CHAPTER III. 5
After more than two hours of fierce competition, the main force of the Yoshino Wing under the 9th Division of the Japanese Army had captured all the Chinese defenders' positions in the southern foothills of the Purple Mountain. After the red-eyed Japanese army successfully broke through the defense line established by the defenders around the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, they received an order from Lieutenant General Hatohiko Wang, the acting commander-in-chief of the siege of Nanjing, that all Japanese soldiers entering the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum were not allowed to destroy a single grass or tree inside and outside the mausoleum, and violated military law.
In fact, this order was entrusted by Admiral Matsui Ishine, who was recuperating from illness, to Lieutenant General Asakanomiya. In fact, this was not his original intention, mainly because in the past two days, domestic military and political dignitaries have continuously sent requests, exhortations, and even threats to Matsui Ishine in his personal name, asking him to ensure that the buildings around the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum are in good condition during the command of the Nanjing Campaign, which involves the overall situation of international view.
Even so, the buildings around the mausoleum, such as the stone tablet in front of the Tibetan scripture building, the bronze tripod engraved with the four characters of "Feng'an Grand Ceremony", and the Yongmu Lu on the top of Xiaomao Mountain have been more or less destroyed by Japanese artillery shells, especially the commemorative bronze tripod, and the bullet holes are still intact until now, which is shocking.
β¦β¦
Before rushing to the front line of the Purple Mountain, Yang Longfei specially asked for a slightly sturdy military horse from the stable of the headquarters and set out on the journey. From the garrison headquarters compound to the defensive position at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain, this sturdy military horse really lived up to expectations, and it took less than 20 minutes before and after, which was completely comparable in speed, and even surpassed an active American military jeep.
Along the way, Yang Longfei's heart was not only worried and anxious about the war situation, but also full of ignorance of this war and deep disgust for senior officials. Before the battle began, Yang Longfei once regarded Tang Shengzhi, the supreme commander of the garrison headquarters, as a national hero, and believed that not only he was the only one, but almost all soldiers full of patriotism would think so in their hearts. But the facts proved that he was wrong, and this Chief Tang, who was full of "patriotism" on the surface and kept the slogan "vowing to live and die with Nanjing" on his lips all day long, turned into a soft egg in the face of the pressure of the Japanese soldiers.
When Tang Shengzhi announced to Yang Longfei that the headquarters was about to carry out the plan to evacuate north, Yang Longfei showed great disappointment and anger towards the commander in front of him. Since you have already moved the mind of retreating, you should not put on a posture of defending Nanjing before. It's good now, the cowhide blew into the sky, and the big talk ran a train, and now I remember to retreat? Isn't this a fucking conscience, a bastard, a bastard? Still shameless?
Yang Longfei was bumping on horseback while trying to recall the scene at that time, to be honest, he couldn't remember how he left Tang Shengzhi's office at that time. However, according to Yang Longfei's character who can't be suppressed by fire and can't be extinguished, he just shouldn't scold the other party in front of him, and he has to smash half of the door outside the office before leaving. What is it called? Yang Longfei asked himself indignantly: Isn't this forcing himself to be a deserter? Forget it, if you want to be a bad seed, that's your business, Lao Tzu's dictionary does not have the word "escape", even if he dies in Nanjing City today, Lao Tzu will never take half a step back!
In the face of the enemy's fierce artillery fire, he led the almost crippled team from more than six o'clock in the evening to the present, and he had lasted for more than two hours, and he had done his best. If Yang Longfei hadn't arrived at this time, Zhang Shan would really have planned to take the soldiers to fight the enemy with bayonets.
Zhang Shan said in a hoarse voice: "Tuanzuo, you can be regarded as coming, we have been fighting with the devil for two and a half hours, and I say in my heart that if you don't come again, I really want to bring the brothers to rush up and meet the devil with a bayonet......
Yang Longfei held a gun in his hand and asked while shooting at the enemy on the opposite side, "What's the matter with your throat?" β
"Don't mention it, I'm competing with the sound of guns, you used to command the battle, and you were the one who gave the order, but this time I replaced it coldly, and it became this virtue if I couldn't confiscate it."
Yang Longfei looked at Zhang Shan's embarrassed appearance and scolded with a smile: "Don't be fucking dissatisfied, Lao Tzu is cultivating you, do you understand?" Do you think you can only be a regimental adjutant for the rest of your life? In case Lao Tzu dies one day, the cadres of the whole regiment will go through the sieve, and in the end you will have to carry this big banner, don't pretend to be a bear with Lao Tzu! β
Hearing Yang Longfei's words, Zhang Shan was anxious, and he shouted with a white face: "Tuanzao, why do you choose what you don't want to say?" Even if you want to die, we will die before you, as long as I, Zhang Shan, live, you can't say this! Otherwise, I won't recognize you as an old comrade-in-arms! β
"Okay, okay, it's Lao Tzu's wrong line, right? Don't say it, don't say it, why don't you know how to tease your dog...... Alas, by the way, where did they go to the 89th Regiment Tie Haichuan? Why didn't you see the people in their group? Yang Longfei asked.
