Chapter 44 The Last Pawn (Part 2)
When Xu Shijiu missed Yu Jiaxi, Yu Jiaxi was following the 19th Brigade to Wusong Town and marched urgently.
Yang Ruofei's 61st Division was defeated by the Japanese army yesterday morning. The first person to know the news was Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the 9th Army, and then the Nanjing Commander. However, these big figures would not pay attention to the lives and death of small figures like Xu Shijiu. They would not urge Zhong Song's brigade, nor would they think of notifying the 19th Brigade that had not yet been opened.
Zhu Xia only remembered to inform the 19th Brigade to start early after returning from Cannon Taiwan.
So, when the 19th Brigade learned the news, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, the remaining troops of the 61st Division had already made a fuss of congestion with the Weiyuan Brigade in Taiwan.
Scar, one-handed and one-eyed dragon jumped up at that time and immediately gathered the team to prepare to set off.
Of course, the 19th Brigade's movement was not hidden by Yu Jiaxi, and Scar and the others did not intend to hide it. One-eyed Dragon even took the initiative to tell Yu Jiaxi about the whole story. He heard that Xu Shijiu was in danger, so Yu Jiaxi could not sit still. He took Shu Tongwen to carry the medicine box and joined the 19th Brigade's queue and drove in urgently towards Wusong Town.
However, wars are everywhere in Shanghai, and the road from North Railway Station to Wusong Town is not easy to walk.
Since Yangshupu and Hongkou districts were unable to catch them for a long time, the 19th Brigade had to go west first, then bypass Zhabei from Nanxiang, which was blocked by Japanese naval guns, and then enter Xinshi from Jiangwan. However, in broad daylight, Japanese bombers came to bomb from time to time in the sky, and the team stopped and stopped at a very slow speed.
By the time the 19th Brigade arrived at Zhanghuabin Railway Station, it was already past four o'clock the next morning. Zhanghuabin Railway Station was the terminal of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. Not far ahead was the Lizaobin Bridge. Yesterday morning, Xu Shijiu saw through the Japanese disguise on the Lizaobin Bridge, causing the Weiyuan Brigade's surprise attack to lose a fortune.
When I walked to Zhanghuabin Railway Station, there were about a hundred veterans, but the newly added two hundred new recruits were already exhausted. Scar was helpless and was about to stop and rest for a while, a group of Central Army suddenly came towards me. Two of them were carrying stretchers, and there were also a blood-filled and seriously injured persons lying on it.
Before the 19th Brigade could come forward to interrogate, the officer in the Central Army wearing the security team uniform rushed forward and asked repeatedly: "Is there a doctor? Are there any doctors among you?"
"Yes, I am the doctor, I am." Yu Jiaxi stood up without hesitation.
"It's great, I've been looking for it, I've been looking for a doctor." The man said, and shed tears. He quickly asked someone to carry the stretcher to Yu Jiaxi, and said in a nearly choked voice, "Doctor, please, please, please save him. I promised Captain Xu to save him no matter what."
"Captain Xu?" Yu Jiaxi asked with a trembling heart, "Are you talking about Xu Shijiu?"
"How do you know?" The man was naturally a leopard. He and Lao Wen carried the dying artillery back to Wusong Town at night. They found that the Western and Chinese medicine doctors in the town had already run away during the day. Seeing that the artillery was about to die, they had to carry the artillery all the way to the city to look for the doctor, but they met Yu Jiaxi.
The leopard said, "Why, do you know Captain Xu?"
Yu Jiaxi held back tears that were almost about to burst into her eyes, and shouted loudly in her heart, "We are not just acquaintance, we are lovers, but she just said lightly: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to rescue the wounded. As long as there is a slight chance, I will never give up easily."
