readx; As soon as Gao Fei looked up and saw him, he said: "The fire is very big at the south gate, don't let it spread, there are three battalions and a company of people fighting there, you go and see." www.biquge.info I have sent troops to fight the fires in several other places, and you can tell them that they don't have to worry, just save the fire in the area of the south gate. Most of the enemy planes today are throwing incendiary bombs, and if they drop one after another, they will immediately cover the sand before the flames are launched. Tell the brethren to be courageous, to be more composed, and to be more stable. Stability is the best countermeasure against the enemy and disturbing the order of the city. ”

As he spoke, he gently circled a pencil in his hand on the map, telling the lock post where there was a well to draw water, where the wide street could stop the fire, and where the narrow alley was where the house had to be demolished. After the explanation was finished, he asked, "All understood?" ”

The lock pillar promised to understand. Gao Fei said: "I'll tell you again, brave, calm, stable, go quickly!" ”

The lock pillar saluted and said goodbye, and saw that the street at the entrance of Xingjie Street had already filled the smoke into a cloud. In the pile of smoke and dust, I saw red light with some purple and yellow flames everywhere, and rushed for a long time.

The brothers at the division headquarters, carrying buckets of water and axes and cymbals, were quickly extinguishing a nearby fire. Just as he was looking, Cui Si took a long-handled axe, greeted him and said, "Report, there is a fire at the mouth of this alley, which has been extinguished." Only one room was burned. ”

Suozhu hurriedly said, "You and I go all the way to the upper south gate." ”

As he spoke, people had gone into the flames of the street. Cui Sizi didn't hesitate, put the handle of the axe on his shoulder, and then walked into the smoke.

It is very close to the upper south gate, and after two streets, it is the red flame that blocks the sidewalk. He stopped, took a look at the fire, and was about to step into a nearby alley. But a wall in front of him suddenly fell, and a large gap was immediately revealed in the gray flames.

Seeing that there were four or five brothers, leading ten people in civilian clothes to rush out, and the first one he recognized was Deputy Squad Leader Liu, he said, "How did you come out of here?" ”

The deputy squad leader said: "We have to stop the fire, use the alley next door, knock down a heavy house, and get out of here." Wang, help. ”

Just as he was saying this, there was a strange cry over his head, and an enemy plane was diving over, gurgling! There was a burst of machine-gun fire right overhead.

Cui Si squatted on the corner of the wall next to him, and when he turned his head to look, the wings of an airplane painted with a red plaster badge stepped over, clicked, a machine gun bullet, shot on the brick wall, splashing a burst of broken stones, and a brick was hitting the shoulder.

Cui Si couldn't help but scold, "Turtle son's!" But seeing that Deputy Squad Leader Liu had a long cymbal hook in his hand, he was pulling a beam inside the wall of others, and he didn't pay attention to the strafing on his head at all. Because he was like this, the brothers who came with him generally ignored it, and put up hooks to hook the pillars of the roof with their hooks.

He jumped suddenly, jumped straight to the bottom of the house, and with an axe in both hands, he slashed violently at a half-crooked straight post. Suddenly, someone shouted from behind: "Cui Yanzi, if you don't dodge, the house will fall and crush you to death." ”

With that, one hand dragged his hand and pulled it back. In this "Cui nephew" words, he had a sweet feeling. Usually in Wuhan City, there is only one person who calls me Wang Yuzi like this, and that person is Huang Jiumei, a Wuhan girl who often goes in and out of the division, will she appear on this occasion? But it dragged on so hard that he didn't allow him to look at people first, so he straightened up and turned two steps back.

He looked at it fixedly, and could not help but groan, this one he represented two kinds of surprise, the first was that the house was indeed rattling and falling to the opposite side, and the bricks and timber were jumping wildly, and the dust was everywhere; The second kind of surprise was that it was Huang Jiumei standing in front of her, and she was still pulling her sleeve with one hand. She lived in this artillery city, which she knew, but she didn't want to be here. She still had a very strong round face, big eyes, only one, which was unusual from the usual, she had taken off her robe, and wore an old-fashioned blue cloth women's short jacket with a large placket and a pair of green cloth trousers underneath. Her hair, not as long as before, was cut into a child's hairstyle, and the long hair at the back of her head was half a moon ring, revealing her white neck. The two long sideburns in front of the ears were separated from the overlay on the forehead, forming the round face into a moonlight.

Cui Si felt that there were only two things to do in the world: the first was to kill a few devil soldiers with his own hands every time he fought, so that he could go back to Shandong early; The second is to take a look at Huang Jiumei's moon-round face every day, he hasn't seen this face many times, so when he sees it, he forgets everything. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Ninth sister, are you okay?" Where's your mother? ”

Huang Jiumei pointed back and said, "That's not?" ”

When he saw Mrs. Huang standing next to a pair of flat buckets, her fat body and tall figure rolled up the sleeves of two green cloth short jackets, revealing two thick arms, and crossed her waist tightly. Her mother and daughter have a round face, but her face is round and flat, her eyes are less than half of the ninth sister, and there are many crow's feet radiating from the corners of her eyes.

