Chapter 623(1/2)
After Li Shouxin led the Mongolian soldiers away from the battlefield, other soldiers in the Yantian Brigade lost their intention to continue fighting.
However, Tada Shun's order was to continue attacking Guyang and never allow retreat.
As imperial soldiers, it is impossible for the Yantian Brigade to disobey their superiors' orders.
So the Korean regiment and the TW soldiers had no choice but to continue their attack on Guyang.
"Nearly 100,000 Japanese are surrounded by Jiangdong. The North China Front is in danger this time. Should we make plans in advance?"
Liu Jianwen said to Duan Junhao in Hokkien.
Duan Junhao looked slightly shocked,
"What do you want to do? Don't forget that our family members are still here. I advise you to give up those thoughts that you shouldn't have as soon as possible."
"well!"
Liu Jianwen sighed,
"You have heard of Jiangdong's name, right? If the Japanese fall into his hands, there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape.
I'm not talking about surrendering to the enemy or anything like that, I just want to find a reason to retreat.
You see, the Korean stick can't be beaten anymore, so it's definitely pointless for us to continue to waste it. For the sake of our family, we should withdraw!"
Duan Junhao shook his head repeatedly,
"Retreating privately will cost you your head. Even if you can escape, you will inevitably die. Don't do it!
Let's stay here and see how the war situation in the south develops. If the main force of the Japanese is wiped out, Major General Yantian will definitely not continue to attack Guyang, and we can only leave then."
"Why are you so stupid?" Liu Jianwen gritted his teeth angrily.
Duan Junhao stopped talking nonsense, straightened his military uniform and went to the front to supervise the battle.
Captain Mizumoto and Deputy Captain Li Yu of the Korean Regiment stood in the dilapidated ruins, watching the soldiers feebly attacking the Chinese army in the center of the county.
"Hashimoto-kun, the Chinese are at the end of their strength, why don't you lead the warriors to charge again!" Mizumoto said hurriedly.
Li Yu felt chills all over when he thought of the Chinese Major General's fierce sword style. He shook his head like a rattle.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the Chinese have built a complete position based on houses. If the warriors rush forward at this time, they will only lose their lives in vain. It is not worth it.
It’s better to let the mountain artillery brigade fight another round!”
Captain Mizumoto nodded helplessly.
Li Yu was already scared like this. One can imagine the morale of the Goryeo soldiers.
…
"Didi didi..."
The radio station's indicator light kept flashing, and the telegraph operator Youshu was trained to quickly record the rows of telegraph codes.
"Captain, a telegram from Ma Hongkui!"
Han Mo was already on the front line. The telegraph operator found him in a machine gun bunker.
"The Ma Jiajun has arrived at the outskirts of Guyang and is preparing to attack the Japanese army. Ma Hongkui hopes that we will launch a counterattack at the same time to disrupt the Japanese army's organization and annihilate the Yantian Brigade outside Guyang!"
Han Mo grabbed the telegram and laughed after reading it.
"Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come!
Zhang Mazi, order all capable brothers to gather together and prepare to kill the Japanese with me!"
"yes!"
After several days of fighting, more than half of the 4th Regiment suffered casualties, and only less than 1,500 brothers were still standing.
All the brothers in front of me were disgraced, and many of them had bandages on their heads and bodies.
Han Mo felt a little sad. The 4th Regiment had never suffered such a heavy loss since its establishment. Those who died were all good brothers and good soldiers. Many of them were veterans and heroes who had fought all over the country.
The eyes of the brothers were as clear as ever, and apart from a little fatigue, no fear or flinching could be seen.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Han Mo waved the sword in his hand desperately in the air several times.
"Brothers, many of you may not know that those who fought with us in the past two days are not real little devils, they are all servants. The ones who hit the hardest and charged the hardest were the Korean sticks!
Some people may ask, if they are not little devils, why do they come to China to kill our brothers and our people?"
Looking at everyone's burning eyes, Han Mo continued:
"Koryeo used to be just a vassal state of ours, our little brother, and their king was granted the title by us!
In recent years, we have had civil wars every year, which has consumed a lot of national power and the country has fallen behind! Younger brothers like Gao Li dare to shit and pee on the head of their elder brother and want to follow the Japanese to grab our land and ruin our women.
.
I want to ask, are they qualified?
I want to ask, will you agree?"
Han Mo's voice was loud and resonant, and as he kept waving his sword, it made people feel even more vaguely domineering.
"No! No!"
"I won't agree either!"
Han Mo pointed the tip of the knife in the direction of the Korean army,
"Today, we are going to use the big swords and the military thorns in our hands to tell these little guys from Korea that as little brothers, we must abide by our duties and be conscious!
Never think about the day when you will turn over and become a big brother, ever!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers raised their swords and thorns high above their heads, and everyone's eyes almost burst out of fire.
…
Shui Ben, Li Yu, Liu Jianwen, Duan Junhao, and soldiers from Gao Li and TW all heard the movement in the central position of the county. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, with confusion and some fear in their eyes.
"What are the Chinese doing? Mobilizing before war? Are they going to launch a counterattack?"
Before Li Yu's doubts could be answered, rapid gunshots and explosions suddenly came from many directions outside the city.
"Baga!" Mizumoto's reaction was the fastest,
"Chinese reinforcements have arrived, retreat! Retreat!"
The soldiers at the grassroots level had just received the order to retreat, but suddenly a violent storm of bullets came from the Chinese position confronting them.
Immediately, countless cold gleams appeared in the eyes of these soldiers.
"kill!"
Just like a volcano erupting and the sea boiling, the soldiers on the Chinese battlefield all transformed into man-eating beasts at this moment. They roared like wild beasts, ran wildly like wild beasts, and their murderous intent reached the sky!
"Da da da..."
The mg42 machine guns on various commanding heights were roaring incessantly, and the whizzing bullets seemed to be crushing all the frustrations of the past few days.
The Japanese soldiers had already received the order to retreat, and when they saw the Chinese soldiers rushing over desperately, they still couldn't muster the courage to fight, so they turned around and ran away after screaming.
"Puff puff puff..."
The Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the bunker were mowed down one after another by roaring machine gun bullets.
Gaoli Bangzi, who was shrouded in terror and coercion, could not control that much. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and ran away with their heads in their hands.
How arrogant he was before, how embarrassed he is now.
"Axi!"
Li Yu ran and cursed. He was really defeated. In the face of the instinct of survival, the commander's order was just a piece of waste paper.
…
The Ma Jiajun surrounded the east, west and north sides of Guyang County. Ma Hongkui gave an order and launched attacks on all three sides at the same time.
"kill!"
"Whoa! Whoa!"
The war horse excitedly raised its front hooves, neighed twice and then began to rush towards the enemy at top speed.
The headquarters of the Yantian Brigade is located in a shack village outside the city, surrounded by about a squadron of security forces.
Yantian never expected that reinforcements from the defenders would come from the east. He had been mainly vigilant from the south, so when he saw the Ma Jiajun cavalry covering the sky like locusts, his head was confused at that moment.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, you go first, I will lead the warriors to stop the Chinese cavalry!"
The guard squadron leader trembled, and he forced himself to pull out his command knife.
Under the protection of several brigade and regiment staff members, Yantian ran toward the county seat.
"Da da da..."
"Bang bang bang..."
