Chapter 43: The Sharpshooter

Although the demolition and relocation work has caused public resentment to boil, extraordinary matters must be enforced in extraordinary cases. Although the loss of people is not small, the most precious life, the vast majority of people have been preserved after all.

The reason why Hu Fei dared to risk the world's condemnation to do this kind of violent demolition work was because he knew too much about the temperament of devils. He led his troops to resist in Lanfeng City, if the city can hold it, it's okay to say, if it can't be held? When the county town fell, that is, the people of the city fell into purgatory!

Don't remember Port Arthur?

On November 21, 1894, the Japanese army defeated the Qing army at that time and captured Lushun, and carried out a massacre for four days and three nights. The city was full of tens of thousands of people, but only 36 people who buried their bodies survived. All women were raped and all babies were killed. This is the bestial behavior of Japanese animals!

The far one is Lushun, and the one closest is Nanjing. On December 13, 1937, the Japanese captured Nanjing, beginning a six-week massacre. By February 1938, more than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians had been massacred in Nanjing. Since then, the Japanese army has become synonymous with murderous demons and cannibalistic beasts.

Today, although Lanfeng is different from Lushun and Nanjing, Hu Fei does not dare to be careless. He can't gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city that the beasts will change from evil to good. In order to protect the tens of thousands of people in the city from being slaughtered like Lushun and Nanjing, Hu Fei had to make this decision.

While evacuating the people, Hu Fei was also ready to fight with the Japanese in the streets. He even quietly sent people to place a large amount of fuel oil, gunpowder, and dry firewood waste in the densely populated residential area, just waiting for the last moment to burn down the county seat!

The devil is finally here! Before dark, a large number of devils came to Lanfeng City. First of all, the devils sent planes to carry out a tentative bombardment of the city of Lanfeng, and then the Japanese army began a fierce artillery bombardment of our army's fortifications outside the city.

Fortunately, Hu Fei had been prepared for a long time, and the repeated bombardment by Japanese planes and artillery did not cause much damage to our officers and men and various firepower points in the city.

After the shelling ended, the devils sent ground troops to attack the city walls. The garrison of our army put up a heroic and stubborn resistance! In particular, the officers and men of the 88th Division, who were later forcibly left behind to participate in the battle to defend the city, were particularly brave.

In fact, in addition to the battle defense artillery company, the remaining scattered soldiers of the 88th Division recruited by Hu Fei added up to only about 200 people, and when they got together, they were at most the strength of a reinforced company. This point of men and horses is a drop in the ocean in a large-scale battle, and it will not play a big role. But they exerted unexpected energy in the defense of Lanfeng!

The people of the 88th Division are unbalanced! Who used to say that they were all German mechanics and elite of the national army, which one didn't give a thumbs up? Even if the army was re-established after the Battle of Nanjing, no one dared to underestimate them.

But now? In the past few hours, the former elite have been discriminated against and humiliated. Those cavalrymen of unknown origin insulted and humiliated them with all kinds of barbaric and foul language! And those who dared to resist were either beaten or had their heads cut off! And the reason why they were treated like this was simply because their division commander Long Muhan retreated with his troops!

The division commander ran away, what is in the way of them, the low-level officers and soldiers? Isn't it for them to run? But instead of Long Muhan, these ordinary officers and soldiers were treated worse than prisoners!

Now that they can finally face the devil face to face, these officers and soldiers who were once strictly trained and once regarded as elite immediately vented their anger on the devil. If it weren't for these short-sighted devils, would they have suffered such humiliation?

The officers and men of the 88th Division, who were full of grief and indignation, showed unexpected bravery in the battle against the Japanese army. When the devils launched an attack on our position, no one asked for it, and no one mobilized, and all the officers and men of the 88th Division on the position took the initiative to enter the most dangerous defensive position. These are the most dangerous locations, but they are also the most powerful places to fire directly at the devils!

Xing Baoshan was a platoon commander of the 88th Division, and he and his brothers in the platoon were blocked outside the city by a platoon of cavalry led by Tuosang. At that time, because Xing Baoshan questioned the legitimacy of the cavalry brigade, he was beaten up by several cavalry partners. This is a great shame in life for Xing Baoshan!

Xing Baoshan was naturally unconvinced, but he found out his luck ten minutes later. A platoon commander who was in the same battalion as him said something similar to him, but the poor man was beheaded by the inhuman cavalry!

With such an extraordinary experience, Xing Baoshan can only endure no matter how wronged he is. No matter how much the cavalry cursed and humiliated, Xing Baoshan just bowed his head and remained silent. It wasn't until he went to the battlefield and faced the devil until now that Xing Baoshan's bloody nature broke out completely.

A formal rifle in one, almost a gun is not empty. As long as the gun goes off, there will inevitably be a devil on the opposite side who will be shot and fall to the ground! Back then, Xing Baoshan used to be the first sharpshooter of the 264th Brigade, and once accepted a bonus of 50 yuan from the brigade commander Huang Meixing in the brigade shooting competition! Today, he wants to use the rifle in his hand to prove his excellence to the dirt bun cavalry around him!

"Well done, boy!" Li San climbed next to Xing Baoshan with a bag of bullets and couldn't help but praise him. Unexpectedly, this praise was exchanged for a cold snort from Xing Baoshan's nose, and the platoon leader Xing couldn't look down on Li San, who had a slingshot in his waist and dressed like an old peasant.

The pistol was raised, and a devil officer with a command knife fell down on the opposite side. Li San's face was a little sneering, how to say that he was also the company commander of the cavalry brigade, and being treated so impolitely by a small platoon commander still made him a little uncomfortable. However, this platoon leader's marksmanship is really powerful, and it seems that he is stronger than Hu Feidu. People who have the ability have tempers! Li San now has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

The devil retreated. Li Sangang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Xing Baoshan beside him to shout, "Kill!" Then he jumped out of cover, grabbed his rifle and rushed out!

"Come back, come back! Give me the fuck back! Li Sanyi didn't hold it, and hurriedly shouted behind him. As a result, not only did his shouting not work, but more soldiers jumped up and rushed up with Xing Baoshan! Stamped Li San so anxiously that he was really a bunch of deadly boys!

Xing Baoshan just charged with the courage of blood and energy. He didn't think about anything else in his heart, he just wanted to kill a few more devils so that he could correct himself and the 88th Division! As you run, you shoot bullets from your gun. It's a lot worse to be on the track than to climb there to aim. Xing Baoshan finished all the remaining three bullets in the chamber, but he just hit two more devils.

At this moment, a familiar scream suddenly appeared in his ears, and the devil fired!
