Cheng Guoping pulled out the brother in the tank, only to see that there was a face covered with blood, and the other situation was not much better, he hurriedly shouted at the two of them, pushed and shoved for a while, but there was no response.
Cheng Guoping probed under their nostrils with his hand and found that there was still breath, but it was very faint.
Before he had time to think about it, he picked one up and dragged them to the chariot he was driving.
With the help of another brother, Cheng Guoping finally pulled the two men into the chariot and ran towards the position.
As soon as he left the big crater, a row of huge naval artillery shells exploded where Cheng Guoping had stayed before, kicking up several meters of dirt and gunpowder smoke that soared into the sky.
The chariot, which was lying in a large crater, was blown up into the sky in an instant, and with the raging flames, it turned several somersaults in the air, and fell heavily to the ground, completely shattered to pieces.
At this time, Cheng Guoping didn't care about the surrounding situation at all, and he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to retreat to his position before the shells bombarded the chariot.
Cheng Guoping ignored the fact that there were four people squeezed in the small space of the chariot, and desperately increased the throttle, and the speed was faster and faster.
The fat man saw this thrilling scene, and he ordered in a hoarse voice: "All light and heavy firepower are all fired at the devil to cover the chariot detachment" On the national position, all the light and heavy infantry fire, including the few mortars that were not damaged, spewed fierce anger at the howling devil infantry.
Under the heavy fire of Maxine heavy machine guns and 60mm mortars, the devils who followed the tanks were hit to the ground one after another, or killed by mortar shells.
The devils who had already rushed up did not show weakness, they lay on the ground, and each of them desperately fired at the position of the national army with the weapons in their hands, so that the fat man couldn't even raise his head.
Seeing that the nearest devil was only forty meters away from the position, the fat man shouted loudly: "Grenade, go" As soon as the words fell, rows of various grenades and grenades like black crows flew towards the Japanese devils in different arcs, and exploded in the middle of the devils, making the little Japanese ghosts cry wolf and be embarrassed.
For a time, the sound of gunfire, killing shouts, and screams on the position became one, and the position became a hell of blood and fire.
The soldiers of the national army and the devils who rushed up repeatedly fought for a position.
A few minutes ago, the position occupied by the devils was immediately concentrated by the national soldiers, re-fired, and then lost and recaptured again.
Both sides left quite a few corpses on their positions.
Now, whether it is the soldiers of the national army after the break or the devils who attacked, they know very well in their hearts what this attack means to them As long as the devils successfully occupy the position, they can open the passage from Luodian to Changshu, Jiangyin, and Nanjing, and then use this to block the retreat of the national army retreating north, gather and annihilate it.
And for the national army that is holding its position, as long as they can withstand the crazy attack of the devils this time, then their blocking mission tonight will be completed.
First, the time for retreat is almost up, and secondly, it is impossible for the devils to organize two large-scale attacks in a short period of time, and without the cover of naval artillery fire and air fire, this is their last chance.
The fat man firmly believed that as long as they withstood this attack, they would be able to survive the catastrophe and escape alive and join the large force of the Independent Brigade in Changshu, although it was possible that not many people would survive.
The devils who rushed to the front were almost wiped out by the grenades, and the devils in the back couldn't come for a while, so the fat man immediately ordered the bamboo catapults that had long been on standby on the position: "Launch" I only heard the whistling sound of "Xiu Xiu" resounding in the night sky, and a piece of bamboos like sharp swords cut through the darkness and inserted them into the devil who was rushing towards the position, and the raindrop-like bamboos were effortlessly inserted directly into the body of the devil.
Countless devils had pointed bamboos stuck in their bodies, and they fell to the ground with frightened eyes, and in an instant, there were terrible screams everywhere, as well as the tips of the bamboos that were obliquely inserted on the ground.
The devil infantry lost the cover of tank fire and was directly exposed to the fire of the national army, and suffered heavy casualties.
Now all of a sudden, he was attacked by such a fierce bamboo catapult, and he was in chaos.
