Sun Ping is 20 years old this year.

Don't look at his youth, he has been in the army for more than three years, he came from the Long March, not only is he an old party member, but now he is also the squad leader of the second company and the second squad of the assault company.

At the beginning, he was able to join the assault company led by Zhang Qingshan because his hearing was easy for ordinary people.

At this time, he was leading the whole class of soldiers, honestly working as a porter, urgently carrying shells.

Suddenly!

He faintly heard an unusual sound, but the sound was too small, and the sky was dark, and there was no moonlight, the visibility was extremely low, and it was pitch black from ten meters away, so he was not sure. So, he was stunned for a moment, glanced at the source of the sound, and listened carefully, but there was no movement, he felt that he probably heard it wrong, shook his head, and muttered, "Why have you been mishearing lately?" bent down and hugged the shell box with both hands......

But as soon as his hands touched the sides of the shell box, and he was about to exert himself, suddenly, a muffled sound of breaking dead branches was clearly heard in his ears...... It could only be the sound of heavy objects crushing tree branches, and now in this area from morning to night, even if there are animals, they will either be scared away long ago, or they will hide in their burrows, and they will never dare to come forward. In other words, the sound of the dead branch breaking can only be artificial.

And there is a cordon outside, so the number of people who come will definitely not be large, probably the fish that slipped through the net before.

"Who's the ......?"

Sun Ping was startled, and immediately put down the shell box, before his waist was straightened, his right hand touched the box gun on his right waist, and he shouted loudly in his mouth - not only forcing the comer to come out, but also reminding the surrounding comrades.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a slight collision, and then he saw a black and fist-sized thing flying over and rolling directly to his feet.

Looking down, Sun Ping's frightened soul was actually a grenade used by a devil.

Without even thinking about it, he instinctively kicked the grenade back.

Since the other party even threw a grenade, let alone a grenade used by the little devil, it can only be the enemy.

"Bang! Bang!"

Sun Ping, who was taken aback, didn't think about it, and unceremoniously raised his hand gun to the front, and roughly estimated that there were three shots.

At this time, the comrades-in-arms around them came back to their senses and hurriedly pulled out their guns, some of them shouted to remind their comrades-in-arms, and some even took out their guns and were about to rush over there, but they were knocked down...... Everyone was ready to shoot at the enemy.

After the three shots, Sun Ping held the gun tightly, his eyes widened, and he stared nervously - because of the gunshots, he couldn't hear the other party's reaction, and the visibility was too low to determine whether to hit or kill the other party.

The waiting time of about a second made Sun Ping feel like a year had passed.

Suddenly!

In the dark night, a black figure rushed over quickly, opened his arms, as if he wanted a bear to hug something, and shouted something in his mouth.

I don't know if it's because I'm too nervous, which leads to a high level of mental concentration. Sun Ping felt that he could see clearly at once that this little devil was holding a grenade in each hand.

The frightened Sun Ping hurriedly opened fire, and the comrades-in-arms beside him also pulled the trigger one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

In the midst of the sound of box cannons, the little devil was less than six meters away from the nearest pile of shell boxes.

It seems that this little devil who was beaten into a sieve fell very unwillingly, and everyone is safe.

However, Sun Bin found that when this damn little devil fell, he seemed to concentrate all his strength on his right hand, and threw the grenade in his hand towards the nearest shell box from the bottom up.

Some breathed a long sigh of relief, others pointed their guns at the darkness in front of them, and some cursed...... But no one has noticed this!

"Lie down!"

At the critical moment, Sun Ping had no distractions, and he was bent on saving this pile of shell boxes and saving all his comrades, and for this, he would do whatever it takes.

With a burst of shouts, his eyes were firm, his face was solemn, his teeth were clenched, and he quickly rushed towards the pile of shell boxes.

Everyone looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he was rushing to the shell box in such a hurry at this time. However, when everyone looked at the shell box as he ran, someone finally found the grenade that was less than 1.5 meters away from the shell box.

At this moment, everyone was stunned...... Even if someone wants to move, it is not as fast as Sun Ping.

And Sun Ping rushed to the grenade, estimating that it was too late to kick it away, he gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, his body jumped up, and he pounced directly on the grenade.

"Comrades, kill devils!"

"Boom!"

The two grenades exploded almost simultaneously, and the effect was similar: the grenade in the left hand of the little devil who was killed blew the little devil's left hand in half. And Sun Ping was also torn apart by the explosion, and blood and broken flesh were sprinkled everywhere with the explosion.

"Little grandson~!"

"Squad leader~!"

"Sun Ping~!"

At this moment, the soldiers' eyes were red, and they rushed over with grief and indignation, but they were at a loss for Sun Ping, who was almost half a shoulder and a head left, and they all beat their chests and feet, and cried loudly.

Sun Ping died, but the shells in the shell box were saved. And the last sentence before his sacrifice, "Comrades, kill devils!" was deeply engraved in the hearts of all people and became an immortal spirit that inspired everyone to fight bravely to kill devils. It also shows all enemies that the Chinese nation has two Great Walls -- one is the Great Wall of 10,000 miles made of stones, and the other is the Great Wall of Spirit, which is made of flesh and blood. The Great Wall does not fall, but the spirit lives on, and the way to see this Great Wall of Spirit is simple - all it takes is for the invaders to step into the land.

