In the twilight, one of the Japanese attacks was repulsed.

They were repelled by the Chinese, who had no artillery, only guns and even light machine guns, no more than 100 rounds, and only a mere infantry squad.

Moreover, they also killed a lieutenant, infantry squadron leader, two soldiers and 16 soldiers, and wounded more than 10 people. Of these, the vast majority were killed by a blast in the trenches.

The Japanese army gritted their teeth in pain.

But the Chinese on the battlefield were also in pain.

When the far left side of the position exploded and the Japanese fled in a hurry, the watermelon suddenly fell into the trench: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you can't go!" You're gone, my sister. ”

He couldn't help crying, at the moment when the Japanese army was about to attack the left flank position, in the morning, he had been automatically promoted to deputy squad leader in charge of the left flank position, and when the watermelon was desperate and ready to carry the explosive bag and break his bones together like his squad leader in the morning to defend the position, the thin soldier snatched the explosive bag, carried it on his back, and left only one sentence when leaving: "Live, marry Erni, let your sister marry my brother." ”

If others can't understand it, how can he not understand it? Shaanxi is not rich in the first place, and a major drought a few years ago has devastated Shaanxi to the ground. Poor families want to get married, basically by changing relatives, for example, if he wants to marry Erni, then his sister will marry Erni's family. But his sister was reluctant to marry Brother Erni, and the family affair was delayed until the July Seven Incident suddenly broke out and the troops drove to the battlefield, and he didn't have time to marry in a hurry.

He, the younger brother, naturally knows his sister's thoughts, and he has a crush on the second brother of Erni's family instead of the eldest brother, but in the countryside, there has never been a precedent for the eldest brother to marry the second brother first. In his heart, he didn't have some resentment towards Erni, the second brother. Therefore, he never mentioned it to anyone, and even with this second brother, he only talked about his relationship with Erni, but never mentioned his sister's relationship with him.

But today, he understood, he understood the mind of this brother-in-law, who could no longer be a brother-in-law. He carried the explosives bag for him to fight the Japanese devils, not only hoping that he could become his baby's second uncle, but also taking care of the younger brother for his sister.

Such a person can't be a brother-in-law, who can be a brother-in-law?

The remaining soldiers were lying in the trenches, panting for breath, looking at the watermelon and crying with grief, their eyes full of misery. They didn't even ask why Watermelon didn't call her brother-in-law and changed her name to brother-in-law.

Eighty percent of the officers and men of the 17th Division are from Huxian. In yesterday's battle, the son was swept in the head by a machine gun bullet, and he died without leaving a word, and the grief-stricken father in the next battle, he tied five or six grenades to his body When the Japanese army was not far from the position, he took the initiative to jump out of the trench and pulled the grenade, killing four or five devils to avenge his beloved son.

In addition to father and son soldiers, there are also brother soldiers, and as for cousins and cousins, there are even more. Now a seriously wounded soldier lying in the anti-artillery hole in the rear is the eldest brother of the company commander Zhang Dengdi, because the family is poor, and when he heard that his brother became an official, he defected to the army. Although a cannonball exploded ten meters away from him and didn't kill him, a piece of fast-moving cannonball skin cut off all the legs of the recruit lying in the trench from below the knee, and a young man of 1.8 meters instantly turned into a short frustration. Heard that voice: "Brother, brother, save me." "Officers and soldiers don't need to look at the company commander's face to know how painful the company commander's heart is.

"How much do you cry, what do you cry?" The lieutenant company commander lay in the trench and gasped for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice.

Although the Japanese red poison gas did not kill him, it severely damaged his throat and lungs, and he didn't even feel that air could enter his lungs without trying his best to breathe.

This time, however, he didn't scold the seemingly fragile soldier. Although it still has a tone of rebuke, it is more of a comfort than a rebuke. "A melon coward, Hou Er is just going to take the first step, and he will go to him later, he will definitely not go on the road alone."

"Company commander, I'm not afraid of death for a long time, but I'm a little worried about Erni and my sister, if they know that my brother-in-law and I are gone, they should cry to death." Watermelon's face was covered with tears.

"Know a ball, if you don't block the little devils in this dog's day, your Erni and your sister won't have a good life, it doesn't matter if you die, they can remarry, give birth to dolls, and come to incense you and your brother-in-law when the time comes." The lieutenant shook his head and said softly.

