The Japanese army slaughtered Chengjiazhai, the chickens and dogs were not left, the houses were burned down, and the bud valley was burned to the ground, so he returned satisfied.

When the troops marched to the Tiger Leaping Stream, they were suddenly hit by fierce firepower, and a bullet killed His Excellency the Captain, and the troops were leaderless, and they were in chaos for a while, and before joining the gendarmerie, Takayoshi Hashimoto had served as a squad leader in the Kwantung Army, and had rich experience in commanding grass-roots field troops, so he quickly took over the command, calmly issued orders, and organized a counterattack.

From the exchange of fire, it can be discerned that at least five grenadiers are firing at the enemy, and the short burst of light machine guns is short and powerful, Hashimoto Takayoshi knew that he had encountered the enemy's elite troops, he asked the Takasago soldiers to detour back to the rear to contain the enemy, and when the battle began, he ordered the gendarmes to break through first.

There is an iron chain bridge on the Tiger Leaping Stream, the bridge is paved with wooden planks, people walk on it and sway left and right, you can see the abyss below, because the bridge is too narrow, it can only accommodate a single person to pass, Hashimoto Shaozo let the soldiers run through, do not delay, the first soldier rushed over, stepped on the chain bridge and shook it, and saw that he was about to reach the opposite bank, a shot flew in, and the soldier's head blossomed.

There are snipers!

At this moment, a sniper can't stop the troops from breaking through, under the urging of Hashimoto Shaosa, the soldiers continue to cross the bridge with their waists bent, machine guns and grenadiers shooting wildly, but the sniper who doesn't know where he is is still harvesting life one by one, and at first he also focused on hitting the head, and then he didn't care about the headshot, the body, arms and legs, as long as he could hit the place, he didn't let go.

Ten minutes later, the bridge was already full of corpses, and no one stepped on the cliff on the other side of the Tiger Leaping Stream.

How did he know that on the opposite hill, there was a squad of soldiers behind the bolt pillar, half of the squad helped him press the bullet, and half of the squad helped him pull the bolt of the gun, and the young hunter only needed to take aim with the gun, pull the trigger, and send the devil soldiers to hell one by one.

The heart of the bolt pillar is like ice, his father is dead, Uncle Zhao is dead, Chengjiazhai is full of smoke, presumably his mother and the villagers are more auspicious, he has no time to be sad at this moment, because he is a hunter, he is a soldier, and the only thing he has to do is to hunt these beasts and robbers who broke into their homes to burn and loot.

Takayoshi Hashimoto shoved a soldier: "Rush!" ”

The soldier trembled, held back for a while, suddenly screamed, rushed out with a rifle, jumped and rushed onto the chain bridge, Hashimoto Shaosa lay in the grass and held up a telescope to carefully observe the movement on the opposite bank, suddenly saw a flash of fire, the soldier on the bridge shot blood arrows in the chest, and fell to the sky.

"Fire!" Hashimoto pointed to the distance and shouted, grenadiers and heavy machine guns hit together, blades of grass were splashed, rocks were flying, a bolt hit a shrapnel, and he immediately fainted, as soon as he fell, the sniper team lost more than half of its combat effectiveness, and the Japanese army regrouped and rushed across the chain bridge in one go,......

When Zhu Zhu woke up, he was already lying in the field hospital of the Eighth Route Army, Ye Xuefeng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him with concern: "Zhu Zhu, you have been lying for three days and three nights." ”

"Have you wiped out the devil?" Zhu Zhu asked eagerly.

Ye Xuefeng shook his head: "The devil's firepower is too strong, we can't completely annihilate the enemy, and they fled, but this battle also killed dozens of enemies, which can be regarded as avenging the villagers of Chengjiazhai." ”

Ye Wei walked over and said, "Zhu'er, you must be hungry after lying down for so long, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Auntie, I don't have the ability, I didn't kill Hashimoto." The bolt was ashamed.

"I can't kill him this time, and there will be another time." Ye Wei cheered him on, since Zhao Ziming's sacrifice, she has become much more mature, she does not delay in taking care of the children at work, she is busy all day without touching the ground, she sleeps for a few hours, and her meals are all indiscriminate, which makes people feel distressed, everyone knows that she is using her busyness to drive away sadness.

"We still have a chance." Ye Xuefeng echoed.

Old Sean came to check the wound of the bolt column, and it healed very well, basically no big problem, he sighed: "Young man, you are as strong as a leopard, you are really a natural warrior." ”

The bolt got out of bed and looked around: "Where's my gun?" ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "Bolt pillar, come back." ”

The bolt pillar was silent for a while, and then said, "No, I have important things to do, and I am not free in the team. ”

Ye Xuefeng said: "You can't kill Hashimoto with your own strength, there is the Eighth Route Army to help you avenge, why do you bother yourself so much." ”

Zhu Zhu was extremely stubborn, without saying a word, packed up his things and staggered away, Ye Wei, who came back with a roasted potato, asked in surprise: "Zhu'er, where are you going?" ”

"Go to war." The figure of the bolt pillar gradually faded away, and the big green mountain in June was full of red mountains.

……

At the end of May, Chen Zikun flew to London, England, to participate in the "Operation Overlord" landing in France as a military observer of the Republic of China.

