Soon, some surviving soldiers of the 62nd Division rushed over from other places. They rushed into the ruins and only pulled out a few charred bodies.
Among the survivors of the 62nd Division, the highest ranking officer was only a deputy battalion commander. At this moment, they were still in shock.
"Vice Battalion Commander Zhang, what should we do now?”
There were only about 100 soldiers who survived. An infantry division suffered heavy losses under the Japanese's cannons.
"That's right, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, the Japanese are attacking. What should we do?”
The bewildered soldiers turned to look at the only surviving deputy battalion commander, but he was also extremely flustered and could not make up his mind.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, why don't we retreat? Our numbers aren't enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the Japanese.”
"Yes, as long as there is life, there is hope.”The surrounding people hurriedly echoed.
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
These surviving soldiers came from various units. Seeing that the commanders of the division headquarters were all dead, and the battalion commander was also dead, they had no desire to continue fighting and wanted to retreat.
"Bang!"
Seeing that these surviving soldiers were about to become deserters, the deputy battalion commander finally reacted. He took out the shell gun at his waist and fired a shot into the sky.
"Stop right there!“
The soldiers stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the dejected deputy battalion commander.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang looked at the soldiers who had escaped death under the Japanese's artillery fire and climbed up a mound.
"Brothers! Listen to me!"
"The division commander is dead, the regiment commander is dead, and the battalion commander is dead. We only have a few people left in our division. The Japanese will be here soon.”
"Vice Battalion Commander Zhang, if you can't beat him, you'll be courting death.”
"That's right, retreat. We can't beat them.”
"We can't retreat!" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang shouted hoarsely,""Without the order of the commander, retreating from the camp without permission is equivalent to becoming a deserter!”
"Do you want to go back and be poked in the back?!”
After hearing Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's words, all the soldiers who wanted to retreat stood there silently.
"A division of brothers is gone! But we are still alive! We are also from the 62nd Division. As long as one of us is still alive, we can't let the Japanese occupy this place so easily! Otherwise, he would be letting down the souls of his dead brothers in heaven! I'm sorry for the expectations our fellow villagers have of us!”
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, what you said is reasonable, but we can't defeat the Japanese. There are only so few people."
"Even if we can't beat him, we have to fight! We are soldiers. We have to be worthy of this uniform!”
"Now that the country is in ruins, if we, as soldiers, retreat, then we will perish!”
"F * ck, at most I'll die. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, I'm not leaving. I'll follow you to fight the Japanese!”
"Eighteen years later, I will be a good man again.”
"We have to let the Japanese know that there are no cowards in the 62nd Division!”
Soon, under Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's call, the surviving soldiers began to shout and prepare to die.
"Brothers, thank you! If there is a next life, we will still fight side by side against the devils!”Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's eyes were wet when he saw the soldiers who had stayed behind.
"The Japanese are coming. Everyone, quickly gather your weapons and go to the trenches in front to prepare for battle!”
"The few of you, split up and go to the villages behind to inform the people that the devils are coming. Tell them to run quickly. Don't bring anything and run for their lives!”
"The two of you go straight to Song County and inform the garrison headquarters there. Tell Commander Zhao Ting that the Japanese are coming and our 62nd Division is finished.”
"Brothers, take care!"
Soon, the few soldiers who were responsible for reporting to the rear saluted their brothers who stayed behind and then split up to report.
Seeing the officers and soldiers busy cleaning up the guns and ammunition, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He looked at the raging flames in the distance, his eyes filled with determination.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, the devils are coming!”
Before he finished his cigarette, one of his brothers pointed into the distance and shouted.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang threw away the cigarette in his hand, grabbed a rifle beside him, and loaded it.
"Get ready! Fight!"
The surviving soldiers searched for the broken bunkers one after another. In the midst of a commotion, they quickly fell silent again. They were waiting for the Japanese to come.
Because this was the headquarters of the 62nd Division, although they were under fire, the Japanese still sent an infantry brigade over, worried that there would be fish that escaped the net.
In the darkness, the Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets were a dark mass. They held their bayonet and approached the burning 62nd Division headquarters.
Seeing the black mass of Japanese soldiers, all the surviving soldiers panted. They loaded their guns and waited for their final battle.
"Brothers, beat them up fiercely and avenge our dead brothers!”
Seeing that the Japanese had entered the firing range, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's hoarse voice rang out.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Da da"
All the machine guns and rifles that could be found opened fire, and dense bullets enveloped the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers in the front row were caught off guard and were instantly knocked down like ripe wheat. The Japanese soldiers behind were so scared that they hurriedly crouched down and shot at each other.
The captain of the Japanese soldiers didn't expect that there would really be survivors, but judging from the gunshots, there weren't many of them. He immediately roared and ordered the attack.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Teng, teng, teng!"
The Japanese's mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns quickly opened fire. The dense bullets pressed down on Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang and the others until they couldn't raise their heads. From time to time, some people were blasted into pieces.
"Kill Gaigai!"
The ghost soldiers quickly rushed forward like a tide with their bayonet in hand, trying to wipe out Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang and the others.
"Out of bullets!"
"Mount the bayonet!"
"Brothers, charge!"
In just one round of crossfire, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang and the others had lost half of their men. Seeing the Japanese soldiers fall to the ground, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang also stood up with his bayonet.
"Kill!"
More than 50 Chinese soldiers in tattered military uniforms charged out with their weapons and soon engaged the Japanese soldiers.
However, they were too weak. Facing the tide of Japanese soldiers, they were quickly drowned, leaving behind corpses on the ground.
