Chapter 100: Escape Plan
"Report, a company appears ahead!" The correspondent reported.
"I'm watching, what are you yelling about, just come back, just come back......" The battalion commander looked at with a telescope.
"There are only a dozen people left in a company commander, how miserable is this battle?" The chief of staff muttered as he looked at the tears that flowed from the corners of the battalion commander's eyes.
The commander of the first company ran into the position of the third battalion with eighteen people, constantly panting, "Alas! Mom sells hemp batches, what a battalion commander, I'm tired to death! ”
When the battalion commander saw the company commander, he hurriedly greeted him, turned around and shouted to the chief of staff: "Quick, assemble quickly, Company Commander Shu, I know you are very tired, but there is no time, the whole battalion will evacuate immediately, you can only work hard!" ”
"Battalion commander, I know, the devil is chasing after him!" The company commander smiled bitterly.
The battalion commander walked out of the outpost and said to the commander of a company who followed behind him: "In order to grasp the situation of the Songjiang battle, the military headquarters issued an order to hold the west of the town for three days, and those who violate discipline will be severely punished by military law. Our battalion must rush to the west end of the town before seven o'clock and hurry over to establish a position. ”
After listening to the battalion commander's words, the on one side couldn't help but frown. But as long as there is a time-limited task, there is never good fruit to eat, not to mention that it is an order from the military department, Shanghai seems to be completely finished, alas! It seems that this time we all have to go to heaven here.
Night finally fell, said that there were not many people left in a battalion, about 200 people, the whole battalion everyone knew in their hearts, they all saw it when they came, the defenders of Shanghai began to retreat yesterday, but the whole regiment was marching in the direction of the devils, and the rest were covering, blocking, and broken troops.
A company of eighteen men was assigned to defend the western side of the battalion, and the' squad was assigned to a higher bush area because of the land aviation.
As a sniper position, under the leadership of the, Lu Hang found a natural pit on a slope in the bushes, and several people used a lot of miscellaneous trees to cover the pit.
The nigger sat down next to Lu Hang, and when he saw Lu Hang's face looking dazed, he couldn't help asking, "Little bastard, what do you want?" ”
Lu Hang's brows also furrowed, rubbed his hair and said, "How do I feel that the people in the whole camp are in a very low mood, is this battle very dangerous?" ”
The looked at him like a recruit, and his heart must have been very burdened and stressed, and now he was stuck on the Huangpu River, so he didn't need to think about it, the lives of a battalion were being exchanged for the lives of most people fleeing.
He groaned for a while and said, "Little bastard, although you have only been here for a day, you are still on the boat." Now, our lives are tied together. I know you've lost your memory, I don't know what you used to do, and if there's anything you want to say, you'll have to say it. ”
Lu Hang looked at the and shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say. ”
The knew very well in his heart that the entire 67th Army was a rear army, covering the evacuation of Shanghai, simply put, by dawn, all the troops behind the palace would be dumplings by the devils. It's not that I nigger knows, the whole battalion knows that only the little bastard in front of him doesn't understand anything, and it's hard to say whether our cutting-edge battalion can survive tonight.
The seemed to have made up his mind, and called everyone over and gathered around, and said; "The little bastard is a new recruit, and several of us are veterans, and everyone knows in their hearts that the mission order given to us is to stick to it for three days."
Crooked mouth was the first to speak: "What can I do, Shoubei." ”
The little bullet slapped his mouth: "Can you hold it?" I just saw a dozen people in the second company fleeing to the west! ”
"How did you see that?" Several people looked at the small bullet in surprise.
"I just released my hands and saw that his second company commander caught up with a few people, but he didn't shoot or arrest, he just said, let's go!"
"Did the second company commander run away too?" Crooked asked.
"No, he let go of the dozen or so people and walked back to camp on his own!" Said the little bullet.
"Squad leader, you said we stayed, this enemy can surround us at night, and we all have to die at dawn!" Crooked mouth asked the squad leader.
The said, "If the devil's purpose is to go west, then they can ignore us and go directly west along the Huangpu River." What about us, there is no way to retreat from the west, the situation in the north is unknown, sooner or later we will be made dumplings, we can only break through in the end, which is equivalent to death! ”
"If the devil's goal is to go north, then their goal is the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, not us, they are in a hurry, so they have to beat us as fast as possible, or a dead end!"
Hearing this, he took a deep breath with his crooked mouth: "If that's the case, when it gets dawn, won't we be surrounded by devils?" Where is there a way out? ”
Lu Hang listened carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he didn't understand it too well, but he knew that he probably wouldn't live until dawn, so he asked nervously: "Squad leader, what do you say we should do?" ”
Lu Hang looked at the, crooked mouths and small bullets in a daze, and after only a few seconds, the other three people except Lu Hang said in unison: "Run!" Then they all looked at Lu Airlines.
Lu Hang saw that the three of them said to escape, shook the gun in his hand and said, "How to escape?" ”
Crooked his mouth and said, "Wait a little later, let's run west from here!" ”
Little Bullet said excitedly: "Let's go out and explore the way now!" ”
A few people nodded in agreement, don't look at the small bullets and dare not shoot, but others are still more clever.
The little bullet crawled outside, and the muttered as he watched the little bullet crawl away.
"It's not that I'm not patriotic, it's not that I'm cowardly and afraid of death, I don't want to be a deserter, I'm going to die here, if we run out, we come back to kill the devil, this is called staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood!"
This is a fallacy, but it is also a realistic reason to wait for death like this.
After a while, the little bullet crawled into the pit, and I was about to cry with nervousness.
