Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 400 White Tiger Star
"Boom-"
The sound of mine explosions is a clarion call for attack
"Kill"
There was an earth-shattering shouting of killing from Tongwu Village and the mountains on both wings, and the officers and men of the 2nd Regiment of the New 2nd Division, who were ready to go, fought bravely to be the first and rushed towards the panicked Japanese troops from three directions.
Captain Fukuda, who was attached to the back of the team, finally controlled the frightened horses, looked at the Chinese troops who were killing from all directions, and was stimulated by the poisonous brain of the bushido spirit, he clamped his legs on the horse's back, waved the saber in his hand, and shouted to the devils on the left and right: "Kill and give, and kill the sneak attack of the Chinese soldiers"
Captain Fukuda did not realize how conspicuous he was on his horse, and frantically directed the Japanese counterattack.
"Bang-"
A crisp gunshot rang out, and Captain Fukuda looked down in disbelief at the sharp pain in his chest, only to see blood shooting out of a hole.
"Pop ......"
The saber fell from Fukuda's hand, and his trembling hand covered the hole in his heart, trying to block the blood, but before he could catch up, the whole person fell weakly from the horse.
Seeing that the Japanese commander was killed, Fan Daoquan, who was hiding in the house in the south of the village, happily patted the shoulder of the correspondent next to him, and said happily: "Xiao Lizi, you go and ask, who killed that devil Shaozuo?" Yu is beautiful, and when I turn around, I want to ask him for credit."
The correspondent took the order and left, and Fan Daoquan continued to observe the battle situation.
The Japanese were well-trained, and in the event of a sudden ambush and the death of the commander-in-chief, they did not panic, and the surviving soldiers found a place to hide and began to return fire.
Captain Kameda, the highest-ranking surviving Japanese soldier, took command, hiding behind a raised rock, calmly observing the Chinese troops approaching from the north, west, and east. Since joining the army, Kameda has never encountered such fierce and accurate firepower, could it be that he encountered the legendary new second division?
Captain Kameda looked left and right, and the situation was very bad, and the troops that had been attacked by the mines could not deploy, and were firmly suppressed by the fire of the other side in the road and the rice fields on both sides, and if decisive measures were not taken, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Kameda immediately ordered the defense to be organized on the spot, and invited the other squadron leaders to discuss countermeasures. However, as soon as the Japanese heavy machine guns and grenadiers were erected, they were bombarded by mortars, and not only that, but the junior officers and non-commissioned officers were sniped by the opponent's precision one after another, and one of the squad leaders was torn apart by two bullets from large-caliber sniper rifles.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Captain Kameda briefly discussed with the other officers and decided to concentrate all his forces to break through to the south. However, this seemingly simple task fell into passivity from the beginning, firstly, because the troops could not be concentrated under the strong firepower of the other side, and secondly, the Chinese troops who were killing from all directions were already very close and could not get out for a while.
Just when Captain Kameda was in a dilemma, the Chinese and Japanese armies were already entangled, and the powerful melee firepower of the other side made every devil feel a huge fear coming at him, and his body involuntarily stiffened and trembled.
The three battalion commanders of the Second Regiment of the New Second Division, like three tigers descending from the mountain, concentrated their submachine guns and light machine guns together as the arrows of the impact.
The swift and effective attack of the second regiment was as ruthless and sharp as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and all the devil soldiers who tried to resist were immediately killed, and those devils who tried to pull the grenade were killed together. Not only that, but in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the riflemen who followed behind the opposing side shot each corpse and wounded soldier who fell to the ground.
Finally, Captain Kameda lost his guard, turned around and ran, and saw the commander fleeing, and the remaining Japanese troops fled south.
"Boom-"
The mortar shells that rained down exploded one after another around the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers who fled in front were covered by a burst of firelight, and one of the shells landed right next to Kameda, who didn't even have time to snort before he went to see his Amaterasu.
