Chapter 759 Home Letters and Thoughts
The war ahead was still everywhere, and gunfire exploded.
At this time, an officer from the Northeast Army was fiddling with a box cannon in the ruins behind. The box cannon had a longer magazine that was very different from the ordinary box cannon, just because it was a box cannon of twenty sounds.
"What a good gun! Where did these guys get so many good guns?" the officer said to himself.
The officer said "throwing this bunch of fun" refers to Shang Zhen and the others, and he was the Gu Company Commander who borrowed Shang Zhen and his gun and refused to return it.
"I heard that it seemed they snatched it from the Japanese devils." A soldier from the company replied, but the soldier was Zhou Xiu.
"Just bullshit, have you seen the Japanese devils use this gun?" Company Commander Gu expressed his disbelief.
"Company Commander Gu, I heard from them that the Japanese devils were dressed as ours at that time, but they were ambushed by them." Zhou Xiu replied.
"Is it possible? Wang Fu, do you believe it?" The company commander Gu tilted his head and asked a platoon leader under him.
"I don't believe it, how big a pie fell from the sky could smash their heads.
If I ask, they are just a group of cowards who don’t want to fight with the Japanese and just wander outside.
I don’t know where they got these guns, and then brag about how many Japanese devils they killed." The platoon leader named Wang Fu answered disapprovingly.
"I think it's a big deal." Company Commander Gu also expressed his disdain for Shang Zhen and his group.
Zhou Xiu opened her mouth to refute but she didn't say anything. He now regrets having to come forward to borrow a gun for Company Commander Gu.
He and Shang Zhen and the others fought side by side. Although he did not admire Shang Zhen and the others' style of refusing to fight tough and bad wars, he had no doubt about Shang Zhen and their combat effectiveness.
The current situation is that Company Commander Gu and his friends borrowed the gun and clearly didn't want to return it. As this former subordinate of Company Commander Gu, he really couldn't say anything.
Although the company commander Gu is now a second-tier team, the defenders who are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army have almost fought, so this company must continue to go on.
And the result after this connection is also predictable.
Up to now, the 337th Brigade in Xiaobengbu has accumulated nearly a thousand casualties, and the Japanese army will never be too few. After all, crossing the waters has a natural disadvantage. As long as the ship sinks a lot, the Japanese army will be drowned.
For both sides of the enemy and us, this offensive and defensive battle is like playing a card game called "filling a big pit". Both sides of the enemy and us can only fill in people. The so-called victory or defeat is just a question of how many people they fill in. It is impossible to occupy or defend the strategic location on the north bank of the Huai River without casualties!
Because of this, Company Commander Gu rushed up to play as a substitute, except for living and dying with the position, there would be no second option. To say that it is a nice saying of living and dying with the position or dying for the country, if it is to be unpleasant, then they are all dying people!
Under this premise, how could Zhou Xiu still ask for a gun for Shang Zhen and the others when facing these dying people?
"Are you all ready? We'll get on in a while." Company Commander Gu put away the gun that once belonged to Shang Zhen and ordered.
Then he turned his head and said to Zhou Xiu: "Put your order last, your mission has been completed, and there is nothing you can do here."
"Company Commander Gu, I-" Zhou Xiu was about to speak, but was stopped by the Company Commander Gu. "You have died once, so we should go first this time."
But then the Company Commander Gu grinned again: "You don't have to express any determination to me. Just want to die in this battle, but you won't be able to avoid this time!"
Although what Captain Gu said was unpleasant, it was also true. However, Zhou Xiu still looked at his old company commander gratefully.
When fighting a positional battle, rush forward, you will die. Only when you drag behind will you have a glimmer of hope.
Some soldiers began to sort out guns and ammunition, and one person moved the other person naturally started to move.
But at this moment, the platoon leader named Wang Fu suddenly complained: "Damn it, this battle is a fight, and there is no place to send a suicide note to your family."
Wang Fu's complaint made all the soldiers present look up at him. Although they were still tidying up the guns in their hands, their expressions were depressed.
