Tan Weimin and I talked about road construction, and one of us played the role of complainer and the other played the role of listener. In fact, between the two, the listener is more bitter than the complainant.

Yes, that's right, I'm the listener.

A young man standing on a hill smashing stones suddenly pointed to the sky and cheered, shouting, "Airplane! Plane! Allied planes! ”

A plane came from the west with a huge roar from far and near, Tan Weimin put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a while, then suddenly jumped up and shouted: "This is not an allied plane!" It's a Japanese plane! ”

In recent months, there have been no Japanese planes in Linmeng for too long, which has created a natural illusion for all of us that as long as it is flying in the sky of Linmeng, it can only be Allied planes.

In fact, for a long time, it was. Each time, it was Allied planes coming from the Hump route, loaded with an overload of military supplies that we urgently needed, crossing the Nu River over Linmeng, and then flying to Kunming to land.

The more it is repeated, it will be natural to assume the judgment of the beginning, as it is today, almost everyone thinks that this is another Allied plane.

"Look for cover, don't look at it! This is a bomber for the Japanese! I screamed, pulled out my pistol and shot it into the sky! The warning was fired to alert the sweaty, but stunned coolies.

Adjutant Liu asked nervously, "Battalion commander, why didn't you hear the air defense siren?" The anti-aircraft machine gun also did not fire? ”

"Let's go! Check it out! "I also wondered if even if the air raid sirens were often unresponsive, but they were only a few hundred meters away from my anti-aircraft machine gun anti-aircraft position.

It is incomprehensible why they did not open fire, even a deaf person should be able to hear the loud sound of the bombers overhead.

I took Adjutant Liu and a few guards and hurried to the anti-aircraft machine gun position.

Tan Weimin shouted loudly in the same place, organized the coolies to evacuate, and asked them to learn to find shelter nearby. There are thousands of coolie laborers gathered here, and if the Japanese airborne machine guns were to strafe each other, it would not be as simple as a few dozen casualties.

The Japanese 97 bombers flew over our heads, da-da! Four airborne machine guns were firing frantically at the ground, the bomb magazine slowly opened, and a 60-kilogram bomb whistled down.

I ran through the slippery mud, and when the first bomb was dropped, I finally ran to the position of the anti-aircraft machine gun company and took refuge in the bunker with the guards behind me.

Rumble! There was a loud bang, black smoke from a bomb dropped not far behind me, and the bomb fragments burst into the sandbags of the bunker. Luckily we ran fast, otherwise the fragments would have shot into our bodies.

In the distance, the chaotic sounds of coolies running in all directions, I was so anxious that I cried out, "What about the people! Is there anyone in the machine gun company who can still breathe! What about the machine gunners! ”

A Qiu Ba, who had just fastened the steel helmet on his head, came out of the anti-artillery hole in a panic and stammered: "Chief, chief, sir, I'm a machine gunner......

I raised my hand and slapped him in the mouth, saying, "Where are your loaders and aims, get out of here!" ”

The voice has not fallen, boom! There was another loud explosion.

I kicked the heavy in front of the anti-aircraft machine gun and said, "Look at what? Shoot back! Waiting for the devil's plane to fall down on its own! ”

I don't know where to drill a few mounds, it looks like they are an anti-aircraft machine gun crew, and they are busy starting to locate and aim in preparation for shooting.

I looked around and didn't see the commander, and I said, "Who is the supreme commander here in this position?" ”

An officer wearing the rank of second lieutenant probably woke up from the bomb, and sleepily came out of an anti-artillery hole, hurriedly ran a few steps, and said, "Sir, I am the commander here." ”

I looked at him, and his white skin was a young offspring who was not even twenty years old. At such a young age, I am the second lieutenant platoon commander, and it seems that I am really a young and talented country!

I almost yelled at him and said, "How did you lead the troops?" Is the anti-aircraft machine gun just an ornament! Don't you know that you have to be on duty at all times in wartime! Japanese bombers ......"

Rumble! My roar was drowned out by another explosion, and Adjutant Liu threw me to the ground, this time the bomb dropped off a deviation, and the bomb fell not far from the anti-aircraft machine gun position, and the heat from the bomb caused the temperature to rise sharply, and the bomb fragments stirred up dirt and stones.

The anti-aircraft machine gun company was stationed here, erecting two anti-aircraft machine guns, but now they only had a complete machine gun team scrambling into the position to shoot, and the other machine gun became an ornament.

I ordered the guards who came with me and said, "You, go up and load, you are responsible for aiming......"

I pointed at the young lieutenant platoon commander with my hand and said, "You, go up and shoot!" ”

The second lieutenant platoon commander was even more flustered and said, "I am the platoon commander." ”

I yelled angrily, "Platoon? See my epaulettes no? I'm the battalion commander! But if there's a shortage of manpower, I'll go up and reload you!" ”

The second lieutenant platoon commander gave the ultimate reason why he didn't go up, and said: "Sir, I won't use this machine gun......"

The second lieutenant platoon commander of an anti-aircraft machine gun company, who will not use an anti-aircraft machine gun? Are you kidding!

Rumble! The Japanese Type 97 bombers turned back again and continued to bomb, and I suddenly understood that the Japanese bombers were specially sent to bomb the road! They're going to blow up every road to Linmeng!

Just when I suddenly realized, the second lieutenant platoon commander suddenly turned around and ran towards the anti-artillery hole, I didn't figure out what was going on at first, but when I looked up, I realized that the Japanese bombers were flying in our direction, there was no important road here, and the Japanese pilots must have seen this anti-aircraft machine gun position, and they were going to blow up this place!

"You come back to me! Escape from the battle, don't count to kill! I screamed, pulled out my pistol and shot him three times in the head.

This guy was obviously more afraid of airplane bombs than my pistol, he only paused for a few seconds, and then saw that the bomber was approaching, and he ran faster, completely desperately.

He was frightened, this young man probably didn't touch the machine gun many times, and for some reason, he was appointed second lieutenant platoon commander of an anti-aircraft machine gun company.

Today, the Japanese bombers suddenly appeared, and they surrounded this place, continuing to bomb indiscriminately, such a scene, such a deafening bombing made his psychological defense completely collapse!

I shouted angrily, "One more run, I'll kill you!" ”

When he was about to burrow into the anti-artillery hole, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, pulled the trigger, and bang! A shot knocked him to the ground.

At the same time, the Japanese 97 bomber has already appeared above the anti-aircraft machine gun position, and in the next minute its bomb magazine will be opened, and a 60-kilogram bomb will raze this place to the ground!
