Tangshan Highway leads directly to Xiaolingwei, the distance is only more than ten miles, Xiaolingwei is the Zhongshan Gate and Guanghua Gate of Nanjing City, therefore, Tangshan has always been regarded as the east gate of Nanjing, has always been a military town.

Long before the outbreak of the full-scale Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist army built a large number of fortifications outside Nanjing, and the fortifications around Tangshan were the top priority. When the Nationalist army retreated from the Shanghai battlefield, the engineer company of the teaching corps built field fortifications at the front end of Tangshan Town.

The front-line positions in the north and south of Tangshan, Tangshan Town in the north and Tangshui Town in the south, the defense area of the 26th Division is in Tangshan Town.

When the 26th Division rushed to the position, Li Siwei was also amazed by the fortifications in front of him. I saw that the bunkers in front of me were dotted with horns, and the trenches crisscrossed each other, communicating with each other......

Everyone also nodded secretly, and Liao Heiniu smiled proudly: "This is much more comfortable than those fortifications in Shanghai, as long as the little devils dare to come, the old men will beat their turtles and pee......"

Li Siwei glanced at him, frowned, and said: "The little devils are not stupid, I'm afraid that they have already reconnoitred the terrain, and when the time comes, they only need to outflank them, and these fortifications will become decorations......"

The line of defense is dead, the soldiers are alive...... Li Siwei naturally knew about the Maginot Line in France, and the Germans had bypassed the world-famous line of defense during World War II and turned it into an ornament.

Liao Heiniu was stunned, "The little devil is really so cunning?" ”

The yellow cat smiled: "What do you care about so much?" If you say you'll beat us, we'll fight you......"

Li Siwei nodded and smiled at everyone: "The cat is right, it says that we just have to fight hard......"

On the other side, Division Commander Liu was also inspecting the position with several officers. Suddenly, he sighed leisurely, "Brothers, this task is very difficult...... On the surface, the headquarters dispatched three or four corps to defend the north and south lines of Tangshan, but how many troops could there be? ”

"Yes," the fat regiment commander also frowned, and said, "The 74th Army, the 66th Army, and the 83rd Army are all like us, they were crippled in Shanghai, and there is no source of troops to replenish, so it is said to be an army, but in fact it is only a full regiment...... Three or four armies will not exceed 20,000 men. ”

Everyone nodded their heads and looked solemn.

"So, we can't wait for the little devil to send it to the door," Senior Commander Liu suddenly looked at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Fan Pengju." “

"Here," the fat head saluted.

Commander Liu ordered loudly: "Lead the 154th Regiment to cruise through the villages and communication arteries within two kilometers of the position to block the invading enemy...... If you encounter a large attack from the enemy, immediately retreat and rely on fortifications for defense. ”

"Yes," the fat regiment leader commanded.

The headquarters of the 26th Division and its battalions remained in their positions, and the 154th Regiment was stationed in various villages and communication arteries as platoons to carry out vigilance and patrols.

Nanjing has been a prosperous and prosperous place since ancient times, with many large and small villages nearby, and wide and narrow roads crisscrossing it...... The 154th Regiment already had less than 1,000 men, and this dispersal would be like a drop in the bucket, and whether or not it could complete the task depended entirely on the cooperation of the various companies and platoons.

Li Siwei took the brothers in the platoon all the way to the northeast, passing through two villages all the way, not to mention the little devils, and even the shadow of the old man was not seen.

In the evening, everyone came to a small village again, Li Siwei waved his hand, and led Liao Heiniu and the soldiers of the second squad to slowly enter the village from the south road, and Huang Mao'er and Chen Dashan each took a squad to quickly outflank the past from the east and west.

Not surprisingly, this is another empty village, and before the little devil arrived, the villagers fled again, so they left forty or fifty empty houses, and the village was dead silent.

The crowd soon converged in the north of the village.

Liao Heiniu sat down on a big bluestone and scolded angrily: "The little devils of the turtle son, one by one, are so frightened that they don't even dare to show their faces after looking for an afternoon......

The yellow cat sat down next to him and said with a smile: "Black Bull, it's good if the little devil doesn't come, and the brothers can sleep peacefully at night." ”

"Sleep with a hammer?" Liao Heiniu scolded with a smile, "The little devil is so cunning and cunning, it's strange if he doesn't come to do a sneak attack at night!" ”

The yellow cat glanced at him and said with a grin, "You know they will come, so why are you in a hurry?" Wait with peace of mind. ”

Liao Heiniu glared at him, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu likes to be crisp, and wait for people ......to be anxious."

