In Chapter 30, the war begins

Soon after Li Shunsheng and his soldiers entered the Shanhaiguan, a shrill sound of 'hissing' sounded outside the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt this time, everyone in Shanhaiguan knew that war was inevitable.

Several explosions rang out not far from Shanhaiguan, which was a test-fired artillery shell by the Japanese. These shells were not for the pursuit of lethality, but to determine the landing point of the shells, and then used to adjust the elements of the artillery to improve the hit rate of the subsequent shelling.

Sure enough, after waiting for about two minutes, the hissing sound caused by the 'hissing' shell cutting through the air resounded throughout Shanhaiguan, and Li Shunsheng saw a soldier standing stupidly in place, at a loss.

"Lie down, idiot." Li Shunsheng immediately rushed forward and the other party fell to the ground, and a cannonball fell directly on their side, directly blasting a house into pieces, countless debris fell on Li Shunsheng's body, and the turbulent and scorching air wave made him almost unable to breathe.

"It hurts." He shook his head, his mind filled with 'buzzing' sounds, and his ears couldn't hear anything due to the effects of the explosion.

"Is the company commander alright?" At this time, a group of people rushed up and surrounded Li Shunsheng, although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could still know what they were trying to express from the shape of their mouths.

"Don't get around here, dodge their shells first...... Let's see if there's anything wrong with that little ghost. Li Shunsheng vaguely remembered the recruit who was pressed to the ground and rubbed by himself, so he ordered someone to bring him over.

"Company commander, this little ghost is fine, but he has scratched some skin." The deputy company commander ran over with the new soldier who was scratching his head in one hand.

Li Shunsheng and the others hid at the foot of the city wall, saying that this is one of the safest places in the current situation, because they will not fall down at a ninety-degree angle.

"Kid, are you alright?" Li Shunsheng said to a recruit who didn't look much younger than himself.

"Report sir, I'm fine, but my brain is a little dizzy." The recruit said gratefully, if Li Shunsheng hadn't saved him just now, he would have gone underground to report now.

The deputy company commander put his arm around his shoulders and looked quite enthusiastic: "Little ghost, what's your name?" “

"My name is Ergou, Jiang Ergou." Jiang Ergou smiled hesitantly, and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"Ergou, good name." The deputy company commander smiled.

"That's right, people in my township say that my name is good, and it can ward off evil spirits."

"Hahahaha......" A group of people suddenly laughed, Jiang Ergou found that everyone was laughing, and then he also laughed stupidly.

At this time, the sound of artillery was finally heard, and it was seen that the entire Shanhaiguan was now almost in ruins, and if it had not been for the evacuation of all the residents here in the past few days, this round of shelling alone would have killed countless people.

At this time, many soldiers ran to the city wall under the leadership of their respective commanders, and began to arrange defenses, and the first wave of the Japanese offensive was approaching.

"Company commander, when are we going to go?" The deputy company commander asked, "I'm going to take the brothers to put out the fire first." ”

Li Shunsheng shook his head, these fires have their meaning of existence: "No need, it's not bad just like this, we will be on it in an hour, so it's better to sit here honestly and recharge your energy now." ”

"Yes"

The Japanese did not intend to completely wipe out the defenders at Shanhaiguan in this attack, because it would be easy to lose too many soldiers' lives. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, they chose to encircle three and lack one, and only attacked in the east, west, and north directions, and did not have any intention of sending troops to set up ambush points outside the south gate. They almost shouted their intentions and told the national army guarding Shanhaiguan: We don't want to fight with you, as long as you withdraw from the south gate, we will be safe.

If it were other troops, they might have retreated with the intention of reducing losses, but for the Northeast Army, which was burdened with great shame, they had no way to retreat, and all they could do was to risk their lives to fight with the Japanese. If they retreat, what face do they have to continue to call themselves the Northeast Army, which is the glory of the soldiers, and it needs blood and lives to defend.

Soon an hour passed, and a company that had gone up before finally survived Li Shunsheng after losing nearly a third of its soldiers.

"Brother, please." The previous company commander saluted Li Shunsheng, and then retired tiredly.

"It's time for us to get on, Ergou, you're not a member of our company, so you don't have to go with us." Li Shunsheng shouted, and everyone stood up, ready to step on the flesh mill on the city wall.

Jiang Ergou was confused for a moment, and then caught up with Li Shunsheng and them: "I don't remember that I am from that unit, since it was the commander who saved me, then I am your soldier." ”

"Haha.... Okay, let's go up and hit the Japanese. ”

The moment they stepped on the city walls, everyone felt as if they had gone from the world to hell, and the mixture of the rich smell of blood and the smell of burnt human flesh almost made people feel the urge to vomit directly.

"Hurry up, everyone go to their combat posts, the devil is coming again." Li Shunsheng raised the gun in his hand, killed a soldier in the distance who was assembling troops in the distance, and then began to arrange the pre-battle preparation tasks.

"Wait for a few good marksmanship, pay attention to the commander and machine gunner who will fight the Japanese with me, and the deputy company commander will ask you to be in command." He shot and killed another soldier who was also assembling his troops.

"Yes." After all, Li Shunsheng did not know much about the soldiers in this company, so he did not give blind command stupidly, but gave the command to the deputy company commander who was more familiar with this unit, so that this team could play the greatest role.

"Company commander, what am I doing then?" Jiang Ergou leaned over to Li Shunsheng's side and asked.

"And what will you do?"

"I'm good at shooting, and I can hit people from a long distance." Jiang Ergou gestured with his hand, trying to tell Li Shunsheng how far he could hit the target.

"Try" Li Shunsheng handed the gun in his hand to Jiang Ergou.

It can be seen that Jiang Ergou likes the gun in his hand very much, because Li Shunsheng's gun is originally German-style, and it belongs to the exclusive equipment of the Central Teaching Corps, so it is naturally not a parallel import, and it is very normal to be liked by soldiers.

Seeing that Jiang Ergou had carefully groped for a while, he raised his gun and aimed at a Japanese soldier who was setting up a mortar, and after a 'snap' gunshot, the artilleryman fell in response.

"Awesome" Li Shunsheng couldn't help but exclaim, even he was not sure that he could hit such a long distance, it seemed that he had picked up a treasure: "This gun will be given to you, you have to protect it, this is my baby." “

"Yes, sir." Jiang Ergou happily hugged the gun, happily showing a mouthful of big white teeth.
