Ordered to retreat:

Death Order!

Even if you are reluctant, you must do it to the letter.

All the brothers of the 67th Army who remained in Songjiang knew that without the Guards battalion, the battle would become even more brutal.

However, there were no objections.

The Guards battalion had the right not to come here, but they came anyway.

That's enough.

Wang Weiyi left as many weapons and ammunition as possible for the 67th Army, which was the only thing they could do.

And Wu Keren only put forward one request:

Take away all the college students who came to Songjiang Labor Army.

These college students can't die here!

Preparations for the retreat of the Guards battalion began

The light machine guns were left behind, the heavy machine guns were left behind, and the mortars were left behind, and this was the only thing they could do for their brethren.

There were about 300 men in the army of the students, both men and women, and it would be a big problem when the Guards battalion retreated.

Mr. Wang moved several trucks and told the students to follow them away. And this force also affected the speed of their retreat.

The university students did not seem to be aware of the urgency of the situation in the road, on the contrary, they were full of curiosity about the troops that had retreated to Songjiang.

Never seen Chinese troops under the cover of tanks!

Hearing that this army had killed and wounded thousands of Japanese troops in Xiguan, the news immediately made the college students boil, and they surrounded the chariot one after another. The soldiers of the Guards battalion were surrounded one after another.

During the emergency retreat, they actually asked the soldiers to tell them the story of the fierce battle on the front line!

This is obviously exciting to Wang Weiyi!

What time is it? At this time, time equals life to get the most perfect experience!

Retreat is inevitable. Every minute you get out of here, you'll be bombarded by the enemy for a minute less on the road! Every minute you enter the designated position in the morning will increase your defensive preparation for one more minute!

A large group of students surrounded Niu Zhenliang's Vickers chariot, they had already heard of the chariot's great exploits in Xiguan.

Niu Zhenliang, who was about to set off early, was surrounded by the students and wanted them to leave, but the students didn't listen at all. Instead, he kept shouting for him to tell the "heroic story", Niu Zhenliang wanted to get angry, but he didn't want to hurt the hearts of the students. I can only do it there in a hurry and keep persuading the students.

Not only him, but also other troops that are being evacuated

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Several soldiers separated the students, and Wang Weiyi appeared with a straight face: "Niu Zhenliang." Why don't you leave? Do you have to wait for the Japanese planes to come and bomb? ”

"Report the battalion commander. "They," Niu Zhenliang pointed at the students aggrievedly

As soon as he heard that he was the heroic battalion commander of the Xiguan Defense Battle, the battalion commander Wang Weiyi, who had defeated the two Japanese brigades one after another, arrived, and the students "hula" and surrounded Wang Weiyi, and Niu Zhenliang took this opportunity to get out.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander, tell us how you fight devils!"

"Battalion commander, why do you want to retreat?"

The chaotic screams made Wang Weiyi's brows tighten more and more, and he quieted the students. Pointing to a male college student with glasses, he said, "You say it first." ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" Glasses was interested: "Battalion commander." You used the strength of a battalion to kill and wound more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and now there are so many troops in the city, why do you want to withdraw? Stay here and fight with the devil, we are willing to stay and help you. ”

"Help me? Good! ”

Wang Weiyi smiled, suddenly took out a pistol from his waist, and shot it at the top of the head of the glasses.

The glasses were so frightened that they sat on the ground, and the students next to them were also frightened.

"Help him up." Wang Weiyi put away the gun.

The two soldiers lifted their glasses, his face pale, his legs trembling constantly.

"Are you afraid?" Wang Weiyi asked lightly.

The glasses kept nodding, and it could be seen that he was really afraid.

"Press down an inch of the muzzle and you'll die." Wang Weiyi's tone was calm and indifferent: "This is the battlefield, no one knows if the bullets will hit you in the next second." What can you do while you're here? With a mortar or with a heavy machine gun? Or help us carry our ammunition? We don't need to, you have no battlefield experience, you will only be a burden here! Who asked you to come? What are you doing here? Embodying your courage? No, you don't! ”

He pointed to the retreating brothers: "Because of you, my troops have retreated a full hour later than originally planned!" Do you know what this hour means to the military? It means the loss of a battle victory, it means the annihilation of the whole army! Now, get all out of here! ”

The students were silent, they had never encountered such a stern officer, and after the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai, they were always treated politely by each other wherever they went.

But now they know that their arrival is actually a burden

"Sir, leave the truck to you, we can go ourselves," one of the students muttered.

