Chapter 800 The stars in the sky are shining brightly (Part 2)
Jingjing led Huang Wei and the security squad to stay in Lunan, mainly because she wanted to use the camera to record battlefield information so that she could go back and compile photo news.
Although she also joined the army on the Long March, she can be considered an old Red Army, an old Eighth Route Army, but in a powerful team such as the Seventh Red Army and the instructors, she is a scholar, a writer, a great intellectual, and a treasure in the army. She has always been in the
tight
Among the guards, there are very few opportunities to go to the line of fire and fight directly with the enemy. Now, the Japanese planes are bombing overhead. If you are not careful, you may be targeted by the Japanese planes. Jingjing has been in the army for so long, today is considered a good day.
Truly experienced the test of blood and fire.
Li Xiaoshuai led the Second Company of Guards to attract the attention of the Japanese fleet, and his feat of concealing the baggage convoy completely infected Jingjing. She originally wanted to catch up with the Second Company of Guards and take photos and interviews on the spot. Unfortunately, Li Xiaoshuai and the others were too fast and Jingjing and the others could not catch up.
.As a result, Jingjing, Huang Wei and the guard squad became a field ambulance team, and the first thing they encountered were the martyrs and wounded from the Second Guard Company.
Just now, Li Xiaoshuai and the others whipped up their horses and galloped while shooting to divert the attention of the Japanese aircraft. If this was taken into a photo or painted, it would be very magnificent. However, using cavalry to attract the Japanese aircraft is almost suicide.
The level of casualties can be imagined.
Jingjing was dressed in military uniform, with a Leica camera hanging on her chest, a leather bag slung across her body, a small pistol hanging on her waist, and the German-made submachine gun Liu Yimin gave her before departure.
Huang Wei was not wearing a military uniform. She wore a rose-colored lake silk short-sleeved upper body and a lake-blue skirt. She had a pistol given to her by Liu Yimin slung across her body and a Leica camera in her hand.
There are 12 people in the security squad assigned to Sui Jingjing. They have a crutch machine gun, the squad leader and deputy squad leader each have an 81 automatic rifle, and the other soldiers are all in the same color.
The first martyr I met was the bugler of the Second Company of the Guards. The young man was from Luxi. He looked like a big girl and was very quiet. At this moment, he fell under the horse and the small bugle fell beside him.
Jingjing, the soldiers of the first guard battalion, basically knew Jingjing. When she saw that the trumpet player, who usually blushed when he spoke, had died, Jingjing ordered the whole guard class to dismount, lift the horse's body away, and drag the trumpet player's body away.
Come out and close your eyes.
Huang Wei was different from Jingjing. Although she had written so many battlefield communications, this was actually her first time on the battlefield. When she saw the martyrs who died, she burst into tears.
After Jingjing and the soldiers arranged the trumpeter's body, she looked up and saw Huang Wei crying. After thinking about it, she asked two soldiers to escort Huang Wei to Niushan Town to join the troops there.
In the war years, people's willpower was relatively strong. Huang Wei cried for a while, then stopped crying and said to Jingjing: "I won't leave. I will rescue the wounded and conduct interviews with you."
Seeing that Huang Wei was unwilling to leave, Jingjing said good job and led Huang Wei and the soldiers towards the defense line of the First Regiment and the First Regiment in the east of Niushan Town.
Here, Jingjing and Huang Wei used their lenses and brushstrokes to record the real scenes of bloody battles between the Eighth Route Army soldiers and the Japanese invaders.
After Wang Laohu led the 1st Special Operations Squadron and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment to retreat from Baitabu, the Japanese army had fully deployed. Lu Nan was the main force of the 6th Division, with brigade and squadron as units, under the guidance of tanks and armored vehicles.
, along the highways and country roads, the rural teams attacked crazily. The Eighth Route Army blocking troops formed triangular formations with battalions, companies, and ranked units, relying on villages, green gauze tents, and ditches, without fear, and resisted tenaciously.
Jingjing and Huang Wei led the security team to hide the war horses in a green gauze tent. The two of them took photos and records, and devoted themselves to their work.
Jingjing's hidden position is easy to observe. To their left front, there is a small village where a company of a religious regiment is stationed. When the Japanese army attacked, two tanks first pressed on the anti-tank mines, and there were two loud bangs and booms.
The two tanks of the little Japanese whimpered a few times, and then they crawled there and pretended to be dead dogs. Then the Japanese infantry stepped on them and made a loud sound.
When the dust from the mine explosion cleared, Jingjing took a photo of an injured Japanese soldier lying on the ground asking for help. She took out her notebook and wrote on it: "The Japanese soldiers were in front of the village guarded by the Eighth Route Army.
Stepping on a landmine, this is the scene where Japanese tanks and soldiers were destroyed and injured by landmines planted by the Eighth Route Army."
