Chapter 5: The Fog of Gunfire
On November 6, the 26th year of the Republic of China, in the early morning, the rain stopped and there was no wind. The after-effects of the night rain began to show, forming large patches of morning mist.
In the south of Songjiang City, the defense line on the north bank of the Huangpu River under the responsibility of the 1O7th Division has three main ferry crossings, which are Jinhebang, Mishidu, and Deshenggang from west to east. The 1O7 Division has two brigades, the 319th Brigade and the 321st Brigade, and the 319th Brigade has two regiments, the 637th and 638th Regiments.
Desheng Port, located in the southeast of Songjiang County, ten miles of Huangpu River, hundreds of high and low houses are tightly clustered together, a small street passes through the town in the north-south direction, a dirt road leads to the Songjiang River in the north, and the southern end of the small street is the Deshenggang Wharf. The town is surrounded by large patches of paddy fields and vertical and horizontal ditches, and Cheng half-moon shapes the victory port on the turbid Huangpu River. The day before, I got the news that the Japanese army had boarded 6, and the residents had already run away, leaving only a quiet empty city, sleeping in the early morning fog and not waking up.
The outpost was a new recruit, exhausted from the night's march in the rain, walking in a wet gray military uniform with a wet rifle and wet cloth shoes on the wet side streets, making a soft crackling sound. Twilight stopped, looking through the fog on the street, and now there seemed to be a figure shaking at the end of the street.
"Who!!" the sentry's hoarse, loud voice echoed through the quiet side street, disappearing into the fog. After a moment of silence, a crisp response broke the silence with the sound of the air tearing through the sentry's chest, striking the brick wall by the side of the street, splattering a cloud of debris. It's the devil - the gunfire suddenly clamours, and the whistling Grim Reaper begins to weave up and down the foggy streets, smashing tiles, piercing through windows, or jumping on the rubble floor, occasionally sparkling, with occasional muffled grunts, to wake up the sleeping town. The 638th Regiment had just arrived at the port of victory, and was bumping into the vanguard of a certain division of the Sixth Division that had just landed on the shore and disembarked.
"Report, we've got devils. ”
"Lao Tzu is not deaf, how many devils are there?"
"I don't know. ”
"I don't know if you're still coming to report a fart! Let the first battalion resist the front, the second battalion will enter the city to seize the high points and key points, and the third battalion will immediately go to the river bank on both sides of the town to deploy defenses. ”
"Yes!" the herald spread his legs and disappeared into the fog with the order of the regimental commander.
The commander of the third company followed the order of the first battalion commander, carried a shell gun, and led the third company out of the small street and into the alley. "Hurry, fucking hurry up, the second row of alleys for me to touch forward, until I can see the devil at a distance, the first row is responsible for occupying the house, a good position must be occupied in front of the devil." ”
"What is a good position?" asked the platoon commander as he ran with the team, turning back to the company commander.
"I don't care what position your mother has, it's a good position to be able to play the position of a devil!" The commander of the third company replied casually to the platoon leader, and when he turned around, Wang Lao led the three platoons to follow behind him, and then opened his mouth and said: "Well, you three rows ......."
Wang Laojiao immediately interrupted the company commander's words: "Our third platoon is responsible for protecting the company headquarters. ”
The third company commander was angry when he remembered what happened last night, and the pocket watch forced me to return it, not to mention, and even his mother even gave Lao Tzu's gun away. Now you, Wang Lao, have a shy old face and actually want to protect the 'company headquarters'? I have a company commander, a guard, and a signal soldier, where did you come from? Protect a bird? Raise your hand and point to a small two-story building in front: "Do you see it, that's your position in the third row, defend it for me." ”
Wang Lao picked up the direction of the company commander's finger and looked at it, a small building appeared and disappeared in the mist, although it was only two floors, but it stood out proudly in a low house. , this is to send Lao Tzu to heaven......
The gunfire in the side streets became more and more intense, and machine guns on both sides began to fire. Wang Lao kept cursing in a low voice all the way, and led the three rows to the small building. As the distance is shortened, the small building becomes clear, the first floor is the same as the surrounding ordinary houses, it is a brick and stone structure, but the roof is connected to a wooden second floor, there are windows on all sides, and then a roof with southern characteristics is designed, and the upstairs and downstairs area is not large. Speed up the pace and turn the alley to the corner of the small building, and I have already seen the door of the small building. Suddenly, a few figures sprang out from the corner of the wall on the other side of the small building!
Wang Lao's heart sank suddenly, because he had been running on his own, he couldn't stop, so he resolutely threw himself forward, slid directly to the low wall on the opposite side and lay on the ground.
The big man, Zhao Yong and the silly boy have been following the platoon commander in front of him to run with their heads down, seeing that the platoon commander reached the corner of the wall and flew out directly, he was stunned at the corner, and when he turned his face, a figure on the other side of the small building rushed out, and the big man and Zhao Yong poked there and began to pull the bolt. This qiē was born in an instant, and before the silly boy could recover his taste, he felt a sudden force on the back of his waist, and he suddenly felt a pain, screaming and falling out and rolling down beside Wang Laojiao.
In fact, when he was about to approach the corner of Xiaolou, Hu Yi, who was running at the back of the line, whispered to Wang Lao, wanting to remind him to stop. This small building is not far from the dock, although it is foggy now, the devil may also appear at this commanding height, or he may come to seize it. Before approaching Xiaolou, Hu Yi's bolt had already been opened, but unfortunately at that time, Wang Lao was cursing the third company commander like a magic barrier, and he was a little distracted, and he didn't hear Hu Yi greeting him from behind.
The moment Wang Lao, who was in front, fell from the corner, Hu Yi prepared for the worst. Wang Lao's seemingly strange way of falling on his stomach was the instinctive reaction of a veteran at a critical moment, and Hu Yi could see it. Although the eldest man and Zhao Yong have also participated in a few battles on Jinpu Road, they are still inexperienced and don't understand it at all, let alone the silly boy.
Hu Yi kicked the stupid boy in front of him in the first moment, twisted his left shoulder against the corner of the wall, leaned out half of his upper body, the butt of the gun was pressed against the right shoulder and his cheek, and the muzzle of the gun was raised quickly and exhaled at the same time. Slightly squinted eyes, concave lookouts, straight crosshairs, and figures on the opposite side...... Seem...... It's also a gray uniform...... It's a split-second thing. Before the big man and Zhao Yong pulled the bolt, the trigger under Hu Yi's right index finger was about to be pulled to the end......
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! ”
Hearing the cry from the opposite side, Wang Lao slashed the fire and jumped out from behind the low wall: "I'm cāo, you are a row of eight lambs, are you ghosts?"
The person at the front was also frightened into a cold sweat by Hu Yi's muzzle and the trigger that had been sunk deeply, and said sly: "I wanted to occupy this second floor as a firepower point, but I didn't know that you were here." ”
Wang Lao replied angrily: "For such a critical position, the company commander has given us the responsibility of the third platoon, so you should get out of here." ”
The stupid boy grinned and got up, covered his waist and grinned at Hu Yi: "Why do you always kick me, there is a kind of you to try to kick the big one." ”
Zhao Yong couldn't help but be a little afraid when he thought about the scene just now, and after calming down and thinking about it, everyone's reaction was seen in an instant just now, Wang Lao picked an old immortal and fell so fast, his ability to act when he saw the opportunity was really amazing, he could fly directly into the dead corner, he really thought he had stepped on the watermelon peel, and almost shouted for him, worthy of being an old fritter; Hu Yi was running at the end, and he didn't know the situation, he was actually the only one in the audience who was about to shoot, and when he and the big man, including a few garlic heads in the opposite row, were still rushing to pull the bolt, that guy was already about to take someone's life, and he was alert and fast like a wolf, how did this non-human thing do itIt seems that it won't be as simple as the background of the supervising team, and Wang Laoxuan must know more about the bottom. looked at the silly boy complaining about Hu Yi, thinking that the silly boy is a silly boy, he doesn't know the blessing in the blessing, he would rather the kick just now was himself, and he had to rush to say thank you afterwards.
Upstairs and downstairs have carefully checked, the brick wall on the first floor is quite thick, the corner of the ceiling has opened a square opening, and a wooden staircase has been built against the wall to connect to the mouth to the second floor, the basic wooden structure on the second floor, it is estimated that this room is built twice. Hu Yi stopped the big man from trying to push open the window, and just looked through the corner of the broken window in the direction of the dock to the south. It's about 400 meters from the pier, and there are a lot of houses in between, and it's foggy that you can't see the details of the pier.
Wang Lao asked Zhao Yong to look at the door on the first floor, told the stupid boy to find furniture and wooden boards to block the window on the first floor, and then climbed up to the second floor to observe it through the window, and then sat on the ground and took out a cigarette and lit it. "The position is a little higher, so I put the black gun, at least I don't have to fight in the street in front. Now that the fog is so big, I can only hear the sound of gunshots, and I can't see the devil at all, and this time even the black gun is saved. Wang Lao picked up as if he was talking to himself, as if he was asking Hu Yi's opinion.
Hu Yi's eyes never left the gap in the window, carefully distinguishing the gunshots in the fog, as if answering Wang Laojiao and saying to himself: "If the fog gathers and does not disperse, it is rain, and if the fog disperses, it is sunny." ”
