Section XLVII

One after another, the horses were slaughtered on the spot by the stones and others who gradually recovered their strength, and with the gushing of blood poured out, the wailing sound that shrouded the battlefield gradually disappeared, and gradually, this bloody place quieted down, except for a few occasional low-voiced conversations, there was no other action.

The stone leaned on the belly of a war horse, and the sharp dagger in his hand slashed near the horse's leg, and he skillfully cut off a large piece of meat.

Looking at the piece of meat that was still dripping blood in his hand, Xiao Shandong involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked a little incredulously: "Brother Shi, do you eat like this?" ”

While continuing to cut the meat, the stone nodded without looking back and said: "Let's eat it, there is no way to raise the fire now, if Brother Zhuzi doesn't mention it, I almost forgot that we didn't even care about lunch, and if we don't fill our stomachs, I'm afraid that the devil will come up, and I won't even be able to lift the knife." ”

Xiao Shandong's brows furrowed more and more tightly, he turned his head to look around, the pillar on the side was already leaning on there and biting hard, but such fresh meat is really not easy to bite, even if it is dragged by the old man, he can only grind it a little bit by his teeth, which looks quite laborious, and under this action, his hands and face are also covered with blood.

As if sensing Xiao Shandong's gaze, the pillar stopped biting and raised his head, and even grinned rarely, but this action obviously startled Xiao Shandong, looking at his face that had already cut a series of cuts and now a bloody mouth full of minced meat, Xiao Shandong couldn't help but shudder.

The stone had already cut a piece of meat again, and without the slightest hesitation or scruples, it was stuffed into its mouth, and while its mouth was chewing, its eyes had already fallen vigilantly near the enemy rider in the distance, carefully observing the movements of the devil, guarding against another attack that might be launched at any time.

Seeing the stone like this, Xiao Shandong could only look down at the piece of meat in his hand with a sad face, and after a long time, he hesitated to send the piece of meat to his mouth......

The devil's attack was unexpectedly delayed, and I don't know if the previous bloody battle did not eat them in one fell swoop but lost too many manpower, which made the devils quite jealous of their strength, or now that they are surrounded here, they are not in a hurry to attack, this stalemate lasted from the afternoon to dusk, and there was still no change in the slightest.

Faced with such a situation, although the people of the third company couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but a bitter taste also kept rising from the bottom of their hearts, Fang Shan undoubtedly had fallen into the control of the devil, and the Japanese reinforcements who appeared in the Moling area in the morning may have completed the interspersed division of the first line of defense at this moment! In this way, in fact, they are surrounded by the large army of devils, and every minute of delay, the Japanese defense line will be more stable, which is completely a relationship between one and the other, representing the loss of their vitality.

However, knowing that this is the case, they have no other way, although the attack of the devil cavalry was repulsed, but it only played a role in the fallen body of the war horse and the terrain of the chaotic stone forest, once they returned to the flat ground, the pursuers behind and the cavalry in front of any unit had the ability to tear them to pieces.

Looking at the gradually dull sky, Staff Officer Dai touched it, and carefully looked at the distance and there was nothing abnormal, then he whispered: "Company Commander Shi, do you still break through at night?" ”

Shi smiled bitterly, and asked instead, "What is the best way for Staff Officer Dai?" ”

Staff Officer Dai suddenly understood the expression of the stone when he saw it, sat down and muttered: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, we can't go!" The devil may wish we could break through now, once we leave here, I am afraid that we will not have that chance to cut off the horse's legs. ”

Shi sighed: "It's not much better to stay here, it's really hard to say whether you can stop the devil's next attack." ”

"That's better than going out to die, and you can kill a few more devils here." Saying that, Staff Officer Dai smiled proudly: "In the previous battle, I cut down five devils in a row, tsk, I am afraid that this matter is the most commendable and proud in this life." ”

Shi couldn't help grinning slightly, maybe Staff Officer Dai's chuckle made him a lot easier, but Staff Officer Dai's record was really nothing to him, and there would be no fewer devils who died in his hands in any battle, which made it difficult for him to remember how many devils he had killed, maybe he hadn't paid attention to it at all.

"With the skills of Staff Officer Dai, I will definitely be able to kill more in the future." Stone said with relief.

