Chapter 407: Buried on the spot
The division commander sat on the chair without saying a word, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and finally snatched the division commander down, if he waited for dawn tomorrow, it is estimated that the East Fort would have fallen into the hands of the devil, and it would not be so easy to rob the division commander by then.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a scream in his head, Han Fei's face changed greatly, and he shouted to Li Dagang and them: "The cannonball is coming, quickly protect the division!" ”
A few shells fell on the river around the gunboat, blowing up a large column of water that rushed straight into the sky, and the huge waves of air waves rushed towards the gunboat, shaking the gunboat violently, fortunately, after these shells exploded, there were no other shells to smash, Han Fei hurriedly ordered the brothers who drove the boat to speed up and sail towards the north shore quickly.
There are only a few dozen brothers left in the independent division who stick to the fort at the moment, because there are too many brothers killed and the number of gunboats is small, Han Fei told Haizi to take away the remains of these dead brothers, but the devil seems to have discovered the movement on the side of the East Fort, and began to bombard the river beach near the fort with artillery fire, bursts of explosions sounded one after another, and the fire and smoke covered the whole side of the river beach wharf, and Haizi, who received the brothers on the fort, decided on the spot, The bodies of these fallen brothers were buried on the spot, and dozens of surviving brothers were taken on gunboats and evacuated to Taixing, Jiangbei.
The brothers on the fort desperately dug a pit in the light of the fire caused by the devil's shells, put the brothers who died in battle, filled it with soil, took off their hats and mourned for a minute, and then followed Haizi and them to board the gunboat and retreat towards Taixing, Jiangbei.
After boarding the gunboat, there was a sudden violent explosion in the east battery, and the bomb that Haizi and they had planted in the ammunition depot over there exploded, and they couldn't leave anything for the devils, so they blew up all the things that couldn't be taken away from the battery!
At this moment, the captain of the devil wing besieging the Jiangyin Fort felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered his devils to attack the East Fort, and the devils who naturally did not encounter any resistance quickly rushed to the East Fort, but they found that there was no one here for a long time, and all the artillery and ammunition on the fort were all blown up, the flames were soaring, and the smoke was billowing out.
The captain of the devil's wing found that the Chinese troops on the fort had withdrawn, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed, it was he who suggested postponing the attack at night, so that these Chinese soldiers on the fort could slip away under his nose, and what he finally got was a battery with nothing, not only all the weapons on it were destroyed, but even the docks and warehouses below were all blown up, and there were intermittent explosions in several places, and many of the subordinates who had gone to search were killed there.
The captain of the devil wing was naturally unwilling to do this, and ordered his devil artillery to bombard the river, and ordered his devil infantry to dig three feet into the ground to search for the Chinese soldiers who might still be left.
The devil soldiers dug up for a while, and dug up the bodies of the brothers of the independent division who had just been buried in it, and the commander of the devil wing wanted to burn the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers of these independent divisions, and was persuaded by a devil staff officer next to him: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, don't do such a thing, these people are already dead, and burning their corpses can only provoke more and stronger resistance from the people of China, and it will not be beneficial for us to annex the entire China, I suggest that the corpses of these China troops be put back and a monument will be erected on them to pay respects, This effect is far better than burning the corpses, these soldiers of the Chinese army died here, although they are enemy soldiers, but as soldiers, they still deserve our respect. ”
The captain of the devil wing is right to think about it, what is the use of being angry at these dead people? He agreed to the suggestion of the chief of staff of the devils, and asked his little devils to put the corpses back again, and wait for tomorrow dawn to find a few local Sino-Japanese goodwill elements, and let them bring the nearby Chinese people to see how the imperial army of the Great Japanese Empire treated these soldiers of the Chinese army who died in battle, and at the same time let those Chinese people see that this is the fate of daring to confront the imperial army.
Han Fei and they returned to Taixing, Jiangbei when it was almost dawn, this night on the Yangtze River back and forth several times, brave the devil's artillery fire and finally the division commander and the remaining independent division brothers on the fort to the next, when the last gunboat docked here in Xingang, Han Fei's heart hanging in his throat was put down, although the devils on the river will soon cross the river to attack, but at least there is this Yangtze River natural danger barrier, can breathe for a while.
The next morning, before Han Fei woke up, he was immediately woken up by Zhao Yongfu who ran in, Zhao Yongfu looked anxious and shouted at Han Fei: "You go to the riverside and take a look, what are the devils doing on the fort?" ”
Han Fei hurriedly brought the binoculars over, standing in the watchtower on the edge of the Xingang River beach, he used the telescope to look at the riverbank, and found that hundreds of devils lined up there as if they were doing something, suddenly, he found a burst of gunfire and smoke coming out of the fort, the sound must not be heard at such a distance, but the gunfire and smoke fired by the weapon can still be seen, judging from these things, these devils are firing at the sky, what do they want to do on the fort that has become a ruin?
"Call Haizi right away and let him see what's going on?" Han Fei had already vaguely felt the strange movements of those devils in his heart, but he was still not sure, so he asked Haizi, who handled the remains of his fallen brothers last night, to call him and ask him if he knew soon?
Haizi hurriedly came over, climbed up the watchtower and looked over there, and understood what was going on: "Chief Han, that location is exactly where we buried our fallen brothers last night, and the devils are shooting in the sky, are they firing guns to salute these brothers who died in battle?" ”
"Ah, impossible? Would a little devil have such a bearing? "Han Fei doesn't believe it, if this is the case, then these little devils are much more difficult to deal with than those who only know how to kill, if this trick is seen by the local people, then there must be ideas, this method is more powerful, and it is more harmful to our anti-Japanese resistance, and those villagers who don't know the truth are estimated to be deceived.
"Hey, it's all my fault, if I had fought hard last night and brought back the remains of these brothers, there would have been no such thing." Haizi repented.
