After a long time, He Feiyang sighed deeply, then showed his most determined eyes, stared at Zhang Luo who was feeling uneasy, and comforted him.
Although he didn't know whether he could survive, he knew he had to give the other person hope.
Otherwise, they would be too scared before the war and become deserters, or they would be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield.
"Um!"
"I see!"
"Thank you for your comfort!"
"Company commander!"
However, Zhang Luo could still see He Feiyang's comfort, but it was because of such a word of comfort that he relaxed his body and mind, and he responded gratefully.
"Follow me tomorrow and don't scatter randomly, because I will give you enough ammunition at any time to kill the Japanese and save your life!"
Seeing Zhang Luo relaxed, He Feiyang continued to comfort him.
"Yes! I will!"
Zhang Luo nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, He Feiyang didn't say anything more and nodded slightly in response.
Then he and Zhang Luo fell into their own thoughts, thinking about their own concerns.
Then, late at night, the two of them, like other Sichuan army soldiers, fell asleep in their barracks.
On the second day, a cold drizzle enveloped the entire Songhu area in humidity, and cold water droplets continued to fall from the sky.
On October 7, 1937, the largest and most brutal Battle of Songhu in the history of the Anti-Japanese War continued to break out.
Considering that the 20th Army led by Yang Sen had just arrived on the battlefield and was unclear about the enemy situation and the terrain conditions on the battlefield, the Ninth Theater District of the National Army made a decision to temporarily divide and use the Sichuan Army's 20th Army.
The senior general who arrived on the battlefield first will command the Sichuan troops who arrived on the battlefield first to conduct operations.
When the 20th Army moved to the front line, the battle of Songhu had just entered its mid-term combat stage.
It was also the most intense, cruel, and desperate phase of the entire Songhu Battle.
Because during this period, the Japanese military command had sent reinforcements to the Songhu battlefield for the third time to support the operation, and the number of organized field divisions had reached five.
In other words, it is no longer just a small force to deal with the Japanese Marines. Especially after the Japanese troops increase in strength, the Japanese army is also preparing to launch the fourth general offensive to counterattack the national army.
Amidst the patter of rain, there was the faint sound of gunfire. He Feiyang, who was awakened by the early morning rain, and his fellow Sichuan soldiers who had already woken up, all of them had vigilance in their eyes.
look,
Because they had also received news from their superiors that the entire division of the friendly forces guarding Oba Shungo Temple had been defeated by the Kanazawa 9th Division of the Japanese A-type division, and all their troops had also been defeated.
All the positions we held were lost,
So at this time, not only could they see many defeated and scarred national army officers and soldiers withdrawing from the front line,
At the same time, you will encounter sudden air raids and bombings by the Japanese aircraft groups anytime and anywhere, as well as the arrival of the Japanese pursuit troops.
So at this time, what awaits them is about to be a life and death battle.
"Everyone, be careful and be ready to fight at any time!"
"Now we are just waiting for our commander to issue combat orders! We will go to the battlefield at any time to fight against those Japanese troops!"
"In order to survive and in order not to subjugate the country, we must defeat these devils!"
When He Feiyang looked at the miserable condition of the defeated troops who were evacuating in front of him, he felt heavy and nervous as he issued orders to his subordinates.
"Yes! Company commander!"
All the officers and soldiers immediately responded loudly.
Because the label of the Sichuan Army's 20th Army is six words: Don't be afraid of death, don't retreat.
So obeying orders is still very good.
It's just that when everyone is half nervous and half inexplicably excited,
Suddenly, in the sky above their heads, there was the sound of aircraft engines.
Buzz buzz...
Buzz buzz...
…
There was a noisy sound in the sky, like many locusts passing by, buzzing in everyone's ears.
These heart-stopping sounds of aircraft engines all convey the same message, that is, the Japanese bomber group and the escorting fighter group have arrived above their heads!
In an instant, before anyone could react, a group of more than a dozen Japanese planes rushed out of the clouds. With the violent roar of their engines, they seemed to be going crazy in the rain that gradually stopped, and suddenly rushed towards He Feiyang.
Their position swooped down!
"My turtle son..."
"The Japs' plane is coming, the Japs' plane is coming..."
"Everyone, run away! Hurry!"
Suddenly, the entire position was shocked by such a sudden air raid.
The sounds of crying, screaming, cursing, and the clattering sounds of those brave Sichuan soldiers with good marksmanship unbolting their guns and firing guns - all mixed together.
"Quickly find a bunker to hide, quickly..."
"Hurry up and hide for me!"
…
At this time, He Feiyang was quickly looking for a bunker to hide while yelling at his subordinates.
"Rumble! Rumble..."
"Rumble! Rumble..."
…
But at this time, the aerial bombs of the Japanese aircraft group were like stones connected in a line. They were continuously dropped quickly from their bomber group and fighter group, bombing the entire camp and those who were evacuating.
In the midst of a broken army.
For a moment, the entire earth was shaken by the explosion of ferocious aerial bombs, flames shot into the sky, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Then all kinds of miserable howling sounds and the shrill sounds of death in battle also started one after another.
Amidst the rumbling, incessant sounds of explosions, the rising fire like fireworks, and the roaring killing of flying shrapnel, many of the national soldiers who were blown away immediately rose up with the smoke of the explosion.
Mud, became cannon fodder and died in battle...
Some of them were Sichuan soldiers who had never experienced such a war, as well as broken troops.
The shrill screams continued to sound on the battlefield.
Da da da……
Da da da……
…
…
The sound of the Japanese fighter group's airborne machine guns firing was also accompanied by the violent explosions of aerial bombs, and quickly resounded throughout the earth.
At this moment, the camp where He Feiyang and the others were located instantly turned into a hell on earth. Many defeated soldiers were crying and trying to escape, but more of the defeated soldiers were standing dumbfounded, either suffering casualties or lying down on the ground.
On the muddy ground, I was too frightened to get up...
Rumble…
Rumble…
…
…
However, the aerial bombardment of the Japanese aircraft group
There were also the sounds of those damn Japanese fighter planes whizzing by, and the sounds of machine guns firing and killing, but there was no sign of stopping.
I haven't waited for the opportunity to go to the battlefield to fight,
He Feiyang and his Sichuan Army troops were the first to experience the fierce killing scene of the Japanese aircraft at such a close range.
