Chapter 625: The Fortress Falls
"Can't wait!"
The time was approaching noon, and Changshan was fighting everywhere. The vanguard of the Japanese army is slowly approaching the headquarters, and there is a possibility that the rear road to the south will be cut at any time.
Bao Changyi waited anxiously at the headquarters, and until the last moment, he did not give up hope for reinforcements. No matter how much the chief of staff urged, he was not moved.
Why is this happening? The time had come for Bai Chongxi to let them retreat, but Bao Changyi still refused to leave Madang Fortress.
An hour earlier, he had received a telegram from Xue Weiying that reinforcements were arriving from the main road and would definitely arrive at 2 p.m.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two shells exploded in front of the command department, which means that the devil is in front of him.
The cannons, wounded soldiers, and supplies were all loaded, waiting for Bao Changyi's final order. However, this Madang, known as China's first fortress, was lost in his own hands, and Bao Changyi felt unwilling, ashamed and guilty.
Bao Changyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You go, bring supplies and the wounded."
The chief of staff smiled bitterly: "When I am a person, if you don't leave, I won't leave." The big deal was to blow up those cannons, and the wounded soldiers each gave him a grenade. ”
At this time, Shao Fei rushed in with three special combat teams and shouted, "Why don't you leave!?" The devil arrived at the door, and now Dulongji is blocking it. ”
Bao Changyi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Shao Fei and his team members in the dust, blood-stained clothes.
The chief of staff said helplessly: "The chief refused to leave, and Xue Weiying sent a telegram, saying that reinforcements would arrive in the afternoon, let us insist."
Shao Fei's bloodshot eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Bullshit, it's going to be fucking early!" Not to mention the afternoon, you can't hold on for half an hour! ”
At this time, Bao Changyi comforted: "Let's go, the falcon must not be sacrificed in Changshan."
Shao Fei immediately ordered: "Come on, take this Chief Bao away!"
"Yes!"
Two special combat team members stepped forward and said, "Offended."
After speaking, Bao Changyi was taken out by the two.
"What are you going to do? Come! Come! ”
Bao Changyi kept calling people, and the guards wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were stopped by the chief of staff.
Shao Fei said to the staff officer: "Now you can blow up the forts, fortresses, and position fortifications."
The chief of staff nodded and said, "Well, I'll stay and dispose of the important documents of the headquarters, you go first, and I'll arrive later."
"Let's go!"
Shao Fei then left the headquarters with the special combat team. Madang Fortress was lost like this, and Shao Fei was also very depressed. If reinforcements had arrived earlier, even a regiment would not have fallen to the point of hasty withdrawal.
Shao Fei didn't go long, and the Changshan position and both sides of the Yangtze River roared continuously. The chief of staff has already begun the operation of blowing up the fortress.
Shao Fei came to the south road and found that Bao Changyi had not left.
Shao Fei wanted to dissuade him again, but Bao Changyi said: "Don't persuade me, I have to wait for the chief of staff and other soldiers to come back." The devil won't let us go so easily, someone has to break off. ”
"But not you. If the commander is captured, the morale and consequences are unimaginable. ”
Shao Fei looked at the equipment of several carts and said, "These cannons must not be left to devils." Chief, you go first, I'll pull the team back and take care of the break. ”
Bao Changyi was a little frustrated, and even the six gods had no master, he exhaled and said, "Okay, let's retreat to the area around Liusi Bridge." You guys catch up as soon as possible, and you must rescue the chief of staff. ”
"No problem."
After speaking, Shao Fei took a special agent platoon from the counter-position.
On the position, the sound of artillery became scarce, and the sound of gunfire became dense. This is not a good thing, indicating that the devil is nearby.
"Retreat, retreat in the direction of Liusi Bridge!"
On the way, Shao Fei encountered some scattered soldiers, so he told them to evacuate to the south. There was no point in holding the position any longer, and the south was in dire need of troop cover.
"Why are you back again?"
Halfway through, Shao Fei collided with the chief of staff. Behind the chief of staff, there was also a radioman and two adjutants.
Shao Fei replied anxiously: "Chief Bao has already evacuated to the area around Liusi Bridge with his baggage, but it is very likely that the devil will launch a pursuit. Chief of Staff, you go and gather the scattered soldiers and cover the retreat of the baggage. I'm going to bring out the troops who have not been able to withdraw from the position now. ”
The chief of staff patted Shao Fei and said, "I know, you have to be careful."
"Let's go!"
Shao Fei led his troops to the western position, where the gunfire was the most intense.
Dulongji is still holding his position. Now all the contacts of the various departments are in the middle, and there are devil soldiers everywhere. And what he can do is to block the devil's further attack and cover the evacuation of the personnel behind him.
The 1st Brigade was the first to withdraw from the Changshan position, and they carried a large number of artillery; The 3rd Brigade, located in the east, also withdrew from Changshan; Now the second brigade in the west remains.