However, the blocking of the shelling did not discourage the Japanese troops from fleeing, and these devil soldiers from Wakayama in the southwest of the Kii Peninsula were very tenacious, and about a small group escaped to the south of the river and joined up with the other Japanese troops who rushed to meet them.
After interrogating the prisoners, Fan Dao knew that the Japanese troops who had taken the county seat of Xiaoshan were marching towards Puyan on the east bank of the Qiantang River, and because the Japanese army had a river fleet to communicate with the east and west, the Japanese troops on the front line of Zhuantang received strong support, and the 2nd Regiment had little hope of taking the opportunity to take Zhuantang. In this case, Fan Daoquan called the young descendants of Tongwu Village, issued them the 38 big covers that had just been captured, and entrusted them to escort the captured more than 30 devils to Liuzhen in the north.
Seeing the old man Mei Liangzhi coming out of the secret passage, Fan Daoquan respectfully bid him farewell. In view of the threat of the Japanese army, Fan Daoquan left two companies to guard Tongwu Village, and the troops spread along the line from Longxi to Taiwu Mountain.
The sun set on the mountain, and the western sky was covered with a burst of gold, Fan Daoquan waved his hand to bid farewell to Mei Liangzhi and other old men, and rushed to Hangzhou City with the second regiment.
At the same time, Wu Ming led the main force of the new Second Division to the gate outside Hangzhou.
Previously, Wu Ming had stayed in Jianqiao Town for an hour to help the Central Air Force evacuate, because the Qiantang River Bridge was cut off, the evacuation team of the Air Force directly passed around the city from Genshan Gate and Wulin Gate, and evacuated from Yuhang Automobile Road to Yuhang and Lin'an.
The crowd fled through the crowded gates, helping the old and the young, men driving carriages or wheelbarrows, women carrying parcels and holding their children, hurrying past the army marching south.
The crowd was mighty, noisy and noisy, the crying of babies, the turning of cars, and the screams and scolding of women all converged into a poignant escape song.
Wu Ming stopped with a solemn expression, and a middle-aged man not far in front of him was standing beside a gray-haired old woman, and the wheelbarrow that had broken down fell aside.
The old woman pushed her son vigorously: "You go, go quickly, the Japanese devil is coming soon, if you don't go, you have to die with me, an old guy."
The man stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears: "Mom, my son is gone, what should you do?" ”
The fleeing crowd walked past the mother and son in an endless stream, and no one bothered to care about them. The old woman's tears welled up, and she pushed the man vigorously again, but when she saw that she couldn't push, she was in a hurry, so she picked up her crutches and whipped hard, and was angry: "What are you doing with me, an old fellow who is half in the ground?" Your daughter-in-law got lost with my grandson, if you don't follow, she will not be surnamed Zhao when she remarries my grandson, do you want our old Zhao family to be the queen? ”
The man was very stubborn, and cried: "Mother, even if the child is not surnamed Zhao, it is also the root of our old Zhao family, and it will never be gone." ”
Seeing that the old woman was going to beat her son, Wu Ming sighed with emotion, the mother was kind and filial, but she encountered this troubled world. "Big brother, where are you going?" Wu Ming stepped forward and said to the middle-aged man.
Seeing Wu Ming, who was dressed in military uniform, coming to his side with several heavily armed soldiers, the middle-aged man was a little afraid, blocked the old woman behind him, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
Sun Chengyuan, who was looking around cautiously guarded, pointed at Wu Ming: "We are from the new second division, this is our division commander Wu Ming"
"Wu Ming?"
The man felt that this name was quite familiar, and he muttered twice, and suddenly a spirit, remembering the report of Phoenix Radio that he heard in the teahouse, was suddenly excited, and stretched out his finger tremblingly: "You...... You are the Wu Ming and Wu Marshal who led the troops to fight and was invincible and invincible in the radio? ”
Wu Ming is a little funny, it seems that after the propaganda of Phoenix Radio Station, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui, he is already famous, and almost everyone knows about it. Wu Ming nodded: "I am Wu Ming, in fact, it's not so magical, you see, I still have two eyes and one nose, not three heads and six arms"
Hearing Wu Ming's personal admission, the man was startled, he was overjoyed, and rushed to the old woman's side: "Mother, take a good look, God knows that we are suffering, and sent General Wu Ming to rescue us."
