On June 17, the sun was shining brightly on the Hengshan Ridge, and the sound of gunfire shook the sky, and a trap of waiting for the rabbit triggered a rare encounter.

In the first battle of the hidden mountains, the aerial bombs carried by the 66th Flying Brigade had been used up, but even without aerial bombs, the majesty of the flying team still could not be provoked.

However, the defenders on the Hengshan Ridge did not leave them the slightest dignity!

"Lieutenant Koga's fighter plane crashed, and he was booby-trapped by the Shina people with a vicious trap!" Second Lieutenant Sakurai, who witnessed the entire battle, later wrote in his diary: "Never underestimate the air defense capabilities of the Shina people! Arrogance will only make you doomed! ”

Since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the impression of the Japanese invaders, the air defense capability of the national army has always been vulnerable.

However, this does not mean that the national army does not have air defense capabilities, as important cities have air-raid shelters and anti-aircraft guns, and elite units have imported Makqin anti-aircraft machine guns, and the 66 th Regiment is equipped with such anti-aircraft machine guns. What's more, a really good shooter can shoot off a plane with a rifle...... There is more than one such case.

Shoot off the plane with a rifle? Yes! Second Lieutenant Sakurai witnessed such a scene, and since then, he has never dared to despise those "earth rats"!

Li Siwei held his rifle and rushed to Hengshan Ridge.

Bullets flew everywhere on the Hengshan Ridge, screams were endless, four anti-aircraft machine guns were still roaring, dozens of rifles were also roaring, there was no threat of aerial bombs, and the defenders did not panic.

"Mmmm......mmmm

"Da Da Da ......"

The three enemy planes were constantly diving, strafing, circling, diving, strafing...... Bullets rained down!

More enemy planes circled higher in the sky, and the Hengshan Range was too small for them to squeeze into the battle group.

"Puff puff ......"

The splashed smoke and dust engulfed the entire Hengshan Ridge, and Li Siwei half-squatted in the smoke and dust, like a sculpture, staring at the moving plane with a spear, letting the machine gun bullets shoot and splash around him, he just stared at his target, watching it hover, dive, and strafe in the sky...... Suddenly, his fingers moved, and he gently pulled the trigger, "bang......" a rifle bullet roared out of the chamber, "bang......" he skillfully pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet to load, raised the muzzle, and pulled the trigger again, "bang......"

The first bullet pierced the void and shot to an altitude of 300 meters, "bang ......", and slammed into the glass of the cockpit, "......snapped", the glass cracked, the pilot was startled, his hand trembled slightly, and the plane continued to dive down.

The second bullet of "Bang ......" followed, the glass of "Bang ......" shattered, and the third bullet of "Bang ......" rushed through the empty lookout window and went straight to the pilot's face door, "Poof......" blood splashed, and the pilot's frightened expression froze on his face!

"Mmmm......mmmm

The out-of-control plane continued to dive down, swept across the mountains, rushed down diagonally, and crashed straight into the ground, with a loud "bang" and a "boom...... fireworks soaring into the sky.

Second Lieutenant Sakurai saw it clearly, and with a chill in his heart, he hurriedly pulled up, rushed into the air, and fled to the east.

"Boom ......"

There was another loud bang under the Hengshan Ridge, and a Type 97 fighter exploded to pieces before it could hit the ground.

"Mmmm......mmmm

As if they had just woken up from a dream, the pilots pulled up one after another, rushed into the sky, and fled to the sky...... It turned out that without aerial bombs, fighters no longer had an overwhelming advantage in the confrontation with ground forces!

"Mmmm......mmmm

The group of planes roared and disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a smoke-filled mountain range!

Zheng Sanyang and a group of recruits looked up at the smoky mountain, already dumbfounded...... How had they ever seen such a scene?!

On the top of the mountain, Li Siwei sat on the ground, his back was already drenched in cold sweat, and his ears were full of the screams of his brothers.

After a long time, Li Siwei struggled to get up, dragged his spear, staggered and rushed into the trench, hissing and yelling, "Quick, come and save the injured brother......

Li Siwei's roar resounded across the mountains, and the brothers under the hillside woke up like a dream, and rushed to the top of the mountain, "Save people!" Save ...... Quickly"

Wounded brothers lay in the trenches, some still screaming in pain, others silent.

"Ahem......"

Liao Heiniu struggled to push away the brother who fell on him, turned over and sat up, coughing violently, "Ahem......"

