Shi Sihua said: "You can retreat." But we can't retreat, we haven't received the order to retreat yet. ”

Han Xing looked at it, and a black telephone line had already been blown up and broken into countless pieces. Han Xing said: "Even if the superiors have orders, you can't receive them." Why don't you send someone to contact you? ”

Shi Sihua shook his head and said: "Of the more than 500 officers and soldiers in our battalion, there are only forty or fifty people left, and many of these forty or fifty people can no longer walk and must be carried down. Since I have chosen the profession of a soldier, I should be proud of the horse leather shroud, and I am a man who should defend the country. The battle has come to this point, all the officers and men of our 3rd Battalion are born together, and they will die together! ”

Han Xing was deeply moved after hearing this. At this time, Zhang Xiaosan quietly pulled Han Xing aside and said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, we can't retreat!" ”

Han Xing glanced at Shi Sihua and said to Zhang Xiaosan: "If they don't withdraw, how can we withdraw!" ”

Zhang Xiaosan persuaded Han Xing and said: "Commander Han, I, Zhang Xiaosan, am not a person who is afraid of death. But you have to think about it for the Southern Expeditionary Army, if you really hang up, who will command the Air Force again, and who will command the Southern Expeditionary Army. You have to think about the big picture! Otherwise, our guard company will resolutely complete the task you have given us, but you will have to withdraw. Otherwise, I can't explain to the Southern Expeditionary Army. ”

Han Xing said: "Our Southern Expeditionary Army is a whole, oh, I have withdrawn, and your guards will not retreat, what is the matter!?" We have now come to the Straw Shoes Ridge, we have withdrawn, but we can throw the Shi Sihua Battalion on the Straw Shoes Ridge in vain, I can't bear it! ”

Zhang Xiaosan was angry: "Commander Han can't have the kindness of a woman, you think about the Shi Sihua battalion, then, who thinks about the Southern Expeditionary Army." Who thinks about the 3000 soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army!? ”

"Get out of the way!" Han Xing scolded him, "I don't need you to teach me a lesson." Tell me these big truths!? ”

At this time, a Chinese soldier ran along the small bridge of the Xinqiang River. He climbed from the small valley between the mountains on both sides to the mountain, quickly found Shi Sihua, saluted the battalion commander Shi Sihua and said:

"Report to Battalion Commander Shi Sihua, I am the correspondent of the 195th Division, and I came to convey the order of Division Commander Qin at the command of Division Commander Qin Yizhi. Division Commander Qin said that your task has been accomplished, and if you cannot persist, you can retreat as a last resort. ”

Shi Sihua listened to the correspondent's order, and his nose "snorted": "When the soldiers have no last resort, they swear to live and die with the position!" Go back, your mission is complete. ”

After listening to Shi Sihua's words, Han Xing frowned and persuaded him: "Battalion Commander Shi, I know that you have stubbornly held out for three days, have delayed the enemy army, and completed the task of buying time for the follow-up battle deployment. Since Master Qin has given the order, you can withdraw! ”

Shi Sihua listened to Han Xing's advice, and said to Han Xing in a soft voice: "Commander Han, I thank the Southern Expeditionary Army for its kindness. But if you look at our 3rd battalion, it's already abandoned. If we can still hold on to fighting for a while, it can be regarded as buying a little more time for our 195th Division and 52nd Army. But if we withdraw, not only will it be difficult to withdraw, but if we withdraw, we will also be abandoned. There is no longer a chance to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. ”

Han Xing glanced at Zhang Xiaosan, which means that if you look at Shi Sihua's ideological realm, is it high! Who said that the quality of the national army is poor, and there are many orthodox soldiers like Shi Sihua who have a strong sense of the overall situation.

Zhang Xiaosan was speechless and lowered his head, but Zhang Xiaosan was still unconvinced, and said in his heart: "I, Zhang Xiaosan, is not a question of whether the realm is high or not, it is your Commander Han who is blind, and I can't see Mount Tai!" ”

Japanese air raids began again.

More than a dozen planes wantonly bombed our Straw Shoe Ridge position. For a time, the Chinese defenders' positions were dusty, thick smoke was billowing out, flames were soaring, flesh and blood were flying, many trenches and fortifications were blown up, and many defenders were buried alive in bunkers. Both the Shi Sihua battalion and the Southern Expeditionary Army were facing a catastrophe.

Zhang Xiaosan unleashed his martial arts again, pressing Han Xing tightly under his body, and covering Han Xing with his flesh and blood.

In order to increase the lethality of our troops, they flew at low altitudes over the Straw Shoe Ridge, strafing and bombing, and hovering for a long time over the mountaintop trenches where the troops were hidden, dropping bombs when they found a target, and also carrying out frantic strafing.

Not only was the altitude of the plane very low, but the speed was also significantly slowed down. The height and speed of the plane made platoon commander Wu Xiaoming, who had been facing up, take a closer look at the plane, and the sun flag was printed on both wings of the plane. In the cab was a doll-like, young face.