"What?"
The old woman didn't react for a moment.
The man had to say it again, the old woman trembled and was slightly helped up by her son, and the man pointed to Wu Ming: "Mother, this is the general Wu Ming you often talk about, the one who went down to the White Tiger Star"
"Huh?"
As soon as the old woman heard this, she wanted to kneel down, and begged with a handful of snot in her mouth: "General Wu Ming, the Japanese devils are calling, you are the White Tiger Star, you must save us ordinary people."
Wu Ming's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the old woman: "Old man, I'm not a white tiger star, I'm just an ordinary soldier, look at me, do I look like a tiger?" ”
The old woman stared at presbyopia, looked at it from head to toe, and really didn't find any difference between Wu Ming and ordinary people, and was confused for a while.
Wu Ming took the old woman's hand and comforted the mother and son, and sighed secretly in his heart, human life is like grass in troubled times, and he would really rather be a peace dog than a troubled person
Looking at the dense crowd, Wu Ming asked, "Big brother, where are you going?" Is it to go to the countryside to join relatives? ”
"We went west, most families went west, Phoenix Radio said, now there are Japanese troops in the north, south and east, only the west has a glimmer of life." The man said honestly.
"Flee west...... Then how do you go to Genshan Gate? I saw people coming from the direction of Qingchun Gate, Qingtai Gate, and Wangjiang Gate, shouldn't you take Wulin Gate and Qiantang Gate? Wu Ming was puzzled.
"Alas, since the morning of the war, I heard that Xiaoshan in the south was attacked by the Japanese army, and the neighbors were all chaotic, and they all fled with their families. But there were too many people in the city, and the Wulin Gate and Qiantang Gate to the west and north were blocked, and we walked slowly, so we chose to go out of the city gate on the east side, bypass the city and then go west. The man explained
"I see, so from morning to now, have the people of Hangzhou City been evacuated?" Wu Ming asked again.
"Alas, Hangzhou City is so big, how can it be withdrawn in a while?"
The man sighed: "At six o'clock in the morning, the Phoenix Radio Station just started today's broadcast, and issued a warning, saying that the Japanese army has landed in the south of Hangzhou, and we all believe that the Phoenix Radio Station will not deceive people, so we hurriedly packed up our belongings and went on the road in the afternoon, but when we walked to the new market, the flow of people could not walk, so we turned to the east gate as a family, and finally went out of the city, but we were separated from our daughter-in-law and children. However, before leaving, we had already agreed to meet my sister and brother-in-law's house in Huawu Village, south of Yuhang Town. ”
Wu Ming exhaled a heavy breath.
The battle situation was so chaotic, Wu Ming and the staff officers of the General Staff Office had already spent their energy on marching and fighting, where did they think about it so carefully? Let the Phoenix Radio Station issue an alarm, it must be Zhang Dongning's handiwork, and only Zhang Dongning of the new Second Division has thought it through so thoroughly.
Wu Ming asked again: "Has the provincial and municipal governments issued an alarm?" ”
The man showed a look of indignation, and said hatefully: "Two days ago, those officials and masters tried their best to let us stay at home with peace of mind, there will be no problems in Hangzhou, I didn't think that things would come to an end, but I didn't let go of a fart, where do those officials care about the life and death of our ordinary people?" ”
At this time, a large group of people had gathered around Wu Ming, they looked at the legendary characters in surprise, most of them were trembling, panicking, and even an old man knelt down for Wu Ming, begging him to eliminate all the Japanese devils, just like the Jiajing Nian Qi Marshal eliminated the Japanese Kou.
Picking up several old people one after another, Wu Ming saw that more and more people were gathering, and immediately left a pack horse for the man and his old mother, and then rushed to Hangzhou City with the guards.
