The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 261: The League Flag (Additional chapter 910 for the Color Shadow Master)

In the following time, Hu Biao and his men charged, rested, and charged again and again.

This remnant of the Japanese Seya Detachment was like a bloated and weak beast, which was constantly pounced on and bitten by a group of wolves, causing new wounds.

It makes them increasingly weak and powerless, and their morale becomes increasingly low.

Even so, no one thought of stopping to hold on and wait for help; because they would not be able to wait for reinforcements, but only for more Kuomintang troops that had broken through their own rearguard troops and were chasing them.

So if you want to survive, you can only move forward and struggle forward.

This perfectly corresponds to the increasingly worse situation of the Seya Detachment.

Although there were more or less casualties every time our brothers attacked, the eyes of the people in the Subei Independent Regiment became brighter and brighter, their morale became higher and higher, and they did not feel tired for a while.

He even hated to let the mules and horses under his crotch rest and recover, and carried them on his back to charge.

Under such circumstances, the situation on the battlefield has become increasingly clear.

For example, while silently counting '97' and '98', the taciturn rookie Lao Yu was desperately waving a big sword on the galloping horse.

He chopped down the Japanese soldiers who were about to pass by him, causing them to fall to the ground screaming with blood and flesh splattering.

He swung a large knife weighing more than four pounds like a windmill, and it seemed as if he had endless strength.

The reason for this is that in the past hand-to-hand combat, they often had to sacrifice the lives of several brothers to kill a Japanese soldier, but now they can easily knock him down with one sword.

This kind of battle is really too exciting and makes people intoxicated.

On the other hand, the numbers 97 and 98 he mentioned represent the number of Japanese soldiers who died at his hands since he came here.

For a novice rookie, he has achieved almost 100 victories so far. It has to be said that it is a huge miracle.

So much so that he had lost the habit of engraving correct characters on the butt of his gun a few days ago.

With so many victories, the word "正" that was originally engraved was a little too big, and the butt of the gun had already been engraved with it, leaving no extra space for him to work on it.

Of course! Such a brilliant victory was also due to the advanced tactics, automatic weapons, DIY weapons, and equipment that the traversal team possessed and used.

The fierce battles that lasted for several consecutive days, as well as Lao Yu's good luck, are all inseparable from connections.

The only pity was that after this charge, the number in his mouth remained at '99', one short of breaking .

But it doesn’t matter, we just need to take a break and then rush forward again.

"Today's moon is so round. It's a perfect day to kill the devils."

Shaking his arms, he shook off the devil's blood on his sword, looked up at the rising full moon, and thought to himself...

Amid the roar of the engine, even if you know the driver is at this moment, he probably wants to put his foot on the accelerator into the fuel tank.

In the cab of the first DIY armored car, Zanana was sitting in the passenger seat.

The girl was still operating a machine gun and firing, while she was shouting at the top of her lungs: "Quick, quick, quick, rush forward and kill those little devils!"

Amid such roars, three cars rushed towards the defense line hastily built by the Japanese army consisting of about a hundred people.

Faced with these three strange cars, their shells covered with the flesh and blood of our own people, like steel beasts, they roared and rushed towards us.

The Japanese soldiers on that temporary defense line now missed the artillery they had to throw away in order to retreat quickly in the morning.

There are also those tanks that were destroyed in the street fighting in Taierzhuang.

Because if these equipment were still there, they would not be in their current powerless situation.

The enemy's front was covered in thick steel plates and sandbags, leaving only a small observation port and machine gun port in the cab, and the 7.7mm bullets had no effect on it. In the process, the enemy's multiple machine guns and some 60mm mortar shells fired from the vehicle caused heavy casualties.

Soon after, the speeding truck crashed into the enemy's Type 92 heavy machine gun, which was mounted on the road.

They crushed the bodies of the chief and deputy shooters, tore through the Japanese defense line, rushed into the rear of the Seya detachment's breakout team, and started a crazy massacre.

This situation continued until a Japanese truck overturned on the road appeared in front of them, making it impossible to move forward.

These three DIY trucks, like steel monsters, opened fire and turned around on the spot under the command of Zanana and others.

Finally, before more Japs rushed up with explosives to blow up the cars or blew up their tires, the rear car commanded by the wizard became the front car, and the small convoy began to retreat again.

In fact, after these trucks were modified, they were too heavy, had too little horsepower, and could only travel at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour due to the difficult road conditions.

But it was still a high speed that the Japanese soldiers on foot could not expect.

Behind them, and even on both sides, were Japanese soldiers who had been knocked over and blown up.

Maybe some Japanese soldiers were lucky enough not to die, but it didn’t matter, because in such an environment, any Japanese soldier who lost the ability to move would definitely be dead.

As for what to do with the blocked road, they would just wait for the Japanese to flee a little further, then they would catch up and push their cars to the side of the road...

******
This battle, like a wolf pack hunting, continued until 8:57 p.m., when some new changes occurred that determined the outcome of the battle.

To be more specific, two cavalry units and a DIY steel convoy had just tacitly completed a collective attack on the Japanese.

After getting to a safe distance, Hu Biao did not dismount, allowing the exhausted packhorse under his crotch to have a good rest and recover some strength.

In great surprise, I saw this scene:
The Seya Detachment, now with less than two thousand men, saw no hope of escape if they continued to flee, and that staying where they were would only mean death, so some of them finally collapsed.

The reason why I say "a part" is that in addition to the majority of the Japanese devils who began to flee in all directions like headless flies.

About a mile and a half away, there was a group of Japanese soldiers who looked quite elite, numbering about four to five hundred people. After leaving the main road, they hurriedly moved towards a not-too-small mound.

As mentioned earlier, the rearguard troops left behind by the Seya Detachment could not hold off other National Army troops for too long.

Therefore, the Japanese should be very clear that even if they hold on to this mound and wait for reinforcements, they will not be able to hold out until tomorrow morning when their air force arrives again.

So the question is, why did the Japs go here when they knew they would die?
Regarding this point, when Hu Biao saw a flag flash by in the crowd of Japanese devils, he immediately reacted: the regimental flag.

These desperate Japanese soldiers are now preparing to hold a burning ceremony and burn several regimental flags of the Lai Seya Detachment.

The so-called regimental flag of the Japanese was established in 1879.

It was the exclusive flag personally awarded by their Heavenly Locust to the infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiments.

Each regiment's flag is unique, representing the authority of the locust and the honor of the army.

Every regiment of the Japanese army regarded this thing as more important than their own lives; because once the regimental flag was captured by the enemy, all the members of the regiment would be punished, or even their numbers would be cancelled.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese not only assigned a squad of elite soldiers to guard this thing.

If the most dangerous moment comes, a burning ceremony will be held in advance to burn the team flag.

This is also the biggest reason why, during the entire World War II, the Allied forces had already possessed overwhelming strength in the later period, but never captured any regimental flag from the Japanese.

I have to say, it is really a huge pity.

But now, it seems like they have a chance to make up for this regret...
