Section XII

Liu Wenfeng is worthy of being a scout for a period of time, although he has now been promoted to a major battalion, but the old line has not been left behind, after he left with the two brothers for only a pillar of incense time, they returned to the town breathlessly, as soon as they saw the stone, they were both surprised and happy and said: "Stone, here, the little devil is here." ”

When everyone around heard the sound, their ears pricked up one by one, and they only heard the stone seem quite calm and said: "Don't worry, speak slowly, where has the devil arrived?" How many people should there be? ”

"It's Balizhuang, it's still two miles away from us, we don't dare to get too close, we can only take a look at it from a distance, the number of people seems to be less than a hundred, it seems that these devils are coming at us." Liu Wenfeng gasped and said.

"Less than a hundred?" Shi was immediately surprised when he heard it, and couldn't help but bow his head and groan, he has fought with the devil a lot of times, and he naturally understands the habits of the Japanese army very thoroughly, according to common sense, the Japanese army always takes the squadron as the most basic operational establishment, which is not only because of the number of problems, but also because of the number of people, but more importantly, the squadron of the Japanese army includes the light and heavy firepower of the division number, medical and mortar, which can give full play to the best effect of the firepower complementarity of the cooperative operation, and now Liu Wenfeng said that the number of the devil's troops is less than 100 people, Could it be that the devil split the squadron in two, and only two squads came?

This is too unreasonable, since this team of 100 people can be touched unnoticed, and there will obviously be no surprise if there are dozens of more people, and such a stubborn dismantling of the formation will greatly affect the combat strength of the troops.

Thinking of this, Shi suddenly moved his expression and said to the tall sledgehammer on the side: "Take two platoons to the center of the town to set up defenses, the position here will be handed over to the second company, and the other platoon will be handed over to me for command." ”

Beard finally heard about the task of their second company, and immediately smiled: "Okay, tonight I have to weigh whether the little devil really has three heads and six arms." ”

And Gao Da Hammer didn't have any nonsense, and directly opened his mouth and shouted at the position of the three companies that were waiting for the battle: "Cheng Chong, you take one platoon to listen to the command of the battalion commander, and the second platoon and three platoons, immediately withdraw and follow me." ”

There was a sudden sound of "sound" on the position, because they were very close, under the light of the moon, they could easily see that one by one the figures left the protection and withdrew to the town, at the same time, Zhao Xinyi, the deputy of the second company on the side, also began to command the second company to change guards.

As a result, as soon as his order was given, a soft cry of excitement came from all directions, and occasionally there was a clanging sound, and I don't know who was in a hurry to collide with someone else.

The tall sledgehammer, who had already turned around and was about to leave, suddenly turned around and shouted coldly when he heard these sounds: "Zhao Yidao, it doesn't matter if you want to die, don't drag our entire battalion to bury you." ”

These words suddenly made Hu Zi and Zhao Xinyi's faces turn red, the transfer of hundreds of people is not as easy as a squad and a platoon, and it is not strange for them to make some abnormal noises, but the actions of the three companies are in front of them, and the contrast between them is too obvious, so that even if they want to say something, they don't know how to speak.

"Okay, Company Commander Gao, hurry up and go to arm, the devil is about to arrive in a blink of an eye." The stone interrupted the awkward confrontation between them at this moment, and ordered in an unquestioning tone, to which the tall sledgehammer snorted coldly, and quickly disappeared into the alley with the three companies.

The commotion here didn't last long, and those people in the second company had obviously heard the sarcastic voice of the tall sledgehammer just now, which naturally made them hold their breath, but made the four quickly calm down.

The fortifications had been completed long before dark, and the third company was all veterans, and the experience in this area was obviously not comparable to that of the people of the second company, so when they lay down behind the thick earth bag, and set up a gun in the machine gun bunker built up by a piece of bluestone to aim at the distance, their hearts were full of confidence in addition to shock, and that kind of comprehensive defense greatly reduced the area exposed to their bodies, so that they were unusually solid in their positions, and they couldn't help but think, it seems that those deserters are not useless, at least in terms of saving their lives, There are still some means.

"Da Da ......" Just as everyone was huddled in the fortifications, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in the dark night in the distance. The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night, drowning out the sound of insects in all directions, which was particularly piercing and alarming at this time.

Everyone's eyes instantly moved towards the place where the gunshots rang out, and in just a few breaths, they faintly saw several figures rushing towards the place where they were.

