Chapter 22: The Two Who Died Tragically
"According to the report, there was a fierce exchange of fire in the left rear of our department, and it has been found that the two sides of the battle are Suzuki, Sasaki squads and a small group of Chinese troops in charge of guarding the division headquarters." A Japanese scout reports to Hattori Masao, who has just stabilized his footing.
Behind the left of my department? Isn't that the direction of the divisional headquarters? And the two squads responsible for guarding the division were in exchange of fire. It can't be wrong, this Chinese army must be the culprit in the attack on the division headquarters.
Hattori Masao decided to personally exterminate this Chinese army, first, to be ashamed, and second, to avenge Akimichi. Hattori ordered: "The Yamazaki Squadron of the 3rd Wing and the Honda Squadron of the 5th Wing will go with me to destroy the Shina soldiers who attacked the division headquarters, and we will use their heads to honor General Akimichi." ”
More than 200 people from two infantry squadrons rushed towards Sima Changkong's reconnaissance company with great vigour.
"Battalion commander, it's not good! Behind us there is a brigade of devils! A reconnaissance company soldier noticed from a distance that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted into the sky!
Changkong also wants to hide, but these two teams are too tenacious......
"Battalion commander, you quickly lead people to evacuate the battle! I'm here to go! "The devil who Deng Zhizheng is shooting doesn't dare to look up.
"No, if you want to go back, you have to go back together!"
"Don't waste time, battalion commander! If you don't leave, you have to let the little devil wrap up! Don't worry, I can't die! ”
Chen Dabiao also rushed over to fight with Deng Zhi and said, "Battalion commander, I am with Deng Yi!" This time, you can rest assured! See you back at the position! ”
"But ......"
"Don't be it! If you really treat us as brothers, leave quickly! Come on! "Deng Zhi's anxious jumping feet!
"Battalion commander, let's all stay! You go! "The brothers of the Scout Company are also determined to stay.
"Okay, I'm going back, please drink!" Changkong wiped his tears, and only took a dozen people to run away from the side path. In the face of so many Japanese troops, it is impossible for anyone to escape easily!
……
The two squadrons brought by Hattori also joined the battle, breaking the original balance, and the battlefield situation instantly engulfed Deng Zhi and the others. When the bullets ran out, they swung their knives and slashed indiscriminately.
Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao frantically slashed the Japanese army, which was the most dazzling bloom of life......
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company fell, and the soil of the place was soaked in blood. The devils surrounded them, Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao were already tired, and the two sat back to back on the ground talking, as if there were no enemies around, as if they were old friends drinking tea and chatting together.
"I said Brother Biao, it's November now, and it's more than a month to celebrate the New Year. Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Deng Zhi asked with a pant.
"Next year I want to marry a daughter-in-law and buy two acres of land! Have a bunch of children and live a stable life! Chen Dabiao laughed twice after speaking.
"Hahaha, Brother Biao, your New Year's wish will come true in the next life!" Deng Zhi looked at the Japanese soldiers around him, all holding bright bayonets.
"Alas, the next life will be the next life! I hope there will be no more wars in the next life! You said that if we die together, will we become the same mother and compatriots in the next life? Then I have to be your brother! ”
"Who knows! Hahaha! Let's compare, whoever dies first is the elder brother! ”
Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao stood up suddenly, took knives and slashed two or three devils each, but it was all over......
The devils kicked the two who were already limp to the ground, and stabbed Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao in the stomach with bayonets...... Deng Zhi was out of breath. Chen Dabiao was spitting blood, his whole body was convulsed, he used up the little strength he had left, and said with a smile: "You kid ran first, let's race on Huangquan Road again, I will run in front of you......" Chen Dabiao's big eyes were gone......
Hattori ordered all the Chinese soldiers who died in the battle to pay tribute, but the murderous nature was still exposed, and he personally cut off the heads of Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, who had the rank of captain, and took them to the front of the army.
After He Jifeng led the crowd to retreat to the position, he never saw Sima Changkong come back, and the tendons on his body were tense, and he sent someone to answer but was beaten back by the Hattori brigade. He Jifeng finally understood at this time that the Japanese army had discovered Sima Changkong and others, and he had already encountered an accident.
Sima Changkong and a dozen soldiers fled to a wood, which had deviated from the course of action, and was a completely unfamiliar place, but at least it was safe now, and the soldiers were hungry and tired, so they had better rest and recuperate before making plans. Changkong was thinking about Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, he understood that there could be no way to survive in that situation, unless he surrendered, but these two people were not greedy for life and afraid of death, and they would definitely fight the enemy to the death! I'm going to die! He prefers to believe in groundless miracles that can save the lives of two people...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese troops of the two brigades began to attack again, this time it was their revenge action, and their arrogance was high, and all the Japanese soldiers had the spirit of "seven lives to serve the country". He Jifeng saw through the telescope that two bamboo poles were stretched out high in the vanguard of the Hattori Brigade, and a human head was hanging on each of the bamboo poles. He Jifeng's heart was like being poked hard by an awl, and with an "ah" sound, he staggered against the trench, tears crackling from his face to his feet.
