my bright sword career

Chapter 532 Overcoming it

Behind a bombed-out wall at the Ping'an County Railway Station, a group of heavy soldiers were burning cipher books and other secret documents in front of several furnaces.

And in the strongest basement of the train station, the head of the 47th Division, Tongzheng, had ordered the No. The flags were burned to prevent them from falling into enemy hands.

Perhaps after today, whether it is the three regiments or the No.40 Seventh Division, it will cease to exist like the 10th Division. Those hateful Chinese troops have launched a general attack from several directions. The first [-] minutes ago The [-]st Alliance has lost contact.

As the gunshots approached, everything could not be changed.

For this reason, he even leapfrogged to send a telegram for help to the headquarters of the Dispatched Forces in China thousands of miles away, and the commander-in-chief of the stationed in China, General Hatatoshi Sixth General, instructed that the 47th Division must not take a step back, even if the If you die, you must die in Ping'an County. The empire can have divisions that have not been defeated, but there are no divisions that have surrendered.

After making all the preparations, Dazu Tongzhen gathered all the subordinates in the division headquarters who were still able to fight, that is, more than 60 staff members of the division headquarters, in the basement of the train station, and stood with a knife in his left hand. There was a trace of majesty and sadness on Tongzhen's face. This injured arm was grazed by a large-caliber machine gun bullet on the retreating train.

"Since this morning, the Chinese army has launched a surprise attack on us until now!"

Speaking of this, Dasu Tongzhen's words paused.

"The gentlemen were able to overcome many difficulties and obey orders, and fought bravely against the overwhelmingly superior Chinese army in terms of firepower and tanks. For this, I and the headquarters are deeply admired.

However... Although the 47 imperial troops of the [-]th Division fought bravely, we were facing the Chinese army armed to the teeth. The imperial warriors also persisted in fighting to the end, but they still could not escape the fate of destruction.

But gentlemen are not more than sad. The 47th Division is not the first division of the Empire to die, and it will certainly not be the last, but our sacrifice is valuable.

At least we bought time for the retreat of the Sixth Division, and at this last hour, I beg you all.

You are all warriors of the empire, you must not be eager to die, but live proudly, kill the enemy as much as possible and fight for the country with seven lives. Use the blood of the Chinese to wash away our shame... Please! "

As soon as the voice fell, Tong Zhen bowed to the remaining strength of the 47th Division in front of him, and the staff officers and officers in the basement with guns returned the salute at the same time.

From the telegram received from Gangcun Ningci in Taiyuan a few hours ago, Gangcun Ningci ordered the 47th Division in the telegram to be the main force to stick to the railway station in Ping'an County.

However, the Sixth Division, which is far stronger than them, is stationed in the northernmost city, so that they can evacuate at any time. They already know that their fate is doomed, and now it is just the last moment.

Although they have long been psychologically prepared for their own ending, some people are still unwilling.

His senior adjutant, Major Morita Kiyoyuki, asked with red eyes: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, why are we sticking to the train station instead of the Sixth Division? Are we second-class divisions born to be abandoned?"

Osako Tongzhen was speechless, and in the end, Chief of Staff Someya Hanjiro shouted: "Morita-kun, we are all imperial soldiers, since you put on this military uniform, you should understand that this day will come sooner or later. It's just fulfilling our promise to His Majesty the Emperor, what do you care about?
If you don't want to die in battle, I can allow you to break out in the opposite direction when we attack! "

Morita Kiyoyuki couldn't speak anymore, just lowered his head and wept silently.

At 33:[-] p.m., Dapo Tongzhen sent the last farewell telegram.

"...The war situation has reached its final juncture. After the 47th Division was surrounded by the Chinese army, the heroic resistance of all the soldiers of the imperial army can be called shocking.

What is gratifying is that the officers of the headquarters even led a team to launch a meat bomb attack, blowing up seven Chinese chariots, forcing the Chinese chariot troops to retreat.

Now that I have held the burning ceremony of the military flag, all the soldiers of the imperial army remember the great kindness of the emperor and the empire to us, and they will never regret it even if they are smashed to pieces. I once again pray for the victory of the empire. Farewell... No. 40 Commander of the Seventh Division Osako Tongzhen, July 17, Showa [-]"

After confirming the telegram, Dasa Tongzhen, holding a command knife, assembled the last reserve team of the 47th Division in the half-destroyed train station... More than two hundred people from the headquarters of the 47th Division Staff officers, guards and signalmen.

After nearly six or seven hours of fierce fighting, Dali Tongzhen even sent out all the supply troops in his hands, and now most of the resistance inside and outside the train station are handymen and supply troops.

"Everyone... the last moment has come, the Great Japanese Empire... the emperor!"

"The Great Japanese Empire class... Emperor class! Class!"

Desperate and fanatical staff officers and soldiers frantically followed and clamored together with their division commanders, and the wounded who were leaning against the wall also waved their arms and shouted that they had received grenades for suicide or bayonet.

"boom!"

The mortar shells that fell into the station interrupted the final clamor of these beasts, and then the chief of staff, Someya Hanjiro, led the crowd to bow to the commander of the division, and then took the lead to rush out of the crumbling train station.

It's just that as soon as they rushed out of the train station, they were immediately attacked by the mortar and machine gun fire of the independent regiment. The commandos of the independent regiment had even attacked less than 50 meters away from the train station.

"Whoosh..."

Monk Wei, who was charging right behind Li Yunlong, grabbed his regiment leader, and then the bullets that passed by his neck made Li Yunlong, who led the troops to charge, feel a burning pain in his neck, but after walking around the gate of hell, The thrills did not stop Li Yunlong.

"Zhang Dabiao, lead a battalion to the left wing to detour! Let me blow up that wall, let me attack!"

Lin Long, waving an MP40 submachine gun, picked up a loudspeaker from a guard behind him and yelled loudly. At this moment, Li Yunlong was surprised to see that the Japanese soldiers who had been guarding the station suddenly rushed out of the bunker like crazy. Holding a bayonet, he rushed towards them desperately.

"Banzai!"

Ignoring the heavy rain of bullets, the Japanese soldiers with bayonets charged desperately under the command of the officers wielding command knives, trying to use bayonets to fight to the death with the enemies close at hand. The desperate counterattack in front of him completely turned into a one-sided massacre, and soon this small open space turned into a slaughterhouse.
