Chapter 74: Corpses pave the way
On the river beach, it has become purgatory at this time.
Countless bullets and piercing screams rained down from the sky, and the nearly 2,000 officers and men of the Yu Division who were crowded on the river beach could not even find a place to hide.
Bullets are falling from the sky, where else can you hide?
Amid the screams one after another, the officers and soldiers of the Yu Division fell into a pool of blood one by one.
"Steel plates!" Hai Zheng Chong thought of a good way, "Quickly lift the steel plate!" ”
The officers and soldiers of the Yu Division, who were at a loss, lifted the steel plates above their heads one after another, but the cruel reality was that they couldn't lift them at all, each steel plate weighed three or four hundred catties, and it was okay to move forward, but it was really impossible to lift them.
"Add people, add a few more!" Hai Zhengchong said angrily, "Why are they so stupid? ”
So more officers and soldiers of the Yu Division flocked to the side of the steel plate, and the heavy steel plate was finally lifted.
Hai Zhengchong dodged and hid under the steel plate, and when he looked back, he saw that there were only a dozen steel plates that were lifted, and most of the steel plates could not be lifted.
The three main battalions and 2,000 officers and men were also completely stunned.
Except for a small number of officers and men who launched a desperate charge towards the Japanese army's first defense, most of the rest of the officers and men turned into headless flies, making senseless howls from their mouths, and rushing on the river beach.
Many officers and soldiers sank into the raging Nu River, struggled twice and disappeared.
Seeing this, Hai Zhengchong's tears flowed down, my ball, it's gone!
"Dangdang! Dangdang! "Countless bullets rained down from the sky, clanging on the steel plates.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers holding steel plates soon felt their hands sore, and Hai Zhengchong also hurriedly raised his hands to join the officers and soldiers, while shouting loudly: "Hold on!" Don't give up! ”
"The master will save us, and the master will not give up on us!"
"Brothers, listen to me, hold on, hold on!"
"Dangdangdang...... "More bullets fell from the sky and hit the steel plates.
Unfortunately, the bullets that fell from the sky did not really fall vertically, but with a certain inclination, so it was inevitable that bullets would hit the officers and soldiers around them.
With heart-rending screams, the officers and soldiers on the periphery of the steel plate fell one by one.
"Help me, help, Tuanza, pull me up, I don't want to die......"
Hai Zhengchong's adjutant was also shot in the thigh and fell in a pool of blood, reaching out to Hai Zhengchong for help.
Hai Zhengchong burst into tears, but he didn't reach out to pull it, just shook his head very hard.
"Dangdang, Dangdang!" Not far away, another group of officers and men finally couldn't hold on, and the steel plate that was held high above the top smashed to the ground, and more than a dozen officers and men who had lost the protection of the steel plate were suddenly exposed to the dense rain of bullets.
In just a few moments, all of these dozen officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood, either dead or wounded.
When Hai Zhengchong looked around again, he found that there were very few steel plates he was holding.
"Hold on, brethren! The master will save us! Hai Zhengchong roared.
……
On Henglan Mountain, in the observation post.
"Master!" 2 Regiment Commander Yu Dazhi knelt at Yu Xiaoqing's feet and begged, "Master! Send the engineer battalion to bring back the remaining brothers of the 1st regiment! Let's save people first! ”
Yu Xiaoqing was not moved at all.
"Master!" Yu Dazhi pulled Yu Xiaoqing's trousers and shook them vigorously, "Save people!" ”
Yu Xiaoqing was still unmoved, and shouted in a low voice without looking back: "Get out!" ”
Yu Zhi and Li Bing immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yu Dazhi's arms and dragged him out of the observation post.
But Yu Dazhi's pleading voice was still heard outside the observation post: "Master, you can't see death without saving, Master, you can't see death without saving, save the 1st regiment, quickly take them back!" ”
Yu Dazhi's voice was far away until it was completely inaudible.
Yu Xiaoqing seemed to be muttering to herself, and seemed to say to Tang Ji and Zhang Lixian, who had just rushed over: "In all battles, there needs to be advance and no retreat, and our generation of soldiers should not hesitate to die to repay the country, the nation and even the leader!" ”
"Order, the 1st Regiment must not be afraid of the enemy to avoid battle, do not be caught up in the river beach, and immediately launch an attack on the enemy."
After a pause, Yu Xiaoqing's eyes fell on Zhang Lixian again, and said: "Special Battalion, according to the original plan, cross the river!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Lixian stood upright, and said in a nasal voice, "Take care, teacher, the student has taken a step first!" ”
Yu Xiaoqing turned around abruptly and said coldly: "You go first, and Deputy Master Tang and I will arrive later!" ”
Zhang Lixian took a deep look at Yu Xiaoqing, turned around and left.
……
Gaoligong Mountain on the right side of Nantianmen, on the cliff.
Watching the officers and soldiers of the Yu Division who were crowded on the river beach fall one by one, Meng was annoyed, and his eyes were red.
"Haven't you always been resourceful?" Meng was annoyed and said miserably, "Think of a way, save them, if you don't save them, you will be beaten to death by the devil's bullets!" ”
"There's no way to think about it, and there's no way to save it." Wang Yan shook his head miserably and said, "Just the hundreds of people in our Sichuan Legion, hiding in the jungle can still entangle with the Japanese army, once they get out of the forest, it is not enough to even stuff the teeth between the Japanese army!" ”
Meng was annoyed and said gloomily: "But you can't just watch them being killed, right?" ”
"Look at Henglan Mountain." The little bookworm's voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was full of grief and indignation, "The flag is being waved again on Henglan Mountain, asking the 1st Regiment of the Yu Division to continue to attack, attack!" ”
"Yu Xiaoqing, you are a king and eight calves!" Meng was annoyed by the anger of the departure, "You bastard! The 1st regiment has been beaten like this, and it is still going to attack, attacking a ball! ”
"The life of cannon fodder is not life, your own life is life!"
"That's more than a thousand lives, that's a thousand!"
"Run, run! Run! Saying that, Meng was annoyed and yelled at the cannon fodder on the river beach, "Run to both sides, hurry up and run into the forest, run ......."
……
The cannon fodder of the Yu division on the river beach is naturally inaudible.
At this time, most of the 2,000 officers and men of the 1st Regiment of the Yu Division were killed without the protection of steel plates, and even those who were not dead were already seriously injured and unable to move, lying on the river beach waiting to die.
There are about five hundred of them left to be sheltered by steel plates.
Hai Zhengchong and the remaining more than 500 remnants were still waiting for Yu Xiaoqing to send an engineer battalion to pick them up.
It's a pity that they couldn't wait for the engineer battalion, but they waited for the flag command from Henglan Mountain: continue the attack!
"Tuanza!" When a signal soldier saw the flag, he cried out loudly, "The division wants us to continue to attack and defend it!" ”
Hai Zhengchong also saw it, and a touch of pathos flashed in his eyes, but it was reasonable to think about it, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, how could he retreat because of a little setback.
Although for them 1 regiment it was a catastrophe.
But for the entire Yu Shi, this is just a small setback.
In that case, then take the corpses of our 1st regiment of 2,000 brothers and pave the way for the second echelon!
At that moment, Hai Zhengchong rushed out from under the steel plate and yelled: "Brothers, rush with me!" Come on! ”
