Chapter 304 Big Gamble (Part 2)
(... The Japanese were cruel enough to the wounded when they were defeated. The wounded people who could not be evacuated in an emergency were generally killed. In fact, the Japanese were not as tough as they said. When they were defeated, I saw that more wounded people were executed than suicide... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")
A traffic boat came over, is that... Is Chief Cao leaving? Each of the officers and soldiers on the position felt a sense of loss, but at the same time they seemed to feel relieved: Can a general who fought with the enemy side by side with the soldiers and fights bayonets in his life meet the second one? Chief Cao should evacuate and evacuate to a safe place, because the War of Resistance is not a battle, and he may have to fight his grandson's generation...
There were only two people on the traffic boat, but they brought a box of bullets and two boxes of grenades! Cheers suddenly rang out on the position, there were bullets and grenades, so there were no need to rush into hell like that! Who would really hope that they would be beaten into a sieve and then squeezed into the pile of corpses and were trampled into meat sauce! Some soldiers suddenly choked up...[]
Chief Cao is here!? The two messengers were overjoyed: as long as Cao Xiaomin is found, each of them can get a hundred dollars in the ocean and they will become heroes overnight!
"General Li has ordered a full-scale counterattack. He originally thought the Japanese were going to retreat, but he didn't expect that the Japanese were obsessed with it and were actually soaked in the water to fight. Chief Li said that this time he would wipe out the Hotan Detachment to avenge the Fifty-Seventh Army!" The information brought by the two messengers made the entire position cheer. On the opposite side, the Japanese, who were already hesitant between advancing and retreating, suddenly heard the national army cheering on the top of the slope, and they quickly made a decision: run away!
"What? Let me leave at this time? Let me leave for a big counterattack?...You go back and tell Da Li that my mother has been withstood for half a day and waited for a counterattack. Let me leave. Please ask your brothers if you agree??" Cao Xiaomin said something, and the soldiers around him said in unison: "Don't agree! Chief Cao takes us back!"
The body was extremely tired, and the deep bayonet wound was no longer hurt, but it was just twitching rhythmically inside; all other wounds seemed to be flooding, no longer hurting at a little bit, but a piece of it. Although it was no longer hot, it was numb; the wounds everywhere should be worsening. The same should be true for everyone around him. Cao Xiaomin looked at the group of people who survived the hell-style hand-to-hand combat. Everyone was very excited, but they might fall after this force!
At this time, you must not fall down. The only way to attack is to attack. Even if you try your best to the last breath, you must attack! Cao Xiaomin personally pressed the bullet into the magazine and then loaded the spare bullet: "Are you ready?? Get ready to attack!"
On a lonely boat, two machine guns were ready, and the others spread out on both sides of the boat. This lonely army, who was still struggling to support the moment before, began a counterattack at this moment!
There were no generals in the trenches, only soldiers! Cao Xiaomin walked in the team with a rifle like an ordinary soldier. There were less than one platoon of people, but they lined up in a row and pressed towards the Japanese!
The Chinese people actually counterattacked!? They came over!? The Japanese on the opposite side were shocked when they saw this scene. They had just assembled and prepared to leave... "Go away! The reinforcements of the Chinese people are here..." I don't know who started to coax them first, but a group of Japanese suddenly started shouting in Minnan dialect and fled in panic... Hundreds of Japanese were chased and beaten by more than 20 national troops!
Counterattack! Counterattack!… The horn of the counterattack boiled the cold water swamp!
"Diddiddiddiddiddid~~" A burst of inspiring charge trumpet sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the National Army who were shaking in groups of three or three on several small slopes around began to charge against the Japanese. Under the slope where the trumpet sound came, the Japanese who were frightened and lost their souls began to flee backwards. They were surprised to find that there was only one person standing on the slope, blowing the trumpet...
Faced with the counterattack of few national troops, the Japanese still did not dare to face it. They also found that the water level was rising faster and faster. In the distance of the vast water marsh, there were so many small black spots approaching - it must be a ship. When moving with his legs in the water, he had no ability to fight back at all! Every Japanese were racing against time, regardless of the national army they were chasing behind them, because most of the people who counterattacked had no bullets, they wanted to escape faster than others...
An ugly scene was staged on the rubber boats that served as material supplement stations and the wounded resettlement sites: the Japanese in charge ordered the soldiers to kill the wounded and throw them into the water, select the strongest soldiers on the same boat, and row them desperately... The water surface was filled with corpses - the bodies of the Japanese wounded!
"Uncle San! Don't throw me away... save me!" A young wounded man held the rubber boat desperately, but refused to go down... "Baga!" The commander pulled out his samurai sword and raised it high... "Bang!" With a gunshot, the short Japanese commander was robbed and collapsed!
