Section XXV

Liu Yuanda, who gave the order to retreat in the distance, was furious, he waved his hand away from a few people beside him, rushed forward in the trench in three steps and two steps, and then carried a dark-skinned soldier with one hand and glared angrily and said, "What did you just say? Is there a kind of repeat for Lao Tzu? ”

This soldier who was grabbed by Liu Yuanda looked very young, he should have only been twenty-three or four years old, although his young face was mixed with dust and blood, but the skin exposed was still fair, at this time, this young soldier was not only not intimidated by Liu Yuanda's fierce appearance, but said loudly: "I, bah, shake your majesty in front of me?" There is a kind of going to shout with the little devils and retreat? So many brothers fought for their lives, and you said to retreat, retreat? You traitor, traitor, I hate to eat your flesh raw, drink your blood, and draw your soul to sacrifice in front of the grave of the martyrs. ”

Liu Yuanda's eyes widened, obviously a little dizzy from the series of wrinkled words of the guy in front of him, but just looking at the murderous and angry eyes of the person in his hand, he was angry in his heart, raised his hand and slapped him, and scolded angrily: "Damn, Lao Tzu is a traitor? Lao Tzu is a traitor? When Lao Tzu fought with the devil with a bayonet, you didn't know where to hide in the crotch of your fucking pants! Do you think Lao Tzu wants to withdraw? If you want to be in charge, you can stay here and fight with the little devils. ”

After speaking, Liu Yuanda seemed to feel that the slap just now was not enough, and he was about to kick it when he raised his leg, but before he kicked his leg, a figure flashed out on the side, and he hugged it tightly, and everyone looked at it, it was the second squad leader who was pointed at the head by Xu Qiang with a bayonet before, and it was obvious that the young soldier who contradicted Liu Yuanda was a member of their second squad.

At this time, Xu Qiang also leaned over, looked at Liu Yuanda's angry appearance, and immediately said: "Platoon leader, what are you angry with these boys who don't have the same hair, let's hurry up, the devils will rush up, and they can't leave if they want to." ”

Liu Yuanda's anger did not subside, and he glared angrily and scolded: "It's good to come up, save yourself from his mother's anger, damn it, this platoon leader is really not fucking human's work, he was not stabbed to death by the little devil, and sooner or later he will have to die of anger." ”

However, Xu Qiang's words obviously also reminded him that the battalion commander and company commander are not qualified to give the order to evacuate the position, at least it was issued by the regiment headquarters, and if something is wrong, it will be overturned, now is not usual, Liu Yuanda looks so bad, but he can mix in the position of an officer, and he is obviously not the kind of master with developed limbs and a simple mind, he is very aware of the consequences of violating military orders on the battlefield, and immediately snorted coldly and said to the two squad leaders: "Your hands and feet are numb, don't make any trouble for Lao Tzu." ”

After the previous scene, the resentment on the position disappeared a lot, and the anger when they heard the retreat before suddenly disappeared after a little thought, and they obviously understood that no matter how bold the platoon commander was, he probably wouldn't give such an order himself, this is a matter of losing his head, who would think that his life is long.

The Japanese troops in the distance didn't know if it was because of the previous heavy injury, or they were waiting for reinforcements or something, and they stopped attacking for a while at this moment, and those artillery pieces stopped for a while, and the whole position was strangely calm, but everyone knew that once the devils attacked again, I am afraid that they would really die.

Several people in the first class gathered around Tietou, the black face without a little blood, the hideous expression was frozen like this, but no one was afraid, this is their familiar brother, the next moment I am afraid that they will disappear forever in their lives, just like the previous squad deputy Zhou Wu and Jiao Yuan, will never appear again, within a few days of fighting, a squad killed three people and seriously injured one, although knowing the cruelty of the war, after the fact of lunch, it is really difficult to accept.

"Why don't you dig a pit for Uncle Ironhead." Xiao Shandong, who looked sad and angry on the side, whispered.

"Forget it, let's go, there's no time, we, Qiu Ba, are destined to be this fate, where to die, if you really want to lie down, it can be regarded as liberation, and those who are alive will suffer instead." Xu Qiang shook and sighed, not knowing whether he was talking about the iron head on the ground or himself.

Chen Daaxe on the side squatted down, reached out and touched the pocket of the iron head a few times, and suddenly found two paper cigarettes that had long been broken into several pieces, and the paper cigarettes had been soaked in blood, jet black, and extremely dazzling.

Put the paper cigarette into his mouth, light a match, take two puffs, and let him light it, Chen Daaxe grinned, put the cigarette butt in the mouth of the iron head, and muttered softly: "Bald head, no one is arguing with you now, the ears are quiet, remember to find the deputy and Jiao Yuan on the way, how many have a companion, if you meet a little devil, you are together, and you also have a foil, but they don't like to talk, you are bored." ”

Lao Meng raised his foot and kicked Chen Daaxe's buttocks, frowned and said: "Don't mess around, the little devil is from the East, how can you go with them, let's go, let's go, there are only a few of us left here." ”

Shi touched the dagger in his arms, thought about it and took it out, frowned and said, "Keep this knife for him." ”

Xu Qiang stopped, shook his head and said: "It won't take long for the devil to come up, this knife is an eyesore to stay here, take it, kill two more devils, and collect more debts for the iron head." ”

"Xu *zi, what the hell are you rubbing?" There was a rough roar in the distance, you don't need to look at it to know who it is, and under the urging of this voice, everyone finally took a step, just like Xu Qiang said before, the soldier is this life, once he lies down, he will be relieved, this thought also made them a little relieved, after all, they don't know when they will be like these people.

