"That's right! Lao Tzu is not leaving! After that, Pang Tong broke free from his companion who was supporting him, climbed to Cao Yong's side with difficulty, looked at Cao Yong with a smile, and said: "Old Cao, we joined the army together back then, and today our two brothers are on the road together." It's also a kind of fate! ”

"Hahaha......" Cao Yong laughed loudly, tears flowed down the corners of Cao Yong's eyes, and said: "Two brothers in one life, brothers in this life, and brothers in the next life." ”

"You two bastards are so irresponsible, aren't you?! He actually took care of himself and didn't take us brothers! As soon as Cao Yong's words fell, Zhou Zhuqiao and several soldiers with missing arms and legs helped each other to the side of Pang Tong and fell to the ground. Zhou Zhuqiao stood up and looked at Zou Hai and Lin Xiaoshan and said, "We handed over Hong Yu to you, protect Hong Yu well." This is the last thing the brethren ask of you! ”

Zou Hai and Lin Xiaoshan glanced at each other, and the two of them knelt on the ground with a "poof", and the other uninjured people also knelt on the ground, and under the leadership of Zou Hai and Lin Xiaoshan, they kowtowed to these wounded. Standing up, Zou Hai said: "Leave the bullets and grenades of the submachine gun to them!" Let's go! After that, Zou Hai put the submachine gun magazine and grenade next to Cao Yong and said, "Brother, thank you!" ”

Cao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense. The devils are about to attack, so let's go! ”

Zou Hai nodded, turned around and picked up Hong Yu, and walked towards the lake under the protection of his uninjured companions.

Cao Yong and the injured people watched the figure gradually disappear from the surface of the lake, and Cao Yong said: "Brothers, eat up everything we can eat, and even if we wait for a while, we will be full of ghosts!" ”

"That's right! Brethren, we eat! With that, Pang Tong took out what he had eaten and ate it in a big gulp.

"The devil is coming!" Before Cao Yong could hurriedly put the last mouthful of compressed biscuits in his hand into his mouth, Lai Ming's voice rang out. Hearing the shout, the wounded hidden behind the tree poked their heads out to look at the little devil who was slowly walking towards them with a gun, stuffed the things they didn't have time to eat into their pockets, picked up the submachine gun next to them and started to prepare.

The words were divided into two ends, when Cao Yong and the wounded blocked the little devils, Hong Yu, who was on Zou Hai's back, was woken up by the lake. Hong Yu shook his still dizzy head, looked at the surrounding situation, and asked, "Where are we now?!" ”

Zou Hai was startled when he heard Hong Yu's voice and asked, "Head, are you awake?!" ”

Hong Yu replied, "Yes! Suddenly, Hong Yu reacted and asked, "Where are the wounded?!" ”

Hearing Hong Yu's inquiry, Zou Hai didn't know how to answer, and continued to swim forward without saying a word. At that moment, there were bursts of gunfire behind him. Hearing the gunshot, Hong Yu turned his head to look, looked left and right again, sighed, and said, "You let go of me!" I swim on my own. ”

"Hmm!" Zou Hai let go of the rope tied around his waist and said, "Head, where are we swimming?!" ”

Hong Yu was just about to speak, when he saw a devil patrol boat suddenly appear in front of him. Seeing this patrol boat, Hong Yu said, "Pull in!" Let's grab the boat first! ”

Just as Hong Yu approached the devil's patrol boat with his people, Cao Yong and the wounded repelled the devil's first wave of attack. Looking at the little devil who was slowly retreating, Cao Yong took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his back, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and changed a magazine.

Zhou Zhuqiao, who was lying on the side, put his hand into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette from it, picked up a branch that was still smoking, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and then handed the remaining cigarette to Cao Yong, and said, "Smoke one, it hurts!" ”

Cao Yong smiled at Zhou Zhuqiao, took the cigarette with a trembling hand, took out a cigarette from it, looked at it, kept one for himself, and then distributed the rest of the cigarette.

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Cao Yong asked, "Old Zhou, is there anyone else in your family?!" ”

Zhou Zhuqiao replied: "No! They're all dead! I'm the only one left. But to be able to go on the road with so many brothers today, I will die without regrets! After that, Zhou Zhuqiao took two puffs, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and looked ahead. Seeing that the little devil in front of him didn't react, he said with a smile: "The little devil is calm!" Not attacking for so long. Looks like we'll be able to get some rest. With that, Zhou Zhuqiao closed his eyes.

When Cao Yong heard Zhou Zhuqiao's words, his brows furrowed inadvertently, and he shouted, "Not good! We were fooled! Before Cao Yong's words fell, Pang Tong, who was lying next to Cao Yong, jumped twice unconsciously and said, "The devil is here!" ”

Zhou Zhuqiao opened his eyes abruptly and asked, "Where is it?!" ”

Pang Tong replied, "It should not be far from us!" After that, Pang Tong picked up the submachine gun placed on the side, gritted his teeth, climbed behind the tree on the other side, looked at the little devil who came slowly over with the cat's waist, took out a grenade, unscrewed the cover, pulled out the firing wire, and threw the grenade out with difficulty. The grenade drew an arc in the air and landed in the middle of the Japanese army. It exploded.

