Section 19 [Today's Second Update]

Luodian in the Yuan to Zheng period (1341 ~ 1368) because Luo Sheng opened a shop here to form a bazaar and got its name, Lian Qi River crosses the town, also known as Luoxi. In the early Ming Dynasty, it has become a large town, the first of the seven towns and five cities in Jiading County at that time, and the goods are distributed to cotton and cotton cloth. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there are six or seven hundred shops in the long street of the town, there are pawns, flower shops, rice shops, cloth villages, sauce gardens, tin foil villages and other industries, three cities every day, the market is prosperous, the four towns come to visit, the vehicles and ships are continuous, it is the largest town in the county, and it is called "Jinluo shop". "Sanwan, 9th Street, 18th Lane" has more than 50,000 residents. During the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, "March Twenty-eighth" and other lantern festivals and temple fairs every year, people come from all directions, the sound of fireworks, gongs and drums is endless all night, and the dragon boat race is even more lively.

However, after dawn, Luodian, which appeared in the eyes of the soldiers of the national army, was just a wide area of ruins, and the most striking place was not a forest of shops and lively markets.

Before they could sigh for a long time, the Japanese planes were already roaring into the sky and began another round of wanton bombing.

I don't know if it's because the good luck of the previous days has run out, or because of the small town of Luodian, which is wrapped in death, there has been no injury until now, in the "routine offensive" of the Japanese army in the early morning, it suffered a big blow, Jiao Yuan, who usually doesn't like to talk, was directly killed by a shell, and the thin man Luo Fang also cut off a leg by shrapnel in the explosion, when listening to the whistling of the shell and the painful screams coming from not far away, everyone finally felt that the distance between death and them was not far away, At any time, they will lie in this place forever, like the people they saw last night, and then slowly rot and stink, and disappear completely.

After the Japanese planes wreaked havoc overhead for an hour, it was the Japanese long-range artillery attack, although this offensive was shocking and terrifying, but for the soldiers, it was already like a common thing, and the brothers of the inverted frieze were naturally lost in this continuous explosion, and the living people did not have the slightest time to pity these robes who took the first step, because everyone knew that the next step behind them might be themselves, but it was just the difference between taking the first step and being one step later.

When the Japanese army's early morning offensive ended, there were bursts of fierce gunfire from the northeast of the town, and what made the 3rd Company and others breathe a little sigh of relief was that they did not have to face the enemy's attack for the time being, and there was still a period of time to recuperate.

The iron head lit a paper cigarette, and inserted it into Jiao Yuan's mouth, a mouth full of blood, and soon dyed the last half of the cigarette red, looking like it was really devouring this cigarette, which made them feel a lot of emotion in their hearts, they were still fighting together last night, and in a short period of time, people and ghosts were different, although they knew that this was their end, but they always couldn't stand it in their hearts. After standing stiff for a moment, everyone finally wrapped Jiao Yuan's broken body with a broken mat, and then silently carried it to the back of the town, where the corpses of the fallen soldiers were concentrated.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became solemn because of the death of a brother, and even the iron head, who has always loved to joke, also silently shrank aside at this time and smoked a paper cigarette, Kuroko has been taken to the back of the town by the hygienist, and I heard that it may be sent to the hospital in the rear, which makes them feel somewhat relieved, leaving this battlefield full of artillery fire, and may also let him leave a life.

After Xiao Shandong experienced the bloody scene last night and saw the death in front of him, he seemed to be frightened, he kept holding the rifle in his hand, and shrank beside Lao Meng with an earthy face, and Lao Meng, who kept smoking his pipe, sighed on the side, and patted Xiao Shandong's back with a rough big hand, as if he was comforting him and calming his emotions.

The whole class was silently thinking about their thoughts, except for the stone to draw lines through the bullets with a dagger that he had gotten out of nowhere......

The defense center of the 51st Division is the location of the town of Luodian Town, and now it is the 153rd Brigade that is fighting with the enemy in the northeast of the town, saying that it is a brigade, but in fact it still owes a regiment, and the 305th Regiment in the establishment is still in training, and the only 306th Regiment has fought a bloody battle in Luodian for a day and a night, with large losses, and after some adjustments and supplements, it has reached the forefront under the command of the regiment commander Qiu Weituan, It can also be seen from here that the division commanders trust the 306th Regiment, after all, this regiment is the old team of the 51st Division, and its ability to fight tough battles is second to none in the division.

