Chapter 1 Yao Changqing Camp
"Boom ......"
A deafening bang woke Yue Weihan from his slumber, followed by a violent shaking of the earth, and a huge wave of air roaring, Yue Weihan was violently swept into the air before he could open his eyes, and then tumbled and rolled out of the distance like a dead leaf, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"I ...... Grass"
Yue Weihan only had time to curse for half a sentence, and his mouth was already filled with fishy mud.
A stench mixed with the smell of mud, blood and corpses suddenly entered his nose, yes, it was the smell of blood, and there was a strong smell of corpses, Yue Weihan had been a mercenary in Chechnya, Iraq and Afghanistan for so many years, he was no stranger to this kind of smell, it was the smell of battlefield and death, and it was an absolutely tragic battlefield!
"What the fuck is going on? Yankees have discovered an underground base? ”
The huge sense of crisis completely enveloped Yue Weihan in an instant, could it be that there was internal annihilation within the Devil's Party armed forces? Otherwise, how could the American GIs have come to the door so quickly? No, the explosion just now didn't look like a Yankee burrowing bomb, but like a ...... The explosion of a heavy howitzer!
And listen to the explosion...... The caliber of the howitzer will definitely not be less than three hundred millimeters!
Damn, howitzers of caliber more than three hundred millimeters!? Yue Weihan was immediately taken aback by his judgment, and immediately sat up suddenly, his eyes that had not been able to open were also suddenly opened, and in an instant, a tragic and suffocating war scene suddenly jumped into his eyes!
As far as the eye can see, there are collapsed and charred streets, collapsed and burning houses, and corpses!
The sky was gloomy, the smoke clouds were dense, and the streamers dragged the long tail flames from the sky continuously, and then suddenly fell down not far away, and suddenly there were clusters of dazzling strong lights, and then the ground shook violently, and Yue Weihan, who had finally gotten up, was suddenly overturned to the ground again.
"Brothers, fight with the little devil who the dog said, kill!"
A hoarse but murderous roar suddenly sounded in Yue Weihan's ears.
Looking back, I saw a group of soldiers in light yellow coarse cloth uniforms rushing forward in a straggler formation.
For a while, Yue Weihan couldn't tell the difference between the north and the south, and some of the wood turned his head in a daze, only to see that there was a crossroads not far in front of him, and a three-story building of reinforced concrete was stuck at this intersection, and more than a dozen dazzling tongues of fire spat down violently from the windows on the second and third floors and the rooftop, intertwined into a tight net of fire, and the soldiers who howled and rushed forward from Yue Weihan's side suddenly fell down one by one like a cut down wild leek......
"Poof!"
A soldier just ran to Yue Weihan, his body was slammed, and then he seemed to be pushed down fiercely, and fell straight back, when Yue Weihan looked at it urgently, he saw that there was a small blood hole in the middle of his forehead, but the skull at the back of his head was completely lifted, and the fleshy brain was suddenly smeared on the ground.
"Whew...... Rumble! ”
A short, terrible scream was followed by a loud explosion.
Yue Weihan fell to the ground again, and when he got up again, he saw that there was a large pit dozens of meters square not far in front of him, and the pit was full of green smoke, and the few soldiers who had just broken into this position were gone, and only one soldier was wailing miserably on the edge of the pit with his hands on the ground, but his torso below the waist was gone.
"Poof."
Half of the charred object fell from the sky and fell heavily in front of Yue Weihan, and it was a half-amputated leg!
Yue Weihan's eyes suddenly widened, Rao had been a mercenary for more than ten years, and he was used to seeing the bloody rain, and at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked by the tragic war scene in front of him, and swallowed his saliva fiercely, Yue Weihan staggered to his feet, only to feel that his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't think with his brain for a while.
"Little devil, I say that your eighteenth generation ancestors, go and die!"
A soldier who was already covered in blood and missing an arm held a bag of explosives with only one arm, and jumped forward into the ring barricade in front of him.
"Second child, second wow! Little devil of the dog, grandpa fought with you......"
