The penetrating charge echoed in the mountains and forests, and the Chinese officers and soldiers in company and platoon units became more and more courageous as they fought, chasing the Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains.
The Maruyama Brigade was completely defeated. They really couldn't hold on any longer. When the order to break out was given, they began to flee in droves.
If the heavy equipment is too heavy, throw it away. If there are too many people, it will become the pursuit target of Chinese officers and soldiers, so they will disperse into small groups and crawl into the ravine.
The arrogant Japanese soldiers have now become homeless dogs fleeing in embarrassment. Faced with the successive gunshots behind them, they hate their parents for losing two legs and run desperately.
The pursuing troops of the 74th Army were also in chaos, and their entire organization was in chaos. Even the officers of the headquarters at all levels rushed forward with their guards.
"Brothers! Don't let the Japanese escape, chase them!"
The mountains are full of Chinese officers and soldiers who are exhausted but enthusiastic about fighting. They have fought too many useless battles in the past. How could they let the Japanese defeat when they got the chance this time?
In the mountainous area more than ten miles away from Ruichang County, the Japanese soldiers fled in panic like lost dogs, while Chinese officers and soldiers chased them with shouts.
The two sides fought bloody battles in Minshan for seven days and nights, and they were already exhausted from the fight. On the steep mountain road, the Chinese officers and soldiers supported each other and chased forward, while the Japanese staggered and ran.
The proud and arrogant Japs had become frightened. A group of ragged Japs couldn't run any further. When they saw the creek flowing with blood, their thirsty throats were about to smoke. They rushed over to drink water.
, I want to replenish my energy and rest before running.
"boom!"
A hot bullet flew out of the woods beside the stream and pierced the heart of a Japanese soldier. The Japanese soldier staggered and fell into the flowing stream with a thud, splashing a large amount of blood from his ears.
"The Chinese are here, run away!" The Japanese who lay down to drink water screamed like a frightened crowd and fled in all directions.
The dispersed Japanese soldiers had run out of ammunition and food. They no longer had the courage to turn around and go back to fight. They only had one thought now, and that was to escape for their lives.
The Japs stumbled and fled in all directions. More than a dozen Chinese officers and soldiers, also in ragged clothes and sooty black, rushed out of the forest. They were a little shocked to see that there were more Japs than them and were so frightened that they did not dare to look back.
"Follow us!" A veteran platoon leader, whose face was covered in blood, was stunned for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and gave the order to charge.
In the past, when they saw so many Japs, they could hide as far away as they could, but now they saw the Japs in a panic, so they hid in the woods and fired a shot, preparing to go into the woods if the situation went wrong to facilitate their evacuation.
But who knew that the Japanese would run away as soon as the gunshots were fired, so they became bolder and began to pursue them.
More than a dozen brothers rushed out of the forest and rushed towards the Japanese who were several times their size but were running for their lives in embarrassment. The brothers chased and opened fire, knocking each of the Japanese to the ground. They beat them vigorously.
Throughout the mountainous area, Chinese officers and soldiers were chasing the Japs away. Even if there were some fierce Japs who wanted to turn around and fight, they had no ammunition and were quickly beaten into bloody gourds and turned into corpses in the grass on the roadside.
Yang Ling woke up from his coma, looked at the dozens of brothers surrounding him who were covered in gunpowder smoke, and drank a kettle handed over by a brother. His burning throat finally felt better.
His whole body ached as if he was about to fall apart, and his wounds were all bandaged. Although he had several hand-to-hand fights with the Japanese, he knew how to protect himself, and none of his injuries were fatal.
The gunshots in the surrounding mountains were still dense, but the distribution range was very wide. Yang Ling looked at these brothers and vaguely remembered that reinforcements seemed to be coming before he fell into coma.
"Did you stop the Japanese?" Yang Ling was most concerned about the situation of the Japanese. After all, in order to stop the Japanese, these brothers risked their lives.
