Chapter 192: A Belated Sacrifice
Walking on the streets in ruins, looking at the collapsed houses and buildings, Hu Biao, who returned to the battlefield, still knew that special ammunition had been buried in that location, and that location was relatively safer.
Considering that in the battlefield that was reduced to ruins, there was still a possibility that the guard sentries arranged by the Japanese army were lurking, and Hu Biao and his party were also very careful when sneaking in. Even if there was a chance to hunt those sentinels, Hu Biao would signal to bypass them and not do anything.
In the absence of any indication of how long the Japanese guard posts will be replaced, quietly killing these sentries may also alarm the little devils stationed nearby. When the time comes, whether you sneak in or retreat, it will become very troublesome.
Fortunately, judging from the number of little devil alert sentries found, the Japanese army did not attach as much importance to this area as they imagined. The significance of the deployment of the guard post is more about the fear that someone will break into this dangerous place that has been reduced to the ruins of the battlefield.
really infiltrated the location of the presidential palace, but there was no guard post of the little devil around. In view of this situation, Hu Biao quickly ordered his soldiers to set up a cordon in the ruins near the presidential palace.
As soon as a Japanese patrol or sentry was discovered, they immediately warned Hu Biao and others who were preparing to infiltrate the presidential palace. After the guard post was arranged, Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou and others all wore gas masks.
When setting up the explosion trap earlier, Hu Biao took a few special shells fired by heavy artillery from his personal space. This special bomb is sufficient, and the scope of contamination caused by detonation is also larger, and there should still be a residual smell in just a few days.
Looking at the presidential palace, which originally had many pavilions, but now there is no intact house at all, Hu Biao also feels quite a pity. But when he thought that if the presidential palace was not destroyed like this, it would be possible for the little devil to live in, and he felt that it was a pity.
Buildings that have been blown up will eventually be rebuilt. Rebuilding on the ruins also means a new life. Although it is said that the people and money are lost, when he thinks of such a sacred place that has been occupied by the Japanese army for many years, Hu Biao will also feel unhappy.
Qin Tianyou, who was following Hu Biao, looked at the completely changed presidential palace, and said with a little worry: "Captain, look at it like this, the explosives we buried earlier have turned the presidential palace upside down, and the brothers are afraid that they are all buried in it!" ”
"It's okay! If we can find them, let's restrain them. If they can't find it, let them stay in the presidential palace and guard this position for us. In a short period of time, the little devil should not touch this land, and the brothers can rest in peace! ”
Walking through the ruins wearing gas masks, Hu Biao's vision became more blurred. Fortunately, the moonlight was relatively bright tonight, so that Hu Biao and others, who were walking in the ruins, finally found the remains of some fallen soldiers.
Seeing these mostly mutilated and incomplete bodies, Hu Biao and the others did not feel disgusted at all, and found the body bags prepared earlier and put all these corpses into the bags. When the search is over, the bodies will be buried in the woodland where the previous people were buried.
When he walked to the lobby of the collapsed presidential palace and stood on the steps piled with bricks and stones, Hu Biao said: "Old Qin, give me the things you have prepared, let's be here, pay tribute to those brothers who died in battle, and send them on their last journey!" ”
I couldn't find paper money and sandalwood temporarily, but there were still candles, and if there was no sandalwood, I used cigarettes instead, plus a few bottles of liquor I found, which were used to pay tribute to the officers and soldiers who died in the presidential palace.
After lighting the candles, Hu Biao, who tore open a pack of cigarettes, lit three of them, held them in his hand, and whispered to the ruins in front of him: "Brothers, I'm back to see you!" I can't fight with you to the end, I'm ashamed! ”
Listening to Hu Biao's words, the other soldiers who stayed next to him also lit three cigarettes like Hu Biao and bowed to the surroundings. Knowing that time was pressing, when everyone lit cigarettes, they also confided their hearts to their dead comrades.
Qin Tianyou, who was carrying a bottle of wine, unscrewed the cap and said, "Brothers, I came to see you with the battalion commander." When they go underground, the brothers should also unite and fight devils with Lao Liu's guy. This is our territory, don't let the little devils be too arrogant.
The battalion commander and I are about to leave Jinling, and we may come back that day in the future. These wines were specially prepared for you by the battalion commander. Although we didn't keep the presidential palace, this wine is also a celebration wine, brothers must drink it happily! ”
Thinking that a few days ago, Liu Quan gave himself the opportunity to live, and Qin Tianyou also knew very well that he would never forget this love. even secretly decided in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would personally visit Liu Quan's family and take care of his family on behalf of Liu Quan.
When the cigarettes burned out and all the liquor was poured into the ruins, Qin Tianyou also said in a timely manner: "Captain, it's not too early!" ”
"Okay, go to the forest next to you and bury the remains of these brothers!"
Having paid tribute to these officers and soldiers who died in the presidential palace, Hu Biao also had a matter on his mind. Although he still feels sorry, Hu Biao knows better what he will do in the future, and he can't let down these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Only by letting them see the day of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, more people will know about their heroic achievements in the Presidential Palace, and future generations will always remember their exploits. By that time, these warriors should have truly died without regrets.
