Chapter 2 Second Line

"Boom!" A grenade exploded only about three meters away from Liu Zheliang. Immediately, he only felt a sharp pain in his right hand, and when he looked down, he found that his right arm had been pierced by a piece of shrapnel.

"Brigade, you're wounded!" The guard next to him said, quickly put down the gun, and wanted to get a first-aid kit to bandage him. He had just lowered his head, when suddenly his body staggered, and then he fell directly to the ground. Under the light of the flares, his back slowly oozed out, and he was actually hit in the heart. "Xiao Guo!" Liu Zheliang shouted angrily, and suddenly roared like a wounded lone wolf: "Ah-"

After Yan Liang brought people up, he stayed on the ruins of a river embankment about 50 meters away from Liu Zheliang. The sound of gunfire was endless, and as far as the eye could see, the opposite side was densely packed with devils. Hearing Liu Zheliang's roar, he turned his head to look, with a sad look in his eyes.

The order of the General Command was to hold out for two hours, and now it has only passed a little more than an hour. However, the casualties of the troops were already more than halfway through. Many seriously injured trainees were not treated in time, and many of them even died on the battlefield because of bleeding. "I'm going to see the Ryokza!" He said to his deputy, and then the cat ran towards Liu Zheliang.

Liu Zheliang, in the past, has always behaved like a good baby by Ouyang Yun's side. Later, he went to Dongshan, because he came into contact with more people and things, he gradually became contaminated with some habits of the rivers and lakes, and began to become bold. After falling in love with Shang Lian'er, the two of them influenced each other, and their temperament was much rougher than before.

The battle was so fierce that I saw one brother after another fall in a pool of blood, but anyone who was flesh and blood would be indifferent, right? What made Yan Liang proud was that although the battle had been going on so far, although there were huge casualties, none of the soldiers had the idea of retreating. Rigorous training and a sound education system are still working. The adjective "Commander-in-Chief" is used so well that we resolutely stood up when the motherland and our compatriots needed us the most, and this may be the best commentary on this word.

The distance of fifty meters was very short and long, and along the way, there were many students and soldiers who died in battle, and many of them were holding their weapons tightly in their arms, which made Yan Liang, a man with a hard heart like iron, also burst into tears.

After calculating all the way, he quickly came to the conclusion that now, there are only more than 300 people who can hold out on to the position, just one battalion. Seeing that there are more and more devils on the river beach, if there is no artillery support, then the loss of the position will be a matter of time. When it was time to retreat to the second line, the situation in Shengzhou should be similar, if they also chose to retreat to the second line, then, the troops of the two places combined, maybe they could hold out for another hour. Thinking like this, he already had a plan in his heart. "Travel! You're all right, are you? He pulled Liu Zheliang down and asked in a loud voice.

With a howl, Liu Zheliang had already calmed down. His squad of guards had now been killed, and it was very uncomfortable for him that all the companions he had been with all day and night had suddenly left him. He knew that now was not the time to be sad, but he couldn't stop himself from going into battle with emotions.

Tiantian's chapped lips, he said, "Old Yan, it seems that we must withdraw to the second line." I'll ask you for something—" As he spoke, he took out a stack of letter paper from his underwear, "Please give this to Shang Lian'er." Well, when you repel this round of attacks by the little devils, you lead people to retreat to the second line first, and if the brigade seat also retreats there, no matter what happens, you must send her to the fortress first. Old Yan—"

By the time the battle had been underway, the 112th Division had left nearly a thousand corpses in front of the Zhoutou position. The battle was so fierce that the dying soldiers on both sides would blow up their grenades at every turn, which brought great casualties to both the attackers and defenders. Takahashi originally thought that after the saturation bombardment, even if the defenders still had some remaining troops, their will to fight would be affected, so this battle would not be too difficult to fight. And the facts gave him a painful lesson - yes, the casualties of the cadet soldiers were very large, but the fighting spirit of the cadets was not depressed at all. For now, at least, the firepower output from the defenders' positions was not weakened in the slightest, which made him wonder if the Cadet Corps had increased its troops.

He reported the situation to Joji Yamada, only to be reprimanded. The latter roared menacingly: Are our forces superior? That's enough! Even if we use the corpses of the imperial army to pave the way, we will also take Cotton Boat Island. His Excellency the Commander has already left the Wu family's mansion, and he said that he will come to the island in another hour, no matter what the situation is at that time - we have already made too many low-level mistakes in the battle of attacking Xiaogushan and Peng Langyu, this time, I don't care what method you use, in short, you must reach the fortress before the 11th Division! Do you understand?

Takahashi's own wing, in the battle to attack Xiaogushan lost two brigades, now, he commanded the forward troops, many of them are not his wing, listening to Yamada say this, he also let go, regardless of the casualties on the front, just a steady stream of urging the troops to attack.

