1132. The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the letter from the family was worth 10,000 gold

In the past year, the Japanese army has slowly adapted to the Chinese army's night raid and raid tactics, and at the same time, they have learned a lot from the past, and the devils have also begun to use the night raid raid tactics.

In particular, those forward troops, when doing overtake attacks, like to use the tactics of night raids and raids to quickly pass through the Chinese army's defense line, go close to the headquarters, and carry out decapitation operations.

Therefore, for the Chinese army, the outpost position is very important, and there is also wind and grass, which can be detected and alerted in time, so that the main force behind has time to react and deploy troops.

This time, the Ninth Company's Headless Ridge belonged to the forefront of the 51st Division's position, bearing the brunt of the attack, similar to a little salient, and should be the first to meet the enemy, and the Ninth Company deployed an outpost at the foot of the Headless Ridge Mountain, with five or six people, responsible for guarding.

But this time, it was not the Ninth Company that first engaged the enemy, it was the Eighth Company near the Jinjiang River, the cunning devils, and I don't know how they knew the deployment of the three battalions, so they immediately knew that the weakness was there, and they had to obey.

It may be that the plainclothes of the Japanese army were in the forefront, and when they could not pass the Ninth Company's Headless Ridge checkpoint, they found that the Ninth Company was heavily guarded, so they turned to reconnoiter the defense areas of the Seventh and Eighth Companies.

The Seventh Company is similar to the Ninth Company, the defensive area is not very large, and there is the terrain of Wugongling to rely on, and the defense is relatively tight, but the Eighth Company, from Wugongling to the riverside, is almost impossible to defend.

Moreover, the front line was stretched again, and the position of the Eighth Company only made some simple fortifications in the fields, and made a little warning of some road and straight points, and the troops were mainly concentrated and used for rapid reaction.

That night, the Japanese forward units did not come to attack the positions of the 3rd Battalion on this line, and waited until the next morning, that is, on the morning of March 20, when the Japanese launched their first attack.

The Japanese army avoided the real and the false, directly attacked the riverside position of the Eighth Company, and also used its strengths to avoid its weaknesses, and a cavalry team took the lead in launching an attack, wanting to use the fast cavalry to break through the weakest defense line of the third battalion in one fell swoop.

……

When a glimmer of light struggled to break free from the drizzle in the morning, the quiet early spring morning light was broken by a burst of thunder, and the spring thunder gradually came clearly from far and near.

The squad leader of the eighth company and three platoons of the first shift of the dog egg, just got up and sprinkled a big bubble of urine, and his whole body was a little more relaxed, otherwise he always felt that he couldn't sleep well, and the bursts of urine seriously interfered with the sweet dream in the early morning.

It's been raining lately, and it's hard to sweat on your body, so you can pee a lot.

After nightfall, it was either this one who got up to urinate at night, or the one who suddenly got up suddenly, scared the people around him to think that something was wrong, but it turned out to be just touching the manure tank of the position to and pee.

Recently, it has been raining, and most of the soldiers of the Eighth Company have been living in the homes of the villagers, there are several small villages here, there are not many houses, and there are only a dozen households in one village, but the people have long run out.

A few empty villages, a bunch of empty houses, the commander of the eighth company did not ask everyone to dig any anti-aircraft bunkers, he lived in the villager's house, but not in the outpost position.

The third platoon and one squad happened to be assigned to the outpost position last night to do a guard duty, and it was almost to the riverside here, and the brothers of a squad, wearing raincoats and coats, slept in the wet position, and died of discomfort.

Yesterday I dug some positions, but the strength was not enough for the brothers to consume too much energy, so everyone didn't fall asleep quickly, you and I chatted about the day until the dog reprimanded, so I didn't say anything and fell asleep slowly.

Because there is less sweat during the day, there are more people who urinate at night than usual, and the dog does not get up to pee until the morning, and there are sixteen people in a shift, except for two dark whistles and three shifts at night, the remaining ten people can be regarded as sleeping all night.

Goudan is a native of Hunan, and many of his brothers who joined the army to the 74th Army with him couldn't stand it and sacrificed, there were a few in the Seventh Company, such as Tieshu, Shi Ling, and Silly Tiger, and he was the only one left in the Eighth Company, and several of them became squad leaders.

A person who used to talk a lot, but now he talks less and less, and he doesn't say anything if he doesn't speak, as if his mouth is only used to eat and smoke.

Less words does not mean that Mu Ne, people are still quite clever, especially in war, more and more sophisticated, less words may be seen too much life and death parting, after all, most of the Hunan soldiers who came with him died in battle.

Now the people who have added in are all Jiangxi Yankees, who can't understand the local language in their mouths, and have said that they want to speak Chinese several times, but many of these local buns have not even entered the door of the academy and cannot speak at all.

I have to force them to say, it's also a parrot, and I don't know what I'm talking about, even their companions can't understand it, so I can only forget it and learn slowly.

In fact, the dog's own Chinese is also half-earthy, but it is good to be able to communicate with people, and almost most of what these Jiangxi buns say cannot be understood.

I heard that they are from the battalion commander's hometown, but the battalion commander speaks Chinese very well, after all, he is a person who has read books, if he has children in the future, he must let him go to study, doglegs look forward to it, and continue to think about the morning dream.

Now that I have money, I often send it back to my hometown, and some time ago I received a letter from home, and the matchmaker said that she had got the father of Meixian in the village, and she could marry Meixian to him, urging him to go home early and get married.

Meixian is a very beautiful girl in Goudan Village, at least in Goudan eyes, Goudan used to be so poor in the family, even if Goudan fell in love with Meixian, he didn't dare to speak.

Later, he entered the 74th Army, served as a soldier under Sangou, and the welfare was good, and he was a death squad several times, even if he was injured, he had a big life, survived, and made a lot of money, and finally dared to say this to his family.

So, when he received the letter and learned the exact news, Goudan was ecstatic.

The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.

This beacon has not even been around for more than three years, and the letter to the family is the most precious gift for the soldiers, especially the news of a lifelong event like a dog's egg.

Because of this, the dog has been having the same dream for the past few nights, that is, holding Meixian's hand, walking together on the mountain behind his hometown, looking at the roofs under the hillside, and the smoke that seems to be there, and he died happily.

How happy it should be to be willing to stay with Meixian for the rest of your life, until there are a group of white haired children and grandchildren, and then die contentedly.

But in the morning, when this sweet dream was being done, the dog was awakened by a bubble of urine, and he was so annoyed that he had to get up to pee.

While urinating, I still think about the children born with Meixian in the future, I must let them go to school, speak Chinese, and don't speak bird language that others can't understand.

There was still some chill in the early spring morning, and the dog was even more cold after urinating, and after tying the belt, he was ready to go and wash up.

In the past, Goudan didn't know that people in the city had to brush their teeth in the morning, and in the ravine of his hometown, he had never even seen or heard of what a toothpaste and toothbrush looked like.

Later, Sangou asked everyone to buy toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap and other sanitary products, but the dog was still unwilling, what to do with that money, it was better to save it, and it was more important to send it home to build a house.
