Yang Qingze took the box of matches and looked at Ren Haojie, whose face was covered in blood. He nodded after a while and ran towards the firewood pile inside the city gate with an angry roar.
He ran there and opened the matchbox. There were only three matches left inside.
He drew for a long time before finally lighting the match.
"Throwthrow it in! Lightit up!" Ren Haojie endured the pain and said.
His chest was injured by the grenade launched by the Japs, and it was already a bloody mess. It looks simply shocking.
Yang Qingze nodded to him, then used the match in his hand to light the pile of firewood that had been doused with gasoline.
"Boom!" The flame was ignited, and Yang Qingze was swallowed up by the jet of flame in a blink of an eye. He screamed and rolled crazily on the ground.
Ren Haojie looked at the lit pile of firewood with a smile on his face.
"Well done, boy!"
¡°As he said this, he pointed the box cannon in his hand at Yang Qingze who was struggling on the ground, and shot him to end his pain.
"Go first! Brothers!" Ren Haojie said, then pointed the box cannon at his head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse all around, and all the soldiers on the position had been killed. None of them chose to surrender, and none of them chose to flee. Even the child soldier, who was only more than ten years old, showed his last courage.
This is a small and negligible battle, like a wave that accidentally rises up in the rough sea.
But their names will definitely be remembered in future generations.
They are called - martyrs!
News of the fall of Shangbei County quickly spread to Mancheng and Baoding City.
??
Liu Fudong was the first to jump out and said: "Tuan Zuo, this little devil has captured Shangbei County. If our whole city falls again, Baoding City will really be doomed."
Ma Siyuan said: "If we retreat at this time, whether it is to the west or south, there is still a way to survive."
Qiu Guoping said: "If you do this, the army commander and others will be passive!"
Xia Yang nodded and said: "The army commander is pretty good to us, both in terms of personal friendship and the overall strategic situation. We must be the last to retreat in the city."
He Changxing said: "Commander, tell us your plan, we will listen to you."
Xia Yang turned to look at everyone, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"I plan to ask the Army Commander and others to retreat from our Mancheng direction. If the Japs want to pursue him, they must take Mancheng. At that time, we can share a lot of pressure with the Army Commander and them." Xia Yang said .
When he said these words, the whole room fell into silence.
"There are more than 100,000 people on the opposite side, but the city is so big that their troops cannot be spread out. As long as we fight step by step, we can hold on for a while." Xia Yang was quite confident.
Ma Siyuan next to him asked: "Captain Xia, I have a question."
"What's the problem?" Xia Yang asked.
"We how do we break out from the encirclement of more than 100,000 people?" Ma Siyuan asked.
This is a very real problem. Unless each of them has made up his mind to die, Xia Yang's plan is absolutely crazy.
"I can take you out! As long as we persist for a few more days." Xia Yang said.
Several commanders of the fourth regiment unconditionally chose Xia Yang's words, which sounded unbelievable. Because they have absolute trust in Xia Yang and know that no matter what they say before they say something, they are guaranteed to fulfill it.
Qiu Guoping was a little hesitant, but he brought soldiers from the independent battalion to support Mancheng. He was originally here to fight the Japanese.
It¡¯s definitely more fun to fight against the 10,000-strong kid on the other side than to fight against the 100,000-strong kid on the other side!
Just thinking about it, Qiu Guoping felt very exciting.
Ma Siyuan said: "Okay, I believe you, Commander Xia. But it doesn't matter even if we can't break through. Our second regiment is originally a cannon fodder regiment. I'm still thinking about what I did a few days ago."He probably died, but I have to thank you, Captain Xia, for surviving till now. "
There was a lot of sadness in his words. Their second regiment originally had only more than 800 people. They really needed equipment but no equipment, and no people.
But after supporting Mancheng, they received sufficient ammunition and various weapons and equipment from Xia Yang. It can be called a shotgun exchange for a cannon.
Xia Yang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Old Ma, don't say that. When you come to Mancheng, you will be my brother Xia Yang! Bullshit cannon fodder, you are all damn elites!"
Hearing Xia Yang's words, Ma Siyuan was moved in his heart.
In many cases, people need nothing more than respect and recognition.
At least here in Xia Yang, their second group is recognized.
"Okay, everyone, go down and get ready for street fighting!" Xia Yang said to the people in the command room.
After everyone dispersed, Xia Yang began to ask the communications troops to send telegrams to the military headquarters, and told Commander Feng his thoughts for their reference.
Of course, if Commander Feng and the others choose to continue to hold on in Baoding City, Xia Yang can accept it. In that case, his pressure can be reduced a lot.
"And based on Xia Yang's understanding of Commander Feng, Commander Feng will most likely not choose to retreat. He is an orthodox and old-school soldier, and obeying orders is his first priority.
The order given to him by his superiors was to hold on for half a month to buy time for the rear defense line to be arranged. If no new orders are issued, Commander Feng will most likely choose to continue to defend Baoding City. Even Baoding City's defense line is already in danger.
Commander Feng¡¯s reply was quick. Just as Xia Yang thought, Commander Feng said that Xia Yang could not be left in such a passive situation. He would lead the soldiers of the 59th Army and continue to defend Baoding City together with the 29th Army.
Looking at the contents of the telegram, Xia Yang was a little moved.
At this time, the old army commander was still thinking about him. He even pointed it out implicitly in the telegram.
"If the situation continues to deteriorate, the defenders in the city can choose an opportunity to retreat!"
That is basically saying to Xia Yang: "Xia Yang, please leave me alone, this old guy, and retreat with your troops! I, this old bone, will stop you for a while." (Remember this site's website address: www. hlnovel.com
