Section XXIV

The stone did not rest well as Wang Qianqian advised, and he was wrapped in thick gauze at all, and he didn't stop for a moment and jumped around, sometimes ordering Li Wenguang to build a new fire support point on the flank, and sometimes sending people to other areas to strengthen the defense, in the face of the strong strength of the Japanese army, they were really overstretched, and they had to carefully do everything they could to take precautions.

At this time, after Ji Hongru learned about the danger here, he also hurried back to Dangshan County, saying that he wanted to ask for reinforcements and transport weapons for them, in this regard, the stone was naturally very happy, not to mention the reinforcements, if there are a large number of weapons and ammunition equipment, their strength will naturally go to a higher level, last year in Jiqingmen when they have experienced it once, the same force after being equipped with a large number of machine guns, The terrifying explosive power displayed in an instant felt a little incredible even to them, and now if they could be equipped with a few more machine guns, they could rely on the advantage of the location to hold for a longer period of time.

Looking at the Japanese army in the distance below the mountain and gathering again, it seemed to be preparing for the next round of attack, Shi couldn't help but look back at the brothers beside him, these brothers in a company are worthy of being veterans of battle, at this moment one by one lying in the crater of the shell smashed out of the crater most of them are snoring and sleeping, there is no tension before the big war, this kind of lazy performance, but let the stone breathe a sigh of relief, this is the veteran who really knows how to fight, do not let go of any interval, in order to keep himself in the best state at all times.

Eyes swept over most of the position, a rather thin figure suddenly made the stone stunned, Wang Qianqian, who had not rested since she came to the position, was still busy until this moment, and almost everyone was injured in several bloody battles one after another, and now they were lying down and resting, and several people from the medical team were busy and dizzy.

Thinking that when Commander Ji was leaving, he also told him about Battalion Commander Zheng, the stone was a pain in his heart, from the time he opened his eyes, Battalion Commander Zheng took great care of him, and fought dozens of battles side by side along the way, countless times of living and dying together made them even more intimate, what made Stone miss the most was that every time between battles, the battalion commander pulled him to talk nonsense, the customs of various places, the famous mountains and rivers of the country, and his "most beautiful" fiancée, It had always made Stone curious about this strange world, and now, it was all over, the battle was over, and no one had gossiped with him anymore.

Squad Leader Xu, Deputy Zhou Ban, Zhuzi, Chen Daaxe, Old Uncle, Tietou, remembered, remembered, clear, and blurred faces with different expressions suddenly crossed his mind one by one, making him lose his mind for a moment, but soon he came back to his senses, frowned, and walked towards Wang Qianqian.

"Sister-in-law, the devil is about to come up, you better go to the back and rest first." Shi squatted down, and as he spoke, he patted the brother in the crater with concern, and then asked, "Was it grazed by shrapnel?" What do you think? Did the pieces inside come out? ”

As soon as the soldier who was being treated saw the stone, he immediately got up and saluted, but his body was already held down by the stone, and he grinned and said, "Battalion commander, what is my little injury?" You continue to fight with the little devil with such a big hole on your back, and I just scratch the skin. ”

Seeing that Wang Qianqian was going to continue to bandage a wound on his arm, the thug couldn't help it, and hurriedly waved his hand and accused: "Sister-in-law, this little injury won't bother you, I'll just pull a strip of cloth and wrap it, and these gauze will be left for those seriously injured brothers." ”

Looking at the performance of this soldier, Wang Qianqian couldn't help but raise her head and glared at the stone, she was also simple, she didn't force anything, just said to the person in front of her: "Clean the wound when you have time, don't get infected, if there is ulceration and swelling in two days, come to me in time, don't hold on." ”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, don't worry about this little injury." The soldier grinned.

"Stone, don't patronize me and let me rest, what about the injury on your own back, you should know better than me, I know that you have a lot of things to do as a battalion commander, but people are not beaten by iron, the old injuries have not been completely recovered, and new injuries have been added to the body, if this continues, you will fall sick in the future." After Wang Qianqian walked away a few steps, she began to frown and talk about the stone, and the concern in her tone made the stone not dare to refute at all, so she could only keep lighting it like a chicken eating rice.

