Mutaguchi Ren, who was riding on a horse and wielding a saber, was also turned on his back in an instant, and he was shot three times.

Several guards around Renya Mutaguchi were stunned together. They were dumbfounded to see: the lower half of the captain's face was as pulpy as red mud. His teeth were shattered by a bullet, and his teeth and flesh flew all over the place. The upper tooth socket and the upper half of his mouth were bloody exposed to the air. His tongue was drooping like a red tie, his right shoulder was pierced by a bullet, and his abdomen was also injured. A bullet made a cloud of blood, and at the same time his steed was shot.

At the moment just now, multiple national army snipers also fired at Renya Mutaguchi, and there were even fifth and sixth...snipers, but only three of them managed to hit Renya Mutaguchi himself, and one He missed the auxiliary vehicle and hit Mutaguchi Renya's horse.

The horse whose neck was bleeding like a fountain dragged Mutaguchi, who was dripping with blood, and ran around on the battlefield, neighing and hoofing, and also dragged Mutianguchi, who was unconscious and fell on the horse's back, with his feet still hooked in the stirrups. Dragged bloody.

After the battle, eight snipers including Yu Baoliang claimed to have hit Renya Mutaguchi.

"The captain of the regiment is dead!" The Japanese soldiers who saw this scene were all horrified.

Chapter 127 Victory (1)

The Japanese army was exhausted and morale was low, and seeing or hearing the death of Renya Mutaguchi made it even more demoralizing.

Morita Toru, who took over the command of Mutaguchi Renya, ordered a truce and retreat without hesitation. Anyway, Mutaguchi Renya, the "principal culprit" who provoked the war and caused the catastrophe, had already died. Morita Nakasa had no worries and resistance. The responsibility for the defeat can be passed on to Renya Mutaguchi, who is already dead.

However, the synonym of the Japanese army's "retreat" at this time is equal to "breakthrough", because hundreds of tanks of the Chinese army have gathered on the Japanese army's two wings and flanks to form a steel Great Wall.

"Stop attacking!" Morita Nakasa roared angrily, "Retreat! Retreat!"

In fact, the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level of the Japanese army who were also feeling terrified naturally couldn't wait for this order, and stopped rushing towards Wanping City one after another, turned around and retreated.

Although retreating, and such a retreat is a retreat, the Japanese army still maintained an orderly formation, and the defeat was not defeated, and the retreat was not chaotic.

In the forward headquarters in the trench, Du Yuming hurriedly picked up the radio and called: "Jian pick! The Japanese army has retreated! Turning around to break through!"

"I know!" Jiang Weiguo had already seen a large group of Japanese soldiers running towards him like yellow muddy water, regardless of their heads.

"Stop it for me!" Although Jiang Weiguo's legs trembled again in shock, he still gave the order to fight to the death without retreating.

Du Yuming, who put down the walkie-talkie, drew out his pistol and raised it high. Sun Liren held him back: "Tuan Zuo, what are you doing?"

"Counterattack!" Du Yuming looked at Sun Liren in astonishment.

Sun Liren hesitated for a moment: "Brothers rushing out of the trenches, the casualty rate will increase greatly.

I have observed that the Japanese army currently has no more than 2000 combatable soldiers, and the ammunition is almost consumed. The two armored battalions should be able to hold on, and at most some tanks will be damaged! "

Du Yuming glared at Sun Liren: "Stop joking!" He paused, and said in a low voice, "Tanks are more important!" After speaking, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger, "Brothers! The devil is gone! Kill him!" !"

The officers and soldiers whose morale had already reached the boiling point jumped out of the trenches with enthusiasm, roaring fiercely, and chased and killed the retreating Japanese army.

Du Yuming himself got into a tank and entered the battle.

Sun Liren held up his binoculars in the trench, and he immediately saw that the retreating Japanese army did not scramble and fall into chaos, but was orderly and orderly. Although they fled and even trampled on each other, the Japanese army still maintained a high level of combat quality. Although the Japanese army who was at the front when charging and at the back when retreating at this time knew that the rear was more dangerous, they all assumed the responsibility of the rear. , Lying on the ground again, lying in the crater, launching a counterattack against the chasing national army, so as to cover the companions to retreat safely.

Without the protection of the trenches, the officers and soldiers of the national army who appeared in the open field immediately fell to the ground row after row after being splashed with blood and water from the Japanese counterattack bullets.

