At the same time, outside Matsue Castle.

The commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, Toshio Tani, was standing on a commanding height, holding a telescope, and was looking forward.

Gu Shoufu, an old devil, is almost sixty years old, old and frail, but at this time he looks energetic, and it is obvious that his spirit is in extreme excitement.

Being able to take down Songjiang so quickly is really a bit unexpected by the old devil.

Standing next to Tani was Shimono Kazuho, chief of staff of the 6th Division.

Shimono Kazuho is no longer young, he is in his forties and almost fifty this year.

Shimono Kazuho said: "Division commander, the number of the branch unit guarding Songjiang has been clarified, the 67th Army, the remnants of the Northeast Army who fled back to Guannai from Manchuria!" ”

"The remnants of the Northeast Army?" Gu Shoufu put down the binoculars and said with a cruel smile, "It's no wonder. ”

"Hello!" Shimono Kazuho paused and said, "In terms of soldier quality and equipment alone, the Northeast Army has the strongest combat effectiveness among all the local armies in China, but unfortunately, the Northeast Army has fundamentally gone wrong, and the commanders at all levels have never changed their preference for reserving the back road and preserving their strength!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Because of this, ten percent of the combat effectiveness can be exerted at most fifty percent!" ”

Gu Shoufu said disdainfully: "What like to preserve strength is not only the Northeast Army?" All the Chinese armies are the same! If it weren't for this in Yan Xishan in Shanxi, the more than 30 divisions of the Jin Sui Army would have been defeated by the Fifth Division so easily? ”

"Hello!" Shimono nodded heavily and said, "But there are exceptions, such as Zhong Yi." ”

"Zhong Yi?!" Gu Shoufu's eyes suddenly froze when he heard this, and the tragic situation when Jinshanwei grabbed the beach appeared in front of him.

Although the main attack of Jinshanwei to seize the beach was the Kunisaki detachment, and the 6th Division was only an auxiliary, it still paid a heavy price, and a whole six infantry squadrons were severely damaged!

Shimono Yihuo said again: "This Zhong Yi, he doesn't like to leave a back road, in Jinshan County, he shrank all his troops into the city, and started a house-to-house street battle with the imperial army, so the Kunisaki detachment fought very hard, not to mention the heavy casualties, and until now it has not been able to take it down, it is said that His Excellency the commander is very angry about this." ”

"Really?" Gu Shoufu said, "Did Your Excellency the Commander say anything?" ”

"Hello." "Your Excellency the Commander said that the Fifth Division is not worthy of the reputation of the Steel Army, and it may be more appropriate to call it the Noodle Army based on their poor performance in Jinshan County. ”

"The Dough Army?" Gu Shoufu's face showed a strange look.

I really don't know, if that guy in Itagaki hears this, what will he think?

At this moment, a young staff officer hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Division commander, the 13th Infantry Wing reports that the Chinese Army is building a pontoon bridge over Suzhou Creek. ”

"Take a pontoon? The Chinese army wants to escape! Gu Shoufu said in a cruel voice, "Call the 3rd Wing of the Independence Mountain Artillery, block the Suzhou Creek with artillery fire, and at the same time order the Okamoto Wing to strengthen the attack, and be sure to clear the remnants of the Zhina Army on the south bank of the Suzhou Creek to the Songjiang River before it gets dark today!" ”

"Hello!"

……

On the banks of Suzhou Creek.

The shells of the devil's artillery rained down, blowing up the pontoon bridge that had just been erected a little erected, and at the same time blowing up the corpses of the 67 officers and men.

"Be careful!" Guo Weiquan, the commander of the guard platoon, rushed forward with a loud roar and threw Wu Keren to the ground.

Almost at the same time, a shell fell less than ten meters away and exploded, and the shock wave generated by the explosion instantly raised a large amount of sediment and fell on the heads and backs of the two people.

"Leave me alone!" Before the smoke cleared, Wu Keren pushed Guo Weiquan who was pressing on his body away, then sat up and shouted, "Guo Zi, go and help, build a pontoon bridge, a pontoon bridge!" ”

The concept of reserving a back road has been integrated into the bone marrow of every commander of the national army!

Wu Keren is no exception, even at this time, he still wants to leave a way back for the 67th Army!

Seeing that Guo Weiquan didn't move, Wu Keren was furious: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" ”

Guo Weiquan stomped his foot violently, turned around and shouted at a few guards behind him: "Follow me!" ”

However, as soon as he took two steps, Guo Weiquan suddenly heard a short and rapid cannonball screaming, and the next moment, a loud bang almost exploded behind him.

Before Guo Weiquan could react, a huge impact force swept in, lifting him into the air.

flew out for more than ten meters, Guo Weiquan fell to the ground heavily, and this time he hit him, and he was directly knocked out of breath!

After a long time, Guo Weiquan finally recovered and looked at it urgently, only to see that the place where Wu Keren was standing just now had turned into a huge crater, but Wu Keren was gone.

"Throne!" Guo Weiquan's surprise was really extraordinary, and he immediately turned over and got up.

Guo Weiquan rushed to the edge of the crater as fast as he could, and then saw Wu Keren, who was scorched black and lying at the bottom of the pit, and Wu Keren's body was even smoking.

"Throne!" Guo Weiquan wailed, crawled into the crater, and helped Wu Keren to sit up.

At this time, Wu Keren also woke up faintly, and wanted to grin when he saw that it was Guo Weiquan, but unfortunately, the muscles on his face were all burnt, and he couldn't laugh at all.

Wu Keren sighed lightly and said, "Guo Zi, I can't do it anymore." ”

"Throne, you'll be fine." Guo Weiquan's tears brushed down, "No! ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Weiquan turned his head again and roared hoarsely: "Medic! Medic?! ”

"Guo Zi, stop shouting, don't shout." Wu Keren shook his head with difficulty, and said, "Guo Zi, remember my words, you must go back to the Northeast in your lifetime!" Even if you are the only one left in our 67th Army, you must go back to your hometown, and we must tell the Chinese people the facts......"

After a pause in this, Wu Keren suddenly used all his strength and roared hoarsely: "There is no one in the 67th Army, and there is not a single one in our Northeast Army, we are not a bad race!" ”

After yelling at the last word, Wu Keren tilted his head and swallowed his last breath.

It's just that the pair of tiger eyes were wide open, staring directly at Guo Weiquan.

"Junza, I wrote down your words!" Guo Weiquan agreed miserably, and then stretched out his hand to wipe Wu Keren's face, and Wu Keren's round and angry eyes finally closed.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Weiquan picked up the Bergman machine gun from the ground and hissed and shouted: "Brothers, continue to build the pontoon bridge, hurry up and build the pontoon bridge!" In any case, we can't let the brothers of the military seat and the 107th Division die in vain! ”

With the efforts of 67 officers and men at any cost, a pontoon bridge was finally erected.
