcheng, Yang Ling and the others couldn't stay any longer. If they were really late, the battle might really be over, so they accelerated their march.
In the evening, Yang Ling and the others also arrived at the suburbs of Neihuang City. Here they met up with the regiment leader Zhang Handuo and the other two battalions who had arrived first. Zhang Handuo and the others were lucky enough to capture dozens of Japs when they attacked a town.
The military vehicle then ran in front of Yang Ling and the others.
"You're finally here. I thought you were being made dumplings by the Japanese." Seeing Yang Ling and the others following them, group leader Zhang Handuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the battle this time was a pursuit and annihilation battle, several small troops encountered ambushes from the retreating Japanese and were almost wiped out. So he was very worried about Yang Ling and the others. After all, their third battalion only had a few hundred brothers. If they were captured
When the Japanese were destroyed, their group lost its strong arm.
"Hey, the Japs who want to destroy us haven't been born yet, but we have killed them several times along the way." Captain Liu Yidao, the company commander, interjected proudly.
"That's good," the regiment leader Zhang Handuo smiled, ordered the orderlies to pour water for Yang Ling and the others, and asked, "How are the casualties among the brothers?"
Yang Ling replied: "Two hundred and ten people were killed and 35 were seriously injured. The assault company was almost completely wiped out."
Yang Ling told the regiment leader Zhang Handuo the situation of the assault company in detail.
Zhang Handuo also felt heavy after hearing this, and comforted Yang Ling and the others with kind words: "Captain Wang and the others are good, they did not embarrass our regiment. Now that the little devil has re-arranged the defense line in Huang, I hope you can cheer up.
Fight into Neihuang and avenge Captain Wang and others!"
The assault company led by company commander Wang Meng was ambushed by the Japanese and was destroyed. Although Yang Ling and the others were sad, as commanders they naturally understood that now was not the time to grieve. They had to cheer up and fight the battle before them, otherwise they would just
The sacrifice of those soldiers will be in vain.
"What's the situation in Inner Huangcheng like now?" Yang Ling arrived here for the first time and didn't know much about the situation in Innerhuang City, so he asked Zhang Handuo, the leader of the group who arrived first.
Zhang Handuo sighed heavily and said: "The little devils have deployed heavy troops in Inner Huangcheng and rebuilt the defense line. We and the troops of the 71st Army launched several attacks, but were pushed back. This is a difficult piece of cake."
Bones."
Seeing Zhang Handuo's solemn expression, Yang Ling asked: "Have you figured out the strength of the Japanese troops in the city?"
"There is at least one reinforced wing, in addition to some artillery units."
Hearing that the Japanese had deployed such heavy troops in the city, Yang Ling also took a breath of cold air. With the combat power of the Japanese army, one of their brigade could often defeat a division of the Chinese army, but now a regiment was deployed in the city. This is really
Not easy to fight.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn, the regiment leader Zhang Handuo forced out a smile and said: "Although the Japanese have at least one regiment of troops, we are not afraid of them. Our military's artillery is on the way. As long as our artillery fire
When we arrive, we will beat them to pieces."
Yang Ling naturally understood that this was the regiment leader Zhang Handuo trying to boost the morale of his brothers. He did not expose it, but his heart was heavy. The Japanese had deployed heavy troops here. Even if they captured it, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
A few days ago, they were fighting a blocking battle in Dangshan. They only had to stay in the trenches to block the enemy's attack. But now they have to turn into a critical battle. This is the most difficult battle to fight. It is also very common for many companies to fight all the troops.
