Chapter 800 Stars in the Sky, Bright and Shining (II)

Jingjing led Huang Wei and the guard squad to stay in Lunan, mainly to use the camera to leave battlefield information so that she could go back to write photo news.

Although she also joined the army on the Long March, she can be regarded as the old Red Army and the old Eighth Road, but in such a powerful team as the Red Seventh Army and the instructor, she is a talent, a pen, a great intellectual, and a baby bump in the army. Now, the Japanese aircraft group is bombing indiscriminately overhead, and if you are not careful, you may be targeted by the Japanese aircraft, Jingjing has been in the army for so long, and today can be regarded as a real experience of blood and fire.

Li Xiaoshuai's feat of leading the Second Guard Company to attract the attention of the Japanese aircraft group and cover the concealment of the baggage convoy completely infected Jingjing, she originally wanted to catch up with the Second Guard Company and take photos and interviews on the spot, but unfortunately Li Xiaoshuai's speed was too fast, and Jingjing and they couldn't catch up. As a result, Jingjing, Huang Wei and the guard squad became a field ambulance team, and the first thing they encountered was the martyrs and wounded of the second guard company.

Just now, Li Xiaoshuai and the others whipped their horses and shot while galloping, diverting the attention of the Japanese planes. However, the use of cavalry to attract Japanese aircraft groups is itself an act akin to suicide, and the degree of casualties can be imagined.

Jingjing was dressed in a military uniform, with a Leica camera on her chest, a leather bag on her back, a small pistol in her waist, and a German-made submachine gun that Liu Yimin gave her before departure.

Huang Wei did not wear a military uniform, her upper body was short-sleeved in blue lake silk, a lake blue skirt, and she carried a pistol given to her by Liu Yimin on her body, and a Leica camera in her hand.

There are a total of 12 people in the guard squad for Sui Jingjing, there is a crutch machine gun, a 81 automatic rifle for each of the main and deputy squad leaders, and the other fighters are all one-color 38 big covers.

The first martyr he met was the commander of the second company of the guard, and the young man was from Luxi, who looked like a big girl, and was very quiet. At this moment he fell under the war horse, and the little army horn fell beside him.

Jingjing, the soldiers of the first battalion of the guard, basically knew each other, and when she saw that the trumpeter, who blusheed as soon as she spoke, died, Jingjing ordered the entire guard squad to dismount, lift the body of the war horse away, drag the body of the trumpeter out, and close her eyes.

Huang Wei is different from Jingjing, although she has written so many war communications, in fact, this is the first time she has been on the battlefield, and when she saw the martyrs who died, she cried profusely.

After Jingjing and the soldiers placed the trumpeter's body, they looked up and saw Huang Wei crying, and after thinking about it, they asked the two soldiers to escort Huang Wei to Niushan Town and join the troops there.

During the war years, people's willpower was relatively strong, Huang Wei cried for a while, then stopped crying, and said to Jingjing: "I'm not leaving." I'm with you in the care of the wounded, interviews. ”

Seeing that Huang Wei was reluctant to go, Jingjing said something good, so she led Huang Wei and the soldiers to rush to the defense line of the first regiment and the first regiment in the east of Niushan Town.

Here, Jingjing and Huang Wei used lenses and brushstrokes to record the real scene of the bloody battle between the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese invaders.

After Wang Laohu led the 1st Special Operations Squadron and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment to retreat from Baitabu, the Japanese army had already been completely deployed. Lu Nan was the main force of the Sixth Division, with brigades and squadrons as units, guided by tanks and armored vehicles, and attacked frantically along highways, country roads, and rural squads. The blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army formed a triangular formation with battalions, companies, and platoon units, relying on villages, green gauze tents, and ditches, and resisted tenaciously without fear.

Jingjing and Huang Wei took the guard squad to hide the war horse in a green gauze tent, and the two of them took pictures and recorded them, and devoted themselves to their work.

Jingjing's hidden position was easy to observe, and in front of them to the left, there was a small village, where a company of the Sect was stationed. When the Japanese attacked, first two tanks pressed the anti-tank mines, boom boom two loud bangs, the two tanks of the little devil whimpered a few times, and then crawled where to pretend to be dead dogs. Immediately after the Japanese infantry stepped on the mine, and when the dust from the mine explosion cleared, Jingjing took a photo of a Japanese soldier lying on the ground for help after being injured, and took out his notebook, on which he wrote: "The Japanese army stepped on the mine in front of the village guarded by the Eighth Route Army, and this is the scene of Japanese tanks and soldiers being blown up and injured by mines planted by the Eighth Route Army." ”

A team of Japanese planes roared like red-eyed gamblers and pounced on the small village. Fierce gunfire suddenly erupted in the village, and a string of bullets shot into the blood-red sky of the sunset, and a Japanese plane crashed into the fire net and exploded in the air. Jingjing quickly pressed the shutter and recorded the scene of the explosion of the Japanese machine. Huang Wei was not to be outdone, the camera chased a Japanese plane that was fleeing forward with black smoke, and took several photos in a row.

