Chapter 1284 Sacrificial Flag

In the Fujun Temple in the north of Jinghai City, the figures of people are longing, and the guards and officers of the 53rd Army who are fully armed can be seen everywhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Since 8 a.m., there has been a total martial law here. With the completion of the clearance work, the two-meter-high platform erected by the 53rd Army Engineer Battalion in front of the temple overnight was also successfully completed, with the Fujun Temple as the center, the warning area was rapidly expanded to a surrounding area of one square kilometer, and no one was allowed to enter this area at will.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, reporters from major newspapers across the country stationed in North China who received An Yi's invitation rushed to Jinghai, and after identity verification and security checks, they were sent to Fujun Temple by special car.

By half-past nine, several rows of wooden benches in front of the high platform were already full of reporters.

Most of the reporters attending the meeting were acquaintances, and after greeting them warmly, they looked at the wide dams around them, and then looked at the six large pillars erected in front of the high platform, and asked in a low voice what they were used for. But no one could answer, so all kinds of discussions followed, and I looked forward to today's conference.

At 9:40 a.m., eight new regiments adapted from the 18,000 men of the original Northern Hebei Army, under the leadership of their respective commanders, took the lead in entering. The reporters couldn't help but be secretly surprised to see groups of unarmed officers and soldiers lining up behind the press area, quickly filling up the empty dam.

Following the new corps into the venue were the officers and men of the four regiments of the 53rd Army and the 40th Army, who were actually tasked with guarding and monitoring the recruits in front of them, and guarding against riots and even situations such as riots during the meeting.

At 9:55 a.m., An Yi, Shang Zhen, Wan Fulin, and Pang Bingxun, dressed in official uniforms, walked on the high platform together.

Soon, six people, including Shi Yousan and Cheng Xixian, who were tied up with all kinds of flowers, came to the high platform under the escort of twelve gendarmes in twos and twos.

There was no additional host at the conference, An Yi went straight to the loudspeaker in the center of the high platform, and directly recounted the scenes that happened before and after the Wanping Battle from July 30 to 31, focusing on the sneak attack of the Riverside Brigade on Nanyuan in Beiping, which led to the sacrifice of Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, as well as the **** of the Riverside Brigade when it was surrounded by the *** Division and the 77th Army in Wanping City.

An Yi became more and more emotional, and when he said that the *** division finally broke through Wanping City with great sacrifices, he was impassioned, but the final result was that the remnants of the riverside brigade were privately indulged by Shi You's third department, and his tone was heavy and extremely hateful. Finally, An Yi asked loudly into the microphone:

"What a serious dereliction of duty is it for a divisional unit with an establishment of 18,000 men, an artillery battalion of 36 cannons, and a complete range of light and heavy weapons to flee without a fight in the face of more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers who are exhausted, have lost a large amount of light and heavy firepower, and are about to run out of ammunition.

"What is especially suspicious is that the Japanese army, under the pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the model battalion of our *** division, strangely found a pontoon bridge built on the Yongding River during the weekday training of Shiyou Sanbu, and then miraculously escaped, is this just luck? At least I don't believe it!

"Fortunately, Skynet is restored and not leaked, after a criminal was arrested last night, after our interrogation overnight, they confessed the secret, it turned out that the thief leader Shi Yousan was actually instructed by the commander of the Japanese garrison, Kazuki Kiyoji, so he indulged the Japanese invaders...... All the truth is revealed, such a traitor, how can he comfort the innocent people who died tragically at the hands of the riverside brigade and the anti-Japanese warriors who died heroically? ”

The audience was indignant, and even the 18,000 soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army were deeply shocked in their hearts and reflected on their past experiences.

An Yi looked around the audience and asked, "Tell me, should such scum be killed?" ”

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

The officers and men of the 53rd Army and the 44th Army were the first to raise their arms and shout, and then the reporters in front couldn't help but shout loudly, and the 18,000 officers and men of the original Northern Hebei Army hesitated for a moment, and then roared, and the voice became louder and louder. At this moment, they seem to have a sense of rebirth.

An Yi turned to a gang of criminals and asked loudly, "Shi Yousan, do you plead guilty?" ”

Shi Yousan glanced at An Yi resentfully, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't admit my guilt, and I haven't openly treasoned as a traitor...... I'm just trying to preserve my strength and make my life better, is that wrong? ”

An Yi sneered, didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked the next one: "Cheng Xixian, do you confess?" ”

Cheng Xixian roared loudly: "An Yi Xiao'er, you don't have the right to judge us, we want to see Chairman Jiang, we are wronged......"

An Yi then asked the remaining four people, these four people were very simple, but they repeatedly argued that everything was instructed by Shi Yousan, and he was just carrying out the orders of his boss, and he was not guilty of death.

An Yi turned his head: "There can only be zero tolerance for traitors who seek glory and those who are ineffective in the war of resistance, otherwise the army will have no fighting spirit and the country will not be a country!" Now I pronounce the sentence: all six criminals will be sentenced to death, and they will be executed immediately! ”

Shi Yousan and Cheng Xixian shouted "wronged", and the other four generals wept bitterly, hoping to give themselves another chance to reform themselves, even if they were sent to the front line to fight *** people now.

At this time, six nephews carefully selected from the 53rd Army walked up to the high platform with bright broadswords in their hands, and Shi Yousan and the other six people were immediately escorted to the front of the stage and knelt down.