It's already hot in China this month, but the temperature in Europe is not high, and the rain has made everyone restless, eager to clear up and go to France.

As a high-ranking observer of the Allied forces, Chen Zikun was allowed to attend a military conference chaired by Eisenhower, and gained a certain understanding of the operational deployment, and the Allied forces used hundreds of main warships, thousands of aircraft, and hundreds of thousands of troops to force their way across the English Channel and land in Normandy, thus washing away the shame of fleeing from Dunkirk.

The scale of the whole campaign, the number of troops and weapons used, is amazing, especially Chen Zikun from China, simply impressed, the United States military force is too strong, in just two years produced countless warships, tanks, aircraft, artillery, armed almost all the country's armies, if these forces are placed in Asia, will not be devastating, Japan has the power to fight back.

On the afternoon of 5 June, Chan and his inseparable orderly Jimmy White boarded an American destroyer, which Eisenhower had prepared for him with a much larger tonnage, but Chan thought that the destroyer would be easier to get closer to the beach for observation, so he boarded the Frankfurt.

In the evening, the warships left the harbor, the whole formation on the ocean, the sea breeze was blowing, the fleet under the night sky was magnificent, the sky was dark and oppressive, it was a glider full of paratroopers, the 82nd and 101st divisions of the US army were ordered to parachute behind enemy lines, seize important bridges and arteries, many of these brave soldiers will die tonight.

At dawn, as the fleet approached the French coastline, the explosion of bombers bombing the Germans' Atlantic ramparts could already be heard in the distance, and the large-caliber guns of battleships and cruisers joined the ground support, and the muzzles of the guns flashed with huge orange-red muzzle flames, and the sound was deafening.

On the Frankfurt, Chen Zikun picked up a high-powered telescope and looked at Omaha Beach in the distance, which is one of the Allied landing sites, countless landing craft sailed to the beach by breaking through the wind, and when there were still dozens of meters from the coast, the hatch opened, and the infantry jumped into the sea with heavy equipment on their backs, and many people were killed by machine guns before they could climb ashore, and in just twenty minutes, the water at the shoals turned red.

The landing force did not make any progress, was pressed on the beach and slaughtered, the Germans' MG42 machine guns rang non-stop, the sound was like tearing sackcloth, it can be seen that the rate of fire is high, and the flat-fire guns and mortars of various calibers blew up a mass of flesh and blood on the beach, while the Allies did not have any weapons to fight back, most of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in the landing craft, the infantry lost their armor, and many people did not even have weapons in their hands.

Thousands of young men's lives hung by a thread, Chen Zikun couldn't sit still, and asked the captain of the Frankfurt to shoot at close range to support the infantry.

The captain was a lieutenant commander, and he was also in a hurry, but a warship was no better than a landing craft, and could sail very close to the beach, and could only shoot two shots from a few nautical miles through the itching of his boots.

"It has to be closer, closer." Chen Zikun urged loudly in the bridge command room, the naval officers glared at him dissatisfied, and the captain refused unceremoniously: "I'm sorry Your Excellency, you have no right to order me." ”

Chen Zikun smiled bitterly, he was only a military observer, even if he came with the qualifications of a brigadier general of the US army, he would not be able to give orders to the navy, he immediately said: "Okay, please give me a lifeboat." ”

The captain asked, "Your Excellency, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to land, to be with the boys." Chan was not joking, he asked Jimmy: "Put on the helmet, and my rifle." ”

"Yes!" Jimmy ran back to the cabin with a smoke, took two steel helmets, a Garand rifle and a carbine, Chen Zikun put on the steel helmet, pulled the chin strap, hung the grenade, and pulled the bolt with a bang.

A group of naval officers were dumbfounded, they did not expect a Chinese to have such courage.

"Is the lifeboat ready?" Chan said.

The captain said, "General, please wait, I'll try to get closer." ”

The naval officers stopped grumbling, and one by one, their expressions were serious, and the captain's orders were repeated, and the Frankfurt went straight ahead, rushing to Omaha Beach in a stranded position.

The destroyer rushed to a place less than a kilometer from the coast, and with one shot, knocked out a German firepower point, the sailors shouted excitedly, and under the command of the captain, the warship turned sideways to the beach, and the ship's guns fired at full power, supporting the landing infantry with dense artillery fire.

"Well done!" Chan gave a thumbs up.

The captain replied with a triumphant gesture.

Led by the destroyer Frankfurt, more destroyers approached to shoot, and the situation on the beach improved considerably, but it was still unable to attack.

Chen Zikun still insisted on landing in a lifeboat, the captain hesitated but agreed to him, and sent four sailors to paddle him, the rubber boat was thrown into the water, and the group climbed the rope down, Chen Zikun was looking down to check the rifle, and suddenly heard a shout from above: "General!" ”

Looking up, several sailors solemnly saluted him.

Chen Zikun raised his right hand to the eaves of the steel helmet and waved it forward in a dashing manner.

Covered by the destroyer's fire, the lifeboat rushed to the shore, and Chan waded knee-high to the shore, his arrival shocking the struggling infantry on the beach.

Because his M1 steel helmet has a shining star on it.
