Warning posts are usually set up at night, mainly to guard against enemy sneak attacks, and are basically canceled after dawn. However, in order to guard against Japanese sneak attacks from alleys, He Guangming did not cancel the guard posts after dawn.
As a guard post, it is not allowed to be exposed unless the Japanese launch a sneak attack.
But now, the guard post did not even care about the latent discipline, and directly shouted at He Guangming at the top of his voice. This shows that the situation is very serious.
what's the situation?
At that moment, He Guangming raised his head and asked loudly: "Big dog, what's going on?"
The sentry dog replied: "Battalion Commander, there are many fellow villagers coming to the street ahead!"
"What are you talking about, fellow countryman?" He Guangming was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "Big dog, are you blind? The folks in Tieling have already evacuated to Fengtian."
The big dog became anxious and said loudly: "Batalion Commander, if you don't believe it, come up and see for yourself!"
Seeing that the big dog didn't seem to be talking nonsense, He Guangming quickly went up the ladder to the roof, and then looked in the direction of the big dog's fingers. Sure enough, he saw a large number of people turning around from the street in front, and it was a large area of darkness.
There were at least hundreds of people, and there was still a steady stream of people popping up later. I don’t know how many people there were.
Seeing such a scene, He Guangming was completely stunned. What is going on?
Why did so many people suddenly appear? Even if there are still people hiding in the city, there cannot be so many, so these people can only come in from outside the city, but Tieling has been surrounded by devils, and these people are
How did he get in? Thinking of this, He Guangming's heart suddenly sank. Could it be that?
After all, He Guangming is a veteran and has seen a lot. He immediately thought of a very scary possibility. Could it be that the little devil wants to drive the common people to use them as human shields? Isn't that too despicable?
However, the more he was afraid of something, the more likely it would come. Just as He Guangming thought of this possibility, he saw a small group of Japs hiding behind the common people and appearing at the street intersection in front of them.
"What the donkey said!" He Guangming's face fell instantly.
If this had happened before, He Guangming would have given the order to open fire, because the team of Japs was only a hundred meters away from their guard position at most. But now, He Guangming did not dare to give the order, because there were still people standing in front of the team of Japs.
As for the common people, if you shoot rashly, it is easy to accidentally injure the common people.
Soon, a battalion of officers and soldiers guarding the ground also discovered the approaching civilians.
Seeing these ragged, unarmed compatriots with bitter expressions slowly approaching, the officers and soldiers of the battalion guarding the position were instantly confused. Although they had seen the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the people, no one dared to shoot.
!What is the purpose of being a soldier and fighting in a war? Isn’t it just to protect the common people?
If we point our guns at the common people and our compatriots, then what kind of soldiers are we still doing? What kind of war are we fighting?
Of course, if you are a scum who brings disaster to the country and the people, or an idiot who is beguiled by others, you must still shoot if you should!
However, the people who were driven over by the Japs in front were not puppet soldiers who were causing harm to the country and the people, nor were they tempted by the Japs to help the Japs to fight them. They were obviously forced, as can be seen from their frightened expressions.
When they came out, they actually didn't want to come. They were forced to come by the Japanese.
In this situation, how could a battalion of officers and soldiers be able to do this and fire?
In an instant, the atmosphere on the battlefield became unprecedentedly solemn, and the air became stagnant.
Seeing the Japanese getting closer and closer under the cover of the common people, a new recruit named Danzi, who had recently joined the first battalion, finally lost his composure. He immediately raised his Mosin-Nagant rifle and tried to take aim and shoot. However, before he could pull the trigger,
A veteran standing next to him slapped him on the back of the head.
"You idiot, put down your gun!" the veteran shouted sternly, "Our Communist Party team will never point its guns at innocent compatriots. Even if it means death, we will never shoot at innocent compatriots. Remember?"
The second idiot yelled miserably: "But, instructor, they are not innocent in providing cover for the Japanese!"
"Fart!" the veteran scolded, "Didn't you see the Japanese holding bayonets on their backs? They were all forced to do so!"
"But, are we just waiting like this?" The second idiot asked angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese hiding behind the people opened fire. After the clear gunfire, several officers and soldiers on the position fell down instantly.
At this scene, the eyes of the second idiot instantly turned red, and he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Instructor, are we just waiting to die like this?"
The veteran's facial muscles twitched twice, and he said miserably: "You idiot, do you know what the predecessor of our Eighth Route Army is? The Workers' and Peasants' Red Army! Do you know how the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army came from? It came from workers and farmers! If we put
With the guns pointed at our compatriots, our worker brothers and peasant brothers, does our army still have the basis to exist? Is it still necessary to exist?"
