Chapter 12 The Eve of the Battle

"You can't hold the gun or practice aiming on duty today, right?" While Shang Zhen was thinking about his thoughts, the soldiers who came to change the guard arrived.

Shang Zhen glanced at the soldier who lowered his head and said nothing, then walked back with his gun on his back.

When Shang Zhen walked to the kitchen, others had naturally eaten.

The food is also very simple. The staple food is sorghum rice and the vegetable is potato stewed with cabbage.

Shang Zhen was already very hungry. He took the two large bowls of sorghum rice and ate them into his mouth. In a short time, the food left for him by the cook was gone.

I can't figure out what's going on. Shang Zhen wasn't originally a big eater, otherwise he wouldn't have been as skinny as a stick.

But after breaking out of the Beida camp that night, Shang Zhen's appetite suddenly increased. He can now eat as much as two people.

In this regard, Li Fushun said that this is a good thing. If you can eat, you need to gain weight. You can't be like a loser as a soldier.

Li'er is this Li'er, but the problem is that they are in the army and eat in the canteen, so how can the cook take care of him alone?

So for this period of time, Shang Zhen has always been in a state of being half hungry and half full.

Naturally, Shang Zhen was not full this time. He raised his head and glanced pitifully at a cook who was squatting at the door smoking a cigarette and asked: "Brother Wang, is there no food?"

The cook also spoke very forcefully. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you want to eat raw sorghum rice?"

Shang Zhen was speechless as he was a newcomer.

But just when he stood up and was about to walk out, Ma Erhuzi ran in from the outside in a hurry.

"I guess you haven't eaten enough, let's see what I brought you?" Ma Erhuzi put down a package in his hand and spread it out.

"Huh?" Shang Zhen, who had always been taciturn, laughed because there were six ears of roasted corn in the package.

The roasted corn is yellow and dark, exuding the unique aroma of food.

"For me?" Shang Zhen asked.

"Of course it's for you, it's all for you, third brother got it!" Ma Erhuzi said with a smile.

Shang Zhen grinned happily, stretched out his hand, touched an ear of corn and started to nibble on it.

There are people in the court who are good at becoming officials, and there are people in the company who are good at eating! Li Fushun took very good care of his younger brother Shang Zhen.

"Oh, there are roasted corns too. I'll have some too." The cook came over.

But before his hand could touch the corn, he was snatched away by Ma Erhuzi next to him.

"Without you, it's so hard to add a bowl of sorghum rice to my brother!" Ma Erhuzi made no secret of his displeasure with the cook.

Of course, Ma Erhuzi can be considered a veteran, although he is not as senior as platoon leader Wang Laomao and squad leader Li Fushun.

But he is a tiger. The tiger in Northeastern dialect means that this person is relatively dull and has a bad temper, similar to a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs.

That cook dared to offend Shang Zhen, but he would never dare to offend Ma Erhuzi.

"You're as thin as a stick, and it's a waste to eat any more!" the cook, whose face turned red because of Ma Erhuzi, said sarcastically.

"What is waste?" Of course Ma Erhuzi was not happy.

He and Li Fushun have a good relationship, and Li Fushun's brother is his brother!

"Our waiter stabbed two Japanese soldiers to death with bayonets. If you are not convinced, just ask who in our company has killed Japanese soldiers?" Ma Erhuzi looked at Shang Zhen and said proudly.

"Really or not?" The cook glanced at him and then laughed, "I'm as skinny as a stick. Didn't you just knock down the Japanese soldiers by yourself?"

"Empty words." Ma Erhuzi sneered. After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Shang Zhen's waist. "Did you see that there is the bayonet of the Japanese Type 38 rifle? My brother snatched it!"

Naturally, he couldn't bear to throw away the Japanese bayonet that Shang Zhen grabbed when he broke out at Beida Camp.

In his opinion, this bayonet saved his life, and the steel mouth of the Japanese bayonet was very good, so it would definitely be used in future battles.

So he took the time to make a thin scabbard for the bayonet, and then hung the bayonet on his waist.

"Pull it down quickly, maybe you picked it up somewhere." The cook still refused to admit defeat.

The so-called Huihufu also refers to the cooking team, which is responsible for the meals of the entire company.

That gangtian was not familiar with Shang Zhen, and he did not notice the bayonet hanging on Shang Zhen's waist. As for the people in Shang Zhen's platoon, they knew that Shang Zhen was the last one to escape, and it is said that he also killed the Japanese soldiers.

"Tell him, waiter, how did you snatch it?" Ma Erhuzi said very proudly for Shang Zhen.

"Actually, I don't know if he was stabbed to death or not. It's all in vain." Shang Zhen answered vaguely while chewing corn.

"Look -" the cook became more eloquent after hearing what Shang Shi said, but as soon as he said two words, they heard a faint roar from outside.

"Plane!" Ma Erhuzi and the group of Tiandu stopped bickering and ran out.

Shang Zhen ignored it and was already chewing on the third ear of corn.

It's not like he's never seen an airplane before, whether it's from the Northeastern Army or the Japanese Army, so he had to solve his stomach problem first.

But at this time, he heard the sound of the plane getting louder and louder. At the same time, he heard Ma Erhuzi shouting outside: "Come out, waiter!"

Shang Zhen also felt that something was wrong, so he bit his corn and ran outside.

When he walked out of the house, he saw that the plane in the sky was already very big, but it was flying from their village, and it had already begun to dive!

Shang Zhen was so excited that he spat out the half-eaten corn in his mouth. He glanced at it and ran directly behind a big tree in the yard.

It was a big elm tree, and I don’t know how old it was. The thickness of the trunk was incomparable to others, at least thicker than Shang Zhen’s waist!

"Brother Huzi, come on!" Shang Zhen didn't forget to greet Ma Erhuzi.

Just when Ma Erhuzi and he hid behind the trunk of the big elm tree, they heard the sound of "holes and holes" of machine gun fire amidst the roar of the approaching plane.

It was not the ground troops of their battalion who shot at the Japanese aircraft, but the Japanese aircraft started strafing.

With a "click", a branch almost as thick as an arm above Shang Zhen's head was broken and fell down.

Shang Zhen instinctively squatted down and covered his head with his hands. When he turned around, he saw that the thatched cottage behind that was used as a canteen was beaten and smoking.

But it wasn't over yet. When Shang Zhen looked up again, he saw the big bird-like plane passing over his head, and then a black thing fell out of the belly of the plane.

bomb!

Not afraid of heaven or earth, just afraid of planes pulling daddy!

At this moment, Ma Erhuzi instinctively lay down, but Shang Zhen stretched out his hand to pry the trunk of the tree. With that strength, he hid directly on the other side of the big elm tree!

A moment later, Shang Zhen heard a deafening loud noise, and then the branches on the old elm tree above his head fell down like raindrops, which were washed away by the air wave of the explosion.

Shang Zhen shook his head and felt that he was fine before looking out. At this time, he saw a huge mushroom-like black cloud rising behind the cafeteria. The mid-air was filled with bricks, tiles, wood and the like that had been blown up.

Flying things.

Fortunately, the bomb dropped by the Japanese aircraft did not blow up the canteen. If it had blown up the canteen, Shang Zhen felt that he would not be able to escape.

"Brother Huzi, are you okay?" Shang Zhen didn't care about the things that were blown up and fell around him. He hurriedly went to see Ma Erhuzi.

At this time, Ma Erhuzi also got up from the ground, but Ma Erhuzi looked at Shang Zhen and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly!"
