Section 54

Saihong Bridge is also known as "Saigong Bridge", located in the Changhong Road in the southwest direction outside Jiqing Gate, was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that it was built by Ying Tianfu, but there is a folk legend that it was built by the daughter-in-law of Shen Wansan, a huge rich man in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, it is a three-arch big stone bridge, about 50 steps wide, the pier of the water-dividing bridge is more than 60 meters long, the arch arrow is nearly 9 meters high, it spans a tributary of the Qinhuai River outside the city, and is the throat of entering and exiting Jiqing Gate.

Because of this, this originally extremely lively town has been fully transformed at this moment, not only the personnel have been evacuated, the neat streets have also been cut into pieces, almost every step has a barrier, every inch of land has people waiting, although from the faces of the soldiers can be seen deep worry and inner unease, but this kind of solemn momentum and countless crowded heads, can finally make people feel a lot of peace.

Xiao Shandong leaned against a broken wall, drooping his head, a tattered steel helmet covered it, covering his entire face, and the big hands that were frozen and cracked were also retracted into the sleeves at this moment, and the whole person was wrapped tightly like a zongzi.

Beside him, several unfamiliar faces looked around from time to time, although the military uniforms on their bodies looked dusty and quite shabby, but compared to Xiao Shandong and others, they were several times better, and they could tell at a glance that this was a new Ding who had just been added to the Third Company.

The "boom" cannon sound came from a distance, making people feel that the enemy seemed to be approaching, and the dangerous atmosphere made them feel a sense of restlessness, and looking around became everyone's instinctive move, but after watching it for a long time, there was no movement, and finally they were slightly relieved and calmed down a little.

After a while, they turned their attention to this low and sleeping squad leader, with a thin and thin body, a blue and white face that seemed to be malnourished, and a childish face, giving people a rather youthful and immature feeling, but the rank on his collar and the name tag on his chest clearly told them that the thin half-grown child in front of him was their squad leader.

As soon as they thought of this, a few people on the side had a feeling of fear and fear, they were going to follow such a half-old child behind the charge, it was terrifying to think about, they were already restless, they suddenly became even more desperate, looked at each other, and found that these brothers were all pale, obviously they all had similar ideas, but in such a situation, they did not dare to speak, and they were even more depressed and uncomfortable.

"Little Shandong, Little Shandong?" Several shouts broke the silence from outside.

A few people suddenly had a familiar feeling in their hearts when they heard this title, but they couldn't remember it all of a sudden, and looked at the squad leader who still had no movement, and was suddenly shocked, it seemed that the platoon commander had called them squad leader that, could it be that someone was looking for the squad leader?

At this time, the people outside didn't seem to get a response, and suddenly their voices rang out again: "Where is the second squad leader Xiao Shandong?" ”

Hearing these words, they immediately affirmed their previous thoughts, and suddenly an older man got up late and moved to Xiao Shandong's side, pulled his clothes and shouted, "That, Ban...... Squad leader, it seems that someone outside is shouting......"

"Who?" Xiao Shandong, who was asleep, was awakened, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his right hand in his sleeve did not know when it had touched his waist, and then he saw a cold light crossing the air, and when the veteran on the side did not react at all, a blood-stained bayonet had already slashed at the head.

Where did the veteran who woke up Xiao Shandong experience such a scene, and he was suddenly frightened "Ouch mom" and was about to retreat with a scream, but his reaction and movements could not compare to this lightning-like speed, his face turned white all of a sudden, and the whole person lost his sense as if he was electrocuted.

This shout seemed to wake up Xiao Shandong completely, and the bayonet that was cut off also stopped in vain, this series of actions was like lightning, almost when everyone did not react to what happened, it was found that the squad leader's bayonet had been put on the body of another person, this situation suddenly made everyone gasp, if it was both friend and foe, but it was to be separated from life and death, and what made them shocked was that the brothers who were usually quite good at work, In the face of this shabby-looking half-grown child, there is no resistance at all.

"Xiao Shandong, where the fuck is the death?" The people outside shouted a few times but didn't get a response, obviously a little impatient, and immediately scolded.

Xiao Shandong hurriedly responded, then humbly withdrew the bayonet, and said embarrassedly: "That, I'm a little too nervous, next time I'll shout at a few steps, it's too dangerous!" After that, he told him, "I'll go out and see the situation, and you stay here and don't run around." After saying that, he didn't care about the pale faces of the people, got up and rushed out with a rifle.

"Brother Zhao, are you okay?" Seeing the squad leader leaving, a concerned voice came from the corner for a long time.

