Chapter 968: Abandoned Officers and Soldiers

Thundered!

The war-torn Gaoyou City was devastated by the sound of cannons, the ground trembled under the bombardment of field artillery, and the smoke and dust of Gaoyou shrouded in darkness.

Under the cover of artillery fire, a large number of little devils in cotton clothes swooped forward like a tide towards the gaps in Gaoyou City, and the bullets whizzed and splashed bricks and stones.

"Bang ......"

In the streets and alleys of the city, which were almost blown into ruins, from time to time there were rifles and machine guns shooting at the devils, and the bullets pierced through the body and splashed blood flowers, and the little devils who rushed in front kept falling.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

The grenadiers of the devils followed and crashed into the ruins, and in the clouds of black smoke, from time to time there were one or two screams, which were the officers and soldiers of the Sulu guerrillas who resisted and were blown to the ground.

"Kill Gaigai!" The leader of the devil's squad roared fiercely, and the grizzled devil soldiers pounced on the smoke-shrouded ruins from several directions.

"Huh! Clear! ”

"Ahh

In the dim ruins shrouded in gunsmoke, the shouts of officers and soldiers on both sides colliding together, the clatter of the butts of guns smashing bones, and the inextricable killing of the two sides that were strangled together.

"Boom!"

As the smoke of the explosion rose, the soldiers on both sides who were scuffling together were quickly blown apart, and then smashed heavily into the rubble, their flesh and blood blurred.

The rubble fell silent again after the blast, and the few surviving Chinese officers and soldiers leaned against the corpses, panting as they wiped the blood left on their foreheads.

They couldn't remember how many times they had repelled the attacks of the little devils, and for a whole day, they were fighting with the little devils in the ruins of Gaoyou, fighting house by house.

The little devils have been unable to move an inch since the city was broken at dawn, and the officers and men of the Sano detachment, which was formed by the supplementary troops, soon encountered a head-on attack.

After the city was breached, many of the devil soldiers standing on the city wall holding high banners and rifles and cheering long live were shrouded in a rain of bullets, all of them were broken into a sieve, and then planted from the city wall, all of which was clearly seen by the commander Taro Sano.

The angry Sano detachment immediately sent a fresh force of several hundred people to reinforce it, but after fighting for a morning, it was not only difficult to survive, but suffered heavy losses.

Taro Sano ordered the artillery to bombard the castle indiscriminately, and the dense artillery fire made the entire Gaoyou almost a ruin, and many houses were left with empty frames, and then there was rubble all over the ground.

However, Taro Sano's bombardment did not destroy the resistance forces in the city, but instead the ruins formed by the bombardment became the best cover for the resistance officers and soldiers.

The elusive attacks of these Sulu guerrillas in the ruins made the whole city in danger, and the battle started in every corner of the city, but the ruins obscured the vision of the devil soldiers, so that they were constantly bombarded by grenades and attacked by cold guns.

Sometimes, as soon as they occupied a block and moved forward, the block behind them was again occupied by guerrilla officers and soldiers who came out of nowhere and attacked them behind them.

Although these devils have good marksmanship and high military literacy, their will to fight is not as good as those veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and they can't hold on to fighting in the ruins for a morning, and Taro Sano has to change to a new unit.

However, after the new troops entered the city, they would encounter the same dilemma, and the constant attacks made it difficult for them to move an inch, and the guerrilla troops actually relied on Gaoyou and the devils to fight a stalemate.

Gaoyou has become a difficult bone to gnaw, and Taro Sano, who is ambitious and bent on fighting a good battle in Gaoyou, is also getting worse and worse.

What Sano Taro didn't know was that the troops who stayed in Gaoyou Castle and fought with them all day were not the main force of the guerrillas, but just a blocking force left behind.

After such a long period of fierce fighting, this blocking force with a single formed battalion has less than a hundred people left, and it is now scattered in the ruins, waiting for the next attack of the devils.

Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu guerrilla corps, did not want to stick to Gaoyou and the little devils, so in the morning, he quietly retreated from the north of the city with the main force.

In order to prevent them from being bitten by the devils, the deputy commander Li Changjiang still left a battalion of troops to fight the devils in the city and delay the devils' movements.

Of course, all the officers and men of this battalion did not know that when they were fighting bloody battles with the little devils in the ruins, there was no one behind them.

In many battles, if you want to successfully get out of the hands of the devils, then you must leave a force to fight the devils to the death, and the troops left behind have little hope of survival.

Therefore, all the troops who were left behind were unaware, because once they knew, no one wanted to stay and fight to block the attack, and it would be a death battle to fight the back of the blockade.

Many times the troops left behind thought that they were only part of the whole campaign, and that there were brothers fighting in many invisible places, but in fact, they were the only ones fighting.

"Damn, the devil has finally retreated."

A brother with a plastered face kept pointing his gun at the street corner in the distance, aiming for five or six minutes, but did not see the little devil coming, and then he leaned against the rotten wall and gasped.

He unscrewed his kettle and looked up to drink water, but not a drop of water fell from the kettle, and he kept tense his nerves to fight the devil, and then he remembered that the water had already been drunk.

"There's still no water, and my throat is going to smoke." He turned his head to look at a brother lying in the rubble and staring into the distance, and asked in a low voice.

"I have it below, do you want to drink it?" The brother grinned playfully, his chapped lips covered in blood.

"Holy shit, are you looking for a beatingβ€”" The mocked brother's eyes widened and he shook his fist menacingly.

At this moment, the sound of rubble being trampled on came, and the two people looked at each other, and they raised their guns to aim in the direction from which the sound came.

Two blood-stained people appeared in the crosshairs, not devils, but their commander, acting battalion commander Du.

Their battalion had been fighting the little devils in this ruin for a day, and they had been beating the little devils to the ground, but they themselves had suffered heavy losses.

A battalion fought with only a hundred brothers left, the battalion commander and company commanders were all dead, and the current acting battalion commander Lao Du was only a platoon commander and had to take over the command and continue the battle.

"Can you hold it?"

Du, the acting battalion commander, took a brother to inspect the various positions, and saw that there were only two brothers left, and his nose was a little sour.

"I can hold it, but I don't have food or drink, and I don't have the strength." The brother leaning against the wall pointed to his empty belly and said.

Acting battalion elder Du also sat down along the wall, took out a crumpled box of cigarettes from his arms, shook out two cigarettes, and handed them to the two brothers: "Hold on first, I have already sent someone to the back to find Chief Li, and the food and drink should be delivered soon." ”

"Lao Du, there are no new brothers to make up for this half a day, do you think that Chief Li and their people have withdrawn, and the silence behind this is a little unusual." The veteran put a cigarette into his mouth and lit it, muttering to himself.

After hearing the veteran's words, the acting battalion commander Du also jumped in eyelids: "Impossible......"

Acting battalion commander Du was just a platoon commander before, and all the superior commanders were killed, and he was on top of it, and he had been busy commanding and resisting the devils, and he had no time to think about other things.

At this moment, a brother came running from a distance, ran to the back of the bunker, and without taking a breath, said to the acting battalion commander: "Battalion commander, battalion commander, the devil is coming up from the north!" ”

Acting battalion elder Du grabbed the brother by the collar and asked anxiously: "Aren't there Commander Li over there, where are they?!" ”

"Run, I've already fucking run, I went to ask for supplies and didn't even see the ghost shadow, I saw the devil coming from over there!" The brother cursed with tears in his voice.

"Well, let's fight for a long time, and the relationship is to be cannon fodder for the person surnamed Li." The veteran threw away the cigarette in his mouth and seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of thing.

"Damn, go and inform the brothers to come and gather, let's break through!" The acting battalion commander was also full of anger that was the anger of being abandoned, and waved his hand, ready to evacuate with the surviving brethren.
