Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of Jiujiang (1)
In late July 1938, Li Yunheng, commander of the 16 th Army stationed at the Jiangfang Fortress, did not know which tendon had gone wrong, and the great enemy had even set up a two-week "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University." At the end of the course, a grand graduation ceremony was held, and officers at all levels of the 16 th Army and local gentry were invited to attend.
The Japanese troops who had received the information would not be polite, and the Botian detachment, which had been deliberately preparing for a long time, immediately launched a fierce attack on the Jiangfang fortress, and because the main commanders at all levels of the 16th Army attended Li Yunheng's graduation ceremony, the troops of the Jiangfang fortress were left without command and soon fell. As soon as the Jiangfang fortress was lost, soon Peng Zeshi, Hukou, Qianshan and other places also fell one after another, Jiujiang was immediately exposed to the Japanese army, and the Botian detachment immediately waved its troops south towards Jiujiang, and Zhang Fakui, the commander of the Jiangnan area, ordered to abandon Jiujiang, and for a time the entire Jiujiang was in chaos, and the road to the south was full of retreating troops and refugees.
At this time, Su Jin and the militia were also in the team that withdrew to the south. On the road of retreat, children cried and adults scolded, and from time to time Japanese planes bombed along the way, and many units were scattered, but only the militia groups that had been prepared for a long time were able to maintain a strict formation, which naturally attracted the attention of many onlookers on the road.
And the most eye-catching thing about the militia along the way is the doctors and nurses of the medical brigade of the militia who are protected in the middle, due to the suddenness of the incident, many doctors and nurses of Jiujiang Hospital are also among the people who are urgently evacuated, but because there is no preparation in advance, the doctors and nurses of Jiujiang Hospital have not been able to sit in the organized retreat, and they are separated on the way to retreat, and the missing are missing, Su Jin saw this and took the opportunity to order the militia to cast a net along the way, and bring all the doctors and nurses who can be found on the road to the team of the militia. And a company was specially sent to protect them.
Although Su Jin was suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob by doing this, these doctors and nurses did not complain about this, but were full of gratitude, because they knew that if there was no strong force to protect them in such a chaotic army, they would be no different from those refugees scattered around the roadside, and they would starve to death on the road at any time, and they would even be taken away or even bullied by the rebels and robbers.
From Jiujiang to the south for two days, along the way Su Jin gathered a total of more than 160 nurses and more than 50 doctors, this harvest can make Su Jin happy, although these doctors and nurses do not seem to have the slightest combat effectiveness, but he understands very well that with these people, his troops can play a far more than usual combat effectiveness, they are the soldiers' life barrier, with them soldiers will be more brave to fight the enemy. And Su Jin can guarantee that if the battle starts, the morale of those soldiers will automatically increase a lot, and without him giving orders, those soldiers will automatically desperately protect these doctors and nurses, which can be seen from how popular those young nurses are in the hearts of the soldiers these days, even Huang Weiguo, Li Wei and others have intentionally or unintentionally run around the medical brigade.
In the middle of the militia group, a group of young nurses sat in a large cart and marched towards the south, although they were on the way to retreat, but these young nurses were in a good state of mind, and from time to time burst out from among them bursts of crisp laughter, provoking the fleeing people and routs on the side of the road to look at the past from time to time.
An open-minded soldier with a Hanyang-made arm on his back looked at the young female nurses in the cart passing by him, and stabbed his companion with his elbow, "Huh...... A few old brothers, seeing that there are no such chicks, they are really fucking smart, if they can get their hands on them, it will be cool. ”
As soon as his words fell, several soldiers around him who seemed to belong to the veteran oil type looked at him almost at the same time, although they did not speak, but the strong taste of disdain in their eyes was unobstructed, and this angry soldier ruffian couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Hey...... I said a few old brothers, what do you mean, don't pretend to be a hypocrisy, I don't want to do this if I don't believe you? ”
A veteran soldier carrying a Czech machine gun patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Pony, I really don't see that you kid is quite kind on weekdays, but those women are not people like you can move, you better wait until you go to bed at night and put the pillow higher, maybe you can taste what these women are like in your dreams." ”
Hearing this companion say this, the soldier's face was a little unbearable, and he pulled his neck and said: "What's the big deal, isn't it just a group of girls, could it be that they are inlaid with gold underneath." ”
"Hahaha......"
The soldiers around laughed, and a veteran ruffian leaned back with a smile, "Okay, let's wait, but I guess before you get them, those brothers next to you will reward you with a few peanuts." ”
Seeing that this benevolent brother's face was blue and red for a while, the veteran soldier who had a good relationship with him on weekdays said to the soldiers around him: "Okay, don't laugh at the horse cannon, he has only eaten this bowl of rice for a few years, and it is normal to not know the taboo of our army." ”
After speaking, he put one hand around his companion's shoulder, and pointed to the nurse next to him, and said, "Xiaoma, you remember Lao Tzu, you can move any woman in this world, but these girls don't think about touching their fingers." Don't look at those girls, they are all pink, pink, delicate, and watery, but they are not those pink heads in the Goolan courtyard. Be...... We soldiers are all doing the work of licking blood with a knife, and we may hang up one day, so we dare to do anything. But these girls are different, as soon as the battle starts, these little girls still carry stretchers and brave bullets to rush forward, why do they do this? In a word, they are our saviors, and today is enough, if you let Lao Tzu hear you say this kind of nonsense again, you don't need to do it with those brothers next to you, Lao Tzu will be the first to cut you! Do you understand? ”
The old soldier said with a fierce expression, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious, which startled the soldier, and his head nodded one after another like a chicken pecking rice.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
At this moment, there was a faint roar in the sky, and the face of the veteran soldier who was educating the ruffian immediately changed, and a hoarse and poignant voice immediately sounded: "It's not good, it's the little devil's plane...... Hurry up and hide! ”
As this voice fell, the reprimands of the officers immediately sounded around, and then the whole road began to be chaotic, and all the people on the road scattered around, many people lay on the side of the road to hide, and many people drilled into the bushes, and the whole road was in chaos for a while......
