introduction
November 10, 26th year of the Republic of China.
Yin.
Rainstorm.
It was overcast, and it was almost evening.
On the bank of Suzhou Creek, Bazi Bridge.
A zigzag trench stretches far along the banks of the Suzhou Creek. The rain was raging, and the air was filled with gunsmoke. In addition to the sound of rain, there was also the occasional roar in the distance. The Chinese soldiers crawling in the trenches were drenched in wet. Everyone stared at the Suzhou Creek 100 meters ahead.
The side of the river by the trenches had been dyed half red, and a dozen or twenty rubber boats ran aground on the riverside. Dozens of corpses of Japanese soldiers floated across the water.
There were even more corpses on the tidal flats along the river, and a few Japanese soldiers who were not dead were groaning and struggling in pain. Blood mixed with rainwater poured into the Suzhou Creek.
"This damn rain." A tall and thin soldier of the National Army in the trench cursed: "Why don't you keep going, you didn't kill the little Japanese artillery, but you were going to freeze to death." ”
"Yes, it's raining so hard and it's so cold. Little Japan will not stop meeting, and this is already the third wave this afternoon. One of the soldiers next to him replied.
Wow, whoa, whoa
The sound of people wading through the water came from the other side of the trenches. The continuous torrential rain had reached the knees of the people in the trenches, and the winter rain was so cold that almost all the soldiers in the cold trenches were shivering, and their lips were white.
Two or three soldiers shouted as they walked: "Brothers, the regiment commander said, another hour." As soon as it got dark, the three battalions came to change their guards. ”
The tall and thin soldier shouted at the officer in front of him, "Battalion commander, don't worry, the brothers can stand it." His voice trembled a little.
Since 6 November, when the Teaching Corps was ordered to take over the position of the First Army's Bazi Bridge, all the units of the 2nd Regiment have been holding this trench for five days in turn.
Under the leadership of the battalion commander Wu Youyuan, the second battalion of the tall and thin soldiers has already repelled three attacks today.
Although the current Second Battalion is still fully organized, the casualties have already exceeded one-third. The commander of the second company and the deputy of the third company have been killed in battle.
The tall and thin soldier was the commander of the first company and the third platoon of the second battalion of the second regiment of the teaching corps, named Liu Wenzhi. A native of Xiangyin, Hunan, he was transferred in June of the 25th year of the Republic of China when the Teaching Corps was expanded, and he turned out to be a veteran of the Northwest Army.
Walking beside Wu Youyuan was an officer of the national army with the rank of captain. Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. A long scar on the left side of his face, diagonally across the eyebrow. It stands to reason that with such a scar, the left eye cannot be saved no matter what. But this person's left eye is clear and fine, blazing, and there is a little vicissitudes in his eyes, although it makes people look a little old-fashioned, but it is also intimidating and dare not look directly.
Liu Wenzhi saw the scarred face, his eyes shone brightly, and he hugged it regardless of the muddy water on his body. said excitedly: "Company commander, you're back!" You okay? ”
Scarface's name is Sun Yumin, a native of Hengyang, Hunan, and the commander of the first company of the second battalion. The day before yesterday, he was blown away by the air waves generated by the bombardment of naval artillery on his position, and he was unconscious for two days, and only woke up more than an hour ago.
However, the Sun Yumin who woke up was no longer the Sun Yumin he used to be, and in his coma, he had been occupied by an otaku named Li Wei from 2015. Li Wei is a recent college graduate, addicted to military and online games, and loves to collect information on various guns and ammunition.
On this day, I was playing a real-time strategy game, and suddenly I fainted when it went dark, and when I woke up, I found that I had attached myself to an officer of the national army.
Li Wei woke up in a simple field hospital, and when he saw that the hospital was full of wounded, he was almost stunned, but he didn't dare to show the surprise in his heart.
Li Wei thought to himself, what is this TMD? I actually crossed over.
When Li Wei was in his time, although he was a college student, he was extremely bored, rarely went out, and stayed at home all day playing games or reading books. The character is also extremely weak.,No quarrel with the world.,Tolerate everything.,With the mentality that suffering is a blessing.,Isolate yourself from the crowd.。
Hearing Liu Wenzhi's shout, several soldiers around him got up and shouted, "Company commander." ”
Li Wei thought to himself: This product seems to be very popular in the army. I wanted to say a few words to these people, but the personality of his previous life made him unable to open his mouth, so he only nodded at them.