Yes, these days, there is no place to post the suicide note written to your family in your pocket.
My home is outside Wanliguan Mountain, and the postal route has been cut off. It has been occupied by the Japanese army for eight years. It has become the inner pain of all Northeast soldiers.
But even if the postage is constantly running, you can't mail the letter back.
Just imagine, there has become a world of Japanese devils and traitors. If a letter arrives at home and lets those beasts see it, wouldn’t it reveal the secret that their family members are anti-Japanese families, and that would harm their family members.
"Oh, I dreamed of my mother when I was sleeping last night." Then another soldier said.
What the soldier said made the company commander frown.
The war is imminent, saying these words will hurt morale.
But the company commander Gu who was about to say something did not open his mouth when he looked at the soldier.
Just because that soldier is a veteran, not only has his seniority but also has an age, but he is fifty this year.
The veteran and he were in his early forties when he entered the pass, which was considered to be in his prime, but now he is fifty. Before he knew it, the Northeast Army, who left his wife and children, had been in a foreign land within the pass for eight years!
For such a veteran, Company Commander Gu would never be able to say anything.
"This person didn't think he was young, and he always wanted to be out, thinking that it was easy to mess around outside.
But now I am older, but I miss my mother. I guess my mother is no longer here now.
Alas, even if I go back now, I can’t find the grave if I want to burn a few pieces of paper.” The veteran sighed.
Then he looked up at Company Commander Gu's face and then smiled with a slight smile on his own, "So, the little Japanese girl doesn't let me go home to see my parents, and I can't let them go home to see their parents. Isn't it just a desperate effort? Who is afraid of who? Why do I earn them for twenty or thirty years?"
He was old, over fifty years old, and the Japanese soldiers were only in their twenties. Even if he died with the Japanese soldiers, wouldn’t he just earned the Japanese soldiers for twenty or thirty years?
He was a veteran after all. He just glanced at the expression of Company Commander Gu and knew what his company commander was thinking. Who would have thought of what he said at first and then he became bold and bold!
"Twenty!" The company commander Gu smiled, "Old Ma is right!" Then he said to the other young soldiers, "You are young, you can't make money like the Japanese devils for twenty or thirty years like the old horse, but you can't kill one enough money, and kill two of them to earn one!"
Morale is like this. When Lao Ma said it was low, everyone was in a bad mood. But when Lao Ma said it was heroic and Company Commander Gu encouraged him again, all the soldiers also left the sorrow of parting behind.
If you want to go home? You want to! But if you don’t kill the Japanese, let’s go home? Whoever blocks our way will kill whoever, the gods will kill the gods, and the Buddha will kill the Buddha!
"It's time for us to get on!" The company commander Gu finally stood up and shouted, so all the people in their company stood up from the ruins and left in front of the guns and cannons.
The Xiaobengbu blocking battle has been fighting for a few days. There are no intact houses in this area. Now there are flying bullets flying over their heads, and they only need to advance another 180 meters. Then whoever lives or dies depends on the will of heaven.
But at this moment, a soldier suddenly came back from the front of the right with the cover of the ruins. It was the lookout whistle they set in front of them.
The sentry was not old and looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was tall and tall, and he looked a bit similar to the ancient company commander.
Zhou Xiu recognized this soldier. This soldier was actually the younger brother of Company Commander Gu. There were five brothers in Company Commander Gu's family, and this younger brother was named Guman.
Guman followed his brother in the Northeast Army when he was half a boy. Although he was not old, he was already a genuine veteran.
"Company Commander." Guman shouted.
"Say." Corps Gu responded.
"I saw the group of people who borrowed our guns." Guman reported.
"Where are the guys who borrowed our guns?" The Company Commander Gu was stunned for a moment, "They are here?"
"I don't know, I see they are hiding near the original brigade headquarters." Gu Man replied.
The company commander Gu frowned and looked at Zhou Xiu, but when he saw Zhou Xiu's confused look, he obviously didn't know what the group of people ran to the front to do.
