Chapter 286 The Last Soldier (2)
It was dawn, and the buzzing sound of planes came from the distant sky, and about 10 Japanese planes appeared again.
They flew in the sky that did not belong to them, but they were so powerful. They could see the rising sun flag on their fire planes, like the rising sun, and their hearts were naturally filled with pride as the Yamato nation.
When Gubeikou arrived, the Japanese plane dived.
They have nothing to be afraid of, and they never need to be afraid of, just because they found that the Chinese army on the opposite side did not have air defense weapons.
Then what are they afraid of? They would never mind blowing out a few more holes in the already crippled General Tower of Gubeikou until it completely disappears in this world.
But just after the Japanese plane dived, the Japanese officer in charge of commanding the bombing mission suddenly shouted to stop the bombing.
Because of their unscrupulousness, their planes have already flown low enough.
Because they flew low enough, they could no longer see any signs of Chinese military activity on the Gubeikou position.
The Japanese plane dived and pulled up again, but did not drop the bomb.
Then to confirm, the bombers dived lower again, and their planes flew so low that the wind passing by the wings seemed to blow the artemisia on the ground.
Oh, this metaphor is not right. The ground is already scorched earth, where is there any artemisia grass?
The Japanese planes pulled up again, and then the Japanese planes turned back and flew towards the Japanese positions. They trembled their wings. How could the Japanese army below not understand? So, amid the roar of the planes, the proud cheers of the invaders came from the earth.
The Chinese army retreated, but they actually retreated. They indeed retreated. Although the Chinese army also caused thousands of casualties to their Japanese army, the victory ultimately belonged to their great Japanese Imperial Army!
Under the order of the Japanese officers, the Japanese soldiers walked forward step by step with the long bayonet-mounted Type 38 rifle.
Although they were very frustrated, in their opinion, the Japanese Imperial Army was so majestic when walking.
They walked unscrupulously on Chinese land, and some even stepped on the bodies of dead Chinese soldiers.
All the Japanese army knew what to do next.
The reporters who accompanied them will take photos of them. They will stand in front of the general's tower full of holes, raise the command knife of the Great Japanese Imperial Army and the Type 38 rifle to celebrate the supreme martial arts of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, so that history can remember a moment that is enough to be proud of for them, the Japanese - they finally stepped on the longest mountain that symbolizes China!
This honor undoubtedly belongs to the first Japanese army to reach Gubeikou. There was a skeleton painted on the Japanese army's flag.
The Japanese reporter had already thought about it. In a few days, the title he wrote would appear in the newspapers of the Great Japanese Empire - the Skeleton Squad climbed the Great Wall!
But just when the Japanese reporter raised the Leica camera, gunshots came faintly in the southeast of Gubeikou.
Hum? Is the battle not over yet? All the Japanese soldiers turned their attention to the direction of gunfire.
It was a mountain that the Japanese army did not know about, and it was temporarily called the nameless hill. It is called Maoer Mountain on Chinese land. Although a mountain is steep, it is not very high, and it looks a little unpretentious.
Yes, the battle is still not over, although this time it is just a battle of seven people.
There were seven Chinese soldiers on the mountain. For some reason, they did not receive the order to retreat.
And the Japanese army has already started to take action, so they naturally have to shoot.
"Your large army has retreated, and there are only a few of you left in total. You can surrender!" A shout sounded at the foot of the mountain.
And this is the misfortune of China. No matter which dynasty or the other, there will be traitors.
But the one who answered the shouting was still the sound of gunfire.
In the vast 5,000 years of China, there have been many surrenders in all dynasties, but they have never been brave enough to break their bones, let alone face the invasion of foreign races this time.
The Japanese army began to attack that hill. In the eyes of the Japanese army, the great Japanese Imperial Army has already taken down the Great Wall line. Is it still a small hill that you are?
The Japanese bombers had already flew away.
The Japanese officers who commanded ground operations will never summon the bomber as an army. They have their own pride. It is obvious that there are not many Chinese soldiers on the hill who do not have heavy weapons, but they summon bombers to bomb. Wouldn't it make the Air Force laugh?
It's just that the Japanese army was really wrong.
The first mistake was that they thought there were not many troops on the mountain, and they did not send many people to attack the mountain every time, so they adopted the tactic of adding fuel to the oil.
The second mistake was that gunfire kept sounding on the mountain, including rifles and even a light machine gun.
