That night, after digging a night of trenches on the mountainside, the soldiers, after a little rest, were putting themselves in order, the baggage men bringing in the bullets, the riflemen replenishing the ammunition and loading the one hundred and twenty rounds into the waist magazines, and the machine gunners and assistant shooters refilled the empty magazines while replenishing the ammunition.

As they prepared for this, boxes of grenades were opened and placed flat on the chest wall of the trenches, the metal caps behind the grenades were unscrewed, and the fuse cords attached to the porcelain balls were exposed, which may have been the calm after a great battle.

Nestled in the trenches, Shi Jingde wrote something in his notebook, then "clicked" the broken pencil, and then threw the pencil into the muddy trench underfoot.

"On March 21, 4603 in the Yanhuang calendar, this may be my last note, people have a death, but if I can die today, I will die without regrets!"

At this time, Shi Jingde's heart was very calm, looking at the misty Hengdao Hezi, he knew that today, maybe it would be the peak of his life's glory, capture Fushun City, and completely annihilate the Yalu River Army, whether it is for soldiers or individuals, will be the peak of the glory of life, and for him, maybe the apex of life is whether it can be.

He examined the submachine gun, checked the pistol, wiped the dirt from the gun, and finally filled the kettle, and when everything was ready, he muttered to himself.

"Alright, it's up to today!"

Earlier the signal corps brought an order from the corps command that was erratically issued:

"The Sixth Division of the Army has crossed the gap in our army's defense last night and is reinforcing Fushun, I hope that your unit will add color to the flag of the legion, and you must stick to it before 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and you must seize the opportunity to capture Fushun! Annihilate the Yalu River Army! Shine for the Legion Banner! ”

The order was directly sent from the regimental headquarters to the defensive positions stationed in Hengdaohezi, and everyone from the regiment commander to the company and platoon commander below could understand this order, and they could also realize what kind of price the 72nd Regiment would pay for this order.

"Platoon Leader!"

"Hmm!"

Shi Jingde raised his head, what he saw was a young face under the white cloth steel helmet, this was the baby, he had joined the army by concealing his age, and he was not yet fifteen years old.

"You say, if I die, my mother can really get 800 yuan!"

"Baby, have you seen the play? Haven't you seen the emperor in it! ”

Shi Jingde didn't answer him directly, "I've seen it!" ”

The baby nodded, but the emperor was a little confused about what he said in the play, there were Ming Jun and faint Jun in the play.

"When the emperor speaks, it is a golden rule, every word is true, and there is no remorse, as long as the emperor promises it, saying that you can hold 800 yuan, you will definitely be able to take it!"

Although he said so, Shi Jingde knew that the 800 yuan was paid in three parts, the first 300 was paid, and the remaining 500 was paid to their families on a monthly basis within ten years, and there were such and such conditions, and the country did not have that much money at all.

"Hmmm! Or sir, you know a lot! ”

When a young boy thinks about it, it seems to be this reason, this will be a little more relaxed, the official will coax the people, but the emperor will never deceive the people.

"If I die, with 800 yuan, my mother and my brother will have a fortune in this life!"

The poor man's child is in charge of the house early, and when he said this, the baby's face was slightly comforted.

Looking at him, Shi Jingde sighed in his heart, I don't know how many people have joined the army for a military salary of ten yuan, even if they don't retreat from the battle during the war, it is also for the eight hundred yuan pension, and there can be a pension for the destruction of the whole army, but if you become a deserter, the pension can't be lost, not to mention the military law, and finally you will post a police call in your hometown to wake up the world, and the names of those heroes who have been honored also appear in the newspaper.

"Alright, baby!"

Shi Jingde patted the baby's shoulder, looked at his childish face and smiled.

"To fight, you don't have to die, you have to live, not only do you have to live proudly, we also have to defeat myself, you know, Your Majesty has divided 20 million acres of Xuntian in the northeast, and in the future, you will be discharged from the army, not only will you have a retirement pension, but you will also be a small landlord with 20 acres of land!"

Shi Jingde's words are well-founded, and this is a promise made by His Majesty the Emperor to all officers and soldiers after the "Imperial [***] Retirement Guarantee Act" passed by the Consultative Council requested by the Council.

There are 20 million mu in Northeast China, 3 million mu in Hetao, 15 million mu in Outer Mongolia, 10 million mu in Xinjiang Province, and 3 million mu in Qinghai, making a total of 50 million mu of land.

But now Shi Jingde mentioned the 20 million acres in the northeast, and now the big guy is not only for the country, His Majesty, and the army to fight this battle, but also for his own one acre and three points of land, for these hard-working soldiers, there is nothing more tempting than the twenty acres of Xuntian, even if they die on the battlefield, his family can get the twenty acres of land, and the only thing they have to do is to defeat Yue himself, only in this way, can they win Xuntian.

"Hehe, it's still Your Majesty who is thinking about our ...... as soldiers"

The chief's words made the baby's eyes show a hint of longing, twenty acres of land, if there are twenty acres of land, the old lady and brother will not be hungry.

