Chapter 5: Killing the Enemy
There is no doubt about the brutality of war.
Those who have experienced war will never love war.
Xiao Mubai wouldn't think of these things now, because he was out of bullets.
Xiao Mubai searched left and right, but he didn't find it, and finally the bearded man handed him a box of bullets.
The bearded man grinned innocently, revealing two rows of big yellow teeth.
Xiao Mubai was full of gratitude to the beard. He taught himself to shoot and saved his own life, and he was his benefactor. Loading and pressing the gun, Xiao Mubai planned to kill more enemies to repay the beard.
It's that simple between comrades-in-arms, he saves you and helps you, he is your benefactor. You can never expect someone to block bullets for you, and it's not just someone else who blocks bullets for you who is a comrade-in-arms. Human nature is selfish, and it is very difficult to expect selfish people to be selfless. This is reality, real war, not a need made for propaganda.
It was almost filled with human lives, and after sacrificing more than 20 lives, the tanks of the three devils finally fell silent.
It's just that the devil did not retreat, but attacked even more frantically.
Shooting fiercely, almost every minute and every second, there are players who are injured or sacrificed. The wounded were rushed down, and then there were small-scale rotational battles.
Xiao Mubai found that his hit rate was getting better and better, and the next few shots almost hit the guns, and Japanese soldiers continued to fall under Xiao Mubai's guns. Xiao Mubai is glad that he has the talent of a warrior, and the ultimate goal is to survive here and kill more enemies.
The purpose of war is to preserve oneself and destroy the enemy. Xiao Mubai realized the profound meaning of this sentence for the first time.
It's just that Xiao Mubai's good luck will come to an end soon.
The soldiers fell continuously, and the Japanese soldier Cao had noticed Xiao Mubai's abnormal position, and quickly gave an order, and the grenadier was aimed accurately.
The gunshots were chaotic, Xiao Mubai couldn't hear the sound of the grenadier "empty" at all, and everyone didn't notice it.
Xiao Mubai was aiming at a ghost soldier who was about to throw a grenade, and if he hit this devil, the grenade in his hand would fall down and explode on the spot, and then he would accidentally injure his nearby colleagues.
Xiao Mubai aimed, then pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out.
Before Xiao Mubai could check the results, he was overturned by a wave of qi and fell under the sandbag. All his internal organs hurt, Xiao Mubai felt a burst of anger, looked up at the sky, and thought that he was going to die after being shot.
Just when Xiao Mubai was staring at the sky in a daze, thinking that he was going to die, he was suddenly kicked.
Xiao Mubai turned his head and saw the squad leader's black face, and suddenly he was excited, and when he sat up, he found that it was just a bruise on his left arm and a little blood.
It's good that you didn't die.
Xiao Mubai didn't have time to sigh, found the hat that fell on the ground, patted off the dust, and put it on his head again. Picking up the gun and checking that it was not damaged, Xiao Mubai pulled the bolt of the gun, looking for the enemy who almost killed him just now.
At this time, where could Xiao Mubai find it, so he had to vent his anger on the other devil soldiers, but fortunately found Jun Cao poking his head out behind the tank.
Xiao Mubai aimed at him, and then pulled the trigger. No sound could be heard in the chaos of the gunshot, but Xiao Mubai still saw the bullet piercing through Jun Cao's head, and the corpse fluttered to the ground.
"Good!"
Xiao Mubai felt a pain in his right shoulder, turned his head and saw that the big man with a black face actually showed a smile and patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Mubai bared his teeth, revealing his white teeth, but he was scolding in his heart: Okay now, just now I scolded my mother angrily, maybe I will shoot me in the back if I want to escape with my front foot.
As soon as the Japanese soldier Cao died, his soldiers were a little flustered, and the attack was obviously sluggish, and there was a short gap. Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers of the 19th Route Army launched a large-scale counterattack and raised their guns to shoot, suppressing the enemy's firepower to a certain extent.
The enemy sought cover and took refuge, and this is when the shelling was at its best. It's a pity that there was no artillery support, only the bearded man stuffed a few grenades into him.
Xiao Mubai put down the gun, and learned from him to pull the fuse, aim at the target and throw it out.
The force and direction were not well controlled, and the grenade flew to the edge, only scratching a devil. Taking advantage of the dense formation of the devil soldiers, Xiao Mubai continued to drop bombs, although the accuracy was not high, but it still caused some casualties.
The continuous attack was blocked, and the Japanese army lost all their strength, and finally gathered up the corpses and temporarily retreated.
