Chapter 13 The Enemy Attacks
The location where Shang Zhen and his company were stationed was not in Jinzhou City, but in a small village outside Jinzhou City.
That plane flew here just to "take care" of it, while the other four or five planes all headed for Jinzhou City.
With just one plane, one bomb and one machine gun, twenty or thirty people in this village were killed and injured, and several houses were blown up.
So one can imagine what the situation was like in Jinzhou City, which suffered more bombings from planes.
Looking towards Jinzhou City from this village, you can see more than a dozen huge smoke pillars rising above Jinzhou City. When the black smoke above the smoke pillars disperses, it looks like clouds before rain.
Jinzhou is located on the Western Liaoning Corridor, which is like a pole carrying North China at one end and Northeast China at the other.
The Western Liaoning Corridor is a narrow passage between Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan. It is bounded by mountains to the north and the Bohai Sea to the south. It is 15 kilometers at its widest and only eight kilometers at its narrowest.
If the Japanese army wanted to enter North China from the Northeast, they had to pass through the Liaoxi Corridor.
The cities scattered along this corridor, such as Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Huludao, Jinzhou, etc., have become important strategic nodes.
Especially Jinzhou, which is located at the forefront of the Liaoxi Corridor. How could the Japanese army not attack Jinzhou?
If you travel from other places, you either have to climb over the mountains and walk through the Mongolian desert, or you have to swim in the Bohai Sea to Yingkou or North Korea.
This is really too difficult!
Therefore, the Liaoxi Corridor has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
The Japanese army used planes to bomb Jinzhou. This should be just a prelude to the coming war.
Hu Biao's company became busy, rescuing the wounded and putting out fires.
However, they were only busy for a while before Hu Biao issued an order to gather the troops.
"Have you seen the waiter?" Li Fushun asked Ma Erhuzi.
At this time, Ma Erhuzi's body was already a smoky color.
When the Japanese plane dropped the bomb, luckily it wasn't too close to him and didn't hit him. His ears were also buzzing from the bomb, but luckily, his hearing recovered after a while.
Already.
But the problem was that the fire caused by the explosion set the kitchen on fire, and Ma Erhuzi was busy going to the house with the people from the cooking team to carry out the sorghum inside.
"It's okay, waiter. That kid is more nagging than me. He was working with me just now!" Ma Erhuzi replied.
The reason why Ma Erhuzi answered like this was because when the Japanese planes bombed earlier, Shang Zhen first hid on the side of the tree.
But when the big plane just flew over and started dropping bombs, Shang Zhen hid on the side of the tree again.
In this way, Shang Zhen was naturally safe under the cover of the tree. Ma Erhuzi felt that Shang Zhen's life-saving consciousness was stronger than that of a veteran like himself.
Li Fushun was relieved when he heard what Ma Erhuzi said, but he was still mumbling in his heart, where did this kid go? Now that they have gathered, the troops are taking action.
Their village was actually a village on the outskirts of Jinzhou City. When the battalion commander Zhang Lianjie gave the order, he did not dare to blow the trumpet, but asked the correspondent to inform him.
The reason is that this place is close to Jinzhou City, and the attack will definitely begin after the Japanese planes bomb.
If they blew the horns, they might attract the Japanese troops. Then wouldn't they just be looking for trouble?
The thump of footsteps sounded, and the men of Hu Biao's company had already begun to gather.
Li Fushun was thinking about Shang Zhen and naturally kept looking at him, but he never found out where Shang Zhen was.
And it wasn't until everyone had finished lining up that Li Fushun saw Shang Zhen running out of an alley, his ears and mouth still black.
Looking at him, it looked like he had eaten something, not just smoked by fireworks.
Li Fushun thought that Shang Zhen had gone to eat the few ears of corn he had given him. The queue had already been completed at this time. He could not ask any more questions, so Shang Zhen stood beside him with a dark mouth.
"Check your firearms, bring the bullets, and let's go outside the village." Company Commander Hu Biao ordered.
After a burst of clattering equipment, their company set off.
There is a small high hill outside the village. When the whole company lies here, they can see the gate of Jinzhou City on the flank.
Hu Biao's company and the other two members of their battalion are outside Jinzhou City. They are actually used to protect the flanks of Jinzhou City.
Since the Japanese army was about to attack, how could Hu Biao and his company stand by and watch?
After only watching for a while, they heard the "hole-hole" sound of a heavy machine gun on the top of Jinzhou City. However, due to the obstruction on the ground, they could not see where the enemy was.
When some soldiers stretched their heads and tried to look, they were scolded by the company commander Hu Biao: "You all pull your heads back. I can't even see you. Can you look at me? Let those idiots see you again!"
It was a war now, and even if some soldiers usually dared to argue with the company commander, they all behaved themselves this time, and the soldier also lay down with a red face.
"Did you go to Gaha just now?" At this moment, Li Fushun asked Shang Zhen in a low voice. Their position was the farthest away from the company commander Hu Biao, so they were not afraid that the company commander would hear it.
"It's hard to have a full meal!" Shang Zhen's answer surprised Li Fushun.
Shang Zhen obviously saw Li Fushun's confusion, so he reached out and took out a handful of black granular objects from his pocket. It turned out to be burnt sorghum rice!
Li Fushun looked at the two-meter-high peanut again, and then at Shang Zhenying's dark mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
He originally thought that Shang Zhen was hiding because he could not see the bloody scene after the plane bombing, but who would have thought that he would go and get food for himself!
No need to ask, then the torch caused by the bombing must have set the kitchen on fire. While Shang Zhen was helping to carry rice outside, he secretly ate a lot of burnt sorghum rice!
When did my waiter become a big eater? He ate not enough rations for one person, so he ate corn rice several times, and then he ate so much roasted, half-cooked sorghum rice!
This is not a problem in normal times, but the problem is now wartime. If a war really breaks out, sometimes you can't even think about eating. So what should Shang Zhen do?
When Li Fushun wanted to say something more, Ma Erhuzi beside him poked him lightly. When he looked ahead, he saw many small black spots rushing towards the gate of Jinzhou City.
