Chapter 11: Thanking Loved Ones for the Eighth Route Army
Orders that seem ridiculous are still carried out quickly, and this is the biggest difference between real soldiers and ragtags. The guard squad and the second squad were still firing at the guards behind the position, suppressing them from approaching the gate. The third squad moved all the explosives that could be found in the mine, and when he saw Huo Lu's OK gesture, the commander waved his hand: Withdraw.
Jiang Yunzhi was the last to withdraw from the position, carrying a gun and lying to Zhong Yi's side.
"Sergeant, when the enemy is near the position, you will lead the group to open fire together, not to hit people, aim those explosive detonators for me, blow them up, and let these dogs sit on our Zhonghua brand local plane."
So that's the case, Jiang Yunzhi nodded and gave a thumbs up, "Sir, high, really high!" ”
But Zhong Yi was secretly a little ashamed, the trick of the earth plane was not invented by us, I want to thank my relatives and the Eighth Route Army! But I can't say this, it's 1934, and you tell people about the Eighth Route Army, does anyone know? The Red Army was reorganized into the Eighteenth Route Army, and there were still more than two years to go.
Brown, the captain of the mine guard, dusted off the dirt on his earthy yellow wide-brimmed fur hat, very depressed, this is a group of thugs from nowhere, wearing strange clothes with colorful colors, but with fierce firepower, it seems that there are not many people, but the marksmanship is indeed accurate, the retired veterans in the guard team have lost everything, and the rest are almost all greedy for life and fear of death.
Finally, the gunfire on the position became more and more sparse, it should be that their bullets were gone, and Brown, who had been crawling on the ground for a long time and did not dare to move, stood up and blew the whistle in his mouth. The guards who thought they were outnumbered but were hit head-on eventually got up from the ground, but this army made Brown, who had participated in World War I and served as the commander of the Anzac battalion, angry, could this still be considered an army? Although we are only mine guards, we can't be like a group of fugitives, some of them have lost their wide-brimmed hats, and some of them are crookedly probing their heads and staring at the opposite position, I am afraid that as long as a gunshot sounds, this group of people can immediately climb back on the ground.
"A bunch of bastards, look at the other side, those bitches have no bullets, and you are still shrinking your heads like a bitch. You, Blank, where's your gun, FUCK, where did you throw your weapon? ”
Amid Brown's incessant cursing, the almost frightened team members finally regained some of their spirits, and Blank picked up the rifle that he had thrown behind him when he was scurrying.
"You bastards, Alain? Baron Bond has given us enough salaries, and now that someone is robbing the Baron of gold, it's time for us to fight hard! The people on the other side are out of bullets, come, kill those bitches with the rifles in your hands, and use their blood to prove that the baron is worth the money for the salary he paid us. Rush me! ”
At Brown's hoarse shout, the guards rushed to the position, and the back of the position was empty, "They have already run away, they must be hiding in the mine, find and shoot them, I will ask the boss, for every person killed, there will be a gold reward." ”
There was a howl of wolves, and there was nothing more exciting in the world than gold, and the cowards who had crawled on the ground a few minutes ago and pretended to be dead suddenly turned into ferocious kangaroos, and jumped over the makeshift bunkers at the gate. At the same time, Jiang Yunzhi, who was hiding behind the waste ore pile, took the lead in pulling the trigger, and thirty automatic assault rifles then fired, and the dense fire frightened the kangaroos who had just mustered up their courage to quickly lie on the ground, but this life-saving trick was not omnipotent. The detonator explosives under the position were detonated at once under the huge impact of the bullets, one was detonated, and immediately there was a series of explosions, one after another loud noise blew up the temporary bunker into the sky, and at the same time, there were several stumps and bloody corpses in the sky, and a miserable scream was mixed with the loud sound of the explosives exploding.
The Red Guard fighters did not shoot again, but covered their ears tightly and opened their mouths wide. This is what Zhong Yi requested, the ambush was too close to the door, and the shock wave from the huge explosion could not distinguish between friend and foe, and would cause damage to everyone. Covering your ears and opening your mouth wide can prevent your eardrum from bursting. But even so, after the explosion, Zhong Yi still felt that his ears were buzzing, and he only saw Jiang Yunzhi's mouth open and closed, but he couldn't hear anything. I can't hear clearly, so just use a gesture, Comrade Commander stood up heroically, holding a May Fourth pistol in his right hand, and waved his left hand: Comrades, rush~!
