In order to create panic, Japanese bombers have bombed several cities along the Nu River in recent days, so there will be many more anti-aircraft machine gun positions on streets like Linmeng to facilitate counterattacks at any time.

With the occasional air raid siren, coupled with the crowds of Qiu Ba on the streets, Linmeng now looks more like an out-and-out military camp. Some wealthy people in Linmeng were worried about the city being broken, so they simply fled Linmeng directly and went to Kunming to Chuxiong, away from the artillery-ridden border. The poor have nowhere to go, and they are reluctant to buy a little family property, so they can't go anywhere, only hoping that their country's army can hold the river defense, and only hoping that when they sleep in their beds at home, shells will not suddenly fall from the sky.

The war has destroyed everything, factories have shut down, shops have closed, our economy has been hit hard, prices have skyrocketed, the numbers printed on banknotes are getting bigger and bigger, but there are fewer and fewer things to buy, and people have even begun to barter to avoid the losses caused by the rapid depreciation of the currency.

The ripple effect of inflation has left more and more people in a situation where they don't have enough to eat. If you don't have enough to eat, there will be trouble, and there will be a lot of beating the white wolf in the daytime, and sometimes there will be bloodshed just to snatch a steamed bun.

As the only battalion-level officer in the new 200th Regiment, I now have more work on my shoulders in the regiment, I can't always hang out with Duan Biao Mao Xiaodou and them, I spend more time in the command post with our odd commander.

Huang Wenlie, who has an upright personality, is really not an easy officer to get along with, he can often make people feel embarrassed and stressed, especially when there are only two of us, the atmosphere is so oppressive that it makes people feel a little difficult to breathe. However, Huang Wenlie's excessive uprightness also has an advantage, that is, he will never withhold the food and salary of Qiu Ba. You must know that deducting food and salary is one of the most convenient means for officers to collect money today, and commanders like Huang Wenlie are absolutely rare in our military system, and the words "making a fortune as an official" are not reflected in him at all.

Even so, our military salaries can't keep up with skyrocketing prices, so Yinghui spent almost all of her money on the first time, buying as much food as she can store - she has been scared by hunger.

Today I took leave with Huang Wenlie for a very simple reason: "Some trivial family matters need to be dealt with. ”

Huang Wenlie only waved his hand, he didn't bother to talk to me because of this kind of thing, and he unmistakably showed contempt for a soldier like me who put family affairs above state affairs.

I didn't care about his contempt, I was very relaxed now, one was that I could temporarily leave this rat-hole-like command post, and the other was that I could see Yinghui again, we hadn't seen each other for a long time since we last met.

Yinghui's home is in a sense my home, the only place I yearn for in this foreign land.

When I knocked on the door, Yinghui was pleasantly surprised: "Brother An, you're back, if you haven't come back for so long, I'm going to see Longwan to see you." ”

Like my husband who hadn't been home for a long time, I casually looked around: "Don't go, it's not a fun place with bullets flying around, and it will make the brothers laugh at it." ”

There are more small objects in the house, and women are like this, no matter how rich or poor they are, they always like these bits and pieces.

"If you don't want me to go, I won't go. I'm just worried about you, a few days ago, I went to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, bless you and you are safe. Ying Hui said as she went to prepare the meal.

It is a happy thing to be cared for and remembered, I lay on Yinghui's bed, listening to Yinghui talk about her various trivia, I listened, listened with a smile on my face, and then I fell asleep.

The lack of sleep for several days and nights in a row made me almost exhausted to the limit, and I finally fell asleep peacefully in Yinghui's voice. There was a faint sound of gunfire in my sleep, and I said to myself, it's a dream, let's sleep a little longer. And the sound of gunfire became more and more real, and I sat up suddenly, and Yinghui, who was sitting next to me, was startled.

"You really look like a child when you sleep, your fists are clenched so tightly that you can't break them." Ying Hui said with a smile.

I listened attentively: "Where to shoot?" ”

Yinghui: "I hear gunfire every day, I'm used to it, I don't pay attention to where it is......"

I listened to it for a while, and the sound of guns became more and more dense, and such a dense sound of guns and cannons was not as simple as the usual cold guns. I picked up my clothes and ran out, ran two steps and came back, took out the military salary that had just been paid on my body and put it on the bed, and then said to the panicked Yinghui: "Stay at home, don't go anywhere!" Then he ran out without looking back.

Behind him was Yinghui's anxious voice: "Brother An, you have to be careful......"

I ran out of Yinghui's house and into the street, where there was a chaotic crowd of people, and many soldiers followed the people to the east in a panic.

I stopped a soldier: "What are you running blindly with the common people!" What's going on with this gunshot? ”

Soldier: "Sir, the Japanese have crossed the river!" Run! ”

I thought to myself, how is this possible! The Japanese were still building positions in full swing early this morning, and it seemed that they were simply going to make long-term plans for long-term peace and stability, so why did they suddenly cross the river?

I ran a few steps and saw a guy on a bicycle speeding past me, and I pulled him off the bike: "I need your car in wartime!" After speaking, he ignored his stunned face, flew into the car and pedaled all the way back to the Longwan position.

As soon as he arrived at the position, he was confronted by Huang Wenlie who was in a hurry, and he almost didn't even turn his head: "Take your people, organize a counterattack immediately!" ”

I ran to my position and saw Wang Sibao: "My gun!" Bring me my gun! What about Duan Biao! ”

Wang Sibao was just about to get a gun, but he was called back by my latter sentence: "Battalion commander, I didn't see Company Commander Duan, it's all messed up!" ”

I looked out of the trench and saw that the beaches of the Nu River were full of Japanese troops, and their artillery support was bombarding our positions non-stop.

Duan Biao came out of the smoke with a gun: "Anzi, there are more than 100 devils under us, all of them have fucking bullet shields, and they can't hit this group of grandsons!" ”

The Japanese army temporarily changed the equipment for crossing the river into a bullet shelter plate, and ordinary rifle bullets really did not cause much damage to them.

"Turn all the grenadiers over!" I shouted.

The continuous firing of the grenadier tom tom was regarded as a temporary delay in the Japanese attack.

Duan Biao fired more than a dozen shots, and finally knocked down a Japanese soldier, scolding: "Mom, I'm going to be tired to death if I fight like this!" ”

Huang Wengale appeared behind us in a hurry: "Battalion Commander An, start a charge immediately!" If you continue to fight like this, when the devils rush to the position, you won't be able to kill ten or eight people! ”

We know that what he said has a point, and the best way now is to engage the Japanese in a hand-to-hand battle and use the numerical advantage to change the tide of the war.

"Brethren, all bayonet! Follow me! "I threw down my sniper rifle and replaced it with a neutral rifle.

Hundreds of hills and eight shouted, jumped out of the communication trench, rushed to the Japanese troops on the river beach, I turned back to the artillery and shouted: "Three hundred meters in front of the battle!" Shelling at once! ”

Before I could finish my words, the cannon was already ringing, and the shells exploded in the Japanese group. This is not my order, this is the artillery cover that Huang Wenlie has arranged in advance, I have a trace of admiration for this regiment commander who is not in a panic, and before a second of admiration, Huang Wenlie has already crossed over to me with a rifle in his hand and rushed to the Japanese army.

The regimental commander hit the charge?

I froze for a moment, and there was already a Japanese soldier who rushed over with a scream, and Duan Biao directly hit it with an oblique stab, and overturned the Japanese soldier with a bayonet, and did not forget to turn around and reprimand me: "In a daze on the battlefield, you kid is tired and crooked!" ”