"Retreat now!" Wang Weiyi still had a gloomy face: "Go, all go!" ”

The students stopped talking and left silently with their heads bowed

"Battalion commander, will it be too them?" Ouyang Yu asked in a low voice.

"I can't help it." Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly: "Actually, they are all worth more than us." ”

Ouyang Yu was stunned and didn't understand, Wang Weiyi sighed: "To fight, rely on us, and the future of the country depends on them." They did not have any military training, and on the battlefield they could not play a role. But in other places, they topped us by ten. Every time one dies here, the damage to the country is great. We can die, but they can't. Ouyang Yu, send someone to protect them. ”

"Yes."

Wang Weiyi shook his head and left here quickly

At this time, in the back of a truck, a student appeared. His pen had fallen off just now, and now he had found it. He heard all the Major's words.

"We can die, but they can't die"

The student found that tears were falling from his eyes

"Report to the military seat, the Guards battalion has completed its retreat!"

"What about those brothers of the 43rd Army?"

"They're all retreating with us!"

Wu Keren smiled reassuringly: "Brother Wang, you and I fought in Songjiang, Wu will never forget, if he meets on the battlefield one day, he will join hands with his brother to fight again, and kill the Japanese Kou again!" ”

Wang Weiyi's mouth pursed.

He knew that if it weren't for his appearance, Songjiang would only be held out for three days. After the completion of the task, the Shanghai defenders had withdrawn one after another, a large number of people, cars and horses crowded onto the road, and the Japanese army detoured troops to block the main road, and the situation was extremely chaotic. Wu Keren rejected the suggestion of his entourage to choose another path, and insisted on directing the troops to capture the enemy's position and open the road so that the crowd could pass.

Later, Wu Keren led the rest of his troops to Baihe Port at the junction of Qingpu and Kunshan, and prepared to cross the Suzhou Creek west to Kunshan from here, but the river bridge had been blown up by enemy planes. Wu Keren immediately made a decision and commanded the troops to wade across the river. At this time, enemy planes in the sky repeatedly bombed and harassed, and the Japanese ground troops searched in the vicinity in a roundabout way.

In the evening, just as the troops were about to finish crossing the river, a Japanese army suddenly attacked, and in the battle, Wu Keren was unfortunately shot and died at the age of 43. At the same time, Wu Tonggang, chief of staff of the army, was martyred.

This young lieutenant general shed his last drop of blood for the War of Resistance

But will history change because of its own appearance? Wang Weiyi didn't know what to say.

The predecessor of the 67th Army was the Northeast Army, and the loss of the Northeast made them suffer infinite humiliation, but in the first battle of Songjiang, they used their blood and lives to completely restore their dignity as a Chinese soldier!

"Commander, be careful." Wang Weiyi looked at Wu Keren deeply: "At the moment of the war, the military seat must not personally take risks in every battle, the military seat is alive, the 67th Army is here, and it can continue to fight with the Japanese in the future." If the military seat is gone, the 67th Army is finished! ”

Wu Keren nodded, and then said with a smile: "Wu is a martial artist, but it coincided with the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and he went out to fight with anger, if he can repay the country with death, it is also a military pleasure!" If I die, the 67th Army will still be there! If I were, the revolutionary soldiers are still there! If I were, the soul of my Chinese soldier is still there! ”

Wang Weiyi knew that he couldn't say anything anymore, and he saluted Wu Keren with a standard military salute: "Military seat, take care!" ”

"Take care, brother!"

Wang Weiyi turned around and strode out of here.

Wu Keren kept watching until Wang Weiyi's back disappeared from his sight. Only then did he sigh: "What a good army, this time apart, I don't know if I can see Lu Dao again." ”

Wang Gongma, Songjiang Administrative Inspector and Security Commander, said: "Military seats, why did you transfer them away? And it was also an order from Commander-in-Chief Huang himself? ”

"Brother Gongma." Wu Keren sighed: "Although he is only a major battalion commander, he is the guard of the 19th Army Headquarters, they are the Central Army, and they are descendants." We are different, we are the Northeast Army, and we can be abandoned anytime and anywhere. When they die, the top will be distressed, and we will all die here, and the top will not shed a single tear for us. ”

Wang Gongma's face was gloomy: "There are so many brothers who have died in the battle on the outer line, although Camp Commander Wang has left us weapons and ammunition, but it won't take much time, can this Songjiang still be defended?" ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Wu Keren's answer was not discussed at all: "Even if all of them die here, they must hold out until the 15th!" ”

"Yes, even if all of them die here, they will resolutely hold on until the 15th!" (To be continued.) )
