Chapter 03: First Entry

"1.28" The War of Resistance broke out! On January 28, 1932, the Battle of Songhu began.

Tuesday dog, no, now call Zhou Wumu to come to the headquarters of the 19th Route Army.

"Report to the army commander, Senior Private Zhou Wumu is invited to fight!"

Cai Tingkai turned around from the map: "Yo! Tomorrow's Greats! Look like a veteran! ”

Cai Tingkai looked at Zhou Wumu with a fierce face, and secretly thought: It's enough to be tough, but it's also a lack of murderous energy!

"How's it going, can't sit still?" General Cai Tingkai asked.

"It's boring in the rear, I want to go to the front!"

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid of death, I'll fulfill you!" Cai Tingkai turned to the staff officer again and said, "Let Zhao Dahu come here!" ”

Zhao Dahu hurriedly rushed into the headquarters: "Report to the commander, report to the commander-in-chief, Zhao Dahu, the commander of the guard battalion, report to duty, please give the order to the commander!" ”

Cai Tingkai nodded: "It's time for the recruits to see blood, organize all the soldiers in the guard battalion who have not participated in the battle, and then arrange for veterans to lead the team and go to the front line to see blood!" ”

"Yes, please rest assured, the commander, I will personally lead the team and ensure the completion of the task!" Zhao Dahu replied unequivocally, turned around and walked out.

"Come back! You take the guard battalion to protect the headquarters, don't forget what you eat! Don't want to go to the front line, just arrange a reliable person for the front line, hmph, play sloppy with me! "Cai Tingkai is really not easy to fool!

Qian Zhiguang, the commander of the first company of the guard battalion, went to the front line with a group of recruits: 1 company commander, 1 company deputy, 3 signal soldiers, 1 flag soldier, 1 bugle soldier, 3 platoon commanders, 3 platoon deputies, 84 recruits, 24 veteran squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, a total of 122 people, divided into 3 platoons and 7 squads, each squad is equipped with 1 light machine gun, 10 rifles, each person carries 5 grenades, and the company platoon commander and signal soldiers, flag soldiers, and bugle soldiers are equipped with 1 submachine gun as mobile melee fire support.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the 156th Brigade, the brigade commander thought that it was not easy to deal with the commander's personal soldiers, so he only arranged for an operational staff officer, Sun Rulin, to place them.

Sun Rulin was also a militant, and he believed that although the guard battalion was an elite soldier, it had a lot of guard training and few combat training subjects, and at the same time he decided that according to the battle situation, these elite soldiers would have to come in handy sooner or later. Therefore, according to the strong firepower advantage of the Japanese soldiers obtained from the front line, Sun Rulin often bombarded first and then charged, pulled the recruits of the guard battalion to an open space, and focused on training them in practical battlefield subjects such as building fortifications, laying out positions, and allocating firepower.

Three days later, the brigade headquarters commanded the soldiers hurriedly arrived and ordered the guard battalion to temporarily form a company to reinforce the Zhabei defense line.

It was almost dark when they arrived at the Qingyun Road position, and the devils did not attack again. Sun Rulin, Qian Zhiguang and Li Haoxue, the commander of Qingyun Road, contacted Li Haoxue, Li Haoxue's original battalion of more than 500 people, only 167 people remained, including the lightly wounded, and there were only 6 platoon leaders left, and the surrounding buildings and original fortifications were almost all razed to the ground, and there were stumps and broken arms and corpses on both sides everywhere, and the recruits were shocked by this tragic scene, and many recruits vomited heavily.

On Tuesday, the dog vomited out the food in his stomach, and was trying to adjust his breathing to control the bile and gastric juice gushing out again, and happened to hear Qian Zhiguang and other officials worrying: It turned out that the devil's artillery fire had blown up almost all the fortifications, and the sandbags, steel, and wood for building the fortifications were all exhausted.

On Tuesday, the dog stepped forward uninterestingly and suggested: "Report sir, shall we take off the devil's military uniform and make sandbags?" ”

"That's right," Sun Rulin's eyes lit up, "and the corpse of the devil!" ”

"There are lumbers and chests in the ruins!"

"Do it right away, order a platoon to go out on guard!"

The sky is bright, and the nondescript fortifications have been built, but they are barely effective.

"Pass! Open! Open! "The devils have started shelling. There is no way, the artillery fire of ** is too weak, and there is only a share of beating during the shelling.

On Tuesday, the dog dragged a bombed-out rickshaw over a broken wall, covered it with stones and wooden planks, and went into this hidden bunker to observe the movement of the front line.

The devil began to charge. On Tuesday, the dog was not in a hurry, and carefully confirmed the officers of the devils, sniping with one shot at a time like a bird, and the machine gunner and grenadier were positioned far behind, which was not easy to fight.

"Tong!" A grenadier grenade exploded not far from Tuesday Dog, and knowing that he had been spotted, he quickly rolled into a bomb crater that he had been looking for to blow himself up.