"Ghost ...... The devils have surrounded us......" and cried as soon as he finished speaking.
The four of them were startled, and they all secretly climbed out of the pit and went outside, and saw nothing in the dark.
"Little bullet, why do you say that you are surrounded by this pitch black?" The asked at the little bullet with a crying face beside him.
"Where I saw a lot of tiny flashes of light in a dark grass, and when I got closer, they were all from the steel helmet worn by the devil, and I ran back in fright." The small bullet was pointed in a westerly direction.
A "snap" of a gunshot broke the silence of the night.
Lu Hang and the others were excited, and looked in the direction of this gunshot, which was quite far away, and it should have come from the east of the city. What's the situation? Sentinel warning? Or did it go off? While several people were still speculating, the follow-up gunshots finally kept coming.
The four people who had been observing from the edge of the pit entered the bunker together and said, "I heard that the location should be the second battalion in the east, it seems that it is in contact with the devil." Fuck, it's finally a fight, we don't seem to have found the devil yet,"
"Are the sentries dead?" Said crookedly.
All four of them retreated into bunkers in the pit, squatting in them. Lu Hang curled his legs, leaning on the damp soil with his back, feeling uncomfortable, held the gun in his arms.
The fire contact from the east brought the commander of the third battalion and the commanders of each company into a state of imminent combat. The commander of the first company arranged the defense area, and basically walked towards the various defensive positions, reminding the brothers to pay attention to vigilance, check for any mistakes, and prompt the anti-artillery. After all, he is a company commander who has fought for many years, and he must have this awareness.
The violent tremors and shells of the "boom" exploded around the company commander, and a large area of dust rolled up in the defense area of the third battalion. Followed by more and more shells covered.
Completely shrouded in flying dust, the four men buried their heads in their knees, only to feel the shocking sound of the soul-stirring cannon again and again.
The dirt and broken branches kicked off by the explosion were lifted into the sky, and they continued to fly to the periphery, and the pits of the four people were about to be buried.
Lu Hang was so frightened that the whole person was about to lie down on the ground, but he was dragged up by the and squatted according to his own appearance with his hand, don't lie down. You can't lie on the ground during the shelling, you can easily be shocked and your internal organs are not known, and you will still die after a few days, and you can't be treated.
Lu Hang was basically stupid by this scene, if it weren't for the fact that there were a few around him who screamed and reminded him from time to time, he might have collapsed a long time ago, and he just wanted to rush out of this cover and run far away, away from this hellish torment.
The shelling was over, and Lu Hang didn't know how long it was, and the blood in his heart rushed to his head in horror, his head seemed to be about to split in half, and his ears were buzzing.
The battle was fought first in the north, where there were woods and shrubs, and it was easiest to get close to the county seat of Songjiang. First there was the roar of mortars, then the sound of grenadiers and machine guns, and gradually the exchange of rifle fire.
Soon the flames of battle spread to the positions of the three battalions, and the tongues of fire of the devils and machine guns in ambush began to strafe the positions of the three battalions.
The tongue of fire of the machine gun finally stopped, but it rang out again in an instant, and instead swept back towards Lu Hang's side, the bullets were indiscriminately embedded in the surrounding weeds, popping, and several people retracted their bodies helplessly into the hole.
According to this method of play, soon the positions of the first battalion will be lost, mortar shells and grenades will be smashed down from time to time, the sound of gunfire in the east has stopped, the east has been lost, and there is no sound in the south, and now it seems that the position of the third battalion in the west is still dying.
After another explosion, the sound of machine guns on the front side of the position of the third battalion disappeared, and the commander of the third battalion shook off the dust on his head and looked in the direction of the machine gun, only to see that there was no one left, and the corpses on the ground were lying in a pool of blood.
The battalion commander rushed to the vicinity of the machine gun, picked up the machine gun and spat out a string of flames again, shooting at the devil. The devil crawled forward, gradually approaching the vicinity of the third battalion commander, a burst of bullets entered the body of the battalion commander, and the third battalion commander fell in a pool of blood without moving.
"The devil is coming, it's too late if we don't run back!" Crooked mouth shouted loudly.
Lu Hang also ran out of ideas for a while, this time it was really burning his eyebrows, the gun had just been empty, and he was pressing bullets into the chamber of the gun one by one.
"We can't sit here and wait to die, right? It's too late to run," the little bullet cried.
The waved his hand decisively: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go back to Songjiang County." Are you all ready? ”
In the night, four figures suddenly appeared from a pit in the bushes, and the cat ran quickly towards Songjiang County in the south.
As soon as he ran out of the pit, a figure fell, and the remaining three continued to run forward, Lu Hang followed closely behind the, and ran to a slope in a small house and lay down. The and Lu Hang looked back, and behind the pitch black, the crooked mouth and small bullets had disappeared.
The two of them climbed into a pit blown out by the bomb in a daze, not unable to run, and the entire devil camp in front of them blocked the way ahead. Lu Hang shivered, soaking wet, the wind of the Huangpu River was too cold, and his cold face turned purple. I wiped my dirty, wet palms on the placket.
Because the battle in Songjiang County in the south was over, a squadron of devils lit a bonfire in front of the two of them and repaired it in place.
Lu Hang and the observed to see if there was a chance for the two of them to slip over, but after watching it for more than ten minutes, it was disappointing, and if they wanted to break through, they couldn't get over it eight hundred times.
The suddenly realized, slapped his head suddenly, beckoned Lu Hang, and said, "I have a way to pass, don't rub it off, come with me......
