After the explosion of the front mortar squadron temporarily deployed by the 2nd Battalion of the 56th Regiment, the headquarters of the Japanese 13th Regiment also launched a fierce attack on Chunhua Town under the order of its commander Yuzo Sakata. .
Although He Zhongyu led his troops to resist desperately, the Chunhua Town position still showed signs of wavering.
"Battal Commander, Battalion Commander! The first line position of the Second Company on the front line has been breached!" A soldier whose face was darkened by gunpowder smoke ran over and reported to Wei He. He didn't look very old, only about seventeen or eighteen years old. appearance.
"What?! Where is the second company commander Shen Lei?!" After hearing the news, Wei He became anxious. He had only been guarding for more than half an hour, but the first line of defense was broken. How could he hold on for the rest of the time?
When Nicheng Yi mentioned the matter of Second Company Commander Shen Lei, the soldier burst into tears: "Battal Commander...Second Company...Second Company Commander, he died because of the position that the brothers fought to the death to hold." Even...all the brothers in the second company are going to die..."
After hearing the news, Wei He's face sank.
I saw him saying to Gu Shi'an next to him: "Captain Gu, lead a squad of brothers to break out! Help me bring a message to the group, saying that I, Wei He, am ashamed of my kindness to the group."
"What? At this time, you asked me to lead a squad of brothers to break out of the encirclement by myself? What will you do?" Gu Shi'an was anxious. He knew that the war had already reached this point, and staying in Chunhua Town would definitely be a dead end. One piece.
Wei He took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "Wei He has not completed the tasks assigned by the regiment, and I must not lead his troops to retreat."
"But...but..." Gu Shi'an was anxious. He meant to let Wei He lead his troops to break out of the encirclement and withdraw while there is still a chance!
"Stop being stubborn and execute the order!" This time, Wei He directly ordered Gu Shi'an in a commanding tone.
"Captain Wei, let's go! Chunhua can't be defended anymore! There are so many Japanese troops, and it doesn't make much sense to add another life to yours..." Just when Gu Shi'an wanted to continue to persuade, a Mauser pistol was fired at On his forehead.
"Execute the order, otherwise I will immediately enforce battlefield discipline here!" Wei He said coldly, without any hint of joking.
Seeing that Wei He had reached this point, Gu Shian had no choice but to execute the order.
In the darkness, Gu Shi'an solemnly saluted Wei He with a military salute: "Battle Commander Wei, I am humble enough to retreat now!"
"Yes." Wei He nodded, "Remember to bring the message to the group for me. Thanks!"
After saying this thank you, Wei He also solemnly returned a military salute.
After returning the military salute, Wei He turned around and said to the brothers beside him: "Leave one squad of soldiers to follow Captain Gu to break out of the encirclement. The rest of them will go with me to fight to the death with the little Japanese!"
"Yes!!" Wei and the officers and soldiers around him responded immediately, leaving only a dozen or so people to follow Gu Shi'an and stay in place.
Looking at Wei He's leaving back, Gu Shi'an's heart was filled with respect: in the face of survival and justice, Battalion Commander Wei chose national justice. He is an upright Chinese and an upright Chinese soldier!
While respecting and admiring him, a trace of curiosity arose in Gu Shi'an's heart: What kind of ability did Zhang Yulin, who was at the same time as him, be able to be at the forefront of his classmates and become the leader of the group? A brave man like this?
"Let's go!" Gu Shi'an waved his hand and left with more than ten soldiers in the direction of the retreat of the large army.
…
"Ah! Someone ran away over there! Chase him quickly!"
Some sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers had already discovered the direction in which Gu Shian and others were escaping, so they quickly chased after them.
After realizing that there were Japanese pursuers behind him, Gu Shian immediately asked the soldiers behind him to retreat in two directions. One of the groups followed him. No matter which group the Japanese pursued, it was an escape for the other group. Opportunity.
In the darkness, the officers and soldiers who had been divided into two teams disappeared into the dense jungle...
…
In the dark sky, Zhang Tianhai and the main force of the penetration regiment, which was missing the first battalion, were marching along a remote path that was not very wide.
"How is it? How is the situation at the front?" Zhang Tianhai asked Chen Yuxiong. As the temporary third battalion is the forward force of the entire temporary regiment, Chen Yuxiong naturally has an indispensable responsibility.
"We should be arriving soon. We should not be far from the railway line here. As long as we advance along the railway line, we can achieve the strategic goal of entering Wuhu as quickly as possible." Chen Yuxiong said.
"Okay. It'll be fine if we're almost there. It's been almost two and a half hours. I don't know what the situation is like at the First Battalion." As he said that, Zhang Tianhai looked towards Chunhua Town where the sound of gunfire could be heard. , face full of worry.
"Tuan Zuo, you can rest assured. Lao Wei Taji has his own destiny. He can survive after so many battles. Then, he will definitely come back alive this time." Liu Houming, who was following Zhang Tianhai, said , he and Wei He are old comrades-in-arms, and he also doesn't want anything to happen to Wei He.
"Well, let's hope! Let's go. When we get to the railway, I will leave a squad of soldiers waiting for Wei He and them to come back." Zhang Tianhai looked very serious. As long as Wei He has a glimmer of hope to come back, then he will take Wei He and them back. And bring it back!
Wei He was uneducated and a straight man. Apart from his martial arts skills that could beat people to death, he only had loyalty to his regiment leader.
Yes, that's right, he was loyal. Zhang Tianhai was kind to him and dared to use him, a rough guy who didn't even know a few Chinese characters except for his martial arts skills. He even mentioned him to the position of commander of the secret agent company.
If I had to use one sentence to describe Wei He's current state, it would be most appropriate than "You treat me as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman."
At this time, the Chunhua Town battlefield had turned into a sea of fire, and there were only about 20 people left around Wei He.
"More than a thousand people have blocked the main force of the Japanese army for more than two hours. There are still 18 minutes left before the task time assigned by the regiment." Wei He looked at the piece of armor on his hand from an unknown Japanese officer who was killed. Liba pulled off his watch and murmured.
An hour ago, the 56th Regiment of the Japanese Army had already breached the first-line position in the direction of Chunhua Town towards Tangshan Town. Wei He could only lead more than a hundred soldiers who had been detained from Gu Shi'an. Officers and soldiers defended along the key points of the second line position.
Now, an hour has passed, and there is no movement over there. You don't need to think about it, it must be all dead and injured.
"Brothers, after this bombardment is over, we will hit the road together." Wei He said with a grin.
The brothers who could still stand up all around slowly stood up. Wei He counted and found that there were still twelve who could stand up. Those who could not stand up were all seriously wounded who had lost the ability to fight.
"Brothers, now we have run out of ammunition and help. Let's be brothers again in the next life..." As he said that, Wei He smiled softly. There was absolutely no chance of survival in this battle. , now I just want to see how he will die, nothing more.
In this battle, even if you die, you must die with dignity and make it worthwhile!