A group of Japanese planes roared and rushed towards the small village like gamblers who were red-eyed after gambling. Fierce gunfire suddenly erupted in the village, and strings of bullets were shot into the blood-red sky rendered by the sunset.
First, a Japanese plane hit the fire net and was knocked into the air and exploded. Jingjing quickly pressed the shutter button and recorded the scene of the explosion of the Japanese plane. Huang Wei was not to be outdone, and the camera chased the plane dragging black smoke and escaping forward.
I took a few photos with my Japanese camera.
There were too many Japanese fighter planes. They dropped bombs wildly, turning the small village into a sea of flames. Jingjing pressed the shutter and recorded the atrocities of the Japanese army. She wrote in her notebook: "Crazy Japanese planes suffered losses."
Later, white phosphorus was thrown at the village
The bombs turned the once peaceful small villages into a sea of fire. Since the Japanese invasion of China, how many cities, towns, and villages have been destroyed, and how many families have been wiped out. Is this what the Japanese claim to be a collaboration between China and Japan?
Is the royal paradise a happy land?"
In the small village that had become a sea of flames and ruins, the Eighth Route Army was still fighting with the Japanese army. Jingjing's lens truly recorded each tragic scene: the little Japanese rushed into the village and started a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army.
Battle for the village. Three Eighth Route Army soldiers faced each other and rushed forward.
The Japanese soldiers had no time to load their bullets, so they raised their shining bayonets, jumped into the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and stabbed the little Japanese soldiers. In the end, three Eighth Route Army soldiers had Japanese bayonets stuck in their chests, and their own bayonets were also inserted into the little Japanese soldiers.
The chest, supported by the rifle, stood beside the low wall at the end of the village.
What was even more tragic was yet to come. A wounded member of the Eighth Route Army detonated a bag of explosives and died together with the little Japanese.
Taking such a photo, Jingjing burst into tears, leaving two soldiers to protect Huang Wei, while she led the security squad into the village for reinforcements.
The little devils had occupied part of the small village at this time, but the Eighth Route Army deployed a triangular formation. The Eighth Route Army defending the village could get strong support from the left and right wings. Although the troops suffered casualties, what kind of army was the First Regiment? That firepower, that
At the tactical level, where would the Japs be their opponents? Where would Jingjing and the others be needed for reinforcements.
The attack by Jingjing and the others immediately attracted the attention of the little Japs. A small group of Japs screamed and rushed toward Jingjing and the others.
The area was defended by the Second Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Teaching Regiment. The battalion commander saw Jingjing's reinforcements through the telescope. He was afraid that she might miss something, so he hurriedly ordered the fire support company to open fire to intercept the little Japs. He also sent a signal to order Jingjing's guard squad leader.
Protect the leader and move quickly so as not to affect the main battle.
Jingjing didn't expect that her reinforcements would lead to a reprimand from the second battalion commander. Before she could think about it, she was pulled away by the guard squad leader.
After the Eighth Route Army fighter planes arrived at the battlefield, Jingjing and Huang Wei opened their eyes wide. This was the first time they saw with their own eyes the majesty of the Eighth Route Army fighter planes fighting against the Japanese planes. When the Eighth Route Army fighter planes shot down the Japanese planes, two outstanding news
The soldiers took extremely valuable photos, and Jingjing also wrote this in her notebook
Such words: "At dusk, with the twilight rising, the Japanese planes were still wreaking havoc, dropping bombs and strafing wildly. At this time, a group of silver-white war eagles descended from the sky and pounced on the Japanese planes which were frantically dropping bombs and strafing. This is our
The fighter planes are the heroes of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Group destroying the invaders!"
After dark, there was no way to take pictures. At this time, we should have retreated quickly. But as soon as the cannons of the Eighth Route Army artillery group fired, Jingjing immediately realized that our army was about to launch a counterattack. She led Huang Wei and the guard squad on horseback and headed towards the artillery group.
Rushing in the direction of the impact point. After all, she is an old Red Army, old Eighth Route Army, and knew that after the shelling, there would be a ground-breaking armored assault by our army. She wanted to record the majestic appearance of the armored heroes.
By the time they rode to the north of the road with flashlights on, the armored group of the 1st Teaching Brigade had already launched an assault. The rolling traffic, the roar of artillery, shells, bullets, and car lights made the night look like setting off fireworks and watching lanterns on the Lantern Festival.
.
Huang Wei had never seen such a scene before. Her eyes widened and she couldn't close her mouth. She kept praising: "Mighty master, mighty master!"
Jingjing was also intoxicated, but she had seen the power of the armored assault in the Battle of Central Shandong and the Battle of Taixi, so she was not as surprised as Huang Wei. She looked at the light of the flashlight and wrote in her notebook: "Crazy
The Japanese army never dreamed of it.
