Chapter 419: Farewell with a gun

"It's cold at night, take everything you can! Fast! Hurry up ......"

Hou Ziping kept urging the soldiers of the Sichuan Army to clean up the battlefield, with a sense of fear of being shot away. The Sichuan army is afraid of poverty, and it is unthinkable for Hou Ziping to be able to annihilate a squadron and have enough time to clean up the battlefield.

Yang Hongtao walked up to Shao Fei and pointed to those Sichuan soldiers: "Big brother, look at them......"

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it." Go to the east and send out a guard post and let them clean up as much as they want. ”

"No way!"

Yang Hongtao resolutely refused Shao Fei's order. It's not that he is stingy, if it weren't for Hou Ziping breaking his promise and getting fat, his troops would not have suffered more than 20 casualties, more than half a platoon.

After speaking, Yang Hongtao first sent a sentry, and then went to find Hou Ziping.

"I said Battalion Commander Hou, most of the devils were eliminated by us, isn't it a bit unkind for you to do this."

"This ......" Hou Ziping smiled ashamedly and said, "Okay, one and a half."

"I'm not rare." Yang Hongtao had a completely inquiring expression and asked, "I'll just ask you, why did you run back to Teng County after you broke it!?"

"I'm sorry. At that time, we were worried about the safety of the division commander......"

"." Yang Hongtao was angry, and said excitedly: "Then why didn't you say it at the time!?" What do you think of the fight!? What are the consequences of deceiving allies!? ”

Yang Hongtao "exhaled" vigorously and said, "If it weren't for your words, I would at least send a sentry in the back, so that I wouldn't be caught up by the devil and rush to fight." I had enough time to prepare, so I wouldn't have died so many brothers! ”

Shao Fei did not stop Yang Hongtao from venting, because it was indeed Hou Ziping's fault. Yang Hongtao complained a few words and scolded a few words. Deceiving friendly forces leads to needless casualties among friendly forces, and it is not an exaggeration to shoot Hou Ziping.

Originally, Yang Hongtao also planned to give the equipment to the Sichuan army, but now he has changed his mind. They demanded that all the ammunition and grenades of the soldiers of the sixth company be replenished, and two mortar guns and two light machine guns were taken. Eight mortar guns and eight light machine guns are the standard equipment configuration of the main company of the Shuangfei Brigade.

After the battlefield was cleared, the two men returned to the woods. When all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army learned the news that the division commander Wang Mingzhang sacrificed his life for the country, they all burst into tears and were overwhelmed with grief.

Zhang Xuanwu suggested that all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army and the division commander make a final farewell. They placed the relics of General Wang Mingzhang neatly in front, and then lined up to face the relics.

Zhang Xuanwu was injured in the leg, and a soldier wanted to step forward to help him but he pushed him away. Zhang Xuanwu came to the front of the line and shouted vigorously: "Salute!"

The sound of the soldiers in the rear "brushing" together saluted the last military salute in the direction of the relic. The seriously wounded, unable to get up, turned their heads in the direction of the relic and saluted at the same time, waving tears goodbye to their division commander.

The soldiers of the sixth company stood diagonally on the other side. Instead of saluting, they raised their guns to the sky and waited for orders.

Shao Fei raised his gun and shouted vigorously: "Release!"

"Bang!" A hundred soldiers fired into the sky together, and the sound was deafening and resounding in the sky.

Shao Fei continued to shout: "Let it go again!"

The soldiers of the sixth company of "brushing" acted in unison, pulled back the bolt, and shot again.

"Putting!"

“……”

One hundred people resonated with six robberies, only until all the bullets in the chamber of the gun were fired.

The firing of a gun is the highest etiquette for a dead comrade in war. The consolation of the deceased is expressed by heaven, showing the grief, admiration, and blessing in the heart, and the affirmation of his life.

However, in this crisis-ridden situation, Shao Fei actually chose to fire a salute to bid farewell to General Wang Mingzhang, which also moved all the officers and men of the Sichuan army.