After saying that, Yu Jiaxi asked Shu Tongwen to open the medicine box and prepare for the operation. As a doctor, it was her duty to save lives and heal the wounded. Moreover, the wounded was the person Xu Shijiu specifically told him to rescue him. However, Yu Jiaxi also knew that every time she delayed for an extra second here, the chance of seeing Xu Shijiu for the last time would be smaller.
#############
At this moment, Xu Shijiu didn't know that his lover was rescuing the wounded more than ten miles away. In fact, he couldn't care about it, because the last moment had arrived.
Under the Japanese attacks, the second line of defense on the mountainside had been lost. Xu Shijiu retreated to the last line of defense near the top of the mountain with the last three remaining soldiers. Taking advantage of the gap between the Japanese attack, he finally checked the equipment. There were still five bullets left in the four men, two grenades and a melon grenade.
Xu Shijiu pressed all five bullets into his rifle, and then distributed the grenades and grenades to three remaining soldiers, one for each. When distributing the grenades and grenades, Xu Shijiu gently patted each of the remaining soldiers' foreheads, and the remaining soldiers smiled, and they all knew what would happen next.
There were no bold words, but the remaining soldiers were indeed ready.
Perhaps, after experiencing too much killing and separation from life and death, death is no longer so terrible for these remnants. The faint smile on their faces and the calmness in their eyes can even give people an illusion that they seem to be looking forward to the arrival of death.
The Japanese attack began again, and this time the Japanese Navy did not prepare for artillery fire.
The Japanese Navy's large-caliber shells were not blown by strong winds. They had already wasted too many shells for this small Fortress Mountain, and it was impossible for the Ohara Brigade to provide more artillery fire support.
At this time, a trace of white fish belly was revealed in the eastern sky. Through the thin morning light, you could vaguely see that about half a team of Japanese soldiers were carrying the 38th cover with a bayonet and were waving up the mountain. A few more than a dozen Japanese soldiers pulled out nearly a hundred meters of scattered soldiers, from the northern foot of Fortress Mountain to the southern foot.
Xu Shijiu pulled the bolt and pushed the first bullet into the load, then pulled the trigger.
A crisp gunfire sounded, and a Japanese chief Cao fell over and rolled down the hillside again. Xu Shijiu's shot directly penetrated his heart. The remaining dozen Japanese soldiers immediately fell down, set up rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers to shoot wildly at the top of the mountain. The entire turret was immediately beaten to smoke and dust.
However, the Japanese army, who were attacking the other side, had a natural disadvantage in the shooting world, and Xu Shijiu's shooting skills were even more comparable to ordinary Japanese soldiers. In a blink of an eye, Xu Shijiu piled up four Japanese soldiers. Unfortunately, the remaining five bullets were all exhausted. He pulled the bolt and looked at the empty gun chamber. Xu Shijiu sighed.
As soon as the gunfire sounded on the mountain, the Japanese soldiers immediately noticed it. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers lying on the ground stood up again. They first rushed up the mountain with bayonets and found that there were no gunfires on the mountain. The Japanese soldiers gradually became more courageous and began to straighten their waists and rushed up the mountain casually.
However, as soon as the little Japanese rushed to the mountainside, they threw down a few grenades and grenades on the top of the mountain. After the violent explosion, three or four Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot. The remaining seven or eight Japanese soldiers quickly lay on the ground again, and then waited again. After a long time, the Japanese soldiers got up again and rushed to the top of the mountain.
This time, the Japanese soldiers finally rushed to the top of the mountain smoothly.
Then, a cruel hand-to-hand combat broke out again on the top of the mountain. The three remaining soldiers fought for their lives, and all pulled a Japanese soldier to the back before they died. The remaining Japanese soldiers were killed by Xu Shijiu on the spot. However, Xu Shijiu was also a flesh-and-blood body. After a night of fierce fighting, he had been seriously overdrawn in both physical strength and energy, and he was injured and killed.
At this time, it was already bright, and Ohara Shigemi saw the hand-to-hand battle on the top of the mountain clearly through the telescope.
