Chapter 249: Don't be a prisoner

The six tanks quickly moved towards the position of the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment, and the more than 300 Japanese soldiers who followed behind the tanks had already begun to enter the combat state.

The officer, with the rank of Japanese captain in his right hand and a wary expression on his face, began to direct grenadiers and light machine gun shooters to find cover.

A grenadier and a light machine gun were quickly erected, and the grenadier and light machine gun shooter looked solemnly towards the regimental position.

These Japanese troops had fought with Liu Xi's second company at the Naozhai Mountain position, and they naturally knew how strong the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment was.

Just when the Japanese army was preparing to launch an attack on the regimental position, there was a fire at the regimental position.

When the visibly nervous devil soldiers saw the fire, they quickly fell to the ground, and the six tanks immediately stopped advancing.

The lieutenant officer held his binoculars, he looked towards the regimental position, and vaguely, he saw the wounded of the independent regiment in the firelight.

"What are they doing, what are these people doing." The Japanese captain said with a stunned face, he couldn't understand what he was seeing.

The smell of burning gasoline gradually came, and the torn uniforms of the wounded were already burning in the flames, and then the smell of burnt roasted meat began to be heard.

A loud roar came from the regimental position, and the sound passed through the sky, as if telling the injustice of heaven.

"Squadron leader, they are self-immolating, I took a closer look, these are the wounded." A second lieutenant squad leader came to the senior lieutenant officer and said.

The lieutenant officer slowly lowered the binoculars, the expression on his face changed significantly, and in the depths of his gaze, a light of fear gradually appeared.

The flames were still burning, and the Japanese troops were lying on the ground, and they quietly watched the scene in front of them.

Rao is these devil soldiers who are almost no different from beasts, and they can't help but be moved and frightened at this moment.

The smell of burning his body gradually became much stronger, and the angry roar in the flames gradually became quiet.

Hundreds of wounded on the positions of the regimental headquarters of the Independent Regiment, who had no weapons in their hands, not even a single grenade, resolutely chose to end their lives by self-immolation.

It is better to die as a martyr than to live as a prisoner.

As the flames gradually extinguished, the Japanese troops began to enter the regimental position.

Looking at the hundreds of charred corpses, the faces of the Japanese soldiers were full of shocked expressions, and the Japanese captain glanced at these corpses, and he bent his proud head.

The Japanese are a very strange people, in the face of the weak, they will bully and insult fiercely, but in the face of the strong, they will show a very respectful side.

After bowing to the bodies of the wounded, the lieutenant officer continued to march with his troops to the front, preparing to search for the evacuated troops of the Separate Regiment.

But he took a few steps forward, and his steps couldn't help but stop, and he bent down to pick up an armband on the ground, and his brow furrowed.

This is a blood-stained armband, and the armband is clearly embroidered with the four big characters "return my mountains and rivers".

Looking at the words on the armband, the expression on the captain's face became more and more solemn, and he vaguely felt that Japan wanted to conquer China, and it was a complete dream.

The doctors and nurses of the health team quickly arrived in the tunnels of Nanzhuang Village in a short time, and Zhong Jian commanded the troops to launch a guerrilla war.

When there was a fire in the direction of the regimental position, Zhong Jian had already realized that something had happened to these wounded.

But the dozens of people under his command were chased by hundreds of Japanese troops, and he was unable to return to the regimental position, and even if he returned, he would not be able to change anything.

The night was getting darker, and it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, whether it was the Japanese army or the independent regiment troops, the remnants of the Chinese and Japanese troops were exhausted.

The Japanese artillery wing successfully occupied the position of Naozhai Mountain, dozens of artillery pieces set up positions on Naozhai Mountain, and the entire town of Zhixi was covered by Japanese artillery, and they could support the operation at any time.

The Second Infantry Wing, led by Wing Commander Kiyozaburo Okazaki, quickly came to Nanzhuang Village, where Kiyozaburo Okazaki once again established a wing headquarters.

It's just that Kiyozaburo Okazaki doesn't know that in the underground of Nanzhuang Village, there are doctors and nurses from the health team, as well as some lightly injured people.

Immediately after the establishment of the wing headquarters in Nanzhuang Village, Kiyozaburo Okazaki got in touch with Hasegawaki of the 1st Infantry Wing.

The Panzer Company's actions were under the surveillance of Hasegawaji, and he knew that the Panzer Company was breaking out in a northwesterly direction, and he was also gathering troops to prepare for a pursuit.

He had assembled an infantry squadron, which had already begun to set off, and their task was to keep an eye on the armored company.

After Hasegawa Kei and Kiyozaburo Okazaki communicated, the two wings cobbled together three infantry brigades, and the two wing commanders commanded the three infantry brigades in pursuit.

Of course, they cobbled together three infantry brigades, but it still took time for these three infantry brigades to be assembled.

"Okazaki-kun, don't worry, I've sent an infantry squadron to monitor, and I will be very clear about every move of the Shina troops. All we have to do now is immediately draw troops out to form a pursuing force. ”

Hasegawaki swore an oath to Kiyozaburo Okazaki, and he felt that the whereabouts of the armored company must be under his control.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki didn't have any opinions, after all, the casualties of all parts of the Japanese army were not small, and it did take time to piece together three infantry brigades.

It's just that Hasegawa didn't know that the infantry squadron he sent out at this time had begun to run into trouble.

The infantry squadrons sent by the 1st Infantry Wing were to follow the path of the armoured company's retreat, but they were advancing on two legs, while the armoured company was mechanized.

This infantry squadron has always been in a state of rapid marching, and every devil soldier is sweating profusely, his face is pale, and his expression is tired.

The leader of the Japanese squadron leading the team was even more out of breath and seemed to be unable to run.

"Squadron leader, the tanks left behind by the armored forces of China were found in front." A Japanese second lieutenant squad leader came to the Japanese squadron leader to report.

The Japanese squadron leader carefully looked ahead and saw that the tank's tracks had been destroyed, but the Japanese squadron leader ignored it and ordered the troops to move on.

He felt that the tank had lost power, and the armored troops inside would definitely evacuate, but he didn't know that the armored troops inside had not evacuated at all.

The two armored soldiers had been in the tank all the time, they were waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army, and the two armored soldiers smiled at the corners of their mouths when they saw the Japanese army appear in sight.

A grenade was immediately loaded, and then the tank turret began to turn, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Japanese army, and with a "boom", the grenade was fired.
