In the early morning of August 30, 1937, in the southern suburbs of Luodian, the town.

The sky is not yet bright, the dark sky is like a huge black curtain enveloping the whole earth, from the black curtain, you can't see a little light, just like the people who are now under this black curtain, you can't see the slightest light on the future, however, the situation under the black curtain is diametrically opposite to the above, a cluster of flames rising in the sky, a pillar of light rising into the sky, the world under the deep night is dotted with colors, and occasionally you can see a pillar of thick smoke from the bursts of flash, Gradually rushed towards the dark curtain in the sky.

"Woohoo...... Boom, boom, boom, boom and ......boom" The sound of shelling from far and near sounded all around, and the earth trembled with this sound, and continued to emit it*, and from that painful sound, it seemed that it could be heard that the land was gradually unable to withstand the destruction of human beings, and involuntarily began to wail.

"Company commander, company commander, where is the company commander?" The sound of gunfire around is so amazing that it seems to be able to cover up all the sounds in heaven and earth.

"Who...... Who's calling me? "In such a noisy environment, a voice that seems crisp seems a little out of place.

And as this voice sounded, the people who were busy around moved around one after another, making way for a passage, and in the flying dirt, a "gap" could be vaguely seen for people to advance and retreat.

"Second platoon commander, let the brothers work harder, the battalion headquarters has just had an order to come, and the brothers in front may have to withdraw." The company commander walked towards the previous shouting voice, grabbed a person's collar and yelled a few words into his ear, with this posture, he usually would have to shake people's ears out of earwax, but at this time, the man glared at him and replied loudly: "Company commander, what are you talking about?" Do you want us to take it down? Which fucking king bastard ordered this? ”

The company commander had already walked around from the second platoon commander's side to the front, but when he heard the sound, he suddenly turned around, and without saying a word, he kicked the second platoon commander and scolded angrily: "I'm deaf!" Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground in front of him, as their brothers had struggled all night, the original dirt had been dug out of the trench, and now the dirt piled on the ditch was slowly sliding down with the trembling of the earth.

Seeing the gesture of the company commander, the second platoon commander suddenly realized, immediately shook his big head, buried his head again, and waved a shovel to turn up the dirt. The soldiers in gray cloth uniforms around them paid no attention to the noise around them, and only buried their heads in repairing the trenches.

"Company commander, this way, this side ......" The voice of the previous shout, watching the company commander's emaciated body keep approaching, suddenly became a little louder, through the fire of the distant shells, you can vaguely see that at one end of the trench, there are several people gathered together, and the tall body that waved towards this place is not the first squad leader Xu Qiang.

The company commander's heart tightened, and he didn't know what was going on over there, so he immediately stepped up his pace and walked towards that side.

At this moment, a cannonball whistled towards here, and the experienced veterans, hearing the whistling of the cannonball, immediately screamed badly, and at the same time shouted one after another: "Get down, get down!" ”

The people who were busy in the trench had been busy all night, and for such a scene, the ability to cope with such a scene was obviously much stronger than when they first came, and while the veterans shouted loudly, they shrank into the trench one by one.

"Boom!" An earth-shattering loud bang exploded in front of the trench a hundred meters away, there was the edge of the town, a few brave soldiers looked into the distance next to the edge of the trench after the explosion, but the situation they saw made them break out in a cold sweat, several houses on the edge of the town, after this shot, have lost their traces, only the dust and smoke in the sky are left to rush straight to the sky, some fragments made of unknown materials, completely crossed the distance of a hundred meters, and smashed down not far in front of them, that "Pu Pu" The sound of entering the earth made people's hairs stand on end.

The company commander shook off the sand that had slid on his body, and rushed to the side of the squad leader with a quick waist, and the distant firelight brought a glimmer of light to the place, allowing him to see clearly what was going on here at a glance.

Surrounded by this group of people, a man covered in blood was lying flat at the bottom of the trench, the black blood stains made this person almost one with the land, and now the man lay there without any movement, even the rumbling cannon fire and a series of machine gun fire around him did not play the slightest role, which made the company commander's heart lift.

"Lao Xu, what kind of person is this? Is there still gas? The arrival of the company commander made the people around consciously make a hole, and the enlarged circle surrounded the people on the ground again.

"I'm still angry, when I came back just now, I heard him humming on my back." The thin man on the side spoke first, his heaving chest and rapid gasps, obviously he had just experienced a strenuous exercise.

"Mahon, you carried this person back?" The company commander glanced at him hesitantly, and then looked at Xu Qiang, the squad leader on the side, puzzled.

Xu Qiang knew what the company commander meant when he looked at him, Ma Hong was only sixteen years old, and he was a half-old child, and when the army was training in Hanzhong last year, the company commander looked at a pitiful little beggar who was brought back from the street. In recent years, the army was in chaos, the troops often fought, and when the shortage was serious, people like Ma Hong and Lao Meng, who was in his 50s, were the targets of forced conscription.

