Chapter 192 The belated memorial
Walking on the ruined streets and looking at the collapsed houses and buildings, Hu Biao, who returned to the battlefield, still knew that special bombs had been buried at that location, and that location was relatively safer.
Considering that there may still be warning sentries arranged by the Japanese army lurking in the battlefield that has become ruins, Hu Biao and his party seemed particularly careful when they sneak in. Even if they have the opportunity to hunt those sentries, Hu Biao would signal to bypass them and not take action.
Without knowing how long it takes for the Japanese police post to change defenses, killing these sentries quietly may also alarm the Japanese soldiers stationed nearby. At that time, it will become very troublesome whether they infiltrate or retreat.
Fortunately, judging from the number of Japanese guard sentries discovered, the Japanese army did not attach as much importance to this area as they imagined. The significance of deploying guard posts was also to worry that someone would enter this dangerous place that had become a ruin in the battlefield.
When he actually sneaked into the location of the Presidential Palace, no Japanese guard posts were found around him. In view of this situation, Hu Biao quickly instructed his soldiers to set up a cordon in the ruins near the Presidential Palace.
Once a Japanese patrol or sentry were found coming, he immediately warned Hu Biao and others who were preparing to sneak into the Presidential Palace. After the guard post was arranged, Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou and others put on gas masks.
When the explosion trap was arranged earlier, Hu Biao took several special shells fired by heavy artillery from his portable space. This special shell is sufficient, and the pollution range caused by the explosion is also larger. There should be residual smell in just a few days.
Looking at the presidential palace with many pavilions and towers, Hu Biao felt it was a pity that he could not see a complete house. But when he thought that the Japanese might move in without destroying the presidential palace like this, he felt it was a pity that the Japanese could move in.
The bombed buildings will eventually be rebuilt. Rebuilding on the ruins also means rebirth. Although it is a waste of money, Hu Biao will feel unhappy when he thinks of such a sacred place that the Japanese army has occupied for many years.
Qin Tianyou, who was following Hu Biao, looked at the completely changed presidential palace and said with a little concern: "Captain, look at this, the explosives we buried earlier have turned the presidential palace into the sky. Brothers are afraid that they will all buried inside!"
"It's okay! If you can find it, let's restrain them. If you can't find it, let them stay in the presidential palace and guard this position for us. In a short period of time, the Japanese should not move this land, and brothers can rest in peace!"
Walking in the ruins wearing gas masks, Hu Biao and his party's vision became blurry. Fortunately, the moonlight was brighter tonight, so that Hu Biao and others who were walking in the ruins finally found the bodies of some dead soldiers.
Seeing these mostly incomplete bodies, Hu Biao and others did not feel disgusted at all. They found the body bags they had prepared earlier and put them all into the bags. After the search was over, these corpses would be buried in the woodland where people had been buried before.
When he walked to the lobby of the Presidential Palace that had collapsed and stood on the steps full of bricks and stone tiles, Hu Biao said, "Old Qin, give me what he prepared. Let's be here to pay tribute to those brothers who died in battle and send them their last journey!"
He couldn't find paper money and sandalwood for a while, but there were still candles. If there were no sandalwood, he used cigarettes instead. With the bottles of white wine he found to pay tribute to the officers and soldiers who died in the Presidential Palace, Hu Biao felt that the brothers in the Dead Soldiers camp would not mind.
After lighting the candle, Hu Biao, who tore open a pack of cigarettes, lit three of them in his hands, and whispered to the ruins ahead: "Brothers, I'm back to see you! I, Hu Biao, failed to fight you until the end, I am ashamed!"
Listening to what Hu Biao said, the other soldiers who were staying next to him lit three cigarettes like Hu Biao and bowed to the surroundings. Knowing that time was tight, everyone was lit with their dead comrades.
Qin Tianyou, carrying a bottle of wine, unscrewed the cap and said, "Brothers, I'm here to see you. When I get underground, brothers must unite and fight the Japanese with that guy Liu. This is our territory, don't let the Japanese be too arrogant.
The battalion commander and I are about to leave Jinling, and we may come back that day in the future. These wines were specially prepared by the battalion commander for you. Although we did not guard the presidential palace, this wine is also a celebration wine. Brothers must drink it happily!"
Thinking of Liu Quan giving up the opportunity to live to himself a few days ago, Qin Tianyou knew very well that he would never forget this love. He even decided in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would personally visit Liu Quan's family and take care of his family on behalf of Liu Quan.
When the cigarettes burned out and all the liquor was poured into the ruins, Qin Tianyou also said at the right time: "Captain, it's getting late!"
"Okay, go to the forest next to you and bury the remains of these brothers!"
After paying homage to these officers and soldiers who died in the Presidential Palace, Hu Biao also made up his mind. Although he still felt sorry, Hu Biao knew better what he would do in the future. He could not let down these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Only when they see the day when the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious, more people will know their heroic achievements in the Presidential Palace, and future generations will always remember their merits. At that time, these soldiers should truly die without regrets.