The people of the second company have long been accustomed to hearing the murderous reputation of the Japanese army, and in the case of the approaching war, it is impossible not to be nervous, and now when they see those black shadows, they who have never experienced the big war at all, suddenly "buzzed" in their heads, and immediately someone screamed: "Who? Stay back! Who are you? ”

Shi and the others immediately secretly said that it was not good, but the beard's reaction was quite fast, and immediately shouted: "Don't mess around, no one is allowed to shoot without hearing the order." ”

There was chaos in all directions, and although the shouts of the beards made the people of the second company fire recklessly, they could not suppress the fear in their hearts, so that there was chaos in the position, and there were all kinds of sounds, and at the same time, the few people who were running in the distance also shouted from a distance: "The devil is coming." ”

As if to confirm their shouts, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded in the distance, and one of the people who ran immediately fell down and let out a miserable scream.

Shi immediately heard that it was Cheng Zhong and others from the battalion headquarters class, who had been ordered to pick up Liu Wenfeng and others before, but they were arranged there to be the outpost, but they didn't expect that in such a short period of time, they would be connected to the main force of the devil, which was too unexpected.

Liu Wenfeng grabbed the rifle on his back in his hand and shouted angrily: "I'll go and pick them up." Immediately, without waiting for everyone to react, he jumped out of the fortifications and rushed out quickly, and Zhao Xinyi, the commander of the second company on the side, saw that the battalion was so brave, and he also shouted: "How can this matter be without me?" ”

Cheng Yong and others in the distance reacted very quickly, as soon as they heard that there was a brother next to them who fell, immediately four or five people stopped together, and they didn't care about the bullets flying from the side, a few people suddenly picked up the injured brothers, and rushed all the way back, and soon they were together with Liu Wenfeng and Zhao Xinyi and others who rushed over to respond, and after turning back and fighting back, they retreated smoothly.

At this moment, a shell exploded at a distance of about ten paces in front of their position, and this sudden attack made the people of the second company who were caught off guard scream, and even worse, because of fear, they jumped out of cover and were about to run to the back.

Seeing that the troops were about to collapse before they saw the devils, Hu Zi and Zhao Xinyi's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they took out the pistols on their waists while scolding angrily: "Don't mess around, hide well, go back and prepare to fight the devils, no one is allowed to escape." As he spoke, the beard fired several shots into the sky with a "...... of whistles".

"Boom" another shell fell, this time the shell because of the previous test firing and the accuracy of the greatly improved, directly in a machine gun bunker, boomed up several bodies, the dazzling tongue of fire accompanied by the smell of burnt flesh appeared in front of everyone, suddenly made the people of the second company stunned for a moment, and then like a fried pot rushed to escape from here.

The lethality of artillery is certainly powerful, but what is more deadly is the death threat that hangs over everyone's head, Shi and others naturally don't care about this for a long time, but the recruits who have just come to the battlefield do not have such a good ability to bear it, especially the horse bandits who are used to scattering, the concept of discipline is already weak, and now they have turned around and are about to flee.

Although Hu Zi and Zhao Xinyi dare not want to look at the brothers who stand alive and die like this, they have to think about more things than these people, and in this case, they will scatter with a bang, not to mention whether they can escape the pursuit of the devil, that is, if they escape, I am afraid that they will also have to fall into the charge of escaping, at this time, they even flashed in their minds the things that they often talked about in private before the collapse of the national army, at that time they laughed at these troops for having no backbone at all, and they did not dare to fight with the devils, and now they found out when the matter came to an end, In such a situation, it is not at all a matter of courage or not courage.

Seeing that the defense line was about to collapse, Hu Zi couldn't care so much in a hurry, raised his arm flat, pointed his gun at the people who were fleeing backwards, and roared: "Who dares to run away again, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood." ”

Zhao Xinyi also yelled anxiously: "There are devils in front, it's a man's, so I'll hold my chest up for Lao Tzu, and I Zhao Yidao will be my brother, so I'll stay and fight devils together." ”

Seeing that most of the people had stopped in the midst of their roars, but there were still people who wanted to jump into the alley, the beard was ruthless in his heart, and immediately pulled the trigger, only to see a soldier who was about to rush into the darkness at the far end fell to the ground, his limbs twitched, and under the threat of this gunshot, the rout was finally stopped.

Where can they hide the observation of the devil from the chaos here, just as they are in chaos here, "Banzai...... Itaya ......" bursts of rhythm were distinct, and one shout after another exploded in their ears, accompanied by this shout and the falling cannonballs, a group of figures suddenly rushed out of the night.

The blade shone coldly under the light of the moon, and the neat shouts fueled their momentum, and the enemies who pounced for a while gave people a feeling of being difficult to resist as if they were overwhelming, Hu Zi and Zhao Xinyi saw that the battle was like this at the beginning, and they were suddenly shocked and said: "It's over, it's all over......"
