Chapter 8: Kill the Devil
1
Lu Jian remembered a company commander's broadsword, and he talked to Xiao Lin about it. Xiao Lin said that since this is the case, why don't you go to the county seat to have a play, how majestic it is to have a knife in your body. Lu Zhu made Xiao Lin itch.
The next day, they came to the county seat and asked a few iron shops, but they were reluctant to fight big knives. They are unwilling to talk or talk about it, unless they play a shovel or a hoe or something. In desperation, they gave up.
At noon, they saw a plane with a dogskin plaster flying at a low altitude, and several machine guns on the castle tower swept towards the plane, to no avail, the plane climbed high to avoid the firing range, rotated in the air, and continued to fly around the city twice before disappearing into the clouds.
The whole street was in chaos. There were a lot of people blocking the city gate, the soldiers did not let them out, and in the midst of a stalemate, a war horse galloped up, and an officer turned over and dismounted and jumped on the bunker of the city gate, and said loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, please don't panic, the plane just now is just a reconnaissance plane, and there is no big problem." With our national army here, the Japanese will not hurt you, whether it is in the city or stay in the city, not in the city, please get out quickly. There was an order from the superiors, and the city gate was immediately under martial law. ”
Some people scolded them, most of them scolded these soldiers, scolding them for being useless, and they couldn't even get off the plane. They usually know how to eat, drink and have fun, and when they see devils, they run, faster than rabbits, and run here from Huarong, bringing disasters to the common people, scolding the soldiers with grievances on their faces, and scolding the commander who came on horseback to jump on the horse again, and then gallop away along the road after throwing down a sentence "You are not allowed to talk back to the people". The soldiers who stayed behind let the people scold them, and they just didn't pay attention to them. In this way, some of the people with the packages on their backs cursed and cursed and went back, and some people who were not from the city went out of the city under the questioning of the soldiers.
"Xiaolin, let's go to Camp Commander Geng, do you want to get it?" Out of the city, Lu Gong suddenly remembered Battalion Commander Geng.
Of course Kobayashi wants it. Without saying a word, he came to the defense area of Battalion Commander Geng. It looked busy, with teams shuttling in groups and cars carrying ammunition coming in and out. When he came to the gate of the sentry and was about to walk inside, he was found out by the little dog who was standing guard and blocked outside, as if he did not know them, he raised his tone, saying that the commander has an order that no non-military personnel should enter the forward position.
It's hard to talk about it, and it doesn't work at all, so they can laugh and laugh and talk about it, plus the routine of both soft and hard, the little dog just ignores them, and they have to leave in frustration.
"Brother Pole, go back and give a message to my father and mother, just say that everything is fine here for my little dog, don't let them read it." The puppy shouted behind them. If I don't have enough righteousness, I don't care. Lu Gong pretended not to hear and walked straight ahead, Xiao Lin also echoed Lu Gong, and shouted to the little dog who was still looking at them: "If you are not righteous enough, I don't care." ”
When the little dog heard it, he felt as if he had been greatly wronged, and muttered in his mouth: "It's not that I won't let you in, it's a military order, you know, if it's really a devil who comes here at this time, I can't protect you." ”
2 The commander of the first company came, scolding, and came with a dejected and frightened Jia Mai. Battalion commander, what do you say to do with him, he wants to be a deserter, what a corner, soft egg, bear bag. After saying that, he kicked Jia Mai and knocked him to the ground, so painful that he opened his mouth and screamed.
Battalion Commander Geng hurriedly asked what was the matter? The first company commander said, let him say it himself.
Jia Mai did not dare to speak, and lay on his side in the fortification, only crying. Battalion Commander Geng stepped forward to help him up and said, homesick? Miss your parents? The first company commander interjected and said, think about it, who doesn't want to, just think about it, don't say it, battalion commander, military law, kill him, if you want to be like him, how can this battle be fought. After speaking, he pulled out the shell gun, opened the nose and pointed at Jia Mai's head.
Battalion Commander Geng scolded and said, "Wheat, let me ask you, why do you want to run?" ”
He replied that the squad leader had beaten him. Why? Geng Zitang looked into his eyes.
He, he ...... Last night he asked me to wash his feet, and when I didn't agree, he beat me. I'm going back, I'm not here anymore, I'm going to see my mom and dad. Daddy and mom didn't hit me like this, woo...... After speaking, he unbuttoned his belt and hugged his clothes, and he was really blue and purple.
Before Battalion Commander Geng got angry, the first company commander began to make a fuss, and shouted at the throat, you damn it, squad leader, come over to Lao Tzu. A squad leader ran over, and as soon as he saw Jia Mai, he knew that the matter was going to be a goof, so he had to make amends in a low voice: "I'm not good, I'm joking." ”
Battalion Commander Geng listened to his words and scolded loudly: "What fucking stinky rules, who set them?" You're not a little timid, you're even more special than me, ah, are you impatient with this kid? You want to be beaten too, don't you? In normal times, I often tell you to love nurses and soldiers, and they were also born to their parents. As long as you have the ability, you are not as good as you want, you can fight at every turn, what a big official, ah. You, go, go to the river and fetch a basin of water for Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu asked this kid to wash the feet of wheat to see how virtuous he is. ”
The first squad leader did not dare to be slow, took the basin, and walked to the side. "Run, walk." A company commander called from behind.
Forget it, battalion commander, company commander, I'm not running, I don't know the rules here. Jia Xiaomei said.
Battalion Commander Geng said, don't be afraid, but crying nose is not a man. Come on, wipe it, don't let others see the joke, especially when the Japanese devils come, you can't do this, okay.
Jia Mai burst into tears and laughed. A resounding answer, OK.
A squad leader came, trotting in, out of breath. Come, come, little brother, it's me who is not good, I will wash your feet. Jia Mai said no, no, no, it's okay. No, he has to be washed. Geng Zitang said sharply. The commander of the first company also echoed, yes, let him have a long memory.
Jia Mai was leaving, but Camp Commander Geng stopped him and said to him, don't go, just follow me by my side. Did you hear that? Jia Mai was stunned for a moment, and said that he still didn't thank Camp Commander Geng.
In front of the 3rd battle map, Sun Zhonglian of the Sixth War Zone had a frozen expression and was thinking about it. The sixth war zone he accepted seemed to have no movement, but he understood that Yokoyama Yong was not easy to deal with, this was his opinion of Yokoyama Yong after Wang Jinzai was cleaned up, and he felt that he was not an ordinary person, not simple. Looking at each other across the river, they have long been eyeing each other, like a lion who will open its bloody mouth at any time and will never give up this piece of fat in Jiangnan. Had it not been for the outbreak of the Pacific War, and if it had not been for the reversal of the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield, their offensive would have begun long ago. Sun Zhonglian knew that Yokoyama had only one intention, which was to break through his sixth war zone and go to Chongqing.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold, how can this be reasonable, the little Japan of the dog day, bastard, thinks beautifully. After scolding, he told the staff officers around him that all defense areas should be prepared for battle, not to underestimate the enemy, not to slacken, and to report the situation at any time. He was worried about the 73rd Division, their defense line was easy to attack and difficult to defend, but there was no way to do it, they had to hold on, once the devil launched an attack, it was best to hold on for 48 hours, which could reduce the pressure on the other defenders. Looking at the battle map, he let out a long sigh, and then, sitting in his seat, closed his eyes and recuperated.
The chief of staff handed a telegram to Sun Zhonglian. He said that according to reliable information, the devils of Isamu Yokoyama's 11th Army are already assembling and ready to attack our theater of operations, and the specific time is not clear. Chairman Chiang gave special instructions to us to make full preparations for battle, not to make any mistakes, and to wait for an opportunity to retreat as a last resort. Sun Zhonglian listened to the words of the chief of staff and read the telegram again, jumped up from the chair, hahaha burst into laughter, and said, the little devil is finally here. Order, all units are ready to fight at any time to annihilate the invading Japanese invaders. Indeed, since Sun Zhonglian's bloody battle in Taierzhuang, he has not been so happy.
