Chapter 241: Shoot Out the Cannonballs!

The sky darkened, the rising black smoke blended into the darkness and made the sky pitch black, the blood-filled battlefield was like a hell without light, occasionally cold guns and cold cannons rang out, and the ghostly screams echoed in everyone's ears, making people feel creepy.

On the artillery bombed position, the brothers of the guerrilla battalion and the remaining brothers of the Northeast Army were making final preparations for evacuation in an orderly manner.

Major battalion commander Zhao Wenbin's face was black and he couldn't see his original appearance clearly, but a pair of knife-like eyes were extremely sharp, holding a devil saber with a cold light in his hand, looking at the fragmented position, and there was silence for a long time.

Most of these brothers came from the cold and freezing northeast, but they were going to die in the cold and damp south of the Yangtze River, and they couldn't even get a broken straw mat, so they could only temporarily dig a big pit and bury it.

Although the bones of the soldiers are buried everywhere, why should the body be returned to the horse leather, but buried in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away from their hometown, they don't know if their souls can find their way home, so they don't want to become lonely ghosts.

"Rest in peace, rest in peace." Some veterans muttered, carefully wiping the faces of each deceased, as if they would always remember their appearance.

The corpses were carried into the dug pit one by one, and with the swing of the shovel, the bloody scorched earth soon submerged them, and the earth also buried their past and past, and finally became a mound on the battlefield.

Zhao Wenbin poured the only remaining wine in the kettle in front of the new grave to pay tribute to his dead brothers, and sorrow hung over his heart.

"Brothers, I am not afraid that there are so many people on the Huangquan Road as companions, and I have to continue to fight devils when I get to the underworld." Some veterans muttered to themselves, wiping away tears as they spoke.

Seeing these familiar brothers fall beside them one by one, disappearing in every battle, and then adding new faces around them, a great sense of loneliness haunts these brothers and makes them feel cold.

Looking at the brothers who hugged their heads and cried, Zhao Wenbin's hoarse voice sounded: "All cheer up, these dead brothers are not bad, they are heroic, don't cry like a mother-in-law, you will make friendly soldiers laugh, puff up your chest, like a man, and avenge the dead brothers in the future!"

Zhao Wenbin's voice was infectious, and it actually stopped the brothers' crying, making their soft hearts hard, and some people clenched their fists fiercely, secretly saying that they would take revenge in the future.

The old smoking gun came out of the darkness with a group of ragged people, saw Yang Ling next to the half-smoking wood, and walked over.

"Battalion commander, all the mines and explosives that can be heard have been buried, as long as the devils dare to chase after them, I promise to blow them all up into dumpling filling." There was excitement and ferocity in the voice of the old smoking gun, they had killed so many brothers, and they had to pull some devils on their backs before evacuating.

"Are all the brothers left behind to detonate in place?" Yang Ling was not at ease, and asked about every detail.

"The fat man and a few brothers stayed, they are all veterans we trust, they haven't blown up the devil, and they will definitely not retreat without permission."

Yang Ling nodded, he trusted the fat man Tian San, with him, the platoon commander, to leave and detonate, he would definitely be able to blow up the devil and turn over on his back alone.

While he was talking, there was a sudden terrible whistling sound in the sky, and all kinds of artillery in the Jiangyin Fortress opened fire in unison, and the cannonballs smashed overwhelmingly in the direction of the South Gate and Yunting Town.

There was a rumbling sound in the direction of the devil's position, the earth was trembling, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

The dark sky was illuminated, and the magnificent streamer shone brightly in the dark night, making the brothers on the battlefield stretch their necks and their faces reveal excitement.

"My good man, so many shells have hit me, I'm afraid I'm going to blow up the little devil so that my father and mother don't recognize it." Someone stared at the projectile that swept overhead, his face full of excitement.

"Don't say that my father and mother don't recognize it, I'm afraid I'll be blown to ashes."

"They deserve to be blown into ashes, and it's better to die!"

The bright light reflected the red faces of the brothers, and their hearts were more excited than anyone else, and they were very happy to see that their own artillery was also powerful.

The artillery of the Chinese army is scarce, and these front-line soldiers know that their army has artillery, but they have never seen it, because they have to change places when they fire two shots, and they are running around all day long, and they have been losing and retreating, so they have no time to exert their power.

But this Jiangyin fortress is different, the fort has a large number of artillery, but this breakthrough can not be taken away, in order to avoid falling into the hands of devils, the fortress commander Xu Kang ordered to shoot all the shells, and then blow up, although the heart hurts, but this is also a helpless move.

Seeing the brothers discussing excitedly, the faces of the two battalion commanders were not happy, the artillery of the Jiangyin Fortress was purchased from abroad at a great price, although now it looks like a rumbling fight, but thinking that it will be blown up later, my heart is panicked.

"Brother Zhao, the retreat has begun, and the wounded soldiers will be handed over to you, please." Yang Ling retracted from the direction of the flaming devil's position and looked at Zhao Wenbin who was standing beside him.

Zhao Wenbin turned around and shook hands with Yang Ling: "Brother Yang, I'll wait for you on the other side of the river, pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, we'll catch up with you soon." Yang Ling barely squeezed out a smile.

Zhao Wenbin retreated along the established route to Jiangyin County with the light and heavy wounded and most of the troops, and then crossed the river from Huangtian Port, while Yang Ling took two companies of brothers to serve as the queen of the palace.

The artillery of Jiangyin Fortress did not stop for a moment, the rumbling and continuous fire, the earthquake trembled, the devils were blinded by this ferocious firepower, and the defenders of various positions such as the 122nd Division and the 103rd Division began to break through along the established route, and the intertwined gunfire made the noisy night even more noisy.

"The people are running away!" The ferocious artillery strikes and the feedback from the front-line troops made the commander of the 13th Division, Ogizhou Libing, make a judgment subconsciously.

"Order all brigades and wings to immediately attack and advance in the direction of Jiangyin County, and be sure to completely annihilate the broken through China Army and seize the fortress artillery!" Without the slightest hesitation, the soldiers of Ogizhou gave the order for a general attack, and he was excited when he thought of the large-caliber artillery in the Jiangyin fortress.

The Third Fleet of the Navy was blocked in the Jiangyin Fortress, and now it was still necessary for the Imperial Army to clear the way for them, and the thought of this Ogizhou Libing was very happy, and he could finally stand up in front of his old opponent and raise his eyebrows, and he could even think of the angry look of the naval commander.

The troops on the front line of the devil were also forced to be anxious, and the small Jiangyin they couldn't gnaw it down for so many days, and now seeing that the other party was about to run, how could they let it go, and immediately pounced towards the direction of Jiangyin County like a vicious dog.
