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

Seeing that the Chinese officers and soldiers were about to run, the devils got up and chased them one after another, and the sound of messy footsteps rang out in the ruins.

"You outflank on the left!" The Devil Sergeant shouted while running, and the three armed devils quickly left the team and rushed towards the ruins on the flank, trying to outflank the fleeing attackers.

The three outflanking devils ran huffing and puffing, and the devil running in front was nimble, trying to jump over a pile of debris blocking the way like a hurdle.

But when his body just jumped forward, suddenly a burnt black wooden stick appeared across the sky and hit his stomach fiercely.

"what!"

The devil soldier who jumped forward was hit in the middle by such a blow, his body was smashed into a bow shape, and he screamed and fell heavily into the ruins.

The two devils who followed were also taken aback when they saw their companions flying upside down and falling to the ground, and they raised their guns one after another and were about to shoot.

However, from the ruins beside them, two disguised figures suddenly jumped up, throwing them to the ground suddenly, with a bang, the dust on the ground stirred up.

"Pfft!"

The devils who were thrown to the ground wanted to struggle and resist, but two gleaming bayonets had already stabbed into their stomachs forcefully, and after twisting them hard, their cursing turned into screams.

The other devil who was smashed into the ruins by the wooden stick was so dizzy that before he could react, the black muzzle of the gun pulled the trigger on him, and a blood hole appeared on his face, his head tilted, and he died.

"Hey, pick up three more." The four disgraced brothers got down and began to grope around the devil's body to collect ammunition.

"Puff!" Bullets flew over the street, and more than a dozen devils rushed over when they heard the gunshots.

"Go!" A brother picked up the devil's rifle, turned around and got into the ruins.

The other brother ran two steps away, turned around and grabbed the canvas bag on the devil, and then ran after him, "Damn it, wait for me!"

The devil's suppression of the city was not very smooth. After the artillery attack, the city was full of ruins, and the Chinese officers and soldiers hid in the ruins like ghosts, fighting with them in street fighting, making the devil miserable.

The first wave of devils who hurried into the city suffered heavy losses, and the devil soldiers of the second echelon didn't get any cheap.

Chinese officers and soldiers pretended to be dead in groups of three or four. When the devils approached, a few grenades came towards them. Sometimes a person popped out of the ditch on the side of the road, which made their nerves tense. stand up.

Gunshots continued in the ruins of Ruichang County, and from time to time, the corpses of brothers who had missed were dragged out of the ruins by the devils, but the devils suffered even greater losses.

Seeing the seriously injured officers and soldiers being carried out of the city continuously, both the commander of the Devil's 111th Brigade and the commander of the 145th Regiment Yozo Ichikawa all looked livid.

"Cannon fire coverage!"

If they continue to entangle with the Chinese officers and soldiers hiding in the ruins of the city, they may suffer even greater losses. The angry devil brigade head, Major General Shan Chiheng, called for artillery support again.

"Why have all the devils retreated?" The brothers hiding in the dark were puzzled when they saw the devils retreating to the outside of the city one after another.

Some optimistic brothers also speculated, "Could it be that the little devil was frightened by us beating him?"

"Whatever he is, our task is to delay him for two hours. If the devil retreats, we won't suffer."

Just as the brothers were relaxing in the ruins, the messengers sent by Yang Ling rushed over.

"The regimental deputy ordered everyone to evacuate." The orderly shouted as he ran along the ruins.

"It's not been two hours yet, so we're leaving now?" A brother poked his head out of a broken window and asked the orderly who was running past.

The messenger replied without replying: "The regimental deputy withdraws as soon as he is told, what a lot of nonsense."

After receiving the order, the brothers began to evacuate to the scheduled assembly point one after another, and the artillery fire of the devils followed closely behind.

Ruichang County, which had been reduced to ruins, once again became thick with smoke and flames.

"The devils have already started to move towards the west and south of the city. Now everyone evacuates quickly, or they will be dumped."

When the observation post discovered the devil's plan, Yang Ling immediately changed his mind about holding the devil in the city and prepared to retreat.

"But the brigade seat gave us an order to block the devils for two hours and cover the main force from turning in. If we retreat now, we will retreat without authorization, and we will be punished by military law." Someone said worriedly.

Qin Shou, whose head was wrapped in gauze, scolded: "I said, why are you so elm lumpy that you can't understand it? If the devil makes dumplings, you will die. Military law has a use for it."

Zhang Handuo, the disgraced head of the regiment, stood up and said: "I will bear with it if something happens, everyone evacuates quickly, life-saving is the most important thing."

The brothers who were nervous at first were all relieved when they heard the leader's words. No one wanted to die, but they would rather die on the battlefield than be shot black by their own people.

Now that they had a chance to survive, they were still unwilling to do so. They threw away their burdens one after another, and took advantage of the fact that the devils had not closed the siege of Ruichang County, they took advantage of the gap and began to break through.

Text 5Chapter 17 Brothers

The devil's bombers dropped heavy bombs one after another on Ruichang, a small town in northern Jiangxi, and cannons of various calibers also bombed indiscriminately.

The ground was trembling, and a mushroom cloud tens of meters high rose up in Ruichang City. Black smoke and flames billowed and swept across. Under such a high-intensity blow, let alone the living people, even those solid buildings were reduced to dust up.

Crowds of ghost soldiers stood outside the city looking at the rumbling and exploding city with great interest, their eyes were only filled with beast-like excitement, without the slightest pity.

Whether it was the head of the 111th Brigade or the head of the 145th Wing, looking at the Ruichang county town in the sea of ​​gunpowder, they were all very happy.

Isn't the Chinese army used to hiding in the ruins of the city and fighting with them in the streets? Then I will shell and cover you, completely blowing you up, and see where you hide.

They could imagine that under such an intensity of shelling, the Chinese officers and soldiers hiding in the city would suffer heavy losses, and they only need to clean up the mess when they enter the city.

Just as they were looking at the city that was trembling and destroyed in the artillery fire, there was a sudden burst of fierce firefighting faintly coming from the west of the city, which made the Ichikawa Yozo United's brows frown involuntarily.

"Send someone to ask, what's going on?" The captain, Ichikawa Yozo, had a vague premonition.

The two ghost cavalrymen got on their horses, put their legs under the horse's belly, and quickly galloped towards the west of the city.

Soon there was news that a Chinese army broke through from the west of the city, broke through a squadron's resistance, and fled in the direction of Dongguling.

"How many people?" Hirozo Ichikawa asked.

The returning cavalry replied: "About five or six hundred."

"Baga!" I thought that the Chinese officers and soldiers were blown into fly ash in the artillery fire, but I didn't expect them to run away. The regiment leader Hirozo Ichikawa's face turned livid.

"The cavalry squadron will attack quickly, and we must wipe out all the Chinese people!" The regiment leader Yozo Ichikawa hastily ordered the cavalry squadron leader beside him.

"Hay!"

Soon, with the sound of horseshoes, more than 100 devil cavalrymen rolled up a large cloud of smoke and chased after Yang Ling and the others.

After Yang Ling and the others broke through from the west of the city, they hurried all the way towards Dongguling, where the main force turned into, and quickly evacuated. But not long after they ran out, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes behind them.

"Tuan Zuo, Tuan Zuo, devils, devil cavalry are catching up!"

A squad leader who was running behind the team chased him out of breath and reported to the team leader Zhang Handuo.

The evacuated team was sparse, and the brothers who fought continuously were all tired and disoriented, and their legs could no longer run.

"Do you want to hit a guy and knock them back first?" Zhang Handuo, the team leader, drew out his pistol and was ready to fight.
