Chapter 989: Fierce street fighting
Seeing this, the devil pilots and ground staff soldiers in the airport immediately became chaotic and turned around and ran away, no matter how much their commanders reprimanded them, it was useless.
Even in the panic, they didn't even have time to destroy their combat planes and various munitions warehouses, and the devil infantry in front of them were quickly and completely defeated.
In the face of the roaring tanks, groups of black pressure pieces of dragon's tooth infantry swarmed in, and one by one they were so frightened that they turned around and ran.
As the officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth accompanied the tanks to cross the first line of defense of the Japanese army, the devil's airfield defense line completely collapsed.
In the retreat, some devil officers tried to organize a counterattack, but they were all killed on the spot and defeated by the dragon's tooth officers and soldiers who rushed bravely with dense superior firepower.
The morale of the officers and men of Longya was greatly boosted, and they quickened their pace one after another, and everyone bravely took the lead and charged ahead, but the Japanese army was defeated like a mountain, and it was impossible to organize any effective counterattack at all.
In the west and south of Tianjin, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column also engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with nearly 100,000 Japanese puppet defenders, and because of the increased pressure on the city's defense line, Okamura Ningji had to devote most of his troops to blocking the frontal attack of the Dragon's Tooth Column, so most of the Japanese troops in the city were withdrawn.
Only part of the garrison and gendarmes, as well as the puppet army traitors, remained in the city to search for and suppress the small Chinese force that attacked the naval fleet.
That is, Jiang Haidong and them, although the enemy's strength still has an absolute advantage in numbers, but for Jiang Haidong and them, it is much better.
If there were no hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city to attack and contain, they would have been calmly surrounded and suppressed by hundreds of thousands of Japanese puppet troops and traitors, and it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky if they wanted to escape.
At this moment, Jiang Haidong and Xiao Wu had been fighting with the Japanese puppet army who came to encircle and suppress them for several hours in Tianjin City, and the sky was gradually brightening, and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for them.
Because, with the cover of the night, it can be offset to a certain extent, and they are superior or inferior in numbers to the enemy.
Now that the sky is bright, the risk of their exposure has increased considerably, and the situation has become more dangerous.
In an unknown alley, Jiang Haidong, Xiao Wu and others had already taken off the military uniforms of the devils, revealing their own military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and were squatting at the base of the wall to rest.
Jiang Haidong squatted near the entrance of the alley, holding a submachine gun in his hand, closed his eyes and rested, while the second lieutenant platoon commander was in charge of guarding the alley.
Xiao Wu sorted out his submachine gun and pistol ammunition, looked back at his own number, and felt a little bitter in his heart, after a few hours of maneuvering, although this elite squad exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness, and killed at least hundreds of devils and puppet soldiers and traitors with inferior forces.
But he also paid the price of sacrificing nine people, and another eight people were injured to varying degrees, which can be described as heavy casualties.
Xiao Wu retracted his gaze and said to Jiang Haidong, who was closing his eyes and recuperating: "Chief, the little devil is very cunning and knows that we are going to retreat to the foreign concession, so the heavy troops have blocked all the roads to the concession, what should we do next?" ”
Jiang Haidong slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Xiao Wu and the surviving soldiers around him silently, and said to Xiao Wu: "You leave, we stay." ”
Xiao Wu's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "What?" I'm leaving? ”
Jiang Haidong nodded seriously and said: "That's right, you leave, you have been engaged in intelligence work in Tianjin for so long, I believe you must have a way to leave alone, and with us attracting the enemy's attention, your certainty should be greater." ”
"So what do you do? No, I must not leave you alone, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers, we have to live and die together, share honor and disgrace, advance and retreat, and die here together, but before that, we have to let the little devils taste our awesomeness.
Pay the price of blood. Xiao Wu said resolutely.
Jiang Haidong nodded approvingly and said, "Xiao Wu, I understand your feelings, but now that you leave alive, it is more valuable than staying." The Japanese army is heavily encircled, and if we want to retreat with all our bodies, it will definitely be impossible to break out of the encirclement.
Therefore, I decided to lead all the brothers in the squad to stay and fight street battles and guerrilla warfare with the little devils in Tianjin! And you have to bring back the news that we are still fighting, and by the way, bring back the last words and will of the brothers, if we do not hold out to the moment when Tianjin is recovered, it is better to have an explanation to our relatives and brothers. ”
Xiao Wu only felt as if he had a big stone blocked in his heart, depressed and sad, which made him, an iron man who rarely shed tears, unable to help but burst into tears: "Chief, I ......"
Jiang Haidong stretched out his hand to stop his words, stood up, looked around and said sharply: "Xiao Wu, now I order you, as the commander of the 1st Division of the Dragon Tooth Column of the Eighth Route Army, to leave immediately, break out alone, and bring our news back to the leaders of the headquarters." ”
Xiao Wu stood up with tears in his eyes, held his head high and said, "Yes!" Please rest assured that the task will be completed! Before the words fell, two lines of hot tears could not help but burst out of his eyes and flow down the resolute face.
Jiang Haidong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a more relaxed and soft tone: "By the way, help me bring a message to the commander, if I can't go back, brother, please forgive me for not being able to ride Tokyo with him and raise the prestige of my country!" But if there is a day in his day, please let me know! That way, no matter where I am in hell, I will feel extremely happy! ”
After hearing this, Xiao Wu was in awe, and once again stood up and saluted and promised: "Yes, don't worry, chief, I will definitely bring it!" ”
Jiang Haidong said to the soldiers around him: "If there is anything else that Comrade Xiao Wu needs to bring back, hurry up and tell him." ”
These are elite veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and they didn't have much mood swings, but they calmly handed over some last words or military medals and other small things to Xiao Wu, and then turned around and returned to the base of the wall to squat and sit down.
As a veteran, they have already seen through life and death, and now they are just leaving a thought for their relatives, after all, the security system of the Dragon's Tooth Column makes the soldiers understand that even if they sacrifice for the country and die on the battlefield, their relatives will not become helpless and lonely.
After taking the soldiers to leave their last words or relics, Jiang Haidong pulled the bolt of the submachine gun in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, all the last words have been left, then it's time to fight, and cover Comrade Xiaowu's breakthrough with me!" ”
The soldiers immediately stood up one after another with a reflex, the various weapons in their hands quickly opened the safe, pushed the bullet into the chamber, and followed Jiang Haidong with a cold face and left the alley without hesitation.
Xiao Wu looked at the backs of everyone gradually leaving, and was extremely moved in his heart, silently saluted them again, and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction with grief.
