Chapter 880: Beautiful Mountains and Clear Waters, High Sun
At the same time, he was deeply moved.
In order to avoid being held accountable, Lin Ze was willing to take the risk and issue an investigation report.
He pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is feasible. How about this, you write the report, and I'll have Hua Guzheng sign it!"
Lin Ze's facial muscles twitched. He tried hard not to laugh and instead asked worriedly, "Will he sign?"
Okamura shook his head. "Why did he come here? To make a contribution. As long as he signs, I will personally commend him for his contribution to this battle to the headquarters!"
Next, Lin Ze began to clean up the scene. He threw all the corpses into the raging fire and cremated them on the spot.
The bullet casings and traces of battle at the scene were cleaned up.
The general said it was an accident, so it was an accident, there was no attack, no battle.
..........
May 8th.
Early in the morning, a thin mist rose in the mountains.
Tang Fochuan was worried at the Third Army headquarters.
It's dawn, and the Japanese planes are coming again.
In yesterday's battle, not many soldiers actually died in combat. Most of them died in machine gun fire and bombing.
After about half an hour, there was no roar in the sky.
Commander Tang couldn't help but wonder, why didn't the Japanese planes come?
"Commander! The Japs are coming!"
Commander Tang widened his eyes. There was no plane!
"Tell all positions! Hold on!"
Then he spread out the map and fell into deep thought.
If there were no planes harassing and conducting reconnaissance from the air, perhaps there would be a new turning point on the battlefield.
The problem of the Third Army now is that it is trapped in a narrow area between Wangyuan and the Yellow River. The Japanese have tanks. Once the Third Army is completely surrounded, the Japanese can cut the meat with a blunt knife. They can break through the first line of defense today and the second line of defense tomorrow. In a few days, they can trap the Third Army to death.
The reason why the Third Army could not break out was, on the one hand, that the Japanese were defending tightly, and on the other hand, there were constant aerial reconnaissance and bombing by planes. Once a large-scale breakout march was launched, it would be immediately discovered and then subjected to indiscriminate bombing. The Third Army could not afford such heavy losses.
"What's happening with the 80th Army?"
"Commander, the 80th Army is still putting up a stubborn resistance in the Pinglu area. Commander Kong sent a telegram saying that the 165th Division's defense line can still hold, but the newly formed th Division is at its last gasp and won't hold out for much longer!"
At this moment, another person came into the command center. "Report! Commander! The 27th Division has sent a telegram. The 247th Regiment, which is no longer capable of fighting, is temporarily withdrawing south. Commander Wang is personally leading the reserve troops to the defense line. Commander Wang said that if a soldier fails to succeed, he will die. If he cannot defeat the Japanese, he will die on the battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Jun sighed.
The newly formed 27th Division originated from the Shaanxi Army, and its commander was from Pucheng. The "Qin Province Lengwa" was famous for crossing the river to guard Zhongtiao Mountain, but it was not a regular army after all. Whether it was weapons and equipment or food and salary supplies, it was far behind its friendly forces.
After a while, Commander Tang made a decisive statement: "The Japanese planes didn't come today. This is very unusual. Something must have happened. In any case, we can't wait any longer. Once the Japanese cut off our contact with the 80th Army and then surrounded us from three directions, we would be dead without a burial place. For now, our troops should break out to the north, regroup in the Wenxi area, and then attack from the north and south with the 80th Army. If it is possible, the Zhangdian defense line may be re-established. If it is not possible, the th Army can cross the Yellow River to the south, and we can move to the northwest. Only in this way can we preserve our manpower and continue to deal with the Japanese! Quickly draft a telegram and inform Commander Kong of this plan!"
"Yes!"
Maojin Ferry.
The ferry was already overcrowded at this time. The fleeing people, merchants, landlords and even defeated soldiers were all eager to cross the Yellow River here and flee south.
But there are not so many ferries!
For a moment, there was chaos and people were crying and horses were neighing. Some people even fought each other just to get a place on the boat.
On the dock, a woman wearing a green satin jacket, baggy trousers, and a pair of red shoes with blue pompoms was looking around anxiously.
This woman is very pretty, but the way she is dressed, you can tell at a glance that she is a prostitute.
It was not until the afternoon that a group of people finally arrived from the west. Everyone was injured, and some soldiers were carrying simple stretchers. It seemed that they were retreating from the battlefield to the rear.
Although this group of people retreated, fortunately they still maintained their team and did not become a defeated army.
The woman saw the troops and quickly stepped forward to ask, "General, General! Have you seen the people from the 247th Regiment?"
"General! Have you seen the people from the 247th Regiment?"
"Brother Jun, does anyone know where the people from the 247th Regiment are?"
Several groups of people passed by, all rushing to the ferry, and no one paid any attention to him.
After asking for a long time, a man lying on a stretcher finally struggled to speak, "I am from the 247th Regiment. Who are you looking for?"
The woman's face was filled with excitement. She rushed over and knelt beside the stretcher. "I'm looking for Fang Pengxing. I'm looking for Fang Pengxing. He said that if we can retreat, he will take me south with him. Brother Jun, do you know Fang Pengxing?"
The man on the stretcher had a bloody leg and a bandage wrapped around his head. He cried uncontrollably upon hearing this, wailing, "Look for Captain Fang! Look for Captain Fang! Captain Fang has died! The Japanese killed him! You must be Captain Fang's lover. Come cross the river with us!"
The woman was stunned.
After a while, the soldiers could no longer wait for her, and the team continued to move towards the ferry, but the woman remained kneeling there.
She knelt until dusk, then the woman stood up trembling and walked to the ferry.
Apart from a few military ferries transporting goods back and forth, the remaining civilian ships were still being fought over.
The woman opened the package and took out two large yellow croakers. "Let the one with the baby go first!"
The boatman hesitated for a moment, then took the big yellow croaker and said, "This is the military officer's wife. She said that those with children should go first!"
Hearing this, the woman smiled miserably.
She stood by the ferry, neither getting on board nor speaking again.
After a while, he suddenly started singing a song.
"The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, the sun is high, and the wind is blowing.
The little boat came over, rocking along the way.
For the one I love, I get up so early.
No matter how long the road is, I would rather work harder.
The mountains are beautiful, the water is clear, the sun is high, and the wind is blowing.
I was thinking about him all the time and was very anxious.
Because of the person in my heart, I can't sleep.
I'm just afraid that I won't be able to find him. What should I do?
..............”
This is a widely circulated folk song, which was later adapted into the song "Do You Know?"
The people at the ferry had no time to look at her or listen to the music.
After singing the song, the woman took two quick steps and reached the shore, weeping miserably, "Fang Lang, I will follow you now!"
Then he plunged into the river, was swept away by the current, and disappeared without a trace.