A soldier as tall as a hill was stunned, holding a machine gun and suddenly stood up from Yue Weihan's side, accompanied by the fierce notes like popping beans, the dazzling tongue of fire blew like the wind on the windows and rooftops of the buildings in front of them, and several figures immediately screamed and fell from the rooftops of the three-story building.
Unfortunately, the machine-gun roar only lasted for a few moments before it came to an abrupt end.
Two dazzling tongues of fire swept by, and the soldier's strong body first slammed, and then fell straight to the back like sawn wood, and before he fell to the ground, most of his neck had been blown off by shrapnel, and his broad chest was almost beaten into a sieve.
"Whew...... Rumble! ”
Another short and terrible scream swept through the air, and in the huge explosion, another strong wave of qi swept in, Yue Weihan was once again violently knocked to the ground, and after landing on the ground, his head was hit hard by something, and his eyes immediately turned black and he fell unconscious again.
…………
I don't know how long it took to be in this coma, but when Yue Weihan woke up again, the surrounding scene changed again.
The sky overhead was still dim, and the smell of blood and corpses in the air was still disgusting, but the huge explosion was inaudible, only the faint explosion could be heard in the distance, and then looking at the extremely tragic street battle battlefield before, it was already silent at this time.
A group of soldiers armed with bayonet rifles were carefully searching the battlefield, and when they encountered soldiers in different uniforms, whether they were dead or alive, they were bayonets, and when they encountered soldiers in the same uniforms, they carried their bodies to the side of the street and arranged them neatly, and in case of wounded soldiers, they immediately called in medical soldiers to bandage them.
Before Yue Weihan came back to his senses, the team of soldiers searched in front of him.
The officer in the lead was also wearing a light yellow coarse cloth uniform, no epaulettes, and a collar badge with gold on a red background on the neckline, and a gold bar in the middle, with a three-dimensional star on the gold bar, seeing that the rank was a second lieutenant, seeing Yue Weihan's eyes glaring at the boss, the officer immediately turned around and shouted: "Medic, Medic!" There's still a live one here, quick! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Not far away, a voice answered, and immediately a soldier trotted up to Yue Weihan.
Yue Weihan and the second lieutenant officer stared at each other, and the medical soldier had already quickly examined Yue Weihan's body, and then got up and reported to the officer: "Report to the sir, this brother is in good health and is not injured. ”
"No injuries?" The second lieutenant officer squinted at Yue Weihan's eyes, suddenly made another gesture, signaling the soldiers behind him to continue to clean up the battlefield, and then asked Yue Weihan, "What's your name?" ”
Yue Weihan was still dizzy, and he just subconsciously shook his head when he heard this.
The officer frowned and asked, "Which unit are you?" ”
Yue Weihan was speechless, still shaking his head, and the officer asked again, "Then who is your chief?" ”
Seeing that Yue Weihan was still shaking his head, a soldier next to him couldn't help but interject: "Sir, this brother shouldn't be stupid with the little devil's cannonball, right?" ”
The medical soldier who had just examined Yue Weihan's body immediately added: "Sir, this brother has been hit on the head once, and it is possible that he has forgotten some things for the time being. ”
"Really stupid?" The officer's brow tightened.
"You're fucking stupid." Yue Weihan hated others for saying he was stupid the most in his life, and he immediately turned his lips on hunger.
"Yo hey, you're not stupid." The officer didn't seem to bother to talk nonsense, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Where are your documents?" ”
"Documents? What documents? Passport? Yue Weihan suddenly frowned, the passport can't be shown casually.
"What a mess, I'm talking about your military ID!" Although Yue Weihan did not have a collar badge on his collar, the second lieutenant officer could still tell that Yue Weihan's identity should also be an officer, and he couldn't help but say at the moment, and reached out and took out a green skin softshell document from Yue Weihan's jacket pouch, and after a brief glance, his face changed slightly, and he blurted out at that time, "Captain and Company Commander of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, Yue Weihan!?" ”
"What, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, the Whampoa Military Academy?"