4 Geng Zitang received a call from the regiment headquarters, and the regiment commander told him that from now on, he must go all out to prepare for battle, and the devil is coming soon.
Battalion Commander Geng shouted into the phone: "I'm afraid of a bird, a cock, come on, Lao Tzu and the brothers are waiting." Regiment commander, can you transfer two mortars for me, we are on the mountain, with a wide field of vision...... "No." Before he could finish speaking, the regiment commander spoke: "I have given you two more Czech machine guns, and I still want it, I am really greedy, listen to me, there is no order to retreat, you must defend it to the death, you are in the first line of defense, if it doesn't work, you can retreat to the second line of defense, and fight side by side with the brothers, do you understand." ”
"Understood." Geng Zitang put down the phone, tidied up his army, looked at the river in front of him, and called a company commander, asking him to take a few brothers to the bank of the river and arrange mines, and some mines could be buried at the front of the position. The commander of a company called the soldiers to take Ray with them.
Geng Zitang looked at the sky, came to the cooking class, and told the old cooker to let him prepare more delicious food in the past few days, so as to recharge his energy and fight devils. After speaking, he asked the old cooker for a cigarette, and the old cooker was strange, but he didn't ask, just said to himself: smoke, I don't know if I have to smoke it then. Hey, old cook, say something auspicious, okay? The old cooker smiled and said, I said battalion commander, I'm curious why did you smoke this today? Battalion Commander Geng smiled when he heard this, borrowed a fire, and after taking two puffs of cigarettes fiercely, he was so choked that he was about to throw away the remaining cigarettes, but the old cooker stopped him and said, don't, don't lose it, what a pity to waste it. took the leftover cigarette from Battalion Commander Geng's hand and held it in his mouth. What does this smell like, you old cooker is still smoking so fiercely.
5 Nishijima was very excited, and was about to leave for the front, and the first battle with the Chinese army was when he searched for the remains of Ieda Tsuka in the Dabie Mountains, and in his opinion, that battle was nothing. What is really meaningful is a face-to-face life-and-death contest with the national army, so as to show his heroic nature. Fighting with a large army of the national army is his dream since he entered the Chinese battlefield, but this dream was awakened by Yokoyama Isa, he transferred Nishijima to his side, became the captain of the gendarmerie, responsible for the security of the city, this is his helpless thing, he respects Yokoyama Isamu and treats him as his own father. But from time to time, he mentioned in front of the general that he did not want to be in the gendarmerie but wanted to go to the front, and he was angry. Now that Isamu Yokoyama finally agreed to him, he was extremely excited, like a hunter who saw a prey, his eyes lit up, and everything was so pleasing to the eye.
He was watching Sakurako dance when he suddenly remembered something, he called a stop, he put on his military uniform, put on his saber, and said, go out to do something.
He came to the torture chamber of the gendarmerie and looked at everything familiar, everything was very kind. Here, I don't know how many times the Communist Party, the New Fourth Army, and the anti-Japanese elements of the Nationalist Army's hoe and traitor squad were interrogated. Their lives were wiped out in the riverside woods, driven by his vengeful mentality. He made them martyrs, he made himself a demon.
He came to the cell where the fat man was being held. Today I want to sacrifice the ancestral chrysanthemum knife he wears with blood, and he is going to go on an expedition. He told the gendarmes to lift the fat man out of his cell, blindfolded him, and asked one of the gendarmes to get on a motorcycle, and drove himself into a wooded area by the river. He asked the gendarmes to tear the cloth off the fat man's eyes.
The fat man shielded the glare of the sun with his hand, and then looked at the West Island in front of him fixedly. Recognizing the father-killing demon king Nishijima in front of him, he screamed and threw himself at him, and the gendarmes immediately went up, and Nishijima stopped him and said, "Give him the gun and bayonet." ”
The gendarme put the bayonet in his hand and handed it to the fat man, who didn't know what to do, didn't understand, he held the gun and rushed towards the enemy who killed his father in front of him. At this time, Nishijima's knife was already out of its sheath, and just when the fat man rushed towards him, Nishijima turned around and swept the knife with both hands to the side, only to see a stream of blood splashing on the trunks of the surrounding trees. The fat man didn't squeak, the intestines in his stomach burst out, and the person fell to the ground whole, convulsing spasmodically.
Nishijima wiped the blood from the fat man's clothes. Maybe the gendarme had never seen a killing, maybe it was a new soldier who looked at the intestines dripping on the grass and felt sick and wanted to vomit. He bent down to Nishijima and said, "Shaozuo, I'll start the car." Nishijima pointed the tip of his knife at the gendarme, and then at the spear beside the fat man, and said, "You give him another knife."
The gendarmes didn't dare, and Nishijima's face sank: "Yaga, you're about to go to the battlefield with me, and you don't even dare to use a knife for a dead person, do you want to lose the face of our Great Japanese Empire?" Well? Frightened, the soldier picked up the gun, trembled, squinted his eyes, and stabbed the fat man. The fat man died.
Nishijima "Yasi" sounded, and walked towards the embankment with a victory, satisfaction, and a smile. The gendarmes who followed him as he ran and vomited quickly overtook Nishijima and ran towards the motorcycle, and when he got into the car and started, he saw that Nishijima's satisfaction after killing people was fixed on his hideous face, which looked extremely ugly in the pure sunlight.
6. In accordance with the battle plan, the combat units participating in the "Jiangnan Annihilation Campaign" were ready to go to the assembly area one after another. Some troops farther away from the assembly area also marched in advance.
Nishijima saw that it was still early to leave and returned from the station, and when he entered the door and saw Sakurako busy in the house, he felt pity spontaneously, and he hugged Sakurako from behind and told her that he was going to the front line. Sakurako couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this. Nishijima turned her around and looked at Sakurako. Sakurako hugged Nishijima tightly and sobbed in his arms. This made Nishijima pity Sakurako even more, and he licked the tears on her face, which filled Sakurako's whole body with happiness. She replied with Nishijima's lips......
7"Boy, come here. "A soldier was calling Lu Gong and Xiao Lin.
Lu Pole was refused to enter the defense area by the puppy, and after returning home, he brought the message to the puppy's parents. After staying at home for a day and helping his parents dig a kiln, he came to the county seat the next day. Nothing else but the big knife. They don't give up. But the blacksmith shop just didn't give a beating, and shirked it on the excuse that he couldn't hit the big knife. The sun was about to set, and as they walked out of the last blacksmith shop helplessly, they heard someone shouting, and turned to look, there was a soldier with a gun calling at them, they didn't think they were calling themselves, and looked around, but no one answered the soldier. Then he saw the soldier waving to them and shouting, "Come here, yes, it's you two who are calling, hurry up."
"Brother Jun, what's the matter? We're going home for dinner. Lu Gong said in a not very good mood.
"Follow me. When you finish your work, you will have something to eat. "The soldiers took them to an arsenal. When they were asked to carry the munitions, they were not very happy at first, but when they were asked that the munitions were to be transported to the position of the battalion commander Geng, they became happy and even said that they wanted to get them. After loading boxes of munitions onto military vehicles, the soldiers told them to go back, but they didn't do it.
In the midst of the argument, an officer came, the same man who had called out at the gate last time. He asked what was going on? The soldiers said that they were going to Battalion Commander Geng's position, but I was not allowed, so they quarreled.
The officer asked, "Have you ever been a soldier?" I haven't been, I haven't been, what are you going to do? Send to death, ah. ”
"No, we're not going to send these ammunition to death," he said.
"Also, we're going to see Camp Commander Geng. Battalion Commander Geng, we know that they have also lived in our village. Xiao Lin also hurriedly said.
"That's it, yes, he taught us how to shoot." Lu Pole began to weave.
The officer looked at them and said, "Look at you two boys, it's not a bad thing. Do you really know Camp Commander Geng? Listen to Lu Gong and Xiao Lin say: "Lie to you is a puppy." He turned to the soldiers: "Let them go, anyway, there are also people who need to carry munitions, take advantage of the fact that the devils are not coming, have more manpower, and buy time to transport more ammunition." You two boys sent me a message to Camp Commander Geng, telling him to take care, and I will invite him to drink if he wins the battle. ”
The second boy jumped up with joy and shouted with a smile, Okay, okay, I must pass on the word, but we don't know your name yet?
