Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers
Chapter 858 Heroes Retreat
When Major General Okawa arrived, the smell in the entire trench was extremely bad. Many Japanese officers and soldiers leaned against the wall and began to vomit, almost vomiting out their bile.
The speed at that time was so fast that even if the Japanese officers and soldiers knew to retreat, the speed of their legs could not catch up with the speed of the burning flames. The lids of those gasoline barrels were all unscrewed. After they were thrown into the trenches, the gasoline flowed as fast as the water, and there was a gasoline barrel every few meters.
When the first gasoline barrel was ignited, the remaining gasoline barrels had not yet been emptied of oil, but the scorching heat nearby directly caused the gasoline to explode. If you died in the explosion, then you would really have won the jackpot. The most terrible thing was that those who were not dead were on fire all over.
If there is a comrade next to you who knows how to relieve your pain and shoots you right away, then you are lucky.
But some soldiers had never experienced such a situation. When they saw their brothers crawling out of the trenches, they were actually thinking about how to put out the fire. Their bodies were covered in gasoline. Do you think you can put out the fire by just whipping them with your clothes?
If you really have such ability, then you have set a record. Most people who go to put out a fire with clothes not only fail to save their brothers, but end up getting burned in the process.
This is the origin of many lightly wounded soldiers. Of course, these people had good intentions and wanted to rescue their brothers, but the problem was that their methods were wrong. The end result was that they could not save the people, but instead became victims of mild burns. Every part of their body was in terrible pain, but the Japanese army did not have special medicines to treat burns.
The fire burned for more than half an hour before it slowly died out. However, it was definitely not going to work if we continued using this method. The entire trench was filled with all kinds of smells, which were too unpleasant. Moreover, if people stepped in, it felt like they were stepping into mud.
In fact, that was not mud, but the burnt bodies of some people. When you think about this, let alone stepping on it to continue fighting, the retching alone would have consumed all your fighting power.
Of course, Captain Chu's side also suffered losses. At the beginning, the Japanese firepower was very fierce. Nine of our jeeps did not return, and all the soldiers on them died.
After hearing the report from his men, Captain Chu's originally happy mood was overshadowed. The Japs here are really different from those in the north. If we continue to fight, our losses will definitely be heavy. But when we think about the brothers of the 29th Army who died for their country, our losses are nothing. As long as the Japs want to cause trouble in this land, we will fight them to the end.
"Continue to strengthen the defense line and extend it to the periphery."
Captain Chu gave the order. A batch of cars and other mechanical equipment that had just been blown up were pulled to the periphery by tanks. They could extend fifty meters outward from the original outer defense line of the railway station. Even if there was no one defending here, just piling them up here could cause some trouble for the Japanese.
Of course, some people will say that if the Japanese rush here, they might be able to provide them with cover. The soldiers under Captain Chu had already thought of this. We will bury mines on this newly built defense line, and when the Japanese rush over, we will give them a big gift.
Even if the Japanese miss, it doesn't matter. This thing of ours has a fuse. Fifty meters is not far. It can be directly connected to the outer defense line of the train station, manually giving the Japanese a big gift.
When Li Shaoyi heard about the battle situation at the train station, there was no smile on his face. What he saw was the battle situation in the entire Tianjin City. The various units of the 29th Army were basically about to withdraw. The policemen who were left here by Li Shaoyi before did not have much combat effectiveness. After the recent battles, the police forces suffered heavy losses. Standing in front of Li Shaoyi at this moment was Director Xie.
"Old Xie, it was my idea to let you withdraw, and I did it after careful consideration. You can't continue to fight here. You people are very useful. If we can't defend Tianjin, I mean if, after you recover from your injuries in the rear, you will be sent back to Tianjin and continue to lurk in Tianjin, which is to say, fight behind enemy lines."
Li Shaoyi personally poured a cup of tea for Director Xie. Originally, there were about six to seven thousand non-combat organizations in various places in Tianjin, but in the fighting in recent days, more than half of them were lost. Even the remaining half were all injured.
Although they still insisted on cooperating with various troops, Li Shaoyi, after careful consideration, decided to withdraw these people first. After all, they were not useful on the front battlefield, and our follow-up troops were coming in continuously, so they should be allowed to rest in the rear.
"General, if that's what you say, then I won't insist. I originally thought you didn't need the brothers, but how can this be possible? We usually receive high salaries, and our entire families have retreated to Chang'an City. If we do nothing, we will really feel guilty."
Director Xie came to Li Shaoyi not for any other reason, but because he did not want to withdraw. After all, he and his men were more familiar with Tianjin City, and the battle situation was now tense. If his men were to withdraw, it would be extremely unfavorable to the battle situation.
"You don't have to feel guilty. What you've done is better than 90% of the people in the Nationalist government. Take a plane and be sent to the rear for shelter. We have more important tasks for you. Next, people from the Intelligence Department will contact you. Perhaps they will use some of your old connections in Tianjin. After training, you will be transferred from the police front to the intelligence front."
Li Shaoyi personally lit a cigarette for Director Xie. When Director Xie took the cigarette, Li Shaoyi discovered that one of the little fingers on Director Xie's right hand had been blown off. This should be an injury he suffered some time ago, and the wound has now healed.
"It's alright, Marshal. My little incident is nothing compared to those brothers who died..."
Director Xie saw Li Shaoyi staring at his wound and thought of the brothers who died in battle. But he couldn't say anything more. In just half a month, more than 3,000 people died in the police headquarters. That's more than 3,000 people...
