Volume 1: The Fields of the Old Home Chapter 5: The Enemy's Bullets Are Pointed

Alberta knelt on the ground, he felt the sky pressing down, and the ground was always shaking. He looked at the collapsed burnt home, where his father was and his father was dead...... He didn't know what was going on, he didn't know how it all came about, his father died, he died at home, maybe he shouldn't have left, maybe he should have died with his father...... But what happened to him? Is he a coward?

He was crying in pain, he was on his knees, he was so close to the ground that it seemed like he would quickly blend in...... The earth is scorched, and it can suck him in at once, and he may die, but why does he live? He didn't want to run away, so he thought that even if the artillery hit, it might be a good thing to blow himself up like this.

Just as Alberta raised his head and roared in anger, a cannonball landed in front of him not far away, and a huge shock wave lifted him up, and he saw that the scenery around him was broken in fragments as he was blown away by the air wave. When he fell to the ground again, his ears briefly deaf from the loud roar and impact, he looked at the distant scenery and fell to the ground, the flames burned, and he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and he could not even stand up.

He moved his arm, and found that he couldn't move, and the moment he was swept away by the air wave, he thought again that he wanted to live...... He just wants to live, he doesn't want to die, it's as simple as that......

He didn't know how he got up, he just found him supporting himself with his hands, half-kneeling...... At this point, his arm was not sensational at all. By the time he stood still, he could not hear the world around him, he saw only fire, fire, and death......

He walked forward step by step, he couldn't run, the concussion of the shelling made him semi-faint, he only took a mechanical step forward. Like a dead man about to die, he stepped forward, and the crowd of people who were running in all directions ran out, and from a junction in front of them, they pushed and shoved, and in order to escape, they panicked, and one of them saw Alberta, who was staggering, and perhaps there were escapees all around him, so they blocked his way, and Alberta was the only one in front of him, and he knocked down Alberta, who was in the way. Alberta was pushed to the ground, and he watched the crowd keep moving, and from his point of view, he could only see the legs of many people, and the hurried footsteps......

He slowly closed his eyes, and in the world of Alberta's vision, the distant flames and burns gradually turned into another kind of light, as if he was fishing on the seashore, and the lighthouse light was guiding him, and he was sleepy, so he fell into the boat in the waves, ready to sleep.

He closed his eyes and fainted......

……

He was in a coma, and he seemed to feel that someone stepped on him, and someone scolded: "This damned person, he doesn't find a place to die, he trips people, it's really in the way!" ”

He knew that if he fell, the fleeing crowd would trample on him, and if he didn't wake up, he would be trampled to death...... But he didn't have the strength to wake up, and he felt tired. He wanted to go fishing now, he even felt that he was chasing the big fish, he was still at sea, he had just been divorced, and his father had just told him that he was an adopted son...... He was at sea, chasing the great fish......

Big Fish ...... He seemed to suddenly think of the big fish that didn't give in at all, he thought of the big fish, and really the big fish seemed to be right in front of his eyes in an instant! He was in the ocean, and the big fish swam beside him. He snapped his eyes open, he struggled to his feet, he regained his senses, and at the same time regained a trace of strength.

He listened carefully, and found that the sound of the cannon had stopped, and he ran forward with all his strength, and in front of him was a small hill, and he came to the top of the hill and looked at the sea, and at this time, he found that there were at least six ironclad warships on the sea, and he was releasing the landing boats, and these small landing craft were speeding towards the shore, and Alberta was standing on a high hill in the harbor town, and saw the landing boats, and the soldiers on them. He ran backwards in a panic, so he was so flustered that he stumbled......

Alberta quickly ran to the back of the port town, and as he ran, he saw a group of soldiers, dressed in khaki uniforms and khaki military caps, carrying breech-loading rifled bolt-action rifles, about fifty people.

Alberta, he didn't know what he was doing, maybe he wanted to charge with them, maybe ...... He thought the enemy would rush up and kill him...... So he hid behind a dilapidated building, behind the group of soldiers who were hiding, and watched the more than fifty soldiers fight against the enemy......

Alberta didn't know why he stopped, perhaps he also knew he was desperate and didn't want to run anymore...... Maybe it's like he's hiding here, seeking a quiet place...... Hide, but he mistakenly thinks that he has nothing to do with this fight......

The second lieutenant officer led them and hid behind a building...... The second lieutenant was giving a short order: "Everyone! Stand still! The enemy is landing! At the moment of the charge, wait for me to give the order, and when the charge comes, a group of ten people will rush up in batches! ”

The second lieutenant was giving a speech: "Soldiers! The enemy is attacking us! Attack our ports, we will rush up and bring them down! Defeat them! After the second lieutenant's speech, he gave a sharp order: "First squad, prepare the bullets to load!" Get on the bayonet! ”

Alberta saw the soldiers quickly take out their bayonets from their scabbards and quickly mount them on rifled guns.

The second lieutenant ordered: "First squad charge!" The enemy must not be allowed to land and come ashore! ”

The soldiers led by the second lieutenant were hiding behind this building, and in front of the building was the beach, and the second lieutenant's order fell, and the ten soldiers who had just put on their bayonets roared angrily and rushed towards the beach......

