113: Chapter 113 The Division Commander Ran Away
Wang Ye saw this scene, his heart deeply shocked.
This desperate fighting left him stunned for a moment.
In such a situation where ammunition was exhausted, these Chinese Soldiers used guns to smash and mouths to bite.
Whatever could kill the enemy, they used.
Even if limbs were broken, they could still use teeth to kill.
The viewers in the livestream room were stunned.
They had never seen such a fighting style.
The level of gore exceeded their imagination; previous battles were okay, although also a bit bloody.
But the fighting style they saw now was breaking their worldview.
They were all afraid that the livestream room might be banned.
"Damn, this is too ruthless."
"This is too desperate."
"This real battlefield still exceeds my imagination."
"Can this footage be broadcast? Will the livestream room be banned?"
Although the Chinese authorities did not have too many restrictions on adult livestreams, such a bloody scene felt like it should be paid attention to.
"Brother Wang, be careful, don't get the livestream banned."
"That's right, this scene is too tragic. Even someone like me with strong mental fortitude can't bear to watch; if it were someone with poor mental fortitude, they would probably be scared into having psychological trauma."
Facing such fierce Chinese Soldiers, many Japanese were scared.
This life-risking, primal beast-like slaughter made them feel fear in their hearts.
They watched helplessly as the Chinese Soldiers bit the necks of their imperial soldiers, refusing to let go.
Even if bayonets pierced their bodies, they still would not let go.
In the end, this Chinese Soldier and the Japan imperial soldier died together.
Seeing this scene, they were terrified.
Although these Japanese were elite, facing such a situation, they were still scared into a daze.
Some Japanese wanted to retreat.
But at this time on the battlefield, daring to retreat meant death.
These Japanese could only bite the bullet and continue to attack.
The battle continued until the afternoon.
Wang Ye fought while retreating, constantly moving through the battlefield.
Chen Zheng followed him closely.
There were a few others with them, all from the same squad.
They coordinated in groups of three on the battlefield; when the ammunition in their hands ran out, they would strip the Japanese corpses on the ground.
When they saw Japanese, they would shoot to ambush.
They would fire a few shots and change locations.
The position they were in was not the most intense part of the battle; the few of them ran around and did not encounter many Japanese.
At this time, at the top of Yuhuatai, at the 88th Division Command Post, Division Commander Sun Yuan heard the adjutant's report, his face looking ugly.
"Division Commander, the situation is lost, Yuhuatai can no longer be held; if we continue to stay, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out." The Chief of Staff sighed from the side.
"Retreat, Division Commander, continuing to stay here is of no use." The Chief of Staff looked at Division Commander Sun Yuan, speaking in a deep tone.
He had long seen that Division Commander Sun Yuan wanted to retreat.
Likewise, he also wanted to retreat in his heart.
The current situation was clear; it was impossible to continue holding Yuhuatai.
By tomorrow at the latest, the Japanese would be able to capture Yuhuatai.
If they did not retreat now, they would all have to stay here.
"I am the 88th Division Commander, the Chinese Soldiers are still fighting, how can I retreat?" Division Commander Sun Yuan shook his head, saying righteously.
"Division Commander, you are the spiritual pillar of our 88th Division; if you sacrifice yourself here, it will be a great loss for our China." The Chief of Staff continued to plead.
"We all request that you, Division Commander, retreat from Yuhuatai to preserve the seeds of the 88th Division. As long as you, Division Commander, are still here, our 88th Division will still exist." Inside the Command Post, a group of officers all made the same request.
Seeing this, Division Commander Sun Yuan sighed helplessly: "Sigh, since you say so, then I have no choice but to agree."
Subsequently, taking advantage of the twilight that had just arrived, Division Commander Sun Yuan took off his military uniform, put on tattered coarse cloth clothes, and under the protection of his Guard, disguised himself as a refugee and retreated down the mountain.
Then he followed the refugees and fled Yuhuatai.
As night fell, Vice Division Commander Liao Qi gathered four hundred remnants.
Wang Ye was among them.
They gathered on the position at the top of Yuhuatai, with only the last two hundred meters of the entire position remaining.
"Have you heard? The Division Commander has retreated, and only we are left here." At this moment, a soldier suddenly spoke with a bitter smile.
Wang Ye heard his words and was instantly confused.
What was this situation?
"What situation?" A soldier asked.
"I do not know, I only know that the Command Post is empty; the Vice Division Commander is still here, but the Division Commander has already retreated." The soldier shook his head.
He had heard this news from someone else.
At this moment, these four hundred remaining Chinese Soldiers all knew that the Division Commander had retreated.
To put it nicely, he retreated.
To put it bluntly, he fled.
And he fled without notifying them.
If he had given an order for them to cover the retreat, they might not have had so much resentment.
But he just ran away.
Even Vice Division Commander Liao Qi did not know.
As the Vice Division Commander, he originally wanted to return to the Command Post to report on the battle situation, but when he walked into the Command Post, he saw it was empty.
This directly made him feel like the sky had collapsed.
At the same time, he was extremely angry.
How could the Division Commander retreat without saying a word?
What would this make those Chinese Soldiers who were still fighting on the battlefield think?
Helpless, he could only gather the remnants.
The current battlefield situation was already irreversible.
Vice Division Commander Liao Qi could understand the Division Commander's thinking, but abandoning his own soldiers to retreat alone was a shameful thing.
At this time, Wang Ye heard that the Division Commander had retreated.
The viewers in the livestream room immediately exploded.
"My goodness, the Division Commander just ran away?"
"He ran without even saying a word? Is this a retreat? Isn't this just fleeing?"
"If this Division Commander had not run, I would have thought highly of him, but now he actually ran; is this the Division Commander of the 88th Division?"
"The Chinese Soldiers are fighting so desperately, and the Division Commander ran away first?"
They did not expect that the Division Commander would actually run away.
So they also knew that it was highly likely that Yuhuatai could not be held.
But not being able to hold it and not bothering to hold it were two different things.
If it was truly hopeless, notifying all surviving Chinese Soldiers to retreat would be acceptable to them.
But fleeing without notice left them dumbfounded.
You know, the 88th Division was elite among Chinese Soldiers.
How could the Division Commander of such an elite unit be like this?
But now that the Division Commander had already run away, there was no point in discussing it further.
At night, no one could sleep.
Because they all knew that when the Japanese attacked tomorrow, they would definitely not survive the day.
Anyone who knew that they were unlikely to survive until tomorrow would not have any sleepiness.
Wang Ye also could not sleep; the Division Commander's escape was beyond his expectations.
In the early morning, the sky outside was not yet bright.
Vice Division Commander Liao Qi glanced at the watch on his wrist, it was five o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he stood up, the surrounding Chinese Soldiers also stood up.
Soon, all the Chinese Soldiers stood up.
He looked at these Chinese Soldiers who had stood up and sighed in his heart.
He told everyone to get ready for battle; although he knew they were destined not to survive today, he still wanted to make a fight of it.
As long as they could hold on, they would hold on.
He did not want to retreat like Division Commander Sun Yuan; no matter what, such behavior would inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
