The officers and men of the 19th Brigade also opened fire while wading through the water.

Xu Shijiu walked at the front of the team empty-handed, and from time to time stray bullets flew over his head with a scream, or poofed into the water not far in front of him, at a distance of a thousand meters, if you can also be hit by the stray bullets fired by the other party, you really have nothing to say except sigh and back.

At such a long distance, Gao Shenxing was also unable to accurately hit the target, because the initial velocity of the neutral bullet was 810 meters per second, and a distance of 1,000 meters meant that the bullet had to fly in the air for at least more than a second, which was enough to make gravity and wind seriously disturb the trajectory.

But after entering the 500 meters, the Nationalist army began to suffer casualties.

"Boom ......" A bullet almost brushed against Xu Shijiu's cheek, and the scorching wave of air made his facial muscles hurt, but Xu Shijiu didn't blink his eyelids, many years of military career, struggling in blood and fire for a long time, he was already used to such scenes, he knew that it was useless to hide in this situation.

It's even worse to retreat, he is the commander of the 19th Brigade, and as soon as he shrinks, the spirit of the entire team will be immediately discharged.

There was a scream behind him, no need to look back, Xu Shijiu knew that there must be another brother who was hit by a stray bullet from Little Japan, Little Japan squatted on the roof and shot, his posture was stable, he still had an advantage over the national army wading through the water, and their archery skills were indeed more accurate than the national army.

He hadn't gone far when there was another scream behind him, and another veteran had fallen.

Xu Nineteen was so distressed that he trembled, these veterans were all in the blood, they were the most valuable property of the Nineteenth Brigade, Xu Nineteen would never want them to sacrifice like this, but he had no other choice, this week, the more than one hundred remnants of the Nineteenth Brigade had hardly eaten a decent meal, except for the bark of the grass, if he didn't get some supplies, Xu Nineteen was very worried that the remaining hundred and ten people would die in Zeguo.

What's more, Xu Shijiu never wanted to let go of the dozen or so little Japan on the muzzle.

A few days ago, Shu Tongwen didn't know where to get a pamphlet, the book is called "On Protracted War", written by the Communist leader Mao Zedong, Xu Shijiu does not think that the communist guerrillas can become a climate, but he strongly agrees with the views put forward in the book, small Japan is an island country, lack of resources, especially human resources, every time they die a soldier on the battlefield, the lack of manpower will be exacerbated, Zuihou will eventually fall into the dilemma of having no soldiers to recruit and no army to adjust.

Therefore, Xu 19 was never willing to let go of any opportunity to kill or injure Japanese soldiers.

"Captain, Captain......" There was a sudden excited roar of the black blind man behind him, Xu Shijiu looked back, but saw that the black blind man's mountain-like body was actually exposed above the knee on the waterline, and the water here was originally chest-deep, and there was a small mound where the black blind man was standing, but it was not under the waterline, so he didn't see it just now.

"Machine gun, machine gun" After obtaining Xu Nineteen's consent, the black blind man turned around and shouted at the mound five hundred meters away behind him, gesturing and shouting, and the four remnants quickly emerged from behind the mound, carrying the only remaining Makqin heavy machine gun of the Nineteenth Brigade and rushed over in troubled waters, and five minutes later, the heavy machine gun was erected.

With the Makqin heavy machine gun and a stable firing point, there was no suspense in this encounter, and in the dull roar of the heavy machine gun, the mm caliber bullets fired at the roofs of more than a dozen houses where the little Japanese were accommodated with a stable trajectory, and several Japanese soldiers were stacked on the roof on the spot, and the remaining Japanese soldiers hurriedly hid behind the roof.

The firepower of the Japanese army was completely suppressed, Xu 19 and Gao Shenxing took the opportunity to swim over with more than a dozen remnants of the water, Zhang Youquan and Shu Tongwen also led more than a dozen veterans to swim over from the left and right wings, and soon cleared out the six or seven Japanese soldiers who hid in the back of the roof and resisted, and Xu 19 also stabbed to death the Japanese soldier Cao Chang with his own hands.

Xu 19 pulled out the bayonet from the heart of the Japanese soldier Cao Chang, and wiped the blood stains on the dirty military uniform of the little Japan, at this time, there was a sudden roar of the black blind man on the roof of another house not far away, Xu 19 looked back quickly, only to see that the black blind man was like an enraged black bear, holding Wang Yidao's large knife in the madness, only a moment of effort, the Japanese corpses on the roof had been dismantled by him, and the large knife that had been curled was also broken.

Xu 19 soon knew the reason why the black blind man went crazy, little Japan set up an iron pot on the back of the big tile house, and there was a baby body stewed in the iron pot that had not been eaten

In fact, it is not only the Japanese who eat people, but also the Chinese themselves.

