Chapter 112: The Battle of Shanghai (2)
"We are the People's Revolutionary Army, and the Chinese do not fight the Chinese."
A platoon of Central Army, which was eating a large pot of stew, was flipped to the ground. They didn't react at all, and looked at the food scattered all over the ground: "That dog day, Lao Tzu finally had a full meal, and Lao Tzu worked hard with you." "Several soldiers struggled desperately.
In this battlefield, the Japanese army and the national army have been mixed together. When it comes to this kind of environment, these soldiers are actually only left with instinct, and death is no longer such a terrible thing.
Cheng Qian hurriedly ran over: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Brothers, let go, let go, just take the gun and the bullet away. ”
The warriors let go and admonished, "Don't make a sound." ”
Cheng Qian said: "Don't make a sound, don't make a sound, otherwise, I really can't run, I'll gather our soldiers here and make way for you." ”
The warrior who took him smiled and said: "I can't decide, you have to ask the commander-in-chief." ”
Zhang Chun agreed to Cheng Qian's request, and he had a good impression of Cheng Qian. However, he warned Cheng Qian that on the battlefield, the dominant power is in the hands of the soldiers, and if it is dangerous, the soldiers will not hesitate to take attack. Of course, Cheng Qian knows this. He knew that even Zhang Chun, after determining the combat target, as long as there were no major changes, the command was in the hands of the front-line commander.
Cheng Qian stayed behind to know how amazing this unit was. For wherever they passed, calm was restored, and a large number of national troops were disarmed and came out empty-handed.
A soldier ran over and told Cheng Qian. You can go to the front and get their guns, but don't make small gestures, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
Some of the soldiers who came out were too scared to do anything. Some looked at Cheng Qian excitedly.
Cheng Qian smiled bitterly and said: "I'm also a prisoner, I don't know what we can do behind this unit, I want to know where your commander is?" ”
The soldiers and some non-commissioned officers of the company and platoon level looked at each other.
Cheng Qian knew that he was afraid that there would be no more. So it's probably better to be attacked than to be on the battlefield.
Cheng Qian ordered: "All non-commissioned officers are temporarily promoted to one level, organize their troops, and withdraw from the battlefield, you have also seen it." The Japanese are finished, although it is not our victory, but we can drink celebratory wine. ”
However, at this time, many soldiers were not concerned with victory. A soldier so thin that he could see his bones said, "Sir, they took our fried noodles." ”
All the food was taken away. You must know that the soldiers of the People's Revolutionary Army have been in the mountains and forests for more than ten days, and they will not hesitate to eat their prey as food, from wolves to grasshoppers. Eat everything. So robbing the soldiers of the national army of food is nothing to them. Just collect a little loot.
Cheng Qian looked at these soldiers and didn't know what to say. Because these soldiers cannot be called soldiers. They were all peasants, forcibly brought in to serve as soldiers for food. A few of the soldiers were probably almost fifty years old, but it was the veterans who took care of the children who were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Cheng Qian didn't think there was anything in this before, because almost all armies were like this.
In recent years, the Central Army has expanded its army violently, and it is the same everywhere.
But now, he knew what an army was.
An army cannot be confused, helpless, and unkind. Drift along. This is a national crisis, and these people know that they cannot back down. Because if you retreat, you will lose your country. So they fought hard, they picked up guns and fought. But are they soldiers?
Soldiers kept coming out, and Cheng Qian's side was already full of soldiers from a division. But he didn't see much of that kind of confident, eager to fight in his eyes.
A jeep drove over with mud, and an officer with the rank of general jumped out of the car: "I'm Chen Cheng, what's going on in front." ”
However, he saw Cheng Qian surrounded by a crowd. Cheng Qian's qualifications are much older than him, the problem is that Cheng Qian is defending against the Wuhan government, so he shouldn't appear here.
Cheng Qian pointed to the already silent urban area, which was as silent as water splashed compared to the distance away.
And this silence is rapidly expanding.
"You know that the Wuhan government's army used to be called the Ghost Army, and this is it."
Cheng Qian didn't look at Chen Cheng, but at these pathetic and respectable people like himself.