There were so many Japanese fighters that they frantically dropped bombs and turned the small village into a sea of fire. Jingjing pressed the shutter and recorded the atrocities of the Japanese army. And wrote in the small book: "After the crazy Japanese machine suffered a loss, they threw white phosphorus bombs at the village, turning the originally peaceful small village into a sea of fire. Since the Japanese invasion of China, how many cities, market towns, and villages have been destroyed, and how many families have been wiped out. ”

In the small village, which had become a sea of fire and ruins, the Eighth Route Army was still fighting the Japanese army. Jingjing's camera truly recorded the tragic scenes: the little devil rushed into the village and started a fierce battle for the village with the Eighth Route Army. The three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army faced the Japanese soldiers who rushed to them, and they didn't have time to load the bullets, so they raised their bright bayonets and threw themselves into the group of devils, fighting with the little devils. In the end, the three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army with Japanese bayonets stuck in their chests and their own bayonets were also sent into the chests of the little devils, relying on the support of rifles, standing next to the low wall at the head of the village.

The more tragic thing is still to come, a wounded soldier of the Eighth Route Army detonated an explosive bag and died with the little devil.

Taking such a photo, Jingjing's eyes burst into tears, leaving two soldiers to protect Huang Wei, and she led the guard squad into the village for reinforcements.

The little devil had already occupied part of the small village at this time, but the Eighth Route Army was in a triangular formation, and the Eighth Route Army defending the village could get strong support from the left and right flanks. That firepower, that tactical level, where will the little devil be the opponent? Where will Jingjing need reinforcements.

Jingjing's attack immediately attracted the attention of the little devils, and a small group of devils screamed and rushed towards Jingjing and them.

The battalion commander saw Jingjing's reinforcements from the telescope, for fear that she would lose, he hurriedly ordered the fire support company to open fire to intercept the little devil, and sent a flag to order Jingjing's guard squad leader to protect the chief to move quickly and not affect the main battle.

Jingjing didn't expect that her reinforcement action would be reprimanded by the second battalion commander, and before she had time to think about it, she was pulled back by the guard squad leader.

After the fighters of the Eighth Route Army arrived at the battlefield, Jingjing and Huang Wei's eyes widened, this was the first time they saw the fighters of the Eighth Route Army fighting with the Japanese planes. When the fighters of the Eighth Route Army shot down the Japanese plane, the two outstanding news soldiers took extremely valuable photos, and Jingjing also wrote the following words in her notebook: "At dusk, twilight is rising, and the Japanese planes are still raging, frantically dropping bombs and strafing. At this time, a team of silver-white war eagles descended from the sky and pounced on the Japanese plane, which was frantically dropping bombs and strafing. This is our fighter plane, and it is the heroes of the Eighth Route Army Aviation Brigade who are destroying the invaders! ”

After dark, there was no way to take pictures, and this time should have been a quick retreat. But as soon as the cannon of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army rang out, Jingjing immediately realized that our army was about to launch a counterattack, and took Huang Wei and the guard squad to get on the horse and rush towards the direction of the artillery group. After all, she is an old Red Army and an old Eighth Road, and she knows that after the shelling, it will inevitably be an earth-shattering armored assault of our army. She's going to record the heroes of the armor.

By the time they rode their horses to the north of the road with flashlights, the armored group of the 1st Brigade had already launched a surprise attack, and the traffic was rolling, the cannonballs were rumbling, and the shells, bullets, and headlights rendered the night like fireworks and lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival.