At this time, Shi Yousan and Cheng Xixian were still struggling, but these gendarmes were all big men in the Northeast, and they had a lot of strength, and their faces were red.

"Slash!"

A flash of knife light, six heads flew away from their bodies in the flicker of a magnesium lamp, fell under the high platform, and the blood arrows sprayed out from their necks shot three or four meters away, frightening many reporters who were shooting at close range. Among the six heads, only Shi Yousan's was the most hideous and terrifying, with a distorted face and wide eyes, full of unwillingness, which made people feel cold.

The huge dam was silent at first, and then there were earth-shattering cheers and warm applause.

"Actually, I don't want to kill people, and it's not a good feeling because their family will probably hate me for the rest of my life. However, I must kill people, and if we do not stop the treason and allow it to spread, then our country and our people will be in great trouble. Think about it, if a certain strategy carefully planned by our army was originally in our hands, but because of the traitor's betrayal, the enemy learned in advance, then we not only gained nothing, but we may even fall into the enemy's trap, not to mention the loss of troops, and may even lead to the collapse of the overall situation!

"There are many excuses for traitors, but the essence is the same, that is, to sacrifice the interests of the country and the nation in exchange for personal glory and wealth, there is only one word for this kind of person: kill!"

After An Yi finished speaking, he solemnly saluted the audience, and the audience once again burst into warm applause.

At this time, the six heads were already hung on the pillar, warning people of the shameful end of being traitors.

......

At one o'clock at noon, on the north line of Wuqing City, with the crisp sound of the cannonball barrel exiting and falling to the ground, the overwhelming screaming suddenly came, and after the first explosion at the head of the city, Wuqing City suddenly exploded like boiling oil dripping into the water.

The artillery unit of the 40th Division of the Fifth Army Corps, concentrating 16 heavy artillery pieces and 32 mountain guns, poured hundreds of shells on Wuqing City, and uprooted the headquarters of the 27th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, light and heavy firepower points and hidden bunkers distributed at the head of the city and various places in the city after reconnaissance by the division's special brigade in the past few days.

After withstanding five minutes of artillery fire, the Japanese artillery wing quickly removed the camouflage from its large-caliber field guns and fired back at the shelling of the 40th Division. Soon, the artillery position of the 40th Division on the front line of Wang Nangong was covered by Japanese artillery fire, and the flames soared into the sky and the smoke and dust were filled. If it weren't for the anticipation of the Japanese counterattack, the distance between the cannons would have been widened, and it was estimated that the artillery of the Anjia Army would have suffered huge losses after this wave of artillery bombardment.

Fortunately, the Japanese artillery did not last long, and there was a "buzzing" sound in the sky, and I saw more than 20 Chinese fighters flying over Wuqing City like locusts, throwing a string of bombs under the wings, and the artillery positions exposed by the Japanese army suddenly rose up with large scarlet fireballs, and under the impact of the violent air waves, the Japanese artillery blood and flesh flew sideways, the corpses and bones were gone, and more than 20 large-caliber field guns were suddenly dumbfounded.

Hearing that the enemy's artillery fire was silent again, the officers and men of the 40th Division rushed out of the underground anti-artillery holes one after another, and quickly spread the front position. The soldiers jumped out of the trench and, under the guidance of the battle flag, rushed towards Wuqing City.

Soon, the Japanese invaders, who were dodging artillery fire and aerial fighter attacks, emerged from all over the city wall, raised their rifles, set up light and heavy machine guns, and opened fire on the squadron that was pouring in like a tide under the city.

At this time, the mortars that had been prepared for a long time began to rain bombs on the Japanese firing points, and at the same time, the modified direct-fire mortars that followed the troops also exerted great power, and the hidden bunkers in the cracks of the city walls were uprooted one by one, and the enemy's painstakingly managed fortifications were soon on the verge of collapse.

The fighters of the Chinese Air Force were still hovering in the air, and as soon as the Japanese troops supporting the front in the city were assembled, the fighters and bombers rushed over, either diving and strafing, or waiting for aerial bombs, instantly crushing the Japanese ranks. At the same time, those Japanese officers and soldiers who were in the dead end of the artillery bombardment on the city wall also became the key targets of the fighters, and a bomb went down, and the city wall almost collapsed a corner, and it is conceivable what will happen to the flesh-and-blood devil soldiers. The two city walls in the west and north of Wuqing City were almost stained red with blood.

What made the Japanese army especially depressed was that the grenadiers that they had popularized to the squads and detachments could not play a role at all. As soon as the grenadiers crouched down to take their positions, the fighters in the sky couldn't wait to pounce, and the Japanese soldiers in groups of two instantly turned into fluffy corpses covered with bloody holes.

With the clearing of the firepower at the head of the city, the west and north gates of Wuqing City were successfully blasted, and the soldiers of the 40th Division rushed into the city with shouts and started a battle with the Japanese army on every street.

Although the Japanese army had excellent individual quality, it quickly collapsed when it encountered the strong melee firepower of the An Jia army, and its exquisite marksmanship and bayonet fighting skills could not be brought into play.

The remaining Japanese officers and soldiers, led by their brigade commander Okazaki Masasan Sasa, retreated in the direction of Tianjin in disarray.

The whole battle lasted an hour, and Wuqing was recovered.
