Japanese Army General Gen Sugiyama arrived at the North China Front Army Headquarters in Tianjin. After handing over with Juichi Terauchi, Sugiyama Gen officially took over as the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, more than half a year earlier than in history. However, Juichi Terauchi returned home to report on his duties in despair.
"Call the generals for a meeting." Sugiyama Yuan said to the messenger.
"Hi!"
Half an hour later, Tianjin, Japanese Army Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Everyone saluted Sugiyama Gen. Some people secretly cursed the honest-looking Sugiyama Gen, while others looked excited. This is simply because Sugiyama Gen is definitely a militarist.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Sugiyama Gendao, "Today, our topic is to conquer Linyi."
…
Mengyin County
"It's already dark. Let's rest for a day and start our journey again tomorrow." A tall man said to the person next to him.
"That's fine, there's no rush at this time anyway." The frail young man wearing glasses next to him replied.
…
After the great victory in Linyi, the senior officials of the 5th theater prepared to redeploy defenses around Linyi.
The Independent Division is still stationed in Linyi, the 3rd Group Army is stationed in Fei County, Mengyin County, and Pingyi County, and the 59th Army is still stationed in Donghai County and Linshu County.
In Linyi County
"It's great that you are not injured." Xiao Ya hugged Zhou Weiguo's arm and said with a smile.
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, looked at the people on the street. After the great victory in Linyi, many people returned to Linyi. The people had hope in the Chinese army. Then, Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "You, just run over here,
I'm worried."
"I am now the captain of the rescue team of our division. The soldiers have gone to the front line, so of course I will come too." Xiao Ya said with a smile, "What's more, my Ah Tu is also on the front line."
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "By the way, your rescue team's military training has not fallen behind, right?"
"Of course, my marksmanship is quite accurate now."
Zhou Weiguo pinched Xiao Ya's nose, and then continued to move forward. It seemed good to just keep walking with Xiao Ya like this. Then, Zhou Weiguo shook his head, the Japanese devils are still in China, and they will wait until they are driven out of China.
Accompany Xiao Ya back to her hometown in Suzhou, and then have her children and grandchildren around her.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Ya said playfully.
"I, I'm thinking, we have been married for a long time." Zhou Weiguo paused and said, "We have been together for more than a month, why hasn't there been any movement?"
"What's going on?" Xiao Ya didn't understand.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and shook his head, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
Immediately, Xiao Ya reacted, blushed, and said, "Okay, you bully me!"
March 29, 1938 5:30 dawn
The sound of "buzzing" appeared in the sky above Linyi County. At this time, most of the people in Linyi County were asleep, but the soldiers of the Independent Division, except those on night watch, had not yet gotten up.
After hearing the sound, Zhou Weiguo opened his eyes, then reacted and woke up Xiao Ya, "Xiao Ya, hurry up, get up."
"What's wrong? Weiguo?" Xiao Ya said confusedly.
While Zhou Weiguo was getting dressed, he said, "Get dressed quickly, the Japanese plane is coming."
Xiao Ya woke up with a start and quickly put on her clothes.
But after a while, there was no explosion as expected. Zhou Weiguo wondered, could it be just a reconnaissance plane?
"Weiguo, how are you?" Xiao Ya asked. She didn't hear any explosions.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said, "Go out and take a look." Then he opened the door and saw shells falling one after another from the Japanese plane, "Hu Zi! Zhao Sheng!"
"Master's seat!"
"Go, tell the soldiers to take cover, the Japanese bombers are coming." Zhou Weiguo frowned, and then said, "Wait, the Japanese bombing is wrong, there is no obvious explosion sound."
Then, when Zhou Weiguo saw yellow-green smoke rising in the distance, "Fuck! Gas bombs!"
"What?" Huzi said in disbelief.
"Huzi, fire a warning shot! Then go tell the people and soldiers to cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel! Then come to my place to gather!" Zhou Weiguo said. Then, Zhou Weiguo walked into the room and hugged
A bunch of gas masks were brought out and handed to Xiao Ya. Xu Hu and Zhao Sheng said, "Put on the gas masks!" After saying that, Zhou Weiguo also put on a mask himself, and then put it on Xiao Ya.
Huzi then took his gun and shot into the sky.
The gunshot woke up many people.
After a while, Fang Shengli also ran over with a few people. Seeing this situation, without saying a word, he distributed masks to several people around him, and then said, "Come to the camp outside the city with your masks!"
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, kept entering the room and taking out piles of masks. At this time, he had no time to explain why there were so many masks in his room.
Xiao Ya, on the other hand, was stunned as she watched Zhou Weiguo conjure up piles of masks out of thin air, and then helped Zhou Weiguo move the masks together.
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, had already turned red, "What a bloody devil! I am XXXX!"
There are already hundreds of thousands of people in Linyi County, including the common people. Due to the great victory in Linyi a few days ago, many people have returned, but at this moment, many people are about to die again. The gas mask exchanged by Zhou Weiguo costs 5 points
One, hundreds of thousands of people, would cost 500,000 to 600,000 points. However, there was no time to deliver the gas masks to the hands of the common people and soldiers.
