On the main peak of Rabbit Mountain, in the bunker headquarters of the 28th Regiment, the new regiment commander Fan Shisheng looked at the smoke-billowing position in front of him with a telescope, frowning, and extremely anxious in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It has been three hours since the outbreak of the fighting, and the wired communication between the regimental headquarters and the front-line positions has been completely cut off, and the wireless connection has been intermittent. The battle was getting bigger and more intense, but up to now, apart from having a little grasp of the situation of the first and second companies, he still didn't know anything about the situation on the position of the third company.

"Although the situation on the third side is not very clear, I am afraid that it will soon be over. Now, Wang Derong doesn't have many troops in his hands, so I think I'll send the Seventh Company up! ”

As soon as Fan Shisheng finished speaking, the chief of staff, who was also holding a telescope next to him, answered: "Seventh Company? Isn't it too early to send the reserves now? ”

"It's almost, otherwise the three companies won't be able to withstand it, and when the front position is lost, the Japanese army rushes in, and this battle will not be easy to fight!"

The chief of staff nodded, stopped talking, and turned to deliver the order. Because of the climate, the Air Force can't rush to support now, and there are still more than ten hours before the main force of the whole division arrives here tomorrow morning, but in these ten hours, I don't know how many outstanding officers and soldiers of the 28th Regiment will have to fall? Thinking of this, his heart was a little heavy.

……

At this time, on the position of the third company, the remaining officers and soldiers were basically wounded. Shen Shaoqing, the company commander who was missing an arm and was almost half covered with blood, was no longer an instructor who was already in human form and still had his last breath, and Tang Jingming and others who had four or five bandages all over their bodies.

"Shen... Company commander, you... Come here. At this time, the instructor called the company commander Shen Shaoqing: "You, come here, your ears are ......."

Shen Shaoqing, who was already sitting next to the instructor, hurriedly clung to it. Then, I heard the instructor whisper, "I... I am, no. In, in me... Mine, left, pocket! ”

When Shen Shaoqing heard this, he shook his hand and touched the instructor's body, until a long time when he touched a hard-shelled notebook, and then he put his ear on the instructor's mouth again.

The instructor smiled slightly when he saw the notebook, and then continued in an almost inaudible voice: "This... Inside, it's our connection... Lian's roster, and... As well as Tang Jingming and others, eighteen comrades... Application for joining the party, I... I've agreed, just... It's just waiting for you to sign it. Other... Outside the order, my suicide note, also... It's also in this, so I'm sorry for you... Excuse me, pass it on to my parents, and ask them... Please, forgive, forgive me, this unfilial son! ”

As soon as Shen Shaoqing raised his head, these tears were almost coming out, and after he turned his head to look at Tang Jingming next to him, he nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, I promise you!" ”

After speaking, with his remaining right hand, he opened the hard-shell notebook, turned to the page of the application for joining the party, bit the cap of the pen with his teeth, and signed his name. At this time, when I looked back at the instructor, I was no longer breathing.

"Now, how many people are there in the company?" Shen Shaoqing can't care about grief, and he can't be sad at this time.

"The 14 people in the company who could breathe and move, including the five seriously wounded, are all here now. The bullets were gone, there were six grenades, and there was one more explosives pack. I don't know anything else. Tang Jingming, who was sitting on the ground, said that he was the only one left in the platoon commander with long characters except for Shen Shaoqing.

"Good! 14 people! Just 14 people! Shen Shaoqing looked at the only dozen or so soldiers left in the company in front of him, but they were wounded, gritted his teeth and said: "I won't say anything superfluous, the key is still that sentence, today, swear to live and die with the position!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Seeing this, Shen Shaoqing nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked to a mass of tree stumps that had been ignited by shells, laboriously untied the green canvas bag on his body, and took out documents one by one to burn them. Obviously, he knew the current situation of the third company and was about to prepare for the final battle.

Tang Jingming stood up from the side of several seriously injured people and looked at Shen Shaoqing, who was burning documents not far away, and his heart was quite complicated. At this time, he had no trouble with this young company commander in his heart, he moved his steps with difficulty, came behind Shen Shaoqing, groaned slightly, and then said: "Company commander! ”

"Say!" Shen Shaoqing seriously dealt with the documents in his hand, and his tone was as crisp as usual.

"Give me the explosives?"

"What do you want that thing for?" Shen Shaoqing turned his head and asked with a frown.

Tang Jingming's voice was low, and he said: "Lao Zhang, a few of them want to use it, they let us carry it to the front position, and then they will stay there!" ”

"You, what did you say?" Shen Shaoqing spoke, his voice trembled a little, as a company commander, he naturally knew who Lao Zhang and they were. Lao Zhang is a Sichuan soldier, usually does not talk much, but his military skills are very outstanding, in the previous battle, he stabbed down five Japanese soldiers in a row, only to be stabbed through the stomach by the opponent with a bayonet.

