170. Fighting (4)

January 3, 1939, Rushan City.

Zhu Ziming led Li Wu's group and directly occupied Rushan City. It can be said that he was very satisfied. Rushan City is a seaside city in Shandong, bordering Haiyang to the south and Wendeng to the north.

"Brother, this time, our Second Brigade can be said to have made a big splash!" Li Wu said with a smile, speaking in dialect.

"That's right! Our Second Brigade has now captured a county town!" Zhu Ziming replied with a smile. Only by fighting bravely to kill the enemy will he feel that he still has some effect. Now the independent division is getting stronger, but he was born in

The bandit, who became a major general and brigade commander, felt somewhat uneasy.

"I have already told the second master the good news," Li Wu said again.

"Hehe, well done." Zhu Ziming patted Li Wu on the shoulder. A big victory finally made him feel less uneasy.

"What? You said that the Second Brigade directly occupied Rushan City?" Zhou Weiguo was surprised when he heard the soldiers read the telegram, then fell silent for a moment and said, "Immediately order the Second Brigade to withdraw from Rushan City and stick to Haiyang!"

"Yes!" The orderer didn't understand why, and he didn't need to understand why, but as long as he could convey orders, that would be enough.

"Weiguo, why is this?" Li Weimin asked after listening to Zhou Weiguo's order and seeing the ordering soldiers leaving.

"Originally, our attack was not to expand, but to effectively kill the enemy." Zhou Weiguo said, "Although Big Brother and the others captured Rushan, we do not have the conditions to defend Rushan. Rushan is close to the sea, and when the Japanese navy comes,

, the casualties of the Second Brigade will be very heavy. Therefore, I asked them to withdraw immediately."

"I see."



"What? What did you say?" Li Wu looked at the messenger, confused.

"Reporting to the regimental commander, the division commander ordered that our brigade should evacuate Rushan immediately." The ordering soldier saluted and replied.

"Brother, what do you mean by being the second in charge?"

Zhu Ziming was silent for a while and said, "No matter what it means, this is a military order, and we must carry it out! Pass the order, immediately withdraw from Rushan, and stick to the surrounding area of ​​Haiyang."

"Yes!" The messenger immediately ran away.

"Brother, do you really want to withdraw?" Li Wu was not willing to accept it. Rushan was not an important town, and was only defended by a Japanese brigade. He first attacked Panshidian Town, and then used a blitzkrieg to surprise Rushan City. After capturing Rushan City, the second

The brigade's morale was as high as a rainbow. For a time, morale soared.

"Withdraw!" Zhu Ziming replied.

"But what do the brothers think?" Li Wudao said, "We have worked hard to capture Rushan, and we have not even passed a day, and we are about to withdraw. What do the brothers under my command think?"

Zhu Ziming sighed. He had already figured it out while he was silent. Rushan was not easy to defend. Once the Japanese navy appeared, even if they wanted to withdraw, it would not be that easy. Then he said, "Rushan is easy to capture but not easy to defend."

, let the brothers evacuate quickly. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to leave when the Japanese ship comes."

"Hey, that's what it looks like!" Li Wu patted his head and suddenly realized, "I'll go supervise you right away!"

"Go." Zhu Ziming smiled helplessly. After becoming a regular army, his life has changed a lot. Even if he is a brigade commander, he still has to participate in military training. But as a serious Northeast man,

Zhu Ziming would not be a coward. Even if he was with the new recruits, he would still participate in the training. Even if his training results were indeed not as good as some soldiers, he never felt there was anything wrong. After all, he was almost 40, so he was tolerant.

The attitude is still there.

When Zhu Ziming looked at the sea in the distance, he sighed, how could these great rivers and mountains be completely free of wars and smoke of gunpowder. But after a while, it got hot, and Zhu Ziming squinted his eyes, and he seemed to see many black spots.

.

Immediately, he took a telescope and looked at the sea. In his field of vision, there were densely packed Japanese warships.

"Hey! The Japanese are crazy!" Zhu Ziming said to himself.

Then, he saw the artillery on the battleship and opened fire.

"I'm going to suffer!" Zhu Ziming said secretly, and then hid himself. In Rushan City, they had not built any decent fortifications at all.

After a while, it got hot, and the Japanese warships, fighter planes, and bombers also took off.

"Come on, hurry up and call for our air force support!" Zhu Ziming shouted loudly, but he didn't know that his call for support directly caused huge losses to the independent division.



"Master, fighting has started in Rushan City. The Japanese battleships directly bombed Rushan." A soldier said to Zhou Weiguo.

"Didn't the Second Brigade withdraw?"

"Before we could retreat, the Japanese came."

"Does the Second Brigade Commander have any other news?"

"The second brigade commander called for air force support!"

"What?" Zhou Weiguo stood up. Calling for air force support may have been Zhu Ziming's subconscious reaction, but calling for air force support meant that Zhu Ziming had the intention to guard Rushan, but Rushan was really difficult to defend. Then,

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, Zhu Ziming and others were always full of blood, but sometimes they did lack a sense of the overall situation, "Tell the Air Force not to confront the Japanese head-on, but to deal with them and cover the retreat of the Second Brigade."

"yes!"

"Tell the Second Brigade to withdraw to Haiyang immediately and defend it!"

"yes!"



When the artillery shells equipped by the battleships fell in Rushan City, bursts of explosions followed. There were also the buzzing of airplanes overhead, and the bombs dropped by Japanese bombers had the tendency to directly destroy Rushan.

Rushan instantly became a Shura hell. The Japanese artillery bombardment was intensive, and the shells dropped by the bombers were also very dense. It can be said that the Japanese had been holding back their anger for more than ten days and wanted to let it out this time.



"Hahaha, the Chinese have no forts to deal with our battleships this time!" A Japanese major general laughed, "This time, I will make the Chinese pay the price!"

"Hi!"

"Order, Air Force, to bomb everything that can be bombed."

"Hi!"



Zhu Ziming raised his head from the soil. There was still a buzzing sound in his ears and he was a little dizzy. A shell had just not been too close to him and hit him directly with a pile of soil.

When he looked at Rushan City again, it was basically unrecognizable.

Many people were sitting on the street crying, not knowing how to hide, holding the corpses or remains of their relatives. Seeing this, Zhu Ziming regretted that he led his troops to occupy Rushan recklessly.

"Brother, big brother!" Li Wu's voice came, a little anxious.

"Here!" Zhu Ziming said loudly.

"Brother, the second master ordered us to withdraw from Rushan immediately with the support of the air force!" Li Wu said loudly.

"Okay, Third Brother, hurry up and gather the brothers, let's evacuate!" Zhu Ziming knew that this was not the time to show off as a hero. Even though he now had an artillery regiment and a reconnaissance battalion directly under him, in front of Japanese aircraft and battleships,

The head is of no use.

"yes!"

However, Zhu Ziming always felt that he was sorry for the people of Rushan. If it weren't for them, the people of Rushan would not be hurt like this again.

But, "Hey." Zhu Ziming finally let out a long sigh and said nothing more.



"Captain, the Japanese fighter planes are watching and not moving!" A voice came from Qiu Ao's ears.
