Another thing that is very helpless is that the military order does not say that after covering the retreat of the main force, it can retreat on its own, obviously using the three battalions as cannon fodder in exchange for the time for the retreat of the large army.

If you retreat on your own, you will be a deserter, and if you flee back, you will be punished as a deserter, which is also a dead end, so it is better to fight to the death here.

But there is one point, Lao Hu can't say clearly, if the third battalion escapes as a formation, it will definitely be regarded as a deserter, and he, the battalion commander, will definitely be shot.

However, if the troops are scattered and each breaks through, it cannot be considered a deserter; Because it is no longer able to organize combat strength to resist the enemy's offensive, even if it is a sporadic skirmisher resistance, it is a senseless sacrifice.

Therefore, they can break through the siege and find their own way to survive, not counting deserters; Or they could choose to surrender, but in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese and Japanese armies rarely surrendered on the battlefield.

Both sides of the battle are fighting with their breath in their breath, and they have not yet completely separated the winners and losers, and they are not convinced by each other, and the two sides are unwilling to accept surrender, and the Japanese soldiers follow the sacrificial spirit of bushido, and the Chinese army follows the sacrificial spirit of Whampoa, and they are all rushing to sacrifice.

Even if they don't surrender, they rarely accept the surrender of the other party, because the Chinese soldiers hate the country and the family, even if they catch a prisoner and have a reward, they would rather not be rewarded, and they never show mercy to the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers who have lost their ability to commit suicide on the battlefield, and directly kill them with swords and guns.

Those Japanese soldiers who had the ability to commit suicide would choose to commit suicide when they were cornered, and they had to destroy their guns and weapons before committing suicide, which was really tough and stubborn.

And the brutality of the Japanese army in dealing with prisoners is even more famous, as long as the Chinese soldiers are caught, whether they are injured or not, they are directly killed, in the face of this situation, surrender anyway is also killed, it is better to fight to the end, Lao Tzu is dead and standing to die.

It's useless to say so much, because in the end, the most critical thing is that Qingpu has been surrounded by the enemy, and breaking through during the day is equivalent to a dead end.

Being able to highlight one counts as one, and you can't tie all the brothers here and make senseless sacrifices, which doesn't have much effect on the entire battle situation.

……

At noon, the Japanese army did not stop, did not eat lunch, and also had to take Qingpu down, and continued to attack around the northeast corner of Qingpu, the third battalion is now three companies, and there is only one company left.

The more places to retreat, the fewer places to hold, the greater the density of land per capita, the greater the danger in the face of shells, and the devils rained down mortars and grenadiers into the last fortified positions of the three battalions.

The last position in the northeast corner of Qingpu is said to be a position, but in fact it is a dilapidated house, and there are only about 100 people left in the three companies, all of whom are exhausted and retreat here.

I didn't sleep for two days and one night, I couldn't eat all day, most of the people were injured, and the third battalion really reached the end of the mountain.

Seeing that night was approaching, the enemy army intensified the siege, to say that mortars and grenadiers fell into the sky, and several 92 heavy planes cooperated with non-stop fire, so that the third battalion could not raise its head at all.

These are all okay, as long as they are not killed, as long as there are still living people, the enemy will not be able to occupy the position, because in the end it is still necessary for the devil infantry to go and occupy it, and as soon as the devil infantry comes, the third battalion will fight back.

Over and over again, the third battalion is like a small strong who can't be killed, stubbornly surviving, even the former commander of the devil formation is secretly amazed, these guys, what kind of material are they made of?

Even if there are casualties under the shells, this is not the most fearful, what they are most afraid of is the poison gas bombs shot down by the devil's mortar.

In the evening, the anxious devils began to use poison gas bombs, and dozens of poison gas bombs were knocked down on the positions of the three battalions, and for a while, the positions were filled with smoke.

Everyone coughed non-stop, and those who had poisonous gas masks quickly put them on, and those who didn't have them looked for water everywhere to cover their noses with towels and clothes, etc., but this ghost place, where did the water come from.

