The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 258: Attack (Additional chapter 810 for the Color Shadow Master)

After shouting out the "order to assemble all troops", Hu Biao turned to Mo Shuiyan and the wizard.

He asked again solemnly, "You damned cripple, Sanpang, why don't you two just stay out of this fight! If you survive, you'll be able to play a greater role in the next time you travel through time."

After hearing this, Mo Shuiyan and the wizard both shook their heads and refused.
Mo Shuiyan even said, "No! The three trucks we modified are all old antiques. They might break down on the road.

If we don't go, no one can fix it in a short time.

Without these DIY steel tanks, how can you quickly break through the enemy's defensive positions?"

After saying that, he, together with the wizard and Zanana, rushed towards the three trucks that had been modified beyond recognition.

There were three cars in total, and they each controlled one.

After rushing to the side of the truck, I found that a group of people were already waiting there, fully armed.

They were all vehicle-mounted combatants responsible for driving or operating various weapons. However, after getting closer and seeing some familiar faces, the wizard shouted out more than a dozen names in one breath:

"Fang Zhou, Li Yunqi..."

Then he started cursing, "You can't even shoot properly, what are you doing following me? Are we going to fight or are you trying to cause trouble for me?

Useless guys, get out of here, get out now, the Subei Independent Regiment doesn't want you anymore."

Amidst such extremely heart-wrenching scolding, these dozen or so people who were actually students were scolded to tears on the spot.

Even so, they still begged the two commanders to show mercy and allow them to go with them to fight the Japanese.

Just facing their pleading, Mo Shuiyan with a sullen face walked forward, raised his foot and kicked them hard, kicking them twenty or thirty meters away from the convoy.

After spitting fiercely, he returned to the convoy alone.

During these few days of work, the group of students learned a lot from the two and were impressed by them. Some even regarded the wizard and Mo Shuiyan as their teachers.

What they didn't know was that when they turned around and left crying with a lonely look on their faces.

Mo Shuiyan, who had his back to them, and the wizard who hurriedly got into the car, both had red eyes.

After spending a few days together, they had developed feelings for these students; however, they knew one thing more: college and high school students these days are inherently precious.

What's more, in the past few days, they have been eager to impart some knowledge that is absolutely advanced at the moment to them, just like cramming them.

Even if they don't understand this knowledge immediately, let them remember it first.

Therefore, when these dozen students grow up, they will be the extremely valuable seeds and talents of this country. It is impossible for them to die easily in such a battle.

In desperation, I could only bite the bullet and beat and scold them to leave...

At the same time, Mr. Nan Ze also walked to the field hospital not far away. In a relatively quiet shack, Nan Feng and a dozen old brothers from the Subei Independent Regiment were lying there.

After handing a map and a list to his old man who was recuperating in bed.

Mr. Nanze lowered his voice and explained seriously, "We have buried a batch of gold, silver, and US dollars in the places marked on this map.

This is the roster of our Subei Independent Regiment. What if we can't come back after this battle?

Your task is to find the money after you recover from your injuries and send compensation to the families of the dead or disabled brothers.

The entire operation is entirely dependent on the south wind."

After hearing this, Nanfeng and others immediately wanted to say something.

But before they could say anything, Nan Feng said in a serious tone: "Follow the order. This is what Commander Hu promised the brothers. There must be no mistakes."

Seeing that Nan Ze had said this, Nan Feng could only say to Mr. Nan Ze: "Take care."

"Take care." Nan Ze replied to his old man in the same way, then walked out of the hospital without looking back...

At 1:45, all members of the Subei Independent Regiment who participated in the attack had gathered; including Hu Biao and others, there were a total of 1107 people.

What needed to be said and the reasoning had already been made clear during the break a few days ago.

At this moment, Hu Biao had no intention of wasting time. He took a deep look at the brothers standing in front of him who were fortunate enough to get together because of the coincidence.

Hu Biao shouted, "Raise the flag."

As soon as the voice fell, Jin Laohei, known as the 'Black Hawk' in the underworld, unfolded the flag on his shoulder.

Suddenly, a white flag with five blood-red characters on it, "Subei Independent Regiment," fluttered in the wind. This flag was brought to us yesterday morning by an old man who had ventured to visit the troops.

