Chapter 839: Nishio Shouzo
"It's over, it's over, not only will we not be able to complete the mission, but we will all have to die here......"
"Why, why is this happening?"
Cao Qun and the remaining one or two hundred Yongqing soldiers were already full of despair, and many of them were already crying.
There were still a mile or two away from the mountains in the distance, and they knew that if these Japanese cavalry continued to pursue, they would all die here before they could rush into the mountains, but they did not cry because of this, they cried because so many people died, but they could only die in vain.
Sudden ......
At this moment, a fighter plane rushed down from the clouds, with an earth-shattering roar swept over the crowd, the course machine gun was firing fiercely, the whistling bullets were like plowshares, plowing huge blood holes in the bodies of those cavalrymen, and a fighter plane with green smoke crashed directly into the railway, turning into a huge fireball on the railway in the huge explosion!
In an instant, more than a dozen or twenty Japanese cavalrymen and horses were swept to the ground, and the railway was full of gunsmoke, and the flying fragments of fighter planes caused many Japanese troops in the trenches to suffer from the disaster of pond fish!!
"It's the fighter plane that is looking for death!"
The Japanese defenders laughed and roared, the anti-aircraft artillery fire that had been prepared was activated in unison, and more than a dozen Japanese fighters followed down from the sky, constantly strafing!
Before Cao Qun and other soldiers of the Yongqing detachment cheered for the arrival of their fighters, they saw the green smoke on the fighter fuselage that had just been pounced, and it slammed into the ground not far away, and exploded into a pile of debris.
"Run, ......"
Cao Qun yelled, he didn't have time to grieve for the death of those two fighter pilots, he had to flee here with the only remaining brothers, and he couldn't let them die in vain - this rare chance to escape, but the latter pilot paid the price of his life plus the scrapping of a fighter plane!
Many soldiers of the Yongqing detachment reacted at this time, and followed Cao Qun to rush towards the mountains and forests not far away, and when those cavalry finally calmed down the horses, they could only see the backs of a few soldiers running at the back, and they didn't chase anymore, because after entering the mountains and forests, the power of the cavalry would be greatly reduced.
Those Japanese fighters did not chase them, they still had more important tasks to do, one is to encircle and suppress the fish that slipped through the net among the fighters of the air brigade, and the other is to help suppress the offensive of the Zhina army under the city of Zhongmu and the position of Yuewangmiao.
In front of Yunfeng Pass, the offensive of the recruits was extremely fierce, and they even broke through to the second line of defense of the Japanese army again and again, and killed a lot of Japanese soldiers.
It's a pity that their own casualties are even greater, nearly 1,000 men, most of them have died in just over an hour, although the remaining more than 200 recruits are still attacking wildly, still using human bombs to launch suicide attacks, but they are no longer capable of launching a more fierce offensive again.
"Captain, five hundred Japanese troops are coming quickly, seven miles away from this side at most, and twenty minutes at most - our plan has succeeded!"
At this moment, the scout stationed in the rear trotted back, conveying the information that the Japanese army had mobilized reinforcements from Shaxiba, his face was full of excitement, thinking that these ordinary people who were waiting to be starved to death a few days ago were now dedicating their strength for the motherland and for their children and grandchildren, and that sense of glory and pride made him want to cry when he thought about it.
"Withdraw ......," Shi Mingyu ordered.
"So many people died, you let us evacuate? How can we be worthy of our dead brethren! ”
"Yes, Captain Shi, let's keep fighting, let's die with the brothers......"
The recruits roared with blood-red eyes, and many of them even went to grab the explosives bag, they were reluctant to leave, they would rather die here, they felt that dying here, their humble life was already worth enough.
"Calm down!"
An instructor choked up and said: "Brothers, you are doing well, but our task has been completed, and if we continue to fight, we will die in vain - live, fight devils alive, and avenge the brothers who died here, and see alive to see what kind of new China our efforts today can create for our children and grandchildren!" ”
"Little devil, next time grandpa comes to ask for your dog's life!"
"You wait for Lao Tzu, wait for ......"
The recruits roared away under the leadership of Shi Mingyu and others, leaving corpses all over the ground, and at the same time looking forward to it, expecting that they and their brothers would mobilize the Japanese army with their lives, hoping that Cao Qun and others could take advantage of the empty force of Shaxiba to blow up the railway bridge over there and complete the task assigned by the regiment commander.
It's just that they didn't expect that the Yongqing detachment led by Cao Qun had been ambushed and suffered many more casualties than them under the charge of the Japanese cavalry.
Thundered......
Behind them, a fighter plane flew over the Yunfengkou Railway, dropping a series of bombs, the railway was full of gunsmoke, four or five Japanese fighters tightly biting the butt of this fighter plane and shooting wildly, the whistling tongue of fire swept by, the surrounding trees fell as if they had been broken by sharp axes, and the huge rock was instantly beaten like tofu and was riddled with holes......
"Run!"
"It's time to blow up the railroad, right?"
Seeing this scene, Shi Mingyu and the recruits who did not die became excited, and some even quickly climbed up the high treetops to check the movements of the railway and the pursuing fighters.
"How's it going?"
As soon as the soldier got off the tree, Shi Mingyu and the recruits asked nervously.
"The railroad has been blown up in several places, and the little devils are rushing to repair it, and there are still people laughing, and it seems that it will be repaired soon—and our plane is also smoking, and it is flying so fast that I can't see if it has fallen......" The soldier cried out in his grief.
"Damn it!"
The rest of the recruits stamped their feet in frustration, not knowing if it was because the planes were smoking or if the railroad bridge would soon be repaired.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe the railway bridge over Shaxi Dam has been blown up!"
Shi Mingyu smiled dryly to cheer everyone up, and led the team to rush to the meeting place, but remembering that the soldier said that the Japanese army was still talking and laughing, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, after all, if Cao Qun and the others succeeded, it would be impossible for these Japanese soldiers to laugh!
However, no matter what they say now, there is no point in saying anything, and the Japanese army here has added 500 new reinforcements, and even if they turn around and attack again, they can only be sent to death.
The top priority now is to meet with Cao Qun and others first, see what the situation is, and then make a decision