Seeing that their whereabouts had been exposed, the Japanese soldiers no longer sneaked around, and picked up their Type 38 rifles one after another, and slowly advanced towards Pang Tong's location while firing.

After about half an hour, Cao Yong and the wounded repelled two attacks of the little devils in succession. Taking advantage of the gap when the little devil stopped attacking, Cao Yong asked, "How many bullets do you have left?!" ”

Liu Tong replied: "Cao Yong, don't ask!" By now, the brothers have run out of bullets. There are also few grenades left. ”

Cao Yong said: "Brothers, use up all the bullets, leave a grenade for each person, and when the little devil comes close, we will die with the little devil!" Today we are going to earn enough money! ”

"That's right! We're going to make a good fortune! With that, Pang Tong pulled out the magazine of the pistol and pressed all the remaining five bullets into the magazine.

Five minutes passed quickly for others, but for Cao Yong and them, these five minutes seemed as long as five years. Just when Cao Yong and others were making the final preparations, the Japanese offensive began again. This time, the little devil was really beaten out of the real fire. As soon as they came up, the little devils first fired grenades with grenadiers, then suppressed them with light and heavy machine gun fire, and then sent soldiers to charge.

Although Cao Yong and the others worked hard, it didn't take long for their ammunition to run out. Seeing that Cao Yong and the others had no ammunition, the little devils became bold and shouted with guns to charge at Cao Yong and the others.

The moment the little devil's bayonet was inserted into Cao Yong's body, Cao Yong's face showed a hideous smile, and he turned his head and shouted at the surface of Dianshan Lake: "Head, brothers go first!" In the next life, I will continue to fight devils with you! After saying that, Cao Yong hugged the devil's gun and pulled off the grenade tied to his body.

As Cao Yong and the little devil died together, the others also followed Cao Yong's example, hugged the little devil who rushed over, and pulled the grenade on his body. Standing in the distance and commanding the troops to attack, Taniguchi Shaozo saw the Chinese soldiers who died with his soldiers through the binoculars, and unconsciously gasped and said secretly: "Who are these people?!" How can the will to fight be stronger than ours?! If everyone in the branch army is like these people......" Thinking of this, Taniguchi Shaozo didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

It didn't take long for the explosion of the grenade to end. Taniguchi Shaozo put down the binoculars and said to the herald beside him: "Pass my order and bury these soldiers!" ”

"Hey!" The herald answered and walked away quickly.

Watanabe Yukuma, who was standing on the side, asked, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, why do you give these people such a high courtesy?!" ”

Taniguchi replied, "They are the bravest soldiers I have seen since I came to fight. Then he asked, "Watanabe-kun, if all the people are like these people, do you think we can still defeat them?!" ”

Watanabe Yukuma replied, "Your Excellency Shaoza, these people are a minority after all. ”

"No, no, no!" Taniguchi Shaozo said three "no" words in a row, and then said: "Watanabe-kun, you underestimate these people too much. Although they are inferior to us in every way, they are a little better than us. ”

"Oh?!" Watanabe Yukuma laughed and asked, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, what is better than us in that person, listen to you!" ”

Taniguchi replied, "Their population is larger than ours!" ”

"Roar!" Watanabe Yukuma said coldly: "There are many people, then we will kill!" Kill until there are fewer people than us! ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" As soon as Watanabe Yukuma's words fell, Cao Changshan Goro walked in front of Taniguchi Shaozo with the armband he found on the Chinese soldier, respectfully handed the armband to the past, and said, "Your Excellency Shaoza, this was found from the soldier!" ”

Taniguchi Shaosa took the armband and looked at it, his brows furrowed. Watanabe Yukuma asked, "Your Excellency Shaoza, is there anything strange about an armband?!" ”

Taniguchi handed the armband to Watanabe Yukuma and said, "Have you ever seen a soldier wearing this kind of armband on the battlefield of Zhina?!" ”

Watanabe Yukuma took the armband and looked at it, shook his head and said, "No! ”

"Indeed! This is also the first time I have encountered this unit! Saying that, Taniguchi Shaosa pondered for a while, took the armband in Watanabe Yukuma's hand, handed it to Goro Yama Prefecture and said, "Report the situation here to the Wing Captain immediately!" ”

"Hey!" Goro Yama answered, took the armband and left quickly.

After Goro Yama left, Taniguchi Shaosa tightened the gloves on his hands and said, "Watanabe-kun, accompany me over there to have a look!" With that, Taniguchi Shaozo took a step.

"Hey!" Watanabe Yukuma responded respectfully and followed Taniguchi Shaosa.