Although the mountain is not high, it is very steep. The Japanese army attacking the enemy constantly gets shot and falls.
Seeing that the casualties were increasing by a hundred people, the originally arrogant Japanese officer felt something was wrong. He transferred a mortar and exploded on the hill.
When the Japanese officer felt that it was almost the same, the Japanese officer waved his sword and ordered the soldiers to charge.
Sure enough, this time, there was no more shooting of a light gun on the hill. It was obvious that the light machine gun was smashed.
However, the light machine gun did not fire but the rifle fired the same, although it was less than the previous uneven gunfire.
After more than 10 casualties, the Japanese army finally attacked the mountain. At this time, there were no living Chinese soldiers on the hill, and there were seven bloody bodies of Chinese soldiers on it.
At this time, the Japanese officers in charge of commanding the attack on the mountain found that after counting the area around the hill, they found that there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had broken into pieces, which did not include those who were shot and injured and rescued.
Finally, the Japanese officer climbed up the hill. He looked at the seven Chinese soldiers who would rather die than surrender for a moment and remained silent and ordered: "These seven people are Chinese warriors, and they must be buried!"
In the end, on the relatively gentle southern slope of Maoer Mountain, a new tomb was added. The Japanese army also erected a sign with the words "Seven Heroes Tombs".
These seven Chinese soldiers belonging to the 145th Regiment of the 25th Division of the 17th Army became the last Chinese soldiers in the Gubeikou Battle. They failed to withdraw with the troops in time and eventually all died for their country.
If war is like a rushing river, sometimes the death of seven people is just a small wave that has appeared in the river.
As the war progressed later, the Chinese army even forgot to set up a checkpoint in the Maoer Mountain, and the seven soldiers did not return it at all.
After several years, when the Chinese people accidentally went up the mountain, they saw the signs set up by the Japanese army, and they realized that there were 7 ordinary soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
However, after checking the information about China, there was no record at all. In the end, I found out about these seven Chinese soldiers in Japanese newspapers.
How sad? How lucky? Who can explain it clearly?
During the 14-year war of resistance, many unknown heroes of the Chinese nation threw their bodies on the battlefield, but in the end no one knew.
Well, although the Great Wall War of Resistance has not ended yet, Gubeikou was eventually occupied by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army naturally had to clean up the battlefield, burn the corpses of their so-called broken officers and soldiers with fire, and then transport the ashes back to the country by plane.
The Chinese officers and soldiers had already thrown their guns on the battlefield, and they had also gathered them up, and it was impossible for them to leave their guns and ammunition.
The Japanese army continued to go forward, and they needed to continue to attack the Nantianmen.
So one day later, all the entire Gubeikou line was left with countless corpses of the dead Chinese officers and soldiers.
In the days that followed, the weather began to warm up, and wild animals were pecking at the wind, rain, and the bodies of the officers and soldiers turned into bones.
At this time, a monk appeared, with his magic name Mingkai. He took his disciples and called on some villagers to start restraining the remains of these officers and soldiers, and finally found 360 remains.
The monk chose a Feng Shui treasure land, and the people around him began to dig tombs.
However, most of the places are mountainous areas, and even the so-called soil dug out is also stone slag.
"Sincere, how can such a thing be buried in heroes? We Chinese people must be buried in peace!" The old man present said in tears.
So the people who had already come from all over the countryside because of searching for remains brought good soil from all over the place to make new graves for these sacrificed soldiers.
Finally, they built a "meat grave" more than 10 meters high to commemorate the anti-Japanese soldiers who died on the front line of the Gubeikou Great Wall.
If this is the case, it would be fine. Summer has passed, autumn has come again, autumn has come again, winter has come again.
In the cold winter, an old man went up the mountain to chop firewood, but he found another remains of a fallen soldier in the mountain.
He decided to carry the remains to the Megumi tomb. Even if he digs out the frozen soil, he would not expose the soldier's remains to the wilderness.
But he couldn't understand why this soldier died in the mountains?
He didn't know that the soldier was actually a correspondence soldier. He just informed the people on the Maoershan postcard to retreat on the day of his retreat, and happened to be seen by the Japanese army and was shot and killed.
Because of the death of a soldier who delivered the letter, seven soldiers were killed, and these seven soldiers killed hundreds of invaders before they were killed.
Seven ordinary soldiers fought bravely without fear of powerful enemies and were all killed in the end. With this warrior, it is a blessing for China!
