Chapter 419: A Battalion Full of Wounded Soldiers
During the night, all the defenders in the Sixing warehouse were assembled, and even the wounded soldiers were carried on stretchers and set aside.
Yu Zhiqian and Xie Jinyuan stood on the top of the first floor, glanced at the survivors, and everywhere they looked, they were all wounded.
Small wounds, such as a bayonet cut, or abrasions, etc., were not bandaged, or even treated, and continued to fight with a gun, and minor injuries did not leave the line of fire, which is vividly shown here.
The soldiers in front of him, some with a broken hand, one with a broken leg, with a thick bandage on their abdomen, all kinds of things, looked like a remnant.
None of the uniforms remained intact, and everyone had a thick layer of blood on their bodies, and some of their faces were almost indistinguishable, except for a pair of eyes, which were jet black.
But it was such an army that looked like a defeated army, and it held out for five days here in the Sixing warehouse, repelled more than 80 Japanese attacks, killed more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, and wounded countless people, while it only paid more than 100 casualties.
The eyes of these soldiers were very tired, and the five days of fighting had made these steel men physically and mentally exhausted, but even so, the resolute gaze could be seen in their expressions, and now if the Japanese rushed in, they would be torn to pieces immediately.
"Brothers!"
Yu Zhiqian roared, and all the soldiers immediately responded in unison: "Here!" ”
The sound was so powerful that even the Japanese who were a few hundred meters outside the Sixing warehouse could hear it clearly, and they felt that the sound could break through the sky, and even the people on the other side of the Suzhou Creek could hear this sentence in unison.
"What's going on in the warehouse?" The Japanese soldiers at the front looked up in the direction of the Sihang Warehouse in some surprise, and even some Japanese officers took out their binoculars and looked at the Sihang Warehouse, thinking that something big had happened in the Sihang Warehouse.
Everyone inside the warehouse didn't know that their uniform answer had attracted so much attention, and Yu Zhiqian's gaze swept over everyone present.
"In the past five days, we have repelled nearly 100 times from the Japanese, crazy attacks, the devils bombed with planes, tanks, artillery, poison gas bombs, so to speak, in order to take us down, everything is done."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhiqian stared at everyone again, and swept over each of their tired and immature faces one by one: "However, the Sixing Warehouse is still in our hands, and we use the guns in our hands and tenacious perseverance to tell the Japanese that they are not invincible, they want to occupy China, they are not enough, far from enough!" ”
"Mine is right!"
"That's right! Right! Right! ”
"Brothers, although I know that you still want to kill devils, but now, we have received an order to retreat, and the chairman has issued three orders for us to retreat, as a soldier, we need to obey orders, so, tonight, we have to retreat from here!"
When hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, many soldiers looked at each other with each other, not knowing what to say, Yu Zhiqian coughed lightly: "Everyone doesn't want to retreat, they want to fight for their lives and fight to the death with the Japanese, I can understand, I, Yu Zhiqian, also want to fight with the devil to the end, and keep the bullets for myself at the last moment!" ”
"But now we are first and foremost soldiers, we have to obey orders, we have completed the blocking task excellently, we can retreat, we are not retreating, nor are we defeated, but the transfer after winning the battle, so don't have a psychological burden!"
For the retreat, many soldiers are reluctant in their hearts, they have decided to live and die with the Sixing warehouse, and the previous army is constantly retreating and retreating on the battlefield, and every retreat will have a large area of land lost, and many soldiers no longer want to retreat.
"We retreated, just to better fight the devils, there are 300,000 devils in Shanghai, no, now there are only 2780,000, the rest have been killed by you, there are also in Beiping, and there are also in the three eastern provinces, so brothers, we don't lack devils to kill, what we lack is people who kill devils, so everyone can understand!"
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, all the soldiers stopped whispering, but soon a regiment commander raised his hand: "Sir, where are we retreating?" ”
"Don't worry, we retreat this time, I will take everyone, leave Shanghai, go west, go to Nanjing, go to Wuhan, go to Chongqing, after a good repair, and then kill the devil, what do you think?"
"Good!"
Because of the death of Matsui Ishine and Hatohiko Asakanomiya, the Japanese army sent to Shanghai after the complete occupation of Shanghai, and kept biting the tail of the Chinese army until Nanjing, and the two initiators of the massacre that shocked the world disappeared, and the Japanese army is still in Shanghai and did not continue to attack.
The Japanese soldiers who pursued the Chinese army at the beginning were taken seriously when Yu Zhiqian sent five or six telegrams a day informing Nanjing and various places.