He smiled and said, "Han Xiaocheng." ”
In the car, Lu Gong said, "I still have to borrow the knife of the company commander to play with it." Xiao Lin said, "I'm going to beat up the puppy."
It's a coincidence that I met a puppy standing guard again.
"This kid only has the life of standing guard, when did you see him like this, Xiaolin, don't you say?" Lu Gong said jokingly to Kobayashi. Xiao Lin agreed, saying that this time it was different, it was the officer who called them, and he couldn't care about it. However, he was stopped by the puppy again.
"The puppies are quite responsible, all of them have to come down. Hey, little dog, let's not come down, we're not soldiers, Xiaolin and I are here to do hard labor, there's nothing to check, isn't it, Xiaolin? Lu Gong quipped as he looked at the puppy in the carriage.
"It's the two of you again, Brother Pole, my father and mother are okay." The puppy didn't call them down, just asked. Lu Gong said again and again that it was okay, and I had reported your safety when I went home last time. The little dog listened, and after saying thank you, he suddenly pointed his gun at them and shouted, "You all come down for me."
Lu Gong and Xiao Lin, who were just happy, were frightened by him. Xiao Lin said: "Little dog, you are really here, we are here to sell labor." ”
"Phew, you want to go to see Battalion Commander Geng, Battalion Commander Geng is very busy, I don't want you to disturb him, this is the discipline of our troops. Last time, I rejected what you came to, and he praised me, which our platoon commander told me. Seeing that they were not yet talking, he smiled and said, "Come down, come down, I'll tease you." The puppy was a little smug and put the gun away. Then he looked around, took out two bottles of Nanzhou Daqu from his pocket, and said, "Do me a favor and give this to Camp Commander Geng."
Lu Gong and Xiao Lin tilted their heads and ignored him. Seeing them like this, the little dog took their hands and saluted, and Lu Gong took the wine and let Xiao Lin take it.
8 Battalion Commander Geng's headquarters was very busy, this was a temporary stone and wooden frame shed, where people came in and out, phone calls were answered one after another, and it seemed that the war was about to begin. Battalion Commander Geng: "Yes, yes, we will hold on for 48 hours." Don't worry, Captain. He put down the phone and shouted, "Signal Corps." Inform the company commanders and company deputies to come over for a meeting, and have dinner together after the meeting. The signal corps took the order and left.
"What a fucking little devil is finally here, I'm here waiting for your grandmother's eight-life ancestors to come and send him to death." After saying that, he punched the table hard, shaking the things on the table and jumping up.
"Battalion Commander Geng. Look who's coming. As soon as Battalion Commander Geng heard it, he knew that it was the rough voice of the commander of the company. The commander of the first company was followed by Lu Gong and Xiao Lin.
"How are you?" Battalion Commander Geng wondered. He really didn't expect it. Sharply asked the first company commander: "What's going on?" How did they come in, call me the sentry, and Lao Tzu killed him. ”
"Battalion Commander Geng, they came to see you, and he also helped me carry the arms." The company commander hurriedly explained.
"Battalion Commander Geng, we are coming. We're not children anymore, come out to see, see the world, have a long insight, haven't seen you for a long time, I want to see you and the company commander. ”
"When is it, this time is coming, isn't this a mess?" Battalion Commander Geng said angrily.
Lu Zhan hurriedly said: "No, what we have is strength, we can help you transport weapons and ammunition or something, we are not afraid."
"Not afraid? You are not afraid, I am afraid. Your father will not let you be a soldier in life or death, and if he knew that you were with me, what would you say I would answer him? Okay, forget it, since you're here, the commander of the first company, send someone to send them out after dinner. Battalion Commander Geng's voice softened.
Xiao Lin took out the wine from the bag and said, "This is the little dog who honors you, and he wants me to pass it on to you." Camp Chief Geng said that it is not the little dog in your village. Lu Gong said yes. Battalion Commander Geng said again, when did he learn this hand? Lu said he was out of respect.
The first company commander interjected, and he said: "Battalion Commander Geng, I know the little dog, he belongs to our company." Didn't I tell you last time, these two boys were about to come in, and they were blocked back by the puppy, and the puppy was praised by you, remember. ”
Battalion Commander Geng said to Lu Zhuan: "Do you know? This is my soldier, when you are a soldier, you have to be disciplined and do things according to the rules, but it is not good to send wine, and it is not good to send wine at critical moments, but I received his intentions, and I know that I drank Nanzhou Daqu and fought devils. Lu Gong and Xiao Lin touched their heads and smiled.
At this time, the company commanders came. Battalion Commander Geng said to Lu Pole and them: "There is nothing for you here, you go out to play for a while, and then I will ask you to eat." Lu Gong walked to the side of the first company commander, hehe, hehe, pointed to the big knife on his back, the first company commander understood what he meant, and happily pulled out the knife from his back and said, "Go, while playing." Lu Gong Lian said thank you, and the company commander was unhappy, so Lu Jian gave him a non-standard military salute, and the company leader laughed and slapped Lu Gong's buttocks: "Little free cub, get out." Lu Gong happily carried the knife and left with Xiao Lin.
Battalion Commander Geng summoned them to the table and said, "The regimental headquarters has ordered us to prepare for battle, according to intelligence, the enemy will launch an attack at dusk today, and the higher authorities have asked us to hold out for 48 hours. The first company commander, you are the first line of defense, you must stick here for me, the second company, the third company, the second line of defense line spread out in a fan shape, ambushed on the hill on the second side of the first company commander, where to provide emergency support. In short, we must stick to the hour, we must stick to the hour, and let the devil taste our awesomeness. ”
9 Lu pole played with a broadsword very vigorously, and many soldiers next to him were cheering. Xiao Lin begged a soldier next to him to teach him to shoot, and when he was aiming, the signal soldier came and told them to go to the battalion headquarters for dinner.
After eating, the company commanders returned to their positions one after another, and the battalion commander Geng sent Lu Gong and Xiaolin out of the trenches. "Teacher Yang is gone, do you want to?" Battalion Commander Geng asked.
"Absolutely. Teacher Yang didn't tell us where we went when he left?" Lu Gong said. Battalion Commander Geng let out an "oh" and said, "Lu Gong, Teacher Yang admires you very much, if it weren't for your father's opposition to your joining the army to resist Japan, I'm afraid you would have been taken there by Teacher Yang a long time ago."
"What do you mean over there?" Lu Gong asked.
"The place where the devils are beaten is far from here. It was a unit of the New Fourth Army. ”
"The New Fourth Army?" Lu Jian remembered these three words and felt a little mysterious.
Battalion Commander Geng said that he would not send it, asked the little dogs to escort them, told them to go home quickly, so as not to worry their parents, and then turned back to the command post, and informed all the companies by phone to stay in the trenches tonight and closely watch the movements on the other side of the river.
10 The sky was darkening with shame. The first company commander walked to the sentry with three soldiers, originally today's sentry was for the little dog and Jia Mai, because the little dog wanted to send Lu Gong and Xiao Lin back, Jia Mai was not in good health, and the battalion commander Geng did not let him go, so the company commander sent three other soldiers to guard the sentry tonight.
On the way to the sentry, one of the soldiers said: "The commander of the first company told us that the officers love to ride horses, and if there is only one, let us fight at the same time, and if there are two, I will fight the left one, and you will fight the right one."
Another soldier replied, "Okay." The first company commander also told me that if we found the enemy, we should shoot first, and shoot directly at the enemy instead of shooting into the sky. ”
The soldier who was about to climb the tree next to him suddenly remembered something and said, "If I shoot in the tree, won't the devil find me?" No, I can't shoot. Is this good, wait for me, I'll go and carry the grenades, you two help me get the tree, I'll just throw the bullets, you shoot, shoot a shot and change places, don't stay there and wait to be beaten. The two soldiers felt that it made sense, and hurriedly ran back to the position to carry a box of grenades to the tree, and after the soldiers tied up the box, the soldier who went up the tree quickly climbed up with one end of the rope, and after finding a good place, he pulled the box up with all his might, put it away, threw the rope down, and told them that it was done.