"Company Commander Shi, are you comforting me, although my Dai Jun is a little timid and afraid of death, but not so afraid of death that he has no backbone, Battalion Commander Zheng took the initiative to be a decoy in order to let us break through, and Company Commander Li took a group of wounded to defend Fangshan in order to break the queen, so many brothers have fallen, if I still care so much about my little life, do I still deserve to wear this military uniform? My life is already enough, and pulling a few more devils on the road is the last wish of this life. Staff Officer Dai glared at the stone dissatisfiedly and said.

Shi Shi was expressionless about this, and said calmly: "Although we may be killed when we rush out, there is still a glimmer of life, and if I stay, I can kill a few more devils, but there is no hope at all, although I also want to fight with this life to die with the devils, but the order given to me by the battalion commander is to let me bring these brothers back, not to kill the enemy and stop the enemy, so as long as I still have a breath, I will never give up the plan to break through." ”

Staff Officer Dai was speechless for a while, the idea of the stone was obviously a bit beyond his expectations, but the order Zheng Pusheng gave them was indeed the same, and it was really understandable to do so, but now he had to rush out to die, isn't it a little too paranoid?

At this time, the stone turned back to Xiao Shandong and confessed a few words, let him step forward to take his place, and then he turned around and rushed towards the position of the third row, the devils did not attack for such a long time, and it was also because the dead defense tactics arranged in the afternoon did not play any role, and it was about to get dark, he planned to wait until night to break through with the team, naturally he needed to redeploy the attack sequence, at least the team's attack strength needs to be guaranteed, in the face of the devil's interception, can kill a bloody way, in this way, The three rows of people who are still neat have become the top priority.

The sky had also darkened, and during this time, the stone had already summoned the three platoon leaders to agree on the direction of the breakthrough and the order of action of each platoon. However, before they could make any more moves, a burst of cannon fire in the distance suddenly exploded around the sky.

When everyone heard this, several officers looked at each other, and the artillery fire, which had been stopped for almost an afternoon, suddenly rang out when they were about to break through, which was really too unexpected.

The tall sledgehammer turned his head to look at the position of the stone in the gap between the explosion of the shell, and did not make a sound, and the stone also looked at it at the same time at this time, and understood the meaning of the other party at a glance, almost without thinking about it, the stone blurted out: "The matter of breaking through is postponed for the time being, if there is anything, I will talk about it when the devil is repulsed." ”

After all, the stones didn't care about the violent explosions around them again, and kept rushing towards the row of positions, after all, compared to the advance of the infantry, those cavalry who came and went like the wind were the most headache for them at the moment.

"Company Commander Shi, it seems that we are thinking of going with the devil, and we are all waiting for the night to cover up the action after dark. Judging by it this way, the little devil doesn't intend to let us live this night again. "The first row here is not like the third row where it has been attacked by artillery fire, but although the cannonballs whistling in the air are still some distance away from them, they still make them shrink one by one and dare not move at will, and seeing the stones rushing back in the dark, Staff Officer Dai also said with great confidence in his heart.

Shi Shi saw that there was no change in the darkness outside the position, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a wry smile: "It seems that the devil is also preventing us from breaking through at night, otherwise we wouldn't have launched an attack as soon as it gets dark, and the previously agreed breakthrough seems to have no chance to be implemented." ”

Staff Officer Dai said calmly: "Isn't this better?" Anyway, it's a dead end, and the next heart is exchanged with the devil for his life, and it's worth it to die tonight. ”

Shi groaned and lowered his head, listening to the increasingly fierce cannon sound around him, he couldn't help but think of the battalion commander's face full of concern, which made Shi feel a pain in his heart, and silently said in his heart: "Battalion commander, I'm useless, I can't complete your order, tonight, the brothers may all have to confess here." ”

"Brother Shi, the devil is here!" Xiao Shandong, who was in the corner on the side, suddenly let out an exclamation.

Shi's heart sank, and he shook his head hard to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and at this time, the slight tremor of the ground and a rumbling sound gradually reached his ears, and the trembling of the ground was obviously different from being bombarded, not the kind of situation where it stopped after a trance, but a burst of strength, as if the mountains were shaking.

Looking at the outside of the position again, it was black, and it was not really true at all, let alone aiming and shooting, which made the speed advantage of the cavalry extremely high, making people uncertain.

At this point, the stone had nothing to think about, and he reached out and touched the long saber on the side.

......At the same time, a fierce burst of gunfire broke out from the three platoons of positions, and the front and rear positions exchanged fire at the same time.