At the same time, the sound of rushing reached the ears of the Japanese soldiers who were rushing to find out the situation of the battle. They all looked in the direction of the woods.

"Sir, is there a war in the woods?"

This time, there was a squadron of Japanese troops, and the captain waved his hand and replied: "This is a gun salute, a consolation for the souls of the dead." At the same time, it is also a kind of declaration of war against us. ”

The devil captain carefully observed the situation around him, and wondered in his heart: what kind of battle did they go through. Not to mention the total annihilation of a squadron, many soldiers were stabbed to death in the back.

The devil soldier asked, "Sir, what do we do now?" The Chinese army has declared war, should we go and destroy them? ”

"Take these corpses back."

This captain had palpitations, and it was impossible for the remnants of the Sichuan army to have such combat effectiveness. There is also a mysterious unit among them, and if they attack rashly, they will only meet the same fate as this squadron.

Back in Fuji County, Captain Devil immediately returned to the headquarters and reported to their wing commander.

Akashiba Yaezo approvingly, "Your judgment is correct. If you had ventured into the attack, I think you would have been killed by now. ”

The captain asked, "Your Excellency, the Sichuan army has not fought like this, who is the enemy?"

"It should be Shao Fei, a very terrible enemy."

"In that case, then why send a squadron to die in vain?"

"It's the intelligence that's wrong. If I had known that Shao Fei was among them, I would never have sent a single soldier. Again, this matter is over, and the people above must not be made aware of it. ”

The captain was very confused in his heart, is this person in front of him still the co-captain of Ghost Chichai? They are afraid of their enemies.

"I don't understand, I don't understand. I'm an ace team, so why should I be afraid of a person. I think it's a very shameful thing to do. ”

"Yaga!"

"Hey." The captain bowed his head vigorously.

Chichai Yaezo explained: "Our mission is to capture Teng County, not to eliminate Shao Fei!" Shao Fei can only bring shame to the team. The Yamazaki Brigade, His Excellency Hidehiko Yagyu, the Nakajima Wing, and Lieutenant General Toshio Tani of the Sixth Division all brought them great shame because of Shao Fei. To defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy! We lost our troops in the battle of Tengxian, do you think we still have the ability to deal with a devil!? ”

"Hey! I'm sorry! The lieutenant bowed his head again, and then asked, "Then why don't you report this situation to the division?"

Akashiba Yaezo replied, "It's simple, because our division commander is an arrogant fool!"

In the battle of Fuji County, Akashiba Yaezo was angry with the command of the division commander Ryosuke Isoya. The Banheng Division was heavily damaged by General Zhang Zizhong in the south, and Ryosuke Isoya was more anxious to move south to capture Xuzhou.

On the day of the 16th, when the armored troops did not arrive, the division ordered the 10th Wing to attack Tengxian, resulting in many casualties.

The Sichuan army was a ragtag army in the eyes of Ryosuke Isoya, and Akashiba Yaezo was also reprimanded for it. It is inevitable that Akashiba Yaezo is extremely dissatisfied with his superiors, and Ryosuke Isoya is a guy who is eager for quick success in his eyes.

In the woods, Shao Fei and Zhang Xuanwu discussed, and asked Li Shaokun to lead people to return to Lincheng overnight with the relics of General Wang Mingzhang. As for the troops, they will enter the mountains at dawn tomorrow morning and wait for the next order.

Although the Japanese army conquered Teng County, the gunfire never stopped. The small units of the Sichuan Army, which had lost contact with the city, failed to break through in time, so they could only fight on their own, and continued to engage in street battles with the Japanese army, until the afternoon of the 18th, when all the heroic sacrifices stopped. The battle to defend Teng County really came to an end.

It is worth mentioning that there was no prisoner in the "Tengxian Defense Battle". The entire battlefield was full of corpses, gunpowder smoke covered the air, and Tengxian County became a scorched earth.