In addition, the vision at night was not good, and the devils could not figure out what new weapons the national army was using, and they were all at a loss, their morale plummeted, their combat effectiveness plummeted, and there was even a phenomenon of retreating.
Seeing this situation, the devil officer was very helpless, he felt that even if he continued to fight, he would not be able to occupy the position of the national army, and if he didn't get it, he would have to take in a lot of heroic soldiers of Great Japan, which was not very cost-effective, so he ordered the troops to suspend the attack and withdraw first.
Seeing that the devil slowly retreated, the fat man's heart hanging in his throat finally fell, and he asked someone to count how many brothers could fight with guns.
Soon, the statistics came up, and the more than 300 soldiers left behind, plus Cheng Guoping and them, after two crazy attacks by the devils, there were only about 80 people left who could fight with guns, including the lightly wounded, and there were less than one-thirds of them.
What the fat man has to think about now is not the question of how to explain to Zhou Wu when he returns to Changshu, but how to get rid of the entanglement of the devil and retreat to Changshu safely with these ragged and scarred brothers with him in the time of retreat.
The fat man found Cheng Guoping and said in an unquestionable tone: "Old Cheng, you hurry up and retreat first with the remains of the lightly wounded and fallen soldiers, and I will lead the remaining eighty brothers to buy time for you, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." ” Cheng Guoping couldn't figure it out, he was reluctant to leave on the position, the fat man suddenly became anxious, and shouted with a red face: "Captain Cheng Guoping, I order you to retreat immediately, otherwise according to battlefield discipline and military law."
The fat man's face was hideous and murderous, and this time he was really anxious.
If they continue to fight like this, if they don't retreat, they may all go back.
Now it is possible to walk a few and walk a few, and we must not wipe out the whole army.
Cheng Guoping saw that the fat man was really coming, and he didn't dare to come out, the so-called battlefield military law is not to be talked about, and the fat man, as the colonel and regiment commander, has every right to shoot a junior officer who does not obey the command, and there is no need to report to the top.
Seeing Cheng Guoping's nervous and helpless appearance, the fat man thought that he couldn't be too serious, so he immediately squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "Old Cheng, you also know the current situation, if we continue to consume with the devil, the big guy may not be able to go back." ” "It doesn't matter if we can't go back, the point is that you tankmen have to go back.
Before leaving, I was specifically told to protect you and retreat to Changshu safely, no matter what time you are.
In this way, it should be regarded as leaving a little hope and seed for those of us who have been broken. ” The fat man told the truth, Cheng Guoping and they did not belong to the independent brigade, and the tank corps is really a rare class, and it is a baby bump in the national army, so there must be no mistakes.
Zhou Wu said that even if the broken brothers are all gone, they must ensure that Cheng Guoping and them return to Changshu safely.
The fat man always kept this sentence in his heart, so this time he would rather leave it in this Luo shop by himself than let Cheng Guoping and them have anything to do.
The most important thing is that there are already two tank crews who are seriously wounded and dying, and if they cannot be effectively treated, then there is only one outcome waiting for them, death As soon as Cheng Guoping heard that the fat man had said this, he no longer insisted on his opinion, and immediately beckoned the lightly and seriously wounded to hurry up and prepare, take the remains of the fallen soldiers, and begin to retreat to Changshu.
Cheng Guoping had just walked not far away, and the fat man caught up panting and said, "Old Cheng, after you arrive in Changshu, when you see the brigade, you will say a word for our brothers, and say that please rest assured that the people who stay behind will definitely stick to the last moment." ” After the fat man finished speaking, before Cheng Guoping could reply, he turned around and ran back to the position, ready to meet the devil's next attack.
At this moment, Cheng Guoping's eyes were moist, and he looked at those soldiers of the national army who did not hesitate and continued to hold their positions, many of them would never return to Changshu.
The people who remained knew this very well in their hearts, but they were not afraid, they were not timid, they were determined and quickly entered the position, each checked his weapons and equipment, and waited for the storm to come.
A tragic and bloody battle, a battle of life and death is about to begin.
In this picturesque water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the fire and gunsmoke will rise again. t1706231537:
