The scene that happened in the middle of the Yangtze River did not escape the eyes of Xu Rui and others.
Seeing the Japs on the gunboats and armed merchant ships pushing the cannons and other heavy equipment loaded on the boats into the river, Xu Rui's lips immediately twitched into a sneer, and the Japs finally came back to help.
The veteran couldn't hide his shock and turned back to take a deep look at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui glanced at the veteran and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"How can you be so sure that this old devil Shigeto Chiaki will definitely be with his headquarters?" The veteran frowned and said in confusion, "What if he has already crossed the river with the large army? How can your entire plan be changed?"
It’s ruined”
Xu Rui smiled happily and said: "There is no way to soak up the water. Even if the old devil Shigeto Chiaki has crossed the river, he can only return to help me obediently. This is because the technical equipment left in Jiangbei belongs to him, unless
He doesn’t want to live anymore, otherwise, he will have no choice but to lead his troops back for reinforcements, hehe.”
The veteran was awe-inspiring when he heard this. These technical equipment belong to Shigeto Chiaki.
Turning his head to look at the pier, the veteran saw the raging fire rising into the sky.
Just now, the veteran still didn't understand why Xu Rui ordered the burning of technical equipment that could not be taken away.
You must know that these technical equipment are treasures. Whether it is military radio stations, engineering equipment, artillery or artillery observation equipment, they are all treasures that are hard to buy. Not to mention the medical equipment and a large number of medicines in the two Japanese field hospitals.
, those are really life-saving treasures.
If you can't take these treasures away, you can just repeat the old trick and find a place to bury them, so why have to burn them?
But now, the veteran understands that this is Xu Rui's design. This is simply to force the Japanese infantry who have crossed the river to return for reinforcements. Moreover, the veteran seriously doubts that the fire is also a lie. Xu Rui only
I'm afraid I've already ordered those technical equipment to be hidden.
When the veteran looked back, he saw a dozen armed merchant ships loaded with Taiwanese Japanese invaders. Escorted by four gunboats also loaded with Japanese soldiers, they rushed towards the Nantong Pier in Jiangbei. Apparently, including Shigeto Chiaki,
, none of the devils realized that half of their feet had stepped into the gate of hell.
Through the field of vision of the telescope, the veteran can even feel the fatigue and confusion of the Japanese gunboats and the Taiwanese Japanese invaders on the armed merchant ships. The veteran can't help but feel inexplicable sadness for them. Although these Taiwanese Japanese invaders are hateful, they are still Chinese after all.
, we are all compatriots after all.
After a while, these Taiwanese traitors will be shot and slaughtered like pigs and sheep by twenty 92-type heavy machine guns spread out in a row on the heavy machine gun position. After a while, the corpses of these Taiwanese traitors will lie all over the place.
The river beach, and their blood, will also dye the entire river beach, and even the entire Yangtze River, red.
Dividing line
As a corporal in the 2nd Squadron of the 4th Squadron of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment in Taiwan, Li Bian had no idea what was going on. It seemed that after he returned to Nantong from Jingjiang, everything went into chaos.
First, they marched more than 200 miles to Nantong. Before they could catch their breath, they rushed all night to storm the Nantong Pier.
Although they successfully captured the dock in the end, they had to cross the Yangtze River southward.
Then, just as they set foot on the land on the south bank of the Yangtze River, before they had time to take a breath, they immediately received an order from the detachment headquarters, asking them to board the ship immediately and return to the north of the Yangtze River.
After receiving the order, not only Li Bian cursed his mother in his heart, but also the entire squad and even the entire battalion of soldiers. What on earth was going on?
However, everyone only dared to curse in their hearts, but no one dared to curse publicly.
Because those fierce Japanese officers are by their side. In the Taiwan garrison, also known as the Chongteng detachment, all officers above sergeant rank are Japanese. In the eyes of these Japanese officers, they Taiwanese are just inferiors. During training, these officers beat and scolded them and did not treat them as human beings at all.
However, Li Bian did not hate the Japanese for borrowing officers, but he hated the mainlanders.
Man is really a very strange creature. For example, after the founding of New China, all the unequal treaties that Chairman Chiang wanted to abolish but did not dare to abolish were abrogated, which resulted in the brutal blockade and sanctions of the Western powers. At this time New China is obviously a victim, but some unreasonable people insist on saying that China is doing something wrong. They always say, why do you have no friends in China? Why does the Western world block you? It’s because you Chinese people are on the wrong team.
According to the divine logic of these people, China should continue to be governed by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. The unequal treaties imposed on us by the West should be maintained. We should please the West and continue to be slaves to the West. Our descendants should bear this burden when they are born. They incurred a huge debt that they would never be able to repay in their lifetime.
Li Bian also adheres to this kind of divine logic, so he hates mainlanders. The Japanese want to rule the mainland. Why don't you mainlanders let you see us Taiwanese as imperial citizens? Isn't it fun to do so? It's not bad either. Why do you mainlanders resist the imperial army? You deserve to die.
