Wang Hengyue looked at the battle report in his hand and carefully placed it on the desk in front of him: "Let's get started!"
Start - attack!
On May 28, 1937, after a long period of bombing, the Chinese Army began to advance rapidly towards Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
At the forefront was the Seventh Army.
This torrent, jointly commanded by Major General Rao Guohua, the leader of the Young Heroes, swept through the land of Japan like a flood.
Attack! Attack! Attack!!!
Crush all attempts to block the squadron, and destroy all attempts to slow down the squadron's progress! All enemies will groan in despair under the crushing torrent of iron armor!
A large number of armored vehicles appeared on Tokyo's outer defense line. The Japanese tried every means to block the attack of this Chinese team. They placed almost all their available forces in the outer defense line.
The Japanese army was commanded by Japanese Army General Matsui Iwane.
Matsui Iwane knows very well what it means to stick to this place. Behind him is Tokyo, the capital of Japan...
The Japanese soldiers also know what this battle means to them. What they will face if they fail...
Even if we die, we must never let Tokyo suffer the most direct attack!
The entire Chinese team knew very well that as long as they broke through here, Tokyo would be directly exposed to the artillery attack of the Chinese team.
The most sacred war has come to an end...
However, the most brutal war has just begun...
...
Standing in his headquarters and commanding the battle, General Rao Guohua was in a calm but excited mood. No one could have guessed what the upcoming battle would be like.
"Colonel Zhang Lingfu!"
"Here!" Colonel Zhang Lingfu, the leader of the 189th Regiment, stood in front of Rao Guohua in a heroic manner.
"Tomorrow, you will lead your regiment to attack first, defeat the Japanese, and go straight to Tokyo!"
"Yes!" Zhang Lingfu replied loudly.
The decisive battle finally begins here...
The battle between the Chinese and Japanese armies outside Tokyo finally started.
There is artillery fire and gunfire everywhere. Charge, counter-charge; hold on, attack; everything is tightly wrapped up by the terrible artillery fire...
Logistics supplies are also busy. For the soldiers fighting on the front line, ensuring that there is sufficient ammunition and enough food is a very important step.
For Chen Yongcheng, a transport soldier, everything that happened on the battlefield was so curious.
The entire platform was crowded with busy people, including heavily armed soldiers, civilians and Japanese prisoners of war. The prisoners of war were scolded by other prisoners of war who were wearing red and white sleeves on their arms and holding batons. These special
The prisoners of war were all Japanese soldiers who surrendered to the "Red Army", and they were also messengers for the Chinese. As a result, they gained the right to manage their former comrades, which of course was in line with the Chinese people's wishes.
Besides these special prisoners of war, who can take care of the Japanese prisoners of war? The Chinese soldiers heard orders given in Chinese, and later in Japanese.
At this moment, a burst of violent gunfire suddenly reached Chen Yongcheng's ears. At the same time, Chen Yongcheng saw a faint white smoke rising from the right side of the cabin on the left.
Chen Yongcheng was completely stunned and looked around at his companions. His sergeant major had thrown himself to the ground like a goalkeeper, and he was loading bullets into his submachine gun!
A soldier with freckles on his face was staggering towards Chen Yongcheng, his eyes wide open and a strange and dull expression on his face.
When he walked about two meters away from Chen Yongcheng, he knelt down and opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to shout something, but no words came out, and then he fell backwards.
Following a changed whistle, another burst of gunfire tore through the surrounding silence.
Chen Yongcheng immediately fell to the ground. The sergeant major's submachine gun fired, and Chen Yongcheng saw everything on the roof being bounced into the sky. He could not take his eyes away from the young soldier with freckles on his face. Now he was motionless.
Lying not far from Chen Yongcheng.
The sergeant major yelled at the stunned soldiers: "Cover me, you idiots."
Chen Yongcheng looked at the soldier with freckles on his face. He looked more surprised than scared. Then, these Chinese soldiers finally calmly aimed their weapons towards the woods, where gunfire could still be heard from time to time.
out.
The Chinese soldiers opened fire.
The recoil of Chen Yongcheng's rifle made him regain some confidence, but he was still a little scared, and he fired two more shots. Surprisingly and extremely confidently, the sergeant major of the Chinese soldiers stood up and threw a grenade into the hut. The explosion of the grenade.
It blew up a plank on the roof of the hut.
At this time, Chen Yongcheng continued to stare at the cabin with an incredible calmness.
