I walked slowly along the village road with Mao Xiaodou and a gun, and many villagers stood at the door of the house and looked at us from afar.

Mao Xiaodou shouted: "Don't be afraid, we are an expeditionary force, a Chinese army." ”

I noticed that most of the people standing around were elderly, weak, women and children, and there were almost no young men to be seen. A little boy of five or six years old squatted on the ground curiously looking at us, and I walked over and squatted down: "How old are you, Mom and Dad?" ”

The little boy looked back hesitantly, and I followed his gaze to see a thin, pale woman, looking nervously at us teasing her child.

"Where's Daddy?"

"Daddy went to work ......"

"Where did Daddy go to work?"

The little boy went to see his mother again, and then lowered his head and played with a leaf: "I'm going to work in the mountains." ”

An old man of seventy or eighty years old came over with a wooden stick: "You are an expeditionary force? ……”

Mao Xiaodou hurriedly said: "Uncle, we are an expeditionary force and our own people. ”

A few tears rolled down from the old man's cloudy eyes: "You guys are back, we have all been miserable by the little devils......"

I asked him, "Old man, have all the men in this village been captured by devils to repair fortifications?" ”

The old man sighed: "Yes, the little devil comes to the village every once in a while to arrest people and distribute food from house to house, saying that it is for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia...... ! How can there be such a co-prosperity! ”

More villagers gathered around and complained about the evil deeds of the Japanese soldiers.

We retreated to the east bank, leaving our compatriots on the west bank under the bayonets and guns of the Japanese army. They look forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that their country's army will come back and rescue them from the sea of suffering, but I can only be ashamed to tell them that we are mainly self-preservation now, and we will have a long time before we can rescue them.

The disappointment of the villagers was palpable, and I had no other way to ease their confidence, telling them that every family could go to the village office to receive a portion of the food—the Japanese had hoarded a lot of food there, and it was impossible to take that much with our lightly armed marching style.

After distributing the food, we packed up our equipment and withdrew from the village office, and along the way we came, we withdrew into the forest in the back mountain of Fanjiagou, where the dense woods were the best hiding place for guerrillas like us.

We had a dozen wounded, but fortunately none of the injuries were fatal, the most serious was the bamboo pole-like guy who threw the cluster bomb, he was shot through the shoulder blade at close range by a 38 rifle, and one arm was almost scrapped, but fortunately the bullet did not remain in his body because he was too close when he was hit.

I shouted to Duan Biao: "Old Duan, let everyone hurry up and rest, if you are lucky tonight, I am afraid that you will have to run all night." ”

Wang Sibao was puzzled: "What if I'm unlucky?" ”

Duan Biao said coldly: "If you are unlucky, you will not have your life to run!" ”

We put out the guard post, and then we lay down or leaned back, and rested in the woods, and after running for a day, it was very cool in the woods, and many of them snored loudly after lying down.

I leaned against the trunk of the tree and smoked a cigarette, and Duan Biao also sat down with a submachine gun: "I'm tired to death!" ”

Duan Biao said that he was tired to death, but there was a satisfied expression on his face, and I was very strange: "Old Duan, what are you happy about?" Speaking out makes me happy. ”

Duan Biao: "There can still be a fart happy thing in the war...... Lao Tzu just hasn't killed devils so happily for a long time, I think, this battle is worth it no matter what! ”

Duan Biao is a guy who has experienced more defeats than me, and the depression that has been accumulated for many years finally has a chance to vent, which is the reason for his satisfaction. I even guessed that Duan Biao didn't really care much about what the final outcome of this operation would be, he cared more about the process, and the satisfaction of this process was measured by how many Japanese soldiers could be killed.

"I hope that Huang Tuanzuo's follow-up reinforcements will be sent soon, and we can't make a climate with just a hundred of us." I lay down on my back on the ground.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the distance, and I sat up suddenly: "What's the matter?" ”

Duan Biao was faster than me, and he ran all the way out, shouting as he ran: "You, you, you, and a few of you." Come with me! ”

I tightened my belt: "Get up, spread the formation!" Prepare to meet the enemy! ”

Within a few minutes, Duan Biao had already run back with someone: "The devil's scout has discovered us!" They tried to touch our guard post, but when they didn't succeed, they exchanged fire. ”

I ordered: "Hurry up, retreat, retreat, the devil's shelling is coming!" ”

Before we could retreat two hundred meters, the shells whizzed in, and the trees that were blown up by the shells broke and flew sideways.

"Don't run, get down!" I screamed, and my feet mixed with the roots of an old tree that fell out of the ground, and I rolled eighteenth.

Mao Xiaodou turned around and fired a shot, and was kicked down by Duan Biao: "It's all trees and forests, who can you hit?" Hit the big tree! ”

We lay motionless behind the trees, letting the shells explode around us, and the dirt from the shells fell on me, and one of the mounds was hit by a howitzer, and his body flew into the air and fell heavily in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but see his eyes staring at death.

"It's good that there is no heavy artillery!" As soon as the shells stopped, I shook off the dirt from my body, leaned against the trees and shouted, "The infantry is coming in!" Those with rifles shoot first. Don't move the other heavy weapons yet, listen to my orders! ”

After a day of shouting, I felt that my voice was on the verge of collapse, and I could feel the strangeness of my throat being congested.

The smoke of the shells has not yet dissipated, and the gunfire follows, bang! This is a platoon of guns, and after the platoon of guns, the shadows of the Japanese army appeared, and they pulled the straggler line, and also relied on the cover of trees to search and advance unhurriedly.

The stubbornness of the Japanese army lies in the fact that even in such a dense forest, they still pulled out the formation that was only used for attacks on the plains, and the Japanese soldiers holding 38 rifles aimed at any angle on the left, center and right, and behind them were two light machine guns to hold back. In my opinion, this is really a way to fight, the road in the dense forest is already narrow, and the Japanese troops swarming in front have actually blocked the firing range of light machine guns behind.

I held a sniper rifle and aimed at the Japanese soldier at the front, and with a bang, the bullet passed through the chest, and then hit the Japanese soldier behind him - I wore a sugar gourd that I had been envious of for a long time!

This is thanks to this ultra-long-range sniper rifle, its penetration power is far better than that of ordinary rifles, and the Japanese army is so close to each other, which has achieved this feat of shooting and shooting. Duan Biao behind me sighed: "You kid is really lucky!" Double yolk eggs can be picked up. ”

Because we had very few rifles, and under my orders, none of the other weapons fired, so our fire looked sporadic and bam! Bang! Bang! All are single-shot shots from rifles.

The Japanese forward left a few corpses behind and retreated, and after a while, more Japanese troops outside the woods began to attack - they were just testing the fire.

Machine gunner Ma Shun's head was full of sweat: "Battalion commander, aren't we going to fight?" ”

"Don't you keep it for the New Year! Listen to my gun, all the weapons fire in unison! ”
