Zhang Wei's various gestures of favor finally made these soldiers of the 99th Division relax their guard, and the leading first-class soldier Hou Guoxing began to tell the cause and effect of this situation little by little.
Fastest updates "The brethren listened to the words of the commander and opened fire with their spears into the sky, and many brothers died."
"Some brothers are injured and can't go, there are two Jiangxi soldiers lying there, and they are humming on the ground on the ground are Hunan soldiers, there are too many wounded soldiers, and they can't go, the company commander asked the Zhao Platoon in the second row to bury the wounded soldiers with us people, there are still my fellow countrymen there, how can we go down, we will kneel down and beg Zhao Paifu, Zhao Paifu is not allowed to live or die, a few of us will beat Zhao Paifu to death, and now I don't know what to do if I stay here."
Hou Guoxing, a first-class soldier from Henan, told Zhang Wei everything in one go, and when it came to excitement, Hou Guoxing gritted his teeth and cried bitterly, and the same was true of the soldiers around him.
Zhang Wei learned from Hou Guoxing that the soldiers in front of him were all soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 297th Regiment of the 99th Division, and this division was not a pure Central Army unit in the 99th Army.
Most of the soldiers around Hou Guoxing were from the Ninth Company of the Third Battalion of the 297th Regiment, and Hou Guoxing was the first-class soldier of the Ninth Company.
There were few soldiers who had fought in the troops, and Hou Guoxing, a recruit from Henan, was arrested and sent to the troops, and was distributed to the troops for just over four months, and then they were mixed with a first-class soldier, and their troops were marching and maneuvering in the field, preparing to advance to the predetermined assembly area, but they did not come to fruition, and the Japanese planes suddenly appeared in the air, so the troops of the 99th Division on the march were subjected to fierce air attacks, and in Hou Guoxing's description, there were bombing and strafing, and the troops of the 99th Division on the march suffered heavy casualties.
Those huge craters are the masterpieces of Japanese aircraft.
The bullet casings under the soles of the feet were left by the soldiers of the 99th Division to stop the anti-air shooting, but the use of Hanyang-made and a few Czech-style light machine guns obviously had no effect on the air shooting.
The highlight is in the back, after the Japanese plane left, what was left behind was full of devastation, and what appeared in front of Zhang Wei was the masterpiece of the Japanese plane, the crater, the charred straw, and the bullet casings everywhere Hou Guoxing's unit suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a lot of wounded, these wounded soldiers could not walk at all, either rushed to the hospital, or could only be thrown in place, some were seriously wounded, and some were actually not too seriously injured, but were only injured in the leg, unable to act independently, the number of wounded soldiers was nearly 100.
As a result, in order to march as soon as possible, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 297th Regiment, where Hou Guoxing belonged, actually ordered to discard all the wounded soldiers who marched on their own and to take back all the weapons in the hands of the wounded and sick soldiers.
And let people "dispose of" these wounded soldiers, among them, these to be disposed of, not only "wounded soldiers," but also include the whole battalion of sick soldiers who fell into a coma due to physical exhaustion, these soldiers did not suffer any war wounds, purely because of nutritional and physical problems can not continue to march, and are also included in the list of treatment.
The third battalion and nine companies, that is, Hou Guoxing's company, became the execution of this processing task, and the so-called processing was buried alive The big pits that Zhang Wei saw were the pits that were ready to bury people, the company of the ninth company, the Zhao company in Hou Guoxing's mouth, and the soldiers of a squad such as Hou Guoxing, holding military shovels and pickaxes, preparing to dig a pit and solve these wounded soldiers and soldiers who were physically exhausted.
Most of the wounded and sick soldiers who are going to be buried are new recruits, and some are even fellow villagers and friends of Hou Guoxing and others.
Seven or eight people threw this Zhao Paifu to the ground and stabbed to death this veteran who was about to take the lead in burying people with a bayonet.
The shell gun in Hou Guoxing's hand was snatched from Zhao Pai's body.
After that, these people stayed here until they ran into Zhang Wei.
"Damn, it's dark enough to do this dog's day."