When has Huang Wei ever seen this kind of scene, her eyes were round, her small mouth couldn't be closed when she opened it, and she praised it repeatedly: "Mighty teacher, mighty teacher!" ”

Jingjing was also intoxicated, but she had seen the power of the armored assault during the Battle of Luzhong and the Battle of Taixi, and she was not as surprised as Huang Wei. I saw her flashlight, and wrote in the notebook: "The crazy Japanese army never dreamed that as soon as it was dark, the Eighth Route Army launched an assault. Under the cover of the artillery group, the armored group of the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale counterattack against the devils from the north of Longhai Road. The artillery is roaring, the tanks are roaring, the motors are roaring, the machine guns are singing, the end of the little devils has arrived! ”

By the end of the armored group's assault, the logistics baggage convoy arrived at Longhai Road one after another, and the stretcher team and the health team were busy treating the wounded. Soon, the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army withdrew one after another. Jingjing knew that it was time for her to withdraw, and she didn't know how anxious Tang Xingying and the others would be if they found out that they had left the team without permission!

Originally, Jingjing and the others should have retreated north directly with the troops of the First Brigade and caught up with Tang Xingying and them. Who knows what this girl thinks, she actually advanced to Niushan Town, where she was going to wait for the rearguard led by Liu Yimin and retreat north with Liu Yimin.

As soon as the blocking troops on the east and west flanks of the Eighth Route Army withdrew, the Japanese attack speed was faster. In this battle, the Japanese army originally laid traps, and was sure to flank the Eighth Route Army and severely damage the main force of the instructor, but the result was that it was deployed in advance and covertly mobilized the army, and planes, artillery, tanks, armored patrol cars, and trains went into battle together, fighting back and forth, but the result was not only to destroy or defeat the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but also to lose the main force of the 22nd Wing and the 35th Wing, which were independently mixed, and lost a lot of fighters. Shanshan Yuan even angrily scolded Yamashita Fengwen Rice Bucket, Suematsu Shigeji stupid, and Inaba Shiro on the telegram for being vain and all of them were in charge of Baga Baga.

Seeing that the fish were about to return to the sea, Shiro Inaba, the commander of the 6th Division, and Shigeru Suematsu, the commander of the 114th Division, who were the commanders of the former enemy, were both red-eyed, and strictly ordered all units to quickly attack together, catch up with the Eighth Route Army, and destroy the Eighth Route Army.

By the time Liu Yimin led the 2nd Cavalry Regiment to withdraw to Niushan Town, the Japanese heavy artillery brigade had already arrived in an area less than 10 kilometers away from Niushan Town and began to shell Niushan Town. Moreover, I don't know if the little devils were prepared or what was going on, they actually mobilized sappers to repair the bombed-up railway west of Hongzhuang in a short time, and the armored patrol cars and trains of the little devils started and rushed towards the front line of Niushan Town.

At this time, the entire battlefield was in chaos. In order to catch up with the Eighth Route Army and reap some gains, the Japanese army attacked Niushan Town with artillery and tank guns, intending to leave the rear guard of the Eighth Route Army behind and destroy it, and the battlefield was full of rumbling artillery and flying shrapnel.

When Liu Yimin entered the town, he met Jingjing standing at the entrance of the town and waiting, and after a closer look, Huang Wei was also there, the faces of the two people were inexplicably crimson under the fire, and Jingjing also asked Liu Yimin in a low voice: "Are you back?" ”

Liu Yimin was not angry, and opened his mouth to say: "Play the piano randomly!" Who told you to stay? Withdraw now! ”

Full of hope in exchange for a scolding, Jingjing held back her tears and didn't let her stay, saluted Liu Yimin, turned over on the horse, and ran forward behind Liu Yimin.

After Jingjing's sacrifice, Liu Yimin regretted it, he carefully recalled the scene when he and Tang Xingying were separated, and then remembered that he let Tang Xingying ride with his mother, tied Ping'er behind Zhao Xiaoman's back, and tied Ping'er behind Li Xiaoshuai's back, will this move cause Jingjing's cranky thoughts, causing her not to follow Tang Xingying, Zhao Xiaoman and the command personnel to retreat north and stay in Niushan Town to wait for herself? As soon as he thought of this problem, Liu Yimin hated himself for being stupid, and he didn't consider Jingjing's feelings at all, if he put He'er next to Jingjing or put Ping'er not tied behind Zhao Xiaoman's back but directly handed over to the first company commander, would the tragedy be avoided?

Of course, this is just an idea when Liu Yimin blames himself, who can know what Jingjing really thinks? She is a hero, maybe she will not be like Liu Yimin's blind thinking, but will return to the battlefield without hesitation and fulfill her duties as a reporter and a soldier!