As soon as it was dark, the Eighth Route Army launched an assault. Under the cover of the artillery group, the Eighth Route Army armored group launched a large-scale counterattack from the north of Longhai Road to the Japanese. The artillery group was roaring, the tanks were roaring, the motors were roaring, the machine guns were singing, and the Japanese were singing.
The end has come!”
When the armored group's assault was over, the logistics convoy arrived at Longhai Road. The stretcher team and the health team were all busy rescuing the wounded. Soon, the Eighth Route Army blocking troops withdrew one after another. Jingjing knew that she should withdraw too, but she didn't know that Tang Xingying and the others
How anxious you will be when you find out that you have left the team without permission!
Originally, Jingjing and the others were supposed to follow the First Brigade and retreat northward to catch up with Tang Xingying and the others. Who knows what this girl was thinking, but she actually headed towards Niushan Town, where she wanted to wait for the rearguard unit led by Liu Yimin, and Liu Yimin
Move north together.
As soon as the blocking troops on the east and west wings of the Eighth Route Army withdrew, the Japanese army's attack speed increased. In this battle, the Japanese army originally laid a trap to attack the Eighth Route Army from a flank and severely damage the main force of the instructor division. As a result, they deployed in advance, mobilized the army covertly, and
Planes, artillery, tanks, armored patrol cars, and trains all went into battle and fought back and forth. In the end, not only did they fail to eliminate or defeat the Eighth Route Army
The main force of the army was lost, and the main force of the 22nd Independent Mixed Regiment and the main force of the 35th Regiment were lost. A lot of fighter planes were lost. This left Peiping's Shan Shanyuan, Nanjing's Nishio Hiszo and Xuzhou's Yamashita Tomofumi and Muto
How can Zhang be willing to do so? Shanshan Yuan even got so angry that he cursed Yamashita Fengfumi in a telegram, Suematsu Shigeharu as a fool, and Inaba Shiro as a vain person, all of whom are Baga Baga.
Seeing that the fish were about to return to the sea, Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, and Shigeharu Suematsu, the commander of the 114th Division, who were in command of the former enemy, became red-eyed and ordered all units to attack together quickly to catch up with the Eighth Route Army and eliminate it.
Eighth Route Army.
By the time Liu Yimin led the Second Cavalry Regiment to withdraw to Niushan Town, the Japanese heavy artillery brigade had already arrived in an area less than ten kilometers away from Niushan Town and began to bombard Niushan Town. Moreover, I don’t know if the Japs were prepared in advance or how.
What happened was that they actually mobilized engineers to repair the bombed railway west of Hongzhuang in a short period of time. The little Japanese's armored patrol car and train started moving and rushed towards the front line of Niushan Town.
At this time, the entire battlefield was in chaos. In order to catch up with the Eighth Route Army and gain some victory, the Japanese army fired artillery and tank guns at Niushan Town, intending to keep the Eighth Route Army rear guard behind and eliminate them. Rumbling cannons were everywhere on the battlefield.
Sound and flying shrapnel.
When Liu Yimin rode into the town, he met Jingjing standing at the entrance of the town and waiting. When he looked carefully, Huang Wei was also there. Their faces were inexplicably crimson under the fire. Jingjing
Jing also asked Liu Yimin in a low voice: "Are you back?"
Liu Yimin was so angry that he opened his mouth and said: "Play the piano randomly! Who told you to stay? Leave immediately!"
Full of hope in exchange for scolding, Jingjing held back her tears and refused to stay. She saluted Liu Yimin, got on her horse, and ran forward behind Liu Yimin.
After Jingjing's death, Liu Yimin regretted it. He carefully recalled the scene when he and Tang Xingying were separated. Then he remembered that he had asked Tang Xingying to ride with her mother and tied Ping'er behind Zhao Xiaoman.
Tied behind Li Xiaoshuai, will this move cause Jingjing to have random thoughts and cause her to not follow Tang Xing?
What if Ying, Zhao Xiaoman and the headquarters personnel evacuated north and stayed in Niushan Town to wait for him? When he thought about this problem, Liu Yimin hated himself for being stupid. He didn't consider Jingjing's feelings at all. What if He'er was placed next to Jingjing?
Or would Ping'er not be tied behind Zhao Xiaoman's back but handed over directly to the first company commander, would the tragedy have been avoided?
Of course, this is just a thought that Liu Yimin had when he was blaming himself. Who can know Jingjing's true thoughts? She is a hero. Maybe she will not be like Liu Yimin's blind speculation, but will return to the battlefield without hesitation to fulfill her duties as a reporter and a soldier.
!
Liu Yimin originally planned to block the attack in Niushan Town, teach the pursuing Japs a lesson, lead them by the nose and go north, lead them into the ambush circle set up by the Fifth Teaching Brigade, eat part of it, and beat the Japs painfully.