However. The soldiers were scattered all over the place, led by Dulongji, pillars, and knives.
"Captain, I'm surrounded again."
One of the soldiers beside Dulongji smiled, his expression completely amused.
Just repelled a group of devils, and this time a large number of devils appeared on both sides of the east and west. The 3rd Brigade has been withdrawn, and the eastern line of defense is empty.
Dulongji was relieved: "The command has been evacuated, and we are ready to break through."
Less than sixty people remained on the position, and half were wounded. Dulongji ordered the wounded to go first, and he took one of the platoons himself.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, a signal flare was raised in the southwest direction, and Dulongji immediately ordered his troops to retreat in the direction of Taibai Lake in the southwest.
"Da-da-da-da." ““……””
After a burst of strafing, Dulongji shouted an order: "Throw the grenade, withdraw!"
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Under the cover of smoke, Dulongji withdrew with his troops to the southwest, but the devils were in hot pursuit.
The signal flare was fired by Shao Fei, and it was also fired to the pillar and the knife to show them. The entire Changshan position was a mess, and it was impossible to contact them one by one.
The pillars and knives rushed back first, all of them disgraced and embarrassed. Behind them were less than forty soldiers, most of whom were wounded.
Shao Fei ordered: "Stop talking nonsense, go to the woods in the south first"
Xiaodao smiled: "No nonsense, no, Du Longji is surrounded in the northwest direction." I want to save it, but I can't protect myself. ”
Shao Fei slapped the knife, he had never seen the knife so embarrassed and helpless. It can be seen from this what kind of battle they went through.
Shao Fei said softly: "Let's go."
Knife shouted, "Let's go!"
The soldiers carried the wounded slowly towards the woods, their steps heavy. With Shao Fei and their break, at least now these wounded are safe.
Shao Fei pulled down the safety of the submachine gun and said, "Let's go!"
"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "Da Da Da" "......"
During the retreat, Dulongji was outflanked by the devils from the west and took refuge in another trench.
A wounded man said loudly: "Captain, leave us alone, you can go." Just leave us a few grenades. ”
"Tututu" "......"
Countless bullets hit the ground in front of the trenches, setting off rows of earth flowers.
Du Longji smiled: "If you don't say these old words, you will die, are we leaving?"
Dulongji is usually a very serious person, but in this desperate situation, he has been laughing in front of his fighters.
The devils kept approaching the trenches and suppressed them with machine guns.
Dulongji ordered loudly: "The wounded soldiers stay, the rest prepare grenades and bayonets!"
The unwounded fighters left the extra grenades for the wounded and said, "Brother, let's go first."
Then, having patted the wounded, he put a bayonet on the muzzle of the gun and prepared the enemy to fight to the death.
When the devil was close to about thirty meters, Du Longji shouted: "Throw!"
More than thirty soldiers threw grenades together, and just as Dulongji charged, gunfire rang out in the southwest direction. The devils in the back fell in rows.
"Damn, I'm still here."
Du Longji smiled, he found Shao Fei from a distance and led the team to rush over here, so he ordered: "Bring the wounded, rush!"
The uninjured bore the brunt, followed by the wounded.
The devils of a small squad in the southwest were quickly wiped out under the charge from both sides.
"Bang!" "Bang!" “……”
A group of devils from the east rushed towards this direction while firing, and several soldiers were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground.
Shao Fei said loudly: "You bring the wounded, and we will break the back."
"Please."
Dulongji headed southwest with his troops.
"Hit!"
"Dadada"""""......""
More than two dozen submachine guns fired wildly at the pursuing devils, while Shao Fei led the team to fight and retreat.
Not long after Dulongji retreated, pillars and knives arrived with reinforcements from special combat teams.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
One by one, the pursuing devils fell to the ground, helplessly hiding in the trenches before Dulongji.
"Withdraw!"
Shao Fei ordered, and after everyone threw out the grenade, he turned around and ran quickly towards the southwest.
Coming to the woods to the south, Dulongji was waiting for them, and there were only a hundred soldiers left who broke through.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go, Mr. Bao is on the road to the south."
Shao Fei urged. Dulongji, however, walked out of the woods, followed by the other warriors.
At this time, the gunfire of the Changshan position had stopped, which also announced the complete fall of Madang Fortress.
"Salute!"
Duronlong roared suddenly.
With a sound of "brush~", more than 100 soldiers broke out of the encirclement and said their final goodbyes to their dead comrades in the direction of Changshan.
The Second Corps had more than 2,000 troops, but more than 1,800 people died on the Changshan position. They are defending not only the land, but also the dignity of the country.
Madang Fortress was originally an international joke, because of the heroic resistance of the marines, the blood stained the mountain, and the dignity of Chinese soldiers was restored with their lives.