The two soldiers each went to find the earthen hole, but one soldier was frightened in the hole and ran to the other soldier's spacious hole. Tell him to be afraid, do you want to be together? He said he wished it had.
Before I knew it, a minute and a second passed, and when a soldier woke up from his sleep, a white light had appeared in the sky, and it was almost dawn. Suddenly, he saw a figure shaking on the opposite bank, he woke up the person next to him, and the two of them suddenly became nervous, did not dare to move, quietly pulled the bolt of the gun, and according to the previous agreement, they each aimed at the two figures riding on the horse.
Two gunshots rang out, and I saw a figure planted from the horse, and the figure on the horse next to him jumped off the horse with agility, and waved his hand to signal the troops behind him to hide. This force is the army led by Nishijima.
Translator Wang, who was beside Xidao, hurriedly came down. A few devils hurriedly dragged the fallen wounded down the embankment. Nishijima quickly bowed down the embankment and came to the wounded devil. The war horse beside him was adding the face of the devil, arching his body, exhaling in his nostrils, and seeing that his master had not moved for a long time, it became restless, and did not neigh, but scraped the ground restlessly with its feet. Nishijima anxiously picked up the wounded man, held him in his arms, and called out to Matsui.
Matsui woke up, opened his eyes slightly, tears welled up in his eyes, and said weakly and intermittently: "Nishijima-kun, I can't serve the Great Empire Japan anymore, and I regret not fighting with you." After saying goodbye, die. Nishijima slowly lowered him, then half-knelt down and took off his military hat to his body and bowed his head, and the entire army was silent. He swore: Matsui-kun, don't worry, I will avenge you. After saying that, the soldiers were ordered to hide Matsui's body on the spot, and at the same time issued an order to the artillery unit: the artillery was ready to shoot.
The two soldiers in the cave said, "How did you shoot the gun, didn't we say okay, you hit the one on the left and I will shoot the one on the right?"
"I'm sorry, I'm too nervous. You see, they're all gone. Another said in a trembling voice.
The sound of gunfire alarmed all the soldiers in the trenches from gossiping or falling asleep or writing letters to their families, and when their expressions were tense and they didn't know what to do, they only heard the shout of the commander of the company: "If there is a situation, be ready for battle."
Battalion Commander Geng heard the gunshots and looked ahead with a telescope at the command post, but it was dark and he couldn't see the front clearly, and he didn't find anything unusual. With his heart in mind, he took the signal corps to the position of the commander of the first company. The commander of the first company was fully prepared for battle.
After the combat mission was arranged, the commander of the first company said to the soldier who had come back to report the news: "You go back and continue to monitor the enemy's movements." If you find out about the situation, just shoot, don't be afraid to fight me to the death. The warrior then returned to his hiding place.
Nishijima had a fierce gaze, and after leaving the pine entrance, he lay on the edge of the embankment and looked at the other side of the river with a telescope. At this time, the sky was dark, except for the cries of insects, there was silence everywhere, he did not know where the enemy's gunfire came from, so that he lost a capable comrade-in-arms, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Zhina pig, I must kill you all."
Nishijima asked the king translator, "What kind of place is this?" Translator Wang shook his head and said he didn't know. Of course he didn't know, he said he didn't know, not a local.
Nishijima called the signal corps to come, and looked at the map carefully. He knew that a battle was about to begin, and he was unusually excited, and after reading the map by the light of the flashlight, he slowly drew his war knife and wiped the shiny blade with his fingers. In the night, the blade shimmered with a cold light.
11. Before the little dog escorted Lu Gong and Xiao Lin out of the trench, they heard gunshots. The puppy told them to hurry back, and the gunfire was an order, saying that they could not be sent again.
Lu Zhu and Xiao Lin didn't want to go back, they wanted to see what the devil looked like, and they had to follow the little dog to the position. Where will the puppy be willing.
At this moment, a fierce burst of shells exploded around them, and suddenly the night here was lit up by firelight, and it was obvious that the West Island had begun to attack.
Indeed, Nishijima could not wait long, he had to attack, ordering the mortar unit to launch an untargeted artillery attack on the opposite shore. The drop point is first near and then far away, then left and then right, and continues to extend. In any case, it is very advantageous for Nishijima to organize troops to force their way across the river after the artillery bombardment has caused damage to the enemy, and then destroy all the remaining enemies.
A volley of shells fell into the holes of the two soldiers, and suddenly the men with their guns flew into the sky with the wave of shells, and then they retreated heavily to the ground without any movement.
The taxi hiding in the tree scolded angrily when he saw it, and then couldn't help crying again. While crying and scolding the devil's mother and their eight-generation ancestors, he sorted out the grenades in the box and twisted the lid one by one.
Battalion Commander Geng on the hill heard gunfire and artillery fire. He ordered: "The devils are attacking, brothers, get ready for battle."
Lu Gong and Xiao Lin, who had never seen this kind of world, including the little dog, were all overwhelmed by this cannon. The little dog did not forget the instructions of the battalion commander, pulled the two of them and ran out, he was inexperienced, the shells came and he didn't know how to hide in some established craters, he just wanted to send them out, send the shells out of the group environment, and then go back to the trenches to fight the devils.
Hearing the sound of cannons, Lu Zhu was a little excited. He grabbed Xiao Lin and stopped running away with the little dog, and simply pulled the little dog down and squatted on the edge of a small hill and said, "Little dog, don't send us out, let's go fight with you together."
Xiao Lin also echoed: "Yes, I want to see what the devil looks like." Of course, the little dog will not agree: "Don't dream, this is not the place for you to stay, I promised, and the battalion commander will not agree." Alright, let's go, hurry back. I'm going to fight devils, it's too late, and the company commander will scold me for being a deserter, you know? Deserters are to be shot. After saying that, he picked up the gun and was about to leave, but was dragged by Lu Pole. Lu Gong said: "Yes, yes, little dog, that's right, don't be deserters, and we don't want to be deserters."
Little dog: "Forget it, you are not soldiers, your father won't let you regret being a soldier, you can't take a gun and still want to kill devils, in the next life, you."
These words choked Lu Gong, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Xiao Lin snatched it and said, "Little dog, I know a gun, come, I'll try to show you." As he spoke, he wanted to take the puppy's gun, but the puppy blocked it. When Lu Gong heard this, he immediately replied, "I can play with a big knife."
The little dog said, "I won't talk to you anymore, I don't care about you, you can do whatever you like, you have to go anyway." After speaking, he ran towards the position.
The cannonballs were still pouring, and the firelight illuminated the figure of the little dog, Lu Pole and Xiao Lin looked at the direction where the little dog was running, and each looked at each other, and the meaning could be seen from their faces: to go back or not to go back? Xiao Lin punched Lu Pole and said quickly: "Brother Pole, look, little dog, little dog, he, he, he, he fell." Lu turned to see that the puppy was struggling to get up, but still fell down.
"Did you get blown up by a bomb, let's go, let's go and see." Lu Pole pulled Xiao Lin and ran in the direction of the little dog. The little dog was hit by a shell, and his military uniform was blown to shreds. They were grief-stricken, tears flowed unconsciously, and the little friends who were alive just now suddenly became like this, and their hearts hurt like pins and needles.
They hugged the puppy and called out to him eagerly. The little dog opened his eyes, looked at his childhood friend, smiled crookedly at the corner of his mouth, and said weakly with difficulty: "Pole, I, I'm really useless, I didn't kill a devil." After speaking, he raised his hand with great effort, but his body weakened and closed his eyes.