"I'm also wondering, just now the position at the southern foot was lost, and the Iron Regiment Commander went up with the people of their regiment, and I and Qian Liyuan couldn't persuade them, and they couldn't pull them back. How old is this? The hillside is full of devils, and it stands to reason that even if the formation is finished, a few people should run back, but as a result, they didn't even see the hair of their 89th regiment. Anyway, I don't think the situation is very optimistic, is it possible for the devil to swallow it in one bite? Zhang Shan looked puzzled.
Yang Longfei sighed and said, "I don't think so, this kid Tie Haichuan can be regarded as a character, what battles have you not seen in these years?" If you can't even clean up a few devils, then don't do it! I guess it's because the formation of the unit is disrupted in the dark, or the team is breaking through and running apart. Forget it, don't talk about him, it's up to fate whether you live or die! So, you stay here first, and I'll go to the first camp and have a look. β
The position of the 1st battalion was established on a mountain col and had an absolutely condescending geographical advantage. Although Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion, is a stunned young man, his skills in building fortifications and commanding operations should not be underestimated. As early as when the Japanese army was about 500 meters away from the defenders' defensive line, Xie Dacheng decisively led the machine gun company directly under the regiment to occupy the commanding heights there, and effectively dampened the attack edge of the Japanese vanguard through intensive firepower.
"Brothers, give me the strength of a wild wolf, our 25th regiment has not had a single soft bone since the day it was founded! It's the same now, if anyone the fuck admits it, put down their weapons now and go home and pick up the child, don't embarrass my battalion! If it's not a bear, let me go and beat the bitches on the other side! Xie Dacheng shouted as he manipulated a heavy machine gun to strafe the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.
"Da Da Da ......" "Horn! Trumpet! Horn ......"
Not only the light and heavy machine guns were spewing angry tongues of fire, but even the grenadiers and mortars that had just been brought from the logistics department were also put into battle, and several crow-sized shells burst out, and after being hit by the guns and drawing several arcs in the night sky like day, they successively landed on the march route of the Japanese vanguard.
Knowing the arrival of the regiment commander Yang Longfei, Xie Dacheng's face showed irrepressible excitement, and he asked happily while pulling the trigger of the motor gun: "Tuanzao, you can be regarded as here, what is the matter with the headquarters that has been delayed for so long!" I killed a devil Nakasa with my own hands just now, and if you had come a little earlier, you might have seen it! β
Yang Longfei smiled bitterly and looked at the temporary fortifications built by the Japanese army on the opposite side through the bunker, and asked instead of answering: "How is it?" How much ammunition is left? How long will it last? β
Xie Dacheng replied indifferently: "This is not good, if you fight this guy in my hand, it is estimated that you will have to finish the game in a few minutes." I've just done a rough count, and I guess it's not a problem for a person to get five or six rounds of ammunition in his hand now...... Aren't we just waiting for those bunnies in the logistics department to find a way to get us some more? β
"Don't look forward to any logistics office, I couldn't count on them earlier, don't have illusions now, we have to rely on ourselves in the end! Hmm, only one person gets five or six rounds? How long the is this going to last? As usual, it would be nice to be able to play for another ten minutes. Damn, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to have such a day, and he was so mixed that he was not as good as his grandmother's name Hanako. The ammunition is not available, and this gun is not as practical as a burning stick! Okay, don't fight your machine gun, save some son's bullets, I am annoyed to hear it! Yang Longfei scratched his scalp with a bitter face and shouted.
Xie Dacheng stopped shooting in amusement, turned around and said half-jokingly: "Tuanzao, what's wrong with you?" Why are there so many bits and pieces today? I've never seen you so hot before, who is angry with you? β
"I'm not so angry, I just don't know how, I'm so angry at this time, I just want to scold people happily, nothing else. Don't take it to heart, kid, I'm not rushing at you, I'm rushing ...... Hey, forget it, don't mention it! I don't want to, if I think about it for a while, I guess my head will blow up......" Speaking of anger, Yang Longfei chiseled into the rock on the side with a punch.
Xie Dacheng smiled and said: "Look at what you said, Tuanzao, who are the two of us?" It's okay if you really throw fire at me. Don't you know who I Xie Dacheng is? Except for you, no one in the whole group can scold me, even if it's Lao Zhang, I will beat it correctly! β
Yang Longfei looked at Xie Dacheng with a relieved smile on his face, and smashed his fist on Xie Dacheng's chest: "You kid is poor, you will talk with your fists and feet all day long." One day, when I was free, I arranged a martial arts competition in the regiment and held a knockout match, and there were more than 3,000 people in the whole regiment, so I don't believe that I can't pick out someone who can clean up your kid......"