Seeing the dazzling sun flag, Wu Xiaoming hated from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his heart, and he had an uncontrollable urge to shoot. Suddenly, an enemy plane had flown directly above him. At this time, the enemy plane was only more than 100 meters above Wu Xiaoming, and the slightest disturbance on the ground would lead to wanton and indiscriminate bombing.

Looking at the 95-1 fighter plane flying around at an altitude of more than 100 meters, Wu Xiaoming couldn't help but clench the assault rifle in his hand. He was unwilling, and in a matter of seconds, he stared at the plane while opening the safety and preparing to shoot.

He watched the plane fly sideways in front of him, he raised his assault rifle and quickly got up, using the branch as a support, aiming as he calculated the advance of the shot according to the speed of the plane. Then the finger pulled the trigger, and ......the bullets of the 30 assault rifles were fired mercilessly, all of which were fired at the enemy plane.

The Japanese plane shook twice, dragging a long black smoke towards the Xinqiang River. The plane flew for a while, but it couldn't fly, and then it plunged into the Xinqiang River, and the collision of fire and water caused another storm of waves, and the water column jumped up to the sky, and then slowly fell, and the river water was all sprinkled on the wreckage of the plane.

The Nationalists on Straw Shoes Ridge were the first to cheer and shoot down the plane with their rifles, something they could never have dreamed of. Some of the soldiers even forgot that the enemy planes were still bombing, and they cheered and shouted with joy. Slaughtering the plane not only relieved the hatred in his heart, but also avenged the dead brothers.

Even the soldiers who were lying quietly in the trenches, with their eyes long closed, smiled, they had souls, as if the souls were silently enjoying the moment of happiness through their eyes that had long been closed: the plane of the little devils, you also have today. Hum! When our country becomes stronger, sooner or later you will see.

The soldiers of the Nationalist Army on the south bank of the New Wall River also cheered loudly. Hmph, little devil, the plane of the invincible little devil actually has today, and it was shot down by us with a rifle. It would be better if we had anti-aircraft guns, depending on how long you are rampant.

Perhaps the rifle hit also frightened the Japanese planes from the air raids. They flew high and no longer dared to provoke trouble at low altitudes.

After the air raid, there was a deathly silence on Straw Shoe Ridge. Zhang Xiaosan pulled Han Xing out of the soil nest, Han Xing was not injured, and Zhang Xiaosan was not as lucky as last time. He had two wounds on his body, and although there were no fatal wounds, it was certainly not so convenient to move and fight.

Zhang Xiaosan counted the number of guards in the company, there were still forty or fifty people, the second battle had not yet started, half of the personnel had already been killed, and more than a dozen people were wounded.

Shi Sihua is also counting his number, there are still twenty or thirty people, if these people want to withdraw, they can't withdraw at this time.

These twenty or thirty people were all tightly surrounded by Shi Sihua. Shi Sihua encouraged them and said, "Brothers, we are alive together, and we are companions when we die, even when we go to Lord Yama, we are also brothers in the battalion. If you have anything to say, or any letters you have to carry, give them to the brethren of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and ask them to bring them to us. ”

Some of the soldiers had dull eyes, and the war had numbed their nerves. I have seen too many dead people, I have seen too many brothers fall from my side one by one, and it is a miracle that I have survived until now.

Some of the soldiers still had something to say, quietly writing their last words: "Parents, farewell." It's not that my son is unfilial, but I really have to do this, too many brothers have fallen before me, and it's my turn. Zifan chose the profession of a soldier, and it is not up to me to decide whether he lives or dies. ”

Some fighters wrote on their last words: "Auntie, I'm really sorry for you, I'll go first." The burden left for you is too great, and you are really unwilling, the elderly need to be taken care of, and the son needs to be raised. I'm underground, and I'll bless you, work hard! Thank you for your hard work. ”

These letters were delivered to Han Xing's hands one by one.

However, many letters could not be delivered because many of them had unclear addresses, and the handwriting was blurred and stained with blood.

Shi Sihua also encouraged the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, saying: "Brothers, we have also arranged what should be arranged, and you can go on the road with peace of mind." Everyone rests again, and then they continue to fight in one breath until they run out of bullets, and then they can rest for a long time. ”

The Japanese offensive began again, and a large area of yellow pressure came up. Han Xing estimated that there were about two brigades, nearly 2,000 people, and the ratio of personnel on Straw Shoe Ridge was 28 to 1.

The commander of the Nara Brigade personally escorted the battle behind, brandished his shining command knife, pointed to the top of the hill, and howled loudly: "Duck give--until the last man in the battle must take the Straw Shoe Ridge." Rabbit give-"

The 6th Division of the Japanese Army is known as invincible and invincible, and they have participated in almost every major battle of aggression against China, and they have played their role well.

When the Japanese officers and men of the two brigades heard the order of the commander of the Nara Brigade, they immediately howled loudly as if they had been injected with hormones, "Rush-" "Kill--" and "Kill all the soldiers-" They rushed towards the side of the Straw Shoe Ridge as if no one was there.