After a pause, the instructor continued: "You idiot, remember, our Communist Party team will never point their guns at innocent compatriots even if they die, let alone shoot at innocent compatriots! We
The Communist Party's team is the team of the poor people. It will only protect the people, but will not harm them. Send me an order to withdraw from the position!"
As soon as the instructor gave the order, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion guarding the first line of defense quickly turned around and retreated.
During the retreat, the Japanese who were hiding behind the common people took the opportunity and knocked down several of them.
However, there is only a small area of the block controlled by the First Battalion, and it cannot retreat indefinitely. After abandoning two lines of defense in succession, the First Battalion has only the last line of defense left. At this time, the First Battalion's defense
The depth is even less than a hundred meters, and what's worse is that behind you is the south gate city wall, and the Japanese are already waiting on it.
However, the little devil will not show mercy to the officers and soldiers of the first battalion just because of this.
The officers and soldiers of the first battalion were unable to retreat, but the little Japs still held bayonets, forcing the people who were driving from Yinzhou to press forward step by step, while firing frequently. The officers and soldiers of the first battalion were unable to fire back, so they could only
They were helplessly shot one by one, and there was no use hiding in the ruins. After all, there were not many real shooting corners, and the Japs were good at shooting!
It was definitely not going to work if this went on. He Guangming couldn't bear it and shouted angrily: "Listen to the fellows in front, we have tolerated it time and time again, but now we have no retreat. If you go forward again, it will be a help."
If the little devil bullies his compatriots, then we have to shoot back!"
As soon as He Guangming finished speaking, a man opposite him fell to his knees with a bang and cried out with tears: "Boss opposite, there is nothing we can do. The Japanese have captured the big baby, the second baby, and the baby."
Mom, if I don't go away like this, I will kill the two babies and their mother, boss, there is nothing I can do."
The next moment, the people who came in front immediately fell to their knees.
The Japanese snipers who were mixed in with the crowd quickly knelt down when they saw this, otherwise they would become targets.
He Guangming was already ready to give the order to fire, but when he saw this scene and the words "fire" came to his lips, he couldn't yell anymore. Comparing his feelings, if his wife and children were taken hostage by the Japs,
I'm afraid he has no choice but to give in, but then again, before he dies, the little devil can't even think of kidnapping his wife and children!
After all, He Guangming did not give the order to fire, but just roared loudly at the man who was kneeling on the ground with a miserable expression: "They say that the gentlemen of the three Dongsan provinces have backbone. How heroic were you when the Japs first invaded the three Dongsan provinces? But ten million
I didn’t expect that you would degenerate into this, you are a bunch of cowards, I look down on you!”
After finishing his roar, He Guangming turned back and shouted at the officers and soldiers of the battalion: "All of them are here, bayonets on!"
The officers and soldiers of a battalion on the position instantly realized what the battalion commander wanted to do, and all of them suddenly looked miserable. However, no one disobeyed the order. All officers and soldiers, including the wounded, silently pulled out bayonets from their waists and inserted them into the slots.
Then, he held his rifle with the bayonet mounted in both hands, ready to charge.
At a certain moment, He Guangming suddenly jumped up from the ruins, strode towards the south gate city wall in front of him, resolutely launched a charge, and howled: "Brothers, charge, charge with me!"
The next moment, the last remaining 400 or so officers and soldiers of the first battalion stood up from the ruins, followed He Guangming, holding shining bayonets, and launched a tide-like charge towards the South Gate city wall, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese troops.
In the front, hundreds of Japanese soldiers have already been waiting on the south gate city wall. At least two Type 92 heavy machine guns and six crooked light machine guns are also ready to fire. The commander of the eight machine guns has already
The saber is raised high, and as soon as the captain gives the order, he will give the order to fire without hesitation.
"Charge, kill..." Amidst the tide of shouts, hundreds of Chinese soldiers with bayonets in hand rushed out from the streets and alleys in front, launching a desperate charge towards the South Gate City Wall.
After a moment, the Japanese leader who led the team finally waved down his saber, and the eight machine gun commanders also waved down their sabers.
Tear the silk, tear the silk! With a hoarse roar, the eight light and heavy machine guns on the city wall and hundreds of 38 guns opened fire violently at the same time. The dense bullets poured over in an instant, hitting the people who had just come from the front.
The Chinese soldiers rushed out of the streets and alleys. The next moment, the Chinese soldiers fell piece by piece like cut wheat.
In the crowd, He Guangming's strong body suddenly stopped and was shot!
A round of bullets almost smashed He Guangming's chest into a sieve. After a pause, He Guangming fell violently behind him.
After falling to the ground, He Guangming stared angrily at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, gritted his teeth and shouted: "I will not die with my eyes in peace, I will not die with my eyes in peace, I will not die with my eyes in peace..."