A cannonball landed in the courtyard where Zhou Weiguo was, and then yellow-green gas quickly ran out of the cannonball and filled the entire courtyard.
In desperation, Zhou Weiguo and others had no choice but to go to the street holding gas masks. However, it was only dawn now, and the sky was only just a little brighter. How could there be people there! Even if Hu Zi had fired a warning shot just now! Hear the sound of gunfire
The common people would only hide in their own firewood sheds or cellars!
"Folks, come out quickly, we are from the independent division! Come and get the gas masks!" Zhao Sheng shouted, but wearing a mask, his voice was loud and soft.
Zhou Weiguo looked around. The whole city was slowly filled with yellow-green gas, and all the masks in his hands fell to the ground. The Japanese planes were still dropping artillery shells.
…
Linyi northern position
"Tuanzuo, this is the Japanese gas bomb!" Wang Zhi covered his face with a wet towel, and then said to Zhang Xin, watching some of the soldiers in the camp crying, some sneezing, huddled up, and twitching
Then, slowly, there was no sound.
Wang Zhi, with red eyes, blamed himself deeply for discovering it too late.
"Let's go," Zhang Xin took a deep breath and covered his mouth and nose, "Gather the soldiers who are still alive and go to the headquarters! Go to the rescue station!"
…
Zhou Weiguo knelt on the ground and kept hitting the ground with his fists. He hated himself. Why didn't he give the soldiers gas masks? Why didn't he take precautions before they happened? Why did he come back to guard Linyi so confidently! If it weren't for him, his men would
The soldiers in Linyi will not die, and the people in Linyi who are most exploited and oppressed by the Japanese army will not all die!
"Ah!" Zhou Weiguo shouted, his fists already drawing blood.
"Master!" Zhao Sheng choked, as a veteran, he naturally knew what happened today.
Xiao Ya was frightened by Zhou Weiguo's reaction. She had never seen Zhou Weiguo like this. Then, she hugged Zhou Weiguo and grabbed his hand, "Weiguo! Weiguo! You have to cheer up, the soldiers have to rely on you."
You lead them to fight the Japanese." Xiao Ya, who was also choked with sobs, still persuaded Zhou Weiguo.
"Xiao Ya!" Zhou Weiguo's heart palpitated, "There are hundreds of thousands of people! Hundreds of thousands of people!" Zhou Weiguo burst into tears and howled.
"I know, I know!" Xiao Ya kept comforting, and also cried and persuaded.
At this time, the members of the special operations team slowly gathered around Zhou Weiguo, and everyone's eyes were red.
When Xu Hu looked at the number of people, his nose felt sore again and he raised his head. He knew that the 35 people who had not arrived might not arrive in the future.
"Brother!" Liu San, who was also wearing a gas mask at this time, said, "Brother, you are the commander of the independent division and our captain. Any of us can cry, but you can't."
"Third brother, why are the Japanese so ruthless?" Zhou Weiguo cried, "The lives of hundreds of thousands of people! Hundreds of thousands of people! They are all common people! It doesn't matter if they are soldiers, but in Linyi County, there is a county seat
Ah, how dare they! How dare they!"
Liu San lifted Zhou Weiguo up, and then said, "Let's go, we must go now! If we don't go, do you want the remaining brothers to bury the dead with you?"
At this time, sporadic gunshots rang out from the northeast of Linyi County, indicating that the Japanese had begun to attack.
Zhou Weiguo stood up, then pushed through the yard next door and bumped into the residence. Then, he saw dead people huddled in the room.
Zhou Weiguo went crazy and ran out again and entered another common people's house, where he only saw corpses.
When Liu San saw this, he slapped Zhou Weiguo on the back of the neck with his palm.
Zhou Weiguo's body went limp. Xu Hu and Zhao Sheng quickly held him back. They looked at Liu San and knew that it was an urgent moment. Then they dragged Zhou Weiguo out and walked out.
By this time, it was already past 6 o'clock.
Fang Shengli, with dozens of surviving soldiers, had gathered around Zhou Weiguo.
Looking at the survivors, including the 15 soldiers of the special operations team, there were only 63 people in total. Fang Shengli almost spat out a mouthful of blood. These were the soldiers he personally recruited and trained for so long, and then he sent them to the battlefield.
, Unexpectedly, more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 young lives, stayed in Linyi. But he knew that he could not be willful. Zhou Weiguo's mood has not calmed down. Now he was knocked unconscious by Liu San. He is the top commander of the independent division.
He had to break out with the remaining people. Moreover, the gunshots he could hear were becoming more and more intensive.
"Quickly, help the master to the car!" Fang Shengli saw a soldier driving over and said immediately, "Get in the car quickly, Xu Hu, you drive. Zhao Sheng, protect the master and his wife. Third brother,
My special forces team and my brothers and I cut off the rear of the car."
"Okay!" Everyone responded and immediately took action.