"Hei Niu," Li Siwei stumbled over and grabbed Liao Hei Niu's arm, "Where is the injury?" Where's the injury? ”

"Ahem......" Liao Heiniu pushed Li Siwei away, "Lao Tzu is fine, save the brothers......" said, he hurriedly picked up the brother who was pushed away by him, but the brother was already silent, his back tentacles were warm, Liao Heiniu was shocked, "Tie Han ......"

Li Tiehan is his name, but he is not an iron man after all, at the moment when the danger came, he chose to pounce on Liao Heiniu, and he chose to sacrifice himself!

"Dog Baby......

"Old Mo ......"

"Fifth Brother ......"

……

In the trenches, the shouts of grief came one after another, and Liao Heiniu trembled slightly...... All of this is because of his whimsical waiting!

After all, the little devil's plane is not a rabbit in a panic, and it will not hit the stump by itself!

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, the wounded brother was still wailing in pain, and the dead brother was no longer silent!

Liao Heiniu knelt on the ground, stunned.

"Black Bull!" Li Siwei gently tugged at his arm, and he understood the feeling, just like how he felt that time outside Pingyi City.

Liao Heiniu was stunned and didn't react, he was not a real brute bull after all, he would be annoyed, he would blame himself, and he would be sad...... If you don't poke that hornet's nest, why will the brothers die?

"Black Bull!" Li Siwei's voice sank, and he tugged Liao Heiniu's arm vigorously, "Get up for Lao Tzu!" ”

"Cannon......" Liao Heiniu raised his head and looked at Li Siwei directly, his eyes were red, and his eyes were moist, "Cannon...... They are all dead...... I hurt it. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Siwei glared at him, with a straight face, but his eyes were red, "They were all killed by little devils...... You get up for Lao Tzu, and the brothers are still waiting for you to avenge them! ”

"Cannon......" Liao Heiniu trembled, looked at Li Siwei, his lips trembled, "It's all my ......"

Li Siwei sighed secretly, tears rolling in his eyes, "You get up for Lao Tzu...... We must withdraw immediately...... Hurry up, do you want to kill more brothers? ”

"I ...... I ......" Liao Heiniu was shocked, struggled to get up, held Li Tiehan's body in his arms, and sat on the ground again.

Li Siwei hurriedly went to hug Li Tiehan's body, but Liao Heiniu shook his hand away, "I'll come...... I got it...... Lao Tzu can do it! ”

Li Siwei had to grab his shoulders and pull him up, but his heart was sour, how familiar this scene was...... Once, on the way to retreat from Shanghai, he held the body of Monk Tang; Once, outside Yicheng, Li Li Shaolong was holding Li Li Shaohu's body...... This scene will definitely not be the last. On the battlefield, there are always some brothers who are willing to block the bullets that come at them for others, and there are always some brothers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for others!

Liao Heiniu hugged Li Tiehan's corpse and stumbled in front, while Li Siwei followed cautiously on the side.

Five dead and twelve wounded, this is the price, shooting down three enemy planes, this is the result of the battle, but no one can be happy.

Armed with heavy weapons, the wounded and the bodies of their brothers, the crowd hurriedly evacuated Hengshan Ridge...... Hengshan Ridge has lost its value, and it can no longer be defended at the risk of being retaliated against by the little devil aviation!

At this moment, the military order has been forgotten.

As soon as I turned a hill, I saw Huang Hua coming in a hurry, "Qianshan City has been lost, and Senior Commander Yang asked us to retreat to Taihu Lake!" ”

"Oh," Li Siwei nodded indiscriminately, "Is the road detective ready?" ”

Huang Hua hurriedly replied: "Lu Tuan and the brothers of the third battalion opened the way in front, and Sun Dali led people to answer the ...... What are you ...... Got with the little devil again? ”

"Well," Li Siwei nodded, "I got on the plane with the little devil...... You lead the way, and the wounded brother and the baggage go first. ”

"Good!" Huang Hua nodded and went to the front team.

After turning over two more mountains, Li Siwei suddenly stopped and looked around, "Black Bull, it's here!" ”

Liao Heiniu was shocked, stopped, and looked back at Li Siwei, his eyes were red, "Here?" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "Let the brothers go to the ground!" Over here...... Feng Shui is good. ”

"Turtle's!" Liao Heiniu glared at him, tears flashed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was uglier than crying, "You gentleman Feng Shui!" ”

Li Siwei sighed secretly, his voice soft, "There are mountains and rivers here, and they are still pure, and the afterlife is ...... Brothers will never live in war again. ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned, slowly squatted down, put down Li Tiehan on his back, and looked around.

