Chapter 0023: That's a Legend
On March 18, 1943, on the battlefield of Liu Laozhuang, the smoke of the war covered the entire sky, and the sound of artillery in the distance was still "rumbling......
Company commander Bai Sicai sat on a mound next to the trench, he took out a crumpled box of cigarettes from his shabby jacket pocket, he took out one from it and threw it to the instructor Li Yunpeng opposite, and lit one himself.
"Lao Li, have the brigade headquarters and local organs been transferred?" Company Commander Bai asked the instructor while looking in the northwest direction.
"They have all been transferred out, and we have just contacted the brigade headquarters, and they have already jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, and the brigade commander has repeatedly asked us to retreat as soon as possible."
The instructor had a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his face was full of cannon fodder and chapped lips at this time, so that he could no longer see the weakness that a scholar should have.
"Retreat, where to retreat, we have been dragged by the devils. Besides, we just left, how can we be worthy of these sacrificed brothers? ”
The white company commander threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up, pointing to the dead corpses outside the trenches in the trenches and said, he was very excited when he spoke, and there were tears flashing in his blood-red eyes.
"Yes! We have no way back, and I have telegraphed the current situation of the brigade headquarters and expressed our determination to live and die with the position. ”
The instructor looked at the corpses of the soldiers like a knife, and his eyes under the black-rimmed glasses instantly became resolute. The outside of the trenches was littered with corpses blown away by enemy shells. Some of their arms were blown off, some of their legs were blown off, and some of their heads were blown off, leaving only their bodies alone.
Inside the trenches, some were shot through the head, some were shot through the chest, and dense bullet holes remained on their bodies.
The corpses of the fighters simply did not have time to be disposed of.
There was nowhere to move the wounded, and they didn't even think about it. A young soldier who was blinded in his left eye, and the veteran was bandaging him, and from time to time he aimed his gun into the distance.
"Lao Bai, we are running out of ammunition, we have to quickly study how to fight the next battle." The instructor reminded Company Commander Bai with concern. From morning to about two o'clock in the afternoon, they had repelled three enemy attacks.
The enemy was the famous 54th Wing, plus the puppet army of more than 3,000 people, with mortar brigades, cavalry brigades, and infantry brigades. And they had only one company, eighty-two men, and they were obviously outnumbered.
And the weapons in their hands are also quite backward, generally "made in Hanyang", and a little better is "Zhongzheng". If it weren't for the brigade headquarters mobilizing ten machine guns and eight boxes of grenades for them when they were transferred, the battle would not have been fought at all.
In this way, they relied on these weapons to keep the enemy out of their positions. However, they also paid huge losses, and now there were no more than forty people in the whole company plus the seriously wounded, and the ammunition was almost exhausted.
"Gather all the cadres of the whole company and have a meeting, by the way, call Sixi over too."
The white company commander looked at the soldier who was aiming with a gun on the side and said. Although Sixi is not a cadre of the Fourth Company, he has extraordinary skills, that is, where to shoot marksmanship.
Just now, the company commander saw an enemy officer through the telescope, who seemed to be a captain, directing a group of devils to rush forward.
He immediately ordered Sixi to shoot, and Sixi took aim calmly, decisively pulled the trigger, and took the captain down with a single shot.
The company commander saw the captain who had been shot through the head through the telescope, and was very excited, and even praised his penchant for marksmanship. And Sixi's gun is nothing more than an ordinary "medium formality".
After a while, all the cadres of the fourth company gathered around the company commander, and now the cadres are also seriously lacking, basically the squad leader makes up the platoon leader, the deputy squad leader, and the soldier makes up the squad leader.
"Now I order a platoon to concentrate all the grenades and prepare them against the enemy cavalry, and no one is allowed to shoot without my orders, and if the enemy is put close to fight, all of them will be aimed at me, and no bullets will be wasted. Sixi is a commander and machine gunner who is responsible for fighting devils, and the squad leader finds someone to be responsible for loading Sixi, and to ensure that the bullets are enough, do you understand? ”
"Understood." Everyone shouted in unison. After the order was given, everyone went to prepare.
"Lao Bai, if I sacrifice first, I will wait for you over there!" In fact, everyone understands that this is a battle to the death.
"Lao Li, partnering with you is just the right temper, okay, if I leave first, I will also wait for you over there." After speaking, the two young landlords hugged each other tightly.
Suddenly, a violent explosion came from ten meters behind them, and the violent blast of air tossed the dirt up.
"Hidden!" This is the enemy's school artillery, which will be followed by heavy shelling. Everyone ran into the trenches, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ...... "The enemy's shells poured down on this side as if they didn't want money.
Some of the fighters were directly blown up, and the blown dirt covered everyone. The shelling lasted for more than 20 minutes before it gradually subsided.
The position was in shambles. The company commander got up from the dirt, shook the dirt off his body, shook his head, and his ears still felt a roar.
At this time, the other brothers of the fourth company also came out of the dirt, and there was no time to prepare, and the devils were about to rush up, this was their old routine.
Sure enough, rows of cavalry had already rushed over, and the soldiers threw the grenades with all their might, and the violent explosion shook the earth again, and the people turned on their backs, and the enemy cavalry suffered heavy losses, so they could only abandon the corpses and retreat.