The devil's grenadier was also looking for him, and on Tuesday the dog aimed at the devil who was looking around with a shot, and the devil also saw him at the same time, rolled over, and dodged the shot. On Tuesday, the dog's bullet did not go empty, and hit the grenade on the grenadier carrier of the devil's grenadier, and the martyred grenade killed the devil's squad leader and 4 devil soldiers in one fell swoop, including the grenadier who dodged the bullet.

In this attack of the Japanese army, Tuesday Dog killed 1 squad leader, 3 military cao, Wu Commander, 2 grenadiers, 2 machine gunners, and 3 devil soldiers.

Tuesday Dog was closing his eyes behind a stack of stone walls, Qian Zhiguang bent over and handed Tuesday Dog a cigarette: "Boy, good marksmanship!" You killed 11 devils in this battle, and none of them survived with a gun or headshot! ”

On Tuesday, the dog was stunned, he patronized and fired, and he didn't count the records.

"Fight more devil officers, machine guns, grenadiers, remember?" Qian Zhiguang instructed.

"Yes, sir!" Tuesday the dog replied excitedly.

"Also, shoot a few shots and change positions, don't let the devils take aim!"

"Yes, sir!" On Tuesday, the more the dog hits, the more it feels.

After another burst of shelling, more than 300 devils from two squadrons rushed up. At 150 meters, the Chinese soldiers opened fire. The soldiers of the guard company were extremely accurate in marksmanship, and in less than three minutes, the devils lost 100 people and had to retreat in a hurry, while the Chinese side suffered less than 20 casualties, and the guard company suffered 7 minor injuries and no casualties.

Before the retreating devils retreated to the attack line, the shelling of the devils began, and the Chinese side suffered more than 20 casualties and 7 dead and 5 wounded in the guard company. Then, the devil began a second wave of non-stop wave attacks.

This time the devils changed their tactics, 4 squads lined up in 4 skirmish lines at 30-meter intervals, alternately covering, echelon attacks, within 30 minutes, the devils rushed to within 50 meters of the position 4 times, and once were rushed into the position by four devils. Extremely much pressure was put on the Chinese positions, and the casualties increased sharply, reaching more than 50 people.

The battle continues. Zhou Wumu's position was in the ruins on the right side of the road, protecting the flank of the frontal position. At this time, he had made up his mind, without fear or impulse, and constantly changed positions in the foxhole, looking for the devil commander and machine gunner, and then aimed and shot like a bird. After killing the captain of the devil's squad, two military cao, six machine gun shooters, and four soldiers, Zhou Wumu unknowingly sneaked to a place less than 40 meters away from the devil. At this time, the devil also found him, 5 or 6 grenades flew towards him, he quickly pulled a broken wooden box next to him to block in front of him, and he lost consciousness in the explosion.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Wumu woke up from a coma, first slowly opened his eyes, closed his eyes again, and listened to the surrounding movements with his ears, because he was now at least 60 meters away from the main front position, and the devil had retreated, so he couldn't hear any sound, this was as quiet as death before the war. He slowly opened his eyes again, turned his head with a very careful movement, and looked around, he noticed that there was a foxhole less than an arm's length away from him, so he slowly moved to the foxhole despite the pain.

In the foxhole, Zhou Wumu began to check his body, and a two-inch-long cut was cut by shrapnel under his ribs, his head was buzzing and painful, and a piece of shrapnel was embedded in his calf. He took out his first aid kit, opened the bandage and put it in his hand, pulled out the Japanese short knife around his waist, then gritted his teeth and cut the wound on his calf, pulled out the shrapnel, and wrapped it in gauze. At this time, he was highly excited, and he did not feel a trace of pain.

Suddenly, I felt a little awkward in my back, so I took out the Japanese Datai knife I was carrying from behind my back, held it in my right hand, and held the rib difference in my left hand. Looking at these two knives, he remembered that Han Shizhong, a famous anti-gold general, also had two knives, one was called Daqing and the other was called Xiaoqing, thinking that he was fighting against foreign insults like Han Shizhong, he smiled proudly.

At noon, the two sides skirmished. Tuesday Dog smelled the smell of rice wafting from his own position, and felt that he was going to starve to death, but he did not withdraw from his position, intending to use the current vantage point to continue to beat out the devil's firepower in the afternoon, and he had already told Qian Zhiguang with gestures.

The devils began to charge after the shelling again, and Zhou Wumu poked his head out of the foxhole, wanting to see the attack of the devils, so as to wait for an opportunity to take advantage of it again, and saw five or six devils outflanking him. It turned out that these devils were also hungry for a long time to play lurking, and planned to raid the ** position nearby, but they were the first to find the same lurking Tuesday dog.

Zhou Wumu simply jumped out of the foxhole, Xiaoqing in his left hand and Daqing in his right hand, waiting for the battle (Zhou Wumu gave the two knives the name of piracy). The first devil didn't have time to withdraw the bullet, and he shot him in the head, and he pressed it with a long knife in his right hand, and the bullet punched a hole in his crotch, and he also used the tip of the long knife to cut the devil's carotid artery. Looking at the other devils again, Zhou Wumule is happy, it turns out that a few devils are busy returning bullets! Before the second devil could withdraw the bullet, he was chopped down by Zhou Wumu. As soon as the four devils formed an encirclement of Zhou Wumu, they were slashed down by his left knife and right knife attack, and the whole process did not take more than 10 seconds.

