Chapter 222: The Fall of Jinguan Bridge (Part II)
On the opposite side of the Jinqiao Village position, a squadron of the Japanese army was in the process of changing its equipment, all of its excess equipment was unloaded, it was holding a bayonet with a 38 big cover, and its head was covered with a gas mask, and there was nothing else in the bullet box on his waist except bullets, and the people in China had been in the poison gas for 10 minutes, and it is estimated that most of the people were now dead, and the remaining ones were basically weak in their limbs, so they only had to wait for another five minutes, and after the artillery bombardment of the brigade was over, they rushed into the poison gas to shoot the live human target......
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The violent coughing sound kept coming from the position of Jinqiao Village, and the commander of the first battalion was still insisting, overcoming the impulse to get out of the crater with a strong will, and the company left behind was basically finished, and the coughing sound from the surroundings became less and less, and the Chinese defenders who lacked gas masks had to run away in the face of the devil's poison gas bombs, otherwise they could only be killed by the devil's anti-chemical warfare soldiers with bayonets......
The order to retreat was passed to the first battalion commander by the guards who risked death after Pan Zhi left, but the injured battalion commander looked at the shells that kept exploding around him, and knew that it was just a luxury to leave alive, the poisonous gas continued to enter the lungs, and the violent coughing was constantly drawing his physical strength, not to mention running, it was very tiring to crawl on the ground, so he refused the guard's proposal to leave, lay down on the earthen wall of the crater, curled up in a ball, and tried to save his physical strength, waiting for the arrival of the devil's anti-chemical warfare soldiers......
"Damn, labor and management have to pull a few cushions on their backs!" The commander of the first battalion secretly thought in his heart that several brothers who were holding back the same thoughts and insisting were preparing grenades one after another, tied to their waists, the back cover of the grenade had been opened, and the pull ring was put on their fingers, just waiting for the devil to come and pull ......
In the crater at the front of the position, there are three brothers hugging each other with bruised faces, the box in the middle of them is the detonator of the mine array in front of the position, the eyes of the three brothers are very resolute, they already know the news of the retreat, but they can't go, anyway, the left and right are dead, just guard this detonator, and give the devil a ruthless blow when he dies! It's just that they can't blow up the devil's tank, so let the devil's infantry taste the power of mines!
At the front position of Jinguanqiao, the company commander who stayed behind listened to the explosions coming from Jinqiao Village from time to time, looked at the opposite side worriedly, and prayed in his heart not to hear the sound of landmine explosions! The mines in front of this are all triggered, and they will explode once a devil steps on them, and the sound of an explosion from a mine indicates that the devil has come......
"Company Commander Wang, the regiment commander ordered that all the troops withdraw to Kongjiashan for defense, and the task of your department is to cover the retreat of the main force half an hour after the break in this place!" The brothers sent by the commander of the second battalion found the company commander who stayed behind and conveyed the order,
"Does the battalion commander have anything else to explain?" The company commander who stayed behind asked,
"The battalion commander asked me to tell you, blow up this bridge, don't leave it to the devils; Then it's time to retreat! And the herald whispered,
"You go back and tell the regiment commander to ensure that the mission is completed!" The company commander who stayed behind said,
"Take care! We are waiting for you to come back in Kongjiashan! Then the brother who gave the order ran back and pursued the main army......
"Inform the brothers in Zhujia Village to withdraw and don't need to be vigilant!" The company commander who stayed behind called out to a brother and commanded,
"A long platoon, collect explosives! Prepare to blow up the bridge! "The second platoon leader, monitoring the direction of Jinqiao Village; If a devil is approaching, warn you! ”
"Three platoon commanders, put all the ammunition on the battlefield, and prepare to fight the devil!"
The company commander did not forget about his task and issued orders in an orderly manner......
The troops left behind at Jinguanqiao were busy preparing, this reinforced company had a total of five platoons, nearly two hundred brothers, but the mortars were gone, only three Czech light machine guns were strengthened, and there was a Min 24 heavy machine gun in this position, and all six Czech light machine guns of the whole company were scattered in the trenches; Boxes of grenades were brought to the position, and the platoon leader at the grassroots level was telling his brothers to pay attention to the situation in front of the position......
On the position of Jinqiao Village, the shelling of the devils finally stopped, and there was an eerie silence on the battlefield, and the devil infantry wearing gas masks did not roar, bent over, and the officers gestured; The infantry with the devils pulled away and slowly approached the defense line of Jinqiao Village......
"Brothers, the devil's shelling has stopped; Which of you two goes to the edge of the crater and watches, and the devil will make some noise when he enters the minefield! Don't let such a good guy go to waste! One of the brothers next to the detonator kicked and breathed, his breathing and his weak body making it impossible for him to move; Beside him lay five brothers, all of whom had died in the gas......
"I'll go, my brothers will help me push my back! Harder, I'll crawl away; A thin brother said,
Sitting on the ground, he no longer has the strength to stand up, he is trying to store his physical strength, as long as he lies up less than five meters, he can poke his head out to check the situation in front of the position, if the poison gas rages from time to time, even if he is injured, he can easily lie down this distance, but now for these brothers who are tortured by the poison gas, it is very good to be able to survive, and it has become very difficult to lie down this distance again;
Two hands at the same time on the thin brother's back, at the same time, the thin brother leaned forward body finally succeeded in lying on the ground, mustering up strength, limbs at the same time, difficult to crawl upward, but the stored physical strength can only support him to climb over a distance of less than three meters, the sound of heavy breathing shows that the brother can no longer crawl, there is a sharp feeling of dizziness in his mind, the brother feels that he may fall asleep at any time, the poisonous gas that continues to enter the lungs with the acceleration of breathing makes him cough constantly, The physical strength in the body is constantly lost with coughing......
"Hehe, you want me to sleep? What is the end of the work of labor and management? The emaciated brother drew a bayonet from his trouser leg and stabbed himself in the shoulder......
"Poof!" With the bayonet like a body, blood flowed out, the intense pain drove away the feeling of wanting to sleep in his mind, and he felt that the whole person was awake, and he let the bayonet stick to his shoulder, as if his strength had returned, gritted his teeth and continued to go up......
The short distance of five meters allowed the brother to take ten minutes, and finally climbed to the edge of the crater, poked his head out and looked ahead, the whole position was filled with gunpowder smoke and mud......
"What should I do?" There was no sound in the quiet position, except for the occasional coughing......
A chill came from his blood-soaked clothes, which kept the brother coughing and staying awake......
