Chapter 59: Sacrifice

When the starry lights lit up behind him, Zhou Tai stopped running. He gasped and said to himself happily: "Okay, the little devil can't run away." ”

He was only a little more than 100 meters away from the devil's convoy, and such a distance that if the devil turned over the front of the car, he would be shrouded in the light of the headlights. In the open fields, there are not even tall trees, and at such a distance, even those who have better vision during the day can see their eyes and noses clearly, but now, the dark night with no fingers can be seen, but it provides him with excellent cover. He could tell the devil's direction according to the light, but the devil couldn't detect him. Suddenly, the lights behind the devil's convoy did not move, and he immediately lay down on the road with a sense of guilt, and then picked up his gun and prepared for battle.

The cannon roared, the devil's convoy suffered an unprecedented blow, one truck after another was blown to pieces, one devil after another danced into the air, many people were dismembered in the air, and a whole person flew up, turned into three or four pieces and fell.

This bloody and terrifying scene may be a nightmare for others, but for Zhou Tai, it is the most hateful scene. Zhou Tai is a native of Northeast China, and all of the six members of the family were killed by the little devils except him, including his two-year-old niece. In order to take revenge, he once wandered in Shenyang City and wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, but the result was that the revenge was not avenged but was injured and had to jump into the river. Fortunately, this scene happened to be seen by Zhou Daxin, the leader of the Shenyang team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Fox Pupil, who found an opportunity to save him, and then pointed out a clear path for him to take revenge - to join the Cadet Army. And when he hurried from Shenyang to Jicha on foot, he learned that the student army had moved to Guangdong. He spent more than three months on foot to Guangdong, but when he wanted to join the army, because of the lack of strong identification (Zhou Daxin had been killed at this time), he finally went to Bawang Mountain by mistake and became a mountain bandit, taking a rather tortuous route to join the army.

The battle of Mengcheng was Zhou Tai's first time fighting devils, and he was very excited that he didn't kill a devil, which made him very, very dissatisfied with himself, and now, he knew that his wish to realize his revenge with his own hands was about to come true. He scolded in a low voice: "Devils of dog days, you also have today!" "I held the gun tighter with both hands.

Although Yoshikawa Nagasheng was the first to discover the enemy's situation, it was not until the first division of the school fired a hundred cannons that he realized that the army on the opposite side was the army of the academy. During the Second Battle of the Great Wall, the 5th Division and the Cadet Army had the experience of fighting, but at that time, the performance of the Cadet Army was not as terrifying as it is now - yes, Yoshikawa Shosheng used the word horror in his heart. When the first division began to show its powerful firepower without fear, the strength it showed was equal to or even surpassed that of a brigade of the Japanese army.

Flares rose one after another in the sky, and there were those who studied the first division and those who were Japanese, and Yoshikawa and other devils were at the forefront of the Japanese position, and they were fortunate enough to see the "beautiful shadows" of those re-light tanks with their muzzles flickering. Following the shift of the light tank to the north and south, it maintained a complete victory in the confrontation with the Japanese tank unit, and had already become a shadow rampant in the nightmare of the little devils. When Yoshikawa and his comrades discussed it privately, they were used to using the word "too evil" to describe the Jiko tank.

Yoshikawa was fortunate that the first round of shelling by the 1st Division failed to hit their truck. Then the squad leader Frame Ze immediately gave the right order: "Quick, get out of the truck!" ”

Before the second round of shells fell, Yoshikawa and the others, led by the team leader Frame Ze, plunged into the wheat field more than ten meters away from the truck, and they fell down one after another in the sound of the shells breaking through the air. After a loud "boom", Yoshikawa and the other exploding hot Lang swept over his head, and he turned around and saw an extremely bloody scene - the four devils in the carriage, the two machine gunners and their assistants danced into the sky with their machine guns and the carriage under them, and then were engulfed in fire in an even more violent explosion, turning into several bloody limbs scattered in all directions.

One of the two machine gunners is a fellow countryman from Yoshikawa, and he has a good relationship with him and is called Hotaro Nagaga. Yoshikawa let out a wolf howl as he saw his head and left leg separate from his body, and then fell into the rubble of the burning truck and burned, and then jumped up and rushed to the opposite side with the Sanhachi big cover in his arms.

