Sir, don't shoot, we are Chinese!

Outside Wuchang City, after a month-long truce of rest and replenishment, the 182nd Regiment of the Seventh Corps, which had once again reached full strength, once again entered the forward position that had almost annihilated its entire army according to the rotation order of each regiment, and began a new round of three-day defense.

On the one-kilometer-long position, more than 2,000 commanders and fighters of the 182nd Regiment originally thought that the three-day defense would be the same as the troops in front. However, what was unexpected was that less than a day after the unit had just changed its guard, an urgent combat order issued directly from the corps headquarters was transmitted to the ears of every commander and fighter of the 182nd Regiment, which made everyone's relaxed hearts immediately become nervous.

Of course, in these tense seven minutes, the entire 182nd Regiment still had expectant looks on the faces of many belligerent commanders and fighters. Among them, including Yan Yufa, who was promoted to battalion commander shortly after returning to the team because of the last bloody battle.

"Dog, our luck is really good, as soon as we came up, we ran into a little devil breaking through. This time, no matter what, we have to use the little devil's head to avenge the brothers who sacrificed last time, and let the little devil pay for the blood debt. The order went down, and the three infantry companies, without interruption, gave me rotation to defend the position, and each infantry company held out for three hours. Li Yuqing, your company will go up for me first, don't lose the face of our old company...." After receiving the order from the regiment headquarters, Battalion Commander Yan Yufa, who had always dreamed of going to the battlefield, immediately showed a bloodthirsty smile on the corner of his mouth, and ordered with a murderous face.

"Yes, battalion commander ...."

Li Yuqing, the commander of the first company, replied decisively. A face, also for the first time, showed a look of expectation. It's as if what he will face next is not the elite of the Japanese army, who are armed to the teeth and may ask for his name at any time, but a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

At the same time, the three towns of Wuhan, which had been quiet for a month, once again became noisy in Wuchang City, where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army was dispatched southward, and received the latest combat orders from China.

Three field divisions, 100,000 elite Kwantung Army troops, except for the troops holding the city walls, still holding their positions. The rest of the troops, under the leadership of their respective commanders, were like bloodthirsty wolves, brandishing the bayonets in their hands, rushing to every house in the city, and began to capture the Chinese civilians who might act as their shields in the process of breaking out・・・・・・

As for the Kwantung Army's southward dispatch headquarters, the entire building where the headquarters was located had been busy since the telegram of the breakout was received. A large number of headquarters staff officers and security personnel went in and out of the small headquarters, packing a large number of documents and instruments to make final preparations for the breakthrough of the meeting....

As the minutes passed, Commander Mitsu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a solemn face, looking at the chaotic streets, waiting for the arrival of Chief of Staff Ichiro Sakai.

Finally, in the anxious waiting of General Mitsu every time, the closed door of the office was opened. Quickly sat back in his place, and didn't care about any etiquette, he directly looked at the chief of staff of Ichiro Sakai who came in a hurry in front of him, and asked anxiously: "Sakai-kun, how are things going?" ”

"It's going very well, the latest statistics are out. During the five-hour arrest, our army captured more than 60,000 Chinese civilians in the city. I believe that with so many Chinese in our hands, the squadron outside the city will not dare to act rashly..." After all, in a few hours, he could safely leave Wuchang City, which had scared him for months, with these Chinese. ..., "Sixty thousand Chinese, plus less than 100,000 troops of our army, successfully broke through the defense line of the squadron, it is enough..." After listening to the report, Mitsu's nervous heart finally let go, and nodded with great satisfaction. Immediately, he ordered with a serious face to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Sakai-kun, since you've had enough of the people, let's stop. It's too much, and it's a nuisance in our hands. After all, there are still dozens of days to go. Time is pressing, I won't say more, and immediately follow our predetermined battle plan. The 169th Brigade, with 5,000 Chinese, launched the attack first, opening a breakthrough for the main forces. After the breakthrough force opened the breakthrough, the main force, with all the Chinese and enough materials and ammunition to use and consume, followed closely behind, immediately left the city and advanced in the direction of Shanghai..."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander..." Lieutenant General Sakai, who received the order, rushed out of the office with an excited face, as if he had received the sword of Shang Fang, ready to give a specific battle order.

As for the commander, General Mitsu took a deep look at the office where he had stayed for two years, followed and walked out quickly, officially embarking on his own road to break through.

After General Mitsu gave the order to break through the siege, the elite of 100,000 Japanese troops stationed in the city began to operate effectively and quickly. Looking at the streets and alleys crisscrossing the city, groups of Chinese tied together with ropes, under the threat of Japanese bayonets, although unwilling, but in the face of life and death, they still walked numbly and walked towards the city gate

As for behind them, there were still people who were sad and angry, and wanted to snatch back their relatives from the Japanese army. Under the bloody massacre of the Japanese army and the intimidation and coercion of bloody corpses on the ground, I had to watch my relatives leave, squatting on the ground and crying bitterly... ̈

Time passed slowly in this way, amid the cries of the people in the city. An hour is a flash. Nearly 10,000 heavily armed Japanese troops of the 169th Brigade, which was responsible for fighting the vanguard, including 5,000 Chinese young men who had been threatened with bayonets, had all gathered at the gate of Wuchang City, waiting for the gate to be opened......

On the position of the East China Field Army, which is only a kilometer away from the city wall of Wuchang City, although the tall city wall in front of you blocks everyone's sight, making everyone unclear about what is happening in the city. However, in Wuchang City, the deafening screams and cries of the common people still reached the ears of every commander and fighter on the battlefield very clearly.