"Hehe," Chen Dashan said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, we and the little devil are like touching the night screws in this battle, it depends on which one has patience, and only if you have patience can you give the other party a set and an ambush." ”

Li Siwei nodded and said with a smile: "Dashan is right, this time it is mutual infiltration, unlike positional warfare, what you fight is patience...... In this way, Mao'er took one class to the west of the village and Dashan took the third class to the east of the village, and we spent the night in this village. ”

"You have to get it," everyone nodded and arranged.

At this time, night fell, the twilight of the cold winter evening was heavy, and the night wind was gusting, and these Sichuan babies wearing straw sandals and single clothes were naturally uncomfortably frozen, and they could spend the night in the village, at least they could hide in the empty houses to avoid the cold.

That night, a thick fog fell down Tangshan, and it became colder and colder.

Liao Heiniu volunteered to take his two brothers to the sentry, Li Siwei and the others huddled in a large room and lit a fire, and everyone chatted all over the world.

Ideals are too extravagant for them, they are just soldiers who have to fight for their lives all the time; The future is too heavy for them, they are just past the soldiers who have no tomorrow today, maybe they will die on the battlefield one day, maybe they will lose arms and legs one day...... So, all they can talk about is women.

"Hehe," a lean young man took out a handkerchief from his arms, carefully spread it out, and covered it with a photo, showing off to everyone, "Lao Tzu let you see what a beautiful daughter is......

Li Siwei smiled slightly, he knew that this soldier's name was Lu Erdan, he was nineteen years old this year, this was a very cheerful young man, he always liked to hum a little tune out of tune on weekdays, and he was happy.

Everyone excitedly took the photo and passed it on, in a ragtag unit like the 26th Division, it is difficult to see even a woman on weekdays, let alone a beautiful woman, and everyone didn't look at it and laughed.

Someone laughed and said, "Erdan, which one is this?" ”

Lu Erdan smiled proudly, "Which one?" Of course, it's Lao Tzu's mother-in-law. ”

"Hey, what kind of blessing did you create in your last life?" Someone praised.

Some people sighed: "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity, a good flower is inserted into cow dung." ”

Lu Erdan didn't care, and smiled proudly: "What do you know?" Isn't it necessary for flowers to bloom more beautifully when they are inserted in cow dung? ”

The crowd laughed.

Someone handed the photo to Li Siwei and said with a smile: "Platoon leader, look at it, this kid is really blessed, looking for such a beautiful mother-in-law." ”

Li Siwei took the photo and looked at it carefully for a while, and he already knew in his heart that the photo had obviously been stained with mud and had not been wiped clean...... If this photo is really Erba's, how can he be stained with mud if it is so well preserved?

But the woman was indeed very beautiful, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a school uniform, two small braids, a melon seed face, eyebrows like Yuandai, eyes like pearls, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the lips were plump...... She is smiling at the camera, revealing two shallow pear vortices.

"Platoon commander, what's the matter?" Lu Erdan looked at Li Siwei with a smile, his face full of anticipation.

Li Siwei smiled at him and praised: "Well, it's really beautiful, she looks like a fairy daughter, and the second egg is blessed and capable." With that, she gave him back the picture.

Lu Erdan took the photo, his face was full of pride, he turned his head and bragged to everyone again, it was nothing more than how he met this girl and how he chased her...... Everyone listened with relish, and they would ask a few words and praise a few words very cooperatively.

Li Siwei listened quietly with a smile on his face...... What young man doesn't have a romantic dream? It's just that these young people on the battlefield don't have the opportunity to chase this dream, so they are making it up here, and the people who make it up are full of loopholes, but the people who listen to it are fascinated! This is the life of a warrior!

Unconsciously, Li Siwei fell asleep against the corner, and in the dream he met Qin Mengyao again, and suddenly Qin Mengyao became Hao Mengyao again...... "bang", suddenly, a crisp gunshot shattered his dream.

Li Siwei sat up suddenly, opened his eyes and found that the corners of his eyes were sticky, and they were full of half-dried tears...... "bang", and there was another gunshot, Li Siwei wiped his face indiscriminately, shouted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack......" and ran out of the room.

Outside, the fog was thick and the cold was pressing, Li Siwei shivered excitedly, pulled out his legs and ran outside the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, the shadows flickered in the hazy fog, and I don't know how many enemies there were, only to see the figures of the people, entangled together, and the gold and iron resonated!

Li Siwei hurriedly rushed over and smashed into the back of the head of a devil, who was entangled with Liao Heiniu, was smashed to the ground by Li Siwei with the butt of a gun, and was stabbed by Liao Heiniu with a knife!

