Section XXXIII

The sky lit up unconsciously, and Zheng Pusheng, the commander of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment, looked at the white sky blankly, feeling like a world away. He felt like he was having a long, frightening, suffocating dream. In the dream, countless robes and brothers fell, and the fierce screams almost pierced his eardrums. In the illusion, countless demons smirked and pounced on them, and the flames from their mouths were clearly a rather terrifying machine gun. Familiar figures were struggling under the claws of the demons, some wanted to resist, some wanted to retreat quickly, but everyone's actions did not have the slightest effect after all, and they were swallowed up in the evil ghost's cruel laughter.

The sound of gunfire was gone, the shouts of killing were gone, and the ghost's hideous laughter drifted into the distance, empty and quiet, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke wafting in the air was mixed with blood, burnt, and foul smell, and merged into a strange smell, smelling nausea, spitting up, looking up at the sky covered by gray smoke, Zheng Pusheng was unaware.

After a while, perhaps it was a little difficult for him to keep moving, so he involuntarily moved his buttocks slightly, wanting to relax his body, but what he didn't expect was that the soreness that came from all over his body suddenly wrapped him, countless joints, as if they were about to be torn, and grinned in pain.

In the silence, the company commander's action suddenly attracted the attention of the people around him, and a slightly hoarse young voice asked in his ear: "Company commander, are you okay?" ”

Turning his head, Zheng Pusheng saw a young face that looked strange and familiar, with dark skin, ordinary appearance, and a pair of eyes slightly larger than ordinary people revealing a calmness that did not match his age, who else was not a stone? The appearance of this face suddenly pulled Zheng Pusheng from that illusory feeling into reality, and then the bloody and tragic battle situation last night suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a dark picture with no end in sight, in the picture, most of the brothers of the 302nd Regiment were blocked by a long wall of fire, in front of the wall of fire was Shura Purgatory, behind the wall of fire were panicked them, in just a few minutes, those who were usually brave and abnormal, and who had been with them on this hillside for four or five days, sacrificed their lives and martyred their country, and the ferocity and cruelty of the enemy were far beyond their imagination.

Then the picture turned, the battlefield returned to the position halfway up the mountain, they luckily left a life to come back, in the past few days by the Japanese artillery destroyed by the Japanese artillery on the battered position with the enemy bloody battle, a steady stream of Japanese soldiers from the darkness into the position, like the end of the demons from the netherworld, the morale of the 3rd Company fell to the bottom of the soldiers were quickly divided and surrounded.

In the picture, the stone appeared, this young soldier, each holding a saber in each hand, his whole body was stained red with blood, the whole person was like a fierce god descending to earth, fearless rushed to the Japanese army, all the fierce Japanese soldiers close to his side, at this moment as if cursed by the devil, they all fell down, under the sword of the stone, there was almost no general, and he was followed by a group of people, they were wounded, but they all moved forward bravely, without fear, seeing the old and young figures, Looking at the crooked and obviously injured body of the squad leader, Zheng Pusheng suddenly had the urge to cry loudly, this is his troops, this is his robed brothers, it is such a group of "old, weak, sick and disabled", who have killed the almost invincible enemy in their eyes The ghost cries wolf, scatters and retreats, seeing the picture of the Japanese army retreating where the stone blade is pointing, Zheng Pusheng feels that his life has been in vain, and this company commander has also been in vain.

More and more brothers from the three companies joined the seemingly fragile team, and the shouts of killing resounded louder and louder on the battlefield with no hope, and then the brothers who had been divided and surrounded gradually gathered together, roaring and killing a bloody path in the midst of the enemy group, and finally retreating to the position at the top of the hillside.

Although they were attacked by Japanese fire on the way, they were not completely annihilated, and this was already a good ending.

Zheng Pusheng's eyes stared at Shishi's face, and after a while, he said with a wry smile: "Shishi, who are you?" ”

Shi Shi also looked at the company commander blankly, and his simple face looked a little terrifying because of the layers of dried blood, but his eyes were full of blankness, and he just said helplessly: "Who am I?" Who the hell am I? After saying that, the stone painfully hid his head in a pair of big hands, and his body trembled helplessly, and the killing of last night almost made him collapse.

Xu Qiang next to him leaned over, half of his body was already stained with blood, unlike the stone, the blood stains on his body, but most of them were his own blood, which made his face look very pale, and the whole person did not have his usual shrewd look, in vain as if he was several years older.

