readx; At the railway station, the trains in and out of the station did not stop for three whole days and nights. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A large number of refugees gathered at the station, and the roof and sides of the train were crowded with panicked people, people grabbed the grooves and bars of the train with their hands and feet, and people kept falling on the train, and the cries for help were incessant

"Whew!" Another train headed south with a crowd of fleeing people.

"Don't squeeze, the old man and the child go first!" The soldier hadzi played with the crowd, but the crowd did not react under his teasing, and it was still crowded.

"Doll, you can go too!" A young man in civilian attire squeezed towards the soldier, who looked like a teenager, and he was a little annoyed by the youth's run.

"Go, go, who is Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the famous Taishan Army, Lao Tzu is the Tenth Army, have you ever heard that the Tenth Army is afraid of devils!"

This is a sign before a big war!

When the people of the whole city are safely evacuated, it will be safe to start a war here, even if it is broken and broken, it will be a dead city, a strong city that is difficult to overcome.

"The reward for the wounded is 10,000 yuan for the colonel, 5,000 yuan for the lieutenant major, 4,000 yuan for the lieutenant, and 1,000 yuan for the soldier. Those who are injured and do not retreat will be rewarded; Those who return from injury will be promoted. In the distance, Chang Fang, a lieutenant general of the Tenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, looked at the people who were scrambling to get on the bus, and there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.

"Throne!" A mighty man in the back saluted the officer, it was Ge Xiancai, the commander of the 10th Pre-10th Division of the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Fang Xianjue nodded: "Yipu, how are the people withdrawing?" ”

"It's almost gone, but there are still some people who are worried that after the battle, their belongings will be gone, and they have been refusing to get on the bus."

Fang Xianjue frowned: "The next order, the military division and regiment headquarters will set up a picket team, and those who are found to have stolen people's property without permission will be severely punished, and we can all do without our lives, and we can't ruin the honor of the 10th Army because of a little thing!" ”

"Yes!" Ge Xiancai nodded.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, the Ten Armies are in Hengyang, Hengyang City is here, and the property of the people must also be there, you can tell them this!"

"Okay, but there is still a problem with the military seat, we went out to accept the artillery battalion of the new artillery, starting from Guangxi, passing through several defense areas along the way, and the other party wants to intercept the artillery battalion!"

"I'll see which of them dares to intercept!" Fang Xianjue trembled for a while: "Whoever wants my artillery battalion, just give it to him, and also send a telegram to the chairman, and this Hengyang City will also be handed over to them!" ”

"The military seat is angry, in fact, the battalion commander Zhang Zuoxiang has asked the committee for instructions for this, and the committee has personally asked, they finally got out, this is not just back to Hengyang!"

"Coming back?" Fang Xianjue nodded: "Battalion Commander Zhang, I didn't misunderstand him, he is really wise and brave!" ”

"Yes, he swore that he was born as a member of the Tenth Army and died as the soul of the Tenth Army, and he would never let others swallow the artillery camp!"

"Life is the person of the Tenth Army, and death is the soul of the Tenth Army? That's a good thing to say! In my opinion, this battle is more than auspicious, and we should all have this belief! ”

"Yes, military seat, you must remember your humble duties!" Ge Xiancai seemed to understand the meaning of Fang Xianjue's words very much, and he lowered his head emphatically.

The battle mentioned by General Fang Xianjue refers to a campaign launched by the Chinese army, known as "Operation No. 1," aimed at opening up the communication line between China and mainland Southeast Asia.

At that time, in 1944, in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the Yue army concentrated about 500,000 mobile troops in the Chinese theater, almost all of which were mobile troops in the Chinese theater, and fought all the way from Henan, through Henan, Changsha, Hunan, and other places, until they reached Hengyang, Hunan.

