Chapter 271: Japs? Aren’t they everywhere?
Is there something wrong with their eyes?!
This is the only thought in their minds at this moment!
It was not until everyone rubbed their eyes thoroughly that they were sure that there was nothing wrong with their eyes.
Before their eyes, the ground was littered with broken limbs and various other parts belonging to unknown people!
The ground was soaked with blood!
And at first glance, no body was intact!
Further away, there seemed to be lumps of things, but no one knew what they were.
Even though most of them are veterans who have experienced many battles and are accustomed to life and death.
But faced with such a tragic scene, everyone still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after running all the way, the little food I ate in the morning has been digested.
Otherwise, the new recruits in the team might really vomit on the spot.
The leader's heart skipped a beat!
Aren't they late?!
Not only him, the more than 6,000 people following him also had the same idea!
"Quick! Look for it!"
The man said with red eyes and regret:
"See if there are any alive! Quick!"
Even though he knew that this hope was very slim, he didn't want to give up even the slightest hope!
The more than 6,000 people who had followed him all the way had red eyes. Some new recruits even wiped their tears and devoted themselves to the task of finding survivors.
ten minutes later.
More than 6,000 people searched the entire battlefield as quickly as possible.
"Captain, something's wrong!"
One of them said to the leader:
"All the dead here are Japanese soldiers. There's not even a single body of our own comrades."
"Those things that looked like lumps from a distance, I just ran over to take a look, they were all the Japanese's iron turtles, but they were already broken."
"Goodness! Commander, do you know how many Iron Tortoises those Japs have? Over a hundred!"
"you sure?"
The leader frowned:
"Is it true that there isn't a single body of our comrades? Have you looked carefully?"
"I've seen them. They're all wearing Japanese military uniforms."
But at this point, the man changed the subject:
"But one thing that's strange is that all that's left here are unusable weapons and scrapped ammunition."
"There are no usable weapons or ammunition!"
After hearing what he said, the captain frowned even more tightly:
"That means someone has cleaned up the battlefield."
"If it was the Japanese who cleaned up, they would definitely have taken away the Japanese identity cards on the battlefield, but those identity cards were not taken away."
"But if it was a battlefield cleaned by our own comrades..."
The captain hadn't finished his words, but the person who reported to him knew exactly what he meant.
How can this be? !
It’s not that they don’t trust their comrades!
The main reason is that too many Japanese soldiers died here!
He just did a rough count and found that there were at least eight or nine thousand Japanese devils here!
Also, during his search, he had just discovered the Japanese artillery positions.
Based on the size of the artillery positions, he estimated that the Japanese artillery everywhere was at least an artillery regiment!
Plus the more than one hundred Japanese iron-clad tanks!
Neither he nor his team leader could imagine it!
What kind of army is this that can completely wipe out such a small Japanese army?
The regimental commander even had a wild imagination, wondering if it was the entire 129th Division from northwest Shanxi that was attacking us?!
But if it was the 129th Division that attacked, why did the higher-ups send a telegram asking them to come for support?
"Captain! Look!"
Just as the captain was frowning and thinking about this, the person who reported the situation to him pointed in the direction they came from and shouted:
"Is that the Japanese's Iron Turtle?!"
"Little Japs?! Iron Turtle?!"
The regiment commander quickly turned around and saw that in the distance there was a vehicle that looked very similar to the Japanese Iron Turtle and was driving towards them at a very fast speed!
"It's the Japs! Get ready for battle!"
The leader made a prompt decision and shouted directly:
"Quick! Everyone, quickly move towards the destroyed Japanese Iron Turtle! Use the destroyed Japanese Iron Turtle as cover and prepare to engage the Japanese!"
Under the command of their commander, the more than 6,000 people immediately turned around and ran towards the Suzuki Tank Brigade that had been killed.
But the expression on the captain's face was extremely solemn!
Because he could see that the Japanese iron turtle that was rushing towards them was completely different from the previous slow-moving Japanese iron turtles!
This little Japanese iron turtle is very fast!
I'm afraid that before they can run to the destroyed Japanese iron turtles, this Japanese iron turtle will have caught up with them!
"He Ping! Lead the first battalion and stay with me to cover our retreat!"
Seeing that the Japanese iron turtle was approaching them at a flying speed, the regiment commander immediately gave the order!
"Captain, we need..."
He Ping, the first battalion commander, seemed to have something to say, but he was interrupted by the regimental commander as soon as he opened his mouth:
"This is an order!"
"Yes! One battalion stays!"
Hearing his commander say this, He Ping had no choice but to follow orders.
He stayed with a battalion and prepared to ambush this Japanese iron turtle that ran faster than a rabbit with his regimental commander!
But what they never expected was!
The Japanese iron turtle slowed down when it was still several hundred meters away from them!
And there was a person coming out from the top of the iron turtle and shouting something!
However, because the distance was too far, the regiment commander and He Ping could not hear clearly what the Japanese soldier was shouting.
But as the Japanese iron tortoise shell got closer and closer to them, the regiment commander, He Ping and the soldiers of the first battalion finally heard it clearly.
"Comrades! Don't shoot! We are from the Xiaoyangcun District Squad! We are all family! Our captain asked us to come pick you up!"
What? !
The regimental commander, He Ping, and the comrades from the first battalion immediately wondered if there was something wrong with their ears!
But as the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, the shouting became clearer and clearer.
The team leader finally confirmed that the person coming might be one of his own.
But it has never heard of any unit in our army being so wealthy! Even the Japanese devils' iron turtles are worthy of it!
Moreover, he had never heard of the local armed force of Xiaoyangcun District Team!
"Wait! Stop!"
The team leader still remained skeptical about the matter.
So he stopped the unidentified vehicle in time, which looked very similar to the Japanese Iron Turtle but actually looked very different.
"You said you were from the Xiaoyangcun District Team. How do you prove it?"
The leader asked with a skeptical look on his face.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
When the regimental commander shouted to stop, the driver of the Sd.Kfz.234 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle stepped on the brakes to stop the reconnaissance vehicle.
"I have ID!"
Then, one of the two members of the artillery observation post took out his ID from his pocket, got out of the reconnaissance vehicle, and walked towards the regimental commander with his hands raised.
Because he had indeed stopped the reconnaissance vehicle, and there was only one person coming from the opposite side, the doubts in the captain's heart dissipated a lot.
Soon, the artillery observer came to the regimental commander and handed over his ID.
After the regimental commander took the certificate and carefully verified it, he immediately became enthusiastic towards the artillery observer!
He returned the certificate to the artillery observer and extended his right hand:
"Comrade, we are here to support the troops that have been held hostage by the Japanese."
"Do you know where that unit and the Japanese troops that are biting them are now?"
Because he was concerned about the troops that were being held hostage by the Japanese.
The regimental commander had no intention of asking the artillery observer where this vehicle, which looked a bit like the Japanese Iron Turtle, came from.
Instead, he asked the artillery observer directly.
But the artillery observer said:
"Little Japs? Aren't they everywhere?"
