Section XXIII

The sparse sound of gunfire seemed to ignite the fuses connected to each other, and after two consecutive shots of the stones, the fields that were separated by the north and south of the Xiaoliu River suddenly became lively, and the continuous cannonballs flew in all directions without the slightest gap, and the mournful whistling sound accompanied by the dull blasting sound repelled everyone's noise and occupied everyone's ears.

A plume of smoke fused with the dust flying around, forming a trail of gray smoke floating in the air, making people feel that the sky was a little dark.

The two figures jumped around under the cover of artillery fire, fortunately, Shi and Liu Wenfeng's reaction was fast enough, and their skills were agile enough, otherwise at the beginning of the devil's attack, they would have collapsed the frieze, and after escaping the range covered by the artillery fire, the two of them felt a wave of fear of attacking, and their body bones began to soften a little, fortunately they ran fast, fortunately, the devil's first shell missed a little, otherwise, I'm afraid that at this moment, the two of them will even have their bodies gone, see the section of the straggler trench where they stayed before, At this moment, they had disappeared, hiding in a trench about thirty paces away, and the two of them suddenly looked at each other with palpitations.

"Those little devils just relied on the platoon commander's two gunshots to target our location? The cannonball seems to have drawn an arc through the sky! Liu Wenfeng said in horror and inexplicably, for the Japanese artillery that he had scoffed at before, he could now be regarded as really seeing how powerful it was.

The stone shrank in the trench and rubbed his right leg, just in the panic, his knee hit a piece of gravel, until he left the range covered by the artillery fire, he had the opportunity to deal with the wound, hearing Liu Wenfeng's voice, he frowned and thought about it, and then said: "At the high point, there must be the devil's observer, the fire after the shot just now, let the devil judge the coordinates, coupled with the scattering of the previous devil, the points in this area have been marked, according to the observed position to fire, can have such accuracy, It's normal. ”

Liu Wenfeng opened his mouth wide and looked at the stone, his frightened expression turned into surprise, and then asked in an incredible tone: "Platoon commander, how do you know so clearly?" Have you played with cannons? ”

Shi smiled bitterly: "Maybe I used to be an artilleryman?" Otherwise, how could I remember this nonsense in my head! ”

Liu Wenfeng was silent for a moment, obviously knowing that it would be useless to ask again, he secretly glanced at the other side of the river, he said with a wry smile: "Platoon commander, how can this battle be fought like this?" As soon as we are about to shoot, the devil's shell will fall on the brain, and next time we may not have the good luck we just had. ”

"That's not necessarily, the devil can come up with this way, of course we also have a trick to crack it, doesn't the battalion commander often say that the soldiers will block it, and the water will flood?" The stone rubbed his knee and said affirmatively.

Hearing that there was a way to crack it, Liu Wenfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's good if there is a way, it's good if there is a way, otherwise there is really no way to fight this battle." As he spoke, he glanced at the other side of the river with palpitations, and this instinctive action suddenly made him tense, and said in a hurried tone: "Platoon commander, the devil is coming up again." ”

The stone no longer had the previous nervousness at this time, and the devil's powerful offensive did startle him at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, he figured out the key to it, and when he heard the devil coming up again, he felt a sense of excitement, and opened his mouth and shouted: "It's good to come!" These little devils really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin. ”

"Crazy, you take the brothers of the 3rd squad to retreat and vacate the position in front." The stone shouted, and without waiting for Liu Wenfeng to agree, he rushed towards the place where he had just stayed.

The previous flat ground has completely changed its appearance at this moment, the straggler trench where they stayed before is gone, and even the original traces have been removed, and what appears in the eye of the stone at this moment is a charred black earth and a huge crater, and even a few steps away, you can smell the pungent * smell.

The fragments of shells that can be seen everywhere show the fierceness of the previous Japanese artillery attacks. Ignoring this, the stone shrank back into the crater, staring intently at the other side of the river, and by the swaying of the reeds, he could vaguely see the Japanese army carefully touching it again, and the corner of the stone's mouth suddenly showed a strange smile, if anyone saw it, there would definitely be a shuddering feeling.

