Chapter 141: We Are Forgotten
In the distance, the Japanese grenade at the foot of the main peak, the heavy machine gun that was about to have a long bullet whistling towards the main peak, and the main peak position had to face the Japanese attack in two directions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although Ma Liancai and all his soldiers knew that the devil had his back on him, they no longer dared to rush out.
Because the corpses of the more than forty flesh-and-blood soldiers in the last attack had already told them that the devil's grenadiers and heavy machine guns were waiting for them, and if they dared to break out of the cover of this ruin, then the oncoming barrage would bring them all down.
And the main forces on the main position are still not caring for themselves, so they are even less concerned, or it is more likely that the main peak sees that the Japanese have been able to start shelling from their direction, and already think that their positions have been occupied.
So the question of attacking or retreating has always been entangled in Ma Liancai's mind.
The road that was convenient for the Japanese army to transport was still within the control of the main position, and the Japanese army had to take Niushou Mountain if they wanted to attack Nanjing in a big way.
The connection between the flank position and the main position has been cut off by the Japanese army, although with their containment, the Japanese army cannot attack Niushou Mountain from the flank, but will the Japanese army use a small force to encircle the flank position in a roundabout way, so that the retreat of Ma Lian Cai Company will be cut off.
The attack was clearly destined for death, and the retreat was not ordered, but if they did not retreat, they would have no way to live.
Ma Liancai himself is not afraid of death, but he can't forget what the recruit who saved him said before he died, and he wants to try his best to keep these soldiers alive so that they can have a chance to go home in the future.
Although Ma Liancai knew that it was unlikely that they would return home, at least they should not die under his own leadership.
On the night of the third day when Ma Liancai and the others were "forgotten" by the Japanese army and their own army, Ma Liancai's mood no longer needed to be entangled, because that night the observation post suddenly reported that the gunfire on the main peak position had stopped!
Huo Xiaoshan Ma Liancai hurriedly climbed to the position and looked at the main peak, in the direction of the main peak in the dark night, there was no gunshot, which was extraordinary.
Because in the past few days, although the sound of gunfire in the direction of the main peak is sometimes like bursting beans, sometimes the gunfire is scarce, like the wind blowing through dark clouds, only bringing a few raindrops, but it has not stopped.
Now it has completely stopped, and in the distance you can see a pillar of light cutting through the night sky at the foot of the mountain in the direction of the main peak, which is the pillar of light of the headlights, and it is not a spark brought out by the bullet when it flies in the dark night.
The fear has finally happened!
The big army must have retreated!
The Japanese army must have reached the main peak!
Because the defenders would never turn on the car lights in the dark.
After Ma Liancai and several people looked at each other for a while in the dark night, Ma Liancai suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Retreat!" Fall back! Retreat!! ”
Then in the dark night, he even rolled and crawled to the ground and took the lead in running to the anticline, and shouted while running: "Get up quickly, retreat, one is better than falling!" ”
Later generations commented that the Nationalist Government Army was good at attacking rather than defending, and this statement can be seen from this.
That is to say, when the government army of the Republic of China attacked, it was still able to fight to the death and serve the country sincerely, but when it retreated, it was often chaotic, and under the example of the officials' greed for life and fear of death, the retreat became an escape.
As a result, the desire of all departments to survive became more and more urgent, and they often collapsed under the direct pursuit of the Japanese army.
Therefore, in terms of the commonality of escaping, Ma Liancai is the same as some high-ranking members of the Chinese army today, but the difference is that he also knows to flee with his brothers.
He hurriedly ran to the anti-artillery hole on the anti-slope plane, kicked and kicked, and even picked up the wounded and ran back together.
Then again, when the battle is fought, Ma Liancai has no other choice if he does not lead the army to retreat.
There are only thirty or fifty people in the remaining headquarters.
Fortunately, the seriously wounded had been sent back to the rear before, and when they stormed the main peak position, none of the soldiers were alive under the pressure of the Japanese grenadier heavy machine guns, so they only had a few lightly wounded.
It is as miserable as a flock of geese, and panic is like a fish that has slipped through the net.
In the dark night, the remnants of the Ma Lian Finance Department hurriedly withdrew their legs in the direction of Nanjing, deep and shallow, walking in such a hurry that some soldiers ran away in the darkness and lost their shoes, and hurriedly chased forward barefoot.
