    In the corner of a house, Xia Yang saw a mother and daughter, trembling and huddled in the corner.

    Everyone in the town had already evacuated, but for some unknown reason, the mother and daughter stayed in the corner of the house, not daring to move rashly.

    Xia Yang walked over with a few people and asked, "Why didn't you evacuate?"

    The woman raised her head and said in a choked voice: "My husband was killed in the bombing. Where are he going?"

    The moment the woman raised her head, Xia Yang felt a sense of surprise.

    Although she is completely bare-faced and her face is still stained with some dust, it can still be seen that this woman is very young and has a very beautiful appearance.  There is a kind of nobility in her stubborn eyes, and she looks like a lady at first glance.  In this war-torn place, it seemed very abrupt.

    At this time, Xia Yang noticed that next to the woman was a man who was killed by a Japanese mortar shell.

    The man died in a miserable state, with half of his body blown away.

    In the woman¡¯s arms is a quiet little girl.

    The little girl is only three or four years old and looks very cute.  It's just that she is still young and doesn't seem to understand why her father is lying on the ground motionless.

    He just raised his head and murmured to his mother: "Mom, why aren't daddy still sleeping? He said he would take me to play in Beiping City tomorrow!"

    Seeing this scene, Xia Yang felt a throbbing pain in his heart.

    He had long known that the Japanese army was inhumane, but now that he had seen such a tragic scene with his own eyes, Xia Yang could not help but tremble all over, wishing to crush the Japanese army on the opposite side to ashes.

    As a Chinese, Xia Yang has known since he was a child how many inhumane things the Japanese army did during the war of aggression against China.  He once visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall. The Japanese atrocities shown in those photos and documents made Xia Yang's scalp numb even when he thought about it now.

    He also once fantasized about going back to the anti-Japanese era and driving those small Japanese to the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish.

    "Unexpectedly, by chance, he actually traveled to this era, and had the opportunity to face off against these inhumane guys. Xia Yang was naturally not willing to let go of this opportunity.

    Xia Yang took a deep breath, eyes full of hatred, and looked at the Japanese army positions in the south of the town, and then said to the Chinese soldiers behind him: "Brothers, the Japanese army is tyrannical, and we, the great China, have no room for concession."  The land. If we don¡¯t resist, you, my wife and our children will one day be like this mother and daughter, huddled in a corner, shivering under the roar of Japanese artillery fire. We may even be raped by the Japanese army and ravaged by them!"

    When the soldiers of the national army behind Xia Yang heard these words, they all thought of their wives, children and mothers.

    They knew that the battalion commander¡¯s words were not alarmist. What fell today was Beiping City, and what might fall tomorrow would be their respective hometowns.

    Thinking of this, they became excited and their bodies, which were originally a little tired, gained strength at this time.  Under the leadership of several platoon leaders, they ran towards the front position.

    Seeing the high morale of the national army officers and soldiers, Xia Yang knew that his chances of winning had increased.

    Xia Yang walked up to the mother and daughter and said in as gentle a voice as possible: "You can retreat with us! If you continue to stay here, you will die."

    After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the forward position.

    The mother and daughter looked at Xia Yang with grateful eyes. At this time, the little girl in the woman's arms suddenly asked with watery eyes: "Sister, why do we pretend to be mother and daughter!"

    The woman scraped the little girl's nose and said, "Han Ling, don't talk nonsense, just do what my sister told you. Otherwise, they might not take us with them when they break out."

    After saying this, she looked at Xia Yang's back under the setting sun with a long look.  In her eyes, the figure of the officer who was directing the soldiers to set up positions looked very majestic.

    Before Xia Yang traveled to this era, he was a special soldier of China and was familiar with all kinds of combat knowledge.  He also made detailed arrangements for the firepower configuration on the position for his soldiers.

    After arranging these, it has taken more than half an hour.

    But when he looked at the weak firepower on the position, the worry in his heart still did not diminish by half.

    Because of the long-term battle consumption and the lack of any logistical supplies, their ammunition is very scarce at this time.  Many soldiers even started picking up Japanese weapons to use.

    In this severe situationUnder this situation, even if they can withstand the next wave of Japanese attacks, how to break out from here is still a big problem.  The Japanese army's solid defense line cannot be solved by a single charge.

    Xia Yang asked Hu San: "Hu San, I remember I drove a jeep over. Where is that jeep now?"

    Xia Yang clearly remembers that he retreated here in a jeep, which was assigned to him by the division commander Zhao Dengyu and was said to be imported from the United States.  Xia Yang was Master Zhao's favorite general. Master Zhao was reluctant to use it, so he gave it to him.

    Thinking of this famous anti-Japanese general, Xia Yang's eyes lit up.  A few days ago, Commander Zhao had died heroically in a battle with the Japanese army.  He thought that if he had come a few days earlier, he would have rescued Commander Zhao from the Japanese artillery fire.

    Hu San immediately led Xia Yang to the military jeep.

    Both tires of the Jeep had been punctured by bullets. It was parked on a street full of ruins. Bullet holes could still be seen on the doors and windshield of the Jeep.

    "Batalion Commander, what are you doing with this jeep? The tires of this car have been blown out and it can't be driven!" Hu San asked Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang unscrewed the fuel tank of the jeep and suddenly showed a look of joy when he saw most of the tank of gasoline inside.

    He opened the trunk of the jeep and found a barrel of gasoline and two large boxes of foreign wine.  The foreign wine was originally given by Commander Zhao as a reward to him and the soldiers, because Xia Yang's battalion had made contributions in resisting the Japanese attack in Wanping City.

    Xia Yang originally planned to use it to celebrate victory after the victory in the defense of Peking.  However, he would not have thought that after the Japanese army used a delaying tactic to gather heavy troops, the higher-ups issued an order for the troops to retreat, almost handing over the city of Beiping to the Japanese army.

    But Xia Yang also knew that even if the 29th Army continued to defend Peiping, it would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack.

    When the Japanese army attacked Beiping City, almost all of them were the most elite Class A divisions in the country.  Not only are they well-equipped, but the quality of their soldiers is not comparable to that of the 29th Army.  The only reason why the 29th Army has the advantage is its extremely high morale and its determination to defend the country to the death.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
