The breakout operation of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army has officially begun.
Before the smoke from the explosion dispersed, Hou Zhigang personally led 60 commandos and rushed forward. The 20 machine gunners in the front row couldn't help but fire fiercely at the endless smoke and dust in front of them with their machine guns.
After firing, the scorching bullets flew into the smoke and dust in an instant, leaving tiny trajectories in the thick smoke.
The ground beneath their feet was not flat. Collapsed beams, rafters, crumbling walls, and large craters caused by blasting formed countless obstacles. Coupled with the thick smoke and dust generated by the explosion, the commandos could not see clearly where they stood.
The ground is on the ground, so if you are not careful, you will fall down and get bruised and swollen.
However, these were not enough to stop the commando's charge.
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army are not even afraid of death, so are they still afraid of falling?
"Ouch... charge, charge, brothers, charge with me!" Hou Zhigang took the lead, with a machine gun hanging around his neck. He rushed forward with a roar. He missed his foot and fell to the ground. His forehead was bruised. He got up and continued.
I rushed forward, tripped again and my cheek was scratched, and blood started to flow. I got up and continued rushing forward.
Behind Hou Zhigang, sixty commandos roared loudly and rushed forward.
The first hundred meters went very smoothly. Although there were constant falls along the way, there was no resistance from the Japs, because the Japs within a fifty-meter radius of the center of the explosion were either killed on the spot or shocked to death. They
It was no longer possible to get up and stop the charge of the Sichuan Army commandos.
But it will take time for the other little devils from all directions to come over.
It takes time for the troops to respond, from receiving the report to the commander making a judgment and then issuing orders level by level. This all takes time.
Therefore, the first 100 meters went very smoothly without any obstruction.
However, starting from a distance of one hundred meters, Japanese reinforcements began to arrive from the east or south neighborhoods of the city. They opened fire fiercely from the front and the left and right sides at the commando team breaking out in the middle. The commando team inevitably began to suffer casualties, running and running.
Then a commando fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Don't stop, don't worry about the Japs on both sides, charge, keep moving forward!" Hou Zhigang roared loudly, while holding a crooked machine gun and firing violently at the front, without stopping for a moment, he kept flying forward.
Suddenly, Hou Zhigang felt his feet slip and he fell heavily to the ground.
Damn it, did you fall again? Hou Zhigang cursed and turned over to get up from the ground.
However, after this exertion, he realized that the entire left half of his body was no longer in control. As a result, he sat down on the ground less than an inch before he could sit up. Hou Zhigang's heart was frightened, and he stretched out his hand to touch it again.
He found that his right chest was already wet. After touching the wet mark, Hou Zhigang immediately felt miserable. He had been shot! And it was a vital part!
Being shot in a vital part during a breakout often means death. As a veteran of the army, Hou Zhigang knows this very well, because the army cannot stop because of you alone!
Hou Zhigang immediately took off the crooked handle hanging around his neck and handed it to a veteran: "Here you go, melon peel!"
The veteran nicknamed Guapi took the machine gun and hung it around his neck, but then he bent down and reached out to help Hou Zhigang, saying at the same time: "I will help you at the camp, and I will take you to break out of the encirclement!"
"Leave me alone! Hurry up and rush forward!" Hou Zhigang pushed Guapi away and shouted at the other commandos, "Hurry up and stand forward. Don't stop. Don't stop. Brothers, rush forward.
Charge forward..." Hou Zhigang shouted angrily, but shed tears at the same time. He wanted to charge forward with his brothers, but it was a pity that he would never have the chance again in this life.
The veteran nicknamed Guapi took a deep look at Hou Zhigang, then turned around suddenly and rushed forward with a howl.
"Come on, charge on, don't stop!" Hou Zhigang shouted, taking off two grenades from the pocket on his waist, tapping the helmet on his head lightly, and then holding the grenades, he rushed to both sides of the gap. After a moment
Afterwards, two explosions sounded from the Japanese positions on both sides of the gap, and a dazzling red light shot into the sky.
Hou Zhigang was not the only commando who chose to die with the Japanese after being injured. Almost all the injured commandos chose this path. A quarter of an hour later, the commando finally broke out of the encirclement through the blasted passage and emerged from the southeast of Jiujiang City Wall.
He rushed out of the gap in the corner, but at this time, there were only twelve people left in the sixty-man commando!
In a distance of just over a thousand meters, the commando team was reduced by as much as 80%!
However, the sacrifice of the commandos was not without cost, because they used their own blood and lives to pave a bloody path for the subsequent large forces!
Half an hour later, Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong were the last group to come out from the gap in the southeast corner of the city wall. By this time, more than a hundred Japs were swarming from both sides of the passage.
Like streams of light, they criss-crossed through the gaps in the city wall. They looked picturesque, but once they were caught, they would immediately be killed or injured.
Moreover, at this time, there were Japanese soldiers coming around outside the city wall, and the distance was less than a hundred meters away.
