Chapter 547: Brother
The devil's bombers dropped bombs one after another to Ruichang, a small city in northern Jiangxi, and artillery of various calibers also bombarded indiscriminately.
The earth was shaking, and a mushroom cloud dozens of meters high rose in Ruichang City, and black smoke and flames rolled and swept away, under such a high-intensity blow, not to mention the living, even those solid buildings were turned into powder.
The hordes of devil soldiers stayed outside the city with great interest and watched the city rumble and explode, their eyes only full of beastly excitement and no mercy.
Whether it is the commander of the 111th Brigade or the wing commander of the 145th Wing, looking at Ruichang County, which is caught in the sea of gunsmoke, their hearts are also extremely happy.
Isn't it customary for the Chinese army to hide in the ruins of the city and fight with them in street battles, so I will cover you with artillery bombardment, completely blow you up, and see where you hide.
They could imagine that under such intense shelling, the Chinese officers and soldiers hiding in the city would surely suffer heavy losses, and they would only need to clean up the mess when they entered the city.
Just as they were looking at the city that had been shattered by the artillery fire, a sudden fierce exchange of fire came faintly from the west of the city, causing the Ichikawa Yozo team to frown.
"Send someone to ask, what's going on?" Co-captain Yozo Ichikawa had a vague bad premonition.
The two devil cavalrymen turned over their horses, clamped their legs between the belly of their horses, and quickly galloped towards the west of the city.
Soon news came that a Chinese army broke through from the west of the city, broke through the resistance of a squadron, and fled in the direction of Donggu Ling.
"How many are there?" Ichikawa asked.
The returning cavalry replied: "About five or six hundred." ”
"Yaga!" I thought that the Chinese officers and soldiers were blown into ashes in the artillery fire, but I didn't expect them to run away, and the wing commander Ichikawa Yozo suddenly turned pale.
"The cavalry squadron is attacking quickly, and we must completely annihilate this group of people!" Wing Commander Yozo Ichikawa hurriedly ordered the cavalry squadron leader beside him.
"Hello!"
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and more than a hundred devil cavalry rolled up a large puff of smoke and dust, and chased after Yang Ling and their buttocks.
After Yang Ling and the others broke through from the west of the city, they hurried all the way to the direction of Dongguling, where the main force had turned, and quickly evacuated, but not long after they ran out, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind them.
"Tuanza, Tuanza, devils, devil cavalry are catching up!"
A squad leader who was running at the back of the team was tired and out of breath and chased after him from behind and reported to the regiment commander Zhang Handuo.
The evacuated team was sparsely packed, and the brothers who had been fighting continuously were all tired and crooked, and they could no longer run on their legs.
"Do you want to fight a guy and knock them off first?" The regiment commander Zhang Handuo pulled out his pistol and was ready to fight.
Yang Ling shook his head: "You can't fight, if you are entangled by the devil cavalry, and the devil brigade behind catches up, none of us can go." ”
Lin Xiufeng, the commander of the 302nd Regiment, also ran over out of breath and asked, "The devil cavalry has caught up, what should I do?" ”
"Let's run apart, take the path, whether you can get rid of the devil or not, it depends on your own creation." Zhang Handuo made a decision after a little thought.
Lin Xiufeng and the others also realized that it would definitely not work to fight, so they immediately nodded and agreed: "Then let's see you later."
"Take care!"
Lin Xiufeng and the others left the road and ran out along a large paddy field, and the team ran crookedly, very embarrassed.
"Let's go too." Seeing Lin Xiufeng and them running away, Zhang Handuo withdrew his gaze and turned around and ran to the field on the other side.
Yang Ling's team that broke out of Ruichang City split into two and left the main road, plunging into the deserted wilderness, and now they can't manage so much, so they can only get rid of the devil's cavalry first.
The devil cavalry unit rolled up a large stream of smoke and dust and chased after them, looking at the Chinese officers and soldiers fleeing in two directions, the devil squadron leader thought for a while, and the cavalry team was also divided into two, respectively towards Yang Ling and they began to pursue again.
It's just that after leaving the main road, the field is not flat, and the speed of the devil cavalry can't help but slow down, and Yang Ling and the others take the opportunity to widen the distance between them and the devil cavalry.
The number of devil cavalry chasing after Yang Ling was only fifty or sixty, but they were like dogs smelling fishy, biting Yang Ling and not letting them go.
Yang Ling and them have been pasted several times, if it weren't for the terrain, Yang Ling and they would have caught up.
"So... It's not an option, sooner or later you're going to be caught up. "Although twilight is approaching, the devil cavalry is closer to them.
The brethren were really unable to run, and they were so exhausted that they had exhausted their physical strength from the continuous fighting, and now their feet were weak and they were shaking when they walked.
"Tuanza, let's stay to stop the devils, you can run for your lives."
Those brothers who were wounded in the battle in Ruichang County also knew that they were now a burden and would drag the entire team to death sooner or later, so they spoke up one after another to stay and stop the devils.
These brothers were very brave when fighting devils, and after being injured, although they lacked medical treatment, they did not frown, and in the face of the moment of life and death, they would rather sacrifice themselves than drag down the other brothers.
Looking at the wounded and sick who asked to stay, the regiment commander Zhang Handuo hesitated, if they could stay to block the pursuit of a devil cavalry, they had a great chance of getting rid of the devil.
But these are all brothers who have fought side by side, and if they are thrown to the devils, they are destined to be sacrificed, and he is a little unbearable, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.
"Tuanza, let's go." Seeing the hesitant Zhang Handuo, these brothers also anxiously urged, because the devil cavalry appeared in the field of vision again.
For the wounded and sick on the battlefield, it was both fortunate and unfortunate, fortunately they could be transported to the field hospital in the rear to enjoy happiness and rest for a long time.
Unfortunately, once the troops lose the battle and evacuate in a hurry, they sometimes become a burden and affect the evacuation due to their limited mobility.
Therefore, every wounded and sick person has a kind of consciousness, that is, when it is dangerous, they will invariably ask to stay behind to block the devil to cover the evacuation of the living brother, which has become a conventional rule.
"Tuanza, don't hesitate any longer, otherwise the brothers won't be able to run away."
The sound of the hooves of the devil cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the wounded struggled like ants on a hot pot.
Yang Ling looked at these brothers who were fighting side by side, and stepped forward to say: "Tuanza, you can't leave them. ”
"I can't control the rest of the troops, but I can't do it if I want to abandon my brothers and run for my life." Yang Ling said categorically.
In fact, no one wants to stay and die, but many times it is out of helplessness, Yang Ling also understands the feelings of these injured and sick brothers, they choose to stay, that is the best interpretation of the word brother.
There are many brothers in the Chinese army, they fight side by side on the battlefield, bloody battles, and even block each other's bullets.
"Carry them away!" Yang Ling pulled the bolt of the gun and turned to Qin Shou and shouted, "Go back with me to block the devil!" ”
"Yes!"
