Chapter 281 Waiting for Darkness
The sunset has set, and it will be time to set in more than half an hour.
However, as the weather is getting warmer, the wet soil that has been dried during the day has not been frozen yet.
More than 20 Japanese soldiers were hiding in the woods. The guns in their hands were facing the direction of the mountain pass, but their ears were listening to the sounds of gunfire from afar.
The so-called distant point refers to their southeast direction, where there are still several gunshots coming from time to time.
These Japanese soldiers couldn't understand it. Their team leader Fukuhara Tsuka took some people to chase and kill the group of Chinese soldiers. Why hasn't they come back yet?
Now it seems that their people must have surrounded the group of Chinese soldiers on a mountain. They can only guess this way, otherwise they will not be able to explain the gunshot.
At this time, just a few miles away from these Japanese troops, there were really two soldiers wearing yellow Japanese uniforms firing shots.
However, it would be fine if the military uniforms worn by these two soldiers were covered in blood, but the top was a little small.
So the armpits of the tops they wore were already opened, revealing the gray military uniform inside.
"This little guy is not real at first glance!" The soldier in yellow skin spoke, but it was Erhanzi's voice.
The little face Erhanzi mentioned naturally refers to Chu Tian.
Last night, when Shang Zhen took Erhanzi and Qiu Bo out to throw grenades, Chu Tian "lent" his box cannon to Shang Zhen. At that time, he said that he only had the ten bullets left in the gun.
Shang Zhen really shot all the bullets during the night attack on the Japanese army.
The bullets were completely destroyed, and the box cannon was at least not used for the time being, so Chu Tian asked for the box cannon back.
But just as Shang Zhen and his friends were ambushing the Japanese army chasing them again, Chu Tian, who was fighting outside the narrow valley, fired the box cannon again at the critical moment!
The box cannon that had no bullets started again. Is it still necessary to ask why?
It was undoubtedly Chu Tian who lied. He still had bullets in his hand but did not give Shang Zhen!
He was afraid that Shang Zhen would like his box cannon!
So, Erhanzi, who has always been honest, was angry after learning about this.
"That's right, who is true to me!" The man who was with Erhanzi answered personally, but it was Huzhuzi.
"Are you real? You are a tiger!" Erhanzi said bluntly.
"Why am I?" Hu Zhuzi was still dissatisfied
"Aren't you a treacherous person? Shang Zhen was leading the war in front and you were making a fool of himself behind him. He almost killed him. You deserve it!" Erhanzi said again.
When Hu Zhuzi heard that Erhanzi raised this matter, he blushed and stopped talking. He raised his rifle and pulled the bolt to shoot at the distance, but he didn't know where the target was.
"Don't be a tiger in the future, do you hear that?" Erhanzi was very good at scolding the tiger pillar like a big brother.
"I understand." It's rare that Hu Zhuzi actually admitted his mistake, "I swear, I will recognize Shang Zhen in the future.
Unless I die, he dies."
This is how Hu Zhuzi speaks. He always speaks with such a stupid temperament. If Erhanzi doesn’t understand what kind of person he is, he will think he will go to Shang Zhen to fight for his life!
"Why did you recognize me this time?" Erhanzi asked again.
"Doesn't you have to say it? Just like Shang Zhen's aunt, I'm convinced! Look at our kung fu and grenades thrown. When I poked my head out from behind the stone, I saw all the dead ghosts, and there was no one standing there!" Hu Zhuzi became excited.
"That's, hehe." When Hu Zhuzi mentioned the "grenade ambush battle" in the afternoon, Erhanzi became excited, and he also talked to Hu Zhuzi about the process of throwing grenades.
But he was talking about the tragic situation of the Japanese army to Huzhuzi, but he did not forget to shoot two more shots in the distance.
At this time, in the bushes several hundred meters away from the mountain pass, Shang Zhen led most of their men to lurk in Japanese uniforms. The telescope in Shang Zhen's hand was always observing the Japanese army opposite.
"It's almost done. As we discussed, go and call Erhanzi and Huzhuzi back!" Shang Zhen ordered, so he hid in the last small dustpan and got up and turned around and ran southeastward.
Shang Zhen knew that they had to rush back from the mountain pass tonight. If they didn't go back, they would not have enough ammunition but their food would be gone.
But Shang Zhen didn't know that at that end of the mountain pass, Li Lezheng, the commander of the brigade guard company, was talking to the people from the first battalion and the first company.
"You said that the boys who came out of the mountain brought food for three days?" Li Le asked.
"Yes, sir." An officer next to him was about to salute Li Le.
"No, no!" Li Le quickly stopped him, "I am the company commander and you are also the company commander. What kind of salute you would like to salute me?
Besides, have you not heard from the brigade commander? Don’t salute me if you see the brigade commander on the position in the future. The Japanese’s shooting skills are accurate! You should let me live two more years!"
"Yes, sir!" the company commander said hurriedly.
It would be normal for him to restrain Li Le when he saw him.
Just because he was originally a platoon leader of the first regiment, battalion and company, this time their company commander was beaten to death by the Japanese army, but he was directly dismissed as a company commander by the brigade commander Liu Chengyi.
Otherwise, it would be easier to become an official during war!
The process of promoting him was very simple. Liu Chengyi asked him, "If the Japanese attack again, would you be a deserter?"
The platoon leader’s answer is also very simple, there are only four words in total, unless I die!
With just this sentence, he became the company commander.
"Sir, what did you think those kids went out for?" The company commander asked when he saw Li Le was very kind.
Li Le actually didn't mind whether he called himself a commander or not. What he minded was not to salute him here.
Seeing that someone asked him, he thought about it and laughed: "Who is a deserter, then he doesn't run back or out?"
"Sir, you mean them--" The new company commander dared not make it clear.
The group of people he and Li Le are talking about now naturally referring to Shang Zhen and the others. He doesn't think that Shang Zhen and the others will fight against the Japanese army when they run out, so you can imagine what to do when they run out of the Yamaguchi.
"Where do you want to go? They won't surrender to the Japanese. If they want to surrender, they have to go here to surrender? These kids really dare to do anything in order not to defend their positions!" Li Le sighed.
"Is there such a lunatic?" the company commander expressed surprise.
"Is it a madman who probably will have a result tonight or tomorrow?" Li Dong said.
In his opinion, Shang Zhen and the others brought food for three days, so they would not run back if they had no food? If they didn't run back, they would be chased away by the Japanese army, or they would all be killed.
Li Le was thinking, when a soldier ran over and said, "Report" and then said, "Company Commander, the brigade commander asked you to go back to the brigade headquarters."
"Okay, then I'll go back, don't forget what you said." Li Le said.
"Yes, sir!" the company commander responded quickly.
Of course he remembered what he said, how could he not know how he became the company commander?
At this time, Li Le and the soldier had just walked away, and the soldier had already whispered to Li Le: "Company Commander, I heard the order from the brigade headquarters, let us retreat after the darkness of the trip."
"Hmm?" Li Le couldn't help but be stunned.
Retreat? Li Le naturally would not have any thoughts about the orders above, but he couldn't help but look back at the mountain pass. Can those kids still come back?
At this time, in the direction of the main position of Gubeikou, Commander Du of the 25th Division had just given the order to retreat after dark.
He looked at the smoke that had not yet disappeared from behind, and his face was extremely complicated.
More than 2,000 people in his division have been killed in the Gubeikou defense line!
