"Report, Huang Jingsheng, deputy commander of the 598th Regiment, just called, and the special service platoon of the regiment has galloped towards the Junkegang military airport in the north of the city! It only takes about an hour, and you can get to the airport to support the engineer regiment! ”

Listening to the report of the combat staff officer and looking at the combat sand table in front of him, Division Commander Dai Anlan's eyes widened, he turned around, glared at the combat staff officer, and shouted loudly: "What is Huang Jingsheng doing, he is also a veteran, he should know that even if I send other troops to support the Chengbei Airport, it will take at least three hours for the reinforcements to arrive." There are only a few dozen people in his spy platoon, so what's the use of rushing there, isn't this a sheep's mouth? Pass my order and tell Huang Jingsheng that their task is to hold the Echunke position to the death, not to let the enemy conquer the frontal position on the periphery of the ancient city, and don't worry about other things, and immediately stop the spies back for me! ”

Huang Jingsheng, who received this order, called the herald in front of him, and the first thing he said was: "You ride on my horse, otherwise, even if you run to death, you will never be able to catch up with Lei Zhen and the group of little rabbits he brought!" ”

On both sides of the road, he saw the kettle that he discarded, the long dry food bag that fell on the side of the road and was even stepped on by someone, and saw the man-made shovel imported from the United States that was used by the officers and men of the special service platoon and was usually reluctant to even let others touch it. It was on the road that Lei Zhen and they rushed by, and there was everywhere the equipment that they had discarded on both sides of the road in order to reduce their load.

After chasing for more than 20 minutes, the herald finally saw the back of the special service platoon.

After listening to Huang Jingsheng and Dai Anlan's orders, Lei Zhen stretched out his hand to shake off the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "Please tell Deputy Regiment Commander Huang and Division Commander on my behalf that the enemy is drilling under the noses of our 598th Regiment, and our 598th Regiment has the responsibility to support Junkergang Airport." We have a platoon that is less, but ...... When it comes to sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, even if it is dead, we must use the horns on our head to knock one of their tiger's teeth out of the mouth of the tiger!! ”

When he heard the words that the herald brought back from Lei Zhen, Huang Jingsheng smiled, he slapped the sandbag in front of the trench, which had been beaten by shrapnel, and shouted: "Well said, report everything he said to the division headquarters truthfully, and then send my words...... Who's the sheep, who's the tiger, maybe the fuck! ”

Hearing Lei Zhen's reply, Dai Anlan was silent, looking at the sand table in front of him that represented the entire battlefield of the same ancient city, silently remembering everything that was happening on the battlefield in his heart, and after a long time, Dai Anlan said in a low voice: "Lei Zhen, strong!" Xie Jinyuan, it's a pity! ”

"What part are you from?"

Lei Zhen, who rushed to the front, stopped the unit, and he pulled the bolt of the gun with a "bang", and the officers and soldiers of the special service platoon, who were already sweating profusely but still did not scatter the formation, also seized a few nearby firepower points with good visibility and sufficient defense for the first time.

Under the gaze of Lei Zhen and the spy platoon, more than a hundred [***] people who were out of breath and most of them didn't even know where to throw their weapons appeared in front of them. These people faced dozens of submachine guns that could kill them all within half a minute as long as they gave an order from the thunderbolt, and in the face of such a murderous force as the spy platoon, looking at the expressions on their faces, it was as if the children who had been lost with their mothers finally saw their relatives again, and more than a hundred voices, as if they had been specially choreographed, shouted in unison: "Don't shoot, brothers on the other side, we are from the engineer regiment!" ”

Looking at these engineers whose faces were covered with sweat and mud, probably because they ran too fast and too hard, and fell again and again, so the knees and palms oozed a trace of blood, but except for being a little embarrassed and panting a little, almost no one was seriously injured by the engineer regiment soldiers, Lei Zhen's eyes suddenly shrank into the most dangerous pinhead shape, because on the way these engineer regiment soldiers ran over just now, he suddenly saw a gun, and a bolt could shoot a bullet, which should have been helping on this battlefield [***] People defend their homes and defend the country, but now they are being thrown like garbage on the side of the road!

The submachine gun that had been lowered in Lei Zhen's hand and pointed to the ground was raised again, he stared at the group in front of him who didn't know how long he had been running, and as soon as he stopped, most of the people involuntarily sat on the ground, panting, more like being annihilated by more than a dozen big men, the whole body was still trembling slightly, and the soldiers of the engineering regiment roared loudly: "Tell me, have you escaped from the battlefield, have you become deserters?" ”

Listening to the roar of thunder, all the soldiers of the group of engineers were stunned. It was as they looked at each other that the thunder shook like a roar of thunder and continued to blast into their ears: "Say, are you deserters?!" ”

No one could answer Lei Zhen's question, and no one dared to meet Lei Zhen's eyes that almost erupted into flames. Of course they are deserters! If it wasn't for a deserter, why would they abandon their positions, throw away their weapons, and run in a panic in the direction of Echunke, where the 598th Regiment was stationed?

Staring at the group of soldiers of the Engineer Regiment whose faces were getting paler and paler, Lei Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Junkergang Military Airport, and shouted: "Coward! I tell you, if I were your commander, if I were the Overseer, I would have killed all of you cowards who have disgraced the soldiers! ”

"As long as you are not afraid of death, if you dare to fight the enemy, you are a five-foot-tall man?"

