The Republic of Heroes

Yamada finally led the people to climb up to the north bank, but he learned a good lesson and did not go ashore at Qiyakou, which was directly facing the north. Instead, he took advantage of the cover of night and went downstream along the Yangtze River for nearly It took ten miles to climb to the shore exhausted.

The surviving soldiers of the 24th Brigade who climbed ashore one after another lay down all over the ground in disarray. After experiencing the shipwreck and exhausting swimming, the last bit of strength in their bodies was almost exhausted.But Yamada knew that they were not out of danger at this moment. If there was a Chinese army here, even one company could kill them.So he struggled to get up and form a team. After falling into the water, the organizational system of each squadron was disrupted long ago. Now the people gathered around him have their own subordinates. If they want to effectively control them, they must be reorganized.

So Yamada counted the number of people almost at the fastest speed, and there were 981 people gathered around him. This number is not small, but it still made him feel sad, after all, there were almost 4000 people when they set off.He still remembered that Commander Gangcun came to the scene very low-key before boarding the ship and made a short speech, roughly meaning that he looked forward to the successful return of the 24th Brigade, and the success of the 24th Brigade was directly related to the situation in Shanghai. Therefore, I hope that everyone will do their best to fight for the emperor and the imperial country.

The smug guarantee at that time is still vivid in my memory, but now I am exhausted like a bereaved dog with wet body.However, after all, Yamada is a major general of the army, and he quickly cleared this pessimistic mood from his mind. Even if the situation is so difficult, he will fight for the imperial country and the emperor until his death.Jiangbei is different from Jiangnan on the front line from Nanjing to Shanghai. Jiangnan is full of China's elite army. If they want to make a difference, they have to face tens of thousands of Chinese troops. Jiangbei is completely different. According to the information of the Army Ministry, here Since it is no longer within the security range of the capital of China, it is controlled by the local small warlords. To be honest, he really didn't take these small Chinese warlords seriously.

At this time, the advantage of the high discipline of the Japanese army emerged. In just a quarter of an hour, more than 600 people had been reorganized. Yamada organized these people into a regiment with two brigades and one The headquarters is directly under the company.After counting, to his surprise, more than [-] of the more than [-] people still had weapons in their hands, and there were more than [-] pieces of guns of various lengths, and even two machine gunners dragged two light machine guns ashore. , which was definitely a surprise.

After everything was ready, there was fog on the river again, and the sky was so overcast that it seemed that water could drip at any time. He decided to take someone to get some food, and only when he was full could he carry out the grand plan he had conceived in his heart.

The pathfinding soldiers sent out soon came back and reported that there was a small fishing village not more than one kilometer away from their position at nine o'clock.

Yamada was overjoyed, God Amaterasu blesses them, saving them from having to endure the hungry trek. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the Chinese people have already prepared breakfast for the imperial soldiers."

After walking for less than 10 minutes, a sloping field flashed past, and the eyes immediately opened up. I saw the smoke rising from the village not far away. Pulled back to reality.

"Go in, kill them all, men, women, old and young!" The Japanese soldiers immediately became excited, like wild wolves who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly smelled blood, their eyes emitted a faint green light.

Yamada gave this order not to kill him. At this time, he has not reached the level of madness of the Japanese invaders in Wu Xiaoliang's previous life, and he only kills for fun.He wanted to kill everyone in the village in order not to reveal their whereabouts, that is, to kill people to silence them.

But at the moment when everyone was about to act, Ichiro Fujita, the former captain of the first regiment who had just been appointed as the chief of staff of the brigade, suddenly changed his expression drastically and stopped in front of Yamada.

"Your Excellency, wait a moment, there is a problem in the mountain village."

Seeing Fujita's move, Yamada hurriedly raised his binoculars to observe the village carefully, seeing that it didn't matter, cold sweat dripped down his forehead immediately.There is actually a Chinese army stationed in this unnamed small fishing village in Jiangbei, and it seems that there is at least one battalion.Fortunately, Fujita discovered this situation in time, otherwise they rushed forward rashly, and the consequences would be disastrous.

The attack stopped immediately. Not only could we no longer attack this small fishing village, but we had to stay away from here, away from this Chinese army.But this kind of feeling is extremely uncomfortable, as if he was going to fight a female overlord, but later found that the target was not only a woman, but also a man, and he could turn him back at any time, it was extremely absurd.

In desperation, Yamada quietly left the small fishing village with his hungry subordinates. After a detour, he immediately headed north.Presumably the Chinese people must have arranged considerable defenses along the river.Therefore, his most suitable route is to go all the way north, leaving the Yangtze River far behind, so that they will be safer.

Fortunately, after bypassing a hill, the entire terrain was flat. More than 900 people marched in a hurry for more than an hour and did not see the village again. The sharp-eyed soldier suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, there is a river ahead!"

Is there a river ahead?Yamada was confused, and when he raised his binoculars to take a look, he was taken aback.I saw a big river in front of me, no less wide than the Yangtze River behind me.

"This...this this..."

He stuttered involuntarily. As the supreme commander of the brigade that invaded China, Yamada knew a thing or two about China's hydrology and terrain. There is only one large river of this size in Jiangsu, the Yangtze River, and there may be other small rivers. The surface of the river tends to be invisible at a glance, and the width is at least five kilometers away. What else can there be besides the Yangtze River?

But last night, I had already crossed the Yangtze River. This... this... which river is this again?He was so confident that he suddenly lost his mind. If they hadn't lost their way and turned around, it would be unimaginable that there would be two big rivers in such a short distance!Obviously, in this kind of flat terrain, the possibility of getting lost is almost zero... At this critical stall, the soldiers who explored the road from a distance shouted while running:

"A team of Chinese cavalry come from the west!"

Yamada was startled again, there is a flat surface here, even if he wants to hide, it's too late, if he can't hide, let's fight!

"Everyone is ready to fight immediately, and you must not let anyone go alive, do you understand?"

The head of the brigade had a stern voice, and the soldiers were all startled, and then they all put on an expression of anticipation. They didn't care if there was a big river in front of them, and finally someone could vent their grievances that had been pent up all night.

At the same time, in a small fishing village twenty miles to the south, a tall and handsome major officer was restlessly circling around in a small fisherman's courtyard. He thought he had been avenged by the commander surnamed Wu. How could there be ghosts in this place where the birds don't shit?
