Chapter 10: Achievements and Spoils

"Company commander, this is the telescope and pistol used by the devil officer" Qiu Jiangong, the third squad leader, handed Liu Goat the telescope obtained from cleaning the battlefield and the southern pistol issued by the Japanese officer, but the latter kept a cold face and just turned a blind eye to Qiu Jiangong. It's not that Liu Goat is having hysteria, but his mind is still thinking about why the Japanese army will suddenly appear here, and Qiu Jiangong, who was standing in front of him, did not enter his sight at all, and in Liu Goat's consciousness, Qiu Jiangong is no different from the air.

In the dim light of the fire, through the dust that began to become thin, the ghost of Tang Cheng carrying a rifle wandered around the battlefield full of blood, except for the four Japanese wounded soldiers who were stabbed to death with bayonets by nine catties, Tang Cheng could hardly see a complete corpse, in front of him was the pit left by the explosion of the grenade, and the few burning and dancing flames in the pit were the ghost fire in the legendary hell. There were dead bodies and blood stains everywhere, red blood, black blood and white brains, and Tang Cheng had to use his hands to turn over the broken corpses of Japanese soldiers when he was looking for trophies like a veteran.

When walking through the pile of corpses, Tang Cheng was not afraid, more just disgusting, and the strong smell of blood and meat in the air made Tang Cheng almost vomit. But he can't vomit, he has to get used to this taste as soon as possible, Liu Goat has already judged that this group of Japanese soldiers should be just the top scouts of the Japanese army, and with the approach of the Japanese army, more tragic battles will come soon.

The trench behind him was crowded with veterans of the second company who were watching the excitement, and they were all looking at Tang Cheng, so Tang Cheng couldn't vomit even more. The soldiers only serve the guys who are tougher than them, and the veterans are even more so, once Tang Cheng shows his cowardice now, the future days of him and Jiujin in the second company can be imagined, so no matter what, he has to endure the nausea to complete this circle in the flesh and blood.

Tang Cheng, who returned to the trench, leaned on the sandbag as soon as his legs became weak, and Tang Cheng, whose mind was blank, didn't even hear what Qiu Jiangong said just now in front of him. "Ah, what did you just say? My mind is still a little messy" Tang Cheng's eyes suddenly became focused, and he looked at Qiu Jiangong in front of him with a confused expression. Qiu Jiangong is the oldest veteran in the second company except for Liu Goat, the previous platoon commanders were because they couldn't hold Qiu Jiangong, and the veterans cooperated to make trouble at the battalion headquarters, and the last regiment demoted Qiu Jiangong's sergeant to a corporal, if it wasn't for the promotion of the second company to one level this time, Qiu Jiangong would still be a corporal like Tang Cheng.

"Take a sip, make a sip and feel better" Qiu Jiangong took out his precious wine gourd for the first time and handed it to Tang Cheng, the wine gourd was given to him by a friend of Qiu Jiangong, but it was usually rare, and no one was allowed to move. "I forgot how old I was when I killed someone for the first time, I just remembered that there were dead people everywhere, and there were only three of us who survived, and the smell of blood was much bigger than today, and we also drank alcohol to ease up, just get used to it" Qiu Jiangong didn't mean to laugh at Tang Cheng, he just sat down with him, and said a lot of words without a head, which made Tang Cheng feel better.

"What are you talking about, this kid has killed no fewer people than you, you haven't seen those scars on his body, I'm afraid even the grinder can't compare to him, and you're still worried that he was scared and pulled it, it's absolutely impossible." Liu Shangoat, who came along the trench, sat down against Qiu Jiangong, and threw most of the pack of cigarettes that were turned out of the corpses of the Japanese soldiers to Tang Cheng, who looked a little pale.

Under Qiu Jiangong's signal, Tang Cheng pulled the plug of the gourd, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out, and the tempting aroma of wine lifted Tang Cheng's spirit. Shaking the wine gourd, Tang Cheng poured a big sip as soon as he raised his neck, and after swallowing the wine, a ball of heat instantly surged into his head from his stomach, "Good wine" Tang Cheng praised it, raised his head and took another sip, and then handed back the little wine gourd to Qiu Jiangong. Tang Cheng is not a good drinker, but he is not unable to drink, he has not stolen wine with Robert when he is a child, and the amount of alcohol is still a little, but he has never drunk a strong wine like this.

As the saying goes, drinking shows character, and Tang Cheng's drinking style made Qiu Jiangong have a little more good impression of him. "Company commander, let's see what good things I got back for you." The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield in the follow-up came back, and the old high pockmarked face was rolled up and came over with a heavy iron guy in his arms. Many soldiers in the national army only know the weapons in their own troops, but they do not know much about the weapons and equipment equipped by the Japanese army, and the iron guy who was brought back by the pockmarked face is the 50 mm grenadier equipped by the Japanese army.

