Chapter 5: Blood and Fire (30)

The darkness was deep, and the darkness shrouded the barracks of the 18th Brigade and the 19th Wing by the railway, and the silence was like death, and the faint moon shadow reflected in the small ditch at the foot of the mountain, reflecting cold ripples. There were no usual lights in the barracks, only a few columns of searchlights occasionally pierced the night sky, like sharp bayonets, but also like sharp swords, pointing out the direction for the artillery team of Xu Ping's squad.

The engineer team finished their work and went home first, their work for half a day was quite hard, not to mention that they couldn't help much in the next battle, and it was useless to stay.

According to the regulations, Xu Ping took a squad of the special service company and sat about 500 meters away from the artillery position, which was a safe distance, and even if there was any mistake in the artillery team, it would not affect here. Although people have a distance, their eyes are always on the artillery squad until the end of the launch, and it is they who are the most dangerous.

The people of the special service company were accustomed to this kind of battle, and there was no tension and fear before the fierce battle, and several soldiers were laughing and laughing, using the whetstones they carried with them to gently sharpen the wrist-untying knives in their hands.

"I should be able to make a market tonight, I drank human blood the night before yesterday, and I waited in vain for half the night last night." Said one of the fighters.

The other said with an envious expression: "The night before yesterday, you were considered to have had a good time killing, and I wronged me, and I played a searchlight on the main sentry in the middle of the night, and I did not come down from it until you all withdrew, and not only did not kill a single person, but I was also blown away by the wind." ”

Several people began to exchange your words and my words to kill the Japanese experience, and finally agreed that the Japanese neck is the most suitable part, the wrist knife in the hand can be cut with a slight stroke, the night before yesterday, the person who can cut the neck and cover the mouth and nose with a quilt at the same time, basically the body is very clean, there is no blood splashed, only a few business is not familiar, will be sprayed by the blood of the Japanese dirty clothes. Some people began to laugh at one of the soldiers, saying that he killed three people, and he was bloody, and he could smell all the fishy smell on the way back to the camp. The soldier who was ridiculed said embarrassedly, dog, I didn't think of covering it with a quilt, I just thought of covering it with my left hand, and my voice was covered, but blood flew all over the ground. Everyone asked him to kill a few more practitioners tonight, and those who were overturned by the poison gas should be easier to kill, and they will not resist.

Hearing the words of the soldiers, Xu Ping was a little uncomfortable, these soldiers are all peasant children in the Yishan Hechi area, before going to the battlefield, they are some ignorant teenagers who have not even killed chickens, and they have grown into executioners who are fun to see blood and kill people as their profession, thanks to the cultivation of the Japanese. The problem is that one day the Japanese will finish killing and no one will kill again, and these soldiers will have a strong sense of loss. In ancient China, some of these types of people became dead soldiers, some became killers, and some became drunkards, living under anesthesia all day long. After the long-haired Shi Zhenji was captured in Yishan, many of his subordinates were scattered in the mountains, and some of the long-haired dead soldiers under Shi Zhenji became the most famous hunters in the local area, and some became the most famous local drunkards. His own three platoon commanders, one platoon long Luo Wei, two platoon long thin monkey Hou Changgui, three platoon leaders are the descendants of the Shi family, called Shi Chong, this person usually speaks little, a spear is elusive, the most terrible thing is that he has a forbearance, in order to hunt, he can lie on the ground for a whole day or even longer. In Shanghai, Jiaxing, Anji, and Lin'an, he shocked the entire spy company with his skill and ruthlessness, and gave himself the nickname Changmao. Today, he is with his own team, Shi Zhong is the most recognized soldier of poison gas warfare, he thinks that this is similar to using lime to make fish in a small river ditch, find a small river, plug the water, and put a basket for fish below, and wash the lime on the top, the fish will go down the water, drill into the basket, and after a while, it will be full of small fish. In his opinion, the gas bomb is lime, and the Japanese devil is a small miscellaneous fish, and vice versa, if the gas bomb is in the hands of the Japanese, Zhang Guangwei is a small miscellaneous fish.

Hearing the soldiers talking about killing, Shi Zhong said: "Killing people, what you need is not technology, it is courage, if you dare to kill, no matter how high the technology is, it is useless, you kid dare to kill yourself with blood, it is a good material, as for technology, you will learn it." ”

"The weather in this place is really strange, it's still so cold in the middle of February in the old calendar, it's almost the spring equinox, and the corn planted early in our side is about to bloom." A soldier said.

Everyone looked at the starry sky, and the last quarter moon had just come out, revealing a crooked crescent moon, and a gust of wind blew, shivering.

I saw a "bang" from the ambush of the artillery squad, and a shell flew into the sky, swept a red line in the sky, and landed in the Japanese barracks, followed by the first and third shots, which were not visible in the night, and the shells were not accurate, and it counted wherever they hit.

The bullet marks in the dark night exposed the position of the mortar, and I saw that in the Japanese position, there was immediately a return fire from the shells, which was * infantry artillery. The artillery squad immediately drilled into the bunker prepared for them by the engineer brothers, and the shells of the infantry guns fell densely on the bunker, making a dull explosion.

"Watch to see if any infantry comes out." Xu Ping said.

"No, I'm watching." The third row of Changshi Shige said that he used a piece of wood to block his eyes, blocking the faint moonlight from his sight, and looked at the Japanese military camp seriously. Xu Ping also picked up a piece of cedar bark and put it on top of his head, and sure enough, the Japanese military camp could see much more clearly, and the lights were bright or dark, and they were in a mess.

