Chapter 57: The Lonely Pingyi City (II)
When the moon is dark and killing, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire!
The night was like ink, the wind was as cool as water, and Yoshioka's squadron quietly lay in ambush outside the west gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, they launched a surprise attack. However, the death squads that infiltrated the city have not been heard from.
Captain Yoshioka was waiting anxiously, but at this moment, he heard a dense gunfire from the north of the city, and he was suddenly shocked, and secretly exclaimed, the imperial army can attack the city of the people of China at night, how can the people of China not attack the camp of the imperial army at night?
"Quick," Captain Yoshioka took the lead, "the whole team will evacuate immediately, and the headquarters of the rescue brigade will be rescued quickly!" ”
The gunfire in the north of the city became tighter and tighter, and Captain Yoshioka led the team to run wildly and quickly followed the sound of gunfire to the north of the city.
The team marched quickly, and soon reached the north of the city, and Captain Yoshioka could already see the faint light of the fire in the camp of the brigade headquarters, but the gunfire in the camp had become sporadic and the shouts of killing had become weak...... Is the battle coming to an end? Captain Yoshioka was anxious, "Hurry, hurry, hurry up......"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of gunfire in his ears...... There is an ambush! Captain Yoshioka was shocked, and hurriedly got down, dodging the flying bullets, "Counterattack, counterattack......"
However, in the darkness, the ambush was everywhere, and the fire was fierce, and Yoshioka's squadron was already caught off guard, with heavy casualties...... Captain Yoshioka was yelling, but he was also knocked to the ground by a stray bullet, and the blood instantly stained his shirt......
At this time, Liao Heiniu's voice echoed in the night sky, "Turtle's, don't let any of them run away for Lao Tzu......"
At this time, in the camp of the Mizuno brigade, a night attack had ended perfectly.
Sun Dalilong came in a tiger and saluted on the ground, "Commander, all the little devils here have been killed...... There were two hundred and fifteen in all, with fifteen minor injuries and three serious injuries among the brothers. "This is a man from the mountains of western Sichuan, with a ruthless spirit in his bones.
"Okay," Li Siwei nodded, "Put away all the things that can be used, and pick up the shoes, hats and coats that you can wear...... The corpses were disposed of. ”
Sun Dali took the order and left.
The lights were dim, Li Siwei looked to the west, where the sound of gunfire and shouting gradually became weaker, and Liao Heiniu's voice floated from afar, "All of them are killed by Lao Tzu, and the three regiments will not accept prisoners......"
Morita Squadron was originally ambushed outside the east gate, and they were farther away from the camp of the brigade headquarters, and they found that the brigade headquarters was attacked at night even later, but Captain Morita and Captain Yoshioka reacted the same, and they rushed back with the team to help...... Similarly, to the east of the camp of the Mizuno Brigade headquarters, they were also ambushed, and it was Shi Meng's men and horses.
The south gate was the focus of the night attack plan, and the ambush outside the south gate was the first squadron of Tang Ze and the squadron of Kuroki, with a number of about three hundred.
When the gunfire rang out in the north of the city, Captain Kuroki also decisively chose to return to help...... Encirclement and reinforcement, the headquarters camp of the Mizuno Brigade is the "point" that must be saved.
Captain Kuroki had just given the order to retreat, but he heard gunfire at the south gate, and the city gate was opened with a creak...... The fire was dim at the city gate, and a group of imperial troops fought and retreated to the gate.
Captain Kuroki was stunned, the city gate had been opened, and the opportunity was rare, but there was a fierce battle in the north of the city......
"Attacking ......" Captain Kuroki was still hesitating, and Lieutenant Hirosue had already rushed to the city gate with Tang Ze's squadron.
"Captain," Lieutenant Terashima looked anxiously at Captain Kuroki, "give the order!" "The fighter plane is fleeting, and there is no room for the commander to hesitate.
Captain Kuroki gritted his teeth, pulled out his saber with a "choking" sound, and pointed directly at Pingyi City, "Attack!" ”
As soon as Lieutenant Terashima received the order, he rushed to the city gate with his team, and everyone was full of excitement.
"Bang ......"
"Da Da Da ......"
The inner gate of the city was a rain of bullets, and Lieutenant Guang Mo led Tang Ze's squadron to move forward bravely, and soon rushed in and fought with the defenders!