There is no water, so I pee out by myself, dip a towel on my nose, it doesn't matter if it stinks, it's better than dying, but many people don't urine, they haven't eaten or drunk all day, and they sweat and run away if they have a little moisture on their bodies.

Then a few people changed to a towel dipped in urine to cover their noses, changed to a gas mask to inhale, held it first, and then took it to inhale when it was their turn.

In addition, Sangou and everyone went around the position to find some wooden door panels and straws, ignited them, and used the gas generated by the flame to disperse the poisonous gas.

Despite this, more than a dozen brothers were poisoned, and it is estimated that they were also physically weak or injured, so they couldn't hold it back and sucked a little.

As soon as the poisonous gas dissipated, the devils began to attack again, and began to approach cautiously, wanting to see if the Chinese soldiers had been poisoned, but the first batch of devils who came to see directly looked at themselves to the sky.

The three dogs pretended to be poisoned and fell to the ground, motionless, of course, hiding behind various temporary cover things, and when the devils came closer to see, everyone opened fire together, and a piece of devils were knocked down on the spot.

Seeing that the Chinese army is so able to survive, the devils are also angry, and it is estimated that the military order above is very harsh and must be taken today, so the death squad will be organized.

The hundreds of devils of the death squad took off their shirts one by one, tied a white cloth to their heads, and rushed over with bayonets and screams under the cover of dense mortar shells.

Lao Hu also looked energetic, and commanded everyone to first eject a round of grenades, then shoot out the bullets in the gun, and also put on the bayonet, and stabbed the devil.

The devils eat and sleep well, all of them are strong and strong, and these death squads are still the masters picked out, and as soon as they come up, they will press the three battalions to fight, and the three battalions are already hungry and tired to the limit.

Everyone is holding on with one breath, it is when the sun sets, the last position of Qingpu, the two groups of people are fighting to the death, the bayonet is gone, they hold it with their fingers, bite with their mouths.

The people around Lu Kangqi, the commander of the Eighth Company, were all stabbed to death by devils, and he was left alone, facing three or four devils, knowing that he would not be able to live today, and that he would be the last day in the world.

Company Commander Lu completely ignored the bayonets stabbed by other devils, and also stabbed his own bayonet into the chest of a devil on his right, and he was hit by a bayonet in his back, waist, chest, and abdomen.

The four bayonets stirred in Company Commander Lu's body at the same time, and suddenly a huge pain knocked down Company Commander Lu, and as soon as his feet became weak, his body naturally couldn't stand and fell to the ground softly.

The devil still didn't understand his hatred, and he stabbed again, Company Commander Lu gritted his teeth and grabbed a barrel with both hands, but he couldn't exert any strength in his hands, and he couldn't catch it at all.

His body was stabbed into a blood sieve, covered in blood, and covered in blood, but Company Commander Lu was still laughing, laughing and dying with laughter, because he had already pulled the strings of the glorious play on his body before he stabbed the devil on his right.

At the moment when Company Commander Lu was about to die, the glorious bomb finally exploded, and the bright light of the grenade explosion illuminated the last light in Company Commander Lu's eyes, and also illuminated his way to heaven.

Every day is the youngest day in the rest of my life. With each passing day, we are one day older, one day older than the day before.

And they, these martyrs who died bravely on the battlefield, they are so young, today is the last day of their lives, and the oldest day of their lives.

They have no way to survive to the next day;

They, so young; They never grow old;

Because, time stopped at their youngest age

They are forever young and sleep in a strange land thousands of miles away from home.

They want to return to their hometown and smell the fragrance of the soil in their hometown;

They want to go back to their homes and see their parents again;

However, they will never go back.

You will always live,

For forever lives in the hearts of the living,

For we have not forgotten you,

Even if we don't know your name or appearance anymore.

You can come back,

Hometown will always be your home;

Immortal parents, at the door of the house, still waiting for the return of the distant wanderer;

When the soul returns, you are still teenagers.