The soldiers didn't understand what the chief was playing, Qian Zhihao shouted: "Sir, there are still those who have not been killed, lie down, dangerous!" As soon as the words fell, Chief Zhong fell down and rolled down on the pile of abandoned mines.
"Sir...... Sir! Everyone was in a hurry and rushed over, and Jiang Yunzhi calmly opened fire, killing the lucky man who escaped in the explosion.
Qian Zhihao slapped himself in the mouth in annoyance, "Damn, crow's mouth!" ”
"Don't panic, sir!" Huo Lu's shouting made the soldiers stabilize a little, and in the hearts of the Red Guard soldiers, since the day they were recruited from the base barracks, they were deeply engraved with the brand of infinite faith and infinite loyalty to the supreme commander of the base, and if Zhong Yi really had an accident, then the base would enter the self-destruction procedure, and the Red Police soldiers would become rootless duckweed. Therefore, at the moment when Zhong Yi was shot just now, all the Red Alert soldiers fell into despair.
The careful Huo Lu was the first person to hug Zhong Yi, and he immediately found that Zhong Yi was shot in the head, and the helmet was not penetrated, but the impact of the bullet knocked him unconscious, and there should be no danger to his life.
Jiang Yunzhi decisively ordered Huo Lu to carry the commander, and each squad maintained a combat formation and withdrew from the mine. Qian Zhihao took the lead, and Sergeant Qian, who was still a little self-blaming because of his crow's mouth, led the soldiers of the second squad to almost all the magazines, and the guards at the gate, those who could not move, as long as they were full of limbs, replenished their guns one by one.
The guard squad and the third squad were divided into left and right, and the guards carried Zhong Yi's Huo Lu quickly through the gate and left the super pit shaft, of course, at the same time, there were more than forty gold bricks in the backpacks of the team members......
There was no word all the way, and the commander was unconscious, which made this beautiful air raid battle a lot more discolored, and the hearts of the soldiers were a little heavy. When he left the mine for more than 20 kilometers, Jiang Yunzhi ordered everyone to rest, and Qian Zhihao, who was panting, gently put down Zhong Yi on his back and let him lie down, "I said why is it so heavy, it turns out that he still has gold bricks in his pocket, and he doesn't want to die if he wants money!" The chief is really a greedy guy. ”
"Don't touch my gold!"
"Ahh Sir, when did you wake up? Qian Zhihao was frightened enough by Zhong Yi's sudden words.
"Shortly after it was put on your back."
"Then why don't you speak? Hurt us to worry! ”
"I was thinking, everyone else has run far away on my back, only you just carried it, and if I woke up at that time, it would be very unfair to the others."
"I ......"
"Hahaha......" The other Red Guard soldiers who rushed over when they heard the sound laughed.
-- From that time on, my military career was overshadowed by the fact that the commander thought that I had secretly spoken ill of him, which is why most of my brothers, who had been drafted at the same time as me, were made marquises, and I was only a colonel when I was discharged. (Excerpt from "Days with the Emperor")
Of course, there are many reasons why Qian Zhihao did not become a general in the end, the most common view is that the emperor has never been stingy with rewards for the army generals who fought on the front line, but he is much stricter with the people around him, and Qian Zhihao, who has served in the 006 regiment of the emperor's pro-army for a long time, will of course have a lot less opportunities for promotion.
And many years later, Zhong Yi himself said this: With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly. Using history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Qian Zhihao is one of the few people in the Guards Legion who can tell me bluntly, of course such a person must stay by my side to know the gains and losses! This statement is similar to what Qian Zhihao himself thinks, it sounds good, but anyway, it means that he is a poisonous tongue and lacks command ability!
Of course, this is just a joke secretly circulated in the Guards, although he did not become a general, but the emperor's trust in Qian Zhihao is unparalleled, after serving as a pro-army commander for ten years, Qian Zhihao withdrew from the military and turned to politics, and was immediately sent to Singapore, serving as the governor of Nanyang until retirement, later scholars called him the king of injustice! No one doubted that writing a memoir like "Days with the Emperor" was only qualified by Qian Zhihao among the 100,000 soldiers of the Guards.