What happened in front of them made Lu Gong and Xiao Lin simply can't believe that the reality is so cruel, they really don't understand that the damage caused by war is far more than the death of the little dog in front of them, and they don't understand that war is a fight between flesh and steel, a contest between perseverance and cowardice, a contest between wisdom and ignorance, and a game between madmen and ordinary people who don't know when it will end. They really don't understand, but they understand that the departure of the little dog in front of them is indeed caused by the war, and it is the invaders who have taken away their childhood friends.
The flow of blood cleared their eyes and the impulse of the teenager, and at the same time activated their hearts to avenge their partners. "Xiaolin, don't be afraid, just follow me." Lu Gong comforted Kobayashi. Who is afraid of Kobayashi? , Come on, come here, who are you afraid of, Brother Pole, you are here, I don't have to be afraid.
At this time, the sound of the explosion gradually became scarce, Xiao Lin looked at Lu Gong's resolute face and quieted down a little, Lu Jian took Xiao Lin's hand and said: "There is no choice, Teacher Yang said, the devil does many evils, and the sin cannot be escaped, as a man, he sacrificed his life for the country to resist Japan, and he died as a place." Seeing Xiao Lin nodded, Lu Gong turned to the body of the puppy lying on the ground and said, "Little dog, don't worry, I will help you kill the devil, and when I kill the devil to avenge you, I will come back and bring you back to see your father."
Xiao Lin picked up the gun and Lu pole next to the little dog and ran towards the trench of a company commander. A horse galloped from behind them, and Han Xiaocheng on horseback saw them blurry in front of him in the night, and suddenly pulled the reins to restrain the horse galloping forward, and stopped. He was followed by thirty soldiers. Han Xiaocheng approached and saw that it was them, and asked loudly: "Why are you still here, you want to die, hurry up and go back to me."
Xiao Lin was about to speak, but Lu Zhu grabbed him and said, "Okay, go back." After speaking, he pulled Xiao Lin and walked back.
Actually, Lu Gong won't leave, he doesn't want to have a conflict with Han Xiaocheng, if he is strong, maybe he will be bombarded back, and it will be helpless to avenge the little dog at that time.
After listening to Lu Gong's words, Xiao Lin convinced him.
When the soldiers ran forward, they turned back and ran after them to the position where the guns were already blaring.
12 After some indiscriminate artillery bombardment, Nishijima began to order the vanguard troops to cross the river at full speed and storm the positions of the Nationalists on the opposite bank. The soldier in the tree saw that the Japanese soldiers were starting to throw something into the river, and it was impossible for him to throw the grenade to the other side at his level, so he held a grenade and waited quietly. It is impossible to shoot with a gun, and a shot undoubtedly tells the devil where he is. He silently waited for the devil to come into his bomb range. What the devil threw into the river was a 95-style folding boat. They rushed methodically toward the river, boarded the boats, and quickly struck the opposite bank.
Translation Wang watched the hordes of devils rushing towards the boat next to the West Island, and his mood was very uneasy, he hated these Japanese. He clearly remembered that he had just returned from Japan, and was forcibly recruited by the Japanese devils on the dock of Hankou as an interpreter, he was extremely painful, and he wanted to return for the anti-Japanese war, but he did not expect that it would be such a return, and his heart was always lingering. The boats rowed in groups towards the center of the river.
The soldier on the tree gritted his teeth and said indignantly in his heart: "Come on, little devil, grandpa is waiting for you." Suddenly, an explosion sounded on the surface of the river, and the mines worked, and I saw that some boats were overturned, and the devils were thrown into the air one by one and fell into the river. Some became ghosts in the water, others screamed in the water, and blood flowed with the water. However, those Japanese soldiers who were not killed or injured because they had been trained in armed swimming did not panic, and still swam calmly and steadily towards the opposite shore in the dark night.
The situation in the river was seen by Nishijima, and he was so angry that he said loudly to Matsuo: "Yaga, why didn't you notice that the enemy was coming?" Matsuo said, "Shaozuo, please calm your anger, the final victory is ours."
Translator Wang said hatefully in his heart next to him: "Put your mother's shit."
"No matter what, I won't let the pig in front of me run away, pass my orders, and give me a fierce attack." Nishijima said loudly.
The soldier on the tree was energetic, and when he heard the thunder, he knew that the enemy had entered his bomb range, and by the light of the fire, he threw one grenade after another into the enemy group, and the devil could not find the direction, and like a red-eyed wolf, he fired aimlessly everywhere around, and a machine gunner lay on the boat and swept aimlessly forward and left and right for a while.
When the soldier in the tree extinguished the machine gun with the last grenade, Nishijima spotted it in the telescope, and angrily took the gun of a soldier next to him and shot down the soldier on the tree who was about to shoot with a grenade. The moment the soldier fell from the tree, he shouted: "Battalion Commander Geng, I am worth ......"
In the light of the guns, the first company commander and the squad leader were so angry that they jumped up and asked the battalion commander Geng to rush up to fight the enemy, but they were stopped by the battalion commander Geng. "All give Lao Tzu calm, they are good. The battle had just begun, and we waited here for the devils to come up, and when they came, they would give me a wolf to hit the target to the death. ”
"Brother Geng, I'm here." A voice came, and I saw a person come to him: "Report to Battalion Commander Geng, brother is ordered to report to him."
"Ah, Staff Officer Han, Han Xiaocheng, it's you, my brother, why are you here?" Battalion Commander Geng recognized his comrade-in-arms standing in front of him, and shouted happily when he saw him standing behind him with the thirty people.
Han Xiaocheng said that the head of the regiment was worried that you would not be able to stand it, so he asked me to bring these brothers to support you.
Battalion Commander Geng said that there is no need here, the regiment headquarters and the county seat of Nanxian County are important.
Han Xiaocheng said, I don't care, since the regiment commander called us, it is a battle. You send a mission.
When Battalion Commander Geng heard him say this, he didn't have much to say, and said to Han Xiaocheng, you go to the first company commander's position.
As they spoke, they didn't see or even think that there were Lu Gong and Xiao Lin lying on their stomachs in a ditch behind them not far away.
The enemy officially rushed up, although they rushed to the river bank and received some mines in the forward position, but the high-spirited devils still rushed towards the position of the company commander in the thunder, and encountered mines and were attacked head-on by the company commander and Han Xiaocheng.
When the devil finally met his opponent, his expression became excited, and he formed an attack queue in an orderly manner like a pack of wolves, and launched a fierce attack on the position of the company commander.
Gunfire erupted.
Lu Gong and the little forest cat in the ravine watched the fierce battle with the gunfire ahead. Lu Gong asked Xiao Lin, "Gun mile."
Kobayashi: "Lost."
Lu Gong knocked on Xiaolin's skull: "There is not enough success, but there are more failures."
"Blame me, the official saw me holding a gun, he wouldn't scold me if he didn't throw it away, and he wouldn't arrest us and send us back. And blame me, blame me, we won't be here to watch them fight. ”
"Where did you learn such a mother-in-law?" Lu Jian felt that what Xiao Lin said made sense: "Forget it, don't say it, we have to find a way to get a gun." ”
"Where to find it." Xiao Lin looked around: "If you want a gun, you can only go down the mountain to pick it up, you have the guts, but I don't have the guts."
"Let's go." Lu Gong ignored what he said, picked up Xiao Lin and ran in the direction of the ammunition depot. From time to time, the flying bullets landed on the hillside beside them, and in the shadow of the strong tracer bullets, puffs of smoke and dust bounced. They crawled and ran to the place where the munitions were stored. They had left their ammunition here this afternoon, and Lupole knew that guns should be found in those boxes.
"Don't move, what are you doing here?" While they were looking for a gun, a soldier who came to carry ammunition saw them. They were stunned, and then stabilized their emotions, and Lu Gong said with a smile: "Brother Jun, what are we not doing, it's okay, we are here to help you move ammunition."
"Okay, hurry, just right, hurry." After saying that, he carried a box of ammunition and ran out along the trench. Lu Gong readily agreed, and after the soldier carried the box of ammunition and ran out, they looked for a gun in the box for a while but did not see a single one, all some bullets and grenades, Lu Gong shouted and pointed to a box of grenades and said, "Forget it, Xiaolin, move this." Xiao Lin responded and hurriedly carried a box and ran out with Lu Pole.