The cannon was still rumbling, the shells of the 1st Division were smashed down as if they didn't want money, and the explosion rolled over the vast field like thunder - Frame Ze raised his head and shouted: "Bage, get down!" But Yoshikawa could not hear it.

"Squad leader, we should go to Yoshikawa's aid!" A devil suggested.

Frame Ze shook his head resolutely and shouted: "The people of China are still **, charging at this time, what is the difference between sending them to death?" ”

"But Yoshikawa?!"

"We will avenge Yoshikawa-kun!"

The more than 20 surviving devils of the frame Ze team couldn't bear to watch Yoshikawa rush forward like a lone wolf, however, Yoshikawa ran away from them for more than 100 meters, and stopped to put two shots during the process, but they were not patronized by the shells. And the bullets fired at him by the people on the opposite side also miraculously almost grazed his body. Frame Ze felt a little incredible, and he couldn't help but think, "Could it be that this guy Yoshikawa is possessed by Amaterasu?" Suddenly, the subordinates beside him let out an exclamation at the same time, he looked intently, and saw that there was suddenly an additional person in front of Ji Chuan - hearing the familiar sound of Weiqing-style guns behind him, Zhou Tai couldn't help but turn around and scolded: "TMD, he is mine!" ”

Then, as if hearing his scolding, the bullets fired by his comrades ran out one after another.

Zhou Tai was originally going to charge, but he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, and a devil sent it to the door by himself - looking for death! His eyes narrowed, and he untied the big blade behind him - Lao Tzu is going to chop off your dog's head, he said silently in his heart. When Yoshikawa ran to a distance of five meters from him, he stabbed himself on the ground and stood up at once.

The sudden appearance of the enemy did not frighten Yoshikawa Changsheng, but the little devil was very excited, he shouted "wah, wow, wow", rushed forward, took a left step, and stabbed out the three eight big covers with both hands.

Zhou Tai didn't understand what the little devil was shouting, and he didn't want to know Lu Dao, he only knew that Lu Dao could chop off this devil's dog head with his own hands - "Chunya, this dog head, it's your uncle who sacrifices you!" He thought silently in his heart, his body standing still like a mountain, under the worried eyes of Ge Zengfu and other reconnaissance battalion soldiers, when Yoshikawa on the other side had a triumphant smirk on his face, and when the spear was about to pierce his chest, he suddenly shouted: "Bah! With both hands raised, the back of the big knife slammed up from the left to the right, and immediately smashed the front end of the 38 big cover to fly. The next moment, as soon as he closed his hands, a white light like snow crossed Yoshikawa's neck, and the expression on Yoshikawa's face was fixed - Yoshikawa's head flew high with an unbelievable expression, and the headless body that was still standing suddenly rushed from the broken neck A fountain of blood rushed from the broken neck, the blood fountain was a foot high when it first rose, and then it quickly descended, gradually dyeing the dirty yellow military uniform red.

Yoshikawa was chopped off with a knife from the man, and his head hit the ground first, and then a full minute later, his headless body fell to the ground with a bang. Frame Ze was shocked by this scene, and suddenly he shouted angrily: "Kill it!" ”

"Horn, horn, ......" The unique gunshot of the 38 big cover rang out, but at this time Zhou Tai had already fallen down again. Only then did he pay tribute to his little niece, and there were still four people in his family who did not pay tribute, so he would not be stupid to die.

On the forward position of the tank regiment, the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion shouted loudly: "Zhou Tai! Attaboy! "There's no tension on the battlefield.

The artillery bombardment of the 1st Division lasted for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, the Komatsu Brigade, the Hashimoto Brigade, and the military police squadron directly under the detachment headquarters of the Tsumoto Detachment suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the more than 2,000 people were directly torn apart by artillery fire. After a hoarse shout, the three or four hundred devils did not retreat but advanced, and rushed to the tank unit of the First Division in a loose formation. The devils scattered in other places saw the flags of the Komatsu Brigade and the Hashimoto Brigade and gathered one after another.

Guo Da witnessed all this, pressed the send button, and gave the order to stop the shelling and launch a charge.