Huayuankou burst the embankment, the surging Yellow River water flooded down, millions of people were drowned in a few days, tens of millions of people were displaced, homeless, these people who were driven away from their homes by the flood, can only help the old and young to trek west, the Han nationality is a nation with 5,000 years of civilization precipitation, in thousands of years of reproduction, they have summed up countless experiences, including avoiding famine, Shandong people encounter famine years to go to the east of the country, Shanxi people encounter famine years to go to the west mouth, Guangzhou, Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang encounter famine years, they go to the South Seas, And if the people of Henan in the Central Plains encounter a famine year, they will take refuge in Guanzhong.

As a result, hundreds of thousands, millions of disaster victims pushed wheelbarrows full of belongings, carried the burden of children, and hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers of the eastern Henan Corps, just like another tide towards western Henan, in the first few days, the victims brought some food, but after ten days and half a month, the vast majority of people could only gnaw tree bark and dig grass roots to satisfy hunger.

Zuihou, the hungry eyes are red victims naturally set their sights on the same kind of starvation to death, for those who talk all day long, never worry about food and clothing, starvation is a small matter, a big loss of festivals, but for the common people, the so-called festival is all bullshit, only living is the most real.

Survival has always been the most basic human need.

Xue Yue has never said a word since he got on his "tent" jeep and withdrew from Kaifeng two days ago, Xue Yue's jeep was imported from Germany, and once Xue Yue drove out and was bombed by Japanese planes, and the people hid the car but were bombed, and the canopy was gone after repair, because China could not produce such canvas, and there were few imported canvases, Xue Yue was unwilling to use his power for personal gain to compete with his officers and soldiers for these precious materials.

"Say, Mr. Chief?" The adjutant was already crying when he spoke, "Compared with our Guangdong, the scene in western Henan is a little worse, but it is not bad, look at the ...... around."

The adjutant's words stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, where is the scenery around?

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the defeated soldiers crowded on the main roads and paths, there are groups of refugees, and the dust in the air seems to be choking into people's lungs, making people breathless, and the defeated soldiers are unkempt, tired, and all of them are drooping their heads, which is very different from when they first set foot on the battlefield in eastern Henan a few months ago.

Xue Yue was silent and did not speak, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked at the surrounding fields unfocusedly.

The adjutants and guards could never understand the resentment and pain in Xue Yue's heart at this moment, and when he read Yue's biography when he was young, Xue Yue had thought countless times, what kind of ideological struggle did Yue Fei have in his heart before being called back to Shenjing? On the one hand, it is loyal to the monarch, and on the other hand, it is the righteousness of the nation, what is the reason that prompted Yue Fei to make a decision that makes people sigh?

At this moment, Xue Yue could finally understand Yue Fei's mood at that time.

Yue Fei is absolutely unwilling to return to Beijing, but whenever there is a chance, he will not hesitate to lead the army to smash Huanglong and restore his homeland, but the cruel reality has hindered his grand ambitions, after losing the support of the emperor, Yue Fei is like a tiger with his limbs tied, with sharp teeth and claws, but he can only look at the north and sigh.

But no matter how Yue Fei is, he also has a Yue family army, and what about him Xue Yue?

Thinking of this, Xue Yue's chest was about to explode, this Lanfeng Battle should not have been such a result, but due to the unruliness of Yu Jishi, Huang Jie and other Huangpu generals, coupled with Gui Yongqing's black sheep, the final success was lost, Xue Yue will never forget it in his life, on the night of the defeat of the Lanfeng Battle and the forced withdrawal of the First Corps, Lao Jiang sent a warrant to the First War Zone and the First Corps, in the telegram, Lao Jiang directly denounced that the Battle of Lanfeng would become a laughing stock for the ages.

A laughing stock for the ages? Since Xue Yue came to the army, he has been determined to become a figure like Yue Wumu and a hero who stands up to the sky, but now Lao Jiang says that he is a laughing stock for the ages, for a general, there is a greater shame than this? With depression and anger in his chest and nowhere to vent, Xue Yue couldn't help but clench his fist and slam it on the car door.

The adjutant and the driver were startled by a loud bang, and thought that the car was blown up by a bomb, the driver quickly poked his head out of the window, but found that there was no little Japanese plane in the sky, but the adjutant saw Xue Yue's actions, this punch was extremely hard, and soon blood flowed from the car door, but Xue Yue was unconscious.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and I don't know what was going on, the refugees who had been sluggish and stiff and marching westward suddenly went berserk, like a tide from all directions to one direction, and then the national army marching on the main road also rushed forward like a madman, and then there was fierce gunfire.

Xue Yue Huo Ran turned his head, his eyes staring at the direction of the accident, his eyes were cold.

The adjutant also poked his head out of the passenger window and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" ”

Soon a guard ran over and reported: "Sir, there are people grabbing food over there, and the soldiers have also passed." ”

"Stop" Xue Yue finally spoke again after being bored for seven days, and he yelled hoarsely, "Lao Tzu wants to kill people today, kill his own people, these dogs, run faster than rabbits on the battlefield, and now he even stretches out his hand to grab the rations of Lao Bailiang's life, Lao Tzu must kill them today."