Wu Youyuan pointed to this trench at Sun Yumin and said, "Can it be done?" ”
Li Wei was originally full of pride, thinking that since he had crossed over, with his knowledge of being decades ahead and understanding the future direction of history, how could he be able to mix up his personal appearance. But as soon as the cold rain poured it, the raging flame that came out of his chest had long been extinguished. The only thought now is how to save the life first. He knew that Jin Shanwei would be lost tomorrow, and it would not be more than noon tomorrow at the latest, and the order to retreat would come.
Sun Yumin saw that the soldiers on the battlefield were all looking at him, and knew that he couldn't let out his morale and military spirit, so he saluted Wu Youyuan and said, "It can be done!" ”
Wu Youyuan patted him on the shoulder, walked forward, cheered up the brothers as he walked, and shouted: "Brothers, hold on more, the brothers of the third battalion will be coming soon!" ”
Sun Yumin watched the battalion commander go away, and said to Liu Wenzhi and a few soldiers beside him: "You guys quickly take tools, dig a trench from here, and connect the first trench with the other two lines of defense." "With a finger of his hand, he drew a line.
Liu Wenzhi looked embarrassed and said, "Company commander, didn't the regiment commander say that you can't dig through the two lines of defense?" ”
"Are you stupid? When it rains again, the water here will drown us all! ”
"But ......"
"Nothing but, carry out the order. And a few of you are here to help dig it up. Sun Yumin pointed to the other soldiers.
Although Sun Yumin had never been a soldier in his previous life, he was a military fan and had a deep understanding of the tactics of the Japanese army during the war.
Looking at the trench in front of him, he couldn't help frowning. This trench was not a trench at all in his eyes, there was neither a defensive extension, nor a communication trench, the depth was not enough, and there were no anti-artillery holes.
No wonder Sun Yumin in this world was stunned by the air wave of naval artillery, no wonder the Japanese army can bombard a platoon with one shot, and a burst of artillery can cripple a regiment of the national army, how can it be done to fill the position with human lives!
Liu Wenzhi and several other soldiers saw that the company commander was resolute, so they put down their weapons and began to dig against shovels and hoes.
Sun Yumin looked at the soldiers who were shivering in the cold wind and rain, and said in his heart: This can't be done, you have to let them move, or the bolt of the gun will not be able to pull when the Japanese army attacks. So he shouted: "Platoon leader, you lead a squad to act as a lookout post, and the others will all do it and deepen the trench for me by thirty centimeters." ”
The soldiers crawling in the icy muddy water could not stand it for a long time, and as soon as they heard the order, they all immediately got up, waved their arms and did it.
Sun Yumin repositioned the two Makqin heavy machine guns in the company and repositioned the six Czech light machine guns.
Two communication trenches connecting the second line of defense were dug longitudinally, and two caves were dug under the small hill between the two lines, and many logs were piled on the roof of the caves, and two layers of sandbags were piled on the logs. The cave is also supported by many logs to prevent landslides.
By the time all this was done, it was completely dark, the rain had stopped, and the three battalions braved the darkness to complete the change of guards.
Sun Yumin and his company retreated to a makeshift camp two kilometers later, where the cooking team had already cooked hot meals and soup. The soldiers were already hungry, tired, and cold, and they devoured hot soup around a few fires.
There was a fire burning in the middle of the room, and the Chase was covered with a thick layer of rice incense, and a company of soldiers lay on it. There were too few houses in the temporary camp, which was far from enough for the second regiment, so it could only be a small room with even a hundred or so people crammed into a small room. People on top of each other, for soldiers who are out on the battlefield, it is undoubtedly a good way to keep warm, but also a difficult time to rest.
Sun Yumin and Liu Wenzhi, as well as the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader, and several squad leaders sat around the fire, and no one said a word. Sun Yumin looked at them and sighed in his heart: I don't know how many people in this room will be left after tomorrow. Where should I go in the future?
Liu Wenzhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, sighed heavily, got up and found a corner to sleep in his clothes.
Sun Yumin knew what he wanted to say, so he didn't ask him, glanced at the snoring soldiers in the room, and secretly decided: I must take you to live.
