Chapter 44: The Third Class of Private Discussions

The body of the 92-step gun shook, the cannon ejected and flew to the Japanese position, and the observer hidden in the mountains and forests corrected the coordinates of the 92-step gun according to the explosion point after the shell landed, and fired 5 shells out in a row, and finally there was a loud "boom" in the Japanese position, and a huge fireball rose into the air, and Tang Lei, who was lying 500 meters away from the Japanese position, felt a shaking of the mountain.

"Hit, it's the place where the Japanese army is hoarding ammunition" Bob, who had been holding the binoculars, watched with his own eyes that section of the trench turned into a ball of fireball, and the ammunition that had exploded scattered in all directions, knocking down many Japanese puppet troops within a radius of 100 meters around that section of the trench to the ground. The Jewish artillerymen who operated the 92-step cannon screamed and dragged the cannon back into the concealed fortifications, firing more than 30 shells, and only this time could be regarded as the most painful.

Shelled the opponent's ammunition hoarding point, Zhao Zhi gave the order for a cease-fire, the sky has gradually darkened, what Zhao Zhi has to do now is to let his soldiers recuperate, and when midnight comes, launch a night attack on the position of the Japanese puppet army, and strive to defeat them at one time. The defeat during the day was infinitely magnified as night fell, the cries and screams of the wounded were even more unbearable like ghosts crying wolf, and the Japanese puppet soldiers, who had not eaten hot food at noon, did not dare to light the fire at night, and they all curled up in the trenches and gnawed on the dry food that had become rancid.

"What's going on? I said yes, I said when I set off, it's not easy to get our errand, how about now? Even the Japanese can't stand it," several Imperial Allied troops gathered together and listened to one of the veteran ruffians talking nonsense. After gnawing two meals of dry food in a row, even the drinking water was supplied according to the amount, but whether it was dry food or drinking water, the amount in the hands of the Imperial Allied Army was less than that of the Japanese soldiers, so in the trenches after dark, piles of Imperial Allied troops gathered together and whispered and complained.

The abnormality of the Imperial Allied Army, the Ghost Soul and his officers have long been aware of it, but now the number of casualties among the Japanese soldiers under their command is much higher than that of the Imperial Allied Army, and when the dry food and drinking water were distributed for dinner, the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army and the Japanese soldiers under them had already clashed, but fortunately, an officer under the Ghost Soul and the Countryside intervened to stop it, otherwise the situation would have expanded, maybe the two sides would have used their guns. Some of the officers under the Ghost Shadow Village suggested that the officers of the Imperial Allied Army who were passive in combat should be severely punished, and as long as they resorted to killing chickens and monkeys, these Imperial Allied troops would become honest and obedient.

For this proposal, the Ghost Soul Nearland has an opposing attitude, the number of the Imperial Alliance Army in the position has greatly exceeded the number of Japanese soldiers, one accidentally triggered a mutiny, even if the Ghost Ghost Near Hometown can finally suppress the Imperial Cooperative Army to control the situation, then they will have to pay huge casualties. In just 6 days, from Wuxiang to the present, the 1,100 Japanese soldiers under the command of the ghost and the countryside have suffered forty percent of the casualties, if there is a conflict with the Imperial Association and then causes casualties among his own soldiers, then there is no need for the thunderous troops to shoot, I am afraid that he himself will have to order the troops to return to Wuxiang by the same way.

Therefore, anxious for the current ambiguous attitude of the ghost and the near country, many Imperial Cooperative troops ignored the Japanese soldiers around them, and gathered together in piles to whisper and complain. The fear of thunder was magnified several times as the night fell, and the Japanese puppet soldiers who were killed by bullets during the daytime artillery battle had already pushed the more than 1,000 Imperial Allied troops who were still alive to the brink of collapse, at least everyone together could bring them a sense of security and comfort.

"I heard that Thunder has a bounty order, as long as you kill the Japanese soldiers and take the identity card on their bodies, you can go to receive the reward, and any bank and money bank in all the national control areas can be cashed, and the officials are more valuable than the small soldiers" The amazing veteran ruffian of the Imperial Association Army continued to whisper without caring about the eyes of the people next to him looking at him, "Remember the original Captain Lei in Chengde, I heard that he has now brought some brothers who originally followed him in Hebei to make small Japan, do you know what the people call them?" Bounty hunters, hunters who specialize in killing Japanese soldiers"

"Old Northeast, these are not outsiders, we used to be in the national army and we didn't have a little Japan, what do you want to say directly, don't hide like a girl and let the brothers guess" The words of the old Northeast Yunshan fog cover made the Imperial Association Army gathered around him a little unhappy, they are all brothers who have been reorganized, these people are all familiar with each other, the words of the old Northeast obviously have the meaning of visitation, which makes everyone very uncomfortable, and the guy with that straightforward personality asked directly.