When Liu Goat took the cake to exchange weapons and ammunition on the highway, he had already bought a Japanese-style 50 grenadier from the major of the rout with gold bars, and the principle of this thing is the same as that of a mortar, but the caliber and range are smaller than that of a mortar, and the lethality formed after the explosion is also smaller than that of a mortar. But its biggest advantage is that the mortar is not comparable, it is light and compact, a person can run around on his back, he can fire grenades anytime and anywhere, and the infantry grenades issued by the Japanese soldiers can also be used as its grenades, looking at the pockmarked face, their faces are excited, Liu Goat took a Japanese grenade that had just been captured, calculated the distance between himself and the field, and then used the grenadier to hit a Japanese grenade out of the field. Only a "boom" was heard, and the grenadier shot out the grenade in the center of the field, blowing up the Japanese corpses on the ground into even more broken flesh. "See, this thing is better than a mortar, and it can be used by a person." Liu Goat pointed to the black and shallow pits in the field, and said to Tang Cheng with an oath.

Tang Cheng has always been haunted by the fact that he bought back a light machine gun and a grenadier with a gold bar that day, and Liu Goat practiced the grenadier in front of everyone, which was actually proving the benefits and practicality of this thing to Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who was leaning on the trenches, was a little helpless about Liu Goat's self-satisfaction in disguise, the money had already been spent, could he still ask Liu Goat to pay back the money immediately, this is obviously an unlikely thing, since it is impossible, why should he hold on to it.

"Rich, rich." A veteran under the third squad leader Qiu Jiangong came over excitedly, and the small notebook in his hand was full of crooked pencil words, and there were not many people in the second company who could write, and this guy named Zhou Fu could barely be counted as a literacy. Zhou Fu's small notebook naturally recorded the number of trophies counted after cleaning the battlefield, the second company belonged to the 88th Division, but the second company was now temporarily transferred to the command of the teaching corps, so in the cognition of everyone in the second company, there was no need to hand over these trophies to the teaching corps, and the dozen or so Japanese spies sent back to them didn't get rewards.

"Killed 14 little devils, one should be an officer of the little devil, the pistol you are holding is that guy's, the whole person was blown up, it's hard to confirm that guy's rank, it should be a lieutenant." Taking the cigarette handed by Liu Goat and holding it in his mouth, Zhou Fu squinted at the southern pistol in Liu Goat's hand, and his tone was full of pride and ridicule. The battle loss of 1 to 14 seems to be the first time in the history of the second company and the Japanese army, and it is no wonder that Zhou Fu was so happy that he even forgot about Yang Douzi's death.

Fighting will always kill people, either you die or he dies, these veterans who have experienced the cruelty of war have consciously avoided talking about Yang Douzi, not all of them are cold-blooded, and because they have seen too much death and cruelty. Seeing that it has made them numb and indifferent to death, even if Liu Goat dies in front of everyone's eyes now, I believe that the guys in the second company will eat and sleep as usual, and continue to eat and wait for death as usual.

"The intact Japanese 38 rifles and 820 rounds of ammunition were found, 27 Japanese grenades, no light machine guns, a 50-millimeter grenadier, 7 grenadier grenades, and a Japanese military ticket and several first-aid kits." Zhou Fu pursed his lips and took a cigarette in his mouth, and whispered the content he had written down in the small notebook to Liu Goat. There was no shortage of rifles and bullets in the second company now, and the only trophies of the trophies were the grenades and the grenadiers, and of course the first aid kits were also good things that could come in handy.

"Company commander, the teaching team is coming" Biao Zi, who was in charge of guarding, rushed over with a rifle, he was followed by more than a dozen figures, waiting for the person to come closer and take a closer look, it turned out to be the search unit of the teaching team in Guanghuamen. Yang Xiao's outpost position was only 7 or 8 miles away from Guanghua Gate, and the series of explosions and machine gun fire just now, these search troops cruising outside Guanghua Gate must have heard it, but Liu Goat didn't expect these guys to come directly to him.

"Company Commander Liu, the regiment headquarters asked you what are you shooting for here? Did the Japanese army touch it? If the Japanese army sneak attack at night, you will rely on the position to repel them, if the number of Japanese troops is too large, the regiment headquarters orders you to directly withdraw to Guanghuamen" Although those sparks in the field outside the position have been extinguished, the smell of blood and burnt paste is still strong, and it is impossible for the search team who came to find out not to smell it, and after a few words of greeting with Liu Goat, the platoon commander who led the team directly entered the topic to ask the reason.

"Okay, I know what to do, you go back and tell Commander Xie that the sneak attack is the Japanese army's search pioneers, who have been repelled by us, I have killed one person in the battle and slightly injured three people" Liu Goat took the small notebook in Zhou Fu's hand and looked at it fakely, and then said, "I captured 9 Japanese 38 rifles, killed a Japanese lieutenant, captured an officer's pistol, and the bullets have not been counted" As he spoke, Liu Goat asked Zhou Fu to re-record what he just said, So that when the search team returned to Guanghuamen, it was brought back and reported to the Second Regiment of the Teaching Team, but the grenadier that was stepped on by Pozi Face and Qiu Jiangong was not on the trophy list.