"Company commander, you're right, if you don't block the little devils in Shanxi, Erni and my sister may not have a good life. That is, they remember the foreheads, where will their dolls remember? I haven't even met with them. Watermelon nodded heavily.

"Will remember. The foreheads died here, and they couldn't honor Yamato's mother, they would help them to be honored. Their descendants will also come here to see them. There is a saying in the party, called: The people's heroes are immortal. The lieutenant set his eyes on the Japanese position, which was a few hundred meters away and could not be seen clearly in the twilight, full of pride.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, count the number of people, and ammunition." The lieutenant glanced at the number of people in the trench and shouted.

However, this time, no one agreed to him.

Everyone was silent.

The trench of the fifth company is actually not long, because of the position on the top of the mountain, but it is only more than 300 meters, and it is not a straight line.

If you don't agree, it often means.

Die.

"Lao Zhang, what about the special mother?" The lieutenant's face was extremely ugly.

There is another comrade-in-arms, do you want to leave him like this?

"Company commander, platoon commander Zhang, platoon commander Zhang is dying." A soldier rushed from the right-flank position, shouting with a cry.

The lieutenant led everyone along the trench and ran a hundred meters away. It's all of them, but in fact, it's just a total of five people, including the lieutenant and company commander.

In the previous battle, there were a total of nine people in the left and right flank positions, and four were missing. Although the Japanese did not use cannons, there were a lot of machine guns and grenadiers, and their marksmanship was also a guns, and if they were not careful, they were targeted.

When I ran to the left flank position seventy or eighty meters away, I saw that with the soldier who came to report the news, there were only three left. If the second lieutenant platoon commander, who was shot in the chest and only had a slight undulation, there would be no more, and there would be only two left.

"Company commander, platoon commander wants to talk to you." A soldier saw the lieutenant running over and hurriedly said.

Seeing his most powerful subordinate lying on the ground with a pale face, his head resting on the soldier's lap, two first-aid kits on his chest and still bleeding profusely, the lieutenant also looked miserable, and put his ear close to the second lieutenant's mouth, whose lips were only moving.

"Company commander, I'm sorry, brother will go first."

The second lieutenant let out his last breath slowly.

Tears suddenly welled up in the lieutenant's eyes, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand fiercely, looked around at the only six remaining soldiers around, and his face reappeared with firmness, "Carry the brothers to the back of the artillery hole, and then blow up the hole for me, don't let the devil bring disaster to the remains of the brothers." ”

"What about the seriously injured brothers?"

The lieutenant bit his lip, as if he had made an extremely important decision, reached out and picked up his submachine gun from the second lieutenant's body, and pinned the bayonet, "I'll go see the brothers first, and you will bring them over in five minutes." ”

In the small anti-artillery hole at the rear of the position, eight seriously wounded soldiers were lying, and the constant muffled and painful groans made the pitch-black anti-artillery hole look a little gloomy.

Holding a piece of burning wood that could be seen everywhere on the position, the lieutenant, who hunched over and burrowed into the anti-artillery hole, glanced at the ground, and the expression on his face turned out to be a little hideous.

"Brother, brother, you're here, your legs hurt so much! When will you be able to withdraw? A soldier with a bandage firmly wrapped around his knees looked up at his brother and shouted loudly.

"Dengyun, don't shout, come, let my brother see." The lieutenant company commander thrust the wood into the ground, leaned over and hugged his younger brother, who had lost a whole part of his body, in his arms, and said softly.

The tears in his eyes were hidden in the darkness by him.

"Brother, tell E, can you retreat? My forehead hurts, I am hungry, I am thirsty, I am cold. The recruit, who was held in his brother's arms, couldn't help but cry.

"Soon, soon, it doesn't hurt."

The lieutenant tightened his arm, as if he hoped to pass on his warmth to his own brother in this way.

It's just that big tears rolled down the face hidden in the darkness and fell on the face of the brother in his arms.

"Have you defeated the little devils?" A hint of longing for life flashed in the eyes of the recruit in the lieutenant's arms, "Brother, why are you crying, don't cry, it doesn't hurt。。。。。。 ”

A chill penetrated his heart, and the recruit looked up at his brother in disbelief.

"Dengyun, soon it won't hurt, I'm not hungry, I'm not cold. Brother will come to you soon, brother promises. The lieutenant company commander hugged his brother tightly, face to face.

Just like when I was a child, on that wide and warm earthen kang. The younger brother was in the arms of the elder brother, and the elder brother hugged the younger brother, extremely warm.

It's just that tears welled up like a spring.