On the right is the mountain, on the left is the river, and under the sun, the vegetation is lush, windy, and sunny.

On the hillside, five earthen pits have been dug.

Liao Heiniu took off his shirt and leather shoes for Li Tiehan to change into, carried him into the pit, and put him down gently.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. ”

Li Siwei sang softly, his voice trembled slightly, and he seemed to be back on the lonely mountain.

"Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and have the same enmity with the son!"

Liao Heiniu closed softly, and tears had slipped silently...... He didn't know a few words, but he remembered the poem deeply, because he couldn't forget that scene, just as he will always remember today!

"Do you say you have no clothes? With the Son. ”

Zheng Sanyang also followed, he had read this poem a long time ago, but it was at this moment that he really understood it!

"Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd and work with my son!"

The brothers all joined in, most of them couldn't even read a word, but at this moment, a stream of heat surged in their hearts, and it spread throughout their bodies in an instant...... That's the brothers!

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers, and go with his son. ”

The song drifted in the mountain wind, sad and desolate.

Taihu Lake is located at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, less than 40 kilometers away from the buried mountain in the northeast.

When Li Siwei led his troops to Taihu Lake, it was already late at night, but fortunately, the three battalions that arrived first had already prepared their accommodation, and the brothers quickly settled down.

The temporary station of the 66th Regiment was in the fortifications on the first line of the archway.

The full moon and stars are obscured by dark clouds, and the night is as dark as ink, and the wind and rain are coming.

Li Siwei was lying in the air-raid shelter, but he couldn't sleep...... Will the endless battles be numbing? No, it just makes people feel deeply tired.

Li Siwei is not a brave and ruthless person, let alone a natural war maniac, but in this life, he happened to put on a military uniform and happened to encounter war...... He had to fight, he had to watch one brother after another die in front of him, he had to drag his tired body to continue fighting, and he had to inspire one brother after another to sacrifice for the mission of the soldiers!

Li Siwei got up gently, walked around the brothers lying around, and cautiously walked out of the cave.

In the fortifications, the fire was dim, and the tired brothers lay in the trenches, sleeping on the ground, snoring like thunder.

Li Siwei looked at them, his heart trembled gently, his steps became lighter and slower, he climbed the trench, found a sheltered hillside and sat down, felt out the crumpled cigarette, lit it gently, and the fireworks were clearly extinguished in the dark.

"Give me one," Liao Heiniu walked up to him at some point and sat down gently.

Li Siwei glanced at him, smiled wryly and shook his head, "The last one." As he spoke, he handed over the half-lit cigarette.

Liao Heiniu took the cigarette and inhaled it fiercely, desperately absorbing the heat of the fireworks, as if the heat could make him feel a trace of warmth.

"You're right," Li Siwei looked at him, his voice was very soft, but very firm, "Black Bull, you didn't do anything wrong!" ”

Liao Heiniu's hand shook, "But...... They're dead...... They could have returned to Taihu Lake in peace, just like us. ”

"You're not wrong." Li Siwei shook his head gently, "One day, you will figure it out...... Black bull, it's not us who is wrong, it's this damn war that's wrong. ”

Liao Heiniu was silent and smoked hard, but the cigarette had burned out.

"Black Bull," Li Siwei sighed leisurely, "Maybe one day, we will be like them, or even worse than them......"

Liao Heiniu trembled, he knew what Li Siwei meant...... They still have a place to bury, and some of their brothers, when they die, don't even have a person to collect their bodies.

"This is war," Li Siwei smiled, but his smile was full of bitterness, "War must have someone sacrificed...... It's not so much that I'm leading my brothers to fight the war, but that I'm leading them to death. ”

Liao Heiniu was silent.

Li Siwei will boost morale, and will make his brothers scream and fight with the little devils, Liao Heiniu is one of them, he understands what Li Siwei means.

"How could I ever be willing to do that?" Li Siwei asked softly, as if he was asking Liao Heiniu and himself.

Liao Heiniu was stunned and shook his head gently, "Cannon, no one will blame you, really...... Anyway, Lao Tzu followed you to fight hard, but he felt glorious in his heart. ”

Li Siwei nodded, "I know, but I will blame myself!" Just like what you think right now. ”

"Cannon......" Liao Heiniu understood.

Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder, "Go to sleep!" The battle isn't over yet. ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei got up gently and walked towards the trenches...... The war will not end until the war of resistance is won!