According to the old routine of the devils, the infantry should have appeared. Rows of devils with guns began to charge, densely packed with devils. 200 m ...... 100 m ...... 50 meters.
"Hit!" With the company commander's order, the fierce gunfire here was remembered at the same time. Ten machine guns fired at the same time, and the "da-da-da" bullets flew towards the enemy with the fury of the fighters.
Sixi lay there and pulled the trigger, one shot at a time, specializing in officers and machine gunners, and after he finished firing, the soldier next to him handed him the loaded gun.
Devils are constantly getting shots, and from time to time there are devil machine gunners and officers who are shot through the head.
And from time to time, people get shot.
"Instructor!" Suddenly, there was a shout of a warrior from there.
Company Commander Bai felt a "chuckle" in his heart, and he hurriedly ran over. The instructor was shot in the chest, and blood gushed out of the bullet hole, and he was dying.
Seeing the company commander coming, he grabbed his hand, "Old man, it seems that I'll go first, I'll wait for you over there." After saying that, he closed his eyes forever.
"Ahh ......" the white company commander picked up a machine gun and frantically swept towards the enemy......
The enemy was already about to rush to the position, when four or five fighters picked up grenades and shouted as they rushed towards the enemy: "Brothers, I'll go first." ”
Almost every fighter was blown up at the same time as four or five devils. People keep jumping out and repeating the same action. The enemy was frightened, discarded countless corpses and began to retreat, and just like that, another charge was repulsed, and the price paid was very heavy.
Looking at the position of more than a dozen people, the military flag has been blown up by artillery fire, but it is still fluttering......
They are already out of ammunition. The company commander beckoned more than a dozen people together, "Are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid!" The warriors replied in unison without hesitation.
"Although we have no ammunition now, we still have bayonets, butts, and teeth, and we swear to live and die with our positions!"
"Hold your ground!" They shouted in unison.
The devils came up again, and they all drew their bayonets and put them in front of their guns. Although they were tired, they clenched their steel guns, flashed their white bayonets, and jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the enemy.
This time, the enemy also stopped firing after rushing to the position, and drew their bayonets one after another to prepare for a white-knuckle battle. It was a white-knuckle battle that went down in history, and the battle was extremely fierce.
One of the warriors rushed forward and stabbed the bayonet with great speed, but because their spears were shorter than the enemy's, the enemy plunged the bayonet into his abdomen first, and he endured the pain and moved his body forward, the tip of the enemy's bayonet coming out of his lower back. With such a hard slam that he grabbed the enemy with his hand, his teeth biting into the enemy's neck......
When another soldier rushed up, he tripped over his own intestines, and the enemy's bayonet stabbed from top to bottom, and he directly held the bayonet in his hand, and stabbed his gun out with great force, the bayonet pierced through the enemy's eyes, and the enemy kept rolling on the ground. However, the warrior was soon inserted with two bayonets by the devils who came up from behind.
Sixi's gun didn't know where it was, he grabbed a stone on the ground and rushed forward, the enemy's bayonet stabbed over, he dodged, got close to the enemy, he raised the stone and smashed it at the devil's head, and the devil's ** was smashed out by him. The two devils in the back sent the bayonet into his body, and at that moment, he pulled the only grenade on his body.
The white company commander held a big knife and slashed at the heads of the devils, and the devils' heads were chopped to the ground along with the steel helmet, brown blood gushed out from the neck, and the headless body was kicked out by the white company commander.
A devil officer in the back raised an oriental knife from behind and slashed at the white company commander, the white company commander dodged a step slower, one of his left arms was cut off, and the white bones of the forest were exposed at the arm, and the big knife in his right hand slashed at the belly of the devil officer. The devil officer slowly collapsed holding his stomach that was constantly gushing blood.
It was also a battle without suspense, and the fighters shouted: "Brothers, I'm going first!" "Basically every warrior was pierced by more than three bayonets......
On the battlefield, only the company commander was left, his left arm had been cut off, his body was a little shaky, he finally sorted out his military hat, glanced at the military flag, and shouted: "Brothers, I'm coming!" "The voice was hoarse. He felt the only grenade on his body, which was the "glory bullet" he had prepared, he looked at the enemy and laughed, and finally pulled the fuse, and the enemy fled in all directions with a strange scream......
So far, all 82 people in the company have died heroically......
A thick puff of smoke rose from the ground and slowly spread upwards into the sky, and when you look closely, the smoke forms a vague human figure, which is the "White Company Commander", who is wearing armor and holding a steel spear, like a god of war in the nine heavens. The "White Company Commander" gradually drifted towards the military flag, and has been guarding the military flag for a long time......
The battlefield was littered with corpses and devastation. The originally dim sky suddenly thundered and thundered, and the wind and rain were combined. It was heaven and earth that were moved, and ghosts and gods were weeping for it. A strong wind hit the ground, swept the earth, swept these undead, like a giant dragon flying towards the sky, hovering over the Nine Heavens God of War and the military banner.
The "White Company Commander" stood still in the wind and rain, he was guarding the military flag, the motherland and the people......
