Chapter 683: A Fierce Battle
The fighters have no choice, they don't want to be saddled with the infamy of traitors, so they can only do something for this country full of trauma with their last blood.
Enemy forces outnumbered themselves rushed to their positions, and the warriors needed to finish their last work.
The smoke of gunpowder never seemed to dissipate in this quiet land, covering the vast sky, the sun changed color, and the earth was blood-colored, as if this was a barren planet in the universe.
Occasionally, one or two gunshots rang out in the distance, indicating that a battle had broken out here. There were fewer and fewer troops on the outskirts of Datong, and the soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food showed their iron backbone, they did not disgrace the Chinese soldiers, and they proved that there was no shortage of men who sacrificed their lives for the country in this land, although in this war, they existed like ants, but they were integrated with the land.
"Boom Boom"
The Japanese army began to attack their city walls, and the fierce artillery bombardment of Datong's city defenses seemed to want to blow Datong into a pile of ruins, and wanted to erase Datong from this land.
The troops were becoming more and more disorganized, and there were very few soldiers defending the city walls, far from reaching the number that could compete with the Japanese field troops.
The violent explosion bombarded the hearts of everyone in Datong City, but the soldiers had already lost the desire to resist, not because they did not want to protect Datong, because it was difficult for them to change this terrible situation on their own.
The army was mixed with citizens who wanted to flee Datong, and among the fleeing citizens were also mixed with soldiers who could no longer find troops, and everything was in chaos, and the original order, the original hatred of the same enemy had long since become nothing.
Song Zuyi, the deputy mayor of Datong, and his subordinates are still trying their best to maintain order in Datong, but they are powerless to return to heaven.
"Vice Mayor Song, what should we do?"
Song Zuyi has no choice, since the arsenal was bombed, he has been busy with the order of Datong, he even thinks that he can rely on his own strength to maintain the entire Datong, but until the front-line troops flocked into the city, everything he did was in vain.
"Leave whatever you want!"
Everything has been powerless to change, and Song Zuyi did not force the people around him to stay here and be buried with Datong, after all, when the Japanese army entered the city, they first had to find people who were concerned with the New 33rd Army to settle accounts, and he, as the deputy mayor of Datong, should stay and assume his final responsibility.
The staff of the municipal government, you look at me, I look at you, and then a few heads will not go to the house, where there are their wives and children......
"Aren't you leaving?" Song Zuyi looked at the people who were still in place.
"I heard that Datong is surrounded, where else can we go? As for the wife and children, there is nothing to worry about, I have already explained the future! ”
Those who remained were all young talents from Datong, and they were all picked out by Song Zuyi one by one, they didn't have the courage to pick up guns and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they used other ways to make their own contributions to Datong.
Song Zuyi looked at them and smiled softly, he smiled very happily, and at the same time smiled very sadly, he originally thought that no one would stay, but it turned out that his vision did not pick the wrong person, but the Japanese army was about to enter the city, I am afraid that there is not much time left for them.
"Boom Boom"
The Japanese artillery bombardment became more and more intense, and Datong seemed to have an earthquake, and the seemingly impregnable city walls seemed to become vulnerable. The troops and the people of the city poured to the south of the city.
However, not long after a group of people left the south of the city, they encountered the Japanese army, and the Japanese army had already surrounded Datong, although the people knew that this was true, but they still wanted to be able to have a chance to escape.
The Japanese army mercilessly fired bullets at the crowd out of the city, and those who had just rushed out of the city fell one after another under the fire of the Japanese army.
"Da Da Da"
This is not a complicated battle, but a very simple massacre, a one-sided massacre, blood-stained south of the city, and I am afraid that it will take several heavy rains to wash away the traces left by this massacre.
In the hospital, Li Weimin had woken up from a coma, but his consciousness was still in a trance, and there was no way to distinguish the surrounding situation clearly.
"Where am I now?" Li Weimin asked the soldiers beside him.
"Commander, you're finally awake! Doctor! Doctor! Our division commander is awake! The soldier hurriedly shouted for the doctor to come.
Dr. Wang hurriedly ran over to check on Li Weimin's condition.
"Where am I?" Li Weimin's face was pale, and his voice was weak and he asked Dr. Wang.
"Master Li, you fainted, you are in the hospital now!" Dr. Wang replied.
"How's the battle fare in the troops? Why is it that the cannon sound is so close, and it seems to be chaotic outside! "Li Weimin is most worried about his troops, now that the sky has dawned, I am afraid that he has been in a coma for several hours, these hours, there is no one to command, the situation in front may have deteriorated.
Doctor Wang glanced up at the soldiers beside him, and then said to Li Weimin: "Commander Li, don't worry, Brigade Commander Huang has returned to the command headquarters, and now he is directing the battle, and this cannon sound is our cannon!" ”
Doctor Wang lied, Huang Changsheng's life and death are uncertain until now, and there is a company of soldiers looking for Huang Changsheng's traces on that ruin, but nothing was found, as a doctor, he knew that Huang Changsheng's chance of surviving was very slim.