Although the casualties between the two sides were basically one to one in the firepower without cover, it was obviously more cost-effective for the Japanese army than being slaughtered on one side just now.

Sun Liren also saw: a Japanese soldier who was dying among the dead, when he saw the soldiers of the national army passing by him, he used his last bit of strength to pull the grenade on his body, and pulled four or five soldiers of the national army beside him to explode the fireball China and China all die together.

Resisting the pain, Sun Liren sighed softly.

In fact, the "contradiction" between Sun Liren and Du Yuming just now was based on the difference in ideology: which is more important, the lives of tanks or soldiers?In the United States, it must be the latter, but in China, the answer is very heavy.

Although human life is priceless and tanks are valuable, people are unique lives, and tanks are dead things that can be mass-produced, but for the current Chinese army, a tank is at least more valuable than a platoon of soldiers.

If dozens of lives in a platoon are gone, the pension for the entire platoon is only 1 yuan in French currency, and the cost of a No. 5000 tank is [-] U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to [-] yuan in French currency. Money is hard to buy, and human life... the most "cheapest" thing in China is human life.

"Organize a stand-up team!" Seeing that the army's retreat path was blocked by the national army tanks waiting in full battle, and the soldiers who rushed forward fell in groups in the firepower net of tanks and machine guns, Morita Nakasaki issued this red-eyed message from Japan and Russia. Since the end of the war there have been no further orders issued.

The so-called "Stand Up Squad" in the mouth of the Japanese army is the Death Squad, which is the Human Bomb, or "Meat Bomb" for short.

Since the Japanese army barely entered the range of 100 meters in the attack on Wanping City just now, there was no hand-to-hand combat between the officers and soldiers of the two sides, and 100 meters was also beyond the throwing distance of the grenade, so the Japanese army still has a lot of grenades right now.

Following Morita Nakazuo's order, hundreds of lightly wounded Japanese soldiers were organized into a standing team, "reusing waste and making use of residual heat", holding grenades in their arms, and rushing frantically to the national army tanks on the road ahead out of desperation.

"Fuck!" Seeing a large group of Japanese soldiers rushing hysterically and menacingly like ghosts released from hell, Jiang Weiguo was startled at first, and then immediately understood what was going on.

Obviously, the Japanese army was desperate to jump the wall and had no skills, so the madness in their nature broke out.

"Damn it!" Jiang Weiguo picked up the walkie-talkie, "Let me rush! We are an armored force. If we are scared off by the devil infantry, it will make people laugh! Let me beat these bastards to death! Run them to death! Run them to death them!"

The national army tanks that blocked the retreat of the Japanese army fired at full power and rushed towards the Japanese army while strafing.

In the torrential rain of pear blossom-like machine gun fire, one after another Japanese soldiers were killed or exploded with grenades in their arms, and there were no bones left in the fireworks-like explosions everywhere.

In fact, when the Japanese meat bombs rushed to the national army tanks, the Japanese infantry who charged after the meat bombs also participated in the battle with all their strength, shooting and killing the machine gunners on the top of the national army tanks with precise marksmanship.

Naturally, when the machine gunner at the top is shot or has to shrink his head to dodge, the observation field of view will be greatly reduced. After all, the observation port at the front of the tank is only the size of a palm. It is beneficial to the attack of the Japanese army's meat bombs.

Jiang Weiguo saw with his own eyes that the commander of a No. [-] tank originally stretched out his upper body from the upper hatch of the tank turret to observe and command, but was suddenly shot in the head, died in battle and fell into the tank cabin. A Japanese meat bomb took the opportunity to escape from the tank. While running in a roundabout way, got under the chassis of the tank and slammed the grenade on his body. Suddenly, a ball of fire exploded under the tank. All of a sudden, they were paralyzed in place, and at the same time, the fire was burning. The armored soldiers inside must have been in danger. They were either blown to death, shocked to death, or burned to death.

"Day!" Jiang Weiguo felt very heartbroken, nine out of ten were armored soldiers, and one tenth were tanks.

"Infantry keep up!" Zhao Zhihua yelled on the walkie-talkie, "Protect the tanks! Did you fucking forget 'infantry-tank coordination'?"

The infantry in the armored battalion hurriedly followed behind the tanks of the combat group, relying on the tanks as cover, and strafed the rushing Japanese meat bombs and infantry.