In the face of Lei Zhen's angry rebuke, someone finally spoke, in the middle of that group of deserters, someone stiffened his neck, with a crying voice, screamed: "A group of our big men ran to Burma, not to be embarrassed, we also want to fight with the enemy, but the enemy didn't know what was wrong, so he suddenly came out, and the brothers were all disrupted!" We are all veterans, and we all know that in this situation, if we want to survive, the best way is never to run away, but to fight with the enemy, but when the brothers reacted, the regiment commander had already taken the lead in escaping! As soon as I saw the regiment commander running away, the deputy regiment commander and the battalion commander all ran away, even if we were the big soldiers, even if we wanted to fight back and fight back, but there was no officer to lead us, and the recruits also fled, and in the end, even the veterans were caught up in it, what can we do? ”

"Don't talk nonsense with me!"

Lei Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Junkergang military airfield in the distance, and shouted loudly: "I am leading the troops to support there now, I believe that there are more reinforcements gathering there, and we are just going to regain the positions you lost from the enemy!" If you are not afraid of death, hold the gun in your hand tightly and fight back with me! If you are afraid of death, you can take off your military uniform and find a way to go home! ”

After saying these words, ignoring these pale faces, a blood-red engineer regiment soldier suddenly rose again, and Lei Zhen shouted loudly: "Special agent platoon, speed up the march!" ”

It only took 55 minutes for Lei Zhen to lead his spy platoon to run more than 7,000 meters of mountain road and rush to a hillside near the Junkergang military airport.

The regiment commander took the lead in fleeing, and the entire engineer regiment was crushed by a single charge from the enemy...... Lei Zhen had already gotten information from the deserters of those engineer regiments, but when he finally led the team to break through to the Junkergang military airport, an hour ago, there was still a military stronghold of the entire regiment of [***] teams, Lei Zhen was really stunned.

Because, the battle is over!

An engagement in which both sides committed their troops and reached a regiment was completely over after only an hour! And on the Junkgaon military airfield, the most dazzling sun flag was raised! Looking at the soldiers who were running back and forth near the airport, repairing the trenches, and were ready to meet the counterattack of the [***] team, Lei Zhen clenched his fists tightly, because as a soldier, he clearly knew that without more than half an hour of busyness, the defensive network reconstructed by the army would definitely not reach this level!

A regiment of more than 2,000 men, facing the combined onslaught of 1,000 motorized troops and a squadron of cavalry, only supported for half an hour at most, and handed over the Yongkegang military airfield, such an important strategic location, to the hands of the enemy.

Even if the men of this engineering regiment were 2,000 pieces of wood and 2,000 pigs, it would be absolutely impossible for more than a thousand enemies to drive them all out or cut them down in just half an hour!

And it was in such battles that the engineer regiment not only surrendered its position to the enemy, but also about 400 people became prisoners of the army. Glancing sideways at the soldiers of the engineer regiment who followed them all the way and were also lying on the small hillside, Lei Zhen's heart suddenly felt a sense of relief, at least this group of deserters he intercepted halfway, knowing that they would face ten times the enemy when they came back, they still followed him and returned here!

Just like the soldier said just now, there is absolutely no shortage of warriors among them who dare to fight the enemy, but in the face of the commander fleeing, the whole army has no soul, and in the face of the trend of everyone rushing around, even if they have more than enough, they are not enough, and in the end they can just go with the flow.

It was not until this time that Lei Zhen really had the deepest understanding of the phrase "one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies".

With a general like Huang Jingsheng, who can be impassioned and say that "although success is uncertain, Chengren is determined", the 598th Regiment will be able to withstand the repeated attacks of the two wings on the Echunke position; And the engineer regiment, even if it is not well-equipped and trained enough, after all, it is also a unit of 200 divisions, but with Li Shuzheng, a regiment commander who took the lead in escaping as soon as the gun sounded, they could not support even an hour in the face of a surprise attack by more than a thousand enemy troops!

Lei Zhen looked at the high sun flag at the Junkergang military airport, and he slowly clenched his fists. After a long time, he whispered, "Mission failed!" We...... Fall back! ”

If Li Shuzheng, the commander of the engineering regiment, still led the troops to resist desperately here, even if they were caught off guard, with their geographical advantages, they could at least resist a few of the enemy's charges. In this case, their special platoon, which has only a few dozen people, is the first to rush to the battle, even if it cannot change the battlefield pattern, it can become a shot in the arm and inject into the body of every engineer regiment brother.

But now, the main body of the engineer regiment is gone, and their strong arm has lost its most basic significance, even if Lei Zhen really launched a charge desperately, it can only be like what Commander Dai Anlan said, at most, it is a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and it is just a small credit to the enemy who occupies the Junkergang military airfield.

When Lei Zhen returned to the Echunke position defended by the 598th Regiment with exhaustion and the loss of mission failure, Lei Zhen was surprised again.

In the morning, the air force and artillery carried out a two-hour non-stop bombardment of the Echunk position, and according to common sense, what followed was inevitably the most intense onslaught of the army units, but from this morning, the army raided the Junkegang military airfield on the north side of the ancient city and launched a fierce attack on the periphery of the ancient city from the other two directions, but after the shelling and bombardment, it had been several hours, but the army had uncharacteristically not launched an attack on the Echunk position in front of the ancient city. There is not even a feint to disturb the surname!

On the Echunke position, there was a strange calm that had not been seen since the beginning of the battle to defend the ancient city.

Huang Jingsheng stood in a trench at the forefront of the position, holding a telescope, looking at the enemy on the other side of the river, no matter how persuaded by the guards around him, he refused to leave this front position that could be sniped by the enemy at any time.

Listening to the familiar footsteps around him, Huang Jingsheng didn't turn his head, but just handed the telescope in his hand into Lei Zhen's hands.

After being silent for a long time, Huang Jingsheng suddenly asked, "Lei Zhen, what do you think of me?" ”

"Not bad!"

"I mean, do you think, I'm bold?"

