Chapter 90: A Bunch of Silly GIs
The Battle of Nanjing, which began vigorously, turned into a rout retreat in a chaotic way!
The soldiers on the front line fought bloodily and forgot their lives until the enemy reached the position, resolutely pulled off the explosives, and died with the enemy. They have gone from one country to another, defending the nation's capital with their lives and loyalty. But an order to retreat without warning made all efforts go to waste.
Nanjing, plunged into chaos.
But not every unit will evolve into a rout, the remnants of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment and the remnants of the 305th Regiment are still fighting.
And there is a small army that has also begun to join the final defense of Nanjing!
This unit is the 26th Brigade of the 76th Brigade of the 151st Regiment of the 6th Division of the Sichuan Army!
This force, in a sense, has become a small force in a hundred battles. Each of them has crawled out of the pile of dead people through a hundred battles.
Many of them are foul-mouthed and sloppy, but as soon as a gun goes off, they will become a truly good soldier and devote themselves to sniping at the enemy!
Saihongqiao, 302nd Battalion, 1st Regiment.
The new battalion commander Xu Jingming looked at the position and there were 128 brothers.
This is a barely cobbled together force, and they have only one mission:
Your Highness!
Cover the retreat of the whole brigade and fight to the last soldier, this is the order given by the commander!
Everyone who remained knew what this command meant to them. There is death and no life!
The 1st Battalion had already been exhausted, and the officers and soldiers from the battalion commander Zheng Pusheng to the following were all killed in the tragic battle with the Yue army. These 128 people are the last strength that the 302 regiment can put together!
Not a single person complained, and everyone was ready for the last time!
In fact, there is nothing to fear, and at the last moment, as soon as the gun is fired, there is no pain or fear.
Xu Jingming took another look at his position, which was the place where the whole battalion was martyred, but it was also the grave where the army was buried.
"Battalion commander, this is the brother of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army!"
Xu Jingming glanced at the soldier in front of him with some confusion, and the soldier straightened his waist: "Report to the chief, I am Ma Debi, deputy company commander of the 3rd Battalion and 6th Company of the 151st Regiment of the 76th Brigade of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army." On the orders of our company commander Gao Fei, assist your battalion in defensive operations! ”
Xu Jingming frowned: "Is your company commander a madman?" At this time, everyone is retreating, and Goofy actually wants to stay? ”
"Report sir, it's a madman!" Ma Debi replied hard: "He went crazy all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, and now, even my brothers have become crazy under the teaching of the senior officer!" ”
Immediately, Ma Debi paused: "Sir, aren't you also a madman?" Everyone is retreating, but you are behind the temple! ”
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Xu Jingming's mouth, and Ma Debi then said:
"Sir, at present, our company is arming on the left flank of Saihongqiao. As soon as the army begins to attack, ask your battalion to resist on the front, and we will strike on the flank. The heavy weapons of the army could not be brought in for a while, and we could hold out for at least six hours! ”
"Help me, thank you, sir." Xu Jingming nodded and looked at the table below: "It's limited to six hours, and when the time comes, please retreat immediately." Tell Goofy that this is the order! ”
"Yes!" Ma Debi responded loudly, and then hesitated: "May I ask you, sir?" ”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xu Jingming's mouth: "We can't go back." The commander ordered, the 1st battalion fought to the death, and was not allowed to retreat! ”
Ma Debi pursed his lips, then slowly raised his hand and gave a military salute
Shibata Yoshio's complexion has never looked good since Jiangyin.
He couldn't understand why his troops had suffered so many setbacks. Those [***] people on the other side will not have any intention of surrendering even if they run out of ammunition and food!
Nanjing is in front of him, and through Saihongqiao, he can lead the troops into Nanjing with a swagger, but it is in this place that he is actually met with fierce resistance from the Chinese!
Humiliation and anger filled Yoshio Shibata, and he never wanted to become a laughing stock in the army!
All the forces were thrown into the attack! Shibata Yoshio swore that as long as he could stand on the opposite position, not a single Chinese soldier would be able to appear alive!
But Shibata Yoshio didn't know that on the other side of Saihongqiao, one of his old opponents had been waiting quietly there for a long time
Gao Fei and his brothers in the 6th Company calmly lay in ambush on the position, patiently watching the army launch attacks again and again, no one moved, everyone was waiting for Gao Fei's order to be issued!
The army poured up towards the position of the 1st Battalion one after another, and the 1st Battalion, under the command of Battalion Commander Xu Jingming, did its best to carry out the final resistance there!
Gao Feiping raised the Remington in his hand, breathing evenly, and did not let him be distracted by the intensity of the battle. He knew what it meant when his guns rang out!
The muzzle of the gun was already aimed at an officer of the army who was screaming and commanding there.
Goofy licked his lips, then pulled the trigger lightly with his fingers.
Remington let out a roar, and suddenly, the entire 6th Company position started at the same time!
The fire organized by a dozen machine guns was amazing, and in an instant, the Japanese army that was frantically attacking there was swept away.
The army team, which had originally attacked in an orderly manner, was in chaos under the blow of the 6th Company.
The soldiers lay down in a panic, "splitting and crackling" and placing their guns indiscriminately, and they had no idea which direction the attack was coming from.
The battle-hardened soldiers of the 6th Company showed calmness and composure, constantly changing positions and looking for the most favorable shooting spots.
They pulled the trigger steadily and accurately, and combined with those roaring machine guns, they killed and injured all the living forces of the army to the greatest extent.
The commander of a unit is the soul of this unit!
Gao Fei's bravery, the spirit of putting life and death out of the way, has infected every brother in the 6th Company, whether they are veterans or have just joined this unit.
They know what they're doing and why they're doing it, even though some of their practices may seem unwise to outsiders.
However, if everyone is so wise on the battlefield, there will be less backbone of some soldiers! Backbone is all that supports a country's army! Backbone is the dignity of a nation!
These are a bunch of stupid soldiers!
A group of stupid soldiers who did not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice for their country!