The devil in the back rushed towards him while shooting, but was put down by the machine gun on the ** position, and then, the devil's grenadier knocked out the ** machine gun, and the dog also took the opportunity to knock out the devil's grenadier canister. But more Japanese troops rushed up. Sun Rulin also took the opportunity to lead people to launch a counter-charge with submachine guns and light machine guns. has been chasing the devil out of more than 200 meters......

Back at the position, Qian Zhiguang hugged Zhou Wumu and scolded: "Why did you go over there?" Actually play a mystery for me! ”

Zhou Wumu felt a pain in his leg and sat on the ground with his buttocks. Qian Zhiguang remembered to ask: "Brother, where is the injury?" ”

"It's okay, I got shrapnel, I took it out myself." At this time, Sun Rulin rushed over with the sanitary soldiers, and the sanitary soldiers redisinfected and bandaged him. Sun Rulin gave a thumbs up: "Brother, play beautifully!" ”

"Thank you, sir, for your compliment! Quick, the devil is coming up! ”

……

A few days later, Tuesday Dog was lying on a stretcher and disarmed with the troops, holding his two Japanese knives in his arms, and he named the two knives Daqing Xiaoqing (Note: This is the name of the famous anti-gold general Han Shizhong's blade, which was infringed and pirated by Tuesday Dog. There are generally two Japanese swords, the long one is called the Daitai sword, also called the Oriental sword, and the short one is called the rib cha, which is used for disembowelment or as a dagger or short sword. On Tuesday, the dog called Da Tai Dao Daqing, and the rib difference was called Xiao Qing. )。 He was wounded by the devil's grenade again, with a piece of shrapnel in his left rib and a piece in his left leg, and he was also hit in the back by a flying stone. Of the 122 people who went into battle with him, 27 were killed, 11 were seriously wounded, and 25 were slightly wounded. On Tuesday, the dog's left leg was completely unable to move, and it was considered a serious injury.

Gao Mazhu'er, a master of stabbing in the guard battalion, was complaining: "Fuck, I've been working with the devil for several days, but I just didn't fight the bayonet, and the old man can't make a contribution!" ”

On Tuesday, the dog lay on a stretcher and interjected to him: "Anyway, I'm having a good time, my big green and small green have split 4 devils!" Cool! ”

"You cripple, no matter how angry you are, I'll break your leg!" The tall hemp pole fought back.

"You can't do it, we're brothers!" On Tuesday, the dog was still angry, and Gao Ma Pole simply ignored him.

Tuesday the dog did not give up: "Brother Gao, give my brother a cigarette, my brother fought with the devil for a long time with a bayonet, don't you treat your brother?" ”

"Are you embarrassed to smoke my cigarette? You killed 42 enemies this time, we even have the first record, and we will have to pay at least 100 yuan when we go back, but I only killed 7 and injured 11, and rewarded 20 yuan at most! ”

The high hemp pole was angry.

"Isn't it okay for me to invite you to drink when I go back? Give Gen'er a cigarette first! I'm going to die, you're not going to let me die, are you? "Tuesday the dog continued to play tricks.

"I'm scared of you! What kind of cigarettes do little furry children smoke? Gao Ma Zhu said as he lit a cigarette and stuck it in the dog's mouth.

On Tuesday, the dog was admitted to the rear hospital, and the shrapnel wound had recovered early, that is, the left leg could not move. Many people came to see him, even the army commander Cai Tingkai also came to see him.

"Wu Mu, don't worry, come back and be a guard for me when you're injured!" Cai Tingkai comforted him.

Tuesday the dog was in a dark mood, and it was the first time that he was so depressed when he was young: "Commander, I am crippled and have become a waste!" Don't comfort me! ”

"Wu Mu, you were born to be a soldier to fight, and there are generals with lame legs and broken arms! Don't be discouraged, you can become a generational leader! Commander Cai encouraged him emotionally.

"I want to go home, Commander!" Tuesday dogs miss their parents very much at this time. "I used to be ignorant, I always caused trouble for my parents, I want to go back to serve my parents and do some filial piety!"

"Okay, read more military books when you go back, and find me when you raise them and lead me with soldiers!" Commander Cai still taught earnestly.

When the dog came home on Tuesday, many people saw him off, Zhao Dahu came, Qian Zhiguang came, Sun Rulin came, Li Haoxue came, Gao Ma Gonger came, but Commander Cai didn't come, he was afraid of the sadness of parting, so he only sent someone to send a Browning pistol and many military books: Sun Tzu's Art of War, Santao Six Strategies, Ji Xiao Xinshu, and Infantry Drill Codex.

Tuesday Dog, who returned to Shanghai, has become an unknown citizen again.