Lei Zhen, who was watching the enemy camp through the telescope, turned his head and glanced at Huang Jingsheng in a little surprise, and said: "Brother Huang, as the deputy commander, you like to play the role of the captain of the death squad, and you always have to rush to the front line, even the regiment commander and division commander have privately reminded you that as the supreme commander of the position on the battlefield, you must not work too hard." I think Brother Huang, you have to be bold, in this world, probably no one is bold, right? ”

"Yes," Huang Jingsheng nodded and sighed lightly, "I always thought that I was bold enough, when I was five years old, I dared to play with a two-foot-long snake and chase and scare girls with it." When I was eight years old, I was able to beat two boys a few years older than me and run home crying to complain to their mothers. People who know me say that I am a stupid and bold person, to put it bluntly, I am the kind of person who lacks heart and eyes and doesn't know what I'm afraid of. ”

Listening to these words, Lei Zhen couldn't help laughing, it seems that he, like this big brother Huang Jingsheng, has a childhood that is not "excellent", but it is definitely worth remembering.

"But ......"

Speaking of this, Huang Jingsheng hesitated slightly, but he still honestly said his thoughts: "Today I was suddenly afraid. I'm scared, I'm scared to death! I was so scared that even though the sun was shining on my body all the time, I still felt chills all over my body, and it wasn't until you stood by my side that I felt better! ”

Lei Zhen nodded silently, in fact, he can behave so calmly, isn't it because Huang Jingsheng is also standing by his side?

The enemy had launched an unprecedented onslaught on the outlying positions of the ancient city today, but they had spared the frontal battlefield of Echunk, and even before they launched a charge, they would inevitably take the lead in the front, and the tanks and armored vehicles that helped the soldiers resist the bullets were far away on the other side of the river.

And those soldiers of the Yueben army who were closest to the Echunk position may have received some orders, and they could even hide under the shade of the trees, take off their military uniforms, and expose their not very strong chests, and some even simply lay on the grass and covered their faces with their clothes, watching their movements, it seems that they have really fallen into a sweet sleep in a sunny day.

All of this has given this land, which has endured too much war, absorbed too much blood and life, and had a short and precious calm in just a few days.

However, facing the monsoon wind that is constantly blowing, feeling the warm light shining on the body, whether it is Huang Jingsheng or Lei Zhen, what rises in my heart is an almost creepy chill.

"Lei Zhen, what do you say that bullshit lieutenant general division commander named Takeuchi Kuan will do next? Wait for the Air Force and artillery to be ready, and continue to launch a non-stop attack on our second line of defense? Or simply violate the Treaty of Neva and fire poison gas bombs at our positions? Organize madmen who believe in bushido, get a super-large number of death squads, and force our positions with human lives? By the way, isn't it true that the 'Burmese Reading Volunteer Army' led by Aung San has also joined their camp, will Takeuchi Kuan push Aung San to the front as cannon fodder in order to preserve his strength......"

Huang Jingsheng kept talking, but every time he said an idea, without waiting for Lei Zhen to answer, he shook his head first and denied the idea, and Lei Zhen stood beside him, listening quietly without saying a word. Huang Jingsheng said like this for more than 20 minutes, shook his head for more than 20 minutes, and finally Huang Jingsheng ended his self-questioning and answering like this, "These are all useful to us, but there seems to be no way to break through our defense line in one fell swoop." ”

"Before the earthquake, animals will have abnormal conditions, often struggling on the line of death, even if we can't see the nature of the danger, but deep down in our hearts, there is still a bell that keeps ringing, reminding us to be careful." Lei Zhen said softly: "Now the alarm bells in your and my hearts are ringing wildly, knowing that everything in front of us is too abnormal, but we can't think of the reason, and of course it is impossible to find a solution, so we are afraid." Know that the eve of the most violent storm is often the calmest. ”

"Lei Zhen, you say, if that Takeuchi Kuan really has some killer features, can we hold it?"

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it! If we really can't hold on, our 598th Regiment will be finished, the 200th Division will be finished, and this Burma expedition will also be over. That is, to understand the burden on your body, and to understand the truth of moving a hundred, Brother Huang, you are afraid. ”

After saying these words, Lei Zhen and Huang Jingsheng closed their mouths together, and they never talked again, just like that, standing side by side in the trench closest to the enemy. For a moment, all that remained around them was the rustling of the weeds and trees on the hillside blown by the monsoon, mixed with the sound of their breathing for each other, and in their chests, the two equally powerful, equally hot, and even more identical hearts with the same ideals and wills were still beating obsessively.

At this time, Lei Zhen suddenly thought of the two cows he saw when he was a child, the two hungry wolves, in order to survive, they relied on each other tightly, each of their sharpest horns was exposed, and each of them protected each other's fatal cattle!

At this time, Huang Jingsheng didn't know what to think, and a strange expression of nostalgia, happiness and sadness was raised on his face.

It was in a casual turn of their heads to look at each other that they saw a trace of gold and gravel in each other's eyes, and they saw a strong sense of care and friendship. An indescribable feeling suddenly rose from the hearts of two people at the same time, perhaps because they had a heart, and their thoughts were so the same: "It's good to have such a brother!" ”

The two of them have been standing in the forefront of the trench like this, slowly absorbing warmth from each other, I don't know how long it took, Lei Zhen suddenly said: "The enemy on the other side seems to be moving." ”

"Well, it looks like they're finally going to attack." Huang Jingsheng said: "I don't know why, I know that when they start attacking, it will be a fierce attack, and it will be a fierce battle, but I feel a sense of relief in my heart." ”

Lei Zhen looked at the infantry who came out of the enemy's camp from a distance, and seemed to be preparing to attack the Echunk position, and said with a smile: "That's because as long as he makes a move, we can see the moves, and we can also go-for-tat, it's better than standing here and guessing and scaring yourself!" You know, people are scary, but they can scare people to death! ”

Huang Jingsheng, who was nodding and smiling while holding a telescope in his hand, while observing the enemy's situation, suddenly froze, and his hands holding the telescope trembled slightly.