"They said they couldn't live anymore, they didn't want to be prisoners of the Japanese, they just wanted to have a good time!" Speaking of this, Tang Jingming's tone began to choke a little.

"No, absolutely not! I can't abandon my brother like this! Shen Shaoqing also had tears in his eyes, but his tone was categorical.

"Company Commander......" At this time, Tang Jingming finally couldn't help crying: "They said, if you don't agree, they will end themselves now and don't cause us trouble!" ”

Shen Shaoqing's eyes were full of tears, and he opened his mouth, but now he couldn't say a word. I could only shake my hand, and I could only let Tang Jingming pick up the last explosive bag and grenade and distribute it to everyone, and I could only watch Xiao Zhang and them go to the front position......

After a while, Tang Jingming turned around and came back and sat down beside Shen Shaoqing. Two furrows were drawn on his face with tears, and in a hoarse voice, he said, "Company commander, I'm sorry!" ”

Shen Shaoqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled lightly, shook his hand again, and groped out a stack of letters from his pocket, sandwiched them in the hard-shell notebook left by the instructor, and said sternly to the young soldier surnamed Wu who was sitting not far away: "Xiao Wu, I will give you a task, the roster of our company, as well as the suicide notes of the instructor, me and other brothers in the company." You now take them to the back and hand them over to the battalion commander or regiment commander! ”

"No, company commander, I'm not going!" The soldier surnamed Wu shook his head without thinking about it. At this time, he was only willing to stay on the position of the third company with everyone and die on the position together.

"Go, Xiao Wu! You have to go back, we can't all fall here in the third row. Tang Jingming also spoke, he understood what Shen Shaoqing meant, that is, to leave a seed for Sanlian. So, after pointing to his thigh, which was constantly oozing blood, he persuaded: "You are the only one in our company who has complete legs now, if you don't go back, our company will be wiped out in the real sense." ”

"Let's go back! Xiao Wu, the company commander is right, our third company must leave a seed" Another soldier next to him also spoke.

Xiao Wu said with a crying voice: "Company commander, I ......"

"Fuck off! You want to watch Lao Tzu die without turning a blind eye, don't you? Hurry up, if you don't go back, Lao Tzu won't let you go. Shen Shaoqing got up and walked over, and stuffed the notebook into Xiao Wu's hand, he couldn't see his mother-in-law's soldiers the most.

Xiao Wu wiped his tears and left, taking the company's roster and the suicide notes of his comrades-in-arms, he couldn't beat his company commander and his comrades-in-arms.

Suddenly, Shen Shaoqing felt that the whole person was relaxed, he turned his head to look at Tang Jingming beside him, and said with a smile: "Tang Jingming, let's talk, I remember, you have never talked to me?" ”

“…… Yes. ”

Shen Shaoqing took a long breath and asked, "Before, you were so indifferent to me, was it because of Battalion Commander Wang Derong?" ”

"Not exactly."

"It's not easy to be a man, and it's not easy to be a soldier. Tang Jingming, let me tell you, I have never told others, I am the kind of person who is called after the official eunuch. Growing up, I never wanted to rely on my father, but I couldn't get rid of his influence everywhere. ”

“…… I understand. ”

"You understand? That's right, too. Shen Shaoqing was a little surprised, but he understood in an instant. Tang Jingming was born in a rich family, and in a sense, he is not the same kind of person as himself. Thinking about this, he changed the subject again and said, "By the way, didn't you say that there were six grenades?" Why were there only five when I distributed them earlier? ”

Tang Jingming smiled slightly and said, "I don't know, it's possible to let someone hide it." ”

"Damn, who did it, the last glorious bullet, why don't you know what to leave for me!" Shen Shaoqing didn't look at Tang Jingming, but looked at the battlefield in front of him, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

At this time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow at any time. The entire battlefield was full of corpses, because there were not many Chinese troops on the position, so most of the corpses were Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese attack came again, and the position of Lao Zhang's group of seriously wounded was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Although, with a loud "boom", the formation of the Japanese troops rushing into the position lacked a big gap, but the speed of their attack was not slowed down by this explosion.

On the position of the third company, a very sparse explosion began to sound, and it was the remaining soldiers, who were constantly pulling grenades and dying with the enemy.

"Company commander, it's going to be our turn next?" Tang Jingming reclined in the trench and spoke to Shen Shaoqing, who was sitting side by side beside him.

Shen Shaoqing didn't speak, he looked at the green smoke that kept coming out of Tang Jingming's arms, closed his eyes gently, and hummed: "A big river has wide waves, the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both banks, my family ......"

"Boom"

……

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Tang family in Beijing, the old man Tang Mengxuan, who was reading the newspaper in his hand in the hall, felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he did not recover until a long time later.
