Section XXXVI

After resting in the wilderness outside Qingpu County for a night, Shi and the others did not receive any order to retreat, and in the dark night, the troops who kept coming, and the noisy sounds constantly stimulated their nerves, in this case, they couldn't sleep at all, and the great mental pressure made them in a state of tension all night.

In this way, they lasted until the early morning of the 6th, looking at the gradually brightening sky, the fatigue of a day and a night finally enveloped their whole bodies, making them involuntarily close their eyes, even if there were dense queues all around at the moment, the spectacle of the scene was enough to shock anyone, and there was no attraction to their group of extremely tired people.

In a daze, after about half an hour, a wheelbarrow pushed out of Qingpu County broke the sleeping snoring on the position, I don't know who shouted: "It's time to eat......" Suddenly, countless pairs of worried eyes opened, and in the blank eyes, there was still a trace of expectation.

The stone naturally woke up, and it was only at this time that he could see the situation clearly.

The place where they were located was supposed to be a piece of farmland, and in the distance, a small village could be seen, and to the west, the low city walls of Qingpu County were unmistakably exposed, and a relatively spacious road stretched over, passing in front of them into the distance, and on both sides of the road, sparse and sparse dry trees stood tall, and the branches and leaves swayed, showing the gloom and helplessness of winter. As far as the eye can see, there are countless soldiers of the national army wearing military uniforms and holding weapons like him, these people are sitting or lying, or bowing their heads in contemplation, or looking up to the sky and sighing, their expressions are depressed and contain grief and indignation, their faces full of contradictions are each surrounded by a group, and the unpleasant stench is emitted from all directions, and the smeller is timid.

Shi saw Battalion Commander Zheng who was about a hundred steps away from them, saw the familiar faces of the first and second companies, and naturally saw the people pushing the wheelbarrow towards them, and the cauldron on the wheelbarrow was steaming hot at the moment, which was extremely lethal to those of them who had only eaten a little dry food for a day and a night.

The people of the other troops, the situation should be similar to them, at this moment, many people have already stood up, looked at the steaming pot with their feet, but shouted dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tzu has been running for a day and a night, just fucking drink some porridge to be full?" ”

"It's just, the brothers are fighting with the devil in front with their heads, and you guys are fucking hiding behind and not talking, and you can't even get anything to eat, and you don't want your head anymore?"

……

Bursts of scolding came out from all directions, like a surging flood, finding a gap, rushing away, and in this kind of angry shouting and scolding, a sneer sounded in the distance, "All of them are quite capable?" Why, the little devil let you go to the East, and the brothers in the cooking class didn't prepare a celebration feast? ”

The voice is rich, but at the moment it is said with a hint of banter, which is particularly harsh and special, as soon as this voice comes out, it immediately attracts everyone's attention and makes the surroundings temporarily quiet.

Shi followed the sound to look, but he was stunned to find that the person who spoke he also knew, it was Qiu Weida, the commander of the 306th Regiment who had a hurried glance in Luodian two months ago, at this moment his burly body was standing on the road, quite a brave momentum, a light machine gun in his hand, like an ordinary person holding Hanyang so easily, and around him, a neat group of soldiers gathered, they held guns in their hands, and there were bayonets hanging on the muzzle, and the cold light shining on the blade, It makes people feel a chill all over their bodies.

In this case, you can also see a very neat army, which makes the stone have a great change in the perception of this regiment commander, this regiment commander, at first glance, is the material for fighting a tough battle, at least in this case, this is the only team that still seems to maintain enough vigilance and vigilance, compared to the scattered and crooked units, I don't know how many times stronger.

Qiu Weida strode towards the place where the scolding sounded before, and the soldiers behind him also followed, the ruthless atmosphere of killing and decisiveness was undoubtedly conveyed to everyone, and no one around the shock dared to speak at will.

"Who? Who was messing around here just now? If there is a kind, stand up and say it in front of Lao Tzu! Qiu Weida glanced around, and said in a deep voice, with a murderous face, no one dared to speak out. sneered disdainfully a few times, Qiu Weida saw that there was no one around to make trouble, so he said to the cook pushing the wheelbarrow: "Open the meal, whoever dares to make trouble, you will come to me!" ”

"Alas! Alas! Thank you, Captain, for your help. Several cooks were grateful, and they were overjoyed that what had been a very difficult matter had been solved so smoothly.