It's just Ma Liancai, can they really escape? The main force may have forgotten them by thinking that they had all been wiped out by the Japanese army, but what about the Japanese army, a whole squadron of the Japanese army was shattered in this small flank position, and the Japanese army knew that there must still be Chinese troops here.
After the start of the retreat, there was a sprint, and under the control of fear, most of the men of Ma Lian Cailian were out of breath, and the pace of the march slowed down.
Most of them have stumbled, and the night is extremely dark, but there are pitfalls and bags everywhere under their feet, so there are more people who fall and fight when they are stumbling.
Just when they were about to reach an open field, Ma Liancai fell under his feet, and he scolded angrily: "This broken path is also against Lao Tzu!" ”
But before he could get up, the people behind him were also knocked down by him, but it didn't matter if he fell, the gun went off, and with a "bang", the bullet actually grazed the scalp of Ma Liancai in front of him!
Ma Liancai was furious, turned around and scolded: "Who? You don't have to pull me if you want to die, go back and fight the devil yourself! ”
However, just after the gunshot, two headlights suddenly lit up on the ground 100 meters in front of them!
The snow-bright thick direct light suddenly enveloped Ma Liancai and them, and under the sudden strong light was a group of disheveled and panicked Chinese soldiers, and the light turned out to be a searchlight! Searchlight of the Japanese army!!
Just when everyone was at a loss, they heard two gunshots, but the two headlights were hit with guns, and the broken headlights just emitted a little white smoke and returned to a darkness between heaven and earth.
It was Huo Xiaoshan who shot.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't run out of breath like the others, even when he retreated, his state of mind was only panicked for a while before he regained his calm, and his physical strength was the best among these people.
The reason why he ran at the back was because he was taking care of the few wounded who were running last because of minor injuries from time to time.
Fortunately, it was precisely because he was the last in the crowd that he was not dazzled by the sudden light, and he reflexively extinguished the two searchlights in the first time.
Almost at the same time as these two gunshots, the Japanese machine guns rang out, accompanied by the screams of the Chinese soldiers after being shot.
The people behind hula fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Ma Liancai was lying on the ground, and because of the haste of the incident, when he lay down, his face hit the heel of a soldier lying down in front of him.
The machine-gun bullet flew past his head, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed the soldier's heel, he pulled it back, and said, ", get out, it's a heavy machine gun!" ”
However, when he dragged his hand, it was light, and he realized that the soldiers in front of him had been beaten in two by the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, and he only dragged the lower half of his body!
Ma Liancai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
At this time, there were several gunshots behind him, but it was Huo Xiaoshan who aimed at the fire from the muzzle of the heavy machine gun when it just swept over, and the light from the muzzle of the heavy machine gun detonated the fast and slow machine, and suddenly the Japanese heavy machine gun was dumbfounded.
"Retreat! Disperse and retreat! Huo Xiaoshan shouted anxiously, and he was not idle, he slid a few times on the ground, flashed a few meters away, and almost at the same time, the rifle bullet of the Japanese army hit the place where he had just shot.
Ma Liancai organized the soldiers to shoot indiscriminately in front of him, while lying on his stomach and moving his body back from a dirt bag, thinking, fortunately this place is uneven, otherwise there would not even be a place to hide.
No, fortunately, the gun went off!
If this gun doesn't go off, your group of people won't directly hit the muzzle of the devil's gun, the heavy machine gun suddenly burst, basically all thrown here, this devil set up a heavy machine gun here, this is obviously waiting for us!
And the fact is just as Ma Liancai guessed, the Japanese army is waiting for them here.
After the Japanese army had to retreat because of excessive casualties, the main force of the Japanese army naturally pursued after the main force of the Nationalist Government Army guarding Niushou Mountain.
However, the Japanese commander would not forget that this flank position that had eaten one of his squadrons before and after.
So he set up a heavy machine gun on the road where Ma Lian's finance department must retreat, set up a trap and waited for them to drill into it, and ordered the remaining troops to completely annihilate this branch of the army.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese soldiers misfired and allowed them to avoid the end of this total annihilation.
In the darkness, after a shootout, Ma Liancai and the others finally retreated from the ambush circle of the Japanese army, but there were eight fewer people, and there were only forty-five of them left. (To be continued.) )