"Thunderquake ......"

Huang Jingsheng handed the telescope to Lei Zhen, and even his voice, at this time, began to tremble.

When Lei Zhen put the binoculars in front of his eyes and finally saw the force of only a few hundred people, the smile on his face disappeared.

The "enemy" who came out of the barracks and prepared to attack the Echunk position was no more than 450 people at best, and they formed a horizontal formation in a squad of 11 people. Except for the squad leader who holds a light machine gun commonly known as a "crooked handle", the weapons in the hands of the others are not rifles, but wooden sticks more than three feet long!

"You don't have to tell," the ghost standing behind Lei Zhen finally interjected, at this time, this genius who is good at ventriloquism and can imitate anyone's voice vividly, there is indescribable bitterness in his voice, "Those faces, some I recognize, they are all brothers of the Engineer Corps!" If I'm not mistaken, they should have been captured by the Yue army when they attacked the Junkergang military airfield, and they didn't have time to retreat with Li Shuzheng. ”

It doesn't matter how these soldiers of the engineer regiment got into the camp of the army, the important thing is that under the gaze of Lei Zhen, these people, who were only holding a wooden stick in their hands and each person's arm, were tightly bound into a string like a string of ants yesterday, and they actually lined up in a horizontal row and walked slowly towards the Echunk position. In the middle of them, someone showed a slight sense of resistance, and the squad leader, who was holding a light machine gun in his hand, raised the light machine gun in his hand as a shuttle of bullets, and in front of everyone, beat the rebels into a hornet's nest.

It was by this method that, under the coercion of machine guns and bayonets, more than 400 [***] people walked in the forefront. And behind them, closely followed by the army.

I don't know if it was the result of the "teaching" of this army, or if these Chinese [***] people spontaneously and consciously released their wisdom in order to save their lives, and there were still a few hundred meters away from the Echunk position, and more than 400 people shouted in unison: "Don't shoot, we are our own people!" Don't shoot, we're our own people......"

First the bombing, then the surprise attack on the Junkgaon military airfield, and finally the captured officers and men of the engineering regiment were escorted to the front line, forcing them to walk in the forefront...... It wasn't until this time that Lei Zhen knew that they were facing a strategic master who had designed several chess moves one after another before the battle began, forcing them into a desperate situation step by step!

The most brutal tactics of driving prisoners to the front and attacking enemy positions or cities were often used by Genghis Khan's troops, who had conquered a large territory for China and expanded its power to the Blue Danube. The defending army, facing their comrades-in-arms or even family members, as long as their minds are slightly shaken and unable to make a counterattack, the Mongol army that follows closely behind will have the opportunity to occupy positions or cities. And if the generals forcibly order an attack regardless of the lives of their compatriots, the morale of their troops will inevitably fall to the bottom.

And this kind of defensive warfare in which the enemy is strong and we are weak is to fight for the morale and cohesion of the army, and once these two things are gone, the war can also be said to have come to an end.

As long as you look at Huang Jingsheng's eyes that are wide open, but can barely find the focal length of his gaze, you can understand that Takeuchi's move has hit the weakness of this brave and combative commander! Lei Zhen said categorically: "Ghost talent, immediately notify all the members of the special agent platoon to assemble and take over the forefront of the defense line." ”

"Yes!"

The ghost turned around and wanted to leave, but he suddenly found that his sleeve was pulled, and the person who grabbed him was Huang Jingsheng. Holding the ghost talent tightly, Huang Jingsheng stared at Lei Zhen and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"The soldiers of those engineer regiments, when they attacked Junkegan, they obviously had the strength to fight, but they raised their hands and surrendered, and became prisoners of the enemy, and at that time, they were no longer qualified to be soldiers of the 200th Division! Now they know that if they go forward, they may be able to survive, but they will bring the enemy into position......"

Huang Jingsheng interrupted Lei Zhen's words, "Tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

"The position must not be lost!" Lei Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "Takeuchi Kuan's killer move, I Lei Zhen took it!" ”

"How do you pick it up? Tell me, how do you pick up? ”

Huang Jingsheng suddenly grabbed Lei Zhen's shirt hard, and while shaking it hard, he shouted wildly: "Did you hear clearly, did you open your eyes and see clearly?" Those who have a stick in their hands, who have no combat effectiveness, and who have no hostility towards us, are our brothers, brothers of our engineer regiment who used to eat in a pot, and we are still alive because in the face of enemy bombardment and shelling, we can hide in the fortifications built by our engineer regiment brothers! Lei Zhen, I always thought that you were the same as me, a chivalrous hot-blooded man, I, I, I, I misjudged you! ”

"I hear it clearly, and I see it clearly!"

Facing the furious Huang Jingsheng, Lei Zhen's voice suddenly became gloomy and cold, "Brother Huang, you have to figure it out, they are soldiers, soldiers!" The duty of a soldier is to fight bloodily on the battlefield to defend the homeland and the country, not to be captured by the enemy on the battlefield, turn around and lead the enemy, and climb up the position of his army! If they were just ordinary people and did such a thing in the face of the threat of death, I could still accept and forgive, but for a soldier, such an act is tantamount to treason! Even if I order to be shot, I will only execute the traitor. ”

"Betray your mother!"

