After a short rest, wiping the blood stains on his face with a broken handkerchief, Zhao Shixun picked up his rifle and put it on his back, and walked towards the side of the trench with his waist bent.

The devil has been defeated, and Zhao Shixun is looking for the officer who will lead the reinforcement to see what else he can do.

At this time, both the surviving and the soldiers who rushed to reinforce seemed to be like old men who had exhausted their last shred of vitality, huddled in the trench like sculptures with guns in their arms, motionless.

If you don't look carefully, Zhao Shixun can't even tell which ones are dead and those that are still panting.

"Oops......! The ...... of the turtle son. ”

The feet were soft, and a curse suddenly came out of the word "corpse" on the ground.

Finding that he had stepped on someone, Zhao Shixun hurriedly leaned over to take a look and found that he was actually old and immortal.

"How old and immortal. You okay? ”

Leaning over and squatting, Zhao Shixun patted the old immortal's back.

"Sir...... I can't do it, I'll be shot in the head."

Hearing this, he gently took off the old immortal's blood-stained military hat, and Zhao Shixun took a look at the other party's injuries.

"It's nothing, the bullet just grazed the scalp, and it won't die. Come, and I will help you up. ”

With a slight force, Zhao Shixun pulled the old man up.

"Sir, thank you, ......."

Nodding, Zhao Shixun continued to walk forward.

Not long after, following the guidance of several soldiers, Zhao Shixun came to a group of soldiers.

In the small annular bunker, five or six soldiers sat scattered around and stood guard, and in the middle of the clearing, a wounded officer lay on the ground, his head resting on the lap of a soldier.

Zhao Shixun walked over lightly and knelt down to look at the injured officer.

"Brother, are you the commander? I am the original commander on this mountain, Zhao Shixun, the commander of the third company of the guard. ”

Hearing the voice, the injured officer opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Zhao Shixun weakly.

"I'm ...... I can't do it...... brethren...... and I will leave it to you, brethren. These are the ones in each row...... Waving the official. ”

The officer's right hand was raised slightly, and it quickly fell weakly. As he spoke, as his chest rose and fell, blood gushed out from the officer's heart, which was pressed with gauze by the soldiers. The military uniform on his chest had already been dyed red.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun looked back and found that there were three officers sitting on the ground behind him and nodding to him.

"How's the situation down the hill? How is the military department now? ”

As the commander of the third company of General Tang's former guard battalion, although he knew that the other party's time was short, Zhao Shixun couldn't help but ask.

"The military headquarters was shelled...... General Tang was fine, ...... and scattered to break through at night...... The military department asked you to ....... ”

"What about us? What order did the military department give us? ”

Gently shaking the other party a few times, looking at the officer who had closed his eyes, Zhao Shixun sat helplessly on the ground.

Never mind...... It's the same with asking.

Zhao Shixun knew in his heart that since the military department decided to break through, it meant that the expected reinforcements were no longer possible. And the nameless hill, which is the only commanding height here, will definitely serve as the main fire support for the containment and the rear of the palace. Because once the hill is lost, after the devils occupy this place, they can suppress and strafe all targets within 500 meters of the mountain. In that case, no one will be able to escape!

Looking up at the darkening sky, Zhao Shixun sighed deeply. Perhaps, next year today will be my own death day. But who remembers?

Hehe......

"Sir! Are you Cho Se-hoon Company Commander? ”

A hoarse voice rang in my ears.

Looking back, Zhao Shixun found that a middle-aged officer in his thirties was looking at him, looking at the other party's collar badge, and Zhao Shixun found that the other party was actually a lieutenant.

"Sir, my name is Nie Yunshan. It turned out to be the 112th regiment, and now it is a platoon leader of this reinforcement.

These two are the second platoon commander Zhang and the third platoon leader Lu. We have come to reinforce you on the orders of the military headquarters. On the ground, this was the deputy company commander of our improvised reinforced company. There is no need to introduce ...... now. ”

"Okay, thank you for the reinforcements."

"Sir, I don't think the devils will let us live in peace for long, I heard that we were the last to break out, right?"

After taking a deep look at Nie Yunshan, Zhao Shixun picked up a steel helmet on the ground and gently covered the face of the dead deputy company commander.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Each platoon enters the main position, starting with one platoon, fills the gap in the defensive line from east to west, distributes all ammunition and rests in place on standby."

"Yes!"

After a simple assignment and a hand rubbing his stiff face, Zhao Shixun dragged his tired body back to the middle of the forward position.

The pace of return was slow, because the mud under the footsteps had become muddy, the result of the blood of the Chinese soldiers.

At the moment of collapse, no one paid attention to whether the wounded needed medical attention. Everyone just dragged the wounded aside from the dead bodies, and as for life and death, they had to resign themselves to fate.

Walking to the side of the old immortal, Zhao Shixun sat down. Reaching out and fumbling through his jacket pocket, he pulled out a cigarette case. When I opened it, I found that it was empty.

