Chapter 104: Pull

Like many soldiers who died in battle without even their names, the only remaining memory of the Boy Scouts in later generations is Yang Huimin, and most people only remember her actions, but forget her identity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, she is the same as the 500,000 Boy Scouts in the country, and the other more than 2,000 people in the service group of the Shanghai Scout Station, these people have been running to all sides of the battlefield in the past three months of war, and many soldiers who have just gotten off the train see them dressed in yellow decorations, and suddenly feel that they have come to the right place - the young master and young lady of the landlord's family have all gone to the battlefield, and they can still spare this life?

Although these numbers are small, they can play a significant role as literate Shanghai locals. Moreover, teenagers, no matter how you look at them, are immature, and in the case of the Japanese army's air supremacy, there is not much difference between the rear and the front of the battlefield, so that children who are four or five years older than their daughter are under the bombing of Japanese aircraft, Du Yuming is really difficult to nod to Du Baiqing.

"General: Almost all the things removed from the front line are ......transported by our Boy Scouts," Du Baiqing continued, saying that the Boy Scouts have been serving on the battlefield, so Du Yuming is still blushing.

Seeing that the scene was deadlocked, Hou Teng had to say: "Brother Guangting, their car has already gone to the station, and they are the only ones who have the car, and those broken tanks and cannons can't be carried back by us." ”

"You!" Du Yuming flicked his sleeves, and when he saw Du Baiqing, he thought of the ten-year-old Du Zhili, how could he have no other car, so he had to snort out of Sun Yuanliang's headquarters.

In the early winter, the leaves of the woods have fallen off, but fortunately, next to the command post of the armored regiment is a large camphor that does not fall leaves, and it is impossible to see whether it is a civilian house or the headquarters of the Chinese army below. At this time, more than 20 trucks of various models were parked under the camphor tree, the hoist of the wooden tripod was pulled up with a clatter, an 88mm anti-aircraft gun that had been blown up and dismantled was being hoisted into the trunk, other tank parts, parts, and anti-aircraft guns were being loaded onto the car, and those barely movable Vickers amphibious tanks were hanging behind the trucks -- this kind of tank, which weighed only three tons, could be easily towed away by trucks.

The eight-ton Vickers artillery tanks were a bit more troublesome, but Colonel Peng Bisheng had already put these Vickers tanks behind the 90-horsepower German-made Milli Whiskers armored vehicles (Sd.kfz221). There were sixteen Millibeard armoured vehicles when they came, and now only five remain; There were thirty-two Vickers tanks when they came, and now only six remain; There were more than 600 people when they came, and now there are only 300 left.

Seeing Du Yuming coming, Peng Bisheng ran over and said, "Brother Guangting, it's convenient to have a car, it will be loaded in a while, and you can leave immediately." After he finished speaking, he looked at the Crusaders who came with him, "Yes, little brother?" ”

"Yes." As the captain of the Girl Scout Du Baiqing is not timid, this boy Scout is timid, he only looked up at Du Yuming, and then nodded.

Avoiding these people around him, Peng Bisheng helped Du Yuming and whispered: "The situation is not good!" ”

"Hmm!" Du Yuming's eyes lowered, and he avoided everyone and walked a few steps before he said seriously: "What's the matter?" ”

"I can't hold it anymore! Before you came back, you received a call that the position of Gongjiazhai where the 36th Division was stationed had been broken through by the Japanese, and now the headquarters is plugging the leak. We'll have to get out tonight, or we'll be too late. Although Peng Bisheng's voice was low, his expression was unusually anxious. The headmaster agreed to retreat before, and then said that he would hold on for another two weeks, and now he said that he would hold on for another two weeks, and everyone knew that the soldiers below had reached their limit, and they would not be able to hold out for long, and the defense line would collapse sooner or later.

The 36th Division was Song Xilian's division, and his positions were all broken through by the Japanese, and the crisis at the front line can be imagined. Du Yuming sighed and was silent. Peng Bisheng said: "Guangting, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just thinking about leaving some more seeds for the armored division." The new tank has arrived, and the brothers are thinking about driving the new tank to fight the Japanese, and we can't ......"

"I understand, I understand." Du Yuming nodded, he didn't want to go to Hunan earlier to see the new tank, but there was no order from above. "Hurry up and load the car, and withdraw as soon as the car is loaded."

The tanks of the armored regiment are gone, but the few movable ones can still be buried in the mound as fixed batteries. Peng Bisheng was worried that if an order came from the front line, the troops would be pulled up to fight. Before Du Yuming arrived, he had already dismantled the telephone line, and he was tired and tired of the battle in the past three months, so he thought about leaving this place early, sleeping for three days, then eating for three days, and finally returning with a new tank.