Huang Jingsheng raised his right fist and hit Lei Zhen's face hard, his punch knocked Lei Zhen down and retreated five or six steps away, Huang Jingsheng Huo Ran pulled out his matching gun, pointed at Lei Zhen, and shouted loudly: "What does it mean that for a soldier, such behavior is tantamount to treason, Lei Zhen, you tell me, if I put a gun at your head and ask you to do something that you are not usually willing to do, will you do it?" ”

Lei Zhen stretched out his hand to wipe away the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth, walked in front of Huang Jingsheng step by step, and then reached out and grabbed the gun in Huang Jingsheng's hand, and moved the barrel directly to his forehead, he stared straight into Huang Jingsheng's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Small is small and non-improvised, big is wrong, I'd rather die than give in!" If Brother Huang insists on stopping me from shooting the prisoners of war of the Engineer Corps, then you will simply shoot me! ”

Facing Lei Zhen's pair of deep tunnels that can barely see the bottom, but he exudes a manly spirit, and his eyes are really frank and looking up at the world, Huang Jingsheng is really stunned.

"Lei Zhen, I know you're afraid of death, and I know you're a hero, but you can't ask everyone to be as afraid of death as you, you're a hero, right?"

Huang Jingsheng threw away his pistol, he grabbed Lei Zhen again, he grabbed it so hard, it was as hard as if a person was about to drown, he grabbed a life-saving wood in the water, he hissed: "Look at it, it's not four or five people, it's four or five hundred people, each of them didn't jump out of the stone, they all have their fathers and mothers to support." Is there a way for us to hold our ground and save their lives? I knew that if they were allowed to take their books to the battlefield, maybe our 200 divisions would be wiped out, but ......"

"Lei Zhen, I beg you, save these brothers!"

In the roar, Huang Jingsheng, the eldest brother who took good care of Lei Zhen as soon as he entered the barracks, faced the enemy on the battlefield, but always charged at the forefront as the deputy commander, and was really a brave and good soldier, in front of the ghosts, in front of all the soldiers standing in the front trenches, his knees were weak, and he knelt down in front of Lei Zhen. He held his head high, stared at Lei Zhen's eyes, and hissed: "I can accept that my subordinates and brothers died in the battlefield for the country's loyalty and glory, but I really can't accept that my subordinates will slaughter their brothers who were captured by the enemy on the battlefield, Lei Zhen, you have to understand, 10,000 people are life, four or five hundred people, it is also life!" ”

"Big brother, what are you doing here?"

Lei Zhen was really stunned, this is his most respected eldest brother, what kind of virtue can he Lei Zhen have, can he stand a man like Huang Jingsheng, such a soldier bowing down? Lei Zhen tried his best to pull Huang Jingsheng up, but Huang Jingsheng reached out and hugged his knees, no matter how hard he tried, not to mention pulling Huang Jingsheng up, he couldn't even kneel down if he wanted to.

In this case, Huang Jingsheng's words continued to blast into Lei Zhen's ears: "Lei Zhen, I know that you rushed to lead the spy platoon to defend the first line of defense because you wanted to take the charge of slaughtering your fellow brothers on your own body. You want to make the most difficult decision for my eldest brother, or even accept the trial of a military court for my eldest brother, and be scolded by everyone! I know all about you, but ...... Lei Zhen, you are so smart, no matter what problems I want to break my head and can't figure out incomprehensible problems, you can always quickly find a solution, you can always surprise me, you always make me feel very worthy of reliance, today you can't think about it again, see if there is any other way, so that we can not only hold the position, but also take back those brothers? Lei Zhen, I kneel in front of you, on behalf of those four or five hundred brothers, on behalf of the elders of the family of those four or five brothers, please be merciful to your subordinates, and leave you to save their lives!! ”

Listening to Huang Jingsheng's unprecedented voice and attitude, begging him to save the lives of more than 400 people who were holding wooden sticks in their hands and were pressing towards the garrison position of the 598th Regiment, if he could, Lei Zhen really wanted to nod and agree. However, he clearly knows that looking at the advancing scroll of human history and civilization, I don't know how many famous generals have used this kind of inhumane attack on the battlefield, and I don't know how many famous generals have lost the country and lost the country because of the benevolence of one thought in the face of this tactic! He Lei Zhen is just a post-born boy, what is the way to surpass the famous generals of the past dynasties and crack such a must-kill game without paying any price?

"Those brothers were forced by themselves at gunpoint, but they still managed to walk very slowly, and I think it will take at least twenty minutes to get to the position from the other side of the river, and in this time we should be able to find a way out by working together."

Looking at Huang Jingsheng, who finally showed a smile on his face when he heard his words, Lei Zhen pulled Huang Jingsheng up from the ground with both hands, and just when Huang Jingsheng's lips moved and he wanted to say something more, Lei Zhen's right hand had already slashed diagonally to Huang Jingsheng's neck.

Reaching out to hug the eldest brother Huang Jingsheng who fell softly in his arms, Lei Zhen looked around the audience and said loudly: "Everyone can see clearly, the person who insists on shooting at the prisoners of the engineering regiment is me Lei Zhen, not Deputy Head Huang Jingsheng!" Deputy Commander Huang Jingsheng didn't want to stop me, but he was knocked unconscious by me, and the person who led the spy platoon to shoot was also me Lei Zhen, in the future, it will be a reward or a punishment, a killing or a longitudinal ride, all of which are borne by me Lei Zhen, and Huang Jingsheng has nothing to do with Deputy Head Huang Jingsheng! ”

Delivering Huang Jingsheng's treasure to the hands of the guards, Lei Zhen turned his head to look at the officers and soldiers of the engineering regiment who had passed through the temporarily built pontoon bridge and walked to the riverbank, Lei Zhen said in a deep voice: "Ghost talent, immediately notify the special platoon and assemble here!" ”

The ghost was on the battlefield for the first time, and he did not immediately carry out the order of Lei Zhen, the boss who was also a teacher and friend, he said in a low voice: "Master, eldest brother, platoon commander, you must understand that this order, no matter how the battle for the defense of Tonggu ends, and no matter how the military court decides, the family members who have lost their loved ones will not forgive you, the people will not understand you, and the crowd will make you a character like Qin Yu who should be reviled by everyone for 10,000 years." Is it really worth it? ”

