Chapter Eighty-Three: The Towering Crown, the Blue Blood Pill Heart
The battle at the foot of Zinan Mountain is getting more and more intense, and the vegetation on the entire mountain peak has long been blown into ashes by the Japanese artillery, and the rocks have been turned into scorched earth.
As the two cannons were slanted westward, the remaining two cannons had also been destroyed by the Japanese army, and it was no longer possible to provide artillery support, so the Qing army had to shrink the defensive line and focus on defending several strategic high points on Zinan Mountain to continue to resist. Today, the casualties of the Qing army led by Zuo Guigui have exceeded 1,000, and the number of people who can maintain combat effectiveness is less than 600, and the three lines of defense in front have also been broken through by the Japanese army, and the Qing army only has the last two lines of defense left to defend.
Zuo Guigui's heart was full of anxiety, and his shoulder was also scratched by shrapnel with two deep visible bones, and he saw that the Japanese troops below rushed up again. Zuo Guigui held his waist knife and shouted angrily: "Rush, rush with me!" Beat these Oriental devils back! As he spoke, he took the lead in rushing out of the trench and rushing towards the Japanese army.
Zheng Hao, the head officer on the side, was shocked, hurriedly jumped out of the trench, and hugged Zuo Guigui deadly, "My lord, my lord!" Don't take the risk yourself, you are willing to lead your brothers to fight to the death! Immediately after that, a few more relatives jumped out, grabbed Zuo Guigui, and dragged Zuo Guigui back to the trench.
Zheng Hao shouted: "Brothers, the Oriental devils are here, copy the guys with me, and fight with them!" With that, he rushed out of the trench with a force of Qing troops and nailed the Japanese army to the mountainside. Although the Qing army's hot weapon literacy is not as good as that of the Japanese army, compared to the white-knuckle and hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese soldiers who have just risen are not the opponents of the Qing army.
Only more than 200 Qing soldiers participated in the war, under the first battle, only thirty or forty people remained, and the rest all died on this land, Zheng Hao was carried back to the trench by several Qing soldiers, his body was full of shocking wounds, and his lower abdomen was directly pierced by the Japanese bayonet, and his intestines rolled out.
Zuo Guigui stood in front of Zheng Hao, Zheng Hao's eyes were scattered, and he gasped: "My lord, Zheng Hao...... Can't follow you anymore...... Left and right, Jiuquan...... subordinates continue to be your soldiers...... Before he finished speaking, his head fell fiercely and passed away.
Zuo Guigui looked at the remaining soldiers, and his heart was extremely sad, it was all his own carelessness, so that when he was just engaged, his firepower deployment was completely exposed, so that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in a burst of artillery bombardment, otherwise, why would there be such heavy casualties.
Zuo Guigui shouted angrily: "Brothers, everyone is good! Let's enter the court from outside the border, in order to defeat the **** Oriental devils, so that they don't dare to watch my Qing Dynasty anymore. Now is the time for us to fight to the death to repay the service, I swear that even if I die, I will die in Zinan Mountain, and I will never take half a step back! It belongs to my precious brother on the left, so stand up for me, stick to this place, and never look back! ”
The remaining more than 300 people said in a loud voice: "The subordinates and others swear to follow the adults to the death, and never retreat!" ”
The mountain under the mountain is also anxious, it has been a whole day of fierce fighting, although he has won most of the Zinan Mountain, but there are still two lines of defense that have not broken through, in the delay, the fifth division can really explain, once the fifth division is annihilated, his own vanguard will also face the danger of fighting alone.
Seeing that Shang Wen's forehead was blue and the tendons provoked Lao Gao, he said angrily: "Baga, damn the pig!" Order, the whole army attacked, did not take Zinan Mountain, never rested, charged! ”
Thousands of Japanese troops started a new round of charge, and immediately saw Shangwen shouting: "Artillery, don't spare the shells, aim at the last two lines of defense of the Qing army for me, shelling!" ”
Zinan Mountain was shrouded by shells in an instant, Zuo Guigui knew that the time for the final decisive battle had come, the Japanese generals on the opposite side were definitely a strong enemy, and his 1,500 people could not support it even for a day and a night here, Zhang Yi, Gongting, the old man is afraid that it will be difficult to complete your trust.
Zuo Guigui tore off the outer sword, stood on top of the trench with a knife, and shouted: "Brothers, the old man is standing here and watching, as long as the old man does not fall, you will nail the old man here!" Fight back! ”
The four battalions of the Feng army are all the children of Zuo Guigui brought out, for the old general has great respect, now the old general is standing majestically in the artillery fire, everyone's eyes have long been red, the remaining Green guns are set up, do not fire bullets, a machine gunner died, another Qing soldier rushed over to continue to hold the Green gun shooting, the barrel of the Green gun has been burned red by the flame of the bullet, the fingers of the Qing soldiers have been burned with the heavy machine gun wrench, still unwavering.
In the last battle, the Qing army no longer jumped out of the trenches and charged against the Japanese army, they knew that they were just such a few people, keeping a useful body, and then fighting desperately hand-to-hand at the end, now, it is better to feed the bullets to the Oriental devils.
Zuo Guigui had already thrown away his combat knife, carried the revolver in both hands, fired together, and shot desperately, he had already suffered three or four gunshot wounds on his body, and he didn't care about bandaging, and continued to insist on commanding the battle.
At the moment when the battle was stalemate, a cannonball flew from afar and landed on Zuo Guigui's side, and a guard next to Zuo Guigui saw that it was not good, and directly rushed towards Zuo Guigui, shouting: "My lord, be careful!"
It's just that it was a little late at this time, and the cannonball produced a huge shock wave, which swept the guards out with Zuo Guigui and rolled into the trench with a grunt.
The surrounding Qing soldiers crawled again and again in front of Zuo Guigui and hugged Zuo Guigui, only to see that Zuo Guigui was covered with wounds, and coughed up blood in his mouth again and again, but I was afraid that it would not happen.
Li Min, the head officer, hugged Zuo Guigui and cried: "My lord, my lord! ”
Zuo Guigui reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Li Min, and said vaguely: "Li Min, I'm afraid I can't do it, but as long as I'm not dead, I will never leave Zinan Mountain!" You immediately led the five brothers back to Kaesong, and in front of Nie Gongting, you told him that the old man would ask him for the aftermath of his death, and begged him to rebuild the Fengjun army for me! ”
Li Min cried: "My lord, I will take you back to Kaesong, my lord, you must be fine!" ”
Zuo Guigui said angrily: "Bastard, without the military order of Gongting, Lao Tzu will not leave Zinan Mountain even if he dies, if you don't want me to die without turning a blind eye, immediately roll down Zinan Mountain for me, please Gongting to rebuild the Feng Army, and the Feng Army will rely on you in the future!" Get lost! ”
Li Min cried: "My lord......"
Zuo Guigui's eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Get out!" ”
Li Min wiped away his tears and promised, "Yes!" As he spoke, he turned and left!
Zuo Guigui shouted in a low voice: "Come on, help me to the trench, the old man will die standing up!" ”