Amidst the howling ghosts and howling wolves, many Japanese soldiers who were wounded and fell to the ground were crushed into meatloaf by the tanks rolling forward. Save as much as you can.

Jiang Weiguo originally planned to join the battle again, but at Sun Tao's strong request, Long Yunfeng drove the tanks to the outskirts of the battle area, so Jiang Weiguo was a complete bystander in the last hour of the battle. He saw his own tanks swarming up The soldiers and infantry were sweeping up the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield in a way of chopping melons and vegetables, sweeping the wind, and almost slaughtering.

"Enough, I'm already much braver than the original Jiang Weiguo!" Jiang Weiguo thought secretly.

Thrilling gunfire, heart-piercing screams, grief-stricken curses, scattered limbs and arms, bloody heads, battered military flags, blood-soaked iron armor and rotten sticking between the tracks. Tanks with meat and broken bones...converged into the final scene of the Battle of Wanping City.

When the sun was setting, the battle of Wanping City officially came to an end. Morita Toru, who became the supreme commander of the Japanese army on the battlefield after the death of Renya Mutaguchi, saw that there was no hope of breaking through. The army flag, and then shot himself, the first battalion commander Eguchi Shiro, the second battalion commander Ishida Hisashi, and the third battalion leader Kiyonao Ichiki also died in fierce battles.

Although some fish escaped through the encirclement and escaped, the death of the regiment leader and the burning of the regiment flag marked that the First Regiment of the Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Garrison in North China was strictly annihilated.

Under the sunset, the wild land on the north, south and south sides of Wanping City is a scene of hell. The scorched earth covered with bomb craters is as soft as glutinous rice due to the plowing of shells from both sides. The black and red colors of death and death are covered, and at the same time it is a terrifying slaughterhouse.

Although Jiang Weiguo already had "experience" and psychological preparation, he still couldn't help but bend over and spit out after climbing out of the tank to see the battlefield.

The smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air was so strong and pungent that it was suffocating. When one stepped on it, the soil sunk to the ankle deep, and it was not soft, but sticky, because of the large amount of human blood and the bombs that were blown into pieces. The soil mixed together became "bright red, wet blood mud", and several places with slightly lower terrain had turned into several "small red ponds" due to the pooling of blood and water, all kinds of grotesque, fragmented, and torn human bodies Organizations and scattered and scattered weapons and equipment are scattered all over the battlefield.

With his left eye, Jiang Weiguo saw several human heads rolling on the ground like unattended balls, and with his right eye, he saw a corpse lying on the ground that seemed to have been disemboweled by a murderous maniac, with the bloody internal organs exposed naked in the air. , and looking up, there are such horrific scenes everywhere.

Jiang Weiguo turned his head, vomited again, and retched, the more he vomited, the more nauseated he became, and the more nauseated and nauseated he became.

Jiang Weiguo's nose was full of the smell of blood, gunpowder smoke, and his own sweat, his eyes were full of dead and mutilated dead, and his ears were full of earth-shattering cheers.

After the battle, the officers and soldiers of the 918th Regiment and the 10th Artillery Regiment were standing in the sea of ​​corpses and blood and cheered loudly, venting their joy of victory in their hearts. At the same time, there was another cheer that was even more shocking. From the west of Wanping City and across the Yongding River, more than [-] people watched the "war blockbuster" for three hours, and after three hours of worrying, they finally saw their own army win. The officers and soldiers of the national army who participated in the war became even stronger.

Before the war, more than 500 ordinary people gathered on the other side of the Lugou Bridge. In fact, although the other side of the Yongding River was not a war zone, it was too close to the war zone after all. There was a great risk in watching the battle. During the battle, many people on the other side of the river were killed or injured. More than [-] people, some were killed and injured by stray bullets, and some were killed or injured by shells that flew past by mistake. However, as the war unfolded and continued fiercely, more and more ordinary people came to watch the battle. The number of "live audience" has exceeded [-].

Watching a football game on the spot makes people excited, not to mention watching the army fight on the frontline battlefield.

The cheers of the common people were overwhelming:

"We have won! The national army has won! Long live the national army!"

"All the little devils have been wiped out! So many little devils have been wiped out at once! I'm afraid it's thousands of them?"

"How many thousands, at least tens of thousands!"

"Damn! I have endured these little devils until today, and finally let them know how powerful we Chinese are!"

