The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Retreating is not as simple as throwing away the position and running backwards. Once the devils from the opposite position find and bite you, not only will you not be able to evacuate, but you will be in a hard fight, and the retreat is likely to be a big rout.

When the Songhu battlefield retreated, it was because of improper command that the retreating troops fell into chaos, and the devils chased after them and fought fiercely, which caused the later defeat, so Yang Ling didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Main text Chapter 241 Light up the shells!

The sky darkened, and the rising black smoke merged into the darkness, making the sky dark, and the blood-filled battlefield was like a hell without light. Occasionally, cold guns rang out, and the ghost-like screams echoed in the ears of everyone. People are creepy.

On the bombed-out position, the brothers from the guerrilla battalion and the surviving Northeast Army brothers are making final preparations for the evacuation in an orderly manner.

Major Battalion Commander Zhao Wenbin's face was so dark that he couldn't see his original appearance clearly, but his knife-like eyes were extraordinarily sharp. Holding the devil's saber with a cold light in his hand, he looked at the fragmented position and remained silent for a long time.

Most of these brothers came from the freezing Northeast, but they were going to die in this cold and humid Jiangnan. At the end of the day, they couldn't even get a broken straw mat, so they had to dig a big pit to bury them temporarily. How sad.

Although the loyal bones of soldiers are buried everywhere in Qingshan, there is no need to return the corpses wrapped in horse leather, but they are buried thousands of miles away from their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not known whether their souls can find their way home or become lonely ghosts.

"Rest in peace, rest in peace." A veteran murmured, carefully wiping the faces of each deceased, earnestly seeming to remember their appearance forever.

The corpses were carried one by one into the dug pit, and with the shovel swiping, the bloody scorched earth quickly submerged them, and the soil also buried their past and past, and finally turned into a square of dirt on the battlefield. heap.

Zhao Wenbin poured the only remaining wine in the jug in front of the new grave, paying homage to his dead brothers, and his heart was filled with sadness.

"Brothers, there are so many people on the road to Huangquan. I am not afraid. I have to continue to fight devils in the underworld." Some veterans murmured, wiping away tears while talking.

Seeing these familiar brothers fall to his side one by one, a group of people will disappear in every battle, and then there will be new faces around him. A huge sense of loneliness haunts these brothers, making them feel cold.

Looking at the crying brothers, Zhao Wenbin's hoarse voice sounded: "Come on, these dead brothers are not cowards, they died heroically, don't cry like a woman, it will make the friendly army laugh , straighten out your chest like a man, and avenge your dead brother in the future!"

Zhao Wenbin's voice was so contagious that it actually stopped the crying of the brothers and hardened their soft hearts. Some people clenched their fists fiercely, secretly thinking that they would take revenge in the future.

Old Smoker led a group of ragged people out of the darkness, saw Yang Ling beside half of the smoking wood, and walked over.

"Battalion Commander, all explosives that can be fired are buried. As long as the devils dare to chase after them, they will be blown up into dumpling stuffing." The old smoker's voice was full of excitement and ferocity. So many of them died. Brother, before we evacuate, we must drag some devils to our backs.

"Are all the brothers left to detonate in place?" Yang Ling was worried and asked every detail.

"Fatty and a few brothers stayed behind. They are all veterans we can trust. They will never retreat without the bombing of devils."

Yang Ling nodded. He trusted Fatty Tian San. With him as the platoon leader staying behind to detonate, he would definitely be able to blow up the devils alone.

While he was talking, there was a shrill whistling sound in the sky, and all kinds of artillery in the Jiangyin Fortress opened fire, and the artillery shells smashed towards Nanzha and Yunting Town.

There was a rumbling sound in the direction of the devil's position, the ground was trembling, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

The dark sky was brightly illuminated, and the magnificent stream of light shone brightly in the dark night, causing the brothers on the battlefield to stretch their necks, with excitement on their faces.

"My darling, with so many cannonballs hitting the past, I'm afraid it's going to blow up the little devil so much that his parents won't recognize him." Someone stared at the ballistic trajectory passing overhead, his face full of excitement.

"Don't say that parents don't recognize each other, I'm afraid they will be blown to ashes."

"It's what they deserve to be turned into ashes, it's better to die!"

The bright light shone on the flushed faces of the brothers, and their hearts were more excited than anyone else. They were beaten to shame by the devils before, but seeing their own artillery also show their strength, they felt extremely happy.

The artillery in the Chinese army is scarce. These front-line soldiers know that their army has artillery, but they have never seen it, because they have to change places after firing two rounds, and they are dragging and running around all day long. So there is no time to show off.

But this Jiangyin Fortress is different. The fort has a lot of artillery, but the breakout cannot be taken away. In order to avoid falling into the hands of the devils, the commander of the fortress Xu Kang ordered all the artillery shells to be shot and then blown up. Although heartbroken, But this is also a helpless move.