Listening to the screams that kept coming from the city, it sounded creepy. A recruit who has just completed his training and is on the battlefield for the first time. couldn't help but ask the company commander Li Yuqing beside him, hoping that the company commander next to him could give him a comfort....

"Company commander, what the hell is going on in the city.... What are the people crying about, could it be that the little devils in the city are killing people..."

"Don't worry, the little devil will never dare to kill us Chinese. You must know that our East China Field Army also has hundreds of thousands of Japanese prisoners in its hands. The commander-in-chief also openly said that as long as Japan dares to kill one of our Chinese civilians at will, the commander-in-chief will use the heads of ten Japanese to accompany the funeral.... I believe that if you give the little devil ten guts, he won't dare to kill people openly..." Although Li Yuqing's psychology was not sure whether the little devil who was inferior to the beast was really frightened by the words of the commander-in-chief. But in the face of the recruit's frightened gaze, he still replied with a firm face.

"Alright, brothers, give it to me, keep your eyes on the city gates, report any movement immediately, and don't open fire rashly...." After speaking, Li Yuqing, who always felt a little uneasy after listening to the screams in the city, quickly ran to the battalion headquarters not far away after handing over the troops to the instructor... "Battalion commander, what's going on in the city?" Listening to the screams of the people in the city, I always felt that the little devils in the city were a little weird, as if they were brewing a huge conspiracy against us..."

Li Yuqing, as the battalion commander's confidant, did not hesitate at all, and directly addressed the battalion commander Yan Yufa and expressed his worries.

"It's not just you, all of us are a little worried about the mutation in the city... I have just contacted my superiors, and the higher authorities are trying to get in touch with the intelligence personnel in the city to see what is going on in the city. However, in my opinion, this is not something that can be contacted in a short period of time. Yan Yufa directly said the measures he had just taken.

"Battalion commander, then what are we going to do. Listening to the screams in the city, the veterans were still able to hold on, and as for the recruits・・・・・・ I had already seen the look of fear in the eyes of many recruits when I first came over. I'm worried that if this continues, it will affect the morale of our troops..." Li Yuqing thought before coming. Seeing the look of fear in the recruit's eyes, he asked with a worried face... ̈

"I can't help it, all I can do now is to wait, wait for the news from my superiors and the latest movements of the Japanese army... In this way, I will temporarily transfer the battalion headquarters guard platoon to you, you know, the more than 30 brothers in the guard platoon are all veterans of the battlefield. I believe that with the addition of these people, the morale of the troops will be boosted to a certain extent... ̈ˇ." After a short period of thought, Yan Yufa directly opened his mouth and ordered.

"Thank you, battalion commander......"

When Company Commander Li Yuqing had just returned to the position with a guard platoon composed of all veterans. A kilometer away, the gate of Wuchang City, which had been closed for a month, began to slowly open under the shocked gaze of everyone....

Just when Company Commander Li Yuqing, including all the commanders on the position, all raised their binoculars and set their eyes on the slowly opening city gate. About a small group of Japanese soldiers quickly rushed out of the city gate, clinging to the city walls. Then, centered on the city gate, it quickly dispersed. A semicircular encirclement was formed outside the city.

Just when everyone was confused about the actions of the Japanese army, the protagonist of the Japanese breakout, a group of Chinese who were connected by ropes one after another, under the threat of the little devil's bayonet, walked out of the city gate numbly like a robot, standing in the encirclement formed by a small group of Japanese soldiers... ̈

Soon, as more and more people left the city, the Japanese in charge of detention gradually changed from a small squad to a squadron, a brigade, and an infantry wing... In less than an hour, 5,000 stunned Chinese and the elite Japanese army of a field brigade all gathered at the gate of the city to make final preparations for the breakthrough of the meeting.

"Little devils of dog day, do they plan to use our Chinese people as a shield to block bullets for them..." Looking at the every move of the Japanese army outside the city, the battalion commander Yan Yufa's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked with an incredible face.

Because, he was born in the first battle, in the original Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, he saw the Japanese army use ordinary people as shields more than once to assist him in the charge. At that time, he was just a soldier to eat, and under the orders of his commander, he would shoot without hesitation.

But now he can't, as he gradually became a middle-level commander of the East China Field Army, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of this unit. And it was with an in-depth understanding that he really understood the origin of this army and the importance that this army attached to the common people.

It can be said that if the Japanese troops on the opposite side, as they imagined, used the thousands of civilians at the city gate as their own shields to break through. Then, in the face of the Japanese attack, there is only one way for him to go, that is, for the safety of thousands of people, take the initiative to retreat and let the little devils break through. Thinking of this, Yan Yufa's frowning brows deepened. …,

However, before it really happened, there was still a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that everything he had just thought was superfluous...

However, it backfired. Just when he was still frowning, watching every move of the Japanese army at the city gate. The nearly 10,000 elite Japanese troops who have been assembled have finally begun to move.....

Under the threat of bayonets exuding cold light and the shouts of the little devils, groups of ordinary people who were tied together, after being stabbed to death by the Japanese army, had to raise their legs and walk slowly towards the position where the 182nd Regiment was located in the face of death. At the same time, he kept shouting the slogans that the Japanese army had already explained.

"Sir, don't shoot, we are Chinese ... ̈"

"The little devil of the dog day is really inferior to a beast, and he actually uses the common people as a shield..." Through the binoculars, see this slowly advancing Japanese attack queue. Yan Yufa, who could almost clearly see the desperate look on his face, couldn't help but clench his fists, stared at a pair of red eyes, and scolded loudly.

For a while, the entire command headquarters and everyone's eyes were all focused on the battalion commander Yan Yufa, waiting for Yan Yufa to make a final decision.