"Tuanza, then you have to wait. We only counted the numbers once three hours ago, and guess how many are left? Xie Dacheng made a "nine" gesture, and then said, "Less than nine hundred!" And that's not counting the soldiers of the 259th Brigade, and counting those non-combatants, like those guys, grooms, etc., who can't even hold their guns, let alone fighting, it's just a mess......"
Xie Dacheng's words with guns and sticks undoubtedly hurt the so-called "non-combatants" in his mouth, that is, the soldiers of the gang and horse gang classes. They expressed dissatisfaction with Xie Dacheng's words, grandma's, what can you do? Can you go to heaven and earth or will your parents give you a few more dares? Since they are all soldiers, then no one should look down on anyone! They all eat in a pot and sleep on a kang, so how bad are our guys in our class than you?
Wang Danian, the leader of the man's squad with an apron on his waist, took Xie Dacheng's words and asked, "Camp Commander Xie, why do you say this so ugly?" Who's causing the chaos? You mean, these non-combatants are shrunken turtles who shoot at the sound of a gunshot, right? Or are we all following your ass to get to where we are today? It's not that disgusting, is it? Since I have talked about this today, then I, Wang Danian, will show you the bottom here, and when I fight with bayonets later, the top soldiers of your battalion will not move first, let the brothers of our gang class go first, and then continue when we run out of you! I, Wang Danian, dare not guarantee that none of the remaining eight people in our gang class will withdraw from the battle alive! β
Chen Shihe, the head of the groom class, also shouted: "Count our groom class again, damn, I can be regarded as having seen it, usually people who don't talk about us are easy to use us as soft persimmons!" Tuanza, you can be a witness today, our groom class is not a dry meal, and we are fighting with the dog's day! β
Xie Dacheng scoffed at the generous statements of the two squad leaders, and he sneered at each other with a disdainful face: "Yo, what's going on here?" Usually the two of them can't kick a fart, but now they are watching the head of the regiment think about addiction here, right? Go and go, just talk about not practicing fake tricks, and let your gang and horse squad rush in front of our battalion? In a word, unless I Xie Dacheng dies, otherwise just a few pieces of your material, let me honestly follow behind our ass to pick up leaks! β
The two squad leaders were about to have a seizure, only to hear Yang Longfei yell: "Don't make any noise!" You say everything I say, and the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more you talk about it? Annoy me and pull you to the back and kill you one by one! Dacheng, can you kid change this problem in his mouth, don't offend people at every turn, and offend people who eat in a pot! I heard that when I was injured a few days ago, your kid almost fought with Qian Liyuan, the second battalion commander, isn't it okay for you kid to become the battalion commander? It's your turn to discipline this and scold that? β
"That's it, it's still the head of the regiment who speaks...... "Wang Danian, the leader of the guy's squad, got cheap and behaved, muttered.
Xie Dacheng couldn't sit still when he heard this, fuck, why did this little squad leader break the horse Zhang Fei and say so many strange things? The head of the regiment counts me a few words, even a guy with a big spoon dares to argue with Lao Tzu, wouldn't this matter make people laugh out of their big teeth if it gets out? Xie Dacheng scolded: "Wang Danian, I see that your kid was hanged by the birthday starβββ so he thinks his life is too long, right?" Looking for death? While scolding, he jumped out of the trench and was about to pounce on Wang Danian, who was three meters away from him, but was held down by Yang Longfei.
Yang Longfei looked at Wang Danian and Chen Shihe, who looked proud, and scolded: "You two also shut up for me, why are you talking so many strange things?" This is what I bumped into, and if I hadn't dragged this kid here, you two wouldn't know what they were like now...... Wang Danian, don't be unconvinced, you kid, if I really let go of my hand, I'm afraid you two should be unlucky! Xie Dacheng, this kid was stunned, I couldn't hold it when he came up, he cleaned up by himself, and you two didn't hold it in your hands? If you're really a man, don't fight me here! Let me tell you, when you fight with the devil for a while, don't care if you have a guy on you, a guillotine, a kitchen knife, a burning stick, as long as you can fight with the devil to take anything, you can just copy a flat pole and go up, it's better than setting off an empty cannon here, do you hear? β
"Yes! Tuanza, don't worry, we will never disgrace the 25th regiment! The two iron-clad men shouted in unison.
Yang Longfei turned his head and instructed Xie Dacheng: "Inform the soldiers of the whole battalion, use up all the bullets and * in their hands within one minute, and then copy the guy and prepare to fight the bayonet with the devil!" β
"Good!" Xie Dacheng nodded to show that he understood, and personally walked around the ring fortifications: "Listen to my orders, everyone will use up all the ammunition within a minute, and then put on the bayonet to prepare for white-knuckle combat...... All obey my orders, everyone will use up all their ammunition in a minute, and then put on their bayonets and prepare for white-knuckle combat......"
When Xie Dacheng finished giving the battle order and returned to his position, Yang Longfei was holding a telescope to observe the enemy situation of the Japanese army opposite. Hey? How could a horn made of white iron come out of thin air in the fortifications opposite? What kind of moth does the devil want?