Seeing the brothers discussing excitedly, the faces of the two battalion commanders were not happy. The artillery for the Jiangyin Fortress was purchased from abroad at a high price. It was about to be blown up later, and I panicked.

"Brother Zhao, the retreat has already begun, and the wounded soldiers will be handed over to you, please." Yang Ling retreated from the direction of the devil's camp, which was blazing into the sky, and looked at Zhao Wenbin who was standing beside him.

Zhao Wenbin turned around and shook hands with Yang Ling: "Brother Yang, I'll wait for you on the other side of the river, be careful."

"Don't worry, we will catch up with you soon." Yang Ling forced a smile.

Zhao Wenbin retreated to Jiangyin County along the established route with lightly and seriously wounded and most of the troops, and then crossed the river from Huangtian Port, while Yang Ling took the brothers from two companies to serve as the rear mission.

The artillery of the Jiangyin Fortress did not stop for a moment, rumbled and fired continuously, the earth trembled, the devils were stunned by the ferocious firepower, and the defenders of various positions such as the 122nd Division and the 103rd Division began to break through along the established route , The intertwined gunfire made this noisy night even more noisy.

"The Chinese are going to run away!" The ferocious artillery strike and the feedback from the troops at the front made Dizhou Libing, the head of the No.13 Division, make a subconscious judgment.

"Order all the brigades and regiments to attack Jiangyin County immediately. We must wipe out the breakout Chinese army and seize the artillery of the fortress!" Dizhou Libing did not hesitate at all, and issued the general attack order. caliber artillery, he was excited.

The Third Fleet of the Navy was blocked at the Jiangyin Fortress, and it was difficult for them to move forward, and now they still need the Imperial Army to clear the way for them. Thinking of the formation of soldiers in Dizhou here, I am very happy, and I can finally stand tall in front of my old enemy. He could even imagine the angry look of the navy commander.

The frontier troops of the Devils were also driven into a hurry. Little Jiangyin and the others couldn't get it down after so many days. Seeing that the other party was about to run away, how could they let them go? They immediately swooped towards Jiangyin County like a vicious dog. past.

"Platoon leader, will this little devil stop coming?"

In the dark trench, a brother in charge of the rear looked at the silence outside the position, with a slightly irritable tone.

Yang Ling and the others had already evacuated the position more than ten minutes ago, while Fatty Tian San took a few brothers to stay behind to detonate the explosives and landmines that had been planted, but they waited and waited, but they couldn't wait for the devils to come.

Fatty Tian San poked his head out of the trench and looked out, the darkness was quiet, and he murmured in his heart, didn't the devils notice that they were evacuating, but they shouldn't, with the shrewdness of the little devils, he would definitely find out soon. But why haven't you come yet?

The originally bustling position is now deserted, and most of the brothers have evacuated. He can even hear the heartbeats of the surrounding brothers. The longer time passes, the farther they will be left behind. Thinking of the devils who may come over at any time, They couldn't wait to escape.

A brother pushed Fatty Tian San and said: "Platoon leader, why don't we retreat too, and it will be dawn when the devils come chasing us, and none of us can escape."

"But we withdrew, wouldn't these buried explosives become decorations?"

"What the hell, they all fled for their lives. They don't care about us. If we don't tell them, they don't know that we didn't detonate the explosives."

Thinking of Yang Ling's explanation before leaving, the fat man shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, isn't that a lie?"

"But if this continues, if the devil bypasses from other places, we will become dumpling stuffing, and none of us will survive."

Seeing the impatient looks of the brothers around him, Fatty Tian San comforted him and said, "I reckon the devil is coming soon, just wait and see."

Seeing the fat man's stubbornness, the brothers all sighed and cursed the fat man for being stupid, but if the fat man didn't quit, neither did they.

"I said platoon leader..." A brother looked out and was about to speak again, but the fat man suddenly made a shush gesture and said in a low voice, "The devil is here."

The brothers hiding in the dark trenches cautiously poked their heads out, their eyes stretched forward, crossed the incomplete trenches, swept across a large area buried with mines, and stayed until a few fires outside the position.

Several fires were used for lighting, and they were crackling and burning at the moment. At the edge of the darkness illuminated by the fire, there was a flash of light that disappeared. The fat man judged that it should be the reflection of the bayonet.

"Where is it?" A brother watched for a long time, but found no trace of the devil.

The fat man didn't speak, he calmed down, pulled the bolt of the gun with a bang, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aimed at the direction where the flash was found, pressed the trigger with his finger, and fired a shot.

Snapped!

The crisp gunshots broke the dead silence, and after only a few seconds, the overwhelming line of fire came towards Fatty and the others, causing the mud on the edge of the trench to fly wildly.

"My darling, the devil is really here." Someone hastily withdrew his head back into the trench, with cold sweat dripping down his back.
