Chapter 107 How to Decide
"Damn it! Those damned Japanese are using our brothers as cannon fodder again!"
"If you are afraid of street fighting, let us take the lead!"
"Damn it! We are not the ones who get to eat the meat, but we are the ones who get to die!"
"This guy is really not a human being!"
Jia Yutong, commander of the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Army, looked at the Locust Army through the telescope, trembling and crouching, holding his gun in front.
The Japs kept urging them from behind, almost putting bayonets on the brothers' buttocks, urging them to die.
"brothers!"
"We are all descendants of Jin Province!"
"We can't get out of Yi County anymore. We are all going to die here today!"
"Don't even think about surrendering. As long as we put down our guns, we'll be lambs to be slaughtered!"
"It is better to die gloriously in battle than to be tortured to death by the devils!"
"The folks will think well of us!"
"We will still have people worshipping us!"
"So! What should we do!?"
Song Xiong, commander of the 17th Division, stood at the entrance of the command department, staring at the more than 2,000 people below and shouted.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers' faces were filled with anger and they shouted loudly: "Kill!"
He was so full of energy that even if he died, he would take a few Japanese soldiers with him.
The land of Yan and Zhao has been home to many generous and tragic people since ancient times!
There has never been a shortage of men on this land who are willing to shed their blood to defend their country!
Without their commander telling them to do anything, the soldiers were ready to die...
……
……
Rongcheng.
"Master! It's bad, Master!"
"Yi County...Yi County has been occupied by the devils!"
"The Seventeenth Division... The Seventeenth Division is all finished..."
The communications officer looked at the telegram in front of him with a dull look and a face full of disbelief.
He hurriedly handed it to the division commander Ge Wenhong and said with a heart full of grief and indignation.
"what?!"
"Master Song...Master Song and the others..."
"Sacrificed his life for his country..."
Ge Wenhong quickly scanned the telegram, sadness welling up in his eyes, and he choked with sobs.
He turned around and slammed his fist on the table.
"Alas, Old Song... is a real man!"
"What a heroic death!"
The commander of the 69th Division, Wang Yuanshan, slowly took off his hat, lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.
The atmosphere in the headquarters also became depressed.
yes……
Will the ending of the 17th Division be our ending...
Just when everyone was feeling sad about the tragic ending of the 17th Division.
"Division Commander, Commander Wang! The Japanese artillery fire is too fierce!"
"The brothers suffered heavy casualties!"
"The city wall has been blown up by the devils!"
"Brothers, we can no longer hold on!"
"Master, why hasn't the support arrived yet, Master!"
A regimental commander of the 72nd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was covered in blood and was supported by his men as he came in crying.
This dealt a further blow to the already low morale...
The Japs acted like beasts this time and their heavy artillery bombardment never stopped.
However, the range of our artillery could not reach the Japanese heavy artillery positions.
As soon as the only dozen or so artillery pieces opened fire, they were destroyed by the Japanese heavy artillery.
The Japanese mortars kept firing at the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's heavy machine guns.
The heavy machine gun position that opened fire first fell silent after only a few shots.
As a result, the front-line commanders did not dare to let other heavy machine gun positions open fire.
It's really uncomfortable to be beaten passively...
At this moment, the Japs have already broken through the inner city's defense line.
"Damn it! The Japanese are crazy. Why is their attack so swift and fierce this time?"
"They are determined to take down our Rongcheng!"
"The commander-in-chief sent the 29th and 36th divisions to support us, but these two bastards are so slow!"
"The commander-in-chief told us to hold out for two days, and it's already been four days, and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet!"
"If I can get back alive, I will ask the commander-in-chief to kill these two bastards!"
The commander of the 72nd Division, Ge Wenhong, cursed angrily.
As the Japanese invaders were coming with such force, the 29th and 36th Divisions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army rushed to support Rongcheng after receiving orders from the commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
However, when we were 35 kilometers away from Rongcheng, we heard that Rongcheng was about to be captured by the Japanese.
Moreover, Yi County has been occupied by the Japanese, and the main force of the 9th Brigade and tens of thousands of Locust Army troops are heading towards Rongcheng.
How could they stop the Japanese with just two divisions and more than 20,000 people?
Moreover, the Japanese used heavy artillery to clear the way this time, so we would be dead if we went up there.
The two division commanders couldn't help but recall their "glorious history" in which tens of thousands of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops were chased by a large battalion of Japanese invaders.
Standing still.
"Send a telegram to the 29th and 36th Divisions, asking them to quickly support Rongcheng!"
“Once Rong City is broken, the two of them won’t be able to get away!”
"Even if the commander-in-chief doesn't shoot them, he will punish them severely!"
Wang Yuanshan, commander of the 69th Division, ordered.
"Brother Ge, send someone to blow up the baggage train in Rong City while there's still time!"
"Move what can be moved quickly, and don't leave what can't be taken away to the devils!"
"Especially the 50 tons of food in Rongcheng. We can't leave it to the devils even if we have to burn it!"
The commander of the 69th Division, Wang Yuanshan, frowned, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he made up his mind.
"what?!"
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid I need to ask the commander-in-chief for instructions..."
"This Rong City is half of the Commander-in-Chief's hard work over the years."
The commander of the 72nd Division, Ge Wenhong, said in surprise.
The commander-in-chief has put in a lot of effort in Rong City. If we don’t ask for permission, it will all be blown up.
This……
I'm afraid that even if they win the battle, they will still be shot...
But what Wang Yuanshan said does make sense...
Even if two divisions of reinforcement arrived, Rongcheng was still facing the siege of an entire brigade of Japanese invaders, plus tens of thousands of Japanese traitors.
To keep...
It's difficult...
If they are not destroyed, the Japanese will get these supplies and use them to fight the Chinese...
How to decide...
"Masters, two Masters!"
"coming!"
"The 29th and 36th Divisions are coming!"
"They're in the north of the city!"
Just when the two were hesitating, their staff officer came to report.
After four days of waiting, reinforcements finally arrived...
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief...
"Haha, great, even if we can't defeat the devils!"
"It can delay it for a while longer!"
"Send another telegram to the commander-in-chief, requesting more reinforcements!"
"The devils have heavy artillery, and our four divisions cannot defend Rongcheng!"
"Tell the commander-in-chief to send troops to help us surround this damn Ninth Brigade!"
"Haha, I see hope!"
The commander of the 72nd Division, Ge Wenhong, held Wang Yuanshan's hand tightly and laughed.
The two of them couldn't help but be happy. Rongcheng was temporarily safe...
outside the city.
Toru Osawa was still observing the Japanese charge through the telescope.
"Yoshi! Yoshi!"
"Rongcheng is too vulnerable"
"Order the troops to retreat!"
"Our mission is only to besiege the city, not to break it!"
"The Chinese army really has no combat effectiveness at all!"
"Completely crushed by the locust army!"
"Send a message to General Shinozuka, our troops have completed the encirclement of Rongcheng!"
"More than half of the defenders in the city have been killed or wounded."
"My Ninth Brigade has accomplished General Shinozuka's stated objectives."
Ozawa Toru was very happy. This battle was so easy to win.