After she finished speaking, the stone grinned and said: "Sister-in-law, the most important thing at the moment is to fight devils, as for the future, I really can't think about it so much, to be honest, people like us don't even know if we can survive tonight, and it's really a little out of reach to think about the future now." ”

Wang Qianqian could only sigh when she heard this, and only said after a while: "Last year, Brother Zheng told me the same thing. ”

Shi Shi was stunned when he heard the sound, and looked at the way his sister-in-law on the side lowered her head and sighed, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Battalion commander, why are you walking so fast?" You're just leaving, who's going to take care of your sister-in-law! ”

"Whoosh" just when the two of them fell into silence and each recalled the painful past, the long whistling sound broke the silence around them, and once again awakened the frenzy around the Loess Mountain, and listening to the whistling of the cannonballs, the stone was also shocked, shouting "lie down" in his mouth, but seeing that the sister-in-law on the side did not make the slightest movement, he also did not hesitate to pounce sideways and threw her to the ground.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the whole mountain trembled, and the cannonball that exploded not far from the stone just stood directly set off a flame that was more than a foot high, and sprinkled the earth with the earth-shattering momentum, which was far from being able to resist the fragile body of human beings. The explosion was just the beginning of another round of shelling, followed by a loud bang that plunged several hills within a radius of several miles into a sea of smoke and fire.

I don't know how long it took, after a burst of bombardment, the stone felt that the tremor on the ground seemed to have subsided, which made him shake his head buried deep in the soil, ready to check the movement of the devil, but he was just about to look up, he felt something strange, there seemed to be some heat under his chest, and faintly, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance, which made the stone startled, and the whole person became sensitive, and then he felt that his chest seemed to be a little soft, Instinctively, he reached out.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" in the stone head, and he suddenly remembered what was going on! It's sister-in-law! Just when the bombardment of the devil began, he threw down his dazed sister-in-law in a hurry! In an instant, Shishi's face turned red, and he lowered his head with some difficulty, and suddenly saw his sister-in-law who was pressed against him, and his hand was pressing on her protruding chest.

Shrunk in the chest of the stone, Wang Qianqian's cheeks were also red, she closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them, as if she was afraid to see the other party's eyes, feeling the other party's strong and powerful heartbeat, I don't know why, but she felt an inexplicable sense of security, like a boat drifting in the wind and waves, and finally found a harbor where she could shelter from the wind, so that she didn't have to be afraid anymore, no longer afraid......

Shi Shi got up with his hands and feet, and suddenly stammered and asked, "Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, you ...... Are you okay! ”

Where could Wang Qianqian still make a sound, she just nodded shamefully, and even she didn't know whether she nodded or not.

"Battalion commander, the devil rushed to the position of the third company." Li Wenguang's shouts came from afar, which suddenly woke up the dejected stone, and after he glanced at his sister-in-law who was safe and sound, he grabbed the rifle on the side and rushed towards the place where Li Wenguang was.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a dense burst of gunfire from the hill on the flank, the devil's attack was far faster than they imagined, and they launched a tidal attack without giving them any time to react, and after the stone detoured to the flank of the hillside, his face suddenly tightened, in addition to the patches of earthy yellow waves were surging towards the position of the third company, there was also a group of Japanese troops in the distance who were ready to go, judging from the strength of the Japanese army, their numbers were not at all what they could contend with, just a glance, The stone can predict that the strength of the devil to attack is definitely not less than a squadron.

Li Wenguang, who was on the side, obviously also saw the situation there, and immediately asked anxiously: "Battalion commander, what should I do?" Company Commander Gao, they may not be able to withstand it? Do you want me to transfer the reserves? ”

The stone looked back at the front end of the position, after the shelling, the Japanese army under the mountain did not move, and I didn't know what the enemy's idea was, but looking at the corpses left at the front of the position and the Japanese army in strict formation, the stone dispelled the idea of sending reinforcements, one or two squads passed, it was really a drop in the bucket, but it would weaken their defense here, if even they were captured by the devils, the fight for a day and night last day would be all in vain.

"Monkey, send someone to tell Gao Sledgehammer that the position of the third company can be defended, and if it can't be defended, it will be withdrawn to us, as long as you hold this road under the mountain, it is equivalent to blocking the devil's road to Dangshan, as long as we wait for reinforcements to come, our task will be completed." After Shi Shi was silent for a long time, he waved his hand resolutely and said, the resolute expression on his face did not have the restraint and uneasiness he had when facing Wang Qianqian before.
