Section XXXVIII

The 305th Regiment was blocked by the Japanese army outside the Inner Yellow City, and seemed to vent all their anger on the defenders of Mawangzhai, after receiving the order of the division headquarters to rush to the aid of the friendly troops, they did not stop for a moment and rushed towards the target under the command of the regiment commander.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, did not hesitate to divide the troops into waves of attack waves as a company.

Although the village on the mountain is not small, it is not too big, especially the mountain road is difficult to walk, the Japanese army is not supplemented by heavy artillery, only the two mortars are also in the front of the onslaught when the shells are exhausted, in the face of this kind of tidal wave of continuous impact of the offensive, the Japanese army is desperate, their performance is no different from the soldiers of the national army on the Songhu battlefield, the dense enemy is endless and inexhaustible, after defeating the two waves of the offive, it is the follow-up weakness can no longer resist the attack under the mountain.

Mawangzhai, a precipitous place with Neihuang as horns, is also under the control of the national army.

Shi didn't know this, and at this moment he sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the blue sky and white sun flags fluttering at the head of the city, not knowing what he was thinking.

Another bloody battle is over, except for the small wave of people who have withdrawn from the city, the rest of the people have died under their guns, and there are naturally not many prisoners, where are the red-eyed beards, Zhao Xinyi and others willing to give the devils a way to live, that is, in the face of the devils who have laid down their weapons, the bayonets and broadswords in their hands are also ruthlessly and frantically chopped, which makes the desperate Japanese army can only fight back, although there is no way to live, but always want to pull another cushion before dying, in this case, Their casualties were also quite high, making the final battle even more bloody.

Hundreds more brothers fell, and the familiar and unfamiliar faces would gradually dissipate in their memories, and the joy of winning the battle seemed a little insignificant against the backdrop of the corpses, and he was still alive, still struggling in such a world where he did not know where the end was.

"Battalion commander, why are you sitting here alone, the regimental seat is looking for you everywhere." Li Wenguang's voice came from the side, and the kid's tone was full of joy, far less sad and heavy than a stone.

Stone was awakened by his words, and couldn't help but let out a long breath to relieve the inexplicable anguish in his heart.

Although Li Wenguang usually looks like he is not normal, he is actually very careful, and immediately stared at the stone carefully and asked, "Battalion commander, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Stone shook his head and asked unexpectedly, "Monkey, are you homesick?" ”

This kind of inexplicable words suddenly made Li Wenguang a little confused, and he couldn't help but stare at the stone again, as if he wanted to see what was wrong with the battalion commander, but the face of the stone was full of Mu Ran, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality, which made him reluctantly give up such a plan, and said with some shame: "Home? Where is there a home! A few years ago, there was a famine, and the heads of the family walked and scattered, and everyone died. ”

Stone frowned and asked, "Then do you miss your parents?" ”

These words obviously touched the sore spot in Li Wenguang's heart, so that his previous excited expression was replaced by endless loneliness, I saw the corners of his mouth twitch, and said gloomily: "I think, sometimes I can dream of my father, I dream that my father sits in front of the house and smokes sweat cigarettes, and I dream that my mother sews shoes for me under the lamp, the light is too dim, my mother's eyes can't see clearly, she always pierces her fingers, a pair of shoes are sewn, and the soles of the shoes are stained red with blood, and I am reluctant to wear those shoes, and I run outside barefoot all day long, so I am not less beaten." ”

While speaking quietly, Li Wenguang's expression was also dazed, and the tense expression on his face gradually relaxed, but soon, that deep pain appeared on his face, only to hear him say self-deprecatingly: "What's the use of thinking, I can't see my father and mother anymore." ”

The stone's head lowered, and a face that appeared in his mind a long time ago couldn't help but emerge, it was a face that had only been out once, but it was a face that the stone would never forget, and it seemed to be looking at him with a thick smile at the moment, and those big eyes gave people an incomparably friendly feeling, which made the stone's empty heart immediately feel warm, "Dad, mother, where are you!" This cry involuntarily sounded in the heart of the stone, the warmth was short-lived, and the endless confusion occupied all his thoughts after this, and it also made him more and more painful, countless Pao Ze brothers around him died, no one knew when he would be martyred like those brothers, and he still can't remember everything in the past, can't remember where he came from, where his relatives are.