The guy who was slashed by Xiao Shandong's knife couldn't help but shake the muscles on his face twice, and then shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Our little squad leader, this skill is really neat, I can almost explain it." ”

Another person said: "I heard that they fought all the way from Shanghai to here, and they have fought dozens of battles with devils, and those who can survive until now are really not ordinary people." ”

These words suddenly made everyone nod their heads in deep understanding, after seeing the power of the squad leader with their own eyes, the previous curse mood disappeared a lot, and they were quite looking forward to these dirty and smelly elder brothers.

Xiao Shandong, who had been carved out, had already followed the stone out of the Saihongqiao defense area, and Li Wenguang, who had called him before, followed him at a trot all the way after calling him out, which became the current situation, but when they saw the Zheng battalion commander with a cloudy look in front of them, they closed their mouths in interest.

Walking briskly when the pillar incense was taken, they saw the tall city wall, which surprised the unknown Xiao Shandong and the others, looking at this aspect, it seemed that they were going to enter the city? But didn't it say that the whole city is under martial law now, and it is no longer allowed to enter or leave? Could it be that something is going on?

Thinking in this way, when they had not yet stepped on the wooden bridge at a distance, someone from a distance greeted them and shouted: "Stop, which army?" What are you doing here? ”

Zheng Pusheng stopped his steps, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, but his vision was blocked by something, and he didn't gain anything, which made his face more and more gloomy, and he frowned and replied: "I am Zheng Pusheng, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 151st Regiment of the 302nd Regiment of the 151st Brigade, and our regiment seat said that there are my acquaintances here in your department?" ”

"Is it Zheng Pusheng, Camp Commander Zheng? It's coming so soon! That's the case, someone is looking for you at the city gate, and our group heard that your regiment had withdrawn to the Saihongqiao in front in the morning, so we asked Camp Commander Zheng to come and have a look. An officer who looked like a second lieutenant platoon commander among the sentries immediately saluted and said respectfully after seeing Zheng Pusheng, no matter what, the officer in front of him is a major, even if it is not the same unit, the necessary respect is still necessary.

Zheng Pusheng returned the salute and didn't say anything, but the expression on his face became more and more solemn. And the stone on the side was also suspicious, he had been with the battalion commander for so long, but he really hadn't heard that the battalion commander had acquaintances and relatives in the capital, who would be looking for him at this time? Don't......

Shi Nian suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts, a tall figure, curvy and beautiful woman with white skin as clear as beautiful jade suddenly appeared in his mind, although he only saw this beautiful woman in a hurry, but the name that Camp Commander Zheng had been on his lips since Songhu made Shi familiar like thunder, and then thought of the current situation, Shi couldn't help but shudder, could it be her?

The stone's suspicion soon became a bitter sigh in his heart, because after crossing the wooden bridge, he saw the crowded crowd at the city gate from a distance, and beside the city gate on the side of the blockade line, there were two shadows looking at them from time to time, who else was Wang Qianqian and Chen Yuwen who had not been seen in the central hospital?

The two women seemed to see them as well, and immediately waved their hands, and a handkerchief-like thing in their hands was quite eye-catching.

Shi seemed to faintly hear Zheng Pusheng's sigh at this time, and after being stunned for a while, he shook his head helplessly, how could these two people come here? Listening to what the second lieutenant said earlier, it seemed that they knew that the battalion commander had arrived in Saihongqiao, but after thinking about it, he was also relieved, the central hospital was a place that only senior officers were qualified to go to, and it didn't seem to be difficult to inquire about a little news.

The trouble is, why do the two of them still have the heart to come here at this time? The devil is going to fight to the edge of the city!

"Is it Camp Commander Zheng? This girl said that it was your wife, and she wanted to go out of the city to find a husband, and according to the regulations, the city gate was blocked and she was not allowed to enter or exit, but the brothers were desperate with the devil in front, and we didn't want to be unkind. An officer who looked like a major walked out of the heavy machine gun position at the city gate at this time, and said quite politely, and at the same time looked at Zheng Pusheng's gaze was also quite complicated, obviously quite envious of this colleague's "Yanfu".

Looking at the slightly haggard face of his sweetheart not far away with a happy smile at the moment, Zheng Pusheng felt sour in his heart, and said gratefully to the major in front of him: "Thank you so much for the care of the officers and commanders of your regiment, and I can still see my insiders alive, Zheng is grateful." ”

"Haha, I also work for the party-state, why be so polite about this little thing, Camp Commander Zheng, how to deal with you at will, no, but you have to hurry up, I heard that the battle situation in front is unfavorable!"