The sound of the cannon stopped, "Tick tock!" A loud charge sounded, "Kill! The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Brigades and the reconnaissance battalion, who had already formed formations, rushed forward with shouts. The tank regiment rushed forward with a roar as it pressed close to the reconnaissance battalion.

Frame Ze climbed up, brandished a pistol and shouted, "Assault the whole team!" ”

Zhou Tai lay on the ground, aiming the gun at the place where Frame Ze's team was located, and in the afterglow of a flare, he quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, put Frame Ze's ugly face into the crosshair, and pulled the trigger. A gunshot rang out, and Frame Ze's face suddenly burst with flesh and blood like a broken tomato, and in the next second, he "poofed" up to the sky and fell, his eyes opened wide, and his expression froze at the moment when he kept screaming.

The dozen or so devils who had just gotten up had several of them lying down.

"Eight squares! Rush up! "There are devils who kicked their comrades who were lying down, and then with a hideous face, they rushed to Zhou Tai with a three-eight big cover.

Two more flares rose on the battlefield, and in the sound of "empty, empty", the little devil's only "heavy weapon" mortar finally came into play.

With a loud "boom", the grenade fell into the tank group, and the fighters of the two reconnaissance battalions could not dodge it and were engulfed in the flames of the explosion.

Wu Kezhi, who had been standing on the tank, witnessed this scene, and was strangely angry, he pressed the send button and roared: "Kill the little artillerymen of the dog day!" "The three tanks made a sharp stop at the same time, the turrets moved, and after a few minutes, three shells smashed at the same time.

In the violent explosion of "boom", the mortar position that the little devil had just established was immediately engulfed in flames. The fragments of the mortar and the broken limbs of the devil flew high, and the devil who had just gotten up was frightened and quickly lay down, for fear of being killed by the fish pond.

Wu Kezhi continued to roar angrily: "The observers have opened their eyes wide for Lao Tzu, there are a lot of grenadiers for the little devils, don't let these dogs catch the loopholes!" ”

Brandishing his command knife, he shouted hoarsely surrounded by more than a dozen gendarmes: "Rush up, only by rushing up can you live!" Then he asked Komatsu Toshiyi, "How did Aoki reply?" Is there a call back from Qingdao? ”

Komatsu Toshiyi, a captain of a large group, and now only has more than thirty devils under his command, he immediately lowered his head and responded: "Aoki Osa refused to send reinforcements, he was worried that the people of China would take the opportunity to attack Linyi. There was no call back from Qingdao. ”

"Eight grids!" He cursed, and was a little distracted, when suddenly, there was a sharp sound of cannonballs breaking through the air in the air, and a gendarme behind him screamed, and a tiger pounced and pressed him down.

Komatsu fell to the ground at about the same time.

He was about to raise his head and scold, when there was a loud bang, and the violent explosion shook him so much that he almost fainted again.

Zhou Tai took a shot to change places, and steadily carried out his great cause of memorial. "This is for my father, this is for my mother, this is for my eldest brother......" He muttered silently, every time he fired, he could knock down a devil.

Zhou Taineng stood out from tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers and was selected into the scout training brigade, and then was selected by Ge Zengfu to serve as a squad leader in the reconnaissance battalion of the first division.

There are two channels for the promotion of military ranks and positions in the cadet army, one is based on military merits, and the other is based on titles. The title is set according to the class and skill, for example, the sniper is called Yang Youji, Li Guang, and Changsun Yan from low to high; Engineers are called good hands, experts, and backbones; The cooks are called assistant cooks, chefs, and chefs; Fighting ability is divided into bullfighting level, wolf fighting level, and the highest is tiger fighting level...... The acquisition of the title has complete evaluation measures and reference methods, and is held once every three months with the military as a unit. Those who have newly earned the title will be able to be selected into the Scout or Special Forces Training Brigade, and then be eliminated back to the original unit or enter various elite units according to the training results.

Titles are an important basis for the promotion of low-ranking officers, and once there is a new unit in the cadet army, the officers at the two levels of squad and platoon leader are not only selected from veterans who have made meritorious contributions, but also consider which recruits have obtained the title.

This system was only recently perfected, and Zhou Tai became one of the first students to enjoy it.

