1319 Old Pictures of the Republic of China (17)
'Smack!'
"Bastard, is this what you call the entry point? Do you know how long it takes to cut through here to get into Heijo? Where do you think the entrances to the major roads in Heijo are set up?"
"Is their moat digging again?"
This is equivalent to taking an extra hour's journey, and it is too easy for various situations to occur in the process of traveling.
No wonder the garrison only put the strength of one company, if it weren't for the traces of the existence of the village here, people would not even bother to arrange the strength of this company.
The commander was very disgusted by Inoda's stupidity.
But they have already dragged their equipment here, and if they don't fight, it seems that they can't say anything.
Inukai Jiro, who sighed, gave the order to attack with a wave of his command knife.
This kind of shabby place, just fight it casually, right?
As for the rest of the push?
Inukai Jiro glanced at the pig field who nodded next to him, and closed his eyes with his eyelids down.
Just leave it to this idiot.
But who would have thought that when their second round of shells was fired, a similar roar rang out in the area of their artillery formation.
Reinforcements from the other side also came.
Not much, it was the team led by Gu Yong himself.
When he learned that his brother was so unlucky and had a frontal encounter with the enemy, he couldn't sit still.
automatically asked for help, and became the field commander of the reinforcements.
This is the first soldier of their military department to ask for the next line of battlefield, and his comrades-in-arms at the same level on the side looked at his face full of sympathy.
Because the commander said that even if he rushed to help, he couldn't give him many soldiers, but those enthusiastic citizens and students who enthusiastically asked to participate in the garrison war, he could give Gu Yong a lot of people.
When Gu Yong took the two hundred elite soldiers he could take away out of the defense area, he found that behind his team, he automatically followed all kinds of characters.
There are the Heicheng gangs he had heard of but never dealt with, the base camp of the lower ninth-rate that he had passed through many times but never really entered, the young hot-blooded students like his little brother, and the weak scholars in long shirts and glasses.
Carrying swords, swords, and guns, these men pushed the batteries that the commander had given him for the troops, their eyes were burning and their spirits were shining, and they automatically followed behind the team without saying a word.
They can also go to the battlefield, and they can also contribute their own strength to Heicheng.
They are no longer the blind people who hide inside the city walls and know nothing about the external war, they can also contribute their own strength to their own home, to their own country, and to the people of Pingcheng.
Among them, there were several women in gray plaid robes, their faces were very immature, but the notes attached to their cuffs showed their determination...... and the desire to save lives.
Among them, there is also an acquaintance of Gu Zheng, that is, the revolutionary student he once rescued from the action team, Liang Lanping.
This was an action that she took the initiative to apply to the relevant organizations, and at the moment of the crisis in Pingcheng, the revolutionaries who were still stationed in the city took active action.
They called on aspiring young people and the masses in the city to enthusiastically donate money and materials to deliver supplies and supplies to the soldiers waiting on the front line, so that they could concentrate on the battle without the slightest worries.
Of course, there is a little bit of Liang Lanping's selfishness, when she learned from Gu Zheng's best friend Han Muren that the powerful third young master of the Gu family not only did not retreat south with his family, but entered the army with his second brother, Liang Lanping's heart couldn't calm down.
She felt that Gu Zheng was the best revolutionary comrade she had ever met in her life.
He is completely different from ordinary rich children, he is a patriotic person with temperament and feelings.
It is also a useful person who can be fought for.
Liang Lanping wants to get closer to this excellent classmate, use her own ideas to influence the other party, and finally let him have a correct choice.
Therefore, she took part in the action initiated by the comrades of the revolutionary party among the student groups to help the defenders.
and led his classmates to the first scene.
When Gu Yong first came out, Liang Lanping recognized the vehicle he was riding in at a glance, so she followed without hesitation, and finally faced the real battlefield.
'Boom Boom'
……
The smoke of gunpowder fills the air, and the pungent smell wafts into the face.
Angry roars, painful wails, and black smoke in the sky outline the most brutal hell on earth.
As an ordinary girl who grew up in a relatively comfortable environment, all this is not a small stimulation for Liang Lanping.
She, like the other girls, was stuck in the second half of the battlefield, which seemed to the soldiers to be the equivalent of the rear.
This is a safe area temporarily out of the reach of artillery fire, and improvised tents have been erected next to this small forest.
One by one, the sweaty and haggard health soldiers went back and forth between the front line and here.
This is a temporary rescue site set up by the citizens of Pingcheng City together with them.
In those few closed tents, some simple surgical operations were in full swing.
The slightly more serious wounded had been transported to the city center by horse-drawn carts and mules from nearby villagers, and most of the doctors who did the simple treatment here were doctors who rushed from the major hospitals and pharmacies in Pingcheng to provide free consultation.