"Old soldier!" Xu Rui shouted, and Leng Tiefeng immediately appeared in front of Xu Rui. Xu Rui shouted again, "You take Fengzi and Tiger Duan with you, be careful!"
This was originally planned. After the siege was broken, Leng Tiefeng led the Siberian Tigers, and Han Feng was responsible for breaking up the rear, trying to delay the Japanese pursuers for at least a quarter of an hour. Only in this way, the main force of the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army and the puppet
Only the remnants of the military garrison brigade have a chance to break away from the Japanese and escape.
"Yes!" Leng Tiefeng responded, turned around and shouted, "The Siberian tiger has no arrows!"
The Siberian Tiger and Han Feng immediately stepped forward and responded loudly: "Yes!"
Leng Tiefeng's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted: "Follow me!"
After saying that, Leng Tiefeng rushed into the darkness. The Siberian Tiger and Han Feng responded, each holding an imitation Czech light machine gun and a Mauser 98k sniper rifle, and disappeared into the darkness.
The main force of the 799th Regiment and the remnants of the puppet garrison brigade fled away like a tide. The area within a hundred meters near the gap soon fell into silence. It was not until a moment later that the little Japs who had detoured from outside the city wall arrived one after another. A moment later, there were more
Japanese soldiers poured out from the gap in the city wall like a tide, and the three groups of little Japanese soldiers soon merged into one.
Then, the merging Japanese soldiers immediately bit the 799th Regiment's tail and chased after them.
However, less than two hundred meters after chasing, a dazzling muzzle flame suddenly bloomed in the darkness ahead. The Siberian tiger lurking in the darkness opened fire. The Siberian tiger held the Czech light machine gun flat and fired a long burst.
The thirty-round magazine was quickly finished, and more than a dozen of the Japanese who were chasing forward fell down immediately.
The Japanese who followed up fell down one after another, or half-crouched on the spot, and raised their guns to shoot.
Hot bullets poured down like raindrops in an instant, and several grenades fell with a squeaking scream. However, the Siberian tiger had already moved and continued to fire violently dozens of meters away. The Japanese who had just stood up to pursue them fell down again.
After falling to the ground for a while, the team's speed inevitably slowed down.
Seeing this scene, Captain Iida Haruki of the 55th Infantry Regiment became furious.
"Baga Yalu! Don't get entangled with the small group of enemy troops. Rush forward and bite the Sichuan Army! Bite them!" Iida Yangshu pulled out his saber and pointed at the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army that was quickly moving away under the night cover.
The main force looked up to the sky and howled. At this moment, Iida Haruki's intestines were really about to turn green. He shouldn't have been careless!
If Iida Haruki had listened to Ueno Kamio's order and stepped up his guard, the outcome would have been very likely to change!
After all, the Sichuan Army's 799th Regiment's breakout was actually very lucky. If the Japanese army had reacted faster, the two infantry squadrons that had circled around from the outside of the city wall would have had a chance to block the 799th Regiment before it broke out.
Keep them alive, and the 799th Regiment of the Sichuan Army will be doomed, and Xu Rui will also die!
It's a pity that this is just an assumption, because Iida Haruki did not obey Ueno Kamio's order, he was careless!
"Chase! Bite them, bite them, bite them..." Iida Haruki held up the sharp imperial sword and kept roaring. The eight messengers behind Iida Haruki scattered away, and soon
, the converging Japanese soldiers stopped lying on the ground and fired, and stood up one after another, rushing forward fearlessly to face the Siberian tiger's machine guns.
The Siberian tiger immediately changed its combat strategy, firing violently and retreating in large strides.
After retreating about one thousand meters, the Siberian tiger entered a dense forest. After retreating more than a hundred meters, the Siberian tiger got rid of the entanglement of the Japanese army, then hid the machine gun in the bushes and fired with a backhand.
He pulled out two sharp bayonets, then lightly kicked his legs, climbing up a big tree as quickly as an ape.
Not long after, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed into the woods with torches.
Seeing the opportunity, the Siberian tiger swooped down from the tree branch like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. Several Japanese soldiers heard the sound of cracking in the air above their heads. When they looked up quickly, they saw a black shadow rapidly enlarging in front of them. Then, before they could wait,
Before they reacted, the Siberian tiger had already hit them hard on the head, and two of the Japanese were knocked down on the spot.
The Siberian tiger took advantage of the situation and cut the throats of the two Japanese soldiers with one slash.
Then, before the surrounding Japs could react, the Siberian tiger jumped up again, brandishing a sharp bayonet, and pounced on another Japs. The Japs had no time to react, and the Siberian tiger pierced the heart and fell upside down.
On the ground, it was not until this moment that the surrounding Japanese soldiers finally reacted.
"Xinei!"
"idiot!"
"Cunning Chinaman!"
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers roared and raised their sharp bayonets to stab the Siberian tiger.
However, the Siberian tiger ducked behind a big tree and disappeared without a trace.