Zhou Tai was originally a little minion on Overlord Mountain, and later became a member of the mountain division naturally. Because of his outstanding performance in the scout training team, he was dug up by Ge Zengfu, who served as an instructor. For this reason, Huang Haifu also had a big quarrel with Guo Da, and made trouble all the way to the General Headquarters. At that time, Ouyang Yun happened to go to the United States, and in the end, it was Li Hansoul who stepped forward and transferred two squad leaders from his guard battalion to Huang Haifu to settle the matter. And because of this dispute, Zhou Tai enjoyed a certain reputation within a certain range of the Cadet Army, and this time, his name was destined to be famous throughout the Fifth War Zone and even the whole of China - the devil he used to pay tribute to his sister-in-law was the supreme commander of the Whip Shun - the supreme commander of the detachment, and a Japanese brigade commander wearing the rank of major general.

The idea of pulling the book is too much to memorize, and a diligent and dedicated night raid combat exercise actually sent two of his brigades into the tiger's mouth of the cadet army. However, the little devil who is used to bullying the enemy with artillery did not bring a single cannon this time, and as for the limited dozen mortars, not to mention it, a total of only one grenade was fired and torn to pieces by the artillery fire of the first division - yes equals nothing.

He is tenacious, and he does not lack the ability to make decisions on the battlefield that a general should have. In the face of the surprise attack of the First Division, he chose the most correct means of response, organized the devils who had escaped the artillery fire to advance instead of retreating, and vainly wanted to use close combat to offset the artillery advantage of the First Division.

However, the huge disadvantage in numbers and weapons and equipment doomed him to the fate of annihilation in the end, no matter how he struggled. An artillery bombardment close at hand killed more than a dozen gendarmes who were protecting him, and crippled Komatsu Toshiyi. He was lucky to escape because he was bravely pressed under him by a gendarme. He was dizzy from the explosion and felt the heat and stickiness on his back, he reached out and took a handful of it, and took it to the front to see the blood on his hand. He shook off the stump of flesh from his body, staggered to his feet, and looked around, seeing scattered subordinates howling and pounced on the black smoke of the steel monsters. Gunfire rang out, and the charging men fell one by one, and none of them could threaten the screaming steel monsters.

The flares that rose from time to time illuminated Shino as bright as day, and he suddenly heard a groan, looked down and followed the sound, and saw Komatsu Toshiyi, who had a broken leg, was sweating profusely and stuffing his intestines into his stomach.

He ran over, squatted in front of Komatsu, and whispered: "Komatsu-kun, hold on, as long as the air force in Qingdao can rush over, we can escape back." ”

The wound on Xiao Song's stomach was too big, and his intestines were stuffed in and out, and he felt that the strength in his whole body was draining, and he finally chose to give up. He lay flat on the ground, looking at his immediate boss, his face gradually calmed, and he said, "Your Excellency, I wonder, are we wrong? ”

"What?"

"Shina is rich and vast, but there are no cherry blossoms or Mt....... Fuji," Komatsu muttered, his voice getting lower and lower, his eyes gradually dissolving, and finally his head tilted, and he could no longer make a sound.

He kicked Komatsu Toshiyi's corpse fiercely, and scolded fiercely: "Hachige, you coward, for the sake of the emperor's ideal of greater East Asia and common prosperity, what if my soldiers are horse leather shrouds, one day, we will plant cherry blossoms in the whole territory of China, we-" He suddenly looked down in surprise at his chest, where a bloody hole was opening. He staggered and looked in the direction where the bullet was fired, and saw a soldier in camouflage looking at him coldly-"Eight-grid-" He subconsciously scolded hatefully, and the word "grid" spurted out with a ball of blood, as if taking away the strength of his whole body. The figure of the soldier was fading away until it was drowned out in darkness, but his eyes were firmly reflected in the mind of Lu Benshun, and it became the most embarrassing memory of Lu Benshun in this world - Zhou Tai didn't know that he had killed a big man, and at a distance of seventy or eighty meters, he could only feel that this devil should be an officer. Wu Kezhi, who was not far away, had already seen the rank on Lu Benshun's body through the binoculars, and he let out an exclamation: "Good boy, major general!" Zhou Tai, this kid has made a great contribution! ”
