Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wounded Soldier

The Japanese soldiers were already in a state of frenzy, and many of them roared forward, ignoring the roaring heavy machine guns in front of them.

The soldiers of the third battalion were also red-eyed, and a single bullet was their anger of revenge, directly piercing the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.

In some areas, white-knuckle battles even began. The Chinese and Japanese soldiers were entangled and fighting.

This kind of white-knuckle combat is often very bloody, and its brutality exceeds that of hot weapons.

Although the soldiers of the Japanese army are not very tall, their physical strength is often very strong, and they have received training in stabbing all year round, and they have rich experience.

The soldiers of the third battalion, but there are still quite a few soldiers, all of whom are recruits who have just joined the army for less than a month. Although they have received basic firearms training, they have also grown a lot in continuous combat. However, this kind of spur can not be practiced in a month or two, but requires years of training.

In terms of white-knuckle warfare, the soldiers of the third battalion often do not have an advantage, and only some veterans are very fierce, chasing the little devil's ass with the big knife in their hands. However, many recruits were often directly pierced by the Japanese soldiers after less than three fights with the Japanese soldiers.

On the defense line hundreds of meters wide on Ping'an Street, this kind of confrontation between the two sides lasted for more than two hours. Until the third pole of the sun, the scorching sun shone on the battlefield full of corpses and blood. The Japanese had to temporarily retreat to the rear.

When they retreated to the rear, some soldiers accidentally stepped on some remaining mines, resulting in many casualties among Japanese soldiers.

After this battle, with mines and incendiary bombs, as well as the bloody battles of the soldiers, they successfully repelled the attack of two Japanese tank squadrons, plus an infantry brigade.

The two tank squadrons of the Japanese army, as the leading force, suffered the heaviest losses, and the casualty rate of their soldiers exceeded 70 percent, which was basically completely disabled, and it was difficult to restore combat effectiveness in a short period of time even if the soldiers were replenished.

As for the Japanese brigade that rushed later, it also suffered heavy losses. At the cost of hundreds of soldiers' lives.

However, with such huge losses, the Japanese army did not loot a single building on Ping'an Street. They didn't even dare to occupy the block in front of Ping'an Street, because they didn't know where the mines would be planted in that block.

Looking at the retreating Japanese soldiers, Matsui Ishone didn't even have the strength to be angry.

At this point, he decided that he needed to take a fresh look at the enemy on the other side. Maybe that group of people is not as vulnerable as they imagined, but they have the ability to fight their elites head-on, and even win.

The Japanese suffered nearly 1,000 casualties this time, and in just one morning, it was such a huge casualty, which Matsui Ishone did not expect at all.

During the battle, which lasted several hours, almost all of the two Japanese tanks were destroyed, and only the tank on which Shiro Denpei was riding returned to the camp in the rear of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the last Japanese soldier was killed in the alley, Qin Chuan walked out of the house. At this time, the wall of the house where he was already covered with bullet holes. The Japanese machine-gun and rifle bullets turned those walls almost into a sieve.

"Wounded soldiers!! Transfer the wounded!! Qin Chuan shouted, and together with the soldiers next to him, he lifted the wounded soldiers on stretchers who had not been able to transfer to the rear because of the battle.

Although the Japanese attack was repulsed, the 3rd Battalion also lost more than 150 soldiers and more than 200 wounded. After a battle, the casualty rate exceeded 35 percent, which shows the severity of this battle.

The veterinarian accompanied several soldiers of the medical team to give emergency wound treatment to the wounded soldiers. Many of these soldiers were transferred to the field hospital in the rear after a simple bandage.

But there are also many soldiers who die on stretchers just after the bandaging is over, due to excessive blood loss or organ failure.

It was the last thing the veterinarian could see, because he always felt that he had killed the wounded soldier and had not snatched him back from the clutches of death. Even no one ever blames him.

Qin Chuan looked at several jeeps and transferred more than a dozen soldiers to the field hospital in the rear, and his heart was also very uncomfortable.

"Xiaomao, how far is the field hospital from our position?" Xiao Mao was in charge of liaison with the rear field hospital at this time, Qin Chuan asked him.

Xiao Mao wiped the blood on his face with a handkerchief, which was the blood left behind when carrying the wounded.

At least five kilometers, the field hospital was afraid of being destroyed by Japanese artillery, so it moved back. In fact, the closest hospital to us is a hospital in the public concession, just across the Suzhou Creek, but the hospital is a foreigner and we are not allowed to use it. Xiao Mao said.

Qin Chuan said: "Five kilometers, even if it is transported by car, it will take a lot of time." What's more, many of our wounded were transported by ox carts and people. In particular, the road may be shelled by the Japanese army, and many wounded died on the road. ”

Xiao Mao said: "No way, if it gets too close and is discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance plane, it will definitely be bombed." Moreover, the Japanese naval guns were also able to bombard, so they had to move backwards. ”

"Can you negotiate with that group of foreign devils and let our wounded go to their hospital for treatment, so that we can buy time for those wounded soldiers to do surgery to the greatest extent." Qin Chuan said.

Xiao Mao said helplessly: "I went to negotiate, and even our brigade commander went there in person." But those foreign devils said that this is a battle between China and Japan, and they will not participate in it as a neutral country.

Moreover, our soldiers were housed in their hospitals, and they feared that the Japanese would include their hospitals in the bombing targets, causing casualties among their own people. ”

Qin Chuan looked at the other side of the Suzhou Creek, where many people were standing upstairs, watching the scene here. There were foreigners inside, and many of them were Chinese who went to the public concession to escape the war.

The two areas are actually just separated by a Suzhou Creek, but the two sides of the river are completely two worlds. Heaven on one side and hell on the other.

"Both the British and the Americans are arrogant and stubborn, and I asked the Upper Peak to see if they could place the field hospital in the vault of the bank building we occupy.
