Chapter 31
"Commander, why didn't we find a few Japanese troops to fight them head-on last night? I feel that the Japanese were not in their best state last night. They haven't rested for too long and their brains can't react at all. If we find a few Japanese troops to fight head-on, I think we'll have a greater victory.”
When Wu Deshui said this, he was still a little puzzled. In his opinion, the timing last night was too good. The Japanese who had not slept for two days and two nights would become a weakling no matter how elite he was.
"What's the rush? A war couldn't be finished in one night. No matter how weak they are, they don't have the numbers. When we are surrounded, we will be tortured to death by the Japanese.”
Zhang Wenbin rolled his eyes and said,"Alright, gather all the battalions and prepare for the next step.”
Wu Deshui nodded and went to pass on the order. On the other side, the radio station of the First Battalion was no longer silent. Instead, it opened the channel.
As soon as he opened it, he received a clear message.
"Regimental Commander, the clear code from the WuHan camp has been sent!”
The confidential personnel handed the telegram to Zhang Wenbin.
Zhang Wenbin nodded and started reading.
The content of the message was very simple. It was a letter to all the compatriots in the country. The chairman painfully announced that the capital, Jinling, had fallen into the hands of the Japanese.
However, the chairman also said passionately from behind, We haven't been defeated yet. Although we've lost our capital, we're still fighting.
We will fight to the death with the enemy in the major cities of the country and will not easily give up an inch of land.
Zhang Wenbin finished reading it. He knew that Jinling was the capital and had great significance to a country. The fall of Jinling had dealt a huge blow to the morale of the national war.
"Secret personnel! Draw up a clear text message."
Zhang Wenbin said after thinking for a moment.
...................
"Although Jinling has been occupied by the enemy, the resistance has not stopped. The 88th Division of the 72nd Division of the 9th Army will continue to resist the enemy's invasion in Jinling. We will fight the enemy on the streets and in the alleys.
We will fight the enemy in the residential area and in the square. They would fight the enemy in every corner of the city.
We have never given up on resisting, nor have we ever thought of surrendering.
If one day we leave Jinling, we will also fight the enemy on the vast land.
We will fight the enemy in the fields, in the countryside, on the plains, and in the mountains. We will fight the enemy wherever we can.
I, Zhang Wenbin, represent the 5,000 soldiers of the First Regiment to fight the enemy to the end. As long as I don't die, I won't stop resisting. On December 14th, 1937, the colonel of the 88th Division of the 9th Army, Zhang Wenbin, saluted his fellow countrymen!”
In the camp in Wu Han, an adjutant of the attendant room was reading a telegram slowly. The chairman sat on the armchair and closed his eyes slightly. After listening for a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled bitterly."What a bold kid. It's just that he…"
The chairman didn't finish his sentence, but it was obvious that he was in Jin Ling city. Would he be able to come out alive? Could he still survive? There were more than 200,000 Japanese in Jinling and its surrounding areas. How could he have the chance to come out alive?
"Commissioner, do we need to tell Old Zhang about this?”
The adjutant asked the chairman.
"Don't tell him for the time being. In case he was sad again. This kid was really annoying, he was still in Jin Ling City!”
..................
"Ba ~ ga ~ Zhang Wenbin! In other words, this person was the one who led the army to attack the dynasty's army last night?”
Prince Chao Xiang looked at the translated message and his lungs almost exploded.
"Send out a signal to all the divisions. We must find this Zhang Wenbin and destroy all of them!”
Prince Chao Xiang's furious voice echoed throughout the entire command post. There were still over five thousand enemy soldiers hidden in the city, yet they had not discovered them.
It could only be said that they were too tired yesterday.
.......................
"The Japanese are starting to act again. Today, they had rested their spirits and would probably search carefully.”
Zhang Wenbin was lying on the roof of a building. He looked at the Japanese who had started to move on the street and chuckled.
"Regiment Commander, you can still laugh. This little Japanese guy is full of energy today. If we want to run away with them like last night, it's impossible.”
The Second Battalion Commander, Zhou Chengyi, who was lying on the ground, said speechlessly.
"You know nothing! This urban warfare was similar to guerrilla warfare. Our biggest advantage is that we are familiar with Jin Ling City. The Japanese have just entered and they have no idea what is going on. Moreover, they can't possibly use all their forces to search for us.
There were still so many people locked up at the lower pass. Why didn't they send some troops? Moreover, they did not have much supplies. The scouts had just reported that the Japanese had sent people to the granary. I think the Japanese will soon find out that there's not a single grain in the granary. When that time comes, the people in Xiaguan will suffer.
This is also our chance. Alright, I've told you so much, but you still don't understand, blockhead. Let the troops start moving! Teach these Japanese a good lesson!”
Zhou Chengyi chuckled and retreated.
..............
In an ancient street, almost a squadron of Japanese were searching the street. They were divided into groups of three and entered every building and room to search.
There were still commoners in some houses. Their property was robbed, young women suffered, and men could only become corpses. Some commoners were even dragged to the streets for the Japanese to bet on.
You bet on whether I can hit his shoulder, whether I can hit his knee, and so on.
Miserable screams rang out continuously, but they were accompanied by the Japanese's rampant laughter.
In the distance, a group of calm and composed soldiers were looking at the Japanese through the windows or other places. They had angry expressions on their faces, but they did not move.
Slowly, some Japanese got closer, but they still didn't move.
"Get ready to take action. We'll take action immediately when the Japanese get into our pockets!”
A company commander whispered to the soldiers beside him.
The others nodded. Soon, a Japanese pushed open the door of the house. They were not at the door, but scattered on both sides.
Then, three Japanese carefully walked in. After looking around and finding nothing unusual, they began to spread out to search.
They had searched too many rooms. They would be very alert in the first house. They would even search the bedroom together.
The second house was the same!
It was the same for the third building!
However, the fourth building would slowly let down their guard, especially after they had raped some young women in the process.
They had already searched countless buildings. At the beginning, they were on high alert. When they saw that there was nothing strange, they let down their guard.
The three of them split up to search the rooms.
However, there were people waiting for them in these rooms with bayonet.