I was afraid and did not dare to pursue the base area. But now the situation has changed, and the Japanese army will soon
During the encirclement, the artillery fire was so fierce. The Second Cavalry Regiment was all cavalry and had a big target. Once it fell into the enemy's encirclement, it would end with heavy casualties. These were elites who had fought in hundreds of battles, and Liu Yimin was not willing to let his troops lose like this. Therefore, Liu Yimin did not fight in Niushan.
Stop in the town and retreat directly north with your troops.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the railway, they saw two armored patrol cars of the Little Devils driving towards Niushan Town one after the other, their lights shining brightly. Behind the Japanese armored patrol cars, you could also see the lights of the Japanese locomotives.
Needless to say, the little devils repaired the railway and caught up.
Liu Yimin was not worried about the Japanese armored patrol vehicles stopping the troops, because the railway in Niushan Town had been demolished by the cavalry regiment. No matter how awesome the Japanese armored vehicles and trains were, they could not leave the track. However, the Japanese armored patrol cars and trains were
There are artillery, and if the troops are passing by like this, they are bound to be discovered by the Japs. If a target as big as the Second Cavalry Regiment is exposed to the firepower of the Japs' armored patrol cars and trains, the consequences can be imagined.
The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road! Liu Yimin decisively ordered the Second Cavalry Regiment to rush 500 meters eastward to avoid the fire coverage of the Japanese armored patrol vehicles, and then cross the road and retreat north.
The troops moved north, and the distance was not far away. It was said that there would not be any problems. Who knew that at this time, a roundabout infiltration unit of the Japanese army had sneaked here and ran into the Second Cavalry Regiment head-on.
Under normal circumstances, this small force of the Japanese army would not dare to provoke a force of the size of the Second Cavalry Regiment. But this is not a normal situation. As long as it can delay the retreat of the Eighth Route Army rearguard troops, even if it is only delayed for 10 minutes, the large Japanese army will
Maybe if they catch up, they can at least carry out artillery strikes. Therefore, this small Japanese force, which was only a squadron in size, actually set up machine guns and grenade launchers in the night and opened fire on the Second Cavalry Regiment.
Liu Yimin ran at the front of the team. He saw that he had run 500 meters. He was about to turn the horse's head and gallop north when he saw a flash of light in front of him. Liu Yimin quickly leaned over and clamped his legs on the horse's belly, trying to rely on speed.
Dodge bullets.
No matter how fast a person's reaction is, he can't be faster than a bullet. When he heard the rattling sound of machine guns, Liu Yimin's war horse fell to the ground.
Liu Yimin is such a good man, he never panics in the face of danger. At the moment when his horse fell to the ground, Liu Yimin flew up, jumped straight forward, then rolled on the spot and fired with his gun.
Not everyone has Liu Yimin's skills. The sudden blow caught the marching team of the Second Cavalry Regiment off guard, and the marching ranks were immediately in chaos.
While shooting, Liu Yimin ordered Chen Cunyi to command the troops to counterattack, eliminate the Japanese, and clear the bloody path.
After all, the Second Cavalry Regiment was an elite trained in the flames of war. After a period of chaos, the troops split into two groups, concentrating their firepower to flank the Japanese.
The machine gun was spitting flames on the war horse, and the grenade was fired on the war horse. The powerful firepower of the Second Cavalry Regiment beat the little devil so hard that he couldn't hold his head up. This was an encounter, and neither side had a position to rely on. Naturally, the Second Cavalry Regiment occupied it.
Cheap. The battle did not last long. When the cavalry rushed into the group of little devils, those devils could only act as headless ghosts under the saber.
Unfortunately, this attack exposed the target, and Japanese artillery fire followed. Liu Yimin urgently ordered the troops to disperse their formation, quickly cross the railway, and retreat north.
Artillery shells were exploding, war horses were neighing, the Japanese troops were firing wildly to intercept, and the Eighth Route Army was rapidly retreating north. At this moment, Liu Yimin suddenly heard Jingjing shouting, and turned around to see Huang Wei's war horse falling to the ground.
Throwing the beautiful female reporter aside.
Just as Liu Yimin was about to turn his horse around to rescue Huang Wei, he saw Jingjing jumping off the horse and running to pull Huang Wei away.
Liu Yimin shouted anxiously: "Jingjing, lie down!"
At this moment, another cannonball fell, and Jingjing pounced on Huang Wei, trying to cover Huang Wei with her own body.
By the time Liu Yimin rode up to Jingjing and Huang Wei, a piece of shrapnel had been inserted into Jingjing's back, and her clothes were dyed red with blood.
Liu Yimin picked up Jingjing and shouted three times before Jingjing opened her eyes, glanced at Liu Yimin's face, and slowly closed her eyes.