Wang Zikun, who had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, had an excited smile on his tired face: "Regiment deputy, the Japs have been defeated, and the brothers are chasing and annihilating the Japs all over the mountains and plains!"
"The Japanese have been defeated, we have won!" The brothers, who had been through hell for a long time, were very excited. They were finally about to win a big victory.
Hearing that the Japs had been defeated, Yang Ling finally felt relieved. Finally, their sacrifice was not in vain. The 6th Japs Brigade, which had run out of ammunition and food, was finally finished this time.
"Where are the blacksmiths?"
Yang Ling looked at the brothers gathered in a circle. There were only forty or fifty of them, and many familiar faces were missing. Although he knew that the final battle was brutal, he still wanted to know how they were doing.
Upon hearing Yang Ling's question, the smiles on the brothers' faces suddenly faded, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Although they firmly blocked the Japanese at three beams, more than 400 brothers were almost completely lost. I am afraid that if there were not troops sent over the mountains to reinforce, they would have all been accounted for.
"Except for those who are still alive, all the brothers who are still alive have been sent to the field hospital..." Wang Zikun said with a smile: "They can be considered blessed, and they can eat well and sleep peacefully.
Already."
"Captain Iron was shot twice and stabbed several times, but none of them were fatal... Captain Shunzi was injured more seriously, but he probably won't die either..."
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." Although Yang Ling heard that his brothers were seriously injured, they were still alive after all, and his mood improved a lot, and he struggled to stand up.
"Brothers, although the Japs have been defeated, they are still running. Anyone who can move should catch up with me. We can't let them go!" Yang Ling said murderously, picking up the bayonet next to him and putting on his rifle.
Although many of their brothers survived, they also sacrificed hundreds of lives. Now that the Japs have become homeless dogs, they have no reason to wait here and watch the Japs escape.
These Japs are running out of ammunition and food and running for their lives in a panic. This is when they are at their weakest, but once they escape, they can quickly regain their fighting strength and fight back.
If they kill one more kid now, it means they will be able to sacrifice one or several less brothers in the future, so Yang Ling is preparing to lead the brothers in pursuit.
Each of these brothers who were still alive had not had a mouthful of hot rice or a good night's sleep in a long time. They had just saved their lives from the gate of hell. Without any hesitation, they grabbed their guns and prepared to follow their commander to continue the chase.
Destroy the devils.
Yang Ling has led them all the way to the present and has always fought side by side with them. He has not backed down even a step because the enemy is strong. Therefore, the brothers also respect Yang Ling as an officer and swear to follow him to the death.
Yang Ling and others also joined the pursuit of the Japanese, and soon they and another group of officers and soldiers blocked more than 30 Japanese who were panicking in a ravine.
"Kill and change!" The Japanese who were in a desperate situation panicked for a while, and finally launched a desperate counterattack under the leadership of an officer, trying to rush out with a fierce look on their faces.
But two Czech-style light machine guns had already blocked the Japs' path. A hail of bullets swept past them, and more than thirty Japs fell into a pool of blood.
"Damn it, you ran so fast after being hungry all day, and you finally killed me!" The company commander who led the team cursed and put away the Czech machine gun, turned to thank Yang Ling and the others, and then noticed that Yang Ling was a colonel.
"Sir!" The captain and company commander hurriedly wanted to raise his hand to salute Yang Ling, but thinking that this was a battlefield, he put his hand down halfway: "Sir, it's thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to catch up with these Japs.
"
"It's all about beating up the Japs. There's nothing to thank you for." Yang Ling ordered Wang Zikun and the others to check if there were any Japs pretending to be dead. He pulled the company commander aside and said, "My brothers have no bullets. You guys have no more bullets."
Can you give it to me evenly?"
"Easy to say!"
The company commander agreed without hesitation and gave Yang Ling and the others more than a hundred rounds of rifle bullets, so that Yang Ling and the others were finally armed again.