After seeing the bloody battle, there was only one person left on the top of the mountain. Although the last person who survived was a national army, Ohara Shigemi still kept talking. Put down the telescope. Ohara Shigemi ordered Captain Fujimoto: "Fuyamoto, order Noguchi Squadron to attack immediately, seize the Fortress Mountain, and occupy the Fortress Taiwan!"
"Hayi." Captain Fujimoto suddenly lowered his head.
#############
It was not only Ohara Shigemi who witnessed the hand-to-hand battle just now.
In the observation post of the East Fortress, Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi also saw this scene through the artillery mirror. When he saw the security officer on the opposite Fortress Mountain struggling to stand up again from the ground and straighten his backbone, Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi could no longer suppress his tears. Good, the brothers of Wusong Security Team are all good!
"Miss Ye, come and have a look." Let tears fall from his cheeks, Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi turned his head and said to Ye Ruxue, a reporter from Miller's Commentary, "Aren't you always looking for heroes? There is a hero standing on the Fort Hill opposite, and he is a real hero. Compared with him, we are nothing."
Ye Ruxue looked at Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi in surprise, and then put her beautiful eyes behind the cannon mirror.
Through the sight of the cannon mirror, Ye Ruxue easily discovered the hero that Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi mentioned. He was standing on the top of the bare Fortress Mountain. When she saw clearly that the man was actually wearing the security team uniform, Fang Xin felt like something was being pulled hard, and then looked closely. Yes, it was him, it was him!
"Battle seat, flag slogan, he is sloganing us!" An observer suddenly screamed.
Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi quickly raised his telescope and adjusted the focal length as quickly as possible. The security officer on the top of the mountain opposite had indeed added two small signal flags. He kept making various gestures and transmitting groups of letters to the observation sentry in the observation sentry in the observation sentry of the East Fort.
Ye Ruxue didn't understand the flag language, but seemed to feel something. She almost sobbed and asked Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi: "Battleman Sun, what are he talking about?"
"He is talking..." Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi's hands holding the telescope were trembling slightly. He said almost in a choked tone, "He is saying that the 19th Route Army is not a rebel. For the sake of the country and the nation, the 19th Route Army has fought to the last soldier. They should also be the heroes of the nation... They are the old 19th Route Army!"
"The 19th Route Army?" Ye Ruxue murmured, "No wonder he wanted to change his name to Xu Shijiu."
"He also said..." The man opposite continued his flag verb, and Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi continued to explain, "After the Japanese army arrive at the top of the mountain, let us fire the cannon at the top of the mountain. He will die with the Japanese army!"
Ye Ruxue's pretty face turned pale in an instant. He was going to die with the Japanese army?!
#############
Xu Shijiu typed out the last set of letters, then threw away the signal flag and picked up the bayonet rifle again, then turned around and walked forward two steps. At the western foot of the Fortress Mountain, the black Japanese soldiers had already crushed up the ridge with bayonets. Judging from the momentum, there was at least one strengthening squadron with more than 200 people.
Due to the obstruction of the ridge, the Japanese army did not see the flag verbs raised by Xu Shijiu.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were surrounding him from all directions, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but smile. It's great. With so many Japanese soldiers accompanying me on the road, the road on the Huangquan will not be too lonely and boring.
Turning his head again, Xu Shijiuyao looked at the outline of Shanghai's city and silently said in his heart, Shanghai, goodbye, Jiaxi, my lover, goodbye forever, and the brothers of the 19th Brigade, we will be brothers in the next life...
#############
East Fort observation post.
Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi picked up the phone and almost bit his back alveolar and yelled: "The gun platoons and target turrets, according to the calibration, ten rapid fires of the various rounds, no, I will shoot all the shells, all of them, blow these little Japanese, blow them to death, blow them to death, blow them to death, blow them to death..."
The roar of Battalion Commander Sun Shengzhi almost shattered the microphone.