After learning of this, Zhang Qingshan gathered the artillery company, gently stroked a shell, looked at the dried brown blood on the shell box, and said with a sigh: "Comrades, please remember that every shell you shoot is not only infected with the blood of the martyrs, but also carries the last wishes and unyielding spirit of the martyrs, which is of great significance!"

And the stunned reply was: "There is nothing to say, we can only train desperately, strive to be able to fight wherever we want, and hit every shot, in order to be worthy of the efforts of our comrades and our own conscience!"

Just a minute before the martyr Sun Ping died, the staff officer who had just run back with the rout of the Yamaguchi Naoi Daisa, who had just run back with the rout, learned that the artillery position had been occupied by the assault regiment, and all the artillery and shells had been seized by the opponent.

I don't know if it was the fainting before that made him have the ability to withstand the blow now, he didn't get angry, just nodded lightly, and lightly ordered everyone to retreat with the car.

However, as soon as he gave the order, he heard a grenade explosion from an artillery position.

Let Yamaguchi Naoi Osa look up impressively, with a little hope, staring at the artillery position, fantasizing about the appearance of one after another, huge explosions.

But reality disappointed him, and apart from three grenades and a dense burst of gunfire, there was no scene of his fantasy, but he quickly returned to calm.

After waiting for a while, after making sure that there was no sound on the artillery position, he slapped the window edge heavily, opened his mouth wide and wanted to roar, but he never made a sound, and after a while, he sighed and said: "It's a mistake, it's really a mistake, you shouldn't send someone over to rob it, but you should shell it directly, it's a pity......"

This is where his viciousness lies: according to his thinking at this time, he should not send someone to blow it up, but should use small steel cannons to fire directly at the artillery positions. In this way, the entire artillery position will inevitably be blown up, and even the comrades and the people of the assault regiment above will definitely be finished together. However, fortunately, he was more flustered at the time, and he was defeated by Zhang Qingshan in terms of conspiracy, which was not as good as Zhang Qingshan, so the panic and frustration made him not think much about anything else at that time, but instinctively sent someone to blow up the artillery position directly.

And at this time, even if he reacted, it was too late: first, the situation on the battlefield was very critical, and it could be judged from the sound of gunfire alone that the opponent was launching a full-scale charge against them, and it was not far from them, if he didn't leave, he really couldn't go. Second, the gunners of the small steel cannons had already dispersed at this time, and only a few small steel cannons had been moved to the cars, so they could not be allowed to get out of the cars and then set up a position to shell the artillery positions, right? In that case, I am afraid that before they could set up the small steel guns, the men of the assault regiment would have already destroyed them. To put it bluntly, time is in a hurry, and life is the first. In our words, it is 'stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood', anyway, there are many little devils who send cannons and shells.

"Sir......

"Forget it, let's go...... Alas~!"

With the long sigh of Naoi Yamaguchi, the tragic battle of Pigeon Pass was decided and the curtain came to an end...... Zhang Qingshan wanted to send someone to stop these deserters halfway, but the problem was that he himself had no soldiers to send! If he pursued and killed, his side would not have any advantage, but would give the little devils a chance to take advantage of. Therefore, after chasing and killing for a mile, Zhang Qingshan gave an order - poor Kou Mo chase!

Hindsight!

In this battle, the assault regiment sacrificed 5473 people, seriously wounded 149 people, and most of the lightly wounded - don't look at this large number, but you must know that this is the first time that the assault regiment has fought a positional battle, and there are many recruits among them.

Kill three hundred and ninety-four imps, including the imp cavalry. But the problem is that the little devil captives were not caught, including the little devil wounded, and they were either rescued by the little devil himself, or committed suicide. It can be seen from this that the little devil is indeed fierce under the brainwashing of militaristic thoughts.

The two devils are worthy of being afraid of death, or rather, their life-saving methods on the battlefield are indeed superb, and two hundred and eleven were killed and two hundred and seventeen captured.

The third battalion, which had been blocking the rout of the county town of Sanqiao in the rear, had sacrificed ninety-four people, seriously wounded seventy people, and only thirty-three lightly wounded. However, although they did not seize much in terms of weapons and ammunition, they caught a little devil.

In this battle, a total of 739 long and short guns and countless ammunition were captured. Six mountain guns, with one hundred and twenty shells. Thirteen small steel cannons, all intact, but a little less shells, only two hundred and eighteen shells.

With this surprise, Zhang Qingshan's regret for not seizing a big car was washed away a lot.

Although it was a disastrous victory, this battle was of great significance: from the perspective of the overall situation of the entire Anti-Japanese War in this area, it was conducive to the development of a base area, and to put it bluntly, it was to lay a piece of territory, whether it was now or in the future, whether it was soldiers or material, there were many benefits. As for the assault regiment itself, this was their first positional warfare, and after this battle, the commando regiment's positional warfare capabilities were thoroughly tested.

For Zhang Qingshan himself, if he reports this battle, the punishment for his previous offenses will inevitably be reduced. After all, it is now a national war of resistance, and from a personal point of view, Zhang Qingshan has made great contributions. For a commander like Zhang Qingshan, who has rich command experience and can often win battles, it is definitely the most scarce and needed.

Of course, even Zhang Qingshan himself thinks so, but ......