The east of the town and the friendly army is the 302nd regiment's defense area, the west is the 301st regiment's brothers are stationed, the central area of the town, because the damage is too serious, it is difficult to build a solid defense line, only the Luoxi that crosses the town can be regarded as a battle, now the division directly under the artillery battalion, special service company, search company, engineer company and other directly subordinate troops, is trying to dismantle the nearby houses, seize the time to lay fortifications along the riverbank, so that in the future battle, can have a good battle, of course, The houses on the opposite bank must be completely demolished, in addition to clearing the shooting horizon, it is also impossible to let the devils have a place to rely on.

The exchange of fire in the northeast has been continuing, there is a hillside, which is not very high, but it can also be regarded as a commanding height on the plain of Luodian, and when the enemy and us occupied this place before, they both strengthened the fortifications on it, which made it much easier for the soldiers of the national army who took advantage of the chaos to occupy this place last night. Because of this, from the exchange of fire to the present, their casualties are not large, but the person in charge of transporting the bullets has never rested much, and the number of enemies who want to attack is very large, and the pressure on them is relatively high. But out of sight and out of mind, after the people behind looked at it casually, they didn't have the heart to care about the situation there.

"Get up, copy guys, clear the machine gun position first, it won't be long before you use it." Xu Qiang smashed a cigarette butt to the ground, then got up and shouted loudly to the demoralized group of brothers.

Shi put the swarthy dagger and bullet in his hand into his pocket, and the Type 38 rifle used by the Japanese army on the side also carried it on his back, but when he looked back, he was stunned to find that the others basically did not move, which made him stay there involuntarily.

"Damn, everyone has become an uncle, why, they all treat themselves as stones, ready to fight the devil directly with a bayonet?" When Xu Qiang saw this scene, he was immediately angry, his hands were on his waist, and he said angrily.

"Squad leader, it's been a busy night, let's rest, there are people in front of you, and the devil won't be able to come for a while!" Zhou Wu, the squad leader with a national character face, took a deep breath of the paper cigarette in his hand, leaned on a corner of the wall and said.

"Can't get up?" Xu Qiang said and looked at the people who were coldly reacting, and then sneered: "You all know a fucking fart." Do you know why the Shangguan let the people of the 306th Regiment go to the front? As soon as they heard this, everyone's drooping heads were raised, and they looked at their squad leader in confusion.

"The 306th Regiment has been fighting with the little devils in Luodian before, and now with the direct troops of the brigade headquarters and regimental headquarters, there are at most 2 battalions of troops, let them go up for a while, and then they have to shrink back and guard the town, they are in front of them to delay time, how long do you think they can hold there? Besides, where is this? Luodian, this is located in Taicang, Jiading, Baoshan three counties thoroughfare, the throat of Beijing and Shanghai, the side back of Baoshan and Wusong, if the little devils take here, the line from Wusongkou to Liuhe can all be opened, even a small squad leader like me with a sesame mung bean can see the things, those little devils will not see? Didn't see the momentum from last night's attack? Not only Luodian Town, but even the left and right flanks are coordinated by friendly troops, if it weren't for such a choke point, why do you think the 11th Division in front and the 67th Division in the back are stuck here and not retreat? With just a half-crippled 306 regiment, you want to be safe and sound? It's all fucking dreaming. ”

All the big bosses were suddenly moved, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at the squad leader, but the iron head was surprised at this time and asked: "Squad leader, no, you don't know more words than me, where did you come from this set of things?" It shouldn't have been learned from the company commander, what else is the 'three-county thoroughfare', do you know what this means? ”

Xu Qiang was suddenly furious, rushed up with a kick, pointed at the iron head and scolded: "As far as the fuck knows, this is a word passed down by Staff Officer Zhang, let the brothers not think it's terrible because of a small victory, it's just that you are a bastard, it doesn't matter if the head doesn't grow hair, this brain is full of fucking paste, you can't grow a little bit?" ”

When Tietou saw that the squad leader was angry, he suddenly didn't dare to stiffen his head, flashed to the side, and said with a smile on his face: "Squad leader, squad seat, dissipate your anger, I will grow in, I will grow in now, isn't it just a machine gun position, I can settle it alone." ”

The pillar said skeptically: "Can you make it?" This machine gun position, at least it has to withstand the machine gun fire of the devils, don't take a bunch of rocks to trap me, if there is no machine gun cover, the devils rush up, your head is really made of iron, and you will definitely not be able to carry it. ”

Everyone laughed, and after this commotion, the lifeless atmosphere was finally a lot more relaxed.

And just as everyone was about to start preparing for the fortifications, they heard a long line not far away shouting to them: "Xu *zi, take your people and go with Lao Tzu." ”