The two of them were silent in pain like this, and it was not until Yu Longting, the squad leader of the battalion headquarters, arrived that they woke up the two.

"Battalion commander, why are you still here, the staff officer of the regiment headquarters has been looking for you for a long time." Yu Longting looked at Company Commander Li, who was supposed to come to call people, sitting there without saying a word at the moment, and his mind was suddenly full of questions, but he couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, and took the lead in reminding him according to the difference of priority.

Li Wenguang on the side was also startled by this voice, and immediately came back to his senses, and when he looked at the battalion commander on the side, he found that he was still sitting lonely, as if nothing had anything to do with him.

"Battalion commander, it's better to go and take a look, in case the division commander comes to assign a task, your regiment can't be attached, but it will cause * annoyance." Seeing him like this, Li Wenguang immediately reminded him on the side.

As soon as he heard this, Shi Shi was also startled, he couldn't help but think of the division commander Wang Yaowu, who had a serious expression that made people unable to see the depths, and thought of Zhou Zhidao, who looked approachable, but was very uneasy, if it was really the division commander and brigade commander arrived, it would be a big deal, although he was fearless in the face of the devil, but somehow, when facing the two, he was extremely cautious.

"Monkey, go tell the madman, gather the troops immediately after taking care of the wounded, and tell Lao Zhou to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, whether it is weapons and ammunition or the steel helmet and leather boots on the devil's body, everything you can eat and take must be collected for later use." The stone that came back to his senses, when he came to his senses, shouted and looked at Li Wenguang and nodded, he followed Yu Longting and left quickly.

The temporary regimental headquarters of the 302nd Regiment is under the city gate in the north of Inner Huangcheng, which was originally supposed to be a private house, after the Japanese occupation was to strengthen the surroundings with sandbags, cut off the street barricades into a narrow passage, plus machine gun guards, it is really extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and after conquering here, because other friendly troops did not enter the city, Ji Hongru naturally occupied this place has been used.

There was no figure of Wang Yaowu and others in the regiment headquarters, except for the communication soldiers and a few staff officers, there were familiar faces, chief of staff Lin Xiufeng, second battalion commander Hu Zi, and third battalion commander Qu Yuben all gathered together at this moment, and when they saw the stones that entered the courtyard from outside, they immediately greeted each other with smiling faces.

"Shi Tuanfu, you are a big official, and the shelf is a lot bigger, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Hu Liqun maintained his usual grinning style, and the previous bloody battle didn't seem to bring him any changes, looking at his expression, there seemed to be some faint excitement in it.

Seeing that he also had a headache, Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Hu, this is a joke on me, I rushed over after I got the order, in front of all the brothers, where is my share in putting up a fight." ”

Ji Hongru relieved him and said: "The battle has just ended, and many things are inevitable, Hu Liqun, don't joke with stones, you don't know that he is thin-skinned." After that, he glanced at the stone and said with concern: "Stone, your face is ugly, you are not injured, right?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'm not hurt." Stone hurriedly said gratefully.

Ji Hongru nodded and responded: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, in addition, I want to say to you, you are now attached to the regiment, your identity is different, and the role you need to play is not the same, although charging forward can improve the morale of your subordinates, but it is also easy to be injured, the snake can't do without a head, the bird can't fly without a head, if something goes wrong, it will be related to the action of your entire battalion, sitting in the middle army and commanding a battalion to fight is what you should do now, in the future, this dangerous thing, unless you have to do it, don't force it." , your first battalion and several other company commanders are all good at fighting tough battles, so it is also appropriate to let them take a little more responsibility. ”

Shi grinned bitterly and said, "I must keep in mind the teachings of the group. ”

The commander of the third battalion, Qu Yuben, made a rare joke and said: "Tuanzao, I see that the regiment is tired, and the first battalion has suffered a lot of losses in the lead this time, I see, the next battle will be handed over to our third battalion, so that the tired brothers of the first battalion and the second battalion can have a good rest." ”

"Another order?" Shi Shi was shocked when he heard this, and asked.

Chief of Staff Lin Xiufeng suddenly explained: "The regiment doesn't know yet, I just received news that the 305th Regiment has conquered Mawangzhai with the friendly 88th Division, and the division headquarters has ordered to continue to pursue the enemy who fled to the area of Guji and Shuangtaji, and do not give them any time to breathe. ”