First of all, the Chinese army was originally retreating, without any discipline, for fear of being caught up by the Japanese, and a brigade of Japanese soldiers could chase a division or even a army.
Now on the way to retreat, there are constantly troops intercepting and blocking the pursuing Japanese troops, so that the pursuing troops do not dare to pursue excessively, and at the same time they must be on guard at any time, and the Chinese troops that may appear will not be able to raise the speed of the pursuing Japanese at all.
After the retreating Chinese army was constantly retracted and disrupted, it was reorganized into different armies, and began to slowly take the shadow of the retreat, and some troops had begun to garrison along the Yangtze River.
Yu Zhiqian didn't know about this, and now Yu Zhiqian was more worried about Nanjing, he was still reminding President Jiang and other people in several telegrams every day, hoping to change something, what he didn't know was that because of him, he had begun to change a lot.
Yu Zhiqian's retreat plan in the Sixing Warehouse is also very simple, similar to Xie Jinyuan's method before, that is, to cross the Suzhou Creek, and then rush out of Shanghai under the cover of night, of course, it is definitely impossible to do this openly.
The Japanese are not blind, and if they go out in such an open and open way, the Japanese soldiers will definitely find out as soon as possible that there is no warehouse as a position, and the remaining people will be eaten by the Japanese in less than half an hour, including Yu Zhiqian.
Yu Zhiqian's method is similar to that when he went to assassinate Matsui Ishine before, that is, to change his clothes, and now the Japanese garrison in Shanghai is still going out to find the person who assassinated Matsui Ishine, and the span is very large, Yu Zhiqian prepared a complete set of Japanese military uniforms for each person, and after crossing the river, he immediately changed his clothes.
In addition, it is night, and the fish are mixed out of Shanghai, which is very feasible.
Before Yu Zhiqian's plan could be spoken, a soldier who used the Japanese 38 big cover as a cane slowly raised his hand: "Sir! ”
"What's wrong?"
The wounded soldier pointed to himself: "Sir, I can't go away like this!" ”
Yu Zhiqian looked at him, he broke a leg and injured a hand, and it was very difficult to walk, and there was basically no possibility of swimming.
Yu Zhiqian stared at him and laughed: "Don't worry, I won't give up any of my brothers, I will take you home!" ”
A long time ago, when Yu Zhiqian watched my regiment leader and my regiment, he only thought that this was a very good TV series, but now Yu Zhiqian thought of which sentence of the dragon article in his mind, let's go, I'll take you home!
This sentence of going home is not only going home, it contains a lot of content, but also a promise, the promise of the dragon article in the TV series to those expeditionary forces, and now Yu Zhiqian's commitment to the heroes who are guarding the Four Elements Warehouse.
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, the soldier slowly shook his head: "Sir, that's not what I said, what I mean is, if you take me, everyone will definitely not be able to go fast, you don't have to take me with you, I stay, and I will work hard with Little Japan, and I will earn money by changing one!" ”
After Yu Zhiqian heard this, he shook his head: "No, you are all heroes, don't worry, I have a way to take you back, believe me, I can do it!" ”
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, the wounded soldier slowly put down his raised hand, but at this time, another wounded soldier raised his hand: "Sir, don't take us away, we can't go, taking us with you will only affect the brothers!" ”
After finishing speaking, the soldier raised his arms, all of them bandaged their wounds, and their hands were gone: "Sir, I know you want to disguise yourself as a Japanese searching Japanese to go out of the city overnight!" ”
"But I'm from Shanghai, cross the river, and then run out of Shanghai, there are still twenty or thirty kilometers, sir, we can't go fast, taking us will only drag down the brothers, then we are sinners, I don't want to be sinners, I just want to replace another Japanese devil!"
"That's right! Sir, we know that we can't go, and it's a burden to take us with us, let's stay, we're going to fight devils, we'll cover for you! ”
"Sir, don't hesitate, hesitate, all the brothers can't go, you go, we'll cover you and leave some seeds for the 524th regiment!"
"Yes, we are dead, brothers kill devils for us!"
“……”
At this time, the commander of the third battalion also stood up, he was covered in wounds, he was shot in the chest, he was stabbed in the leg with a bayonet, and he was injured in the arm.
But even so, the third battalion commander still fought bloodily on the front line, until he drove the devil out, and then sat down slowly, if it wasn't for Yu Zhiqian to find out that he was injured, this tough guy might not snort until his own blood was drained.
The commander of the third battalion stood up with the support of the soldiers beside him, coughed lightly twice, looked at Yu Zhiqian, and then at dozens of wounded soldiers, and suddenly showed a smile on his face.