The infantry artillery fought for a while, and it was estimated that it was also tired and stopped. The artillery squad immediately pushed the mortar out, re-aligned, and fired another shot at the chaotic enemy camp, and then quickly pulled the mortar down from the gun position, drilled into the hiding hole, and waited for the infantry artillery to strike.

A minute passed, two minutes passed, five minutes passed, and the Japanese infantry artillery did not fire. The artillery squad had fighters poking their heads out of their bunkers.

"The Japanese are on a sortie." Shi Zhong said.

"Prepare gas masks, prepare for battle." Xu Ping gave the order.

At the same time, the artillery squad also took the Red No. 1 poison cartridge in their hands, come on, little Japan, grandpa has good things you like here.

About a squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the barracks to the artillery positions, and they rushed out with hunting dogs, barking.

The distance is not far, two points and a few kilometers, and soon the sound of the Japanese army's big leather shoes running at high speed can be heard touching the ground. "Come closer! Closer! "The artillery squad had never been so close to the enemy, and they trembled with excitement and stuttered.

The Japanese could already be heard talking and panting, and the artillerymen calmly stretched out the Red No. 1 poison cartridge from the mouth of the bunker, opened, and the tasteless and invisible diphenylcyanide gas drifted towards the Japanese troops, followed by the second, third, and fourth cylinders...... When the first sneeze sounded in the night sky, all the Japanese soldiers had the urge to sneeze, and when a sneeze sounded, even the mentally handicapped would know that it was an ambush with poison gas bombs. When the continuous sneezing, tears and vomiting continued around the artillery squad's bunker, Xu Ping knew that it was time to do it himself, and was about to rush out, but was pulled down by Shi Chong, and said: "Just these hundred or ten devils, you don't have to work hard to drive the commander." You just stay here and don't move. "Wearing a pig's head mask, with a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he leaped away.

Suddenly, the southern fourteen pistols immediately resounded over the artillery position, and this time Ishishige did not use a knife, but each Japanese soldier rewarded them with a southern fourteen bullets, so that they could be relieved from their pain and help them meet the great god Amaterasu smoothly. The southern pistol has a large caliber, the power is not weak, and although the firing range is not far, it does not affect the effect of a face-to-face fight, and after a while, all the Japanese troops of a short squadron are reimbursed on the position.

Hearing the 14 bullets from the south in the distance, all the officers and men of the 19th Wing of the 18th Brigade were relieved, thinking that the Japanese troops who went to search had succeeded and finally killed the poison gas bomb launch point. The reorganization of the barracks began.

Shi Zhong and the others, who killed the Japanese army, did not clean up the battlefield, let alone stay on the position longer, but quickly returned to the camp in the woods before, and seeing Xu Ping's inquiring eyes, Shi Zhong took off the pig head shell on his head and said, "No one is left, one person has one bullet." ”

"Why don't you use a knife?" Xu Ping asked.

"It's not lively enough, and I want to give peace to the Japanese." Shi Zhong smiled,

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Xu Ping said: "According to the plan, there will be another attack, and we will leave after the last tea number one is exhausted." ”

When the artillery team saw Shi Chong's men leaving, they immediately crawled out of the bunker, once again aimed at the target, and decided to retreat immediately after launching the last three-shot tea No. 1 in their hands, as for this great mortar, just throw it here!

After firing the three rounds of Cha No. 1, the people of the artillery squad immediately took off the protective clothing on their bodies, then put the protective clothing on their backs, and walked away lightly. When he came to Xu Ping's position, the protective clothing was snatched by Shi Zhong and others, and a pot of old wine was handed over, and after each person poured a sip, he warmed his whole body. As for the 18th Brigade Regiment of the 19th Brigade behind him, whether he was crying or making trouble, shouting or shouting, let him go. Ishige told everyone to leave quickly, because the Japanese had already left the barracks, and there were more people this time than last time, so it would be troublesome for them to be entangled.

When Xu Ping's people returned to the station, the other two groups had already returned, Wei Zhigao's target 6th Brigade Regiment 35th Wing was on the railway side, the road was relatively close, this wing had suffered large losses in the previous operation, relatively low-key, the defense of the station was good, there were ditches, iron nets and patrol personnel, but these could not block long-range artillery attacks, but blocked their own evacuation road, and also hindered their active attack, until Wei Zhigao's artillery team calmly finished the 8 rounds of tea No. 1 with it, Nor can a decent offensive be organized. In the face of such a weak opponent, Wei Zhigao was tasteless, retreated early with Luo Wei and his gang, and brought back 90 mortars.

As for Li Baicheng, the task was more difficult to complete, and the 36th Wing of the 18th Brigade was relatively well prepared, they cut back a lot of wood in the woods during the day, and lit a bonfire as soon as it was night, making the entire barracks look like a party. Li Baicheng waited for a long time, but he could not wait for the opportunity to fire poison gas bombs, and in the middle of the night, perhaps the news of the attack on the other two wings came, and the defense of the 36th wing also became tighter, and the Type 92 infantry guns entered a state of combat readiness, searchlights kept firing indiscriminately, and at the same time, heavily armed soldiers squatted at the entrance of the barracks, ready to charge at any time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Baicheng died down, took advantage of the excitement, returned in defeat, and went back directly, Boss Mo said, fighting devils does not fight overnight, as long as there is a life, it can be fought any day, and tonight will temporarily let go of a horse.

Xu Ping and Wei Zhigao both agreed with Li Baicheng's approach, comforting Li Baicheng and saying that when he goes out again tomorrow night, let him fight first, and then do it when he has beaten enough others, so as to ensure that he will have a good time. Huang Tianhua laughed and said, you must not make another move tomorrow, this kind of thing can be one or two, and there are not many grandmother's birthdays in a year.