"Whether it is worth it or not is not a question that soldiers should consider, what I need to measure is whether it should or should not. As for what the public will say about me in the future, Lei Zhen raised his head, he stared at a wisp of dancing with the wind in the sky, with indescribable freehand and carefree white clouds, and said softly: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I am alone!" ”

The ghost looked at the man in front of him with the most respectful gaze, he inhaled lightly and said, "Master, you won't be lonely, if you are destined to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell in the future, there will be my apprentice to accompany you!" ”

"I'm really happy to be your apprentice, I used to learn the art of war and strategy from you, but today, you taught me how to be a real man. Thank you, Master, thank you, big brother, thank you, platoon commander! ”

After saying these words, the ghost saluted Lei Zhen seriously, and then walked away without looking back, he couldn't help but leave here quickly.

"I'm a funny ghost, I'm a ghost who doesn't pay for the dead, I'm a ghost who harms others and doesn't benefit myself, ...... a character like me" The ghost waved his hand over his face, and swept away some things from the corners of his eyes with the most natural movements, "How can a character like me shed horse pee?" Even if there were, it must have been sand blowing into my eyes. ”

Standing in the trenches, looking at the soldiers of the engineering regiment and the officers and soldiers of the special service platoon who were getting closer and closer under the threat of his own guns, he could already faintly hear their desperate cries, and clearly see the tears that flowed out of their faces again and again, but they didn't even dare to reach out and wipe them. They knew that what they had in their hands was a wooden stick that didn't mean anything, but in order to survive for a few more minutes, they had to raise it diagonally like a rifle.

Watching them line up in a row and move forward, it is really indescribably funny, but with indescribable cruelty. As they moved closer to the position of the 598th Regiment little by little, the pace of these people became slower and slower, in any case, they were after all Chinese people, and they all clearly understood that if they took the soldiers behind them to the Echunke position in this way, it would bring irreversible consequences to the 200th Division.

Looking at the poor comrade who was strung together one by one, his face was stained with tears and snot, and he was really indescribable, Sun Shangxiang, who was standing next to Lei Zhen, suddenly asked: "Lei Zhen, if I am also standing in the queue opposite, will you find a way to save me?" ”

Hearing this, the rabbit blurted out, "I will!" ”

Sun Shangxiang shook her head, her eyes were still staring at Lei Zhen's face, and she said persistently: "Lei Zhen, tell me your choice, no matter what the answer is, you just need to tell me the first thought in your heart." ”

Lei Zhen said: "I don't know! ”

Sun Shangxiang's face was a little disappointed, but also a little bit of joy, he had already put his attention on the thunder shock of those who were getting closer and closer, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to analyze Sun Shangxiang's intention to suddenly ask this question. Only the ghost was on the side, with a weird smile, picked up a little thumb at Sun Shangxiang, and shook it there, until Sun Shangxiang picked up a defensive grenade that did not open the safety and smashed it mercilessly on the ghost talent. Seeing that the ghost was grinning in pain, and making repeated movements to beg for mercy to her, Sun Shangxiang showed a hint of "Count you as a kid" expression.

In the small movements of Sun Shangxiang and the ghost talent, the captured soldiers of the engineering regiment also slowly walked to a position only one hundred and fifty meters away from the forward position of Echunke, calculating the distance between each other step by step, and Lei Zhen's right hand was also slowly raised.

"Remember, this kind of thing, either don't do it, or do it thoroughly."

I survived alone in the mountains for a few years, fighting with the wind, frost, rain and snow with my own hands, fighting with wild beasts with my own hands, and seeing the thunder shock of nature's law of survival of the fittest, ruthless enough!

"As soon as I give the order to shoot, the first target of your attack will be the four hundred or so prisoners who have led the enemy into position, not the soldiers behind them. If the soldiers want to escape, they can, but those prisoners must not let any of them rush to our position, nor can they be allowed to escape back to the camp of the army! ”

All the officers and soldiers of the special platoon who heard this order, except for Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao, who could still stay calm, everyone's faces changed at that time. Although they all understood that if they first killed the killers and then let such a group of people escape back to the barracks, once they protested en masse and let the rumors spread throughout the barracks, whether it was Lei Zhen himself, Huang Jingsheng, the 598th Regiment, or the 200th Division, it would evolve into a fatal heavy blow, but he also gave an order to kill his own prisoners without leaving a single person alive, Lei Zhen was indeed too ruthless!

"Takeuchi Kan, I have to admit that you are a master strategist who plays with psychology. You first used the most intensive bombardment to declare that you are bound to launch the fiercest general attack on the Echunk positions today. You have succeeded in mobilizing all our attention to keep our mental state in the most tense state, but you have deliberately played a game to get away with it, because you know very well that the calmer you are, the more immobile you are, the more nervous we commanders will be, and when a person is too nervous for too much time, and then faced with the difficult problem of whether or not to shoot his own prisoners of war, which is contrary to the morality of a soldier, he is likely to make a wrong judgment, and even cause a temporary loss of mental control! ”

Staring at the group of prisoners of war who were getting closer and closer, Lei Zhen whispered in his heart: "You found that the most powerful part of the 200th Division lies in the strong morale and willpower of the same enemy Kai, and you want to use this method to hit our morale and weaken our will to resist. But, bet on the spittle, your plan is over! ”

"Brothers, I don't need your forgiveness, so please go first!"

