Chapter 16: Qingyundu (I)

In western Yunnan in June, the season of flowing fire and the scorching heat of the weather, we are looking forward to the arrival of heavy rain as if we were looking forward to the end of the war. But in previous years, one after another heavy rain, this year it just didn't come, just now the sky was still cloudy, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was shining.

Duan Biao's long-awaited counteroffensive was as long as the long-awaited heavy rain, and it took less than two months for the expeditionary force to win from the first victory to the subsequent successive defeats, and finally being driven into the Savage Mountain by the Japanese army.

So far, every day there are routs from Burma one after another, and Japanese bombers even appeared in the sky over Linmeng for a time.

Several towns west of the Nu River have fallen, and the multi-layered lines of defense that I once joked about are now a prophecy. The Nu River, which flows endlessly, has now become the last line of defense in the southwest.

The sound of artillery in the distance was getting closer and closer, and standing on the high ground of the Jianlong Bay position, you could even see the fire and black smoke from the shells. More and more rout troops rushed to the Qingyundu Bridge on the Nu River, and together with the refugees who had fled from the west bank, the Qingyundu Bridge was now overcrowded.

At night, fierce gunfire came from the Moyunling position on the opposite bank. The deafening sound of shell explosions reminds us that the Japanese advance is attacking Moyunling and is only one step away from appearing in front of us.

Seeing that on the Longwan position, Huang Wenlie was holding a telescope and looking at the opposite shore, he looked a little worried.

Me: "Tuanza, isn't Shangfeng going to send reinforcements over?" If this continues, the special service battalion on the opposite side will not be able to support it for long. ”

Huang Wenlie sighed: "There are no reinforcements." ”

I suspect I misheard: "What do you mean there are no reinforcements?" Moyunling doesn't want it either? ”

Huang Wenlie nodded: "Shangfeng believes that strategically abandoning the west bank, relying on the natural dangers of the Nu River, and making every effort to hold on to the east bank is the top priority at present. Therefore, it is a matter of time before Moyunling is lost. ”

"But there are still more than 2,000 people in Moyunling...... Leave it alone? ……”

Huang Wenlie said lightly: "Two thousand? Is 2,000 a lot? We have lost countless two thousand men for this war. Moreover, he sacrificed his life for the country and got what he deserved. ”

In fact, before this, there were many shameless defeats, all of which were shamelessly said to be strategic abandonment. As a result, many of the Qiu Ba who were with my fate naturally became cannon fodder that could be discarded at will.

Huang Wenlie looked at me: "You seem to be angry? ”

I was so rude that I forgot that he was my boss: "I'm not angry, I'm worried that one day, we will be like them, and we will also be killed by a sentence of sacrificing our lives for the country!" ”

Huang Wenlie's face grew angry: "The battle of soldiers is the most jealous of women's benevolence!" Could it be that we can make you less whining like this by rushing over to fight to the death with them now? ”

"Am I complaining? I'm just putting myself in my shoes and thinking about the way forward for the brothers behind me! Tuanza! "I'm already a little out of control, I glared at Huang Wenlie, and I couldn't wait to punch the guy in front of me who treats human life like a mustard.

Qiu Ba looked at me in surprise and glared angrily at the head of the regiment, Duan Biao ran over to pull me away, and smiled at Huang Wenlie: "Tuanzao, you don't remember the villain, Anzi is also for the sake of our brothers......"

Huang Wenlie didn't pay attention to Duan Biao at all, he only looked at me: "When the national disaster is at the head, as a soldier, what else do you have to consider?" Ansihu, you really disappointed me! ”

Huang Wenlie turned around and strode away.

"Anzi, no wonder your parents named you An Sihu, you are too tiger!" Duan Biao patted me on the shoulder: "I don't think our head is the kind of person with a small belly, you hurry up and make amends!" ”

After I calmed down, I also regretted it, thinking that the older I get, the more confused I become, and I dare to quarrel with my commander in front of the battle. Fortunately, my punch didn't really go out.