As Kuroki's squadron joined one after another, the defenders gradually became overwhelmed and slowly retreated towards the city...... The little devil was in high spirits at first sight, and he desperately chased and killed.
Suddenly, a terrible roar resounded through the streets, "There is an ambush...... Retreat quickly, there is an ambush ......"
Captain Kuroki, who had just rushed into the city gate, was shocked, and he could hear that it was Lieutenant Terashima's voice.
"Kill......"
The shouts of killing outside the city gate shook the sky, and Jin Daya rushed in from the city gate with a team.
Before Captain Kuroki could turn around, he was hit in the back by a stray bullet, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, and he roared with all his strength, "Long live the Emperor......
"Poof......
An icy bayonet pierced him in the back.
It turned out that Lieutenant Terashima led the team to chase all the way, and as soon as he turned the corner, he was hit by a rain of bullets...... Lieutenant Terashima screamed and retreated, but his subordinates were not so lucky.
A machine gun roared behind the barricades, blocking the way, and the guns on both sides of the houses were loud, and the little devils who rushed into the street could not avoid it, and the dead and wounded were all killed, and the survivors fled, but the gunshots and shouts of killing behind them were deafening......
Division Commander Guan was standing at the head of the city at this time, quietly watching the battle below, for a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Staff Officer He beside him: "The overall situation has been decided, and Pingyi City has been preserved for the time being." ”
Staff Officer He nodded, "Pingyi City...... Temporarily saved...... I hope Fei County and Linyi can hold it. ”
Master Guan looked at the night sky and muttered, "I hope so......"
In the alley, Jin Daya shouted excitedly, "Brothers, all show your eyes to Lao Tzu, and a little devil can't let go of ......"
"Don't worry, Commander," everyone agreed, "even if the little devil hides in the dung pit, the old men will pull him out and ......"
The battle in the south gate was nearing its end, and the defenders began to chase after the fish that had slipped through the net, and for a time the chickens and dogs jumped after them.
Corporal Tsuruta scurried desperately in the dark and dead alley, he couldn't remember how long he had been running, but he felt like his legs were filled with lead...... Since he came to the Chinese battlefield, he has never fought such a battle, he didn't even know what happened, the robes around him fell, the enemy's bullets were flying all around, and the enemy's shouts of killing were ringing in his ears...... This battle made his heart cold, and he just wanted to escape, escape from this damn ghost place.
Finally, he was tired of running away, and sat down at the mouth of the alley, losing his weapon and hat...... He couldn't care about that anymore, just gasping desperately.
"Da Da Da ......"
Footsteps sounded behind him again, and a voice got closer and closer, "Turtle...... Turtle son's, run...... Running faster than a dog......"
The other voice was also out of breath, "Run...... Can't run away from him......"
Corporal Tsuruta was shocked, where did he dare to delay, gritted his teeth and got up, staggered two steps, and saw a small courtyard with a gate ajar, he hurriedly got into it, and gently closed the door.
The courtyard was small, and Corporal Tsuruta felt into a room, groped his way and hid under the bed, curled up on the ground with his back against the corner, panting, the room was quiet, and it was dark all around, and he could only hear his own breathing......
The breathing gradually subsided, but the fear still lingered, and Corporal Tsuruta's heart was a mess, "I want to go back, I want to go back to beautiful Hokkaido...... I'm going to go back to see my mom and dad, I'm going to go back to see the beautiful Ryoko...... Why should I come to Pingyi? Why should I come to China? I should have been in the countryside of Hokkaido, cultivating those two acres of land and guarding the beautiful Yoshiko...... But why am I here, in this dark place...... Lonely Alone...... Enduring this feeling of despair? ”
Before he knew it, two lines of tears had quietly slipped down his cheeks...... At this moment, he was just a lonely and desperate young man.
"Bang,"
I don't know how long it took, but the door was slammed open.
Corporal Tsuruta was half-asleep and half-awake, but he was awakened by the sound of the door, and at this moment, he was like falling into an ice cave, and his body couldn't help but tremble......
The group broke in in a noisy, and a voice shouted, "Search Lao Tzu carefully...... The regiment commander said that not a single fish that slipped through the net must not be released, and they must not be allowed to harm the people in Pingyi City! ”
"What to do? What to do? Corporal Tsuruda's head slammed, his hands clenched, his body began to spasm, and his heart struggled on the verge of collapse, "What should I do?" What to do? ”
"Bang, squeak......"
