Chapter 53: Soldier's Determination
After winning the ambush at Nanzha Street, Gao Fei quickly ordered the whole company to retreat to the second line of the Dayang Bridge for a new defense.
The Akita Infantry Squadron of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, which was hit hard, lost face. Annoyed and angry, the army decided to start a night battle.
At night, the Japanese army, supported by armored vehicles, launched an attack on the Dayang Bridge with armored vehicles as the lead. The intention was to repair the bridge blown up by the Chinese defenders in front of the enemy in order to cross the river.
At this time, the 6th Company commanded by Gao Fei in the frontal defense line was equipped with the strength of two platoons of the Song Changchun Battalion of the 667th Regiment. The flanks are two companies personally mastered by Song Changchun, ready to attack at any time.
The 6th Company commanded by Gao Fei had already spread its reputation in the Huashan area after completing the ambush at Nanzha Street.
There were only about 30 people in the 6th Company, but they fought from Qiaoqi to Qingyang, and from Qingyang to Huashan, killing a major general and a captain of the army, and killing countless enemies.
What made the Chinese defenders of Huashan most curious was where did this team come from?
The first impression of this small unit is that it is a patchwork unit that has been put together improvised, and even the military uniform and number are not the same. There are those who wear the number of the serious [***] elite central teaching corps, and there are the 26th divisions, 123rd divisions, and 126th divisions of the Sichuan Army
In this small army, some of them are veterans, such as Lao Hei; Some still look like dolls, such as lock posts; But there are also [***] officers who have received serious and good training at a glance, such as Ma Debi and Yu Wenzheng.
Some people rush backwards when they see danger, such as Xie Yi; Some people are silent and can't make a fart for half a day, such as Mawang.
Moreover, there are actually two girls in the team!
But this damn 6 companies are so capable of fighting!
"Company Commander Gao?"
The phone rang, and Gao Fei hurriedly took the phone: "Yes, Chief Fang, I'm Gao Fei!" ”
Fang Shuhong's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Pass on the order of Liu Xing, commander-in-chief of Jiangyin Fortress! I have just finished deploying the first-line defense line, and I am ready to fight a decisive battle! Although Qingyang is lost, it must not reduce the determination of my Jiangyin's [***] soldiers to defend the land to the death! All the soldiers of our army swear to fight to the death against the Japanese invaders! ”
"Yes, swear to fight the Japanese to the death!" Goofy replied loudly.
Fang Shuhong's voice continued:
"My 667th Regiment swears to defend the Ocean Bridge, swears to defend Huashan, and swears to defend Jiangyin! Gao Fei, our task is to buy as much time as possible for the defense of the national capital Nanjing! Your 6th Company was temporarily transferred to the command of my 667th Regiment. Therefore, your task is to lead the 6th company, deploy the first line position from Dayang Bridge to Nanzha Street, and the 2 platoons of the Song battalion are unified under your command. ”
"Whoever takes a step back, shoots and kills!"
"Goofy, do you have any other requirements?"
"Yes!" Goofy replied without hesitation: "I need artillery support!" to minimize the losses of our army! ”
"All the artillery fire of Jiangyin Fortress will give our army full support!"
"Thank you, sir, I don't have to ask for it!"
Goofy put down the phone and looked back to see that the brothers were looking at him.
"Pass on the order of the head of Fang Shuhong!" Gao Fei's voice was clear and crisp: "Our department, responsible for defending the first line of positions from Dayang Bridge to Nanzha Street, has no retreat order, and those who take a step back will be killed!" Brothers, some of you are disciples of the old 6th Company, some of you have fought with me all the way here, and some of you have just been transferred from the battalion commander of Song Changchun. We suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield of Songhu, but we have to tell the army on the opposite side that the Chinese [***] people have not been defeated! The spirit of the [***] people is still there! The [***] people can continue to fight! Jiangyin is our grave, and it is also my grave! ”
Immediately, Goofy took a deep breath:
"Raise the flag!"
The blue sky and the red ground slowly rose, and all the soldiers raised their hands!
This is the national flag, which represents the dignity of a country and a nation!
The trumpet sounded, and the party anthem, which was temporarily substituted for the national anthem, also sounded from the mouths of the soldiers:
"Sanming boils righteousness, our party's sect, to build the Republic of China, to build Datong, to consult Erduoshi, for the people's forward, slack, doctrine is from, diligent and courageous, must believe and be loyal, one heart and one morality, and implement throughout!"
The national flag was slowly raised, and Gao Fei said loudly again:
"Rise, Dead Word Flag!"
Lao Hei strode out, and the expression on his face had never been so serious!
A bloodstained banner was held in Lao Hei's hand, and he said loudly: "Report to the chief, please ascend to the Sichuan Army's death flag!" ”
Ma Debi, and Yu Wenzheng, who has trained Lao Hei for a long time, these two officers from the Central Army, for the first time I saw Lao Hei, who is always so hippie and smiling, is so solemn at the moment, and even his face is full of tragedy!
Watching the Death Banner slowly rise, Goofy raised his right hand into a fist, and all the brothers raised their right fists like him. Then, Goofy said word by word:
"Dead word military flag, soldier determination! Millions of Sichuan troops, swear to go out of Sichuan, do not chase the Japanese invaders, and do not collect troops if they die! I die and the country lives, and I live and the country dies! ”
"Dead word military flag, soldier determination!" Millions of Sichuan troops, swear to go out of Sichuan, do not chase the Japanese invaders, and do not collect troops if they die! I die and the country lives, and I live and the country dies! ”
All the brethren of the 6th Company read aloud after their company commander.
This is the cry of all the soldiers, this is the cry of all the [***] people:
I die and the country lives, and I live and the country dies!
The national flag and the death flag fluttered in the wind together, and Gao Fei lowered his fist and shouted:
"Commander Liu Xing ordered to defend Jiangyin and fight a decisive battle! Those who deserve to die and the undead, kill! Those who retreat, kill! Kill! All of them, get into position! ”
The soldiers entered the position like agile and fierce cheetahs, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles were all erected, grenades were unscrewed, and explosive packs were within reach!
Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan saw such a tragic oath for the first time, and these soldiers had already regarded themselves as dead people from the moment they took the oath!
Jing Lianyu also seems to be meeting Gao Fei for the first time. In the previous impression, Goofy gave people the impression that he looked down on women, was domineering, and even a little unreasonable.
But now that Jing Lianyu knows, Gao Fei has long regarded himself as dead, and a person who treats himself as a dead person does not need to be reasonable.
In his heart, he had only one goal: to take his brothers and drive the last Oriental miscellaneous out of China! Nothing else can affect this resolute and unyielding [***] person!
On the night of November 28, 1937, in order to defend Jiangyin and gain enough time for the defense of the national capital Nanjing, the decisive battle between Jiangyin's [***] soldiers and Yue began!