This little episode did not delay much time, but for the people who were gradually getting angry, it was undoubtedly like pouring a basin of cold water on their heads, which greatly soothed their irritated and irritable mood, and also made them understand that even if the battle situation was unfavorable at the moment and the troops were already in chaos, at least their 51st Division had not broken up and their combat strength was still there.

Each person has a bowl of porridge to eat, although it is still far from being full, but it is also more or less a cushion for the stomach, recovering some physical strength, and the spirit is also a lot stronger.

After that, it was busy, and the staff officers who came out of the county town one by one kept finding the officers everywhere, talking in whispers, and in an instant, the teams crowded together, under the leadership of the commanders, rushed into the distance, obviously with some new tasks. The successive big movements naturally attracted everyone's attention, and for a while, all kinds of speculations spread around.

Sanlian was naturally no exception, beside the stone, Lao Meng said in a deep voice: "This doesn't look like an evacuation!" In the wrong direction, the 306th Regiment almost completely assembled in the east and west, as if it was going to fight. ”

Shi also nodded suspiciously, the devil's 100,000 reinforcements landed from their flanks and rear, and were quickly outflanking, in this case, the troops were still rushing to the depths, isn't this a clear death? Once the back road is cut off, it will basically be wiped out, what is this doing? Did something unexpected happen, and what changed the tide of the war?

Thinking like this, the stone heart became excited again, could it be that they have not been defeated? Is there any turning point? Could it be that the peaks have some kind of genius to change the situation? Thinking that a person as powerful as Regiment Commander Zhang is now just a regiment commander, and the talents of many brigade commanders, division commanders, and soldiers above must be through the heavens and the earth, Shi felt that this situation was very likely.

Zheng Pusheng ran over at this time, and from a distance, he shouted at the stone: "Stone, how is the situation of your three people?" ”

Shi suddenly came back to his senses from various imaginations, and said excitedly: "Battalion commander, are you going to fight?" In what place? ”

Zheng Pusheng's mental strength was obviously much higher than last night, and he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, just received the order, our battalion immediately rushed to the area around Shenjingtang to set up defenses to cover the flanks of friendly troops. Stone, this time, we have to do a good job of him, play the majesty of our battalion, it's been more than a month, and finally there is no need to retreat! ”

Shi nodded seriously, and at the same time said with a little doubt: "Battalion commander, what about the 100,000 devils in the direction of Jinshanwei?" ”

Zheng Pusheng waved his hand, signaling them to hurry up and act. The stone also understood, nodded at Lao Meng, in the bombardment of last night's early morning, most of their quilts, shovels, clothes, etc., were discarded, and then in the whole day's rush, they had to abandon some again in order to reduce weight, at this moment, except for the military uniforms and guns and ammunition on their bodies, they have nothing else, although there is no excess supplies will bring inconvenience to the continuous battle, but the good thing is that the assembly action, it is more light and faster than usual, In an instant, all the kung fu was overturned, and he walked quickly with the direction of Zheng Pusheng's travel.

The speed at which the first and second companies got the news was obviously faster than that of the stones, and at the same time that they were taking action here, the two companies plus the heavy losses, and the personnel were similar to the three companies, and the machine gun companies were also in action, and the rows of teams were equipped with shabby equipment and gray faces, and they were indeed full of fighting spirit and full of morale, and this extremely abnormal phenomenon was enough to explain the true thoughts in the hearts of the soldiers.

Seeing that the team was moving quickly towards the Shenjingtang area under the command of a company commander, Zheng Pusheng finally had time to chat with the stones on the side, and he didn't know where the battalion commander heard the news, so he said with great certainty: "I heard that the 67th Army in the Northeast has rushed to Songjiang City overnight last night to garrison, if the speed is fast enough, we can rush to the north bank of the Huangpu River to garrison, and drag the tens of thousands of devils' troops, and after the follow-up reinforcements arrive, we still have a chance in this battle." ”

Shi had a vague impression of the location of Songjiang City, Huangpu River and other places, and when he checked the battle map at the battalion commander, he could only see the area map near Luodian, and he was far from being able to understand the entire battle situation. But when I heard that one of the reinforcements rushed to resist the devil's reinforcements, there was also a faint hope in my heart, maybe this battle has not been lost, maybe they still have a chance to win!

Zheng Pusheng was also arrogant at the moment, and shouted loudly: "Go, speed up, rush to the position in half an hour, hurry up and prepare the fortifications, and fight the devil with a fucking heart today!" It's better to die than to retreat! ”