At noon, I arrived at Huang Wenlie's headquarters.

"Tuanzuo, humble An Sihu, specially came to ask for sin!"

Huang Wenlie just answered a phone call, he put down the phone and looked at me: "Repented so soon?" Or are you worried that I will give you small shoes to wear in the future? If you feel justified, you can continue. You can rest assured, I am by no means the kind of chief who oppresses people with his official position, and I don't disdain to be such a villain. ”

"Report to the group, it is true that the lowly position is because of too much thinking before he chooses to speak, and I hope the group seat will understand." I stood straight, with a sincere face.

Huang Wenlie stared at me for a while, and then said excitedly, "Okay, that's it...... Just now, the engineering corps called, asking us to send someone to help maintain order in Qingyundu, just when you came, you can bring some people there. ”

I took a platoon of people and ran forward to catch up with Qingyundu.

On the noisy and chaotic bridge deck, refugees who helped the old and the young, and the routed soldiers with guns and no guns, fled across the east bank in a mixed group. A mule cart was suddenly broken because of the wheels, and the contents of the cart were scattered all over the ground, which suddenly made the already slow-moving bridge even more congested.

I walked over with the people, and while having people help move the mule cart to the side, I yelled at the people crossing the bridge to pass in order.

A few wounded soldiers walked over with each other's arms, but they artificially turned several of them into a swarm of crabs walking sideways.

I shouted at the crab group: "You injured people, hold on first, walk in a column, don't block the passage!" ”

The wounded soldiers turned a deaf ear, as if they hadn't heard, and one of the soldiers beside me rushed over and shouted, "What about you! Deaf! ”

Pointing at his nose and shouting loudly, he was sure that he could hear it clearly, and the strange thing was that these wounded soldiers, except for nodding and laughing, did not follow the order to line up in a column.

I think something is wrong, and if I look closely at the bodies of these wounded soldiers, I don't see how many injuries there are, at most they have bandages wrapped around their heads, so why is it necessary to support each other to walk with such injuries?

"You guys stop!" I pulled the bolt.

A few of the wounded soldiers were still smiling at me, and the soldier who had just passed by scolded, "Are you really fucking deaf!" With that, he rushed over and smashed the butt of his rifle at one of the wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldier was smashed by the butt of the gun, and then blurted out: "Baga! After scolding, he himself was stunned, and we were also stunned. But then we all reacted, it's fucking Japanese!

I slammed a warning shot into the sky: "Get down!" There is a day of rape! ”

The fast one immediately lay down on the spot, and the slow one was still inexplicable, not knowing what was going on.

The Japanese soldiers, pretending to be wounded soldiers, opened fire almost at the same time as me, and the soldier who bore the brunt of the blow with the butt of his rifle was knocked down with a single shot, and then the Japanese began to fire at us.

Qingyundu immediately became a mess, gunshots and cries were heard in a row, and there were not a few refugees who were innocently killed and injured.

I hid behind cover and fired back at the Japanese, the scope of the British sniper rifle was three times larger than the magnification of the normal scope, and it was a long-range gun close to 800 meters, and it was very difficult to miss the target on this unconcealed bridge deck.

There were not a few Japanese troops mixed with Qingyundu, and at least there was a small team, they pretended to be Chinese routers, openly holding weapons and trying to capture Qingyundu in one fell swoop, in fact, if we hadn't been accidentally detected, they would have almost half of the success.

My sniper rifle was almost inmissible, and when I took out the fourth Japanese soldier, they sensed my danger and began to concentrate their fire on where I was hiding.

But there were not only unarmed refugees on the bridge deck, but also many armed routs, who also opened fire on the bridge deck against the Japanese troops, and the Japanese squad was tantamount to being attacked on their backs, and it was precisely because of this that they did not rush over in one go.
