"What? Give up the wounded?"
As soon as Zhou Weiguo's words came out, some of the officers present voiced doubts. Because those are the brothers who have fought side by side with them. Give them up? Not to mention Zhu Shengzhong and others, even the brothers of the 522nd Regiment did not want to carry out this order.
But at this time Zhou Weiguo said: "Do you think we abandoned our comrades and fled? We went to continue fighting.
The combined strength of the 522nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment only has more than 700 men capable of fighting. Now there are more than 110 wounded.
As a rule, we need two people to take care of a wounded soldier. And we have to leave some people in the city to hold back the Japanese. We still need to break out of the encirclement and divide our forces to go to the tiger's mouth. We still have to go to rescue Changzhou. Now tell me, do we have the strength to leave with so many wounded people?
And how to leave? The wounded will affect our marching speed. Maybe the Japanese are already waiting for us before we reach Erdaogou. When the time comes, let alone picking up the Dragon Boat Festival and calling for reinforcements for Changzhou, even whether we can rush out alive is in doubt. When we die, do you think the Japanese will treat our wounded well?
Don't think that we left our comrades behind and ran for our lives, but that we fought tooth and nail to fight for time with the little devils.
Remember, on the way to this breakout, if anyone is injured or unable to move, including me, it is the time for me to fight the Japanese. We must let the Japanese see and see the backbone of the Chinese people. We would rather die than be prisoners, do you understand? "
"clear!"
At this moment, no one had any doubts. Maybe they had before, but at this time everyone understood what Zhou Weiguo said. They did not abandon their comrades and run for their lives, but continued to fight.
Some of them will die, and some will be injured. And when that time comes, they, like their comrades staying in the city, will have no choice but to fight with the Japanese.
The wounded members of the Independent Regiment and the 522nd Regiment soon received the news. But they showed no dissatisfaction. They come to the front line to kill the Japanese. Although they are injured, they can still pull the trigger and continue fighting.
The soldiers who are about to leave salute the brothers who have fought side by side but had to leave them behind, and pay the highest respect.
Because these wounded soldiers not only have to stay here, but also have to stop the Japanese pursuit.
The wounded soldier smiled brightly when he saw the tears of his brothers. Although the smile looked miserable, it was still bright, just like the flowers facing the rising sun in spring.
They said goodbye to their comrades with smiles, and the last thing their comrades could do was to leave them with a large amount of Japanese weapons and ammunition.
Those who were seriously injured were lying in a truck filled with explosives holding one or several grenades in their hands. Once the Japs rushed over, they would detonate the explosives and die together with the Japs.
Those who were injured and could still move, they gathered together in twos and threes and used the Japanese machine guns, heavy machine guns, and rifles to form no less than thirty firepower points, large and small.
These firepower points are used to stop the Japanese. Because just ten minutes later, all the soldiers will launch an attack on the Japanese outside the North Gate. They will rush out from the North Gate, and then, led by Bai Qingfeng, go to Erdaogou. From there, the Japanese have detoured to the west road of the city to escape. The Japanese ambush.
At this moment, at the city gate in the north of the city, all the soldiers were lined up neatly. They held steel guns in their hands and loaded the bullets. At Zhou Weiguo's order, they would rush out of the city gate and fight a bloody path.
As time passed, Zhou Weiguo walked to the front of the team with his pocket watch.
He waved his hand, and a battalion commander trotted up to him. Zhou Weiguo said: "The first battalion will take the lead with me. If I die, the 522nd Regiment will be handed over to you. If you die, it will be handed over to the Second Battalion Commander. If the Second Battalion Commander wants to die, he will be independent." Group, do you hear me?"
"Shall we rush forward?"
The first battalion commander had some complaints. Because it is obvious that whoever rushes to the front will have the greatest probability of sacrifice.
"Obey the order and don't let the Independence Group laugh at you."
Zhou Weiguo scolded, and his voice was not loud, but Zhu Shengzhong still heard it. He said disdainfully: "Forget it, let's let our independent group charge ahead. Such shameless people will be in trouble once they retreat after a firefight. Humph, you are also considered direct descendants?"
"How do you talk?"
The first battalion commander asked, but Zhu Shengzhong said disdainfully: "If you don't want to die, go to the back. If you are duplicitous at this time, you will only die in an ugly way."
"you?"
The first battalion commander was very angry, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Zhou Weiguo cursed a piece of trash, and then said to Zhu Shengzhong: "I will take the lead with your independent group."
Zhu Shengzhong refused and said: "No need, you should take good care of your people. Being timid is a taboo for military strategists. If these two were in our independent regiment, let alone battalion commanders, we wouldn't want them to be the top soldiers." "
As he spoke, Zhu Shengzhong waved his hand, and the soldiers from the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment quickly stepped forward. Five of them went to open the city gate, while the rest followed Zhu Shengzhong and filed out in the night.
The little Japanese were prepared, but they did not expect that the Chinese army would break through from the North City Gate.
But even so, the little devil also sent two squadrons, which have been waiting outside the North City Gate for a long time.
They stood in the shadow of the city, forming two attacking formations.
squeak! ...
A flare slowly rose into the sky, illuminating all the murderous faces of the Japanese.
They stand at the foot of the North City Gate, just like sculptures. But what is different from the sculptures is that they all have long spears and shining bayonets in their hands.
The Japanese machine gunners, including heavy machine guns and light machine guns, formed at least three cross-fire points along the front of the team.
And each of the hateful-looking Japanese soldiers stood in the middle of the three fire points without any cover.
At this time, when seeing this scene, any timid soldier would probably be scared to the core.
And this is why Zhu Shengzhong uncharacteristically asked the people of the 522nd Regiment to get to the back. Because if the charging officers were timid and led their soldiers back, not only would there be heavy casualties, but it was also very likely that all of them would die under the North City Gate.
Zhu Shengzhong held a submachine gun and spat disdainfully. Then he roared angrily: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Brothers, we can only move forward and not retreat. Don't embarrass our group! Charge me!..."