Among this group of people, there is no shortage of famous doctors who are hard to find, but such a doctor who is easy to see, at this moment, has appeared in this most dangerous battlefield, dedicating his own strength to the soldiers who defend them.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"What are you doing? Transporting wounded soldiers or doing simple bandaging in the preface of the battlefield? Who is your leader?
"Don't get in the way here!"
Just when Liang Lanping and the others were shocked by the location in front of them, a group of soldiers who were hurriedly carrying the wounded rushed towards them, and after squeezing them aside, a fierce man plunged into the largest tent in the main square.
There were several simply bandaged wounded, either sitting or lying, looking depressed and painful.
This scene also frightened the little girl on the side, and she trembled and made a little suggestion to her companions.
"It seems that there is a great need for manpower here, and I, I'm here to help...... I, I'm not going to follow the team anymore. ”
One person starts and influences a group of people.
This small group, which is not many people, just because of this girl's words, most of the people can't move their legs.
At this time, Liang Lanping, who was originally stunned, moved, she didn't know where she got the courage, no matter what the people around her said, she held back her strength and kept following forward.
"Lan Ping, why don't you be in the rear too?"
The person who said this was Han Muren, who had already participated in the support soldier team at the front of the team.
This brave little fat man got a spear of his own from the hands of the organizers of the revolutionary party.
He was wearing the student uniform he used to wear when he went to school on weekdays, and looked at the female classmate behind him with a white face with some concern.
"I know why you want to go to the front, but Lan Ping, it's useless for you to do this. ”
The sensitive little fat man felt the female classmate's vague emotions towards Gu Zheng, but he felt that these two people were not compatible.
Gu Zheng's usual drizzle and spring breeze-like gentleness disappeared when this war officially broke out.
The current Gu Zheng is a powerful person who makes Han Muren feel very unfamiliar.
This strength does not refer to the physical form, but to the heart of a person.
When everyone was panicked, only Gu Zheng was the only one who smiled and watched the situation.
Han Muren admired Gu Zheng's unfazed behavior, so he hid from his family and participated in this aid.
He wanted to see what kind of situation Gu Zheng, who had already exchanged fire with the enemy, was.
He hoped that he could also become a brave person like Gu Zheng.
It's a pity that Liang Lanping didn't listen to him, although the increasingly complicated terrain made her stumble, but she still followed behind the marching team with that pale face, and continued to walk.
The blood stained the land red, the grass blackened, and the more you went, the more the tragedy multiplied.
When the stray bullets slashed over everyone's heads, and when the thick black smoke rose in front of their eyes, everyone knew that the real battlefield had arrived.
It was a mess, and I couldn't recognize who was an acquaintance and who was a stranger.
The dazed raw melons and eggs were rushed to their respective posts where they should be stationed, each performing its own duties to resist the enemy who was about to rush up.
"Bang!"
Some died.
"Bang!"
But they live forever in the hearts of some people.
……
Gu Zheng, who was no longer in the mood to change places, had already ignored the danger of exposure, and with his firearm, he shot towards groups of charging people.
The comrades-in-arms around him were dying fast, wave after wave of strangers...... It was made up again.
But even so, Gu Zheng felt that the enemy's resistance was not as effective as in the early stage.
When he looked at the people around him in surprise, he found that these unfamiliar faces, the jerky posture of holding a gun, all looked like they were not trained soldiers.
Moreover, he also saw an acquaintance of his in this group of people, the fat Han Muren, who was looking back at him with a smile on his face all over his face at this time.
"How did you get up!"
"I'm a volunteer!Gu Zheng, I'll help you!"
Has the battle been scorched to such a state?
Just when Gu Zheng was puzzled, another familiar voice sounded from behind him.
"The Far Eastern Army of Kou Kingdom entangled nearly 60,000 troops and marched towards Pingcheng. ”
"And our reinforcements have been delayed. ”
"Heijo is still in contact with the central government, but the troops rushing to help have not been sent until now. ”
"Once the 60,000-strong troops are pressed over, then Pingcheng is afraid that it will really be impossible to hold it. ”
"We, our army commanders, are already thinking about a strategic retreat. ”
"But according to the current battle situation, it can still last at least half a month. ”
"So, brother, if you retreat now, it's still too late. ”
This was Gu Yong and Gu Zheng's second encounter on the battlefield, and the two of them lay side by side in a ditch, communicating for the last time amid the sound of artillery fire.
"No, brother, if you retreat, I also hope to retreat with the large army, my marksmanship is accurate, and staying until the end will provide more people with the convenience of retreating. ”
"So, brother, let's do our best to carry this front. ”
Needless to say, the two brothers ended the conversation and threw themselves into their own battle.
And this battle, most of the days passed after a scorching scorch, and finally dragged on until nightfall, so that Kou Jun on the opposite side had to temporarily retreat, waiting for the arrival of the second dawn.