The door was kicked open, and the sound of scrambled footsteps rang out in the room, and someone rushed in.
"Ah......h......h Woowoo woo ......"
"Here's one," a surprised voice rang out.
"Drag it out," the other voice laughed, "damn it, still crying ......" he said, crawling under the bed and dragging.
"Woo woo ......" Corporal Tsuruta curled up in the corner, hugging the foot of the bed, refusing to let go, "Don't, woo woo...... Don't kill me......"
"Damn," the big man didn't move twice, and suddenly became angry, "It's the first time I've seen such a cowardly little devil......"
The big man cursed, and smashed the butt of a gun on Corporal Tsuruda's back, smashing him into a muffled snort and a weak hand......
The overall situation in the north of the city was certain, and Li Siwei hurriedly led a team to reinforce the south gate...... There is no room for loss in this battle.
Obviously, his worries were unnecessary, and when he hurried to the south of the city, Jin Daya was already searching for fish with his brothers...... Li Siwei and his brothers also joined in, this matter is very important, the embankment of thousands of miles collapses in the anthill, and every fish that slips through the net may cause immeasurable consequences.
When Li Siwei led a team to pass by a small courtyard, he heard the noise in the courtyard, and then looked at the gate, which had been broken. As soon as he turned around, he walked in with the people, and saw several brothers stumbling in the courtyard......
"Stop," Li Siwei shouted angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
Everyone was startled, hurriedly turned around, and when they saw that it was Li Siwei, their faces turned pale...... Although they are not from the Third Regiment, in Yashan Village, it was Li Cannon who personally led people to rescue them, and they were both respectful and afraid of Li Tarpao.
A second lieutenant officer saluted with a "snap" and replied stubbornly: "Report to Regiment Commander Li, who was ordered to search for the little devil who slipped through the net......"
Li Siwei glanced at him, "It's hard work...... But keep in mind that we are a national army, not bandits. ”
"Yes," the officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted again.
"Platoon commander," At this moment, two big men rushed out of a room, their faces full of surprise, and the big man in front of him was dragging Corporal Tsuruta in his hands, "caught a ......"
"Woo...... Don't, don't," Corporal Tsuruta struggled weakly in his hands, "Don't kill me......"
As soon as the big man lowered his head, he was about to clean up Corporal Tsuruta, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Siwei, and he was suddenly shocked, and saluted with a "snap", "Report to Regiment Commander Li, I caught a little devil......"
"Okay," Li Siwei smiled at him, "Good job......
"Don't kill me, please don't kill me...... Corporal Tsuruta grabbed a life-saving straw and looked at Li Siwei with a pleading face, "Woo...... Please, don't kill me, I'm only nineteen years old...... I still want to go back to Hokkaido, I still want to see my parents, my good son is still waiting for me to go back...... Whining...... Please......"
Corporal Tsuruta wailed so loudly that no one could understand him, but everyone understood what he meant.
Li Siwei was stunned, and carefully looked at the little devil in front of him, he was thin and young, his thin body was trembling, his pale face was full of sadness, tears, and his eyes were full of pleading...... At this moment, his heart suddenly softened.
Everyone was silent and looked away, they were soldiers...... In the face of a fierce enemy, they could not hesitate to go up and fight their best, but in the face of such a plea, they were silent.
Li Siwei suddenly turned around, strode towards the outside of the courtyard, and waved his big hand, "Kill!" ”
Corporal Tsuruta's loneliness and despair certainly made him pity, but he understood the nature of the Japanese - they were a group of children who were forever fourteen years old! They can be polite on weekdays, they can also become pitiful in an instant, and they can become cruel in an instant...... If he relented, then Pingyi City would soon become as lonely and desperate as him!
The sky was bright, the search was over, Li Siwei's night raid was successfully concluded, the Mizuno Brigade was annihilated, Pingyi City was temporarily safe, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was greatly boosted...... However, Li Siwei knew well, Division Commander Guan knew well, and the officers and men of the 66th Division also knew that the victory was only temporary and short-lived, and that Pingyi City would suffer even more fierce retaliation in the future.
