Section XXXVIII
Section 38 [Happy Dragon Boat Festival, Friends]
The south is full of waterways and rivers, and the village is built close to the river, not to mention the convenience of life. The same is true of Shenjingtang, a small village that has been almost wiped out, from east to west, it is backed by an unknown river, the river surface is not wide, it should be twenty or thirty meters large, there is a stone bridge on the river, it is the only hub that can lead to both sides of the river, controlling this bridge is equivalent to holding the throat of this river, and there is no other way to pass in the range of more than ten miles nearby.
In the case of relying on the river, the solidity of the position is much stronger than usual, and the experience of fighting in the Xiaoliu River has made the people of the first battalion have deeply felt, however, now the position of the first battalion does not have any idea of placing it on the west bank of the river, and the stone bridge like a throat is only left on the west bank to guard, I don't know if it is because the order of the regiment headquarters is to let them defend Shen Jingtang or in the dilapidated village, the presentation of the greatest scene of maternal love has aroused the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts, Let them want to fight to the death with the devil in person.
After leaving the 1st Company and the Machine Gun Company to build a position in the dilapidated village, Zheng Pusheng took the 2nd and 3rd Companies all the way to the west, looking for a more defensible location. What made the soldiers of the first battalion a little happy was that in a place less than Erhuali, there was another river Hengdan in front of them, and there were many rivers in the south, which was vividly displayed at this moment.
This is a river channel smaller than the river west of Shenjingtang, not counting the slope of the embankment on both banks, only the distance of the river surface, but it is only seven or eight meters, which makes people seem to have little resistance, looking at a wooden bridge hanging high on the river in front of him, Zheng Pusheng stood on the west bank of the river and stopped, looking at a village on the east bank from a distance, its overall pattern, and the Shenjingtang village that passed through before is almost no different.
At this moment, there is a layer of smoke floating above the village, it looks like a big fire from a distance, you don't need to look closely, you can know at a glance with their experience, it is another village that has been bombed by devils, thinking of this, Zheng Pusheng clenched his fists fiercely, the little devil of the dog day now seems to be crazy, he blows up when he sees the village, and shoots when he sees people, its ferocity, where is what people can do, complete animal behavior.
"Let's just guard this bridge and guard this river, if there are many devils at that time, we will blow up the bridge, even if we can't stop them from crossing the river, we have to buy enough time for the company!" Zheng Pusheng pointed to the wooden bridge in front of him and said, his face was full of fierce looks, in the face of such an enemy, he could be regarded as doing everything.
Looking at the village on the opposite bank with thick smoke, the second company frowned and said: "Battalion commander, I don't know if there are any living people in the village on the other side, can you send a platoon over and set up a sniper position on the other bank, if there is any emergency, it can also play a role in delaying and blocking." ”
Zheng Pusheng looked around, dozens of brothers, they were already busy at the moment, they didn't know when the devil would kill them, and they were fighting for all the time they could buy at the moment, digging trenches along the field stalks on the west bank, and the layers of soil that had been lifted were piled up, lined up along the field stalks, and gradually formed the prototype of the trenches.
After thinking about it, Zheng Pusheng gave up the idea of dividing part of the troops to set up a sniper position on the other side, at this moment the army retreated on the whole line, and the Japanese army pursued and fought fiercely all the way, it is said that the 58th Division, which belongs to the same army as them, has exchanged fire with the devils at the Beixinjing and Bazi Bridge not far from the east at this moment, and the battle line may be pushed to them at any time.
Shaking his head, Zheng Pusheng denied the idea of Erlian, turned to the stone and said, "Shi, you take a few brothers to the other side to investigate the situation, remember, don't run too far, the devil may rush here at any time." ”
Stone is in a very bad mood at the moment, it doesn't seem to have any mood to speak, after hearing Zheng Pusheng's order, he just nodded, and glanced at Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang, Lao Meng, Zhu and others on the side understood it, and knew the arrangement of the stone, among the dozen people in the third company, even if the three of them were the best, the work of this kind of team investigation basically had Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang's share, and naturally there was no opinion on the arrangement of the stone.
The stone walked briskly onto the wooden bridge, "Knock knock...... The chaotic footsteps of "dong dong" came out, like a heavy drum of the march, and there was a faint sense of tragedy that the strong man would never return.