"As long as I can survive, sooner or later I will be able to remember what happened in the past. If you're dead, it doesn't matter who you are. Xu Qiang muttered and looked at the sky, as if he was talking to a stone, and as if he was talking to himself.

The stone raised his head, recalling the words of the squad leader, and muttered to himself: "Alive!" Keep alive! ”

The most basic survival instinct of human beings has become the most extravagant thing in their lives at this moment, after such a long period of bloody fighting, no one dares to guarantee that they can leave this battlefield alive, even if it is an extremely brave stone, after thinking of the battle in the past few days, his face is also pale and abnormal, and his heart is shocked.

Alive? Covered by the shells of aircraft artillery, it is not easy to survive the seemingly endless onslaught of Japanese troops!

However, Xu Qiang's words played a great role after all, and Shi seemed to quickly understand a truth, that is, if you want to clear up your identity, you must at least finish this battle alive first.

"Hey, why hasn't the little devil's plane come yet?" At this time, Xiao Shan said strangely.

This light sound suddenly woke up the people who were still in the clouds, until this time they did find an abnormality, in the past the Japanese army's early morning and dusk offensives, it was all on time, unless it was like a few days ago when the thunderstorm did not come, almost once there was no accident, but today this time is not early.

Zheng Pusheng's thoughts are much more far-reaching than others, as a company commander, at this moment he suddenly remembered the duty on his body, gritted his teeth, and staggered up from the trench, although the pain in his body made him almost fall headlong, but after shaking a few times, he finally held on, took a long breath, and then shouted from the position: "Is the company deputy here?" ”

Lian Deputy was the one who led the attack yesterday, and the horror was more than auspicious at the moment, but Zheng Pusheng still asked with a little hope, but there was no response.

"Are the three platoon commanders still alive?" Zheng Pusheng continued to shout with an expressionless face.

"Company commander, I'm still alive." A neutral voice sounded, it was Zhou Yuan, who reprimanded his subordinates for throwing * last night.

Seeing that there were a few bloody wounds on the third platoon leader, but the situation was not bad, Zheng Pusheng nodded slightly comfortingly, and then asked, "Platoon Commander Zhou, how many people are still in your platoon?" ”

Zhou Yuan had obviously counted the number of people before, and at this time he said in a voice that almost cried: "Including me, there are 5 in total." ”

Even Zheng Pusheng was very prepared, but when the third platoon commander reported this number, he was still stimulated to fall down, 5 people, only half a squad was left in a platoon, and this battle could not be described as tragic.

Then Zheng Pusheng continued to inquire about the situation of each squad and platoon, and the results made him look up to the sky and sigh, the whole company of hundreds of people, staying in the position at the moment, but 32 people, 3 platoon commanders killed 2 people, 10 squad leaders only 4 people left, this kind of loss, according to the convention, has lost the ability to fight, but in the absence of receiving the retreat order, Zheng Pusheng has no right to decide without authorization, can only helplessly say to everyone: "The little devil doesn't know when he will attack, In order to facilitate the command of the next battle, I will temporarily readjust the personnel. ”

"The first squad leader Xu Qiang is temporarily a platoon leader, the first platoon is reduced to two squads, 8 people per squad, and the third platoon leader Zhou Yuan temporarily acts as the second platoon leader, which is also reduced to two squads, 7 people per squad, the area where the first platoon is stationed remains unchanged, and the second platoon is transferred to the position above in order to support each other......" Zheng Pusheng was in pain, but he had to continue to fight and arrange the defense of the position, compared to the loss of personnel, the defense of the position is a more important thing, I believe that the regiment headquarters will report the serious damage of the troops to the brigade headquarters, and their task at the moment, It is to do everything possible to drag the friendly forces that are mobilized to come.

Shi Shi was dumbfounded, he seemed to hear the company commander mention his name in a daze, and then saw a pair of more surprised eyes staring at him in surprise, it was Xiao Shandong on the side, but Xiao Shandong's surprised eyes also had a trace of envy, and more of them still admired the look, and after the surprise, he secretly gave Xiao Shandong a thumbs up.

At this time, the company commander had already arranged the affairs of the general body, and just wanted to sit down when he felt the uneasy gaze of the stone.

Last night, there were people who blocked the killing, and the gods blocked the stone that killed the Buddha, but at the moment he was cramped and uneasy, and said: "Even ...... Chief, I heard you right, I'm a squad leader? ”
