Shunliu's sacrifice made the entire ancestral hall silent.
Everyone mourned in silence.
And especially those girls who were rescued. Although they were stunned by the killing in front of them and the madness of the Japanese, Shunliu's roar told them to run away when he was seriously injured, and the unknown soldier used his body to block the bullets for them.
, they all saw it.
They cried silently one by one with grateful hearts.
But in the face of all this, they are powerless. They are women, and they are simply unable to resist the cruel invaders.
But at this moment, when everyone was grieving and remembering their comrades and saviors, a soldier hurried in and reported: "Company Commander, the Japs in the west of the village have retreated, and they are heading towards
We rushed over here."
Captain Wang frowned, "Because the Japanese in the west of the city retreated, they will bear the brunt of the impact."
There was a squadron of Japs in the west of the city. Even if they were defeated and suffered some casualties, there would still be about a hundred people. What's more, at least one small group of Japs would go to the west of the village to provide support.
And with so many Japanese soldiers retreating, can their current combat team of less than ten people really be able to withstand it?
But they can't retreat.
Because at this time, not only had they just rescued more than a hundred women, but if they withdrew, the backs of the first and second battalions of the Independent Regiment would be directly exposed.
By then, the independent regiment will be attacked from three sides, and the casualties may be even greater.
Thinking of this, Captain Wang said: "You two cover the retreat of the villagers, Wang Erzhu, Ma Fuping, Sun Erdan, Ge Qiu, Ye Feng, Lu Changsheng, you follow me and stop the Japanese."
"yes!"
Everyone responded and was about to lead the villagers to evacuate, but they didn't expect that it was already too late. The Japanese retreating troops had already arrived less than thirty meters away from the ancestral hall.
Company Commander Wang led his men to climb up the wall and shoot at the unprepared Japs. Six or seven submachine guns knocked down a dozen Japs directly.
The Japanese soldiers behind realized that there was an enemy attack and quickly found cover to shoot at Company Commander Wang and others.
The two soldiers responsible for protecting the common people were shot back by flying bullets as soon as they appeared at the gate of the ancestral hall.
The two men quickly ordered the people to retreat and reported to Company Commander Wang that the main entrance could no longer be exited.
Company Commander Wang looked back at the yard, and the adobe wall on the east side came into view.
"Blow up the wall."
"yes!"
Company Commander Wang ordered, and two soldiers carried out the order and used grenades to blow up the wall.
But at this moment, the Japanese attack became more and more fierce. They were running for their lives, reuniting with the main force, and relying on the obstacles in Xiaoyangzhuang to avoid the fire of the 88mm anti-aircraft artillery.
The power of the 88mm anti-aircraft artillery was very powerful. The Japanese army relied on courtyard walls and other bunkers to block a single shot of the 88mm anti-aircraft artillery.
So with just a few shots, the Japs' defense line was completely destroyed.
The Japanese army on the west side of the village retreated to the second line of defense, but they still could not avoid the anti-artillery attack of the 1988 Battle. Coupled with the cooperation of the mortars of the 522nd Regiment, even if the Japanese army reinforced a small group of infantry, they still could not stop Zhou Weiguo's attack.
attack.
The Japs in the west of the village once again asked Lieutenant Colonel Zhongshan for help.
Faced with such an unfavorable combat situation, Lieutenant Colonel Zhongshan immediately ordered the Japanese in the west of the village to retreat toward the center of the village and bring the hostages over to the ancestral hall.
What the Zhongshan Japs mean is that the enemy's artillery fire is superior to ours. We can use the hostages as shields, which can not only prevent the enemy's artillery bombardment, but also contain the enemy and make him use the enemy's weapon as a deterrent.
The Zhongshan Japs felt that they were so smart that they unexpectedly thought of another clever plan.
Gu Wei
But little did he know that the ancestral hall had been captured by Company Commander Wang and others, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment blew open the east wall and were evacuating with the people.
Of course, the Japanese officer in the west of the village also noticed this, and he ordered the Japanese soldiers to snatch back the hostages at all costs. Because these hostages were related to the fate of their entire Second Infantry Brigade.
In a short battle, they have discovered that their opponents are not ordinary Chinese soldiers at all. They advance and retreat in a measured manner, are decisive in killing, are not afraid of death, and have fierce firepower.
Facing such an enemy, if it weren't for the support of their bushido, they might have fled long ago.
So the Japanese squadron leader roared loudly and ordered three machine guns to suppress the firepower of Captain Wang and others, and the rest of the Japanese launched a group charge.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were shot one after another under the enemy's crazy offensive. Two of the seven people who blocked the Japanese army were killed and four were injured.
Company Commander Wang was also hit on the head by a bullet, and red blood gushes out all of a sudden.
But at this time, he had no time to bandage the wound because the Japanese had already rushed over.
Captain Wang held a submachine gun and fired wildly at the Japs. The five Japs at the front fell to the ground one after another.
But at this moment, a Japs bullet also hit his waist.
Company Commander Wang stood leaning against the door panel of the ancestral hall. He wanted to pull the trigger but found that there was no bullet in the gun.
He slowly pulled out the big knife from behind.
At this time, a Japanese soldier was about to shoot, but the Japanese officer patted him on the shoulder and made an arrogant gesture not to shoot.
The Japanese soldiers understood that at this time it was time to show their bushido spirit.
The four Japanese soldiers pulled the bolt of their guns to eject all the bullets in the guns. Then, with mocking smiles on their faces, they walked towards Company Commander Wang and said, "Our Captain Tengbei believes that you are a respectable opponent and will give you the most glorious way to die.
Died by the sword of our Imperial Japanese Army."
"Hmph! Then I'm honored, right?"
Company Commander Wang sneered, because the Japanese's arrogance could buy him more time.
He hopes to use his life to buy more time.
His head was bleeding, and the wound on his abdomen hurt so much that he could barely stand. But he had to keep fighting, even if every last drop of blood in his body was drained!
He roared and charged at the four Japanese soldiers.
Four Japanese soldiers stabbed Captain Wang with their bayonets drawn.
Captain Wang used his broadsword to deflect the bayonets of the two Japs, but the bayonets of the third and fourth Japs penetrated directly into his lower abdomen and right side of his waist.
The pain from the knife's twisting instantly made Captain Wang unable to move. However, with his tenacious willpower, he suddenly swung the knife and cut the throats of the two Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese didn't expect it, because ordinary people would be unable to move if they were stabbed by their bayonets. But they didn't expect the other party to take advantage of this and slit their throats directly.
The two Japs put down their guns, covered their necks and backed away. They fell to the ground and kicked their legs hard. They stopped moving for a moment.
"Bagaya road!"
The other two Japs were angry and stabbed Captain Wang with their bayonets again.
Company Commander Wang was unable to dodge and was directly stabbed by two bayonets.
At this moment, the heavy bleeding made Captain Wang's consciousness blurred. The knife in his hand hung weakly on the ground, and a large amount of blood was vomited from his mouth.
He looked at the gun in his abdomen and held it tightly with both hands. Because he knew that when the two knives were pulled out, the massive blood loss would instantly kill him.
But he is not afraid of death, but wants to hold on for a little longer and fight for a little more time for the people of Xiaoyangzhuang to evacuate, even if it is a few seconds! ...
