Watching Zhou Weiguo go and Tang Jiujiu go away, Dragon Boat Festival began to let himself go. His enchanting dance moves made everyone laugh.
But this is the Dragon Boat Festival, he is always the focus of everyone. Some even started dancing with him.
Because in this war era, it is difficult to have a moment of joy, especially for soldiers like them who are fighting on the front line.
At this time, driven by the Dragon Boat Festival, they were happy, and they were under the long-lost morning sun.
Dragon Boat Festival also wanted them to continue to have fun, but it was already three o'clock in the morning and the Japanese would attack at any time.
At this time, he needs to do three things: boost morale, boost morale, boost morale!
Important things must be repeated three times, because if there is no advantage in numbers and firepower, all that is left is momentum.
Therefore, at such a critical moment, the Dragon Boat Festival cannot demoralize the soldiers. And especially the 40th Division, and his brothers in the Independent Regiment.
They all came down from the front line, and logically they should not stay in Jiangyin Fortress. They need to retreat to the rear to rest and recuperate like other troops on the Wu Fu Line.
The original Dragon Boat Festival also meant this. After all, a tired army cannot win a battle.
However, at this time, the Japanese army invaded in a large scale, and the war was about to break out. If they leave, Jiangyin Fortress may not be able to hold on to the Japanese invaders today. And even if it could be defended, there would probably be heavy casualties.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival must stay temporarily and guard the Jiangyin Fortress.
So just when the atmosphere is high, the Dragon Boat Festival will push the entire atmosphere to a new height again.
He called more than 300 people from the 40th Division brought by Zhou Weiguo, as well as all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, to the position.
The soldiers of the 40th Division were a little confused. Some of them were still wounded and wondering when they could go to the rear. After all, the frontline troops of the Wufu Line had already retreated to the rear of the Xicheng Line.
But they are still stranded on the front line - Jiangyin Fortress.
Although they didn't ask for anything, they would discuss it with each other when no one was around. Others had withdrawn, so why didn't they withdraw? Moreover, more than a dozen brothers were killed in the battle last night.
They were very panicked, and Zhou Weiguo also left. They don't know where they should go.
Relatively speaking, the mood of the independent group is relatively stable. Although Duanwu once told them that when they arrived at Jiangyin Fortress, they would pick up the people and leave. But they still had no complaints. Because they also saw the battle last night, the enemy's attack was very fierce. Once the war starts, go all out. Faced with such a group of enemies, if they really leave regardless, I am afraid that Jiangyin Fortress will not be able to hold on for half a day before it will be captured by the Japanese army, and the 112th Division will also suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment never mentioned the fact that Duan Wu had not mentioned leaving.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of grassroots officers such as Zhao Beishan, Sun Shiyu, and Zhu Shengzhong.
At the same time, Duanwu once again stood on a high place holding his Type 38 rifle and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, as a special commissioner, I know very well that your battles are very heroic. You are worthy of being my good Chinese man.
You are all the best soldiers, and I have seen the strong will of each of you.
Some of you have been fighting for a month, two months, or even three months.
The long battle has exhausted you physically and mentally.
Your comrades-in-arms, your brothers, and your relatives died on the battlefield in Shanghai, Suzhou, Changshu, Fushan, and even in countless unknown towns and wilderness.
I feel the pain and anger in your hearts.
However, the Japanese would not stop the war because of our suffering. They are still continuing to attack, and they are still greedily plundering our resources, occupying our territory, killing our compatriots, and desecrating our sisters.
They are here to destroy our Chinese nation!
So as long as these beasts are still wreaking havoc on Chinese territory, as soldiers, can we withdraw from this war through peace talks? "
"Can't! Can't!!!......"
The roars of the soldiers filled the air at this moment, and the boiling blood reached the boiling point with the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival.
They didn't know why, but when they heard the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, each of them couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.
Because they were witnesses and witnesses of the Battle of Songhu. They saw with their own eyes the evil deeds of the Japanese army.
Although they were once timid and even thought of running away.
But again and again, day after day, when fighting the Japanese, when my comrades fell in a pool of blood, when I saw those innocent relatives being brutally killed by the Japanese invaders, when I watched those sisters being raped by the Japanese invaders. They can no longer seek a peaceful life as they did in the past.
They want to fight, they want to kill the Japanese, they have never been so eager.
And if the ferocity of the Japanese comes from their bushido, the bravery of the Chinese soldiers is all due to anger.
They couldn't wait to eat his blood and sleep on his skin to relieve their inner resentment.
However, at this moment, when the emotions of the soldiers were high, Duanwu once again dropped his bombshell.
He waved to all the soldiers and said: "As a special commissioner, I can't give you anything. I can't fight on behalf of each of you, and I can't bear your death and sorrow.
All I do is provide you with the best weapons. Give you the confidence to defeat the enemy and give you a worry-free rear.
All soldiers who have retired from the front line will be given 20 yuan each. This is what you deserve. You were very brave in the battle on the front line and showed the momentum and majesty of us Chinese.
Although Wu Fu’s line was lost, it’s not a shame. We made the little devil pay an extremely heavy price!
Every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, this blood definitely does not belong to us Chinese, but to the Japanese.
And here and now, Jiangyin Fortress! This is the burial place of their little devils! "
"well!"
At this moment, all the soldiers present cheered again.
Although they also know that these 20 yuan are the money they left to buy their lives. But at this moment, who dares to retreat, and who can retreat?
Because they have no retreat, Nanjing is a hundred kilometers behind them. It was their capital, and their relatives were there.
Just imagine how many people were left homeless and displaced when the Japanese army invaded the Songhu area. They kept walking west until they reached Nanjing. But at this time, the little devil hit the Xicheng line again. After crossing the Xicheng Line, you will reach Nanjing.
They no longer know where they can retreat. Nanjing is the capital, and if the capital is gone. So is China still there?
At this time, perhaps everyone has such a question mark in their mind.
They had all doubted and hesitated. But only that man didn't. Even if one of his legs was lame, he still stood there directing the battle and boosting the morale of the soldiers!
At this time, Commander Huo was in awe and sighed in his heart: "If China had a few more soldiers who were like special commissioners, why would the little devils bully them all the way to Nanjing?..."