It was white in texture, because it was a shroud in itself, but the five words "Subei Independent Regiment" were temporarily written on it with red paint.

The reason why the old man sent this shroud was simply because he had in mind the motivational significance of the "Death Flag" of the Sichuan Army Corps, which wipes the blood when injured and shrouds the body after death.

After taking a look at this special flag, Hu Biao retreated directly to the back.

Instead, Annie took a step forward and shouted, "Subei Independent Regiment, set off."

The reason why Annie could issue such an order was that Hu Biao and the others had some experience, and she was the only one who could ride a horse well; so the command of the cavalry unit should be given to a more professional girl like Annie.

After Anne gave the order, she immediately turned her horse around.

He controlled his beloved horse 'GuaGua' at a trot and led the way towards the mud ditch.

Behind them, Hu Biao, Lao Yu, and others also followed on mules and horses, or in cars.

It should be noted that Robert Capa, a foreign journalist, had been filming the Subei Independent Regiment's expedition with his camera.

It was this scene that made him feel deeply touched.

Later, Uncle Sam wrote in Life Magazine:
Although the identities of these people were very complicated, including soldiers, horse bandits, farmers, workers, etc., they wore different clothes and their marching formation was very messy.

Not only were there a wide variety of firearms, but not even a saber per person. I saw ancient spears, broadswords, and even dung forks and guillotines used by farmers.

Many people didn't even have short, donkey-like war horses and could only ride a ridiculous mule.

But under that white flag, which represents 'living towards death', I feel that they are incomparably noble and great, and that they all have noble souls that are willing to fight to the death to defend their country.

This reminds me of the 1683 Polish Winged Hussars who fearlessly charged towards the 12-strong Ottoman army in the Battle of Vienna in 3000 in Western history.

And those noble French knights who charged the Venetian army near Padua...

"Everyone, dismount, feed, and rest for fifteen minutes~"

After giving this order, Anne turned over and dismounted.

Beat two eggs into a bag of black beans, add some salt, and then put it in the mouth of the beloved warhorse 'Gua Gua'.

During the process, she carefully stroked the warhorse's forehead and cheeks, her face full of obviously suppressed excitement.

The situation of the others behind her was not much different from Annie's.

All this is because they have finally caught up with the main force of the Seya Detachment, and are about to launch the final attack on these Japanese devils who are like stray dogs.

To be more specific, under the leadership of some local indigenous people in the team.

After taking a detour and going hungry, at around six in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, the Subei Independent Regiment arrived at a position two miles away from the mud ditch.

As they expected, after the Japanese broke through all the way here, they were already at the end of their strength.

Observing through the telescope, they saw that there were only about 2,000 people left in their group, and almost everyone looked extremely embarrassed and panicked.
Not to mention other baggage, even heavy equipment such as artillery were all abandoned.

Although there seemed to be a large number of cars and draft horses in the team, after arriving at the mud ditch, the movement became increasingly slow due to the poor traffic conditions.

It made them look disorganized, with no formation at all.

Because the surrounding terrain is an endless plain area, the appearance of so many people from the Subei Independent Regiment was naturally discovered by the Japanese at the first time.

Although at the first moment, many Japanese officers took the initiative to greet the surrounding soldiers and organized a temporary defense line of three or four hundred people at the rear of the team.

But that smell, like that of a lost dog, could be clearly smelled from a long distance away.

Moreover, it was about to get dark at this moment, and the Japanese planes had no night combat capability, so they had completely disappeared. It was really a perfect opportunity to fight.

But considering that the mules and horses in the team were a little tired after traveling so fast along the way.

After taking a deep breath, Annie suppressed the huge temptation in her heart that was eager to rush forward, break through the Japanese defense line, and completely defeat these Japanese devils.

That's why the scene at the beginning happened, which allowed everyone to stop and spend fifteen minutes.

The scene of replenishing and restoring the strength of the mules and horses so that they can launch an all-out attack will appear.

Even during this process, Mo Shuiyan, the wizard, Zanana, and others urgently checked the truck, making sure it wouldn't fail at this critical moment...