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Xiao Mubai's nose was pantothenic, and he suddenly remembered his mother who was far away in Hangzhou: "Mom? I miss you, are you okay? ”
No one jumped in glee, except for the recruits. The veterans silently packed up their guns and ammunition to prepare for the next battle, not sad or happy. They have become numb, and numbness is the best weapon.
After a lot of experience, the new recruit will also become a veteran. No one can stay where he is forever unless he dies, but even then, time will turn his body into dust and disappear into heaven and earth.
Veterans never die.
This blockade lasted for a long time, and it was not until the end that Xiao Mubai's company was replaced.
At this time, in this position, the battle losses of the whole company had reached a quarter. Everyone tried to retreat, but no one retreated, because all those who retreated without permission were killed on the spot by the Warlords. The military order is like a mountain, and they have to hold on here. If it weren't for the military order, and those oceans of military salaries, who would want to come here to die. In the face of the threat of death, everyone is a coward, and not everyone has the courage to face death. The bravest warriors are only more courageous than fearful.
This wave of attacks ended, and the Japanese army once again collapsed and sank into the sand.
Xiao Mubai took a look, our strength was far several times that of the Japanese side, but the density of firepower was comparable. Obviously, the Japanese had much more light and heavy machine guns, while our company had only a few of them. There are also Japanese soldiers with high shooting accuracy and high tactical literacy. However, our shooting accuracy is not as good as that of our tactical literacy, and the recruits who have just been replenished have no combat effectiveness, and the biggest advantage is that the strength is sufficient. But in urban street fighting, the superiority of forces is limited by life, and cannot be unfolded as in the field. In other words, it is only possible to use the tactic of refueling, constantly changing companies and taking turns to fight.
It's just that the Japanese attack was frustrated and soon increased its troops, and where are our reinforcements, the Fifth Army.
Tired and hungry, Xiao Mubai was really about to collapse.
On the way to change guards, soldiers carried corpses of different shapes. In this regard, Xiao Mubai has been able to deal with it calmly, although he can't change his face, but it is still much better than in the morning.
As of now, Xiao Mubai has sacrificed many people on the entire Baoshan Road, and there is an endless stream of soldiers carrying corpses. Even, they formed the same queue as Xiao Mubai.
There are also those who carry weapons and ammunition, build fortifications, and of course, the onlookers are indispensable, and the young and enthusiastic students.
Xiao Mubai and they were treated as heroes, but they were completely different from the image of heroes in the minds of students.
His clothes were covered with blood and dust, and he was like a beggar. There were also soldiers with gauze wrapped around their foreheads, gauze wrapped around their arms, walking with broken arms, broken legs on stretchers, and soldiers who were blown up to the point of blurred flesh and blood, beaten beyond recognition, demoralized, silent, all sorts of living and dead soldiers.
It's not what you imagined.
Xiao Mubai saw the strangeness in their eyes, and suddenly understood what the role of the honor guard of the three services was and why the honor guard of the three services existed. Obviously, a guard of honor that is majestic and heroic, a guard of honor that inspires the people, is a must.
War is not so bright and majestic, unlike knightly duels, and the victorious are not heroes. They are simply more cruel than the enemy, killing them with more ruthless means until they surrender.
War is not a dinner party, nor is it a drink or a poem, and it is not so elegant. Some are just violent, extreme violence. Destruction, extreme destruction. Killing, extreme killing.
Whether it is a just war or a criminal war, as long as the war begins, its means are sinful, and it ends in sin. The ass determines the position, and the justice you believe in is not necessarily justice in the eyes of others.
Only those who have really experienced war know what real war is, and all other people see only cold numbers and whitewashed justice and fairness by the rulers. Only we feel cruelty, but we have to be cruel, we have no choice, and this is the true meaning of war.
Once upon a time, Xiao Mubai once fantasized about joining the army with honor. It's just that I can't apply because my eyesight is not up to standard. At that time, he was just like the student just now, full of fantasy and unreality.
It's just that all this that happened today changed his mind.
Perhaps, the honor guard of the three armed services should pass through here and be reviewed by the people.
It is clear that the soldiers who fought bloodily are not fit to appear here.
Back at the temporary station, the meal was white rice and risotto.
Today's food was obviously much richer, and the soldiers were elated, so they were a little angry. The recruits couldn't eat, and as soon as they saw the red and white food, they vomited, so much so that they couldn't even vomit sour water.
Xiao Mubai is also one of them, although he doesn't want to eat, he still eats a little bit. Because if you don't eat, you won't have the strength, and your body will have no energy, otherwise you won't have the strength to fight, and you will be killed by the enemy.