Three people, holding three Japanese-style 38 rifles cautiously groping forward, long bayonets, exuding a cold glow at the front end of the rifle, the people holding the rifle back to back, each other are horns, the finished glyph forward, the stone is the arrow at the front, his slightly narrowed eyes scanned around, and the rifle in his hand also swung at random with the movement of his eyes, the dark muzzle gives people a great sense of depression, it seems that a deadly bullet may fly out at any time, and the bayonet at the front end of the muzzle, Stained with a trace of ash, it swayed around, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.
The village was like Shen Jingtang, and the huge bomb craters that could be seen at random echoed with the collapsed houses on the side, showing endless grief. A thick scorching smell wafted around, blending with the smoke, extremely pungent, making the three of them frown tightly.
As they moved forward slowly, time passed quickly, and in this extremely tense picture, the only thing that made them breathe a sigh of relief was that they did not see the corpses of the villagers, as if all the people in the village had been evacuated before the bombing, and this kind of discovery was a great luck in misfortune.
At this moment, Liu Wenfeng, who was advancing on the side, stopped, and gently touched the stone beside him with *, this small movement was silent, without any sound, but it made the stone shake all over, and the hairs stood upside down, what happened?
The two of them instinctively squatted down, and Li Wenguang on the side seemed to feel the movement of the stone in front of him, and he also squatted down very quickly.
Liu Wenfeng picked up his rifle and pointed at him with the tip of the gun, it was a house that had been blown up, the wall to them had collapsed, and the roof had also fallen, and the layout of this house could be clearly seen at a glance, with bedrooms on the left and right sides, and a spacious living room in the middle.
However, other than that, the stone was not found, and his eyes carefully scanned the debris pile, and he was sure that he had found nothing unusual, which made him look at Liu Wenfeng hesitantly. I saw that the young second platoon commander was shaking his head at the stone, the bayonet at the front of the rifle was raised upward, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to his helmet.
This kind of serial action means something, and it is not difficult to guess in this particular situation, and the stone has a surprised expression on his face, and he says the word "devil" in his mouth, but he does not make a sound, but just squirms his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wenfeng nodded seriously, and also nodded at the stone, indicating the direction.
Stone was surprised, he had no doubt about the situation described by Liu Wenfeng, but he was surprised by the speed of the devil's advance, before the battalion commander Zheng also said that the brothers of the 58th Division were fighting fiercely with the devil's vanguard in the area of Beixinjing and Bazi Bridge, however, the discovery at this moment has completely overturned this statement, the devil not only fought fiercely with the 58th Division in front, but also a squad has killed the side and back of the friendly army, that is, where they are now, once the devil has two or three squadrons detour, the consequences are really unimaginable, The friendly forces blocking the enemy in front, once they can't break through the blockade in time and eat the devils behind, they will be completely surrounded in the small space in front.
Thinking of this, the stone did not dare to hesitate or delay in the slightest, and decisively pointed to the place where they came, and then patted the body of the gun. Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang on the side understood, the two glanced at each other, and then nodded, and when they bowed and returned the same way, the rifle in their hands tightened.
The stones, on the other hand, rushed in the opposite direction as they moved, and soon approached several of the crumbling houses, and did not care about the walls that might collapse, and walked quickly to the other side, and disappeared into the ruins in the blink of an eye.
And just when the figure of the stone disappeared a few breaths, Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang had almost retreated to the place where they had entered this village before, and they could even hear the sound of the second company brothers who were busy building positions on the other side of the bank.
The other side was tense, Zheng Pusheng personally lay on the trench that had not yet been completed, and the gun pointed at the opposite bank, and then they were stunned to find that Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang did not convey the message to them at all, the two figures walked around one after the other, one held a gun, and the other took out a *, at the corner of a house, the man with the gun in front did not hesitate to fire, and the crisp sound of the gun suddenly made the hearts of everyone around tighten, and at the same time, the * in the hand of the person behind him * He also flew towards the village without hesitation.
"Boom" exploded, countless debris and rotten wood shot out in the air, several already broken walls also collapsed, and the dust around them was as amazing as a cloud and mist.
