After Zhou Wu finished talking to Zhai Daping, he radioed Wang Ding, who had gone to Danyang to reconnoitre, and ordered him to quickly turn back, turn around and rush to Shitang Town as fast as possible, and if possible, establish a cordon there.
At this time, Wang Dingzheng was panting with his men on the way to Danyang, as soon as he heard Zhou Wu's order to ask them to turn to Shitang Town, Wang Ding hurriedly took more than 100 men and horses under his command to turn to the southwest, and followed the place marked with Shitang Town on the military map, they have now marched to a place almost 40 kilometers away from Shitang Town, according to the current marching speed, it is estimated that they will be able to reach there in two hours.
Wang Ding heard the importance of the location of this Shitang Town from Zhou Wu's order, and he was also afraid that the devils who came from Wujin would move faster than him, and the distance from the direction of Wujin to that Shitang Town was only about forty or fifty kilometers, and it was impossible for the devils with many intelligence sources not to know the importance of the location of this Shitang Town.
Therefore, in order to be able to rush there before the devils seized Shitang Town, the king made a death order, asking the brothers to advance in the direction of Shitang Town at all costs, and strive to arrive early and seize it.
It's hard to hurt his brothers now, they were already out of breath just now, and now they have to speed up and run for their lives, isn't this asking for human lives But now I can't take care of it so much, the military order from above is important, even if it is worth running to death tonight, Wang Ding told his brothers, everyone hurriedly ran away desperately, and ran to that Shitang Town, even if they died, they were considered martyrs and enjoyed the corresponding pension treatment.
It's not for everyone to enjoy this pension treatment, everyone is dead, and the best treatment is useless, but it's just a matter of thinking about rushing to Shitang Town as soon as possible to block the road for the devils to attack from the direction of Wujin.
This is good for the special battalion and even the independent brigade, if you grind and are captured by the devils first, it will be miserable, at least you will be surrounded and wiped out by the devils before you reach the city of Nanjing.
Therefore, in order to be able to survive by themselves, regardless of the extreme fatigue of physical strength, the brothers of the advance team desperately gritted their teeth and rushed to the Shitang Town.
Fortunately, after about an hour and a half of running and bumping, Wang Ding and the others finally arrived at this place called Shitang Town.
Wang Ding was also so tired at this time that he couldn't breathe, and just wanted to order a rest for a while, and then enter Shitang Town, but unexpectedly, the brothers who were in charge of the front station reconnaissance came to report in a hurry, and suddenly gave Wang Ding a spirit.
Those brothers who played the front station stammered and reported, they didn't even speak very well, Wang Ding knew that there must be something in front of him, and it was not an ordinary trivial matter, otherwise these veterans who came from the Luodian battlefield in Shanghai had never seen any scenes, and they would not be able to speak very neatly Wang Ding hurriedly told the brothers to speak slowly, don't worry, after a while, those brothers relieved their breath and reported to Wang Ding: "Commander, the front is terrible, something big has happened." ” Wang Ding's head "buzzed", what a big deal Could it be that the devil's army has already captured this Shitang town before us, it's not like ah, the black light in front of it is blind, it's not like there are traces of the devil's army's attack, hey, what's wrong with these brothers, I still haven't expressed what happened in front of me.
Seeing that Wang Ding was in a hurry, one of the brothers who stood in front of him spoke more neatly and said: "Regiment leader, we just found the corpses of many ordinary people in a village near Shitang Town, it seems that they were slaughtered by devils, stabbed, burned, beheaded, hanged, everything. ” "And the devil has not been doing evil for a long time, those houses are still burning, we estimate that the devil may be around here, when these two brothers went in just now, they were defenseless, and they still can't slow down."
As soon as Wang Ding heard such a thing, he was so angry that he scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the little devils, and his brain was hot, and he wanted to order all the hundred or so people under his command to enter Shitang Town to settle accounts with those little devils raised by bitches.