As the gunfire from the north intensified, everything that could be pulled was loaded onto the truck. Du Yuming looked at the empty room and was stunned, and only walked to the house when Hou Teng said that the queue outside had been completed. The remaining more than three hundred people of the armored regiment all stood in the courtyard, and everyone looked at him.

"Stand up, take a break!" Du Yuming habitually shouted the password. "Guys, we're going to evacuate here today. But just now, I heard that the defense line of the 36th Division was broken through by the Japanese, and the other troops are now blocking the gap, it is daytime, there are Japanese planes overhead, and Japanese shells are around, and the brothers can only rely on their flesh and blood to desperately regain their positions, block the Japanese attack, and buy one more day for holding Shanghai.

The people who go to fill the gaps are well-known men, and I want to go too. But the order from above and something else put me at ease and made me understand why we were going to move in when our allies were trying to fill in the gaps. Why do we turn in? Is it really just a thin military order?! No, not at all.

When I was in Germany, an elder brother once told me, what is an armored division? He said that the Panzer Division is the spear of the army, the modern hoplite, and the scythe of death. It is maneuverable, ferocious, cunning, and on the right terrain, it can crush any enemy in its face, stabbing into the rear of the enemy like a spear. It can paralyze all enemy resistance by striking at important nodes of the enemy's army, and it can also penetrate deep behind enemy lines to occupy key passes, and then cooperate with the infantry and infantry to encircle and annihilate all the enemies in the encirclement. If artillery is the god of war, then armor is the spirit of war. All enemies curse the Panzers, and all allies praise the Panzers. This is who we are.

Yes, the armored regiment is gone, and the brothers and sisters who get along day and night are martyred, but the armored regiment is still there, and the armored regiment is not only there, but it will also become an armored division and an armored army. Why did we move in? We turned in to forge the spear of the army, we turned in to train the heavy cavalry, we turned in to sharpen the scythe of death, we turned in to better attack in the future, and we will come back again after all......"

Du Yuming is not a person who is good at words, but when he thinks of those siblings who died in Shanghai, he can't help but say this. Accompanied by his words, almost everyone had tears, and several regimental documents couldn't help choking.

"It's all there!" Du Yuming, who didn't want the scene to be too sad, snorted, "Take off your hat!" Bow - Bow! ”

Du Yuming took off his hat and bowed to Shanghai to the east, and the officers and soldiers of the armored regiment also took off their hats and bowed in that direction. Even the boy scouts like Du Baiqing took off their boat-shaped hats and bowed to Shanghai. Although they were only scouts, they knew from the words and deeds of the soldiers and officers, and from the increasingly fierce artillery fire on the front, that they knew that Shanghai would not have much time left.

"Bai Qing, what do you think of going with them?" Zhang Wenbin, who was very shy in the face of Du Yuming just now, ran to Du Baiqing and asked in a whisper. "Shanghai is about to be lost, and a few of us have discussed that we want to go with ****. The general said that the armored soldiers are good, so let's go to the armored soldiers. ”

"There are no instructions from the regiment...... Du Baiqing thought that Colonel Hou Teng was looking for him to transport wounded soldiers and supplies, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that he was helping the armored regiment transport tanks and guns to retreat, they had already run out, and those few movable tanks could only be hung behind the trucks. Although a few months ago, the newspaper reported that our army's armored corps attacked Huishan Wharf overnight, but Du Baiqing did not understand what the armored corps was. But the general's lecture just now made her understand what an armored division is and what an armored division can do.

"The instructions in the regiment are that if you are willing to serve with the army, then follow the army." Zhang Wenbin continued to persuade. "If we can drive, why can't we drive tanks? Isn't it good to drive a tank and fight devils? ”

"But we're not old enough, will people accept it?" The reason for driving a tank persuaded Du Baiqing that if the tank was a heavy cavalry, then she wanted to become a heavy knight.

"Isn't it okay to lie about how old you are?" Zhang Wenbin continued to speak, but his attention was suddenly drawn to the armored regiment - they were singing:

"Whether it's a storm or a snowflake,

Or is it the sun that smiles at us;

Hot days, cold nights, dust

But we enjoy it

We have that fun

Our tanks rumbled forward

With bursts of yellow sand......"

The singing voices of hundreds of men seemed dull, and the hurried literal translation of unpolished lyrics was not beautiful, but the impassioned tone of the song of the armored soldier made Zhang Wenbin yearn for it infinitely, and suddenly he was sure in his heart that he would become an armored soldier no matter what.

In just a few minutes, the song was finished. Du Yuming glanced at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Let's go!" ”

Soon, the ten Tsundap motorcycles with bodies were set up, and one by one they drove up the dirt road in the forest, followed by three Millibeard armored vehicles, followed by the armored regiment's troop carriers, then the Scouts' trucks, and finally two Millibeard armored vehicles and seven broken Zundap. When Du Yuming got into the car, he glanced at the house again, and there were many regrets and difficulties in his eyes, while most of the soldiers of the armored regiment looked ahead, with endless joy.

The motor rumbled, there were no telephones, no orders, no artillery fire, only a low and stable engine, and Du Yuming fell asleep without saying a few words when he got into the car. Outside, the sky was darkening until the night was dark. I don't know how long it took, the car suddenly stopped, and a voice called him: "Guangting ......, Guangting ......"

"What's the matter?" Du Yuming suddenly woke up, sat up straight, and touched the pistol on his waist. His bloodshot eyes saw that it was Hou Teng in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "What's going on?" He asked.

"There is a checkpoint ahead, don't let us pass." Hou Teng said, he said that Peng Bisheng was also here, and his voice was even more urgent: "It is said that the front line has collapsed, and the headquarters has ordered all departments not to retreat a step, otherwise there will be no mercy!" Guangting, they don't even look at our passes, you call Chief Gu immediately, and it's best to call the principal......"

"Where is this?" Du Yuming was stunned for a moment, in the dark night to avoid the bombing of the Japanese planes, the convoy did not turn on the lights at all, and he couldn't figure out where it was.

"It's already in Qingpu." Peng Bisheng said. "People who don't know where they came from don't even look at our orders, and they insist that no one can take a step back."

"I'll take a look!" Du Yuming had to get out of the car, but he was not as anxious as Peng Bisheng, the front line was defeated, and it was only the front line that collapsed, and the devil could still reach Qingpu? Moreover, Qingpu used to be Kunshan, and Kunshan is not far from Suzhou, where the convoy can go to Nanjing's train, and then go west along the Yangtze River to Hunan.

"I'm Major General Du Yuming, the commander of the armored regiment, what's going on?" It was pitch black outside, and only Starlight could see the checkpoint in front of the road, and the fortifications made of sacks on the side of the checkpoint, it seemed that this was not a temporary level, it should have been there before.

Du Yuming reported to his home, and a figure in the dark saluted him, and said: "I'm sorry General Du, the subordinate has received an order, and no one can take a step back." ”

"Whose order?!" Du Yuming was a little unhappy, not because he was unhappy that the other party didn't give him face, but because he was unhappy that the other party didn't read the order. "My transfer order was personally issued by the Standing Chairman, why don't you read it? All the tanks of our regiment have been exhausted, and now they are retreating and repairing, which is an order of the Supreme Command. Call me at once, and ask the person who gave you the order to see if he wants to keep me here. ”

"Sir......" The current black shadow was still about to say something, and a more mature voice sounded next to him, "I'm sorry Sir Du, can I take your orders?" ”

"Show him!" Du Yuming turned to speak to Hou Teng, not wanting another voice to sound, a person he couldn't think of.

"Brother Guangting......" Sun Yuanliang's voice came out like a ghost, startling Du Yuming.

"Why are you ......" Du Yuming said loudly, but was pulled by Sun Yuanliang, and his voice was cut off. After the checkpoint saw the order to allow him to go, and Sun Yuanliang squeezed into his armored car, he asked, "Aren't you on the front line......

"The front line collapsed, in the afternoon..., the Japanese ..., the Japanese tanks came up, and they were just like you, the soldiers followed the tanks, did not take the right path, and all came through the walls, and we were stunned all at once! I also heard..., I heard that in the afternoon the Japanese were mixed in with the headquarters in front of the enemy, Zhu Yiyi died, Chief Chen was also seriously injured, and, and...," Sun Yuanliang said here and suddenly said: "Is there water?" ”

"Give!" Du Yuming listened to these news, his heart was shocked, just now he looked at the following table, it was less than four o'clock in the morning, and he left the front line for less than ten hours, but he didn't expect the situation to collapse like this.

Sun Yuanliang drank all the pot of water, wiped his mouth, and continued: "The Japanese have landed." ”

"Logged in!" Du Yuming's heart jumped, and he asked, "Where did you land?" Zhapur? ”

"No, it's a white mouth. Now the front line is in chaos. The 88th Division was cut into two by the Japanese armored forces, and I couldn't contact the command headquarters, but when I went, I learned that there were Japanese mixed in, and a few staff officers who did not die told me that the Japanese had landed at Baimaokou, and said that they scolded Ouyang Ge for that bastard. Sun Yuanliang, who was panting in the dark, said about the battle situation, and after speaking, he grabbed Du Yuming's hand hard: "Brother Guangting, for the sake of the party and the state, you have to pull the brother!"