The sergeant major's submachine gun continued to fire. Chen Yongcheng calmly stuffed a bullet into his rifle. Just as he was about to shoot, two men in black clothes rushed out of the cabin and headed towards the forest.
Run. This is a good opportunity to shoot. Chen Yongcheng aimed at one of them and pulled the trigger...
But the bullet missed.
The sergeant major quickly rushed to the hut and opened fire on the two fleeing men, but missed them. After a while, the sergeant major signaled the Chinese soldiers to come to him, and the soldiers stood up from the ground. The sergeant major
The leader was staring at something in the ruins of the hut. When the Chinese soldiers approached, they could see a man leaning against the wall inside, with a beard covering half of his face, and his eyes were a little wet.
.
He looked at the Chinese soldiers without saying a word. The clothes he wore were not military uniforms. Chen Yongcheng noticed that his left hand was soaked with blood. More blood flowed from his collar. How much did Chen Yongcheng do?
He felt a little uncomfortable. The sergeant major's voice brought Chen Yongcheng back to reality from his trance.
He yelled: "guerrillas, alas, you should know what will happen to you!"
As he spoke, he pointed his gun at the Japanese. The Japanese looked frightened. He fell to the side and fell into the corner. Chen Yongcheng took a step back, but at this time the sergeant major of the Chinese soldiers had already put his submachine gun
He took it back. He ordered the Chinese soldiers and said:
"Keep an eye on him for me."
The Chinese soldiers carried the Japanese man outside. He groaned in pain and said some words that the Chinese soldiers could not understand!
A train was getting closer and closer to the Chinese soldiers, but this train was bound for the rear. The Chinese soldiers stopped the train. Three soldiers jumped out of the first carriage, and one of them was a captain. Soldiers
They immediately stood at attention towards him.
The captain yelled at the Chinese soldiers: "What the hell are you doing? Why are you blocking my car?"
The sergeant major explained to him that he was looking for help.
The captain pointed to his car and said: "This train is full of wounded people. I can't do anything about your problem."
The sergeant major said to the captain: "We have two wounded men here."
The captain has now walked to the side of the soldier with freckles on his face. The soldier is now lying motionless on the ground. The captain said with some regret: "Look, this man is dead."
The sergeant major hurriedly judged: "No, Captain, he is still breathing."
The captain looked carefully again: "Well, maybe, but I'm afraid he can only survive for a quarter of an hour... Well, we can take him away."
Then he called down two scrawny stretcher bearers.
The captain asked impatiently: "Where is the other one?"
The sergeant major replied: "There, by the wooden house."
The captain looked at the bearded Japanese who would not live long and asked: "Who is he?"
The sergeant major replied: "A Japanese, Captain."
The captain suddenly became furious: "That's enough. Do you think I'm going to help this son of a bitch who could shoot at the Chinese soldiers from behind us at any time? As if I haven't had enough on the front line!"
He then shouted an order to the two soldiers with him. The two soldiers immediately walked to the Japanese lying on the ground, and then there were two gunshots...
This is the first time Chen Yongcheng has seen a prisoner executed by firing squad...
...
Soon, this group of transport troops passed a large town, and there was a Chinese Air Force military airport next to the town.
Soon a Chinese reconnaissance plane flew over the convoy. The reconnaissance plane and the armored detachment escorting the Chinese soldiers communicated something via radio, and then the plane left the Chinese soldiers and flew north.
The tanks escorting the Chinese soldiers also disappeared into the dust kicked up by their tracks. The soldiers continued to drive forward along the road, and no one felt anything strange.
A few hours later, the Chinese soldiers heard several rumbling explosions in the distance. Then the explosions stopped, and then there were several more. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the convoy stopped in a small village.
The sun dazzled the eyes of the Chinese soldiers, and the temperature seemed to have risen a bit.
The soldiers walked towards the cooking cart, and the two stoves on the cart were spitting out soot. The first person to come to the cart was called by the cook to get a kettle.
At this time, the Chinese soldiers heard several explosions coming from a place that was neither too far nor too close to them. They stopped and listened for a while. Everyone seemed to be doing the same thing.
The explosions sounded again. Several times the sounds sounded far away from the Chinese soldiers.
They ran instinctively. A soldier named Lin Sen asked a veteran: "What happened?"
The veteran looked very calm and said: "Bring our weapons, we are very close to the front line!"