Yang Rong also saw the remains of Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, and cried and shouted on his back: "The two brothers died a heroic death!" The Heroic Spirit is not far away! Watch me kill these wolfdogs from heaven! ”
He Jifeng grabbed Yang Rong's arm and said: "The Japanese have always shown the public with the highest military rank, it seems that Sima Changkong is still alive, you take someone there.. Go get him back! Even if he dies in battle, he has to bring the body back! ”
Where is it so good to get out, the Japanese mountain artillery and mortars bombard the defenders' positions in rows, who can take the lead, who dares to take the lead!
The combat habit of the Japanese army was that after the artillery bombarded the infantry charge, the positions of the special service battalion were about to be scorched, and the defenders were dizzy from the bombing.
On the one hand, Qisheng served the country, and on the other hand, he avenged his brother who died tragically, and the two sides started a tug-of-war again, even if Yang Rong wanted to rush out to find Sima Changkong, he didn't have time to leave the position, and there was no extra manpower to go together.
You rushed back and forth for another afternoon. The sky will be dark, the wind will be scorched, and the heavens and the earth will be filled with dead bodies.
He Jifeng was shot through the left chest by a bullet and was sent away for first aid, the 179th Division ran out of ammunition and food in a bloody battle with the Japanese army for two days, and the nearby brother troops only retreated and did not lend a helping hand. . . The Daimyo's Mansion was lost.. The Japanese Kishimoto Brigade has entered the city..
Yang Rong organized twelve people to find Sima Changkong, this is the entrustment of Division Commander He when he was shot, even if there is no entrustment from Division Commander He, Yang Rong will never retreat with the troops, because his cherished brother is uncertain about life and death in the enemy's hinterland.
Sima Changkong took advantage of the afterglow of the evening to find a way back to the position with his soldiers. They are so tired, they have no food, no water... What drives them to move forward step by step is inertia and instinct.
"Stop" a few Japanese soldiers with 38 big covers popped out of nowhere.
Changkong is now about to kill when he sees a devil, "Hit me", as soon as the gunshots rang out, a team of devils came out not far from the front, "It's not good, retreat quickly!" "Changkong took people back and ran. How could the devils let it go! The leader of the pursuit was still a major general - Hattori Masan. This is Hattori's command post, but it's well camouflaged, and the guards are all secret sentinels, no wonder Changkong didn't see it. If Qiu Dao does this, he won't be able to die.
Changkong fought back while running, the brothers around him fell one after another, and he was the only one left to run again, a huge panic fell from the sky, hit him the top of the head, and the bullets were also gone.. Forget it, what's the use of being afraid! It's a big deal to die here!
Changkong tossed the gun aside and drew his knife.
Hattori took a look, this kid seemed to have two hits, so he asked the devil soldiers not to step forward, and they couldn't shoot, they had to go into battle in person, and between men and men, it was a duel between knives and knives.
Hattori had studied Shinto Wunian Flow, the way of the sword was six dans, and he was a master in the army, he pulled out his sword, saw that Changkong's rank was major, and understood seven or eight points in his heart, and said in Chinese, which is not fluent: "Appearing in this place, you must have attacked our division headquarters!" ”
"I led someone to beat it! Sooner or later, I'll take your ministry too! ”
Hattori said contemptuously: "You don't have a chance!" I will let you die by my sword in agony. Then cut off your head and tie it to the two I cut before and make it into a specimen! Oh, maybe only yours can make a specimen... For those two heads may have been in our siege. Shattered! ”
"What?" Changkong's eyes widened, he guessed who the devil major general in front of him was talking about, but he didn't believe it, he didn't dare to believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.
"I guess those two people are probably your subordinates. They died a heroic death! The one with the twin knives still looked like a child, and the black-faced one died with a smile. I admire them! ”
Hearing that Hattori announced the death of Deng Zhi and Chen Dabiao, Changkong's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and there was still a trace of fantasy... Now even illusions are shattered! Changkong, who lost his mind, frantically attacked Hattori, but the grief and anger did not add a trace of power to Changkong's attack, but instead messed up the knife path and cut it blindly, which may still be effective for people who have no kung fu, but for Hattori of the sixth stage of kendo, it is not enough to threaten at all.
"It seems that you are in grief, there is only this extent! I'm going to rush into the city, so I'm sorry, I'm going to kill you here! "Hattori raised his knife and slashed into the sky...
