Chapter Eighty-Five: Sixty-Five Heroes

The devil withdrew from the water and entered the ditch and fled all the way to Xulai County, and only after leaving Qingfeng County did he take a short rest, reorganize the team, and once again line up neatly and march towards the county seat.

When I arrived near the county seat, it was close to dusk, and I saw that the flag hanging on the city gate was no longer my own plaster flag, but the flag of the national army! The soldiers couldn't believe their eyes! The duck to the beak actually flew!

Jiro Kawashima snatched the binoculars and looked at the city gate, and the soldiers of the national army were already in battle! The muzzles of the two infantry guns are facing the devil like a tiger's mouth to devour people, and the soldiers on the city wall raise their guns and aim, ready to go to war at any time! It seems that the tide is turning!

"Yaga! I will definitely take it back! Walk back to Round City! Jiro Kawashima yelled!

The devil troops turned around and set off for Yuancheng County! The people and weapons that have just been defeated have suffered heavy losses, and they can no longer withstand the toss!

Commander Li of the 318th Regiment on the city wall wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "It's so dangerous! This empty city plan will never dare to use it for the second time! ”

"The group is smart! This robbery took advantage of the fire to recover Xulai County without much effort! But that's a big achievement! Battalion commander Liu Qiming said.

"I want to thank Zhao Mancang of the Mo Dao Group! If he hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have dared to do this! Not to mention, his hundreds of rabble really defeated the devil's attack! The combat effectiveness is really impressive! I'm wondering if if we can stop the devil's attack this time! Head Li said.

"It's not that I hacked myself, just now the devil really wanted to fight, and we couldn't hold it! How did he defeat the devils? "Liu Qiming is full of curiosity!

The two were chatting happily, and at this time, the Modao group had returned to Sunset Valley.

"This harvest is really not small! Killed 1,231 devils, captured 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 3 were broken, 1 was fine, and 16 boxes of shells. Sixteen mortars, still checking for damage, nine crooked machine guns, and a number of bullets. There were more than 1,100 Type 38 rifles, and the bullets were not counted. ......" Wang Yi had already come back to report.

"What about the casualties?" Ogura asked.

"Sixty-five people were sacrificed, and more than 100 people were injured and are being treated in the hospital!" Wang Yi's mood suddenly sank!

“…… Sacrifice so many people! "Since the establishment of the smoking cessation team, there have never been any casualties. This time, sixty-five people were sacrificed at once, which is really unacceptable to you! After a long while, he continued, "Have all the bodies been recovered?" ”

"All of them were recovered, most of them were killed by machine gun wounds, and they all appeared in the recruit team." Wang Yi said.

"Let's go to the recruits!" Ogura said and walked out.

When I came to the barracks where the recruits lived, I saw a row of soldiers' bodies neatly placed in the open space, and the soldiers were all gathered around with solemn expressions. Full of boxes are also present, looking at the remains of so many soldiers, I don't know what to say!

Ogura walked to the body, bowed deeply for a long time before straightening up and said, "Brothers! Everyone is very sad for the sacrifice of these sixty-five soldiers! Including me, it's hard to accept! From the smoking cessation team to the Modao group, this is the first time that there have been casualties! But that's war! You are martyrs! Everyone had the courage to fight, not afraid of sacrifice, and won the battle in exchange for victory! This time, more than 1,200 enemies were annihilated, and a heavy blow was dealt to the devils! It is precisely because we are not afraid of fighting and sacrifice that the devil realizes that we Chinese are not easy to bully! The War of Resistance has me, and I will win! ”

"The War of Resistance has me, and I will win!"

"The War of Resistance has me, and I will win!"

"The War of Resistance has me, and I will win!"

"Tomorrow we will invite all the families of the soldiers who died, and we will hold a public memorial in the place where they fought! Let the people of the whole county remember their heroes! ”

The next day, the Qingyang Morning Post reported on the anti-Japanese feat of the Modao Regiment. The Modao Regiment made its debut to annihilate 1,231 devils, and sixty-five heroes died heroically! In the afternoon, a public memorial will be held for the heroes in the place where they once fought!

The news has spread, and the citizens of Qingyang are a sensation again! The incredible achievements made people rush to tell each other and cheer! Qingyang City is boiling! Qingfeng County is boiling! Black Dragon Town is boiling!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the water entered the ditch, and 65 coffins were neatly placed at the mouth of the ditch, and the corpses of more than 1,200 devils were also piled aside. The fathers and villagers of Heilong Town came, the people of Qingfeng County came, the refugees from Xulai County came, the head of the 318th Regiment Li and the county magistrate Feng Zicai all came to participate in the public sacrifice, and the small ravine was crowded with people!

Commander Li of the 318th Regiment stepped forward, bowed deeply to the sixty-five heroes, and said aloud:

"Folks! This time, the devils took advantage of our New Year to carry out a sneak attack on Yuancheng County, Xulai County, and Qingfeng County! As a result, Yuancheng and Xulai counties were lost, and a large number of people were homeless! When it hit our Qingfeng County, fortunately, the soldiers of the Modao Regiment fought hard and fought stubbornly! Only then did we save Qingfeng County from being destroyed! Only then did our 318th Regiment have the opportunity to send troops to recover Xulai County in one fell swoop! The sixty-five soldiers who sacrificed and the Modao Regiment are all heroes of our three counties! We will always remember their names! ……”

Finally, the family representatives of the victims came to the stage on behalf of Uncle Deng: "Folks! My grandson is one of the sixty-five sacrificed this time, he died for fighting devils, and it is worth dying! I'm old and can't speak. But I know that the devils are coming to bully us, so we can't let them run amok! There are Kogura and Mo Dao Regiment, and there are all the officers and soldiers who block us for us to live steadily! ”

The public memorial service did not end until dusk, and Ogura and the soldiers of the Modao Regiment buried sixty-five people in the place where they had fought. The angry people once again set fire to the corpses of the devils to pay tribute to the heroes!

Under the leadership of the Modao Troupe, people sang "Loyal to the Country" again, and the passionate tune echoed in the valley, and they couldn't calm down for a long time!