"Okay, good, okay, I'll just say, that's it" Lao Dongbei stretched out his hand to block the few arms that were going to knock his head, and put on a low and small look, which calmed everyone's anger a little, "Let's come here and what happened on the way, everyone has seen it, the thunder of the people just sent some small troops to make it difficult for more than 2,000 of us to move an inch, and this morning I killed the 40 sharp soldiers in front of the Japanese, Do you think the people of Thunder will let us stay here so peacefully and sleep so peacefully? ”

Lao Northeast's words still made the Imperial Cooperative Army around him a little confused, only the squad leader Yi Shui, who was very close to Lao Northeast on weekdays, had a change in his eyes. When the Japanese army occupied the three eastern provinces, the old Northeast mixed up with the refugees and fled into the pass, and in order to make a living in a local security regiment in Chengde, after North China fell into the hands of the Japanese army, the security regiment where the old Northeast was located was reorganized into the Imperial Army. As the war continued to expand, they were pulled to the front line to help defend the security of the Japanese theater.

In the eyes of everyone, Lao Northeast is a drunken and gambling ruffian, only people who are familiar with Lao Northeast will know that this guy used to be a platoon commander of the Northeast Army, and he is a guy with rich battlefield experience. The infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army, where the old northeast is located, was transferred from North China to Shanxi to fight, and the third squad where he is located has the lowest casualty rate, and all the people in the third squad know that this is inseparable from the battlefield experience of the old northeast.

Squad leader Yi Shui is the fastest one in his brain, and it is not the first time that he has been surrounded by anti-Japanese troops, but it is the first time that Lao Northeast is so depressed, so he immediately asked in a lost voice, "You mean that the thunder people will come to rob the camp at night?" ”

"Hey, this is what you said, I didn't say that, give me nine guts I don't dare to say this, this is disturbing the morale of the army, if the Japanese know, my guy who eats will not be able to keep it" Old Northeast looked frightened and looked left and right. The ghost and the countryside are extremely strict with the troops, especially the treatment of their imperial army, it is even more harsh and harsh, one accidentally falls into his hands, and he has to be whipped, if he is unlucky, he may be directly pulled out and shot.

The two armies faced each other, and it was common to rob the camp in the middle of the night, and the Japanese army would often attack at night or something, but the defeat of the Japanese army during the day, everyone could see it, and if the thunderous people really came to rob the camp at night, it would be terrible. "What are you afraid of, the main target of the thunder is the Japanese, we are a small miscellaneous fish, people are afraid that they can't look down on it" The words of the old Northeast made the panicked three classes of people settle down, the old Northeast is true, starting from the attack on the mountains and forests, the bullets shot by the thunder people are like having eyes, and the casualties of the Japanese soldiers are far greater than those of the Imperial Army.

"That's not a hit, it's the middle of the night, if there is really a fight, who can tell the difference between the Japanese and us, the bullet doesn't have eyes. Besides, if the Thunder men happen to come from this place we are defending to rob the camp, then shall we shoot or not? The feud of the people who killed them is settled, but if we don't shoot, those Japanese will definitely not let us go" Lao Dongbei and squad leader Yi Shui persuaded for a long time, and everyone's mood eased slightly, but new problems came, and some people raised new questions, which is also the question that everyone is most concerned about, if the people of Thunder really come to rob the camp, what should they do?

"What to do? Of course, it's important to save your life, let's follow the Japanese just to make a living, and we can't afford to put our lives into it" Lao Dongbei pulled open his bolt and showed everyone the empty chamber, "Lao Tzu's gun has no bullets at all, and when digging trenches in the afternoon, the bayonet was also broken, it's not that I don't fight back, I have no ammunition and weapons and can't fight back" Lao Dongbei's words were a little trying to cover up, and the broken bayonet may have been the result of his intention, but everyone didn't say anything.

The trenches fell silent, everyone sat silently together, indeed just like the old Northeast said, everyone wore the military uniform of the Imperial Army, not to follow the Japanese to the black and hardcore traitors, if they can really give everyone a way to live, who wants to be pointed at the backbone of the common people and scolded the traitors and lackeys. It was only 6 days after coming out of Wuxiang, and there were almost 30% casualties, and the artillery fire that the Japanese had been relying on did not take advantage today, but was pressed by the thunderous artillery fire for half an afternoon, and they just stayed still, once the dry food and drinking water were exhausted, and there was no need for the thunder to attack, they had to be forced to attack or retreat.

Someone moved in the silence, and with the movement of the first person, all the people in the third class, including the squad leader Yi Shui, slowly pulled the bolt of the gun and withdrew the bullet in the butt. The bullets that Huang Chengcheng dropped at his feet were picked up and stuffed back into the bullet pouch on his body, and the rifles of more than a dozen people in the third shift were all empty. "Squad Leader Yi, it's time for your third shift, be careful of the Japanese, I see that those guys are a little angry" The second squad that was about to get off the post sent someone to call the third shift to change the guard, and the people of the third shift looked at each other with empty guns and smiled, and the depression just now was gone.