They ran into the trenches with a box of ammunition on their shoulders. The battle was extremely fierce, the devils with marching bags on their backs held the 38 big covers with bayonets already loaded, and charged towards the front of the company commander by the light of the tracer bullets in front of the position, all of them were heroic, the first row fell, and the second row fearlessly shouted and rushed forward. The wounded devils did not get out of the line of fire, and opened fire on the national army with a tenacious spirit. A devil soldier who was obviously seriously wounded already knew that he could not work harder, and for fear of affecting his comrades, he took off the bayonet from his gun, shouted, "Long live the Emperor", and raised his hand to stab him in the chest.
The madness of the devils angered Battalion Commander Geng, and the Chinese soldiers guarding the territory. They fought so hard that the first wave of the devil's impact was ineffective, and they suffered heavy casualties. Battalion Commander Geng, who was fighting vigorously, suddenly spotted Lu Gong and Xiao Lin, who were running towards his trench with a box of ammunition. As soon as they got near, he threw them down in the ditch and cursed them head-on. "Don't die, is this where you came from? Huh?"
"Battalion Commander Geng, the puppy is dead." Lu Zhan didn't care about the scolding of the battalion commander Geng, and said with tears in his eyes.
"The puppy is dead? Didn't I send you out just now? How did you die?"
"Blown up." Kobayashi said with tears in his eyes. Battalion Commander Geng looked at the sky and looked at the two of them for a long time without squeaking. Suddenly he yelled at them, "You know what? This is war, this is a war to be paid with blood with your life, you know that people will die, why don't you go back with Lao Tzu, and come here to mix with something? Don't you think Lao Tzu has nothing to do, there are so many devils in front of me Lao Tzu to fight, do you want Lao Tzu to come out and take care of you little rabbit cubs, ah. Get back to me!"
"If we don't go back, we will avenge the puppy." Lu Gong was not only not shocked by his words, but strengthened his determination to stay and kill the devil. He also shouted loudly at Camp Commander Geng.
Xiao Lin saw Lu Gong shouting like this: "If you don't go back, we will avenge the little dog." Their tone suppressed Camp Commander Geng, but Camp Commander Geng said to them, "What can you do if you stay?"
"I'll shoot it." Xiao Lin said loudly with a puff in his chest. "I can play with big knives, I can do kung fu, and I can carry ammunition boxes." Lu Gong replied confidently and loudly.
When the battalion commander Geng heard this, he shouted: "Jia Mai, take them to the first company commander, let them load the bullets, carry the ammunition box, and let them play with the big knife." Jamai led them to the position of a company commander.
Along the way, hearing Xiao Lin say that he would be able to shoot bullets, Lu Gong almost wanted to laugh.
Xiao Lin said that I am a studious person, so I may not know.
Lu said to him, "Ox, but when I get there, I can't carry the ammunition box, you have to tell me how to load the ammunition."
After arriving at the position, Xiao Lin told Lu Gong how to let the bullets be loaded while loading the soldiers, and at the same time boasted in front of Lu Gong how smart he was, and said to Lu Gong proudly: "I'll shoot and kill a devil later, don't be greedy."
"Think I really can't shoot? You don't know where to play with mud when I use the gun?" Lu Gong retorted.
"You're fighting birds, not devils. Look at me. Kobayashi teased Lu Gong. As he spoke, he slowly poked his head out of the trench with his gun loaded with a good bullet, and Lu Pole followed suit. Xiao Lin stretched out the gun and aimed it, and with a snap of his fingers, there was a "bang". The man stepped back and laughed at Jamai and Lu Gong. Lu Gong hurriedly stepped forward and asked Xiao Lin if he was okay? Kobayashi said in a daze that it was okay, only that he felt as if the butt of the gun had knocked him down.
Jamai told them that it was a function of recoil.
Xiao Lin didn't care about him, he just asked Lu Gong vigorously: "Did I hit the devil?"
Lu Gong replied: "If you hit a fart, I'm afraid that the bullet will fly to the moon, and if you hit Chang'e, Wu Gang will settle accounts with you."
Xiao Lin said that he didn't believe it, and he had to stand up and shoot a second shot, Lu Gong snatched Xiao Lin's gun, and his heart was itching to give it a try, Xiao Lin wanted to snatch the gun back, and in the middle of the dispute, a company commander saw it and said loudly: "What are you doing, hurry up and get bullets with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has no bullets." When he saw Jia Mai still there, he said to him, "Go back and go to Camp Commander Geng, do you hear that?" ”
Wheat did not go alone, but ran in the direction of the ammunition depot with Lu Gong. On the way to carry the ammunition, Lu Zhu asked Xiaolin how to shoot the gun as he ran, whether it was the same as shooting birds.
Xiao Lin waved his hand to Lu Gong as if he had been playing with a gun for a long time and said: "It's not like that at all, a bird is a bird, a devil is a devil, these are two different things, a gun is a gun, a gun is a gun, of course your gun can't be compared with my gun."
"I don't believe it, I can hit such a small bird, but the devil is so difficult to fight? I'm going to take a few shots today. ”
"Make no mistake, you're hitting a flock of birds. Just put it on, don't aim at it, it's dozens, you blow it. ”
Lu Jian was not convinced, and hugged Xiao Lin: "Then you hurry up and tell me what the trick is?"
Xiao Lin was hugged by him and said, "I don't know too well. ”
Jia Mai listened and said to Lu Zhuan: "Three points and one line, three points and one line, just have a front tread in front of you to aim at the devil." Lu Gong let go of Xiao Lin, didn't care about Xiao Lin anymore, said thank you to the wheat, and when he arrived at the ammunition depot, he picked up a box of iron boxes and ran, he could think about shooting and avenging the little dog.
Entering the trench, Lu Pole put a box of bullets next to the machine gun of the company commander and ran to Xiao Lin to take the gun he was loading, Xiao Lin crouched beside him and said loudly: "I asked just now, is the recoil too much, this, the butt of the gun must be close to here, in order to resist, you know?"
"Got it, go go, stay aside." With the light of the tracer bullet, Lu Pole aimed his gun at a devil who was charging upwards. Nervous, he asked Xiao Lin whether he hit the head or the body.
Kobayashi told him to fight wherever he was sure. Lu Pole aimed at the devil's chest, and with a movement of his fingers, the bullet came out of the chamber, and the devil fell to the ground on his back and did not move. He hugged Xiaolin and jumped on the ground so happily, and was scolded fiercely by the company commander: "If you want to die, squat down for Lao Tzu." "They hurried to the edge of the trenches.
Lu Gong said to Xiao Lin: "Accept it, boy." The first time he fought a devil and used a gun for the first time, he turned out to be a god, and of course Xiao Lin obeyed him.
Battalion Commander Geng saw that the devil's offensive was slowly weakening, and the enemy's gunfire gradually stopped. He ordered the signal corps to release a tracer bullet, and in the light, he saw that the devils were retreating towards the river.
Battalion Commander Geng said: "The devil has retreated, go, go to the position of the commander of the first company and take a look." "Battalion Commander Geng's judgment is right. Seeing that Nishijima could not be attacked for a long time, and was not very familiar with the environment of the battlefield in the dark night, and a blind attack would only bring greater casualties, Nishijima ordered to withdraw his troops and withdraw to the river to rest temporarily. Nishijima thought about it again and again and decided not to attack at night, and ordered all units to be on guard.
13 Battalion Commander Geng asked the commander of the first company to report the number of casualties, check the weapons and ammunition, and strengthen the vigilance. At the beginning of the battle, he did not hear the gunfire of the second company and the three sides, and knew that there was nothing to be done there. As soon as the fighting stopped, he feared that in case of a sudden withdrawal of devils, he would launch a surprise attack from the left flank and the right side. He said to Han Xiaocheng: "Xiaocheng, you go over there, I'll go over here and see how the situation is?" Han Xiaocheng agreed and ran towards the position on the left, and Battalion Commander Geng and the signal corps went to the position on the right.
