Chapter 763: Isn’t it good to be alive?
Ono couldn't figure it out either. He said, "The brigade commander called and said division headquarters had received news that the Ninth Theater Air Force was dispatching, with an unknown target. The division commander ordered a report on the situation. He asked if everything was normal here."
"It's normal. How could it be abnormal? This morning I asked my adjutant to inquire about the situation at the First Battalion, and they said everything was normal."
Kuroki's answer made Ono think for a moment before he said, "How about asking again? The forces of various divisions are being adjusted now, so there aren't many places with problems. We're the most dangerous here."
"Your Excellency, the Captain."
Just as Ono finished speaking, a figure ran over and said, "Sir, the enemy just sent out bombers and blew up the bridge across from us."
"What?" Hei Mu turned his head and looked at the lieutenant standing in front of him. If he was not mistaken, this person should be the squad leader in charge of the riverside defense.
Because the river was only a few kilometers away from him and was located in the rear, he did not ask anyone to connect the telephone line to the river.
As for the roaring sound, he actually heard it not long ago, but he thought it was the Imperial Air Force bombing Area No. 3.
He didn't care at all.
"What did you say, the bridge was blown up?" Kuroki asked in disbelief.
The bridge was destroyed, which meant that the enemy was about to attack, but they only had one brigade of troops, and they were the Gui army. Even if they had a security regiment, the strength of that regiment was only enough to transport supplies, and its other functions were not very significant.
"Contact the First Brigade immediately and have them make sure to prepare for poison control."
If they want to attack, they will most likely use poison gas bombs, which was often used by independent regiments in the past.
Since Zhou Weiguo was able to arrive here, who can guarantee that he didn't bring poison gas bombs with him?
Ono turned around to inform the first battalion.
But not long after, he came back panting and said, "Something bad has happened. I can't get in touch with you."
I can’t get in touch with...
Kuroki's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little nervous. "Where's the Second Battalion? Can we contact the Second Battalion?"
"Also...I can't contact you either."
It’s bad! Hei Mu felt a buzzing in his head and ran towards the telecommunications office.
Since the phone call was not going through, he thought that the phone line had been cut by the enemy team. So now, he could only hope to get information from the radio station.
He had only run halfway when he bumped into the director of the Telecommunications Department.
"Sir, this is the message we intercepted from the 27th Brigade, directing the troops to reach Shunshan quickly."
The word "Shunshan" made Hei Mu's head hurt even more.
That place is not far away from them, and there are two large groups defending in front.
If the goal is to reach Shunshan, does that mean that the enemy has already broken through our defense line?
He looked at the time of the telegram and found that more than two hours had passed.
"Why are you reporting it now?" Hei Mu was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
The telecommunications director was really wronged. He had just taken over the deputy director's shift. Later, when he was looking through the telegram records, he saw such a telegram, and it was marked as not delivered.
That's why he found the telegram, and what he saw was a very scary sentence.
"Your Excellency, Captain, two hours ago, it was the deputy director in the duty room, and I just took over." He said aggrievedly despite the redness and swelling on his face.
Kuroki knew he had misunderstood. He took a deep breath and said, "Shoot that deputy director. Also, immediately dispatch scouts to investigate the situation."
After giving the instructions, he turned and left the courtyard, heading towards the river.
As soon as he got out of the car, he took a look through the binoculars. The bridge was truly destroyed, blown apart in the middle. The piers were still there, but the bridge was gone.
Not far away, there was the wreckage of a fighter plane. Judging from the model, it should be the Hawk biplane fighter that Shancheng had introduced a long time ago.
He shot down an enemy fighter plane, but the bridge was destroyed and the fate of his two squadrons was unknown. He didn't know if the higher-ups would let him off with such an outcome.
Before he could figure it out, something happened in the distance and he took a closer look.
Those khaki black spots were rushing towards this side. His telescope could not adjust the focus like the navy's, so he could only wait.
About three minutes later, he saw what was happening in the distance.
My goodness, the imperial soldiers were running towards this side panting, and they had already discarded some of the things that could be discarded.
Some people were better off and could still carry weapons, but most were empty-handed, and some even lost their helmets.
The group of people were running towards this side like crazy. He stammered and swallowed his saliva; "It's over."
He wanted to faint on the ground, but because of what happened next, he didn't dare to faint.
Because tanks and trucks appeared more than 200 meters behind this group of fleeing soldiers.
He thought it was his, but when he saw those people were wearing Tony helmets.
Hei Mu was desperate, it was the Gui army.
They were chased to the river by the Gui army like dogs.
Boom boom boom...
Zhou Weiguo stopped the tank, opened the lid, took out a telescope and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were desperately fleeing more than a hundred meters away. Then he raised his hand slightly and said, "Stop the troops."
The Gui army, which was chasing the Japanese, received the order, stopped on the spot and began emergency deployment. Machine guns were set up on the side of the road, and anti-aircraft machine guns were also aimed at the Japanese army in the distance.
This group of Gui troops now acted like they had taken stimulants, staring fiercely at the Japanese troops in the distance.
Zhou Weiguo could see the fighting spirit in their eyes.
"Commander, are we not going to chase them anymore?" A battalion commander came up to Zhou Weiguo and asked.
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, "Don't chase them anymore. If we continue, they'll turn around and fight us to the death."
There are more than a thousand people there. If they really turn around, I guess both sides will fight to the death.
The 102nd Division and the Independent Regiment have not arrived yet, and now he only has a brigade of troops.
He didn't dare to fight the other party to death, and the other party would definitely fight back next. He would be crazy to force the other party to fight to death at this time.
"We're not afraid of death." Zhou Weiguo glanced at the battalion commander and said, "Why would we think of dying when we can still live? Besides, there's a river ahead, how many of us can survive? Let's just wait and see when the time comes, because our weapons and equipment are not good enough."
It's such a long river. If you want to cross it, you must take off your weapons and equipment. If you want to swim across, unless you are a god, the weapons and equipment on your body will drag you down.
After hearing this, the battalion commander grinned and said, "You are right, sir."
boom……
Just as the battalion commander finished speaking, there was an explosion in the distance. Chao Xiang Xiuling, who was in the tank, climbed out and asked, "What's going on? Why is there an explosion?"
As she finished speaking, another explosion occurred ahead.
Chaoxiang Xiuling turned her head and looked over and chuckled.