"Sir, this soldier!"

The sudden warning sound interrupted the baby's thoughts, and as soon as he heard the soldier, he immediately grabbed the gun and aimed it ahead.

Picking up the binoculars divided into two halves, Shi Jingde walked towards an unknown hill in the distance, at the bend of the hill intersection, a group of troops were advancing in the direction of their position, and an officer and a sharp soldier were pointing at their position on a dirt road, and they were in a good position here, just guarding the S-shaped mountain road intersection.

"Heavy, did you look at the officer?"

Shi Jingde put down the telescope in his hand, shouted, and pointed at the officer.

"Kill him!"

As soon as the sound fell, the machine gunner picked up the Type 02 machine gun, aimed for a while, pulled the trigger and fired two two-shot shots in succession, and after a burst of light machine gun fire rang out, the officer who was still at the intersection, pointing at the position, was immediately shot several times and lay in a pool of blood.

"Whoosh......"

The next moment, after the army was silent for a while, after more than ten minutes, the shells came, half of the sky was red, field artillery, howitzers, mountain artillery, and shells smashed from the top of the head to the Shijingde position, and the shells crossed various arcs and lines in the air, and finally landed on the position.

"Boom ......"

Continuous shelling lifted fragments of ash several meters high on the position. The explosion was almost deafening. When the shattered soil fell from the sky, it filled in the trenches that were not deep, burying the people in the trenches under the clumps of earth.

"Phew! I call you the second sister of your grandmother's aunt......"

As soon as he crawled out of the soil, Shi Jingde heard the big man Zhao beside him, first spit out the soil in his mouth, and then scolded loudly.

"The tender pussy of the second sister!"

"It's still painful to see red as soon as you get it!"

The soldiers who had escaped a round of shelling began to use their accustomed words to relieve their nervousness, and here they could not dig deep trenches due to the geological conditions, and there were no anti-artillery holes, at most they could harbor half a person.

This is the third time he has been buried in the ground.

This time, the artillery of the Japanese army was like an endless number of shells, and the shelling began more than 10 minutes ago. They bullied the 72 regiment in Hengdaohezi, that is, there was not enough artillery, and there were not enough shells to suppress their artillery. They feasted on shells, and even pulled field artillery directly to the area close to the front line. Forward artillery carried out direct shelling of the positions of the Guards in order to completely destroy the defensive positions of the Guards before the charge.

He looked around, Zhao Dazi, Ma Daha, Liang Zhu, and mustache...... Not bad that everyone is still alive! All are alive.

Hey! What about the baby?

"Baby! Baby! ”

While gouging his ears, Shi Jingde shouted loudly. But no matter what he shouted. I felt that my voice was like a mosquito. In the buzzing ears, nothing could be heard at all.

And beside him there was nothing but dirt or dirt, and the baby went there.

"Baby! You're fucking angry! ”

Thinking of that childish face, Shi Jingde's heart tightened, he didn't want the youngest brother in the platoon to die before he could fight.

Suddenly. The dirt beside him moved, and the next second a steel helmet covered with a white cloth appeared, and the white cloth on the steel helmet was torn by something.

"Baby!"

Shi Jingde shouted while desperately digging with his hands. It was only a dozen seconds before a baby face covered in mud appeared in front of him.

"Report, ah...... The 27th Division... Bah! 72 Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 9th Company, Senior Private. Cough, cough, Li Dawa. Still...... It's alive."

"Good. You're still alive, boy, and your life is big enough! ”

"Sir, I'm the king of Yama and I'm annoyed!"

Shi Jingde, whose ears were roaring, vaguely heard Li Dawa's words clearly, and then looked at his smiling face.

"Huh...... If you don't accept it, just don't accept it! ”

Looking at the baby's appearance, Shi Jingde laughed, this kid was still joking there at this time.

"Sir, are you alright?"

The baby grabbed the muddy soil that was pressing on her body, and desperately pulled her legs out of the mound.

"I'm fine!"

"Platoon commander, when will the devil charge?"

The baby pulled up the sleeve that had been bulleted through two holes and wiped her face. A snot snap. Last night's infiltration was circuitous, and many soldiers in the platoon contracted a small cold.

"They fired three rounds of artillery, just like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, and this round of artillery was finished as soon as it was fired. It's definitely going to be attacked. ”

Shi Jingde said with great confidence, the Sixth Division passed through the gap in the defense line, and they didn't bring more shells, these three rounds of artillery, at least a few hundred rounds, must have wanted to rely on these three rounds of artillery to smash the defense line, and then rushed over with a lot of energy, rushed to Fushun and defended the city with the Yalu River Army.

"Xiao Yue is going to come up."

It was Ma Daha's shout, Shi Jingde stretched his head out of the trench to look, only to see a group of navy blue figures in the distance on the muddy road, which was dragging some heavy steps, rushing towards in a dense line formation.

"That's it! Brothers, it's time to serve a great dish to King Yama! ”