At this moment, the 10th Army of the National Revolutionary Army under the name of General Fang Xianjue had just experienced the Battle of Changde at the end of 1943. At the end of last year, in order to rescue the 57th Division of the 74th Army that was surrounded by the Yue Army and fell into Changde, Hunan, an army of nearly 30,000 people of the 10th Army lost almost half of its people, and in the process of rescuing the 57th Division, the commander of the main pre-10th Division was killed, and the deputy division commander Ge Xiancai was shot only a few centimeters away from the heart, and other generals were also injured, and the entire pre-10th Division was basically lost, so a large number of recruits had to be recruited, but with the newly recruited recruits, the total strength is now less than 18,000 people, and at this moment Chairman Jiang of the Supreme Command, However, they were given an order to defend Hengyang for at least three days, and the 10th Army, which had not yet had time to reorganize, was faced with the challenge of concentrating almost all of the mobile forces of the invading army in China, and the comprehensive comparison of the forces and weapons of our two sides had exceeded 10 to 1, and in Henan, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Tang Enbo's army were about to collapse, and in Changsha, the Fourth Army, known as the Iron Army, had only resisted for a mere day, and the degree of danger could be seen, could they hold on for at least three days?

A month ago, in Hengyang, Fang Xianjue urgently packed up his things and prepared to go back to his hometown first, because of the discord with the commander of the war zone Xue, he would have to resign from the post of commander of the Taishan Army, and learned from his colleagues that he would be replaced by a close confidant of Chief Xue from Guangdong.

He's got everything.

Two weeks ago, however, an urgent telegram arrived at him.

He said that he gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and launched the No. 1 operation aimed at opening up the mainland's communication line in a desperate manner, Henan was in an emergency, Hunan and Guangxi were in danger, and the important surname of Hengyang, an important military town, came out.

"I've been dismissed, and I'm back!" Just when Fang Xianjue was leisurely, Chief Xue, who had tried his best to remove Fang Xianjue in front of the chairman, called.

"Brother Zishan, Hengyang is in danger" Chief Xue cheekily begged Fang Xianjue to stay in office.

Knowing why bother with the bitter fruit planted by the commander of the war zone himself, Fang Xianjue didn't want to wipe his ass for others, not to mention that he had already been exhausted by this person, and his teeth were itching.

"The army is approaching Hengyang, and Fang Xianjue is still angry with the commander of the war zone, and you ignore the national righteousness, what kind of system will you become?" At the critical moment, the chairman of the committee, who has always been heavy-handed, called in person, and the chairman lost his temper on the phone, and Fang Xianjue suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little excessive! ”

Yes, which is more important than national righteousness and personal grievances!

"The principal and students should do their best, die, and swear to live and die with Hengyang!" After waking up, Fang Xianjue swore an oath.

The next time, Fang Xianjue specially invited the Hengyang press to inspect the city, expressing his determination to resolutely defend Hengyang City, and when he shook goodbye to friends in the press, he pulled out the Bai Langning pistol on his waist: "You have witnessed, this may be my own pistol." Tears rained down as he spoke. At the military meeting that night, Fang Xianjue also expressed his attitude to all the participating officers that he would stick to Hengyang and win glory for the 10th Army again.

The night was hazy, Fang Xianjue crossed the Xiangjiang River with the participating officers after the press conference, and specially came to Yuelu Mountain to pay tribute to all the officers and soldiers of the 10th Army who died in the third Battle of Changsha and prayed in front of the cemetery: "Martyrs, rest in peace, Xianjue personally led the whole army this time to participate in the Battle of Hengyang, vowing to serve the country with one death, resolutely annihilate the Kou, reward the martyrs, and win glory for the Tenth Army. ”

Cry loudly. At this time, all the officers were drooling

The red heat bakes the earth!

The swarthy plasma, the mutilated body, the heat of the body, the smell of rotting corpses was suffocating.

Hirako was fiddling around in the pile of corpses, his stomach empty, and he hadn't eaten for five or six days.

A can scattered next to the body of Yue Jun caught his attention, and Pingzi crawled over with a rolling belt in joy, picked it up, and found that it was empty, "Dead devil, dead and still lie!" Pingzi kicked the devil's corpse hard in frustration, "Bang! The bottle rolled out, but that kick made the already weak Hirako stumble and almost fall out.