However, Ma Hong, this kid is clever and likable, and he has been with him for more than a year, and he has taken care of him very well.

As soon as Xu Qiang wanted to explain a few sentences, he heard Ma Hong on the side rush to say again: "Company commander, this person was carried back by the squad leader and me in turn, from the town to here, most of the road was carried by the squad leader, and I took a hand when I was about to arrive." ”

Xu Qiang also hurriedly explained: "Company commander, this pony has been in my class for more than a year, when did you see me bullying him?" The sound of shelling along the way, I was in order to hurry up and withdraw, so I asked him to take a hand, next to the usual, he couldn't get this opportunity if he wanted to perform! ”

The company commander's face looked a little better, stared at the man on the ground and said, "Let you go to the front to inquire about the situation, why did you come back with a person on your back in a blink of an eye, what is the situation, aren't they all in front of Commander Qiu?" The health team of the division headquarters was also dispatched, so why did they send people to us? ”

Xu Qiang scratched his head, his inch-long hair was covered with dust, and this scratch was like snow, shaking off a layer.

"It was Battalion Commander Zhan who asked me to send it back, saying that the brothers on the line of fire were too injured and too busy to be in front, so if I could send one to the back, I would save one more life." Xu Qiang sighed and said.

"Lao Meng, go and call Haizi, Tietou, you go to the cooking class in the back to get some boiling water and gauze, the division health team is in the front town, there are only a few hygienists in our company, and this is a tough one." The company commander also made a decision on the spot, and after roughly figuring out the situation in a few words, he immediately made arrangements.

Haizi's name is Zheng Hai, he is the company's hygienist, he is a young man in his twenties, his family's medical skills, the Luodian in front is crossfire, the devil may fight here at any time, everyone is ready to fight, he is no exception, the medicine box is on his back, and the cotton gauze is wrapped on both sides of the body, which is the most convenient position, and when he heard the call, he rushed here in a few steps.

Glancing at the wounded on the ground, Hai Zi instinctively reached out and touched his chest, and the strong heartbeat suddenly relieved him, and he raised his head and said to the anxious people on the side: "The heartbeat is very strong, and the injury should not be serious." After saying that, he let out a strange "huh".

The company commander on the side suddenly asked eagerly, "What's wrong, Haizi?" ”

Zheng Hai looked up at the fierce exchange of fire in the town strangely, and then asked puzzledly, "Company commander, we only arrived here tonight, right?" ”

The people around nodded involuntarily, and the company commander also said strangely: "What's wrong with your kid's head, do you need to ask?" Didn't we just come here after dark to do fortifications and make a backup for the 306th Regiment? ”

"No, company commander, the blood scabs on this person's clothes have been at least three or four days, they have all dried and are as hard as stones, how can it be a few hours?" Zheng Hai said puzzled.

Xu Qiang saw the company commander's gaze, and said blankly: "Company commander, I don't know about this, when Battalion Commander Zhan handed over people to me, I didn't have time to ask so much." ”

The company commander lowered his head and thought about it, the artillery sound in the distance became more and more dense, and the entire Luodian seemed to be about to be razed to the ground by artillery fire, under the fierce battle situation, there was really no time to think about it so much, so he turned his head and said to Zheng Hai: "Haizi, you save people first, let's talk about it, Luodian's battle has not been fought for a day or two, I heard that the 11th Division and the 67th Division have fought hard with devils here, no matter which unit is the brother, if you can go to the front line to fight the devil, it is your own brother, and you have to do your best to save it." ”

Zheng Hai nodded heavily, and then quickly took out scissors to cut the clothes of the person on the ground, the thick blood stains on this person's clothes looked scary, but the injuries on the body did not seem to be so serious, so for a while, Zheng Hai did not find where the main wound was, he couldn't help but say a little anxiously: "Light the lamp, it's too dark, I can't see it." ”

Everyone looked at the company commander, and the company commander's heroic face suddenly showed a resolute look, and at the same time said affirmatively: "Light the lamp, the devil's plane can't come at night, it's important to save people, don't worry so much." ”

A small oil lamp lit up, the spark is not big, but for the dark surroundings, it is enough, but what makes Zheng Hai unbelievable is that there are no serious wounds on this person's body except for a few broken skin places, after thinking about it, he still checked the head of this person on the ground quite levelly, but to his surprise, except for a little broken skin, there are also no serious wounds.

Zheng Hai looked at the company commander on the side with an embarrassed expression, obviously, his appearance had already explained the doubts in his heart.

Everyone around looked at each other, all of them looking a little incredible.

Just then, another shrill whistling sound sounded in the distance, closer than the previous shell.

The commander didn't even think about it, so he shouted loudly: "Get down, get down!" ”

In the panic, I don't know whose foot kicked the head of the person on the ground, and suddenly a ghost crying wolf howl came, "Little devil, Lao Tzu fought with you!" ”