Liu Yimin originally planned to make a blockade in Niushan Town, teach the pursuing little devils a lesson, lead them by the nose and go north, all the way to the ambush circle arranged by the Fifth Brigade, eat part of it, and beat the little devils so hard that they did not dare to chase them into the base area. But now the situation has changed, the Japanese army is about to close the circle, the artillery fire is so fierce, the second cavalry regiment is cavalry, the target is big, once it falls into the encirclement of devils, it will be a heavy casualty ending. This is the elite of a hundred battles, and Liu Yimin is reluctant to let the troops lose like this. Therefore, Liu Yimin did not stop in Niushan Town, and retreated directly to the north with his troops.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the railway, they saw the two armored patrol cars of the little devil driving towards Niushan Town one after the other, and the lights were bright. Behind the Japanese armored patrol car, you can also see the lights on the Japanese locomotive. Needless to say, the little devils repaired the railroad and caught up.

Liu Yimin is not worried that the little devil's armored patrol car will stop the troops, because the railway in Niushan Town has been dismantled, and no matter how good the devil's armored car and train are, it can't leave the tracks. However, the Japanese armored patrol cars and trains were equipped with cannons, and the troops were bound to be discovered by the little devils when they passed like this, and if such a large target as the Second Cavalry Regiment was exposed to the fire of the devil's armored patrol cars and trains, the consequences could be imagined.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Liu Yimin resolutely ordered the 2nd Cavalry Regiment to march 500 meters to the east, avoid the fire coverage of the Japanese armored patrol vehicles, and then retreat north through the road.

The troops moved north, not far away, and supposedly there would be no problems. Who knew that at this time, a roundabout infiltration unit of the Japanese army had sneaked here and collided head-on with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

Under normal circumstances, the small Japanese army would not dare to provoke a unit of such size as the 2nd Cavalry Regiment. However, this is not a normal situation, as long as the retreat of the rear guard of the Eighth Route Army can be delayed, even if it is only delayed for 10 minutes, the large Japanese army may catch up, and at least it can carry out artillery strikes. Therefore, this small Japanese army, which was only the size of a squadron, actually set up machine guns and grenadiers in the darkness of night and opened fire on the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.

Liu Yimin ran at the front of the team, saw that he had run 500 meters, and was about to turn the horse's head and gallop north, when he saw a flash of light in front of him. Liu Yimin hurriedly leaned over, his legs clamped the horse's belly, trying to rely on speed to dodge the bullet.

No matter how fast a person's reaction is, it is impossible to be faster than a bullet, so when he heard the sound of a machine gun, Liu Yimin's war horse fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

is a good Liu Yimin, and he is not chaotic in the face of danger. At the moment when the war horse fell to the ground, Liu Yimin's figure flew up, pounced straight forward, and then rolled on the spot and shot out.

Not all of them have skills like Liu Yimin, and the sudden blow caught the ranks of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment off guard, and the marching ranks were chaotic.

While shooting, Liu Yimin ordered Chen Cunyi to command the troops to counterattack, eliminate the devil, and kill the bloody road.

After all, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment was the elite honed in the war, and after a period of chaos, the troops were divided into two routes, concentrating firepower and flanking the devils.

The machine guns spat tongues of fire on the horses, the grenadiers fired on the horses, and the powerful fire of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment beat the little devils to the point that they couldn't lift their heads. This was an encounter, and both sides had no positions to rely on, so the 2nd Cavalry Regiment naturally took advantage. The battle didn't last long, and when the cavalry entered the group of little devils, those devils could only be headless ghosts under the saber.

It's a pity that this hit exposed the target, and the devil's artillery fire followed. Liu Yimin hurriedly ordered the troops to disperse in formation, quickly cross the railway, and retreat north.

The shells were exploding, the horses were neighing, the Japanese were frantically firing artillery to intercept them, and the Eighth Route Army was rapidly retreating north. At this time, Liu Yimin suddenly heard Jingjing shouting, turned around and saw that Huang Wei's war horse fell to the ground, throwing the beautiful female reporter aside.

Liu Yimin was just about to circle back the horse's head and go to save Huang Wei, when he saw Jingjing jump off the horse and run to pull Huang Wei.

Liu Yimin shouted anxiously: "Jingjing, lie down!" ”

At this moment, another cannonball fell, and Jingjing suddenly pounced on Huang Wei's body, wanting to cover Huang Wei with her body.

When Liu Yimin ran to Jingjing and Huang Wei, Jingjing had already inserted a piece of shrapnel on her back, and the blood stained her clothes red.

Liu Yimin picked up Jingjing and shouted three times before Jingjing opened her eyes, glanced at Liu Yimin's face, and slowly closed her eyes.