"How many are there?" Li Siwei hurriedly asked.

"I don't know," Liao Heiniu shouted, "the turtle son can still speak Chinese, and he was almost blind......ed by them," he said, swinging his bayonet and pounced on the next opponent.

At this time, a team of soldiers ran out of the courtyard, and those little devils saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly roared, turned around and fled, Li Siwei and Liao Heiniu led people to chase after them until they reached the outside of the village...... The little devil left a few more corpses, and only one jumped into the stream outside the village and ran.

Liao Heiniu wanted to chase after him, but Li Siwei grabbed him, "Don't chase, it's important to report the news." ”

Liao Heiniu stomped his feet hatefully and followed Li Siwei back to the village.

At this time, Huang Mao'er and Chen Dashan's people also came over, and Li Siwei hurriedly shouted: "Mao'er, you take your two brothers to report the news." ”

"Yes," the yellow cat agreed, and led the people away.

Li Siwei asked again: "Is anyone hurt?" ”

"The second egg can't do it," a voice cried.

Li Siwei followed the sound and walked over, and saw two soldiers gathered together, one soldier squatting on the ground and holding Lu Erdan's stomach with both hands.

Li Siwei hurriedly squatted down, only then did he see clearly that there was a knife wound more than a foot long on Lu Erdan's stomach, and the warrior covered the wound vigorously to prevent his intestines from flowing out, and a pair of big hands were dyed blood-red, but the intestines were still squeezed out of the wound......

"Platoon...... Platoon commander," the soldier cried, "Erdan's intestines are broken, and Lao Tzu can't hold it......"

Li Siwei's heart trembled, and he shouted: "Hei Niu, you take the two brothers and send the second egg back to the position......

"No...... No need...... Lu Erdan opened his eyes and struggled to say, "Platoon...... Platoon leader...... Give me...... Give me a ...... Pleasure ......"

Li Siwei's eyes were sour, and he roared in a trembling voice: "Liao Heiniu ......"

"It's useless," Liao Heiniu roared, "It's not curable, you're going to make him suffer a living crime......"

Everyone was silent, the 26th Division did not even have a field hospital, and it was still waiting for death when it was sent back......

"Kill...... Finish...... I ......" Lu Erdan opened his mouth hard, but the faint voice hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

Li Siwei suddenly pulled out his pistol, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Liao Heiniu stepped forward, snatched his pistol, squatted in front of Lu Erdan, put the gun against his head, and whispered: "Brother, walk slowly......"

Everyone turned their heads sideways, "bang", gunshots rang out, and some people cried out loud!

After Liao Heiniu finished shooting, he silently picked up Lu Erdan's body and walked out of the town......

Li Siwei hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Who is going to help him......"

One of the warriors ran back into the courtyard and followed him with a hoe, and two more followed him with a moment's hesitation.

In the thick fog, everyone was silent.

Li Siwei took a deep breath and ordered, "Chen Dashan, take your brothers to find cover and prepare for battle...... Come and follow me to the front to see what is going on. ”

After Li Siwei finished speaking, he turned around and left, Chen Dashan hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "Platoon commander, there is no way to do this......"

Li Siwei was shocked, looked back at him, and smiled slightly, "Lao Tzu knows that maybe one day, Lao Tzu will be like the second egg......"

More than ten miles away, a group of Japanese troops slowly moved south. In the middle of the team, three cars rushed together, and in the second car, a young Shao Zuo was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, silent and cold.

The middle-aged driver of the car looked intently ahead, carefully pulling the steering wheel, and in such a dense fog, it was difficult to clear the road five meters away even with the headlights on.

"Ueno," Shaozo said slowly, with a sneering smile, "Are you afraid?" Do you always feel that there are enemies everywhere in the fog? Are they eyeing each other? ”

The driver's hand shook and he didn't dare to respond, but cold sweat was already pouring out of his forehead.

"Don't be afraid," Shao Zuo smiled coldly, "Cowardly Zhina...... Sooner or later, this fertile land will become the home of the Yamato nation. ”

"Hey." The driver nodded hurriedly, but his voice trembled a little. Unlike these fanatical young soldiers, he was just a driver who took up arms.

Shao Zuo stretched his waist and said with excitement on his face: "Miyamoto Wing will definitely be the first force to attack Nanjing City......

"Hey," the driver nodded hurriedly, but his heart was full of apprehension, if the army of the people of China was really so vulnerable, how could there be so many deaths on the battlefield of Songhu? The mountains of corpses and the simple birch tomb plaques have always lingered in his mind...... He thought that sooner or later he would die on this land.