When he came to the woods next to the Presidential Palace, Hu Biao felt a little regretful when he looked at the graves where the soldiers had been buried earlier. Although Hu Biao wanted to erect a monument with them, the current situation did not allow them to do so.
Next to these graves, Hu Biao and others began to dig pits and buried the bodies of the fallen soldiers trapped in the bags with a rifle. If they could recognize their names, Hu Biao also told Qin Tianyou to record them so that they could erect a monument for him in the future.
As for those who cannot identify their identity and name, they can only engrave inscriptions of unknown martyrs in the future. In the war years, there were many names like this. It was impossible to truly not miss a single person.
After burying these confined bodies, Hu Biao saluted again: "Brothers, take care of yourself! I will come to see you again if you have time in the future. Please believe that victory will come one day!"
The other team members who followed Hu Biao also saluted silently. When they met with the guards arranged earlier, Hu Biao and his party finally set out on the road to leave Jinling. On the way to leave the Presidential Palace, Hu Biao chose to avoid the Japanese guard post.
Since he has decided to leave, Hu Biao doesn't want to cause too much trouble. Once it is exposed during the raid, their road to leaving the city will become extremely dangerous. At this time, as the commander, Hu Biao should also consider the safety of his subordinates.
Through this trip to Jinling, Hu Biao finally realized that sometimes he was too impulsive to do things. Although some sacrifices were inevitable, Hu Biao always felt guilty when facing the officers and soldiers who died in the Presidential Palace.
If he didn't come to Jinling, if he didn't insist on defending the presidential palace, perhaps these officers and soldiers might not die. Although his appearance saved many lives, it also changed a lot of destiny.
Back to the meeting place earlier and ordered the troops to go on the road, Hu Biao looked deeply at the direction where the Presidential Palace was located, and finally set out on the way to leave Jinling without hesitation. As for when he would return to Jinling, Hu Biao dared not have any guarantee.
The only thing that can be guaranteed is that when the situation in Jinling stabilizes, he will return to Jinling. Perhaps at that time, he will cause endless waves in Jinling City, allowing the invaders and traitors who occupied the city to feel fear.
The next day, the troops patrolling the Presidential Palace routinely found traces of burning candles on the ruins and the smell of white wine left behind in the ruins next to them, which immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese army responsible for the surrounding vigilance.
"Baga! Yesterday was the army responsible for patrol and guarding, why did someone break into the ruins of the Presidential Palace and didn't find it? Damn, who are those guys? What are their intentions to enter the Presidential Palace?"
When these situations were reported to the Japanese Army Command, Matsui Ishien, who was always worried that Hu Biao should not die, immediately ordered: "Let the Special High School Department closely collect information about Hu Biao, and you must find out whether this guy is dead or alive.
If possible, let our lurkers take a photo of him as much as possible. If possible, let the Special High School try every means to kill him. I have a gut feeling that the person who broke into the Presidential Palace last night should be this Hu Biao!"
Thinking of the people who sneaked into the ruins of the Presidential Palace and paid tribute to the people with cigarettes, liquor and candles, Matsui Ishione felt that those who dared to do such things must be brave people. Most importantly, their penetration ability is very powerful.
Based on what Hu Biao did when he entered Jinling, Matsui Ishigen felt that this adventurous style was very consistent with Hu Biao's combat style. The 18th Division would suffer such heavy casualties, which was more due to Hu Biao's frequent tricks.
Who would have thought that Hu Biao had such great ability to receive all the abandoned weapons and ammunition of the defending troops before the Japanese army entered the city. At the first time, he forcibly recruited a large number of defeated troops hiding in the city.
Even a little crazy, they drove away the people near the Presidential Palace in advance and buried a large amount of explosives in the streets and houses where the people lived. This combat method that the Japanese army had never encountered before led to frequent injuries and failures in the 18th Division.
Chen Gongshu, who had already moved to **, received the latest information from intelligence personnel. He learned that the Japanese army had sent more guard troops in the ruins of the Presidential Palace, and also smiled and said, "It seems that the Japanese should have discovered that Hu Biao and the others have been back!"
As for the instructions given by Matsui Ishigen to the Special High School, Chen Gongshu naturally didn't know. But in fact, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the lonely army camp detained in Shanghai, there were also the avenge camp in Anhua Mountain, and not many people knew about Hu Biao.
In addition, even if the Special High School investigates Hu Biao's identity information, it is probably not a big threat to Hu Biao. As for the lurking spies who want to take a photo of Hu Biao, it is even more unlikely.
From the day he entered the enemy's rear, Hu Biao was alert to the Japanese spies who might be lurking around him. Whether it was the Dead Soldiers' Camp or the Avengers' Camp, if you want to become his subordinate, you must first register and have a true and credible identity.
Even if you have the opportunity to sneak into Hu Biao's army, it is not easy to find an opportunity to get close to Hu Biao. Many times, Hu Biao rarely stays in the army, and more time his figure is active on the front line battlefield!
