Chapter 161: Unstoppable!
Compared to being the attacking side, the little devils only know that their wing captain is on the front line to direct the battle, but they don't know where they are. But these little devils definitely didn't expect that the dead soldier battalion in charge of defense would dare to fight their counterattack.
Even the position of the counterattack is exactly where their co-captain is. Realizing that the position of the wing captain was exposed, the little devils who were responsible for the attack around him would naturally frantically reinforce them. If the wing captain is broken, Inoue Wing will be wiped out.
The Japanese army, which attaches great importance to the military flag and collective honor, will naturally take a desperate posture in order to protect the wing they are in. But in the face of those sharp machine guns, how can the flesh body resist it?
Seeing that the commando team led by Hu Biao successfully raided the hiding place where the wing captain was, it didn't take long for them to quickly retreat with a 'corpse' that should be their wing leader. This situation naturally made the surviving little devils red-eyed.
On the other hand, Xu Sandao and the others, who were in charge of blocking and covering, saw the little devils scattered to other positions on the battlefield, and they all frantically flocked to Hu Biao's location. In order to ensure the safety of Hu Biao and his entourage, every soldier fought very bravely and tenaciously.
As for the eight machine guns upstairs, they adjusted their muzzles one after another, leaving Hu Biao out of the retreat area, and the water in the defense was impassable. Countless little devils who rushed out of the ruins and tried to intercept them were interrupted by machine guns and turned into a mutilated corpse.
The sniper team responsible for covering even forgot Hu Biao's earlier explanation that if you shoot three shots, you must change positions, and without exception, they showed a 100% level to snipe those little devils who might threaten Hu Biao and his party.
Xu Sandao, who temporarily dispatched light machine guns to strengthen the blocking firepower, even completed the forward positions that the machine guns could not take into account. When Hu Biao and his entourage were safely picked up, looking at the bleeding head, all the soldiers were full of excitement.
Only Hu Biao turned around and said: "Set up grenadiers, and take advantage of the little devils to gather together again to carry out saturated shelling!" ”
"Yes, Captain!"
quickly organized a group of soldiers who knew how to operate grenadiers, and Xu Sandao also personally operated a grenadier to shoot grenades at those little devils who became more and more crazy. Looking at the little devil shrouded in the explosion, everyone was extremely happy.
If it weren't for Hu Biao's assault, maybe these little devils who scattered the attack would have gathered together so quickly. It's rare to have such an opportunity, how could Hu Biao miss the opportunity to hit these little devils again?
Seeing that many little devils with white cloth belts tied to their heads ignored the blocking fire of the dead battalion and still launched a foolish attack, Hu Biao also said directly: "Since you want to die, then I will also fulfill your wishes!" ”
It is clear that these little devils with white cloth belts may not want to be losers, and would rather die at the guns of the enemy than survive. For the bravery of these little devils, Hu Biao admired them, but still met their wishes mercilessly.
Until the surviving little devil finally stopped continuing to launch a suicidal charge, and even fled desperately in embarrassment, Hu Biao quickly said: "Three knives, you watch here, I will take this prisoner back to the presidential palace!" ”
"Okay! There you go! Leave it to me! This guy, or is he alive? ”
"Alive! I knocked the butt of a gun, and I should have just fainted. With such loot, it is necessary to take it back so that the brothers in the rear can see the horizon. You stay, watch out for the little devil shelling! ”
"Understood! If the little devils start shelling, I will inform the troops to withdraw into the anti-artillery potholes! ”
"Remember! It doesn't matter if you can't keep it, just make sure your brothers are safe. Not long after dark, four machine guns remained, and the remaining four were withdrawn to the presidential palace. When the time comes, it should be used. ”
"Good! I'll arrange it later! ”
After explaining some things, Hu Biao led the commando team to carry the captured Japanese army Dazuo on his back and headed towards the presidential palace that was still under their control. When Chen Gongshu and others rushed to watch when they learned the news, their eyes were full of incredulity when they looked at Hu Biao.
"Battalion commander, this little devil's Dazuo was really captured alive from the battlefield?"
"Yes! There is no truth in this matter! I don't know what this devil's position is, but at least he should be a senior officer at the rank of wing commander. Wake him up and see if he can get some information. ”
"Good! Can you leave this to me? I haven't tried it yet, what about interrogating the little devil Dazuo? ”
"Okay! How to interrogate, you just have to make up your mind. However, the officers of the Dazuo rank have a relatively hard mouth. We're already stuck in a lonely city, so there's no need to worry about anything. It doesn't matter how you come as happy as you come, even if you're dead. ”
"Hey, hey! Don't worry, in the hands of our military commanders, it's not so easy to die. If his bones were really hard, I could have opened his mouth. Can I send a telegram to the bureau on this news? ”
"Absolutely! This credit can be credited to the place where you stayed! If you have a chance, next time you will send a general to have a good time! ”
"Brother Hu, this is what you said, I can remember it!"
"It's just a premise, I have to be able to leave alive!"