While the common people were cheering and cheering and preparing gifts for the soldiers, some Chinese and foreign journalists on the scene rushed back at a speed of 918 meters, preparing to rush to report this big news that absolutely shocked China and foreign countries. More reporters tried to pass through the Marco Polo Bridge. , conducted field interviews and obtained the first information, but was blocked by the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Regiment at the bridgehead: "Civilians are not allowed to cross the bridge! The battle has just ended, and there are still Japanese stragglers, and it is getting dark. The surrounding area of ​​Wanping City is very dangerous. Yes! Don't come here!"

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the 918th Regiment were racing against time to clean the battlefield. As it was getting dark, the officers and soldiers held a torch and lit a firewood bonfire in the open space on the battlefield. The walls of Wanping City were also opened. Dozens of high-power searchlights.

"Send more people to patrol and guard around Wanping City and the battlefield to prevent Japanese stragglers from making trouble or reinforcements sneaking in!" Jiang Weiguo ordered by radio as he returned from outside the city in a tank, "Brothers, remember carefully, For the ghost soldiers who fell on the battlefield, no matter if they are dead or still breathing, give me a bayonet! Whoever shows kindness to the devils, just wait for the devils to drag you to death! Also, there are devils Raise your hands and surrender, and keep your eyes open to prevent him from hiding a grenade in his hand and preparing to drag you to death!" Jiang Weiguo emphasized, after all, the stubbornness of the Japanese is well known.

In addition, although there were a lot of reporters on the other side of the Yongding River at this time, it was already dark and the light was dim, making up the knife would not be found. .

Although Jiang Weiguo knew about the "Geneva Convention", in his mind that thing was no different from toilet paper.

"The bodies of our own brothers must be properly carried into Wanping City. As for the corpses of the devils, they should be left where they are for the time being!" Jiang Weiguo added. Although it is midsummer now, the corpses will not rot overnight, and the corpses will be cleaned up at night. It is more troublesome, and it will be used to take pictures during the day tomorrow.

After returning to Wanping City, Jiang Weiguo hurried to the regiment headquarters.

The city was busy. Dozens of bonfires, hundreds of torches, and the same number of headlights and searchlights made Wanping city brightly lit. Although the city was basically not affected by the flames of war, only a few shells fell in, but the city also smelled bloody. Abnormally, the medical soldiers and helping soldiers came and went between Shunzhi Gate and Yongchang Gate in an endless stream, bringing in one by one wounded soldiers on stretchers, dripping blood and splashing all the way, and the wounded soldiers moaned and moaned in pain It sounded very harsh to Jiang Weiguo, and he tried his best not to look at it. Cars returning with full loads entered the city with the wounded soldiers. The cars were full of trophies collected from the battlefield, Japanese helmets, rifles, machine guns Wait, there are samurai swords and sun flags, and the car soldiers driving are all happy. At the same time, a large number of officers and soldiers are busy among the dead outside.

Seeing the silent Japanese soldiers lying on the ground (either dead, seriously injured, or unconscious), the officers and soldiers immediately added a bayonet (do not shoot, shooting is a waste of bullets, and it is easy to alarm the Chinese and foreign reporters on the other side of the river); Seeing the Japanese soldiers who were awake and making noises, if they were seriously injured, they would add a bayonet (using their own precious medicine to treat the injured Japanese soldiers, which in Jiang Weiguo's view is simply a brain-dead behavior), if the injuries were not serious and they raised their hands Begging to surrender, after confirming that the other party did not hide a grenade or a bayonet, the officers and soldiers will take him into custody, but they will basically not provide medical treatment. Those with first-degree disabilities will also be beaten to death.

In the regiment headquarters, the senior officers gathered together, each one of them smelled of blood, gunpowder smoke, and sweat, and their faces were covered with dust, fatigue, joy, and a faintly complex expression.

Soldiers who have participated in actual combat are "real soldiers". After this battle, Jiang Weiguo found that the temperaments of Du Yuming, Sun Liren and others were quite different from those before the war. He estimated that he might also have this change in temperament.

This is very natural. After seeing blood, people must have changed, and their spirit has been qualitatively sublimated.