However, what Li Weimin needs most now is peace of mind, his body has reached the limit, if he continues to work, he can only die of illness at the desk, and with his current physical condition, I am afraid that he will not be able to command the troops.
As for the sound outside being the sound of the hospital evacuating, the staff officer of the command headquarters arranged two battalions of soldiers to protect the evacuation of the hospital, and as long as the situation outside the city changed, Li Weimin was escorted to evacuate Datong first.
In order to let Li Weimin recuperate with peace of mind, or in order to allow Li Weimin to live, Dr. Wang had no choice but to lie.
When Li Weimin heard that Huang Changsheng had gone back to command the battle, his hanging heart had been completely put down, and then he fell into a coma again.
"You two carry Commander Li, remember to protect Commander Li's safety no matter what happens!" Dr. Wang originally wanted to inject Li Weimin with drugs to make him fall into a deep sleep, but he didn't expect that now that Li Weimin was in a coma, he would be relieved.
"Division Commander Li, I'm sorry, your life is more important than the lives of all of us combined, if you can still lead tens of thousands of soldiers in the future, I hope you will fight back to Datong and avenge the soldiers who died in battle!"
Dr. Wang said his final goodbye to Li Weimin, he did not evacuate with the troops, because he had to stay in the hospital, and there were so many wounded to take care of in the hospital, and these wounded could not be evacuated with the large army, so Dr. Wang voluntarily chose to stay and take care of the wounded.
……
Liu Chundao and the others braved the bombardment of Japanese planes, and finally reached the periphery of Datong, and the vanguard completed the assembly and launched an attack on the Japanese army as quickly as possible. The trucks from Yingxian stopped one after another, and after the soldiers got off, the trucks returned to Yingxian non-stop to pick up the remaining soldiers.
"Don't be busy here anymore, Lao Tzu's headquarters is in Datong City, if you're not here, pick up a gun for me and go to the front line!"
The soldiers were digging the bunker of the temporary headquarters for Liu Chundao, and Liu Chundao saw it and hurriedly stopped the soldiers from continuing to dig the headquarters, and now the front line needs soldiers instead of a temporary headquarters.
When the soldier heard the order, he immediately threw aside his shovel and threw himself into battle.
"Division commander, let's leave a company by your side, the battlefield is too chaotic now, I'm afraid there will be an accident!" Liu Chundao's staff officer said to Liu Chundao.
Liu Chundao ignored his staff officers, but looked at Datong in the distance with a telescope: "Don't be idle, let's go forward, and directly put the headquarters three hundred meters away from the forward position!" ”
Liu Chundao is a hospital general, otherwise he would not have led the troops to blow up the artillery position of the little devil in person when he was in Beitai Peak, although he is now a division commander, he does not need to charge into battle, but he wants the soldiers to see his figure, just to tell the soldiers that he Liu Chundao is always fighting side by side with them.
Sure enough, the soldiers fought more bravely when they learned that their division commander was watching them from a position not far behind them.
"Division commander, it's too dangerous here, what if the Japanese army finds out?"
At a distance of three hundred meters from the forward position, not to mention that the little devil found it, even if the little devil didn't find it, a misfired shell was likely to kill them.
Liu Chundao looked at his staff officer coldly and scolded: "If you are afraid of death, respond to the county!" You are not needed here! ”
Liu Chundao, as the division commander, of course, he considered different levels, since he received the telegram, he knew that Datong might not have a good life, and he had to open a way for Datong to survive. That's why he braved the bombing of Japanese planes and rushed to Datong.
The Japanese troops who cut off the retreat of Datong had received news from their reconnaissance planes that reinforcements from the Chinese army were rushing towards them, and they had already prepared for battle, but what the Japanese army did not expect was that the battle was so tragic from the beginning, and the other side did not care about any cost.
"Da Da Da"
The Japanese bunkers were all improvised, and there were no permanent fortifications, although the Japanese positions were supported by strong firepower points, but the mortars brought by Liu Chundao's division still came in handy.
"Boom Boom"
The fighters who operated the mortars were veteran gunners, and they could carry out precise strikes on the Japanese army's fire points and cover the attacks of the fighters. Only the first rendezvous soldiers rushed to the Japanese army, but the Japanese reinforcements came to support, and the troops who rushed to the position were overwhelmed and had to retreat.
The sound of gunfire in the south of the city was also heard by the troops and citizens in Datong City, and they also began to pour desperately outside the city, only to get more corpses and blood. Similarly, Song Zuyi also heard the sound of gunfire in the south of the city, and hurriedly rushed to the south of the city with the people around him.
