Chapter 52: Northeast Army
Xu Rui and Hei Qi were resting and eating in the dense forest. [Full text reading]
After chewing a few biscuits, Xu Rui took out the map from his satchel, but after looking at the map for a long time, he couldn't determine the specific location now, it was all messy, and he didn't know where it was.
Hei Qi asked Xu Rui heartlessly: "Yingzuo, what do you say that the old devil of Matsui Shigen would be angry if he knew that the little devil had lost our ** camp?"
Although the loss of his comrades is painful, he can't tolerate Hei Qi's feelings at the moment.
Nostalgia is a luxury for soldiers who are always on the verge of life and death.
"I don't know." Xu Rui replied casually, "Why don't you catch the old devil and ask him again"
"Okay." Hei Qi immediately came to his senses and said, "Yingzuo, or I'll go to Shanghai."
"You really want to think about it" Xu Rui slapped Hei Qi on the back of the head and scolded, "Hurry up and eat yours, leave quickly after eating, and find the troops." ”
"What's the hurry?" Hei Qi muttered, "The little devil won't catch up so quickly." ”
However, as soon as Hei Qi's words fell, a gunshot suddenly sounded from the depths of the dense forest ahead.
"Devil" Hei Qi turned over and sat up, grabbed the German-made 36 Schmeiser submachine gun at his feet for the first time, and clicked the bolt open.
Xu Rui waved his hand at Hei Qi, and then listened attentively.
Xu Rui said while listening: "There are three devils, no, it's five, there are two more than a little farther behind, they are chasing a person, that person has heavy steps, not like an Orion"
Hei Qi was dumbfounded and said, "Yingzuo, you can hear this"
"It's our people, let's go" Xu Rui ignored Hei Qi, grabbed the three or eight big covers resting at his feet, and rushed out like a cheetah that had found its prey.
Dividing line
He Shuya curled his body tightly into a ball, but he still couldn't stop the cold wind that was swishing into his arms.
Seeing that He Shuya was shivering from the cold, the company commander took off the torn sheepskin jacket on his body and handed it to He Shuya.
"Company commander, what about you" He Shuya noticed that after the company commander took off his torn sheepskin jacket, there was a thin single coat underneath.
In He Shuya's memory, since they entered the customs, they have never been issued cotton military uniforms, and the torn sheepskin jacket on the company commander was donated by students when he was in Xi'an.
"I'm fine, the company commander is in good health."
The company commander tapped his strong chest and handed the broken sheep over again.
He Shuya no longer refused, because he was really frozen, and immediately took the torn sheepskin jacket and draped it on himself, and finally felt warmer, but his stomach screamed uncontrollably.
The company commander sighed and said, "Bear with me, bear with me, the old camels have been out for a while, and they should come back when they come back, and they will have something to eat when they come back." ”
He Shuya was more concerned about another question, and asked, "Company commander, when will we return to the building?"
Hearing He Shuya's words, more than a dozen remnants of soldiers who were sitting or lying around also looked over.
"Returning to construction" even the old man shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't know where the troops had gone and how they had returned to construction
Speaking of which, they really lost the battle of Songhu, and several full-fledged divisions of the Northeast Army who were engaged in the battle were beaten to pieces by small Japan in less than three days, and then the army was defeated like a mountain, and fled all the way, fleeing here, and the main force of the division did not know where to go, so he took the remaining dozen remnants of the whole company and hid in the mountains.
He Shuya's eyes showed a blank look, and he asked the company commander again: "Company commander, do you think we can still fight back to the three eastern provinces?"
Hearing He Shuya mention his hometown, the faces of the dozen or so remnants around him invariably showed gloomy colors.
I remember that before leaving my hometown, the regiment commander repeatedly promised them that they would return to the three eastern provinces within a year.
But now, six years have passed, they have retreated from the northeast to North China, from North China to northern Shaanxi, and from northern Shaanxi to Songhu, the brothers around them are getting fewer and fewer, but they are getting farther and farther away from their hometown, can they really fight back in this life, do they really have the opportunity to see their hometown fathers and elders in this life?
Although it has been a full six years, as long as he recalls that moment, the scene of infinite regret immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and the scene was extremely clear, he could not forget the old father before leaving.
"Son." The old father said to him with tears in his eyes, "Remember to call back." ”
The old father's earnest words are still in his ears, but the company commander knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to go back to the three eastern provinces in this life, not to mention the three eastern provinces, and he has not seen that North China and East China have fallen
Even Nanjing, seeing that it was about to fall into the hands of the enemy.
The company commander really wanted to tell the remnants of his soldiers that he couldn't go back, and he couldn't go back to the three eastern provinces.