"There are 38 telegrams in total!" Qi Xueqi handed a stack of papers to Jiang Weiguo with a wry smile, "Five telegrams came from the chairman of the committee, three from Mayor Qin, three from General Tong, two from General Feng, and two from General Zhang. Two from the General, and 23 more from…"

Chapter 128 Victory (2)

Jiang Weiguo drank a cup of herbal tea first, then lit a cigarette, and read these telegrams carefully.

Needless to say, the content of Chiang Kai-shek’s five telegrams was that the first one was to ask Jiang Weiguo how the situation in Wanping City was like, and the second was to ask again after seeing that Jiang Weiguo did not reply (Jiang Weiguo was already leading troops to fight at this time, how could there be any? Time to reply to Chiang Kai-shek’s telegram), the third letter continued to ask, the fourth letter continued to ask, and the fifth letter continued to ask.

In these five telegrams, Chiang Kai-shek first asked about the situation in Wanping City, and the second asked about Jiang Weiguo's own safety, and his tone of urgency and anxiety doubled with the time of the five telegrams. It is not difficult to imagine that Chiang Kai-shek was at this time I am afraid that Lushan is in a hurry. The Japanese are about to attack Wanping City and it is very likely that they will provoke the entire Sino-Japanese War. This has already made Chiang Kai-shek very anxious. The place where the Japanese army was facing the flames of war was Jiang Weiguo, whom he regarded as the jewel in his palm, and he had to feel burned inside.

As for the telegrams sent by Qin Dechun, Tong Linge and other top generals of the 29th Army, the content was almost the same. They all first asked about the development of the situation in Wanping City.

What was more gratifying to Jiang Weiguo was that the telegrams of Qin Dechun and others basically did not include words such as "restraint", "calmness" and "forbearance", but sincerely asked Jiang Weiguo if he wanted their assistance.

It is very subtle and strange that the commander of the 29th Army and "King of Hebei" Song Zheyuan did not send a telegram to Jiang Weiguo.

"Send a telegram to my father!" Jiang Weiguo ordered, "First, the battle in Wanping City is over. Our officers and soldiers unreasonably issued an ultimatum to our troops when the Japanese army was approaching the city. With no choice, I resolutely rose up and resisted. Up to this point in the battle, our troops have basically wiped out the invading enemy. The results and losses of the battle are now being counted and counted. After the statistics are completed, I will report to you by telegram; second, I am safe and sound; Third, a full-scale war between China and Japan is inevitable at this time, and the Battle of Wanping City is the first battle of the Sino-Japanese War, time is not waiting for me, please father, the government, and the national army immediately launch a general war mobilization!"

Jiang Weiguo knew very well that according to the Japanese's domineering character of "finding faults and making troubles without reason", a few Japanese in the dead zone would become the reason for the Japanese government and the Japanese army to take the opportunity to provoke and even go to war, let alone the one who was slaughtered on the battlefield in Wanping City right now. There are thousands of people in Japan, and the Sino-Japanese war will not break out unless the sun comes out to the west. Although this "Wanping City Incident" is slightly different from the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" in the original history, July 7 is still destined to be The first day of total war between China and Japan.

Things have come to this point, there is no choice, the national government, the whole of China, and all Chinese people must give up their illusions and go all out in this war that is related to the rise and fall of the Chinese nation, and even the survival of the Chinese nation.

"Call Mayor Qin and Deputy Tong again," Jiang Weiguo said again, "tell them that our department has won and basically wiped out the Japanese army that invaded Wanping City. Pingjin is the first to bear the brunt, and they are asked to immediately reorganize the army, deploy troops, and dispatch troops to prepare for a full-scale resistance to the enemy.

Oh, by the way, send a separate telegram to Song Zheyuan, telling him that our 918th Regiment and 10th Artillery Regiment will fight side by side with the 29th Army, live and die together, and swear to defend the sacred land!"

"Okay!" Qi Xueqi nodded, and then rushed to the communication room next door.

Du Yuming and Sun Liren sat in front of Jiang Weiguo and looked at Jiang Weiguo together.

Jiang Weiguo smiled and blew out a smoke ring: "What are the two officers thinking?"

Sun Liren said calmly: "I'm thinking about how to fight the next battle.

The Japanese army in Shanhaiguan is the North China Garrison Army, with a total strength of more than 10 people, so it is not difficult to deal with it. However, outside Shanhaiguan, the five divisions of the Eastern Army are at any time to reinforce the North China Garrison Army. , five divisions, [-] people, and [-] Japanese troops!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with serious eyes.
