Chapter 940: Luxurious Equipment of the Police Station
"Brothers, even though we've reached this point and have almost no heavy fire support, the order from above is to hold this road. If we retreat, we would be letting down the people who raised us. I have decided to fight to the death here."
Captain Zhou looked at his brothers around him and decided that it was time.
"Captain, what are you talking about? You're a man of honor, but do we dare to hide our faces in our pants? Today, brothers, let's die here together, so that you can take care of us on our way to the afterlife."
"The company commander is right. We have over a thousand brothers in our entire regiment, but now we only have about four hundred of them. If we retreat, we won't even be a regiment anymore. Rather than waiting to be reorganized in the future, we might as well fight the Japanese to the death here."
None of the brothers present were cowards. They were all organizing their weapons and equipment. Although they only had grenades and rifles left, if the Japanese rushed up later, they would not let them get away so easily even if they had to replace them one by one.
"Everyone, get your bayonets ready for hand-to-hand combat."
Captain Zhou picked up the rifle of a fallen soldier and tied the bayonet tightly with a bandage. The original bayonet position had been worn out.
Maybe it was caused by the explosion or some other reason, but we can't care about that at the moment. When the Japanese come up later, the whole regiment will be bleeding with bayonets.
Just as they were preparing for hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese in front of them launched a charge.
Hundreds of devils were shouting Japanese, waving their red dots and national flags, and they were approaching step by step. Six of the armored vehicles were continuously spraying machine gun bullets, making it impossible for our brothers to raise their heads.
Captain Zhou frowned. There was nothing to be afraid of in a bayonet fight with the Japs. At worst, we could just exchange one for one. But if these armored vehicles were still there, once the brothers launched a charge, they would be able to kill most of us.
Just when he didn't know what to do, there was a thump-thump sound behind him. Which unit was coming with heavy machine guns?
Captain Zhou and his brothers turned around happily. It turned out that about ten meters behind their position, four jeeps were lined up in a row, and the heavy machine guns on them were firing.
The Japanese soldiers who were charging in the distance were hit on the head, and more than a dozen of them fell down instantly. The armored vehicle in the front was pierced by the 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets.
After the first armored vehicle stopped, the ones behind it moved to the left and right, but the police were well prepared.
While Captain Zhou and the others were stunned, these people had already rushed up from the left and right wings, with their iron fists whizzing and no one was idle.
In an instant, the six armored vehicles turned into six fireballs.
Captain Zhou and his men were dumbfounded. Is this how the Pujiang Police Department fought? No wonder some officers, even if it meant slamming the table with Commander Zhang, insisted on having the Pujiang Police Department join the battle. "We're ready to sacrifice our entire regiment for our country!" Under their onslaught, the Japs were practically unable to hold out. They were already beginning to retreat.
"Mortar fire."
Captain Zhou and his men were just blocked by jeeps. Now, behind the jeeps, six 60mm mortars were ready. The sound of them firing made the brothers feel itchy.
Each mortar only fired ten shells, and sixty shells were fired in an instant. Then two people carried the 60mm mortars as a group and moved quickly. The jeep that was originally responsible for cover in the front also disappeared.
"See? This is the artillery from the Pujiang Police Department. They fire a shot and then move to another location. They're much more flexible than our artillery."
Some veterans have figured out that the artillerymen of the Pujiang Police Department must have trained many times, otherwise they would not have been able to cooperate so well.
It is said that the soldiers of the 88th Division are the best soldiers in the whole of China. Now, compared with the people from the Police Corps in front of us, we feel embarrassed to speak.
"Reporting to the commander, I am Fang Yansong, the captain of the Second Squadron of the Public Security Brigade of the General Police Department."
While Captain Zhou and his men were in shock, a heavy armored vehicle drove up from behind and a man in black military uniform jumped out of the vehicle.
The uniforms of the Pujiang Police Department are very strange. They are all black, similar to the uniforms of a certain European country. They are very conspicuous when worn. The most important thing is their large military boots. Coupled with the appropriate military uniforms, they look very handsome.
Of course, they not only have face, but their fighting power has also been demonstrated to you just now.
"Captain Fang, you guys..."
Although Captain Zhou welcomed these people to support the battle, he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of the order of the Military Commission.
"Don't worry, Commander Zhou. We came here with the approval of the Songhu Garrison Command and the authorization of the Military Commission. This is a copy of the telegram. If you don't believe it, you can call the headquarters for verification."
After hearing Captain Fang's words, Captain Zhou naturally would not seek verification. Since the other party dared to say this, it must be true.
"If you ask me, this should have happened a long time ago. Those guys at the headquarters have been fed up with shit. I don't even bother to tell them off. Our mayor has already slammed the table with them, so I won't say much about the others. Although my brothers didn't achieve much in the battle, they fought the devils and survived. If it's convenient, could you please send them down first?"
Captain Zhou said somewhat embarrassedly that many brothers around were injured, and some were no longer able to fight, so there was no point in staying here.
"The medical soldiers will simply treat the brothers from the 88th Division, then quickly mobilize the heavy armored vehicles and send them back on stretchers."
Captain Fang said without hesitation, "According to what our commander-in-chief said, as long as you are injured on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, you are a hero of our country, regardless of whether you are a central army or a local warlord. As long as you fall into our hands, the field hospital in the rear must do its best to treat you."
Tears welled up in Captain Zhou's eyes. In the past few days, some brother troops had also moved back, hoping to take our wounded with them, but they had refused for various reasons. Now he didn't expect Captain Fang to agree so easily.
"This this……"
The seven or eight medical staff who rushed over took out various hemostatic drugs from their bags, including extremely precious sulfonamides.
Captain Zhou was stunned. In their Central Army, only those above the rank of battalion commander could use this medicine. Now, seeing it in the bags of these ordinary medical staff, he felt that what he saw was fake...