"I know that your food has been robbed, but you have been robbed of food, but you will get a country and a hope. I don't know how many of you are eager to fight, but please stand to the right and we will follow and go and fight for the country. ”
Chen Cheng looked at Cheng Qian, who raised a machine gun and shot into the sky, in surprise.
――――――――――
Naoaki Matsuki, the division commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, rushed to Shanghai because the battle of Shanghai had been unresolved for a long time. After landing, the encirclement of the 19th Route Army was completed, and although it was counter-encircled by the Chinese army, he was still at ease and occupied an area larger and larger.
However, he was suddenly silenced by the gunfire from behind and rushed to the weird.
Soon, only gunfire from his own side could be heard ahead, but there was a peculiar whistling sound and violent explosion.
"Is this heavy artillery?" Matsuki asked: "Why is there heavy artillery but there is no report, what has the Air Force done?" ”
But soon, a signal soldier ran over: "Division commander, the troops behind have changed, and the warriors have suffered heavy casualties." ”
"What troops, why didn't you co-captain come to report."
"The co-captain jade is shattered. The Chinese army is very powerful, there are a lot of sharpshooters. Machine gunners, officers suffered heavy casualties, grenadier barrelmen could not find the enemy. ”
"How many are there?" Naoaki Matsuki thought it was a group of death squads.
"Many, we couldn't find the enemy there, but their grenades were very dense. There is also a direct-fire cannon, which ordinary fortifications cannot stop. ”
"Go to the front line and see."
There was still an essential difference between the Japanese army and the national army, and after receiving a sudden blow, the Japanese army did not panic.
"Spread out, spread out, don't gather together, the enemy's grenades are powerful."
A large sa was driving away the soldiers.
A peculiar whistling sound sounded, and the Japanese army was already lying on the ground.
The rocket was fired through the courtyard wall, revealing a large hole in the courtyard wall. The Japanese soldiers who were hit by flying bricks did not forget to roll over, but a few soldiers were still hit, and the power of the bullet was so great that it directly opened a hole in the body. After passing through the body, it can also break the pillars of the shed used for trading on the roadside.
"Shoot back, fight back, don't let them rush in."
Osaku left a few soldiers to hold the gap and command the troops to retreat.
"Seize the commanding heights, the commanding heights. Otherwise, everyone will die. on the roof. ”
Seeing that several grenades flew to the soldiers guarding the gap, the soldiers made a tumbling motion, but it was useless, and after the explosion, the soldiers were no longer moving. There are a lot of debris after the explosion of the grenade, flying all over the sky, and what it encounters, what is a hole.
The troops are still withdrawing, because only by withdrawing to a sufficient distance will they have time to consolidate the commanding heights and suppress the enemy's offensive speed with firepower.
A squad of reinforcements came running, and they clearly did not understand what enemy was ahead.
"Spread out, spread out, hide, retreat, seize the high ground."
Osa shouted while paying attention to protecting himself.
But it was already too late, and the soldier who reacted a little later was shot straight away by the bullet.
However, the reinforcement team had a light machine gun, which Ozuo arranged for the roof of a three-story building behind.
Naoki Matsuki watched the conductor from the roof of a church, and there was no problem at all, but it just didn't play any role.
The soldiers sent to the roof were now lying motionless on the roof, blood pouring down from their bodies. As soon as the light machine gun was erected, only a few shots were fired, and it was dumb.
Standing on a high place, Matsuki Naoliang couldn't see many enemies, and some soldiers in green uniforms were covered in drapes, but they moved quickly. It's just a flash on the street or in the open. At most, it is a group of three people, and there are no people who are grouped together.
A bright light flashed in the distance, and the pine wood dodged meaningfully.
He dodged, but a staff officer was shot in the head and fell in a pool of blood.
"Ordered the troops to retreat, that Dazuo was right, occupy the church and the commanding heights, send more people, and die on top. The troops retreated, how many people could be withdrawn, and how many people could be withdrawn, and they were withdrawn to a place covered by artillery fire. Naorai Matsuki immediately ordered and left his guards in the tower of the church.
As soon as the small building was built, there was an explosion upstairs.
The roof of the tower was blown off. Several severed arms landed at the door.
Matsuki closed his eyes, and he thought about what else to do. But it really didn't.
"Retreat to the riverbank, there are our warships over there." (To be continued......)
