Chapter Seventy-Eight: Promoted

Although this time the strength of a large group of Japanese troops was defeated, but the Japanese army was not completely annihilated.

However, Wang Changgui still gained a lot of weapons and equipment, such as 5 Type 96 light machine guns and 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns; and more than 30 grenades, 12 gas bombs, and 5 grenadiers.

However, in addition to being happy, Wang Changgui did not eat alone, but left all the heavy weapons and equipment such as the 92nd infantry gun and mortars to Brigade Commander Ye Weihao.

At the same time, as soon as he got these weapons and equipment, he immediately shifted his position to avoid the counterattack of Japanese planes and large forces.

Because now is not the critical moment to fight with the Japanese army, the enemy is exhausted, and my spirit is in full swing; It was not when the enemy and us were evenly matched, but when the Japanese army was in full swing, with sufficient troops and excellent weapons and equipment.

Because just when Wang Changgui and his team had just defeated the Japanese brigade of Yamajo Masato, more than 2,000 reinforcements had already been dispatched to the rear of the Japanese army; More than 20 tanks, more than 40 armored vehicles, more than 30 artillery pieces, and more than 500 cavalry rushed over under the leadership of the angry and fierce-eyed Yamazaki Shiro Daisa.

At the same time, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army also dispatched more than 10 planes to quickly fly to the scene where Wang Changgui and his men had just fought, preparing to pursue the whereabouts of Wang Changgui and Brigade Commander Ye Weihao.

If in addition to the Battle of Taierzhuang in the Battle of Xuzhou, which killed almost 20,000 Japanese troops, then in the two battles of the Linyi Campaign, the four brigades of the Japanese Katano, Nagano, and Lifan Wing were all annihilated by the 59th Army, about 6,000 people.

The armies of Zhang and Pang annihilated almost 10,000 Japanese troops.

But in the end, Linyi City was still captured by the Japanese army, and when these damned Japanese invaders occupied Linyi City; They carried out a crazy ravage on the city of Linyi, the tragedy of the massacre was similar to the Nanjing Massacre, the ferocious Japanese army continued to burn and loot in the city, ** captivity, and killed people with a bayonet.

For women and women in the city, they are raped first and then killed, even the elderly and children are not spared.

Even the unarmed refugees and innocent civilians were killed by the Japanese army after they were first machine-gunned and then brutally tortured with bayonets, and hundreds of civilians were often brutally slaughtered and mutilated by the Japanese army. The Japanese army's methods of brutalizing the people are simply outrageous and cruel.

For example, lighting a fire and burning a child alive; and blocking doors with machine-gun fire, and throwing grenades at bombardments; There are also a number of killing fields, where military dogs, bayonets, and sabers are used to kill innocent people for fun.

In short, the Japanese army set fire to the city at the same time as the massacre, and the fire burned for seven days; Until the entire southwest corner of Linyi City is turned into ashes, killed and burned into scorched earth.

Regarding the massacre of the Japanese army and the atrocities of the massacre of the city announced on the Internet in later generations, Wang Changgui is very clear.

For this reason, he knew very well what kind of danger and terrible fate would happen to the innocent people there once Zengcheng and Guangzhou City fell.

Therefore, on the way to evacuate quickly, Wang Changgui's heart was also constantly thinking about how to kill more Japanese soldiers to avenge the Chinese people who had been killed or were about to be brutally killed, and the Guangdong officers and soldiers.

"These damn Japanese devils, I will never be able to bypass you, especially you Japanese officers with brutal personalities and militaristic heads, I will definitely do everything I can to kill you!"

"Guzhuang Ganlang! Toshikichi Ando! There is also a long-term Cheng Yi! Since you have come here in Guangzhou, then don't think about leaving with your life, I will kill you bastards, I will never be a man! ”

After gradually moving away from the battlefield just now, Wang Changgui also became more and more determined that all the high-ranking officers of the Japanese 21st Army who would invade Guangzhou in the future should be sniped and killed.

"I plan to divide my troops into four routes, escape from Zengcheng and return to Guangzhou City to join our large army!"

When Brigade Commander Ye Weihao felt that he and his troops had safely left the battlefield where he had just fought desperately with the Japanese army, he stopped and made a suggestion to Wang Changgui and them.

"Hmmm! I agree too! Because on the way to escape, we have already encountered two groups of Japanese planes! ”

"It's a good thing we didn't find out by them, or we'd be in trouble!"

Wang Changgui also nodded in agreement.

"Good! Since it's long and expensive! If you agree, then let's go our separate ways! ”

"Before I came here to rescue you, our division commander Li Zhenqiu had already said that Commander Yu had promoted you to battalion commander! It just so happens that we are now short of several battalion commanders, because several battalion commanders have already died in the battle with the Japanese army! ”

"So I'm going to promote you to the commander of the third battalion of the second regiment right now! However, I now only have one company, a total of more than 120 troops, to be deployed to you, let you command the battle! ”

"Actually, I want to give you more troops, but I have two battalions of troops on hand now, and after the fierce battle just now, I only have a battalion or more of my remaining troops!"

After seeing that Wang Changgui agreed with his suggestion, Brigadier Ye Weihao immediately clapped his hands happily and decided.

"Thank you, sir, for your cultivation! I will definitely continue to work hard to kill more devils! ”

Hearing this, Wang Changgui also happily saluted a very standard military salute and agreed in a majestic voice.

"Well done! I'm optimistic about you! Our 186th Division needs officers like you who are brave and brave in battle! ”

"That's it! I won't talk too much nonsense, let's divide our troops and get out of here now! If we don't wait for the Japanese planes and the fighting army to catch up, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave! ”

"And even if we can break out safely, we will be consumed a lot of officers and soldiers!"

Seeing that Wang Changgui readily agreed to his arrangement order, Brigade Commander Ye Weihao also said happily very heartily.

He then distributed troops, armament, and ammunition to the other officers, as well as dry rations.

It didn't take long for a total of more than 400 people to be divided into four companies and evacuated in four directions.

And the company led by Wang Changgui has more than 100 people, all of whom are veterans with actual combat experience and Japanese-style firearms. Of course, the light machine gun group and the heavy machine gun group, as well as the grenadier group, are also equipped together.

Moreover, the escort Wu Zhiwei and the platoon commander Chen Jilong also followed together, and continued to embark on the evacuation journey with Wang Changgui.

"These damn devils! When Lao Tzu arrives in Guangzhou City, he must find a way to get more weapons and equipment, and then kill all these dead devils! ”

On the way to evacuate, the guard Wu Zhiwei was chattering and cursing those Japanese soldiers.

Because in the battle just now, although he shot and killed 5 Japanese officers very heroically, his left arm was also injured by the Japanese soldiers using the 38 big cover.

Fortunately, it was just a general skin injury, otherwise there would be no doctors, no nurses and no medical supplies to treat it; Once he and other Cantonese soldiers were seriously injured by the Japanese army, it would be as if they were slowly killed by the Japanese army; I can only wait for death in agony, and I can't do anything about it.

"Don't be verbose, be careful of being discovered by Japanese planes, otherwise if they carry out air raids, we don't know how many soldiers will die due to the lack of air defense weapons and equipment!"

Regarding the guard Wu Zhiwei's abuse of hating the Japanese army, Wang Changgui reminded in a low voice.

In this regard, the guard Wu Zhiwei immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to mutter.

At the same time, he also quickened his pace and hurriedly followed Wang Changgui, who had already left him some distance.