As soon as Battalion Commander Geng left, the company commander ridiculed Lu Gong after finishing his military affairs. "Little rabbit cub, yes, just picked up the gun and let you kill a devil, Lao Tzu has only swept a dozen of them with a machine gun for so long, not bad."
When Lu Jian heard this, he laughed and cocked his tail: "Needless to say, I have been shooting birds on the river since I was a child, so I naturally have marksmanship, which is called being born to shoot guns."
Xiao Lin said: "Blow, if I hadn't taught you, you wouldn't know where the bullets are going."
"If a blind cat touches a dead mouse, and hit, I don't believe that your hands don't shake and you don't panting." The commander of the company patted Lu Pole's skull.
"Who said that, Brother Pole, this is a sparrow on Dongting Lake, who has seen the wind and waves." Although Xiao Lin laughed at Lu Gong, he still stood on Lu Gong's side at the critical moment, and everyone laughed.
Lu Pole attached to Xiao Lin's ear: "You just want to be bigger, don't say sparrows, you want to talk about eagles, it should be eagles on the mountains."
"Yes, yes, Brother Pole is an eagle, an eagle on the high mountain, and an eagle fighting in the blue sky." Xiao Lin hurriedly corrected angrily. Lu Gong became even more proud.
The company commander smiled, wiped the dust off his face, and said with white teeth: "Then you tell me what the eagle looks like?"
Xiao Lin looked at Lu Pole and didn't squeak, he really hadn't seen it. "Anyway, it's bigger than a sparrow, and it flies higher than a sparrow."
"Whether it's a sparrow or an eagle, you two will go back with me." Battalion Commander Geng returned from his position over there.
Lu Gong and Xiao Lin's joy disappeared all at once.
Yes, yes, the first company commander hurriedly responded: "Go back, hurry back, or your father and mother will be in a hurry at home." After that, he would pull them out of the trenches. Lu Gong and Xiao Lin broke free from his hands, holding a wooden stake in the trench but refused to go back.
Seeing them like this, the commander of the first company pretended to do ideological work: "Little rabbit, listen to me, the devil you saw tonight will not look like this tomorrow at dawn."
Xiao Lin hurriedly asked, "What does it look like?"
"Bloody mouth, green face and fangs, three legs and four ears, five hands and six toes, shawl and long hair, like the devil." The first company commander frightened them, and the words of the first company commander also made the soldiers next to him laugh.
Lu Gong hugged the stake tightly and said, "Xiaolin, believe it, I won't believe his nonsense." Xiao Lin followed Lu Gong and said, "Don't believe it or not." In fact, he was really a little stunned in his heart.
Battalion Commander Geng said to the surrounding soldiers, what to see, pay attention to vigilance, and wait for the devil to touch it, and he doesn't know how his head fell off. From the bottom of his heart, Camp Commander Geng really likes the two guys who grew up in the lake and the river. But they are not soldiers, they are ordinary people, they are students. This is the battlefield, the place where the dead are going to die. He stepped forward and said to Lu Gong: "Pole boy, you should go back, you can't stay here, the devil doesn't know when it will come up again, at that time, I really can't control you."
Lu Gong came up reluctantly: "Don't worry about it, as long as you can kill the devil, don't worry about anything, I want to kill the devil."
"You." Battalion Commander Geng didn't know what to do when he heard it, and shouted: "You are really a bull." Jaw, take a few warriors and drive them out for me. ”
"Wait." Han Xiaocheng, who came back from another position, watched from the side for a long time. He pulled Camp Commander Geng to the side and said, "Old Geng, I think these two boys are good, they are not afraid of death, they are aspiring young men, you just follow them." What's more, it's too late to go back at this time, it's not safe on the road, and it's not a good thing to really run into a devil. ”
Battalion Commander Geng listened and said nothing, but came to them and told them that they would stay here tonight and not go anywhere, and that they would send someone to send them back at dawn tomorrow. As soon as he heard that there was no need to call them back, Lu Pole jumped for joy. As long as you don't let me go back now, you can hit a few devils if you stay here, and you can go back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Han Xiaocheng made a suggestion, whether to send a group of people to harass the devil's station, first, to eliminate some devils, and second, to find out some of the devil's reality.
Battalion Commander Geng thought for a while and did not agree. The reason is very simple, this operation of the devils is by no means a simple operation, the number of people is by no means as simple as a dozen hundred people, and the withdrawal of the devils is fiercely intercepted by us, they don't know our details for the time being, maybe they are collecting our intelligence at this time. As long as we stick to this place in response to all changes, and the superiors have instructed us to do so.
Han Xiaocheng listened and no longer insisted on his own thoughts.
Xiao Lin looked at the night, and the cat pointed behind him with his hand in the trench in the direction where the devil was stationed, and quietly said to Lu Pole: "Brother Pole, is the devil that the company commander said really look like that?" Lu Zhu knocked on Xiaolin and said, "Yes, the first company commander is right, they are different from us, see you tomorrow, it's strange if you don't scare you to death, stop talking, let's go, let's go to the company commander." When he came to the first company commander, he returned the broadsword to the first company commander.
Yue'er shuttled through the clouds from time to time, and the position was still filled with a thick smell of choking gunsmoke.
14. The sky gradually showed the whiteness of the fish's belly. A day full of murderous energy, full of gunsmoke, full of gunfire, full of the sound of fighting, is coming.
Nishijima stepped out of the tent, and from his haggard face, it looked like he hadn't slept well last night, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked in front of him with a telescope, and finally saw clearly the position where he had fought with the national army yesterday. A hill, several layers of trenches, the heads of the national army sometimes appear and sometimes disappear. When he moved further to the other side, he found a few wisps of green smoke rising from the mountain next to him. When I looked closely, the figures of the soldiers who appeared on the hills on the two sides couldn't help but gasp in my heart, fortunately I didn't attack rashly last night, otherwise it would have entered their pockets. He eagerly summoned his men to discuss the battle that was about to take place during the day.
Battalion Commander Geng woke up early, picked up his binoculars and looked at the river in front of the forward position. I saw Nishijima and several officers pointing in the direction of the second and third companies. Strange in his heart, seeing that the mountains on his left and right flanks were emitting thick green smoke, it was time to cook, he knew that it was not good, it must have been so that the devils found out that there were ambushes on the mountain, and he hurriedly ordered the signal soldiers to call the company commanders and Han Xiaocheng.
Battalion Commander Geng told them what he had seen, severely criticized the commanders of the second and third companies, scolded them for committing military taboos, scolded them for being a group of rice buckets that knew how to eat, and exposed that the target was a dead end, and also said that if the position could not be defended, they would be sent to the military court, and scolded the two company commanders so that they did not dare to face it squarely.
The sound was loud, waking Lu Gong and Xiao Lin from their sleep. It was Han Xiaocheng who was calm, persuaded Battalion Commander Geng to put out the fire, and discussed countermeasures together.
"You say, what should I do? The situation of the two mountains has been exposed, and they can't stay any longer, if the devils cannon, they will all be finished. Originally, we used a company as bait, and after the devils attacked, we pretended to fail and retreated, and let them enter our pockets, but it's a good thing, but it's bad for you people, grandma's. Battalion Commander Geng was angry again.
"I think so, old Geng, don't be dry." Han Xiaocheng said: "Since the devils have discovered our intentions, why don't we come up with a plan, we still hold the front and stick to the devils, give up the positions of the second and third companies, detour back to the left and right flanks of the devils, and hide in the woods on the second side and wait for an opportunity to act, so as to relieve our frontal pressure." Battalion Commander Geng thought about it, the current situation, can only be like this, thinking that it is feasible, Han Xiaocheng arranged the battle plan to the commanders of the second and third companies in detail.