"Damn the devil!" Pingzi was indignant, thinking that because of the sudden appearance of the devils, he had nowhere to hide and almost became a foolish ghost under the fire, Pingzi was angry, and he didn't know where to get a force, and instantly stood up and kicked at the corpse of the devil.

The dead devil seemed to be about the same age as Pingzi, fifteen or sixteen years old, and the bloodstained face on his body and face still showed the immature outline.

In order to fight with China and the United States and other countries at the same time, manpower and material resources have been mobilized to the limit, and almost all men who can hold guns are forced to participate in the war.

"Help me, help me!" The ghost boy who woke up began to call for help, Pingzi beat him hard, and woke him up by mistake, as soon as the devil woke up, he subconsciously opened his mouth for help, Pingzi didn't understand the words, but the devil didn't die but it was greatly unexpected to him, his head buzzed for a moment, and he hid in the ditch for a few days to witness the two sides fighting here, he was used to seeing the ferocity of the devil, and the awakening of the devil made him a little helpless for a moment, and he sat on the ground with a bang.

The devil's eyes slowly opened, and he finally found Pingzi who was sitting on the ground in the afterglow, and suddenly his eyes opened like an electric shock, and the devil glared at Pingzi fiercely, and sat up with a crawl, "Yaga!" The young devil roared, and this roar roared Pingzi's soul out of the clouds.

"Mom!" Hirako hugged her head tightly, eager to find a hole in the ground and get in.

"It's over, it's over!" Pingzi felt that his body was crisp, and his whole body seemed to be disobedient, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't scream because he was afraid.

After a few days, he hid in a stinky ditch in a pond on the outskirts of the city, and finally saved his life, and several times the mud set off by the devil's bombs firmly sealed the exit of the ditch, making Pingzi unable to advance or retreat, but finally did not lose this life. For so many years, he has been asking for food alone, he has stayed in smelly and rotten places, and he is not afraid of how bad the environment is. But the earth-shattering explosion in the past few days is the first time I have experienced it, and the kind of bloody, life-and-death fight is even more unprecedented.

"Yikes!" Pingzi heard a heart-rending roar in a trance, he didn't know if it was the devil who pounced on him, white in, red out, he had been used to seeing this scene for a few days, he had been trembling and thinking, what would it feel if the long bayonets of the devils stabbed into his body? Today, he finally wants to experience it himself, and he imagines that he has become a Chinese soldier on the battlefield, and he also has a long roar

"Get up!" Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the buttocks, Pingzi slowly raised his head, twisted his buttocks, and found a bloodstained Chinese soldier standing behind him, baby-faced, thin, and his age should be fifteen or sixteen years old, the same size as himself.

"Who are you, am I dead!" Hirako stood up tremblingly, as if she hadn't recovered from the fear she had just had.

"It's good to be dead, wreck!" The soldier's eyes also glared at Pingzi, and he pouted in annoyance, and motioned for Pingzi to get up.

Pingzi smiled: "I thought I would be killed by the little devil!" ”

"If you don't come, you still have your life!" The soldier was angry: "This devil has only one breath left just now, look at your German surname, you have hands and feet!" As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Hirako's side.

Following the soldier's eyes, Hirako found that the devil who had just woken up was holding a broken blade in his hand and fell to the back, obviously trying to make an attempt on himself, but fortunately the soldier arrived in time.

"Big brother, thank you for saving my life!" Pingzi doesn't know how to be polite anymore, but he also knows what to do: "Don't thank you for your kindness, brother, I don't know how to repay you when I ask for food."

"Repay? I think it's free! The soldier turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back again: "What a big man, why don't you fight devils!" ”

"Fight devils? You saw it just now! Hirako's face couldn't help but flush.

"Come here!" The soldier shouted at Hirako with a sudden order.

"Whoa!" Pingzi leaned over.

"Straighten your back!" The soldier pressed on Pingzi's shoulders, and slammed it hard, Pingzi was struggling, and he also used his strength to push up, but this time the soldier didn't press Pingzi at all, he sighed: "Boy, you have mouth!" ”

"Whoa!" Pingzi is still stubborn.