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them: Although there were situations in the Japanese army, it was all about the Japanese. The Chinese soldiers of the Hatan Detachment did not dare to act wildly at their authentic Japanese officers, but now someone shot and killed the officer!
"I said, listen well, these Japanese have never really regarded us as Japanese. Let's ask ourselves, are you Japanese?!" The third uncle of the young soldier said loudly in Minnan dialect: "There are hundreds of brothers here, and there are only six small rubber boats. Who can escape? Who can escape!... We're anyway!"
"They won't let us go! We're in Nanjing..." A soldier suddenly started crying...
"Who told you that you were so stupid? Who told you to do anything in Nanjing? We just said that we were recruited from Taiwan and did nothing!" The veteran said, "Everyone vowed to keep the secret, and then we will kill all the Japanese who can catch!"
Several Japanese officers who served as clerks and deputys and trained instructors did not dare to move. They were afraid of angering other Taiwanese soldiers. At this time, these officers who did not listen to Minnan dialect were still dazed there. They suddenly saw the soldiers who had been tamed turn their heads and rushed towards them... Under the fear of the tide and death, the Hatan Detachment bombed the battalion! Some of the troops behind were attacking and killing the Japanese officers, some attacked each other in order to seize transportation, and some suddenly became mentally lost and shot...
Cao Xiaomin and his more than 20 people were chasing their opponents desperately, killing the Japanese who were falling behind with one gun. Suddenly, they saw the Japanese in front of them in chaos, blood light burst out, and the Japanese were fighting themselves!
"Kill!" Encourage yourself. The trumpeter who came down from the top of the slope killed the last Japanese with a bayonet. This group of Japanese were all wounded. They were all dead and were already dying by their partners when they were thrown in the water and waiting for him to arrive... So what if they were dying? Can they be merciful? Can they save them? Fart! Can they be worthy of their brothers who were not cold on the top of the slope? No matter how many trumpeters, they were so angry that their eyes were red...
A special unit that was hated to the core but was afraid of in the eyes of various departments of the National Army. The Japanese Hatan Detachment suddenly collapsed! When the vanguard troops of the temporarily 99th Division arrived on a boat, they were at a loss by the battle scene in front of them...
"Sir, I am the squad leader of the cooking squad of the 8th Company of the 3rd Battalion, the Fourth Detachment of the Guerrilla Corps. Now I am handing over the captives..." A veteran carried several rifles and held a fireboat in his hand to capture more than 30 Japanese prisoners alive, but judging from his posture, he probably couldn't even shoot a gun... "Sir, I am the trumpet blower of the Fifth Regiment. I killed eighteen Japanese and twenty-five prisoners..." "Sir, I have captured nine of them..." "Sir, don't kill them, I saw them killing the Japanese officers with my own eyes. They are also Chinese..."...
Mo Shucai, who was the first to fight in the front team, suddenly realized that they were not here to fight at all. They were here to receive prisoners and pick up the officers and soldiers who were already exhausted onto the ship! Since the Japanese have collapsed, what are you waiting for? Going forward at full speed! Mo Shucai ordered a small fleet to disperse to meet the brothers everywhere, and the others just row to the south like rowing...
Mo Shucai's troops did not catch up with the Japanese troops until half an hour later - those unchallenged Japanese ships. The fleets that bit the Japanese ships lined up, and the machine guns on the bow could not stop shooting. You could see blood mist rising from the dense Japanese ships. The Japanese on the ship spent time throwing the bodies outside the ship, but few people fought back! - The Hatan Detachment had become a remnant soldier who was beaten to the point of fighting!
"What!? It's like that!" Li Tianhao was stunned for a while after receiving the battle report in front. It was not that he had never seen the bombing camp, but he had never seen the Japanese troops bombing camp!... Hell! His big counterattack was to fight to kill the enemy and kill 10,000 and lose 7,000 by himself. He planned to use a bloody battle to open up the way for his promotion... How could it be like this? Then who did the credit for this battle? Mine still...
"Damn it! The Japanese are bombing the camp! No matter what formation they are, they will all be dispersed and rolled over!..." Li Tianhao hurriedly ordered: 'Also, the Japanese detachment who surrendered to the Hatan Detachment, ask if they are Taiwanese, if they are, don't kill them, keep them all!..." Only in this way, only this move can be used to get more credit. After all, the prisoners of each unit will be concentrated in their hands, and it will be difficult to tell whose achievements will be clear... The National Army has not captured so many Japanese in prison since the war started!?
On the endless water swamp, you can see half of the Japanese who are trekking out of the water from afar. They have already soaked their waists. They can't fight at all. On the grasshopper boats, the officers and soldiers of the National Army waited for the rush close enough before firing. This is a massacre!... "Damn it, it's too cruel!? Didn't I order not to kill prisoners..." Li Tianhao cursed and felt relieved...