Thrown aside, Zhao Shixun leaned weakly in the cold trench. Look up at the morning star hanging in the sky in the distance.

……

I vaguely remember when I was a child, from the beginning of my memory, the first mythical story I heard from my grandmother was about the morning star, in my grandmother's mouth, it was called Taibai Xing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun smiled slightly. He pulled out an old photograph of his mother and grandmother ...... from his bosom.

"Sir, why don't the devils attack."

Wang Mancang, who was wrapped in bandages on his head, came up and asked in a low voice.

"The devil is waiting for supplies."

"Supplies? Is it eaten? I heard that sir, you went to school in the Toyo, is the Toyo rice delicious? ”

Wang Mancang licked his chapped lips and asked excitedly.

"Probably not, I've eaten Oriental rice, it's very unpalatable. It's not as delicious as our wotou pickles. ”

Smiling slightly, Zhao Shixun disgusted the devil by the way.

"Oh......, I said, this little devil is like a dwarf winter melon one by one, seeing that we are robbing everything, it turns out that we eat so miserably every day."

"Turtle son, you foodie knows how to eat! The devil didn't have any shells, and in the afternoon I fought two battles with the Seventh Division and us, and there was not much ammunition. The devil's attack hand cannon didn't go off just now! You turtle son didn't hear Mo. ”

"Old immortal thing! I didn't ask you again! You're fucking underwhelmed, aren't you? ”

Looking at Wang Mancang, who was glaring at him with his fist raised, the old immortal waved his hand gently.

"Turtle son, you kid save some effort and keep it for fighting devils......

Hearing the words of the old immortal, Zhao Shixun looked at the veteran who was paralyzed on the ground and resting in surprise.

"Old immortal, how many years have you been a soldier, why does everyone call you that?"

"How many years have I ......, Lao Tzu doesn't remember, anyway, Lao Tzu was a soldier during the Central Plains War, and there were more than a dozen commanders who had changed.

As for the name, I've been through hundreds of old things. I don't know what everyone calls it that. After a long time, Lao Tzu will get used to it. ”

"Listen to the accent, are you from Sichuan? How did you run to the Third Army. ”

"Hehe, the old thing, I went out of Sichuan with the army when I fought in Songhu, and the original old army ......, don't talk about it."

When the words came to his lips, the old immortal's eyes suddenly darkened, and he fell silent.

Seeing that the old immortal didn't want to say more, Zhao Shixun didn't ask more. The Sichuan army has been fighting very fiercely since it left Sichuan, and Zhao Shixun has already heard of it.

Looking at the silent old immortal, Zhao Shixun's thoughts flew, and he suddenly thought of the Taiyuan Defense Battle a few years ago.

At that time, with a group of good brothers from the Northeast Army, he only wanted to kill the enemy and serve the country. In and outside the city, he fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for more than ten days. watched more than a thousand of his brothers die one by one.

I thought that the blood and sacrifice of my brothers could contribute to the defense of Taiyuan, and let everyone know that the Northeast Army is not a bad race.

But in the end, I stupidly found out that the official had already run away .......

When he took the only remaining dozens of brothers to kill out of Taiyuan City, which had become a half-ruin, he finally broke out of the blockade of the devils and came to the rear. was arrested as a typical example of running away in fear!

has no power or power, and he is from the Northeast Army, which can be described as indefensible.

If it weren't for General Tang, who happened to be passing by, Aicai saved his life. At this time, he has already become a ghost under the gun of the Judge Advocate General's Department for the crime of dereliction of duty!

"Old immortal, do you think that if we break through at night, we can rush out in that direction?"

I don't know why, Zhao Shixun suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question that never needs to be considered for old immortality.

As for why he asked, Zhao Shixun couldn't say clearly for a while, maybe it was because he heard the old immortal say that he was "experienced in a hundred battles".

"Breakout! The turtle son's early failure to break through made the devil surround an iron bucket and break through a fart! Now the devil has no way to attack, half of the reason is that he is not encircled! ”

"At night, the devils have enough ammunition and are surrounded on all sides, what else do they want to break through? The turtle son's collision with the muzzle of the gun is death! ”

"Old immortal thing, what do you know? Breaking through before it gets dark this day, isn't it delivering food to the devil! I think you're crazy hungry! ”

When Wang Mancang heard this, he turned his head and glared at the old immortal, and said unremittingly.

"You foodie knows a fart, turtle son."

"Sir! We're not really going to break out at night, are we? ”

The old immortal slowly straightened up while holding on to the ground, looked at Zhao Shixun and asked.

"Well, reinforcements have been delayed, and the above has decided to break through at night."

Zhao Shixun took a deep look at the old immortal, leaned on the trench and said weakly.

"It's over...... turtle son's. The old immortal is in a catastrophe today...... ”

The veteran, who had just straightened up, instantly collapsed to the ground as if his last strength had been exhausted.
