The scene that happened in the middle of the Yangtze River did not escape the eyes of Xu Rui and others.
Seeing the Japs on the gunboats and armed merchant ships pushing the cannons and other heavy equipment loaded on the boats into the river, Xu Rui's lips immediately curled up into a sneer, and the Japs finally came back to help.
The veteran couldn't hide his shock and looked back at Xu Rui deeply.
Xu Rui glanced at the veteran and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"How can you be so sure that Chiaki Shigeto, an old devil, will definitely be with his headquarters?" The veteran frowned and said in confusion, "What if he has already crossed the river with the large army, how can your entire plan be changed?" Are you going to be in trouble?"
Xu Rui smiled happily and said: "There is no way to soak in the soup. Even if the old devil Shigeto Chiaki has crossed the river, he can only return to help obediently. This is because the technical equipment left in Jiangbei is his ** **, unless he doesn’t want to live anymore, otherwise, he can only lead the army to come back for reinforcements, hehe.”
The veteran was awe-inspiring when he heard this. Are these technical equipment the weapons of Shigeto Chiaki
Turning his head to look at the pier, the veteran saw the raging fire rising into the sky.
Just now, the veteran didn't understand why Xu Rui ordered the burning of technical equipment that could not be taken away.
You must know that these technical equipment are treasures. Whether they are military radios, engineering equipment, artillery or artillery observation equipment, they are all treasures that are hard to buy. Not to mention the medical equipment and a large number of medicines in the two Japanese field hospitals. , those are really life-saving treasures.
If you can't take these treasures away, you can just use the same old trick and find a place to bury them, so why do you have to burn them
But now, the veteran understands that this is Xu Rui's design. This is basically to force the Japanese infantry who have crossed the river to return for reinforcements. Moreover, the veteran seriously doubts that the fire is also a lie. Xu Rui only I'm afraid that I had already ordered the technical equipment to be hidden.
When the veteran looked back, he saw a dozen armed merchant ships loaded with Taiwanese Japanese invaders. Escorted by four gunboats also loaded with Japanese invaders, they rushed toward the Nantong Pier in Jiangbei. Apparently, including Shigeto Chiaki, , none of the devils realized that half of their feet had stepped into the gate of hell!
Through the field of vision of the telescope, the veteran can even feel the fatigue and confusion of the Japanese gunboats and the Taiwanese Japanese invaders on the armed merchant ships. The veteran can't help but feel inexplicable sadness for them. Although these Taiwanese Japanese invaders are hateful, they are still Chinese after all. , we are also compatriots after all.
After a while, these Taiwanese traitors will be shot and slaughtered like pigs and sheep by twenty Type 92 heavy machine guns spread out in a row on the heavy machine gun position. After a while, the corpses of these Taiwanese traitors will lie all over the place. The river beach, and their blood, will also dye the entire river beach, and even the entire Yangtze River, red.
(Dividing line)
As a corporal in the 2nd Squadron of the 4th Squadron of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of Taiwan, Li Bian had no idea what was going on. It seemed that after he returned to Nantong from Jingjiang, everything went into chaos. First, they marched more than 200 miles to Nantong. Before they could catch their breath, they rushed overnight to storm the Nantong Pier.
Although they successfully captured the dock in the end, they had to cross the Yangtze River southward.
Then, just as they set foot on the land on the south bank of the Yangtze River, before they had time to take a breath, they immediately received an order from the detachment headquarters, asking them to board the ship immediately and return to the north of the Yangtze River.
After receiving the order, not only Li Bian cursed his mother in his heart, but also the entire squad and even the entire brigade of soldiers. What on earth was going on
However, everyone only dared to curse in their hearts, but no one dared to curse publicly.
Because those fierce Japanese officers are by their side. In the Taiwan garrison, also known as the Chongteng detachment, all officers above the rank of sergeant are Japanese. In the eyes of these Japanese officers, they Taiwanese are just inferiors. During training, these officers beat and scolded them and did not treat them as human beings at all.
However, Li Bian did not hate Japan for borrowing officers, but he hated the mainland people.
Man is really a very strange creature. For example, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all the unequal treaties that Chairman Chiang wanted to abolish but did not dare to abolish were abrogated by the Communist Party of China. As a result, they attracted brutal blockades and sanctions from the Western powers. At this time, New China is obviously a victim, but some unreasonable people insist on saying that China is doing something wrong. They always say, why do you have no friends in China? Why is the Western world blocking you? It’s just that you Chinese people are on the wrong team.
According to the divine logic of these people, China should continue to be governed by Chairman Chiang. The unequal treaties imposed on us by the West should be maintained. We should please the West and continue to be slaves to the West. Our descendants should bear the burden when they are born. They incurred huge debts that they would never be able to repay in their lifetime.
Li Bian also adheres to this kind of divine logic, so he hates the mainland people. The Japanese want to rule the mainland, why don't you mainlanders let it go? You see, we Taiwanese should enjoy being imperial citizens, and wouldn’t it be quite good? Why do you mainlanders resist the imperial army? Resist the imperial army and you will die.
