Chapter 402: Cover Retreat
At midnight on October 30, 1937, the 524th Battalion of the 1st Regiment was ordered to break through!
This iron army, which had been holding out in the Sihang warehouse for four days, concentrated three machine guns, extinguished the searchlights of the Japanese army, and then immediately left the Sihang warehouse in batches.
The Japanese immediately discovered their attempt to break out.
A large number of Japanese troops immediately attacked quickly, attempting to cut off the retreat route of the 1st Battalion and annihilate it before reaching the Public Concession.
Mud mouth bridge.
The machine gun of the squadron of the military commander Wu Chunming rang out in an instant.
This is the most important junction on the road of retreat.
As long as you pass through here and arrive at Yu Qiaqing Road, you can basically be safe.
The machine guns were roaring wildly.
In the dark night, strings of tongues of fire flutter in the dark night.
"Go, go, go!"
When he finally saw the 1st Battalion appear, Wu Chunming waved his hand and shouted loudly.
One by one, the soldiers crossed the mud bridge.
"Regiment commander, battalion commander Yang and the enemy have exchanged fire."
This is the news that Xie Jinyuan is most unwilling to hear.
With the sturdiness of the four-row warehouse, the price they paid was small.
But once you leave that strong fortress, you will put the soldiers in a very dangerous position in an instant.
At this time, Yang Ruifu, the battalion commander in charge of the broken post, was in such a situation.
"Withdraw, Captain Xie." Wu Chunming shouted loudly: "We are here to take over Battalion Commander Yang!" ”
"Thank you, brother, for you!"
After all, what Xie Jinyuan needs to be responsible for is a whole battalion!
"Let's go, let's go!"
"Hurry up, speed up later!"
Under the cover of the squadron of the army, a large group of soldiers quickly passed through the defense area.
And on Yu Qiaqing Road, the second military commander team has been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as he saw these Chinese soldiers, he immediately led them to evacuate in the direction of the British defense area of the new garbage bridge.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu
One of the brothers beside Wu Chunming snorted and fell to the ground.
"Take it down!" Wu Chunming's eyes turned red.
Why hasn't the broken part come yet?
I am not a regular army here, and I can't bear it for much time in the face of the Japanese army.
"Sun Doufu!"
"Here!"
"Hurry up and take a look at the broken queen."
"Yes! In case of...... What if that Battalion Commander Yang died? ”
"You're fucking bringing the body back for me!" Wu Chunming roared.
"Yes!"
……
Several cars stopped.
Meng Shaoyuan and Cai Xuefei got out of the first car.
"Stop, there is a British defense area in front, no entry!"
A British major blocked their way.
Before he could finish speaking, another car drove up.
Getting out of the car this time were Sir Greenwood, the chief director of the Board of Directors of the Public Concession and the chief executive, David Moyes.
Both of them looked a little embarrassed.
"Good work, Sir Sir, Mr. President." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
"Oh my God, break out in the middle of the night." Sir Greenwood complained: "I am already asleep, can't I do these things again during the day?" ”
Militarily, Sir Greenwood was a complete layman.
"Because we don't want to lose too much." Meng Shaoyuan's patience today is still very good: "Ah, by the way, Ms. Cai Xuefei, you must know it." ”
"Lady Rose." Moyes bowed slightly to Cai Xuefei: "Why are you here too?" ”
Cai Xuefei said lightly: "Our soldiers are fighting bloody battles there, of course I want to come here." ”
Sir Greenwood and Moyes immediately realized that something was wrong, and it was not only Madame Rose who had arrived, but also Joy of Angus International, and Mr. Hawes.
These classes are all influential figures.
What does Meng Shaoyuan want to do......
……
"Squadron Leader, Squadron Leader, Battalion Commander Yang is injured, Battalion Commander Yang is injured."
Sun Doufu crawled to the position.
"What? Are you seriously injured? ”
"It's very heavy, the squad in charge of the broken one, one dead and one injured, and now the brothers are coming to us with Camp Commander Yang!"
"Answer! Answer! ”
Wu Chunming is usually honest, and there is no particularly bright performance in the entire Songhu Anti-Japanese War.
But tonight, all his energy burst out.
Several soldiers carried a seriously wounded man on their backs and quickly approached the area.
And behind them, dozens of Japanese soldiers who kept firing.
"Hit!"
Wu Chunming roared violently, picked up his machine gun and frantically poured bullets at the Japanese army.
Suppressed for the time being.
"Quick! Fast! ”
Wu Chunming greeted loudly.
Suddenly, there was a huge pain in his right chest.
Not good, shot.
Wu Chunming's body shook, and then he took advantage of the situation and slowly lay on the sandbag of the position: "Quick!" Fast! ”
The soldiers rushed into the position with the seriously wounded Yang Ruifu.
The Japanese army was obviously unwilling to let go of this group of Chinese troops, and the bullets were "banging" towards here.
What's even worse is that a heavy machine gun was also brought up, and bullets whistled like a rainstorm.
Yang Ruifu's injuries were very serious, he was shot twice in the chest and was also wounded in the thigh.
"Sun Doufu." Wu Chunming's face was pale, but he couldn't see it at night: "Drag Battalion Commander Yang to withdraw, quickly, withdraw." Two hundred meters, as long as they entered Yu Qiaqing Road, the Japanese would not dare to shoot unscrupulously. ”
"Yes!"
Sun Doufu immediately beckoned his brothers, put Yang Ruifu on the stretcher that had been prepared a long time ago, and then began to lie on the ground and drag it all the way.
Two hundred meters, this is a distance of death, but also the distance of life!
Wu Chunming kept pulling the trigger, and the two machine guns on the position would be the key to whether the brothers could take Battalion Commander Yang out of danger.
Bullets whistled in the air.
Wu Chunming found that his blood was flowing quickly.
He had to force himself to hold on.
"Wu Chunming, your task is to hold out until the last soldier retreats safely!"
The orders given to him by the commander echoed in his ears.
"Grenades, grenades!"
He hissed.
Several grenades were thrown together.
In the roar, the smoke of gunpowder filled!
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Wu Chunming glanced back, and Sun Doufu's figure had disappeared into the night.
It should have been half the way, and the remaining half of the way, the Japanese army was already a small threat to them.
"Squadron Leader, what about you?"
"I'll be here in a moment!"
"Yes!"
Wu Chunming knew that he would not be able to.
It was as if his whole body had been hollowed out.
"Don't stand up with a machine gun and shoot, only a madman would do that!"
When your head is hot, why do you forget this?
Ay.
The wife and children are hot on the kang, and it has only been a few days of comfortable life.
Zheng Xindi is a good woman, and after she dies, she will definitely do her best to take care of her children.
Wu Chunming let out a long sigh.
His vision blurred.
Blood, too much shed.
Wu Chunming forced himself to be more sober, and he dimly saw that the Japanese were approaching the position.
The machine gun roared again.
But in exchange, it was the crazy shooting of the Japanese army.
His body twitched, then his head slowly fell to the sandbag.
That's it, that's it.
Wu Chunming continued until he died, with a trace of deep unwillingness on his face.