"The Second Regiment of the First Brigade? The troops storming the big mill the other day? ”
Several soldiers who followed behind the second lieutenant officer suddenly whispered a few words, and when they looked up at Yue Weihan again, there was more solemn respect in their eyes, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps was one of the first troops to enter the Songhu Theater to fight, especially in the big yarn factory, the teaching corps fought extremely fiercely, not to mention, although these little white faces of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps looked at the thin skin and tender meat, but all of them were quite kind.
"Yue Weihan?" Yue Weihan didn't know what they were talking about, so he frowned and asked, "Who is Yue Weihan?" ”
The officer did not answer, and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from the green soft shell, and then slowly unfolded it, and after a brief glance, he read it in a deep voice: "Graduation certificate of the Chinese Kuomintang Army Military Academy: There is a certificate issued by Yue Weihan, a student of the 10th infantry department of this school, who has passed the completion of his studies, and the principal Jiang Wenzheng, June 16, the 25th year of the Republic of China. ”
"The Chinese Kuomintang Army Military Academy? Whampoa Military Academy!? Twenty-five years of the Republic of China!? ”
Yue Weihan muttered twice, his eyes widened in an instant, and then he thought of the tragic battlefield scene before, and a terrible thought suddenly took shape in his mind, could it be ...... Crossed on your own? At that moment, Yue Weihan took a deep breath and asked the officer urgently, "Brother, what year and month is it now?" ”
The officer replied without raising his head: "August 31, the 26th year of the Republic of China." ”
"Twenty-six years of the Republic of China!?" Yue Weihan suddenly gasped again, and said in a lost voice, "Then what is this place?" ”
The officer had already carefully folded the certificate and handed it back to Yue Weihan along with the officer card, and then stood upright, saluted Yue Weihan with a standard military salute, and replied loudly: "Report to the commander, this is Baoshan County in the Third War Zone, the contemptible Cao Xinglong, the second lieutenant platoon commander of the guard platoon of the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division. ”
"Baoshan County in the Third War Zone? The 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division!? ”
When Yue Weihan heard this, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave in the cold winter, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the Heavenly Spirit Gai!
Isn't the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China 1937? Isn't the third war zone the Songhu war zone? Isn't August the time when the Battle of Songhu is in full swing? In this battle, Xiao Yueben alone dispatched nine elite divisions and two other detachments, and [***] mobilized more than 70 divisions and nearly one million troops, and the two sides fought fiercely in the Songhu area for three months, with countless casualties!
As for the 98th Division mentioned by the second lieutenant officer, as a lover of military history, Yue Weihan is no stranger to it.
Xia Zhongyu, commander of the 98th Division, was born in the first phase of Huangpu, and the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment under the jurisdiction of the division is a famous martyr's battalion in the history of the eight-year Anti-Japanese War - Yao Changqing Battalion! In the second stage of the battle of Songhu [***] from attack to defense, the battalion defended the lonely city of Baoshan and fought fiercely with the army for seven days and nights, and more than 500 people under Yao Changqing, the commander of the battalion, were martyred!
According to the records of the war, today, that is, August 31, is the day when Yao Changqing's battalion entered Baoshan County.
In another seven days, that is, on September 6, Baoshan County will fall into the hands of the Yuekou, and more than 500 people under Yao Changqing, the battalion's self-battalion commander, will all be martyred, and no one will survive!
"What for, what for? What are you doing together? ”
When Yue Weihan was stirring his heart, a hoarse but majestic voice suddenly came from behind him, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw an officer in a tweed military uniform had strode up, the officer was of medium stature, with a white complexion, and a pair of myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, which looked gentle, but his face was not very good-looking.
There are two gold bars on the collar badge of the glasses officer, and there are two gold stars on it, which is the rank of lieutenant colonel, Yue Weihan can be sure without guessing, this person must be the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander Yao Changqing of the third battalion of the 583rd Regiment, because in the [***] sequence, the company commander is generally a captain, the battalion deputy and the chief of staff are generally majors, and the battalion commander is a lieutenant colonel.