Cui Si called out to Auntie from afar. Aunt Huang said: "Let's put out the fire, don't talk nonsense." There is a well at the other end of the alley, and there is a ready-made bucket on the edge of the well, you go and fetch me two loads of water, and give the axe to the ninth sister. ”

As she spoke, she lifted her catfish head green cloth shoes and kicked the empty bucket twice, Cui Si in addition to accepting the commander's order, that is, this Huang Auntie's words should not be discounted in the slightest, Cui Si is still thinking about the ninth sister in his heart.

He handed the handle of the axe to the ninth sister, picked up the empty bucket and left. At this time, there were seven or eight common people, all carrying water, and they came with buckets of water, and immediately a soldier took them, poured them into a large bucket, drew them with water guns, and injected them into the fire in front of them.

He who picks up an empty bucket will run to carry water. Cui Si also ran towards the well with a bucket, one was not careful, and collided with a person carrying water. The man scolded: "Cui Si, but you're unconscious? You make the plane panic and don't look at people. ”

This person's voice was sharp, but it was a sharp Hunan woman's voice, Cui Si looked at it intently, and only then did he see that this was the proprietress of the tofu shop, Sister-in-law Zhang. She's a pockmark, in her thirties, and she usually works like a man. Today she was wearing a men's green cloth jacket, and her hair was cut high above the back of her head. It's long, but it's not beautiful, and it doesn't look like a woman. So he squatted down with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you didn't leave either?" What about the boss? ”

She said, "Send the bullets." ”

Cui Sidao: "Okay, no ambiguity." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang said: "Just (eating) is also just right, doing is also done, and it is so risky (no) that any Hunan person will not be able to compare with you northerners." If you Sichuan people don't leave, Wuhan is ours, and we will go? ”

Cui Si wanted to say something, but someone behind him shouted: "This kid is still so much nonsense." As soon as he heard Aunt Huang's scolding, he smiled and picked up the bucket and left, he worked very hard, running back and forth to pick up more than a dozen loads of water. The firefighter turned the direction to water the water, and he also turned the direction to deliver the water.

As if the enemy had made up his mind to burn down the city of Wuhan today, the first batch of planes went, and the second batch came, and a lot of incendiary bombs were dropped. Just as Cui Si was delivering the twelve loads of water, he saw a small flame of green flames coming out of the corner of the alley on the left. He put down the bucket and picked up a small cloth bag containing sand on the side of the street, picked up three of them with both hands, and ran straight to it. Throw it away from afar, and cover it with blue light. Take two more steps and throw the two sandbags over.

Someone behind shouted hello, and when he looked back, it was Huang Jiumei. She smiled: "There is a burning bomb in the corner of the wall, no one has noticed it, I just saw it, and before I called it out, you crushed it." ”

Cui Si looked at her hand, took a sandbag each, took it, and threw it forward. Huang Jiumei said: "Nephew, don't get too close, that thing is very hot." ”

Cui Si finished throwing the sandbag, tilted his head to look at the corner of the wall, and really extinguished the burning bomb that was lying on the ground, and then turned around and smiled deeply at her.

Cui Si's smile is really out of human feelings, and he can still laugh in this terrifying and tense situation. But people like him have long put life and death out of the way, and with the many loyal and patriotic preaching of the officials, he has regarded birth and death as a natural act of life every day.

He was not afraid, and when he met the happiest thing in his life, he naturally wanted to laugh. In this way, Huang Jiumei also stood and glared at him, and asked, "Nephew, what are you thinking, or do you smile when you see people?" ”

Cui Sidao: "Why don't you laugh?" In this world, I care about me only when you and your aunt make friends, and you can't see the friendship until you share hardships. You say, don't you? ”

He said with a smile on his face. With his smile, he surprised another person, who was Dai Qiran, the mayor of Wuhan here. Immediately after the air raids, seven districts in the city burst into flames, and two districts merged to become five. He had already led the police to extinguish two fires.

Seeing that the fire was fierce at the upper south gate, he led more than a dozen policemen to rush here. After an hour of demolishing houses and pouring water, the fire had been extinguished, and he made his rounds alone. happened to meet the lock pillar, rushed forward and shook his hand and said: "Supervise the battle outside the city, put out the fire in the city, you are too hard." ”

The lock pillar said: "Mayor Dai, why don't you leave?" The division commander told you again and again that it was useless for you to stay in the city, why are you still here? ”

Dai Qiran touched the collar of his tunic with his hand, straightened his chest, and said with a straight face: "Although I am a sesame official, but the country has asked me to be the mayor here, and I have the responsibility to defend the land." Isn't it a life for you to be a soldier? You can keep it, but I can't keep it? Look at that young man, how brave. With a grin, he extinguished a flamorial bomb. He's probably an ordinary soldier, and he must have received much less education than I do, and you see there's a girl there. ”

Suozhu smiled: "That's my orderly Cui Si, it's a bit stupid, as for that girl, it's strange, there are still women in the city?" Ask them to ask. ”

As he spoke, he waved twice to the alley in front of him. At this time, the fire was much smaller, and everyone was more calm, Cui Si saw the beckoning, and smiled lightly: "Ninth sister, our battalion commander called you, in the past, that is Mayor Dai, and he is also looking at you." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push. That Huang Jiumei was not cowardly, and she ignored Cui Situi, so she walked over and bowed twice. Suozhu said: "What's your last name?" Why not follow the order to evacuate? Do you think this military city is a joke! ”
