Section XXXV

The rumbling sound was very slight, and the snoring sound on the position was very difficult to hear, but the trembling of the earth and the debris that had slipped on the mountainside showed no doubt that the reaction was abnormal, and the stone involuntarily cheered up and looked eagerly to both sides.

In just a moment, the sound became louder and louder, and even everyone in their sleep was awakened by the rumbling sound, and looked down the mountain in disbelief.

There was nothing unusual about the Japanese troops in the distance, and there were no busy figures on the Japanese artillery positions at the moment, and it seemed that they had no intention of launching an attack in a short time, which made them a little surprised, and they couldn't help but calm down and listen to the direction in which the sound appeared.

Soon, there was movement on both sides of Fang Mountain, and the Japanese cavalry that disappeared a few days ago suddenly rushed out from the two wings of Fang Mountain like two sharp arrows, and the sudden fierce and fast posture suddenly startled everyone, and instinctively let them clench the rifles in their hands, and pointed their guns at the bottom of the mountain.

However, their nervousness was obviously superfluous, and the enemy horsemen who were galloping across the country did not even have the interest to look at them, but rushed forward, leaving only the dust rising into the air and the backs of the crowd to make everyone uncertain.

"The battalion commander, the first company commander and the second company commander report that the devils in front of their positions have retreated!" The shouts of the communicators could be heard from the woods behind the position.

Hearing this, Zheng Pusheng suddenly scolded in a low voice: "Fuck, Lao Tzu is not blind, I can't see such a big battle of devils?" ”

Staff Officer Dai had already been awakened at this moment, looking at the enemy situation under the mountain, and listening to the scolding in Zheng Pusheng's mouth, he suddenly asked hesitantly: "Battalion Commander Zheng, are the devils going to withdraw?" ”

"Withdraw? How is this possible! The devil has spent three or four days with us here, and seeing that after a few more assaults, Fang Shan is about to fall into their hands, how can the little devil be willing to retreat? Zheng Pusheng said, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes, which was obviously different from what he said.

Hearing this, Staff Officer Dai was obviously a little lost, he seemed to be a little tired of the bloody battle in front of him, after all, the first time he endured this kind of attack day and night, both physically and psychologically, he was a little unbearable.

At this time, a cold voice came from the side, and he said coldly: "As long as the little devils dare to come up, this time they will all be confessed here." ”

The stone's words made Staff Officer Dai on the side look at him in awe, obviously he had been shocked by this young company commander in the past few days, looking at the murderous face of the stone, Staff Officer Dai unconsciously felt a lot more confident, and the feeling of loss gradually disappeared.

And Zheng Pusheng suddenly smiled at the stone and said, "What? In such a hurry, the reserves are about to be dispatched? ”

Shi looked at the Japanese army who had become a small black spot, took a light breath and withdrew his rifle, lay back in the trench and said: "Battalion commander, it's been three days, we still haven't received any support, so if we continue to consume this bit of people, we will have to run out sooner or later. ”

Zheng Pusheng smiled unconcernedly: "I see, there will be no support, the artillery sound in the direction of Chunhua Town has not stopped in the past few days, and this battle is much more fierce than ours." We withdrew all the way from Songhu, not only did we not get the rectification, but we had to stay here to stop the enemy, this is deliberately to let us be cannon fodder, or not, then kill a few more little devils, and we are worthy of this military uniform. ”

After speaking, Zheng Pusheng looked at the devil in the distance and didn't move, anyway, he was also woken up, and he couldn't sleep for the time being, so he simply smiled at Staff Officer Dai on the side: "Staff Officer Dai, you see that our first battalion is resolute in carrying out the orders of the regimental headquarters, guarding this position, we haven't retreated more than half a step, I can tell the three company commanders, as long as there is one person left, we will never let the little devil go up the mountain." ”

Staff Officer Dai came to supervise the battle this time, originally because he was afraid that the first battalion would escape from the battle, but it was not until after the battle started that he found that he came here was simply a matter of doing more, facing the devils, let alone escaping, these guys' desire to fight was stronger than anyone else, for this reason, he seemed to understand the unhappy look on the face of Zheng Pusheng, the commander of the first battalion, when he came here. Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled bitterly, at this time, he wanted to leave here early, but can he say this? This opening is clearly going to make people laugh.