When he came to the woods next to the presidential palace and looked at the graves of the soldiers who had been buried earlier, Hu Biao also felt a little regretful. Although Hu Biao wanted to erect a monument with them, the current situation did not allow them to do so at all.
Next to these grave bags, Hu Biao and others began to dig pits and bury the bodies of the fallen soldiers in the bags with a rifle. If the name can be recognized, Hu Biao also handed over Qin Tianyou's record so that he could erect a monument for him in the future.
As for those who can't identify their identities and names, they can only be engraved with the inscription of the unknown martyr in the future. During the war years, there would be many tombs of unknown martyrs like this, and it was impossible to really leave no one behind.
After burying these collected remains, Hu Biao saluted again: "Brothers, take care!" I'll come back to see you later. Believe that victory will come one day! ”
The other team members who followed Hu Biao also saluted silently. Joining the guards arranged earlier, Hu Biao and his entourage finally set foot on the road to leave Jinling. On the way out of the presidential palace, Hu Biao still chose to avoid the Japanese army's guard post.
Now that he has decided to leave, Hu Biao doesn't want to make too much trouble. Once the raid is exposed, then their way out of the city will also become extremely dangerous. At this time, Hu Biao, as a commander, should also consider the safety of his subordinates.
Through this trip to Jinling, Hu Biao finally realized that sometimes he was too impulsive. Although some sacrifices are unavoidable, Hu Biao always feels guilty in the face of those officers and soldiers who died in the presidential palace.
If he hadn't come to Jinling, and if he hadn't insisted on sticking to the presidential palace, perhaps these officers and soldiers might not have died. Although his appearance saved many lives, it also changed many fates.
Returning to the earlier meeting place, Hu Biao, who ordered the troops to go on the road, took a deep look in the direction where the presidential palace was located, and finally set foot on the road to leave Jinling without hesitation. As for when he will return to Jinling, Hu Biao does not dare to guarantee.
The only guarantee is that when the situation in Jinling stabilizes, he will return to Jinling. Perhaps at that time, he will make endless waves in Jinling City, and make the invaders and traitors who occupy the city feel fear.
The next day, the troops who routinely patrolled the presidential palace found traces of burning candles on the ruins, as well as the smell of liquor left in the ruins next to them, which immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese troops who were in charge of the surrounding vigilance.
"Yaga! Yesterday it was that unit that was in charge of patrolling and guarding, why did anyone break into the ruins of the presidential palace and not find out. Damn, who the hell are those guys? What are their intentions in entering the presidential palace? ”
When these situations were reported to the Japanese army headquarters, Matsui Shigen, who was always worried that Hu Biao should not be dead, immediately ordered: "Let the special high school closely collect information about Hu Biao, and we must inquire whether this guy is dead or alive."
If possible, let our undercover staff take a picture of him if possible. If you have the chance, let the special high class try to kill it by all means. I have a gut feeling that the person who broke into the presidential palace last night should be this Hu Biao! ”
Thinking of the people who sneaked into the ruins of the presidential palace and paid tribute with cigarettes, liquor, and candles, Matsui felt that those who dared to do such things must be daring. Most importantly, its penetration is very powerful.
Based on what Hu Biao did when he entered Jinling, Matsui felt that this adventurous style was very much in line with Hu Biao's combat style. The 18th Division suffered such heavy casualties, more because of Hu Biao's frequent tricks.
Who would have thought that Hu Biao would have such a great ability to receive all the weapons and ammunition abandoned by the defending troops before the Japanese army entered the city. At the first time, a large number of rout troops hiding in the city were forcibly recruited.
Some even drove away the people near the presidential palace in advance and planted a large amount of explosives in the streets and houses where the people lived. This kind of combat method, which the Japanese army had never encountered, led to frequent losses and losses of the 18th Division.
Chen Gongshu, who has been transferred to **, received the latest information from the intelligence officer, and learned that the Japanese army had sent additional alert troops on the side of the ruins of the presidential palace, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devils should find Hu Biao and they have gone back!" ”
As for the instructions given by Matsui Shigen to the special high school, Chen Gongshu naturally didn't know about it. But in fact, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the lonely army camp who were imprisoned in Shanghai, and the snow shame camp in Anhua Mountain, not many people knew Hu Biao.
In addition, even if the special high school investigates Hu Biao's identity information, I am afraid that the threat to Hu Biao is not great. As for wanting the hidden spy to take a photo of Hu Biao, it is even more unlikely.
From the day he entered behind enemy lines, Hu Biao was wary of Japanese spies who might be lurking around him. Whether it is the Dead Soldier Camp or the Snow Shame Camp, if you want to become his subordinate, you must first register and have a real and credible identity.
Even if there is an opportunity to blend into Hu Biao's unit, it is not easy to find an opportunity to get close to Hu Biao. Many times, Hu Biao rarely stays in the army, and more often he is active on the frontline battlefield!