After listening to Hou Guoxing's speech, Zhang Wei scolded a sentence, and the veterans of the engineer platoon who came with Zhang Wei were also very angry when they heard such a tragedy, this was a completely organized massacre, and the target of the massacre was not the Japanese, but the soldiers, the soldiers in the army who were wounded in battle and the soldiers who were physically exhausted and unconscious and could not continue the march.
Zhang Wei knows that it is very miserable to be a soldier in these years, especially the big soldiers at the bottom, all kinds of tragedies and chaos emerge in an endless stream, killing new soldiers and soldiers is not a new thing, but such a large-scale burial alive, Zhang Wei and the veterans of the engineer platoon are unheard of.
Nearly a hundred people, wounded, unconscious, lying on the ground wailing, and dead bodies, stumps Zhang Wei sighed and asked.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
As soon as Zhang Wei asked this question, Hou Guoxing and several soldiers next to him all showed bitter faces, they killed the platoon, prevented the action of burying them alive, and killed people, those injured brothers, Hou Guoxing and others had no way to deal with them, and Hou Guoxing and these people did not dare to return to the army and killed the platoon, this matter could not be hidden at all.
That Zhao Platoon is attached to a sergeant platoon, a veteran who has fought a war, and if there are no people, Hou Guoxing's company commander and battalion commander will definitely investigate thoroughly, and once they find out, they all know that they will die if they go back.
"Sir, what else can I do, I can't bear to leave these brothers, it's not that I haven't thought about being a deserter, but this is a war, there is no place to live, in case we run and run into the Japanese, our heads are not enough for them to stuff their teeth, and returning to our own team is also a gun-eating life, and I can't come up with an idea, so I can only lead the brothers to wait."
Hou Guoxing said.
Zhang Wei was silent for a while, looking at these wounded soldiers, he gradually had an idea in his heart, many of these wounded soldiers were slightly injured, and many of them were unconscious without injury, the total number was nearly a hundred, which is not a lot of numbers.
I made this trip to meet Du Junzuo face to face, and then I asked Commander Du that it would not be a problem to send these wounded soldiers to the field hospital of the Fifth Army, and that it was completely possible to ask Commander Du in the name of teaching the wounded soldiers of the brigade to send the wounded soldiers of the 99th Division to the military hospital, and to tear off the badges and armbands with numbers on their uniforms, so that no one could tell that these were soldiers of the 99th Division.
The teaching brigade has experienced so many battles, the casualties are not small, the number of each infantry squadron is now in the early 100s, Zhang Wei in front of these soldiers, it doesn't matter what the quality is, but this group of soldiers seems to be at least able to use guns, they have been bombed by Japanese planes, organized anti-air shooting, and can be regarded as fighting against the Japanese army, and have experienced actual combat.
Hmph, Zhang Wei thought to himself that this is nearly a hundred people, if they are scattered and supplemented to his own teaching brigade, divided into various squads and platoons, and supplemented the battle losses and shortcomings of each squad and platoon, so that the veterans can lead the new with the old, and the combat effectiveness can be raised soon, wouldn't it be a good thing As for the people's hearts after the co-optation, don't worry, this is to give Hou Guoxing's gang a way to live, and theoretically they should be grateful.
Zhang Wei made up his mind in his heart to incorporate this group of soldiers of the 99th Division, and these soldiers did not seem to have any other choice, in the road in front of them, following Zhang Wei was the only feasible, relatively safe, and quite cost-effective.
"Brother, I'll just say it directly, we are the Central Army, our brigade is the elite, we wear an iron hat on our heads, we hold a medium formal in our hands, we wear cloth shoes and military boots under our feet, we have food to eat, and we have a hospital to treat you, you dare to beat the platoon to death for your brothers, I admire your morality, you have no good place to go, it is better to follow my troops, have good guns and good equipment, and immediately let the injured brothers go to the hospital for treatment, think about how" Zhang Wei didn't hide much, and said to Hou Guoxing very sincerely.
Indeed, Hou Guoxing has no choice, there is only this road, which can be regarded as a bright road.
"Sir, you can really protect our brothers and find Langzhong for the brothers."
"I will never break my word."
Zhang Wei said.
Hou Guoxing gritted his teeth.
"Sir, the lives of our hundred people are yours":
