The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 254 Finally got over it
Fortunately, the old man in Mr. Nanze's family is not dead.

Although the Japanese soldier's knife cut very deeply, cutting off a large piece of flesh on his waist and almost injuring his internal organs; it looked scary, but he was not fatally injured.

After emergency hemostasis, his wound was properly treated, he was given two sulfa pills and an injection of penicillin, and was carried to the relatively safe area near the south gate of Taierzhuang.

Given that the human body has basically no drug resistance these days, I think as long as you are not too lucky, you can still survive.

Even more fortunately, this extremely precious air support caused considerable damage to the unsuspecting Japanese, and knocked out the last breath in their hearts.

After the Kuomintang planes left, the Japanese launched two more attacks before dark.

But after more than ten or twenty people were killed or injured, they retreated in a hurry.

So after it was completely dark, Hu Biao and others looked at the position which was badly damaged but not lost an inch today.

As for the more than 200 reinforcements that Annie and her team had recruited during the day, hurriedly trained, and then transported by ferry at night, they all felt a strong sense of unreality.

How did they get through the last and most difficult day of the Taierzhuang Defense War?
Until I twisted my thigh hard and felt real pain.

Only then did Hu Biao believe that they had finally survived this day; he even couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if the future Subei Independent Regiment had its own air force.

Then, after taking a deep breath, Hu Biao walked up to Commander Chi, who looked depressed.

He said solemnly, "Captain Chi, after fighting till now, I think the Japanese have exhausted their last bit of energy and should be unable to launch an attack later.

I will leave these reinforcements and the rest of the Subei Independent Regiment with you, and the defense of Taierzhuang is now in your hands."

"Alright! Commander Hu, you can go back and rest. I'll leave everything here to Chi. I and the entire 131st Division will remember your brave act this time."

After hearing this, Master Chi said very sincerely.

There was no resentment at all that Hu Biao wanted to leave on his own, leaving him to continue holding on.

After all, he knew clearly that without the help of Hu Biao and the Subei Independent Regiment, their 131st Division would have been wiped out long ago, and Taierzhuang would not have been defended.

More importantly, Hu Biao nominally belongs to the First War Zone and does not need to participate in this life-and-death battle at all.

But he still misunderstood Hu Biao. Hu Biao did not leave the village to rest, but had some more important things to do.

For this reason, Hu Biao later continued to explain:
"Our Subei Independent Regiment is outside and should have formed a reinforced company-sized cavalry.

A few of us wanted to go out and take advantage of the time to train and integrate them, so that when the entire army launches a counterattack, we can give the Japanese a blow.

In short, if I let the Seya Detachment escape, I, Hu Biao, would be sorry for the brothers who died and were injured in the past few days."

After hearing this, Commander Chi realized that he had misunderstood Hu Biao.

But this is not important. What is important is that he thought of one thing:
Since the Battle of Shanghai, the National Army has been retreating again and again. Now it has finally won a great victory and even has the hope of completely annihilating the brigade-level Seya Detachment.

For a moment, I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.

I could only say "OK" a few times.

In this way, Hu Biao, Mr. Nan Ze, Zanana, Lao Yu, Van Gogh and a group of five people, took more than 200 seriously injured people and left from the south gate of Taierzhuang overnight.

After getting on the ferry, I went to meet Anne and others.

Oh, and among those crossing the river by boat was Robert Capa, a foreign journalist.

This guy has tasted the sweetness from Hu Biao, but he is prepared to follow this human-shaped news hotspot until the Battle of Taierzhuang is completely over.

Even the risk of accidental injury during the process was ignored.

******
At 30:9 p.m. on the 11th, Hu Biao finally set foot on the land outside the village.

Before he could open his mouth to breathe in the fresh air, which was different from the smoke, blood, and even the stench of corpses in the manor, he saw a white warhorse galloping towards them. A moment later, the warhorse was pulled in front of them, and a familiar figure swiftly flipped down.

The owner of the figure threw himself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and refused to let go.

The person who could have such beautiful horsemanship and perform such a move was naturally Annie, who had been staying outside Taierzhuang.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this girl has managed everything in an orderly manner during this period of time.

Even the new recruits and various supplies that came in every day were the key to Hu Biao and his men defending Taierzhuang. He could be said to be a great contributor.

But Annie is a girl after all. She has to worry about all kinds of things and also worry about the safety of her own big pig's hoof.

He was already exhausted, and after hearing that the most difficult time had finally passed and Hu Biao had escaped from the village alive, he took the current action.

Hu Biao was naturally quite clear and understanding of the hardships and difficulties Annie faced in supporting her family.

He immediately ignored the playful or teasing looks from others, even that foreigner Robert Capa, and started taking pictures with his camera.

He also reached out and hugged Annie, gently patting her on the back, but he felt so heartbroken.

Only after the wizard who couldn't ride a horse and Mo Shuiyan came running over breathlessly did Hu Biao let Annie go.

Hanging on the waist, a samurai sword called "Ichimonji Yama Toriga" that was seized from that middle school devil Uesugi Arisugi was stuffed into Annie's hands like a treasure.

He yelled, "The night before yesterday, I killed a devil noble from the Uesugi family of the island nation.

We seized a samurai sword from him that should be quite famous. I'll give it to you to cut some watermelons in the future. By the way, when the cavalry company attacks, we can use this to kill the Japanese.

The voice just fell, because his old man's life was safe, Mr. Nan Ze, who was relieved, said jokingly:
"When the cavalry company attacks, what's the chance of you dying?
You can't even ride a horse, so you might as well just follow behind and eat the fart without getting anything warm."

"Why is there nothing for me to do? Annie and I are a perfect team. I'll be in charge of the 'Quack!' and Annie will be in charge of killing the devils. Isn't that a perfect combination?"

Faced with the ridicule, Hu Biao retorted shamelessly.

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

As I said, the most difficult moment of this battle has passed. Next, we just have to wait for Commander Li to order the entire army to counterattack and completely eliminate the Seya Detachment.

Therefore, the mood of the surviving time travelers is now relaxed, which is rare.

But Hu Biao and the others soon found out that there was more good news to come.

Anne pulled out her samurai sword and took a look at it. After recognizing the origin of the sword, she asked everyone in surprise:
"Do you know how much this knife is worth?"

Hu Biao had no idea what was going on and answered casually:

"No matter how valuable this Japanese junk is, how much can it be worth? I originally left it for you to cut watermelon with. Our Hu family's heirlooms are calligraphy and paintings by great men. Aren't they much better than toys?"

"No matter how shabby this thing is, it's still worth 2400 million island currency. According to the latest exchange rate, it should be more than million RMB."

Annie rolled her eyes at her country bumpkin and said a scary number.

Then, seeing that everyone was a little bit unconvinced, he gave some more detailed explanations:
"This sword was designated as a National Treasure by the Ministry of Education in 52, but for a long time it was held by a mysterious private collector.

Okayama Prefecture, the hometown of Uesugi Kenshin, in order to welcome this thing back.

However, they mobilized the people in the country to raise funds, and it was not until this year that they raised 500 million to buy it back and put it in a museum for display.

After the events of Taierzhuang, this knife probably won't be in the original museum anymore, but it can be sold for at least 500 million island currency."

After being shocked for a long time, Hu Biao gave an explanation:
"I won't sell it! No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it. I absolutely can't let the Japanese buy it and keep it as a keepsake. If you put it next to the toilet when you get home, that's the only treatment it deserves..."