Lei Zhen's mind turned, and his right hand also slashed down, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar roar: "Brothers, charge!" ”

Lei Zhen Huo Ran turned his head, the person who rushed to the front first, with the guard platoon and the first battalion and the second company, rushed out of the position, who was not the eldest brother Huang Jingsheng who was stunned by him just now?

Huang Jingsheng was carrying a Thomson submachine gun in his hand, and while he was running towards the prisoners of the Engineer Corps, he straightened his neck and shouted wildly: "Get down, get down, get down, do you really want to fucking die?!" ”

A group of officers and men of the engineer regiment who had been captured by the army did not wake up until this time, and they fell to the ground in a series of rows like dominoes that had been overturned, and when the shield between us and the enemy finally disappeared, both sides pulled the trigger of their weapons almost simultaneously.

"What are you still stunned about, the fire support group suppresses the enemy's machine gun, and the others follow me!"

After a moment of consternation, Lei Zhen was the first to wake up, he carried a submachine gun, the first to jump out of the trench, and rushed to Huang Jingsheng, who had already run to the side of the prisoners of the engineering regiment, pulled out a dagger and cut the rope for them, just in this chaos, a rain of bullets, Lei Zhen suddenly heard a Chinese soldier straighten his neck and shouted with all his might: "Be careful, there are enemies in our midst......"

The valiant soldier, before he finished speaking, a dagger cut his trachea from behind. And almost at the same time, Huang Jingsheng, who had already rushed to the side of these [***] people, put down the submachine gun in his hand, and cut the rope on his body for them, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Huang Jingsheng lowered his head and looked at his lower abdomen in disbelief, right there, it was a compatriot who had just cut the rope and freed the other party's hands, and stabbed a dagger into his body with a single hand. Blood quickly flowed out of Huang Jingsheng's body along the deep blood groove on the dagger, and dripped under their feet on the ground that had been blown over by shells several times and had completely turned into a scorched earth.

"Brother Huang!"

Looking at Huang Jingsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was pale and desperate, Lei Zhen wanted to cry loudly, Lei Zhen wanted to roar, and the sour feeling hit Lei Zhen's heart again and again, pressing against his throat, making him only feel difficult to breathe, and making him only feel that even his heart was pierced by the bayonet.

But at this time, as a well-trained professional soldier who has been constantly honed on the battlefield, Lei Zhen's tears have no way to flow out of his eyes, because his body clearly knows that in this case, as long as the tears come out, Lei Zhen will definitely die! Lei Zhen wanted to be angry and crazy, but his reason stubbornly occupied his brain, allowing him to maintain a more painful sobriety than any cool type in this world!

At this time, Lei Zhen could only use the fastest speed to rush towards Huang Jingsheng.

"Lei Zhen, don't come here!"

But Huang Jingsheng's roar made Lei Zhen stop his steps.

"Kill Huang Jingsheng's revenge, Huang Jingsheng will avenge himself!"

Saying that it was really a declaration that there was no one before or after him, under the incredulous gaze of everyone, Huang Jingsheng, who was stabbed into a dagger in his lower abdomen, stuck the other party's hand holding the dagger with his left hand, and his right hand stretched out and directly choked the other party's throat.

"If you want to kill me Huang Jingsheng, you're still far away!" Staring at the enemy in front of him who was grabbed by his throat and turned purple in the blink of an eye, Huang Jingsheng shouted angrily: "Why do you only stab me in the lower abdomen, how can you stab someone to death like this?" You should aim directly at my chest and stab me, and if you are enough, you will directly pierce Lao Tzu's heart! Others are dead soldiers of the death squad, and you are also a dead soldier of the death squad, how can you not even kill people? Look at you like a bird, believe it or not, Lao Tzu can pinch you to death with one hand like pinching a chicken? In your next life, you should stay at home honestly and play with your wife and children on the hot kang! Hey, you still have explosives strapped to you, why don't you just hug me tightly and then detonate the explosives on your body? ”

Speaking of this, Huang Jingsheng suddenly came to his senses, he had a brute attack, stood up violently, first threw the death squad member who had been pinched half to death by him to the ground, and then stomped on the opponent's lower abdomen, in the screams of the audience, Huang Jingsheng took a deep breath and shouted: "Everyone be careful, the daredevils of Xiao Yuben are tied with explosives, the brothers of the engineering regiment, if you want to live, immediately work together to subdue the enemy mixed in your midst!" ”

Lei Zhen's eyes widened, and he screamed: "Brother Huang, get down, get down, get down, you fucking get down!" ”

Before the words fell, in front of Lei Zhen's eyes, a gorgeous blood flower suddenly bloomed on Huang Jingsheng's chest, and the bullet fired by the Type 38 rifle pierced through Huang Jingsheng's chest and shot through his body and from behind. Seeing this scene, Lei Zhenmao got up and ran forward with all his might.

"The bullet of the Type 38 rifle is not very powerful, as long as it does not hit the internal organs and other vital points, it is difficult to kill with one shot, and the most important thing is that this bullet penetrates the body, and even the operation to remove the bullet is saved......"

Lei Zhen was running and comforting himself desperately in his heart, but as he ran, tears finally flowed out of his eyes, because it was in front of his eyes that three light machine gun bullets fell on Huang Jingsheng's body together, exploding a zigzag blood flower.

Lowering his head and looking at the wounds that had been hit by four bullets in a row, the wounds that had been beaten to bloody flesh, the shattered internal organs, mixed with blood, kept flowing out of the wounds, Huang Jingsheng only felt a sense of weakness and fainting that he couldn't fight at all, and it hit him in an instant.

When he fell down in the sky, Huang Jingsheng's thought in his heart turned out to be: ", the fierce general Dian Wei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not a dozen knife wounds and gunshot wounds in his body, but he is still standing, so scared that Zhang Xiu's subordinates dare not approach for a long time, brother, why did I get hit by four shots and one knife, and I couldn't stand?" Could it be that I'm so much worse than Dian Weibi?! ”

Feeling his body constantly falling downward, Huang Jingsheng sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that with his physical state, if he fell like this again, he would definitely not want to open his eyes again.

