XXXVI: God, save them

Enemy planes did not drop bombs in urban areas. They flew back in a circle there. Wang Ming was thinking about what the devil's plane wanted to do. What's the point of flying around?

So many planes are not here to show off their prestige, they have to do something. In the past, she didn't encounter a bombing of devils' planes, it was all in a residential area.

Because of the shelter of houses and trees, I can't see all the planes when the devil comes. This time it was different, she had a high terrain, few houses on the street, and a large vegetable patch behind the house.

She could see far and wide to the northwest. She covered the sun with her hands, like a person watching the excitement, watching the enemy planes fly closer and closer. A moment the enemy aircraft came overhead.

The fighters in the barricades began to shoot, and the shots rang out. Enemy planes seem to be afraid of shooting from the ground, they are rising.

She saw the enemy plane suddenly dive downward, and black bombs fell from underneath the enemy plane. Bombs like herring fishes fell on the barricades in rows and rows.

Her eyes were filled with gunsmoke. With the deafening explosion, the ground trembled violently beneath her feet. She could barely stand.

She shrunk her head back in fear, her legs becoming disobedient. She reluctantly retreated under the tree and grabbed the trunk, her legs limped, and she involuntarily crouched down.

The roar of the plane was mixed with the cries of wounded fighters in pain. The explosion of the bomb was heard the desperate groans of the fighters before they died.

A group of planes of the Chinese army flew away after bombing indiscriminately, and another group of planes of the Chinese army flew in with a roar. Enemy planes were bombing and strafing in turn.

Wang Mingming's eyes were full of fire, the city walls in the distance, the buildings near the city, the sky above and the barricades below were all covered with beacon fire and gunsmoke.

The explosions died down, the smoke cleared, the outline of the street became clearer, and several houses burned along the street.

The fat man's house that greeted Wang Mingming just now was also bombed. Half of the second floor was blown off. How is the fat man, alive!

The bombs destroyed the barricades, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, some without heads, some without legs, some with shrapnel in their bellies, and their intestines and internal organs spread all over the floor.

The ground was littered with the corpses of [***] warriors, gritting their teeth and glaring. They are still fighting, beating the planes of the devils fiercely.

The wounded rolled on the ground in pain, their screams heart-rending in pain. They didn't stop shouting until they passed out.

Wang Mingming was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him. Her heart trembled. That's when she really understood that this was war. She was scared in the face of the cruelty of war.

She clung to the trunk of the tree and looked at the sky in fear. Incoherently shouted, "My God, what's the matter?" Why! You see, so many people died at once. ”

She saw the blue sky quietly overlooking the earth, she didn't see God, she didn't know if God saw it or not. She cried out, "God, save them!" ”

On the top of the city wall, military planes circled up and down, and machine guns frantically fired at the troops on the city wall. The troops above the walls returned fire on enemy aircraft.

Wang obviously couldn't see the situation on the city wall, and she clearly saw that the strength of the counterattack was getting weaker and weaker. She knew that the warriors on the walls could not hide from the strafing of enemy aircraft. The casualties must have been heavy.

Not far from Wang Mingming, several young men came out of the bunker. The white red cross armbands on their arms were particularly conspicuous on the battlefield.

They wore work caps and dark blue coarse cloth overalls, which were printed with white letters on what they wore to and from work. They are all young workers.

There are only a few factories in Nanjing that can issue work clothes. Not every worker gets work clothes. These volunteers can wear blue overalls and have a big face.

They were responsible for assisting the medical company in rescuing the wounded, and in groups of four, they braved the bombing and strafing of Japanese planes to storm the barricades.

They quickly carried the wounded to the stretcher, lifted the stretcher, ran desperately, and carried the wounded out one after another.

A stretcher rushed to the house on the side of the road, and they pulled out the wounded from under the collapsed wall, and the burning beams above the house fell and set the clothes of a volunteer on fire.

The volunteer rolled on the ground a few times, and another volunteer rushed over to help him extinguish the fire. Ignoring the burns on his body, the volunteer lifted the wounded and ran to the bunker.

The planes of the army took turns firing at the city walls, and then turned to strafe the troops inside the barricades. A devil's plane swooped down on a stretcher.

A volunteer behind the stretcher shouted, "Get down! The volunteer hurriedly put down the stretcher and lay down on the spot, and one volunteer pounced on the wounded, and he covered the wounded with his own body.

The volunteer threw down too fast, and her hat flew out, and her black hair fell on the wounded.

Wang Mingming couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing, it's a female volunteer." She saw her bright eyes, her fair face, she was so young and beautiful. And extremely brave. ”

Bullets stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground. There was an unpleasant harsh sound, and the enemy aircraft did not hit them. A shout: "Go!" The volunteers got up, lifted the stretcher and ran to the bunker on the side of the road.

The female volunteer was running, her long hair rising back, her white face flushed from the fierce running.

After a while they came out of the bunker again on a stretcher, and the female volunteer, wearing a steel helmet on her head, looked at the planes in the sky, bent down and rushed towards the barricades.

The volunteer's spirit of selfless sacrifice touched Wang Mingming, her mood calmed down, she was not as scared as she was just now.

Inside the bombed-out barricade, a wounded soldier rolled over on the ground and slammed into the enemy planes that were swooping down. His sudden fire prevented the enemy planes from dodging, and the devil's plane was hit by him.

The plane swayed a few times and smoked into a clearing in the distance, emitting a dazzling flash of fire and a deafening explosion.

The wounded soldier was about to deal with another enemy plane when the enemy plane's machine gun went off. As the gunfire passed, the wounded soldier gritted his teeth and glared at his last breath.

Wang Mingming looked at the motionless soldier, her legs fell to the ground, and tears welled up at once.

The company commander's correspondent ran to Wang Mingming, and when he saw Wang Mingming's face full of tears, he thought that Wang Mingming was frightened.

He said: "Third aunt, don't be afraid, with our [***] warriors, you will be safe." The bombardment of the Japanese army is over. I hope you should take advantage of this time to leave.

"After a while, the army will attack. The Commander wants me to inform you that this is already a battlefield. Yesterday, the company commander agreed that you should come to see the training, not because he wanted you to watch the battle. It's too dangerous for you to stay here.

"The commander is concerned about your safety, the commander has observed you with a telescope many times when the enemy plane bombed, you are an excellent citizen, and the commander agreed to let you come to see the training, and he is responsible for your safety.

"You need to get out of here. Let's go, don't let the chief worry about you. ”

Wang Mingming woke up from her panic and sadness, she said: "I came to see the training, and the company commander said that the army was going to attack, and I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect the enemy's plane to really come."

"I don't know if I see this thing in war, I am scared to death at first sight, I am not immersive, I don't know the cruelty of war. It's hard to imagine so many brothers dying in the blink of an eye. It's miserable!

"You warriors have been through a hundred battles, how did you survive! I now know that your life is a myth.

"I'm leaving here right away, the company commander and the brothers care about me so much, thank you for me. I'll go. She wiped tears from her face and stood up.

The correspondent said: "The road you came from is where the Japanese army attacked, and it is already very dangerous there, so don't go that way any further."

"This road to the north is Qingxi Road, you go north along this road, you can't go far, there is a temporary bridge on the west side of the road, you can cross the river from there and go home.

"You have to be safe, I'm leaving." He turned and ran towards the company's observation post.
