Chariots rumble, horses rustle, and pedestrians carry bows and arrows at their waists. This is a saying in an ancient poem by the ancients. It refers to soldiers going out for battle, but the long river of defeated troops in front of them no longer has that majestic and tragic character.
Later generations have such a saying when evaluating the Chinese army at that time, or the so-called national army.
When it comes to attacking or defending, sometimes the fighting will is quite strong, but when it comes to retreating, the team will be in chaos.
The order to retreat came in a hurry, and the entire army command system was extremely complicated and there were many factions. So if you wanted to retreat, I also wanted to retreat. From the beginning, the scramble to kill the enemy turned into a scramble to retreat.
What's more, with the pursuit of Japanese infantry on the ground and the bombing of Japanese aircraft in the sky, the army has changed from not fearing death to everyone fearing death. In this case, it is not surprising that the retreat turned into a rout!
And this is still the torrent of defeated troops that did not carry any heavy weapons. If there were any heavy weapons, the retreat would only be more chaotic.
But then again, who would bring heavy weapons since they were retreating? The heavy weapons of each army were either exhausted on the Songhu battlefield or abandoned during the retreat.
However, congestion will also occur when people are crowded. This situation is like attending a temple fair. There is no one to maintain order at this time, and a stampede accident is by no means a new thing.
"Everyone get out of my way, otherwise I won't have eyes in the butt of my rifle!" Mr. Wang, who was wearing a fancy hat on his back, got a rifle from nowhere, so he took the butt of the rifle. Feinting forward.
"That idiot, why are you squeezing in the back? Get out of my way!" Hu Zhuzi was also scolding.
Northeastern people always have the loudest voices, which in Northeastern dialect is called chattering.
It's just that others were chirping, but Tiger Pillar was not. Because he was a tiger, his attacks were not serious. He just pushed forward with his rifle sideways and blocked the two soldiers.
The two soldiers were pushed by Hu Zhuzi and staggered, but they looked at Hu Zhuzi who was so tall and his eyes were as wide as those of a bull's eyes and did not say anything after all.
You are a soldier and I am a soldier. Everyone has a gun. Why should I be afraid of you?
But in fact, the soldiers behind were really afraid of the Northeastern soldiers. Of course, it can also be said that they were lazy and had the common understanding of the simple-minded Northeastern soldiers.
The reason here is that people from the Northeast are generally taller than people from the South, and the 67th Army came over a long distance. Although the battle was brutal, it only lasted three days. They were still better than other troops on the Songhu battlefield. Soldiers need to be strong
But it was Shang Zhen's idea that Mr. Wang, who was now responsible for cutting off the rear, and the others acted so fiercely.
They came in halfway. How could they find their own space on the road without stopping the people behind?
The organization of each army has been chaotic. Whichever group has more people at this time and which group behaves more fiercely will appear stronger among these unorganized rout troops, and no one dares to provoke them!
The tiger is afraid of being stunned to the point of death.
As for Shang Zhen and others, they behaved fiercely and dumbly. The officers and soldiers who were blocked behind them were naturally unable to do anything to them, simply because they were not the kind to risk their lives.
Shang Zhen's method may seem rude, treating the officers and soldiers behind him as if they were nothing, but in this chaotic situation, it is actually the most effective!
What is a broken army? That is to say, everyone is running for their lives. The organization of each army is already in chaos. Who will care about who? Who can control whom? Who will care about you carrying the wounded?
Even if Wu Keyong is the commander of the Northeast Army, the commander of the Northeast Bureau cannot control the Central Army. Even a soldier of the Central Army can ignore your existence.
In the same way, even if the commander of the Central Army takes charge of the soldiers of the Northeast Army, if the soldiers of the Northeast Army are dissatisfied, their necks will be awkward. If it is disrespectful to the commander and the military law is dealt with, it will never be your turn to have a say in the Central Army.
And if someone yells at this time, I am so long, it would be weird if a soldier fucked you!
Therefore, Shang Zhen had to do this because they not only needed to continue to protect Army Commander Wu Keyong, but also needed to protect wounded soldiers like Commander Zhang of the 108th Division.
Commander Zhang was wounded in the chest by a Japanese bullet. Now his injury has become more serious and he has been carried away on a stretcher by the soldiers.
It's just that the road condition was not good to begin with, and the people of the 67th Army suddenly swarmed up from the side road, so there was a temporary congestion at the intersection.
The entire road was noisy. Although the soldiers with sound limbs and good health were striding forward, the same was true for the wounded soldiers who were limping while walking with their rifles.
However, as they continued to move forward, their speeds varied, and some of the injured were squeezed down by those behind them. Groans, curses, shouts, and even calls for father and mother were heard one after another.
In the chaos, even though Shang Zhen and the others were doing their best to maintain it, when the Sixty-seven team gained enough space to move forward, some people from other armies were still squeezed into their team.
Chen Hanwen, who was only two or three people away from Wu Keyong, glanced at Wu Keyong secretly and saw that the commander had a cold face and was walking forward under the protection of the Northeastern officers and soldiers. Who knew where he was? What are you thinking about?
Chen Hanwen guessed that the military commander might have felt that the hero was at his end and had no more soldiers to use.
But at this moment, Chen Hanwen heard a soldier next to him curse in a low voice: "These arrogant Northeastern guys! They are not good at beating the little devils, but they are so fierce when they show off their power with their own people!"
Just this sentence made Chen Hanwen's face turn red.
All Northeastern officers and soldiers are very taboo about hearing such a statement.
First, the September 18th Incident gave the Northeast Army a reputation for non-resistance.
Second, in order to wash away this infamy, the 67th Army of more than 20,000 people has been almost wiped out. Why are people still talking about September 18th!
But at this time, when I heard people still talking about me like this, how could I possibly bear it with the violent temper of Northeastern people?
Chen Hanwen blushed and was about to argue, but Guan Tiedou, who was right next to him, had already stretched out a hand.
He grabbed the small soldier who was speaking and pushed him, and then the soldier fell to the side of the road, and the rifle he was holding fell to the ground.
"Damn you, if you dare to say anything bad about us Northeasterners again, I will kill you!" Guan Tiedou cursed.
Then Guan Tiedou turned around and scolded Chen Hanwen: "What are you talking about with such an idiot? If you keep talking nonsense, you will be killed!"
Chen Hanwen's face turned redder.
One of the reasons is that these people in the Northeastern Army were scolded by the southern soldiers just now. The second reason is that in my own army, I am also an old man. Guan Tiedou joined later, but he was trained by Guan Tiedou, which was very embarrassing!
But a scholar is a scholar, and a banla scholar is also a scholar.
Although Chen Hanwen was still brave in battle, his scholarly nature was revealed again in peacetime, and he was still a little weaker after all.
Chen Hanwen subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Army Commander Wu Keyong, who was not far from him.
Seeing that Wu Keyong didn't look at him, but his face turned livid, it was obvious that Wu Keyong had just listened to the conversation here.
So Chen Hanwen felt that he was becoming more and more embarrassed, and that he had embarrassed his own group of people!
Chaos and collisions have always existed, and this huge broken army is still rolling forward.
But if that's the case, that's it. After more than half an hour, the entire team suddenly let out a "coax" sound. This time it was even more chaotic. There were even soldiers on the highway running directly under the highway.
The reason is that the shadow of Japanese aircraft has appeared in the distance!