Staff Officer Dai took a few deep breaths to calm his mood, and only after a long time did he say: "The first battalion commander is brave and good at fighting, loyal to his duties, and personally led the brothers of the first battalion to defeat the enemy. ”

Zheng Pusheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, stretched out his leg and kicked out at Staff Officer Dai, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "Go and go, damn it, what are you talking about here?" Who did you learn from this sycophant kung fu, it's endless. ”

Staff Officer Dai hurriedly responded: "These are all heartfelt words, it is really an honor in this life to be able to kill the enemy side by side with Battalion Commander Zheng." ”

Zheng Pusheng shook his head after laughing and said, "You are wrong!" Pointing to the people in the distance of the trench, he said in a firm tone: "It is our honor to fight devils with these brothers, live and die together, fearlessly, but unfortunately, after this battle, I don't know how many people will be able to go back alive." ”

"Go back? Where to go? Battalion commander, there is the capital behind him, according to this view, it is difficult to say whether we can hold it, where else can we go back? The stone leaned there, helplessly, and the confusion about the future seemed to make him lose his direction and confidence in the future.

"No matter how difficult the war is, there will always be a day when the war will be over, and when the war is over, we should go home." Zheng Pusheng also sighed lightly and said, obviously not much confidence in his words, after all, the corpses piled up under the mountain are like a small mountain, and they are not too far from death, after speaking, he seemed to think of something, and smiled at the stone: "If you can't remember the previous events after the battle, then go home with me, you are my own brother, and my family is your family." ”

Shi Yan was moved in his heart when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only grin innocently, and then nodded, for such a distant thing, he really didn't have the heart to think so much, but when he thought of going home with the battalion commander, he also had a kind of expectation in his heart, home, what a familiar and unfamiliar word, and then he thought of the white face in his mind, but his face was very blurry, it looked like it was in the fog, only a pair of eyes full of kindness and love, which made Shi's heart tremble.

At this moment, Staff Officer Dai on the side screamed, he pointed to the distance and shouted: "Devil, devil is here!" ”

This exclamation made the people of the three companies on the position busy for a while, and even the stones were lying on the front of the trench again, looking into the distance with concern, and suddenly, the picture that made them nervous appeared, only to see the Japanese troops in the brigade rushing towards Fangshan, and their number was much larger than the number of attackers in the previous days.

"Oh no, the devil is going to fight us!" Stone's face suddenly twisted as he watched so many enemies approaching the mountain at a rapid pace, and he involuntarily let out a low sigh.

Zheng Pusheng on the side turned his head at this time and glanced at him, the solemn and shocked expressions on the faces of the two of them, at a glance, obviously facing what may be the strongest wave of attacks after the war, they did not have the confidence that they had before.

"Battalion Commander Zheng, the reserves, quickly transfer the reserves up, there are too many devils, we will not be able to hold it." Staff Officer Dai also lost his former stability at this time, and shouted tremblingly, as if only in this way could he alleviate the depression in his heart.

However, although Zheng Pusheng's face was extremely embarrassed, he was able to stabilize his position, and after the previous shock, he finally came back to his senses, he looked at the devil who was getting closer and closer, but shouted loudly: "Steady, don't mess around, first see the direction of the devil's attack!" Messenger, go and inform the company and get them ready for battle. ”

Hearing the voice of the correspondent shaking the phone from a distance, Zheng Pusheng also put all his energy on the devils who came in front of the mountain again, staring at their every move without blinking, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, the devil's series of actions made him feel a little confused, although the devil in front of the mountain was amazing, but instinctively, he felt that the devil did not look like he was going to attack.

It is nothing that the routine artillery bombardment before the attack did not appear, but since the devil sent so many people as if he was preparing to finish the battle, then the retreat of the cavalry before seemed to make no sense, after all, the impact of the enemy cavalry caused them very large casualties some time ago, how could the devil self-destruct and not use a sharp weapon?

Thinking like this, the Japanese army had rushed through the spacious area hundreds of steps in front of the hillside and rushed to the foot of Fang Mountain, looking at the huge momentum of the devil team and the solemn atmosphere, although Zheng Pusheng was still puzzled, but he didn't dare to have any carelessness and negligence, and whispered to the stone and said: "Tell the tall sledgehammer that when the devils break through the position, it is the time for their reserves to come out, and if they can fight one more devil, we will earn one more!" ”

Shi nodded and said, "Don't worry, battalion commander, the devil wants to eat us without breaking a few teeth, that's a dream!" With that, the stone turned and walked to the flank, and handed over to the surviving brothers of the third company, ready to make a final desperate fight.