These damn mainlanders, Li Bian thought bitterly, don't let me catch you.
Li Bian picked up the 38 cover, carried his backpack, and joined the rolling tide of soldiers to gather at the Fushan Pier. At this time, the water level of the Yangtze River had ebbed, so the navy's transport ships could not dock. In addition, the Fushan Town's The dock facilities had been severely damaged in previous battles, so Li Bian and the others could only wade into the boat.
This was really a difficult journey. As soon as I stepped into the river beach, the mud immediately reached my knees.
Fortunately, this stretch of river beach was not too long, and in the end Li Bian followed the entire team of comrades on board the boat.
Then, the transport ship converted from an armed merchant ship began to turn around and slowly sailed to the Nantong Wharf in the north of the Yangtze River.
Only then did Li Bian have the mood to follow his comrades in the same team to the side of the deck, and then look towards the Nantong Pier in the north of the Yangtze River. Looking up, he saw several huge mushroom clouds rising over the Nantong Pier. In addition, there were fierce gunshots and explosions.
In addition, they also vaguely saw someone on the river beach in Jiangbei.
Because the distance was too far and they didn't have telescopes, they couldn't see clearly.
However, after crossing the center of the river, Li Bian and others gradually saw it clearly.
After seeing it clearly, Li Bian and the others couldn't believe their eyes.
God, Emperor Guan, Empress Mazu, how is it possible, how is it possible?
Li Bian and others were horrified to see that the artillerymen, engineers, medical soldiers and staff of the headquarters who had not yet crossed the river had been driven to the river beach by the squadron. These poor guys had fallen into the mud of the river beach. With nowhere to hide and nowhere to run, he could only cry and fight under the guns of the squadron.
The tragic scene unfolding in front of him made Li Bian extremely confused. Hadn't the squadron already crossed the river?
Why are there still squadrons in Jiangbei? How are these squadrons so close to the dock? Could it be that all the Japanese troops left in Jiangbei are dead? They didn't send any guard troops around.
Even if Li Bian wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why this happened.
However, Li Bian is just a low-level soldier, so he doesn't need to think about it at all.
With a long whistle, the transport, which was converted from an armed merchant ship, ran aground. At this time, it was still at least a thousand meters away from the river bank.
The squad leader and three sergeants borrowed from Japan were already walking back from the bow of the ship, driving down the Taiwanese soldiers clustered on the side of the ship like ducks.
That's right, the officers borrowed from Japan asked them to wade into the water to attack the squadron in Jiangbei and recapture the dock. Although most of the technical equipment on the dock had been burned, and there were very few technical troops left in Jiangbei, Li Bian felt that even if If we take back the dock now, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the equipment back either.
However, the order from the headquarters was still to recapture the dock.
Li Bian thought to himself, this was probably because it was related to the dignity of the imperial army. How could the majestic Japanese imperial army be defeated by the Chinese?
"Hey, get off the boat, get off the boat quickly, get off the boat, everyone get off the boat." Captain Yamada appeared next to Li Bian with a strong Shizuoka accent, then reached out and patted Li Bian's helmet hard, and Li Bian quickly bowed. He said "Hai", then he followed the fellow villager over the side of the ship and climbed up the rope ladder with the Sanba Daigai on his arm.
There were three small boats moored under the rope ladder. Three sergeants were standing on the bow, supervising the Taiwanese soldiers getting on the boat with cold eyes. After the boat was filled with people, the oarsmen immediately began to paddle towards the river beach ahead.
However, the boat had not gone a hundred meters before it ran aground on the river bank.
"Go, get off the boat, get off the boat quickly, grab the beach, grab the beach and attack, attack"
The sergeant commander roared loudly and jumped into the river first with a bayonet in hand.
"Kill!" Li Bian yelled as well, and then he climbed over the side of the boat with a bayonet in hand, and jumped into the river. With a pop, the river water was up to the top of his thighs, and he hadn't even taken two steps. , the cold river water poured into his military boots and wet his pants, and his steps immediately became heavier.
However, what made Li Bian feel even more uncomfortable was the mud beneath his feet.
Under the turbid water, there is calf-deep silt.
Moreover, the closer to the shore, the thicker the mud beneath his feet. When Li Bian walked out of the waterline, he found that the mud was already up to his knees. Every step forward required more effort than usual. The situation reminded Li Bian of the time when he was growing rice in the paddy fields when he was a child. It was a gray memory.
The only good thing is that they were not attacked.
Seeing the Japanese army launching a large-scale beach landing, the Chinese soldiers who had been standing on the shore and firing guns withdrew one after another. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. But at this time, Li Bian and the others also saw clearly In the tragic scene on the river beach, thousands of artillerymen, engineers and staff were huddled in the mud and shivering. Most of them were injured, and the blood flowing from their bodies almost stained their entire body red. River beach.