On the hillside thirty or forty zhang away behind the stone, Xiao Shandong watched the familiar figure return to the crater, and immediately asked Lao Meng beside him in confusion: "Uncle Meng, what does Brother Shi want to do?" The three squad leaders and the people have all withdrawn, why did he stay there alone. ”

Lao Meng was lying on the hillside, under the cover of the trees beside him, he observed the distance without any scruples, and when he heard Xiao Shandong's voice, he shook his head and said: "The stone is different from us, Staff Officer Zhang They are right, when the stone has not lost his memory, he must be a very capable person, have you found it, the stone usually looks like an idiot, but once he goes to the battlefield and fights with the devil, it is completely like a different person, to be honest, I am also a person who has lived for most of my life, I really haven't seen anyone as fierce as the stone, when we face these little devils, often two fight one, or three fight one to win, but the stone fights with the devil, it is as easy as killing a chicken, and his marksmanship, his reaction at the moment of danger, tsk, I really don't know how he is so old, how did he practice this ability, only about 20 years old. ”

Xiao Shandong pouted and said, "Uncle Meng, I didn't ask these questions. ”

Lao Meng turned around and scolded with a smile: "Since the stone is doing this, then there is a reason for him, we are old and young, how can we guess what these people think." ”

Xiao Shandong watched the stone retract into the crater and then became motionless, worshipping his steady demeanor more and more, and asked with a grin: "Uncle Meng, who do you say is the best brother Shi or Staff Officer Zhang?" ”

"Logically speaking, it must be Staff Officer Zhang's ability, I heard that Staff Officer Zhang became the commander of the 305th Regiment, the colonel commander, it seems that he is less than 40 years old, this is not comparable to ordinary people, but then again, the stone head is broken, and there is such a can't see through the ability, if this head is cured, then no one can say, the most important point is that the stone is young, and now he is the lieutenant deputy company commander, even if the head is not healed, with the ability of the stone, he has won a few battles, Say that it will rise, but it will also rise. Lao Meng said, but also looked at the stone with complicated emotions, this "idiot platoon leader" in other people's mouths is not an ordinary person, as a person who has stayed together since the stone woke up, Lao Meng has seen too many surprising things on the stone's body, to be honest, even they are interested in the identity of the stone, what kind of person was this kid before.

Just as Lao Meng and Xiao Shandong were chatting and paying attention to the movement of the stones in front of them, several figures in the distance ran towards their platoon positions, Xiao Shandong took a look, and said to Lao Meng: "The company commander is here." ”

Lao Meng nodded, picked up the gun and greeted him, although the little devil's artillery may bombard at any time, but the commander is here, and it is not a good thing to shrink into the position.

"Old Meng, how's the situation?" Zhou Yuan saw Lao Meng coming up, and he didn't have any polite words, so he directly asked about the battle situation.

"Company commander, after the devil came, he kept bombarding our position, and the infantry had a tentative attack, but was pressed back by two shots from the stone." Lao Meng truthfully explained what happened before to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan listened strangely, and asked puzzledly: "The stone shot the devil back with two shots?" What's going on? ”

"That's what we saw here, the stone shot and killed the two devils, and then the devil's artillery fired a wave of retaliation, and now seeing that the devils are coming up again, the stone simply let the people of the third class retreat." Lao Meng replied seriously.

Zhou Yuan was taken aback and said, "The stone is alone in front?" ”

Lao Meng didn't know what to say, but fortunately, the company commander came quickly, and after saying a few words, everyone had already come to the small hillside, and Zhou Yuan was in the position of a group, and his eyes naturally fell on the stone in the distance in front. At a distance of about a hundred paces, the body of the stone appears small, but it is in stark contrast to the pitch-black earth around it, and every move can be seen realistically.

Sure enough, there was no one else in the four corners, and after Zhou Yuan swept it, his eyes fell on the vicinity of the stone again, and then his face changed, and he noticed that the area where the stone was located was densely packed with traces left by the explosion of the cannonball, and the dilapidated appearance of the pockmarked place made Zhou Yuan, an experienced officer, know very clearly what he had experienced before.

"This kid is too bold, the devil is clearing the fortress with artillery fire, and those who touch it are bait." Zhou Yuan scolded anxiously, and was extremely worried about the current situation of the stone at the moment.

"Brother Shi has already dodged once." Xiao Shandong muttered on the side.

"The devil has come to the same place where he last stopped." Lao Meng's voice raised a lot in vain, the situation in the distance was far away, and it was not clear, but there happened to be a field stalk there, so that they could remember the distance between each other and use it as a reference.

Everyone held their breath when they heard Lao Meng's voice, the last time the stone was fired after the devil stepped over the field stalk, will this be the case this time?