But when the words came to his lips, the company commander changed his words and said, "It's soon, it's fast." ”
As soon as the company commander's words fell, a gun suddenly sounded from the horn in front of him, and then a burly figure burst out of the woods, rushing towards this side, shouting: "Devils, there are devils, there are devils"
The next moment, a gunshot rang out again from the depths of the forest, and the burly man who was as big as a mountain immediately snorted, ran forward a few steps, and then fell down.
"Old Camel"
"Brother Camel"
"Old squad leader"
He Shuya and a few remnants of the soldiers immediately jumped up and rushed up to rescue the burly man.
"Come back, the old camel is already dead," the company commander decisively controlled He Shuya and a few remnants.
As soon as the company commander's words fell, one devil after another appeared in the dense woods around him.
"The devil has touched it, ready to fight" The company commander gave an order, and more than a dozen remnants picked up the guys placed at their feet one after another, and fell to the ground as fast as they could.
The company commander originally thought of taking the top for a while first, and then retreating after repelling the first wave of the devil's attack.
Otherwise, let the little devil chase after him, and his dozen brothers will all have to confess.
But soon the company commander was completely desperate, because there were not a few or a dozen devil soldiers who came out of the surroundings, but there were forty or fifty, almost one squad.
Seeing so many devils, the company commander knew that they were determined to confess today.
But even so, the company commander and a dozen remnants did not flinch at all.
The company commander held up the Shenyang imitation Mauser rifle, and shouted while continuing to shoot: "Brothers, fight with these little devils of the dog day, let them know that there is no one in our Northeast Army." ”
"Fight, fight, fight with the little devil"
"Bruised calf, come on, let the horse go"
"Little devil, grandpa will send you back to Dongying today"
More than a dozen remnants of soldiers also roared hysterically.
However, this is only an emotional outpouring in despair, like the roar of a trapped beast after falling into a trap.
After all, courage cannot make up for the huge gap between the two sides in terms of troops, firepower, and tactical thinking.
The little devil first threw in an infantry squad and launched a tentative attack on the positions of the remnants of the Northeast Army.
This is also the fixed routine of the little devils, after receiving the enemy, a small number of troops are invested in a tentative feint, and after determining the firepower configuration and troop deployment of the first class, a cluster artillery bombardment is carried out.
The artillery bombardment was followed by a larger attack by infantry.
In layman's terms, it is the infantry rushing, the artillery bombardment, the infantry rushing after the artillery bombardment, and the infantry rushing after the artillery bombardment.
It must be admitted that the tactical literacy of the Japanese army is still quite good, especially those well-educated grassroots officers, who are usually able to strictly implement tactics, in contrast, most of the grassroots officers are illiterate, and they fight completely with only one blood, and basically have no tactics at all.
So in the vast majority of cases, ** is at a disadvantage without exception.
The tentative attack of the little devil was quickly repulsed, but the remnants of the Northeast Army were not allowed to take a breath, and rows of small grenades had already smashed down on their heads with squeaky screams, and the little devils used three portable 50-caliber grenadiers to carry out ten rapid fire on the positions of the Northeast Army.
30 grenades fell, and the positions of the Northeast Army were turned upside down.
When the shelling stopped, He Shuya pushed away the company commander who was pressing on his back and sat up, only to find that the entire position had been blown up beyond recognition.
The company commander's back was also torn open by shrapnel, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, and even the internal organs in the chest cavity were faintly visible.
"Company commander, company commander" He Shuya pushed the company commander, but the company commander did not respond, and then reached out to probe his nose, only to find that the company commander had already swallowed his breath.
"GI"
"Old Knife"
"Screwdriver"
He Shuya turned his gaze to the few remnants next to him.
Unfortunately, these remnants did not respond.
"Is there anyone alive?" He Shuya sat on the ground and shouted hoarsely, "There are still those who are panting."
There was still a dead silence on the battlefield, except for the smoke of the explosion rising from between the scorched earth.
"There are still those who are panting, there is no one who is alive, but no one is silent, can you say no" He Shuya looked for the position as if he was crazy, but tears flowed down without a fight, and his comrades-in-arms who had been with him for six years died suddenly, and he felt unprecedented loneliness, a loneliness from the depths of his soul
"Is there any one alive?"
"There are still panting ones"
"You're smacking."
"Brother Liu"
"Brother Leper"
"Bearded Brother"
He Shuya looked around blankly, and the entire position was still silent.
The sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the front of the position, and He Shuya's hairs stood up.
When I hurriedly looked back, I saw almost a squad and more than a dozen devils, slowly approaching with bayonets.
The little devil was in the mood of a cat playing with a mouse, and he was not in a hurry to shoot He Shuya, they wanted to catch him alive