At this time, Gu Zheng no longer had much energy to take care of the people or things around him.
After hastily swallowing the food brought by a few students, he went to the makeshift tent at the back, leaning against the earthen wall on one side, and slept soundly.
'Trembling ......'
A slight sound sounded in Gu Zheng's ears, and a thin shirt was placed on his chest with a gun in his arms.
The person who tiptoed out was Liang Lanping, and when she turned around, she saw Han Muren who had been staring at her movements.
As soon as this unlucky little fat man entered the battlefield, he was shot in the arm, and the bruises were so heavy that he could no longer hold the weight of a spear even after a simple bandaging to stop the bleeding.
He has been helping the logistics staff to resist the delivery of supplies...... With his other movable left arm.
But after hearing the news of the changing of the guard at the front, he planned to come over to see his old friend.
And this scene was naturally seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.
This time, Han Muren did not stop Liang Lanping's wishful thinking, because of the uncertainty of the war, he knew that some love did not need to be hindered, and it was unbearable to be obstructed.
He just quietly looked at this female classmate who didn't say a word, passed by her, walked outside the camp where Gu Zheng was resting, sat by the door, and took the initiative to be a night watchman who didn't sleep.
Gu Zheng was so tired.
Han Muren should help his friends guard and not let anyone disturb him.
Liang Lanping's addition kept him from falling asleep.
'Crackle'
Sporadic artillery fire was still blowing up on the position, but it was much quieter than the fierceness of the day.
Just when these people reached the most exhausting point of the day, a group of Kou people who took advantage of the darkness to touch the camp slowly approached in front of this battered position.
'Trembling'
The slight sound did not alarm the personnel on duty at night, and when the first squad of the enemy touched it, it was only with the last cry of a guard soldier before his death that the entire position was awakened.
"Enemy attack!!!"
A bright bayonet pierced the chest of the early warning officer, but it woke the soldiers from their sleep, tired from the day.
"Gu Zheng!!Gu Zheng has an accident!"
Han Muren, who had been squatting outside the tent, reacted quickly, and as soon as he tore open the tent, he was about to reach out and push his best friend awake.
Who would have thought that when his fingers had not touched Gu Zheng's somewhat rancid military uniform, this classmate, who was always vigilant, opened his eyes with a whoosh.
In the next second, the angry King Kong held the gun in one hand and dragged a knife out of the side door of the tent with the other...... Rushing towards the outside of the tent.
"Kill!"
'Bang Bang Bang'
In the chaotic night, I don't know which inexperienced person fired the gun in his hand indiscriminately, but attracted more guns to the direction where he was.
In a series of shots, the person who shot first was shot on the spot.
This kind of attack that does not distinguish between friend and foe makes him the first target for both sides to get rid of.
This is the best way to reduce your own casualties.
Gu Zheng, who rushed towards the battlefield of the melee, sighed in his heart, this must be the action of the inexperienced Pingcheng citizens who came to help.
Didn't you see that the veteran soldiers who rushed out of the tents lit the torches that had been extinguished in order not to attract artillery fire while hurrying along?
This is to avoid accidental injuries to friendly troops, and at the same time, it can also illuminate the battlefield they have already faced, and also allow them to see the enemy's location clearly.
"Everyone, get on the bayonet! Broadsword team, cold weapon handover!"
"The logistics personnel evacuated to the southwest, responded to the wounded at the edge, and provided them with weapons at hand. ”
"Fight back! Fight back!"
This was Gu Yong's voice, the supreme commander who had been on standby on the battlefield, had already picked up his bright blade at this time and killed the general in the densest place of the crowd.
As the torches were lit, the darkness of the empty space became clearly visible.
The true faces of a group of fierce members of the Kou Guo death squad were revealed in front of the soldiers on the southern line of Pingcheng.
"Brother!
"Chubby, help me hold it!"
Seeing Gu Yong's undaunted impact of death, Gu Zheng was just angry.
Is this the time for you, a staff officer, to rush forward?
Gu Zheng, who exerted his strength, used the knife in his hand to use the former Shura three points, and with a burst of evil energy, he slashed towards the neck of the first enemy he encountered.
"Bang!"
The other party was not a showman, he was holding a katana horizontally in his hand, and the moment Gu Zheng slashed over, the weapons of the two collided together.
"Oh, yes?"
Gu Zheng looked at the obstacle between his neck and his big knife, and praised his dying enemy rarely.
And this warrior of the Kou Kingdom also understood Gu Zheng's praise, but it was a pity that he had just shown a smug expression, and half of his entire face was cut off.
"It's a pity, it's just good. ”
Gu Zheng, who suddenly exerted force under his hand, actually made a mistake with the back of the knife, twisted the samurai's own katana, and slashed at the face of the owner of the knife.
"Fuck off!"
……
The death of an enemy made all the enemies around Gu Zheng notice his existence.