After laughing, Hu Biao really kept his promise and handed over Inoue Keitaro, who was captured from the battlefield, to Chen Gongshu for interrogation. And Ushijima Sadao, who was staying outside the city at the moment, looked at the remnants who had withdrawn in embarrassment, and his expression was gloomy and terrifying.
Staring at the apprehensive lieutenant, he said, "Remember, your wing commander was killed in battle, not captured, understand?" ”
"Hey! Wing Captain Jade Shattered, Humble Duty Remember! ”
Listening to the lieutenant's words, Ushijima Sadao said very directly: "Chief of Staff, all the troops withdrawn by the Inoue Wing will be transferred to the Logistics Wing." Later, when it is necessary to organize death squads, let them be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”
"Hey!"
For these remnants of the Inoue Wing who withdrew from the battle, Ushijima Sadao was also very dissatisfied and looked down upon. In Ushijima's Sadao opinion, since their co-captain was captured, then they should not be alive either, but should be broken together with the co-captain.
The surviving lieutenant, who also heard this order, wanted to beg for mercy or excuse himself, but finally kept his mouth shut. As an officer, the lieutenant knew from the time he retreated that those of them who survived would also end badly.
On the other hand, those who died in the war may have a chance to repatriate their ashes and be assessed as the dead. As for them, once they join the death squad of the division, there is still very little chance of survival.
In a sense, they were all losers of the division, and even brought shame to the division. If you don't want to accept military justice, you can only join the death squad to make meritorious service and wash away the shame you have received at the moment with blood.
The people of Jinling, who had been paying attention to the movements in the city, heard that the gunfire on the side of the presidential palace had subsided again, and these people would also be worried: "The gunfire has stopped again!" I don't know if those defenders have blocked the attack of the little devils! ”
"Unstoppable! Now that the little devils have entered the city in a big way, those troops will be wiped out by the little devils sooner or later! ”
"Alas! I don't know when such a troubled world will end! When the little devil enters the city, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse! ”
In fact, the little devils who have entered the city at this moment are searching door to door. In addition to looting people's property, they are also creating killings. And on the side of the international security zone, there is also a force of little devils.
Looking at these Japanese soldiers who appeared in front of the gate of the security zone, several foreigners in charge of the security zone also stood directly in front and warned those Japanese soldiers that they were in a safe zone and were forbidden to enter.
In response to the warnings of these foreigners, the little devil officer who led the team also said seriously: "We suspect that you are in the safe zone and hiding a large number of prisoners of war in China. To avoid conflicts, we need to go in and search! ”
"Absolutely impossible! How many innocent civilians have been killed or injured in your acts of war. If you dare to storm the safe zone, then arrest us together, as long as you are not afraid to provoke international strife! ”
These foreigners staying in the security zone had already relayed to the liaison officer of the military command through the radio that they knew about the massacre of civilians by the Japanese army in Jinling. Upon learning of these news, they also informed the radio stations to contact their respective embassies and consulates.
Upon learning of their situation in Jinling, the embassies and consulates of various countries also asked these foreigners to ensure their own safety. At the same time, in the name of the embassy, a corresponding note was sent to the headquarters of the Japanese dispatch force and to the Japanese mainland.
The message was simply to ensure that the international security zone was not attacked. If the Japanese army dares to forcibly storm the international security zone, resulting in the death of their nationals in the conflict, these countries do not rule out political or military intervention.
Most of the foreigners who set up their embassies and consulates in the Shanghai Concession knew very well how much indignation the Chinese people had aroused after the Dead Soldiers' Camp was clearly electrified. Whether out of humanitarian aid or courtesy, these foreign consuls felt compelled to take a stand.
That is, they did not want to interfere in this war, but they had to restrain the Japanese army's war behavior. Since Jinling has established an international security zone, the Japanese army must abide by the rules of the security zone and cannot kill innocent civilians in the security zone at will.
In the face of such a tough attitude of the foreigners who manage the security zone, the officer leading the team also felt a little tricky, and finally had to report the situation. Rabe, who was the head of the security zone, also submitted a protest to the Japanese command.
When the Japanese generals accused the rout of the defending troops of hiding in the safe zone, Rabe said directly: "Do you have any evidence? If I let you go into the city and search and you don't find the prisoners of war, will you be willing to bear the charge of storming the safety zone?
In fact, just before you entered the city, General Hu, who was still holding on to Jinling, sent people to the safe area and drove out all the routs disguised as civilians. He did this because he knew you would make such an excuse! ”
"So, sir, have you seen that General Hu?"
"Nope! As a neutral party, we do not want to get involved in the war between your two countries. The security zone was set up only for humanitarian relief. But we condemn your massacre of civilians! You shouldn't do that! ”
Through the news revealed by Rabe, the Japanese army finally realized that Hu, who was clearly electrified, had made a lot of preparations before they entered the city. If we wantonly massacre civilians again, I am afraid that it will arouse even stronger condemnation and indignation from the international community.
