Chapter 143 The Despair of Nobuyoshi Muto

Hirose Shousuke stood behind Muto Nobuyoshi with a solemn face. After repeated hesitation, Hirose Shousuke summoned up the courage to say to Muto Nobuyoshi in a very low voice: "Commander, I think we should stop attacking Chengde!"

Muto Nobuyoshi turned around and looked at Hirose Shousuke in surprise and said in surprise, "Mr. Hirose, are you timid?"

Hirose Shousuke shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, this will be a meaningless sacrifice. The middle [***] team that sticks to Chengde is determined and has sufficient ammunition. On the contrary, our army has lost all its edge in continuous combat, and now the supply of my division has been insufficient. It is really not worth the loss to launch a fierce attack on Chengde! This is a meaningless battle at all. Unless we are given enough heavy artillery and bombing support, in addition, we should consider the large-scale use of special bullets to attack a strong city like Chengde or deal with the new first division of Nanjing Political Axe.

"Fack!" Muto Nobuyoshi frowned angrily and said, "As an emperor, every battle is for the emperor. For the sake of the future of this empire, every drop of blood we shed is valuable. In Chinese words, we are the end of the crossbow, but why don't you know that the city is the same? In such a fierce and extraordinary tug-of-war, often whoever can hold on to the last five minutes can win.

"I need to win! The empire needs victory! His Majesty the Emperor needs victory! Mr. Hirose! Just one victory is enough, do you understand? Please!" Thank you! Nobuyoshi Muto bowed deeply to Hirose Shousuke. Hirose Shousuke, who blushed with shame, said excitedly, "Please rest assured, I will definitely capture Chengde City for you.

When a trace of fish white appeared on that day, Hirose Shousuke and Muto Nobuyoshi both stayed up all night. The two stood side by side in front of the artillery mirror of the underground headquarters. The Japanese soldiers were entering the position. Because the old street had become a large cemetery of the Japanese officers and soldiers, the 14th Division gathered together three full of infantry. The team reinforced the 10th Division and joined the main attack direction, while the 14th Division carried out a containment attack in the direction of the old street.

When the offensive troops of the Japanese army began to slowly enter the position, because the shells were exhausted, the Japanese army's decisive attack was not covered by artillery fire. The versatile Japanese staff officers explained to the following attacking troops that in order to achieve the sudden surname of the assault, they did not formulate an artillery support plan.

No one is an idiot. Even the fanatical young officers who are infinitely loyal to the emperor feel a little inappropriate. Nothing is synonymous with logistics stations. There are not enough bullets and no shells! It seems that our situation is really bad.

At this moment, there was a loud horn in Chengde City? The Japanese army, which was slowly entering the position, suddenly lay down on the ground and did not dare to move. A staff officer next to Nobuyoshi Muto, who was nervously tightened, shouted, "Immediately find someone who understands the [***] tone. I want to know what this means!"

Soon, a Japanese military logistics staff officer who knew the tone of the [***] team was found in the command post. In the face of the rare commander and the division commander, the somewhat excited Japanese military logistics staff told Muto Nobuyoshi and Hirose Shousuke that this sound was the flag-raising of the middle [***].

[***] even want to raise the flag? At this moment, the sky is gradually getting brighter. Through the high-scale artillery mirror, Muto Nobuyoshi and Hirose Shousuke have been able to see that there is indeed a flagpole erected high before the collapsed ruins of Chengde Girls' Middle School? Several Chinese soldiers escorted down to the flagpole in a neat queue of about 50 Chinese soldiers. In a burst of infuriating shouts, a blue and white flag slowly rose against the morning glow.

At this moment, there were few precious bullets in the ruins of Chengde City, and the eyes of the starving Chinese soldiers were moist. Due to the crazy attack and bold interspersing of the Japanese army, many Chinese officers and soldiers in Chengde City were separated from the main force. They insisted on the rubble of the ruins and used all possible means to attack the Japanese army. The siege force.

When the national flag was raised from Chengde Women's Middle School, they knew that they were declaring to the Japanese army that Chengde was still in our hands. For a moment, the eyes of these officers and soldiers who did not even frown their eyebrows were wet. More than ten days of fierce fighting proved that not all of them were incompetent people. You shouted that the imperial army was swept away by a machine gun and looked like a chicken!

For, Zhong*** dares to raise the flag within the range of its own light and heavy machine gun? Muto Nobuyoshi looked at Hirose Shousuke in surprise. The ashamed Hirose Shousuke immediately waved his hand and roared, "Shoot! Order the front line to shoot, and never let them calmly complete the flag-raising!"

In the crazy firepower of the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns, the wooden flagpole was hit and tilted many times. The Chinese soldiers squeezed the flagpole with flesh and blood in the rain of the Japanese army's bullets. The blood fog through the body looked extremely beautiful under the morning sun. In order to destroy the flag, Hirose Shousuke even ordered to launch countless Many heavy mortar shells.

After the smoke dissipated, the flag-raising death squad composed of fifty-two Chinese soldiers all died under the flagpole. A second lieutenant still dragged the flag rope and refused to let go. The blood of the heroic soldiers penetrated into the land of the motherland under them.

Looking at these sacrificed soldiers, most of them maintained their previous appearance, without panic or retreating! The perseverance of the Chinese people was fully reflected by them. Zhang Xuewu let tears flow on his cheeks. This is the only way he discussed with Li Songtao, Zhao Xinyu, Xu Guohui and others to boost morale and hit the morale of the military! There is no doubt that this is a tragic choice.

As a commander, is it a verbal so-called duty to make such sacrifices for subordinates? What are the duties of a soldier? How to choose in the face of foreign humiliation?

Zhang Xuewu and Li Songtao, Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu, Zhang Tianpeng, Wang Chuang, Maitlin and other commanders slowly raised their right hands to salute, showing off these brave and fearless heroes with extremely solemn expressions! Today's sacrifice is that I will definitely get it back ten times! Zhang Xuewu's powerful oath echoed between the ruins and rubble of Chengde City.

When the smoke dissipated and the flesh and blood of Chinese soldiers consolidated the national flag, for a moment, Muto Nobuyoshi seemed to be an old teenager? In the past, the fierce spirit of the dragon and the tiger seemed to be drained out in an instant?

Nobuyoshi Muto looked at Hirose Shousuke with some decadence and said, "Order the troops to stop the attack and be ready to retreat!"

Hirose Shousuke looked at Muto Nobuyoshi in surprise and hesitated for a moment. As a result, Muto Nobuyoshi waved his hand and said, "Please don't say any more. How can we defeat such an army? In order to protect the flag in their hearts, can they sacrifice their lives and die? It's an honor for you and me to fight against such an army, but it's also my sadness! We are not their opponents. If we insist on destroying them, we will lose more than we gain.

Muto Nobuyoshi finally took a look at Chengde City, which was already in ruins, and said to himself, "I don't know when I will come back!"