"Don't belch, keep your chest up!" The soldier's tone was a little better than it had been before.

"Bum" Pingzi hadn't said the next belch word yet, and with a bang, his face was already burning with pain: "Fucking belch!" The soldier slapped Pingzi in the face: "Can't you fucking straighten your waist!" ”

Pingzi didn't say a word, covered one side of his face and couldn't help but retreat.

"What a retreat, nest!" The soldier shook his head and sighed: "Please, uncle, don't let me look down on you completely!" ”

Hirako shook her head, but nodded again.

"Forget it, I wanted you to be a person, but you're really," the soldier sighed, turning to leave again.

"Big brother!" Pingzi suddenly ran over and grabbed the soldier: "You, can you let me be a soldier!" ”

"You want to be a soldier?" The soldier's eyes stared at him for a while as if they suddenly brightened, and finally shook his head and pulled Pingzi's hand away: "I also wanted you to be a soldier just now!" ”

"Well, you know, I've always wanted to be a soldier, but, I just didn't have time."

"Always, I really want to" The soldier smiled bitterly: "You won't throw away your gun on the battlefield, damn it, these days, nothing is easy to do, it's easy to be a soldier, and there are still people who haven't had time to be a soldier!" ”

"It's a real big brother, everyone else is running outside, I ran to the city, I wanted to be a soldier, but before I entered the city, the devil came over, I had no choice but to hide in the smelly ditch!"

"Hiding there?" The soldier pointed to a deep ditch not far away: "How long have you been hiding?" ”

"Three days no, four days!" Pingzi snapped his fingers and calculated: "As soon as the little devil comes, he can't stop fighting, there are devils everywhere who can't move and have nothing to eat, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry, it's okay, I'm so hungry!" ”

"You" soldier suddenly seemed to be very excited: "You repeat, you want to be a soldier, do you really want to be a soldier?" ”

"I'm embarrassed to say, you see, look, you'll only watch!" The soldier pointed to the corpses of both sides everywhere: "You are blind, what are others doing, what are you doing, are you so afraid of death as a soldier!" The soldier roared: "You deserve to starve to death, starve you to death and you are worthless, the soldier killed the devil in front of your eyes for a few days, you didn't react at all, and you were embarrassed to mention being a soldier!" ”

"I know I'm afraid, I can't!" Pingzi's head bowed: "But I really want to be a soldier, and I hate devils too"

"You hate devils?" The soldier sneered: "Do you really hate?" ”

"Really, many brothers who want food like me have gone to serve as soldiers to fight devils, everyone says that devils are bad, and I want to go too, but I"

"You've got it, let's get your food!" The soldier still sneered and limped away, and Hirako wanted to step forward to help him, but he didn't dare.

In late June 1944, the [***] team defense area in the suburbs of Hengyang.

The sky was overcast, as if a rainstorm was coming.

There was a buzzing sound in the southern suburbs of Hengyang, which had just experienced the scorching heat, like a disturbing fly on a hot day.

One by one, dozens of Chinese soldiers silently carried the bodies of their fallen comrades out of the trenches.

Pingzi followed the soldier who was about his age all the way here, and he also smirked and paced over when he saw that the soldier was not silent to help carry the corpse.

"Get out of the way, who told you to follow!"

"I—I'm afraid!" Pingzi whispered: "Your brother is afraid that he will die of the plague!" He hesitated and pointed to the corpses of the dead soldiers.

"off, you're getting the plague!" The soldier shouted: "Roll as far as you want!" ”

Hirako was captured by the soldier's momentum and stood motionless.

But Pingzi's words inadvertently made an elderly officer next to him prick up his ears: "This brother, come here!" ”

Pingzi didn't know that he was calling him, he had never known anyone in all these years who would talk to him in such a good tone, let alone an officer.

"Rubbish, the chief is calling you!" The soldier of his age glanced at him: "Didn't you hear! ”

"Call, call me?" Hirako seems to be a little flattered!