When they heard Lu Zhuan, who was eavesdropping outside, they were excited and nervous in their hearts, excited that they were going to fight devils again, and nervous because they were afraid that Camp Commander Geng would send them out, what should I do? I've got to figure it out. Lu Jian pulled Xiao Lin and ran, he had to hide first, he couldn't let Battalion Commander Geng and them see it, and when the battle started, it would be impossible to bomb them away, how could they care about them if they were red-eyed. They ran to the other side of the mountain in one go, and looked down on the top of the hill to see the situation below. They saw Battalion Commander Geng and his party walking in the trench, checking the soldiers' guns one by one, and Battalion Commander Geng was still asking the signal soldier something, and the signal soldier looked around and shook his head.
I guess I'm looking for them. Battalion Commander Geng looked around, probably without seeing them, and returned to the command post.
Lu Gong and Kobayashi breathed a sigh of relief. "But, Brother Pole, what should we do if we stay here? If we really die here, my father won't agree, you die, and your sister, I'm dead, my father will go to support him. Xiao Lin's eyes appeared in front of the tragic situation of the little dog's death.
"But what? Teacher Yang often tells us that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband? Look at you coward, get out of the way, don't get in the way of me killing the devil and avenging the puppy. Lu Jian couldn't wait to stomp on him: "At the critical moment, I became like this dog, let me take a look to see if your crotch is wet." As he spoke, he touched him.
Xiao Lin stood up and ran away: "Okay, I won't tell you, even if I say it's okay?" At that time, I don't know who will really fight the devil. ”
Before the words fell, he heard a few shells of "clang", which attracted the eyes of the second boy, and he saw that the artillery fire on the positions of the second and third companies was continuous, and the trees on the hill were blown up everywhere, and the mud on the mountain turned over and over, and the marching stove flew into the sky.
Nishijima didn't want his soldiers to make indifferent sacrifices, and the lives of the Imperial Japanese Army were extremely important to him. After consulting with the officers, it was decided to first use artillery to bombard the ambush positions of the Nationalist troops on both sides for a while, and then send a main force to carry out the final sweep, occupy the left and right flanks, and then outflank the enemy in front and annihilate them in one fell swoop. The meaning is very simple, he doesn't want his troops to become turtles in the urn, but wants the Chinese soldiers to become his dumplings in the pot and meat on the board.
As the shells flew towards the enemy positions, he cursed: "Blow up these China pigs, a bunch of stupid pigs!" He was glad that he had discovered it early, and if he really fell for the tricks of the national army, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would use artillery fire to destroy the enemy when they were not paying attention, and then concentrate his forces to destroy the frontal enemy. However, Nishidao's abacus did not succeed, and it was not expected that Battalion Commander Geng had already noticed and guarded against it, and the two companies had already withdrawn from their original positions and entered a jungle under the mountain.
The two mountains were filled with flames and smoke.
They really saw it from the mountain. Battalion Commander Geng saw it really well. All the soldiers saw it for real. Everyone is rejoicing, admiring Battalion Commander Geng's insight.
The commanders of the second and third companies who withdrew were all shocked into a cold sweat, but fortunately they withdrew in time, otherwise they didn't fire a single shot, not a single devil was fired, and they didn't even know what the devil looked like, and they almost became unjust ghosts under the devil's shells.
The sound of the artillery gradually stopped.
Battalion Commander Geng knew that the devil was about to attack, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, the commander of the second and third companies he didn't have to worry about it, he didn't have to worry about it, he made preparations in the morning and made careful deployment, if he found that the enemy was rushing straight to the position of the first company, it means that the devil's attention is still here, and there is only one road leading to the county seat, because the devil estimated that this artillery fire had already eliminated the national army next to him.
However, Battalion Commander Geng still thought wrong and underestimated the devil. Nishijima did not throw all his forces into the position of the first company commander, but divided the troops into three directions, and in the middle still attacked the position of the first company commander with the main force, and the left and right flanks respectively sent part of the troops to clean up the battlefield there.
When the enemy attacked him, Battalion Commander Geng did not know that the enemy had attacked his troops in three ways, and all this was seen by Lu Pole on the top of the mountain, he found that it was wrong, he couldn't care so much, he ran down from the mountain, he didn't care about the guns whistling around him, he ran towards the command post of Battalion Commander Geng, Xiao Lin saw Lu Pole running towards the position below the mountain, and he also rolled and climbed after Lu Pole.
Lu Zhu ran to Camp Commander Geng and said something, Camp Commander Geng saw that it was him, he was stunned at first, and then said loudly: "Why are you still here?" I didn't hear what you said just now, hurry up and go home, don't get in the way of me fighting devils. At this time, Xiao Lin also came panting.
Lu Zhuo knew that he didn't hear it, so he shouted loudly: "Battalion Commander Geng, there are devils on the left and right." As soon as Battalion Commander Geng heard him, he quickly picked up the binoculars and looked left and right, and saw in his line of sight that the devils were moving quickly to the left and right, while the devils in front of him were advancing forward without hurrying, and he realized that the original ambush position was discovered by the devils, and after putting the artillery for a while just now, the devils had changed their strategy, that is, they thought that the national troops on the left and right flanks were wiped out by artillery fire, and then occupied the two sides of the hill, and then outflanked their positions from the left and right.
"Vicious devils." He understood the devil's intentions and cursed in his heart. Then he shouted: "Signal soldiers, wheat, you go to the second and third companies to convey my orders, and let them quickly enter the second line of defense."
The second line of defense mentioned by Battalion Commander Geng was actually the hill where Lu Gong and the others had just hidden. Now there is no way, you can only deal with the devil with the main force, on the mountain, you can look around the four fields, you can resist the enemy's attack, even if the devil breaks through along that road, it will also give the devil a painful blow.
Hearing the order, the signal soldier and Wheat immediately ran in the direction of the woods on the right and left. As soon as they left, Battalion Commander Geng pressed Lu Pole and Xiaolin into the trench, and said loudly in the sound of gunfire: "Lao Tzu thought you were going back just now, it turned out that I was playing with Lao Tzu, mother, when the battle is over, I will settle accounts with you, grandma, since you are here, go to the bullet with the company commander."
Lu Jian thought that Battalion Commander Geng would knock them down the mountain, but after listening to his words, he was so excited that he even said that he wanted to get them. Lu Pole ran to the side of the first company commander, the first company commander smiled at him, did not speak, still firing his machine gun, suddenly a bullet hit his right chest, he felt a pain, blood gushing, the right hand that pulled the trigger stopped disobediently, Han Xiaocheng, who was shooting at the devil with a spear nearby, ran over, didn't say anything, took his machine gun and fired at the devil who rushed up.
Lu Gong supported the company commander to snuggle up to the edge of the trench and said, "Company commander, are you okay?" The first company commander looked at him and said: "Boy, let me tell you the truth, originally, I was going to use this knife to cut a few devils, it seems that I can't do it, I'll give you this knife, no one can use this knife, I won't give it to you if you don't play well that day, you don't kill a few devils with Lao Tzu today, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up."
Lu Gong happily said to the company commander: "If I don't kill a few devils to show you today, I won't be Lu Gong, I'm a straw bag pus, or not."
The company commander laughed, and at this time, he heard a fierce gunshot, and he wanted to stand up, but the sharp pain in his right chest made him sit down again, and a health soldier ran over and helped the company commander bandage the wound. At this time, Kobayashi came with a box of machine gun bullets. Seeing that the first company commander was injured and was about to comfort him, the first company commander spoke: "Boy, leave me alone, your bullets are fast, go over there to load the bullets." Kobayashi honestly put down the ammunition box and went to the side of a soldier to load the bullets.
When the two troops sent by Nishidao frantically rushed towards the positions on the three sides of the second company, the soldiers sent by the commander of the first company and the signal soldiers of the battalion commander Geng had already rushed to the woods where the first and second companies were hiding, and conveyed the order of the battalion commander Geng, and the two companies immediately rushed from the woods to the hill under the command of the company commander.
When the devils discovered their intentions, they opened fire behind them while chasing them, killing several soldiers, but the soldiers of the second and third companies did not care so much and gathered towards the hill with all their might.
Battalion Commander Geng saw in his binoculars that they were gathering on the top of the mountain, and an arc-shaped battle offensive had begun, and his brow furrowed.