"Report to the sir, the lowly is leading the team to clean up the battlefield." Cao Xinglong immediately ran forward and saluted Yao Changqing.
Yao Changqing hummed, but stared at Yue Weihan with a cold swish, and asked, "Cao Xinglong, what's going on?" ”
Cao Xinglong said: "Report to the chief, this is Yue Weihan, the captain of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. ”
"Yue Weihan? Teaching the Corps? The look on Yao Changqing's face immediately softened, and he said to Yue Weihan, "Are you from the ninth or tenth phase of Huangpu?" I'm in the sixth phase. ”
"Uh, this ......" Yue Weihan was speechless for a while.
Yao Changqing frowned slightly when he saw this, and turned his head to look at Cao Xinglong.
Cao Xinglong hurriedly said: "Report to the chief, according to the medic, Chief Yue may have been hit in the head, so he forgot the previous thing for the time being, but he is indeed the captain and company commander of the teaching corps, and he has already seen his officer ID and graduation certificate just now, and he is a graduate of the 10th Infantry Section of Huangpu." ”
"It seems that the injury is not light, and I can't even remember who I am?" A trace of regret flashed across Yao Changqing's face, he looked up at the sky again, frowned and said, "It's almost dark this day, and the current Songhu battlefield has become a pot of porridge again, and Chief Gui's teaching team doesn't know where to transfer...... Yue Weihan! ”
Yue Weihan didn't know that Yao Changqing was calling him, so he didn't react for a while.
"Bastard, why shouldn't you answer by name, sir? As a Whampoa officer student, how can you forget even the most basic infantry rituals? Yao Changqing was immediately furious, but soon realized that Yue Weihan had amnesia, and immediately sighed, "Look at my surname, forget it, you can stay in my battalion headquarters for the time being and be my adjutant." ”
"Yes!" Yue Weihan finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly answered loudly.
In this way, Yue Weihan became Yue Weihan, an officer student of the tenth phase of Huangpu, and helplessly followed Yao Changqing into Baoshan County, although he knew that Baoshan would fall in a few days, and he also knew that Yao Changqing's battalion would be martyred, but at the moment Yue Weihan or Yue Weihan had no choice.
As a lover of military history, Yue Weihan knows very well that although most of the miscellaneous armies in the [***] sequence are loosely disciplined and rely on enthusiasm to fight, the central army like the 98th Division is well-trained and disciplined, especially those officers from Whampoa in the army, who are even stricter to themselves and their subordinates to the point of being almost perverted.
For example, just now, if Yue Weihan dared to reveal the slightest intention of cowardice and fear, Yao Changqing, who was also born in Huangpu, would definitely kill him without hesitation.
Also, as a traverser, of course Yue Weihan will not watch Yao Changqing's battalion repeat the tragedy, and finally end up with the annihilation of the whole army, although such an ending is heroic, although it can inspire the people, but it is definitely not what Yue Weihan wants, and finally crossed once, he is not willing to "martyr the country" on this, let alone Yao Ying repeats the mistakes of history.
Staying in Yao Changqing's camp was just an expedient measure, and Yue Weihan, who knew the direction of history, had already made a decision.
Of course, the top priority is to persuade Yao Changqing as much as possible, so that he should not blindly defend Baoshan, and of course the commander's orders must be resolutely implemented, but the scale of implementation must be flexible. The truth that people and land are saved and people and land must be explained to him again and again until he completely understands the spirit in it.
Just wait for the end of the Battle of Songhu, Yue Weihan will not hesitate to break away from the [***] sequence, pack up the rout along the way and then take the team north to Shanxi, and go to the Eighth Route Army.
Whether it is out of emotional considerations or practical considerations, defecting to the Eighth Route is the only choice, because Yue Weihan knows very well that the final defeat and retreat to Taiwan is an irreversible historical trend, and Yue Weihan is unwilling to follow "President Jiang" away from the island, and die overseas as a lonely ghost after a few decades.