But Huang Jingsheng's body did not fall directly to the ground that was hard and I don't know how many shrapnel it was mixed with, but fell to a broad chest, and at the last moment, Lei Zhen still rushed to his side after all.

Huang Jingsheng squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at Lei Zhen, and he stretched out his finger to point to the gunshot wound on his chest, and then to the knife wound on his lower abdomen.

Lei Zhen worked harder, only he, who was as close to Huang Jingsheng as a brother, could use these two simple actions to understand what Huang Jingsheng wanted to say: "Don't call me stupid, before I was shot, this knife was enough for my life!" ”

What the daredevils were holding in his hand was a knife with sharp serrations on the back of the knife, and when he stabbed the dagger into Huang Jingsheng's abdomen, he twisted his wrist and used the dagger to twist a 360-degree rotation in Huang Jingsheng's lower abdomen.

"Didn't you say that there is no way to preserve both the brothers of the engineer regiment and the position?"

Huang Jingsheng was lying in Lei Zhen's arms, patrolling under his four lights, looking at the ropes on his body that had been cut with the fire support of the special service platoon, the guard platoon and other troops, and kept running towards the Echunke position, and more and more people escaped from the soldiers of the engineer regiment, Huang Jingsheng's face slowly raised such a proud and proud smile. He stretched out his finger to himself, then to the soldiers of the Engineer Corps, and then clenched his fist.

...... "My Huang Jingsheng's life is life, and the life of those brothers is also life!" ”

With pride, pride, happiness, and regret, in Lei Zhen's arms, Huang Jingsheng finally slowly closed his eyes. Looking at the wisps of his mouth slightly raised, raising a smile of no regrets, such a death should be a sweet dream for him and never have to wake up, right?

In this world, if life is like a lamp going out, it will naturally be a hundred, but if there is really a netherworld and a god of the Nine Heavens, they should also respect Huang Jingsheng, a hero who sacrifices his life for righteousness, right?

Holding the body of Huang Jingsheng's eldest brother tightly, Lei Zhen's gaze quickly swept over the battlefield, there was no bunker and no buffer, plus there were the Yueben death squads everywhere that ignited the explosives on their bodies and rushed towards the [***] people, just a few minutes of close combat, the officers and soldiers of the 598th Regiment who rushed out of the trenches, including the spy platoon, paid the price of more than 150 people killed on the spot, and those prisoners of the engineering regiment who rushed to the Echunke position, in a panic, only knew that they ran with their heads in their hands, and often became the active target of the soldiers. Only about one-third of those who can escape back to the position of the [***] team alive!

In terms of the number of people killed, it was close to the total number of prisoners of the Engineer Corps; At the cost of killing more than 100 of the most elite soldiers, including deputy regiment commander Huang Jingsheng, the 598th Regiment lost more than 100 of the most elite soldiers who faced the enemy and only knew how to raise their hands to surrender, were forced by the enemy to open the way in front, and did not know that they would rather be crushed. It is because of this that Lei Zhen did not list the close-range assault to rescue the hostages as the best plan to solve this incident.

But Huang Jingsheng used his life to defend his soldier's creed: I can accept that my subordinates and brothers died honorably for the country on the battlefield, but I really can't accept that my subordinates go to slaughter their brothers who were captured by the enemy on the battlefield!

Lei Zhen and Huang Jingsheng, one is pragmatic and ruthless, the other has the demeanor of a soldier, two different military styles, two different attitudes towards people, on the battlefield, they are destined to have contradictions, there will be differences, as for who they do more correctly, leave it to future generations to judge!

Holding Huang Jingsheng's body back to the Echunke position, before he could find a clean wet cloth to wipe off the blood and mud on Huang Jingsheng's face, there was a muffled sound of artillery bombardment in the position of the army.

The first batch of more than 20 shells fell on the defensive line of the Echunk position, but there was no deafening roar, no overwhelming shrapnel and shock waves, and some were just a dull roar.

Lei Zhen's complexion changed again, and he shouted loudly: "Be careful, the enemy is firing poison gas shells!" ”

Fortunately, it is the end of March, and Myanmar has entered the hot monsoon season, and the strong winds blowing through have taken away the gas emitted by the poison gas shells, which have not played a big role.

As soon as Lei Zhen exhaled a long breath, he heard Luo Sanpao's whisper: "his sister, did these little people take a strong pill today, they just fired a gas shell, and the bomber flew over again!" ”

Looking at the formation of more than 20 planes and bombers, like a group of vultures in the air that saw their prey, swooping down fiercely on the position of the 598th Regiment, Lei Zhen understood in his heart that Takeuchi Kuan, who was praised as the "Demon Sword Muramasa" by the military headquarters, after repeatedly using tactics to continuously weaken the defensive strength and fighting spirit of the 598th Regiment, this joint attack dominated by artillery bombardment and bombing represented the beginning of the enemy's main force and frontal assault!

Whether you don't want to admit it, whether you are angry, or with faint admiration, the corpse of Deputy Commander Huang Jingsheng, the dead body of the 598th Regiment, killed nine members in a charge, and even the fact that the second squad leader and the rabbit were injured clearly reminded Lei Zhen...... The 598th Regiment will never survive today's joint onslaught of the Angshan Army and the Burmese Reading Volunteers!

And once the 598th Regiment retreated, gave up the Echunk position, and the Junkegang military airfield on the north side of Tonggu City fell, all this was enough to show that the 200th Division had lost its outer positions in Tonggucheng, and the enemy was about to attack the city!