These damn mainland people, Li Bian thought bitterly, don't let me catch you.
Li Bian picked up the 38-year-old cover and carried his backpack, mixed in with the rolling tide of soldiers, and gathered at the Fushan Pier. At this time, the water level of the Yangtze River had ebbed, so the navy's transport ships could not dock. In addition, the Fushan Town's The dock facilities had been severely damaged in previous battles, so Li Bian and the others could only wade into the boat.
This was really a difficult journey. As soon as I stepped into the river beach, the mud immediately reached my knees.
Fortunately, this stretch of river beach was not too long, and in the end Li Bian followed the entire team of comrades on board the boat.
Then, the transport ship converted from an armed merchant ship began to turn around and slowly sailed to the Nantong Wharf in the north of the Yangtze River.
Only then did Li Bian have the mood to follow his comrades in the same team to the side of the deck, and then look towards the Nantong Pier in the north of the Yangtze River. Looking up, he saw several huge mushroom clouds rising over the Nantong Pier. In addition, there were fierce gunshots and explosions.
In addition, they also vaguely saw someone on the river beach in Jiangbei.
Because the distance was too far and they didn't have telescopes, they couldn't see clearly.
However, after crossing the center of the river, Li Bian and the others gradually saw it clearly.
After seeing clearly, Li Bian and the others couldn't believe their eyes.
God, Lord Guan, Mother Mazu, how is that possible? How can it be
Li Bian and others were horrified to see that the artillery, engineers, medical soldiers and staff of the headquarters who had not yet crossed the river had been driven to the river beach by the Chinese army. These poor guys had fallen into the mud of the river beach. In the middle of the country, there was nowhere to hide and no way to escape. We could only cry and fight under the guns of the Chinese army.
The tragic scene unfolding in front of him made Li Bian extremely confused. Hadn't the Chinese army already crossed the river
Why are there still Chinese troops in Jiangbei? Also, how did these Chinese military troops get close to the dock? Could it be that the Japanese troops who stayed in Jiangbei were all dead, so they didn't send any guard troops around
Li Bian couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to. Why is this happening
However, Li Bian is just a low-level soldier, so he doesn't need to think about it at all.
With a long whistle, the transport, which was converted from an armed merchant ship, ran aground. At this time, it was still at least a thousand meters away from the river bank.
The squad leader and three sergeants borrowed from Japan were already walking back from the bow of the ship, driving down the Taiwanese soldiers clustered on the side of the ship like ducks.
Yes, the officers borrowed from Japan asked them to wade into the water to attack the Chinese army in Jiangbei and recapture the dock. Although most of the technical equipment on the dock had been burned, and there were very few technical arms left in Jiangbei. Li Bian felt that, Even if we take back the dock now, I'm afraid we won't be able to get the equipment back.
However, the order from the headquarters was still to recapture the dock.
Li Bian thought to himself, this was probably because it was related to the dignity of the imperial army. How could the majestic Japanese imperial army be defeated by the Chinese
"Hey, get off the boat, get off the boat quickly, get off the boat, everyone get off the boat!" Captain Yamada appeared next to Li Bian with a strong Shizuoka accent, then reached out and patted Li Bian's helmet hard, and Li Bian quickly bowed. He said "Hai", then followed the fellow villager over the side of the ship and climbed up the rope ladder with Sanba Dagai on his arm.
There were three small boats moored under the rope ladder. Three sergeant commanders were standing on the bow of the boat, supervising the Taiwanese soldiers getting on the boat with cold eyes. After the boat was filled with people, the oarsmen immediately began to paddle towards the river beach ahead.
However, the boat was not even a hundred meters away when it ran aground on the riverside.
"Go, get off the boat, get off the boat quickly, grab the beach, grab the beach and attack, attack..."
The sergeant commander roared loudly and jumped into the river first with a bayonet in hand.
"Kill..." Li Bian yelled, and then he climbed over the side of the boat with a bayonet in his hand, and jumped into the river. With a pop, the river water was up to the top of his thighs, and he was not even two feet away. As soon as he took a step, the cold river water poured into his military boots and wet his pants, and his steps immediately became heavier.
However, what made Li Bian feel even more uncomfortable was the mud beneath his feet.
Beneath the turbid water lies calf-deep mud.
Moreover, the closer he got to the shore, the thicker the mud was under his feet. When Li Bian walked out of the waterline, he found that the mud was already up to his knees. Every step forward required more effort than usual. The situation reminded Li Bian of the time when he was growing rice in the paddy fields when he was a child. It was a gray memory.
The only good thing is that they were not attacked.
Seeing the Japanese army's large-scale beach landing, the Chinese soldiers who had been standing on the shore and firing guns withdrew one after another. In the blink of an eye, they were gone. However, at this time, Li Bian and the others also saw clearly The tragic scene on the river beach saw thousands of artillerymen, engineers and staff huddled in the mud, shivering. Most of them had been injured, and the blood flowing from their bodies was almost stained red. The entire river beach. (To be continued.)