Later, as soon as I calmed down, I found that no, I don't know how many devils there are in front of me, and I don't know where the devils are running now, so I rushed over recklessly, maybe I just got into the devil's pocket and slaughtered again.
After Wang Ding calmed down, he asked the brother, "Didn't you find a living one over there?"
Wang Ding still hopes to find one or two survivors at the scene of the massacre, at least to understand the situation of the murderer.
"Regiment commander, we searched in the pile of corpses several times, but we couldn't find anyone alive, the devil is too vicious, and we found that there are bayonet puncture marks on the bodies of those civilians who were killed by machine gun bullets."
The scouting brothers said indignantly.
Wang Ding calmed down for a while, and immediately sent a team of about ten people to the village to reconnoiter in detail, led by himself, and the rest of the brothers were temporarily hidden here, and at the same time, Wang Ding telegraphed to Zhou Wu and informed Zhou Wu of the massacre that occurred next to Shitang Town.
After Zhou Wu heard this, he was furious, and immediately ordered Wang Ding on the radio to find out the whereabouts of the murderers this time, and if necessary, he could make a decision on the spot to annihilate them all, and informed Wang Ding that he would not accept any surrender from these murderous devils, and they would all be killed.
Then he immediately ordered the large force of the Independent Brigade to speed up the march and strive to reach Shitang Town as soon as possible to meet Wang Ding.
With Zhou Wu's order, Wang Ding was much bolder, and immediately rushed to the village that had been ravaged by devils with more than a dozen scout brothers under his command.
This is a typical small village in the south of the Yangtze River, the village is surrounded by clear water, the scenery is pleasant, but now Wang Ding's eyes are a tragic scene of hell on earth.
The house that is still burning is full of corpses of ordinary people who have been shot by devils, lying on the intersection, seemingly being pulled out of the house by devils and shot directly, and some families are all killed by devils, and devils are so mad that even the gray-haired old man and the children who are less than one year old and are still waiting to be fed do not let go.
The more they entered the village, the more shocking the scene became, and they came to a large clearing in the middle of the village, where they found a pile of corpses.
From a distance, it looks like a tall mountain of corpses, the corpses of all kinds of men, women and children are piled up in all directions, and the blood of those innocent people has gathered in a small stream underground, which is flowing outside, as if to indict the atrocities of those devils and beasts just now.
This kind of miserable scene made Wang Ding seem to have suddenly returned to the hell of the Yama Palace, he had heard some atrocities of devils on the battlefield in Shanghai before, and this time he witnessed this scene with his own eyes, he was a little anxious and angry.
Suddenly, a scout brother screamed, and Wang Ding looked back to take a closer look, only to see that a scout brother's trouser leg was grabbed by a woman's hand sticking out of the pile of corpses.
Wang Ding immediately took his brothers over and pulled the woman out of the pile of corpses.
This is a young woman, not so much a woman, but actually a childish little girl.
It seemed that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and a bowl-sized hole in her thin body that had been pierced by a devil's machine gun bullet was still bleeding out.
Her body kept trembling in Wang Ding's arms, obviously the fear of the previous massacre made the little girl so nervous and uneasy, that after being pulled out by Wang Ding, she still looked at these people in the uniform of the national army with suspicion and fear.
Wang Ding bandaged the little girl with an emergency medical kit and comforted the little girl with kind words.
The little girl's mood finally stabilized a little, and from her weak, intermittent narration, Wang Dingcai barely understood a little bit of the situation of this murderer.
It turned out that there were only more than 20 people in this group of devils, and they suddenly broke into this quiet Jiangnan village in the middle of the night, and without saying a word, they drove the people out of the house, and killed anyone they saw.
Several young women were also killed by these beasts, this little girl was shot in the abdomen by the devil's machine gun bullet and fell unconscious, until Wang Ding and they came, she woke up, instinctively heard someone outside, regardless of who came, she grabbed the trouser leg of a national scout brother. t1706231537:
