Cheng Tietsou punched the tree trunk next to him.
The crown of the tree trembled violently.
The knuckles were already dripping with blood.
But the pain in the body is far less than the pain in the heart.
In the leading vehicle was his brother from the fire support platoon, a veteran with six years of service. He knew that he would not survive since the moment the Japanese machine gun bullets flashed sparks on the lead vehicle.
However, just watching his brother continue to move forward in the moving torch, but he could do nothing. Facing the army lieutenant who dared to shoot at the Japanese planes, he couldn't help it at this moment.
Tears flow.
But he couldn't blame his commander. He knew that his commander might be more heartbroken. The seventeen people who had been sacrificed were all soldiers selected by each company under his order.
Regardless of combat skills, just the courage to die is enough to make him the elite among thousands of elites.
However, such elites could not pick up their guns and die on the battlefield fighting the Japanese invaders. Instead, they could only use their bodies to withstand the ravages of the Japanese invaders' bombs and machine guns.
This may become a lifelong nightmare for any commander.
"Anyone who dares to fire a shot without our military orders will be subject to military law!" Tang Dao's tone was extremely cold, showing no emotion at all.
But only those who are familiar with it will know that the more Tang Dao is like this, the more dangerous it is.
The last time he was like this was when he was at Sihang Warehouse. That time, hundreds of Japanese invaders were wiped out.
What about this time? What will he do?
no one knows.
However, the Chinese soldiers who looked at their almost frozen commander were very sure that they would definitely have the opportunity to shoot revenge bullets at the Japanese aircraft that were showing off their power in the sky.
Otherwise, how can you sleep even if you have a long night?
Yes, the hypnotic drug that allows them to fall asleep at night can only be the corpse of the enemy.
However, the military order to fire was not issued, and they could only watch the four Japanese planes still racing at an altitude of 500 meters.
They did not pull up, but targeted the carriages and cavalry that were still scattered in the wilderness.
In order to stay away from the slower-moving infantry, the cavalry fled to a wider field without getting into the woods that could block their bodies.
Such an obvious goal, of course Junji Watanabe will not let it go.
Although these horses were running as fast as they could, for a fighter plane that could fly dozens or even hundreds of meters in one second, they were as slow as ants crawling on the ground.
Finger snaps, metal bullets spray, and then horses and human bodies are torn apart, and blood and flesh fly everywhere. This feeling is even more satisfying than using a machine gun to turn a truck into a torch...
Lu Sanjiang was galloping on horseback. He didn't even bother to look back. The roar of the aircraft engine was getting louder and louder. The battlefield intuition he gradually developed from wandering on the edge of life and death told him that the Japanese plane was getting closer and closer to him.
It was as if the gun had been pressed against his back.
But he had no choice. At this time, escaping into the woods was the stupidest choice. The bombs dropped by the Japanese planes would blow him and the infantry who might be hiding inside into ashes.
He also did not want to abandon his horse and go into the bushes, losing control of it. The horse would probably wait there and become an easy target for Japanese aircraft.
War horses are also the cavalry’s closest comrades!
So, he could only continue to escape.
The rumble of horse hooves behind him made Lu Sanjiang feel a little relieved.
He knew that the veteran was still following him closely.
Although the veteran only has one arm left, for a cavalryman who needs to control the horse and lift a gun and sword, it already means losing most of his combat effectiveness. But as long as the veteran is there, Lu Sanjiang, who has gradually become independent, will feel at ease.
Even if Lu Sanjiang finally made his choice early that morning and fired a shot at the cavalry in the distance in the darkness, it was actually because his veteran was by his side and he had little fear of the Japanese cavalry hundreds of meters away.
The long-term dependence will not disappear as he grows up.
But why did the sound of the horses' hooves following him suddenly become softer? It was like a war drum that was gradually becoming weaker.
Lu Sanjiang turned around, his liver and gallbladder about to burst.
The veteran actually chose to rein in his horse, drew his gun from the holster on the horse's back, and jumped off the horse.
What did he want to do? Lu Sanjiang's mind couldn't turn around for a moment. He instinctively tightened the reins and slowed down.
"You bastard, you are so good at running away! Do you want to stop and wait for death?" The veteran held a gun in one hand, pointed the gun at Lu Sanjiang's horse, and roared: "Sergeant Lu Sanjiang, listen to the order and move forward 100 meters at full speed.
, turn to the left! Anyone who does not follow the military orders will be killed!"
In the wilderness at this time, the roar of the Japanese 96-ship bomber engine resounded through the sky, and the sound of horse hooves scattered in the wilderness was like thunder that constantly struck the eardrums. Although Lu Sanjiang and his old squad leader were only 30 meters apart, in fact
He couldn't hear anything.
He only saw his old squad leader with his mouth wide open and roaring at the top of his lungs, with his gun pointed at him.
Then, the veteran was seen severely beating the maroon war horse under him with the butt of his rifle.
To the cavalry, war horses are like their own legs. Without war horses, the cavalry may not even be considered a soldier. The cavalrymen take good care of their silent comrades.
Just like the maroon Mongolian horse under the veteran's seat, which he affectionately called "Big", it was born with a large frame and was strong and powerful. Originally, Battalion Commander Gu Shaoxun loved it very much, but the "Big" horse had a rebellious nature. At the beginning of training,
Gu Shaoxun was thrown off his horse several times. As a battalion commander, Gu Shaoxun was busy with affairs, so how much time did he have to cultivate a relationship with the fierce horse, and finally assigned it to the veterans to handle.
In order to make the 'big guy' obey, the veteran was extremely gentle. Not only did he save his own bread to feed it, he even moved his own bedroll at night and slept in the stable in the freezing weather, sharing the same food for more than two months.
Sleeping together, I managed to conquer the unruly 'big guy'.
The 'big man' also lived up to the kindness of the veterans. Whether it was long-distance marching or short-distance sprinting speed, he was the best in the entire battalion. This was also what the veterans were most proud of. Lu Sanjiang, who was brought into the military camp by him, listened in his spare time
What he brags about the most is the tacit understanding and friendship between him and the 'big guy'.
But now, he was beating it, beating it hard with the butt of his gun.
That means I want it to go away.
Lv Sanjiang suddenly understood.
He understood what his veteran squad leader wanted to do.
The veteran wants to stay where he is. A target that is not afraid of death and will not dodge will certainly attract the attention and anger of the enemy planes that are coming at him in a menacing manner.
Watching the prey flee under your own power and letting you slaughter it wantonly, the pleasure is actually far greater than the killing itself. But if a stranger suddenly appears and takes the initiative to challenge you, the first reaction is to tear it into pieces.
The speed of the fighter plane exceeds one hundred meters per second. When the Japanese fighter plane targets him, it only takes a few seconds for the Japanese plane to pass over this area, and the threat of the machine gun will
He would go there unless he was willing to drop a bombshell for the few dozen cavalrymen in this area.
Even if the Japanese planes will turn to attack again, at least this wave will not pose a big threat to the cavalry.
Lu Sanjiang not only understood what the old soldier wanted to do, he also understood what the old soldier was shouting just now, which was to tell him not to stop and continue running, but also to turn around and not keep a straight line with him. That was a military order.
A military order given by a cavalry ensign to a cavalry sergeant.
“Ah!” Lu Sanjiang roared in pain like a wolf howling.
Turns around and kicks the horse in the belly, causing the already extremely anxious horse under the seat to immediately gallop away.
Horses’ instinctive fear of approaching danger is far greater than that of humans. The approaching roar in the sky is like an approaching tiger. It has long wanted to leave here, as far away as possible.
However, the veteran's war horse "Big Man" chose to refuse, and the butt of his gun was smashed several times. "Big Man" neighed angrily, but was unwilling to leave, so he circled around the veteran.
The close comrade of the cavalry not only rejected the command given by his brother, but also rejected his own instinctive fear. If his brother did not leave, he would not leave.
The veteran cried.
From Northeast China to North China, and then from North China to Southeast China, he experienced countless battles, countless comrades left in front of his eyes, and even his arm was chopped off alive. The strong veteran did not shed a single tear.
But now, he is crying.
“Idiot, if you don’t run away, you will die.” The old soldier muttered to himself with tears streaming down his face as he looked at the horse that still refused to leave after being beaten by him.
"I know you want to take me away, but I can't run away! As long as those little brothers are alive, they can kill more Japanese. I can't do it anymore, so I can only provide them with a last cover."
The veteran looked at Lu Sanjiang's back, which was no longer looking back, with tears of relief flashing in his eyes.
His once young brother has grown into the strongest warrior because he knows how to accept military orders, knows the choices made by his brother and commander, and also knows the responsibilities he still bears.
If he doesn't understand this, he will run back and live and die with his brother.
If he dares to take a step this way, the veteran will be disappointed and will kill his horse with one shot without hesitation.
At least, if the horse dies, the brothers who have not yet grown up will survive.
But now, he’s gone, which is good!
“You run! You can still be a good helper for them and help me kill the Japanese.” The veteran stroked the huge horse’s head with his bandaged bald arm.
The bay-red horse seemed to understand the veteran's murmur, its huge eyes flashed with tears, and it neighed "Hui Hui'er". Its four hooves kept tapping on the ground, showing its fear of the approaching aircraft.
But he still refused to leave.
"Idiot! Idiot!" The veteran kept cursing, but he hugged the horse's neck fiercely.
“If you don’t leave, then we two brothers will fight against the enemy together and see what the Japanese planes are capable of.” Tears flowed from the veteran’s eyes, but he suddenly smiled.
The veteran no longer stubbornly drove away his brother, but raised his gun and pointed it diagonally at the sky.
Use the residual arm as a gun stock.
The war horse stood in front of him with his head held high.
Before the ‘Tiger’ volleyed towards him, the silent comrade-in-arms chose to be the brother’s last shield.
Just like the choices made by veterans.
At that moment, the golden sunlight of the east rising sun shone on the maroon horse, coating it with golden light.
It is like a solidified sculpture of a man and a horse.
Even at this moment, the roar of Japanese fighter planes resounded throughout the sky.
This scene is engraved in the hearts of all the soldiers who can be seen around.
Throughout his life, no one can forget it! ……
PS: It was really painful in the morning yesterday. It was much better after the gravel at noon, but my body was still uncomfortable. I endured the discomfort and went to four more classes in the afternoon. After resting for a night, I finally felt better. Thank you everyone.