The Japanese offensive became stronger and stronger, and Liu Zheliang finally realized that it was too unrealistic to hold out here for two hours. Withdraw to the second line, and only rely on the second line of fortifications for a new round of defense. There is still a battalion on the position, and if you want to complete the evacuation, you must leave people to snipe the Japanese army, and as the supreme commander of the Zhoutou front, he naturally thinks that he should take this responsibility.

Yan Liang was originally worried that he would lose his mind because of too many mood swings, but at this time, he realized that he had already planned to do so. It's just that he asked him to lead his troops to retreat to the second line, but he stayed here and didn't dare to agree. He dodged to the side, let go of the letter handed over, and said: "Brigade seat, you are the backbone of our Zhoutou troops, of course you should lead the troops to retreat." Don't fight with me, Brigade. I have a son, and you, not even a daughter-in-law. Travel, time is precious, let's not waste time fighting for these empty Langs, you quickly lead people to withdraw, and I will take people to the top. When he had said this, the cat trotted away.

"Old Yan—" Liu Zheliang shouted behind him, but where could he stop him.

It is an unwritten rule in the Cadet Army that when there is a need for the palace, the seriously wounded will become the first choice. This is not Ouyang Yun's setting, but the rules invented by the students themselves in many wars with Japan. The order to retreat was quickly conveyed, and all the seriously wounded suddenly came to their senses, while those who had suffered only lightly or not at all were sad.

"Instead of lying in bed and being a living dead for the rest of your life, it is better to die vigorously, pull a few more devils on your back, and Lao Tzu will not be lonely when he arrives in the underworld, right?" These words were said by a student named Lonely Wind. During the Battle of Nanjing, when his comrades-in-arms were about to carry him away, after he said this, he put a gun to his chin and put on a posture of swearing to the death. The comrades-in-arms had no choice but to let him stay with the troops behind the mat. And after his deeds spread, whenever this happened again, the seriously injured cadets looked up to him, and over time, this became an unwritten rule.

At the chase meeting after the Battle of Nanjing, Ouyang Yun once criticized this phenomenon, believing that although Lonely Wind behaved heroically, this kind of unorganized and undisciplined behavior was not worth advocating. He even did this for many examples of disabled people who continued to shine after they returned, but he still failed to stop this from happening.

The Japanese attack was repulsed again, and after leaving a hundred and ten corpses in front of the position, they hurriedly retreated to the starting position. The flares on his head were extinguished one after another, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Zheliang gritted his teeth and led people to withdraw to the second-line position. They were about to walk a hundred and ten meters, and again a dense burst of gunfire could be heard behind them. Standing on a small high ground, Liu Zheliang turned around and saw a dense patch of Japanese military helmets, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

"Lao Bian, is there any smoke?" Bai Tassel leaned against the earthen wall of the crater and asked Bian Jingdao, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 301st Regiment sitting opposite.

Bian Jingdao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and when he heard this, he quickly touched his body, and then took out a crumpled cigarette roll from his jacket pocket. handed it over, and a little reluctant, he said, "The last one." ”

The white tassel took it unceremoniously, then took out a disposable lighter from his body, lit it, took a deep breath, and then coughed violently. The cough was not so severe that she did not subside until the gunfire rang out again. She only took a puff in her hand, but she had already burned a small half of the cigarette and threw it away, and said: "Be stingy, don't worry, go back to Guangzhou, I will compensate you for a 'big knife'!" Then, brandishing her twin guns, she stood up.

Bian Jingdao could only afford to smoke the "Great Wall card", he smiled bitterly when he heard this, picked up the half of the cigarette, carefully pinched it out, put it back in his pocket, and then climbed up the crater mouth with a gun.

Of the two personal guards of the white tassel, one of the female soldiers had been killed, and the other had also been wounded. Zhang Cunbao, the head of the 301st regiment, was worried about the safety of Bai Tassel, so he specially transferred Bian Jingdao, who was very skilled, to her side.

Soon after Bian Jingdao was transferred to Bai Tassel's side, he was shocked. Bai Tassel's marksmanship is too accurate, and, because it is a "dummy bullet", as long as the devil who is hit by her in the upper body, there is only one end - die immediately and die painfully.

The "dummy bullet" is so evil, a bullet enters the human body, but the wound surface is a bowl size. Bian Jingdao saw with his own eyes that Bai Tassel raised his hand and shot a little devil in the stomach, and then a big hole was broken in the devil's stomach, and Bai Huahua's intestines randomly flowed all over the ground. However, that devil must not die immediately. In the end, Xu really couldn't bear the pain, and the devil pulled the grenade on his body, killing himself and the two devils who passed by him.
