It was the darkest and quietest time before dawn, but the whole village suddenly became noisy. Before the sleeping villagers could figure out what was going on, the door was suddenly kicked open, and soon the Japanese soldiers were like wolves and tigers.
Rushing in like a tide, these beasts, inferior to animals, robbed things they saw, killed men they saw, and raped women they saw.
There is a low-lying land at the east end of the village. The low-lying land is covered with wormwood that is taller than a person.
The remnants of the 672nd Regiment of the Northeastern Army are now hiding in this depression, but there are only about 20 people left in the large group of more than 2,000 people, and most of them are still injured.
Yangzhou, which was guarded by the 672nd Regiment, had been lost as early as yesterday.
Although General Tang sent an urgent telegram at noon yesterday, saying that reinforcements were on the way, and asked the 672nd Regiment to persist until dark on December 14th, which is dark today, unfortunately, when the 672nd Regiment received the telegram,
There are less than 300 people left in the whole regiment, and the ammunition has been basically exhausted.
After fierce fighting until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Yangzhou finally fell, with only a dozen guards protecting the regiment leader Liu Yi as he broke out of the siege.
Seeing that the Japanese troops were burning, killing and looting in Zhuangzi in front, and all the villagers in Zhuangzi were moaning and struggling in a pool of blood, Captain Liu Yi stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, fight with these stupid little devils!"
"Fight, fight, but it's too late!"
"Kill these bastards!"
"It's his uncle's fault, kill them!"
The remaining twenty or so guards immediately stood up and responded loudly.
The departure of too many comrades-in-arms has broken the hearts of these men, and made them no longer afraid of death, and even looked forward to death. Originally, brothers who stirred up the trouble in the same pot all fought one after another.
If you die, what’s the point of just living on your own? It’s better to spend all your time!
Liu Yi picked up the Czech style and pointed it at the group of Japanese soldiers standing at the entrance of the village. The two dozen soldiers behind him also raised their rifles and fired. The group of Japanese soldiers standing at the entrance of the village were caught off guard and were immediately attacked.
Several of them fell down, but the remaining Japs were very alert and hid behind a big tree at the entrance of the village.
Soon, the Japanese troops who were on alert in and around Zhuangzi got wind of the situation and arrived.
After a brief but fierce exchange of fire, Liu Yi and the others quickly ran out of bullets. When the Japanese army discovered that their opponents suddenly stopped shooting, they quickly guessed the clues and started shouting frantically to come and capture them alive.
In the darkness, Liu Yi smiled silently and immediately took out a domestically made hand grenade.
The remaining less than twenty soldiers also took out the last grenade, and already held the ring with their other hand. The God of Death was waving to them in front, but the expressions on the faces of these iron-blooded warriors looked so calm. They were soldiers.
, Soldiers have their own dignity as soldiers. There are some things that they do not hesitate to defend with their lives!
The footsteps of the Japanese army were getting closer and closer, and the proud and ferocious laughter became louder and louder.
By the firelight in the village, the bayonets on the Japanese army's 38th cover were shining brightly. Liu Yi and the remaining less than twenty soldiers suddenly looked back, stared deeply toward the northeast, and then turned around.
Just when they were about to fire grenades and pounce on the Japanese to kill them all, a gunshot suddenly sounded from behind.
Liu Yi and the soldiers were stunned. Where was this... shooting?
Yue Weihan stood at attention and saluted: "Baoshan Regiment, Central Military Academy Teaching Corps of the National Revolutionary Army, Yue Weihan!"
This shows the difference between the local armies and the Central Army. When officers of the same rank in the local armies such as the Northeastern Army, Northwest Army, and Sichuan Army meet, they will definitely clasp their fists and bow, while the officers of the Central Army will stand at attention and salute.
"It turns out to be Commander Yue, whose name I have admired for a long time." Liu Yi couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he heard this.
The faces of the dozen or so defeated soldiers behind Liu Yi suddenly showed a strange look. They had been famous for Yue Weihan for a long time. Regarding the many "great achievements" of this legendary commander, nearly 180 divisions of the National Revolutionary Army were
There are two million people, I'm afraid everyone can explain it as clearly as possible.
What I didn't say is that for such a good man, there is only one word - surrender.
Yue Weihan frowned and said: "Captain Liu, isn't your 672nd regiment in Yangzhou? Why..."
"Alas, Liu is incompetent, and Yangzhou has been lost." Liu Yi said and hung his head in shame. Although he had tried his best, the 672nd regiment had been reduced from more than 2,000 people to only a dozen people.
No matter what, Yangzhou will always be lost from Liu Yi's hands. As a soldier, this will be a shame that he will never wash away in his life.
"Yangzhou has been lost?" Yue Weihan suddenly became stern when he heard this. Things are a bit tricky now.
Once Yangzhou is lost, the Japanese Chongteng Detachment and the 104th Regiment of the 13th Division can head west towards Pukou. Once Pukou is lost, the hundreds of thousands of national troops and 600,000 to 700,000 refugees trapped in Nanjing will suddenly become a turtle in the urn! How can this be done?
Not the worst thing, but what Yue Weihan was most worried about was that the news of the fall of Yangzhou would shake the determination of the hundreds of thousands of defenders in Nanjing!
Once the senior generals in Nanjing take the lead in escaping, and once the determination of the hundreds of thousands of national troops in Nanjing is shaken, and they repeat the historical tragedy of giving up resistance, throwing down their weapons and blending in with the refugees, the Japanese army will definitely hunt for prisoners of war and will definitely inflict heavy losses on innocent people.
Civilians bring disaster, so the Nanjing Massacre may still be unavoidable!