Only the face of the stone was calm, from the time he woke up to the present, among the people he knew, four had been lost, and the other squad and platoon people had fallen even more, and the humility of human life was not much better than that of ants.

When they retreated to the main position on the front of the hillside, they looked up and found that several officers were commanding there, obviously arranging the defense areas of each company and platoon, and seeing Xu Qiang and others from a distance, a handsome middle-aged officer greeted them, and said from a distance: "The face of the squad leader is not very good-looking, do you have any opinions on the order to retreat?" ”

Xu Qiang had been in a state of mind before, and he was suddenly startled when he heard this voice, and then looked at it, the person in front of him was the colonel's staff officer Zhang Lingfu, a few steps away from his staff officer Zhang, the regiment commander Cheng Zhi and the deputy regiment commander and others were also commanding the various departments that retreated to the main position, and immediately straightened up and hurriedly saluted.

"Sir, I only know how to fight devils according to orders, as for how to fight and where to fight, I will act according to orders." Xu Qiang said solemnly.

"Yes, you're a little enlightened." Zhang Lingfu nodded and said, his eyes swept over their squad leader, and then the faint smile on his face disappeared, and he said heavily: "It seems that you suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle." ”

Xu Qiang felt bitter in his heart, and sighed: "Sir, the devil's cannon is too powerful, and the brothers don't even have time to react ......" As soon as he said this, Xu Qiang's voice became a little unnatural, trying to be a little indescribable.

"Follow your company commander to the rear position to rest, this battle is still fought, and the debts owed by the little devils will be recovered sooner or later." Zhang Lingfu's voice was cold, and he looked at the Japanese position in the distance, because it was too far away, without a telescope, it was really not very real, but from Staff Officer Zhang's tone, everyone had already heard a strong killing intent, especially when they saw the long knife mark on Staff Officer Zhang's shoulder, they were even more touched, although it was not the first time they had seen it.

The team of the first squad then rushed towards the position, Staff Officer Zhang's gaze swept over the face of the stone, and saw that this young man who had had several sides of the relationship had a cold expression at the moment, frowning and contemplative, and did not bother, after sweeping his eyes, he looked at the position of the Japanese army again, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised a sneer.

With the command of the company commander, the remaining 6 people in a squad finally found their position, and until this moment, they finally had time to stop and observe the next place to be stationed.

This is the location of the main peak of the entire hillside, after the efforts of the enemy and us when they occupy each other, the positions on the entire hill are criss-crossed, and all kinds of bunker facilities are complete, although in the repeated bombardment of the Japanese army in the past few days, the hill has almost been flattened by a layer, but then repaired, in the case of the general outline has not been destroyed, the position here still seems very strong and durable.

And the position of their squad is similar to that of the mountainside, they are all on the far right flank of the position, and the area of defense is the enemy attacking from the right side of the hillside, but because they are close to the top of the hillside, the area they need to defend is much smaller, and the pressure they need to bear is also doubled.

"Machine gun bunkers! This is where we stand? After hurriedly placing the machine gun into the projectile hole, they kept looking at the bunker built between two boulders, above the bunker was a big stone, which was erected on both sides of the boulder, and the top was camouflaged with mud and weeds, and the concealment effect was quite good, and the main thing was that the trench here was not like where they were before, only half a man high, and it was very laborious to shoot with a half-squat, and now it was possible to reach the deep ditch at their shoulders, Its protective effect is obviously much higher, especially the machine gun position where the pillar and Chen Daaxe are located, except for the fact that the very inverted frieze is directly hit by the shell, it is difficult to play any role in killing and destructive, which undoubtedly allows the machine gunner to concentrate on completing the attack.

After looking at the nearby position, Shi put his gaze on his back, on which it was the position of the second class, and then he frowned, as if thinking about something.

"This is a compound position, we are the first line of defense, and the second squad is the second line, so that a three-dimensional fire network can be formed to form a cross-fire, in this case, even if the devils rush in, the brothers of the second line of defense can condescendingly provide us with fire support, and the integrity and defense have been greatly improved." Seeing the puzzled expression of the stone, Xu Qiang on the side patiently explained.

Shi sighed softly, nodded, and then said strangely, "Looks like we're going to counterattack tonight." ”

Xu Qiang was startled, lowered his voice and asked, "You...... What do you hear? ”

Shi shook his head blankly, and said with a wry smile: "No, I just have a feeling that I am familiar with these things, but I can't remember how to think about it." ”