Almost instantly, after the ten soldiers had just rushed out from the back of the building, they were hit by a steady stream of enemy bullets almost in a matter of seconds! Ten soldiers fell to the ground in turn, and one or two soldiers were still able to move, trying to get up and continue the charge, but at this time they were hit by a barrage of bullets and died on the ground......

The rest of the soldiers looked at each other...... No one knows what kind of weapons this enemy is using...... No one can understand what kind of gun can shoot bursting bullets...... A barrage of bullets......

The second lieutenant gritted his teeth: "Second team, the bullet is loaded!" Get on the bayonet! Get ready to charge! ”

The soldiers of the second ten-man squad looked at each other, and there were at least seven or eight of them, shaking their palms...... There were even a couple of soldiers, who did not know how they mounted the bayonet on the rifle......

The second lieutenant took out his revolver and fired a few shots into the sky: "Soldiers, you are fearless!" Charge! ”

The ten soldiers of the second team shouted one after another, some of the soldiers lowered their bodies, and then the ten soldiers quickly charged forward!

The first soldier had just rushed out of the building bunker, perhaps he had just seen the enemy on the other side, and perhaps he had only felt a chill in his head, not even pain...... He fell to the ground, looked at the distant scenery unwillingly, and then lost his life......

This group of ten soldiers, who had just rushed out, did not even fire a single shot, and were killed one after another...... Fell to the ground, several people who were still alive, also reloaded by enemy soldiers......

The second lieutenant was like a crazy man, "Third squad soldiers! Get on your bayonet and get ready to charge! "The third group of soldiers consisted of several middle-aged veterans with despair and near-death pain in their eyes. Among them was a short young soldier who slipped out to the ground, his legs barely working, his back against the wall, his legs almost like tomato noodles, and he didn't obey his control......

The second lieutenant grabbed the soldier and shouted in a particularly loud voice: "Hell! Private! You stand up for me! ”

The young soldier shuddered, "I don't charge...... I don't want to die...... To rush out is to die...... Can't even shoot a gun! I don't rush! ”

The second lieutenant roared angrily: "Private Robert, Private Jay!" The two of you pull this timid private, and when you charge, go up together! ”

A middle-aged veteran, it seems to be Robert, and a young soldier Jay, the faces of the two of them are shrouded in a haze, like the faces of a dead man, the veteran is more calm, but the young soldier Jay is also trembling, and the two of them set up a group of private ...... The second lieutenant gave an order: "The third team!" Get on the bayonet! Bullets loaded, charge! ”

The private, who was reluctant to charge, was in the third team...... The three veterans rushed out first, and they fell to the ground, in pools of blood...... Later, Robert and Jaylen rushed out with the timid private who was reluctant to charge, and in a few seconds, they also fell to the ground...... All ten soldiers of the third squad fell...... Maybe the timid private was being pulled by Jalen and Robert, so he wasn't fatal when he was shot...... Badly wounded, he fell to his knees, crying, "It hurts...... I want to see my mother......" Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit by a burst of bullets...... Dead on the ground...... Collapsed in a pool of blood.

The second lieutenant looked out of the bunker building through his peripheral vision: thirty soldiers were lying on the ground, corpses strewn all over the floor, blood flowing from outside the building to the second lieutenant's feet, the second lieutenant lifting his feet, his mouth shaking mechanically and uncontrollably......

The second lieutenant shouted in a hoarse voice, tearing at the changing voice, "Fourth team! Bullets loaded, bayonets! Charge! ”

The ten soldiers of the fourth team, no one spoke, they became cold and indifferent, and their eyes were already like the eyes of a dead man...... Their bodies were so long that they were no different from those who had just died......

There was only the faint sound of sobbing among them, and the sound of bullets being loaded and bayonets mounted, and teeth chattering......

The second lieutenant gave the order, and his voice changed hoarsely and shouted: "Charge!" ”

In the fourth team, I don't know which soldier shouted: "I'm going home!" Back to my hometown! "The soldier rushed out of cover first, he raised his gun as fast as he could, tried to fire a shot, but he didn't do it and fell to the ground, in a pool of blood......

The next nine soldiers fell to the ground without exception...... They're dead......

Among them, a bullet was bounced on the wall next to the second lieutenant, and the second lieutenant dug out the bullet, he looked at the bullet, and said slowly: "It turns out that their bullet is pointed...... Our bullets are round-tipped ......"

The lieutenant looked around again, and it was only him and the last eleven left...... Barely able to control the trembling of his hands, the lieutenant took off his military cap and held it in his hands, which he wiped from the dust on his face, the ashes of the gunsmoke, and the blood...... He put his military hat back on, and then said slowly: "Fifth team, bayonet, bullet loaded, charge me!" Soldiers! He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and shouted, "We're home!" ”

The second lieutenant was the first to rush out of the fifth team...... A pointed bullet hit him in the head and he fell...... The next eleven followed the lieutenant and fell in a pool of blood......
